The Basketball Court Swordsman

The fierce match between the Heat and the Pacers did not disappoint the expectations of the fans. The Pacers want to get the 22nd game winning streak. In the first quarter of the game, James, Wade and Bosh showed their good state, especially James, three-pointers, breakthroughs, assists, rebounds and defense, it can be said that they are all proficient.

After Kobe was old and Howard was completely lost in Los Angeles, he said that James was the first player in the active league, there was no problem at all. James alone can represent a tactic, and the name of the tactic is "Give the Ball to James".

? Henson admitted that James can indeed defeat a team by his own strength, but he can guarantee that this team will not be his Indiana Pacers!

Other teams may be led by James' terrifying offensive power, but Henson will not do it. To solve the crisis brought by James, besides crazily accumulating defenders on the inside, there are other ways...

? After the start of the second quarter, the Heat's perimeter defense continued to be tough. At this time, whether it was Paul, George, and Green who started the game, or Stephenson, Ray Allen and Leonard who came off the bench, there was no easy way to score.

Compared to the first quarter, the Heat's defense in the second quarter is even rougher. The result of this is that the Heat started to foul more than before, and the technical foul Bosh got because of yelling at the referee was enough to represent the intensity of the game! At the same time, it also added a lot of gunpowder to the game.

The smell of gunpowder between the two sides is getting stronger and stronger, so the duel between the Heat and the Pacers, even without the 22-game winning streak, can be extremely fierce.

Of course, don’t think that the Heat’s more fouls will give the Pacers a chance. In fact, when the Heat increase their physical strength, both sides will be affected. The Heat have a strong confrontation. As a player, are you willing to suffer?

Therefore, the Pacers' defensive action is getting bigger and bigger, and Wade and James took advantage of this opportunity and won several free throw opportunities.

When the game progressed to the end of the second quarter with just over three minutes left, Battier and West even both got technical fouls because of their flops. The referee's whistle kept ringing, and the scene was once chaotic.

But this is exactly what the Heat want to see. The Pacers can't organize an efficient counterattack and can't get the score close!

At the end of the second quarter, James won in chaos and hit a three-pointer at the buzzer, piercing the Pacers' heart.

This is the second three-pointer made by James in this game, as well as his second three-pointer. Once an athlete of this level has a good feel, there is no weakness at all.

53 to 47, after three technical foul calls, the Miami Heat still retained their advantage.

When interviewed by the midfielder, the reporter's question was still stupid in Henson's view, "Why should I worry that the team won't win 22 consecutive victories? If we don't win 22 consecutive victories, will we suddenly change from first in the league to bottom in the league? !? Besides, the game only played halftime. If the Heat can lead us at halftime, can't we lead the Heat at halftime?"

Henson glared at the eSPN sideline reporter in disgust. Had he not seen that the other party was a little girl, he would have already turned on the "swear word mode".

?? Henson does not want to think about things in the first half, nor does he want to make a summary early. The game hasn't been finished yet, what kind of knot is there?

Intermission is a good time.

? Indeed, Henson admitted that the Heat won the first half. But Henson had already considered his strategy in the second half!

After returning to the locker room, Henson saw the players panting. There is no doubt that the Heat's strong confrontation in the first half of the game gave the Pacers a lot of pressure.

But it doesn't matter, Henson is very relieved of the team's physical reserves. What's more, fighting against this kind of thing is mutual, the Pacers are tired, and the Heat are not much better.

After the players gasped for a minute or two, Henson tapped the big white board in the locker room with a marker. This is Henson's habit all the time. He likes to let the players rest for a few minutes and then talk about tactics. Because if you hurriedly talk about tactics when the players are particularly exhausted, the players will not listen.

"In the first half of the game, what did you think of the Heat's performance? Was it as good as the media boasted?" Henson did not rush to draw tactics, but opened the conversation like a chat.

"Better than the media said, boss. But rest assured, we can get the game in the second half." Paul, as the player leader, is usually the first to answer Henson's questions.

