154: Somebody is going to do something

56 to 97, this jaw-dropping score was written on the big screen at the Amway Center at this time. In the case of the Pacers' three consecutive defeats, such a score was beaten. For the Magic, this is no longer a simple loss, but a shame, a great shame!

In such a moment of humiliation, the players can hide in the tunnel without looking back, and Van Gundy must bite the bullet to shake Henson's hand. It's no wonder that this guy didn't even dare to look at Henson's expression.

Less than a minute after the game ended, this shameful news spread throughout the league and the whole world! Thanks to the rapid development of the web, Van Gundy and his magic tricks have certainly been turned thousands of times by now.

The stats speak for themselves, with 56 points being the lowest scoring record in the history of the Magic, and the worst performance in the history of the Magic was back in 1997, when they scored just 57 points in a single game against the Cavaliers! At the same time, in this game, the Magic only made 16 of 65 shots, and the shooting rate was only a pitiful 24.6%, which also set a new record for the worst in team history! You think that's the end of it? No, the tragic data doesn't stop there! The Magic only shot 16 balls in the whole game, which also set a new record for the worst performance in team history! Breaking three shameful records in one go, it was definitely an unforgettable day for the Magic players! ”

Kevin. Harlan flipped out these shocking records, and he felt incredible. The feeling of this game for him is that the Magic are not like an NBA-level team at all!

So, many fans are joking: "Maybe let the NCAA team play against the Pacers, you won't lose that many points." ”

The implication is that today's Magic, a team that is clamoring to aim for the championship, and a team whose coach pats his chest before the game to ensure that it can win, is not even as good as an NCAA team!

After being interviewed by reporters on the sidelines, Henson was a little envious of Big Van Gundy. Break three team records in one game, and if you want to exchange it for yourself, you can redeem three rewards!

After this match, Henson's XP Accumulate accumulated another 150 XP points. That means that as long as the Pacers win one more game, Henson will be able to say hello to the long-lost badges.

With a slaughtering victory, Henson and his Pacers left Orlando happily and ended their longest three-game losing streak.

Henson has no words to increase the morale of the players at this time, so if this game is lost again, Henson does not dare to guarantee that the dressing room will not go wrong.

Fortunately, the worst did not happen. I believe that such a slaughtering victory is enough to get the Pacers back on track.

The day after the game, the Magic were still the league's most popular "stars." After a night of research by fans and pundits, it was discovered that the Magic broke more than three more shameful records.

The Magic made just 16 shots in the game, their worst performance since the NBA's 24-second rule was introduced. Although this record is a bit unpopular, it is enough to make fans laugh at the magic for a while.

"It's laughable that the good Samaritan didn't seem to want to embarrass the Magic too much in the closing stages of the game, so he allowed Weaver to score five points in a row, otherwise the Magic's score would be even more ugly."

Even Charles. Barkley couldn't help but complain on the show, which was also a rare time that Barkley was actually complaining about the Pacers' opponents.

A regular season game that made the Magic "shine" all over the world. And the Pacers, who defeated the Magic, didn't stir up that much discussion.

Henson looked at the news about the Magic team's shameful record, and couldn't help but say in an envious tone: "I didn't expect it, I didn't expect it, we finally made the wedding dress that made the Magic team famous." ”

Just the day after the Magic finished playing the game against the Pacers, the Magic had to fly to Philadelphia to play back-to-back games against the 76ers.

The game was originally a little to watch, but since the Magic broke multiple records yesterday, the number of fans who bought tickets has increased exponentially, giving the 76ers a small climax in perennial sluggish attendance. Even Henson couldn't help but go home that night to watch the live broadcast of the game.

Just how bad the Magic team was yesterday, Henson naturally knows best. And he's sure magic can't be adjusted in less than a day. Therefore, Henson dares to guarantee that the Magic team will still play very "shamefully" in this game.

