One of the things that Henson is very good at is interfering with other teams. Whether it's tactical or psychological interference, whether it's with or without basketball. In short, once the opponent is disrupted, the Pacers' quick counterattack and tough defense will put the opponent in a difficult battle from the first minute of the game.

The Celtics, who were deceived by Henson's "I want to take a rest", and the countless opponents who were defeated by Henson with unprepared substitutions, must have been impressed by Henson's strategy.

But today, instead of being disturbed, the Golden State Warriors just tasted the sweetness because of Henson's blind self-confidence.

At first, Henson thought that with the strong individual defense ability of Paul and George, it would not be difficult to contain Curry and Thompson. Needless to say, Paul has been one of the best point guards in the league defensively, and he can even remove the "one". And George, people haven't forgotten his excellent performance against Kobe Bryant in Los Angeles.

But this time, Henson found himself misassessing the situation.

Indeed, if Curry and Thompson were to go one-on-one against Paul and George, they wouldn't really have much of a chance of winning. Thompson's offensive means with the ball are not rich enough, and Curry's confrontation ability is a little tight.

But if you pair these two guys with clever tactics and cover, they can get open space, even if it's just a little bit of space, and they can throw the ball in! In the face of the Warriors' offensive strategy, the offensive and defensive relationship between the players has long been rid of the simple one-on-one, but the collision between the system!

Halfway through the first quarter, the scores alternated between the two sides, but the Warriors always led the Pacers by 3 to 4 points. At this time, Henson already felt that the signs were wrong, after all, few teams can use offense to curb the Pacers' play.

As the game progressed, the Warriors' offensive coordination became more and more fluid, and Curry and Thompson's hands continued to be hot. Before the end of the first quarter, even the Warriors' bench began to wield! Jaled. A three-pointer from Jack and a three-pointer from Rockets veteran Carl. Landry made a successful single against Yi Jianlian, allowing the Warriors to stretch the difference to 8 points!

After almost being pulled away by a double-digit margin in a single quarter, Henson realized that he had made a fatal mistake! His assessment of the situation, there was a miscalculation!

I thought that the Pacers' outside line would make Curry or Thompson completely dumb, but in fact, the Warriors' offense was not affected at all!

So when the Pacers ended the first quarter with an unprecedented eight-point deficit, Henson's first words after the players left the court was, "I'm sorry, it's all my fault." ”

Although Henson has built a high prestige among the players, prestige is not something that can be built by being fierce alone. Sometimes a manager who is willing to admit his mistakes may be more trusted by his players than a manager who "plays dumb".

"We couldn't play like that in the second quarter, we were completely led by the nose by the Warriors. Forget David. Li, in the second quarter of the game, let's focus on the outside line! Infinite change of guards, change guards as soon as there is cover, and don't let Paul and George get stuck in one-on-one! Don't give them space and interfere with their shots! One step, one step of distance can't leave those two guys! Henson yelled as he picked up the tactics board and wrote.

"Kawaii, you go first in the second quarter! Defend solidly! Green, I'll let you play in rotation time, and I'll need your three-point shot to fire up when the time comes! ”

"Understood!" Green and Leonard replied in unison.

'It's good, defend first and then we'll think about the offense. Focus your attention on the defensive end. Henson waved his hand and the players came back on.

Stevens patted Henson on the shoulder, a coach is not terrible to make mistakes, as long as he can detect and make the right adjustments in time, he is still a good coach.

Isn't what a basketball coach should enjoy is the fun of fighting wits and courage with the opposing coach on the court according to the changes in the situation?

"At the start of the second quarter, the Warriors took the lead. It's inconceivable that before the game started, maybe even Mark. Jackson himself didn't expect his team to be able to lead the defending champions by 8 points into the second quarter! If the Warriors attack again this time, the point difference will be widened to double digits! ”

Chris. Webber stared nervously at the court, and although the game was full of gimmicks, he really didn't expect it to go so unexpectedly.

But this time, when Curry and Thompson still wanted to run without the ball and cover to tear up space, they found that the Pacers' defense was no longer as easy to tear apart as it was in the first quarter.

