097: We have all-stars too

The Trail Blazers' players are significantly less comfortable with the Pacers' style of play, and Corningham hasn't been as good as they could have been at the No. 4 position.

McMillan gave Conlingham a lot of playing time today, but Collingham never played as well as he should.

One big and four small, not everyone can play it.

In the second half of the game, the pace was completely controlled by the Pacers. The extremely fast switching speed between attack and defense makes the pioneers who like to play positional battles at a loss.

McMillan also tried the traditional two-post lineup again, but the result was that Horford played well in the low post.

Unless the Portland Vet "Veters" can now put Roy or Marcus. Camby was cured immediately, otherwise McMillan wouldn't have been able to play any tricks today.

At the end of the third quarter, the Pacers had a 10-point lead. However, even so, Henson did not let up, and he still told the players not to take it lightly.

In the first two games, Henson lost because of all sorts of unthinkable things. Griffin's Sudden Burst and Monta. Ellis's unreasonable final kill made Henson still have palpitations.

Now that he's managed to take a 10-point lead, Henson asked his players to do everything possible to prevent that kind of unthinkable from happening again.

Henson proved to be less unlucky, and Aldridge and Batum resisted stubbornly in the fourth quarter, but their performances remained on track.

Instead, it was Wesley. Matthews' four three-pointers in the first quarter and Al. Horford's icing on the cake made it difficult for the Trail Blazers to parry.

Matthews is like this, he usually looks tepid, but when he feels really hot, he will have to "die".

In the end, the Indiana Pacers completed a comeback in the Rose Garden to set the score at 105-96. If it weren't for Henson's substitution of all the main players in the last minute, McMillan would not have been able to narrow the gap to single digits.

"It's over! Henson. Coach Joe's excellent employment strategy has stretched the wounded Trail Blazers! Wesley. Matthews scored a season-high 24 points, and it's hard to imagine that he was still playing in the Development League last season. This season, he is already an excellent NBA starter! ”

Kenny. Smith excitedly announced the Pacers' victory in the studio, and then he looked at Charles with anticipation. Buckley.

Barkley's face was expressionless, his gaze glazed over. He couldn't believe that the Pacers, who lost to the Clippers and the Warriors, could crush the tenacious Trail Blazers in the Rose Garden!

Sure enough, I don't fit to bet with any yellow-skinned guys!

T.NT's ratings soared, and all the fans switched over waiting for Barkley to make good on his promise.

Henson and the players also rushed into the dressing room to watch Barkley's "wonderful" live broadcast on the TV in the dressing room.

The locker room door was crammed with cameras and reporters were waiting to film the Pacers players seeing Barkley naked. What about the reaction after running!

"Charles?" Kenny. Smith called Barkley again, and Barkley looked at his partner in despair, then jerked himself up and began to take off his coat!

There was a strange scream from the Pacers' locker room, and the players began to heckle. Henson sat in the middle of everyone, surrounded by his players.

The players put their arms around each other's shoulders and stood excitedly around their manager. At this time, Henson really looks like the boss of a gang group.

Christine was the courtside reporter for the game, and now she's naturally in front of the Pacers' locker room. The current appearance of the Pacers seemed to remind her of the fun-loving boys in college.

This kind of good team atmosphere is something that Christine rarely sees elsewhere.

In the end, Barkley stripped off and appeared in front of the camera with only a pair of colorful boxer shorts.

Kenny. Smith was already smiling, and Barkley was running around the studio in his fancy shorts.

On the former "flying pig", the fat hit the audience's eyes like a wave. The Pacers' locker room exploded, with all the players screaming in an exaggerated way to "applaud" Barkley.

"Henson. Joe, you caught me this time! After Barkley finished running, he immediately picked up his clothes and ran to the locker room.

Barkley should be grateful to Henson, because from now on, the name of "Jazz Fliggy" will become known to everyone in the world basketball world!

At the press conference afterward, Henson responded to the incident in this way.

"Charles should thank me because of me, his historical status has been improved a lot."

With that, Henson lit a cigar in front of all the reporters.

Maybe doing so will give Henson a warning from the Alliance, but so what?

