When Cousins returned and filled the stat sheet with a stellar performance, the world thought it was time for the NBA to come to an end.

Five All-Stars, five starts, four wins...... All of these things make fans of other teams feel hopeless.

But on Jan. 28, the hardened Indiana Pacers said it wasn't clear how the season would end.

Henson with Rajan. Rondo and P.J. Tucker, two guys who have not been photographed this season, managed to intercept the Warriors, who have the league's most luxurious roster. There is no doubt that this will be one of Henson's classic battles again.

Of course, the title of "the most luxurious team in the league" of the Warriors, Henson does not recognize. In his own words, the Warriors' roster can only be regarded as the second most luxurious, and the first luxury is still his own Pacers.

This sentence sounds a bit arrogant, but no matter how arrogant Henson is now, no reporter will jump out and call out.

In this alliance of victories and defeats, victory is hard currency. As long as you can win, you can brag about yourself as much as you want.

Before the game began, 80 percent of the media said Henson and the Pacers were going to be finished. But after the victory, this 80 percent of the media seemed to disappear.

After all, this time, Henson didn't win any stinky fish and shrimp, but a five-star warrior!

And, it was Durant who scored 26 points and Cousins who scored a season-high 22 points to win the game.

Henson's perfect suppression of the Warriors made it impossible for reporters to find fault with it.

After this game, it also means that this devilish January schedule is basically over. The pressure on Henson's body was also much less in an instant.

Before the start of January, Henson was a little skeptical about his abilities. But now, he's confident of winning the title.

Against the Raptors, Celtics and Warriors, Henson lost just one game. And the loss to the Raptors is completely avoidable, and the Pacers are not as bad as the Raptors in terms of hard power.

If we can maintain this momentum in the playoffs, it will not be difficult to break out of the East or even win the championship.

With such momentum, the Pacers, who had just defeated the Warriors in the last two games of January, were naturally soaring.

In Washington, the Pacers beat the Wizards 107-88, and this is the second time this season that the Pacers have slaughtered the team from the capital.

In Orlando, Vucevic and Aron. Gordon's best efforts failed to prevent the doom from coming. George and Antetokounmpo teamed up for 63 points! Let the Magic team see the huge gap in talent between the two sides.

At this point, the Pacers' January devil's schedule is over. The Pacers lost just two games in January, which puts their current record at an unbeatable 45-4.

For comparison, the Warriors have a 36-15 record at this time. The Houston Rockets are even worse, with 29 wins and 20 losses. And Eastern teams such as the Raptors, 76ers and Celtics cannot match the Pacers in terms of record.

While Wade and Dirk have no desire for victory, Henson, who is also in the final season of his career, is still dominating the league.

There is no doubt that his last season will be remembered by all fans for the rest of his life.

After the January schedule was over, Henson was relieved, but the rest of the East was suddenly under pressure.

Originally, people thought that many teams would have the strength to compete with the Pacers for the Eastern Conference title this season. But in January, the Pacers became an out-and-out "strong team finisher".

Whether it's the Raptors, 76ers, Celtics or five-star Warriors, they all find their fantasies too rosy. If you want to fight the Pacers in the playoffs, you must continue to strengthen it.

So, at the beginning of January, all the Eastern teams began their reinforcement plans. A revolution to make up for Henson's strength has officially begun.

While the biggest trade rumors of the year came in Los Angeles, the Lakers were just thundering and raining. So far, the Lakers and Anthony. Davis's cooperation is still theoretical.

The teams in the east have begun to silently strengthen in order to fight against Henson.

On Feb. 6, the Pacers had just beaten the Heat, Pelicans and Lakers, three teams that weren't rivals. And it was on this day that the Philadelphia 76ers, the real rival of the Pacers, broke a very exciting news.

Woj broke the news on social media that the Philadelphia 76ers have reached a deal with the Los Angeles Clippers, and the Clippers will send Tobias. Harris, Boban. Marjanovic, Mike. Scott, in exchange for 76ers first-year rookie Randy Brown. Shamet, Wilson. Chandler, as well as the space type No. 4 Mike. Muscala.

