309: Eat and sleep and beat Paul

"Coach Henson, are you really that confident of winning at the Barclays Centre? In the last five games, the Brooklyn Nets have won five in a row! In five games, the Nets also won against Western powerhouses like the Spurs and Thunder. Are you a little too optimistic about the team's prospects? ”

Berman really didn't have any good fruit in his pocket, and as soon as he came up, he wanted to give Henson a dismount.

But Henson wasn't angry, not even a hint of displeasure. He had a polite smile on his face and lived like a gentleman. Of course, everyone who knows Henson knows that this guy is a bastard.

"Are you really that confident that the Nets can win at the Barclays Center? In the last 12 games, the Indiana Pacers have won 12 in a row! In twelve games, the Pacers have even beaten East and West powerhouses such as the Rockets, Hawks, Celtics and Heat. Are you overly optimistic about the prospects of the New York team? ”

Henson smiled and asked Berman, but Berman couldn't respond to Henson with a smile.

"However, the Pacers are back-to-back today......"

"Last season, I played countless back-to-back games with my team. But not once did we go home crying. It's just back-to-back now, little meaning. Before Berman could finish asking, Henson "rushed" to answer.

With a relaxed smile, Henson followed the team into the players' tunnel at the Barclays Center. Berman froze in place, gritting his teeth. He has been a journalist for so many years, and he has never been scolded by a coach like this.

Although he had just been interviewed outside, Henson showed a confident look. But after walking into the locker room, Henson's first words to the players were: "Don't think the game is over, the Brooklyn Nets are not easy to mess with this season!" ”

That's right, this season's Nets are not easy to mess with, quite difficult to mess with!

This summer, the Nets have spent a lot of money. Although it failed to promote Howard's joining, it won Joe. Johnson's contract extension with Delon and Lopez is enough to keep the Nets competitive in the East.

Naturally, Delon needless to say, Paul's old rival. Although the peak has passed, and it has long crossed the peak period of "eating and sleeping to beat Paul", the decline in strength is not serious, and he is still one of the best point guards in the league. And this is the biggest reason why Berman believes that the Nets can win.

Brooke. Lopez, a player whose strength is greater than his fame. Da Lopez may move a little slower, but other than that, it's all about the advantages.

Height, Reach, Shooting, Low Post Technique, Defensive Awareness, Positioning...... Da Lopez is the kind of player who can kill the game in a tepid situation!

And the Nets' most important signing this summer, Joe. Johnson, Henson will be no stranger. Back in and Larry. Drew confronted Joe. Johnson is one of the players who has caused Henson the biggest headache. Although it turns out that Joe. Johnson's contract with the Hawks did come at a premium.

But in a few games, the "singles king" can show a performance that matches his value.

The Nets don't have a superstar, and their stars even look a little bit high. But once this team is united, the fighting power is still not to be underestimated. Now, their 21-14 record is a testament to that.

Before the start of the game, on the sidelines, Henson also gave a pre-match interview to ESPN reporters. Unusually, this time the reporter's question was not about the team, but about a basketball reporter's name.

There is no doubt that the name is Mark. Berman!

“...... Mark. What do you think of Berman's remarks, which sparked a media bickering in New York and Indianapolis? Do you think there is any truth to Bowman's statement? The beautiful reporter blinked and motioned for Henson to start answering.

At the same time, Berman was also very proud to stare at the big screen of the scene. As a journalist, but it was widely discussed before the game, Berman felt that he was a mixed up in New York!

"Wait...... I know a lot of friends from the media, such as Reggie. Miller, Charles. Barkley, Sag, or Christine. Ledlow. But Mark. Berman? Sorry, I don't know who this nobody is. So, I don't care what he says. The only thing I care about now is how to get the team to win their 13th game in a row! ”

Henson returned to the sidelines to supervise the warm-up of the players, clearly uninterested in the topic.

The corners of his mouth twitched, and as a PR celebrity for the Knicks and Nets, Berman considered himself a good figure in New York. Unexpectedly, he was said to be a nobody by Henson!

