602: A lesson for you, remember
After Durant has helped defend to the basket, Draymond. When Green was about to shrink inside, no one expected Antetokounmpo to unconventionally execute the final shot with a step-back jumper.
What is even more unexpected is that after Antetokounmpo made a shot, he ran directly to the bench with open arms before the basketball entered the net.
In the history of the NBA, there have been times when goals were celebrated early. Among them, the most handsome is Arenas, who turned around to celebrate before the basketball went to the net, and is talked about even now.
Of course, there are naturally examples of such high-risk behaviors as pretending to fail, such as Nick. Poplar. He once emulated Arenas to celebrate a goal in advance, but when he turned his back, the basketball was awkwardly swept out. This scene can also be regarded as Nick. The biggest laugh of Yang's career.
At that moment, Antetokounmpo didn't think about whether it would succeed at all. Because at that time, his self-confidence was bursting. When Henson first laid out his tactics, he "predicted" all the details of what could happen.
And the fulfillment of these things is the source of Antetokounmpo's self-confidence. Henson's "prophecy" can't go wrong, so the last ball, it won't miss!
"Boss!" Antetokounmpo yelled and hugged the Chinese coach who had dug himself out.
Meanwhile, on the court, the red light on the rebound flashed. And the orange-red Spalding basketball is hollow into the net!
"Lore! Lore! Lore! In the final moments of the game, Antetokounmpo killed the Golden State Warriors with a step-back jumper! Great Pacers, Great Henson, Great Janis! They withstood the wave of attacks from the Warriors, and they won the first game of the century against the Warriors! ”
"It also means that the Golden State Warriors swallowed their first loss of the playoffs at the Bankers Living Arena! The Indiana Pacers are amazing, they survived! Kevin. Harlan couldn't suppress the emotions in his heart.
At that moment, Steve. Cole felt the entire banker's life arena tremble, and the stands seemed to turn into churning cornfields. He reluctantly slapped his thigh with the tactical board, he thought he had predicted everything, but he didn't expect to die at Antetokounmpo's hands.
Yes, Antetokounmpo just likes to shoot to the basket, but that doesn't mean he's completely incapable of shooting. Antetokounmpo can occasionally shoot accurate three-point shots, let alone mid-range shots. Henson must have seized on the Warriors' mentality that Antetokounmpo was going to score under the basket, and set him up with a mid-range shot.
Pacers shooting coach Bruce. Fraser had been good friends with Cole since he was in the Suns, so Cole was well aware of Frazier's abilities. With Fraser on the team, the players can't shoot too badly. Antetokounmpo has been practicing with Fraser for so many years, and he doesn't know how many tens of thousands of times he has practiced that step-back mid-range shot.
I made a mistake, I made a mistake.
Kerr shook his head, it seemed that after this match, it was time for him to study the way to contain Antetokounmpo.
But Cole didn't know that he was defeated not by Antetokounmpo, but by Henson.
After all, every detail of the attack just now was directed by Henson himself.
"Well done, Janis! I knew you were going to finish the fight! Henson barely caught his breath after being held by Antetokounmpo, but he was the first to praise his players.
"Thank you, Chief, for making it a great and perfect night." Antetokounmpo's voice was filled with gratitude, and he was glad that he was drafted by the Indiana Pacers in the first place.
40 points in a single game, limiting Green to only 8 points, and also staged a whistle-blowing stunner, and celebrated the victory in advance after the lore. Antetokounmpo was right, it was a great and perfect night. And it all started when Henson told him that he was going to play a star-studded game next.
Antetokounmpo even felt that choosing to take a pay cut to stay with the Pacers was the best decision in his life. As long as you play behind Henson, you won't be mediocre!
After the game, countless reporters with cameras gathered around Henson and Antetokounmpo, who were hugging each other. But of course, the reporters didn't forget about the Warriors' players and coaches.
Steve. Kerr was helpless in front of the camera, he wanted to caricature Henson as an outdated coach, but now he had to praise his opponent against his will.
"Coach Henson's tactics were very unexpected, and the final stunner was also unexpected. We had a tough opponent, but we won't give up. Cole walked away without complimenting his opponent's sincerity. So, he's not a gentleman at all.
Stephen. Curry was naturally very helpless, his last step-back three-pointer against Paul should have been the best goal of the game, and he should have been the biggest hero of the game. But all of this was ruined by Antetokounmpo.
"What else can I say, we need to keep trying. I didn't play well today, but the Pacers can't expect me to do it every day. Curry spread his hands, a little disapproving. In his opinion, the Warriors don't seem to be starting to get out of their way yet.
And the most embarrassing thing on the Warriors' side is undoubtedly Draymond. Green. The shooting rate of the whole game was 25%, and he also let his opponent slash 40 points + kill the game. And Antetokounmpo killed that goal, and he was shaken a.
But these are not the most terrible, the most terrible thing is that Green has just released cruel words before the game.
"Don't expect to win a game by attacking the best defensive player in crunch time, if Henson does that, he's just looking down on me. And I, I will make him regret it with my actions. ”
This is Draymond. Green's exact words at the time, and today, he has successfully used his actions to achieve Antetokounmpo, and by the way, he slapped himself in the face.
From now on, Antetokounmpo will step on Green's "corpse" and step into the ranks of the league's top superstars!
"Draymond, do you think you've managed to make Coach Henson pay?"
"Green, did you slip or get shaken at the last moment"
"How do you respond to letting Antetokounmpo score 40 points today?"
The embarrassing questions of Green's cancer made him have to pretend to be angry and walk quickly off the field.
But even so, Green still couldn't escape the fate of being ridiculed.
Half an hour later, in the media reception room of the Bankers' Living Arena, Henson was asked a few questions about Green as he attended a press conference.
"Coach Henson, did you set up the final kill tactics for Antetokounmpo specifically to deal with Green?"
Faced with this question, the expression on Henson's face was serious, "No. ”
But just after answering, Henson tilted his head again, "Well, I must admit, yes." The last attack, I did it on purpose. Everyone saw the result, and hopefully Green's jaw wasn't broken in half. ”
After Henson teased Green about being shaken down, the reporters burst into laughter.
"Are you doing this because of what he said before the game, I'll repeat to you what he said before the game......"
"No," Henson waved his hand before the reporter could finish, "I don't need to repeat it, I know what he said." And today's goal from Janis undoubtedly taught him a lesson. Remember, Draymond. Green, when playing against the Pacers, you'd better keep your big mouth shut. Today, it's the end of your mouth. ”
One by one, the reporters were extremely excited, first with Pachuria, and now with Green. Sure enough, there is no shortage of topics in the finals with Henson.
Reporters are already looking forward to how Green will respond to Henson tomorrow.
But Henson had no hope for that, if Green was smart enough.
He probably didn't dare to make any more responses.
