The Basketball Court Swordsman

The Philadelphia 76ers became the first person to eat crabs in March.

On March 10, Wachovia Center Arena. More than 20,000 fans were cheering and Jimmy Butler yelled and celebrated wildly on the court.

Finally, he finally won the Pacers once.

"It's over, the game is over! The 76ers persisted to the end, they kept their weak 3-point advantage to the end! They won, they interrupted the Pacers' 17-game winning streak and became the fifth in the league this season. A team that can defeat the defending champion! See how excited Jimmy Butler is, and you know how important the victory of this game is to them!"

In the stands, Mike Brin had to increase the volume to ensure that the fans in front of the TV could hear his voice. The scene is too noisy, this battle is like the 76ers won the ordinary regular season, but raised the O'Brien Cup!

No wonder, the 76ers and the Pacers before this season have been suppressed by the opponent. Now, they finally defeated this powerful enemy. This also means that they have seized the hope of defeating the Pacers in the playoffs.

For Jimmy Butler, this game is even more special. After so many years, he felt that he finally rushed out of Henson's shadow.

He used his actual actions to prove that he could be alone without the Chinese coach.

After shooting the ecstatic 76ers players, the reporters naturally focused their shots on Henson, whose 17-game winning streak was ended.

However, Henson did not seem to be angry. He just looked anxious and hurriedly pushed the reporter aside and walked into the player's tunnel, without accepting any interview.

"It seems that Coach Henson is very dissatisfied with the loss of this game?" Mike Brin saw that Henson had disappeared from the court, feeling a little strange.

The 76ers played really well in this game, Embiid scored 35 points and 11 rebounds, a shame. New 76ers Tobias Harris also had 16 points and 8 rebounds. The excellent performance of these two guys is a major reason why the Pacers will lose.

But even so, Henson should not be so angry. After all, even if the ball is lost, the Pacers still have 59 wins and 5 losses.

In the first three games in March, the Pacers defeated the Magic, Bulls and Bucks respectively, winning 17 consecutive games. Therefore, their record is still outstanding. With only one month left in the regular season, Henson still has a great chance of winning 70.

Moreover, the Pacers' performance today is not bad. It's just that the 76ers finally solved their lack of space.

But if you think about it carefully, Henson didn't seem to be angry just like that. What is that guy anxious about?

Of course Henson was not angry, because he had no intention of being angry.

After returning to the locker room, Henson immediately called An Jiali. At this time, his wife is in the hospital. His daughter, who has been in the hospital for two days, has been in the hospital because of her high fever.

In fact, Henson only arrived at the arena half an hour before the game. In order to take care of his daughter for a while, Henson did not go with the team, but bought a separate ticket to Philadelphia.

Therefore, the training before the game, including the formulation of the game plan, is not Henson's own hands. Before the game, Henson could not study the 76ers game video in the hospital.

Today, the Pacers still beat the 76ers the old way. But after the Sixers brought in Tobias Harris, their ability to open space was greatly improved. Therefore, the old method is no longer applicable. It's not surprising that the Pacers will lose today.

In the absence of any targeted settings, only lost the 76ers by 3 points. In fact, this reflects the Pacers' good championship team background.

After hearing An Jiali on the phone that the child was okay, Henson's hanging heart finally settled down.

In today's game, Henson has no way to invest 100%. He is full of Emily, An Jiali who takes care of his children

So in terms of on-the-spot reaction, Henson did not do as well today as before.

The 76ers can win, in addition to their own strength, there are actually many other factors that affect it.

After the game, Henson and Becky Harmon gave a few words and flew to Indianapolis in advance. An Jiali worked hard to guard the child alone, but Henson didn't want to disappear at a critical moment.

In order not to disappear in front of his family, it means that he must disappear in front of reporters.

So at the press conference after the game, the reporters discovered that Becky Harmon replaced Henson in the press conference tonight. Without Henson's press conference, there is no soul. The reporters had some questions, but now they don't know who to ask.

Becky Harmon faced reporters' questions and only replied, "Coach Henson was unable to attend the press conference due to physical reasons."

Sure enough, "physical reasons" are simply a universal excuse for every coach.

Henson was called by the nurse. After arriving at the hospital in the middle of the night yesterday, he stayed with his daughter and fell asleep at some point.

"Don't worry, Mr. Henson. You have a bad heart. I suggest you go home and have a good rest. Emily's fever subsided last night, and she is fine. Just be careful in the future and don't let her catch colds again. It's fine."

The nurse smiled at Henson, and her words made the 40-year-old man feel much better.

Due to the needs of the game, Henson couldn't always accompany his daughter. So every time Emily gets sick, Henson will especially blame herself. Because he always believed that he did not fulfill his father's responsibilities. I put all my energy on the team, so I didn't take care of Emily.

Every child is the darling of his parents, and it is normal for Henson to think like this.

So as long as Emily has something wrong, he would like to be by his side every day.

Two days ago, Henson was still very worried. The fact that a child has a fever can be big or small, and poor control may lead to great hidden dangers. Yao Ming had a fever in his left ear.

But if he had just got a nurse, Henson was relieved a lot. Seeing that Emily hadn't woke up yet, he fiddled with the phone for a while.

But then I discovered that the loss of yesterday's game seemed to have a much greater impact than he thought.

"Successful reinforcement? The 76ers won against the Pacers for the first time after reinforcement!"

"ESPN commentator: It turns out that the Pacers are not invincible as long as they can match their strength."

"Losing to the 76ers was just a fuse. Afterwards, consecutive encounters with the Western Conference team will most likely ruin the Pacers' 70-win dream."

Once again, the media fell into trouble after Henson lost. Those who know, know that Henson didn't concentrate on preparing for the game because of the child. But people who don't know, they only see the result of Pacers losing.

Although the evaluation of the media is somewhat biased, it is not all nonsense. For example, the next schedule is indeed very challenging for the Pacers. If you are not careful, the 70 wins dream is likely to be shattered.

Henson thought, then called up the schedule to take a look. On the dates in the second half of March, Henson drew red circles densely.

In the next game, March 12, the Pacers will play away against the New York Knicks. After this game, almost every next game is a tough battle for the Pacers.

On March 14, the Pacers will face the Oklahoma City Thunder. On March 16, the Pacers will go far to the Denver Plateau and fight a battle with the Nuggets, which are now number one in the West.

On March 18 and 19, the Pacers had a round of back-to-back. The opponents are the Trail Blazers, who have beaten the Pacers once this season, and the Los Angeles Clippers, who are now playing well with tenacity.

After the back-to-back, they will face the Warriors on the 21st, and on the 24th and 27th, they will have to fight the Nuggets and Thunder again.

After the 27th, the Western Conference was finally over. But on the 29th, the Boston Celtics, the Eastern Conference team, were equally uncomfortable.

From the 14th to the 29th, 15 days, half a month, 8 games. No one is easy for the walkers. As long as one step is not taken in these 8 games, the hope of 70 wins will become extremely slim.

This shows that it is not unreasonable for the media to think that the walkers are more fortunate.

"It's tricky, tricky." Henson shook his head and stroked his daughter's little cheek lightly.

Seeing her sound asleep, Henson felt his heart melt. As long as she and An Jiali are good, Henson is not afraid of anything.

He was embarrassed when he played the 76ers yesterday, and Henson promised that he would never show up again!

So he called his old partner Stephen Silas. Now that his daughter is cured, Henson can wholeheartedly reconnect the victories.

"Stephen, prepare me the video of all the remaining opponents in March. Um, yes, all. It's the last month, do you have any reservations?"

The Chinese coach licked his dry lips. It was time to put all his energy back on work.