Now, he just wants to enjoy the victory.

※※※

A day after the race, a photo of Henson lighting a cigar at a press conference made headlines in newspapers and news websites.

Of course, the hottest man today is not Henson, but Charles. Barkley, a once-great superstar.

The comical image of Barkley running wild in the studio in floral shorts has become the most viewed video on YouTube in recent days. People even heard that there is a men's underwear brand that also took advantage of this matter to find Buckley to endorse the inside. Pants......

"I'm not going to bet with anyone anymore, I'm going to give up the darkness and turn to the light." In the face of reporters' interviews, Barkley also smiled helplessly and waved his hand.

Even Yao Ming, who is still recovering from his injuries, rarely expressed his opinion on this matter: "Maybe Charles. Barkley doesn't have a good memory, he said that last time. ”

In fact, Barkley doesn't really want to fix Henson, this guy just loves to play and make trouble. It's a pity that "Sir Fliggy" found the wrong playmate this time.

Seeing that Barkley didn't continue to beep, Henson stopped falling into the trap. This is the end of his gamble with Barkley, and I believe that in the future, Barkley will not dare to trouble himself and the team again.

With the Rose Gardens' comeback boost to morale, the Pacers played the rest of January's game in a decent way and didn't fall apart as predicted.

In the last four games of January, the Pacers have a 2-2 record. Although this record cannot be called excellent, it is not bad either.

The Pacers lost two games to the Magic and Bulls, two Eastern powerhouses, and against the Raptors and the Nuggets, who were troubled internally and externally, the Pacers won both games steadily.

Enraged George. Karl, the famous thousand-win coach, was beaten by Henson this season. What's even more interesting is that "Birdman" Anderson only played 15 minutes in this game. As Vivek said, there is a good chance that Anderson, who has lost trust, will be pardoned by the Nuggets this summer.

Since Mr. Carl doesn't use it, then I'll laugh at it.

And there was another incident in January that allowed Henson to get two achievements in one go.

At the end of January, the NBA officially announced the full list of All-Star breaks. The Pacers, who were considered to be the belly of the fish before the season, had two selections.

Al. Horford and Daniel. Granger has been named to the Eastern Conference Stars bench, which is undoubtedly very exciting for the two.

Henson Jean Al. Horford's change to an outside style didn't let him fall out of the All-Star rotation. After Granger switched to the No. 4 position, he became an All-Star player again after a year.

In addition to this, Zhu. Holiday & Matthews & Paul. The three Georges were also selected for the All-Star Rookie Game.

It's just a pity that players seem to have nothing to achieve if they are selected for the All-Star Game, Henson. Otherwise, Henson would have won a full five achievements in one breath!

Choose two of the six rewards, and you'll be spoilt for choice.

He started by ruling out badges that would increase attendance and fan favorite, two things that Henson doesn't really care about for the time being.

Subsequently, he ruled out badges that allowed you to see the manager's trust. Because even if he didn't know the exact number, Henson was sure that Bird must have trusted himself immensely now.

In the end, there are three rewards left, which are,

Speech: Teamwork, the effect is to increase the team's tacit understanding by 15% at one time.

Badge: Goodbye Friend: Effect reduces chemical damage caused by lineup changes by 50%.

Badge: Quick Recovery Level 1: Increases injury recovery by 10% for injured players.

After weighing the pros and cons, Henson opted for the latter two badges rather than the words that added to the team's chemistry. Because Henson is confident, even if he doesn't have "words", he can stabilize the team's tacit understanding.

The effect of the last two badges is something that Henson himself can't do, and he has to help with the help of the data analysis module.

He's not a doctor and can't make the player's recovery faster on his own. He's not a god either, and it's impossible to make all the players like each other.

If the Pacers make roster changes as a result of a trade, he doesn't want the team to be in a miasma after the trade.

Moreover, the Speech is a one-time consumable, and the last two badges are permanently valid when equipped. Even if you don't need it now, you can't get it ready.

After earning two badges, Henson also ended his entire January race.

With less than three months to go, the regular season will be over. The Pacers are getting closer to their playoff goal.
