Feb. 14, Cleveland Quickfinance Center. Kelly. Irving's 22 points are unrecognizable, and Turkish center Semi, who has only played a total of 41 games in the NBA and averaged no more than 5 points per game. Elden, magically shot 7-of-8 for 18 points.

In the first game of a back-to-back, the Cleveland Cavaliers caused big problems for the Pacers. It can be seen that even a lottery team like the Cleveland Cavaliers wants to steal a win from the Pacers.

In normal times, Cleveland people would never have such illusions. But if the Pacers are in a back-to-back schedule, everything is completely different.

Will Coach Henson save his strength in Cleveland and use all his energy on the Heat and Hawks? If so, why don't the Cavaliers win a game to comfort their grieving fans?

Although Paul is now able to wear a corn-yellow jersey, there is still some "credit" to the general manager of the Cavaliers. But the Cavaliers general manager didn't do it because he wanted to help the Pacers, he just hated that kind of star-studded approach to play.

So, in the face of the unexpected backlash from the Clevelanders, Henson didn't get his wish to put the game in garbage time. The game wasn't decided until the final minute, 98-90, and the Pacers players battled it out for 48 minutes in Cleveland.

"Damn the knights, they did it on purpose." Although he won, Henson couldn't help but curse after the game.

Henson's original plan was to drag the game into garbage time early and then give the main players more rest. Unexpectedly, the game was dragged to the last moment. The thought of going to Miami to play the Heat in 24 hours left him couldn't cheer up the victory.

"Don't be greedy, Henson. At the very least, we avoided a three-game losing streak. Vogel patted the Chinese coach on the shoulder, and in his opinion, it was a blessing in misfortune for the players not to get injured due to overwork during this period.

After the match, Henson didn't even attend the post-match press conference. Because the Pacers had to leave Cleveland and head to Miami immediately.

On the 15th, the American Airlines Center, a live game in the United States between the Pacers and the Heat did not disappoint fans. Dwayne. Wade's comeback has greatly strengthened the Heat, and at the same time, it is also seen by Heat fans as a matchup for Wade to prove his All-Star starting ability.

It was a thrilling matchup that brought the game to a climax from the first second of the first quarter, during which the maximum difference between the two sides was no more than seven points. It wasn't until the last minute of the game that the winner was finally decided.

Spoelstra had expected the Pacers, tired from the fourth quarter, to habitually collapse, but it backfired. He couldn't believe that the Pacers' players were able to maintain their form after such a dense schedule.

However, in the end, it was the Heat who defeated the Pacers 107-103, and the Miami fans got their revenge. This season, the "total score" between the Heat and the Pacers has become 1-1 again.

"Although the Pacers couldn't win the miserable game, their performance deserves respect. Chris. Paul had 24 points, 11 assists, 3 steals, and only 1 turnover, beating Wade's 16 points and 6 rebounds, justifying his All-Star starter. Horford also recorded 19 points, 6 assists and 8 rebounds today, showing his strength as an All-Star center in the East. It's just a shame that Norris. Kerr's unannounced outburst destroyed the Pacers' efforts. Who would have thought that this first-year backup guard would actually contribute 20 points to the Heat today!? ”

After the game, Mike. Bolin felt sorry for the Pacers. Although 24 hours ago, the Pacers were still dealing with James's old club at the Quick Loan Center. Today, however, the Pacers' mental state was remarkable. Even if the Heat and Pacers are given another fight, the Big Three can't guarantee that they will win.

After the game, Henson also took the initiative to take the responsibility for the loss, without any shirking, "The responsibility for losing this game is mainly on me, my players played no worse than the opposing players, but I didn't play against Norris. Cole does his research. So everyone saw that he destroyed this night that belonged to us. ”

In fact, Henson limited the Big Three pretty well today. James finished with just 23 points on 46 percent shooting, one point shy of Paul. Wade and Bosh also scored only 16 and 13 points respectively.

It's just that, as Henson said, he focused all his mind on the Big Three and ignored the others.

