149: Soaring acting
When Bryant hit that fateful three-pointer with just 12 seconds left in the game, Bird slammed the arm of the couch in disappointment.
He wasn't disappointed with Henson, he wasn't disappointed with the team's performance, he was simply disappointed with the result. It was because of the team's good performance and Henson's on-the-spot command that Bird felt the Pacers should be more deserving of the game.
It's just that due to the intense grappling, Henson had to use up all the timeouts early before. People may say that Henson won't plan it, but Bird knows that if Henson hadn't adjusted in time, there would have been no shootout situation now, and the Lakers had enough lead.
"Don't be so angry, even if we lose this game, we're still one of the best teams in the league." Pritchard was very calm, after all, he cared more about the result than the process than Bird.
What if you lose? Even if the Pacers' record becomes 11-2, will they be weak?
However, just when everyone thought the game was over, Bird saw Paul "accidentally" knock down Henson, who was walking on the sidelines with Gatorade, somewhat inexplicably.
Pritchard covered his head, Henson didn't have any major problems, but there were a bunch of minor problems. No, it's such a shameful thing.
But Bird smiled instead, Paul knocked down Henson? These two guys with extremely smart brains can't just fall.
So, moments later, when Leonard and Paul made wonderful cross-runs to pull away from the defense, when Paul held the ball firmly through the half court under the strong pressure of "Black Mamba", when the others tacitly faked inward, Horford and West opened up the space just right, and finally Paul threw a shot without warning. Bird jumped to his feet, shook his fist and yelled in the private room!
Sure enough, it wasn't a accident at all! No matter how good the Pacers players are, it is impossible to play such an exquisite shootout without any arrangement!
What's more, Leonard and Jimmy. Butler is a rookie, so how can they be so calmly interspersed with running and fake inside cuts?
There is only one truth, Henson. Joe's bastard had just been knocked to the ground, and everything was set up!
If there is no timeout, you can use this kind of indiscriminate means to find a timeout, but fortunately, it is not Phil who coaches the Lakers. Jackson, otherwise I have to make the old man angry with high blood pressure!
At the end of the game, the interior of the Consec Arena shook! Chris. Paul completed his first stunner since joining the Pacers, and Henson finally felt the thrill of having a big-hearted superstar.
In the past, it was the Pacers who were defeated by superstars from other teams. Today, Henson also experienced a refreshment moment when a superstar took over the game!
He knew very well that although he had just laid out the ball well. But the kind of ability to pass the half court without stopping the ball despite Kobe's high pressure, the ability to stare at teammates while moving, but suddenly throw shots and have accurate heads, not all guards have.
But fortunately, the Pacers' main guard is one of the best point guards in the league! Henson even thinks that he can get rid of all of them!
In the stands, the fans were boiling. On the court, the Pacers players also swarmed up and surrounded Paul. Among them was Coach Henson, who was wearing only a shirt and a tie and didn't know where to fly.
Just seconds earlier, however, he had been cursing from the sidelines, "complaining" that Paul had soiled his suit.
"That's cheating, cheating!" Mike. Brown didn't realize something was wrong until the moment Paul scored, so instead of leaving after the game, he walked to the technical table and yelled at the referee angrily.
But what's the use of that? Even if the league investigates and finds that Henson really violated the rules, it will be an additional fine at most. The result of this game is no longer possible to revise.
Normally, if the goal is invalid, the referee will watch the replay on the spot and then announce the result on the spot. But the NBA has no precedent for such a revision after the results have already been known, and it will never happen in the future.
Mike. Brin angrily slapped a bottle of Gatorade off the tech desk, refused all interviews with reporters, and had no choice but to leave.
On the court, only the Pacers players who staged a life-or-death moment were left to celebrate. The entire Consec Arena has been transformed into a sea of joy.
"It's unbelievable that an accident brought the Pacers back to life!" Mike. Brin quipped, even if he didn't have to replay it, he knew exactly what Henson had just done.
Penalty? If Henson had been afraid of fines, he wouldn't have smoked a cigar at press conferences repeatedly.
If the fine can be exchanged for a victory, Mike. Brin believes that Henson would prefer to choose victory.
And Jalen next to Brin. Rose, however, sat in his chair with a grim expression. After Kobe Bryant's shot, God knows Jalen. How many words did Rose prepare to wash away Henson. Unfortunately, those words are no longer useful.
"Boss, it's really you!" After breaking free from his teammates, Paul, who had won the kill, hugged Henson, the manager who had suddenly appeared on his doorstep.
Henson smiled and patted Paul on the back and didn't say anything more than make a sound: "Shhh
After that, the reporters surrounded Paul, who had completed the lore. Of course, Jimmy, who only played for a few minutes today, had a few good defenses. Around Butler, there were also several reporters who frequented it. Henson, on the other hand, was happy to get out of the dressing room and returned to the dressing room before the reporters could react.
As he walked through the tunnel, Henson's vision saw a few numbers from the data analysis module.
100/300, Level 1.
In other words, the thing that accumulates experience in exchange for rewards can accumulate 100 experience for winning a game, and you can level up with 300 experience.
Of course, Henson doesn't know yet that different ways to win will have different experience. For example, today is a lore win, so there is 100 experience. But if it's an ordinary victory, won't there be so much experience.
After the upgrade, the upper limit of the upgrade will be increased. For example, level 1 only requires 300 experience to level up. But it is possible that level 2 is 500 experience upgrade.
Henson had to try out all of these things slowly, but at least for now, in addition to unlocking achievements, he had another way to earn rewards.
Over time, Henson discovered that the data analytics module was rewarded with a lot of rewards that he hadn't seen before. God knows how many of these things are more rebellious.
While Henson was thinking, Frank. Vogel walked up and put his arm around Henson's shoulder with a smile, and it looked like the assistant coach was in a good mood.
"How's Henson, how am I acting? Lao Tzu knows that you don't have a good heart, hahahaha! ”
Henson shook his head, remembering Vogel's exaggerated performance when he had just called for his players to come over and "help" him.
"You're simply an Oscar for Best Actor, Frank."
has been with Henson for a long time, and even Vogel, who has always been well-behaved, seems to have begun to stick to "bad habits".
At the post-match press conference, several journalists who had already noticed that something was wrong did not shy away from asking Henson questions.
"Coach Henson, did you deliberately arrange for Paul to knock you down at the end of the game?"
Henson's eyes widened in disbelief. Vogel, who was watching live TV in the locker room, almost didn't laugh out loud, and his acting skills were simply the difference between professional and amateur compared to Henson.
"Deliberately? Do you know what I was thinking? I want to lay off this highest-paid guy! Luckily, his lore made me change my mind. Actually, I didn't know what was going on when I heard the cheers, I just knew that everyone was running on the field, and I was being squeezed up! When I got back to the dressing room, I found out we had won! As for that expensive suit...... Forget it, Paul will definitely buy me a new one, right? Henson finished and looked at Paul.
Paul scratched his head, how did he feel like he was being cheated too?
