Pat. Riley sat in the luxury box, smiling. Watching that number 3 show himself to the fullest is Riley's happiest moment of the season.

Ever since Wade announced that this was his "last dance," every game of the Heat has actually been in the spotlight. Of course, it's not just the Heat's wins and losses, it's the countdown performance of that great guard.

On the court, Wade broke through J.J. Reddick's defense after borrowing cover. Although not as lightning fast as before, his change of pace still caught Redick off guard.

And just like that, the Heat went into the restricted area, and then Joel. Embiid forced a layup under the defense.

In the air, Wade expertly dodged Embiid's big hand and then softly threw the ball to the basket.

Although this past season, Wade's form was very average. But this year, in the last season, Wade is in very good shape.

This can be seen from the stats, Wade averaged only 11.4 points per game last season. This season, Wade is averaging 15.0 points per game. Although he can't be compared to him in his heyday, he did play well.

A layup in the confrontation, a basketball board refracted into the net. At the same time, the referee's whistle blew for Embiid to defend for a foul.

The audience stood up and cheered, and the man completed a beautiful three-point attack.

"It's wonderful!" Pat. Riley applauded in the box, and once, as a general manager, he did something good for the team, but very impersonal.

That was to let Dwayne go. Wade.

But now, when the Heat don't have much pressure on the team, and when he sees Wade happily playing on the court, the old guy who was once spurned by all Miami fans finds that he hasn't been so happy for a long time.

This time, there weren't so many stakes involved, and there weren't so many intrigues. Pat. Riley, like Wade, was enjoying basketball.

Enjoying basketball has become a luxury for professional basketball professionals.

At this time, Bird's good helper and current Heat general manager Andy Brown. Ellisberg walked over to the silver-haired Riley with a look of horror. He was holding a cell phone that was streaming a live stream of another NBA game.

"Riley, you've got to look at this stadium." Ellister's voice trembled a little.

"Well, I'm watching, Dwayne's performance is just amazing." Bird smiled and waved his hand, not paying attention to his phone screen.

"No, I'm not talking about the pitch down there, I'm talking about the Bankers' Living Arena!"

"Banker's Living Arena!?" Hearing these words, the smile on Riley's face suddenly disappeared. After all, the arena in Indianapolis had caused him a lot of pain.

Yes, if it weren't for the Pacers, the Heat Big Three would have been very successful. And Dwayne. Wade, too, can get more championship rings.

"I don't want to watch the Pacers play, and our goal this season isn't a championship, so whatever." Riley kept his eyes on the bottom, he didn't want his good mood ruined.

"No, this game is special. That lineup you once talked about...... Henson. Joe turned him into reality! Elisburg handed the phone directly to Riley, who saw that Allistburg was not joking with him, so he took the phone and glanced at it a few times.

At this point, the game between the Pacers and the Rockets had reached the fourth quarter. The Rockets trailed by 15 points, a result that didn't surprise Riley.

Henson. Joe has a few pounds and a few taels, and he knows too well. After all, the Heat lost the most that year to the Pacers.

Riley then looked at the Pacers' on-court lineup. Suddenly, he frowned.

"This ......" Riley leaned closer to the screen and looked closely.

Antetokounmpo, George, Kuzma, Bogdanovic and Siakam! He read that right, Henson fielded a line-up with little to no position! Riley now knew why Ellistberg was so surprised.

Henson. Joe turns Riley's fantasy of the future of basketball into reality!

"They...... With this lineup, I have a 15-point lead! ”

Riley was asking, and Wade added two more points with a beautiful mid-range shot on the court. The fans cheered enthusiastically, and the cheers even jumped into the luxurious box.

However, Riley was indifferent to what was going on on the field at this time. His attention had long since shifted to Indianapolis.