It seems that this season's Miami Heat has indeed made some improvements in the thickness of its roster. In addition to the Big Three, there is finally a fourth person who can stand up and help the team.

Listening to Henson's serious answers to questions at the press conference, the reporters were a little unaccustomed to it. They thought that the Chinese coach would use a set of verbal skills to get back what he had lost.

"In the next game, the final game of back-to-back games, the Pacers will return to Indianapolis to face the Hawks. The Eagles have already won you once this season, do you think the team has the fitness to handle tomorrow's tough battle? Seeing that there was no value worth digging into this game, the reporters then led the conversation to the next game.

After all, Henson and Larry. Delong's hostility has long been well known. Also sitting in his current position as an assistant coach, Drew took more than ten years, and Henson only took a dozen months.

So with Larry. According to Drew's assessment, Coach Henson is just a "half-coach". As a result, the feud between the two sides continued into this season.

After the Pacers lost to the Hawks in the last game, Larry. Drew even used the word "in its original form" to describe Henson's command.

"Hmm...... Atlanta Hawks, they're really tough to tangle with. But don't forget, the next game is fighting on my turf! ”

Sure enough, that bomb-like Henson. Joe, it's back!

"Coach Henson's best trick is not one big or four small, nor is it a quick counterattack, but a bluff! Even if defeat is imminent, his mouth will make you think the Pacers are okay. ”

On the TV, Larry was playing. Footage of Drew being interviewed at the airport. Henson, on the other hand, drank milk and ate fried eggs, enjoying the delicious breakfast that Angeli prepared for herself.

Henson and the team arrived in Indianapolis in the middle of the night last night, and after a brief training camp this afternoon, the team will go straight to the game against the Hawks, and the time is quite short.

However, Henson was not anxious at this time, he found that his house was spotlessly cleaned up after returning home yesterday, and when he woke up in the morning, he immediately saw a table of steaming mornings, and his mood was much happier. There's a woman in this house, it's different.

If Vivek knew about Henson's treatment, he would probably be jealous of him.

"Tonight's game, do you think it's better for me to dress casually or formally?" At this time, Angeli was tinkering with her face in front of the dresser, and by the way, she was still thinking about what kind of image she should appear on the Pacers' bench tonight.

"Let's be casual, it's still cold outside, you can't wear a skirt." Henson couldn't help but glance at Angeli's suitcase, although he was only here for a few days, but the clothes in Angeli's suitcase, if it were Henson, it was estimated that it would be enough to last for a year.

"By the way, Henson, I also got a set of clothes for you, you were in too much of a hurry last time and forgot to bring it to you!"

"Clothes?"

In the afternoon, Henson had just walked into the training ground when he saw that the players had already started to warm up. However, when Henson walked in, almost everyone stopped what they were doing, and their eyes fell on Henson.

"Look at what? Prepare for the game! Henson shouted, and the players all laughed.

"Boss, what suit brand do you endorse? This suit of yours is too individual, borrow me to wear it for a few days. Stephenson was the first to come up.

The reason why Henson is in the spotlight is precisely because of the suit that Anjiali prepared for him. The blazer Henson was wearing at this time was not pure black as before, but was covered with flower patterns, and the whole suit was colorful and very bright. Of course, the younger style also suits Henson's status as a "young marshal".

"Tut-tut, I guess there will be a lot of female Pacers fans screaming for you today." Vogel couldn't help but take out his mobile phone to take a picture, although the league stipulates that the head coach must wear a suit or a casual suit, but there is no rule that the head coach must wear a solid color suit to enter.

It's just that most of the suits are pure black or pure gray, and this color is more in line with the image of the head coach, so everyone wears this very formal color very tacitly.

I believe that today, as soon as Henson appears, it will inevitably usher in the attention of many people.

"Okay, tonight you'll have time to admire my suit. For now, let's focus on how to beat the Eagles. With a big wave of his hand, Henson officially began today's training.

Hopefully, the fatigue reduction badge will allow you to survive this game.

After all, Henson really doesn't want to lose at home to Larry. Drew, that old rival!
