The Basketball Court Swordsman

Chapter 223: : Three-pronged approach

A year ago, the 2011 Eastern Conference semifinals. Henson faced Rose who had just won the MVP, the Rose who could not be contained, thought for a while, and then made his choice. He did not use any words, allowing the Pacers and the Bulls to go shopping. In the end, the Pacers lost in tie-break and ended in the Eastern Conference semifinals.

Why didn't Henson take any measures? Because he can afford to wait, he has a grand reinforcement plan in his heart, and he pinned his hopes on next season. Therefore, Henson kept those precious words and skills, and waited until they could play their best role, and then used them to decide the victory!

One year was so fast that Henson hadn't even reacted yet, and he had to face a choice again.

The "next season" that he has pinned his hopes on has reached the most critical moment in a blink of an eye. He got the rookie he wanted and the star he wanted.

So now, is it to wait another year, or to fight the Miami Heat to the end?

Twelve hours have passed since the end of Game 2 of the Eastern Conference Finals. As soon as Henson opened his eyes, he received a lot of news on his phone.

These news come from different media and written by different reporters. But all the news summed up with one content: "The Pacers are over."

"The Pacers have reached the Eastern Conference Finals six times, but only have one experience in the Finals. The fate is unexpectedly similar. This year the Indiana Pacers still made a big kill all the way to the Eastern Finals. But for now, it seems here. It is their end."

"Coach Henson can't do anything about LeBron and Wade's excellent state, 41+10, can you imagine that this is the data that the 30-year-old Wade still came up with!? When the Heat's stars can play smoothly, all No team in the league can compete with it!"

"I admit that the Pacers have improved a lot this season. But they are like the Chicago Bulls of last season. Even if they won the first place in the Eastern Conference in the regular season, even if they passed the playoffs all the way through. But in the end, all Eastern teams couldn't. Escape the fate of being eliminated by the Heat."

"Hiss!" Henson was lying on the bed watching the news, and suddenly felt pain in his head.

2 to 0, yes, this is indeed a very terrible score. What's more, the next two games will be held in Miami. Perhaps most coaches are forced to this point and will choose to give up directly.

But Henson did not do so, he still thinks he has a chance. After all, he has something that most coaches do not have...

In the afternoon when he went to the Conseco Arena for training, Vogel found a very unusual scene.

At the beginning of the morning training, the players were all lifeless and weak, as if their confidence had been completely shattered.

This is also a logical thing, after all, the team is now behind 0 to 2, and both games have been suppressed by the Heat. Next, the battlefield will be transferred to Miami. The morale of the players is low and inevitable.

But since Henson gathered everyone and said a few words casually, things changed.

Vogel found that all the players were suddenly full of energy, talking and laughing, and training became harder! As if... as if the Miami Heat were behind 0-2 at this time!

Vogel admitted that Henson was definitely an orator. But the words he just said in front of the players were very common.

Something like "Don't give up, the game is not over yet", "That group of **** are still waiting to wipe us out in Miami, let them go to hell" and so on.

This kind of speech may be useful in the regular season, but in the playoffs, especially when it is still behind 0 to 2, ignoring the players "pouring chicken soup" will have the opposite effect.

But the magic is that the players actually really eat this set!

Seeing Vogel's puzzled appearance, Henson couldn't help but snickered on the sidelines. Just ordinary speech is of course useless, but if you add some "condiments" to it, the result may be different.

For example, "This is Spartan" phraseology!

Words: This is Sparta: reset team morale to 100!

Henson has kept this skill, and now it's finally time to come in handy! The effect of speech makes the players have no pressure to fall behind 0 to 2, only the determination to kill the Miami Heat.

Of course, Henson once said that determination can't win the game. Before that, Henson had already used the "continue shooting" technique to create a surprise for the Pacers.

Henson's two hole cards have been played, and only with a two-pronged approach can the Pacers have a comeback!

Well, it's just a "possibility" to turn around. Raiders + determination, this undoubtedly makes the Pacers a lot stronger than before, but it is still not enough.

Henson has solved the problems of the players now, it is time to solve the problems of the coaches themselves.

"Frank!" Seeing Vogel still scratching his head over there, Henson called his assistant to his side.

"After half an hour, gather everyone! We need to have a tactical meeting!"

"As you wish, Henson." Vogel nodded, then looked around in confusion.

Is it because these guys are too optimistic, or am I too lost?

Raiders + determination + new tactics, um... these things added together, maybe it's really enough to turn the situation back!

In the early morning of May 30th, reporters squatting at the Miami International Airport waited for their target, the Pacers from Indianapolis.

Seeing the Pacers’ flight landing, the airport security and the police on duty looked like enemies. There is no doubt that after the players come out of the channel, these media will jump on it like crazy! By then, the security pressure will become extremely huge!

"The Pacers are behind 0 to 2, I want to see how arrogant the Chinese coach is!"

"That is, I have been watching his proud face all season, and now someone can finally clean him up!"

"Hey, I can't wait to see what Henson Joe and his players will look like later!"

A police officer heard several reporters secretly commenting on Henson Joe, but he was indifferent. The only thing he thinks about now is how to ensure safety, and secondly, he is a baseball fan.

A few minutes after the flight landed, tall figures appeared in front of everyone. Suddenly, there were flashes in the hall, and the reporters rushed up one by one!

"Tsk tusk, Miami people are so enthusiastic." Looking at reporters who were about to embarrass him outside, Henson was not nervous, but with a smile on his face.

The reporters in Miami wanted to take pictures of Henson and his players' desolate expressions, but when the Pacers players walked out of the tunnel, their faces were very "untimely" confident!

The Pacers players have a fever? Or they think it is themselves who are leading 2-0! ?

"Coach Henson, Coach Henson! Can you answer me a question!?" The reporters stretched out their microphones frantically, and the local Miami media decided to eliminate the Pacers' spirit!

Henson stopped with his seemingly nonchalant smile, as if he did not shy away from being interviewed, "ask."

"Coach Henson, the Miami Heat has already started pre-selling tickets for the Finals online! This means that the Heat are confident and have a chance to win! Do you think your team has a chance? Behind 0-2, And when you have to play two away games right away, do you think you still have a chance?"

"Hmm..." Henson touched his chin, pretending to be thinking seriously, "I hope the Heat's ticketing network server is strong enough, because in a few days, they will have to return the money to Fans who have pre-purchased tickets for the Finals!"

The reporter opened his mouth in surprise, he didn't expect Henson to be in the mood to speak!

"You are behind 0 to 2, Coach Henson!" The reporter reminded.

"So what? My biggest opponent has never been the Miami Heat, but you media who have nothing to look for!" Henson finished speaking, and his smile disappeared instantly, staring at the reporter who asked his question very seriously.

The reporter swallowed, and he found that he was stared at him by Henson!

"It's right to be afraid, you should be afraid. But I, I will never be afraid of you! No matter how you attack, neither I nor my team will give up. Want to know if we have a chance? See you there!" Henson said, waved, then put on his sunglasses and left.

In Miami at the end of May, the sun was a bit dazzling.
