The Basketball Court Swordsman

Life hanging life.

Henson was not just talking about this sentence. After returning from Chicago, Henson immediately plunged into what he had to do his best to pursue.

The young Anthony Davis flew around on the court, three-pointers, breakthroughs, blocks, steals, this guy with big eyebrows and big eyes can do everything.

But no matter how hard he tried, the Pelicans couldn't break the shackles set by the Pacers.

Zhu Holledi, as a player who has played for the Pacers and Henson, he knows well. The Pacers' strength lies in their integrity. The overall nature of the Pelicans, to be honest, is not on par with the Pacers.

In this game, Anthony Davis scored a large double-double with 35 points and 12 rebounds. Holledi is not soft, with 16 points and 14 assists, he deserves to be a "Henson" player.

But in the end, with George and Antetokounmpo's combined performance of 52 points, the Pacers still beat the Pelicans 102-95 on the road.

When Davis broke out, the Pacers used their team to stabilize the situation. At critical moments, the Pacers used team offense to score critical goals.

Although the basketball game lasts for 48 minutes, it will take several hours to actually play. But sometimes, it is those rounds that really determine the outcome. And there is no doubt that the Pacers are unique in the ability to grasp the "those rounds".

After this game, the Pacers unknowingly won 11 consecutive victories! Since losing to the Warriors at the end of November, the Pacers have yet to fail.

People thought that Henson, who had just returned from Chicago, would experience fatigue. But it turns out that as long as he steps into the basketball court, the Chinese coach will never feel tired.

After the game, the reporters wanted to interview Henson. After all, the tactical arrangement of the Pacers' last few rounds today is really incomparable.

But Henson did not give the reporter this opportunity. After hurriedly hugging Zhu Holledi, he returned to the player channel, leaving only a back figure in a floral suit.

There is no doubt that Henson wears this way as a tribute to Sager. Because today, not only Henson, but many players and commentators are wearing fancy clothes. Although Sager is just a sideline reporter, his influence in the NBA is still very large.

"Um... It seems that Coach Henson is in a bad mood?" The reporters looked at each other. When Sager had just passed away and the Pacers beat their opponents, they could not think of the reason why Henson would not be interviewed.

Because today, even Popovich's "old stubborn" remembered Sarger in front of reporters with red eyes. Players such as James and Lillard also expressed their regrets about the death of Sager in front of the camera.

The social media of the major players is even more lively, almost everyone said that the NBA has lost a legend.

But Henson, who had a good relationship with Sager, did not do exactly this, which would inevitably surprise the reporters.

In fact, it's not that Henson is not sad. It's what should be remembered and sad. Yesterday, Henson in Chicago had all vented. He does not need to express these emotions in front of reporters or on social media. It has been expressed in front of Sag, that is enough.

Now Henson had no sadness in his heart, but only a momentum. And he believes that people like Sager definitely don't want everyone to cry.

Therefore, Henson went directly to work after returning from Chicago. This wonderful game tonight is proof.

However, Henson's current identity is more than just the head coach. You know, he is also the general manager of the Pacers this season. Moreover, Bird, Vivek and Stephen Simon all gave him a lot of power as the general manager. This includes the right to change the team's lineup.

Therefore, after the head coach's job is over, Henson wants to immediately devote himself to the work of the general manager. Therefore, the reporters were ignored.

After returning to the locker room, Henson immediately turned on the TV. At this point, the Portland Trail Blazers and Denver Nuggets game has ended.

132 to 120, the Nuggets won at home. I have to say that the Pacers' situation this season is really bad.

But Henson didn't care about the score of the game, nor did he care about Lillard's nostalgia for Sag in front of the camera. When playing the highlights of the game, Henson focused all his attention on a big white man who looked "chubby".

In the highlights, this big guy is always able to complete beautiful responses in high positions. His low post offensive skills are very mature, and he feels soft. Like most insiders now, he also made a three-pointer today.

In the end, in just 19 minutes of playing time, this "big white fat" got 13 points, 5 assists and 4 rebounds. To be honest, even a coach like Henson who has coached Horford, can't believe this is the data played by a center!

Nikolai Jokic, he is really a Kuibao that hasn't radiated all the light!

Of course, it is impossible for Henson to see a player clearly from the highlights of a game. In fact, Henson has been following Jokic for a long time.

Only selected in the second round of 2014, this white insider from Serbia was not optimistic at the beginning. It just so happened that Henson retired in the summer of 2014, so he ignored the Pacers' draft. Otherwise, he would be kidnapped and turned Jokic into a walker.

But it's actually not too late to be kidnapped by Jokic.

That's right, in order to achieve what he tried his best to do, Henson wanted to strengthen.

Although the regular season has been played for a long time this season, and the year will be changed in half a month, Henson believes that the Pacers still have room for reinforcement.

Especially inside, after the recent 11 consecutive victories, Henson found that the inside configuration of the Pacers did not meet his expectations.

The biggest problem with the inside line is mainly Channing Frye and Kevin Rooney.

Frye voted accurately and was able to open up space. Moreover, he is experienced, experienced injuries and his daughter's misfortune in 2012, and his perseverance is amazing.

Kevin Rooney has excellent athletic ability, and his 2m20 wingspan is what Henson likes. On the defensive end, Rooney's athletic talent was fully demonstrated. Whether it's a big defense or a big defense, Rooney can do it. After all, Rooney and Henson personally recommended the Pacers to choose, and the difference is definitely not much worse.

But at the same time, these two guys also have fatal flaws.

Frye's athletic ability is really choking. Although he works **** the defensive end, his ability is average. In the face of an absolute power gap, hard work alone is useless. In the playoffs, when encountering a strong team inside, once Antetokounmpo is going to the third position, Frye is easily blown.

And Rooney's problem is the opposite of Frye. Rooney on the defensive end is okay, but Rooney on the offensive end basically only has a means of dunking.

When he first started playing basketball, Rooney played as a guard. But as his height and wingspan continued to grow, he played in five positions on the basketball court. In order to adapt to the NBA, Rooney has increased physical training and determined to play inside.

So now, Rooney's once soft touch is gone. Not to mention the development of the three-pointer, he even shot unstable in the shot. On the offensive end, Rooney is often hollowed out by others. People only think of it occasionally when they "eat cakes for free".

"Oh, it turns out that Kevin Rooney is also involved in the offense."

Therefore, Henson now hopes to strengthen the Pacers' inside line. This player, it is best to combine the characteristics of Frye and Rooney. Both athletic ability can defend, and some offensive threats can open up space.

Frye and Rooney are of course good, but for the championship and to increase the confidence of defeating the Warriors, Henson still hopes that the lineup can be more perfect.

And Nikola Jokic is undoubtedly the more perfect candidate.

Don't underestimate Jokic, he is actually very flexible. Athletic ability is not comparable to Rooney, but at least better than Frye.

On the offensive end, Jokic has nothing to say. Henson even thought that the guy might grow into a cornerstone player.

The only downside is that Jokic has shown talent this season. Therefore, the Nuggets may be difficult to release. After all, no one is a fool. If you want to trade, the operation may be very difficult.

Of course, Henson does not fight unprepared battles. Anyway, he has a backup plan.

In order for players to benefit from their "progress acceleration" effect, the sooner Henson completes the transaction, the better. Therefore, he can't wait for the All-Stars to do it again.

After watching the highlights of the Blazers and Nuggets game, Henson turned off the TV and immediately dialed Bird's phone.

"I want to talk to you about strengthening the lineup."

Bird and Henson still don't like nonsense.
