The heat and Pacers played up to the fans' expectations. It's hard for the Pacers to get their 22nd straight win. In the first quarter of the game, James, Wade and Bosh showed their good form, especially James, who is proficient in three-pointers, breaks, assists, rebounds and defense.

After Kobe Bryant grew old and Howard was completely lost in Los Angeles, he said that James was the first person in the active league and there was no problem at all. James alone can represent a tactic, and the name of the tactic is "give the ball to James".

Henson admits that James can indeed crush a team on his own, but he can assure that team will not be his Indiana Pacers!

Other teams may be led by James' terrifying attacking power, but Henson won't do that. To solve the crisis brought about by James, there is another way than to frantically pile up defenders on the inside

After the start of the second quarter, the Heat's perimeter defense continued to be tough. Now, whether it is Paul, George, and Green who started the game, or Stephenson and Ray who came off the bench. Neither Allen nor Leonard have an easy way to score.

Compared to the first quarter of the game, the Heat's defense in the second quarter was a little rougher. As a result, the Heat began to foul more than just now, and a technical foul Bosh received for yelling at the referee was enough to represent the intensity of the game! At the same time, it also adds a lot of gunpowder flavor to this game.

The smell of gunpowder between the two sides is getting stronger and stronger, so the matchup between the Heat and the Pacers, even if there is no relationship between 22 consecutive wins, can be extremely intense.

Of course, don't think that the Pacers will have a chance to take advantage of the increase in the number of fouls committed by the Heat. In fact, when the Heat increase the intensity of their physical confrontation, both sides will suffer. The Heat have a strong confrontation on this side, are you willing to suffer as a player?

Therefore, the Pacers' defensive moves are getting bigger and bigger, and Wade and James have won several free throws with this opportunity.

With just over three minutes left in the second quarter, Battier and West even received technical fouls for faking a fall. The referee's whistle sounded incessantly, and the scene was chaotic for a while.

But that's exactly what the Heat want to see, and the Pacers can't organize an efficient counterattack to close the score!

In the final moments of the second quarter, James won in a mess, hitting a three-point shot that pierced the heart of the Pacers.

It was James' second three-pointer of the game, and it was also his second three-pointer. Once an athlete of this level has a good hand, there is no weakness at all.

53-47, after three technical fouls, the Miami Heat still maintained their advantage.

In his half-time interview, Henson's question remained silly, "Why should I worry about the team not winning 22 in a row? If we don't win 22 in a row, will we suddenly go from the top of the league to the bottom of the league!? Besides, the game was only half played. If the Heat can lead us at halftime, we can't lead the Heat at halftime? ”

Henson glared at the ESPN sideline reporter in disgust, if he hadn't seen that the other party was a little girl, he would have turned on the "swear talk mode" a long time ago.

?? Henson doesn't want to think about what happened in the first half right now, and he doesn't want to do anything early on. The game hasn't been finished yet, so what kind of knot is there?

Intermission was a good time.

Indeed, Henson admits that the first half of the game was won by the Heat. But the strategy for the second half, Henson has already considered!

※※※

Back in the dressing room, Henson saw the players gasping for air. There is no doubt that the strong confrontation of the Heat in the first half of the game put a lot of pressure on the Pacers.

But it doesn't matter, Henson is very comfortable with the team's fitness reserves. What's more, the strong confrontation is mutual, the Pacers are tired, and the Heat are not much better.

After the players had caught their breath for a minute or two, Henson tapped the big whiteboard in the dressing room with a marker. It's always been Henson's habit and he likes to let his players rest for a few minutes before talking about tactics. Because if you rush to talk about tactics when the players are very tired, the players will not listen.

"How did you feel about the Heat's performance in the first half? Is there anything the media boast about? Henson didn't rush to draw tactics, but opened the conversation as if chatting.

"Better than the media says, sir. But don't worry, we'll get the game done in the second half. "Paul, as a player leader, is usually the first to answer Henson's questions.

"Well, indeed. James' three-pointers, Wade's breakaway, Bosh's shooting and their tight perimeter defense are really doing a great job. But there is one point, their interior defense is really spicy! Henson said, biting off the marker. Everyone listened intently, and the point was coming!

