3 days ago......

Henson walked into the team's strength room, which Henson rarely comes to as a rule. Because Henson is clearly more interested in the basketball court than in these equipment.

But it was on this ordinary afternoon that Henson walked into the strength training room and stood on the treadmill to set the time and speed. And next to Henson, Channing. Frye looked at his manager curiously. Frye knew very well that this guy didn't usually have a fitness routine

"Coach Henson, why did you come to run on a whim today?" Frye has also been with the Pacers for quite some time, having moved from the Magic to the Pacers in the original deal with Oladipo.

That said, this season is the first time Frye and Henson have worked together.

"Stay in shape, you know? Bird is now starting to struggle to wear shirts! I don't want to be like him. With a joke, Henson bridged the gap between him and Fry.

"Hahaha, but you're in good shape. By the way, aren't you the spokesperson for Armani? As a part-time model, you must have deliberately kept in shape. Frye said, glancing at Henson. As a veteran player, he knows very well that a coach like Henson who can sign a commercial endorsement is very rare in the league.

"It's not about staying in shape, it's just trying not to gain weight. By the way, Channing, I heard that your daughter is in Phoenix? How are her eyes recovering? ”

"It was discovered in time, so my vision has basically returned to normal. Chief, how do you know about my daughter? ”

In 2012, Frye's daughter, Margo, who was only eight months old at the time, was diagnosed with cataracts. If left untreated, you will become permanently blind.

Of course, since Frye is not a star, few people care about his private life. Therefore, not many people know about this matter. Many people don't even know that it turns out to be Channing. Frye has a daughter.

Henson, on the other hand, seemed to know everything about his past.

"What a joke, you're my player, of course I know you. I also know that you almost couldn't play basketball because of a heart problem. Therefore, you have a one-year truce. But now, it's back on track, isn't it? Henson smiled, making the atmosphere less serious.

Also in 2012, Channing. After suffering the bad news of his daughter, Frye was diagnosed with an enlarged heart muscle and a type of heart failure.

At that time, the doctor directly told Frye, "You can't play basketball anymore, you're going to die." ”

"yes, it's back on track...... Boss, do you have any ......?"

"Playing the Warriors in a few days, I want you to start. I know you're going to be under a lot of pressure and you're going to be going to run into Draymond. Green's frantic attack. We're all people who have had heart problems, and we're all still on the basketball court. So I know very well that as long as you continue to do what you are good at, nothing can help us. This heart doesn't work, Draymond. Green's even worse! ”

Only now, Frye knew what was going on. It turned out that the coach was giving himself a vaccination. He's going to be a starter......

"Don't worry, I know what I'm good at. I'm going to open up space for the team, I'm going to try to defend Green as well as I can, I'm going to try to get every rebound. Of course, I'm going to shoot those damn open threes. I'll be ready, sir. You don't have to worry about my state. ”

Frye showed a mouth full of white teeth, he just came to the Pacers to mess around? There have always been such voices from the outside world.

But this time, Frye was going to say to them, "No! ”

※※※

Cole didn't expect Henson to change formation, and moreover, he still put Channing. Frye is such a veteran as he has been pushed to the starting position.

Henson wants Antetokounmpo to play against Durant, which Kerr can understand. But Henson used Frye to play against Green? Cole thinks he's thinking about Green too simply.

After the start of the game, Brooke. Lopez from Zaza. Pachulia fought over the basketball.

The Pacers attacked first, while Channing. Frye played a role as soon as he opened the game.

Paul. George holds the ball around the cover and breaks through to Klay. Thompson, Henson deliberately let George, who has more breakthrough ability, go to play against Thompson instead of using shooter Danny. Green, that's what it does.

Thompson's defense is good, but it is not mainly reflected in the aggressiveness. It's that he doesn't get out of position easily and is always able to interfere with the opponent's shots. So, Danny. Green is the type of player who struggles when he encounters Thompson.

But Thompson, who is average athletic, is not good at pick-and-rolls, and normally, Thompson chooses to go around from behind to defend. The biggest drawback of this kind of defense is that you will die a miserable death when you encounter a player with excellent stop-and-go jump shooting ability.

