455: Straight Jackson
The Utah Jazz, who finished bottom of the West, didn't cause much trouble for the defending champions, and Henson returned from the hospital with just four hours left before the start of the game. That said, Henson had little chance to lead the team in training today.
After four hours, after the players have rested, it is basically time to start warming up. I have to say that after the cancellation of the late-night trip, the time for back-to-back games is indeed tighter for Henson and the team.
But the foundation of the defending champions is always here, and against the bottom team in the West, even if the team does not have enough training time, as long as they play properly, it is enough to win the game.
As it turns out, it is.
Stevens' beloved protΓ©gΓ©, Gordon, who played for the Butler University Bulldogs. Hayward, who played well in the land he knew well, was playing well. The white forward shot 8-of-12 from the field and finished with 21 points, three rebounds and three assists.
With the Pacers' impregnable defense, Hayward's ability to repeatedly carry inside points has proven his ability.
However, Hayward alone obviously can't change the brutal fact that the Jazz are weaker. Jimmy. Butler and Paul. George's 47 points, coupled with Horford's 18-point "magic knife", made the game lose suspense early.
In the end, although the score was 98-91. But if it weren't for Henson's early substitution of the main lineup, the Jazz would not have been able to close the score.
In this way, as planned, the Pacers did not overturn in the gutter and arranged the Jazz at the bottom of the West clearly.
The fans at the Bankers Living Arena cheered excitedly, and they didn't know what it was like to fail since Henson's return.
At the post-game press conference, most reporters were also praising the Pacers' performance. But there are always those who are eager to spoil the perfect atmosphere of victory.
"There's no doubt that the win wasn't really worth talking about. The defending champions crushed the bottom team in the West, and there was nothing to say about it. What we're concerned about now is, coach Henson, can your team end the Golden State Warriors' 10-game winning streak in the next game? Oh, yes. Half an hour before the end of the game, the Warriors managed to defeat the Raptors in Toronto, winning 10 in a row and winning 10 in a row. This is the second time since 1975 that the Warriors have won 10 in a row. β
A cold-toned reporter stood up, and Henson didn't like him ever since he uttered the phrase "The victory in this game is not worth telling."
No matter who the opponent is, every win deserves to be recognized. This is both respect for one's own efforts and respect for one's opponent. And Henson doesn't see the slightest respect in this reporter!
"This is the Banker's Life Arena, Mr. Reporter. If you're interviewing the Golden State Warriors, now is the time to go out and buy a ticket to Toronto. Henson, who was still smiling just now, immediately put on a straight face, he has always believed in a sentence, only respect can be exchanged for respect.
"I have the right to ask any questions here, Coach Henson."
"Then I think you know very well that I have the right to refuse to answer any of your questions, Mr. Reporter."
The reporter's face was very ugly, but he couldn't rush up and beat Henson, so he could only sit back with the bunch of tricky questions in his mind.
Obviously, he wanted to use the Warriors' ten-game winning streak to create some topics, and by the way, extinguish Henson's arrogant fireworks. As everyone knows, he was severely humiliated by Henson.
After the press conference, the journalist was still unwilling. Since you won't get anything from Henson, take it from Mark. Jackson made a fuss there.
So, the reporter from Turner Sports called his boss and made a request, "I want to go to the Bay Area tomorrow and be interviewed by the Warriors during media hours!" β
After the request was granted, the reporter turned to look at the huge player posters outside the Bankers Life Arena.
There's always someone who can beat this team, and the Warriors, who have won 10 in a row and are desperate to tie the longest 11-game winning streak in franchise history, will certainly be able to do that!
β»β»β»
'Coach Henson has always been very arrogant, he can ignore us, but on the pitch he sees how serious the consequences of ignoring us are. We've won 10 in a row and we're in just the right place. If I could, I'd certainly love to end Coach Henson's winning streak. He could have decided to talk about us, but he couldn't refuse to fail. We're just one game away from an all-time winning streak, and only an idiot would pass up that all-time equal. So you ask me how eager I am to win in Indianapolis? There is no doubt that my players and I can't wait! β
On March 3, 2014, the afternoon just after the Pacers defeated the Utah Jazz, Mark Brown. Jackson's speech has swept the screen of major sports portals!
I have to admire that the Internet era has brought the characteristics of news "timeliness" into full play. Mark. Less than twenty minutes after Jackson said that, all the fans around the world who follow the Pacers and Warriors know about it.
A lot of media claims: this is Mark. Coach Jackson and his 10-game winning streak Warriors are challenging Henson head-on!
