Before the start of the Finals, the NBA officially announced the final list of each Team of the Year.

Among them, Pacers forward Paul. George and Janis. Antetokounmpo was both named to the Defensive Team of the Year. So much so that Leonard was squeezed into the best defensive second team.

As soon as this list was announced, it immediately caused an uproar. Both of a team's starting forwards were selected for the best defensive team, which shows how terrifying the team's forward defensive ability is.

And this result is also superficial, at least in some people's minds, George and Antetokounmpo are better defensively than Leonard!

After the announcement of the best defensive team, Kevin. Durant immediately became the focus of discussion. Because he's about to play against a first-team defensive line-caliber liner, Durant is in the spotlight.

"It's quite possibly the toughest series Durant has ever played because the players defending him are tougher than ever."

Kevin. Durant is just coming back from injury to face such an opponent, which will definitely make it extremely difficult for him to play. ”

"If Kevin. Durant was choked by Henson, so whether Curry and Thompson can stand up in time will directly determine the outcome of the game. ”

Durant would never have imagined that one day, his scoring ability would be questioned. But he's not worried, because he'll soon be able to prove that even the best defensive strikers don't want to surrender themselves!

Championship, he doesn't want to wait any longer!

Kevin. Durant broke through with the ball on the right side, while the "Splash Brothers" crossed positions with each other and covered off the ball.

The Pacers' defense can't focus on one person because the Warriors have just too many offensive points.

Durant faced George's lone defense, broke through and made a mid-range pullup jump shot. This type of attack is what Durant is good at, so even if he is interfered with by George in time, Durant has a lot of certainty.

He shot lightly, repeating the same move that he had done thousands of times on the training ground. Antetokounmpo originally wanted to rush over to help defend, but Green's cut made Antetokounmpo unable to pull out.

So, Durant easily threw the ball in front of George, who was selected as the best defensive team. The fans in the bankers living arena let out a sigh as it was Durant's third consecutive goal.

"A beautiful pull-up jump shot, KD has put this technique to good use. I can't say Paul enough. George's defense wasn't tight enough, but that's Durant. Even a tight defense may not be able to contain him. He's one of the best scorers in this league, and always has been! ”

For his seventh point, Durant's consistent scoring helped the Warriors take a five-point lead. After Durant hit the half-volley, Henson called a timeout. He didn't expect Durant to feel so good today, and the so-called "strongest defensive forward" hyped by the media must have angered Durant.

So, sometimes Henson really wishes the media would shut up. Most of the time, they're doing the wrong thing.

If it weren't for the crazy hype of the media, maybe Durant wouldn't be playing so vigorously today.

At this point, the game had only been played for four minutes. But after just four minutes, Henson could see that Durant was unstoppable today!

There are always a few players in this world that are difficult to defend against no matter what method you use. Without such qualities, they are not qualified to be called superstars.

And Durant, unfortunately, is one of them.

Henson, of course, could have Antetokounmpo and George lash out at Durant, which might make Durant less efficient in scoring, but it wouldn't allow the Pacers to win the game.

A team like the Golden State Warriors will not let go of any gaps.

So, Henson turned his attention to the bench. If you can't defend against it, then work the score!

Henson had high hopes for his bench players today, and he is confident that the group will not let him down.

Badge: Role Player Revelry: All substitute players are in the best condition.

This badge he almost used in the Eastern Conference Finals, it's time to put it to work!

"Well done Kevin, keep putting pressure on their front line! What bullshit defending a frontline at the level of a shit, I don't care! As long as you can keep putting pressure on their fronts, the Pacers will definitely change their defensive strategy at that point. Once that happens, Stephen and Clay, you'll have plenty of opportunities! When the time comes, I hope you can all seize the opportunity! ”

Steve. Kerr was very serious from the start of the game, and he didn't want to miss a single opportunity to crush Henson. Every round, every timeout, Kerr hopes he can hold his opponent down.

The Warriors were able to easily defeat the Trail Blazers in the last round, in fact, it was precisely because the Trail Blazers were weak at the front and lacked the ability to switch defenses. And forward defense is precisely the Pacers' strong point.

But when the Warriors regained Durant, Kerr was more than willing to start with the best of his enemies. and so that the sharpest part of the Pacers' defense was breached. Henson, of course, was helpless.

Kerr thought he had everything in place, but when the game restarted and Kerr found out that Henson had made a substitution so early, he panicked a little.

Henson. Joe, what the hell are you doing!?

"Substitution!? The game had only been played for four minutes, but Coach Henson had already started to make substitutions. And this rotation ...... IMHO, I recognize it as a bad substitution decision. ”

On the court, Rajan. Rondo and Siakam replaced Brogdon and Brooke respectively. Lopez. That said, now the Pacers are a small lineup. Antetokounmpo played center, and George dropped to the second position.

The substitution was unpredictable, with neither Rondo nor Antetokounmpo being able to open up space, and the lineup's ability to create space was very weak. And the Pacers are now behind, and the three-point shot is their best edge to chase points.

