137: The Secret of Frazier

Because of the delay in Henson's interview, he was also the last to walk into the locker room.

When he pushed the door open and walked into the locker room, there was silence in the locker room, and even Paul sat in front of his cupboard with his head bowed and without saying a word.

Henson looked at the crowd with a confused expression, then opened the door and walked out of the locker room to look at the door number, and then walked in again.

"I thought I was in the wrong locker room, what's wrong with you? Dead is not our style! Are you scared? Is falling behind by 13 points making you feel hopeless? If that's the case, then you can play well in the second half. Anyway, a team that gives up so easily doesn't deserve to win, let alone a championship! ”

After Henson finished speaking, he deliberately glanced at Paul. Sure enough, at the mention of the championship, Paul's body couldn't help but shake slightly.

"You're going to give up? Or do you want to continue to fight those bastards in the second half? ”

"Carry it to the end!" Paul was the first to stand up and answer, knowing very well that although the competition in the East is not as fierce as in the West, if you can't get past the Heat, it's useless to say anything.

"In the second half we had to improve our shots and adjust the feel of our shots. It's not that we didn't get our chances, it's just that the hit rate is just too low. I apologize to everyone for not doing a good job myself and wasting a lot of opportunities! As soon as Paul, the leader, spoke, no one dared to be lazy anymore.

At this time, Bruce, who had just joined the team for less than two days. Fraser leaned into Henson's ear and whispered a few words.

Henson looked at his shooting coach with some surprise, and then nodded, "Well, Coach Fraser has something to say to everyone." ”

The players were also stunned, usually shooting coaches have little tactical decision-making power. However, the truth is that Fraser is not explaining tactics to everyone. He just pulled out a small notebook and whispered to the players one by one.

Henson looked at Vogel and shrugged.

"In the first half, the Pacers' defense was mediocre, and it was obvious on the offensive end that they also took advantage of the weakness of the Heat's guard line. But the problem is, they can't get the basketball into the damn hoop. Coach Henson must be crazy right now, because the shooting problem is not something he can solve with his tactics. ”

"Of course, it can be solved tactically, and that is to let the players hit the inside a lot. Therefore, the Heat will definitely strengthen the protection of the basket in the second half. The Pacers have been eaten to death, Chris. Paul made a number of brilliant passes that couldn't convert them into points, and he must have regretted that he chose Indianapolis. ”

Barkley continued to taunt, but there was some truth to what he said.

Spoelstra really emphasized interior defense and beware of the Pacers' crazy onslaught.

"Put them to shoot and shrink the box!" This was the most common remark the Filipino coach had just said to his players in the dressing room.

The halftime break was brief, and after a few shows, the lights came back on, by which time Horford was on the baseline and ready to serve.

See Chris. Paul pushed forward unhurriedly, and Henson turned his head and asked Fraser, who was sitting next to him, "Are you sure it really works?" ”

"You're suspicious of Reggie. Miller and Steve. Did Nash hit the percentage? Fraser asked with a smile and didn't answer directly.

As he spoke, the Pacers had already attacked. The Heat guys followed Spoelstra's setup and directly put Paul in a big step, mainly blocking his breakthrough.

Paul wasn't in a hurry and beckoned to Horford for cover.

In terms of defensive blocking, the Heat still follow the principle of letting go of shots and not bursting. So Chalmers didn't press around the front, Joe. Anthony did not change his defense, but dragged back to protect the penalty area.

As a result, Paul borrowed the pick-and-roll and got a fleeting shot gap. "Queen Bee" didn't hesitate, just bypassed the cover and jumped to shoot!

James turned around directly and was ready to rebound and counterattack. Barkley also shook his head, why is Paul, who has always been smart, so stubborn today? If you can't vote, you don't have to vote.

Paul was aiming for the basket in the air, and at this time Chalmers had just gotten out of cover and had no time to interfere. Therefore, Paul had plenty of space and time to aim.

