The Basketball Court Swordsman

The record for the largest point difference in the playoffs in NBA history is absolutely embarrassing for Chris Paul. Because at the beginning, this record appeared on his New Orleans Hornets.

In the 08-09 season, in the first round of the Western Conference playoffs, the Nuggets faced the Hornets. In the first three games, the Nuggets led by Anthony, who was still a "little melon" at the time, led 2-1. The Nuggets won 27 and 15 points in the two games, and lost 2 points in the losing game. But no one expected that the Hornets led by Paul would completely collapse in the fourth game, losing the game with a shameful score of 63 to 121, and the 58-point difference would tie the biggest playoff point in NBA history. Poor record!

This game can be said to be a stain on Chris Paul's career. Until now, many Chinese fans have used "58" to nickname Paul. I don't know, I thought Paul had scored 58 points in a single game.

However, just after the end of the game on May 8, Chris Paul's team once again created the largest point difference record in the history of the NBA playoffs in the 21st century. Only this time, Paul's team became the winner.

115 to 78, this game became one of the six games with the biggest playoff difference in the 21st century. At the same time, it is also the record for the worst loss in the playoffs in the history of the Chicago Bulls. The Chicago Duke was severely nailed to the pole of shame by the Pacers, and the glory of the 90s has not yet been able to reproduce.

The Chicago Bulls once did everything in the playoffs. Jordan never even played a tie-breaker in the finals. But now, they have been treated in such a brutal way by the Pacers.

In this game, the strength gap between the two sides became clear at a glance. Although the Bulls won the first game with hard work and better form, everyone knew it well. That game is also very likely to be the only victory the Bulls can achieve in this series...

In the next few games, as Henson planned, he didn't want to give Thibodeau any more opportunities and hope. Even though, the next two games will be held at the United Center in Chicago.

"We are indeed full of self-confidence, but not blindly self-confidence." Before the start of the game, Henson calmly accepted interviews with reporters. As a team that has achieved 72 wins in the regular season, it is not too much resistance in the first two rounds of the playoffs, which is actually quite common.

The second round of the playoffs only went to the third game, but the Bulls had basically finished all the bullets. The injury problem has not been alleviated, and Lor Deng continues to be absent due to illness. Although he participated in the team's training, he has not yet played. Because of his illness, he has lost 15 pounds in a short time! Kirk Hinrich, who had played for the Pacers, also failed to come back and sat on the sidelines with Derrick Rose in a suit.

Therefore, injury is the biggest enemy of every athlete and team. Henson is very grateful that he has so many badges to help make the Pacers healthy and healthy until now.

In the last game, the two teams had frequent physical contact, and the two teams had a total of 51 fouls, which was very intense.

But after today's game moved to Chicago, the opening was calm and very strange. The Bulls took the lead, Boozer hit twice, and Belinelli made a three-pointer, making a wave of 7-0. And Henson is not eager to foul the basket, but requires the players to calmly jump shots. After 6 consecutive hits, the Pacers overtook the score 12-10.

Compared to the previous game, the two sides had very little physical contact. The game was not so much smooth, as it was not fierce at all. Perhaps the last game's defeat in Indianapolis caused the Bulls' morale to collapse. They lost the iron defense of the first two games, and also lost that strong perseverance.

Before the start of this year's playoffs, Thibodeau told everyone on the Bulls to be strong. As a result, they successfully killed the Nets in the first round and bit a piece of the defending champion in the second round. But in the end, their strength can only stop here.

Sitting on the sidelines, Derek Rose saw all this in his eyes. He had hoped to make a name in the East. But now, the two mountains of the Heat and the Pacers make Ross seem to see no hope.

The Bulls’ revival dream has not yet begun to be implemented, as if it is over...

George 25 points, Paul 20 points and 13 assists, Horford 18 points, the three teamed up to completely destroy the Bulls, and the total score became 2 to 1. The playoffs are like this, once the collapse begins, it is difficult to stop. Not all teams are like the Pacers, and they can always come back to life.

In the second game in Chicago, Henson used his "death defense" lineup to practice. Of course, only Vogel and Stevens know that Henson sent this lineup completely to warm up for the Miami Heat! Because playing the Chicago Bulls, there is actually no need to send this lineup.

