The Basketball Court Swordsman

"Please come in." Henson, sitting in the office, heard a knock on the door.

"Henson, I... want to report a situation to you." The person who came in was Bruce Frazier, the excellent coach who saved the young Pacers' shots.

"what's wrong?"

"It's about Leonard." Fraser covered his head.

"Kavai, um... is he not obedient? Still no improvement in his shots?" When it was Leonard, Henson immediately got serious. After all, this is one of his key players!

"No, Leonard’s child is very obedient and progresses quickly, but I still have to be driven crazy by him, Henson. After every training, I have to go home to take care of the child. You know, my wife just I gave birth to our third baby, which made me feel bad. But Leonard just refused to leave. He practiced late every day and asked me to accompany him to practice more...I’m not good Reject him, after all, this is my job. But if this continues...I am afraid my wife will divorce me!"

"Puff!" After hearing Fraser's "encounter", Henson smiled unkindly.

"Come on, Henson, I'm serious." Fraser had an expression of impossibility.

"Well, I'll talk to Kawai. Don't worry, from now on, he won't bother you with your children."

Looking at Leonard's performance on the court, Henson suddenly remembered a conversation he had with Fraser during the regular season of this season.

Since then, Leonard has not forced Frazier to bring himself to practice at night. But since then, Leonard has become the first player to come every day, because Frazier is the team's first coach. In this way, Leonard will have more time to practice offense with Fraser every day.

Therefore, Henson was right. Leonard's most valuable talent is not his height and wingspan, but two qualities-low-key effort and buried emotions!

Even so hard, he never complained about the substitute role. But when Henson needed him, he never let this Chinese coach down.

At this time, Leonard's time spent on the training ground and all those efforts made have all paid off!

At this point, the game between the Pacers and the Heat has reached the final and most critical moment. Leonard continued to break through with the ball, and LeBron's tank-like body did not stop the taciturn No. 2.

After Leonard jumped to the basket, the Heat's defense began to shrink. Seeing this, Leonard waved his long arm and re-divided the basketball to George who was beyond the three-point line. The young No. 24 guard is not soft, receiving the ball and shooting the ball is the foundation of his original foothold in the NBA, let alone this is still a big open.

In this way, Paul George hit a three-pointer and moved the score to a 93 tie! The remaining time of the game is only 49 seconds!

"Unbelievable, Leonard can actually attract the Heat's defensive contraction! God, just about 48 minutes ago, we thought he was just coming up to contain James. However, the task given to him by Coach Henson was to kill Miami directly. Heat!"

Kenny Smith's heart beats wildly. He knew Leonard and knew what that guy could do. But today, Leonard's performance completely exceeded expectations.

The game is so anxious that the Heat will shrink because of Leonard, but it's not without reason.

People have not forgotten James’ three turnovers, Leonard’s three-threat moves to complete the breakthrough points time and time again, and how the long arms created trouble for James on both ends of the offense and defense. Leonard, who was silent, became the master of the game without knowing it!

At this point, Leonard has scored 26 points and hit 65%! LeBron scored 10 more points than Leonard, but his shooting percentage was only 40%!

Throughout the game, Leonard continued to block the Heat and James. When West and Horford came off the court to rest, Leonard even topped the fourth position for a while! He successfully backed up several fouls for his inside teammates, allowing the Pacers to avoid foul troubles. Of course, it also successfully prevented James from attacking the frame several times.

When Spoelstra and James discovered that Leonard was not just an engineer today, he had already assisted George to hit a key three-pointer. In other words, they found out too late!

The Filipino called to stop the game. In the last 40 seconds, he needs to arrange his final attack. There is no doubt that Spoelstra was prepared for this, and the anxious game with the Pacers did not surprise him.

Today, the main offensive point of the Heat at a critical moment is undoubtedly James, who just completed the overtime buzzer lore two days ago!

Now the score is just a tie, and Spoelstra believes that James can still dominate the game at critical moments!

On the other side, Henson also replaced the "death defense" as planned. In the last 40 seconds, it is almost time! Only this time Henson only left Horford an insider on the court, and the remaining four were Stephenson, George, Jimmy Butler and Leonard! This is an upgraded version of "Death Defense". Because Henson knows very well that Spoelstra will definitely play the 4th position with the stronger offensive Battier at the critical moment!

"Remember my request. My request is not to give them a chance to take the key ball. They can't take it!" Before going on the field, Henson re-emphasized his strategy, and when people saw the Pacers' lineup, they all They were stunned.

