The Basketball Court Swordsman

Henson said that if another person is in charge, the Warriors might be able to reach the Western Conference Finals or even the Finals. It is not nonsense.

In fact, this season Henson also paid attention to the Warriors. After all, last season, Henson had already suffered from the Warriors. Although this season's elevator door tactics have been considered illegal tactics by the league, it is a mobile cover. But even so, the Warriors are still strong. This is not, just hit a wave of ten consecutive victories.

This is enough to prove the talent of the Warriors, and the Warriors in the fiercely competitive West this season have not fallen out of the top eight, it is indeed very difficult.

How fierce is the competition in the West this year? It can be said that the top seven teams in the Western Conference can be ranked in the top three in the Eastern Conference! The Pacers are the only Eastern team with a better record than the Western team. This, even the Heat did not do it!

So, don't look at the Warriors' ranking in the West as if they are not high, they have been hovering between fifth and sixth. But in fact, their strength is higher than the ranking.

But Henson believes that Mark Jackson did not exert all the strength of the Warriors.

Since the 2013 playoffs, Mark Jackson has quietly changed the team's offensive methods. At that time, facing the Nuggets series, David Lee was accidentally injured, so Mark Jackson began to try a large and four small offensive lineup, namely Curry + Thompson + Jared Jack + Barnes + Bogut, this The lineup helped the Warriors complete a comeback while falling behind.

When facing the Spurs in the second round, he tried to start rookie Green on the top to fight the Spurs' offense with a small lineup. This lineup successfully allowed the Warriors and the Spurs to fight 6 games. You know, in the Western Conference Finals last year, the Grizzlies never beat the Spurs.

This season, the Warriors have strong support Iguodala to join, Mark Jackson can put Curry + Thompson + Iguodala + Green + David Lee's first and fourth junior! There is no doubt that this combination of one big and four small is stronger than last season. Henson believes that the Warriors' small lineup is basically formed, and it is not undesirable for him to use outside offense to drive the team's defense, and it is not impossible to build a championship core lineup.

After all, the Warriors' three-point shooting ability is obvious to all.

But Mark Jackson didn't insist on playing the big and four minors. After both Bogut and David Lee returned from injury, Mark Jackson played the regular tactics instead. He did not give full play to Curry and Thompson's offensive ability without the ball, and was more obsessed with David Lee playing singles in the low post. In Henson's view, Mark Jackson is simply a violent thing.

Coupled with the conflict between Mark Jackson and most of the team, this will undoubtedly affect the team's performance. So although the Warriors have won ten consecutive victories, Henson is not afraid at all. This young team has more problems than outsiders think.

Mark Jackson has laid a solid foundation for the Warriors. If someone who seems to be similar to Henson takes over the team, he will have a big deal!

But the Warriors obviously can't change coaches midway, after all, Mark Jackson did a good job. Moreover, the midway coaching change also hurt the team's morale. Therefore, in the face of a warrior who has a foundation but has not yet been able to fully develop his potential, Henson feels that he still has a great chance of winning.

What about ten consecutive victories? The big deal is to end it at the Bankers Life Arena.

"Coach Henson, what do you think of Mark Jackson's remarks in an interview yesterday?"

March 4 was the day of the Warriors' away game against the Pacers. As soon as Henson walked into the player tunnel, he was stopped by some franchised reporters.

There is no doubt that Mark Jackson's remarks yesterday has made the game full of gunpowder and highlights. But there is a saying that makes a slap not sound. Seeing that Henson hadn't responded for so long, the reporters naturally wanted to take the initiative to trigger a war of words.

However, facing the camera, Henson looked dumbfounded, "What remarks? What did Mark Jackson say?"

"Don't you know?" The reporter's eyes widened in surprise.

"Of course I don't know, Indianapolis and the Bay Area are 3,600 kilometers apart! Why? You don't think I can hear sounds from 3,600 kilometers away?"

"Puff." Seeing Henson pretending to be silly in front of reporters, Spike Lee almost couldn't help laughing.

"You don't have to repeat it with me, I don't care what Mark Jackson said. Now, I have to go to the locker room and start working." Without giving the reporters a chance to explain, Henson went straight to the locker room.

The reporters looked at each other. When did Henson learn to avoid questions? Thinking of before, he was a guy who dared to scold reporters in public for his mental illness!

And now, Henson Joe is actually taking the initiative to avoid the dispute.