"Because of the first half, the Heat's perimeter defense was tight and didn't give us many opportunities to cut in and break through. So, it also masks the fact that they are weak on the inside. So at the beginning of the second half, David, Al, I want you to sit directly in it and attack the inside! ”

Henson said as he drew two crosses on the whiteboard, and the two big crosses represented West and Horford!

This season, the Pacers' top scorer is Paul. George, the second scorer was Chris. Paul. In addition to these two guys, Ray. Allen, Stephenson, Leonard, Danny. Green and even Jimmy. Butler has played well on the offensive end.

After all, the Pacers' talent pool on the outside is too rich and rich, so rich that the coaches of the other 29 teams are blushing.

Therefore, it is not an exaggeration to say that the Pacers are a team that focuses on outside offense. After all, in a system that emphasizes quick counter-attacks, it's impossible for big men to get too many chances.

And so it is true that this season has played so far, David. West and Al. Horford's stats aren't too pretty.

West is averaging just 12 points per game this season, the lowest since the 04-05 season. And Horford, as an All-Star interior player, averaged less than 14 points per game, and his contribution is indeed not outstanding.

In most games, West and Horford's scoring has been of a supporting nature. When he can't open up the situation, Henson likes to let West's low singles "break the ice". Horford, on the other hand, is more often operating as an anti-aircraft turret, with only a handful of low-post singles.

Because of Henson's tactical requirements and system reasons, Horford and West, two All-Star interior players, sacrificed their stats. But the two have no complaints about this and still serve the team wholeheartedly.

But today, Henson doesn't plan to let these two All-Star-caliber interior players hold back any longer. He wants to completely liberate them, use the interior line as the main point of attack, and tear apart the Heat's interior defense, which is better than nothing!

It also makes fans all over the world take a good look, sometimes, the average data per game does not tell the true strength of a player!

Sit directly inside and attack the basket. Spoelstra put all the defensive focus on the perimeter, so Henson jumped over the perimeter and attacked the Heat directly!

Horford and Westmore clasped their hands and nodded slightly. God knows, how long these two guys have been waiting for this moment.

"In the first half, the Heat played at the high level they deserved, both offensively and defensively! While a victory for the Heat could have curtailed the creation of a league record. But even so, the Heat's performance deserved such a victory! ”

Before the start of the second half, most commentators believed that the Pacers' winning streak was coming to an end due to the Heat's brilliance.

But just 30 seconds later, the commentators who had just yelled "The Pacers are finished" all shut up. Horford dunked with a beautiful pair of hands and humiliated Bosh!

"Hahahaha, don't think the defending champions can be beaten so easily. Coach Henson has a trick, no, it seems that the Pacers are going to focus on the interior in the second half! "Mike. Brin laughed, he was one of the few commentators who hadn't just watched the Pacers.

As soon as he came up, when everyone thought that Paul was going to play the block again, he directly fed the ball to Horford, who was going to play the position.

But even then, the Heat didn't give Horford enough attention. They thought Horford was sitting in the low post.

The intention of all the Heat players is to block the passing lanes, including Bosh. As a result, Horford could feel the pressure coming from behind him.

So, Horford used his nimble steps to turn around Bosh like a stake, and walked into the basket with both hands to dunk.

Until the moment the basket made a loud noise, everyone on the Heat team didn't seem to react.

What's going on? Paul, George and Green don't attack, let Horford attack?

"See? It's easy. Seeing Horford score easily, Henson smiled and sat back on the bench.

Spoelstra and LeBron. James's show time, that's it!

Offense for offense, that's how Henson dealt with James today. He wants to see if it is James's efficiency or the efficiency of his two All-Star interior lines!

If you start to fear a player and do whatever it takes to limit him. So, this team has actually lost more than half of it.?

Henson knew this well, so he didn't put more effort into James, but found a way to solve his own problems.

But Spoelstra, not necessarily able to think of this level. Will he change tactics in order to limit West and Horford?

Henson is so confident that he's already starting to lay down Spoelstra
