The Basketball Court Swordsman

Pat Riley was sitting in the luxurious box, smiling. Watching that No. 3 show himself to his heart is Riley's happiest moment of the season.

Since Wade announced that this is his "last dance", every game of the Heat has actually attracted attention. Of course, people are not only concerned about the Heat's victory, but the countdown performance of that great guard.

On the court, Wade broke through J.J. Redick's defense after taking the screen. Although not as fast as lightning as before, his rhythm changes still caught Redick off guard.

In this way, the Heat went into the penalty area and then forced a layup under Joel Embiid's defense.

In the air, Wade dodges Embiid's big hand skillfully, then gently toss the ball to the basket.

Although in the past season, Wade's state was very average. But this year, in the final season, Wade's condition is very good.

This can be seen from the data, Wade averaged only 11.4 points per game last season. And this season, Wade averaged 15.0 points per game. Although he can't compare with him in his heyday, he is indeed playing well.

The layup in the confrontation, the basketball hit the board and refracted into the net. At the same time, the referee blew his whistle to signal Embiid to defend a foul.

The audience stood up and cheered, and the man finished a beautiful three-pointer.

"It's wonderful!" Pat Riley applauded in the box. Once, as a general manager, he did something beneficial to the team, but very impersonal.

That is to let Dwyane Wade go.

But nowadays, when the Heat are not under much pressure on performance and when he sees that Wade can play happily on the court, this old guy who has been cast aside by all Miami fans finds that he hasn't been so happy for a long time.

This time, there were not so many stakeholders, nor so many intrigues. Pat Riley, like Wade, is enjoying basketball.

To enjoy basketball, this has become a luxury for professional basketball players.

At this moment, Bird's good helper and the active general manager of the Heat, Andy Ellisberg, walked to the side of the silver-haired Riley with a look of horror. He is holding a cell phone in his hand, which is playing a live broadcast of another NBA game.

"Riley, you have to look at this stadium." Ellisberger's voice trembled.

"Well, I'm watching, Dwyane's performance is really wonderful." Bird smiled and waved his hand, not paying attention to his mobile phone screen.

"No, I'm not talking about the stadium below, I'm talking about the Bankers Life Arena!"

"Banker Life Arena!?" Hearing these words, Riley's smile suddenly disappeared. After all, the arena in Indianapolis once made him very painful.

Yes, if it weren't for the Pacers, the Heat's Big Three would be very successful. And Dwyane Wade can also get more championship rings.

"I don't want to watch the Pacers game. Our goal this season is not a championship. Whatever they do." Riley continued to cast his eyes down, he didn't want his good mood to be destroyed.

"No, this game is very special. The lineup you used to say...Henson Joe made him a reality!" Ellisberg handed the phone directly to Riley's eyes. Seeing that Ellisberg was not joking with himself, he took the phone and glanced at it.

At this point, the Pacers and Rockets game has reached the fourth quarter. The Rockets trailed by 15 points, and this result did not surprise Riley.

Henson Joe has a few kilograms, he knows too well. After all, the Heat lost the most to the Pacers.

Subsequently, Riley looked at the Pacers' lineup. Suddenly, he frowned.

"This..." Riley moved closer to the screen and took a closer look.

Antetokounmpo, George, Kuzma, Bogdanovic and Siakam! He was right, Henson sent a lineup with almost no position! Riley knew now why Ellisberg was so surprised.

Henson Joe turned Riley's fantasy of future basketball into reality!

"They...relied on this lineup to lead by 15 points!"

Riley was asking, and Wade used another beautiful mid-range shot to add two more points on the court. The fans cheered enthusiastically, and the cheers even burst into the luxurious boxes.

However, Riley was indifferent to things on the court at this time. His attention has long been shifted to Indianapolis.

"Yes, Henson Joe has been suppressing the Rockets with this lineup, making the Rockets' three-point shooting very low. Because no matter how the Rockets players change, they are almost always in the wrong position."

"What about Capella? Shouldn't he be upset on the inside?" Riley looked at Ellisberg eagerly. Although the concept of no position division on the basketball court was proposed by him, he was willing to accept Henry. The fact that Sen. Joe did all of this.

"No," Ellisberg shook his head, his answer disappointed Riley, "Capella didn't get any advantage on the inside!"

Mike D'Antoni stood on the sidelines anxiously, and it was easy to see from his expression that this guy was desperate about the situation.

However, just before the three quarters, he thought he was a "fighting guard", a great coach who could uncover Henson Joe's fig leaf. He will prove that "my grandma can win the championship with the Pacers" is correct.

However, at this time, he laughed at himself inwardly. I laughed at myself for being so arrogant, I dared to underestimate the basketball godfather of Indianapolis.

Henson only used one substitution to tear the Rockets' championship dream to pieces!

If the Rockets want to win a championship, they must find a way to contain the Pacers' ultimate lineup. Of course, the premise is that they have to pass the Warriors first...

"Antetokounmpo is in front of Harden. MVP James Harden last season defended very hard. However, his hard work is of no avail!"

As soon as Reggie Miller's voice fell, Antetokounmpo reached the inside with a crushing advantage. Seeing this situation, Capella's only option is to fill the protective frame.

Unfortunately, Antetokounmpo is not Westbrook's kind of sticky guy. Seeing Capela's defense, the Greeks skillfully assigned the ball to Siakam, who is also an international player.

The latter fired from the bottom corner to help the Pacers hit a three-pointer.

The Pacers have no idea how many goals of this kind have been scored. But there is no way. Remedial defense and non-remedial defense are dead. Of course, the Rockets are willing to play a less secure three-pointer. Unfortunately, today's Pacers' ultimate lineup did not miss the three-point line.

The three-pointer that the Rockets depend on for survival today has become a weapon for the Pacers to kill them.

"The Pacers scored another goal, 18 points difference. If the Rockets are stretched to 20 points by the Pacers, it would be too disappointing!"

"That's right, Mike D'Antoni should call a timeout now!"

Reggie Miller and Chris Webber both looked at D'Antoni on the sidelines, but he still stood there like a wood and did nothing.

That guy had been scared a long time ago.

On the other side, Henson sat firmly on the Diaoyutai. From the beginning of his coaching career, he has been committed to blurring the division of positions on the court. Of course, Henson's initial action was just to make Granger play a "small fight" like the four.

In the later period, Henson used "Death Defense" and "Death Five". At the same time, Al Horford also played the role of organizer during the Pacers period.

Therefore, Henson has been experimenting all the time. People say that Old Nelson is a "crazy scientist", and Henson is the kind of "scientist" who seeks innovation while maintaining stability.

The reason why he likes jackpot players like Stephenson and Tucker who can play multiple positions so much is to prepare for an extremely balanced lineup.

Today, Henson's attempts and research over the years have finally achieved results!

He looked at the ultimate lineup he had built with satisfaction, and appeared in front of the world without warning. Even Vogel and Becky Harmon were surprised, let alone the others.

Henson smiled, now, I really want to light a cigar...

"Beep~~~~"

Amid the cheers of the All Pacers fans, the confrontation that Reggie Miller called the "historical game" finally ended.

128 to 109, the Pacers scored 19 points at home, beating the Houston Rockets who were clamoring to end the championship before the game.

The Rockets were still beaten up with Paul and Anthony!

At the end of the game, reporters from the audience flocked to Henson, and other players, even last season's MVP James Harden, were not interested!

D'Antoni stood there blankly, as if he couldn't believe what he had just experienced.

Are the Rockets now a championship-level team? D'Antoni shook his head, he felt as if he had been beaten up.
