297: Four-dimensional pocket

Paul. George holds the ball from beyond the three-point line, waiting for his teammates to run and then send the basketball to the next spot. But at this time, Paul. George made two very low-level mistakes. First, the ball is held too high and the center of gravity is not pressed. Second, underestimating the opponent in front of him.

I saw a dark shadow come to him, Paul. Before George could react to what was happening, he felt that the basketball in his hand had been stolen.

He subconsciously reflexively chased back, only to find that the speed of the ball thief was not slow at all.

In the end, it was Chris, who retreated in time. Paul used his body to force the ball thief to stop outside the three-point line, interrupting the opponent's fast break.

However, the pirates did not stop attacking. He turned close to Paul and pushed Paul away with his strong back. After getting the space, he didn't break through, but retreated to the three-point line and made a decisive three-point shot!

In Henson's opinion, this is not an opportunity at all, where would anyone shoot alone from beyond the three-point line? No one would do that except that Lakers maniac!

But this time, Henson didn't shout or stop the confrontation on the sidelines of the training ground. Sure enough, after the basketball flew for a while, the Nets were flooded with "white waves" and hit three-point shots!

"Oh my God, this guy's offense is growing by leaps and bounds!" As Henson had expected, Vogel immediately let out an impress.

"yes, he's put the main team in crisis several times." Henson smiled and looked at the player who had just made a three-pointer after completing a steal, and the player looked at him as well.

Jimmy. Butler, this is this year's pre-season training camp, and Henson got a bonus! Originally, I was just betting on the potential of the thirtieth pick, but I didn't expect to scratch a lottery ticket.

With a difficult goal like the one just now, Butler didn't perform once or twice on the training ground. From that point on, Henson was thinking, maybe in a certain game, he could appear as a surprise singles powerhouse and let himself take control.

A season is so long, who can tell? Well, maybe, there will be such a game.

※※※

Jimmy. Butler himself dribbled across half court and then fell straight into the game with Kevin. Martin's singles. Even the most daring coach in the world doesn't necessarily want Henson to dare to do so, let alone Scott, who has relatively poor mental flexibility. Brooks too.

With a team's third quarterback, hold the ball alone! What is this concept? If it were the Lakers, it would be equivalent to putting Kobe Bryant and Jordi on the table. Meeks doesn't, but Pydewen. Ibanks came on the pitch and also let him play with the ball!

You ask Devon. Who is Ibanks? That's the concept of having the team's third quarterback hold the ball alone!

So seeing that Butler didn't mean to pass the ball at all, Kevin. Martin's first reaction was: What the hell is this guy trying to do?

As an old fritter who has been in the league for many years, Martin still knows very well how many pounds and taels he has. He knew that his physical fitness was not enough compared to the "birds and beasts" in the alliance. And his defensive ability is far from excellent. But Martin doesn't think that a young defender at the end of the bench can also pick himself out!

"Damn rookie!" Martin felt that he had been slighted and insulted, and he gritted his teeth in anger and was extremely focused! Let a rookie go it alone? Then you should give it a try!

In the face of Martin, who gritted his teeth, Butler had no stage fright. He's very aware of his ability and he knows very well that the manager knows what he is capable of. Only this group of enemies, they don't know what they can do!

"Coach Henson is crazy, he's absolutely crazy!" Kenny. Smith shook his head in confusion at Henson.

And fans all over Oklahoma booed the little-known Pacers youngster.

It was against this background that Butler, who had been looking for a rhythm, started!

Martin dropped back so quickly that he bet it was definitely one of the most focused rounds of his life on the defensive end. Martin chicken thief sealed Butler's breakout lane without giving him any gaps. Want to squeeze out a way by brute force and toughness? It's not that simple!

But just when Martin and the Thunder fans were secretly smug, Jimmy . Butler suddenly pulled his crotch back, pulled back, and then immediately followed up to shoot!

"Carving insect skills!" Kevin. Martin was focused today, so the blocking was very, very fast, but it seemed a little ...... It's going too far.

Seeing Martin flying towards him, Butler unhurriedly took the basketball back, and then jumped again to face Martin! Martin's heart "chuckled", as one of the most porcelain-friendly defenders in the league, Martin knew very well that he was touched this time!

The bodies of the two collided violently in the air, but Jimmy. Butler's strength is still greater than Kevin's. Martin's vision. Even under such a confrontation, Butler's shooting action was not deformed, and he threw the ball against Martin. At the same time, the whistle blew, and Martin didn't argue with the referee after he landed, but immediately turned around to look at the frame!

