The Basketball Court Swordsman

Chapter 182: :arduous task

"Lin mad", the Americans even created such a term specifically for the performance of that Chinese player. At this time Henson was flipping through the news about Jeremy Lin, or a better name-Jeremy Lin.

In February, when this matter was hottest, Henson was busy beating back to back. After playing back-to-back, Henson was busy with the All-Star Weekend. So this legendary story that shook the basketball circle all over the world has no effect on Henson.

But now looking back at Jeremy Lin's performance, Henson really found it a little weird.

As a Chinese with yellow skin, Henson knew very well what their situation was in the American basketball circle. Thinking about how Posey and O'Brien treated him back then, Henson didn't dare to think about how the Knicks teammates would treat Jeremy Lin. Because the competition between players is far more intense than the competition between coaches.

However, it was such an unknown person who graduated from Harvard, lost the draft, was dismissed by multiple teams, and sat on the Knicks bench for most of the season, but seized an opportunity to make his name go down in history.

Henson didn't have time to study Jeremy Lin's magical performance in those seven games. After all, the opponents of the Pacers are not just a Knicks team. But only through an interview with Kobe, Henson can know how amazing Jeremy Lin is.

Before the game, the reporter asked Kobe: "How do you evaluate Jeremy Lin?"

Kobe: "Jeremy Lin? I don't know who he is."

After the game, the reporter asked Kobe again: "How do you evaluate Jeremy Lin?"

That night, Jeremy Lin scored 38 points at Staples. Kobe faced the camera, a little angry: "He almost scored 40 points on my head, you ask me how to evaluate him?"

What a competitive guy Kobe is, Henson knows very well. Jeremy Lin has actually succeeded in making Kobe say that after the game.

A small substitute led the Knicks without Anthony to a wave of 7 wins and 0 losses. Henson couldn't help shook his head. Without these 7 wins and 0 losses, the Knicks estimated that it would be dangerous to make the playoffs this year.

Jeremy Lin’s things are indeed magical. If Henson is still a fan now, in the case of such a scarcity of yellow skin players in the NBA, it is estimated that he will have a climax.

But at this time, as the head coach of an NBA team, Henson really didn't feel anything when looking at the opposing players' performance.

What does it matter to me that my players perform well? Even if it is my business, I still try to contain him instead of flattering him.

As for the relationship between Henson and Jeremy Lin's skin color...If that is all related, then most players in the NBA will not have to fight each other.

To put it bluntly, the enemy is the enemy. Henson will study Jeremy Lin sooner or later, but that is also to defeat the Knicks. Therefore, when a reporter asked Henson what he thought of Jeremy Lin yesterday, Henson's answer was also very brief.

"No opinion, I haven't seen him, what can you say?"

Well, a typical "Henson" answer.

Before tangling how to fight back-to-back with the Knicks, Henson must also lead the team through the test of three games safely.

The victory over the Bulls does not mean that the Pacers have achieved all their goals this season. This can only prove that the Pacers are no longer afraid of this Eastern Conference champion, but it does not mean that they are going wild in the Eastern Conference.

The Hawks, Heat, Magic...Henson is almost vomiting against these teams, but this time, these three opponents are still taking turns.

However, after three games, the Pacers' 1 win and 2 losses, although certainly not satisfied with Henson, but it did not disappoint him much.

Playing the Eagles, 101 to 96, although the Pacers lost at the Phillips Center, it was not the Pacers' lack of strength, but the referee's controversial penalties and the Pacers’s magical goal when the Pacers did a good defense. Led to this result.

After the game, Henson had nothing to do except spray the referee and the still rough Pachulia. There are always so few games lost in a season, Henson even got used to it. Compared with the game itself, people are more concerned about whether the Eagles will also go to the visiting team's locker room to find trouble for the Pacers.

In magic, the Pacers won, 107 to 94, which is an understatement. Van Gundy should be thankful that at least this time, the Pacers did not let him accept the humiliating score record.

