The Basketball Court Swordsman

Since the Pacers played a 7-0 offensive, McHale has never touched the bench. After contending with the Pacers for a quarter and a half, the Houston Rockets seemed to run out of fuel and began to fall.

At the end of the half-time game, the Rockets went from evenly matched at the beginning to 11 points behind. Harden broke into Henson's defensive trap time and time again, and the Pacers used the opponent's missed shots to make several beautiful counterattacks.

During the intermission, Sager found McHale. In fact, he wanted to talk to Henson, but interviewing Henson throughout the game did not seem very good. Therefore, Sager "reluctantly" walked in front of Sager.

Facing the camera, McHale, the former Celtic fame, still took hold, still looking calm and composed. But in fact, the "refrigerator" was already panicked at this time.

"Our offense has encountered some troubles and some unnecessary mistakes. But this situation cannot last the entire game. In the second half, we will make a comeback." McHale nodded gently, looking calm, not knowing that he thought he was ahead. The 11 points are the Rockets.

"In other words, you think the team still has a chance to win, right?" Sager asked.

"Of course, we just took a nap, and when we woke up, that's when the game was back on track." McHale finished speaking and hurriedly turned to leave. His impatient pace has betrayed his heart.

Byrd, sitting in the luxurious box, heard McHale's answer and laughed.

"McHale used to be forced, but do you know the difference between me and him?" Byrd took a cigar and turned to look at Pritchard.

"What's the difference?"

"The difference is that I can always round out my pretended forcing action, but he can't!"

After returning to the locker room, Henson did not talk nonsense, waiting for the players to rest for a few minutes, then arranged the strategy for the second half of the game. The process from 0 to 1 may be difficult, but as long as you find a breakthrough, from 1 to 2, from 2 to 3, it is very fast.

After finding a way to defend Harden, Henson was able to quickly make many variant strategies based on this method. And these are enough for the Rockets to drink a pot in the second half.

McHale always underestimated Henson. He thought that no one could deal with Harden with full firepower. But he seems to have forgotten that the Chinese coach is a role that convinces Bird, the "force king".

After the start of the second half, McHale stood on the sidelines from the beginning, and the composure in the first half was completely gone.

Facing the front of Yima Pingchuan, Harden's breakthrough was somewhat hesitant. Seeing this scene, Henson, don't talk too much! The opposing star hesitates on the offensive end, indicating that he lacks confidence in this attack!

Now it's George who puts Harden to jump, he doesn't dare to jump!

As a result, Harden "threw the pot" to Jeremy Lin. Jeremy Lin and Asik played the pick and roll and reached the inside lane.

However, David West's timely protection of the frame caused Jeremy Lin, who was slightly weaker in confrontation ability, to miss a layup. The layup in confrontation has always been a weak link in Jeremy Lin's ability.

Since then, the Pacers' offensive strategy has also changed. Henson re-takes Leonard, and now it's David West's "assassination time".

As soon as West came up, he put a cover on Paul, forcing the formation of dislocation. Everyone thought that Paul was going to attack Morris in a small attack, but he did not know that Paul gave a slight hang. Henson's real purpose was to let West beat Harden!

"Accurately find the dislocation, beat him back, consume him!" This is what Henson said to the players in the locker room five minutes ago.

So West pushed hard against Harden twice. The Rockets dare not double-team at all, after all, West's passing ability is not weak at all.

How can I stand it here? Harden retreated steadily, letting West easily arch into the three-second zone, and ended the fight with a small hook.

West played easily, but Harden expended twice as much energy in this defense. Byrd shook his head, McHale was really over.

When Harden could no longer find a foul, could not easily break through and could no longer get a chance outside the three-point line, McHale exposed their tactical unity.

After the head star was locked, the Rockets were at a loss.

Not only defending Harden, Henson also moved McHale's brains on the rotation. Isn't the Rockets rotating with 8 players? Then Henson took George ahead of time, and when Harden left the field to rest, he sent George and Ray Allen in to beat the Rockets as substitutes!

Throughout the second half, the Houston Rockets seemed to be exposed. They can beat the defending champion in half a game, but it's only half a game. This is why the Pacers are now 25 wins and 3 losses, while the Rockets are 14 wins and 12 losses.

At the end of the third quarter, Chandler Parsons suddenly showed off and succeeded in consecutive singles. But helpless, the Rockets have gone. After the third quarter, he was still 12 points behind.

In the fourth quarter, Harden was exhausted. The offensive end has to be consumed by defensive traps, and the defensive end has to be consumed by West. Exhausted, he began to look for easy scoring opportunities outside the three-point line. However, fatigue also caused Harden's shooting rate to plummet.

The camera scans McHale from time to time, and the "refrigerator" covers his head with his hands most of the time. Maybe this guy is thinking about how to deal with reporters' questions later.

McHale said that the Rockets just took a nap, but Henson let the Houstonians sleep forever!

When the game was about to end with half a quarter, the Rockets looked discouraged. Their offense is lazy, and their defense is full of holes. In the dead-goal stage, T.NT TV station selected George, who scored 25 points and 6 rebounds, as the best player of the game. But everyone knows that the best game today is Henson, who is very timely dispatching.

"James Harden seems to have returned half a year ago. He is completely lost. He doesn't know whether to break or shoot. After the breakthrough, he doesn't know whether to shoot or pass. James made 9 turnovers in the game and it was Baichen. Thanks to coach Sen’s defensive trap. At least 10 times, Harden didn’t know how to pass the ball after breaking in." Kenny Smith shook his head, James Harden, who was a headache for the league, was the only one in Indianabo. Liss can't perform decently.

Pacers fans have already sang a hymn for Henson in the stands, from the confusion in the first quarter to the double-teaming failure and finally finding a breakthrough and slamming. Henson's on-the-spot scheduling ability was fully demonstrated through this Christmas battle.

In the end, the Rockets lost 97 to 120 in Indianapolis...yes, 97 to 120!

The Rockets' weak defense allowed the Pacers to score 120 points in 48 minutes. The Pacers' defense prevented the offensive Rockets from not even getting triple-digit points.

Harden scored 24 points, 4 assists and 3 rebounds in the game. It looked like it was the same as usual. But as long as you have watched the game, it is clear that the difference is big.

Throughout the game, Harden only scored one three-pointer and made 1 of 6 three-pointers. In addition, there were 9 turnovers. The number of turnovers made by him alone is equal to that of the Pacers.

In contrast to the Pacers, four of the team scored 20 and five scored in double figures. Henson played a masterpiece of his career this Christmas Eve.

The walker is like a rock. No matter how wildly the rocket bombs or Harden touches the porcelain, there is no way to make a crack in this rock. ?

At the end of the game, McHale walked away with a black face. He knew very well that if he stayed, he would only be surrounded by embarrassing questions. Once again, McHale failed to pretend to be round.

On the other hand, Henson has become a star that has attracted much attention.

"Snooze? That's what McHale really said during the half game? No, of course it's impossible. The Rockets can't doze off. I took off their panties. How can they sleep in such cold weather? Got it."

Henson finished laughing, took An Jiali's hand, and walked into the player tunnel. Victory and Beauty, Henson is all in the bag.

Sager smiled and shook his head, Henson once again succeeded in surviving. On the road to defending the Pacers, Sager seems to see no one who can stop them, except themselves...
