591: The war isn't over yet

Game 2 of the Eastern Conference Finals, the game itself has nothing to say. It seems that after only one day, there is no way for the knights to find a way to fight the pacers.

Perhaps because they have adapted to the intensity of the Eastern Conference Finals, the Cavaliers have performed much better than the previous game.

Irving, who shot 4-of-11 from the last game, finally woke up today and became one of James' most effective assistants. Lefu felt as hot as yesterday, and frequently completed "assassinations" outside the three-point line.

As for LeBron. James, that's even less to say. Although George and Antetokounmpo have teamed up to clean up, even so, there is no way to completely lock up LeBron.

The only thing you can do against a player like James is to reduce his efficiency or score and not get a clean sheet.

The Cavaliers Big Three still played well today, but it was very strange that although the scene was lively, the Cavaliers scored frequently. However, every time and so Tyron. Lu looked up at the big screen, but found that the score was still very anxious.

This is mainly because the "Big Three" on the Pacers' side can always offset the goals of the Cavaliers' three.

As soon as Love hit a three-pointer, Antetokounmpo staged a difficult 2+1 layup. James broke through the dunk domineeringly, and George returned the favor with a smart three-pointer. Irving used his flower-piercing step to drive to the basket, and Paul used the cover to use the mid-range shot to save face......

Against most teams in the East, the Cavaliers have the upper hand in terms of the number of stars and individual ability. But against the Pacers, that advantage is gone.

So after halftime, with Irving, James and Love all playing well, Tarron. Lue found them still trailing by one point at 54-55.

Against other teams in the East, that will never happen.

After playing so well in the first half and still trailing, the morale of the Cavaliers players undoubtedly fell to rock bottom again. Back in the dressing room at half-time, Henson wasn't idle. He's not going to be complacent about a one-point lead, and Henson can't wait to go to the Finals and take on the Warriors since he got out of Pachuria.

So for the Eastern Conference Finals now, Henson just wants to end it all as quickly as possible.

At half-time, Henson was very emotional, "The second team has to play your aggressiveness!" Our starters and the Cavaliers are inseparable, and I need you to step up and pull the score away for me! Are you scared!? Scared of Cavour? Afraid of Shambaugh? I'm still afraid of a Derek who can't even shoot three points in an open position. Williams!? ”

"None of us are afraid, sir." Oladipo replied to Henson with a fist.

Henson smiled with satisfaction, then patted the big whiteboard next to him, "Then give me a nice job!" ”

So in the second half of the game, the balance began to be gradually broken.

James, Irving and Love are still doing well, and Paul, George and Antetokounmpo are still up against them. But once it was time to rotate, the Cavaliers seemed to be a high school team in an instant.

In the face of the onslaught led by Oladipo, the Clevelands were helpless. Tyron. Lue changed a lot of people to defend Oladipo, including DeLong, Richard. Jefferson and Shambaugh, so to speak, all those who could give it a try, he tried.

However, in front of a scoring-hungry Oladipo, Taryn. The people of the Lu faction are not good.

Watching the Cavaliers' bench be blown up by Oladipo, Tyronn. The only way Lu can do that is to increase the minutes of his starters. To put it bluntly, it's the main force of death.

But the result of this was that by the time the fourth quarter came, James missed several opportunities to burst into the basket and score due to physical exhaustion. No matter how strong LeBron is, he is also a physical mortal. When he plays more than 40 minutes in such a high-intensity game two games in a row, he will not be able to bear it.

So in the last 3 minutes, George and Antetokounmpo combined with a burst of throws to take away the game.

At 120-109, the Pacers won again at home, and the series total score became 2-0.

"Victor. Oladipo, remember the name. Just a year ago, he was considered the Pacers' most unsuccessful signing. But look at the present, since Coach Henson put him on the bench this season, he's nothing short of a rebirth. ”

After the game, Reggie. Miller is full of praise for Oladipo. Although this game was ostensibly a "fairy fight" between the Big Three and the Big Three, it was actually the young player who once called for wind and rain at Indiana University that tilted the balance of victory.

