056: Crazy Iron

What do you think of his remarks? I just hope Coach Henson can keep his mouth shut and command his game! "In the face of Christine's question, George. Carl seemed a little angry. As one of the most prestigious coaches in the entire league, Carl didn't expect a rookie who had just commanded the team to play five games to dare to speak out!

George. Karl had never been a man of modesty until he was young. Even in the face of the biggest star in the league, Carl dares to speak out, let alone a young man like Henson who is not too famous in coaching circles.

Look at George. Karl blushed and walked away, and Christine let out a big sigh. About George. Carl's interview ended safely, and as Henson said, the question was safe. It's not too boring, and it's not too burning. The intern couldn't help but look at the Pacers' bench. Coach Joe? What an interesting guy.

"It's attacking! It's faster than us, it's really unbelievable! "Look at George. Karl swore and returned to the bench, Cameron. Anthony knew it wasn't going to be a good thing. I don't know who actually lit this powder keg in advance.

"Listen, guys! You lost to the Mavericks in the last game and I can't accept losing to a team like the Pacers today! Cheer me up and engulf this place with your fiercest attack when you come on the field! Run for me, don't be lazy, I need you to speed up the pace as soon as you get on the court, and shoot when you get the chance! If anyone hesitates, get me down and sit on the bench! "As Anthony expected, George. As soon as Carl returned, he grabbed him by the throat and started yelling.

But Carl's roar made the Nuggets players gear up. When a coach allows a team to go on the ball as soon as they get on the pitch, there aren't many players who don't get excited.

The Denver Nuggets have always been like this, they don't play team basketball, they call it "gang" basketball. George. Karl doesn't advocate for a superstar on the team, as anyone could be his superstar tonight. As long as you feel good today, whether you're a first-year rookie or a 40-year-old veteran, you'll have unlimited firing rights.

That's why J.R. Smith is playing well with the Nuggets. No matter how iron you J.R. was in the last game, as long as you are accurate now, George Carr will dare to use you, and he will dare to give you the right to play.

On the Pacers' side, Henson, who just said in front of the media that he would use offense to contain the offense, is arranging a defensive ...... for the team

"Cameron. Anthony, I've said this countless times the other day. If anyone makes him play, the Nuggets can take the win. We can't let this super scorer go unasked, Daniel, you defend Cameron personally. Don't worry, you've got teammates behind you to help you with your defenses. We have to use the strength of the team to contain Cameron's play. After you get on the court, no matter how fast the opponent plays, you have to stabilize the rhythm for me, be patient, and don't be led up by the opponent. Be patient, shoot when you get a chance, and pass the ball to Holiday and Daniel if you don't have a chance, all understand!? ”

"Understood!"

After making the final deployment, Henson watched the starting five Tigers step onto the court. After walking back to the bench, Henson sat down with Stephenson and Paul. In the middle, George opened his arms and hugged the two of them.

"Don't think you don't have a job today, Lance, do you see that guy with tattoos on the bench on the other side? J.R. Smith plays, and I'll put you on the field. If you get him to hit above 40% today, add an hour of lateral pace tomorrow. As for George, your job is to score as many points as possible in the second team. Play to your strengths and think of this as the University of Fresno, and you're the star of the school! ”

The two rookies looked at the manager sitting next to them, and they really didn't know, Henson. Joe and George. Karl, who is more like a bandit leader?

※※※

When the starting five tigers of both sides stood in the designated position, the current T.NT commentator, the former king of Indianapolis, Reggie Miller, couldn't help but widen his eyes.

"The Pacers let Mike, who didn't play much in the first five games. Dunleavy starts! The previous starting lineup, Coach Henson, had only taken five games before it changed again! Could it be that after losing to the Bucks in the last game, Coach Henson has made a new adjustment? "Reggie. Miller really couldn't understand what Henson's tricks were, and in the face of the Nuggets' simple and crude "track and field" style of play, he obviously continued to use Paul. George, a rookie with great athleticism, would be a better fit.

Instead of doing that, Henson took Dunleavy, a mediocre white shooter.

Reggie. Miller has always been a fan of the Pacers, so he has never publicly questioned Bird and has a wait-and-see attitude towards Henson, a rookie coach. It's just that today's change of formation still makes Miller feel a little inappropriate.

After the start of the game, the 2.11-meter-tall Brazilian center Nene won the first attack for the Nuggets. Veteran star point guard Chauncey. Billups trotted all the way through the half, and George. Carl wanted a fast-paced offense, and Billups gave him a fast-paced offense.

Anthony had just settled down on the flank when he raised his hand to ask for the ball. Carl wants to attack more!

Billups didn't hesitate and passed the ball to Anthony, who has been making headlines almost every day due to the recent transfer turmoil. Anthony held the ball and realized that it was not Dunleavy who was in a hurry to defend him, but Daniel. Granger!

