Thunder. Since Allen moved to the Pacers, his exposure in the league is actually much less than before.

After all, in Boston, even if he has a falling out with management and teammates, he is still one of the Big Three and a pivotal figure in the Celtics.

However, after coming to Indianapolis, the main characters of the city are Paul, George, and Henson. Joe. Thunder. Although Allen can still play about 20 minutes per game, he still averages double-digit points per game. But there is no doubt that Ray. Allen also encountered a dilemma that a star in his 40s would encounter.

But today's lore undoubtedly made everyone in the league and all fans suddenly remember. Who the hell is Aaron!

He was named to the NBA All-Star team ten times, won a championship ring, and was named to the All-NBA First Team. And, he's the player with the most three-pointers in NBA history! Behind him is none other than Pacers legend Reggie. Miller.

So even if the stars are getting older, don't underestimate them. This kind of guy can stand up and kill the game at any time!

"I didn't expect you to make a choice like that in the end, the elevator door...... You're the one who wins, coach. When he shook hands with Henson after the game, Stotts was also convinced.

Most teams faced the perseverance of the Trail Blazers and probably didn't make it to the end. But the Pacers not only survived, but also won the game in the final moments.

Another "typical" Trail Blazers-style defeat where they had a chance to pull a strong team down, only to be snatched away at the last minute.

After shaking hands with Stotts, Henson spotted Ray. Aaron has been surrounded by reporters. Gu Henson knew that this should be Ray. Allen moved to the Pacers after the most popular game. The protagonist will always be the protagonist.

Of course, the protagonist of this game is in addition to Ray. In addition to Allen, there is also Henson.

The day after the match, a number of coaches and pundits gave positive comments about Henson's handling of the final attack.

"Coach Henson has just talked to Mark. Jackson has played and has been able to win with elevator door tactics. No matter how you look at it, in my opinion, it was undoubtedly a smart move. ESPN columnist said.

"I'm also learning from Henson. Joe's tactics, no matter who invented them or what they were called, as long as they help the coach and the team win, it's a good tactic. Spurs coach Popovich said with a smile.

"I don't think it's stealing, the other coaches are willing to use my tactics to set up the last attack, which is a kind of affirmation for me. Of course, Henson improved on my basis and I very much approve of his changes, and I have to say that the Pacers won beautifully. "Even Mark who carried forward the elevator doors. Jackson himself is full of praise for Henson.

"It's the first time I've seen me get so many positive reviews." Looking at the mobile phone in his hand, Henson couldn't help but laugh.

18-1, and also experienced a subtle lore. When you are impeccable in your grades, no one will question you. No one fights with him, and Henson is a little unaccustomed to it.

Of course, the Pacers aren't the only team in the league that is getting the most attention. On the night of the Pacers' defeat of the Trail Blazers, last season's Western Conference champions, the Oklahoma City Thunder, defeated the incoming Lakers F4 114-108 at home.

Durant's 36 points and Westbrook's 33 eclipsed the Lakers' Big Four.

After this game, the Thunder have won 7 in a row and are tied with the Spurs for first place in the West with a 17-4 record!

"People always thought that after Harden left, the strength of the Thunder would drop dramatically. However, this is not the case, and Oklahoma's youth army is still strong! ”

"Durant and Westbrook have stepped into the ranks of the league's top stars, and the Thunder will definitely get their revenge this season!"

"If the first place in the East and the first place in the West meet again, I think this game will definitely be really exciting!"

The Pacers' win and the Thunder's seven-game winning streak to become the No. 1 in the West combined made fans look forward to the "rematch" between the Thunder and the Pacers.

Both teams have shown devastating offensive performance so far this season, so who is the real strongest?

This topic has been hotly discussed by major TV stations, and even has been promoted in advance for this nationally broadcast game. Because four days later, this high-profile "first vs first" king battle will start in Oklahoma.

The outside world is so hot, and Henson doesn't dare to sit idly by. He began to study the Thunder's footage, and in practice, he also had the players practice simulations based on the characteristics of the Thunder. Even before the Thunder, the Pacers have to play the Nuggets at home. But the Pacers have moved forward and focused on their opponents in last season's Finals.

The Denver Nuggets, as if they have been forgotten by the entire league.

"People's neglect will cost them." Nuggets coach George. In an interview, Karl expressed dissatisfaction with this attitude of the outside world.

"Now the whole world is talking about the Thunder and the Pacers as if we don't exist at all. But it doesn't matter, the result will be remindful of us. ”

The meaning of "Crazy Carl" is very clear, he wants to give the Pacers a good look!

Henson was not nervous about Karl's provocation. When he was a rookie coach, George. Carl might be able to get himself in trouble. But the current Nuggets don't have the capital to compete with the Pacers.

Since Cameron. After Anthony's trip to the East, the Nuggets lacked a superstar who was the final word. Although the team is still in George. The outlook is solid under Karl's leadership, but even Nuggets fans must admit that they can't stand up for someone who can stabilize the situation in a critical moment.

George. Karl's coaching style is that there are no superstars, but "no superstars" here refers to the privilege of not having a superstar, not the ability of not having a superstar.

At critical moments, a team with a superstar and a team without a superstar are completely two concepts.

Take a look at the Nuggets' staffing this season, Tate. Lawson? This guy is not on the same level as Anthony Chicken. Iguodala? He's the Nuggets' star right now, but Iguodala has never been a scorer. Javier. Mcgee? Come on, Big McGee is just playing with a high level of spectacle, but it's still a long way from the title of the star of the house.

In the absence of an absolute superstar and a major point of attack for the Nuggets, Henson believes his team will be able to contain the opposing team's offense with an impregnable defense.

"George. Coach Carl thinks I'm ignoring his team? This is definitely the most vicious slander. If he wants to get attention, he can prove himself on the pitch instead of yelling around like a clown. ”

There's George. Karl's provocation reappeared, and in the courtside interview before the start of the game, Henson finally got over his mouth.

However, his response, naturally, could not have made George. Carl was happy. Originally, Carl was quite irritable, and he was scolded by Henson like this, and he was even more angry.

What is even more infuriating, however, is that George. Karl's side really didn't take advantage of the game. His ball-handling core Ty. Lawson was badly restrained by Paul today, and Iguodala and Gallinari were also engulfed by the defense of George and Leonard.

Throughout the game, the Nuggets' starting five Tigers can be said to be all dumb, except for McGee and Brewer, who came off the bench, and still have some offensive power.

Sure enough, as Barkley said, if the tantrum had worked, the Nuggets would have been champions long ago.

Wait until the fourth quarter when Henson turns on Jimmy again. After Butler, even Brewer began to fail. The game was gradually widened by the time the game was over with five minutes left and the Nuggets were already trailing by 10 points. Enraged, Karl called the match off and pulled Iguodala past him.

"If you can't stop him, let him get off!" Carl's roar stunned Iguodala and told him to get off the field? What does that mean?

"What!? I'm not going to do that. I'm a player, not an executioner. Iguodala frowned, as a manager, how could he ask his players to do such a thing?

"You coward!" Carl pushed Iguodala away, and then let everyone tell him, desperate to get on the physical strength.

"Provoke them and make them lose their minds! I don't care what method you use, anyway, don't let those guys play the last few minutes comfortably! Listen, this is the only chance we have to win! ”

Nuggets players, you look at me, I look at you, and I don't know what to do. It stands to reason that the manager should listen to what they say, because they are all about winning. But George. Karl pushes his players up as if it's not just about winning the game......

Iguodala shook his head, the nickname "Mad Carl" really lived up to his name.
