321: Henson is also distressed
98-79, as everyone expected, the Detroit Pistons didn't give the defending champions the slightest bit of trouble. The difference of 19 points is enough to illustrate the difference in strength between the two teams, and the 21 consecutive wins are all effortless.
While the fans cheered and the players were surrounded by reporters, the bankers were the brightest stars of the night. But Henson. Joe didn't seem too happy.
After the game, he looked at the big screen with a face, and then left without saying a word. In the past, with his 21st consecutive home win, Henson will certainly not leave so honestly, and he will definitely attract everyone's attention with exaggerated celebrations.
But today, Henson is unusual. Some reporters even joked: "It's hard to be with George. After Armani had dinner, Henson finally understood what it meant to be low-key and introverted. ”
There is also a saying: "Bird may have had a very serious conversation with Henson because he was punished by the coalition for expelling journalists during media hours." And that conversation made Henson 'well-behaved'. ”
Henson naturally didn't know these two rumors about himself, and if he knew, he would definitely face the camera, and then say righteously: "You guys don't fucking fart anymore!" ”
Henson's low interest today is not because of the league fines, nor because he became a gentleman overnight after having a meal with Armani, but because of the game itself.
That's right, on the surface, there is nothing noteworthy about this game against the Pistons in itself. The difference of 19 points is already able to explain everything.
But Henson's eyes weren't on the 19-point difference, but on the Pacers' 19 turnovers today!
People can't always stare at the good side.
The Pacers' 19 turnovers today were heart-wrenching to Henson. This is also thanks to the Detroit Pistons, but against a slightly stronger team, these 19 turnovers can kill the Pacers.
Henson analyzed it after the game, and the reason for the 19 turnovers was not because the Pacers were too underestimated, but because they were too cautious!
That's right, "too much" cautious.
Henson believes that everything in this world must have a degree to be the most appropriate.
People who love cleanliness too much will become cleanliness, and people who don't love cleanliness too much will be very sloppy. The right amount of medicine can relieve pain, but an overdose of medicine can ruin your life. The same goes for basketball.
If it's too casual, the scene will definitely be controlled by the other party. But being too cautious can also make you miss out on a lot of fleeting opportunities.
And today, that's how the Pacers' 19 turnovers came about. Overly cautious Pacers players are afraid of mistakes, which in turn makes them miss out on a lot of good opportunities. And if you pass the ball after missing that opportunity, mistakes are inevitable.
It stands to reason that with a master of the court like Paul, the Pacers shouldn't be in such a situation. But Henson is well aware that the reason why the players are becoming overly cautious is because they care too much about this winning streak!
Now they don't want to win, but they are afraid of losing! In the face of a long winning streak, this mentality is the team's worst enemy! If it weren't for the Pistons, the Pacers' winning streak would probably have been broken.
So, even after a big win, Henson was still at a loss. This time, they can win against the Detroit Pistons. But with the same mentality against the Miami Heat, will they be able to win the game again?

Just half an hour after the defending champion Pacers defeated the Pistons at home, the Brooklyn Nets were also bloodied at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York.
And the bloodied one of them is the Miami Heat, who are about to collide with the Pacers!
"The Big Three are all in excellent shape, and it seems that the Pacers' 21-game winning streak has greatly boosted the self-esteem of those guys." On the commentary podium at the Barclays Center, Marvin Brown. Albert looked at the Heat's stats today with his glasses on.
James shot 24 points, 7 assists and 9 rebounds on 55.6% shooting, a typical all-around statistic. Dwyan, who suffered a brief injury in January. Wade scored a game-high 21 points on 56.3 percent shooting, and "The Flash" is now very healthy. Johnson didn't have a chance at his breakthrough.
Chris. Bosh certainly couldn't be ignored, scoring 16 points on 50 percent shooting, and since Bosh was promoted to the No. 5 position, his offense has been a little better. Against the league's muscles, Bosh seems to have a good set.
The Big Three combined for 61 points to help the Miami Heat win 105-85 on the road. You know, this season's Nets are not a belly team, they are the fourth in the East!
However, even so, the Big Three still easily eliminated them by 20 points. God knows if the recent excellent performance of the Big Three is consistent with the results of the Pacers.
"It's kind of influential," LeBron said in a post-match interview. James replied, "We all want to be the best team in the league, so their winning streak has always inspired us to push forward, and we are not to be outdone. ”
Hearing James say this, the reporters immediately became excited! Co-author, the Heat and the Pacers are on the bar!
"So the next game is in Indianapolis, will you stop the Pacers from winning a 22-game winning streak that is tied for all!?" The reporter put the microphone next to LeBron's mouth, and the eyes of the whole world fell on this Heat No. 6!
"There's no doubt about it," James looked at the camera, "we'll do our best!" ”
"Boom!"
It's as if there was a big bang in the whole alliance, a fierce war is brewing!

"Henson. Joe became the face of Armani? Oh. ”
"Armani invites Henson. Joe's endorsement brand? Well, I didn't expect that. ”
"That bastard can actually be a spokesperson, forget it, who cares?"
On January 31, a day after the Heat eliminated the Nets and the Pacers beat the Pistons, Armani and Henson announced on Twitter at the same time that the two sides had officially reached a partnership. Henson. Joe will be the face of Armani in North America, and Henson's suit will be provided by Armani for every game thereafter.
Originally, this matter should have been hyped up, after all, no coach in the NBA league has endorsed such a big brand of luxury clothing. But after this news was announced, the repercussions were not as great as expected.
Of course, this is not because Henson's appeal has declined, nor is it because people are not surprised by this matter.
The reason for the mediocre response to this matter is that the announced time point was not chosen. On the last day of January, there was only one thing on the minds of all basketball fans — on February 1, the Miami Heat will end the Pacers' 22-game winning streak at the Bankers' Living Arena!
The whole world is so immersed in the Pacers vs. Heat game that they don't care much about anything else. Originally, the matchup between the Pacers and the Heat, the two Eastern Galaxy battleships, was eye-catching enough. What's more, this game was also given a special meaning of a 22-game winning streak.
Plus yesterday at the Barclays Center, LeBron. James's bold rhetoric pushed the anticipation of this game to the climax.
And that's exactly what Henson doesn't want to see. The more the media exaggerated the peculiarities of this game, the more complicated it became for the Pacers players. They can't face the game with a normal heart, and the end result is certainly not very good.
Training that afternoon confirmed Henson's conjecture. After the whole training, it felt very ...... for Henson It's very "tight".
The players were nervous, their bodies were tense, and they couldn't let go of their hands and feet. The quality of the training is not very good.
"Will they be, too much pressure." Beside Henson, Stevens couldn't help but worry.
"Estimates, it's not just a matter of stress. It's okay, I'm going to try to get this out of the way before the game starts tomorrow. Henson scratched his head and said so, but how do you do it?
This big battle, which was stained by the media, made the fearless Henson feel a headache for the first time.
