Just like Jeff. As Van Gundy said, until the electronic beep sounded throughout the game, Thibodeau's Bulls still couldn't recover their decline. Rose hit all three three-pointers at the critical moment, burying the Bulls' last chance.

So, at Conseco Arena, the young Pacers surprisingly and unbelievably defeated the Bulls, who had won them by as many as 19 points!

And after this game, the Bulls, who originally hoped to get rid of the Pacers, were overtaken by the Pacers instead. The Pacers regained the top three in the East, while the Chicago Bulls dropped to fourth.

Although there is still a long way to go in the regular season, the current standings don't decide anything. But the Pacers' ability to defeat a playoff opponent like the Chicago Bulls in the playoffs is a source of great joy for Indianapolis fans who have been on losing for four years.

93-85, the score of the two teams is not too high, because the whole game is almost all defensive battles. The only difference is that the Pacers' offense played smoothly in the final moments, while the Bulls' offense was slow to explode because of Thibodeau's inadequacy.

"At the end of the game, the Indiana Pacers got their revenge by crushing the Bulls at home to make it four wins in a row!"

"Jeff, how would you rate this peculiar game? The course of the game was lethargic to watch, but the key moments were exciting for the fans. "Reggie. Miller threw the question to Van Gundy, and he saw that Van Gundy was holding back what he wanted to say.

"Yes, it was a peculiar game. The defensive battle in the middle seems to bring fans back to the era when defense was paramount. And the game between the two sides at the end of the fourth quarter turned the game into ups and downs. Both teams played well in this game, they held each other out. It's just that in the final moments, Coach Henson's on-court scheduling was clearly superior, which is why the Pacers were able to emerge as the ultimate winners. ”

As a former NBA coach, Van Gundy sees it clearly. At the last moment, Henson, whether it was an offensive or defensive arrangement, just strangled the Bulls' life. Thibodeau's inaction on the offensive end led to the Bulls once again being dumb at critical moments.

The Asian, who went from scout to coach in just three years, may be as magical as the big, yellow-skinned man Van Gundy is best known for.

At the end of the game, when Thibodeau and Henson shook hands, their expressions were not very good. After all, after losing this game, Thibodeau will definitely be drowned in the saliva of the media.

Therefore, Thibodeau did not want to speak, and after shaking hands, he just wanted to leave as soon as possible.

"The 19-point loss is back to you, let's tie it!" However, Henson did not choose to remain silent, he knew very well that as long as he was still in the East, as long as Thibodeau was still in the Bulls, the matter between the two of them would never be over!

Thibodeau paused, but did not refute. In the face of a defeat, any rebuttal is futile.

After shaking Thibodeau's hand, Henson saw old Sag grinning at him. It seems that the protagonist of today's sideline interview is himself again.

"Coach Henson, congratulations, this is a great win! We've all seen that your rotation strategy and last-minute scheduling are very exciting, can you talk about the Pacers' defense limiting Rose in the final moments of the game? What's your train of thought? ”

Sag smiled, he didn't expect Henson to answer his question properly, he was looking forward to hearing what Henson had to say again.

Of course, Henson will not talk about the setting of those defensive traps, after all, these things will be used against others in the future.

So Henson familiarly hooked up with Sager, and then put his mouth to the microphone: "I don't have any ideas, the only thing I said to them during the timeout was that if you guys messed up, you'd have to face Sager's stupid questions after the game!" The choice is yours! ”

"The players asked me again if Sag was the weird old man who always wore a colourful suit. I nodded in the affirmative, and you saw how they behaved after that. ”

Henson smiled and patted Sag on the shoulder, his answer was not disrespectful, just joking with Sager.

Sag grinned too, not minding the jokes of the coach and the players. After all, no matter how poisonous Henson's mouth is, it can't poison Popovich......

In this joyous atmosphere, Henson led the Pacers' little guys to another four-game winning streak and restored the Pacers' iron-clad defense.

After this match, Thibodeau was really stabbed by the reporters.

"This Bulls didn't attack at all, which is why the Bulls lost this game," said Stephen A. Smith, a well-known NBA reporter. ”

"The players are not supermen, and Thibodeau's over-reliance on the main players will hurt him!" So commented the Chicago Sports Journal.

