"Iguodala hit a three-pointer at a critical moment to help the Warriors crush the Thunder and kill the game."

"Iguodala's key steal buries the opponent's good situation, and FMVP shows his magic again."

"Iguodala: No surprise Kerr let me play in the final quarter."

......

The above news must be very familiar to Warriors fans. Because those headlines will appear in sports news related to the Warriors every once in a while.

No one would dispute the fact that Iguodala is Mr. Key for the Warriors. However, is Iguodala a Warriors superstar? On a team that has Durant, Curry, Thompson and Green at the same time, Iguodala is really not much of a star.

But it was this guy who was not a star who repeatedly saved the Warriors from fire and water.

So, Henson's point is right. Moments of truth don't always have to belong to superstars!

In today's game, the Cavaliers did a decent job of restricting the Pacers. James defends George, and naturally there is no need to say much. Tristan. Thompson's defense of Antetokounmpo also played a certain limiting role. Paul didn't feel good today and didn't hit a lot of shots. Green, too, was a little embarrassed by Shambaugh's defense.

Therefore, at the critical moment, Henson could not let the Cavaliers continue to defend so comfortably. On Oladipo? Not too good a choice. Although Oladipo has outstanding ability and has only just scored 28 points in the last game against Magic, it can be said that he is in good shape.

But the downside of Oladipo is that the whole world knows what he's going to do. As long as it shrinks slightly, Oladipo's attack power will be greatly reduced.

Therefore, Henson now needs someone who is unexpected, someone who is also likely to step up at a critical moment, but the other party is not expecting.

And Brogdon, who was personally trained by Nash, is undoubtedly the best choice.

Once again, Henson handed a chance to a rookie. Back then, George, Leonard, and Jimmy. Butler, aren't they all famous like this?

The Pacers tradition, it has always been.

"Malcolm, come here!" Henson made up his mind and waved his hand and called Brogdon to his side.

Named by the coach at a critical moment, Brogdon did not panic. He methodically took off his training uniform, his face expressionless, and trotted over to Henson.

25 years old, as a rookie, such an age is indeed too old. But such an age also gives him a calmness and calmness that other rookies do not have.

After more than a dozen games, fans have also discovered such qualities as Brogdon. Although he is a rookie, he is always steady with the ball. After all, he has two major point guards at his side, Paul and Nash.

And he has such a personality himself, so if you don't think about it, you might even forget the fact that he's a rookie.

"Boss." Brogdon walked up to Henson, nodded slightly, and then stared at the board earnestly.

"In the last moments, Brogdon. I don't need you to handle the ball like a point guard, I need you to be a fixed shot or a breakaway finisher. ”

After hearing what Henson said, the players were startled at first, but quickly regained their composure.

Surprising, it's because Henson actually put so many stars out of his way to use Brogdon as the main attack in the last few minutes. Then the reason why he quickly returned to calm was because it was not the first time Henson had made a surprise move.

After the tactics were arranged, the timeout was just over.

Accompanied by a shrill electronic beep, the leader of the Cleveland Cavaliers, LeBron . James stepped onto the pitch. With a four-point lead over the Pacers in the final three minutes, there is no doubt that his revenge plan is almost half the way through.

As long as the Cavaliers can withstand the last 3 minutes, James's grievances in the past three years can be vented.

In fact, when Henson retired, James was quite sad. He didn't feel sorry for Henson, he felt sorry for himself that he could never beat him again.

Now that he has a chance for revenge, how can he not seize it?

Just after a timeout, Cavaliers coach Tyronn Brown. Lu didn't make any substantial tactical changes either. He believes that as long as the team continues to perform like this, they can win the game. What's more, at the critical moment, James knows what to do.

But when the Pacers players played, Tarron. But Lew and James' hearts tightened. Sure enough, the guy changed formation again.

"Malcolm. Brogdon, Coach Henson used this second-round pick to replace Danny, who was also a second-round pick. Green. We don't know what Henson's purpose was in sending Brogdon on the pitch, maybe it wasn't at all, it was just to disrupt the sight and TV by sending him on the pitch. How to judge it depends on Taryn. Lou's decision. ”

As we all know, Henson always likes to change formations at critical moments and catch his opponent off guard. But Brogdon and Jimmy of the year. Unlike Butler and Leonard, he has been calm in the previous eleven games, but only in his composure. People don't see much potential in him.

At the very least, Brogdon doesn't have the potential to be a super scorer. So, Barkley and Kenny. Smith's speculation about the purpose of Henson's substitution is unclear.

No matter how bold Henson is, he won't let a player who averages less than double digits in points per game compete with James for dominance in key moments, right?

They didn't know that Henson was bolder than they thought!

After the restart, Henson stood on the sidelines with his hands folded around his chest. The camera gives Brogdon a close-up, this guy is old like a veteran guard who has worked hard in the league for more than a decade.

Playing in the last three minutes, it didn't put him under pressure.

