"It seems that our Henson coach has been obsessed with female college students lately and has no intention of directing the game. Take a look at his last-minute set-up in the last game before Monta. Ellis has scored 34 points, but Henson still lets Holiday go one-on-one with Ellis. So I'm not surprised that the Pacers were killed. ”

At this time, on T.NT's Inside NBA program, Charles. Barkley was laughing at a photo of Henson playing on the Berkeley campus.

After all, Barkley has not been very receptive to Henson's style of play and coaching philosophy. During the Pacers' two-game losing streak, Henson was photographed dating his girlfriend, which naturally became a point for others to attack Henson. And Barkley at this time, just grasped this point.

"I was surprised that Coach Henson was with a female college student. Of course, Henson's ability to fool people is enough for him to charm a female college student. If only he could put those little cleverness into the game, that would be great! ”

Barkley continued to complain, apparently not yet aware of Angeli's origins. If Barkley knew that Henson was in a relationship with his boss's daughter, it is estimated that Barkley would be able to tell the sky with his mouth.

"While Coach Henson's choice of mate is really special, I'm not very interested in Coach Henson's private life. What I want to know more now is how Coach Henson will deal with the Trail Blazers in the next game. Under Aldridge's leadership, the Trail Blazers have recently come out of a three-game losing streak and won four in a row. ”

Kenny. Smith doesn't plan to turn this basketball show into gossip, since it talks about the Pacers and Henson, the opponent of the Pacers in the next game is a topic that can't be avoided no matter what.

"What else can I do? He can't handle it! "Kenny. As soon as Smith's words fell, Barkley snatched the right to speak strongly.

"Aldridge is going to knock Granger out of the psychological shadows! Coach Henson's abandonment of the number four position will eventually cost him. And facing the Trailblazers, this is the moment when he pays the price! Have you forgotten? Blake. Griffin scored 47 points against the Pacers! So don't be surprised if Aldridge also scores forty or fifty points in the next game! ”

Barkley was triumphant, perhaps he had forgotten the last time he had looked down on a Chinese man so much.

"Even the Clippers and Warriors can't beat it, and the Pacers want to challenge the Trail Blazers, who are sixth in the West? I bet, Charles. Coach Henson will end his sweet western journey with a four-game losing streak! ”

Barkley's words were televised and caused a lot of waves in fan circles. Of course, the news also reached Henson's ears.

January 22, Portland Rose Garden. In the tunnel before the start of the game, a T.NT reporter stopped Henson to discuss Barkley's remarks.

"Sir 'Fliggy' could have made a book heavier than himself, but apparently no one would do that. Not because of the weight, but because his words have no nutritional value! Bet? Barkley never won a bet, and he didn't dare bet with me. If the Pacers continue to lose, Lao Tzu will strip naked and run around the court! Did Barkley dare to undress and run around the studio? He didn't dare. But I'm not like Charles, I'm not a coward! ”

Henson responded viciously to the camera, and the reporter froze in place, not knowing whether Henson was joking or angry.

Angry Henson walked into the dressing room, and the players were very serious. They know that the boss is unhappy, and that you'd better not mess with him.

Because of the very individual "dialogue" between Henson and Barkley, this game immediately attracted the attention of many fans.

Many neutral fans watched the match live on T.NT TV. They weren't interested in the game itself, but they wanted to see if Henson was running around the pitch with his clothes off or Barkley was running around the studio with his clothes off when the game was over.

Because just after Henson's interview, Barkley also responded immediately: "I'm betting with you, Coach Henson!" ”

Henson did this because he was genuinely angry, not because he wanted to share with Barkley. The media's use of Anjiali's story about the team's results is what Henson feels extremely angry. By doing so, the media will undoubtedly get that innocent little girl into unnecessary trouble.

But Henson isn't the kind of man who has no strategy, and he believes that after two inexplicable losses in a row, luck won't play tricks on him anymore. That's why I'm so confident in front of the camera.

Today, luck didn't play a trick on Henson. However, the progress of the game did not go as smoothly as Henson expected.

At first, Henson wanted Granger to put pressure on Aldridge with a fierce confrontation. However, once the game started, Henson's strategy proved to have no effect.

Aldridge, who is 2.11 meters tall, has to eat and drink on Granger's head, and the most important thing is that this guy's shooting ability in the confrontation is terrifyingly stable!

He used just one turnaround jumper after receiving the ball from the waist position to beat the Pacers' defense to pieces. Aldridge's moves are not flashy, nor are they explosive. But he used the most unpretentious way of shooting, tormenting the nerves of Henson and Granger.

The Trail Blazers established an early lead at home, and Aldridge was simply unstoppable in the box. He scored 12 points on 6-of-7 shooting in the first quarter. Even though Granger had tried as hard as he could, Aldridge was as steady as a machine.

This 06-year-old list is like a cold-blooded killer who likes to crush the enemy step by step in silence!

At 34-22, the Trail Blazers relied on Aldridge to build a 12-point lead in the first quarter. It looks like the Pacers, after two consecutive defeats, will inevitably be slaughtered in the Rose Garden.

"Looks like using Granger to top Aldridge isn't going to work, Henson. Perhaps, we still have to go to the heights. After the first quarter, Vogel whispered a reminder next to Henson.

Henson nodded calmly, and although he seemed to be at ease, his heart was not as calm as it seemed.

Trailing by 12 points in the first quarter was a devastating blow to the team's morale. If Henson can't motivate the players in time, then the Pacers will be crushed in one fell swoop.

And it's no use just motivating the players, Henson has to really find a way to limit Aldridge. If you just be a "chicken soup coach" and only talk about it without real material, Henson will soon lose the trust of his players.

But in order to stabilize the morale of the army first, Henson can't act panicked.

"Twelve minutes have passed, have you adjusted to the environment here? This is the Rose Garden! This is the home of the Trail Blazers! Don't be fooled by the romantic name, because less than 20 of the 19,980 people here believe we win the race, and that's us! It's not romantic at all, it's a battlefield for men! ”

Things have to be done step by step, and Henson first has to regain the confidence of the frightened young people. After that, it's a tactical adjustment.

"Yes, I still believe we can win, and I hope you feel the same way as I do! From now on, forget about the embarrassment of the first quarter, just treat the score as if the score is still 0-0! Calm down, gentlemen, we still have three full quarters to regain control. Don't give up so quickly, you're not the kind of little girl who gets scared when things happen, are you!? ”

"It's not."

"It's so noisy here, I can't hear it clearly!"

"We're not, chief!"

"Very good, then I don't have to wipe your tears! Listen, in the second quarter, Horford you went to mark Aldridge yourself, I don't want to see him score with ease! ”

"McRoberts, you're in the number five position! After the Trail Blazers lost Oden, the No. 5 spot has not been strong. I don't want you to dominate the box, but I want you to do your best to protect every rebound and then make every mongrel who tries to make a mistake in the box pay! ”

McRoberts and Horford nodded vigorously, and whether the Pacers can slow down depends on whether the interior can start to change.

These two transposition arrangements make the Pacers' interior line taller. In order to deal with Aldridge, Henson had to sacrifice some mobility.

After the start of the second quarter, Trail Blazers fans and Ross Barkley scoffed at Henson's substitution. The last time McRoberts wanted to turn around the 12-point difference? Henson is daydreaming!

"Oh my God, Henson is going to be the first person in NBA history to be naked on the court. Ben's Coach! Barkley said smirkly in the studio.