Besides, the game was only four minutes old. Henson's substitution in this way seems very inappropriate.

"Kill them!" Cole didn't care what Henson was thinking, he only knew that if he didn't seize this opportunity, he would definitely be spit on by the goddess of victory!

On their first offense after returning from a timeout, the Warriors looked incredibly confident on the defensive end. Green stuck to Antetokounmpo and didn't give the Greek monster any easy catch.

Just after defending Lopez, Green also has to worry about Lopez's threat from beyond the three-point line. But now it's much better, and he can keep Antetokounmpo from eating and walking around with just one heart protecting the frame.

Rondo glanced at Henson after half-time, and Henson nodded slightly. This may be the first time in history that Rondo has listened to Henson like this. Because even Rondo thinks Henson's plan is a little too crazy.

"You're gambling, Henson." Becky. Harmon nervously reminded Rondo when he saw Rondo begin to execute his tactics.

"I don't deny it, but you can't deny the fact that I've never lost a bet." Henson smiled confidently, and in the eyes of others he was gambling. But in his own opinion, the result was already predestined.

Rondo passes the ball to Antetokounmpo, who holds the ball and prepares to break through. At this point, the Warriors' defense was semi-contracted, but Rondo was completely empty.

Antetokounmpo didn't hesitate and gave the ball to Rondo. The basketball jumped into the hands of the No. 9 guard, and the Warriors turned around, but they didn't mean to pounce to make up for it.

As most of the time, Rondo was completely empty from beyond the three-point line!

"Damn it!" Rondo cursed secretly, and then made a decisive jump shot!

If others knew Henson to Rajan. Rondo arranged a three-point shot and would surely think he's crazy. Not to mention the others, even Rondo thinks Henson is crazy. That's why, he's just going to take a look at Henson to confirm the tactics.

But the task given to him by the head coach can only be carried out by Rondo. So, he didn't hesitate to shoot.

Rondo's self-confidence in three-point shooting has gone up a lot this season, but he is also well aware that his three-point shooting is not consistent enough. If you can't shoot, the situation will be even worse for the Pacers.

"Brush!"

Just as Rondo was thinking, the ball went in. With a long-range shot from beyond the three-point line, the Pacers are now trailing by just two points.

"It's fine!" Rondo smiled slightly, and he realized that his shot today was amazing. But how does that guy know about himself...... Forget it, Henson always knows everything!

"Look, didn't he throw in?" Meanwhile, off the pitch, Henson pointed at Rondo with his chin. Becky. Harmon swallowed, even she was impressed by Henson's magic.

Badge: Role Player Revelry: All substitute players are in the best condition.

For others, Henson is gambling. But using Henson's badge, he just knew that Rondo was going to shoot a good three-pointer today.

"It's okay, keep being aggressive!" Kerr was dancing on the sidelines, and it was clear today that he was much more nervous and excited than Henson.

Rondo's goal was an accident in Kerr's view, and an accident in a basketball game is unlikely to change the situation. What's more, it's a higher-level finals!

This time, Durant continued to focus on offense. He still chose to break through, he was not afraid of tiredness, only of failure.

But this time, when Durant was just jumping up and ready to shoot, he had nothing but Paul in front of him. In addition to George, another pair of big hands appeared!

Without a doubt, it's Antetokounmpo!

"Janis. Antetokounmpo, who was very quick to make up his defense. Durant shot iron, and the best defense of a first-class forward successfully stopped Durant! ”

Mike. Brin waved his arms excitedly, and Durant was a little surprised. He didn't expect that this time, Antetokounmpo's supplementary defense would be so decisive.

This is actually related to the change in Henson's position, as Cousins' form is still uncertain, so although he returned from injury, he did not start. So, the Warriors are playing the No. 4 spot with Iguodala and Green at the No. 5 spot today.

Just now, Antetokounmpo was facing Iguodala. Iguodala's long-range shot threat from the open space didn't want to be tempted.

But now, Antetokounmpo's alignment is Green. In the playoffs this season, Draymond. Green shot just 20 percent from three-point range. What is this concept? That means his three points aren't as accurate as Antetokounmpo!

Therefore, Antetokounmpo can now safely and boldly let go of Green and help defend Durant with George!

All of Henson's substitutions are not a whim!

Rondo took the defensive rebound himself and then made a long pass straight to the backcourt. His long ball was very accurate and went straight into Siakam.

At this point, there was only one Iguodala behind Siakam. Moreover, Iguodala is still three or four positions away from Siakam.

What else is there to say about this? A one-handed slam dunk, Siakam helped the Pacers equalize! This buckle also allowed him to completely shatter the media's doubts about him!

He's the Player of the Week, he's not a liability!

"Beautiful dunks, Rondo and Siakam combined to give the Pacers an equalizer. Exciting matches, neither side will be easily knocked down! ”

Henson's substitution duo helped the Pacers equalize immediately with their own excellent performance, and the effect of his adjustment was immediate.

Steve. Cole swallowed, this is exactly what Henson. How terrible is Joe......
