116 Chapter 114: Use or not
The Magic lost to the Pacers, and it was still a nearly crushing score of 4 to 1.

Undoubtedly, such a result shocked the whole world.Except, of course, Indianapolis.

"I have known for a long time that Henson can lead the team to advance, maybe next season, everyone will be wary of your O'Brien Cup!"

"Everyone has seen Henson Joe's achievements this year. I know he has been questioned, but you must admit that he is excellent."

"Coach Henson has brought a whole new energy to Indianapolis, and he will be another important basketball figure in Indianapolis!"

Facing reporters' street interviews, Pacers fans all expressed their love for Henson.

Indianapolis is a magical city, which gave birth to Michael Jackson, Larry Bird and other legends.

And people seem to believe that Henson Joe will be the next big name!

While the people of Indianapolis were still cheering, far away in Chicago, at the United Center, the fans shouted "MVP" to No. 1 standing at the free throw line!
"Listen to the sound of the scene and see Derrick Rose's performance! We seem to have returned to the era when we had Michael Jordan!"

The Bulls shouted excitedly with the team commentator. At the same time, Rose made a free throw, and the MVP's shouting instantly turned into a flood of cheers.

比赛还剩下2分钟结束，费城76人15分落后。而此时，系列赛总比分已经来到了3比1。如果76人无法在接下来的2分钟内翻盘，他们就要回家了。

Clearly, Rose doesn't intend to give the 76ers a break.He continued to attack the inside and continued to cause damage.No one could believe that Rose played with an injury today.

Of course, the Bulls' ability to achieve such a large lead is not due to Rose alone.

"British Jordan" Luol Deng has scored 24 points, and Noah has 14 points.The Bulls made 14 three-pointers, and 6 scored in double figures!
Thibodeau has been improving the Bulls' offense since losing to Henson at critical moments in the regular season due to offensive disadvantages.Now, people finally see the effectiveness of the Bulls on the offensive end.

As the minutes passed, the fans in the United Center all stood up.The guards are on standby, for fear that the fans will rush into the stadium.

"Beep!" The buzzer sounded, and a red light glowed on the backboard.

At that moment, the United Center was shaken!Derrick Rose stood on the field and slightly pointed to the stands with his hand.He can make an earthquake in Chicago by moving his fingers casually!
At this time, there was only one thought in people's minds: "Michael Jordan is back! The legend of the Red Bull will begin again!"

Countless reporters flocked to Rose, and his young and determined face appeared on the TV screens of all fans around the world, including Henson.

"Derek, congratulations on leading the team to the Western Conference semifinals! In the next round against the Indiana Pacers, do you think your progress can continue?"

Ross, with his hips akimbo, looks at the camera.He didn't say much, but expressed his point of view very clearly.

"Our goal is the championship!"

Rose grimly replied, causing the Bulls fans to ejaculate.

"Another high-spirited guy." Henson smiled, remembering that a few days ago, Howard also said that their goal is the championship.

However, Ross is indeed more qualified to say such a thing.As far as Henson's judgment standard is concerned, the Chicago Bulls and Orlando Magic this season are not at the same level of team at all.

The Bulls are indeed evenly matched with the Pacers. During the regular season, Henson and Thibodeau played against each other four times, and both sides won two games each.

If you want Henson to comment, Rose said that his goal is the championship, which is quite reliable.

The Eastern Conference semifinals, this is no longer the scope of Henson's consideration, because the Pacers have exceeded their goals this season.

This lineup of the Pacers is not prepared to reach the Eastern Conference Finals or the Finals. The task of this lineup is the playoffs, that is, to play the first round.

If the Pacers want to continue to advance, it is as unrealistic as a person who only gives you 100 yuan and asks you to buy a building.

But Henson has no intention of giving up the Eastern Conference semifinals directly. Maybe with the "100 yuan" in his hand, he can play four or two thousand pounds.

After all, he also has a script that resets the player's morale to 80 and provides the player with a low-level attribute enhancement for 5 games.
If you use this card well and create a surprise player for the Pacers, such as George or Stephenson, then the Pacers will not necessarily lose.

What Henson is struggling with now is whether to use this script or not.Due to the randomness of the rewards of the data analysis module, it is not certain that you will get any rewards you want.

Therefore, Henson may not be able to draw a "plug-in" like this kind of effect that is a bit against the sky but can only be used once.

If he uses this phrase in the Eastern Conference semifinals, he will reach the Eastern Conference finals.But when they met the Heat in the Eastern Conference finals, the Pacers were also in bad luck.

The chances of them reaching the finals are slim, because the Pacers' lineup this season was not built for the finals, they are just a playoff team.

Consuming a very precious reward ultimately only allows the team to play one more round. Henson needs to consider whether such sacrifices are equal to the rewards.

Maybe you can wait until later, when the Pacers are stronger, and use this trick to fight for a championship?

Thinking of Chris Paul and Leonard who may join the team this summer, Henson seems to have made up his mind.

※※※

On the training ground the next day, Henson was very pleased to see that the players had shaken off the joy of defeating the Magic and devoted themselves wholeheartedly to preparing for the battle with the Bulls.

In fact, it was also Henson's unsmiling attitude today that affected the players.

Most of the players in the Pacers team are currently selected by Henson himself.Like Stephenson and Matthews, it is because of Henson that they can eat this bowl of rice in the NBA.Players like Granger and Horford who were not selected by Henson also performed well because of Henson's tactical arrangements.

Therefore, Henson's control over the team is extremely firm.A coach who can get along well with everyone off the court and allow players to play to their strengths on the court without feeling aggrieved and win the game by the way will easily be recognized and respected by the players.

This season, Henson has done well in these areas.So even though he is only 31 years old, even though he is just a rookie coach.But as long as Henson makes an expression, the players know what to do.Just like now, no one dares to slack off training when Henson is serious.

"Derrick Rose, what a headache. There are indications that that guy is about to become the youngest MVP in NBA history." Frank Vogel smiled bitterly. Vogel's biggest feeling after playing this season is why the best players are always in the hands of others.

"Yeah, 60+ wins in the regular season. This is the best result of the Chicago Bulls since 1998. In other words, this is another rise of the Chicago Bulls since the Jordan dynasty!"

"Do you think it is possible for us to go further? The Chicago Bulls are completely different from the Bulls at the beginning of the season. Noah is back, and the team is running in almost perfectly. Thibodeau has brought the Bulls an impregnable defense, and they will soon have an MVP. And we seem to lack a very sure point of attack."

"Really? I don't think so. Among the Bulls' five positions, the defense at the second position is actually not as strong as it seems."

"You mean Keith Bogans? No, Henson, that guy is a great defender! In San Antonio, Popovich would even use him to freeze the opponent's top scorer."

Vogel is very clear that although Bogans does not appear frequently in the media, he is a superb player.

"That depends on who he is defending." Henson turned his attention to George, who was practicing interference shots under the interference of the trainer and hit them frequently.

After being equipped with badges that increase the team's progress speed, George's performance is getting better and better.
