The Basketball Court Swordsman

In the dressing room, everyone was a little tired. After all, every time they attack, every time they defend, they will encounter a player who can restrain themselves.

And playing tired, this is the situation Henson least wants to see. The lessons of David West and Ray Allen are still "fresh". It is Henson's goal to win the game without being exhausted.

But it is clear that today's game is not as easy to end as the Pacers imagined.

Henson knew that he had to make some adjustments. In the absence of two main players, make some adjustments that make Larry Drew unprepared.

At the moment, there is only one person who meets this requirement-Sean Livingston.

After signing for a month, it is time for him to play a role.

"Sean, the first half of the game has allowed you to adapt to the atmosphere of the scene." As always, after the players rested for two minutes, Henson spoke.

"Huh?" Livingston raised his head in surprise. He didn't expect that in such an anxious situation, the head coach would actually talk about himself first.

But soon, he withdrew his surprised expression and tried to calm down, "I'm completely used to it, boss. Is it...is you wanting me to play?"

??? Henson nodded: "Yes, we need to make some changes to break the balance on the court. I think it's a good idea to change you up, Shelvin Malone, that guy is strong and strong Hurry up. Hey, don't frown Lance, I didn't blame you. Don't worry, I will let you deal with someone better. But Sean, Mark is a bit inferior to you, height!"

Henson said, picked up the marker and drew on the big white board.

"I need you to sit in the low post, torture him with your back, and try to score a few goals. At that time, the Hawks' defense will be completely messed up. Then, use your coping ability to create opportunities for teammates who cut into the inside. Larry Drew thought he knew us 100%, went up and told him that he was wrong."

Henson knows what Livingston can do. If you let him shoot three-pointers and let him control the team like Chris Paul, then he is definitely not a good player.

But if you let him fire at the mid-range, give him the right to post singles and let him occasionally support him, Henson believes that Livingston will not let himself down!

Some players are easy to use no matter how you use them, such as Kobe Bryant or LeBron James. But for some players, you only have to find the right way to use them in order to achieve their full potential.

For example, Sean Livingston.

"I see, boss!" Livingston nodded vigorously. He didn't get a minute to play in the first half of the game. He thought he would have to wait for garbage time to show his face today.

Unexpectedly, the opportunity said that it would come! Now that the opportunity has come, there is no reason to waste it.

So in the second half of the game, in the crowded Banker’s Life Arena, Old Drew watched the opposite half nervously, trying to figure out what lineup Henson would change into.

Since Henson is now engaged in egalitarianism, the starting players may not start every quarter. The camera was aimed at the Pacers bench, and they saw Lance Stephenson sitting on the bench in the training ground, and Chris Paul sitting on the bench in the training uniform!

"How did Coach Henson plan? Don't use the number one position? Join the death defensive lineup? Or does he plan to play by himself?" Bill Walton's eyes widened, and the scene he saw afterwards was even more amazing.

I saw Sean Livingston take off his training uniform and stood beside Henson. The two whispered to each other. Henson seemed to be making the final arrangements for Livingston!

That guy, do you want to start the second half! ?

Henson hooked Livingston's shoulders and put his mouth close to his ear: "See what we are now? We are entangled with the eagle, we can't get the score."

Livingston just listened with his hips akimbo, without speaking.

"After going up, try to attack from the middle distance as much as possible. Don't worry, I know what you are good at, so you can do what you are good at. Shelvin Mark is strong, but he is not a back guard. A good offensive player. I want you to look at the opportunities, score efficiently, and disrupt their rhythm for me!"

Henson pointed at the ball, then held his fist, "Give me a **** good hand!"

Then, the electronic buzzer sounded and Henson greeted everyone, including Livingston.

Livingston closed his eyes, felt the cheers passing by his ears, felt the fierce fighting atmosphere, felt the hardness of the wooden floor under his feet...

He's back, Sean Livingston, the guy who chased the basketball dream and never let go, is back!

"Unexpectedly, Coach Henson actually let Livingston play! Bill, what do you think of this adjustment? You said Livingston could not affect the game, but Coach Henson let Livingston play at this critical moment!" Chris Weber looked at his commentator partner with interest, and Bill Walton did not speak, but frowned.

He thought that Livingston would not affect the game, but Wharton was still uneasy when he saw Livingston play. Because everyone knows that Henson Joe’s employment adjustments almost never go wrong!