After Thompson used the cover to shake off George, he thought he would get another easy shot. But this time, the taciturn, expressionless No. 2 was in front of him. George and Leonard's seamless switch of defense left Thompson without even a little space.

Seeing this, Curry had no choice but to hold the ball himself to seek opportunities. But the ordinary blocking and dismantling has obviously not been effective, and the first gear is changed, and the first gear is changed. The scariest thing is not the speed of the Pacers' change of defense, but that they have no defensive weaknesses at all, all five can defend, and you can't change a weakness to focus on attacking.

Eventually, after a series of complex runs and covers, Horford switched to the front of the Curry. Curry had an idea, using his speed to wipe Horford and into the basket. But West's help defense came very quickly, Curry's confrontation ability was a weakness, and making a layup in the confrontation with West was not Curry's strong point.

The layup missed, and as soon as the game came up in the second quarter, Henson let Mark . Jackson saw what it means to defend champion-level defense!

"Beautiful defense, it looks like Coach Henson has changed his defensive strategy! As long as the defense can be solid, the 8-point difference will not be difficult for the defending champions at all! ”

As soon as Webb finished speaking, the Pacers scored. Or Paul, who easily broke through Curry and drew the defense of most of the Warriors' players.

After bursting to the basket, Paul jumped up and made a back pass to the "17-foot assassin". The assassin never misses a move in this position, and the "assassination" is successful!

That's why Henson doesn't have to rush into thinking about offensive strategy, because with Paul here, offensive combing is not a problem for the Pacers at all.

"Stephen. Curry's defense was about to be beaten into a sieve by Paul. Is Coach Jackson really not going to use Klay to defend Paul? ”

"No, it won't. If Klay is used to defend Paul, Curry will be ravaged to death by the 2.06-meter George. ”

Van Gundy shook his head, and Henson put his "two vials of poison" on Mark. Jackson in front of him. The only choice he can have is not victory or defeat, but in what way he will be "poisoned"!

The next time the Warriors attacked, Curry was still looking for Thompson. Thompson is indeed a good off-ball attacker, and Henson speculates through his data analysis module that this guy may even grow into the league's top off-ball attacker!

This time, the Warriors were very clever in changing their strategy. Since the Pacers have been blocking the three-point line, the Warriors will go the opposite way and cut inside!

Azeli was in place without the ball, and Thompson made a false shot, looking like he was trying to run beyond the three-point line. As everyone knows, this guy suddenly changed his center of gravity and cut to the inner line! George didn't expect the other party to change like this, and he couldn't keep up with it at the first time.

Seeing this, Curry immediately played the ball! But then, the unthinkable happened.

I saw Leonard suddenly turn around with his back to Clay, and then quickly fell to the ground with a goalkeeper's save in a football! Then Curry's pass to Thompson was magically cut off by Leonard!

"What!?" Chris. Webb played in the NBA for 15 years and 4 years as a commentator. But he was sure he had never seen such a steal!

"How did he know the ball was going to pass!?" Van Gundy's eyes widened as well.

At the same time, Leonard, who was lying on the ground, handed the ball to George, George held the ball and pushed quickly, and the Pacers counterattacked!

In fact, just now, Leonard, who had his back to Thompson, saw Curry's pass with his peripheral vision. His body reacted very sensitively, and he reacted immediately, so there was that tackle on the ground like a goalkeeper save!

Leonard had barely gotten up when George's side flew high and completed a tomahawk slam. And that's not all, the gruffy Barnes is giving George a three-point shot with an unnecessary foul!

“Yes！ Nice counterattack! If the free throw is added, the Pacers can reduce the gap to 3 points in an instant! I have to admit that Coach Henson's on-the-spot command and Leonard's incredible steal are really a stroke of genius! ”

Henson smirked, the Warriors don't expect to kill themselves easily!

At the same time, Mark. Jackson walked back to the bench and picked up the tactical board. The results of these two rounds proved that regular cover could no longer shake the defending champion's defence. As long as they come back to their senses, their strength should not be underestimated.

But what if you change to something less "ordinary"?

It's time to move that tactic out. Golden State Warriors, there is also a winning capital and hope......
