The Basketball Court Swordsman

After Henson held a private party at home and invited the players to participate, it was revealed that Henson was greeted with almost overwhelming curses. Even Bird's private mailbox was filled with angry fans. The content of the letter was summed up in one sentence: "Get out of Henson Joe, that idiot who is not doing business!"

However, when the Pacers humiliated the Celtics by 13 points at home, the wind reviews instantly reversed. Experts from all walks of life are full of praise for Henson's approach, and Pacers fans have also shouted that they love Coach Henson and love Coach Henson's team.

"It's actually an extremely clever way to help the players relax under tremendous pressure. Coach Henson's sword went slant and left the old Greens giants stranded in Indianapolis!"

"How did the smart Phil Jackson manage Dennis Rodman? Let him gamble, let him rush into the arms of women, don't interfere with him. Because only in this way, Rodman will stand obediently the next day. On the training ground and beating opponents in the game. I must say that Coach Henson’s approach is similar to the great Zen Master."

"I don't care whether Coach Henson has a party or not. The only thing I can verify is whether he can bring victory to the Pacers. The answer is very positive. Not only can he win, but he can also win very beautifully!"

Henson leaned on the sofa and hugged An Jiali, who was leaning in his arms. The articles praised him made Henson feel uncomfortable. To be honest, the media has blown him too much.

Henson thinks he does have those methods, but he is not on par with Phil Jackson, who wears a championship ring.

But this is the change that victory brings to life. It only takes one game to win, and everyone who hates you will fall in love with you again. Those who pointed to your nose and yelled at you the day before will immediately hold your thigh and praise you for your deeds.

Very ironic and very realistic. But this is competitive sports, and victory is the essence of competitive sports.

Only fools will be immersed in the compliments of the media. The media can save a person, and naturally it can also destroy it. Henson quickly threw away the newspaper in his hand, and then kissed An Jiali goodbye.

He must go to work in the Conseco Arena, he doesn't want to be a fool.

The victory over the Celtics may have won the Pacers' limelight for a while. But looking at the whole season, such a victory is far from enough.

On the last day of 2010, the Pacers are about to usher in their second opponent in a back-to-back fight, currently 8 wins and 22 losses, the Washington Wizards ranked many in the East.

Even if the players have just defeated the powerful Celtics, even if the Wizards' record is so unbearable. But after Henson arrived at the training ground, he still took the training seriously and scolded the players who tried to make jokes during the training.

Henson doesn't want to let the players' nerves relax so quickly, he wants to prevent the phenomenon of underestimating the enemy.

Henson's uncertain mood made the players unclear. But this did not disgust the players, but made the boys more in awe of Henson.

You'd better not mess with that coach and do what you need to do. Because if you are fooling around, you don't even know whether it will be Henson's smile or a roar next second.

The spirits of the players tightened, and the specific manifestation on the court is that the talent of the Washington Wizards is not enough.

Talent, Henson thinks this is the key word of the Washington Wizards and the team's most terrifying weapon. As long as you relax a little, the awe-inspiring Washington Wizards will tear you to pieces. The reason why the Memphis Grizzlies, known for their defenses, capsized in the Washington gutter in the last game is because of this.

John Wall, one of the most talented guards in the league, this champion is definitely capable of becoming a superstar-like backcourt player.

Nick Young, a talented shooting guard who has excellent scoring ability but doesn't understand what "shot selection" is.

JaVale McGee, a coveted big man with physical talent, but rarely uses his brain to understand basketball.

The Wizards exudes a taste of talent, which makes Henson a little envious. If he can have a guard like Wall, if he can have a center like McGee who can run and jump... But Henson did not envy him for long, because his disciplined youth army soon The Wizards paid the price.

The Wizards’ defense is full of loopholes, and Nick Young’s strikes are in a mess. McGee seems to never find the best defensive position, and frequently fouls.

John Wall alone took the lead, scoring 25 points with a 66% shooting rate and sending 4 assists, allowing Holiday to understand that he is not the best young guard in the league.

But even so, the Pacers still defeated the visiting Washington people 98 to 86. The reason is simple. They play more like a team and are more stable.

Under Henson, the Pacers didn't have Nick Young who made 2 of 12 shots, McGee who could never find his position, and they didn't have a bench of 1 of 15 shots. Some just scored in double figures again with 5 people and the team hit rate as high as 56%.

Granger and Holiday each scored 18 points, Horford 17 points, and George, who was starlight, scored 13 points in 18 minutes, and tough guy Matthews also scored 11 points steadily.

"This result is not surprising. My players are good enough to win this game." After the game, when the reporters were shot, Henson seemed to have changed from yesterday's stern coach to that player. A kind and gracious coach.

Of course, this game Henson also saw the Chinese forward Yi Jianlian, who was waiting for the game at the end of the Wizards bench, but only got some clearance time in the last two minutes. Yi Jianlian cannot be trusted in other teams, but maybe he can play some usefulness under his own...

Since the Wizards began, the Pacers have once again embarked on a winning streak on the highway.

After the time entered 2011, Henson's youth army was still advancing. They disturbed the East Coast fans' New Year's holiday in New York. Daniel Granger led by example and scored a large double-double of 25 points and 17 rebounds at Madison Square Garden. Knicks Italian forward Danilo Gallina Lee was beaten to a blank face.

A day later, the Pacers fought back to back against the Wizards. Although this time the battlefield was moved to Washington, although the Pacers are away back to back. However, relying on Paul George's best sixth-man performance, the Pacers still retreated from Washington, DC, 106 to 102.

Although on January 7, the old San Antonio Spurs succeeded in revenge at home, relying on the Argentine's best performance of a single season with 25 points to defeat Henson by 3 points. But after returning to Indianapolis the next day, the Pacers once again beat the Eagles and told fans all over the world: "We are still strong!"

To apply Popovich’s victory in the game on January 7th, he commented on Henson: "He has made the Pacers an extremely aggressive army. Don’t imagine that you can walk easily. The team has won!"

There is no doubt that this is the feeling that Henson's Pacers currently bring to the league.

Perhaps this sudden rise of the youth army will not threaten the major championships, but they also have the strength to make you capsize.

The time when the Pacers were a big belly team has passed, and the corn yellow has begun to wreak havoc in the league.

After defeating the Eagles, the Pacers ranked fourth in the Eastern Conference with 21 wins and 12 losses, second only to the Celtics, Bulls and the Heat with the Big Three. The dramatic thing is that the Orlando Magic, which once paid Henson a $15,000 fine, was firmly placed in fifth place by the Pacers!

After the game with the Hawks, Henson looked in a good mood and even took the initiative to joke with the players in the locker room.

Everyone was overjoyed. After all, the team's 7 wins and 5 victories after Christmas was indeed quite proud.

But Henson is so happy, but not only because he won the game. Just after the game with the Eagles, Henson had a few words before his eyes—unlocking achievement: team morale reached 90!

What made Henson even more delighted was that he saw the enhanced potential level 2 badge among several alternative rewards!

Henson looked at George in the locker room, and then remembered Leonard, who was currently fighting in the NCAA...Perhaps next season, the Pacers will be more than just a spoiler.

Henson discovered for the first time that his ambitions were so great.
