647: Where you fell

After the game against the Spurs, the voices questioning George seemed to disappear overnight. It's as if a similar sound has never been heard before.

In fact, many media outlets have prepared a bunch of articles questioning George. They just need to fill in George's horrific stats after the game and send them out right away.

Those who often watch online news know that many articles are actually the same. Don't doubt it, sometimes they really just change the data and send it all over again.

Even if George scored 20 points today, they will continue to question. But who would have thought that George would simply score 43 points without doing anything......

And these 43 points are not piled up by hand. George was very efficient and defended to near perfection.

Now, the media has no excuse to question Paul anymore. George too.

For such things, Henson has long been accustomed to it. In the world of basketball, the winner loses. There's nothing that can't be solved with one win, and if there is, win two.

Obviously, George knew that too. So for the rest of October, he was doing really well.

The 43 points against the Spurs seemed to open George's energy gates. Since then, a steady stream of energy has filled George's body.

On Oct. 27, the Pacers played against the Cavaliers after losing James again. George scored 32 points in the game, and none of those 32 points came from free throws!

Well, just by scoring in athletic battles, George scored such beautiful statistics. If he makes some fouls again, it is estimated that he will have to run for 40 points today.

In the end, George also helped the Pacers beat the Cavaliers by 12 points on the road. With six straight wins, the Pacers still hold the lead.

The Pacers' first loss of the season came on Oct. 29, two days after the win over the Cavaliers.

At home, the Pacers face a challenge from the Portland Trail Blazers. It was a tough match, with Lillard, McCollum and Nurkic all playing well.

Lillard's unreasonable ultra-long-range three-pointers again and again made Henson helpless.

What the coach can do on the defensive end is to make it impossible for the opponent to play a reasonable offense. But Lillard's goal came from an unreasonable offense, and Henson was very big.

Sure enough, just as Henson thought before the start of the season, this season, it is no longer the two giants of the Pacers and the Warriors. The progress of the rest of the league has been very obvious, obvious enough to shake the dominance of the Pacers and Warriors.

In the end, the game was played to the last minute. And in the final 2.3 seconds, the Pacers even led by 2 points.

But because of Damien. Lillard hit a three-pointer and the Pacers lost the game. And that stubborn pioneer No. 0 undoubtedly played a classic masterpiece of his career.

Looking at Lillard, Henson somehow suddenly remembered the high school coach known as "Yellow Mamba". I think he was in the league back then, and he was ruthless at critical moments.

And just like that, the Pacers lost their first game of the season. Although they lost, the Pacers did not play for nothing in this game.

For example, Antetokounmpo had 21 points, 10 rebounds and 11 assists and another triple-double. Another example is Derek. Rose finally played today, and it was his first competitive game for the Pacers.

Of course, the most important thing is George. He finished with 35 points, 4 assists and 6 rebounds. His energy gate hasn't been closed yet, and his explosive stats are still ongoing.

After playing the Trail Blazers, the Pacers only have one last game left in October. The opponent is also the New York Knicks, who used to be a strong rival of the Pacers, but now there is no hope due to Porzingis' injury.

In the past, there was always a spark between the Pacers and the Knicks. During that time, Henson was also the least welcome coach at Madison Square Garden. Of course, Henson also had his own personal documentary by accident because of the game against the Knicks.

But now, Pacers vs Knicks don't have much to hype.

The game the Pacers won very easily because of Paul. George almost put Dan Ian. Dotson burst into tears. Due to injury issues, none of the Knicks' three outside linemen are taller than 2 meters. George used his height of 2.06 meters to shoot in front of Dortson, which was a dimensionality reduction blow at all......

With 36 points and 10 rebounds in a blistering game, George had a double-double for the first time this season. 117-106, the Pacers beat the Knicks lightly and avoided a losing streak.

The stellar performances in several games in a row have made people seem to forget that George was still being questioned a few days ago. And after the game in October, the players' form is completely on the right track.

Among them, it is not only star players like George, Oladipo and Antetokounmpo who have become better. Many role players are also starting to find their game form......

※※※

In the blink of an eye, almost 10 games have been played in the new season. 10 games may not seem like much, but it's actually already a quarter of Billy's regular season.

At the moment, the Pacers' 7-1 record is still very satisfying for Henson. At least he proved that the Pacers didn't collapse completely after losing Paul. Also, the practice of letting Antetokounmpo play the No. 1 position has been very successful.

It looks like everything is on track. As long as the Pacers play like this all the way to the championship, Henson can retire in peace.

However, if every season goes so well, the NBA championship is too worthless. What exactly will happen in a long season, no one can predict. It's like, Henson couldn't have imagined that the strong Oladipo would strain his calf in training.

"How's it going?" Henson stood solemnly in the team doctor's office, glad he had so many badges to avoid injury. Otherwise, Oladipo will definitely have to be injured for a long time.

"It's not good, the strain is more severe. At the very least, be absent for a week. ”

The team doctor solemnly handed over the examination report to Henson, a week, which Henson could actually accept.

After all, the Pacers' roster depth this season is more than enough to deal with injuries. But injuries are such a thing, and of course it's best if they don't appear.

After coming out of the team doctor's office, Henson studied the schedule. Over the next week, the Pacers will face three opponents: the Bulls, the Celtics and the Rockets.

Among them, both the Celtics and the Rockets are considered fierce rivals by Henson! I have to say that Oladipo is really not the right time to get hurt......

Facing the two giants of Celtics and Rockets, who should Henson use to replace Oladipo's starting position? With Rondo? Or Brogdon?

Or simply have George play back to the second position and then Tikjeel. Kuzma starter?

Henson has many solutions, but none of them are perfect. Rondo's scoring ability is not strong enough, and if Brogdon leaves the bench, the second team will lack offensive points, Kuzma, he has no problem scoring, but the defense is a little less interesting.

Therefore, sometimes the injury of the main player is affected by the whole body.

As Henson pondered, he suddenly stared at the Bulls' logo on the schedule.

Chicago Bulls ...... The last iconic figure in this team...... Isn't it Derek. Rose!?

"Derek. Ross! Henson clapped his hands suddenly, the youngest MVP's recent form on the training ground and in games is quite good!

While Henson won't start Rose for the next game, he can safely start Brogdon. Because in this way, Henson is not afraid of no scoring points in rotation time!

It just so happened that the next game for the Pacers was against the Bulls in Chicago.

It's time to get you back up where you fell, MVP!
