In fact, Danny. Green led a three-point frenzy in Game 1 of the Finals. But like most people believe Gary. Neil couldn't have been like a convulsion again, and most people didn't believe Green could find that touch again.

It's normal for a three-point shooter to feel hot in one or two games once in a while, but even if it's as strong as thunder. Aaron and Reggie. A sharpshooter like Miller can't stay hot every game. Not to mention, Danny. Green is a role player.

So even after the pause came back, Danny. Green was ordered to make a three-pointer, but that still went unnoticed by the Spurs and Popovich.

Popovich was still worried about George, Paul and Leonard. Green? What's there to fear from a player who is about to touch the edge of double digits in points per game? It's hard to do it, Henson. Will Joe still let him come and kill the game?

If Henson knew how to read minds, he would have answered Popovich like this.

"Congratulations, you answered correctly!"

As a result of Green's three-point shot, the Spurs' five-point advantage instantly became only 2 points. At this time, Ginobili, who started the game, had already scored 7 points and 3 assists, that is, only 1 of the Spurs' 15 points was not directly related to the Argentine.

If Henson hadn't replaced Danny. Green, if it weren't for that rhetoric, it would have been a textbook game between Popovich and Ginobili. It's a pity, it's a pity......

This time, the Spurs are still focusing on Ginobili. Henson used George against Manu and Green against Jackson.

Ginobili is still very experienced in playing George, although George has excellent defensive ability and physical condition, he is always a chick.

He's nowhere near as experienced as Ginobili, who only needs to add a few tempo changes to the break to get shots.

This time too, after Split gave Ginobili cover, the Argentine looked like he was going to accelerate to the side where there was cover. In fact, there was a sudden emergency stop, and he turned to the side without cover!

By this time, George was already entangled with Split. The Brazilian is no slouch of sorts, and he uses small gestures that are on the verge of breaking the rules to try to get George to entangle himself a little longer.

And just like that, Manu broke through to the middle distance again. And today, Ginobili feels very hot in the middle distance.

"Ginobili seems to be back to the top today, he throws a shot! Wait, it's Danny. Green, he ran over aggressively and interfered with Ginobili's shot! With an inaccurate shot and a beautiful defense, Green looked very excited today! ”

Mike. When Brin saw Ginobili break through George, he thought the Spurs' offense was stable. Unexpectedly, a Green came out halfway.

Green is known to be good defensive defenders along with Leonard and George. But the defense of the three is somewhat different.

George and Leonard belong to the kind of single defense gate that can suffocate people, and Green's good defense is reflected in the fact that he can always appear in any corner of the court in time!

Not being able to run and being willing to run, this is the biggest trait of a player like Green. That's true on the offensive end, and it's true on the defensive end. In many cases, Green's help defense is the key to the Pacers' defensive success.

Don't say it's Mike. Brin, even Henson, after seeing George being breached, thought that Ginobili's goal was a certainty.

However, Henson overlooked the fact that bringing a player to peak form is not only about his offense, but also about his defense!

Henson himself was taken aback by such a Danny. Green, who can play an important role on both ends of the floor! This rhetoric is really perverted!

Manu shot and hit the iron, and the Spurs didn't even dare to grab offensive rebounds, so the whole team retreated. If the Pacers get a chance to fight back because they fight for rebounds in the frontcourt, it will be more than worth the loss.

After coming on the court, it was a perfect offense and defense, which made Popovich start to notice Danny. Green. But he still didn't take any special measures against Green, after all, the other party is just a role player! It's reasonable to perform well in one or two rounds once in a while.

But Green clearly didn't plan to stop there, and this time, George's driving layup slipped down to the basket under Split's interference. The players in the ATT center thought that this time the defense was done, but Green suddenly went in and took the rebound off unexpectedly with his enthusiasm.

Unlike Popovich, Henson is very encouraging for players to rush for offensive rebounds. After all, with the speed of the Spurs, they can't play a quick counterattack.

"Danny. Green, it's him again. In the last few rounds, Danny has always been inseparable. Green's name! ”

The Spurs reacted quickly, and Duncan immediately raised his arms under the basket to cover Green, preventing him from making an easy layup. But in doing so, Horford was left out.

Green didn't panic in the crowded box and calmly passed the ball to Horford, who was standing on the right baseline. The latter threw his hand in the open space and landed the ball without being under pressure.

At 15-15, the Spurs' lead is gone!

Twenty seconds later, the Pacers made a comeback. In the offense just now, Duncan made a powerful move and made a turnaround jumper on the inside, rewriting the score to 17-15.

But the Spurs' offense was still too gentle for Henson, and this time Green didn't hide anything, and just after halftime, he started running wildly.

