191: Henson's stratagem

The young reporter who exchanged words with Henson thought that the day after this incident, the media around the world would criticize the coach. However, to his surprise, it was he who was finally drowned by the people's mouth.

"Now still willing to take risks in Henson. There are not many reporters who provoked trouble in front of Coach Joe. After all, most people know that messing with that coach is tantamount to suicide. ”

"Mr. Reporter thinks the Heat are better than the Pacers, I have no opinion, but don't bring the Bucks!" Bucks fans are also very angry, because his sentence "Miami Heat is not Milwaukee Bucks" is really brainless. You know, yesterday everyone was on the home court of the Bucks, so yesterday's press conference was the most local media in Milwaukee.

To be honest, the current Bucks and Heat are indeed not teams at the same level. But there are some things that the locals themselves say are okay, but the outsiders say they can't. For example, when they were studying, most students would complain that "our school is really bad". But if outsiders say that, you definitely won't feel good.

Therefore, this young sports reporter has caused a series of troubles for himself because of an untimely prerogative. On the left, his peers are laughing at him, and on the right, the Bucks fans are spraying him.

And the one who openly scolded him for having a sick brain. What about Coach Joe? But he was unharmed.

"That kid must have regretted interviewing you bastard yesterday." Sitting on the sidelines of the training ground, Vogel picked up the newspaper and read it with relish, preferring to read the news through the traditional way of reading the newspaper rather than a mobile phone. Therefore, the scene of Vogel sitting by the training ground and reading the newspaper every day has become a daily routine that will not be absent every day.

"I didn't force him to interview me, what do you call me a bastard. Don't worry, that kid won't lose his job because of this. He has attracted so much attention and traffic, and the media is probably happy in time. Henson, who stood next to Vogel and urged the players to warm up, did not fall into the trap because the enthusiasm of the players on the pitch made Henson so happy that he forgot the unpleasant moment last night.

Maybe it was Henson's words yesterday that played a role, or maybe the players themselves took the game very seriously. All in all, the players showed excellent form from the warm-up to the individual training today.

Chris. Paul would always yell at the training ground from time to time to remind everyone to focus, which undoubtedly improved the quality of the whole training.

Since the Pacers had just finished a back-to-back, Henson didn't want to drag out practice for too long today. Even if you have a badge that speeds up your recovery, you can't use the players as machines.

So, the necessary rest is indispensable. And the excellent form of the players today will undoubtedly allow Henson to give everyone a half-day off with peace of mind.

After the individual training, Henson gathered everyone. The last training that thunder can't move, and at the same time the most important part of daily training, confrontation training, is about to begin.

Before training begins, the players gather to listen to Henson's tactical plan for the next game, and then put it into practice later in training to see if it works.

Henson didn't talk much nonsense about tactical arrangements today, after a season, everyone is very familiar with Henson's offensive routine. So today, Henson only highlighted two points before training began.

"First, pressing the ball, forcing the Heat to make mistakes, and actively fighting all over the court. Second, when you are training, the same person cannot attack for two consecutive rounds. Go ahead, the grouping is the same as before. The sooner it is over, you can also go home early to rest. ”

Henson clapped his hands after speaking, and although the players dispersed, they all looked at each other with a confused expression.

The first point, the pressure on the ball, is very well understood. This kind of infinite switching, pressing passing and receiving, and not allowing the opponent's offense to play smoothly is often played by the Pacers.

The main purpose of this style of defense is to force the opponent to make mistakes in passing and receiving the ball as much as possible, so as to create opportunities for defensive counter-attacks. But the downside is that if the opponent has a good passer and a solid catch-and-shoot point, it's easy to win by messing around.

But the second "the same person can't attack two rounds in a row" makes the players a little confused.

So when it comes to detailed execution, Paul scored a goal in the last round, so even if he gets an open shot opportunity in this round, as long as he shoots, he will be blown off by Henson.

"You've made two rounds in a row, Chris. You should go to your teammates instead of shooting yourself. Again! ”

Henson's strange rule setting was very uncomfortable for the players at first, but after 20 minutes, the Pacers found their way.

