The Heat's fourth-quarter comeback was fierce, and everyone knew how important it was to get a match point for this series.

If the Heat can get a match point on the road, there is no doubt that they will have a better advantage in terms of psychology and momentum when they return to the American Airlines arena in the next game.

Henson said that so far in the series, the two sides have basically exhausted their hole cards, and what they are fighting for is morale and resilience. Just thinking about it shows how high the Heat's morale would be if they returned to Miami with the match point.

But Henson's tactics and lineup allowed the Pacers to keep the situation firmly in control. Every time the Heat is about to get on the rise, the Pacers will always stop the bleeding in time to end the possibility of the Heat playing an offensive climax.

At the beginning of the fourth quarter, Mike. Miller and James each made two three-pointers to narrow the gap to 10 points.

But soon, Paul poured cold water on the heat with a decisive three-point pursuit.

Subsequently, James' consecutive breakthroughs created kills, allowing the Heat to close the gap by 1 point and 1 point. However, David. West and Horford continued to stabilize the margin with continuous inside offense.

Spoelstra has gone through a number of substitutions and tactical changes, but has never been able to shake off the Pacers' dominance. No matter what he does, the margin just can't get close to single digits. A deep sense of powerlessness permeated Spoelstra's body, and the Filipino understood the true meaning of the word "dominating the game".

As the game progressed, Mike. Brin also began to marvel at Henson's ability to control the game. When the Heat start scoring in a row, Henson will always call a timeout, or replace someone to continue playing. In short, there will be no inaction on his part.

And every adjustment he made was able to contain the Heat's counterattack. Truth be told, Henson and Spoelstra couldn't be more different in terms of their ability to control the game.

When commentating on the game, Mike. Brin couldn't help but wonder. If there was a team where his coach could compete with Henson and the players were comparable to the Pacers, what would those two teams look like if they were to fight?

But just thinking about it, Mike. Brin stopped. Because he found that the duel he was hoping for might really come true.

The San Antonio Spurs advanced to the Western Conference Finals yesterday. Pacers vs Spurs, Henson. Joe vs Popovich? Mike. Brin shook his head, the picture is so beautiful, let's focus on the present!

※※※

David. West withstood Bosh's onslaught, and Bosh turned and walked inside, only to find Al. Horford clipped up.

The Pacers' interior defense is perfect, Horford and West are the kind of players with high ball intelligence, and it will be difficult for any team to score on the Pacers' head by playing the inside.

Staring at the TV, the white-haired old man lifted the glasses on the bridge of his nose. Henson's tweaks have left him in great awe, and of course, not without their drawbacks.

"Chris. Bosh missed a strong attack under the basket, and he pleaded to the referee that West had committed a foul. But there is no doubt that the referee ignored Bosh's actions! ”

On TV, Mike. Brin's voice is still passionate. Even anyone who knows the ball can see that there is no hope for the Heat in this game.

"Which side do you think will win? I mean, the whole series. At this time, next to the white-haired old man, a burly man asked.

"How do I know which side will win? I'm not a shopper. The white-haired old man replied angrily, and then picked up a glass of red wine on the table.

"I heard from the team doctor that you should drink less. You can't just pour a glass of juice just to watch a ball game? Or a hot glass of milk? ”

The old man didn't pay attention to the young man's obstruction, but buried his nose in the mouth of the cup and took a deep breath, "I'm very healthy, I won't retire if you retire." ”

"Roar! Chris. Paul's breakaway shot was wonderful! He found David in the cracks. West, West was also unceremonious, and directly took a big step to dunk and win! Look at West's expression as he looks up to the sky and roars, haha, Haslem and Battier are definitely not in a good mood at this time! At this moment, the voice on the TV suddenly increased.

"Damn, Mike. Doesn't Bryn's throat hurt? Shouting so loudly scares me. The old man shook his head, then took a sip of wine.

"The Heat's interior line is simply vulnerable." The young man muttered, unlike the old man, even in the face of the wonderful camera, there was no expression on his face.

"That's because the Heat's pace hasn't been brought up, and Henson has a very good selection of people who can maintain both height and speed on the court. If the Pacers were a traditional twin-tower team, trust me, once the Heat play fast, the Pacers' defense won't work at all. And West and Horford, they both belong to the kind of very sensitive interior line. ”

As he spoke, the game on the TV had reached the last two minutes. David. When West saw Battier on the court, he naturally would not let go of this opportunity to "torture" his old opponent. He hit a turnaround jumper to give the Pacers an 83-69 lead with 14 points left two minutes before the end of the game.

This means that the Heat barely closed the gap throughout the fourth quarter. At the beginning of the fourth quarter, the margin was 16 points, and at the end of the fourth quarter, the margin was 14 points, and the despair was written in Spoelstra's face, and Henson's statement that he would take the game away in the third quarter was almost a reality.

After that, James and Wade stepped up. In a moment of crisis, Wade and James still scored two goals, but as at any moment in this quarter, every time the Heat looked like they were going to get up, bad luck always came!

Or Paul, who did not lose face in front of his two good brothers. A three-pointer at a critical moment once again made the Heat fall. And with 33 seconds left in the game, the score of 88-73 was enough to end the suspense.

After that, Spoelstra called a halt to the game. Mike. Brin shook his head, garbage time was up.

"This guy's control of the game is really not average." The old man took another sip of wine, then picked up the glass and shook it gently.

"So, do you think the Pacers can win the game?"

"I didn't say it, you said it yourself."

"I know you're trying to take the opportunity to educate me, to tell me not to take it lightly, to tell me not to look down on any team. But you really can't lie, Pop. Look at the look of anticipation on your face, I don't believe you're looking forward to a showdown with Spoelstra. Admit it, your expected opponent is Henson. Joe! "Tim. Duncan turned his head to look at Popovich, his face still the same.

At this moment, an electronic beep came from the television. Duncan glanced at the TV, 91-77, and the Heat lost badly. And it can be said that it has been lost since the third quarter.

"Yes, I'm quite looking forward to it with Henson. Joe met. But I really don't know which team is going to make the cut, you know, LeBron is a great athlete. Let's hope Henson can lead his team to the Finals. It's been a long time since we've met such an interesting opponent. ”

"You think a jerk is funny?"

Hearing this, Popovich glared at Duncan, "In the mouth of the media, I am also a man with Henson. Joe-like bastard, Tim. ”

"Gentlemen, here comes your cookies." Just then, Popovich's wife, Irene, walked into the living room with a plate of freshly baked cookies.

On the sofa in the living room, Popovich in pajamas and Duncan in casual clothes are sitting. The two made an appointment to watch the game together today.

"It's my cookies, Erin, not us. Tim can't eat this kind of thing, you know, he's got to stay in shape. Popovich looked at Duncan playfully.

"Oh, it's okay to eat a piece or two once in a while. Eat, Tim. Erin smiled sympathetically.

"Forget it, let's wait for the offseason. Once you touch these things, you can't help but want to eat a few more pieces. I don't want to mess with my physical condition, after all, our next opponent," Duncan said, looking at the TV. At this time, Henson was being interviewed by ESPN's beautiful reporter.

"After all, our next opponent is quite strong. Right, Pop? ”

3-2, defending champion Indiana Pacers got the match point. Coach Henson once again executed his plan flawlessly and took control of the game once again.

Of course, he didn't know yet. I was once again targeted by others