Now it's not a question of whether to foul or not, it's a question of whether it will be played 2+1!

Afraid of what's coming, Jimmy. Butler's strong confrontation ability allowed him to make this mid-range shot in physical contact. Basketball into the net, two points are valid, and a penalty will be added!

“Yes! It's actually done!? Jimmy. Butler, he was at Kevin. Martin hit a headshot to win a three-point opportunity! "Kenny. Smith said "Henson is crazy" one second, and the next he shouted beautifully.

Barkley snickered on the sidelines, thinking that he had been groomed by Henson like this......

"My heart is beating out." Vogel touched his chest, and every time Henson made a bold decision, Vogel was the most nervous.

"Don't be nervous, with such a big singles advantage, I don't need any playmaking defenders at all!" Henson became proud, why did he dare to send such a lineup that didn't even have a center forward in the organization? Because of the offense of this lineup, there is no need to organize!

Go on the line, make free throws, hit a three-point shot. Jimmy. Butler ran back to half court immediately after the free throw, and waited for Kevin with open arms. Martin approached. Henson looked into his eyes, and saw only an endless desire in his eyes, the desire to win!

Kevin. Martin swallowed, he knew now that he had hit a hard stubble. And Scott. Brooks was also confused, although he had previously been confused about Jimmy. Butler knew somewhat, but only that he was an outside defender, but no one ever said Jimmy. Butler is an all-round scorer.

What's more, last season Jimmy. Butler didn't even make the Pacers' 12-man playoff roster. Now that such a character has suddenly appeared, Brooks doesn't know what to do.

Compared to Wesley. Matthews, Butler's defense is not far behind. On the offensive end, Butler is better at attacking with the ball than Matthews. A strong point with the ball right on the side of Kevin. Martin was such a defensive hole, and Brooks was unknowingly relegated to the army.

Subsequently, the Thunder's offense was still looking for Martin, after all, his performance in the first quarter of the game was there. Martin has scored 13 points so far, which is a non-negligible feat for any bench player.

This time, Martin decided to return a tooth for a tooth, and to touch porcelain for porcelain. As we all know, Kevin. Martin is one of the league's "porcelain kings", and his superb acting skills are one of the reasons why he averaged 10 free throws per game in the 08-09 season.

Martin did his old job, and he went inside with the ball. But Jimmy. Butler's steps are unmessy and clean. When Martin jumped, Butler jumped up very quickly and slapped the basketball in Martin's hand!

A big head-splitter, Jimmy. Butler didn't let Kevin. Martin took advantage of it! His reaction speed on the defensive end was so fast that this old "porcelain king" couldn't even get a whistle!

Embarrassed! This is what Henson gave to Kevin at this time. Martin's evaluation.

"That monster!" Brooks was a little anxious, if the "you sing, come and I'll play" cycle with the Pacers at the beginning was expected, then now Kevin. Martin can't lead the team to pull away from the score, just outside of Brooks' plan! Not to mention the inability to score points, Martin will be caught and beaten on the defensive end.

After the Pacers attacked, Butler was still single-handed. But it can be seen that the rest of the Thunder team has become jealous of Butler. Their stickers weren't as tightly guarded as they had just been, and their purpose was to hopefully give Kevin. Martin has a certain help in the defense.

"It's useless." The corners of Henson's mouth curled up slightly, as Butler swept past Martin like the wind.

Sure enough, as Henson thought, Ibaka saw Butler break into the interior line, and immediately rushed over, ready to let this rookie who didn't know the height of the sky taste the power of violent hot pot.

Butler was staring at the basket as he marched, but his wrist flicked! The basketball flew past Ibaka's waist and went straight to Yi Jian's team!

Jimmy. Although Butler is not a playmaker, he can do the most basic passing! Once the Thunder's defense is attracted to Butler, Butler is more than willing to share the ball with his teammates!

Yi Jianlian received the ball and immediately threw a shot. The basketball went into the bag, and the Thunder lost consecutive points.

The starting five Tigers, who are No. 1 in the West, may be able to play a close match with the defending champions and play each other's offensive waves, but what about the second team?

Bench Depth, Scott. Brooks shook his head. The Pacers' bench is like a four-dimensional pocket, bottomless, and Henson is always able to pull something useful out of that "pocket".

From the time of Paul. George to Stephenson, from Leonard in the Eastern Conference Finals last season to Jimmy Smith now. Butler......

Perhaps, this is the most frightening thing about Henson's team.
