156 Chapter 154: Someone is going to do something

56 to 97, this jaw-dropping score was written on the big screen in the Amway Center at this time.In the case of the Pacers' three-game losing streak, such a score was scored.For the Magic, this is no longer a simple defeat, but a shame, a great shame!

In such a humiliating moment, players can hide in the tunnel without looking back, and Van Gundy must bite the bullet and shake Henson's hand.No wonder, this guy didn't dare to look at Henson's expression.

Less than a minute after the end of the game, this shameful news spread throughout the entire league and the entire world!Thanks to the rapid development of the Internet, Van Gundy and his magic tricks must have been played thousands of times by now.

"The data is enough to explain the problem. 56 points set the lowest scoring record in the history of the Magic. Before that, the worst performance in the history of the Magic dates back to 1997. At that time, they only scored 57 points in a single game against the Cavaliers! At the same time, in this game, the Magic only made 65 of 16 shots, and the shooting percentage was only 24.6%, which also set the worst record in team history! Do you think this is over? No, the tragic data is more than that! Worst performance in team history! Breaking three shameful records in one breath, this is definitely an unforgettable day for the players of the Magic team!"

Kevin Harlan found all these shocking records, and he felt incredible.What he felt in this game was that the Magic didn't look like an NBA team at all!
Therefore, many fans are joking: "Maybe let the NCAA team play against the Pacers, and they won't lose so many points."

The implication is that today's Magic, a team clamoring for the championship, a team whose coach patted his chest before the game and guaranteed to win, is not even as good as an NCAA team!
After accepting the interview with the reporters on the sidelines, Henson was a little envious of Van Gundy.Breaking three team history records in one game, if it were me, I could exchange for three rewards!
After this match, Henson's experience accumulator accumulated another 150 experience points.In other words, as long as the Pacers win another game, Henson can say hello to the long-lost badges.

With a carnage-style victory, Henson and his Pacers left Orlando happily, and also ended the longest three-game losing streak of the season.

Henson has no words to increase the morale of the players at this time, so if he loses this game again, Henson can't guarantee that there will be something wrong in the locker room.

Fortunately, the worst did not happen.I believe that such a massacre victory is enough to get the Pacers back on track.

The day after the game ended, the Magic were still the most popular "star" in the league.After a night of research by fans and experts, it was discovered that the Magic had broken more than three humiliating records.

The Magic made only 16 shots in the game, the worst performance since the NBA implemented the 24-second rule.Although this record is a bit unpopular, it is enough for fans to laugh at the Magic for a while.

"What makes people laugh and cry is that the good-hearted Hinrich didn't seem to want to embarrass the Magic too much at the end of the game, so Weaver was able to score 5 points in a row. Otherwise, the Magic's score would be even worse."

Even Charles Barkley couldn't help complaining on the show. This is a rare time that Barkley actually complained about the Pacers' opponents.

A regular season, let the magic "shine" all over the world.However, the Pacers who defeated the Magic did not arouse such a big discussion.

Henson looked at the news about the shameful record of the Magic, and couldn't help saying enviously: "I didn't expect it, I didn't expect it, we finally made the wedding dress that made the Magic famous."

Just the day after the Magic and Pacers finished the game, the Magic will fly to Philadelphia to play back-to-back games with the 76ers.

This game was originally nothing to watch, but since the Magic broke a number of records yesterday, the number of fans buying tickets has doubled, bringing the 76ers' perennially sluggish attendance to a small climax.Even Henson couldn't help but go home and watch the live broadcast of the game that night.

Henson naturally knows best how poor the Magic team was in yesterday.And he was sure that it was impossible for Magic to adjust in less than a day.So Henson can guarantee that the Magic will still play a very "disgraceful" game.