Looking at everything he has created with his own hands, Turner Sports.com's new reporter Patterson. Mills couldn't be more proud. Henson's rejection of himself does not represent Mark. Jackson will reject himself too! And to his great delight, Mark . Jackson also doesn't seem to be too friendly to Coach Henson.
In fact, Patterson. Mills came up with the idea of starting with Mark. It is not for nothing that Jackson is looking for a breakthrough here.
Mark. Jackson is undoubtedly a capable coach, and since he stepped in, the Warriors have seen visible improvement every season. Ten consecutive wins, two or three years ago, Bay Area fans couldn't even think of it!
But Mark. Jackson is not a perfect person, some time ago, he was revealed to be with the team's center Andrew . Bogut feud. A week ago, it was revealed that there was some minor friction with the Warriors' management.
This kind of indication is that Mark. Jackson is a straight-talking guy. As a "player-type coach" who is always passionate, Mark Murphy is a "player-type coach" who is always passionate. Jackson always went straight to the point. He's clearly not so tactful when it comes to handling team relationships.
And Patterson. Mills proved with his own practical actions that Mark. Jackson was indeed a little too straight. So much so that when no one in the whole league dared to provoke Henson, he challenged Henson!
"Coach Henson can't refuse to fail? This is a serious provocation! β
"The Warriors, who have won 10 in a row, challenged the Pacers, and then Coach Henson has yet to do anything about Mark. Jackson to express any opinion. β
"Coach Henson, of course, won't say anything because he's scared! Think about it, facing a team that has won ten in a row is something that a normal person would be afraid of. β
"I think Coach Henson has undoubtedly met a character who is even more ruthless than himself."
Mark. As soon as Jackson's remarks came out, it was naturally followed by various follow-up reports hyped by the media. After all, this time Mark. Jackson, not only has a powerful mouth, but he also holds the real result of ten consecutive wins in his hand! Therefore, in everyone's opinion, he is indeed qualified to compete with Henson.
And these reports finally converged into a consensus, that is, Henson is facing the same unconvinced Mark. Jackson had some stage fright with the Warriors, who had won in a ten-game winning streak.
At this time, Henson, who should have been scared in the imagination of reporters, is practicing yoga in his mansion in Carmel under the guidance of a beautiful instructor......
"Relax, Coach Henson, relax...... Okay, now, take a deep breath and feel the breath flowing through your body, yes, very good, you're doing a really good job......"
"Phew......" Henson struggled to keep up with the coach's pace and did all the moves. Even in his opinion, the appearance of doing those actions by himself must be very stupid. But this teacher was found by Anjiali, and Henson was not easy to refuse.
"How does it feel? Instructor? Do you feel the charm of yoga? β
"Hmm...... To tell you the truth, I don't feel anything other than that my arm will be sore when I wake up tomorrow morning. β
"Hahahaha, Anjiali is right, you are a difficult guy. But that's okay, I'm sure you'll fall in love with yoga if you try it a few times. So Coach Henson, we'll see you the day after tomorrow. β
Seeing off the yoga teacher, Henson sat down on the couch tiredly. Private Doctor Johnny. Mr. Mars took Henson's blood pressure and heart rate, and everything was normal.
"You're in a good mood, Henson." Seeing that Henson's physical data was normal, Mars smiled with relief.
"Is there anything I might want to share with me that might make me angry?"
"What? You don't know that? β
"What's the matter?"
"Forget it, it's best not to know, after all, it's not good for you to be angry."
"Speak up Mars, I won't be angry if I come out of your mouth. What the hell is going on? β
"It's Mark. Jackson and his Golden State Warriors, you might as well watch the news for yourself. With that, Dr. Mars put away his instruments and prepared to make a nutritious meal for Henson.
Henson curiously took out his phone, because he had been doing yoga all afternoon, so Henson couldn't bother to read the news. However, as soon as he opened the mobile browser, Henson was replaced by Mark. Jackson slaughtered the version.
"You said Mark. Jackson's business? Henson asked in a loud voice, lest the doctor in the kitchen not hear.
"That's right!" The doctor also responded with a loud voice, after all, Henson's cottage is not big, but it is not small.
"I have to say that the Warriors are very talented and they have a very reasonable staffing. If I were to coach this team, I think I would at least make it to the Western Conference Finals. You can even think about the championship. But Mark. Jackson...... Forget it, ten wins in a row is his ceiling. Henson teased with a laugh.
"You're not angry?"
"Are you so eager to see me angry?"
"Of course not, I'm just curious, when did you become so innocent?" Dr. Mars smiled.
"I don't know, maybe it's because yoga really plays a role." Henson spread his hands and tilted his head.
