Henson's remarks in an interview at halftime undoubtedly made many Thunder fans very unhappy. James. Harden is the Sixth Man of the Season winner and a substitute that even the Spurs and Popovich can't contain. However, in Henson's mouth, James. Harden seemed to be worthless in an instant.

Thunder fans still think George is worthless, an "obscure" Paul who has never even won the Jazz in the slam dunk contest. George, what is there to brag about?

In fact, Henson is well aware that James. How capable Harden is. On the first day of the crossover, the first player Henson saw was Harden. At that time, Henson knew that Harden had the best potential.

Maybe Harden will become a real star guard in the future, or even a historic defender. But for now, at least, he's only a sixth man. Henson didn't say that to belittle Harden, but to help George fight for his breath and build confidence in him.

So in the second half, George's "god-killing mode" was still not interrupted. If we talk about the last round, the Pacers' odd man is Leonard. So this round, Paul. George undoubtedly took the baton from Leonard.

Even though Westbrook began to calm down and start scoring in the second half, the Thunder were never able to overtake the score under George's excellent play and Paul's steady control.

At the end of the third quarter, the Thunder still trailed by six points. Coach Brooks doesn't seem to have a good way to change the situation, and the only hope he can hope on is on Harden.

Averaging 9 points per game in the fourth quarter of the Eastern Conference Finals, James. Harden's ability to finish games doesn't need to be overstated. Therefore, even if Harden scored a total of 4 points in the first three quarters, Thunder fans still hope that the bearded man can dominate the final quarter as usual.

However, the reality was very different from the fantasy, and at the beginning of the fourth quarter, Henson did not let George play. The reason is simple, he needs to save George for the final minutes of the final match. It's not like Thibodeau and Brooks, who want to play the full 48 minutes.

So in the fourth quarter, Harden first faced not George, but Matthews.

However, Matthews didn't let Harden take advantage of anything. "Mr. Tough" continued George's desperately winding defense, and he made it difficult for Harden to connect even the ball.

This is the Indiana Pacers' wheel battle, even if they come off the bench, the opponent will not have a chance to score easily.

After four minutes of grinding with Matthews, Harden still didn't score a point. At this time, George returned. This substitution undoubtedly ended James. The possibility of Harden dominating the final quarter game!

After that, the scores of both sides alternated upwards. But the Thunder have been suppressed, seeing that the difference is only 5 to 6 points, but there is no way to get closer.

In the last 2 minutes of the game, Durant, who had been showing bravery, was like a string that suddenly broke, and his scoring momentum was suddenly interrupted.

Henson used the data analysis module to look at Durant's playing time, and Henson was scared. In 44 minutes, with two minutes left and the game is about to end, Durant has played 44 minutes! In other words, Durant can play 46 minutes in the whole game!

At 46 minutes, it was the craziest relentless workhorse Henson had ever seen. Even Tom. Thibodeau's "old friend" is unlikely to let his main players play 46 minutes. What does 46 minutes mean? This means that a player is on average only 30 seconds away from the court per session!

You can imagine with your thumb how tired Durant is now. After all, Green and Leonard's defense has made every score of Durant hard-won, which has increased the consumption of Durant. Tightened the whole game and played almost three full quarters. Even a scoring champion like Durant can't hold on anymore.

So it's no surprise that Durant's scoring momentum has suddenly broken off right now.

With Brooks losing one of his most relied on scoring points and the best sixth man he was most unexpected, is the Thunder still trying to win with a gruffy Westbrook?

So although the gap between the two sides is still not big, Henson still sat back in his place with peace of mind. The situation in the finals is even smoother than I imagined.

"George was amazing today." As soon as Henson sat down, Vogel beside him complimented.

"Don't look at that kid is usually low-key, but the consequences of annoying him are very serious. Now the media should know that I'm the best bully for the Pacers. Henson teased the media again, those who put James before the game. The guys who Harden bragged so much are afraid that their faces are swollen now.

On the court, Westbrook was still desperately attacking the basket. But Paul led the young guard by the nose throughout the game, and Brooks tried to suppress Paul with Westbrook, but the reality was the opposite.

In the final two minutes, Westbrook contributed a steal for Paul and a rebound for Horford. Three shots, only one hit. This kind of efficiency can't bring the young Thunder back to life.

When the electronic beep sounded for the whole game, Henson was not as excited as he imagined. Maybe it's just seven games against the Heat, so it's hard to get Henson excited about this kind of smooth victory......

105-94, the Indiana Pacers, who were not favored by almost everyone before the game, and even the bookmakers offered high odds for them, actually defeated the invincible Thunder by 11 points at home!

Durant scored a game-high 37 points and shot 60% from the field! However, it all turned out to be an empty cut, and Durant's extraordinarily long playing time made him less dominant in key moments.

Westbrook had 22 points and 11 assists, which seemed like a decent number. But if you add in just 40 percent shooting and a whopping seven turnovers, that statistic doesn't seem to be very impressive. You know, the Pacers only had two more turnovers than Westbrook in this game. Paul's clever defense makes Westbrook look like a frizzy little imp.

When a point guard makes that many turnovers, his team is sure to suffer dramatically. Winning? That's even more fantastical.

In the end, Harden, who has emerged this season, seems to have disappeared, scoring only 6 points in the whole game, and the shooting percentage is even more miserable. There is no doubt that Harden was the last straw that crushed the Thunder.

Not only did he not show the strength to dominate the game in the past, but he was also hammered by George to doubt his life.

George scored a career-high 36 points in the playoffs! Most of them are from James. Harden on the head. Sephorosa "Swiss Army Knife" has done his best, but Harden always gets George's hand warm up as soon as he gets on the court.

After the game, the originally extremely hot Thunder Sanshao deserved to return to the locker room in disgrace. And George, who has always been ignored by the media and takes everything for granted, has gathered a large number of reporters around him.

"It was a beautiful big win, and the Pacers have just a lot of personnel reserves. In the Eastern Conference Finals, a Leonard was killed, completely ending the Heat's plan to win the championship. And in the finals, another Paul was killed. George! I have to admit that Coach Henson's strategy and use of people are indeed very superb. That's exactly what Coach Brooks lacks. "Mike. Brin said, looking for Henson.

But don't talk about Mike. Brin, even a lot of reporters didn't see the Chinese coach.

Henson was already addicted to his mouth at half-time today, so as soon as the game was over, he quietly walked back to the dressing room. Now he is already thinking in his heart, how to deal with the Thunder in the second game......