After the game, James did not give any interviews to reporters, but walked briskly back to the players' tunnel.

Although the Cavaliers reversed the Warriors from 3-1 down last season and won the championship, James was well aware that this time he returned to Cleveland with a score of 0-2, and the series situation was already very bad for the Cavaliers.

Because that guy Henson is not like Cole, he will never miss a chance to kill the other party!

On the Pacers' side, in addition to Oladipo, who scored 23 points and 5 rebounds, Henson is the most popular person among reporters.

At first, reporters were asking regular questions. For example, ask him how he arranged his substitution strategy, ask what he said to the players at half-time.

It wasn't until the end that the interview finally got to the point.

"Coach Henson, Zaza. Pachulia responded to your pre-match remarks, how do you assess it? ”

Hearing this, Henson's eyes lit up, as if he was more interested than this victory.

"Pachulia answered me? I thought he would run away with his tail between his legs like he would close the comments section of social media for the rest of his life. What did he respond to me? Henson asked with interest.

"Pachulia said, uh...... I will quote Pachulia next. He said: Don't meddle in your own business and play your own game. Everything he does is for the championship, and even when he meets the Pacers, he'll still do what he has to do. ”

"And then?"

"It's gone."

"Gone? That's gone? Henson's eyes widened, as if he was very surprised.

"It's gone." The reporter replied with a bewildered expression.

"Hahaha, that bastard of Pachuria! Mr. Reporter, if someone scolded you for being a mongrel, would you still be so calm about the championship? What's his name? Be a thief! But not everything can be prevaricated with a sentence of 'I'm here for the championship'. Tell him! ”

Henson looked at the reporter solemnly, as if a fire was burning in both of his eyes.

"Tell him that I will do what I have to do to him. He should be honored because as a nobody on the Warriors, he managed to capture my attention. He doesn't want to talk nonsense with me, but wants a war!? Well, I'll give him war! ”

After Henson finished speaking, he pointed to the camera, as if pointing at Pachuria.

Under the eyes of the whole world, the Chinese coach officially declared war on Pachulia and the Golden State Warriors!

The reason why Pachulia responded so gently was obviously that he didn't want to make a big deal out of it. Pachulia knew very well that in terms of means, he could not compare with Henson.

But Henson didn't take it, and if Pachulia admitted his faults, forget it. But Pachulia refused to admit it and felt that there was nothing wrong with what he had done, so Henson would not show mercy.

Henson really wanted to see how funny it was that Pachulia couldn't get used to seeing himself and couldn't get rid of his expression.

※※※

LeBron. James was depressed today.

Himself, 30 points, 7 assists and 4 rebounds. His little brother, Irving, scored 23 points very efficiently today. Of course, Love is no longer "transparent", and his double-double of 21 points and 12 rebounds is not outstanding.

The Cavaliers' "Big Three" all played their own level, but in fact, they still lost by 11 points. All this made James feel very depressed.

Could it be that the Pacers are really so strong that even the Big Three can't take it down? Could it be that his championship dream will be thwarted by Henson again?

At that moment, James saw the TV in the locker room showing Henson being interviewed by reporters.

"Tell him that I will do what I have to do to him. He should be honored because as a nobody on the Warriors, he managed to capture my attention. He doesn't want to talk nonsense with me, but wants a war!? Well, I'll give him war! ”

On the TV, Henson pointed viciously at the camera and said this to Pachuria.

Although this sentence was addressed to Pachulia and the warriors, James was furious when he heard it! Henson. Does Joe mean that he has already skipped the Cavaliers and regarded the Warriors as his next opponent!?

"Damn, don't look down on people!" James punched himself in the leg hard, a star who has been in the spotlight since the first day he entered the league, but today he was ignored by a coach, can he not be angry?

Back in Cleveland for the next game, James promised that he would make Henson's blood debt.

To the Pachulia war? Don't forget, the Eastern Conference Finals, but it's not over yet! When I get to Cleveland, I'll show you what real war is!

The defending champion is not so easy to give up.
