"How many post-timeout tactics do you have, dozens, or hundreds, and where do they come from, do they come from your endless creativity, or are they scribbled on napkins in your pockets?"

When I visited Brad at Butler University. At Stevens' time, Henson's barrage of questions was enough to give even the most experienced coaches a headache.

Stevens, however, only smiled and replied lightly.

"I don't know what the numbers are, but I think every time you watch the footage, you learn two tricks. You can improve the tactics of other coaches and use them for your own team, which is when I feel like I've learned the most. ”

As a result, Henson became a workaholic who loved to study the video of the game. He's not just studying his opponents, he's enriching himself. So even though he has won the championship, even if he has become a well-known championship coach in the league, except for quick counterattacks and early attacks, no one can say exactly what style of head coach Henson is. Because many times, he has the shadows of several masters at the same time.

Vicky's ultimate team basketball, the Pacers have. Thibodeau's "if it's like leaving", the Pacers also played. The 7-second offense that made Phoenix famous that year was also able to play on the Pacers.

And today, in the face of the tenacious Trail Blazers, facing the desperate moment of trailing by 2 points by 5.4 seconds, Henson laid out another tactic that surprised Vogel and made Stevens smile and shake his head.

In the last 5.4 seconds, the defending champion was two points behind. This may be the most stressful time the Pacers have experienced so far this season! "Reggie. Miller's eyes never left the Pacers bench, and he couldn't wait more than Henson. Joe was able to lay out a stunner-ball tactic that was suitable enough.

The demands on both the players and the coach are very high. If the coach's tactics are not clearly arranged, then there will be no chance in the decisive moment. But if an opportunity arises and the player doesn't have a big heart and can't grasp it, it's a wasted effort.

And on the other side, Terry. Stotts was also nervously writing and drawing with a tactical board. What he needs to do is guess the opponent's lore point and then respond accordingly.

The short timeout was not enough for the male fans to pee, but it made everyone present sweat in their palms and their hearts racing.

"Beep" A huge electronic beep roared, shocking everyone. Henson raised his hand and placed it in the middle, and then the players put their hands on the back of the Chinese manager's hand one by one.

"One, two, three......" Henson shouted.

“pacers！” The players then chimed in and stepped onto the pitch!

"Chris. Paul, Paul. George, Ray. Allen, Yi Jianlian and Horford. Coach Henson fielded a lineup with a wide range of shots, and all five of them could shoot from a distance! It seems that Coach Henson doesn't want overtime, he wants the team to decide the winner with a three-point shot! "Reggie. Miller rubbed his hands excitedly, this lineup is just too aggressive!

"Let's see who Coach Henson ultimately chooses to execute the final shot. Needless to say, Paul is the top name for the Pacers. George has also been outstanding from beyond the three-point line this season, and he was known for hitting the game against the Hornets. Thunder. Allen and Horford are the Pacers' two most stable three-pointers, and of course, if Coach Henson comes up with a surprise for Yi Jianlian to execute this shot, it is not impossible. Van Gundy analysed Henson's shot selections, but after a wave of analysis, the conclusion was inconclusive.

God knows who of these five people will stand up and shoot!

"Can it work, this tactic we have only encountered for a short time, and we have only practiced it for ten minutes!" Vogel muttered softly in Henson's ear.

"That's why Stotts couldn't think of my strategy!" Henson replied to his assistant, but his eyes were fixed on the basketball court.

Yi Jianlian stood outside the bounds and prepared to serve the sideline ball, 5.4 seconds, everyone on the court was ready to fight!

"Toot toot!" The referee blew the whistle and handed the ball to Yi Jianlian. Lillard stealthily grabbed Paul's jersey, and Matthews prevented his former teammate George from getting no space to shoot.

But no one expected that Yi Jianlian would pass the ball to Horford! The moment Horford received the ball, the number of the timer on the rebound began to decrease!

Horford was in danger and handed the ball to Paul. At the same time, George went around the bottom left corner and made the wall for George. Aaron suddenly ran backwards and ran wildly towards the right horn.

George's run drew the defensive attention of the Trail Blazers players as they swooped. When Allen ran, he found that Horford and Yi Jianlian were actually standing on the right side. Aaron also ran to the right.

In this way, the offensive space is not suppressed very small

"No, it can't be!" And yet see Ray. After Allen passed between Yi Jianlian and Horford, Stotts shook his head in horror.

Isn't that a ...... Elevator Door Tactics!

"Elevator doors! Hahaha, I really can't imagine that Coach Henson actually put Mark. Jackson's elevator doors move to the Bankers Living Arena! "Reggie. Miller jumped to his feet, and Henson's choice was indeed too unexpected.

Vogel finally understands why Henson has been working on elevator door tactics these days. It turned out that he didn't do it because of Mark. Jackson, not because he wants to guard against others, but because he wants to make this tactic his own!

Henson's elevator door is very flexible, and instead of letting the point guard hold the ball directly, he jumped directly to the top five to hold the ball. And the place where the door is closed is no longer the front, but the side. It turns out that elevator door tactics work from any angle!

There are absorptions, there are changes, and that's why Henson was able to gain a foothold in the league!

French striker Nicolas. Batum wanted to reach for Ray. Allen's jersey, but Yi Jianlian and Horford were close to each other.

“bang！” Batum was "turned away" by the two!

Borrowed an elevator door tactic and Ray. Allen gets an open shot. Paul's delivery was so timely that it didn't even take a 0.1 second to delay. After all, the most lacking thing for pacers right now is time!

Thunder. Allen catches the ball, looks at the frame, and shoots, and Batum finally squeezes over from Yi Jianlian and Horford, stretching out his arms eager to interfere with Ray. Allen's last throw. But it didn't help at all, because Ray . Aaron had already made a shot before Batum interfered.

"Ray, I'll want you to do the final attack later!"

Dozens of seconds before when Henson gave Ray. When Aaron said this, the veteran shooter was a little surprised. After all, he knows very well that he is no longer the core member of the original Big Three period. He's just a backup veteran, that's all.

But because of this, Ray. Allen didn't want to live up to Henson's expectations.

With the Pacers, Henson gave him the consistent minutes he promised. In the Pacers, Henson also promised Ray. An important tactical position that Aaron craves. In the Pacers, Ray. Aaron felt the respect he had lost in Boston. And now, Ray. Allen is going to use this shot to respond to this respect!

The basketball has a high arc and flies fast. The entire Pacers fans in the stadium had raised their arms in the air. Allen maintained the position of the moment of the shot, standing in place.

The red light on the "beep" rebound was the first to turn on, and a second later, the basketball burned through the net with this red "firework"!

"Boom!" At that moment, Henson felt the entire banker's life arena vibrate! There seemed to be a huge wave behind him, almost knocking her to the ground!

On the court, Ray. Aaron raised his arms and closed his eyes, enjoying his own heroic moment!

At this time, he was calm and composed, and he had long since faded from the Bucks' December 16, 1999 game against the Heat. Aaron's youth when he completed the lore for the first time in his career.

At this time, the camera showed the unexpected Henson, only to see the Chinese coach kneeling on one knee and slamming the floor with his right fist! This damn tug-of-war, he and the Pacers survived!

"It ended the battle with a crazy elevator door, and Coach Henson's tactical arrangement was really unpredictable. Thunder. Allen's last shot was also very cold-blooded, and the top coach paired with the top shooter made the Pacers invincible! "Reggie. Miller's voice was hoarse, but he was still yelling.

Terry. Stotts shook his head, no wonder Carlisle sent a text message to himself before today's game.

And Henson. Joe fights, and until the last second, don't feel like you've won, Terry. ”