And that night, the Magic team really didn't disappoint the fans and Henson. With the 76ers scoring only 74 points in the game, the Magic still lost! 68-74, the Magic continued their "perfect" performance. Although the 68 points seem to be a lot more "decent" than the 56 points in the previous game, such a ridiculously low score undoubtedly allows the Magic team to continue to enjoy the "love" of the fans.

With the Magic breaking their lower limit time and time again, Henson has rarely broken away from the vicious mouths of reporters and pundits. With the Magic team blocking guns for himself, Henson can finally do his own thing comfortably.

So in the last game of January, Henson led the Pacers to an easy victory over the Nets in New Jersey. After this game, Henson's experience accumulator finally began to pay off. After reaching Level 2, Henson can choose one of three rewards, just like completing the achievement.

This time, Henson opted for the Loyal Soldier Tier 1 badge, which increases player loyalty by 10% during negotiations. For Henson, it's not just about the moment that he has to think about now, and it doesn't make sense if he doesn't keep any of these great players.

And after this upgrade, sure enough, as Henson thought. The next time you want to get a reward, you need more XP than 300 to 500. That is, the further back you go, the more wins you need to level up.

However, Henson is not too worried about this, as long as the foundation can be laid, even if the rewards he can get in the future are less, it will not have a decisive impact on him.

On Feb. 1, the Pacers defeated the Timberwolves in Minnesota. Although the Timberwolves finally waited for their "golden boy" Rubio, Rubio's weak scoring ability could not directly help the Timberwolves soar.

In this game, facing the immature Rubio, Paul scored a season-high 36 points in one fell swoop. While Paul is a "play-first" type of point guard, that doesn't mean he's soft up on weak defenses.

I'm already able to score easily, so why bother going around in a circle to get an assist?

Of course, in addition to Paul, the most high-profile player in this game is undoubtedly Wesley, the sixth man of the Pacers this season. Matthews too.

This draft pick has been very consistent this season since his excellent performance last season. Although he lost his starting position, he did no less than he did last season. In this game, Matthews shot 4 of 5 three-pointers, scoring the second-highest 22 points on the team in one fell swoop, and was undoubtedly the second biggest contributor to the Pacers' victory.

After the game, Matthews also gave a rare courtside interview to reporters. After all, Matthews is a low-key person, there has been little news, and the media attention is relatively small.

As an undrafted player, he knew that the only thing he needed to do was play hard, and Pacers coach Henson was a media darling, so this season was the first time Matthews had been treated as a courtside interview.

But precisely because Matthews doesn't deal with the media very often, the media can do just that.

"Wesley, congratulations, you played a perfect game today! It's no secret that you've been very consistent this season, and you've averaged 15.3 points per game as a bench. But even so, Coach Henson still made Paul . George was in the starting line-up, and even though you played well during his injury, he got the treatment of a starter as soon as he came back. Do you feel unfair or dissatisfied with this? ”

This is undoubtedly a very acute question, and if the interviewee is Henson, the reporters will certainly not get any substantive answers. But in the case of Matthews alone, journalists can make a big fuss! After all, not everyone has as much of a mouth as Henson. As long as Matthews' answer is the slightest bit inappropriate, the reporters can make a fuss about it!

Isn't that what journalists do best?

'I do like the feeling of being a starter, but in the team everything has to be left to the table. Matthews smiled, he can play in the NBA now because of the Chinese coach who rushed into his room in the first place. So for Henson's arrangement, Matthews is very willing to obey.

If it weren't for this coach, God knows where I'm playing right now.

"Before 12 o'clock this morning, you can be indignant, you can be angry, you can feel like you've been deceived. But after 12 o'clock, kid. You have more important things to do, so cheer up! ”

Henson's words to him at the beginning were the catalyst for Matthews to work so hard all along. So what about playing as a substitute? He is willing to accept any role for Henson.

The journalist smiled and left satisfied. What Matthews thinks of reporters doesn't really care at all, what he cares about is what he can make fans think.

I do like to be a starter, but in the team it's all up to the head. How can this sound so helpless?
