Chapter 110 108: Joy on top of joy (26)
He claimed to be doing a lot of rest, but the next day he used a surprise attack to establish an advantage and crush his opponent. Henson's tricks made Rivers dumbfounded. That bastard has no credibility at all.

"Coach Rivers, have you and your players let up because of Henson's remarks about resting the team?"

However, in the face of the question raised by the reporter, Rivers found it difficult to answer.

Say slack?Wouldn't that be calling yourself an idiot?Not to be slack, but the Celtics were suppressed in the second quarter today precisely because they did not have enough vigilance.

"Coach Henson is a person who will do whatever it takes to win, and even lie openly. I am very indignant about this." Rivers had to answer like this.

Instead of "dressing up" Henson as a despicable person, Rivers' answer put the label of not being able to lose on his face.

On the other hand, Henson could still say without blushing when facing the camera: "I did have a rest, but I didn't expect that the rest could gain an advantage, so I temporarily decided to send all the main players to play, and finally won the game."

This makes Rivers' face even more dull, and Henson's ability to talk nonsense to the camera is first-rate.Even if he didn't take a vacation today, people are willing to believe that he really does.

So after this game, the Celtics were criticized, including local fans in Boston who questioned the team.

Even a team of Pacers who are resting can't beat the Celtics. What happened to the Celtics?
When it comes to this kind of problem, the head coach is often the first to take the blame.So the poor champion coach Doug Rivers was once again "honorably" pushed to the forefront because of Henson.

The day after the game, Henson was eating breakfast at home while reading the newspaper happily.The victory over the Celtics reduced the pressure on Henson a lot, and Henson also felt extremely honored to help his "old friend" Rivers into the newspaper.

"Besides coaching ability and vicious eyes, do you know what attracts me most about Henson?" At the same time, in Bird's office, he was also smiling from ear to ear at the newspaper.

"Any other point?" Pritchard echoed casually. He was used to Byrd complimenting Henson in the office.

"It's also because this kid is cunning enough! Ever since the joint trial training last year, I knew that guy is not a good person!"

Byrd was very proud, but at the same time a little heartbroken.It seems that one of the cars in my garage collection will soon no longer belong to me.

After defeating the Celtics, the Pacers, who were in good shape, immediately won the Detroit Pistons easily by just 3 points, ending all the games in March.

At the end of March, the Pacers had a 3-game winning streak, allowing them to secure the top five in the Eastern Conference with a record of 6 wins and 48 losses.This means that Henson's plan has succeeded. As long as the Pacers don't lose all games inexplicably in the last half month, they are destined not to meet the Celtics, Bulls and Heat in the first round.

At the same time, the Orlando Magic are under pressure, because their home court advantage is about to disappear.
Everyone thought that Henson was satisfied with such achievements. After all, the Pacers' goal this season is only to enter the playoffs.However, after entering April, the Pacers' winning streak continued.

On April 4, the Pacers beat the Bucks by 1 points at home, and the team won the longest 6-game winning streak in the season.

4月3日，纵使克里斯.保罗拿下了18分8次助攻的出色数据，但步行者也依然以8分之差击溃了黄蜂。

Rumors about Chris Paul's trade have already spread, and it seems that Vivek's news is still very reliable.

Henson was a little excited when he thought that the top point guard might play under him next season.But at the same time, thinking that some players would leave because of this, Henson dared not continue to delve into fantasy.

Let's talk about the offseason. The first goal now is to play the game well.

108比100，步行者8连胜，50胜25负！
After this game, the Pacers once again achieved 7 wins in a single season after a lapse of 50 years!At the same time, the achievement of the data analysis module was also unlocked, and Henson was rewarded again.

And after this game, the Pacers officially surpassed the Orlando Magic and ranked fourth in the Eastern Conference!If this ranking is maintained until the end of the regular season, the Pacers will have home court advantage in the first-round series against the Magic!

Henson chose a very special reward this time, which is a phrase called "continue shooting".

Its effect is to reset a player's morale to 80 and provide the player with a slight stat boost for the next 5 games.