Popovich also found that the rest of the Pacers' coverage and positioning were all about giving Danny a new cover. Green creates opportunities and sets! To put it more bluntly, Henson is really using this bench as the main scorer!

What is the best point guard, what team's top scorer, all stand aside! If other coaches had done this, Popovich would have thought he was crazy. But Henson did this, and Popovich had a bad feeling.

After a half-game, Ginobili was already covered by a screen. Green caught the ball and shot, not paying any attention to Ginobili who was flying in.

Ginobili was also frightened by Green's feints, so he didn't dare to attack with all his might. Green was barely disturbed because of this, and that feeling of electrocution of his fingers came back!

Ginobili turned his head in despair, only to see the basketball fall into the net!

"Danny. Green, his performance in these rounds was simply perfect, completely disrupting Coach Popovich's plan! The old man originally wanted to rely on this change of formation and starting to gain an advantage. But unexpectedly, Henson also sent a player as magical as Ginobili today! Popovich took a timeout, and it looked like he wasn't content with the status quo. ”

The moment the game was suspended, Henson's hands were shaking slightly. He's so excited, yes, even though the Pacers are only one point ahead of the Spurs right now, Henson is still very excited.

He is well aware that Popovich will most likely shorten the lineup after this timeout, with one big four small against one big and four small, trying to keep up with the pace and offensive rhythm.

What does this mean? This means that Henson is actually controlling Popovich!

In the three years since he became NBA head coach, Henson has mastered countless opponents. Spoelstra, Larry. Drew, Tom. Thibodeau and so on, but today, Henson's opponent is not of the same magnitude as those guys before him.

However, he still made Popovich his own marionette!

The thought of having one of the world's greatest basketball coaches in control made Henson's hands tremble.

"Henson, time is running out!" In the end, it was Vogel's shouting that brought Henson back to his senses.

"Well, Popovich will definitely change to a small lineup to play against us later. So, Ray. Aaron, you take on Leonard. The other side doesn't have a number four position, so we don't need it either. They want to use more mobility to restrain us, go on the field and tell the San Antonios that there is no way! Keep using your range to test their defenses! ”

Henson's voice is fast, but the players are used to it.

When the timeout was over, Mike on the commentary podium. Brin was taken aback again. Sure enough, Popovich followed Henson into a small lineup! He was well aware that the mobility of the regular lineup simply could not contain the Pacers' offense!

Parker, Gary. Neil, Ginobili, Stephen. Jackson and Duncan, the traditional San Antonio Spurs, were forced out of a small lineup by the Pacers!

But Henson wasn't surprised. Because on the night two days ago, he had already "seen" the lineup in advance. As Henson had thought before, he was in control of the great Greg. Popovich!

"Ray. Aaron is on the field!? They didn't continue to use Leonard!? Damn it! He had already guessed it! Instead, Popovich was furious when he saw Henson's substitution.

The old man has been crisscrossing the rivers and lakes for so many years, and he has not been seen by others for a long time! But today, he was already in the army.

After that, the game was fully into the rhythm of the Pacers. Green and Ray. Allen spurred a three-pointer, and the two top shooters blew the Spurs' three-point defense to shreds.

The Pacers ended the quarter with a wave of 15-2 and a double-digit advantage of 32-20 in one fell swoop!

Green hit three three-pointers in the second quarter. Brin even joked that Green would even be able to break the Rings if the Finals were played long enough. Allen holds the Finals three-point shooting record.

With 6:41 left in the quarter, the Pacers took a 17-point lead at 47-30 after Paul made two free throws and hit two free throws. The reason Paul was able to break through easily was simple, because at this point, Popovich finally focused his defense on Green and Ray. Aaron. The space was opened, and Paul's breakthrough was naturally relaxed.

But for the Spurs, it has become quite difficult to think about the situation now.

By the end of the half, the difference between the two sides had widened to 16 points. In the first half, the Pacers shot 21 of 34, a shooting rate close to a terrifying 62%! Thunder. Allen and Green each scored 13 points, of which Green made 4 of 5 three-pointers! As Popovich thought, Henson was killing the game with a role player!

George and Paul also scored 11 points each, and in Ray. After Allen and Green drew the opposing defense, the two undoubtedly got a lot of offensive opportunities.

When a role player is playing at his peak, it's not easy to mess with!

In the second game of the series, Henson was able to lead the Pacers to complete a miraculous comeback from a large score deficit. But the same thing that Spurs can't necessarily do.

Popovich didn't want to drag the game until the last minute, and he did. But it was he who fell behind by the big score.

At halftime, Popovich did not give an interview to any reporters, he was not in the mood.

If the series aggregate score becomes 3-1...... He's probably supposed to be interviewed all summer.
