"Henson, Henson."

Hearing someone pushing him, Henson suddenly opened his eyes. At this time, it was pitch black all around him, and the large projection in front of him was the only source of light here. Above, the Philadelphia 76ers' video has been played to the very end of the progress bar.

Henson looked up and saw that Angeli was looking at him with concern. He shook his head and gathered his thoughts.

I should have fallen asleep watching the game video in the study just now.

"You've been so tired lately, Henson." Angeli sat down next to her husband and rubbed Henson's face with a hot towel.

In an instant, Henson was much more sober.

"yes, this month...... The schedule is a bit difficult. Henson turned off the projector, he hadn't experienced what it was like to watch a video and see him fall asleep in a long, long time.

"Are you watching the footage of the 76ers because of Jimmy?"

Jimmy. Butler's claim that he must win at the Bankers' Living Arena was the hottest basketball news of the past two days. How hot is it? Even An Jiali, who didn't deliberately pay attention to the news of the 76ers, knew.

"Hahaha, that's the kid's character. But I didn't watch the footage because of him, but because of the whole team of the 76ers. You know, they've been one of my biggest opponents this season. ”

Henson smiled bitterly, in the past, his biggest opponents were two, the Golden State Warriors and LeBron. James. But this year, his biggest opponent has instantly increased.

One James left, but a bunch of strong people came. This year, the east is not much more peaceful than the west.

"Alright, don't worry about me, I'll go rest. Don't worry, in the last season, I will take good care of my body. ”

Henson took the towel and washed his face.

He is indeed sleepy, but what makes the Chinese coach really want to sleep is that the shortcomings of the 76ers are bigger than Henson imagined......

Compared with the Toronto Raptors, who have a relatively complete system, the Philadelphia 76ers still have a lot of problems to solve.

Jimmy. Butler says he's sure he'll win at the Bankers' Living Arena? I'm sorry, in front of Henson, Jimmy. Butler will always be a younger brother.

※※※

The back-to-back battles against the Raptors and Celtics in January did make Henson very tired. But Henson doesn't show his tired side in front of anyone else except in front of Angari.

Therefore, in the eyes of the players, Henson. Joe is still the same dynamic manager. And once Henson starts to get active, the rest of the Pacers players won't get tired.

Sometimes, the form of the head coach will directly determine the state of a team. And the Pacers undoubtedly showed Henson's energetic state on the basketball court.

In the two games since the Celtics, the Pacers have won by a wide margin. They first defeated the champion Tsai En in New York. Williams went to the Knicks, and then defeated another "No. 1 pick candidate" Phoenix Suns.

These two games were as easy as warming up for the Pacers.

Of course, since there was no suspense in both games, it was completely unappetizing to the fans. On January 17, the Pacers vs. 76ers game was pinned on by fans.

All believe, plus Jimmy. The Philadelphia 76ers after Butler will definitely be able to spark with the Pacers.

So, for a few days, the whole network was full of coverage of the Pacers and the 76ers. And it was precisely at this juncture that the Philadelphia 76ers did something earth-shattering.

Two days before the Pacers game against the 76ers, that is, the day the Pacers and Suns play. The 76ers are also at home against Jimmy. Butler's old club, the Minnesota Timberwolves.

In this game, the 76ers showed their extremely good competitive form. As if the closer we get to the game against the Pacers, the more excited the 76ers become.

Throughout the game, the 76ers scored 149 points without going through overtime!

With nearly 150 points in the fourth quarter, it's an All-Star Game-caliber score. However, this is a regular season game with real guns.

The Timberwolves' defense is as fragile as a thin potato chip in front of the 76ers.

Among them, Jimmy. Butler played the most bloody. He only made 10 shots in the game, but hit eight of them. As an outside player, that percentage is incredible.

While the 19-point score may not seem impressive, combined with his high shooting percentage, such an offensive performance can be called perfect.

Only 10 shots in the game, then Jimmy. What is Butler doing? This, ask Andrew. Wiggins: He certainly knows best. Because he only scored 12 points on 4-of-14 shooting, it was none other than Jimmy. Butler's defense.

Seven members of the 76ers scored in double figures, plus Jimmy. Butler's blockade of Wiggins cost the Timberwolves 42 points...... And 42 points, naturally, also set a record for the largest point difference in a single game this season.

The bloody massacre shocked the whole league, so much so that just after the game on Henson's side ended, a reporter asked him questions about the 76ers, which made Henson look confused.

It wasn't until Henson returned to the locker room to watch the news that he realized that the 76ers had done such a brutal thing that was "not even as good as a brute".

"Tut-tut, fierce." Looking at the technical statistics of both sides in this game, Henson couldn't help but pout.

Embiid 31 points, Simmons 20 points, Jimmy. Butler had 19 points, J.J. Redick 15, Wilson Chandler and Jonah Bolden 14, and first-year rookie guard Landry Shamet also had 12 points.

On the other hand, the Timberwolves scored only 13 points...... It seems that Tom. Brother Thibodeau's position may be out of order again.

"It seems that the people of Philadelphia came to Indianapolis with the determination to win. This game is just their dismount. "Becky. Harmon shook her head as well, she felt that there was only one word to describe the reason why the gap between the two teams was so wide, and that was the desire to win.

The Timberwolves played without desire, and Wiggins and Towns were passable. But the 76ers are here, from Jimmy. Butler started to rookie Shamet, everyone was hungry for victory, everyone was extremely bloodthirsty. The almost crazy desire to win is the most basic condition for the 76ers to create a tragedy.

Are you going to say that the difference in quality between these two teams is really as big as 40 points? Definitely not. But the desire to win on both sides has broken the shackles between strengths.

And sometimes, a strong desire to win can even go a long way in improving a team's strength.

The Timberwolves are Jimmy. Butler's former club, the Pacers, is also Jimmy. Butler's former owner. So there is no doubt that in the game two days later, the 76ers will show a stronger desire to win at the Bankers Life Arena!

"They're hard to tangle with."

"yes, they're hard to mess with. The Philadelphia 76ers, I really didn't expect that one day we would have a headache for this team. Henson stood up and straightened his Giorgio Armani suit as he prepared to go to the press conference.

"Have you figured out what to do?" Becky. Harmon looked at Henson, but Henson didn't give him an answer.

The Chinese-American coach left the answer at the press conference. Because at the press conference, a reporter asked Henson the same question.

"Coach Henson, the 76ers played their best form of the season so far today. Two days later, against the 76ers, have you figured out what to do? ”

"Honestly, the 76ers are in great shape. I can even have a hunch that Jimmy. Butler could probably score a lot of points. Joel. Embiid and Ben. Simmons, too, will put a lot of pressure on us. ”

Henson said, flashing underneath. Could it be that this invincible coach has softened because of the 76ers' recent form?

"Don't be too busy taking pictures, I'm not done yet. Jimmy. Butler could probably score a lot of points, Joel. Embiid and Ben. Simmons will also put a lot of pressure on us. But two days later, we will be the winners. Isn't that what you want? Now you guys got it. ”

Henson wanted to circumvent Jimmy. Butler's previous provocations and reporters' current fanning of the flames, but sometimes Henson feels that doing something about it can take away some of his fatigue.

The words have already been released, and the game will have to be won two days later......