In this game, Henson did not feel any pressure. Even if Henson didn't arrange it specifically, the Pacers players knew what to do. Since knocking out the Magic 4-1 in the playoffs last season, the Orlando Blues can no longer pose a threat to the Pacers.

And compared to the game itself, people are more concerned about the state of tearing the skin between Howard and Van Gundy, and the upcoming large-scale ethical series this summer: Where is the Warcraft.

Therefore, the win, one and two games did not give Henson a special feeling. After all, even the lively media and fans are not concerned about the game itself, which shows how ordinary these two games are.

What makes Henson most concerned about is the game between the Eagles and Magic, the Pacers lost to the Heat.

Since Thibodeau left in the Consecco Arena in despair, Henson immediately realized. The Pacers' biggest enemy in the East is no longer the Bulls, but the Miami Heat, which has been developing steadily this season!

In the game before this season, the Heat and the Pacers each won one, regardless of the difference. Henson wanted to have an advantage today, but unexpectedly he fell behind.

The reason why Henson cared about this game was not just because he lost, but because the game was not as flat as the previous two games.

On the contrary, the match was very intense, and it was the most intense match between the two sides this season. How intense is it? It was so fierce that 48 minutes were not enough time for both sides to decide the winner!

In the last 23 seconds of the game, the Heat led 95 to 92 by three points, and all Miami people thought they had the chance to win. But at this moment, Paul stood up again and used a three-pointer at the buzzer to drag the game into overtime.

After overtime, the two teams still couldn't make a difference. For the Heat, Henson really has nothing to do, because Spoelstra's tactics are not sophisticated, and he relies on the Big Three to take turns to show off. And those three guys are not good things that can be easily contained by a few defensive tactics.

So overtime, there was another three-point buzzer. Only this time, the Pacers were killed.

In the last 22 seconds of the game, the Heat have the ball. Wade, who hadn't made a three-pointer before, pierced Henson's heart with a three-pointer at the last moment.

In this way, the Pacers and Heat finally decided the winner through overtime and lore.

This kind of ups and downs of the game, Henson has not encountered it for a long time. He and the players have done a lot of effort in this game, but they have not been able to obtain a substantial advantage. Nonsense, if you gain an advantage, you won't be killed by a three-pointer.

The whole game persisted, but finally lost to the "Flash" by a three-pointer, this is the reason Henson can not forget for a long time.

The Miami Heat, unexpectedly, Henson's Pacers and this super team will also become deadly enemies on this day.

Fortunately, the Pacers immediately won the Magic after that, so the morale of the players was not affected much.

At this point, Henson must consider a very important question: how to avoid an early encounter with the Heat in the playoffs.

According to the current situation, if there is no major accident, the top three in the Eastern Conference will most likely be the Bulls, Heat and Pacers. After all, the Celtics did not play well in the regular season, and the Magic... they really did not compete for the top three this season. The eagle is still playing the role of a "poop", and the chance of breaking into the top three is not high.

It can be said that up to now, the situation in the east has become relatively clear. But no matter who the Pacers and the Heat are second, they will inevitably be divided into the lower half of the playoffs and will inevitably meet in advance.

It's not that Henson is afraid of the Heat, but if you want to go further in the playoffs, this basic evasion must also be there. You can't stop the Eastern Conference semifinals last year. After a major change in the lineup this year, you will stop the Eastern Conference semifinals.

Not to mention the finals and championships, Henson had to take Paul to the conference finals for a stroll.

The only way to avoid the Heat is to win the Eastern Conference in the regular season!

Henson curled his lips, first in the East, which sounded crazy. It seems that this season, the task is very heavy.

If you want to get the first place in the Eastern Conference...then play the Knicks back-to-back in two consecutive games.

Regardless of Lin madness or Melon madness, Henson’s task is to make none of them crazy.
