The Basketball Court Swordsman

"What do you think of his remarks? I only hope that Coach Henson can shut up and direct his game!" Faced with Christine's question, George Carr seemed a little angry. As one of the most famous coaches in the entire league, Carl did not expect that a rookie who had just commanded the team to play five games would dare to speak out!

George Carr has never been a refined person. His rude style has been established since his youth. Even in the face of the league's biggest star, Carl dare to speak out, let alone Henson, a young man who has not had much reputation in the coaching circle.

Seeing George Carr blushing and turning round and walking away, Christine let out a sigh of relief. The interview with George Carr ended safely. As Henson said, this issue is very safe. It will not be too boring, nor will it cause a fire. This trainee reporter couldn't help looking at the Pacers bench. Coach Henson Joe? What an interesting guy.

"Fucking offense! It's faster than us. It's really unbelievable!" Seeing George Carl cursing back to the bench, Carmelo Anthony knew there was nothing good. I don't know who it was, he actually ignited this powder keg in advance.

"Listen, guys! You were stupid enough to lose to the Mavericks in the last game. Today, I can't accept that we lose to the Pacers again! Use your fiercest offense to engulf here! Run for me, don’t want to be lazy, I need you to speed up the pace as soon as you play, and shoot when you get a chance! If anyone hesitates, just roll me down and sit on the bench!" As Anthony expected, George Carr pulled his throat and started yelling as soon as he came back.

But Carl's yelling made the Nuggets players gear up. When a coach allows the team to attack as soon as they are on the court, few players will not get excited.

The Denver Nuggets have always been like this. They don't play team basketball, but "gangster" basketball. George Carr does not advocate that the team has a superstar, because anyone can become his superstar tonight. As long as you feel good today, whether you are a first-year rookie or a veteran who is almost 40, you will have unlimited firepower.

This is why J.R. Smith played well in the Nuggets. No matter how strong your J.R. was in the last game, as long as you are accurate now, George Karl will dare to use you and give you the right to shoot.

On the Pacers side, Henson, who just said in front of the media that he would use offense to contain the offense, is arranging defense for the team...

"Carmelo Anthony, I have said it countless times in the past few days. If anyone makes him play, then the Nuggets can take away the victory. We can't let this super scorer leave it alone, Daniel, You defend Cameron yourself. Don’t worry, there are teammates behind you to help you defend. We have to use the power of the team to contain Cameron’s performance. After you are on the court, no matter how fast the opponent plays, you all Give me a steady rhythm, patiently conduct, don’t be led by the opponent. Patience, take the opportunity and then take the shot, if there is no chance, pass the ball to Holiday and Daniel, understand!?"

"understand!"

After finishing the final deployment, Henson watched the starting five step onto the court. After walking back to the bench, Henson sat between Stephenson and Paul George, opened his arms and hugged them.

"Don't think that you have no task on the bench today, Lance, do you see the guy with tattoos on the other bench? JR Smith is on the court, I will send you on the court. If you make him hit more than 40 goals today %, I will practice an extra hour of lateral movement tomorrow. As for George, your task is to score as many points as possible in the second team. Use your advantage and treat this as Fresno University, and you are this The star of the school!"

The two rookies looked at the coach sitting beside them, really wondering, Henson Joe and George Carr, who is more like the bandit leader.

When the starting five tigers of both sides stood in the designated position, the current T.NT commentator, the former King of Indianapolis Reggie Miller couldn't help but stare at his own eyes.

"The Pacers let Mike Dunleavy, who didn't play much time in the first five games, start! The previous starting lineup, Coach Henson, took only five games, and it changed again! It's hardly possible that he lost the last game. After the Bucks, has Coach Henson made any new adjustments?" Reggie Miller really didn’t understand what Henson had. Facing the Nuggets’ simple and crude “track and field” style of play, he obviously continued. It would be more appropriate to use Paul George, a rookie with outstanding athleticism.

But Henson didn't do that. Instead, he brought Dunleavy, the average white shooter.

Reggie Miller has always been the support of the Pacers, so he has never questioned Bird publicly, and he has a wait-and-see attitude towards Henson, a rookie coach. It's just that today's change still makes Miller feel a little wrong.

After the start of the game, the Brazilian center Nene, who is 2.11 meters tall, won the first strike for the Nuggets. Veteran star point guard Chauncey Billups trot all the way through halftime. George Carr wanted a fast-paced offense, and Billups gave him a fast-paced offense.

Anthony just stood on the wing and raised his hand for the ball. This guy wants to attack more than George Carr!

Billups didn't hesitate and passed the ball to Anthony, who had been making headlines due to the recent transfer turmoil. Anthony held the ball frame and realized that it was not Dunleavy, who was in a hurry to defend himself, but Daniel Granger!

