544: You're too tender to scold
12 straight wins, 17 wins and 3 losses. The Golden State Warriors are currently the team with the most consecutive wins in the league and second only to the Pacers.
Although they lost one more game than the Pacers, they won once because the Warriors won over the Pacers. Therefore, in the hearts of Warriors fans, they are the first in the league with positive 2800.
Of course, that's what the Warriors' players think.
The night before the game started, just after the Pacers' victory in Los Angeles. Drummond. Green, the league's most notorious "big mouth," said on a Bay Area sports show: "The Pacers are just going to come here and walk around." ”
"We're on a 12-game winning streak and we've just beaten the Pacers once less than half a month ago. People say the Pacers are our worst enemy this season. But let me say that we have no enemies at all. I'll admit that the Pacers had their glory, but that's the past. Now, it's the era of the Golden State Warriors. ”
Green has always been a man of few words, and he is known for trash-talking on the court. I don't know how many stars have clashed with Green because of his trash talk. Among them, the one who has the deepest experience is undoubtedly James.
Playing in the Finals with the Warriors for two years in a row, James knows how annoying Green's mouth is.
Stephenson, who blew James' ear root a few years ago, is nothing compared to Green.
Not to mention James, even Anthony. A good-natured player like Davis has also had an unpleasant relationship with Green. This shows how broken this guy's mouth is.
Off the court, Green isn't a messy guy either. He has never shied away from making controversial statements in front of the media, and he has attacked his opponents on social media.
He never beats around the bush when he speaks, and if someone is easy to offend people as soon as he opens his mouth, he may be considered a bad tutor.
However, in another interview with ESPN, Green said that not only did he do this since he was a child, but his mother taught him, "If you have something to say, don't hide it, you don't have to worry about others and swallow it back." That's what my mom taught me since I was a kid, and I said whatever I wanted in my heart. In fact, I had to do the same in the environment where I grew up, and if I didn't have the courage to express my opinion, I would suffer a lot. ”
Indeed, for a player who grew up in a black ghetto, the right to speak is indeed a very important thing. After all, before, people like him had no right to speak.
Therefore, Green's current personality does not appear for nothing. Such an unobtrusive attack on the Pacers would not have come as a surprise.
"The Pacers are coming to the Bay Area, and we're going to give you a warmer welcome than last time! And, of course, there's the guy who will always just hide behind his back and point fingers. We'll show you what a super team is! ”
With that, Green stretched out his fist at the camera.
The next day, Drummond. Green's provocations against the Pacers and Henson have gone viral across the United States. As we all know, the "guy who hides behind his back and points fingers" in his mouth is Henson.
When he woke up at the hotel the next day and saw the video, Henson wasn't angry, he just thought it was funny.
Think back in the day when he dominated the league, Drummond. Green is still a nobody. In just two years, he has become one of the hottest stars in the league.
What else did he say since he was a child, but this guy dared to talk like that before he became famous? To put it bluntly, isn't it just that after becoming a star, I have become inflated and have become less attentive to other people.
"Little bunny." Looking at Green's deliberate ruthlessness on the video, Henson just laughed playfully.
I want to scold those reporters to the bloody point when Lao Tzu scolded those reporters and put Adam. Xiao Hua and David. Where were you when Stern was in a mess? Playing hard with me? You're so tender!
Green's provocation didn't demoralize the Pacers players, it only made them angrier. Among them, including Henson.
Other teams may be blinded by anger. But the Pacers, led by Henson, will only turn anger into strength.
In the afternoon, when the Pacers went to acclimatize, a reporter found Henson in the players' tunnel and asked him about Drummond. Green's view.
The reporter was ready to be rejected by Henson, but unexpectedly, the Chinese coach was very happy to be interviewed this time.
"I know Green's remarks, and he became the laughing stock of our team's breakfast. To be honest, it's really funny that he pretends to be ruthless. As someone who hides behind Curry, Thompson, and Durant and points fingers, Green's self-deprecation is wonderful! ”
It's been a long time since Henson has responded positively to a provocation, but this time, he has to educate the self-righteous bastard.
The reporter couldn't help but swallow when he heard Henson's tone be so tough. It seems that this time, Green really angered someone who shouldn't be messed with.
"Behind Curry, Thompson, and Durant? Hahahahahaha, okay, I'll show that old man today, what is the difference between me and him! When Henson's words reached Green's ears, he immediately responded.