"At a critical moment, Henson put in such a rare lineup! They did not have the orthodox No. 4 position, but it happened that Coach Spoelstra also replaced Haslem with Shane. Come, the lineup will be fully matched!"

Spoelstra shook his head. This is not a coincidence, but his rotation was predicted by Henson in advance!

But if you can expect it, it doesn't mean you can win.

After coming back from the timeout, the Heat took the lead in the attack. Chalmers looked at the four fierce perimeter defensive gates opposite, and felt a little bit helpless.

So Chalmers passed the ball to James early, and Leonard got entangled as soon as James received the basketball!

"Leonard's defense is as active as ever. He froze James early and didn't even give James too much visibility to pass the ball."

As soon as Kenny Smith finished speaking, James suddenly broke through! His teammates have opened up space for him, he only needs to get in and layup to equalize the score! But Leonard has been giving James a strong confrontation, and James also knows that this ball is very important and must be grasped!

But all the way to the basket, James still failed to drive Leonard. Thinking of his experience of being guarded by Leonard in previous games, James did not dare to force it. After all, this is a key offense related to the outcome of the game!

As a result, James temporarily changed the main point while on the move, dividing the ball to Wade!

However, Paul George has long been waiting for this moment. At the moment James passed the ball, George straightened his long arm in a timely manner and took a big step to intercept the basketball before Wade! In the last game, Wade assisted James to complete the lore! Today, James made a fatal mistake!

"It made a mistake! Paul George pushed forward with the ball! Wade tried his best, but couldn't catch him at all! Here, here... Hey! One-handed fly buckle one step into the free throw line! Paul George, he almost killed this game!"

"Fuck, do you really think that every key ball is yours!?" Henson yelled unscrupulously. Spoelstra wanted James to end the game every time, so he had to ask himself if he agreed. !

2 minutes difference, time has 32 seconds. The Heat have not been completely killed yet, they still have a ray of life.

This time, it is still James. He hopes to grab a two-pointer with a breakthrough. After all, James is more certain of the breakthrough score than the long shot. However, the death defense contracted very quickly, so quickly that James had fallen into the encirclement circle before he could react to pass the ball!

In the face of tough confrontation and countless slender arms, James can neither attack the frame nor find the pass target. But James can't stop the ball just like this, because he is standing in the three-second zone at this time, if he stops like this, he will be blown three seconds offense!

In the chaos, Leonard quickly started everything! In the penalty area, James was "inexplicably" knocked out of the ball, making a second consecutive turnover!

After picking up the basketball, Stephenson ran a long way immediately, preventing the Heat from fouling the first time and wasting their time. In the end, Battier rushed directly and knocked Stephenson out of the field. His move undoubtedly caused another commotion on the court.

To this, Henson still had no response. Now the commotion will only affect the distracted Heat, and it has no relationship with the Pacers!

After the conflict subsided, Stephenson got to the free throw line and made 1 of 2 free throws. Finsen is not a stable player. If he were, he would have become a superstar. But even so, the Pacers still led the Heat by 3 points in the last 12 seconds. They still control the initiative. If the Heat lose this game, the hero James of the previous game will bear all the responsibility for the loss of this game!

After that, the Heat also knew they needed three points. As a result, the ball was hit by Bosh. James is already a little scared. After all, the Pacers made it clear that they were targeting him at the last moment, otherwise he would not make two mistakes in a row.

Henson's request is not to give Wade and James the opportunity to shoot at critical moments, which does not include Bosh. Because he believes that the current "Dragon King" is no longer the "Dragon King" in Toronto! Even before the game, this guy blew a very untimely awesome force.

Bosh made a three-pointer, but Horford's forward pounce was very timely! Horford's moving speed is fast, and he can also defend the outside. This is why Henson only left him on the inside at the last moment!

With Horford sealed to his fingertips, Bosh, who claimed to be "badly played in the last game", shot out a three-pointer! Leonard leaped high, received his 10th rebound, and reached a double-double!

"Bosh missed a shot, which almost ruined the last hope of the Heat! They still had a timeout, but they had to foul!"

Henson smiled triumphantly, and Bosh, who was the most vocal before the game, missed the most crucial goal of the game. This is true, creating perfect conditions for myself to fight back.

Although the game is not over, although the Heat still have a theoretical chance of winning. But Henson didn't care anymore. He believed in his team and the lineup that ended the game in just 49 seconds.

At this time, Coach Henson sat back on the bench. He was already thinking about how he would become addicted to the media later.
