The Basketball Court Swordsman

"You just want to test it purely, or do you want to become the team's regular tactics!?"

When Vogel heard Henson's crazy idea, the guy from pre-medical school to video editor, all the way to the assistant coach position, was shocked. Because Henson's thoughts sounded crazier than his experience!

Becky Harmon and Frazier didn't comment directly, they just opened their mouths. Because they feel that they can't keep up with Henson's thinking, and they have no perspective at all.

"I want to test it, and of course I hope this can be part of the regular tactics. You know, in the playoffs, the more skillful we can do, the better. Let's try it, starting with the next game. I I have studied the Celtics lineup, the next game is simply a hotbed for us to practice this idea." Henson spread his hands unconfirmed, he is used to others looking at him with surprise.

"I will not oppose you, Henson. But it is really not realistic to make this idea a part of conventional tactics. First, we don't have enough time to practice. Second..."

"Next what? Frank?"

"Secondly, you have to be prepared to accept failure and criticism." Vogel said, pointing to Henson's chest.

Henson certainly has the ability to accept failure and criticism, but his heart does not necessarily have.

"It's okay, just like the death defense. This is just a transition lineup. We won't keep this lineup on the court for a long time. So if the effect is not good, we can immediately correct it. But if it can be effective...man We’ve got one more killer. We’ll arrange for the training this afternoon to let the players practice this style of play. Let me tell you the truth, I’ve been excited about it for several days."

Vogel shook his head. "Then give it a go."

Vogel knew that Henson's plan sounded very unreliable. But the most terrifying thing about Henson is that he can make unreliable things reliable. Many of his substitutions and strategies were considered unreliable before they succeeded. Therefore, Vogel and the coach have no reason to refute Henson.

During the media opening hours of the training this afternoon, Stevenson with Big Mouth told reporters nervously, "We are practicing an extremely crazy style of play! I believe that by then the entire league will think we are crazy!"

After the reporters heard the news, they surrounded Henson one after another, and Henson was not angry about Stephenson's "disclosure" behavior.

Anyway, tomorrow, the whole world will see what he will do.

"You are in vain to ask me now, and I will not say anything. When tomorrow’s game starts, you will naturally see what changes the team has made. Now, go home, sir. Because of what you have Questions will be answered in the competition."

Seeing Henson's understatement, the reporters swallowed instead. It seems that the Celtics' success rate in blocking the Pacers is decreasing a little...

"God knows if Coach Henson and Stephenson colluded to confuse the audience, do these two guys tell few lies?"

"Maybe there is no ‘extremely crazy play’ at all. This is just a small way for Henson and Stephenson to disrupt the Celtics’ preparations."

In order to prove that Henson was just talking nonsense, some reporters even dug up the stalk of the finals of the previous year, "Just a joke: Chris Paul will miss three games."

On March 1, the day the Pacers and Celtics started the game, the media was overwhelmingly reporting news of the two teams. And the hottest topic among them is the "extremely crazy play" that Stephenson said.

Of course, most reporters believe that Henson and Stephenson, the ruffian mentor and apprentice, are simply confusing. Henson has never used this kind of damage.

In the afternoon, at North Shore Gardens, the Celtics coach and former Indiana Pacers assistant coach Stevens gave an interview. The problem is naturally related to this matter.

"I don't care, I just want the team to run according to my plan. As for what coach Henson has, I don't care. To be honest, I care more about his heart than Coach Henson's."

Stevens's answer was an understatement and looked very relaxed. It is not that Stevens is not afraid of Henson. He has worked with Henson for one year last season. He has fully seen Henson's creativity and subversiveness. Therefore, Henson does have the ability to develop an "extremely crazy play".

But what can be done even then? Stevens couldn't predict what this "extremely crazy play" was. Therefore, he didn't bother to worry at all. If something unexpected happens, it must be solved by directing on the spot. Now even if Stevens broke his heart, it was of no avail.

If so, why bother?

Two hours before the game, Stevens finally saw Henson and his familiar walkers in the North Shore Garden Arena. Although this game was hyped by the outside world, the Celtics have also become a new generation of "Henson Terminator".

