The Basketball Court Swordsman

Nothing in this world is sustainable, and the Pacers’ winning streak is no exception.

On February 8, 2013, at Bankers Life Arena, the Indiana Pacers won the second-longest 25-game winning streak in NBA history and ranked first in the league with 47 wins and 3 losses. Finally, yes. , Is finally lost.

However, no one thought of the team that ended this great record.

"I can't believe that the Pacers' 25-game winning streak will be ended by the Toronto Raptors. There are various opinions on who can end the Pacers. But I can guarantee that there is no one. The Toronto Raptors will be included in this list." In the stands, Reggie Miller shook his head slightly to see how ecstatic the Raptors coach Dwyane Casey looked. It is estimated that he was already ready. Indianapolis' determination to fight to death, but unexpectedly, he inadvertently interrupted one of the league's greatest records.

98 to 100, the Raptors relied on the good performance of Gay and DeRozan to drag the game to the end. At the last moment, God did not care for the walkers.

Henson set up a lore tactic for Paul, and the tactic was executed, but Paul failed at the end. As a result, 98 to 100, the Pacers were only two points away, and were a big upset.

At the end of the game, the Pacers players unabashedly showed disappointment. Henson stood on the sidelines in a daze, but his face was not disappointed, there was nothing. Expressionless, this is the only picture other people can capture.

"It's no big deal, Henson. It's just a loss, just a loss in the regular season." Vogel stepped up and patted Henson on the shoulder.

"Yes, 25 consecutive victories, this is already very remarkable!" Stevens also came up to agree.

These two people are too aware of Henson's temper. The Pacers' winning streak has been broken by such an incompetent team as the Raptors. This Chinese coach must have erupted in his heart. Well, Vogel is already worried about the safety of the locker.

"It's alright," Henson waved his hand and walked towards the player tunnel. "Do I look angry?"

Vogel and Stevens looked at each other and scratched their heads.

"Coach Henson, how do you evaluate this unexpected loss!"

"Do you feel ashamed to be interrupted by the Toronto Raptors?"

"How do you evaluate the performance of your players today? Do you think it was too proud that caused the team to lose?"

As expected by Henson, the press conference after the game was quite lively.

Can it be fun? These **** reporters looked forward to the stars and the moon, and finally looked forward to the day when the Pacers lost. For this day, they don’t know how many prayers to God every 24 hours. And finally, this day has arrived.

Henson looked at the reporters chatting below, his eyes full of indifference, as if he was watching a group of clowns with poor acting skills.

Indeed, consecutive victories are certainly worthy of joy. But behind this, it is not all good. The historical record of winning streak will invisibly make the players' psychological pressure more and more heavier. Before each game, they are not thinking about "how to win", but "absolutely not to lose."

It's just one or two games with this kind of thought, but it helps them wield their strength. But this is the case every game, but it will lead to a mental breakdown of the team. The fatigue of the players during the season not only refers to physical exhaustion, but also mental exhaustion.

The 19 turnovers against the Pistons were already a fuse. Although Henson can occasionally use pre-match speeches to temporarily get rid of such emotions for the players, but no matter how impassioned speeches are, they will inevitably fail.

? The winning streak was interrupted, and Henson was naturally unhappy. But is there any way? He used all the strategies and the players played well. The game is over, the electronic buzzer at the end, you can't even hear the echo at this moment. What's the use of Henson's regeneration?

Moreover, Henson was not angry yet. Isn't he always worried that the players will be over-stressed after the winning streak, leading to collapse? Well now, he lost!

The noise in the media reception room gradually subsided when the reporters discovered that Henson hadn't gnawed for a long time.

"Finally, you finally figured it out. I was the one who should speak. For a moment, I thought I had walked into the high school classroom." Henson smiled and satirized a wave of reporters who just twittered. the behavior of.

"As for you guys, what do I think about this defeat? I was so uncomfortable, I almost suffocated to death the moment I lost. I was hit, I even wanted to give up my career... Hahahahahahahaha, am I an idiot? This is just a loss, an ordinary defeat. We won 25 consecutive victories. We are the team with the most consecutive wins in league history, except for the Los Angeles Lakers. Our current record is 47 wins and 4 losses, first in the league! The second Spurs in the league have lost a full 7 games more than us! So the problem is coming? What reason do you have to think that I will lose because of this game. Feeling disappointed and angry?"