But even Granger, Anthony would not take it seriously. Not to mention Granger, even if Kobe or James is in front of Anthony at this time, he won't hesitate to take the ball!

Seeing this situation, Wesley Matthews' defense was immediately in place. If Anthony insists on breaking through, what awaits him will be a double team.

Although somewhat unwilling, Anthony still gave the ball to Afflalo, who was temporarily emptied starting point guard. Afflalo caught the ball from the right bottom corner and shot, the basketball hollowed into the net, and the Nuggets scored first!

"Hmph, you have seen the offensive firepower of the Nuggets." George Carl smiled triumphantly on the bench, and fought against himself? Are you qualified?

Although the Pacers conceded the ball as soon as they came up, Henson didn't seem to care. The camera gave Henson a close-up, and saw Henson sitting on the bench with his legs tilted indifferently, as if the Nuggets had just lost points.

After the Pacers' offense was over, the pace remained fast. But this kind of speed is different from the previous few games. In the first few games, the advancement is fast and the shot is also fast. It usually takes only a few seconds for the Pacers to complete the offense, which is quite a whirlwind of the Suns.

But the Pacers' speed today is more reflected in the fast transmission. The players conduct the ball very fast at half time, almost always touching the ball with one hand. Using fast conduction and endless running, the Pacers quickly opened up the offensive space. Horford didn't have the ball to screen, Dunleavy went to the left corner, temporarily getting rid of Anthony, who was lazy on the defensive end.

At the same time, Hollodi immediately delivered the ball, and Dunleavy shot directly after receiving the basketball!

They are all three-pointers from the bottom corner, but they are different from the Nuggets. Afflalo just scored a field goal, but Dunleavy's shot went out of the box.

"Tsk." The 2.06 meter tall white archer shook his head, the arc is a little higher, a little higher...

"The opportunity came out, but Dunleavy missed the shot! In fact, Dunleavy's average playing time in the first five games was less than 20 minutes. I don't understand why Coach Henson sent such a player who hasn't played the form to start. If the ball was changed to Paul George just now, maybe it would have been scored! Dunleavy may still have a long time to adjust!"

Miller shook his head. The starting point of the basketball game is about stability. The more stable the lineup, the easier it is for the players to play form. But many commentators, even those who are former professional players who change careers as commentators, are easy to overlook.

The head coach knows the best condition of a player. Fans and commentators can only see the state of a player in the game, but only the head coach can see what and what level he usually trains.

In the interference shooting training before the start of the game this afternoon, Dunleavy's shooting percentage is still terribly high! Henson believes that Dunleavy can play well. As for the iron strike just now, that's normal. Even the greatest shooter in the league can't guarantee that he will definitely hit every shot.

While talking, the Nuggets have already attacked. Carmelo Anthony made a jumper on Daniel Granger, 5 to 0!

In this ball, people have nothing to say except for Anthony's strong personal ability. Because Anthony's breakthrough did not get rid of the defense at all, this shot Granger was also very defensive. This kind of ball was scored, Henson also recognized. After all, it is impossible for the Nuggets to kill the game with such a reluctant attack!

"It's 5-0. Coach Henson has a bad start. It seems that the Nuggets' offense is more than twice as fierce as theirs." Reggie Miller was a little worried. Most of the Pacers won this season. Away, Henson should never lose again at home. For home team fans, they have longed for a home victory, long enough.

The Pacers' offense is still not "fast", in stark contrast to the offense that was thrown in a few seconds in the last game. Facing the Nuggets' meat grinder-style defense, the Pacers' previous smooth offense seems to be unable to play.

After entering the rotation time, relying on Stephenson's successful defense against J.R. Smith and Paul George's unexpectedly outstanding performance in the second team, the Pacers reluctantly stabilized the situation a bit. 23 to 25, with Anthony just 2 of 6 shots, the Pacers still trail the Nuggets by 2 points.

Because compared to Anthony's 2 of 6 shots, Dunleavy missed all 3 shots from the three-point line in the first quarter, which was even more dazzling. These two guys seem to have smashed the basket of the Conseco Arena.

"If Carmelo Anthony regains his form in the second half of the game, the Pacers will only die!" Miller was not surprised by Dunleavy's poor performance. But what is surprising is that Paul George is still in excellent form. He scored 6 points in a single quarter when he came off the bench. Without these 6 points, the Pacers are now nearly double digits behind.

As long as Henson returns George to the start in the second quarter, the Pacers still have a chance!

But after a short intermission, Dunleavy, who made 0 of 3 shots in the first quarter, still went into battle!

Miller shook his head, maybe this time, Bird really missed him.
