730: Why is it always him

Derek. Rose's two offenses shook the Warriors' morale a bit, and similarly, boosted the morale of the Pacers' players.

With almost a full quarter of games to go and trailing by just 12 points, it won't be hard for the Pacers to win.

Kerr still hasn't taken a timeout, and he believes Rose won't be able to play like that every round. Violent dunks and levers, does that guy think he's still Rose in 2010?

But Rose's two offenses and one defense did make Curry a little jealous, and he knew he couldn't score as easily as he did in the first three quarters. On the offensive end, he has also become more cautious because of this.

This time, Curry didn't plan to score on Rose's head. He gave the basketball to Thompson, who ran out of space, hoping to unite everyone's strength to get through the storm.

However, when Thompson received the ball, he found that it was no longer Oladipo who was defending him, but Paul. George!

As we all know, Paul. George was named to the All-Defensive Team this year. Moreover, his effectiveness in defending Thompson is outstanding. Every time Henson asked George to defend Thompson, it worked wonders.

As for Oladipo, he went to defend Iguodala, who was already less capable of scoring. Using the strongest defensive point to score the strongest point against the Warriors was also one of Henson's strategies in the fourth quarter of the game.

Thompson saw that it was Paul. George hesitated as he defended himself. And this hesitation also made him miss this excellent opportunity.

In desperation, Thompson had no choice but to hand the ball to Durant. But how easy is Durant's offense? Now, it's Siakam and Antetokounmpo, two tall and long-arm forwards, guarding him.

Many experts have analyzed that the Warriors can easily sweep the Trail Blazers, mainly because the Trail Blazers' forward line is too weak and has little ability to help defend.

The Pacers, on the other hand, have Henson lacking nothing more than an all-round forward with height and long arms. So even if Durant's scoring ability is inexplicable, Henson has a way to contain it.

With Siakam and Antetokounmpo interfering together, Durant hit a layup in the matchup. The Warriors' offense failed again. Kerr is already in trouble and he's ready to call a timeout the next time he gets the ball.

Derek. Rose received the basketball and advanced quickly, and he was all over the court as fast as a 30-year-old.

In order to limit Rose, the Warriors' defense also rushed to the basket. But a one-point shot from Rose gave Siakam a chance to make a three-point shot.

Henson has said that Siakam's biggest problem is self-confidence. After scoring 32 points in the last game and being named the best of the game, Siakam's confidence problem has undoubtedly been solved.

So, while Iguodala caught up with the interference, Siakam's shot was still decisive. A decisive shot often leads to a coherent shot, and a coherent shot often leads to a goal!

"Three-point shot, 9 points, the Indiana Pacers instantly narrowed the 16-point gap to 9 points! After the start of the fourth quarter, the Pacers scored seven straight points. And these 7 points, all and Derek. Ross related. I don't know what Coach Henson's magic is, but he's always able to send the right players at the right time. ”

Under the cheers of the commentators, the Pacers fans stood up and shouted "MVP"!

Rose looked around and looked at the fans who were cheering for him, and his fists clenched even tighter.

He has received the highest praise from the fans, so he has a responsibility to bring victory to everyone!

Seeing Henson narrow the margin to single digits, Steve Henson. Cole angrily called out the game to stop. Playing against the Pacers for the third year in a row, he knows exactly how dangerous it is to return home with a 0-2 deficit.

In the next two games, as long as one of the Warriors didn't bite down, they were very dangerous.

"Clay, you're going to defend Derek yourself. Ross. It's just a bench bandit, and you don't want to lose yourself at the hands of a veteran! ”

Kerr began to develop a defense, and the first thing to do was to suppress Henson's X-factor.

"Draymond and Andre, you cut in and try to find opportunities to score under the basket." Cole then organized another attack. Since Green and Iguodala made average three-point shots today, let them score under the basket.

This is Henson's last season, and it's Cole's last chance to beat Henson. He won't give up easily, and he's going to hold on to that last 9-point advantage!

But when the game restarted, things were very different from what Kerr had imagined. After Thompson went to defend Rose, Victor. Oladipo is finally activated.

