The Basketball Court Swordsman

Three days ago...

Henson walked into the team's strength training room. Normally, Henson rarely comes to this place. Because Henson is obviously more interested in basketball courts than these equipment.

But it was in this ordinary afternoon that Henson walked into the strength training room and stood on the treadmill to set the time and speed. And beside Henson, Channing Frye looked at his coach curiously. Fry knows very well that this guy doesn’t have a habit of exercising

"Coach Henson, why did you run on a whim today?" Frye has been with the Pacers for a long time. He was transferred from the Magic to the Pacers in the deal with Oladipo. .

Even so, this season is the first time Frye and Henson have worked together.

"Keep in shape, do you know? Byrd is starting to wear a shirt now! I don't want to be like him." Henson used a joke to eliminate the sense of isolation between him and Frye.

"Hahaha, but your figure has been maintained very well. By the way, are you not Armani's spokesperson? As a part-time model, you must also deliberately maintain your figure." Frye said, looking at Henson. As an old player, he knows very well that coaches like Henson who can sign commercial endorsements are very rare in the league.

"It's not about keeping in shape, just trying to keep yourself from gaining weight. By the way, Channing, I heard that your daughter is in Phoenix? How are her eyes recovered?"

"It was discovered in time, so my eyesight has basically returned to normal. Boss, how do you know about my daughter?"

In 2012, Frye's daughter Margo, who was only eight months old, was diagnosed with cataracts. If not treated in time, you will be permanently blind.

Of course, since Frye is not a star, few people care about his private life. Therefore, not many people know about it. Many people didn't even know that Channing Frye had a daughter.

But Henson seemed to know his past well.

"What a joke, you are my player, of course I know you. I also know that you almost couldn't play basketball because of a heart problem. Therefore, you truce for a year. But now, everything is back on track. , Isn't it?" Henson smiled, making the atmosphere less serious.

It was also in 2012 that Channing Frye was diagnosed with myocardial enlargement, a type of heart failure after her daughter's bad news.

At that time, the doctor told Frye directly, "You can't play basketball anymore, you will die."

"Yeah, everything is back on track... Boss, do you have something..."

"Playing the Warriors game a few days later, I want you to start. I know that you will be under a lot of pressure and you will encounter crazy attacks from Draymond Green. We are all people with heart problems. , We are still standing on the basketball court at this time. So I know very well that as long as you continue to do what you are good at, nothing can get us. This heart is not good, and Draymond Green is not good!"

Until now, Frye didn't know what was going on. It turned out that the coach was vaccinating himself. He, it's about to start...

"Relax, I know what I'm good at. I will make room for the team, I will try to defend Green, I will try to grab every rebound. Of course, I will also shoot those **** open three points. I I'll be ready, Boss. You don't have to worry about my state."

Frye showed white teeth. He just came to the Pacers to hang around? There has always been such a voice from the outside world.

But this time, Frye wants to say to them: "No!"

Cole didn't expect Henson to change, and he still pushed a veteran like Channing Frye to the starting position.

Henson wanted Antetokounmpo to match Durant, which Cole understood. But Henson used Frye to counter Green? Cole thought he thought of Green too simplistically.

After the game started, Brook Lopez competed for basketball from Zaza Pachulia.

The Pacers first attacked, and Channing Frye played a role in the opening game.

Paul George held the ball around the screen and broke through Klay Thompson. Henson deliberately asked George, who had a better breakthrough ability, to match Thompson instead of using shooter Danny Green for this purpose.

Thompson's defense is good, mainly not reflected in aggression. It's that he is not easy to lose position and can always interfere with the opponent's shooting. Therefore, Danny Green's type of player will struggle very much when he encounters Thompson.

But Thompson, who has ordinary athletic ability, is not good at pick-and-roll prevention. Under normal circumstances, Thompson will choose to bypass the defense from behind. The biggest drawback of this kind of defense is that players with excellent ability to stop jumpers will die miserably.

As a result, Draymond Green had to delay the past to defend George, because George happened to be a master mid-ranger.