Yes, although the Eastern Conference semifinals only reached the fourth game. But Henson was already thinking about his old rival Heat!

Under the torture of the "death defense", the Bulls, who lacked offensive points, only scored 65 points in the game. Thibodeau's team only shot 25.6% of their field goal percentages throughout the game.

After losing three games in a row and trailing 1 to 3, while the Bulls lost match points at home, 65 points also created the team's record for the lowest scoring in a single game in the playoffs. The 25.6% field goal percentage is also team history. Lowest, the Bulls only scored 9 points in the third quarter, setting the team's lowest scoring record in a single quarter in the playoffs, and made 2 of 17 three-pointers, shooting only 11.8%. It can be described as an out-and-out "Chicago tragedy". ".

88 to 65, 3 to 1, and one foot of the bull has stepped on the edge of the cliff. After the fifth battle, the battlefield will return to the Bankers Life Arena. By that time, even if Lor Deng and others were able to make a comeback, the Bulls were already powerless.

After the game, Henson and Thibodeau finally did not forget to shake hands with each other. The declining expression on Thibodeau's face made Henson not feel proud.

Think two years ago, Thibodeau was very beautiful. Let's look at how declining it is now. Henson didn't dare to taunt Thibodeau, because he was afraid, what if he had such a day? When the time comes, he doesn't want others to mock him.

So far, although the series has not yet ended, this round of the Eastern Conference semifinals can be said to have lost suspense. After the game, on the plane back to Indianapolis, Henson studied the Miami Heat game video.

Victory in the first two rounds is not a victory. If you can't break through the Miami Heat's blockade, then the previous wins will be meaningless!

"Are you so sure that the Miami Heat can break the Knicks' shackles?" With a cup of coffee, Stevens sat next to Henson.

Of course, Stevens prepared this cup of coffee for Henson.

Just yesterday, the New York Knicks led by Anthony resisted stubbornly at home and tied the series to 2-1. The Knicks' performance in the playoffs is remarkable. Anthony's state is very good, and "Little Overlord" Stoudemire also has some meaning of recovery after returning from injury.

Compared to the one-sided Pacers and Bulls, the outcome of the series between the Heat and the Knicks, in fact, still can't give a final conclusion.

"I am sure that the Miami Heat will be the final winner." As everyone knows, Henson answered very simply, "It is not easy for a team to win more than 20 games. This is the playoffs, Brad. 7 The four-win game system minimizes the chances of upsets. Only the stronger team can win. Therefore, we should not take any chances. The next Eastern Conference finals will be very, very difficult for us. !"

Henson remembered the experience of last season and the Heat. James' team should never be underestimated. You know, last season, even if Henson had the bonus of speaking skills, he won the Heat only when Bosh was injured. And this season, the Heat not only got 27 consecutive victories and morale boosted, the lineup is also very healthy. The Knicks can't threaten the Pacers at all, so Henson believes that the New Yorkers can't threaten James either!

The Pacers have risen rapidly since Henson coached in 2010, and the Heat quickly entered the title race after the top three in 2010. It can be said that the Heat and Pacers have defined the highest level in the East in recent years! It is impossible for any team to break this routine.

Hearing Henson used "very, very difficult" to describe this round of the series, Stevens couldn't help feeling a chill on his back. The word difficult, Henson is not easy to say, let alone add two "very" before it.

"So... are you confident?"

After a sip of coffee, Henson looked at Stevens, "Maybe it will take 6 or 7 games, but I think we will be the final winners."

Henson called up the interface to check the words and badges in front of his own eyes. These things have been accumulated until now, and it is time for them to be effective.

Words: Check for missing holes: Reduce player morale by 20, but give him 5 game attribute bonuses.

Words: Motivate the master: reset a player's morale to 100.

Words: Become a superstar: Release the player's peak state early and continue a game.

How to choose between these three words? Should it all be used to deal with the Heat, or to provide insurance for the finals? Should we maintain the current lineup or make a surprise change?

The game with the Miami Heat has already started surging ahead of time...
