397: A bunch of bandits

The Spurs were so close to winning the game that they were known as the most solid team in the league, rarely being overturned by their opponents when they were leading by a large margin.

When Gary was seen. Neil exploded at the three-point line, and the Spurs led the Pacers by 21 points at their maximum. Brin believes that the Spurs are likely to tie the series at 1-1.

However, no one could have imagined. Henson was able to complete a shocking comeback in just one quarter of the game.

From trailing by 15 points to winning the game by 3 points, these 12 minutes are definitely a textbook counterattack that every coach can refer to.

Henson's flexible use of personnel and timeouts, as well as a clear tactical strategy, allowed the Pacers to close the gap step by step. When to attack, when to shrink the defense, presumably after this game, will become the object of study and learning by all coaches.

Of course, Henson didn't yet know that he had so much of an impact on the league. The moment the game ended, Henson went crazy and ran onto the pitch. In the last game, Horford completed the stunner, and Henson was able to hold it down somewhat. If Horford hadn't rushed over and knocked him down, he wouldn't have looked so disheveled.

But today, Henson was even more excited than he was when Horford completed the stunner in the last game. From a big deficit to a comeback in the final quarter, Henson found the experience more gratifying than the stunner.

He hugged the players, not at all the fashionable and cold man he had yesterday at the center of the circle.

In fact, it's rare in the NBA to have a coach celebrate a win with his players like this. Because of their age, it's hard for them to bounce after a win like a player would. But Henson ...... His age doesn't seem to be much different from the players.

"Coach Henson, he's still young." Mike. Brin smiled and shook his head, his tone full of envy.

By the time the was over, Henson's Armani suit was disheveled. At this time, he did not have the calm temperament of the game, because after the victory, Henson never hid his emotions.

Reporters will shoot the game for a crucial three-pointer Ray. Aaron was surrounded by water, and of course, Henson did not escape such a fate. His presence command and Ray. Allen's key three points are the key to the Pacers' victory in this game, and they are indispensable!

"Coach Henson, congratulations! It was a great win and the team's performance in the fourth quarter was nothing short of perfect! The ESPN reporter came up and congratulated Henson, and then moved on to the topic, "Can you tell us what you gave to the players in the last quarter?" ”

'It doesn't matter what I say because no matter how well a coach puts his tactics in place, it's in vain for the players to not execute them. So, it's the players who win, and I'm proud of the way they played in the key moments, and I'm proud of the momentum that they never gave up. ”

It can be seen that Henson is really very happy today. After all, he is rarely so gentle in front of the media.

"Now that the team is 2-0 up, how many games do you think you can win the championship in a few games?" The reporter's second question seems conventional, but it is actually very poignant.

However, when it comes to the game, Henson will not be modest, nor will he be polite because his opponent is Popovich. Both teams came to the finals to win the championship. So, there's no need to hide it.

"For the next three games, we're going to be in San Antonio. It was definitely going to be a tough three games. But my team's ability to resist in tough situations, I'm sure you've seen it. You ask me if I'm going to win in a few races, and I can't answer you. All I can say is that the next time we fly back to Indianapolis, we'll have the O'Brien Cup in hand! ”

Henson nodded, confident. The San Antonio Spurs don't seem to be that difficult to deal with!

At the press conference that followed, reporters interviewed Popovich and Henson were in two completely different states.

When interviewing Popovich, the reporters were very positive, after all, there is so much to talk about this game for the Spurs.

"Manu. Ginobili had 27 points and shot 5-of-10 from three-point range. Gary. Neil scored 24 points and made 6 of 10 three-pointers. We're shooting 50 percent from three-point range as a team, and we're four fewer turnovers than the Pacers. And just like that, we still lost. To be honest, I can't comment on this kind of competition. The Pacers had a flawless fourth quarter and Ray. Allen's last-minute three-pointer killed us completely. ”

Faced with the reporters' questions, Popovich could only shake his head. Ginobili and Neal shot so amazingly from three-point range, but the Spurs still lost. Even Popovich could feel a sense of powerlessness spread throughout his body.

Looking at the old man's tired demeanor, the reporters couldn't help but sigh. Maybe it's time for the top coach in the league to change the dynasty?

On the other side, the Pacers' post-game press conference, reporters were quite silent. Because this group of guys wanted to take advantage of Henson's participation in business activities yesterday to launch a crazy attack on him, but as everyone knows, the Pacers actually completed such an incredible reversal.

This victory, gags everyone's mouths.

"Why are you all dumb? What did you plan to ask me? Coach Henson, did your participation in business yesterday affect your preparation for today's game? Coach Henson, George. Did Mr. Giorgio Armani tell you that you can only choose one or the other way between a brand ambassador and a league champion? Ask, throw all your questions, and I'll answer them patiently today. ”

Henson's rhetorical questions on stage left reporters speechless. Those were indeed questions that the reporters were prepared to ask, but the Pacers' comeback win made them meaningless.

"If no one asks, I'll call the press conference over." Henson spread his hands, stood up and walked straight out of the media reception room.

Sure enough, no one complained, and no one dared to keep it. Even if Henson was photographed fooling around in a nightclub until 4 a.m. yesterday, no one would jump out to question him today. After all, a perfect counterattack can make all doubts disappear completely.

After the game, Henson met Angari in the players' tunnel who had been watching from the sidelines today. Without saying anything, the girl jumped into Henson's arms.

"Well done, even I thought the game couldn't be saved!"

"Don't worry, I remember my promise."

"I'll wait for you in the car, go back to the dressing room, your players are still waiting for you." Angeli kissed Henson on the cheek because there were other people in the tunnel. Otherwise, it would be a passionate French wet kiss.

Henson nodded, then headed for the locker room. When Henson walked through the dressing room door, it was clear that the players had been waiting for a long time. Because Henson walked in less than ten seconds before the $3,000 Armani suit on his body was damaged.

"Surprise!" The players shouted one after another, and they expressed their gratitude and respect to Henson in the form of a glass of water per person.

"Damn, I think we're going to have a few more new rules in the future. For example, it is forbidden to splash water on the head coach. Henson's tone was serious, but there was a smile on his face.

"You lucky stinky boys, Lady Luck has favored you once again. Okay, all the farts I just talked about. You've done a great job and I'm so proud of your performance. But as we all know, in the next three games, we will have three consecutive away games in San Antonio. It's very tough for any team to play three consecutive away games in San Antonio. I can tell you responsibly that the next three games will be a hellish test for us! ”

Although the game was won beautifully, Henson did not want his players to rest on his laurels. After all, you have to win four games in the playoffs to win.

Still, Henson didn't want to dampen the confidence of the players, "I believe that when we come back from San Antonio, when we come back from hell and come back." We are greeted by a beautiful summer day like heaven! Two wins in a row, gentlemen! It's time to make another goddamn piece of history! ”

"Roar!"

After Henson finished speaking, the players screamed.

Stevens shook his head, this looks like a professional basketball team. It's clearly a bandit leader who leads a bunch of butchers to San Antonio to rob.

yes, bandits. San Antonio people have to be careful, because these green forest heroes are specialized in robbing honor......
