The Basketball Court Swordsman

In the first half, the defending champion had to face two problems.

One is the foul problem. Tonight, the referee's whistle is obviously biased towards the Wizards. Whether it is offensive or defensive, the referee's whistle is very tight for the Pacers. This made the fierce and brutal Pacers in the first two games a little uncomfortable. Horford had to take a break because of the excessive number of fouls, and had to replace Anderson and Yi Jianlian in advance. ?

But now Anderson's state is not as good as it was then, and Yi Jianlian's ability to protect the frame is not so strong. There is no doubt that without Horford, the Pacers' power on the defensive end has been reduced by at least two notches.

?? And the second problem facing the Pacers tonight is that the opponent's shooting feel is very good. After the Wizards gained confidence, when their shots became decisive, Henson still saw the Wizards. Offensive talent.

Whether it's Wall and Bill with double shots in the backcourt, Ariza or even their bench space power forward Drew Gooden, they have all shot good shooting percentages.

But Henson does not think that the Pacers are in desperation. After all, even in such a situation that all aspects are disadvantageous to themselves, the Pacers are about to end with a difference of only 4 points, which is enough to show the gap between the overall strength of the two sides. . ?

Henson will not allow his team to be defeated by a team with such a big difference in strength. Even if Adam Xiaohua intervened, Henson would not allow it!

During the intermission, Henson first naturally emphasized that the players must adjust their mentality when the referee's penalty is unfavorable. And shift the team's offensive focus, reduce physical contact on the offensive end, slow down the offensive rhythm, and increase the offensive success rate. ?

???????? "We really have to face the test, even if the time and place are right and the people are not on our side, we still have to win the game. If the offensive end cannot break through, we will solve the problem with shooting. At the same time, be cautious. And carefulness is also a must, don’t make mistakes, hit the success rate! Since the referees do not welcome us, then we have to let them have no handle to catch! Slow down the rhythm and increase the success rate. Believe me, there is only one result in this game, then The total score will become 3 to 0!"

Henson wanted to see whether Xiao Hua, the president of the league, could control the game, or his head coach could control the game more!

Fifteen minutes later, the third quarter of the two sides began.

In the first five minutes, the two teams played calmly, back and forth. The Pacers’ offense was a lot more cautious. After slowing down the pace, they continued to transfer and channel the ball, just to find the most suitable space for shooting.

On the Wizards side, with the help of the power of the "whistle" and Whitman's exciting speech in the locker room during the intermission, the team still maintained a good state.

So five minutes later, although the point difference was not widened, the Pacers still seemed to be suppressed.

?????? "It seems that the effect of increasing the number of shots is not very good. We can't make an offensive climax. Should we let the players attack? Try to make a foul?" Vogel sitting next to Leon saw the court The situation has not improved at all, can't help but say to Henson. ?

???????? "No, bear with me. It’s still early in the game, buddy, believe in their performance, once you have formulated your tactical strategy, don’t change it lightly. Remember Vogel, sometimes, It takes a little bit of persistence to achieve results." Henson rejected Carlisle's suggestion and insisted on the current style of play. ?

???????? The game progressed to the 9th minute of the third quarter. With Wall's assist in the offensive, Ariza made a layup, and the Wizards opened the point difference to 6 points. 74 to 68, Henson called a short timeout of 20 seconds.

"It was interrupted again. It seems that the Pacers have not found the form they should have today. They were confused because of offensive fouls in the first half of the game, and the game was about to enter the fourth quarter. The Pacers have not changed the situation at all. I don’t think Coach Henson can change the situation with a short 20-second timeout."

In the commentary, the commentators shook their heads. The league wants you to lose, no matter how hard you struggle, it is useless. ?

? But in fact, this time the suspension of Henson did not "struggle" at all. He did not make any tactical adjustments, but let the players stick to the current style of play. He could see that the Pacers' shooting has become more and more popular.

Subsequently, Henson also replaced Leonard with Ray Allen. Green replaced West. On the court, only Chris Anderson was left with an inside guard.

Since it's so easy to be fouled on the defensive end, Henson simply let go and attack the Wizards! ?

When the timeout was over, everyone was stunned, "Is Henson Joe crazy? He actually picked up Ray Allen, who had drastically reduced his playing time this season, and then pushed George into the fourth position! The Wizards sit on Nei Nei and Gortat to play a big or four elementary school, isn't Henson looking for death?"