The biggest protagonist of this deal is undoubtedly Tobias. Harris too. This season, Tobias. Harris averages 20.9 points per game, is the Clippers' leading scorer, and is the undisputed star of the game.

However, the Clippers gave Harris to the 76ers for the sake of their team-building policy! There is no doubt that for the 76ers, who have already established themselves in the East, Tobias. Harris will take their strength to the next level!

Tobias. Harris defends well, is tall and has long arms, can play two forward positions, and is full of advantages! Now, it would not be an exaggeration to say that the 76ers have formed a Big Four lineup.

Just two hours after Woj's revelations, the NBA officially announced the deal. Henson shook his head, other teams in the East had an arms race in the summer, and Henson was used to it. But he never expected that those guys would start an arms race in the middle of the season in order to beat him.

It seems that all Eastern teams have been suppressed by Henson for too long. Even if it's another year, they can't wait.

The Toronto Raptors are also making moves, and with Leonard, the Raptors' goal this season is naturally to win a championship.

Since you can't beat the Pacers now, let's continue to play after making up for it!

On Feb. 7, the Pacers beat the Pacers who had just lost to Tobias. Harris's Clippers are on a seven-game winning streak. And before Henson had time to rejoice, on February 8, the Toronto Raptors gave Henson another blow.

On February 8, before the NBA trade deadline, Woj broke the news again that the Raptors had sent C.J. Myers, Younas Valanciunas and Drang Wright in an attempt to trade for Mark Gasol!

This bombshell news came and shocked everyone at once. The news about Gasol Jr.'s departure before the trade deadline has been very clear, and just yesterday when most of the media, including Gasol Jr., thought he would go to the Hornets, the plot took a big turn.

If nothing else, he will go to the Raptors, who are second in the East! There is no doubt that this is a bombshell.

After the 76ers got Harris two days ago, some media predicted that it would be a fatal blow to the Raptors. That's right, although the 76ers are to strengthen to defeat the Pacers, but when the 76ers become stronger, they will naturally threaten the Raptors. After all, there are only two spots in the Eastern Conference Finals.

And just now the Bucks have also completed reinforcements, and Mirotic has joined Milwaukee, so the Raptors have to look for reinforcements.

So they set their sights on Gasol Jr., and it was previously reported that the Raptors were willing to send Kyle. Lowry and Valanciunas got Conley and Gasol Jr., but the Grizzlies asked for Conley at a higher price, so the chips didn't work out.

In the end, the two sides took a step back, the Raptors took one less Conley, and the Grizzlies took one less Lowry, completing the trade for Gasol Jr.

This deal is a send-off for the Raptors, and it is definitely a worthwhile operation to exchange for Gasol Jr. in the absence of a big change, and Gasol Jr. will partner with Ibaka on the inside in the next game! Just thinking about it, you can feel how strong the Raptors' defense is.

Gasol Jr. is past his prime, and he's getting older. But so far this season, he is still averaging 15.7 points, 4.7 assists and 8.6 rebounds per game. He can pass the ball, he can shoot threes, and he fits the Raptors' system very well.

The addition of Harris to the 76ers and Gasol Jr. to the Raptors undoubtedly made the two competitors of the Pacers a notch stronger in an instant.

But people never expected that the two operations of the 76ers and the Raptors made Henson inexplicably angry.

"He's probably the first manager in the history of the league to make such a splash."

"The Raptors traded with the 76ers for one purpose: to beat Henson. Joe. ”

"There are two strong teams in the East who are willing to continue to strengthen in order to beat the Pacers, and to be honest, it is a testament to the strength of the Pacers."

Yes, the Raptors and the 76ers are so actively trading because they can't beat the Pacers.

Looking at the trading news on his phone, Henson suddenly felt a little big. Tobias. The intervention of Harris and Gasol Jr., two western warriors, will indeed make the situation in the east more complicated.

But so what? In Henson's view, this is just adding a little bit of difficulty to his own way to the title.

Since you want to play so much, I'll be with you to the end! You're just adding some gold to the Pacers' championship.