Unlike before, Paul aimed at the back edge of the basket this time and shot quickly!

The basketball crossed a perfect arc, and under the eyes of everyone, it was like a meteor, falling directly into the net!

β€œBang! In, Chris. Paul didn't know how many goals he conceded in this position in the first half. But as soon as the second half came up, it was very crisp! Finally, Paul's shot allowed Coach Henson's tactics to finally work. ”

Kenny. Smith shook his fist excitedly, that's right, if the Pacers were killed by the Heat so easily, it would be too wasteful of this opportunity to broadcast live across the United States.

"Well, it's just a goal, it doesn't mean anything." Barkley disagreed, and the Heat still led by 11 points!

Paul glanced at the bench as he stepped back, only to see Henson give him a thumbs up.

It's also magical, I listened to Frazier's advice, and when I shot the basketball, I aimed a little back, and the head came back!

Not to mention Paul, even Henson thought it was incredible, "How do you know how to tell them to aim?" ”

At this point, Fraser opened his small notebook and showed it to Henson. Each page of the notebook has a large circle drawn on it, like a basket. And on the ring, there are dense and small black dots, which are the distribution of the players' iron.

The rings on each page correspond to a player's shots. Fraser sat here in the first half of the game, and he recorded the distribution of each player after each iron! So it's easy to see the bias of the players when they aim today.

"Shooting basketball is a science and art that requires careful study for me. Paul didn't feel right today, and I noticed that most of his shots were in front of the basket, so I told him to stop thinking about hollowing into the net and aim a little bit deeper. As a result, you just saw it. So, it's not that hard to help a player aim for the basket. With that, Fraser closed his magic notebook, "The shooting problem is solved, and it's up to you to command, Henson." ”

Henson really wants to give Bird a bear hug now, forcing the king to find himself a bull!

At this point, the Pacers' pressing defense allowed James to make a passing error. In fact, James had no problem with the pass to Bosh, the problem was that the active West grabbed the first step and broke the pass.

George aggressively jumped for the ball and held the ball for the Pacers. Then he handed the ball to Paul, who instantly sped up and switched between offense and defense!

"The Pacers' aggressive scramble allowed them to get the ball, and it seems that 11 points down didn't dampen their enthusiasm! James fast chase defense, Chris. Paul is likely to be blocked if he goes straight to the basket! ”

Paul couldn't hear Kenny. Smith's reminder, but as a playmaker with a high ball quotient, Paul knows it without a reminder. How horrible James's chase was, Paul didn't want to try.

He burst to the basket to attract the Heat's defense and suddenly split the ball! Paul's split shot came without warning, because he was staring at the basket the whole time!

The basketball flew to the outside of the three-point line and was attacked by Danny. Green caught it steadily! Green didn't feel good in the first half, so Fraser also gave Green a few words of advice at halftime.

Fraser understands that every player has different shooting habits and a unique creativity. The coach analyzes these habits, finds the methodology and continues to guide them to improve.

"Left ...... Left ...... "Green thought silently in his heart, shoot quickly!"

The basketball arc is high, but the spin is fast. It's like an intercontinental missile, hitting the target with lightning speed!

"Brush!" The Nets flipped up, and the pleasant sound reached Green's ears, intoxicating him.

"Chase the three, Chris. Paul's wonderful pass and the warming touch of the Pacers allowed them to score 5 points in a row, narrowing the gap to single digits in one fell swoop! ”

After the goal, Paul high-fived Green, and then nodded at George, who had just fallen to the ground. This kind of young man who dares to fight, Paul likes it the most.

"Cheer up, it's time for us to take control!" Stepping back beyond the three-point line, Paul clapped his hands and shouted.

Everyone was on the defensive. The whole momentum of the team is completely different from the first half.

Henson stood on the sidelines with confidence and his hands around his chest. His iron-blooded army is never afraid of tough battles!
