Van Vleet felt like he was in a dream.

From the beginning of the playoffs to the present, VanVleet has also been scolded by fans and media almost until now. People are complaining about Lin, who says he has failed the expectations of his coaches, teammates and fans.

The result? He shot 5-of-6 from the field in the last game and became one of the heroes of the Raptors' ability to win.

After that game, countless media outlets said they owed Van Vleet an apology.

was despised by others, and then got a brilliant performance in key games, and finally was recognized by everyone. Van Vleet feels like a hero in his experience, and all he has to do now is to put on a more convincing performance in the next match.

On the training court today, VanVleet's three-point shot was very hot. He has a hunch that the next game will be his big day......

Henson and his coaching staff were sitting in the hotel's conference room, where a video of the Pacers' loss to the Raptors yesterday was playing on a large screen in the conference room.

In the conference room, all the members of the coaching staff were silent. It's not that they're afraid, after all, Henson is not a medieval tyrant who wants to kill at every turn.

The reason why everyone was silent was because the Raptors were so perfect yesterday that they could barely fault it.

From the opening game with Gasol Jr.'s surprise dominance, to Kyle. Lowry holds the ball properly and singles. and, the wonderful performance of the three people on the Raptors' bench. These things have become the capital of the Raptors to win.

"How? Do you feel that your opponent is unusually powerful? After watching the Raptors highlights, Henson paused the video and asked his aides.

'Their benches played really well, especially VanVleet, who was amazing how efficient he was.

Gasol Jr.'s explosion was unexpected, as he scored 17 points, seven assists, and made three three-pointers in yesterday's game. He's completely turned into a high point guard, and with him as the center, the Raptors' offense always runs very smoothly. ”

McMillan and Becky. Harmon presented their ideas separately.

"That's right," Henson nodded, "the Raptors' offense is running very smoothly. When the last round played against Celtic, the media said that every player who stepped up was an offensive threat. But in my opinion, their offensive threat is only Kelly. Irving. But this time, the Raptors really did just that. ”

Henson said, projecting yesterday's game data from the Raptors players onto the big screen.

"Whether it's the two stars of Kawhi Leonard and Lowry, or the role players like Gasol Jr., VanVleet, Ibaka, they all do their best. If you want me to say, they are the real soldiers of the whole people. ”

And in yesterday's game, George and Antetokounmpo were both stopped by the Raptors' defense and didn't play at their best. I know that the two teamed up yesterday and also scored 48 points, which is a lot of numbers. But trust me, there's more to George and Antetokounmpo than that. So in the next game, I need to free everyone's hands and feet. The Raptors want to attack? Okay, I'll play offense with them. ”

"What do you mean...... Attack? "Becky. Harmon looked at Henson, who she hadn't seen so angry since returning three years ago.

And once Henson gets angry, he will definitely use the craziest way against his opponent.

After the tactical meeting, Henson returned to his room and had a video call with his family.

Although the work was very difficult, in front of his wife and daughter. Henson, however, still had to keep smiling, and he had no reason to bring the negativity of his work to his family.

After the video call ended, Henson's smile disappeared in an instant. The defeat in yesterday's game was really unexpected.

He didn't expect that the Raptors would suddenly turn their shortcomings into strengths. In the first two games of the series, Henson made a big fuss about the fact that the Raptors' role players were not good enough, and the Pacers also managed to win 2-0.

But yesterday, for some reason, the Raptors had a collective outbreak. Perhaps, he thought of the Raptors too simply. A team that can hold on to the last second in the tie-break is certainly not something to be messed with.

While Henson wants to play against the Raptors tomorrow, he's not sure if the Raptors' bench players will play that well.

Therefore, Henson is actually struggling with whether to use the badge he holds in advance.

Badge: Role Player Revelry: All substitute players are in the best condition.

This badge was originally intended for Henson to use when he played the Warriors, but if the Raptors were still strong in the next game, then he would have to use it early.

Yesterday's game was lost, and due to the Raptors' strong bench strength, the role players on the Pacers' side were instead suppressed. As a result, many of Antetokounmpo's points didn't convert into assists.

If it is still the case tomorrow, if tomorrow he is tied 2-2 by the Raptors. There's no doubt that morale and momentum will go to the Raptors. At that time, it will be very difficult for Henson to control the situation.

So, the next game in Toronto, Henson has to win. Then fight for the autonomous field and put an end to all this trouble.

When exactly should I use this badge? Henson was a little tangled.

"Knock knock."

As Henson pondered, there was a knock on his room door.

Since the Pacers are playing on the road, and it's a series. Therefore, their training time should be negotiated with the Raptors, and the two sides should be staggered.

As a result, the Pacers' practice was put on the afternoon, and the whole morning was a break for Henson and the players.

Henson looked at his watch, it was only two o'clock, and it was supposed to be lunch break. At this time, who will come after themselves?

So Henson looked through the cat's eye in the door, but he couldn't see the face of the comer, because he was too tall.

A person who is so tall must be his own player.

Sure enough, when Henson opened the door, Brooke. Lopez appeared in front of Henson's eyes.

"Brooke?" Henson was a little surprised.

"Boss, I hope I didn't disturb your rest."

"Of course not, come in, do you want a coffee?"

"Thank you, sir."

Lopez obediently sat down in his chair and looked around. Henson's room is not messy, and it can be seen that he is a well-organized person. In fact, Henson was notoriously sloppy before he started a family, and his room and office were always filled with all sorts of clutter.

Well, people grow.

"What's the matter with me? Brooke. Henson handed the coffee to Lopez, the big white man who had barely met Henson in private.

"Uh...... I want to apologize for my performance yesterday, sir. Lopez scratched his head and smirked.

"Apologize?"

"Well, apologies. I almost gave Gasol Jr. a double-double yesterday and, by my admission, I wasn't ready and I was caught off guard. I...... I've let you down, sir. ”

Lopez sighed, knowing full well that the pinnacle of his career was not in Indianapolis. But it was in Indianapolis that he was able to receive so many honors. Otherwise, he still doesn't know if he can play in the finals in this life, let alone win the championship.

Therefore, Lopez cherishes the opportunity to play at the Pacers. Think about it, if Henson hadn't allowed himself to develop a three-point shot in the first place, would he still be able to thrive in the league?

Lopez has always been grateful to Henson in his heart, grateful for his training and trust. It's just that unlike those mischievous and outgoing players, Lopez rarely expresses his gratitude. Therefore, he always repays Henson with outstanding performances.

And yesterday, he was ashamed of his performance.

"That's it? Hahaha, you don't have to apologize, Brooke. It's not the responsibility of any one person to lose, it's everyone's responsibility, including me. To be honest, I didn't expect Nick. Nass will fight back. And I was already confused when I hit the back yesterday, and I didn't know how to adjust at all. Well, it's just that I'm pretending to be deep in front of the media. ”

Henson said, deliberately making a frowning expression, exactly the same expression he had on yesterday when he faced the camera.

Lopez was amused, and the atmosphere eased a lot. But Lopez blames himself so much...... Henson suddenly thought of a solution. One that might be able to take the Raptors by surprise.

"Brooke."

"Boss?"

"Tomorrow, I need you to do something that you've always done best, but something out of the ordinary."

"Huh?"

Lopez looked confused, but he felt he had come to the right place.
