Chapter 162 160: Seeing these two brothers gives me a headache
The major media obviously reserved a lot of pages to report on Henson's suspension. However, in the end, regarding this matter, the media could only use "Coach Henson was not severely punished" to pass it off.

No one thought that David Stern would lightly punish such an aggressive coach, and the $2 fine was really not painful.

"Coach Henson may have bought his girlfriend more than $2 in luxury bags!" A media even commented on this tickling ticket.

For the media who were going to watch Henson make a fool of themselves but were disappointed, Bird felt sorry for them.But if they heard how Henson fooled Stern at that time, they probably wouldn't be surprised.

Henson's words can make people hate him instantly, and naturally, they can also make an old man happy in an instant.

As the party involved in the whole matter, Henson has long been out of it.If the media likes to discuss it, let's discuss it. Anyway, it's not the first day that I have been targeted by the media.

Henson is more willing to focus on daily training and the next game than the messy things like league tickets.

While the media were still discussing why Henson escaped punishment, the Pacers had played another set of back-to-back games without saying a word, and scored 1 win and 1 loss.

2月7号打铁血不再的爵士，虽然爵士队7人得分上双，但依然没有掩盖住保罗25分12个助攻的光芒。8号背靠背客场打老鹰，步行者队展现出了良好的体能储备状态。不过约什.史密斯以64%的超高命中率轰下28分，还是让老鹰队有惊无险地取得了胜利。

Of course, this game undoubtedly made Henson's old rival Larry Drew extremely happy.After the game, he even bluntly said: "Fake things will be exposed sooner or later", in order to satirize Henson's half-baked identity.

However, Drew's attack did not bring any rhythm except to make Henson angry.Because people suddenly discovered that the Pacers are already sitting in the second place in the Eastern Conference now that the schedule is almost halfway through!
The tournament runs into February, even though the regular season has just started.But in fact, the regular season of this season is almost halfway through.

This is always a shrinking season, and the regular season disappears in the blink of an eye.Therefore, if the team wants to stabilize the ranking, it must enter the state as soon as possible.The shrinking schedule naturally means that there is less room for trial and error for coaches.

But fortunately, the Pacers seem to have entered the state from the beginning of the season, so Henson doesn't have to worry too much about the team ranking now.

The performance of the Pacers so far is undoubtedly beyond people's expectations, because the Pacers have undergone huge changes during the offseason and have not encountered running-in problems.As soon as they came up, they played a wave of 11 consecutive victories, and booked the top three seats in the Eastern Conference early.

At this time, the Pacers are ahead of the Heat and the Celtics and rank second in the East, and they are only 0.5 wins away from the Bulls who are the number one in the East.

"Whether you want to admit it or not, Henson did let the Pacers play the best record since the 03-04 season!"

"The Pacers' ability to overwhelm the Heat and the Celtics is not entirely due to Coach Henson's mouth."

"Henson is a controversial figure, but his achievements are also real."

Until then, the media finally recovered from the fine incident.In the blink of an eye, this young Chinese coach has already done such a good job!

When the media attacked Henson, Henson didn't care.Naturally, when the media praised Henson, Henson would not be complacent.

Therefore, although people are now appreciating the Pacers' second place in the Eastern Conference, Henson is very troubled at this time.

When the season reaches February, the Pacers will naturally start to meet more Western teams.If you want to say which Western Conference team Henson was most afraid of playing last season, he would definitely not choose the Los Angeles Lakers or Denver Nuggets, but the Memphis Grizzlies, who have always been very low-key!

"Black and white bears, damn it, I get dizzy seeing these two brothers." Conseco Arena's tactics will be indoors, and in the dark room, Henson couldn't help but hold his forehead.

At this point, the only source of light in the room is the projection of the projector on the screen.What is being played on it is nothing but the game video of the Grizzlies.

"It's really rare. Coach Henson would actually be frowning because of his next opponent?" Vogel couldn't help joking with Henson. After all, no matter what opponent Henson meets this season, he always looks confident.

The Memphis Grizzlies are the only team that hasn't won since Henson became head coach.The Pacers met the Grizzlies twice last season, but suffered a double kill.The reason for their loss is also very simple. Last season, the Pacers' weak inside reserves could not withstand the strong slap of the "black and white bears".

"Okay Frank, you should find a way to help me develop a defensive strategy instead of sarcasm. Gasol will have an absolute height advantage in the three-second zone, and the Grizzlies' defense is very tight. It is not easy for us to increase the tempo. We must be prepared to play a positional battle with the Grizzlies." As soon as this sentence was finished, Henson rubbed his chin again, "No, no. That old fox of Hollins must have thought of this. Difficult to overcome."

This is Henson, he always deliberately thinks about what the other party is planning.

"To surprise them, we have to go inside. Hollins would never have imagined that we would dare to attack their inside." Silas suggested.

"Inside? Unless I'm crazy, Stephen, our inside players. Inside, yes, it's a good idea." Henson thought about it seriously. This season, the Pacers' inside configuration is completely different from last year.

Especially, after adding that guy.

※※※

The excellent results of the Pacers this season are unquestionable, and this result can be produced mainly because the Pacers have not experienced any problems of acclimatization after undergoing changes during the offseason.As soon as the season started, the team immediately entered a state of full firepower.

The reason why the team has hardly encountered any running-in problems is that, in addition to Henson's training plan and the role of badges, the leadership qualities of Paul and David West are also one of the reasons why the team can quickly gather together.

Naturally, Paul needless to say, he is a natural leader, also has the bonus of superstar status, and is also the commander on the court.The combination of these factors makes the players obediently listen to him.

But David West's role in it is greater than the outside world imagined.

In Henson's evaluation: "He is a natural orator, and he knows how to boost morale better than anyone."

And, he is still the most stable mid-range pitcher in the league and the most stable scoring point for the Pacers.Every game has a stable output, and the hit rate does not fluctuate much.When the Pacers can't start the situation, West will often use an unremarkable mid-range shot to break the scoring drought.

As Paul said when evaluating West: "I call him a 17-foot assassin."

David West was always overlooked, even though he was an All-Star.But as a member of the super-platinum generation in 03, West was able to rank No.5 in the draft rearrangement many years later.And before him, but LeBron James, Dwyane Wade, Carmelo Anthony and other names
Henson knows very well that it's time to take advantage of this super cost-effective star forward.

After training, when Henson was about to go to the locker room to talk to West about his plan for the next game, he found West wearing a pair of glasses and concentrating on the book in his hand.

West likes to read, which is well known in the team.Of course, this bookish air is in stark contrast to his tough and rugged appearance on the court.

"David, are you still going home?" Henson greeted West naturally, and sat beside him.

"Wait for Chris to take a shower." West looked up and gave Henson a friendly smile, then pointed to the shower room.

"What book are you reading?" Henson leaned over curiously.

West has never shy away from sharing his books with his teammates or coaches. In fact, George often borrows books from West.

So West turned over the cover and gave Henson a look. "Hegel's "Phenomenology of Spirit", I can lend it to you if you are interested."

"Uh..." Henson realized that he asked a wrong question, the real Nima suffered from culture!
"No need, in fact, I'm looking for you because I hope you can prepare well. For tomorrow's training, I plan to let you switch roles and be a main scoring point."

Hearing what Henson said, West closed the book with a snap.

"I'm always ready, boss."

Sure enough, an assassin is an assassin.
