The Basketball Court Swordsman

Mike D'Antoni was quite proud, because he actually suppressed the defending champion in both the scene and the score. In his opinion, the two guys Henson Joe and Steve Cole were just lucky. After all, the Warriors and Pacers lineup is there.

Fans ridiculed more than once, "My grandmother coaches the Warriors and Pacers to win the championship." D'Antoni believes in this.

Now that the Pacers do not have Paul, they can't fight a tough battle right away. There is no doubt that this makes D'Antoni very refreshing. He is finally about to expose the true level of an incompetent head coach. Can this not make people happy?

This guy already regards himself as a counterfeit guard. Today he will deal with Henson first, and next time he will "debunk" the guy Cole.

Therefore, in an interview on the sidelines after the end of the first quarter, D'Antoni mustache is also very confident.

"We will continue to suppress in the second quarter. Even if we are ahead in the first quarter, we can still do better."

Many people think that the head coach of the championship team is insignificant. But in fact, whether it is Henson or Cole, they have their own uniqueness.

Henson acknowledged Cole's ability. Although the Warriors lineup is abnormal, it is impossible for the Warriors to be unmatched in the West for so many years without Cole. His rotation, his employment and strategy are all at the master level.

Because of this, Henson was able to win the Warriors twice. Because he never underestimated his opponent.

And D'Antoni made this mistake, he underestimated Henson.

"The second quarter is about to begin. The Rockets have a lot of firepower. They didn't let the Pacers lead by even a second in the first quarter. Huh? Coach Henson changed? And, there are still three people!?"

Webber next to Reggie Miller was a little surprised. In the second quarter, Henson changed three starts in one breath, which was very bold. But even more daring is his replacement.

"Except for Antetokounmpo and George, Henson replaced three starters in one go. He may want to change the situation, but this approach is too risky! Even the main players can't contain the Rockets, Henson thought Can the problem be solved by changing the bench?"

At this time, not only Weber, but also many other commentators who did not understand Henson's approach.

But Henson did this not to make people understand, but to win.

At this time, there is no player on the Pacers who is less than 2 meters tall. With George, Bogdanovic, Kuzma, Siakam and Antetokounmpo, you can't even tell who is the defender and who is the forward.

Reggie Miller swallowed. Isn't this the ultimate lineup that Pat Riley said! ?

The Pacers' starting lineup just now is "close" to the ultimate lineup that Pat Riley said. Now, Reggie Miller can remove the word "close". Henson is now playing an ultimate lineup!

Pat Riley, the general manager of the Heat and one of the greatest coaches in the NBA, once said: "The players on the basketball court in the future are all over 2 meters tall. They all have the ability to change defenses and hold the ball infinitely. Speed ​​of conversion".

When he coached the "showtime" Lakers led by "Magic" Johnson, he actually fits this set of ideas very well, playing gorgeous but tough.

But his prediction was so advanced that people did not take it seriously.

And now, just today, the lineup that Pat Riley said appeared.

George 2 meters 06, Siakam 2 meters 03, Kuzma 2 meters 06, Bojan 2 meters 03, Antetokounmpo 2 meters 11. There is no difference between guards, forwards and centers, these five people are very balanced.

D'Antoni didn't take this lineup too seriously at this time. He believed that the Pacers' offense without guards would be messy. And the Pacers without inside lanes will be deducted by Capella.

However, the field performance of this lineup is very different from what D'Antoni expected.

First of all, Antetokounmpo has taken on the responsibility of the point guard well. His organization is not exquisite, but at least it is not messy.

Five people move flexibly and cover each other. On the other hand, the Rockets felt that they were trying to prevent misalignment.

In the end, after a series of transmissions, the basketball was sent to Bogdanovic. At this time, his former teammate Paul was defending him.

Paul knew how capable this guy called "Little Peja" was, so he hurriedly got close to Bogdanovic, but Paul's height was still too short for the Croatian.

Boyan takes the shot calmly, and Paul's interference is better than nothing for him. If Bogdanovic chooses to break through, Paul can also use some tricks to interfere with the opponent. But in this league nowadays, defensive players dare not easily attack shooters.

Speaking of it, this atmosphere was brought out by Harden... But now, the Rockets have become the loser.

"brush!"

