The Basketball Court Swordsman
Chapter 466: : The Godfather is born
On March 29th, the eyes of basketball fans all over the world focused on the Bankers Life Arena in Indianapolis.
At this time, the opponents on the court were the Miami Heat and the Indiana Pacers who met in the Eastern Conference finals last season. The game has reached the final 3.5 seconds, and the Miami Heat are 1 point behind.
At this time, it's not just Spoelstra, not just LeBron James, not just Wade and Miami fans. It's basketball fans all over the world, all of them are frightened by the last 3.5 seconds.
Before the start of the game, as everyone expected, the Pacers easily solved the three teams of Wizards, Bulls and Cavaliers. So far, the defending champion has achieved the longest 20-game winning streak of the season, and has also scored 62 wins and 9 losses.
Therefore, this game between the Heat and the Pacers will directly determine whether the Pacers can successfully win 70 wins for two consecutive seasons. Unfortunately, in the final 3.5 seconds of the game, the Miami Heat fell behind by 1 point.
"For most fans in the league, this is a moment of life and death. If the magical LeBron James cannot kill the game in the last 3.5 seconds, then the pressure to prevent the Pacers from winning 70 will be lost. On the shoulders of the San Antonio Spurs! Of course, for me, this is a great moment to witness! Because the Pacers will likely become the only team in NBA history that has won 70+ games for two consecutive seasons. ! I confessed that I am extremely proud of it!"
When Reggie Miller spoke, the Heat’s last timeout was over. The camera shows LeBron James, the so-called first man in the league.
In this game, LeBron performed very well. Even if Henson used a combination of George, Jimmy Butler and Stephenson to take turns against him, he failed to really limit LeBron.
So far, James has scored a game-high 38 points and hit a terrible 57.6%.
It can be said that he really hit the league's first man level today.
But unfortunately, the two giants Wade and Bosh did not play out.
After one year old, Wade's knees have become more serious. This game only scored 15 points, which is a typical performance of Wade this season.
And Chris Bosh made only 3 of 11 shots today and only scored 8 points. Henson's defense is ineffective against James, does not mean that it is equally ineffective against others. Because of this, even when James scored almost 40 points, the Heat are still 1 point behind.
"Are you sure there is no problem putting all the troops on James?" Vogel was obviously a little nervous beside Henson.
"Relax, Frank. Wade and Bosh are not in good shape today. Even if the ball is delivered to them, they will not be able to make a key shot. We are in control of the game, Frank." Henson said. Waving his hand, Vogel is always habitually nervous. In his opinion, in the last 3.5 seconds, the Heat were just struggling.
Sure enough, after the kick-off, James was strictly prevented by George and Jimmy Butler. He tried to force the ball to break through by two points. After all, the Heat are only one point behind.
But unfortunately, Jimmy Butler used his tough body to stop the omnipotent James. Henson's team undoubtedly reminded everyone of one thing-LeBron was no longer omnipotent when he was in Bankers' Life Arena.
Seeing that the Pacers' defense had all contracted the penalty area, he had no chance. LeBron gave up the struggle and transferred the ball to Bosh, who was emptied!
At that moment, fans all over the world were speechless. Whether Bosh scores or not, it can be said that it will determine the direction of league history!
Even the fans are under so much pressure, how can Bosh's pressure be? What's more, today's "Dragon King" status has always been bad.
Before the red light on the backboard came on, Bosh made a successful shot. At that moment, Vogel felt as if his heart was about to stop suddenly. However, Henson, who had a real heart problem, just stood aside calmly.
It's a pity that Bosh's highly anticipated shot failed to hit, but knocked on the right side of the basket! The audience was quiet for a second, and then the whole Banker Life Arena suddenly cheered, and the fans cheered frantically!
"It's over, it's over, it's over! Chris Bosh missed the final lore. The Pacers won their 21st straight win since Henson returned and won their 63rd game of the season! Heat! Let alone regain the first place in the East, the team can't even stop the Pacers from winning 70! Great coach Henson, great Pacers. Every step they take now is to create greatness! "
After the game, Henson raised his arms and enjoyed the cheers from the scene. And this is already the most arrogant celebration since his return.
After this game, James' practice of "flipping the pot" at critical moments has been frantically complained by fans. Bosh's increasingly marginalized performance also disappointed the fans.
LeBron James' expression on the camera after the game was extremely disappointed: "We thought this season was a good opportunity for us to take the first place in the East, but the East is really not as simple as you think."
Of course, the fans have not given up, because after the Heat, there is also the San Antonio Spurs "defender" led by "Zhuge Weiqi".
Henson also admitted, "I won't feel that I have won this season before defeating the San Antonio Spurs."
So, the last day of March is the 31st. Also in the Banker’s Life Arena, the Spurs vs. Pacers game even broke the ratings of the Pacers game this season.
This time, I am afraid that even Adam Xiao Hua will love the Pacers very much. Because Henson, the economic benefit that this guy has brought to the league since he paid, is visible to the naked eye!
"I don't care what prevents the Pacers from winning 70. I have only one purpose here, to lead the team to win!" Before the game, Popovich expressed his attitude.
The Spurs really need to win now, because the second Thunder in the West is only one win away from them. If you can get the first place in the Western Conference, the Spurs' opponent in the first round will most likely be the Mavericks. And if it falls to second place in the West, the Spurs' first opponent is likely to become the Grizzlies or Warriors.
Compared to the Grizzlies and the Warriors, playing the Mavericks will undoubtedly be more secure. Therefore, reporters believe that Popovich and the Spurs will definitely do their best even for their own sake.
Facts have proved that the two sides did a real fight today. It is really not an exaggeration to say that this game is a preview of the finals.
Popovich and Henson are both very cautious. The two coaches work step by step, focusing on defense and playing very conservatively.
However, in the last minute and thirty seconds of the game, Henson took out his death five without warning! At this time, Duncan was unable to use his height advantage to score goals efficiently due to physical reasons.
In this way, after almost the entire game with Henson, Popovich was completely defeated in the last minute and a half and was beaten by the Pacers 8-2. The power of the five small deaths once again amazed people.
"Maybe from today, I will also seriously consider how to play a small lineup." After the game, Popovich smiled bitterly and shook his head.
Yes, I lost. After the Miami Heat, the San Antonio Spurs, No. 1 in the West, also lost to Henson! 98 to 92, Henson ended Popovich with five deaths and also ended the Spurs. At the same time, it also ended the beautiful fantasy of everyone in the entire league!
So far, the Pacers have won 22 consecutive victories for the second consecutive season! And with a record of 64 wins and 9 losses, he entered the final of the regular season in less than a month!
After the game, Henson rushed into the court and hugged his players. One month and twelve days after returning to the game, Henson Joe, the coach who has always been arrogant, finally released his emotions.
At that time, a word from Reggie Miller made a summary for the entire season.
"From now on, no one can stop Henson and his Pacers. Once again, they have become legends!"
That's right, after defeating the Heat and Spurs in a row. Now, no one believes that Henson and his Pacers can be defeated.
Bird stood up in the luxury box to applaud Henson's actions, although he himself failed to become a basketball godfather like Auerbach.
A new generation of basketball godfather is about to be born in this small cornfield...
