In the highly anticipated first game of the Finals, the luxurious five-star warriors exposed a problem - they seemed to be far from being as perfect as people thought.

DeMarcus. Cousins, the former league's No. 1 center, is an offensive and defensive player, can run, jump, and shoot. People say that this guy is the number one in the league from the neck down.

But what was the first game of the finals? Playing 8 minutes to score 3 points, almost negligible.

Draymond. Green, some of the exaggerated media say he is the soul of the Warriors. The Cavaliers came back from 3-1 down to win the championship that year, and the biggest reason was Green's suspension. He's the heart of the Warriors' defense, a playmaker, and a great scorer.

However, in the first game of the Finals, Green's shooting rate was only 22.2%, and Siakam scored 32 points in one go, still shooting 82.4%. He had 10 assists but six turnovers. Whether it's defense, organization, or offense, Draymond is hardly good.

Two stars were instantly abolished in the luxury five-star, and the Warriors were no longer terrifying. What's more, the cautious three stars of the Warriors in the first game of the Finals were also very average.

All three shot below 50 percent, and Curry hit just four three-pointers. For comparison, Bogdanovic also hit four three-pointers yesterday.

Are the five-star Warriors absolutely invincible with a healthy roster? Henson said no to the world with his team performance.

Of course, there are also many conspiracy theories coming out of this.

"With a $4,000 ticket price series, can the league let it end early?"

"Did Cousins really only play 8 minutes because he was unwell? No, there may be a deeper reason. ”

"You can count the teams in the league that make money every year, and the rest depends on the league's handouts. In the face of such a good money-making opportunity, it is no wonder that the league does not let the Pacers and Warriors play a full seven games. ”

All sorts of conspiracy theories began to pour out, and to put it bluntly, none of these people believed that the near-perfect five-star Warriors would lose and lose by so many points.

During the training on the second day, a reporter also interviewed Henson on this topic.

And Henson's response was simple and crude, "Most of the people who think about conspiracy theories every day have problems with their brains. ”

Anyway, he is going to retire in a few games, and Henson still has to be afraid of what league punishment? Besides, this is my last finals, and I will play one less game. He measured Adam. Xiao Hua didn't have the courage and courage to ban himself, and let go of the cash cow for the sake of a few reporters, if Xiao Hua really did that, it would be stupid.

Henson is fearless now, he is not afraid of his opponents, and he is not afraid of the constraints of any league rules.

"If that's the answer you want, you've got it. Well, that's the end of today's media session. Damn, don't you all have to spend Children's Day with your children? ”

Henson gave the order and drove all the reporters away. In the last few games of his career, he didn't want to suffer any grievances.

After sending the reporters away, Henson returned to his office. He'll continue to study the Warriors' tactics and deal with all the variables that may arise. In the afternoon, Henson will continue to work on his ultimate lineup.

The badge only has one effect, and the series needs to win four games, and Henson can't win every game on the bench. He knew that the last game could only be regarded as a steal of one victory. If you want to really crush the Warriors in a best-of-seven series, you have to rely on this ultimate lineup!

Just as Henson was about to watch the game footage, there was a knock on his office door.

"Please come in." Henson didn't look up in response, he thought it was Becky. Harmon has something to report to himself about his training.

As a result, the person who pushed the door in made Henson a little surprised.

It's Derek. Ross.

"Derek? What's wrong? Did you have any problems with your training? Henson asked, surprised, and beckoned Rose to sit down.

As the godfather of basketball in Indianapolis, Henson knows it well. If a player comes to talk to you, you have to pay attention. Because this conversation will most likely affect the player's performance in recent games.

"No, boss, training is fine. I don't know what time you have, I want to talk to you. Rose smiled kindly.

Turning back the clock to six or seven years ago, Henson, who had just been eliminated by the Bulls, would never have imagined that he would one day be in his office with Derek. Ross talked.

"Time? I'm a retirement, Derek, and I have time. Hahahaha, let's talk about what you want to talk about. ”

"Hmm...... That's right, sir. I know the tactical arrangement of the team and now I have Oladipo, Brogdon and Rondo, who did well yesterday, in front of me. And after that, you'll be dominated by the ultimate lineup. But as we all know, there is no need for defenders in the ultimate lineup. So ......"

"Let's get straight, Derek. Between you and me, there's nothing to hide. Henson saw that Rose was about to stop talking, and tried to relieve his nervousness.

"I have a request, sir. I want to play in the finals, even if it's just five minutes, no, a minute! You know, I've never played in the finals, that's been my dream all along. I understand, I'm not on your list, and as I said before, the ultimate team doesn't need a defender. Even if I had, I would have to be behind Oladipo, Brogdon and Rondo. But if there's garbage time or something less important, I'd like to be able to play. I finally came to the finals, and I didn't want to spend it like this. ”

Rose looked at Henson sincerely, and Henson's expression turned serious. He hasn't played in the Finals and is the only player on the current Pacers roster who has never embraced an O'Brien Cup. So, Ross's mood is not difficult to understand.

The youngest MVP in NBA history, a player who scored 50 points single-handedly in the regular season this season, is actually asking for a minute of playing time. This kind of magical thing is sometimes so "reasonable" in the NBA, which is so bizarre.

"I'm afraid I won't be able to meet your request, Derek." Henson righteously refused.

Ross lowered his head, feeling a little sour in his nose, but very understanding of Henson.

This is Henson's final season, and he can't afford to risk losing the championship. What can you do when you go on the field? and Stephen. Did Curry hit three points?

"I understand, sir." Rose said, getting up and getting ready.

"No, you don't understand. I need you to play if I need you to play, not some goddamn garbage time or some inconsequential moment! It's true that your playing time in the playoffs has plummeted, but that's just my tactical need, not your lack of strength! Remember, Derek, you're not some random garbage player. So, take your word back, Drake. I'm going to let you play, I've had that plan, but I'm not going to allow my defenders to play at inconsequential moments. ”

Henson finally smiled. Henson has less than half a month left in his career, and his next game will be his penultimate game, which he doesn't know. Maybe it's the penultimate game, maybe it's the sixth from the bottom. But no matter how you count it, Henson's time to coach the game is running out.

Sometimes Henson wonders, does he have any regrets in his career? Five Coach of the Year awards, five championships, more than 70 wins in three career seasons, and two dynasties with one championship to go......

For any coach, there is nothing to regret about such a result, and Henson thinks so.

But what about the grades? What else does Henson have to regret? A lot.

He couldn't see Kuzma end up as a superstar like George, he couldn't stay with Paul, he couldn't save Daniel who fell due to injury. Granger was unable to achieve an unprecedented quadruple winning streak......

In the midst of all these things, it is impossible to see Derek. Rose played in the Finals and lifted the O'Brien Cup, which undoubtedly made Henson feel regretful.

But now, he can make up for it.

"Boss ......"

"I'll let you play when I need you, but I promise I won't let you play because I pity you. Go ahead, take a lunch break and get ready for the afternoon confrontational training. ”

Henson waved his hand, dispelling Rose's doubts.

Just now, Henson was still thinking about a problem, how to use the next speech.

Words: Get back on your feet: Restore a player to near peak condition for one game.

First of all, it takes a player who once had his peak but is no longer at his peak to be called back to his peak form. This condition is destined to make Henson unable to use his words on any player.

And now, Henson has the answer. Who should be used for this rhetoric, Henson has decided.
