Chapter 194 192: Teleportation?
"Coach Henson, it's been a long time." Christine stepped up to greet Henson very generously. Now she will naturally no longer feel nervous about interviewing the team coach.

"It's been a long time, and I didn't recognize you just now." Henson had to admit that he couldn't help but cast a second glance at Christine.But Christine was not shy about this, and seemed to be quite proud of it.

"Congratulations, the Pacers have done very well this season. At the same time, I would also like to thank you, Coach Henson. If it weren't for your humorous resolving the embarrassment, I might not have survived the internship period." Christine stretched out her hand and shook Henson lightly.If Coach Henson hadn't posted photos of traveling with his girlfriend many times, this reporter really wanted to ask if he could have a private date with this coach.

"It's too early to congratulate, after all, the playoffs haven't started yet. Thank you, because I didn't actually do anything. Look at you now, and look at me now. I think we are no longer rookies." Henson joked.

"Yes, time flies. Let's talk again after the game. Now I have to interview you." After Christine finished speaking, she turned and nodded at the cameraman.The conversation between the two just now was just a private greeting, and the real interview will start now.

"Hello, Coach Henson Joe. For this game, you must have been preparing for a long time. We saw that you seemed to have explained something to Chris Anderson and Al Horford on the sidelines just now. Will the communication between you affect the progress of this game?" Christine raised the microphone and put it next to Henson's mouth.

Henson couldn't help smiling, and had to admit that this little girl looked much more professional now than before.

"Maybe, maybe not. Who can guarantee that the whispering between me and the two of them is not a bluff? After all, I often do this." Henson spread his hands with a relaxed face. His answer was as usual without substantive content, but the fans liked to listen.

"Then, do you think the Pacers will be able to seize the winning shot at the last moment in this game?" Christine is very good at asking questions now, and she undoubtedly grasped the topic of the Pacers being killed by Wade in the last game!
"I will only try my best so that the game does not have to be decided by a ball."

"Thank you very much, Coach Henson, I wish you the best of luck in the game." After speaking, Christine blinked at Henson.

Henson nodded lightly, if every reporter was as beautiful and gentle as Christine, I guess Henson's temper would not be so grumpy
After a long period of foreshadowing, finally, this high-profile nationwide live broadcast game officially kicked off at [-]:[-] pm local time!
The players on both sides looked ready to fight, and the coaches of the two teams, Henson and Spoelstra, also stood on the sidelines with their arms crossed before the start of the game.

For the Heat, the starting lineup is exactly the same as before.Chalmers, Wade, James, Bosh and Joe Anthony served as the starting five.For the Pacers, although Henson whispered to "Birdman" and Horford before the game, people thought that Henson would let Horford and "Birdman" start at the same time.

However, at this time, David. West is still standing on the court, the Pacers' starting lineup has not changed.

Both sides have a complete lineup and are in excellent form.The Heat had just experienced four consecutive victories before losing to the Thunder yesterday, and the Pacers have also won 8 of the last 7 games.

The referee whistled, and everyone tensed up.It's started, the most worth-watching game of this year's regular season has officially started!

Horford won the first attack for the Pacers from Joe Anthony. On the defensive end, the Heat are prepared.Wade defends Paul himself, and James marks George.And Chalmers, the point guard, was "thrown" in front of Danny Green.

Changing defense as soon as he came up, Henson curled his lips. It seems that Spoelstra made a lot of arrangements without saying a word.

However, in the first round of offense, the Pacers did not seek outside scoring, but directly hit the ball inside.

Horford made a small jump inside and easily scored the first point for the Pacers.The player Joe Anthony, as Henson commented: "If it weren't for the fact that the Heat don't have a center, it would be impossible for him to get the chance to start the game with his strength. In the other 29 teams in the league, it is impossible for Joe Anthony to start the game."

Such a center with mediocre ability and a height of only 2 meters must not be able to bring any pressure to Horford.

"The Pacers' strategy today is to attack the inside?" Chris Webber guessed based on the picture of Henson and his two center forwards whispering before the game.

However, being the first to score by the Pacers did not frustrate the Heat's confidence. Chalmers passed the ball to James just after halftime.At the same time, Wade's back run of a chicken thief threw off the inexperienced George and successfully cut into the inside.Without hesitation, James sent the ball to Wade vigorously!
James' passing is so powerful that it is called a "bullet assist".This season, James' organizational skills have improved a lot, so Wade's chance to cut to the basket was not wasted.

But Wade had just received the basketball and was about to attack the frame, but found that Al Horford had raised his arms and was waiting for him!
"Why so fast!?" Wade was startled, he knew that Horford was one of the best defenders in the league.But this time, the replacement was really too fast!His own cut and James' pass were very sudden, and it was impossible for Horford to prepare in advance.

But in an extremely small space, Wade has no possibility of passing the ball.He has only two choices now, either shoot or stop the ball!

There is no doubt that stopping the ball in this position is a fatal blow to the team's offense.The experienced Wade wouldn't do that, so he leaned on Horford to force a layup!
This season, Wade's physical condition is not as good as before.It is already a miracle that the guard who had his meniscus removed in college can achieve such great success in the NBA.Only now, time began to expose Wade's physical problems one by one.

This time for a layup, Wade failed to jump up due to the interference, so naturally he made the layup inaccurately.A successful defense!Henson secretly squeezed his fist off the court!
But others didn't seem to notice anything, it was just another very ordinary defense
The Pacers attacked in the second round, and the Heat's players were ready to move, as if they wanted to double-team the inside players who received the basketball at any time.However, this time, the Pacers didn't make a shot at all inside.

Horford mentioned holding the ball in a high position. He was still a scoring point just now and has become a command tower at this time.Paul swooped toward Horford from the flank and looked like he was going to hand-off.

However, the moment Paul was about to catch the ball, Horford lifted the ball, avoided Paul, and passed it to George!
The cooperation between Paul and Horford is false, and George's point is true!However, the act of the two pretending to hand in hand attracted the defensive attention of most people on the Heat team.Therefore, even James' eyes are always staring at his good brother Paul.

When he realized that he was going to block George, the Indiana No. 24 had already made a long shot.George's height and wingspan make his shot point not low either.If you miss the first opportunity to interfere with the shot, there is no room to make up for it.

"Swipe!" A three-pointer was hit, and the Pacers scored two consecutive offenses!People thought that the Pacers wanted to hit the inside hard, but soon, Henson told Spoelstra: "You still have to think about it."

5 to 0, the Pacers started very well, and the shouts in the Conseco Arena became more and more enthusiastic.

Seeing this situation, James knew he had to score.After he played two simple cooperations with Wade, he got the chance to single Green with the ball.

Green is naturally not afraid of confronting James hard, but the point is, you can't win without being afraid.

After James continued his "bullet assist", he used "tank crush" to lean on Green and enter the three-second zone.Green's confrontation ability is not weak, but James' impact is indeed too abnormal.

But when James rolled into the inside and was about to make a layup, Horford was the same as before, waiting for the basket with his arms raised high.

"What?" James was also taken aback. Will Horford teleport today or what?Why is he always in the three-second zone?

You know, under the three-second defense rule, it is impossible for Horford to stay in the penalty area all the time.

Before James could figure it out, he had already bumped into Horford in the air.Although James is a powerful finisher, with such a big obstacle, even James can't score goals every time.

So for the second time in this game, the Pacers relied on the inside defense to successfully deflate the Heat again.

Stepping forward. Breen's eyes suddenly lit up. He seemed to know what the Pacers' trick was to allow Horford to "teleport"
"This guy" Brin shook his head with a smile.