And that night, the Magic did not disappoint the fans and Henson.With the 76ers scoring only 74 points, the Magic still lost! 68 to 74, the Magic continued their "perfect" performance. Although the 68 points look a lot more "respectable" than the 56 points in the previous game, such a ridiculously low score will undoubtedly allow the Magic to continue to enjoy the "love" of the fans.

When the Magic team refreshed their lower limit again and again, Henson was rarely freed from the vicious mouths of reporters and experts.With the Magic defending him, Henson can finally do his own thing comfortably.

So in the last game in January, Henson led the Pacers to an easy win over the Nets in New Jersey.After this game, Henson's experience accumulator finally paid off.After reaching level 1, Henson can choose one of three rewards just like completing the achievement.

This time, Henson chose the loyalty soldier level 1 badge, which has the effect of increasing player loyalty by 10% during negotiations.For Henson, what he has to consider now is not only the present moment. If so many outstanding players are selected but none of them can be retained in the end, it doesn't make any sense.

And after this upgrade, sure enough, as Henson thought.The next time you want to get rewards again, the required experience has changed from 300 to 500.In other words, the further you go, the more wins you need to upgrade.

However, Henson is not too worried about this point. As long as the foundation can be laid well, even if the rewards he can get decrease in the future, it will not have a decisive impact on him.

On February 2, the Pacers defeated the Timberwolves in Minnesota.Although the Timberwolves finally waited for their "golden boy" Rubio, Rubio's weak scoring ability could not directly help the Timberwolves soar into the sky.

Facing the immature Rubio in this game, Paul scored a season-high 36 points in one fell swoop.Just because Paul is a playmaker-first type of point guard doesn't mean he's soft on weak defenses.

I can already score easily, why go around in circles to get assists?

Of course, apart from Paul, the most eye-catching player in this game is undoubtedly Wesley Matthews, the sixth man of the Pacers this season.

After the outstanding performance of this undrafted pick last season, his performance this season is also very stable.Although he lost his starting position, he did nothing less than last season.In this game, Matthews made 5 of 4 three-pointers and scored the team's second-highest 22 points in one fell swoop. He is undoubtedly the second biggest contributor to the Pacers' victory.

After the game, Matthews also had a rare sideline interview with reporters.After all, Matthews is a low-key person, there has been no news, and the media attention is relatively small.

As an undrafted pick, he knows that the only thing he needs to do is to play hard. In addition, Pacers coach Henson is a media darling, so this is the first time Matthews has been treated on the sidelines this season.

But precisely because Matthews doesn't often deal with the media, the media can just play tricks on him.

"Wesley, congratulations, you played a perfect game today! As we all know, your performance has been very stable this season. As a substitute, your scoring average has reached 15.3 points per game. But even so, Coach Henson still let Paul George occupy the starting position. Even though you played well as a starter during his injury, he still got the starting treatment as soon as he came back. Do you feel unfair or dissatisfied with this?"

This is undoubtedly a very sharp question. If the subject of the interview is Henson, the reporters will definitely not get any substantive answers.But with simple Matthews, reporters can make a big fuss!After all, not everyone is as slick as Henson.As long as Matthews' answer is even slightly inappropriate, the reporters can hype this matter up!

Finding trouble for nothing, isn't that what reporters are best at.

"I really like the feeling of starting, but in the team, everything has to listen to the boss." Matthews smiled. He can play in the NBA now because of the Chinese coach who rushed into his room.Therefore, Matthews is very willing to obey Henson's arrangement.

God knows where I would be playing without this coach.

"Before 12 o'clock today, you can be angry, you can be angry, and you can feel cheated. But after 12 o'clock, boy. You have more important things to do, so cheer up!"

What Henson said to him at the beginning is the catalyst for Matthews to work so hard all the time.So what about playing as a substitute?He would accept any role for Henson.

The reporter smiled and left with satisfaction.What Matthews thinks the reporter actually doesn't care at all, what he cares about is what he can make the fans think.

I do like the feeling of starting, but in the team, everything has to listen to the boss.This sounds so helpless?
