The Basketball Court Swordsman

Dwyane Wade, in Henson's view, he is the true soul of the Heat. Only if he stands on the court, the Miami Heat is complete.

However, another cruel fact is that this legendary defender who once had his meniscus removed in college is now plagued by injuries, resulting in a decline in state.

In the regular season this season, Wade only played 54 games. In other words, he spent a third of the season on the bench. During the regular season, Wade averaged just 19 points per game. It seems that the 19-point data seems to be good, but this is Wade's lowest average score since his rookie season.

After entering the playoffs, Wade's scoring average dropped to 17.8 points. 17.8 points, which seems to be a good statistic, but look at Wade's performance in previous years.

In the 09-10 playoffs, Wade averaged 33.2 points per game in the playoffs. In the 10-11 playoffs, Wade averaged 24.5 points per game. In the 11-12 playoffs, Wade still averaged 22.4 points per game. As a comparison, 17.8 points are simply not worth mentioning. Facing the Nets in the last Eastern Conference semifinals, Wade scored 20 points in only 2 of 5 games.

It is not difficult to see the traces of time left on Wade.

Therefore, although Wade is the heart of the Heat, he is one of the best second positions in the league. But in Henson's view, it is not difficult to limit Wade's performance in his twilight years. Especially when he has Paul George as a defender.

And Chris Bosh's increasingly "banalized" data, in Henson's view, he has long since retired from the "giant" ranks. Both Wade and James are players who need to attack with the ball to exert their power. Therefore, Bosh gets fewer and fewer mobile phones, and he becomes more "functional."

As an "anti-aircraft turret" that opens up space and hits the open three-pointer, Bosh is now more of an auxiliary player, and it is difficult to kill the game on his own.

Coupled with the mediocre role players of the Heat, Henson believes that the only trouble for the Heat is James!

Defending James has become the Pacers' most powerful means to defeat the Heat!

Defending James, this is something most teams can't imagine. Because sometimes, James just can't be searched.

But Henson wanted to kill the Heat and James defensively, but it wasn't a random idea. Because just one day before the start of the Eastern Conference Finals, the league officially announced the list of the best defensive team of the season. Once the list was announced, it caused heated discussions.

There is no doubt that it is because the Pacers once again refreshed the history of the league.

"In 1996, the thriving Chicago Bulls had three players selected for the best defensive team. As a result, that season, they won 72 wins and won the championship. But for the Pacers under Coach Henson, four were selected. The best defensive team!"

"The four were selected to the best defensive team, although not all of them were selected to the first team, but the Pacers' defensive ability is indeed terrible!"

"Jimmy Butler and Kawai Leonard were selected for the best defensive second team, Chris Paul and Paul George were selected for the best defensive team! A team has four people selected for the best defensive team, this is A terrible record of a person who has never been before, and it is very likely that there will be no one in the future!"

Only one minute after the league announced the news, the online media was full of discussions about the Pacers.

Mars, Henson's personal doctor, watched the news at home and couldn't help grinning cheerfully.

After three months of training, he miraculously returned to the court. After his return, he led the team to a record of 73 victories. And now, he has made it a reality for four people to be selected to the All-Defensive Team.

Mars believes that even after Henson retires, people will not forget the legendary 13-14 season of the Pacers.

It’s amazing that two people on a team can be selected for the best defensive team at the same time, and the Pacers also have two people selected for the best defensive team at the same time.

You know, Jimmy Butler has played a very limited number of starts this season, and basically only played steadily in the month of Leonard's injury. However, even so, he also impressed those tricky media.

"Such a result is not surprising. The Pacers averaged 90.7 points per game in the first two rounds, ranking first in the league, limiting opponents' field goal percentage to 40.5%, and also ranking first in the league. As for the Heat. The two statistics are 92.2 points and 45.8%, respectively, ranking third and ninth in the league. In the defensive competition, the Pacers are indeed better than the Heat. After all, they have four selected best Players on the defensive lineup."

"The Miami Heat's Eastern Conference finals will be very hard, harder than in the past two years! Although it seems that the Pacers' lineup has not changed much in recent years, the growth rate of their young people is amazing! When Coach Sen selected George, Leonard and Jimmy Butler, who would have thought that they could become the best defensive team-level players?"

"What's more terrifying is that in addition to these four guys, the Pacers have a lot of strong players. Horford and David West, Danny Green, Stephenson, and Ray Allen on the bench. Of course, Antetokounmpo and Sean Livingston are players who don't have much playing time, but they are always able to make a difference as soon as they play. LeBron James' road to the championship may be very difficult. "

Henson was sitting in his office reading the news. This was the first time he became a head coach and he was considered the more dominant side in the Eastern Conference Finals.

"Look, do you dare to believe it? One day, the media will actually feel that the incredible Heat Big Three will face challenges and difficulties." Henson smiled and wanted to reach out to touch the cigar. But I reached into the inner pocket of my clothes and realized that I hadn't put cigars in my pocket for a while.

"Yeah, after all, we haven't lost since the end of February until now. Now, no media dare to despise us. This is all your credit, Henson." Vogel also smiled, after all, as a Pacers coach A member of the team, he is also proud of the achievements of his team.

"This is the credit of all of us, Frank. Without you, I can't make such a result without you, a man who can't even move the ball. And the fact that four players were selected for the best defensive team also made us strategy The success rate has become even higher. In the Eastern Conference Finals, Leonard and Jimmy Butler take turns to target LeBron, and then George and Green to restrict Wade, I think the Heat will become very miserable."

Henson leaned back in his chair proudly. In the past, he had to use the power of the badge to fight the Heat. But now, he doesn't even need to do that.

"Yeah, then do you think we can solve the Heat in a few games this year?" Frank Vogel looked at Henson with interest. In the past few seasons, Henson would definitely say six to seven games. Heat. He has said this for the past two years.

But this year, Vogel heard a very incredible answer.

"Four games," the Chinese coach stretched out his four fingers. "If all goes well, we may be able to solve the Miami people in only four games this year. Our time is here, Frank. This season, no team can do it. Stop our iron shoes."

Vogel froze in place, sweeping the Heat's Big Three 4-0? This kind of thing, maybe only Henson can tell...
