The Indiana Pacers reached the Finals, which is undoubtedly another surprise for all fans and another big upset for the league since the Mavericks defeated the Big Three to win the championship last year.

Henson admits that he didn't expect last season's championship to be won by the "mediocre" Dallas Mavericks. They don't have a champion, and they're all veterans.

How shocked Henson was last year, and how shocked the Pacers were this year when they were able to reach the Western Conference Finals.

Perhaps it is precisely because of this curiosity that fans are already looking forward to it before the finals have even started. It seems that the Pacers' current ability to attract money is no worse than that of the Heat. The Pacers' appeal to fans is not what it was a few years ago.

After the Eastern Conference Finals, the Pacers' promotion also had a variety of impacts on the league.

First of all, the day after the Eastern Conference Finals, Henson received a $10,000 fine! The reason is known to everyone, and it is precisely because of the "inappropriate remarks" made by Henson after winning the Eastern Conference championship.

$10,000, this can be said to be a very heavy punishment for individuals in the NBA. You know, the league fines players for fake falls and other behaviors are only a few thousand dollars fined!

With such a thing as a foreshadowing, and such a head coach full of personality as a gimmick, it is difficult not to attract attention in this year's finals.

When others win the Eastern Conference, they are sure to compliment their players and coaching staff, and then say something nice like "we're going to keep it up."

Henson, on the other hand, did not obediently "obey" after winning the championship, but bluntly said that "this is a dirty game", "I don't want to see this unfair situation again" and so on. If it weren't for the league's loss, Mr. Stern would have directly given Henson a "ban package" if he couldn't do it.

"If Coach Henson has any dissatisfaction or challenge with the referee's decision, he can appeal to the league. And should not damage the image of the alliance out of nothing in front of the media. Stern explained the fine and could see that the old man was very experienced in dealing with this kind of thing.

Everyone knows whether the league has the behavior of operating the game. The 2002 Lakers vs. Kings Western Conference Finals, most famously, is arguably one of the most notorious examples of league operations in the game. Although David. Stern never admitted it, and the matter was over. But there are some facts that will not be forgotten by fans over time.

What's more, this time it is not only Henson who suffers, if it is just Henson who scolds alone, then fans can say that Henson is vexatious. This time, but even Tim. Duncan, a "silent gentleman", has come out to accuse the referee, so whether the league interfered in the game is really debatable.

So while James heroically scored 32 points and fought to the very end, Henson was fined by the league for his vitriolic accusations. But in this matter, Henson surprisingly got the support of most fans!

This is a far cry from Henson's previous image of a public enemy.

"The Pacers are doing a great job, they broke the dark tricks of the league's operation!"

"Although Henson. Coach Joe's mouth is unflattering, but I must admit that this time I stood by Henson. Joe's side. ”

"Tell the truth at the cost of a $10,000 fine, Henson. Joe is a man! ”

On the Internet, countless fans left messages under the news. A small press conference and a routine fine caused such a lively discussion. Maybe only Henson can have this kind of impact.

Another heavyweight topic raised by this incident is whether it is possible for the Pacers to break through the shackles of the league again and do what the San Antonio Spurs have not done - defeat the Oklahoma City Thunder!

Stern was a blessing in disguise, although the fairness of the alliance was once again brought to the forefront. But it is precisely because of this that the finals are full of attraction.

But now, the Heat's "god operator" Pat. Riley must have had a lot of headaches. There is no doubt that this guy will have to refund the tickets of the fans who have already pre-purchased tickets for the finals......

Henson. Joe's impact on the league seems to be getting bigger and bigger.

Regarding Henson's fine, it has caused heated discussions among fans in the outside world. But Henson himself was not interested in joining in the fun now, and the $10,000 was paid, and Henson didn't mention it again. Because now, he's putting all his attention on the Oklahoma City Thunder!

He knows very well that the young Oklahoma City Thunder are no easier to deal with than the Big Three in Miami!

"What an enviable team with too much talent!" This is Henson's assessment after watching a few Thunder game footage. You know, the talent of the Pacers can already make most people salivate, but as the coach of the Pacers, Henson thinks that the talent of the Thunder is even more terrifying!

Although the Spurs lost to the Thunder, there are whistle reasons for this, but the Thunder are not without merit. On the contrary, they are more powerful than you can imagine!

The Mavericks, Lakers and Spurs, the three opponents that the Thunder defeated along the way are all the three Western teams that have won the championship in the millennium! And the young structure of this team is even more breathtaking.

Kevin. Durant, who entered the industry in 07, won the scoring championship in the third year, and won it for three consecutive years! led the team to the finals this year, and he is only 24 years old! To be exact, there are still three months to turn 24!

Russell. Westbrook, who joined the league a year later than Durant. Only in the fourth grade, he has been selected as an All-Star twice and the All-Second Team twice. He is the same age as Durant, only three months younger than Durant.

James. Harden, a third-year player, is the Sixth Man of the Season winner. With two months to go until his 23rd birthday, his outstanding performance in the playoffs is one of the important reasons why the Thunder can pass the test! In the first three rounds, Harden averaged 17.6 points per game, and his three-point shooting rate was as high as an exaggerated 44.6%! Especially in the Western Conference Finals against the Spurs, Harden averaged 9.3 points and 2.5 assists per game in the fourth quarter of six games. Although he is the sixth man, although he is the third in the team, he is undoubtedly the sword that kills people in the fourth quarter of the Thunder.

Of course, we can't forget about Sergi. Ibaka, a third-year power forward who entered the draft in '08 and landed in the league in '09.

As a monster with a lot of physical fitness, Ibaka even has a soft mid-range jumper. In the fourth game of the Western Conference finals, Ibaka staged a miracle of 11 shots and 11 shots! The last time someone took at least 11 shots in a single game in the playoffs and hit 100% from the field was back in 1985!

Even Popovich was convinced by Ibaka: "I don't think it's possible to shoot 11-of-11 even when you're unguarded in training. ”

This is the Oklahoma City Thunder, a magical, incredibly young Oklahoma City Thunder. Oh, and of course, there's their 47-year-old young manager, Scott. Brooks. When Henson was still on the bench to Jim. When O'Brien was an assistant coach, Brooks had already won the Coach of the Year award once.

From the coaches, to the players, this team is full of legends. At this time, the young and vigorous Thunder must have been full of desire for the championship.

In their opinion, the opponent of the Finals is not the Miami Heat, which seems to indicate that they will win the championship!

"It's a headache, the team that can reach the finals is really not covered." Henson watched the video and rubbed his temples.

"What do you think should be done? We should focus our defense on Kevin. Durant, or Russell. On Westbrook? Vogel also rubbed his dry eyes, no wonder even the Spurs overturned in the gutter, the configuration of the Thunder is really terrifying.

"Durant? He's won the scoring title three seasons in a row, and I don't think he'll be able to be easily restrained. Henson shook his head, Leonard's five-game stat bonus has been used up, and he can't be expected to play against the sky like he did in the Eastern Conference Finals.

"Westbrook? Well...... I don't think that guy needs to be focused. He can sometimes throw his opponent to death, but sometimes he can throw himself to death. Henson can see that Westbrook is the kind of player who is prone to hot-headedness, and that kind of player can do just as much damage to the Thunder as it does to the Pacers.

So in the end, Henson rewinds the game video and freezes the scene on the No. 13 beard.

"So, we can start with this guy. His performance in the first three rounds has deflated a lot of teams, and I don't want to lose another series because of a sixth man. ”

Henson tapped his finger on the computer screen. Harden didn't know that he had been entangled by the "torture king......
