"You should ask if the Thunder can safely survive their three home games in Oklahoma."

At half-time, Henson finally had a chance to say this to reporters. But there's no doubt that Thunder fans are thinking that Henson, the bastard coach, is bluffing. With just a first-quarter lead, the Pacers were one way close to winning the game. Almost all Thunder fans are expecting the Thunder Sanshao to use the next three quarters of the game to slap the Chinese coach in the face.

However, the fact is that now that the game has reached the fourth quarter, the Thunder fans in the stands have to think about another problem.

Will the Thunder be able to survive their three home games in Oklahoma?

At this point, it's Chris. Paul is pushing on the ball. Seeing Paul with the ball, the fans in the Chesapeake Energy Arena burst into the most violent boos. But in the midst of the boos, Henson heard fear.

That's right, Thunder fans should be afraid. Because today, Chris. Paul's performance was truly terrifying......

With 1:28 left in the game, the Pacers led the stubborn Thunder by six points 108-102. Truth be told, the Thunder's tenacity is beyond Henson's imagination. He didn't expect at first that the Thunder would be able to survive to the end when Paul played to the extreme.

This is mainly thanks to Kevin. Durant's play and Derrick's. Fischer hit four three-pointers in the spotlight.

But Henson believes the Thunder can do more than resist.

In the blink of an eye, Paul had borrowed El. Horford and David. West's double screen sinks into the box. Everyone on the Thunder team is on tight tension, they can't let Paul score any more goals!

However, Paul nimbly shuttled through the crowd and took the initiative to fight Westbrook behind him. Westbrook was sweating profusely, probably the most humiliating game of his career so far, and had been suffering since the "injured" Paul suddenly came out.

After Paul carried Westbrook, he suddenly accelerated and jumped to the basket, and his changeable rhythm made Westbrook's stunned youth unpredictable. At the moment when Paul took off, Kendrick. Perkins pounced as well. He couldn't control Horford in the bottom corner anymore, because he knew it well. Even if it's an open shot, it's better to put Horford on a three-pointer than to put Paul on a layup.

Jumping, bending, pulling, shooting, netting, whistlering, unfortunately, Perkins' defense did not play any role, Paul not only scored effectively, but also added penalties!

"Chris. Paul! He put on a super show for us tonight! 38 points! Paul has scored his 38th point of the day! Kevin. Durant, the scoring champion, has only scored 28 points so far. Paul is also 10 points lower! "Mike. Brin had to yell at the game as the Thunder fans booed the arena.

Paul, on the other hand, just silently high-fived his teammates, then stood at the free throw line and firmly grasped the opportunity to hit a three-pointer.

With a free throw shot, 111-102, the Thunder were almost pushed off a cliff.

"I have to say that Coach Brooks didn't do a pretty job of scheduling on the spot today. Henson. Joe grasped this and made a lot of targeted settings. He suddenly took out Chris. Paul's move caught Brooks off guard. ”

As he spoke, James. Harden missed a layup with George's defense and Horford's perfect defense. It was Harden's 10th shot of the game, but he had only hit two shots before. 20% shooting, for the third game in a row, Harden was completely locked up.

George and Horford have a very good understanding, and George even often lures Harden to Horford's side, because he knows that Horford will definitely be there in time for him to appear. It can only be said that George's single defense ability, Horford's help defense ability, and Henson's tactical emphasis on Harden successfully made the best sixth man a transparent person in the Finals.

Brooks' expectations were dashed again, and in the final moments, Harden still couldn't finish the fourth quarter like he did in the previous series. With one minute left in the game, Harden's miss almost cost the Thunder a death sentence!

"The time has come to witness greatness, Frank." Seeing Paul possess the ball again and push away, Henson couldn't help but stand up. It was the first time Henson had left the bench since the middle of the third quarter.

"Witness greatness?" Vogel looked confused, only to see Henson point to the large screen on the dome, motioning for him to look at today's game stats.

Vogel looked up and was stunned.