But even Granger, Anthony won't take it seriously. Not to mention Granger, even if Kobe Bryant or James are in front of Anthony at this time, he will not hesitate at all, and he will rush with the ball!

Seeing this, Wesley. Matthews' help was immediately in place, and if Anthony insisted on breaking through, he would be surrounded by two men.

Although a little unwilling, Anthony still gave the ball to the starting point back Afflalo, who was temporarily emptied. Afflalo catches the ball in the bottom right corner and shoots, the basketball hollows into the net, and the Nuggets score first!

"Hmph, I've seen the offensive firepower of the Nuggets." George. Karl smirked smirkly on the bench and played against himself? Are you qualified?

Although the Pacers conceded the ball as soon as they came up, Henson didn't seem to care. The camera gave Henson a close-up, only to see Henson sitting on the bench with his legs crossed with an indifferent face, as if it was the Nuggets who had just lost points.

After the Pacers' offense was played, the tempo was still fast. But this kind of speed is different from the previous games, which are fast to advance and shoot fast, often only a few seconds for the Pacers to complete the offense, which is quite a bit of a whirlwind for the Suns.

But the Pacers' speed today is more reflected in the fast conduction. The players were very quick to pass the ball in the half, almost always with one hand. With fast transmission and endless running, the Pacers quickly ripped open up offensive space. Horford covered off the ball, and Dunleavy went to the bottom left corner to temporarily get rid of Anthony, who was in the habit of laziness on the defensive end.

At the same time, Holiday immediately delivered the ball, and Dunleavy shot directly after receiving the basketball!

It's all three-point opportunities from the bottom corner, but it's different from the Nuggets. Afflalo just scored on a shot, while Dunleavy's shot stumbled out of the box.

"Tsk." The 2.06-meter-tall white shooter shook his head, the arc was a little higher, a little taller......

"The opportunity came out, but Dunleavy missed the shot! In fact, Dunleavy played less than 20 minutes on average in the first five games. I don't understand why Coach Henson would send such a player who hasn't played his form yet. If the ball had been changed to Paul. George, maybe I'm in! Dunleavy may still have to take a long time to adjust! ”

Miller shook his head, the starting point of a basketball game is all about stability. The more consistent the squad, the easier it will be for the players to play form. But a lot of commentators, even former pros-turned-commentators, are easy to overlook.

The manager knows best whether a player is in good form or not. Fans and commentators can only see the state of a player in the game, but what kind of training he usually looks like and what level he usually has, these are only visible to the head coach.

In the jamming shooting practice before the start of the game this afternoon, Dunleavy's shooting percentage was still frighteningly high! Henson believes Dunleavy can play at an excellent pace. As for the iron striking just now, that's normal. Even the league's greatest shooter can't guarantee that he's going to hit every shot.

As he spoke, the Nuggets had already attacked. Cameron. Anthony in Daniel. Granger hit a pull-up jumper on the head, 5-0!

In this ball, people have nothing to say except for lamenting Anthony's strong personal ability. Because Anthony's breakthrough didn't get rid of the defense at all, this shot Granger also defended very well. This kind of goal was scored, and Henson recognized it. After all, there's no way the Nuggets can kill the game with this kind of reluctant offense!

"It's 5-0, Coach Henson got off to a bad start. It looks like the Nuggets' offense is more than twice as ferocious as theirs. "Reggie. Miller is a little worried that most of the games the Pacers have won this season have come on the road, and Henson must not lose at home again. For home fans, they have been hungry for a home win for long enough.

The Pacers' offense is still not "fast", which is in stark contrast to the last game that was littered with a few seconds of play. In the face of the Nuggets' meat grinder-style defense, the Pacers' previous fluid offense didn't seem to be able to play.

Entering the rotation time, it was Stephenson's successful defense of J.R. Smith and Paul George's unexpectedly good performance on the second team that barely allowed the Pacers to stabilize the situation a little. 23-25, with Anthony only 2-of-6 shooting, the Pacers still trailed the Nuggets by 2 points.

Because compared to Anthony's 2-of-6 shooting, Dunleavy missed all 3 shots from the three-point line in the first quarter of the game, which was even more glaring. These two guys seem to have smashed the baskets in the Consec Arena.

"If Cameron. Anthony got back into shape in the second half of the game, and all that awaited the Pacers was destruction! Miller wasn't surprised by Dunleavy's poor play. But surprisingly, Paul. George is still in great form. He came off the bench to score six points in a single quarter, and without those six points, the Pacers would now be trailing by double digits.

As long as Henson gets George back into the starting lineup in the second quarter, the Pacers still have a chance!

But after a short intermission, Dunleavy was still on the ground with 3 shots and 0 shots in the first quarter!

Miller shook his head, maybe this time, Bird really looked away.
