190:Before the last meeting (commuter pass plus change)
March 24, Bradley Center. At this time, it is also obvious through the camera that the stands in the stadium are empty. Most of the fans chose to leave the stadium before the peak time for the collective return.
Inside the court, Coach Henson sat on the bench with a blank face, except for occasional contact with his assistant coach Frank. Vogel spoke.
Looking at the expressions, you must have thought that the outcome of this game was still undecided, and Henson and Vogel were still exchanging opinions for the game.
In reality, however, with two minutes left in the game, the Bucks were already trailing the Indiana Pacers by as many as 25 points......
Ever since the Warriors put Monta. After Ellis was thrown to Milwaukee, Jennings was killed. Like Curry, this is another desperate guard line where basketball is simply not enough to score. Of course, most of the time it's the Bucks' own lives.
I don't know why the Bucks are willing to accept Ellis, maybe they think competitive sports are a simple 1+1=2 game?
Jennings and Ellis are among those guards who need a lot of possession and shots, and then it depends on whether they can draw their hands. As a result, Bucks games often end with the snatch of Ellis and Jennings, which is simply a replica of the combination of Curry and Ellis.
Today's game was no exception, and Henson didn't even do anything special. The two Bucks guards threw and threw themselves away.
And just now, Henson and Vogel exchanged ears, and the conversation was all about the Heat......
"Henson, how about you respect your opponent......" Vogel was a little crying and laughing, if Bucks coach Skells knew that Henson didn't coach hard at all in this game, he could let the Pacers win the Bucks by more than 20 points, he would definitely have self-doubt.
It would not be an exaggeration to say that Henson did not coach with his heart. There were several timeouts today when Vogel called for Henson, because Henson didn't pay attention to the game at all, and spent the whole game on the bench, simulating the situation of the Pacers and the Heat over and over again in his head, and then asking Vogel all kinds of questions.
That is, Vogel helped Henson call a timeout, and Henson would make a substitution according to the regular rotation, and casually say a few words of "don't take it lightly, you have a chance to shoot again" This kind of nonsense that can't be refuted, but it is also meaningless.
Otherwise, the Pacers might not even have a timeout today.
"Opponents?" Henson looked up in confusion, as if he now knew he was fighting the Bucks.
"Awesome, 25 points ahead? How did you fight? ”
Henson said this in confusion, so that Vogel almost vomited blood.
But it's true that a team like the Bucks, which shoots and shoots itself to death, doesn't really need Henson to bother.
The score was fixed at 125-104 when the electronic beep sounded, and the Pacers slaughtered the home team at Bradley Center to go on a two-1 record in three straight back-to-back games. Well, it's 2-1 again.
There were no surprises in the first game against the Wizards and today's game against the Bucks, and the only loss was yesterday in Phoenix, where Nash had 17 assists in a single game, helping the Suns play a smooth offense. Paul and George's two key shots in the final moments allowed the Pacers to lose by two points.
However, the haze of this defeat has not yet formed, and today the Pacers slaughtered their opponents, which can be regarded as raising eyebrows.
It's very difficult to win all of them in 3 games in 3 days. Therefore, with a record of 2 wins and 1 loss, Henson is also satisfied.
After the game, Henson walked over to shake hands with Bucks coach Skells. Skyles shook his head and smiled, "What a great fight, Coach Henson." ”
Henson only smirked and nodded, after all, even he didn't know what was so exciting about this game.
At the post-match press conference, Henson didn't make any more noise. Reporters thought it was strange that in the face of such a big win of more than 20 points, Henson didn't take the opportunity to play?
For Henson, although the game the team won beautifully. However, the weight of the opponent is indeed too light. So even if he won by 20 points, he wasn't too excited.
If the Heat can win by 20 points, that's ......
Coach Henson, in two days, the Pacers will play the Miami Heat at home for the last time of the regular season this season. Since the last game was won by Dwayne. After Wade's three-point shot, do you think the Pacers can get revenge in their next game? ”
Sure enough, when he heard reporters mention the Miami Heat, Henson suddenly broke away from his lazy state, as if his eyes were much brighter.
"Revenge? I don't think it's the right word. The Heat have never killed us, so what about revenge? ”
"Never killed you? But now, the Pacers and the Heat have a record of 2 wins and 1 loss. The reporter laughed.
"That's right, it's 2-1 at the moment. But as you said, we still have one last chance to play each other. By the time the match is over on the 26th, it will be 2 wins and 2 losses. When the time comes, we will at best be able to level each other, and far from revenge. Henson spread his hands, and of course, what he said made another commotion among the reporters below.
The game hasn't been played yet, and Henson is so confident? Could it be that the 21-point victory against the Bucks this time has made this Chinese coach float to the sky?
"The Miami Heat are not the Milwaukee Bucks, Coach Henson. If you despise the Heat so much, I'm afraid it won't bring you good luck. A young reporter picked up the conversation and jokingly said that he wanted to see how Henson would end.
Henson stared at the young reporter in front of him, this guy is probably not an intern reporter. Because as long as a reporter with a little experience knows, don't mess with Henson! Especially, don't mess with him in front of him.
Henson didn't rush to answer, but touched his forehead, and looked at the young reporter with strange eyes, "I thought there was something wrong with my brain, and I couldn't express what I thought correctly through my mouth." But I just touched it and found that I didn't have a fever, so in the end I can only conclude that something is wrong with your brain, Mr. Reporter. ”
The reporter, who had been smiling playfully, suddenly changed his face and became very ugly. Because he didn't expect that if he scolded a head coach, he would be scolded back by the head coach in public! Is this guy crazy? Doesn't he care about his image? Doesn't he care about the team's image?
Other reporters are already snickering and watching the show, image? Henson. Joe has the image of a fart!
Soon, though, Henson continued to speak. After all, he can't scold people for being sick for no reason, but he has to scold them with reason, "No matter who the opponent is, we will be ready before the game starts, and that's why my team and I are so confident." The game against the Heat hasn't started yet, but we're ready for anything. So I'm confident that I'll be able to win a game. That's how we respect our opponents. So Mr. Reporter, how did you deduce that I despised the Heat as an opponent? ”
The young reporter had a blank face and couldn't hold back a word for a long time. And everyone else almost couldn't help but applaud Henson, and I have to admit that Henson's wave of whitewashing was beautiful.
After saying that, Henson smiled at the reporters very politely and bowed his head slightly before turning to leave.
For the media who want to take the opportunity to discredit themselves before the start of the game, Henson will be rough and rude! He's had enough of it, and he's always saddled with those inexplicable infamy because he's too lazy to talk to reporters.
"Why did you come back so soon?" Seeing Henson walk into the locker room, Vogel looked at his watch, and the press conference had only started for a few minutes.
"I don't want to talk to the media anymore, there's nothing to say about this game. Pack your things, folks. Go back to Indianapolis today and have a good night's rest, the day after tomorrow, we still have a tough battle to fight! ”
At the mention of the game the day after tomorrow, Henson was very excited, even more excited than winning by 21 points.
The playoffs are just a month away, when they last run into the Heat in the regular season this season. Everyone on the Pacers is in great shape, and the team's run-in is almost perfect now.
It's also time to give it all and go head-to-head with the Miamins.