"You said...Henson Joe is really scared?" a reporter asked his colleagues.

"Perhaps, after all, facing a team that has just won 10 consecutive victories, everyone will be under pressure."

"Then how do we write our report? Just say Henson Joe is scared?"

"I think there is no other way..."

"It's right to be scared, Henson Joe should be scared. Look at the guys behind me, they are coming for 11 consecutive victories!"

Two hours later, the Golden State Warriors team bus arrived at the Bankers Life Arena. As soon as Mark Jackson got out of the car, he was highly sought after by reporters. In an interview, he said the above sentence to the camera.

It seems that Mark Jackson is very confident. Confident enough to face the defending champion Pacers, he is not timid at all.

At this time, Henson, who was "hiding" in the locker room, was not idle. Based on the characteristics of the Warriors, he has once again emphasized the points for attention in this game to the players.

Mark Jackson overlooked one point. In his 10-game winning streak, 7 of his victories were won with a large and four small lineups. Now both Bogut and David Lee can make healthy appearances in the twin towers, making Mark Jackson believe that the Warriors with a neat lineup will be stronger.

And this is also the origin of Mark Jackson's self-confidence. But in Henson's view, the Warriors who return to the regular lineup are not necessarily stronger. One big and four small is the main reason the Warriors can get 10 consecutive victories.

When the Warriors can't play a fast-paced offense and can't open up the shooting space, their firepower will be greatly reduced.

Attack the inside? Henson was not afraid of waiting for Duncan last season, but would he still be afraid of David Lee?

"In the past, I asked you to play more offensive offenses without the ball. Today, the plan remains the same. Others still run off the ball. But Paul, I need you to break through with the ball. As we all know, Stephen Curry is not a defense. Excellent guard. And Mark Jackson can only use the power of the system to make up for the shortcomings of Curry on the defensive end. This means that once you break through, the Warriors will have a lot of defenses. At that time, I hope to receive a pass from Paul. People who can seize the opportunity."

"As for the defensive end, it's only two points. Defend against Curry's pick and roll, prevent Klay Thompson's off-the-ball movement, and prevent David Lee's low attack." After Henson finished speaking, he smiled. "Well, it's three o'clock."

"Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha."

The atmosphere in the dressing room instantly relaxed a lot, Vogel smiled and shook his head. When he was the interim head coach during those three months, there was no way to relieve the tension before the game. And Henson can do it with just a little joke. These details may be one of the reasons why Henson was able to succeed.

"That's it, I believe that if you continue, your ears should be calloused. I know that the Warriors have won 10 consecutive victories. I also know that Mark Jackson was rude yesterday, and I didn't respond to it. The outside said. I'm afraid of the Warriors, um...whatever they like to think is good. Anyway, on the court, you will prove who is afraid of whom! 10 consecutive victories, last season we won 3 rounds of 10 The winning streak, do I have pride? Go on the court and let Mark Jackson pay for his pride!"

"Roar!"

After a loud roar, the players rushed out of the locker room one by one like old ladies grabbing discounted goods. The noisy and lively dressing room instantly quieted down, leaving only Henson, Vogel and Becky Harmon.

"Unbelievable, you were so calm before this kind of game started." Vogel smiled. In the past, in the face of this situation, Henson would definitely fight Mark Jackson to the end.

But this time, I have to say that Henson seems to have matured a lot.

"You can't believe it, An Jiali actually hired a yoga teacher for me. After doing yoga yesterday..."

"Do you think your mood has calmed down?" Becky Harmon snapped back.

"No, after doing yoga yesterday, I no longer have the energy to swear. I woke up today and found that I didn't seem to be so angry anymore. So, just forget it."

"Henson, what should we do if Mark Jackson suddenly plays a big or four elementary school?" After hearing Henson explain why he didn't attack Mark Jackson, Vogel asked another question related to the game.

"He won't. If he is willing to do that, the Warriors will not only be sixth in the Western Conference. The upper limit of the Warriors group is bigger than Mark Jackson thought!"

Shrugging, Henson strode out of the locker room. Scared? Do not make jokes!

Vogel was stunned. So, is the head coach important to a team? There is no doubt that it is extremely important.

The same group of people, brought to Henson and brought their own, the combat effectiveness is completely different.

For the same Warriors, Henson thought he could do better than Mark Jackson.

And immediately, Henson will use actual actions to prove his statement.