The fans in Washington laughed, and even Randy Whitman thought that Henson had made a mistake. However, when the game really started, people realized that there were no mistakes. Henson Joe may make a mistake, but he can never make a mistake in the playoffs!

The Pacers hit a three-pointer for the first attack after returning from the timeout. Because after George topped the fourth position, the Brazilian Nee could not keep up with George. He threw off the Brazilian with a few beautiful back runs, and then received a three-pointer from Paul!

Subsequently, Whitman naturally asked Nei Nei to hit the restricted area. Indeed, both in tonnage and strength, Nei Nei is more dominant than George.

But just when he used his back to push to the basket, "Birdman" Anderson's defense also happened to arrive.

Nei. Under the interference of two people, the hooks were inaccurate. Nowadays, it is not so easy to play the inside. After all, not every center is like O'Neal. Nei Nei has already passed his peak period, Henson believes that even if the Brazilian plays a misplaced position, he cannot gain much advantage.

Because of this, he dared to put a large and four small lineup on the court. Because he believed that with Nei Nei and Gortat, he could not kill the game.

Anderson's athletic ability is indeed much worse than before, and the second take-off speed is not as fast as before. Therefore, after interfering with the Brazilian's hook, Anderson could not quickly take off twice to get the rebounds in his pocket.

But he still tried his best to fly the ball out and let his teammates fight for the rebound. This is Chris Anderson. Even if his ability is not as good as before, he is always full of passion as long as he plays.

In the end, "Desperate Saburo" Danny Green got the rebound, he quickly handed the ball to Paul, while George advanced empty-handed to participate in the fast break.

The Wizards' defensive attention was attracted by George, and Paul's eyes were fixed on George. But together, people realized that the ball didn't fly in George's direction at all.

When people reacted, Ray Allen had finished the shot.

As one of the greatest shooters in this league, as an experienced and calm veteran. Even if a player like Ray Allen doesn't play brilliantly throughout the season, you can't let your guard down on him. Because he will always perform the deadliest blow at the deadliest moment.

For example, now this shot!

"brush!"

The basketball made a steady hit, and Ray Allen reminded everyone on the court that he was still one of the most terrifying killers in the world.

The Pacers made two consecutive three-pointers and they evened the score in an instant.

"Okay, the situation is opened." Henson waved a full fist off the court. He has been waiting for the Pacers' three-point rain. ?Now it seems that it's almost time to rain.

When George interrupted the defense to pass Wall to Nee, the Pacers launched a counterattack. This kind of steals on the passing route, even if the referee wants to find fault, there is no reason.

This time it was Ray Allen again. He was in place early and received the basketball, which is an unsolvable counterattack position for the Wizards defender. ?

When the Wizards replay players pounced on defense, Ray Allen passed the ball to George who cut inside. At this time, Nene and Gortat have not had time to return to the penalty area. How can Ariza alone stop the top scorer of the 73-win team?

George directly forced a layup under Ariza's strong interference, 8-0. A mere 20-second timeout allowed the Pacers to make a small 8-0 climax and surpassed the score in one fell swoop!

A clean three-pointer, a steal that blocked the pass, and a lightning fast break, Henson undoubtedly made everyone aware of it.

Only Henson can control the Pacers game. The referee and Xiao Hua? Stand aside!

At this point, the Pacers have regained the lead. Henson's seemingly suicidal lineup has left the Wizards who took the initiative to play three quarters at a disadvantage.

Watching the Pacers players high-fiving each other to celebrate the goal, Adam Xiao Hua turned off the TV angrily.

He wasn't angry with Henson, but angry with wizards. The league has helped them to this point, but they still have no choice but to take the Pacers.

Who can blame this? I can only blame the Wizards for not keeping up.

At the same time, Xiao Hua also found out. This guy Henson Joe has become more and more uncontrollable.

Once the league wants to manipulate the game, it rarely misses. But Henson and his Pacers made Xiao Hua doubt the dominance of the alliance.

He didn't plan to challenge Henson's authority anymore, because Xiao Hua found that the control ability of this guy Henson Joe was really terrifying.

It's no wonder that after this return, it has not yet failed. If even the president of the league can't change the fate of the Wizards, then who else can do it?

Admit it, the NBA league in the past few years will be doomed to be an era dominated by Henson Joe.
