The Magic lost to the Pacers, and it was a near-crushing 4-1 scoreline.

There is no doubt that such a result shocked the whole world. Except, of course, Indianapolis.

"I already knew that Henson could lead the team to qualify, and maybe next season, everyone will have to watch out for your O'Brien Cup!"

"Henson. Joe's achievements over the year are in everyone's eyes, and I know he's been questioned, but you have to admit that he's good. ”

"Coach Henson brings a new energy to Indianapolis and he will become another important basketball figure for Indianapolis!"

In the face of reporters on the streets, Pacers fans all expressed their love for Henson.

Indianapolis is a magical city that gave birth to Michael. Jackson, who gave birth to Larry. Bird and other legends.

And people seem to believe that Henson. Joe will be the next thunderous name!

While the Indianapolis were still cheering, far away in Chicago, at the Union Center, the fans shouted "MVP" to the No. 1 who stood at the free throw line!

"Listen to the sounds of the scene and see Derek. Rose's performance! It's as if we're back in possession of Michael. Jordan's Age! ”

The Bulls cheered excitedly as the team commentators cheered, and at the same time, Rosgar hit a free throw, and the MVP's chanting instantly turned into a tidal wave of cheers.

With two minutes left in the game, the Philadelphia 76ers trailed by 15 points. By this time, the series aggregate had come to 3-1. If the 76ers can't turn the tables in the next two minutes, they're going home.

It's clear that Rose doesn't intend to give the 76ers a respite. He continued to attack the inside and continue to cause damage. No one could believe that Rose was playing with an injury today.

Of course, the Bulls were able to achieve such a big lead, and Rose was not alone.

"British Jordan" Lowe. Deng has scored 24 points, and Noah has 14 on the books. The Bulls made 14 three-pointers as a team, and six of them scored in double figures!

Ever since losing to Henson in key moments of the regular season due to poor offense, Thibodeau has been improving the Bulls' offense. Now, people are finally seeing what the Bulls are doing on the offensive end.

As the minutes ticked by, the fans in the United Center all stood up. The guards were on standby, for fear that the fans would rush into the stadium.

"Beep!" The beep sounded, and the rebound glowed red.

At that moment, the United Center shook the mountains! Derek. Ross stood on the field and pointed slightly to the stands with his hand. With the flick of his fingers, he can cause an earthquake in Chicago!

At this point, there is only one thought in people's minds: "Michael. Jordan is back! The legend of the Red Bull will unfold again! ”

Countless reporters flocked to Rose, and his youthful and resolute face appeared on the television screens of all fans around the world, including Henson.

"Derek, congratulations on leading your team to the Western Conference Semifinals! In the next round against the Indiana Pacers, do you think you can continue your progress? ”

Ross crossed his waist and looked at the camera. I didn't say much, but I made my point very clear.

"Our goal is the championship!"

Rose replied solemnly, giving the Bulls fans a collective orgasm.

"Another scrappy guy." Henson smiled, remembering that a few days ago, Howard had also said that their goal was to win the championship.

However, Ross is indeed more qualified to say such things. In terms of Henson's judging criteria, the Chicago Bulls and Orlando Magic are not teams at the same level this season.

The Bulls were indeed evenly matched with the Pacers, with Henson and Thibodeau playing each other four times during the regular season, winning two games each.

If you want Henson's evaluation, Rose said that his goal is to win the championship, which is still more reliable.

The Eastern Conference semifinals, which is no longer on Henson's radar, have exceeded their goal this season.

The Pacers' lineup is not prepared to reach the Eastern Conference Finals or the Finals, the task of this lineup is to make the playoffs, that is, to play in the first round.

If the Pacers want to continue to advance, it's as unrealistic as a guy who only gives you 100 dollars and asks you to buy a building.

But Henson didn't plan to give up the Eastern Conference semifinals directly, maybe he could use the "100 yuan" in his hand to play four or two thousand pounds.

After all, he also has a word at his disposal that resets the player's morale to 80 and provides the player with a low-amplitude stat boost for 5 games......

If you use this card well and make a surprise for the Pacers, like George or Stephenson, the Pacers won't necessarily lose.

Now Henson is struggling with whether to use this technique or not. Due to the randomness of the rewards for the data analysis module, it is not certain that you will get whatever rewards you want.

So like this kind of "plug-in" that has a somewhat unnatural effect but can only be used once, Henson may not be able to draw it again.

If he had used that in the Eastern Conference semifinals, he would have reached the Eastern Conference Finals. But the Eastern Conference Finals met the Heat, and the Pacers were also unlucky.

The chances of them making it to the Finals are slim to none, as the Pacers' roster this season isn't built to play in the Finals, they're just a playoff team.

Spending a very valuable reward only ends up making the team play one more round, and Henson needs to consider whether the effort and gain are not equal.

Maybe we can wait until later, when the Pacers are stronger, and use this rhetoric to fight for a championship?

Remembering Chris, who is likely to join the team this summer. Paul and Leonard, Henson seems to have made up his mind.

※※※

On the training ground the next day, Henson was pleased to see that the players had shaken off the joy of the victory over the Magic and were fully committed to preparing for the Bulls.

In fact, it was Henson's unsmiling attitude today that affected the players.

Most of the players on the current Pacers roster are personally selected by Henson. Like Stephenson and Matthews, it was because of Henson that he ate this bowl of rice in the NBA. And players like Granger and Horford, who were not selected by Henson, have also played well because of Henson's tactical arrangement.

As a result, Henson's grip on the team is incomparably firm. A coach can get along with everyone off the field, and can let the players play to their strengths without being aggrieved and win by the way, it is easy to get the recognition and respect of the players.

This season, Henson has done well in all of these areas. So although he is only 31 years old, although he is only a rookie coach. But as long as Henson has a look, the players know what to do. Just like now, no one dares to slack off on training when Henson is serious.

"Derek. Rose, what a headache, all indications are that guy is about to become the youngest MVP in NBA history. "Frank. Vogel smiled bitterly, Vogel's biggest feeling after playing this season is why awesome players are always in the hands of others.

"yes, 60+ wins in the regular season. This is the best result for the Chicago Bulls since 1998. In other words, this is another rise of the Chicago Bulls since the Jordan dynasty! ”

"Do you think it's possible for us to go further? The Chicago Bulls are completely different from the Bulls at the start of the season, Noah is back, and the team is running in almost perfectly. Thibodeau has given the Bulls an impregnable defense, and they'll soon have an MVP. And we, it seems, lack a very sure point of attack. ”

"Really? I don't think so. Among the five positions of the Bulls, the defense at the No. 2 position is actually not as strong as it seems. ”

"You said Keith. Bogans? No, Henson, that guy is a defensive stalwort! Previously, in San Antonio, Popovich would even use him to freeze the opposing team's top scorer. ”

Vogel is well aware that although Bogans does not appear in the media very often, he is a superb trick.

"It depends on who he's defending." Henson set his sights on George, who was practicing his shots with the interference of his trainer and frequently hitting them.

After equipping the badge that increases the progress of the whole team, George's performance is getting better and better......