On the pitch, Paul was still excited. It's the closest he's ever gotten to a championship, and God knows if it's going to be the closest of his career. So he's very hungry to win the championship, and he wishes this was the last game.

In fact, Paul did play this game as if it were his last.

With a nine-point lead in the final minute, Paul remained positive. "Queen Bee" does not intend to leave any chance for the Thunder to come back to life, he has to hold the third victory firmly in his hands before he is willing!

Exiting midway through the last game made Paul think his championship dream was over again. Now that he can "rise from the dead," Paul will certainly not waste the opportunity God has given him!

Unbeknownst to Paul, this opportunity was not given to him by God, but by Henson and his badge......

Paul passes the ball to David. West, West backs up to Ibaka. Ibaka was ready to fight and did not dare to let up in the slightest. In the last minute, if the Pacers scored another goal to stretch the margin to double digits, it would be the end of it!

West pushed back hard, and the referee watched intently as the two big guys fought hand-to-hand. After all, West's fake fall performance in the last round helped the Pacers get a lot of fouls.

But today, West didn't do that. To be exact, he didn't do that at all. This series is different from the previous round, and it is far from the point where it requires no compromise.

West suddenly waved his arm and passed the basketball out. He wasn't the end point of the attack, the end point was still Chris. Paul!

At this point, Paul had already borrowed Green's off-ball cover to make a gap. Westbrook really doesn't have much experience with defensive cover, and if Henson had coached the Thunder, he would have let Sephorosa "Swiss Army Knife" deal with Paul a long time ago.

But after all, Brooks is not Henson, he is good at developing players, but he is not good at directing games. It's not the first time this season has happened, and everyone knows that the Thunder have a weakness that has been caught by the opposing team, but Brooks just doesn't make substitutions! The reason is simple, he wants to play according to the rotation plan......

So, Paul hit a three-pointer and completely pierced the heart of the Thunder. 114-102, Brooks called a timeout. Henson, meanwhile, threw his arms up as if he had won the match a minute earlier.

Yes, Henson won!

"42 points, 10 assists, 7 rebounds and ...... 0 mistakes! Chris. Paul, he played an almost perfect game! "Mike. Bryn looked at Paul's stats for the game and couldn't help but shudder. And that's why Henson just said he wanted to witness greatness.

Isn't it great enough that Paul directed such a perfect game by himself?

Still with an ankle injury? Or maybe you're going to have a tough time? Henson. Joe's face is really not red and his heart is not beating when he tells a lie! Mike. Brin now kind of knows why most coaches don't like Henson. Joe.

This guy really does anything to win.

Paul came off the field and hugged everyone one by one. This scene made the Thunder fans in the stands very uncomfortable. Obviously, the game is not over yet, and Brooks is still seizing the time to arrange tactics. And here for the Pacers, it seems that they have already begun to celebrate the victory!

If Henson had known what the Thunder fans were thinking, he would have stepped up to clarify for himself: we weren't "as if" we were celebrating a victory, we were indeed celebrating a victory!

"Boss." The last person Paul hugged was Henson.

"Well done, you beat them up." Henson patted Paul on the back, although his plan today was indeed to let the sudden appearance of Paul dominate the game, he did not expect Paul to dominate the game with such exaggerated statistics.

"I think I'll get an O'Brien Cup before I die."

"Of course, don't worry, Chris, we'll bring the O'Brien Cup back to Indianapolis!"

After talking to Paul, the timeout was just over. This pause Henson didn't even take the tactical board, and he didn't talk about a single tactic. Just put on all the substitutions and declare the game going into garbage time!

Thunder fans were undoubtedly very angry about this, but in the last minute, Durant's performance of 5 points in a row failed to save the Thunder.

114-107, the Pacers relied on Paul's great performance to rewrite the series overall score to 2-1 in Oklahoma!

All the Pacers players rushed onto the court to celebrate and cheer. They know they're getting closer to winning the Pacers' first championship in franchise history......
