224: "Garbage" narrator Steve. Cole
The Pacers came to Miami, and there is no doubt that they were warmly "welcomed" by the local media. However, at the end of the day, the media in Miami found that Henson was like swallowing gunpowder, not only did he not lose his will because he was down 0-2, but he was very excited, and he had to say a couple of words to everyone.
"Will the team lose two in a row in Miami? Of course not, because we're going to sell tickets for the fifth game. ”
"What do you think of the Heat's victory? They've been winning all season long, and you can see what to think of them by looking at their footage, without asking me. ”
"Is there any pressure? So what? Can you help me out? ”
Henson treated all the reporters who tried to dig a hole for him with cold words and sarcasm. This Chinese coach doesn't seem to care what others think of him, he is a maverick and will never bow to anyone.
However, Henson's toughness was met with even more wanton ridicule from the Miami media the next day.
You can be awesome in the regular season because you always win games. But now the situation is different, the Indiana Pacers have lost two home games in a row!
"Coach Henson's sharpening skills are top-notch, and if his coaching level is comparable to his level of mouthballing, I think the series aggregate score should be 1-1, not 2-0."
"He doesn't know what respect is! But in Miami, the Heat will teach him to be respectful! ”
"I'm curious to see if Coach Henson will think as highly of himself as he does now when the series goes 3-0!"
May 31, the day of the start of Game 3 of the Eastern Conference Finals. As soon as Henson went down to the hotel restaurant for breakfast, he saw everyone studying the news on their phones and the newspapers in their hands.
Seeing Henson come down, everyone put down their things and cast concerned glances at him.
Vogel immediately helped Henson grab something to eat, Silas helped Henson drag a chair, and Fraser ran to bring Henson a cup of hot milk.
"Henson, come and have breakfast!"
"Uh...... Which one are you singing? "Henson was a little overwhelmed, his three assistants were struck by lightning last night?
"Come on, everybody's ready for you! Eat more, I've seen that you don't have a good appetite at night lately. If she goes back hungry and thin, Anjiali will definitely blame us. Before Henson could react, Vogel pushed him into his chair.
"Well, breakfast is a very important meal, and you can't always handle it with a cup of coffee." Silas said, squeezing Henson's shoulder.
"Yes, yes, just have breakfast with peace of mind. The night game...... It's still early for the evening game, so let's not think about the game now. That ......"
"If you get it, don't toss, I'm not under much pressure." Henson interjected and waved his hand, these three guys must have thought that they were autistic by the collective attack of the Miami media.
"Henson ......"
"It's okay, let them scold if they love to scold, I'm used to it. From the first day I became an assistant coach, I was scolded until now. To be honest, my ears are already calloused! Thank you for your concern, but I must say that their yelling was no pain to me! If it takes their attention away from the players and towards me, then they just scold. Henson spread his hands and smiled at his three partners.
yes, with the Pacers, players don't usually have a lot of media. Even the notorious Stephenson has been sprayed by the media a lot less often after entering the NBA. Because Henson. Joe, always willing to step up and draw firepower for his players. And what the players have to do is to train with peace of mind, win the victory, and give Henson the capital to slap this back in the face!
Henson is not a clown, and he doesn't like to be scolded around. But for the sake of protecting the players, everything is worth it!
"Before the game even started, the news about basketball had already been wiped out by almost all the local news outlets. Tonight's game is going to be very, very lively. Henson narrowed his eyes slightly, staring at the ceiling of the dining room.
In front of the media, he pretended to be relaxed. But Henson formulated that even with a three-pronged approach, the Pacers didn't have a chance to win. Who can say clearly about the competition? In fact, any seemingly easy victory comes from the hard work behind the scenes. But no one can guarantee that their efforts will be rewarded.
In the crucial third battle, I also played all my hole cards. What the fate of the Pacers this season will be, it's up to tonight!

"I'm sitting in the stands at the American Airlines Center and broadcasting tonight's game, the 2011-2012 NBA Playoffs Eastern Conference Finals! Good evening everyone, I'm Mike. Brin will join you tonight to watch the Miami Heat vs. Pacers game. The guest who will be with me tonight is Steve. Hello Cole, Cole! ”
At half past seven o'clock in the evening of the 31st, half an hour before the start of the game, the fans had already heard Mike. Brin's voice. Next to Brin was a middle-aged man with thin cheeks and short pale yellow hair.