Seeing this, Henson on the sidelines couldn't help clenching his fists. Whether Channing Frye's first serve can be effective depends on this time!

George is not stupid. Instead of shooting against Green, he divided the ball to the hollowed-out Fry according to the tactical arrangement.

The moment Frye caught the ball, a lot of noises suddenly appeared in his ears.

"That guy is just going to the Pacers to mess around. The Pacers are the same with or without him."

"Channing Frye is starting? Is he useful?"

"It's just an old bone, not to be afraid."

Frye smiled and made a decisive move! He still remembers what Henson said to him a few days ago, "As long as you continue to do what you are good at, there is nothing you can do for us."

Under Green's contemptuous eyes, Frye hollowed into the net with his first three-pointer! And the sounds in his ears disappeared without a trace in an instant!

Henson let out a sigh of relief, this time, the space was completely opened!

Subsequently, Green, who was angered by Henson before the game, planned to break Frye's level. Although Frye is not tall, he is not a muscular man, but he is positive.

From the first day of entering the league, Frye knew that if he was not tall enough, if he wanted to play inside, he had to defend harder than others.

This habit has been maintained until now, not to mention that Frye's morale is extremely high during this time period.

So under Frye's strong blocking, Green's forced layup became marginal. Cole shook his head, Henson is a serial trick at all!

Green, who was in a bad mood, was even more upset by the attack and defense. He was scored by an old guy and he didn't go back. Can Green be angry?

But it’s like Henson’s previous comment on George Carr said: “If anger is useful, the Nuggets would have won the championship long ago.”

It's useless to be angry, it's true for George Carl, and it's true for Draymond Green. This time on defense, Frye and George continued to play the pick and roll.

After George broke through, Green didn't go to make up the defense, but stayed beside Frye. His self-esteem has not allowed his match-up to score again.

As a result, Thompson, who is not good at defensive picks and rolls, had to face the destruction of the Pacers' number one star alone. He watched as George pulled up high and stopped a jump shot, but there was nothing he could do.

"brush!"

The tumbling sound of the Nets foul sounded again, but Steve Kerr and his players did not find it beautiful at all. 5 to 0, today's Pacers are extremely strong.

Subsequently, Durant also tried to punish the Pacers with a stop jumper defense, but his punishment was destroyed by Antetokounmpo.

Antetokounmpo's height and wingspan are not inferior to Durant, so Durant's shooting was sealed to his fingertips. Although Durant's anti-interference ability of this level of scorer is very strong, but it is not strong enough to hit the interference shot every time.

The Warriors missed their offense for the second time in a row. So far, Henson's plans have all worked out. His change of starting lineup worked as soon as he came up.

After the entire first quarter of the game, the Warriors struggled under the pace of the Pacers. Durant and Curry didn't get up on the offensive end, and Paul George on the defensive end let Klay face down.

After entering the rotation time, Oladipo and Brogdon's double shot in the backcourt made the Warriors still very embarrassed.

After the first 12 minutes of the game, the score became 28 to 23! The Pacers played a tough performance in the Oracle Arena and entered the second quarter with a five-point lead.

At the end of the first quarter, after the Pacers players were off the court, Henson gave a thumbs up to the sweating Channing Frye. The other players have high-five and hug each other.

"The Pacers' morale is really high. They swept away the previous haze and fought very bravely in the Oracle Arena! And all this enthusiasm seems to come from Henson!"

Mike Brin was full of enthusiasm. As soon as the Pacers came up, from the veteran Frye to the youngsters like Oladipo, they all showed the momentum to fight the Warriors.

On the other hand, Steve Kerr is not so easy. The Pacers were more aggressive than he thought, and neither Green nor Durant's performances met expectations. I have to admit that Henson's changes have a significant effect.

But the Warriors were not over yet, Cole looked at Thompson who gritted his teeth and was beaten by George in the first quarter.

This fiery shooter hasn't started to play yet!

"Come here all, just 5 points, no big deal. Listen up, in the second quarter, I want you to play for Clay."

Cole picked up the tactical board, Henson, don't be too happy...