Curry's defense didn't work for Rose, and it didn't work for Oladipo, who was also good at hitting the basket.

Oladipo was immersed in almost the entire game, and everyone thought he would only be able to steal a few points from a cut in once in a while. But Henson's hiring isn't so easy to guess, and he knows Kerr will focus on Rose. In this way, Oladipo was completely liberated.

After the timeout, the Pacers attacked for the first time, and Oladipo booked a spot in the top five of the day with a flying dunk after breaking through Curry.

Curry is very unresistant to this kind of shock guard, thinking that it is all relying on the Warriors' excellent defensive system to cover up Curry's shortcomings.

But today, at this moment, the Pacers' five players on the court are all offensive powerhouses, so the Warriors' help defense is not as decisive as usual.

And Curry's shortcomings are infinitely magnified.

It's the playoffs, every player is going to be targeted, and they're going to be pressed to the ground and rubbed. The difference is that some people can survive and become famous in one fell swoop. And some people will pay the price of losing the championship.

Kerr's timeout didn't have any stop-loss effect, and the Pacers were getting closer and closer under the Pacers' devastating offense.

Finally, 2 minutes and 34 seconds before the end of the game, Derek . Rose broke through Thompson on cover and hit a pull-up jumper.

So far, Rose has scored 8 points in a single quarter, and the Pacers have officially equalized the score.

With 2 minutes and 34 seconds left in the game, the game suspense was up and down again.

"Derek. Rose, 8 points and 3 assists in the first quarter. It was his first time playing in the Finals, but he played a real MVP-caliber performance. Stephen. Curry dominated three quarters of the game but lost everything in the final quarter. Derek. In a very retro way, Ross tells the world that he has not been forgotten! ”

For Rose's performance today, Mike. Brin was overwhelmed with emotion. Today's alliance is very different from that of the past.

Throwing, running, running, fast-paced offense and defense, high three-point shooting. Defenders and even big men have become the norm to come out and shoot with two or three people in the cover.

This year's NBA ratings have dropped dramatically, which has something to do with the league's current style of play.

And the one who pioneered this style of play was precisely the Golden State Warriors.

Kederick. Rose used breakthroughs and beautiful layups again and again to suppress the momentum of the Warriors. He used an extremely retro and tough way to let the fans see the expected finals, so that the fans fully experienced the charm of competitive sports.

Being Mike. As Brin pondered, players from both sides re-entered. The timeout is over, and in the last 2 minutes, they are going to decide each other's life and death.

Before the game began, Henson muttered a few words in Rose's ear. Often, when he talks to his players like this, the other party is unlucky.

※※※

Tom. Thibodeau has been idle at home for more than half a year, and he still remembers his first season as head coach with the Bulls. That year, he led the Bulls to the Eastern Conference Finals. In his rookie season, he won the Coach of the Year award.

He also vividly remembers that he was voted the best coach that year with 475 points. Popovich, who is in third place, has only 177 points.

At that time, everyone thought that a generation of famous marshals was about to rise. But what about after that? The Bulls' situation got worse and worse every year, and he eventually left Chicago to leave his youngest MVP.

Later in the Timberwolves, Thibodeau also did not lead Jimmy. Butler, Towns and Wiggins played as expected. Eventually, the guy, who was considered the "next master tactician", became a vagrant......

Thibodeau shook his head and took a sharp sip of the coconut water in his hand. He lay on the beautiful sandy beach of Hawaii and fell into deep thought.

Why? Why is it always Henson? He won the championship and the best coach. But why even Derrick. Rose, will shine in Henson's hands?

Originally, it was he who made Rose the youngest MVP. But now, Henson is getting Rose infinitely closer to a championship.

Why...... Why is it always him...... He was always able to do things he had never touched.

Thinking about it, Thibodeau fell asleep on the chaise longue. His phone screen is still on, and it shows yesterday's sports news.

"Derek. Rose scored 13 points alone in the final quarter to beat Curry, helping the Pacers break the Warriors by seven points. The series aggregate score became 2-0, and Henson. Joe is getting closer and closer to the second dynasty. ”