A sweet voice hit Henson's ears, and he sat back on the bench with satisfaction. Both Becky Harmon and McMillan looked at Henson with incredible eyes. They couldn't believe that Henson actually moved this undeveloped lineup to the basketball court!

"The goal is scored, but the defense of this lineup has not been tested yet." Webber swallowed. He didn't believe that this lineup, which only existed in Pat Riley's imagination, actually appeared.

Basketball in the future may no longer be in the future.

The Rockets' offense is still the same, but no matter how Harden and Paul switch, they will have to face defenders who are taller than themselves.

In the end, Harden got up against Antetokounmpo by accident. He wanted to attack on his own, but found that Capela had a better chance. After all, he is facing Siakam.

But is Capella really bigger than Siakam? No, this is just people's impression. Capela is 2.08 meters away, but Siakam is only a few centimeters shorter than Capela.

Therefore, in the face of Harden's hanging pass, Siakam waited for the opportunity and jumped high, stupefied to intercept the ball!

Henson smiled, Capela is not a traditional center, the advantage is not that big. If the ball is hanged to Yao Ming, do you think Siakam can still grab it?

In other words, the Rockets do not necessarily have an advantage inside!

After the steal, it was a fast break across the board. Five players over 2 meters in height rushed to the frontcourt, and the Rockets didn't know how to place them.

Because no matter who they are staring at, it seems to be misplaced and not appropriate. Therefore, no one knows who he should guard against, so he can only run around.

While the Rockets' defense was still hesitating, Siakam quickly hit the ball to Kuzma in the corner. Kuzma hit the knife and hit a three-pointer.

Until Kuzma scored, the Rockets players looked at each other. They still don't know who was responsible for the loss.

"The Rockets' defense is a little dazed because they are not in the right position! Is Kuzma a guard or a forward? This may only be known by Coach Henson." Miller smiled, Henson is really a ghost!

"Come here, let me arrange it!" Paul also knew that the situation was not right, so he arranged a matchup for everyone while he was serving the bottom line. After all, the second quarter of the game has just begun, and D'Antoni cannot call a timeout now.

Besides, D'Antoni's strength is not defense. Even if he is willing to call a timeout, he may not be able to arrange the matter clearly. This can be seen from D'Antoni's now awkward expression.

Therefore, now we can only rely on Paul as the coach on the field to stabilize the situation.

The Rockets went from leading by 5 points to 1 point behind in an instant, and Harden needed to shoulder heavy responsibilities.

He called for cover and wanted a dislocation. But after a change, it was changed to Siakam

If it's a typical small play, Harden can play the opponent to death with rhythm changes. But does Siakam say he is small or big? Harden didn't know, so he could only follow the steps.

He retreated very quickly, but Siakam's pace was not slow. He raised his arms high and didn't force him to foul Harden.

But even so, Harden was greatly disturbed. After all, that's a 2m22 wingspan!

"Boom!"

The basketball knocked to the hoop with a crisp sound. Even Harden can't hit the interference shot every time.

Antetokounmpo received the rebounds, in terms of height, he seems to be more like a center than Capella.

The Rockets quickly blocked the Pacers' passing route and prevented them from playing fast. Because at this time last season, Antetokounmpo will definitely look for Paul first.

But this year, the Greeks don’t have to look for anyone. He pushes it personally, which is equivalent to a quick push after a center grabs a rebound. This shows how smooth the offensive and defensive transition is. In NBA history, few teams can play this kind of tactics.

In the end, Antetokounmpo helped Siakam, who cut inside, made a layup. Although James Ennis interfered with the jump, but Siakam's wingspan made Ennis unmatched by that basketball.

"Unexpectedly, with a simple substitution, Coach Henson actually made a historic moment! Yes, I call it a historic moment. Because Coach Henson turned the future of basketball into modern basketball! He pioneered A genre that only existed in the imagination before, his actions were too advanced!"

D'Antoni looked left and right, his eyes a little confused. He thought that people like Henson were just lucky, but in fact they had no real ability.

However, the Chinese coach made a simple substitution and misfired his moustache.

Although the Rockets are only behind by 3 points, D'Antoni is panicked.

Because he found that he didn't know what to do! If you don't know what to do, sooner or later the difference will be opened!

It is really difficult to threaten the status of the defending champion...
