Chapter 158 Chapter 156: The new German tank
Zach Lowe, since he found out the name of this guy, Henson actually did a little research on this malicious reporter.It turned out that this guy was quite famous on ESPN.

In the latest year's top ten basketball reporter rankings, Zach Lowe was selected as the tenth.But people don't think highly of him, saying that most of his reports are "small fights".

Therefore, Zach is desperately trying to break some big news this year.Obviously, for a reporter who thinks he is famous, ranking tenth cannot satisfy his ambitions.

And what is this person most afraid of?What I fear most is being ignored and underestimated.He aspires to be the top three among the top ten basketball reporters, so Henson just pretends to have no idea who you, a nobody, are.

Judging from Zach's reaction just now, Henson's strategy was successful.His first counterattack against Zac was a "crit".There is no doubt that Zach's deflated expression put Henson in a good mood.

But after sitting on the bench, Henson's smile disappeared immediately.Although the outside world has been discussing that damned rumor these days, Henson is very clear that his biggest enemy is not that stupid X reporter who wants to be famous and crazy, but the group of old and resolute men in front of him, the defending champion Dallas Mavericks!

Before the win over the Mavericks, Henson didn't think he had won a real victory.

As the defending champion, the performance of the Mavericks this season is actually very average.The current record is 14 wins and 9 losses, and the aging Mavericks players are also in mediocre condition.Almost no one thinks that the Mavericks can defend their title.It is already a miracle that they won the championship last season.

The so-called miracles, of course, cannot happen often.

Although the chances of defending the title are slim, this does not mean that the Mavericks are easy to pinch. Even if they cannot reach the level of winning the championship, they are definitely a powerful force!After all, the Mavericks still have Dirk Nowitzki, who blew up the Heat last season.

Nowitzki remains one of the best power forwards in the league once he gets his form back.So in the past few days, Henson didn't care about those rumors at all, just to let the players focus on this opponent who is not easy to mess with.

After the warm-up, the referee signaled both sides to start the game.At this moment, the commentators immediately became restless.

"After two days of rumors, let's see what kind of starting lineup Coach Henson will make! Will he be forced to return Matthews to the starting lineup?"

However, Henson did not change his arrangement at all.Paul George still occupies the starting second position, and Wesley Matthews, who scored 22 points in the last game, is still sitting honestly on the bench.

The camera gives close-ups of the faces of George and Matthews, but from their calm expressions, you don't get any valuable information at all.

What George is not worthy of starting, what Matthews is dissatisfied with the team's arrangement is fucking farting!The Indiana Pacers finally had to listen to Henson Joe.

The game started quickly, and the Pacers had a rare chance to get the ball first.Paul strolled through halftime. Since Kidd has not returned from injury, Mavericks coach Carlisle can only continue to start with French teenager Rodrigue Beaubois today.

布博瓦上赛季三月份曾打出过一段时间的高光时刻，从3月4号对阵森林狼拿下17分到3月28号对阵勇士狂砍40分，布博瓦的横空出世让达拉斯人以为他们找到了属于自己的法国跑车。

However, it turns out that Beaubois' outburst was short-lived.In the nearly a year since then, Beaubois has barely produced any impressive performances.So facing this short-lived French teenager, Paul naturally has no pressure.

I saw Paul holding Beaubois who was trying to approach with one hand, and dribbling the ball steadily with the other hand, just like dealing with a child.

At this time, Paul George had already run beyond the three-point line according to Henson's tactical route.Although Henson increased the proportion of George's dribbling training at the beginning of the season, in official games, George is still an off-ball attacker.

Henson basically wouldn't use an immature weapon.For example, George's offense with the ball, such as Leonard's shooting.But once it is taken out, it proves that this weapon is enough to kill people.

Seeing that George was in position, Paul sent the ball to the young No. 24 in a very timely manner.Facing Carter, whose legs and feet were no longer sharp, George pulled up and shot after catching the ball!

"A very crisp three-point shot, the Pacers' tactical execution ability is really terrible!" Van Gundy, who came to the scene to explain today, nodded in approval. It is really different to have an excellent point guard.If only the Rockets could have a point guard above the level, the previous things would not be entangled.

The basketball flew across the sky, and then a "white wave" exploded.This three-pointer was very crisp, and it was clean from the shot to the net.

Although George didn't care about those rumors on the surface, he still kept in mind some criticisms that said he "stands in the latrine and doesn't shit" and "wasted the opportunity to start".

Naturally, there is no conflict between him and Matthews. The only thing George wants to do is to show the group of people whether he is qualified to start!
Watching George score, Carlisle shook his head helplessly.His front line is really too old and too short, and there is nothing he can do about a player like George who is fast, tall and able to shoot.But if there's only one george it's ok if henson he brings the other guys up
On the other side, Nowitzki is also working hard to win the game.Carlisle knew very well that it was easy for the Pacers to kill themselves, but as long as the tempo increased, it would be difficult for the Mavericks to keep up.

So in order to prevent Henson from shrinking the lineup and speeding up the pace, the only way for the Mavericks is to use Nowitzki to create a threat, so that Henson has to increase the presence of players.

Dirk was entrusted with a heavy responsibility today, but he is capable enough to carry the burden on his shoulders.On the first ball in the opening game, Dirk performed his famous golden rooster independent step back on West's head.West couldn't match Dirk's high shot and could only watch the German throw the ball easily.

Dirk Nowitzki may be the most easily overlooked league superstar. Although this guy's style of play is not strong enough, he is definitely deadly.

Since then, Dirk has made three consecutive shots, sweeping away the previous haze, as if he has become the omnipotent German chariot of last summer.

And the Mavericks sat inside to score points again and again, which made the pace of the game extremely slow, and Paul couldn't bring it up even if he wanted to.The Pacers could only compete with the Mavericks one-on-one. Fortunately, George felt good today, so the Mavericks didn't pull the score away.

"Timeout, timeout!" Seeing that the situation was slowly moving toward the Mavericks, Henson called to stop the game first.Although the Pacers are only 2 points behind, the team is playing really uncomfortable, and Henson can't wait for a moment.

"The Pacers didn't show their characteristics at all, but fell into the rhythm of the Mavericks. This is obviously what Coach Carlisle wants to see. I don't know if the Pacers can break through the shackles after this timeout." As a former professional coach, Van Gundy naturally saw the problem easily.

You must not grind against them when you beat the Mavericks. Those old monsters in Dallas belong to the type that gets better after grinding.You and the Mavericks can grind better than Dirk?
The tempo has to be fast, to keep the Mavericks breathless from the start.Once the rhythm soars, even the German tanks will not be able to stabilize!

So, Henson began to make drastic substitutions.He replaced Green with Matthews, then replaced West with Leonard.A strange substitution of one big and four small, the Pacers have to play a small lineup!

"Well, coach Henson's substitutions are always unpredictable." Van Gundy scratched his head, he didn't know how Henson would use a small lineup to contain Dirk's scoring when Nowitzki was playing smoothly.

But Carlisle was shocked when he saw Henson's substitution.Looking at the tall and young perimeter group of the Pacers, what he fears most is coming!

In the eyes of everyone, George and Matthews lightly bumped their fists and walked onto the court at the same time.

It's time to put an end to the rumors!