"Coach Thibodeau is coaching a team that aims for a championship, and such a team is not allowed to have such big shortcomings." A Chicago fan commented indignantly.

Thibodeau was bound to spend the past few days in a state of distraction, and it was Henson, the young head of the church who suddenly appeared in the eye, who gave him these things.

From today, the long-term war between Thibodeau and Henson can be regarded as officially commencing......

※※※

Although Henson led the team to solve the big trouble of the Bulls, the January schedule still made Henson can't help but want to scold his mother.

Starting today and continuing through Jan. 23, the Pacers will embark on a four-game road trip to the West.

Even if you play away games in a row, the key is to play teams in the west in a row, which undoubtedly makes this four-game trip extremely difficult.

On January 17, the Pacers began the first leg of their road trip to the West.

In Los Angeles, Staples, Henson immediately experienced the magic of a Western Conference team.

In this game, the Pacers played well, Granger scored 32 points, and Holiday also scored a season-high 30 points. I thought it was inevitable to win the Clippers, but I didn't know that the ball in the second half changed dramatically.

Clippers No. 1 pick Blake. Griffin played a stunning second half, and in the third quarter, he was proficient in shooting and hooking, scoring 13 points in a single quarter on 5-of-7 shooting. In the fourth quarter, he made all 7 shots, scoring 15 points in a single quarter and 28 points in the half, making the Pacers' original victory come to naught.

Griffin scored a career-high 47 points in the game, and the "White Monster" mid-range shot was so accurate that Henson wondered if Duncan's soul had possessed Griffin.

"I don't know how he did it, what happened tonight was amazing." Henson faced the camera and waved his hand impatiently, it seems that even God doesn't want the Pacers to win tonight.

114-110, the Pacers lost to the Clippers, and the excellent statistics of Granger and Holiday also turned into empty cuts.

On January 19, the Pacers visited the Bay Area vs. Warriors. Many fans in this game believe that Henson can avoid a losing streak, after all, the Warriors are not in a good situation this year, and the 17-23 record has made the Warriors kicked out of the top eight in the West early.

Before the game began, reporters also captured photos of Coach Henson and the mysterious woman dating. Of course, the players all know that the so-called mysterious woman is Henson's girlfriend. It's all in Auckland, and it's impossible for Henson not to meet Angarie.

However, there was another accident in the game that night.

The Warriors were like crazy today, how to shoot and how to have. Originally, the Pacers had been leading, but in the third quarter of the game, the Warriors made a wave of 6 shots and 6 shots, which completely reversed the situation.

However, under Henson's command, the Pacers were able to hold their rhythm and tie the game at 105 with the Warriors in the final 18 seconds of the game.

Then, the magic happened again.

Under Holiday and Holiday were unstoppable on defense, the Warriors' leading guard Monta. Ellis was stunned to withstand Holiday 's tight defense, and forced a shot two steps away from the three-point line to kill the game!

At that moment, the entire Oracle Arena was in a frenzy. Ellis's key shot made him get the fans cheering on him, who had been criticized.

"What the fuck is going on!"

Angarie looked at the roaring Henson in the cheering crowd and couldn't help but be a little worried about his mental condition. In the last loss to the Clippers, Griffin broke out inexplicably. In this loss to the Warriors, the whole Warriors team had an inexplicable handstyle, and an unreasonable magical lore was attached......

The Pacers didn't lose in tactics or strength, as Henson said in his last interview.

No one knows exactly what's going on.

In the first two games of the Western Conference's four-game stretch, the Pacers lost. After facing the tough Trail Blazers and the vengeful Nuggets, people can't help but sweat for Henson.

The day after the game, Henson, in his hotel room, picked up the newspaper that the waiter had brought from the crack in the door and flipped through it at random.

To his surprise, the photo of himself and Angeli hanging out on the UCB campus hand in hand made the headlines of the sports section of the newspaper.

"I got the beauty and lost the game." This big title made Henson extremely popular.

He crumpled the newspaper and smashed it into the trash. Now he understands a little bit why the managers are so angry.
