Chapter 115 Chapter 113: Considering the Second Round

113比95，霍华德46分19个篮板。看到这两组数据，人们肯定都以为获得113分的是魔术。

In fact, however, the Magic are the loser.

"The game is over, listen to the cries of the Pacers fans! Although the game entered garbage time early, the Pacers fans still chose to stay at the scene and celebrate with the team their first playoff victory in four years!"

Reggie Miller shouted as loudly as possible. If he didn't speak louder, his voice would be drowned out by the cheers of the fans.

At the end of the game, all the players around Henson rushed onto the pitch, hugged and celebrated.

This is the first playoff victory for this group of young people, and their opponent has always been more optimistic about the Orlando Magic.

Before the start of the game, those questioning voices and those contemptuous eyes undoubtedly made the boys extremely aggrieved.But now, with the arrival of the game victory, all the grievances broke out into joy, making them excitedly embrace their victory on the court.

Once again, the Pacers silenced everyone who was not optimistic about them!

On-site camera shots were given to the Pacers players celebrating wildly, and then aimed at Henson.

Henson was very calm. He stood on the sidelines with his hands folded and looked at his players with a faint smile. He didn't run around the field in a suit like he used to.

Of course, he wasn't unhappy, but after the game, Henson had completed two achievements at once, and he was busy choosing rewards at this time.

Leading the team into the playoffs and winning their first victory in the playoffs, once again faced with a situation where the rewards were 6 out of 2, Henson felt so beautiful.

This time, Henson upgraded his Quick Recovery Badge and Injury Reduction Badge, making both badges level 2, with a 20% bonus effect.

As long as injuries can be avoided as much as possible, Henson is confident that the Pacers can go all the way on the right path.

How many teams and players have been ruined by injuries?Now, Henson has the opportunity to avoid all these accidents.

"This game is much easier than expected, buddy." After choosing the reward, Henson smiled and hugged his assistant and friend Vogel. Before the game started, Vogel was more nervous than Henson.

"A plan, you always have a plan, Henson." Vogel shook his head, opening up to let the opponent's star bombard him indiscriminately and finally win the game. This kind of thing may only be done by the crazy Henson.

Henson's "wild way" sometimes makes Vogel find it unacceptable, but as long as he can win, it doesn't matter how weird Henson's tactics are.

In the press conference after the game, Stan Van Gundy claimed the loss was an accident.The team will regroup, try to get an away win, and reverse the situation at home.

Henson scoffed at the notion, "Any loss is an accident. The question is, can we correct the accident."

※※※

In Game 4 of the April 19 series between the Magic and the Pacers, Van Gundy failed to correct the accident, and Henson created another accident for the Magic.

In this game, the Magic has regained some form, but the form is still average.The Magic's three-point shooting percentage in the whole game was still only 28.6%, and the Pacers' unlimited defenses on the outside made it impossible for the Magic shooters to get shooting space.

Turkoglu was 6 for 1 three-pointers, Nelson was 7 for 1, and Redick was 4 for 1. It seems that the Magic will be sent to the grave again. Fortunately, at the last moment of the game, "Ah Q" Quentin Richardson hit three consecutive three-pointers, allowing the Magic to catch up with the score to only 1 point.

However, in the last 5.4 seconds, Granger made a cold-blooded long-range shot and hit a quasi-lore, completely killing the game.This star, who is the least like a star, won the worship of all the fans at his home court today.

94 to 90, the Pacers made another victory and kept all two home victories.

Howard scored 21+15 in this game, but still fell short.

Two days later, the Magic finally pulled back a victory at home.After winning a game, Van Gundy told reporters impatiently: "We will definitely tie the score in Orlando and advance to the next round!"

What about Henson?He didn't seem annoyed by the loss: "Tigers have naps too."

In Game [-] of the resulting series, the Tigers from Indianapolis came to life.

Granger and Holiday scored 30 points each, and the Magic's perimeter defense was useless.Under the positive breakthrough of the two, Howard could not scruple Horford.As a result, Horford made 7 of 5 shots from outside the three-point line and scored 25 points in one fell swoop.The performance of the three combined to score 85 points made the Magic Arenas' 20 points worthless.

116 to 100, Van Gundy just said that the Magic will be revived, and the Magic was killed by a huge disadvantage of 16 points. Even Henson felt embarrassed for him.

During the press conference, reporters questioned Henson. "Will you arrange any special arrangements for Arenas in the next game?"

Henson looked at the reporter in surprise after listening to the question, making the reporter think he had said something wrong.

"The next game? Arenas? No, no, no, I'm not thinking about the next game. I'm already thinking about my opponent in the next round!"

This time, the reporters were surprised.Who did you hear this sentence before?

At this time, the total score of the series has become 3 to 1.Next up in Indianapolis, the Magic face a "win or go home" showdown.

Even though the last 1-3 playoff reversal in NBA history was already in 2006, Magic fans who were angered by Henson's remarks still firmly believed that the all-powerful Warcraft could help the team make history.

It stands to reason that the same is true. Faced with this kind of life and death situation, the star players will generally work hard.In the first game of the series, Howard scored a terrifying stat of 46+19, so people expect Howard to show a more exaggerated performance in the life and death game.

The fans are waiting to see Howard clean up the rude Henson, and are waiting to see Henson, who is already considering his opponent in the next round, get embarrassed.And Howard himself?He's tired, he's been playing almost solo for four games, he's tired.

In the first game of the series, Howard was able to win 46+19 because he only wanted to lead the team to the promotion.But now, Howard thinks more about his next stop.

So in this high-profile life-and-death battle, "Warcraft" Howard only took 5 shots and only hit one goal.Only 8 points and 8 rebounds were recorded in the whole game. His sleepwalking performance made the game lose suspense after only halftime.

"Dwight's sudden loss was beyond everyone's expectations. He completely dominated the penalty area in the first four games of the series. Today, his fighting spirit seems not to be high. Perhaps, the 1-3 situation has made Howard give up hope?"

Reggie Miller was right, even Henson didn't expect Howard to play like this today.Could it be that his mouth was so poisonous that Howard lost confidence?
Considering the words of the opponent in the next round, it should be more poisonous to himself.

So this would have been a fierce battle of life and death, but ended with a ridiculous score of 101 to 76.Howard has become a lone hero, and the Magic's management still doesn't know that the loss in the playoffs this time also made their leading center lose all patience.

4 to 1, Henson, who played in the playoffs for the first time, led the Pacers to defeat the Orlando Magic, a veteran Eastern powerhouse, and easily advanced to the second round!
Indianapolis is in a frenzy. In the second round of the playoffs, before the start of the season, who would have believed that the Pacers could advance to the playoffs?
Of course, it wasn't just Indianapolis who were cheering.

At this time, in Philadelphia, the Chicago Bulls, which had a 3-1 lead, had also booked the next promotion spot.

Tom Thibodeau, the coach who forged a relationship with Henson during the regular season, is also already considering his opponent in the next round.

"I'm looking forward to playing against Coach Henson and taking the victory from him." Thibodeau couldn't help clenching his fists when he thought that his opponent in the next round would be Henson.

It's really a narrow road.