After that, because everyone's shot power is very even. So whether you're a league superstar like Paul or Jimmy. Butler, a little transparent who doesn't have much playing time, must try his best to integrate into the offense!

When a player wants to pull away from a single, he may suddenly remember that he had already made one shot in the last round. So, he's going to turn singles into passes. And if everyone else wants to get basketball, they have to find a way to get out of the defense.

And just like that, it wasn't long before Henson saw the effect he longed for: more flowering.

The real multi-point flowering, everyone regardless of the priority of multi-point flowering. In the past, even if the Pacers played more blossoming performances, George and Paul were undoubtedly the top scorers. But in this afternoon's practice, in Silas's statistics, the gap between George, who scored the most points, and Anderson, who scored the lowest, was only 5 points!

"What are you ......" Vogel was puzzled from the beginning, and suddenly realized in the end, and couldn't help but admire Henson a little. But really, if you need your players to play more, you just have to tell them to pass the ball more, so why bother?

"You've got to force the guys to do it all over again and they're going to do it in the game. If you just tell them a tactic, you don't do anything. There are 30 teams in the league, more than I would say tactics. But if you can't implement it, it's a waste of effort. So I just didn't say anything and just forced them to do it. When it comes to the game, I don't need to say, they will naturally go to their teammates. Henson smiled, apparently very happy with the results.

"Alright, guys! That's the end of today's training. Go home and get some rest, don't run around. Tomorrow, I need you to stay that way. ”

"Yes, sir!" The players were in high spirits.

"Very nice! Anderson, Horford, you two stay for a while. Others, go home. Henson waved his hand, and the players disbanded on the spot, ending training early.

Horford and Anderson looked at each other, how did they feel like they were being interviewed by a teacher while studying? Are they making mistakes? Not at all.

The two big centers shrugged their shoulders and followed Henson into his office.

※※※

At around 7 o'clock in the evening of March 26, there was no absence in the Consec Arena, and there was a lot of noise.

Heat vs. Pacers, Big Three vs. Paul and Henson, Third in the East vs. Second in the East...... The highlights of this game can't be said all night, and such a high-profile game has naturally become another national live broadcast event for the Pacers this season.

Today, it is ESPN that gets the right to broadcast live in the United States. Mike. Brin and Chris. Webb was on hand to get a glimpse of the final regular season battle between the two sides.

"After the last Pacers were beaten by the Heat in overtime, I've been waiting for a rematch. To be honest, the game between the two sides was really enjoyable! Hopefully, today, we can see another lore moment appear! "The game hasn't started yet, Chris. Webb was already dancing.

Subsequently, the reporter of the on-site camera gave the much-anticipated Henson. Unlike before, the Pacers used to play the Heat, and basically there would be no reporters in the Pacers' half. But right now, the Pacers are no worse than the Heat.

In the shot, Henson beckons to the training ground. Then, Horford and "Birdman" Anderson, the two centers, obediently walked over.

The two elders bent down and brought their ears to Henson's mouth. Henson gestured with his hand as he spoke. There is no doubt that Henson's pre-match behavior has caused a lot of suspicion.

"What does Coach Henson want to do? Is it the main inside line? Webber craned his neck, but Henson couldn't read his lips with his hands over his mouth.

“...... Do you get it? Think about the video you watched yesterday and get a feel for the location! With that, Henson patted Horford and Anderson on the buttocks, and the two went back to the court to warm up. However, the warm-up items are still just simple shots, and there seems to be nothing different.

At this moment, Henson saw a female reporter who combined youth and maturity and sexiness standing in front of him. If he hadn't been face blind, he might have thought this was An Jiali.

The woman's young face exudes youthful vitality, but the long legs of stepping on high heels and the "girth" of the shirt that almost breaks through the chest reveal a mature atmosphere. Her hair is very professionally coiled back and she looks very smart. At this moment, the woman's blue eyes were staring straight at Henson, and her big red lips were slightly curled.

Looking at this woman, Henson was stunned. Then he slapped his head sharply.

Kristen. Ledlow, huh...... The little intern reporter who was so nervous that he didn't even dare to say anything has been able to appear in a competition like the national live broadcast now?
