467: Season 1 of the Saga
When Henson saw Leonard again on the training ground, he was still very strong and shapely. It seems that he has not relaxed his maintenance of figure because of a month of injury.
It seems that Leonard has really succeeded in completing the task assigned to him by Henson. This guy certainly didn't relax his training while recuperating from his injury.
"Kawaii, welcome back! I told everyone to stop being polite to you in today's confrontational training. ”
Henson walked up and gave Leonard a hug and squeezed his arm. This guy looks like everything is fine. What kind of injury happens once in 40 years is not a problem in the face of the effect of the badge.
"Don't worry, I'm not going to be polite to them. I can't wait, coach. Leonard was expressionless, but Henson believed he should be very happy. It's just that this guy doesn't like to show his emotions on the surface.
Watching Leonard restart training, Henson smiled with relief. The 2013-2014 season is destined to be a season that belongs to Henson. Joe, part of the Indiana Pacers' season.
Today, it's April 14th. There are still 4 days left until the start of the playoffs of this season, and there is only one game left. At this time, the Pacers' record is an incredible 72-9. Compared to the same period last season, it was exactly the same.
But it's clear to everyone that this season's Pacers have 72 wins, which is a lot harder than last season. Because by the time Henson returned, the Pacers had already lost nine games.
However, Henson was stunned with an incredible wave of 29 consecutive wins to get the team through this half season safely. That said, the Pacers haven't tasted defeat since his return.
Not only that, but the half season of Henson's return allowed the Pacers to break multiple league records again.
The 29-game winning streak broke the 27-game winning streak set by the Heat last season and became the second-longest winning streak in the league. It's a pity that Henson won the league's second-longest winning streak last season because of his 25-game winning streak, so he was not rewarded for his 29-game winning streak this time. And just 72 wins have made the Pacers the only super team in NBA history to score 70+ wins in two consecutive seasons!
While neither record will give Henson a chance to earn a selection reward, Henson is not worried because he still doesn't intend to give up the win in this upcoming match. 73 wins, 30 consecutive wins, and a winning record since his return...... Henson will not easily abandon these milestone achievements. Not only is he going to win 70 this season, but he is also going to break the Bulls' record of 72 wins!
And after the next game, Henson's experience accumulator, which is becoming more and more difficult to fill, has finally reached the cap. So, by winning the next match, Henson unlocks two picks at once. And there is no doubt that these two opportunities to pick rewards will make Henry's playoff journey more secure.
But then again, the current Pacers are afraid that they can kill all sides in the playoffs without the power of the badge.
After all, since their wins over the Heat and Spurs at the end of March, the Pacers have been unbeatable. They wreaked havoc during the regular season and didn't have too many serious injuries.
During this half-season, only Paul sprained his knee and Horford injured his ankle. However, these are all minor injuries, and the two are still able to play in good health.
The return of Leonard on the hurdle of 72 wins has undoubtedly taken the Pacers' already strong strength to the next level. Therefore, even without the badge, Henson is confident that he will survive to the end in this playoff battle.
In the whole league, there is no team that can stop the Pacers.
But before the playoffs begin, Henson and his players have one more thing to do. That is to win the last game of the regular season and become the first team in the league to win 73 wins!
Because of this, on April 16, the last regular season game of the NBA was selected by ESPN as the national live broadcast game!
Pacers vs Magic, it was supposed to be a game with no highlights at all. After all, the Magic have only won 23 games so far in a whole season, which is not even comparable to the number of consecutive wins in the second half of the season since Henson's return.
However, the magic has become a famous backdrop for fans around the world. They also know that they were selected for the All-American live broadcast not because of themselves, but because of the Pacers' 73-win record.
Anyway, whether this game is won or not will not have any impact on the Magic team this season. Therefore, the players of the Magic team will not do this kind of detrimental thing to others.
Since the victory in this game no longer means anything to Orlando, it is better to give this victory to the team that needs it more.
Therefore, in the game on April 16, ESPN was very embarrassed to find that both sides actually sent a full bench lineup to fight!
The Magic, on the other hand, no longer want to fight, and Henson confidently begins to conserve energy for the playoffs.
But fortunately, at least Leonard, who just returned from injury today, got the chance to start. Therefore, this game is not without interest.
Before the start of the game, Mike. Brin began to build momentum for this embarrassing national live broadcast, "Let's see what kind of state Leonard will be in to meet the playoffs after returning from injury!" ”
So in this game, the Magic started small forward Morris. Hakris became the most pitiful person. No matter where he is on the pitch, he has to face that expressionless face and the terrible defence he brings.
Harkis is 2.06 meters tall and is very good at the exhibition. With his height, it's hard to defend in the number three position. What's more, today, Hakris also got a lot of shots.
However, under Leonard's defense, Hakraz's height advantage was instantly wiped out. Hakris took 14 shots in the game, but only scored six points. Apparently Leonard's form hasn't slipped due to a month-long injury, after all, the finger injury won't affect the rest of his body.
So this national live broadcast between the Pacers and the Magic was turned into his own national live broadcast by Leonard. There is only one thing to watch in this game, and that is how good Leonard's form really is.
'Kawai is in a pleasing state and it's like he's never left. Vogel laughed out loud as he watched Hakris on the pitch tortured to death.
"yes, we'll be happy with his condition. But our opponents are probably already starting to burn out. Henson replied lightly.
A team without Leonard's Pacers has swept the league in half a season. And to add a Leonard to that...... Henson can't believe how desperate the other teams in the East are right now.
Forty-eight minutes later, the Pacers defeated the Magic 101-86 at the Amway Center in Orlando. Although it was just an ordinary victory, the achievements that followed the victory were anything but ordinary.
"73 wins! 73 wins! After winning 72 wins in the regular season last season, Coach Henson broke this incredible record with his own hands! And after this game, the Pacers have won 30 in a row! Since Coach Henson's return, they have won 30 out of 30 fights! This is also the only team in the NBA that has won 30 consecutive games since the Los Angeles Lakers continued the 71-72 season! ”
Mike. At this time, Brin has forgotten the boring process of the game just now, after all, the last terrible record is the meaning of today's national live broadcast.
"The Los Angeles Lakers in the '71-72 season, sitting on Welt. Chamberlain and Jerry. West's two superstars. Because of this, the Lakers were able to win 33 in a row! And the Pacers, although they don't have stars of the caliber of Chamberlain and West, they have lost the whole team, and most importantly, "Mike. Kevin next to Brin. Harlan paused, "The most important thing is that they have a legendary Henson. Coach Joe! ”
30 consecutive wins, 73 wins, a Leonard in excellent form...... Henson accepted the congratulations of all the fans, opposing coaches, opposing players and reporters, and it can be seen that the Chinese coach is really in a good mood today.
As he interviewed reporters, Henson's eyes appeared again with the words he could see.
The Chinese head smiled, and the reward has arrived! In the next playoffs, the legend of the Pacers will continue to be written!
Three-in-a-row, dynasty, championship! was able to play so vigorously in his final season, and Henson was extremely satisfied......