In the opening first attack, Antetokounmpo led Love out of the three-point range. Brooke. Lopez set up cover for Antetokounmpo, and it looked like Henson was planning to use Antetokounmpo for the final three minutes.

Sure enough, Brogdon was just here to disrupt the audio-visual.

However, there was only a fake cover between Lopez and Antetokounmpo. Lopez made a block and quickly pulled away, while Antetokounmpo suddenly passed the ball to Brogdon, who was in position on the right side of the court.

Before Shambaught could react, Brogdon suddenly broke through! This second-round show is not fast, and the body is not strong enough. But his unexpected start-up still caught Shambaud off guard.

Don't think that Brogdon is just an off-ball pitcher, his ability to break through with the ball and block and pick and roll with the ball is also very good.

Because the Cavaliers' interior line was empty by Antetokounmpo and Lopez, James did not dare to leave George without permission to make up for the basket. So this time the defense completely became a one-on-one between Shambaugh and Brogdon.

Brogdon smacks to the basket and leaps into the air. Shambaugh wasn't easy to mess with, he jumped hard and straightened his arms. Blocking the opposing defender's layup, Shambaugh did not do less.

However, in the air, Brogdon calmly changed the ball from his right hand to his left. A nice turnover layup that left Shambaugh pounced.

Like Holiday back then, Brogdon is a well-balanced defender with both left and right hands. So, this guy can, it's not just an open shot.

"A nice change of hands in the air, the Cavaliers put their defensive focus on Antetokounmpo, and that allowed Brogdon to take his chance. He played smartly and with composure. Brogdon played up his strengths and avoided his weaknesses, and did not fight hard with Shambaugh. With two points, Brogdon's goal left the Pacers just two points behind. ”

Barkley smiled, and he knew that Henson would never sit idly by when it mattered for him.

On the ensuing defense, George deliberately drove James to Brogdon's side.

Although Brogdon has slender arms, he is not as good as Iguodala. It stands to reason that there is no way he can stop James.

But Henson asked George to deliberately lure James closer to Brogdon, not to want Brogdon to fight James.

Just when James fell into the defensive trap and chose to break through between the two. Brogdon suddenly reached out with his long arm and tried to cut the basketball off James' hand!

The moment the opponent breaks through and starts, it is the best time to steal! This is equally true on an amateur field court or a professional arena like the NBA!

Seeing that the basketball was about to go to Brogdon's hands, James hurriedly divided the ball, and the target was naturally Shambaugh.

But at the moment when James started to pass the ball, Brogdon was ready for a steal. He held his hand to his chest and held the ball that James had passed to Shambaugh.

A steal at a critical moment, Brogdon did it!

Brogdon immediately got the ball and let Paul handle the break! Paul made a quick push with the ball, while the two forwards, George and Antetokounmpo, cut in from the left and right flanks.

Now, Paul has a lot of options for handling the ball. He can split the ball for George's pullup jumper or do an aerial relay for Antetokounmpo. Or, finish the offense yourself.

However, the knights were prepared, and they were heavily guarded by both George and Antetokounmpo.

But when Paul passed the ball, the Cavaliers players realized that his strategy was not any of the three above, but to return the ball to Brogdon, whom the Cavaliers could not have imagined!

Brogdon catches the basketball from beyond the three-point line, pulls it up and shoots!

"Huh!?" Shambaugh, who was desperately chasing George, was stunned, and when he came to his senses, Brogdon had already landed a three-pointer with a knife in his hand.

James and Tarron. Lu didn't know what was going on, but he was overtaken by a nobody's 5 consecutive points.

Brogdon didn't celebrate, didn't show off, didn't even have an expression after the goal.

He just nodded silently, then turned around and continued to defend himself. This guy is so composed, a little scary.

For the first 10 games, Henson liked to use Brogdon as a pure point guard. And his most common offensive method is to block and dismantle with the ball.

But these two rounds allowed Henson to discover Brogdon's correct instruction manual.

Brogdon isn't the kind of pick-and-roll defender who is creative and doesn't have a particularly strong ability to ignite the team's offense.

It can only be said that the occasional cameo is enough for the number one position.

But what if you let him break through or shoot at a fixed point, and let him be a cold-blooded killer? Henson found out that this guy seems to be very good at it!

Nash was right, this guy is great, he's really great.

After Brogdon scored five straight points, the Cavaliers didn't dare to take a timeout. Because at this moment, Taryn. There was only one last timeout left in Lu's hand. And that pause will definitely not be used unless it is absolutely necessary.

So now, the question the Cavaliers have to face is whether to continue to defend George and Antetokounmpo, or to focus some of their attention on Brogdon.

Henson didn't care what the Cavaliers chosen, because no matter what they chosen, he already had an offensive plan in place.

His purpose in replacing Brogdon was to disrupt the Cavaliers' defense, and as long as the Cavaliers made a choice, Henson's purpose was actually achieved.

The next thing to do is simple, Henson needs to find a comfortable position to watch the Cavaliers and LeBron struggle to perish.
