522: The Emperor's Contempt
The fact that Henson and Silas are ready to vote for the Lakers is naturally impossible for reporters to know. So while Henson and Silas were plotting in their offices about when to make a trip to Salt Lake City, reporters were still covering the Pacers' no-frills victory over the Mavericks.
A painless victory, this was not a boast from Henson, but the evaluation of the match by the media.
Because in the next few games, Henson led the team to victory. In such a context, the victory over the Mavericks is indeed not worth mentioning at all.
In the final game of October, Henson led the Pacers to the first road of the season. And on the first road, the Pacers arrived at the luxurious Barclays Center.
For the Nets, who are now in dire straits, Henson naturally will not show mercy. In the summer he said he would take Billy. Kim was a friend, and it was all to fool Lopez and Bogdanovic. Whoever believes it is true is a fool.
But on the contrary, Billy. Kim believed it......
So today, when he was beaten up by his "friend", Billy. Kim was very depressed.
105-94, the Pacers didn't save any face for the Nets. Brooke. Lopez even scored a season-high 25 points at his familiar Barclays Center, which was undoubtedly a sign to Billy. Sprinkle salt on Kim's wounds.
Fast into November, and the Pacers' momentum hasn't stopped.
They defeated the rebuilding Los Angeles Lakers at home, and then took out the Milwaukee Bucks on the road after a day of rest. Ilyasova had a good game, scoring 22 points on 4-of-6 three-point shooting. It seems that Henson has indeed benefited Hardmond a lot.
But with just one Ilyasova, the Bucks can't compete with the Pacers. 125-107, the Pacers still won easily. And the high score of 125 points also played the consistent style of the Pacers this season.
So far, Henson has led the Pacers to a five-game winning streak since his return. And the most terrifying thing is that the Pacers have won all five games by more than double digits!
The panic that had enveloped the entire alliance at the beginning seemed to be coming again.
"Henson. Joe is unstoppable, and the Pacers are rising strong! ”
"Five wins in a row is just the beginning, and the Pacers are built to break the winning streak."
"The Indiana Pacers can't compete with the Warriors? Coach Henson speaks for itself! ”
After five consecutive wins, the media that were scolding Henson a few days ago fell to his side in an instant. After all, in these five games, I don't know how many reporters were swollen in the face by Henson.
But unfortunately, even though the reporters have begun to praise Henson, they still can't escape the fate of being slapped in the face. Because just after a five-game winning streak, just when all the media were blowing up on Henson, the Pacers lost very unexpectedly.
"Three-point hit, hit! Nick. Stauskas, the Canadian shooter saved the 76ers! His crucial three-pointer pierced the heart of the Pacers. With this 3-pointer, the 76ers took a five-point advantage. But the time left for the Pacers is only 1.2 seconds! If nothing else, the 76ers will have their first win of the season on the road! The Pacers, on the other hand, will lose their first game of the season at home! ”
On the podium, Mark. Jackson watched in disbelief at what was happening in front of him. The Philadelphia 76ers, a team that has not won a game before and has completely lost its winning culture, is about to overturn the "giant" of the Pacers to the ground.
Henson was still trying to lay out the final attack, but in fact Henson was not unacceptable to the defeat. The reason why he worked so hard in the last 1.1 seconds was that he wanted to take the idea of not giving up until the last minute into the hearts of the players.
After the timeout, Paul. George executes the final throw. But at the No. 3 position on the 76ers, Robert . Covington interfered with George's three-point shot and stumbled out of the box. At the same time, the red light on the rebound comes on, and the game is over!
The Philadelphia 76ers, who have been in decline for several years, actually defeated the much-anticipated Indiana Pacers by 5 points at home. Undoubtedly, it was enough to get all the 76ers players excited to hug each other.
"Hey, it's just a little bit." Henson shook his head helplessly, but that was all.
He didn't yell at his players, nor did he appear too angry. Ever since he was hospitalized, Henson has paid special attention to controlling his emotions. Besides, the loss of this game itself is not temperary.
In terms of hard power, the 76ers naturally can't compare to the Pacers. But today, the 76ers' miraculous three-point shooting saved them
Stauskas's 4-of-6 three-pointer was just one representation of Gerrard. Henderson was 3-of-4 from the field, Covington was 3-of-6, and Dario was 3-of-6. Saric was 2 of 3 and T.J. McConnell was 2 of 2...... These magical three-pointers are the main reason why the 76ers were able to narrowly defeat the Pacers today.
In fact, the Pacers didn't do a bad job defensively today. But if the other party can throw in, what can Henson do?
So, it was really a loss that made Henson lose his temper.
After the game, Henson turned a blind eye to the 76ers players. In the post-match press conference, Henson also told the truth.
"We didn't lose to the 76ers, we just lost to the unusual three-point shooting percentage. So, I don't think there's something wrong with us. Because even the Golden State Warriors can't shoot more than 50% of their three-pointers every game. ”
Henson replied not to make excuses for himself. For one, he wanted to help the players regain their confidence. Second, he wants to suppress the arrogance of the 76ers.
Reporters actually don't think there's anything wrong with this answer, after all, it's a fact that the 76ers' three-point shooting percentage is too amazing today. So at the press conference, no reporter refuted Henson.
But this sentence just provoked a person who was not present at all today.
"Just losing to the magic three-point shooting percentage? That's Henson. Joe's excuse? I thought he had the air of a general, but now it seems that he has undoubtedly disappointed me. But that's okay, in four days' time, we'll beat the Pacers again. When the time comes, we will leave him with no excuses! ”
This sentence was posted on social media an hour and a half after the game, and in just one minute, the news spread around the world, and naturally reached the ears of Henson, who was preparing to sleep.
He looked at this dynamic and pouted helplessly. It seems that this year, the NBA league has been separated from Draymond. After Green, there will be another annoying big mouth.
Henson didn't pay much attention to such remarks, he didn't want to waste more saliva with the arrogant young man.
The person who released this news is the hope of the 76ers' revival, who has been in the league for three years, but has only played less than ten games, and did not go with the 76ers to Indianapolis Cameroon's "Olajuwon II" tonight because of the rotation. Embiid!
Although there was no response to the remarks, it does not mean that Henson is not looking forward to the Pacers' game against the 76ers in four days.
He didn't want to talk nonsense with the arrogant young people, but he was still very interested in teaching them a little lesson.
"The children of Nancun bullied me for being old and powerless", Henson couldn't accept it......
