Jason. Kidd has never seen a team like this.

A team where every player on the pitch can play and is fully armed to the teeth. At this point, the high-profile battle had reached the last four minutes of the fourth quarter. On the surface, the Nets still have hope of chasing the score back, after all, the margin has been hovering in the range of 9 to 12 points.

But Kidd is well aware that his team will be unlucky in this game. Because the margin hovered between 9 and 12 points, it had lasted for three full quarters.

Since the end of the first quarter, the Nets have never been effective at narrowing the margin. Although the Pacers were unable to widen the margin again, the situation was firmly controlled by the Pacers.

Henson, to be exact, is firmly in control.

Every timeout, every substitution, every shout he shouts has an immediate effect. Kidd considers himself a very controlling figure when he was a player. But that's because Kidd always has the ball in his hands.

Henson, on the other hand, managed to control the game from the sidelines. Before he became head coach, Kidd had heard a lot about Henson. But only today he knows that those are not legends, but facts!

"The Nets players aren't going to give up yet, they're just one step closer to closing the score! Pierce picks up DeLong. Williams' pass, shot! ”

"Bang!" Kenny. As soon as Smith finished speaking, the sound of striking iron rang out. Pierce missed again, and with Leonard's defense, Pierce's every attack struggled.

The Pacers immediately launched a fast break, and their fast pace tortured the Nets' defense. But just when the Nets' defense all shrank into the restricted area, Chris. Paul stealthily distributed the ball to Al at the top of the arc outside the three-point line. Horford.

At this time, because the Nets contracted too hard, Horford was left unattended!

With a three-pointer, Horford extended the margin to 13 points. Kidd shook his head, what did he say? Every player on the Pacers can play when they get on the court. If he had to say it, Kidd had to admit it.

The Indiana Pacers are more like a "Big Five" team!

"If the Nets lose this game again, their record will be 2-4. Only 2 wins in 6 games, Billy. Kim won't be happy with this outcome. ”

Barkley was right, at this time in the luxury private room of the Nets general manager Billy . Kim is already on the verge of collapse. What a "five-year championship plan", what a "Pacers challenger", these names sound so loud.

But the result? On the court, the Nets and the Pacers are not at the same level at all! In the arena, any false hype will be exposed.

Horford's three-pointer was a signal, and since then, the passion of the Nets players has faded. Because they know very well that this game is already difficult to win again.

In the end, both sides fielded full bench lineups. And in the last European moment, Henson didn't even go to Antetokounmpo, but to Yi Jianlian. Arguably, this is already the greatest respect for the Nets and the New York fans at the scene.

At the end of the game, the score on the big screen was fixed at 107-99. It doesn't seem like a big difference of 8 points. But as long as anyone who watched the game knows, the score does not faithfully reflect the scene of the game.

After the electronic beep sounded, Henson was immediately booed by the New York fans.

"Looks like you're in big trouble today, Henson." Vogel listened to the boos and joked with Henson, "New York fans, I wish I could kill you." ”

"No," Henson shook his head with a relaxed expression, "It's not that I'm in trouble, it's Billy. Kim is in big trouble. The so-called 'Big Five' lineup he boasted to New York fans didn't seem to live up to New Yorkers' expectations. ”

That's right, the New York fans weren't booing Henson, but asking Billy. Kim expressed displeasure.

"To be honest, it wasn't as exciting as we thought it would be. In anticipation, the Nets should fight the Pacers until the last minute. However, the Pacers had already taken control of the entire court at the start of the second quarter. Now, let's take a look at the stats sheet for this game. ”

"On the Pacers' side, all five starters scored in double figures. George had 24 points, Paul had 18 points and eight assists, Leonard and West had 15 points each, and Horford had 13 points. On the bench, Antetokounmpo, Jimmy. Butler and Stephenson each contributed six points, and it seems that the Pacers' bench shots are very evenly distributed. Okay, let's take a look at the Nets ......."

Barkley couldn't wait to pull up the Nets' stat sheet. Kim's arrogant lies will be exposed in these real figures!

"It's a shame that only three players on the Nets team scored in double figures, and no one scored 20. Delon and Joe. Johnson scored 17 points and Lopez added 15. But Garnett and Pierce, combined, scored less than 15 points. On the bench, Kirilenko regretted 'swallowing eggs', and Terry only contributed 2 rebounds on 0-of-4 shooting...... Okay, I'm done, this is the data that the Nets played with a 100 million yuan lineup! Needless to say, everyone should know which team is doing better. ”

Kenny. Smith shook his head, and this time, even he didn't know how to refute Barkley's big mouth, "Yes, the Pacers seem to be able to suppress the Nets at every position." This kind of suppression even continued from the starters to the bench! And the Pacers' multi-point performance did make the Nets' defense at a loss. ”

'Coach Henson said he would give people a glimpse of what the real Big Five are, and now he's done it. Finally, O'Neill summed up the game.

After the game, Billy. Sure enough, Kim was besieged by reporters. Although as the general manager of the team, he does not have to attend press conferences. But in the players' tunnel, it is still inevitable to be caught by reporters.

"You squandered so much money from your boss this summer, is that what happened?"

"Billy. Mr. Kim, do you still think the Nets are a team capable of competing for a championship? ”

"When you lost to the Pacers in the preseason, you said the Nets weren't in the groove yet. So what now? How do you explain this? ”

These problems though make Billy. Kim was annoyed, but it wasn't too sharp. It wasn't until a reporter from Indianapolis asked, Billy. Jin knew what it meant to be defeated.

"After this game, you shouldn't dare to challenge Coach Henson's authority again, right? Mr. General Manager? ”

It's a shame for a team general manager to be compared to a head coach. Because in terms of rank, the general manager is the boss of the head coach.

However Billy. Kim was not only compared to the head coach, but even became the one who challenged the "authority". There is no doubt that this question makes Billy. Kim was humiliated.

Although angry, Billy. Jin didn't even reply a word, and left directly.

Because in the face of failure, any justification is futile.

At the same time, in the luxurious media reception room of the Barclays Center, the Chinese coach, who had a relaxed face before the game, was in full swing at this time.

"I said, I'll let you know the gap, but you don't believe it. It's good now? Who still has questions? Facing a group of sad-faced New York media below, Henson smiled and spread his hands.

"Coach Henson, what do you think of Billy. Is the lineup that Kim formed this summer really reasonable? "Finally a New York media outlet spoke, but the gun wasn't aimed at Henson.

It can be seen that after this game, Billy. Kim has been so disgusted in the New York media that he has managed to surpass Henson.

"A lineup that can win is reasonable, and a lineup that can't win is not reasonable. Hopefully, Billy. The lineup that Mr. Kim has created can be reasonable in the next game. Well, that's the end of today's press conference. The next time we meet, hopefully you've found your own rhythm. ”

Spike. Lee filmed Henson as a bastard at the press conference, and if it had been before, he, a pure New Yorker, would have hated Henson to death.

But given the trumped-up accusations Henson received and the sweat he put into the game, Spike. Li suddenly felt that this Chinese coach didn't seem to be too much at all...... At least compared to those vexatious reporters, he is already a real gentleman.

"It's over so soon? I thought you had a lot to say to Billy. Kim said it. Vogel was taken aback to see Henson walk out of the media reception room within minutes.

"There's no need for that, and the weak, there's nothing to say. Let's go, with the same hatred of New Yorkers as ever, let's go home! ”
