Chapter 174 Chapter 172: An Opponent Not Deserving of Respect

Henson was very angry about David West being sent off.He wasn't angry with West, he was angry with the referee.

"That's obviously a self-defense action!" Henson was still nagging in the referee's ear until the game had restarted.

"Whether it's self-defense or not, a violation is a violation. If I let a player swing his elbow unscrupulously, the game will get out of control." Facing Henson's entanglement, the referee can only explain patiently.

Who kept Henson from swearing?If the coach swears, the referee really wants to send him off along with him.

"Out of control!? Then why didn't you send Pachulia off when he stretched out his foot, and you didn't try to control the game until the scene was out of control. Fucking out of control!"

Henson waved his hand and returned to his bench.Henson got a T for that "fuck it."But it doesn't matter, a T is not enough to make Henson go back to the locker room.But then Henson also thought, if he scolded him, he probably wouldn't have to eat T.

At this time, 1 minute had passed since the conflict subsided, and Hinrich was in possession of the ball.

Although Paul said he was fine, Henson asked the team doctor to accompany him in the locker room for some simple checks for safety reasons.

"If your body is really okay, you can come back." This is what Henson said to Paul at the time.

At this time, because the Eagles did not have a serious center, the inside line had been riddled with holes by the Pacers.The old Drew's plan fell through. He originally wanted to stabilize the situation, and then crushed the Pacers who were exhausted in the fourth quarter.

But so far in the game, the Pacers have not shown the slightest sign of exhaustion.After Pachulia was sent off, the Eagles couldn't stabilize the situation at all.

At this time, we can only see if Josh can carry the team to close the score.Johnson's shooting percentage today is not ideal, and Marvin Williams and Teague's offensive power is very limited.All of Drew's hopes fell on Josh.

Although he experienced such a small episode, Josh Smith's game feeling was not interrupted by it.Against West today, Josh played perhaps the best offense of the season.

He tormented West at the mid-range position, exhausting the 32-year-old West on the perimeter.

At this time, Henson had already called Leonard, intending to let him restrict Josh.Anyway, Josh's height of 2 meters will not make Leonard suffer too much.

Seeing Josh scoring goals again and again, Drew seemed to see the dawn of hope.

When the third quarter was halfway through, the difference between the two sides returned to 9 points.There was a commotion in the stands of the Conseco Arena, and the live camera lens immediately cut out of the arena and turned to the player tunnel.

It turned out that Chris Paul was back!
Seeing Paul's safe and sound return, old Drew was shocked!That No. 3 seemed to be a huge shadow, completely blocking the dawn that belonged to Larry Drew and the Eagles!

If a Pachulia can be exchanged for a West and a Paul, then Drew will undoubtedly make a lot of money.It's a pity that from the very beginning of this game, everything went against what he expected.

"I'm back!? What did the team doctor say!?" Henson greeted him immediately.

"It's okay!" Paul waved his hand, "How is the score now?"

"Leading by 9 points, Drew is out of action." Seeing that Paul was fine, Henson let out a sigh of relief.

"I want to play." Paul said firmly without talking nonsense with Henson.

It seems that the "queen bee" is ready to go up and sting people.

"Wait until the next time the ball is dead, pay attention to safety." Henson knew that if he held Paul down now, it would cause conflicts between himself and Paul.

So he reminded him and approved Paul's request to play.

Half a minute later, amidst the wild chants of all the Pacers fans, Indianapolis' new owner, Chris Paul, was back on the court!

At that moment, the entire arena, and the entire Indianapolis, were filled with cheers for Paul.

"Chris Paul, the hero is back!"

Pachulia's dirty moves just now made almost everyone side with the Pacers and Paul.So seeing him return to the arena, not only the Pacers fans, but even many commentators applauded.

Drew lost hope in a tidal wave of cheers, it was over, it was irreparable.

Sure enough, Paul retaliated against Pachulia with basketball after he came back.You want me to end?Then I will end you in the most brutal way!
Paul made sudden shots, attacks and passes, and steals and steals, killing the Eagles' fledgling signs in the cradle.

The point difference was quickly opened, and Henson said that he had never seen Paul's desire to score so strongly.

Paul is a "passing one" point guard, but this does not mean that Paul is gentle in scoring.

In the end, after three quarters, the Pacers led the Eagles by 80 points 62-18.

With an 18-point difference, it is possible to recover it in one game.However, since the Eagles have no insiders at this time, almost most fans have already pronounced the death of the Eagles.

"Speed ​​up the pace, shoot when you have the opportunity! Equalize the score as soon as possible!" Drew was still not reconciled, still delusional to implement the plan in his heart.

As a result, in the fourth quarter, he was surprised to find that his players were exhausted and unable to make any decent counterattacks.And the players of the Pacers are still red-eyed, ready to tear the Eagles into pieces.

So, in the last 12 minutes of the entire game, Pacers fans finally enjoyed a hearty slaughter feast.

"Chris Paul, he knocked Teague down, and then faced Josh's mid-air defensive pull-up layup! Nice, 30 points of the game!"

"Chris Birdman Anderson! Haha, big hat! Poor Collins, maybe the NBA really isn't suitable for him anymore."

"What would Stephenson do? He pushed Johnson hard and made a very domineering layup. See? Stephenson shook his finger at Eagles coach Larry Drew."

Along with Stephenson's provocation, the camera showed the old Drew.

At this time, Drew is no longer in high spirits, nor is he standing on the sidelines and shouting loudly.He just sat on the bench blankly, his eyes glazed over, as if he had lost his soul.

When a coach's pre-game plan doesn't work from the first to the last moment, he is bound to sink into deep self-doubt.

Drew looked up in despair, 101 to 73.Lost, completely defeated!

In the end, it was the electronic buzzer on the scene that saved Drew and the Eagles players.

Drew stood up in desperation and walked to the technical stage, ready to shake hands with Henson.

However, after waiting for a long time, he found that Henson hadn't come over at all.

"Henson, you forgot to shake hands with Drew." Vogel interrupted Henson, who was high-fiving the players.

Henson looked at the technical desk and walked straight over.Neither of the two spoke. Drew felt ashamed that the Eagles had played tricks and lost.And Henson, of course, would not agree with what the Eagles and Pachulia did.

"Crack!" Henson almost slapped Drew's hand, then turned and left.

Some opponents may not really be worthy of respect.

At the post-match press conference, the farce that almost triggered a brawl between the players of both sides was undoubtedly the topic that reporters were most concerned about.

"We emphasize unity every day, so at that time, I have to go forward to protect my brother! If any Pacers player is attacked like that, I will do it." West said facing the camera, "Pachulia's actions should be punished more severely by the league!"

In this regard, Henson agreed, "I will not blame David. Although he was sent off for this, he is doing what he should do. But here, I still want to say sorry to the Eagles. Sorry, your dirty plan was completely ruined in the Conseco Arena!"

After finishing speaking, the two "big guys" West and Henson had an excuse to go to the toilet, and then disappeared forever on the way to the toilet.

The next day, reporters from multiple media broke out that the Pacers players had teamed up to block the Eagles' locker room after the game.
Whether it is true or not will never be known.