"Well, indeed. James' three-pointer, Wade's breakthrough, Bosh's shooting and their tight outside defense, these are indeed very good. But one thing, their inside defense is really spicy!" Henson As he said, he bit open the marker. Everyone is listening attentively, the point is coming!

"Because of the first half of the game, the Heat's perimeter defense was very tight and did not give us too many opportunities to cut in and break through. Therefore, this also concealed the fact that their interior defense was weak. So at the beginning of the second half, David, Al, I want you to sit directly in and attack the inside!"

As Henson said, he drew two crosses on the whiteboard. These two large crosses happened to represent West and Horford!

This season, the Pacers’ first scorer is Paul George and the second scorer is Chris Paul. In addition to these two guys, Ray Allen, Stephenson, Leonard, Danny Green and even Jimmy Butler have all played well offensively.

After all, the Pacers' talent pool on the outside is too rich and rich, so rich that the coaches of the other 29 teams are jealous.

Therefore, it is not an exaggeration to say that the Pacers are an offensive-oriented team. After all, in a system that emphasizes quick counterattacks, it's impossible for big players to get too many opportunities.

The fact is also true. So far this season, the statistics of David West and Al Horford are not too good.

West averaged only 12 points per game this season, the lowest since the 04-05 season. And Horford, as an All-Star insider, averaging less than 14 points per game is really not good.

In most games, West and Horford's points are assisted. When unable to open the situation, Henson likes to let West's low singles "break the ice". Horford, more often than not, operates as an anti-aircraft turret, and has a handful of low singles.

Because of Henson's tactical requirements and system reasons, Horford and West two All-Star insiders sacrificed their data. But in this regard, the two have no complaints and still serve the team wholeheartedly.

But today, Henson does not plan to let these two All-Star level insiders hold back. He wants to liberate them completely, use the inside as the main offensive point, to tear the Heat's inside defense that is better than nothing!

Let fans all over the world take a good look. Sometimes, the average per game data does not explain the true strength of a player!

Sit directly inside and attack the basket. Spoelstra put all the defensive focus on the outside, then Henson skipped the outside and directly attacked the heart of the Heat!

Horford and West flexed their hands and nodded slightly. God knows how long these two guys have been waiting for this moment.

"In the first half of the game, the Heat played the high level they deserve, both on offensive and defensive ends! Although the Heat won, it is likely to prevent the birth of a league record. But even so, the Heat The team’s performance is worthy of such a victory!"

Before the start of the second half, most commentators believed that the Pacers’ winning streak was about to end due to the heat’s excellence.

But just 30 seconds later, the commentators who had just yelled "The Pacers are finished" all shut up, because Al Horford dunked with a beautiful two hands to humiliate Bosh!

"Hahahaha, don't think that the defending champion can be defeated so easily. Coach Henson has some tricks. No, it seems that the Pacers are planning to attack the inside in the second half!" Mike Brin laughed, he was. Just one of the few commentaries that didn't look down on Pacers.

When everyone thought that Paul was going to play the pick-and-roll again, he directly fed the ball to Horford, who was about to live.

But even so, the Heat did not give Horford enough attention. They thought Horford was sitting in a low position to support him.

The intention of all Heat players is to block the pass, including Bosh. Therefore, Horford could feel that the pressure coming from behind was not great.

So Horford turned back with his flexible footsteps and passed Bosh, who was like a stake, and walked into the basket to dunk with both hands.

Until the moment when the rim made a loud noise, everyone on the Heat didn't seem to react.

What's the matter? Paul, George and Green do not attack, let Horford attack?

"See? It's easy." Seeing Horford score easily, Henson smiled slightly and sat back on the bench.

The performance time of Spoelstra and LeBron James is over!

Attack against attack, this is Henson's way of dealing with James today. He wants to see if it is James' high efficiency or the efficiency of his two All-Star insiders!

If you start to fear a player and limit him at all costs. Well, this team has actually lost more than half. ?

Henson knew this truth well, so he didn't spend much time on James, but tried to solve his own problems.

But Spoelstra can not necessarily think of this level. Will he change his strategy in order to limit West and Horford?

Henson is confident, he is already putting on Spoelstra...
