Chapter 170 168: Appearance of "dress up"

Two hours before the start of the game, the state of the players on the training ground made Henson feel extremely happy.Although the Pacers have experienced two hard battles in the past two days, the physical condition shown by the players at this time is not as bad as imagined.

This is mainly due to two points. First, as the season progresses, the players' bodies have begun to adapt to high-intensity games, and their physical reserves have improved a lot at the beginning of the season.The second point is much easier, Henson has the cumulative fatigue reduction badge.

Therefore, for tonight's game, Henson is still very confident.As long as the Pacers don't run out of stamina and miss key shots at the end of the fourth quarter, even the Eagles won't be able to soar on Indianapolis soil.

Of course, Henson didn't let the players practice too hard before the game started.After running a few tactics, Henson called off all training.

"Save all your energy for beating your opponent!" said the Chinese coach in a floral suit.

At 2:16 on the evening of February 07, the Conseco Arena was already full of people.Although the players and coaches haven't played yet, the reporters are already busy.

Behind the Pacers' bench, coach Henson's college girlfriend was spotted.Wearing a leather jacket and leather pants, she not only showed her proud long legs, but also made her look youthful.

Just as the reporters turned their cameras on An Jiali, who was good-looking online, the Pacers players came out.

This group of tall and strong men immediately stole An Jiali's limelight. After all, basketball is the number one theme on the basketball court.

But just a few seconds later, the cameras of the on-site photographers turned around again.

Coach Henson was the last one to come out of the player tunnel with an extremely serious face.On top of that, he wore a very dazzling floral suit.Countless people suddenly remembered that Coach Henson is only 32 years old!

"Hahahahaha, what!?" On the commentary stage, O'Neill was directly amused by Henson's outfit.

"What kind of outfit is this? Does Coach Henson think today is the All-Star Weekend?" Kenny Smith also widened his eyes, because not to mention the head coach, even the commentators don't wear suits like this.

Henson ignored the exclamations from the stands and the fans who had silently pulled out their phones. He walked to the bench and greeted An Jiali.

"Hey, you're so cool tonight!" An Jiali stretched out her hand across the bench to straighten Henson's collar.

"Oh, hohohohoho! My God, this is so beautiful!" O'Neill laughed and covered his eyes, and Henson was probably the first coach to come to the court to show affection.

"Come on, everyone is watching you."

"Don't worry, I can't let my old friend Drew down." After speaking, Henson turned around, only to find that many players on the field were staring at him.Seeing himself turn around, he immediately turned his head to practice.

"Coach Henson gave a critical blow to many single people when he came out before the game. Hey, the Eagles are on the field."

Kenny Smith was talking, and Larry Drew took his players to the court to warm up.

Although there were sporadic boos from the stands when the Eagles entered the field, old Larry Drew was still very confident.This coach, who is 22 years older than Henson, has already had the experience of defeating the Pacers once. As long as he can contain the running of those few off-ball points on the offensive end, it is actually not difficult to win against the Pacers.

Of course, the old coach didn't know that the reason why he wasn't booed by the Pacers fans was not because his team was terrible, but because the fans' eyes were all attracted by the fancy Henson, and the visiting team who didn't pay attention at all had already appeared on the field.

It wasn't until Drew turned his head and glanced towards the other half that Henson's striking attire was noticed.

"What a clown!" Drew muttered to himself, looking forward to the start of the game soon.

After half an hour of simple warm-up, the Conseco Arena has become full of people.In the last game of the back-to-back schedule, after just fighting the Heat, everyone hopes that the Pacers can persevere and win.

But Larry Drew was very confident in an interview on the sidelines: "This is the Pacers' fifth game in a week, 7 games in 5 days. Even a hard-fought team will feel tired. In order to win, I don't mind taking advantage of this."

Drew didn't smile, and he already had a look of winning.No matter how many ghost ideas Henson has, it is impossible to solve the team's physical problems.

