Just one day after losing to the Orlando Magic, the Indiana Pacers, who have shone this season, showed up on the wooden floor of the American Airlines Center in Miami at 6 p.m. sharp. Henson deliberately brought his players to warm up early, which is enough to prove how seriously he takes this game.

Although the last game was just lost to the Magic, the reporters on the scene found that the young people of the Pacers seemed to be full of energy again today, sweeping away the haze of previous defeats.

There's no doubt that the Pacers were able to adjust so quickly thanks to their head coach Henson. Given by Joe. If it hadn't been for Henson's willingness to speak out in front of the media, perhaps the young team's form would not have adjusted so quickly.

Young people, it's normal to suffer a loss. But what young people can't stand the most is that they haven't said anything about their losses.

But now the Pacers have a coach who is willing to speak up for the players. When he bravely stood up for the players, the grievances in the hearts of the young players disappeared. Of course, Henson paid $15,000 for his actions and words. However, for the sake of the team, in Henson's opinion, the money is very well worth it.

Previously, $15,000 was almost astronomical for Henson. But for current coach Henson, $15,000 is a lot, but it's not enough to afford.

Henson's bold remarks are still being discussed, and the guy has become almost the most talked about coach in recent days. As a party to the whole thing, Henson has long since put himself out of the matter. The media loves hype, that's their business, and the only thing Henson wants to do now is get out of Miami!

"Bad news, Henson. Silas just got the intel, and Wade will be back in this game. "Two hours before the start of the game, Frank. Vogel reports to Henson a piece of information that is laughable.

The Heat have gone through too many injuries this season, which is one of the reasons why they haven't played well enough so far. Wade has also suffered injury blows recently, but he has only rested for one game before returning to the firing line.

Left wrist injury, Henson doesn't know the extent of Wade's wrist injury. But he is sure that Wade's injury will not heal, and "The Flash" is bound to play with an injury today.

After all, the Heat have such a bad record now, and Wade must be eager to win. However, the left wrist ...... This is a very crucial complement for basketball players. Not to mention the rest, even the most basic shooting will be affected by this injury.

Henson thought about it for a while and finally decided to focus on James defensively. As for Wade, who is injured, we have to see how he is doing today.

Just as Henson and Vogel were discussing their game plan, the stands behind them burst into loud cheers. Henson turned his head and saw that it was the Heat players coming out of the tunnel!

"It's so late to come, the host really doesn't know how to be polite." Henson couldn't help but complain, it seems that the Heat team is indeed more relaxed today. After all, compared to their star-studded lineup, the Pacers' lineup is a bit shabby no matter how you look at it.

Spoelstra didn't come over to say hello to Henson, and the Heat players didn't interact with the Pacers. Most of the Pacers' coaches and players are rookies, so they don't know the Heat players very well.

In this way, the warm-up of the two teams unfolded in a cold and cold atmosphere.

"Henson. Coach Joe, it's a pleasure to see you here! At this moment, a snow-white "deep ditch" suddenly appeared in front of Henson. Henson swallowed and looked up to see that it was Christine, and the young female intern reporter was leaning over and waving at Henson, who was sitting on the bench.

"Oh, Miss Christine, how are you doing? I said why didn't you see Sag today, they sent you. Henson greeted Christine warmly, retracting his gaze that was almost in a ditch.

"Mr. Sag was at the ATT Center today, and I was very happy when I knew I could come and do an interview at your game! Thank you so much last time, I wouldn't have been able to handle George without you. Mr. Carr. Christine said, holding out her hand.

"Are you shaking my hand as a reporter for Christine, or Miss Christine?" Henson's words amused the little girl again, she had never seen such a "boundary" coach as Henson. If Henson wasn't the Pacers coach, Christine would definitely call the flamboyant Henson a charlatan.

It seems that Henson is not a "good guy" in the eyes of most people.

"Christine, let's go, we've got to find LeBron!" The shouts of the photographer at the scene made Christine quickly let go of her hand. After all, she's just an intern journalist and has to be good enough to stay. The slightest neglect at work can be fatal for an intern.

"I'd love to keep chatting with you, Coach Henson, but ......"

"Go ahead, Christine, work is work."

The young girl nodded apologetically and walked briskly towards the Heat halfcourt in her high heels.

"Tut-tut, big stars are just different. Look over there, look at us again. When Christine was gone, Henson opened his arms and spat Vogel.

The Heat's half was covered by reporters and cameras, and it looked very lively. And the Pacers' half, there was nothing but Henson and his players. The eyes of the entire American Airlines Center, or the eyes of the world to be exact, were focused on the Heat.

"That's the difference between a superteam and a civilian team, man. Look at Dunleavy, he's still feeling good, are you sure you're going to take him off the starting lineup for today's game? Vogel stood next to Henson with his hands folded, and even though he was ignored by the others, the Pacers players still worked hard as they warmed up. Because with Henson and Vogel watching them, it was enough.

"We've got to contain LeBron. James, try to contain him as much as possible. If LeBron is completely liberated, we can't win. "Henson is confident, but he's not arrogant, he's not arrogant enough to ignore James.

"Dunleavy, he's not good at defending, so it's better to play him off the bench in this game. Rest assured, I've spoken to him and he's more than willing to accept the role of a substitute. ”

"But let Danny. Green's kid starts ...... "Vogel looked at Green, who was shooting from beyond the three-point line, with some concern, Green has been doing well this season and has been working hard enough. Every day he always comes to the training ground an hour and a half early, and after training he will practice for an hour and a half before leaving. But in Vogel's view, Green isn't good enough to start.

"If you don't let him try, how do you know if he's good enough?" Henson tilted his head, Danny. Green is perhaps the least well-known of the Pacers' rookies.

He doesn't have Holiday potential, Matthews' three-point head, George's athleticism, or even Stephenson's personality. But what he once said to Henson made a deep impression on Henson.

"Coach, I want to play basketball, and I will follow all your instructions. Even if it's throwing a towel, picking up a basketball, handing water ......"

That's what Green said to Henson last year, when he heard rumors that he was about to be cut. Although in the end, it turned out that this rumor was not true. But Henson saw in Green something perhaps more important than ball skills - persistence!

This thing will allow a player to face great difficulties without stage fright, and even exert more strength.

Before the game began, Henson specially called Matthews and Green, two "difficult brothers". Both were drafted in the same year, both played in the Development League, and were named to the Development League's All-Defensive Team at the same time. They have a very tacit cooperation, whether it is on the offensive end or on the defensive end.

"I know, it might be a little weird. But your goal is LeBron. James! Remember, I'd rather let Wade go than let James get any easy score! Even if he can score, make every time he scores! Tough, LeBron would never have imagined that we would cause him such a big problem! Look at the journalists, to whom we seem worthless. But when it's over, I'll let you grab the spotlight! ”

Matthews and Green nodded, then stepped onto the court. Meanwhile, amid the cheers of the Heat fans, LeBron . James tossed magnesium powder on the tech desk. It's his signature move, and every time he does it, it goes straight to the climax.

Henson looked at LeBron with his arms outstretched and the dust floating in the air, and was a little stunned.

Look, what a beautiful "funeral" it is.
