Henson. Joe, this guy is undoubtedly LeBron. James, the league's No. 1 nightmare. People don't know that if Henson doesn't leave those two years, LeBron. Will James bring home a championship trophy for Cleveland?

All one knows is that now, this season, that question can be answered.

On November 16, more than half a month after the start of the NBA regular season in the 16-17 season, the Pacers finally met their strongest opponent, the defending champion Cleveland Cavaliers!

The staggered fates of Henson and James have made this game a lot of attention. And the excellent record of the Pacers and Cavaliers has also made many neutral fans want to witness the style of strong dialogue.

So, there's no doubt that the TV station has long included this game as their national live broadcast in the United States. Vivek and Stephen. Simon must have been smiling so hard that he couldn't close his mouth, after all, the cost of broadcasting live games in the United States is quite high.

And as long as Henson is around, the Pacers are not afraid of not having the opportunity to broadcast live across the United States.

How hot was today's game? When Henson parked his Cadillac and was about to enter the players' tunnel, he was surrounded by reporters at the entrance of the players' tunnel.

Henson has always been very disgusted by such things. It's just that Henson has become much softer this season, so reporters are getting more and more nose-kicking.

So this time, Henson responded to the reporters' questions in a way that was both gentle and unfriendly.

"How did the Pacers prepare for this game? I'll get the players in the car, drive to the stadium, get the players off and play, that's how we prepare. ”

After Henson finished speaking, he smiled absentmindedly at the camera.

After that, no reporter dared to stop Henson again. They all know that the Chinese coach has a moody temper, and if he scolds him for being bloody, he won't be able to eat and walk away.

Twenty minutes later, the Cavaliers' team bus arrived at the Bankers' Living Arena. LeBron. James appeared in front of everyone wearing a leather jacket and skinny jeans.

It can be seen that James's expression is still relatively relaxed. Although, he has been in this arena three times! But now that the Cavaliers are the defending champions, he also has two new helpers, Irving and Love.

Even the 73-win Warriors lost to the Cavaliers last season, and now a mere 10-1 Pacers, what's so scary?

"Nervous? Why be nervous? We were relaxed, we were one of the best teams in the league. So, we don't have to be nervous about any team! When interviewed by reporters, James's attitude was noticeably much softer than Henson's.

The attitude of the two during the interview undoubtedly made the reporters like James and the Cavaliers a little more. As a result, an idea was walked to the ears of the fans before the game began.

"Coach Henson was overly nervous, and he was overly emotional."

"Nervous!? Henson. There may be any emotions in this guy Joe, except for nervousness! Believe me, even if this guy is asked to be the president of the United States, he won't be nervous. "On the podium, Charles. Barkley was dismissive of the reporters' rumors.

"But let's be honest, LeBron. James' team is bound to cause a lot of problems for the Pacers. Time has passed, and today's Cavaliers are even stronger than the Miami Big Three back then. And in the face of this opportunity to be humiliated, LeBron's performance will definitely not be bad. Maybe today, we can witness the birth of a triple double? ”

Kenny. Smith said, looking at James' stats for the season. This season, James averaged 8.7 rebounds and 8.6 assists per game while averaging 26.4 points per game! And these two statistics are James's career highs!

At the age of 32, he can still play a career-high statistic, and it is not an exaggeration to say that James is stronger than before.

So, Kenny. Smith's view is not the same as Barkley's. He believes that in the face of such a terrible athlete, any coach will be nervous, including Henson. Joe!

"I'm nervous, it's not me who plays on the court." On the court, in an interview with Sager, Henson responded to the controversy for the first time.

"To say nervous, I'm nervous about your physical health. You look thinner than the last time we met, Sag. How is the body? Henson looked at the sideline reporter in a bright blue suit in front of him and asked with concern.

"Hahahaha, your eyes are vicious, Henson. As I replied to you last time, my body ...... Not so good. After this game, I decided to take a break for a while. Sag motioned for the cameraman to turn off the camera, so this conversation was a personal exchange between him and Henson.

