068: The Strongest Enemy in the East?
Every morning when Henson wakes up, he turns on the TV to watch sports news and listens to it while eating breakfast.
The Miami Heat continue to be in the spotlight, with almost every game being re-reported in the news the next morning. And yesterday's game for the Heat was indeed full of drama, with Wade absent and Rudy. Gay hit a whistle-blowing shot in the final seconds of the game, giving the Heat another aggrieved loss.
This kind of game, which has both stars and exciting scenes, is naturally very popular with fans.
Killed by the Grizzlies, it seems that the Heat Big Three still haven't found their form. This is a good thing for Henson, because in the next game, the Pacers' opponent is the unbeatable Miami Heat! Henson doesn't know if Wade will come back, and no matter how bad the Heat's record is right now, Henson won't think the Heat are easy to deal with. So with one less difficult person, the Pacers have one more hope of winning.
After returning from yesterday's game, Henson also watched a lot of video of the Heat's games. It doesn't look like the Heat's Filipino coach Spoelstra's tactics are too original, as the Heat's superstar impact alone is enough for them to win.
And the superstar ...... Generally speaking, superstars are almost impossible to contain. That's why Henson is still anxious.
After the Heat news ended, Henson, who was drinking milk, noticed a picture of himself arguing with the referee yesterday suddenly appeared on the TV, and Vogel was pulling himself. Henson had barely squirted all the milk out of his mouth, and this was the first time he had seen himself on the morning news.
"Ha, I became the focus of attention." Henson shook his head, and sure enough, the fans were more interested in his.
"The Indiana Pacers hosted the Magic yesterday and lost by four points thanks to Howard's unmatched interior dominance. During the game, Pacers coach Henson. Joe was unhappy with several of the referee's decisions and got into an argument with the referee until he was awarded a technical foul. But after the game, Coach Henson was clearly still unfazed. ”
After the host finished speaking, the TV screen changed to the scene when Henson attended the press conference yesterday.
"You, you, you, and you, are you all blind? Did the Magic win? No, it was the damn referee who won! My players played well and I'm very proud of them. As for the referees, they should be ashamed! ”
Henson's thunderous appearance is now televised throughout Indiana, and even throughout the United States. But Henson is not ashamed, he likes this tone, very unspeakable!
In the light of Coach Henson's comments, the league said it would investigate the matter, and the controversial decision and referee league has stepped in to study it. Next, let's take a look at the weather......"
Henson pressed the button on the remote control board, turned the TV off, and smiled triumphantly. The Coalition has stepped in to investigate...... Well, nine times out of ten, nothing will be investigated, but at least Henson has taught the league one thing — the Indiana Pacers and their head coach are no longer the lambs they once were.
Looking for a star whistle for a superstar? Let's choose other wronged leaders.
When he walked to the door of the Consec Arena in the morning, Henson was also unexpectedly surrounded by a bunch of reporters. Normally, these reporters would be crouching in front of the underground parking lot to film the players. But today, they all have their cameras aimed at Henson.
"Coach Henson! I'm a reporter for the Indiana Evening Post, and we'd love to hear what you had to say about the referee at your press conference yesterday! ”
As Henson expected, these reporters were here for this.
"I'm not going to change my opinion about the referees, you can go back and watch the video of the game yourself. I know that people want to see superstars win more than when we are young. But it's hard to convince a superstar to win in this way. "Henson is still blunt, the players have suffered a dumb loss, and he, as a manager, can't afford to watch his players and the team go flat.
The reporters originally thought that Henson would give the league a step down, but they didn't know that this guy still spoke up. Yao Ming's humble and polite image makes most Americans think that all Chinese should be as gentle as Yao Ming. However, Henson broke this routine with his own practical actions, and Yao Ming was generous. And all the while, Henson felt like a very petty person.
It's okay for me to let you suffer, but it's not okay if you make me suffer!
As soon as Henson walked onto the training ground, the players were chattering about something. However, when Henson came in, the training hall instantly became silent again. Frank. Vogel smiled and shook his head, it really felt like a teacher had walked into a classroom with a naughty student.
"Boss, you were so handsome last night!" Holiday still couldn't help but open his mouth, and Henson's remarks in front of the media undoubtedly vented all the grievances of the players.
"You're too late, Jule! Hurry up and warm up, and in half an hour, let's officially start today's training! Henson didn't even look back, just waved at the players and walked into his office.
It took Spoelstra 14 years to go from video analyst to head coach for the Heat. And Henson completed the transformation from scout to coach in just three years.
As incredible as it sounds, sometimes even Vogel has to admit it. Henson. Joe's kid was born to be a head coach!
From the first day he stepped into the gym, his prestige and trust were built among the players. After playing less than ten games in the new season, he has already become the "boss" in the hearts of the players. And after this refereeing incident, Henson's actions have undoubtedly made the players trust and love him more. It's not hard to imagine that if he wants to get along so well with the players, it will take him half a year......
Born Coach, Born Coach.

After the Pacers lost to the Magic, the situation in the East instantly became chaotic again. The Magic, Pacers, Celtics, Bulls and Heat all have a chance to climb to the top of the East. And the result of each game will also change the order of the top five in the East. For so many years, the fighting in the east has never been so fierce, and its excitement is not inferior to that of the west.
And tomorrow's game between the Pacers and the Heat is a direct conversation between the top five in the East.
Whether the Heat lose or the Pacers lose, it's undoubtedly good news for several other teams in the East. The more the Heat lose now, the harder it will be for them to catch up in the second half of the season. If the Pacers lose, other teams will have a chance to sit in the first place in the East.
Therefore, the game between the Pacers and the Heat was also selected by T.NT TV as the national live broadcast of the day.
The Pacers have been in the limelight lately and have earned the title of "Killer of the Strongest Team". The Heat, on the other hand, are struggling right now, and with three superstars, they can play with all the teams. When it is strong, it is strong, and when it is weak, it is weak.
With the chaos in the East and the strength of the Pacers, people are eager to see who will have the last laugh in this suddenly rising youth army and the high-profile Big Three.
However, Heat general manager Pat . Riley doesn't seem to regard the Pacers as an opponent, and this year's Heat is directly aimed at the Western giants, and they don't take the Pacers seriously at all. Perhaps in Riley's view, the only two threats in the East are the Bulls and the Green Shirts.
During the interview on the afternoon of the 21st, Pat . Riley has been talking about their changes on the defensive end and on the offensive end this season. As for the Pacers, Riley only politely said that the Pacers have improved quite significantly, and "maybe" could become a threat. If it weren't for Bird's face, Riley might not even bother to say such polite words.
A team that hasn't made the playoffs for four years in a row has only been supplemented by an Al . Horford's fish belly team was actually compared to the Miami Heat? In Riley's opinion, this is a ridiculous thing!
"Every year at the beginning of the regular season, there are always one or two teams that are lucky enough to get into the spotlight. No amount of good fortune could resist the grinding of 82 games, though. ”
There's no doubt that Riley thinks the Pacers are now No. 1 in the East simply because of their luck.
It's right in Pat. While Riley was still grinding in front of the camera, Henson on the plane had already watched all the footage of the Heat's games this season. He can watch two games at the same time on two screens.
Vogel doesn't know how Henson is dual-minded, but he can watch both games very carefully at the same time.
"The strongest part of the Heat is the Big Three. But the biggest problem is that they rely too much on the Big Three. Henson held his chin and seemed to be looking for the key to victory for the Pacers around this.
