The Basketball Court Swordsman

When Henson woke up the next day, the harsh sunlight had illuminated the room through the curtains. He immediately looked at the alarm clock on the bedside table. It was already 8:30 in the morning.

After dinner yesterday, Henson and Christine went to the bar for a few drinks. Finally, the female reporter was sent downstairs to the hotel before Henson left.

So by the time Henson returned to his home, it was already two o'clock in the morning. Fortunately, since the game just finished yesterday, the team does not need to train this morning.

When training every day, the head coach can be the last one to arrive, but he must not be late. If even the head coach is late for no reason, what would the players think about getting up early and greedy for the dark?

But the team did not practice this morning, and Henson did not have to worry about being late. With his hands under his head, he recalled the happy time he spent with Christine last night.

It can only be said that Christine is not as shy as Henson was when he first met her. On the contrary, this girl is good at chatting, and doesn't mind making innocent jokes with Henson. So whether it was during dinner or later in the bar, the two were very talkative.

Henson even thinks that if she wants to, she even has the potential to become a basketball host. Many basketball shows now need a beautiful host to attract attention? There is no doubt that Christine is a perfect candidate.

Beauty, knowing the ball and humor, Christine meets these three conditions at the same time. Hmm...Speaking of which, An Jiali is also quite qualified, I am afraid that Vivek will be very worried when seeing his daughter go to work in the TV station and directly buy shares...

Of course, last night Henson and Christine also confirmed the time of the interview. They agreed that on April 26, the last day of the NBA regular season, Christine will take the photographer to Indian Presspolis for an exclusive interview with Henson.

Since the Pacers' last regular season game was over on April 25, an interview on the 26th was just enough to catch up with the heat of the playoffs without disturbing Henson's lead. So for this time, both parties are very satisfied.

At this moment, Henson yelled from the cell phone next to the pillow. He picked it up and saw that Christine had sent himself a text message.

"Are you awake? I have already left Indian Presspolis, I hope the Pacers will become No. 1 in the East by the next interview~"

Henson smiled, then immediately lifted the quilt, got up and got out of bed.

Yes, the short good time is over. Next, it is time to continue striving towards the goal of No. 1 in the East!

The intensity of the game in the shortened season may make fans and capitalists hooked. But for the team, this is undoubtedly a very painful season.

Among other things, just look at the long list of injuries and you know how much the coaches hate this **** regular season schedule.

Henson’s team is no exception. Just stepping into the training ground, Henson was immediately wrapped up by his busy work, and instantly forgot the rare leisure time last night. Fortunately, with the blessing of the badge, the Pacers have miraculously encountered no injury problems throughout the season. Otherwise, the number one in the east is simply a dream.

Henson really hopes that there will be no such thing as a shutdown in the future, although it is the alliance and the capitalists who lose money. But in the end, it was the players and coaches themselves who made up for the losses.

With only one day off after the game with the Heat, the Pacers must usher in a four-day, three-game schedule. This is good for Henson, after all, the Pacers have experienced three rounds of back-to-back fighting this season. 3 battles in 4 days, it is almost the alliance's mercy.

But what makes Henson a little puzzled is why the league always likes to arrange such a continuous battle in different cities. In this regard, Henson couldn't help but "greet" the name of the president of the alliance David Stern. However, Henson really wronged Mr. Stern this time, because the schedule of each season of the NBA is completed by one of the league executives, Matt Winnick, and he really has nothing to do with Stern. .

And this complicated and tiring work has to be done by Winnick alone! Although I don’t know if Winnick’s remarks are a joke or a factual statement, at least one thing is certain. When the league told him to schedule 66 games in such a short period of time, Winnick also had MMP in his heart. Therefore, he vented all his dissatisfaction on the schedule...

On the 28th and 29th, the Pacers will play against the Nets in Indian Presspolis, and then fly to Washington DC to face the Wizards. After a day off, the Pacers will immediately fly to San Antonio to fight the Spurs.

Of course, the matter is far from over. In the last 4 days of March, the Pacers did 3 games in 4 days. But if you count April, the Pacers will have 4 battles in 5 days!

Because on the last day of March, after the Pacers played the away game in San Antonio, they immediately turned around and headed straight to Houston, and played away against the Rockets on the first day of April!

The two rounds were back to back, with only one day's breathing time in between. Among them, the last two games were against two strong Western teams! Although San Antonio and Houston are both in Texas, they are not far apart. But even so, this schedule is boring enough.

The road to No. 1 in the east is really full of thorns.

On the 28th, the Pacers took the Nets 100 to 85 at home and did not capsize. On the 29th, corn yellow ravaged Washington, DC, and the Pacers defeated the Wizards 103 to 89.

Although fighting back-to-back, the Pacers did not let the accident happen in the face of two teams that were not ranked in the East. If you want to catch up with the Chicago Bulls, which are invincible in the regular season, Henson must not lose this game that should be won.

However, due to the low quality of the opponents in these two games, the two games together allowed Henson to get 100 experience points... You know, for a game against the Heat, Henson gained 150 experience points. what.

Seeing that the amount of experience required for the next upgrade rose to 1,500, Henson suddenly felt that he was unlovable. I originally wanted to collect as many rewards as possible before the start of the playoffs, but now it seems that it is difficult for me to upgrade again before the start of the playoffs.

On the last day of March, the Pacers flew to San Antonio to face the Spurs for the first time this season. Henson expected this strong opponent to give himself experience, but the Pacers lost the game by 9 points, ending the four-game winning streak...

I have to say that No. 1 in the West is not so easy to mess with. The three "old men" Parker, Duncan and Ginobili joined forces to score 59 points, making it difficult for the Pacers to resist.

Under the leadership of "Vicchi" and "Basic Skills", Henson felt that it was so difficult to control the rhythm of the game for the first time.

The Spurs are like this, they look tepid, but after the actual match, they know how good they are. But losing to a strong enemy like the Spurs, Henson is not unacceptable. Although the Pacers' current goal is to be No. 1 in the Eastern Conference, Henson never thought that he would be able to play the final game with a complete victory.

At this point, the games in March are all over, and there is less than a month of fierce fighting left in the regular season. At the last moment, whether it is a team that is struggling on the edge of the playoffs or a team that wants to work hard to improve the ranking, it will undoubtedly work very hard. Because I missed the last dozen games, I have to wait for the next season.

At this time, the teams that linger on the edge of the playoffs will burst out with stronger strength. Anyway, his goal is the playoffs, so he doesn't care about physical problems. As long as you can do your best to reach the top eight, you will be able to complete your goal! As for how to play after the playoffs, they don't even think about it.

Just like in a football game, at the end of the season, those teams that are eager to relegation will play better and work harder. The higher-ranked teams need to consider more things, and this kind of team only needs to consider how to play their lives.

Therefore, this kind of team that is bound to die in the last month is undoubtedly the most feared encounter for a team like Henson who is eager for a steady rise.

Unfortunately, the next opponent of the Pacers, the Houston Rockets, happens to be a difficult opponent who is hovering on the edge of the playoffs and ready to fight everyone.

Thinking of this, Henson on the plane couldn't help holding his head in distress. This trip to Texas has already begun with a failure, and I am afraid that the journey later will not be too easy.