"If you're not in good health, don't come to the United States to broadcast this kind of hard game."

"Why, I'm warming up for your finals interview. When the time comes, the atmosphere at the scene will definitely be several times more lively than now. Sag smiled and patted Henson on the shoulder, he was always so optimistic.

"Come on, Henson. You also know that if you don't defeat Cleveland. With the Cavaliers, you can't make it to the Finals. ”

"Cut, do you still need to say? After the game, wait to hear my victory speech! Henson waved his hand and returned to the bench.

Nervous, indeed not nervous. But Henson also knows that this game will not be easy if it is said to be easy.

The Cavaliers now have this lineup and let LeBron. James is more difficult to contain......

※※※

After the start of the game, Kevin. Love threw in a clean three-pointer. No one expected that in the grudge between James and Henson, it would be Kevin who scored the first goal. Lefou!

But in reality, Lefou's goal was not accidental. Because from the beginning, Henson intended to use George and Antetokounmpo to join forces to contain James. As everyone knows, James's vision is only broad, which is much better than he was during the Heat period.

He made an understatement of the point-and-shoot and assisted Love to hit a three-point shot. And Lefou's hand today, I'm afraid that Antetokounmpo can't get too far away from him.

Subsequently, Henson tried to use Danny. Green and George wrap up James' defensive style. It's just a pity that Iman. Shambaugh's three points once again gave Henson a return price.

This is the biggest difference between the Cavaliers and the Heat, in the past, in the Heat, Henson could always eat James to death with a bag. And as long as James can't open it, it will be difficult for Wade and Bosh to open the situation on their own.

And the Heat's not-so-outstanding three-point shooting ability allows Henson to unscrupulously pile up the defensive focus on James.

But now it's different, Taryn. The "star-studded" style of play created by Lu completely liberated James. Irving, Shambaught and Love, they are all masters who can shoot threes. Once James is trapped, he can split the ball and assist. Without being trapped, James was unstoppable.

This is also the reason why James' stats are more comprehensive and better looking after coming to the Cavaliers. In addition to James's own outstanding ability, Taryn. Lue and Spoelstra have completely different systems, which is why James has been able to play like a fish in water.

As soon as the opening game started, Henson was beaten 6-0 by the Cavaliers. He also knows that the Cavaliers will not let go of opportunities outside the three-point line today.

After that, Henson didn't use the bag on James again, but used the interior defense as much as possible to prevent him from hitting the basket.

But to be honest, the effect is very average.

After that, with George and Antetokounmpo in their two major attack points, the Pacers were able to match the Cavaliers on the offensive end. But on the defensive end, neither of the two teams can take the other side.

During this time, Henson also tried many methods. For example, let Antetokounmpo go to defend James alone. Henson even asked James' "old friend" Stephenson to go up and try it for a few minutes.

But the results are not very satisfactory.

What's more, the Cavaliers also have Irving, the second point of possession. Although so far, Wade's career is even greater than that of Irving. But Henson must admit that the young Irving's offensive ability with the ball is much stronger than Wade during the Heat Big Three.

Even in the face of Paul's defense, Irving can score with flashy breakaways again and again. No matter how bad it is, he can still eat the "cake" sent by James and hit the open shot.

In this way, the two sides fought inseparably, and the situation was very anxious. This situation played until the final three minutes of the game, and after the Celtics, the Pacers were once again forced into a desperate moment.

"In the last three minutes of the game, the Cleveland Cavaliers led by 4 points thanks to the excellent performance of the Big Three! We all know that LeBron's dominance in crunch time is very strong. This is not true of Isaiah. Thomas or Al. Horford can compare! Today, Coach Henson wants to complete a last-minute comeback like the Celtics, and it is not easy to succeed. ”

Henson called a timeout for the last 3 minutes and he had to find a containment for LeBron. James' approach.

At this time, Henson's eyes fell on Brogdon, who had already scored 10 points in the game and was quite efficient.

Combined with last night's conversation with Nash and Brogdon's performance today, Henson suddenly had a bold idea.

The key moments of basketball don't always belong to superstars......