So, Draymond. Green had to delay his past to defend George, who happened to be a mid-range shooter.

Seeing this, Henson on the sidelines couldn't help but clench his fists. QIAN Ning. Whether Frye can achieve an effect as a starter depends on this time!

George wasn't stupid, he didn't shoot against Green, but tactically distributed the ball to the hollowed-out Fry.

The moment Frye received the ball, a lot of voices suddenly popped up in his ears.

"That guy just went to the Pacers to mess around, with or without him, it's the same with the Pacers."

"Channing. Frye playing a starter? Is he of any use? ”

"It's just an old bone, not to be afraid of."

Frye smiled and made a decisive move! He remembered what Henson had said to him a few days earlier, "Just keep doing what you're good at, and nothing can help us." ”

Under Green's contemptuous gaze, Frye's first three-point shot went into the net! And the voices in his ears disappeared without a trace in an instant!

Henson let out a big sigh, and now, the space was completely opened!

Then, Green, who was enraged by Henson before the game, planned to force Frye's pass. Although Frye is not tall and not a muscular hunk, he is more aggressive.

From his first day in the league, Frye knew that if he wasn't tall enough to play inside, he would have to work harder defensively than anyone else.

This habit has been maintained until now, not to mention that during this time period, Frye's morale is still extremely high.

So under Frye's tough blocking, Green's forced layup became out of bounds. Cole shook his head, Henson, this is a serial plan!

Green, who was already in a bad mood, was even more upset by this attack and defense, and he was scored a goal by an old guy and still hasn't gone back, can Green not be angry?

But it's as if Henson used to comment on George. As Carr said, "If it had been useful to be angry, the Nuggets would have won a championship a long time ago." ”

It's useless to be angry with George. Carl so, to Draymond. The same goes for Green. This time defending, Frye and George continued to play pick-and-roll.

After George's breakthrough, Green didn't go to the defense, but stayed by Frye's side. His self-esteem no longer allows his opponent to score any more goals.

As a result, Thompson, who is not good at defensive blocking, had to face the destruction of the Pacers' number one star alone. He watched as George came up high and pulled up for a jumper, and there was nothing he could do about it.

"Brush!"

The sound of the Nets rolls again, but Steve. Kerr and his players didn't find it rosy at all. 5-0, the Pacers were extremely strong today.

Subsequently, Durant also tried to punish the Pacers with a pullup jump shot, but his punishment was broken by Antetokounmpo.

Antetokounmpo's height and reach are no less than Durant's, so Durant's shooting is sealed to his fingertips. Although a scorer of Durant's level is very resistant to interference, he is not strong enough to hit the interference every time.

The Warriors missed their second consecutive offensive miss, and so far, Henson's plans have all worked. The start of his change of formation had an effect as soon as he came up.

After that, the Warriors struggled with the Pacers' rhythm throughout the first quarter. Durant and Curry didn't rush on the offensive end. George disgraced Clay.

After entering the rotation time, Oladipo and Brogdon's backcourt pair of two shots made the Warriors still very embarrassed.

At the end of the 12-minute first quarter, the score was 28-23! The Pacers put up a tough game at Oracle Arena and went into the second quarter with a five-point lead.

After the Pacers players left the court at the end of the first quarter, Henson rushed to a sweaty Channing. Frye gave a thumbs up. The other players high-fived each other and hugged each other.

"The morale of the Pacers is really high, they swept away the previous gloom and fought very bravely at Oracle Arena! And all this enthusiasm seems to come from Henson! ”

Mike. Brin was enthusiastic to watch, and as soon as the Pacers came up, from the veteran Frye to the young man like Oladipo, they all showed the momentum to play with the Warriors.

On the other side, Steve. Cole wasn't so easy. The Pacers were more aggressive than he had thought, and neither Green nor Durant had performed as expected. I have to admit that Henson's change of formation has a remarkable effect.

But the Warriors weren't done yet, and Kerr looked at Thompson, who gritted his teeth and was beaten by George in the first quarter.

This fiery shooter hasn't started to play yet!

"Come on, it's only 5 points, it's not a big deal. Listen, in the second quarter, I want you to make the ball for Clay. ”

Kerr picked up the tactics board, and Henson didn't get too happy......