"Mark, let that waste pay the price!" Larry Drew triumphantly sent Shelvin Mark to the field. In his opinion, Henson was really desperate, and he sent Livingston up to try his luck.

But in competitive sports, you can't bet on luck! Even Stephenson can't handle Mark. Can he solve the problem by sending a guy who is not good at shooting instability and athletic ability?

Livingston took the baseline ball from Horford and then slowly advanced. There was warm applause in the stands of the Banker's Life Arena. But Livingston knew very well that these applauses were just comforting.

In the eyes of many people, it is already very remarkable that they can still find a job in the NBA.

But Livingston will prove to everyone that he didn't get a job because of sympathy!

After halftime, Livingston gave the ball to Paul George. This is very much in line with everyone's expectations. In most people's eyes, Livingston's role is like the Heat's Chalmers.

The only thing they are responsible for is to dribble the ball through halftime.

But Livingston did not stand in place after passing the ball, but quickly cut into the middle distance position!

Mark's defense was a little absent-minded, so much so that George returned the ball to Livingston, Mark still did not have the defensive strength.

"George passed the ball to Sean at the mid-range position. What would he do? Singles Shelvin Mark? Although Sean has a height advantage, Mark is not easy to provoke!" Chris Webber was very nervous. , He has brought it into Livingston with all his heart.

"Singles? No, there is no singles ability in Livingston." And Bill Walton still doesn't believe in evil, he doesn't believe that any player to the Pacers can turn corruption into magic.

Livingston holds the ball in the middle distance, his eyes fixed on Shelvin Mark in front of him. Mark couldn't help feeling cold on his back, and from Livingston's cold face, he saw a strong murderous aura!

Livingston drove it twice on the spot, found the rhythm, and suddenly leaned back!

He wants to play singles!

"Hold the ball with your back! Everyone knows that Livingston likes to score at the mid-range position. But back singles..." Webber scratched his head. In fact, Livingston's turnaround jumper has been very powerful. It's just that no one remembers what he could do after wandering for so many years.

Mark is completely dumbfounded. As a number one position, he has not encountered a situation where he was singled back several times in a season. Seeing Livingston started to sit back, Shelvin Mark didn't know what to do for a while.

Should I reach for the ball? Should we defend? Or beware of this guy turning around?

?? Henson got up from the bench and stood in front of Frank Vogel. Vogel clearly saw that the guy was clenching his fists!

The assistant coach shook his head. On the surface, Henson seemed to understate, but in fact, this guy is more nervous than anyone else...

On the court, while Shelvin Mark was still considering how to contain Livingston's offense, the 2.01 meter high guard suddenly used his once shattered knee to make a strong jump, turning over to shoot a jumper!

Mark couldn't react, and hurriedly jumped two steps! But helpless, his height is already at a disadvantage, he has no interference with this ball at all! And the most terrible thing is that because Mark pounced too hard, he couldn't stop the car and hit Livingston's body.

Violate the cylinder! Fouls are inevitable, and Mark only hopes that the "trash" in Larry Drew's mouth will not score.

However, before Mark had time to turn his head, he heard the soft sound of the Nets rolling...

"Sean Livingston! A beautiful turn-over jumper. His ability to end the offense from the mid-range position is still excellent! The referee blew the whistle, Shelvin Mark fouled, and Livingston got a chance to make a three-pointer!" Go, Chris Weber was completely mad, he grabbed the microphone and yelled!

Accompanied by the fierce cheers of the fans in the stands! But this time, their applause and cheers did not come from sympathy!

? Henson raised his arms, still clenched his fists, and let out a refreshing shout!

???? Right next to Livingston, Paul George was the first to rush up and hug Livingston! Livingston is a little flattered, after all, he hasn't experienced what it's like to have a real teammate for a long time.

In the commentary, Bill Walton was completely silent. He doesn't know how to describe this moment, after three months, unclaimed, a player who almost faded out of sight. He played a role under Henson...

The magic is not only Livingston, but also the Chinese coach who wore an Armani suit and cheered on the sidelines.

"Hold on, he is just lucky, he will continue to defend me firmly!" Larry Drew shouted angrily on the Hawks bench.

But soon old Drew will know that he can't always bet on luck.

Sometimes, he will have to admit that the opponent's strength is indeed strong...