This seems to be the most complex effect of all the rewards Henson has received, but if Henson needs a surprise soldier, this line may be very useful.

The afternoon after his 50-win win, Henson went to Bird's house to get his first car, as agreed.

In fact, after Henson became the head coach, it was not difficult for him to buy a good car.He takes a taxi to and from get off work every day, which may cost more than buying a car himself.

It's just that Henson thought it was troublesome, so he never picked his own car.

But now that Bird has brought the meat to his mouth, it is impossible for Henson to spit it out.

Bird is a nostalgic person, and most of his garage collections are retro models.But even retro models, there are some cool cars.

Take, for example, the retro sports car Henson picked out, the Jaguar E-Type.

"Boy, you have a good eye. This car has been out of production for a long time, but last year Jaguar accidentally launched 50 brand new 1971 models, so I collected one. Treat her well, this is a rare collection!" Bird stroked the iconic headlights of the car, and that night, Henson flamboyantly drove the retro car home.

Along the way, this car is undoubtedly the focus of people's eyes.In a place like Indianapolis, it's not easy to come across a vintage sports car.

Enjoying the roar of the car and the envious eyes of people, Henson couldn't help grinning.

This kind of retro sports car with great collectible value may not be bought even if you have money, not to mention that Henson hasn't spent any money. Can you be in a bad mood?

However, things that put Henson in a better mood are yet to come.

In the next two regular season games, the Pacers defeated the Wizards and the Eagles respectively, and both games were big victories with a difference of more than 10 points.

This not only means that the Pacers have a better record, but also means that they have achieved the longest 10-game winning streak this season!

"Dare to ask, before the start of the season, who would have thought that Coach Henson could win 10 consecutive victories!? I believe that the majority of people think that he will be dismissed after 10 consecutive losses! However, Coach Henson not only worked to the end as the head coach, but will soon lead the team to play in the playoffs! Playoffs, this is something the Pacers have never done in 4 years!"

"Coach Henson's success proves the feasibility of his tactics. In this era when the entire league lacks super centers, maybe playing fast and short can really become a brand new tactical idea!"

"52 wins! Coach Henson achieved 52 wins in his first NBA season! Larry Bird brought a coach with great personality to Indianapolis, and this coach brought Bird a victory!"

For a while, Henson was almost blown away in the media.And the ten-game winning streak allowed Henson to unlock the achievement again after only 4 days!
This time, among the three optional rewards, Henson immediately fell in love with the "Fitness Plan" badge.

The effect of this badge is very scary. After equipped, the stamina and progress speed of all players on the team can increase by 10%!

Not to mention physical fitness, the improvement speed of all players has increased, which is almost a heaven-defying effect for Henson, because most of the main players in his team are young people with great potential!They can grow faster, which means that the Pacers can also rise faster.

And if this badge is added to the badge effect of improving the player's potential development alone, Henson is overjoyed. He doesn't know how many powerful badges he has not unlocked.If there are more of these, let alone 52 wins next season, maybe 62 wins can be achieved!

Of course, Henson isn't overwhelmed by the success of the moment.After a wave of ten consecutive victories, Henson really started to take turns.He needs all players to have sufficient physical fitness to deal with the playoffs, and to advance in the playoffs is Henson's goal!

On April 4, the last round of the regular season, the Pacers' opponent happened to be their opponent in the first round of the playoffs, the Orlando Magic.

Naturally, the Magic also had a rest, but I don't know if it was to give the Pacers a bad impression, the players of the Magic team played very fiercely.Howard scored 30 points, 13 rebounds and 13 blocks in less than 4 minutes of playing time.

In the end, the Magic slaughtered the Pacers with a score of 99 to 72 at home, giving Henson a warning.

Although "sent" the Magic a victory, in the end, the Pacers' record of 55 wins still beat the Magic's 52 wins, ranking fourth in the Eastern Conference.

Henson doesn't care about the result of this game, he only knows that the home court advantage is now firmly in his hands
