"Chris. Paul, what are your goals for the playoffs? ”

"We just want to keep our feet on the ground and win one game at a time." When asked by reporters, Paul replied.

This sentence is Henson. A quote from Joe in an interview with ESPN beauty reporter Christine. The interview aired on ESPN's playoff preview yesterday and caused a huge response and exploded ESPN's ratings.

For one, fans have barely seen what Henson's interview looks like. Second, everyone is curious about what Henson, who is afraid of the universe, will say in the interview.

Not only the fans, but even Henson's players went home and turned on the TV to see what their boss had to say after learning that Henson had done an exclusive interview.

As a result, the phrase "down-to-earth to win one game at a time" has penetrated into the bone marrow of the Pacers players!

There is a grapevine that in order to "seduce" Coach Henson for an exclusive interview, the TV station is already preparing their own beautiful reporters. And many media outlets that don't like Henson have made a lot of nonsense, saying that Henson is nothing more than a womanizer.

But in the face of the playoffs, these gossip have received little attention. Now, the game of basketball is bigger than everything!

"Boss, you were handsome on TV yesterday!"

"I see that female reporter is fascinated by you!"

"You didn't go to Chris's house after the interview, so where did you go? Not dating a female journalist? ”

Before today's game, in the dressing room, the players couldn't help but joke with Henson about the interview. No wonder Henson didn't go to Paul's house with everyone during the holiday the day before yesterday, it turned out to be a "private meeting" beauty.

"Go, go, prepare me for the game! Our opponent is the Philadelphia 76ers, who are eighth in the East, not beautiful reporters. Don't think they're easy to deal with, no team is easy to deal with in the playoffs! This time last year, the Orlando Magic defied us? The result? They thought they could compete for the championship, and they were beaten 4-1 by us! I don't want us to be magic, I just want us to keep going in the playoffs! Henson waved his hand and didn't joke with the players.

When it's time to be serious, you must be serious. Sometimes, the attitude of the manager towards a game directly determines the attitude of the players.

"Knowing the boss, let's win one game at a time, look at us!" The players didn't play anymore, and after answering in unison, they began to put on their equipment seriously.

But speaking of the afternoon before yesterday...... Henson shook his head slightly.

After dinner that afternoon, Henson invited Christine to his house for a seat.

During this time, the two opened a bottle of red wine and chatted while watching the last regular season game of the season.

I have to admit that Henson and Christine can talk quite well. The two talked and laughed, and they both let go of their identities as head coaches and reporters. Christine even took off her high heels and sat cross-legged on the Henson sofa very "unladylike", which means that the girl has completely relaxed her guard.

In the end, under the dual effects of alcohol and loneliness, Henson still ......

It's still the same as when Anjiali first came to her house, holding on.

Although the distance between the two men was close enough to feel each other's breathing, Henson and Christine were suddenly stunned, and then parted slightly awkwardly.

"Thank you for inviting me to sit at your house, Coach Henson. Of course, thank you for the interview. ”

"No thanks, Christine. The door of my house is open to you whenever you wish. ”

It wasn't early, so Henson put Christine in a taxi. Christine only politely touched Henson's face before leaving.

That's the true story that happened that day, and it's true that there was nothing, but it's not nothing.

"Henson, it's almost time." Vogel poked Henson with his elbow before pulling him back from his memories.

"Uh...... Sorry, Frank, I got distracted. Henson waved his hand, now was not the time to think about all that mess.

Henson then tapped the tactical whiteboard to draw the attention of all the players to himself.

"I repeat, the defence must be steady and not deceived by outside reports. In the mouth of the media, the 76ers are a team that scores low and wins on defense. But in the last five games of the regular season, the 76ers scored more than 100 points in each game, which is very noteworthy! This means that they have found a solution to the disadvantage of the offense! So, forget what the outside world says about the 76ers! Do your own defense and get up to the top from the first second of the game! ”

"Yes!"

"Very well, do you hear the cheers outside? Go on the field and give them what they want! With a big wave of his hand, Henson rushed out of the dressing room in a burst of excitement.

Playoffs, Indiana Pacers are here again!

"In Game 1 of the playoffs, we were all desperate to see what the Pacers could do. You know, this is a playoff game, and it's not out of the question that the 76ers will cause trouble for Coach Henson at the Consec Arena. Charles, how many games do you think it will take for the two sides to decide the winner? ”

Seeing the Pacers players come in to warm up, Kenny. Smith also opened up his conversation.

Face Kenny. Smith's temperature, Barkley compared four fingers, "Four games are enough." ”

This time last year, Barkley also predicted that the Pacers' four-game series would be enough to separate the winners. But at the time, Barkley was referring to the Magic being able to sweep the Pacers 4-0. But this year, there has undoubtedly been a 180° turnaround.

"Four games, trust me, Henson is not the type of person who likes ink. If he can solve Philadelphia in four games, he will never use the fifth. The Pacers have shown their quality in the regular season, and do you think the 76ers can compete with the Pacers? No, Henson won't allow anything unexpected to happen. Barkley said seriously, yes, now the first round of the playoffs, it is no longer possible to give Henson. Did Joe bring pressure?

Although on paper, Henson's team is indeed stronger, and even Barkley has begun to brag about Henson. But at this time, Henson is not taking it lightly, he will not take any opponent lightly, let alone opponents in the playoffs.

"Give it your all! Don't take it lightly, it's the playoffs, the playoffs! The only desire of the opponent is to tear us apart, and to put an end to all this, we must first tear them apart! Until the start of the game, Henson was still grabbing the collars of the players and yelling.

And from the very beginning, Henson stood on the sidelines and stared at the players very seriously, not giving them the slightest chance to relax.

Are the 76ers strong? Not too strong, to be honest. Whether it's Iguodala or Elton. Brand, none of them are the top stars in the league. But the NBA has never lacked examples of the weak defeating the strong, and it is precisely because the opponent is not strong that Henson is even more unwilling to accept defeat.

After the game began, the performance of the Pacers did not disappoint Henson either. From Paul to Horford, all five played very seriously, defending for 24 seconds on the first attempt, forcing Iguodala to force a shot without getting a chance.

In the ensuing offense, Paul used his superb command to dismember 76ers coach Doug Doug. Corinthian's proud defensive system.

Collins could only shake his head helplessly, he had expected the Pacers to play like this, and he had been mentally prepared since he watched Henson torture Thibodeau in the final game of the regular season.

The nickname of "Torture King" lives up to its name.

But Doug. Collins was also an old man, although the 76ers were beaten badly seven minutes into the game, and the Pacers led 18-8. But Collins was still in no hurry, and called a timeout peacefully. It's only the first quarter of the game, and the 76ers have time!

Moreover, one of the major features of the 76ers is their bench players, whose strength is no less than that of the starters.

Big forward Thaddeus who can shoot and carry. Yang, 10-year list eye Evan. Turner, an attacking defender who has long made a name for himself, is Louis. Williams and others have performed well in the 76ers. A lot of games this season, Doug. Collins relied on his desperate subs to win it back.

Therefore, Corinth was in no hurry. The 76ers really have a few points of firepower that haven't played yet.

However, the veteran coach certainly hadn't heard of Wizards head coach Randy Brown not so long ago. A quote from Whitman for commenting on the Pacers.

"There's no difference between a starter and a substitute, there's only a difference between a team and a team B."

The bench bandits under Henson are not easy to mess with at all......
