"Pachulia wasn't a dirty player, he just tried to defend the ball." Durant defended his teammates in an interview with reporters, "It's not intentional at all, Henson shouldn't have accused my teammates with unfounded things. ”

"Does Henson find his own game a little boring? Pachulia was right, he had better play his own game. Otherwise, when the time comes, he won't even be able to win the Eastern Conference. His kind of weak guy only deserves to play weak games. "Draymond. Naturally, Green would not let go of this opportunity to fight with Henson.

"I don't want to make any judgments, I just think people should focus on their own things." Clay. Although Thompson didn't say anything drastic, his words revealed his dissatisfaction with Henson.

Sitting on the plane as it was about to take off, Henson smiled and shook his head at the Warriors players' responses to him.

"Looks like I'm annoying the whole Warriors."

"They're teammates and they're playing the playoffs, so it's normal to exonerate Pachuria. So, don't be angry. Beside Henson, McMillan comforted.

Bird had given orders to the Pacers' coaching staff to keep an eye on Henson's mood at all times. If Henson gets a heart attack again because he's angry, ask them. That's why McMillan immediately appeased Henson.

"Angry? No, I'm not angry at all. Do you know what is the most embarrassing thing about a person? It's that even if you're very angry, no one reacts to your anger. But now you see, the Warriors are almost all out of the team, which shows that they still take me seriously. Angry? It's too late for me to be happy! ”

"But you ...... do that"

"I know that in the eyes of a lot of people, I don't have to do it. Like the Warriors guys said, I'm just going to focus on my own business. But it is precisely because of this that Pachulia kind of player is so arrogant! Someone should stand up and condemn their actions, others are afraid to tell the truth in public because of the loss of face or the fear of fines, but I don't accept that. This time it's Leonard, and next time, God knows if Pachulia will reach out to us with a black hand. Do you really have to wait for your player to get injured before condemning him? ”

Henson said, changing his tone, "Wrong is wrong, and even in this cruel alliance, some things are not allowed. Am I doing less to offend the League and the public? Since no one but Popovich wants to speak out, I'll do it. Anyway, I should get used to being a wicked person. I'm just going to make a big deal out of it and get the league and others to take notice. ”

With that, Henson turned off his phone and didn't watch the news again. The plane is about to take off, and there is still a big battle waiting for him over there in Cleveland.

Before McMillan joined the Pacers, he also thought Henson was an out-and-out villain. But after talking to Henson today, McMillan felt that Henson had really suffered a great misunderstanding.

Is he a villain? No, he's probably the best coach in the league who knows what black and what is white. But even with so many misunderstandings, Henson is still doing the right thing in his own way, without being assimilated by the alliance.

The black coach turned his head to look at the guy next to him, your success, not without reason......

"What city are you in?"

"Cleveland."

"Oh, I know, there's a Cavaliers there."

This conversation can happen anywhere in the world. When it comes to Cleveland, the first thing that comes to mind for people around the world is the Cavaliers and James.

Cleveland, a small city just 20 minutes out of the city, is indeed not comparable to Miami, the "capital of the Americas".

It snows in Cleveland for about five months a year, and the once-glorious city is just as cold as the climate.

In the past, when James chose to go to Miami for a huddle, Henson looked down on him.

But now, looking at the streets of Cleveland, at the empty streets, at the ruined factories, Henson couldn't help but ask himself.

"If it were me, would I choose the sunny beaches of Miami or the rundown of Cleveland?"

Henson found himself unable to answer that question. Therefore, he has no way to condemn James for leaving Miami in the first place.

And in this city with an extremely high crime rate of only about 400,000 people, the only people left are the knights and James.

What is the concept of 400,000 people in a city? According to Henson's online information, the population of one of Asia's largest communities in Guiyang, Guizhou, China, exceeds 500,000.

In other words, there are more people in a neighborhood than in a city in Cleveland combined.

