The Basketball Court Swordsman

Since December, the Pacers' record has not particularly satisfied Henson. In Phoenix on December 3, Channing Frye and Jason Richardson's state of affairs caused the Pacers to lose in Phoenix. On the 6th, the Pacers slaughtered the Raptors by 24 points at home, and seven of the team scored in double figures. But just two days later, the Pacers lost to the Milwaukee Bucks for the second time this season. At the end of the game, the Australian No. 1 player Bogut took a lore.

After the game, Henson did not hide his disappointment at this loss.

"We did a good job the whole game, but who would have thought they could win in such an unbelievable way." Henson's face was helpless.

The situation at the time was that in the last second of the game, the score was tied. Luke Barmott took the sideline kick and Henson placed heavy guards to guard Brandon Jennings and John Selmons. Unexpectedly, Bogut, who had just come out to make a fake screen, suddenly turned back into the penalty area. Bamot directly dipped the ball into the inside line. The rough Australian took hold of Horford’s confrontation, leaped high, and shot the basketball in the air into the basket. At the same time, the buzzer sounded, the game ended, and the audience was boiling.

At the end of the game, Henson looked at the big screen in disbelief. Until the score was added, he couldn't believe that he was actually killed.

When shook hands after the game, the triumphant look of Bucks coach Skyles made Henson even more unwilling. But in this game, Skyles taught Henson at least one thing.

Sometimes a player that other people didn't expect to perform the final blow might be a miracle! What did Stevens say to Henson? Absorb all the tactics you feel good!

Skyles is of course very proud, after all, the Bucks are the only team that can double kill the Pacers this season. There is no doubt that this disciple of Danny Angie once robbed Henson's limelight.

One day after losing to the Bucks, the Pacers defeated the Bobcats at home. Strangely enough, the Pacers have never lost to the Bobcats since Henson took control of the team at the end of last season.

But the victory in this game made Henson not happy because Al Horford's finger was contused during the game and he had to be injured for 10-15 days.

Al Horford's injury means that the Pacers have lost a key tactical starting point. The only thing Henson felt fortunate was that Horford and George's injuries were not too serious. Looking at the shocking injury lists of other teams, Henson felt that he was actually not so unlucky.

After learning that he must be absent for 10-15 days, Horford found Henson in private and offered to fight. After all, tomorrow, the Pacers will play an away game in Atlanta back to back. Horford does not want to be absent from any game against the old club Hawks.

But Henson did not agree to Horford's request. After all, this was just a regular season. Henson didn't want to take the players' health risks.

???????? "Do you know Al, the reason why many people in this league did not seize the opportunity is not because they did not get the time to play, but when they played, they found that they did not seize the opportunity? The ability of opportunity. Pay attention to your injury, because it will make you lose the ability to seize opportunities. So listen to the team doctor and heal your injury."?

Henson's words dispelled Horford's idea of ​​playing with an injury. But there is no doubt that losing such an important tactical starting point will cost the Pacers.

The Pacers' tactical system emphasizes teamwork, which was originally a good thing. But if there is an injury and a certain piece of the tactical system is suddenly missing, the team's original simple and smooth tactical system will immediately collapse.

So on December 11, at Phillips Arena in Atlanta, the Pacers paid the price.

Josh McRoberts was embarrassed to use it, and his terrible touch today prevented Hibbert from having to stay away from the basket. In this way, the Hawks' defense has become solid, and it is difficult for the Pacers to gain space.

The absence of George allowed the Eagles' best sixth man Jamal Crawford to play smoothly and scored a team-high 25 points. Stephenson, who replaced George, was too impatient today, and Crawford's excellent dribble can just turn his impatient opponents around.

97 to 83, the Pacers experienced the worst defeat of the season. The Eagles succeeded in revenge, and the elder Larry Drew was finally able to boast in front of the media: "I have already said that Coach Henson's system is vulnerable."

While in the player tunnel, Henson ran into a young Christian. She asked Henson a question, "What do you think of the dilemma the team is currently facing."

Christine frowned, looking a little worried. Henson didn't know whether the intern reporter asked this question whether it was a personal concern or a routine interview.

"Dilemma? No, we have two more wins than the Bulls." Henson didn't think much. The only thing he can do now is to stabilize the morale of the team. If you admit that the team is in trouble, the players will be more depressed than themselves.

Now Henson was not in the mood to tease his sister, so after answering the question, he nodded and left.

After losing to the Hawks, the Pacers are still paying the price. They lost to the Bulls separately-perhaps Henson's phrase "we have two more wins than the Bulls" angered the Chicagoans, and the Bulls gave the Pacers a 19-point defeat in the United Center.

Lost to the Lakers, the second team in the league to double the Pacers. Subsequently, they lost to the Celtics who had the Big Three. The Pacers' outstanding record this season undoubtedly poses a threat to the Celtics. So this game, the "green shirts" did not give Bird face, 99 to 88, the Pacers was another miserable defeat.

So far, the Pacers have experienced the longest four-game losing streak of the season. The record has also been amazing from the beginning to the current 14 wins and 10 losses, slightly mediocre.

After the four-game losing streak, the media wailed.

"The dream is over! The Pacers fell out of the top three!"

"How long can Henson Joe sit on the bench? Will Bird change coaches?"

"Chris Paul: We will not let go of any chance of defeating our opponent, and the opponent is in a four-game losing streak, this is an opportunity!"

This four-game losing streak even shocked Bird. He made a special call to Henson and asked him if there were any problems with the dressing room and what difficulties the studio encountered.

Henson’s answer was so simple that people thought they had just experienced four consecutive victories.

"The team has no problems."

Byrd curled his lips, he could do nothing but trust.

After losing to the Celtics, the Pacers got a day off. After that, it was back to back at home. The opponents are the New Orleans Hornets, currently 16 wins and 11 losses, and the Cleveland Cavaliers, who have lost to the Pacers twice.

After back to back, it is Christmas. Therefore, if the Pacers can't get good results in these two games, it is estimated that Henson will not even have the mood for Christmas.

However, the timely return of Al Horford and Paul George gave Henson a bottom. He began to research the Hornets drastically, trying to prevent the "Queen Bee" Paul from getting the opportunity he said.

After training the day before the game, Vogel went to Henson's office and delivered cookies baked by his wife.

Not everyone knows the relationship between Henson and the Pacers owner's daughter, so everyone has always regarded Henson as a bachelor. Knowing that he doesn't like to cook alone, so I often give him some food.

In fact, although Henson has a relationship with An Jiali, he almost lives alone. Being single is not terrible. The terrible thing is that there are women who still lead the life of a bachelor.

"Thank your wife Frank for me, her craftsmanship is amazing." Henson waved at Vogel, and then quickly focused his eyes on the computer screen in his office.

"What are you looking at Henson? Has the game plan been set for today's noon game?" Vogel curiously leaned over and took a look, and found that Henson was actually watching the NBA's wonderful lore.

Vogel looked at Henson in surprise, and Henson smirked.

"Be prepared for nothing, be prepared for nothing, hehe."

Well prepared, now that everyone is here, the Pacers can't lose anymore.