Henson finished with a smug smile on his face. The reporters were all speechless, yes, they were all going to watch Henson's jokes. But even if they lose this game, the Pacers are indeed the best team in the league...

Seeing that the reporters couldn't hold back a word for a long time, Henson stood up and prepared to leave, "Presumably, everyone has already got the answer. This is my opinion on this game. Then, goodbye everyone."

Henson tidied his collar, then turned away happily.

It's just a failure, just a right failure.

After returning to the locker room, the players bowed their heads one by one, expecting to be scolded by Henson. Vogel has even contacted the maintenance workers. He estimated that the cabinets in the locker room would suffer today.

However, when Henson walked in, he didn't swear or hammer the locker, but looked around in confusion.

"I said, when did you become so deep?"

"We...I'm sorry, boss." As a player leader, Paul should be the first to speak at this time. What's more, it is precisely because of his last blow that he missed the Pacers today. The team won the game, "We should have done better."

Henson waved his hand, "Okay guys, there has never been a team that doesn't lose. At this time, it is better for us to lose than at the most critical moment. So, don't think about the game. With The Toronto Raptors game is over, and it’s not a big deal to get it back in the next game! Come here today and go home to rest."

The players raised their heads in surprise, Vogel smiled and shook his head, and sent a text message to Bird, "Okay, no need to call a maintenance man."

"The 25-game winning streak was ended, the Pacers' morale is low!"

"Super unpopular! The Raptors have become the terminator of history!"

"Chris Paul: Disappointed at the final attack of the game."

The day after the game with the Raptors ended, the media was overwhelmed with news of the Pacers losing. I don't know how many people cheered because of this incident.

It turns out that no matter how amazing Henson Joe is, he is also a mortal! No matter how smart this Chinese coach is, he will fail.

Faced with the overwhelming shouts from the media, Henson was very calm. He did not curse reporters in an interview, nor did he justify the team with cynicism.

Not to mention Henson, not even the Pacers players did that.

? Everyone thinks Henson's silence is fear, and the Pacers players' refusal to speak is a sign of weakness. Everyone believes that this interrupted 25-game winning streak will bring the Pacers to the bottom. But in fact, they are just accumulating strength for future games.

Henson was not angry, of course, not because of fear, nor how broad-minded he was. But facts have proved that this defeat did not have any serious impact on the Pacers.

After the game with the Raptors ended, Henson finally achieved the achievement of "breaking the league winning streak" and got a chance to choose a reward.

In this juncture, maintaining the morale of the team is naturally the most important. So Henson chose a morale-boosting technique and immediately used it in the next day's training.

So, when everyone thought that the Pacers would continue to sink because of depression...

On February 11th, the penultimate game of the former Pacers began on the All-Star weekend. The Pacers, who had just lost their winning streak, started low-key.

?New York, Brooklyn, this place is not unfamiliar to Henson or the players. That big victory at the Barclays Center has not been long since.

? And today, let go of the burden of winning streak, and hope to re-prove the Pacers in front of the media who chew their tongues, with a score of 104 to 89, the home team beat the home team helpless.

The Pacers' offense like flowing water made the Nets helpless. Low morale? The morale of the Nets is about the same.

? Henson, who won the ball, finally "showed his true shape" at the press conference after the game.

With just one sentence, Henson made all the media in the room gritted his teeth, "Everyone, are you slapped today?"

??? Henson doesn't care how the outside world will scold him, he only knows that the only way to fight back is to continue to win! Continue to win and prove that the Pacers are still the best team in the league.

On February 13, the last game before the start of the All-Star Weekend. At home, facing the New Orleans Hornets, facing Holiday, Granger and Anthony Davis, the Pacers won 101 to 77, doing their best as a landlord.

Paul George is still strong, Chris Paul's control is still stable, and the Pacers' victory is still going on.

Yes, nothing has changed. The Pacers' dominance will not be shaken by a loss.

So far, the Pacers have achieved a terrifying score of 49 wins and 4 losses when the All-Star Game arrives!

And what makes Henson most delighted is that those **** media finally learned to shut up.

"Now, you can spend an All-Star weekend in peace." Sitting on the plane to Houston, Henson closed his eyes peacefully.