This is Cleveland, dilapidated, cold and hopeful, and this is where Henson will be next.

After leading the players to the hotel, the Pacers' bus was frantically besieged by reporters. As soon as Henson got out of the car, the reporters pounced on him like hungry wolves seeing their prey.

There's no doubt that the war of words between Henson and the Warriors players has been heated up.

But this time, Henson didn't talk in front of reporters. He knows exactly when to trash-talk and when to get down to business. It's Cleveland, and if you don't prepare for the game, the Pacers won't be able to eat and walk around.

This loss was already suffered by the Warriors last year. And the price they paid for it was an O'Brien Cup.

So this time, Henson didn't ram the reporters. As soon as I settled into the hotel, I began to arrange the training plan for the afternoon. He knows very well that LeBron. James is not the type of person who will give up easily. In tomorrow's game, the Cavaliers are bound to make a pounce. Whether it can withstand it or not will become a turning point in this round of the series.

After the players took a nap, Henson led everyone to the Quickloan Center arena for training. Henson remained focused on his own business and was not distracted by the Warriors' players' riaison. As a professional "troll", Henson knows. Only victory is your capital to spray people.

During this afternoon's confrontational training, Henson made a very strange request to everyone.

"Paul, George and Antetokounmpo, I'm not going to allow you to shoot this afternoon this practice."

When Henson said this, everyone was confused. As the three leading stars of the Pacers, they can't actually shoot in practice?

'You can defend, you can pass, you can break through, you can even just sleep on the pitch. But you can't shoot unless you're facing an empty basket. So, other lads. Let go of your hands and feet, and the time has come for you to step forward. ”

The players looked at each other one by one, scratching the back of their heads in confusion. Henson's request was strange, but once training began, everyone did it.

Since Antetokounmpo, CP3 and George can't shoot without empty seats, their strong individual abilities naturally have nowhere to go. As a result, other role players have to figure out how to solve problems on their own.

So, Henson saw Bogdanovic bravely make three-point shots again and again, saw Oladipo charge like a leader, and saw Brooke. Lopez's long-lost strong inside play saw Stephenson's smart breakthrough and Siakam's aggressive ...... on both ends of the offensive and defensive ends

Throughout the training session, the attacking desire of the role players was mobilized. When they can no longer rely on their own stars, their power will be maximized.

In the end, at the end of the confrontational session, Paul, George and Antetokounmpo had 0 points, 5 points and 2 points, respectively, while Oladipo's 13 points and Bogdanovic's 15 points were the highest points for both teams.

Seeing the results of such training, Henson smiled with satisfaction.

"Remember the feeling of this training match, tomorrow I need all of you to bring that form to the ring. As long as we win tomorrow's game, believe me, we'll be in the grand final. Alright, that's it for today's training. Everybody go back and get some rest, and no one is allowed to go out tonight. ”

Henson said that, disbanded the team, and that was the end of today's work.

McMillan walked over to Becky with some confusion. Harmon came to him, he really couldn't understand Henson's behavior.

"Why?"

"What, why?" Harmon looked at McMillan in surprise.

"Why doesn't he let the stars shoot and instead let the role players dictate the game?"

Becky. Harmon smiled, it seemed that McMillan didn't know Henson well enough.

"Tomorrow, the Clevelands are on their backs. Therefore, there is a high probability that they may have a big explosion. In that case, Paul, George, and Janis alone would not be able to resist the power of the Cavaliers. But what if we also play a collective outburst performance? ”

Listen to Becky. Harmon said this, and McMillan nodded thoughtfully. Today, Henson has put all the role players up with confidence and form. By tomorrow, even if the Cavaliers have a collective outbreak, the Pacers will be able to handle it.

The guy seemed to be dismissive of the knight, but in fact, he was well prepared. With a verbal battle with the Warriors players and a battle with the Cavaliers, Henson is a veritable two-front battle.

McMillan had that sentence in his mind at this time, and his success was not without reason.
