The Basketball Court Swordsman

The Indiana Pacers reached the Finals. Since the Mavericks defeated the Big Three and won the championship last year, this is undoubtedly another unexpected thing for all fans and another upset in the league.

Henson admitted that he, including himself, did not expect that the Dallas Mavericks who won the championship last season would be "unsurprising". They don't have a champion appearance, and they are all veterans leading the team.

Last year Henson was shocked by this incident, and this year others were shocked by how shocked the Pacers could reach the Western Conference Finals.

Perhaps it is precisely because of such curiosity that fans are already looking forward to it before the finals. It seems that the Pacers’ current gold absorbing ability is not worse than that of the Heat. The appeal of the Pacers to fans has also been different from a few years ago.

After the Eastern Conference Finals, the advancement of the Pacers also had various effects on the league.

First of all, on the second day of the Eastern Conference Finals, Henson received a $10,000 fine! Everyone knows the reason, and it was precisely because of the "improper remarks" made by Henson after winning the Eastern Conference championship.

Ten thousand dollars, this can be said to be a very heavy penalty for individuals by the NBA. You know, the league fines players for flopping and other behaviors, and it's only a fine of a few thousand dollars!

With such a thing to pave the way, with such a personality full of head coach as a gimmick, it's hard for this year's finals to attract attention.

After others won the Eastern Conference championship, they must praise their players and coaching staff, and then say some beautiful words like "We will continue to work hard."

Henson was good. After winning the championship, he did not obediently "be obedient". Instead, he bluntly said "This is a dirty game", "I don't want to see this unfair situation again" and so on. If it wasn't for the league's failure, Stern's old man might directly give Henson a "banned gift package."

"If Coach Henson has any dissatisfaction or doubts about the referee's penalty, he can appeal to the league. It should not damage the league's image out of nothing in front of the media." Stern explained the fine, showing that the old man handled this Things are very experienced.

Everyone knows whether there is any operation in the league. In 2002, the most famous Lakers VS Kings Western Conference Finals was arguably the most notorious example of the league's operation game. Although David Stern never confessed, there is no more on this matter. But some facts will not be forgotten by fans over time.

What's more, this time it is not just Henson who suffers, if only Henson scolds by himself, then fans can say that Henson is unreasonable. This time, even the "silent gentleman" such as Tim Duncan stepped up to accuse the referee. Whether the league interfered in the game is really open to question.

Therefore, although James scored 32 points heroically and fought to the last minute, although Henson was fined by the league for his harsh accusations. But in this matter, Henson unexpectedly got the support of most fans!

This is quite different from Henson's previous image as a public enemy of the whole people.

"The Pacers are great, they broke the dark means of league operations!"

"Although the mouth of Coach Henson Joe is not flattering, I must admit that this time I am on Henson Joe's side."

"Tell the truth with a fine of ten thousand dollars. Henson Joe is a man!"

On the Internet, countless fans leave messages under the news. A small press conference and a routine fine caused such a heated discussion. Maybe only Henson can bring this kind of influence.

And another heavyweight topic caused by this incident is: Is it possible for the Pacers to break through the shackles of the league again and do what the San Antonio Spurs did not do-defeat the Oklahoma City Thunder!

Stern was a blessing in disguise, although the fairness of the league was once again pushed to the forefront. But precisely because of this incident, the finals are full of appeal.

But now, Pat Riley, the Heat's "manager", must have a headache. There is no doubt that this guy has to refund the tickets one by one for the fans who have pre-purchased tickets for the finals...

Henson Joe's influence on the league seems to be getting bigger and bigger.

The issue of Henson's fine has aroused heated discussion among fans outside. But Henson himself wasn't interested in joining the excitement now. He also paid ten thousand dollars, and Henson never mentioned it again. Because now, he put all his attention on the Oklahoma City Thunder!

He knows very well that the young Oklahoma City Thunder is no better deal than the Big Three in Miami!

"It's really a team with so good talent!" This is an evaluation given by Henson after watching the video of several Thunder games. You know, the talent of the Pacers has made most people salivate, but as the coach of the Pacers, Henson thinks the talent of the Thunder is even more terrifying!

Although the Spurs lost to the Thunder, there was a whistle, but the Thunder were not useless. On the contrary, they are beyond imagination!

The Mavericks, Lakers and Spurs, the three opponents that the Thunder defeated all the way, are all three Western Conference teams that have won championships in the Millennium! And the young staff structure of this team is even more breathtaking.

Kevin Durant, who joined the industry in 2007, won the scoring champion in the third grade, and won for three consecutive years! Leading the team to the finals this year, he is only 24 years old! To be precise, there are still three months to turn 24!

Russell Westbrook joined the league a year later than Durant. In the fourth grade, he has been selected to the All-Star twice and the best second team twice. The same age as Durant, only three months younger than Durant.

James Harden, third-year player, sixth man of the season winner. There are still two months before his 23rd birthday. His outstanding performance in the playoffs is one of the important reasons for the Thunder to be able to pass the battle! After the first three rounds, Harden averaged 17.6 points per game, and his three-point shooting percentage was an exaggerated 44.6%! Especially facing the Spurs in the Western Conference Finals, Harden averaged 9.3 points and 2.5 assists in the fourth quarter of six games. Although he is the sixth man and the third in the team, he is undoubtedly the sword that the Thunder used to kill people in the fourth quarter.

Of course, we must not forget Serge Ibaka, a third-year power forward who participated in the draft in 2008 and landed in the league in 2009.

As a monster with the best physical fitness, Ibaka actually has a soft mid-range jumper. In Game 4 of the Western Conference Finals, Ibaka even performed a miracle of 11 of 11 shots! The last time someone made at least 11 shots in a single game in the playoffs and maintained a 100% shooting percentage, it was back in 1985!

Even Popovich was convinced by Ibaka: "I think it is impossible for you to make 11 of 11 shots even if there is no defense in training."

This is the Oklahoma City Thunder, a magical, young and incredible Oklahoma City Thunder. Oh, of course, and their young coach Scott Brooks, who is only 47 years old. When Henson was still on the bench as an assistant coach for Jim O'Brien, Brooks had already won the Coach of the Year award once.

From coaches to players, this team is full of legends. At this time, the young and vigorous Thunder must have been full of desire for the championship.

In their view, the opponent of the Finals is not the Miami Heat, it seems to indicate that they will win the championship!

"Headache, the team that can reach the finals is really not covered." Henson looked at the video and rubbed his temples.

"What do you think? Should we focus defensively on Kevin Durant or Russell Westbrook?" Vogel rubbed his dry eyes, no wonder even the Spurs were guttering. The ship capsized, the Thunder's configuration is really powerful and scary.

"Durant? He has won the scoring champion for three consecutive seasons. I don't think he can be easily restricted." Henson shook his head. Leonard's five game attribute bonuses have been used up, but he can't Then count on him to play in the Eastern Conference finals with the same defying performance.

"Westbrook? Hmm... I don't think that guy needs to focus on guarding. Sometimes he can shoot opponents to death, but sometimes he can shoot himself to death." Henson could see that Westbrook was The kind of players who are prone to brainstorming, this kind of player's damage to the Thunder and the Pacers is equally huge.

So in the end, Henson reversed the game video and fixed the picture on the bearded No. 13 body.

"So, we can start with this guy. His performance in the first three rounds has slumped many teams. I don't want to lose a series because of a sixth man."

Henson tapped the computer screen with his finger. James Harden didn't know that he had been entangled by the "Torture King"...