What the Eagles have to do today is very simple, to stabilize the score in the first three quarters and prevent the Pacers from playing a quick counterattack.In the last quarter, when the Pacers are the most tired, give them a fatal blow!
It's that simple to defeat Henson Joe!
"Don't worry, you must control your mistakes! But if the opponent makes a mistake or fails to retreat, find a counterattack as soon as possible!" Before the game started, Henson also emphasized the precautions one last time.

He can probably predict what Drew is planning, so he will definitely not let him do so.Strive to gain an advantage in the first three quarters, and the last quarter exhausted the Eagles!

In this way, the two coaches who had been talking to each other for a long time before the game finally started their fighting style.

The referee whistled, and the duel between the two enemies officially began!
Since Horford moved to the Pacers, Georgia center Zaza Pachulia has become Atlanta's starting five.

Pachulia averaged 7.8 points and 7.9 rebounds per game this season, which seems to just pass.However, the biggest feature of the Georgian is not his statistics, but his toughness.Or to use Henson's evaluation: "That's called dirty."

In the last battle between the two sides, Stephenson and Pachulia had some quarrels.Fortunately, Hensen warned in time, so the matter did not expand, and it did not have any impact.

At the beginning of the game, this seemingly elegant but dirty white center won the first attack for the Eagles.

Eagles young guard Jeff Teague slowly pushed forward and opened Larry Drew's first attack.

Speaking of Jeff Teague, Henson was very optimistic about him when he was drafted.Once, this young man was also one of Henson's key observation targets.

After the Pacers got Hinrich, Teague's playing time also rose all the way.This season, he has become the Eagles' starting point guard, averaging 12.6 points and 5 assists per game.

Speaking of which, old Drew has to thank Henson.If Henson hadn't taken Hinrich away, how could Teague, a potential rookie, emerge.

Although Teague has played some good performances this season, he has scored 20+ points in three consecutive games.But with Paul watching him, Henson wasn't worried at all.

Sure enough, under Paul's entanglement, Teague didn't hold the ball much.Just approaching the three-point line, Teague handed the ball to the Eagles' top scorer, "Eagle King" Joe Johnson.

When the Eagles gave up Horford, it was because of Joe Johnson's big contract.Johnson has lived up to expectations and has been the Eagles' highest scoring average player.

Today, Johnson's desire to attack is very strong.After receiving the ball, he took a butterfly step, made a sudden change to break through George, and then made an emergency stop in the middle distance for a jumper.

"Joe Johnson, the iconic single!"

"Snapped!"

As soon as Kenny Smith finished speaking, there was a crisp sound on the court.It turned out that the active George used the length of his arms to block Joe Johnson's shot from behind!

It's just that Horford suffered, George's block made the basketball hit Horford's face solidly.Horford inexplicably "passed" the ball to Paul with his face.

Paul didn't bother to observe how sad Horford's face was, and turned around to launch a counterattack!
"But if the opponent makes a mistake or is unable to retreat in time, look for a counterattack immediately!" Henson's words Paul has always kept in mind, grasp the counterattack, grasp the counterattack.
The Eagles' defense was not unpleasant. As Henson's old opponent, Drew could not turn a blind eye to the Pacers' quick counterattack.

Although the block appeared very suddenly, when Paul wanted to pass, there were already three Hawks players in front of him.

But in the crowd, Paul caught a glimpse of George who immediately went forward after the block.So, Paul jumped up and smashed it hard!The basketball passed through the crowd at a very fast speed and was sent straight to George!
"Beautiful pass! But... how did the ball pass!?" Kenny Smith, who was commentating the game, only saw the basketball appear in the hands of George in an instant with an afterimage. The latter easily completed the Pacers' first offense with a one-handed dunk.

Even the camera couldn't capture the route Paul used to pass the basketball through the three-man field to George.This ball is really too fast, and the angle is indeed too tricky.

"What's going on!?" Drew's eyes widened, and he looked up at the big screen, ready to watch the replay of the ball.

However, there was no replay on the big screen, and the shot was given to Henson.What Drew saw was the expression of the fancy young handsome applauding triumphantly.

With two Pauls around, it's not easy to catch you and fight back?
　Come on, come on, get used to it slowly, maybe I can continue to add it later hehehe