"That's right, Henson. Joe has relied on this lineup to suppress the Rockets and forced the Rockets' three-point shooting percentage to be very low. Because no matter how the Rockets' players are changed, they are almost always playing in the wrong place. ”

"And what about Capella? Isn't he supposed to be overturning the river and the sea on the inside? Riley looked at Ellisberg eagerly, and although he had come up with the concept of no place division on the basketball court, he was willing to accept Henson. The fact that Joe really did it all.

"No," Elisberg shook his head, his answer disappointed Riley, "Capela is on the inside and doesn't get any advantage!" ”

※※※

Mike. D'Antoni stood anxiously on the sidelines, and it was not difficult to see from his expression that this guy was full of despair about the situation.

However, just before the third quarter of the game, he thought he was a "fake guard", a man who could uncover Henson. Great coach of Joe Shame Leaf. He will prove the truth of the phrase "my grandma can win the championship with the Pacers."

At this point, however, he laughed at himself inwardly. laughed at himself for being so arrogant, and laughed at himself for daring to underestimate the basketball godfather of Indianapolis.

Henson tore the Rockets' championship dream to pieces with just one substitution!

If the Rockets want to win a championship, they must find a way to contain the Pacers' ultimate roster. Of course, the premise is that they have to get past the Warriors first......

Antetokounmpo misplaced in front of Harden, last season's MVP James. Harden defended very hard. However, his efforts were of no avail at all! ”

Reggie. As soon as Miller's words fell, Antetokounmpo entered the interior with a crushing advantage. Seeing this, Capela's only option was to fill the frame.

Unfortunately, Antetokounmpo isn't Westbrook's kind of guy with a muscle. Seeing Capela coming over to make up for it, the Greek skillfully distributed the ball to Siakam, who was also an international player.

The latter fired from the corner and helped the Pacers hit a three-pointer.

The Pacers don't know how many similar goals they have played. But there is no way, supplemental defense and non-supplemental defense are dead, and the Rockets are of course willing to put a three-point shot with lower certainty. It's a pity that the Pacers' ultimate lineup didn't miss out on outside the three-point line today.

The three-pointer that the Rockets relied on to survive today became the Pacers' weapon to kill them.

"The Pacers scored again, an 18-point margin, and it would be disappointing if the Rockets were to stretch the margin to 20 points by the Pacers!"

"That's right, now Mike. D'Antoni should call a timeout! ”

Reggie. Miller and Chris. Webber looked at D'Antoni on the sidelines, but he was still standing there like a log, doing nothing.

That guy has been scared silly for a long time.

On the other side, Henson sat firmly on the Diaoyu Tai. From the very beginning of his coaching career, he has been working to blur the division of positions on the field. Of course, Henson's initial move was just a "small fight" like letting Granger play the No. 4 position.

Later on, Henson used the "Death Defense" and the "Death Five". At the same time, Al. Horford also played a playmaker role during his time with the Pacers.

So, Henson has been experimenting all the time. People say that Nelson Sr. is a "mad scientist", and Henson is the kind of "scientist" who seeks innovation in stability.

The reason why he likes jack-of-all-trades like Stephenson and Tucker so much who can play multiple positions is to prepare for an extremely balanced lineup.

And today, Henson's years of trial and research have finally paid off!

He watched with satisfaction the ultimate lineup he had single-handedly created, and it appeared in front of the world without warning. Even Vogel and Becky. Harmon was surprised, let alone the others.

Henson smiled, now, I really want to order a cigar......

"Beep~~~~"

Amid the cheers of the All-Pacers fans, the game was won by Reggie Brown. The confrontation that Miller called a "historic game" is finally over.

128-109, the Pacers defeated the Houston Rockets who were clamoring to end the championship before the game by 19 points at home.

The Rockets, with the addition of Paul and Anthony, are still beaten!

At the end of the game, the whole stadium rushed to Henson, and the other players, even last season's MVP James. Harden, no one cares!

D'Antoni stood still, as if he couldn't believe what he had just experienced.

Are the Rockets a championship-caliber team today? D'Antoni shook his head, he felt like he had been faked.