Steve. Kerr, the hero of the second three-game winning streak of the Bulls in the 90s, won two championships with the Spurs in the 98-99 and 02-03 seasons. As a role player, he wears five championship rings on his hands! This gentleman can be described as a veritable champion point guard!
Kerr's last entry into the NBA was in 2007 when he served as the Suns' general manager. However, after 2010, Steve. Cole was back as a narrator. But in fact, Kerr never gave up looking for an opportunity to return to the NBA. If there is a team that needs to recruit a head coach, Kerr will definitely try it as soon as possible.
"Kerr, the Pacers are currently 2-0 behind the Heat, and the next two games are still on the Heat's home court! Do you think a 4-0 score is possible? Will Coach Henson be swept away? "Mike. Brin didn't talk much nonsense, and after introducing the guests, he immediately led the topic to the part that the fans were most interested in!
Steve. Kerr, the owner of five championship rings, knows better than anyone how the playoffs work. Faced with this sensitive question, the blonde-haired Cole just smiled at the camera and shook his head, "No, Coach Henson is not so easy to beat. 2-0 doesn't mean anything, and the Heat can't take it lightly. ”
"God, stupid commentary!"
"This commentary is rubbish, it's obviously a Pacers fan!"
"Can't ESPN find a commentator? Call such a piece of garbage. What else does the Pacer have a chance? They've got a fart! ”
Kerr didn't know how many Miami fans were cursing at him at this point. Even if he had, Kerr didn't care, because he wasn't favoring the Pacers, he was just telling the truth.
"Oh? Are you so sure? "Mike. Brin didn't expect Cole's answer to be so decisive.
"Let's think back to what the Pacers have done this season. They recruited Chris. Paul, who won 50 games in a shortened season, took advantage of the last game to regain the top spot in the East after eight seasons...... Create the Impossible, Pacer and Henson. Joe has been doing this kind of thing all season, haven't you gotten used to it? Trailing 2-0, this is not a battle of life and death for the amazing Pacers, but just another challenge. ”
Henson, who was arranging tactics in the locker room, couldn't help but sneeze, God knows who was talking about himself behind his back, and now there are more people talking about himself.
"Where did you just go? Yes, rebounding, scrambling for offensive rebounding! We can't let the Heat easily fight back, we can't let them easily put away rebounds. Try to grab offensive rebounds and grab a second offensive opportunity. The weakness of the Heat team is the interior line, so we will use our brains more on the inside! If you can't catch the rebound, everyone will cut off the passing route as soon as possible! Remember, it's cutting off the pass, not the quick return to protect the basket! If we don't force the Heat to slow down, we can't protect the basket! 'Henson repeated his tactical thinking again, in fact he didn't have to repeat it, and the players knew what to do because the players were callousing their ears these days.
"On the defensive end, forcing the Heat to fall into position. On the offensive end, we have to be patient as well. If you fall into a positional battle, pass the ball to me and run! Don't stop the ball, and don't hesitate. In short, the Heat can't be left with any chance to make up for their mistakes! ”
After two game losses, Henson found that the reason for the Pacers' loss was not only the players, but also his own tactics. When Spoelstra changed formations, he didn't come up with any decent way to deal with it.
As a result, Henson reworked a number of policies after calling everyone in the coaching staff for a tactical meeting. This game will prove whether the efforts of Henson and the coaching staff have not been in vain.
"It's almost time, everything that needs to be said has been said, I just want to remind one last time, 0 to 2 is not the end of the world, go ahead!"
As soon as Henson waved his hand, the players, whose morale had already returned, rushed out of the locker room and rushed onto the pitch with a scream.
At this time, Henson was still worried. Only in front of his own people will Henson write his emotions on his face.
"Frazier, how has Leonard's shooting training been in the past few days?" Henson straightened his suit and walked over to the shooting coach he had personally recruited.
He had to confirm whether the 5-game attribute bonus was useful or not.
Fraser didn't answer immediately, but shook his head. Henson's heart tightened, that thing wouldn't be unreliable, right?
"Honestly, Henson. I don't know how, but I've never seen him so accurate this whole season. Fraser shook his head.
"Fraser."
"Huh?"
"Next time, can you answer me first and then shake your head?" Henson clutched his chest, his heart almost jumping out.