But when the two coaches met, the atmosphere was very friendly. The two embraced enthusiastically, chatting and laughing. Stevens mainly asked about Henson's health, while Henson asked more about whether Stevens's work went well.

"The uniform composition of the Celtics is much more complicated than that of the Pacers. I am exaggerating. The workplace struggle here is much more serious than Indianapolis! And Danny Angie is an impersonal, cunning old fox. You must be careful. Being a head coach for the Celtics is not an easy job."

"Don't worry, Henson, at least I'm doing a good job now. By the way, what Lance told the media yesterday...what exactly did you arrange? You don't need to be so cruel against me, right? "Before parting, Stevens couldn't help asking Henson a question related to the game.

"You don't expect me to tell you the schedule of this game in advance, do you?" Henson smiled mysteriously, "The only thing I can tell you is that I didn't lie this time. You'd better do it enough to deal with any emergencies. Prepare for the situation, Brad."

Pat Stevens on the shoulder, and the two had just separated.

When Henson crossed the midfield line, he and Stevens were no longer good friends, but rivals!

Henson knew very well how capable Stevens was. It is very necessary to use some special methods to deal with this kind of guy...

"No matter what Coach Henson is planning, he is digging his own grave! Stevens has only come to the Celtics for one season, and he has established a relatively complete system. That's why we are this season. The reason for always being able to upset a strong team. If Coach Henson is arrogant that he can use the North Shore Garden as a laboratory for experimental tactics, then he won’t be able to eat."

Before the game began, the Celtics queen commentator Sean Grande smiled and expressed his views. The reason he said this with a smile was to emphasize his contempt for this matter.

"The Celtics' offensive performance this season is very stable. The team system brought by coach Stevens has allowed many Celtics players to play beautiful data. Don't say anything else, even Jie Green has been reborn under the hands of Coach Stevens. This season, Jeff Green’s 16.9 points per game is a career high. There is no doubt that this is the system of Coach Stevens that has given Green to Green. Lots of opportunities."

"And if Coach Henson's special tactics are true, they have only prepared for one day. In front of Coach Stevens who has built a very stable system, Coach Henson's tricks are digging his own grave. "

Sean Grand’s statement has been recognized by many fans and the media. They believe that even the Pacers should be steady when playing against the Celtics. However, Henson thought about the Celtics experimenting with new tactics?

They believed that the coach who looked down on the Celtics would fail because of his arrogance.

But in fact, Henson never looked down on the Celtics from beginning to end. The reason why he wants to make some changes is precisely because he values ​​Stevens' team very much.

At eight o'clock in the evening, the game officially began. When the starting players of both sides stepped onto the court, people found that the Pacers' lineup had not changed at all.

CP3, George, Jimmy Butler, David West and Al Horford. Henson has been using this set since his return. And Stephenson, who was so excited to "leak secrets" to the media, still sits on the bench today and did not get a chance to start.

"Coach Henson really just wants to confuse the audience?" Sean Grande smiled. "If Coach Henson confuses the audience before the game, it can only show one thing, he is afraid of the Celtics!"

The queen commentary of a single team like Grande is generally very subjective. But because of this, narrators like him are usually only well-known locally.

Stevens did not relax his vigilance because Henson sent a regular starter. After all, there is no rule that the changes to the game must start from the starter.

The Celtics' starting lineup is the same as before, with Rajon Rondo playing the first position and Jerry Bayless as the starting shooting guard in place of the injured Bradley. On the front line, Jeff Green reborn from the ashes and Brandon Buss partner. And because of his love with Kardashian, Chris Humphries, a white American insider, stood on the fifth position.

Henson squinted at Bass and Humphries. These two insiders of the Celtics can be said to be very mini. Brandon Bass is only 2.03 meters tall, not as good as George. Humphries has always been a power forward before, only 2.06 meters tall.

You know, Al Horford has always been considered a short center. But his height is 2 meters 08 anyway. Humphries was better, two centimeters shorter than Horford.

These two guys are the capital that Henson dared to put forward a bold idea!

While Sean Grande in the commentary was still touting "Stevens made Henson nervous and scared", Henson's crazy strategy was already surging...