No wonder 80% of the people in this league don't have a good opinion of Henson, that guy is a complete bastard!

Berman clenched his fists, and when the game was over and the Nets won, he would definitely use the most tricky problem in the world to embarrass the Asian coach!

But Henson will not give Berman this opportunity, and the biggest problem facing Henson today is the peculiarity of back-to-back operations. Although they played the Bobcats in the last game, the Pacers didn't put much effort into it. However, for the sake of the safety and health of the players, Henson decided to increase the playing time of the substitutes today, so that the playing time of the starting and rotating lineups was slightly balanced.

But just then, Paul, who had made a few baskets, approached Henson and said he needed more playing time!

"What!?"

"I want to fight a little more today, boss." In Henson's surprised expression, Paul repeated his request.

Henson looked at Paul and then turned to look at Deron who had warmed up in the other half. Williams. Well, it's probably because of him.

Delong, who was at his peak, could crush the vast majority of the No. 1 positions in the league at the same time. Among the defenders who are opposite the pinnacle Delon, only the "French sports car" Tony . Parker's numbers are not lagging behind, but they are only flat.

Once, there was a popular saying among fans: "Paul dominates other point guards, and Deron dominates Paul!" ”

Paul and Delon have played each other 16 times during their time with the Hornets, and Paul has only won 4 of them! Statistically, Paul wasn't very effective against Delon.

After coming out of the Hornets, Paul has become more mature, but Delon has shown signs of declining form due to injuries.

Although the days of these two men competing for beauty are long gone, Paul still seems unable to forget the shameful record of the past.

"I know what you're trying to do, Chris. I can increase your playing time, but I need you to stay calm. Henson hesitated for a few seconds, then nodded slightly. He had faith in Paul, just like against Rondo before, and Paul was not blinded by anger, but turned anger into motivation.

So Henson believes that this time Paul will do the same.

"Don't worry, I'm here to help the team win!" Paul smiled, and went back to the court to warm up.

Delong. Williams and Chris. Paul, one of the two is bound to be buried here today!

At eight o'clock in the evening, to the huge cheers of the New York fans, this high-profile showdown officially began.

The Nets are currently on a five-game winning streak, while the Pacers are on an exaggerated 12-game winning streak. Both teams haven't tasted defeat for a long time, and they are both in good form and full of confidence.

Lopez, who is 2.13 meters tall, easily snatched the basketball from Horford's head, and the moment Delon advanced the ball, the shouting in the Barclays Center also reached its peak!

"Delong. Williams vs Chris. Paul, this is undoubtedly the biggest attraction of this game! Of course, this is also the Nets' biggest win of the day! Let's see, Delon's first attack, how he will deal with it! "Marven. Albert was also excited in the commentary box, and of course, he was watching the game with a neutral attitude.

Although Albert is the New York commentator, not everyone is like Berman, who "licks" the New York team everywhere.

Delong is characterized by very abrupt and rich rhythmic changes, with a large range of changes. His absolute speed may not be as fast, and his dribbling is no more fancy than Cleveland's Irving. But the sudden fast and slow pace makes you unpredictable at all.

Outside the three-point line, he changed hands several times in front of his body, as if he was about to accelerate the breakthrough. Paul maintained his center of gravity, and he knew exactly how capable Delon was!

After doing another crossover, Delon suddenly stabbed to the left! Paul immediately moved sideways to block, but just as the two sides were about to make physical contact, Delon retreated backwards and was nailed to the spot!

From movement to stillness, Delong completes this process only between lightning and flint!

Paul flickered, unable to keep up with the sudden change in rhythm. Deron didn't waste that opportunity either, hitting a mid-range jumper and hitting the first shot of the game for the Nets!

The Barclays Center is shaking the mountains, Chris. Paul, the league's strongest No. 1 defender, was once again teased by Delon!

Mark. Berman shook his fist hard off the court, just as excited as the rest of the New York fans.

But Henson only waved his hand slightly, thinking that Chris. Will Paul fall like this?

No, Chris of Indianapolis. Paul, you are a hundred times stronger than you think......