"There is so much difference between me and him, from appearance to IQ, from popularity to taste...... One game may not be enough to figure out how different we are. Henson did not show any weakness, and continued to attack with that hateful taunt.
"Once we win, the guy didn't go crazy. At Oracle Arena, they better be careful. ”
"Winning? Even if the Warriors want to win, it depends on Curry, Thompson and Durant, and Green seems to have a lot to do with him. ”
Before the game began, the war of words between the two sides was already in full swing. Finally, to Drummond. Green was so angry that his eyes turned green.
This time the two sides scolded each other, so that Mike. Brin was impressed with Henson.
In the past, Henson cursed people and would only use malicious jokes and ugly swear words. The picture of him scolding reporters in public for having a sick brain is still talked about by people today.
And now Henson, even scolding, reveals a kind of "maturity" and "elegance".
He doesn't use swear words or even yell. Instead, he calmly used some sarcasm and stalks to make you angry. Compared with harsh words and swearing, this kind of swearing defense attack is obviously stronger.
Everybody grows, Henson. Joe, that guy has really become more and more like a real man in recent years.
"Damn, I'm going to skin that guy!" Half an hour before the start of the game, next to the Warriors' bench, Green, who was staring at Henson, clenched his fists.
In the other half, Henson also looked at Green, but he appeared angry and smiled at Green playfully.
Henson's smile that seemed to despise him made Draymond. Green was mad.
"Calm down, Draymond! Don't forget, Henson. Joe is a cunning guy. Maybe he's just going to make you angry. Seeing Green so grumpy, Warriors Meritorious Coach Steve Brown. Cole reminded.
Unlike Warriors fans and players, Kerr has been very wary of Henson. When he was a commentator in the past, Cole had watched Henson's amazing conductor more than once. He knew that the Chinese man had a lot of means.
Moreover, he is willing to try anything. Now this Henson is indeed a lot gentler than before, but don't forget, he is still the same Henson who pretended to be injured in the finals and released fake news. Joe.
In order to win, he will do whatever it takes.
Although Green made this point Steve. Cole was a little worried, but saw Clay. After Thompson's warm-up, Kerr instantly felt a lot more comfortable.
In the past two days, Thompson's hands have been hot during training. And this afternoon's practice and now the warm-up, Thompson also showed a terrible shooting touch.
When a three-point shooter can score consistently and consistently, it is not difficult to widen the difference.
Even if Green and Thompson don't play a role in the end, the Warriors don't still have the double insurance of Durant and Curry.
Thinking of this, Cole was not so nervous. Perhaps, as Green thinks, the current Pacers and Henson. Joe, it's not that scary at all. The time that belonged to them has passed.
Twenty minutes later, Henson had all the players together and he was going to make the final touches before the game began.
"Leave Draymond alone. Green, I promise we'll clean him up today, but not now. Once you're on the field, play the game well. Also, remember what I said, no matter what the situation is, don't give up, don't give up, don't give up! Henson repeated the words "don't give up" three times.
"Then, do you remember all the practices you have practiced in the past few days? When you get on the court, you play the way you train. Can anyone tell me where the Warriors are now? Henson was halfway through his sentence when he suddenly asked a question.
"17-3." Paul didn't know what Henson was trying to do, but he answered.
"That's right, 17-3. Let go of the 17 wins, look at the 3 losses. This shows that the Warriors, like us, can make mistakes and be defeated. So, throw away all the psychological burden, and let me command everything. After 48 minutes of play, everyone here will be watching us take the win! One, two, ************* acers! ”
Henson finished speaking, and the game began. He clapped his hands, and the Pacers' starting five stripped off their training uniforms and stepped onto the court.
And this starter just came out, Steve. Cole was stunned. Sure enough, Henson changed formation again!
"There was a change of formation, and Coach Henson didn't continue the same starting XI he had been using today. Rather, use Channing. Frye topped Danny. Green, then played back to the No. 2 position with George and No. 3 with Antetokounmpo. It seems that Coach Henson did not play a small lineup today, but sent a big lineup! After all, their height in the second position has reached 2.06 meters! ”
Mike. Brin clenched his fists excitedly on the podium, while Henson, who was standing on the sidelines, looked up as if he had seen through the dome of Oracle Arena and looked to the sky and beyond.
Sag, take a good look!
