Chapter 385 Chapter 383: The Old Man and the Strong Man
The Heat's counterattack in the fourth quarter was very fierce. Everyone knows how important it is to get the match point in this series.

If the Heat can get the match point in the away game, there is no doubt that when they return to the American Airlines Arena in the next game, they will have an advantage both psychologically and in terms of momentum.

Henson said that so far in the series, both sides have basically exhausted their cards, and what they are fighting for is morale and toughness.Just thinking about it, you know how high the morale of the Heat will be if they return to Miami with a match point.

But Henson's tactics and formation allowed the Pacers to firmly control the situation.Every time the Heat were about to start, the Pacers stopped the bleeding in time, ending the Heat's chances of an offensive climax.

At the beginning of the fourth quarter, Mike Miller and James scored two three-pointers respectively, reducing the difference to 10 points.
But soon, Paul poured a pot of cold water on the hot fire with a decisive three-pointer.

Subsequently, James' continuous breakthroughs created kills, allowing the Heat to narrow the gap by 1 point.However, David West and Horford succeeded with continuous inside attacks and continued to stabilize the point difference.

Spoelstra has undergone many substitutions and tactical adjustments, but he can't get rid of the Pacers' dominance.No matter what he does, the point difference just can't get close to single digits.A deep sense of powerlessness spread throughout Spoelstra's body, and the Filipino now understood the true meaning of the word "game domination".

As the game progressed, Mike Breen began to marvel at Henson's ability to control the game.Seeing the Heat start to score consecutively, Henson will always call a timeout, or replace someone to continue playing.In short, he will not appear inaction.

And every adjustment he makes can contain the Heat's counterattack.To be honest, Henson and Spoelstra are completely different in their ability to control the game.

When explaining the game, Mike Breen couldn't help but think.If there is a team with a coach who can compete with Henson, and players with the same configuration as the Pacers, what will it look like if these two teams fight?
But as soon as he thought of this, Mike Brin stopped.Because he found that the duel he expected might really come true.

San Antonio Spurs. But they already advanced from the Western Conference Finals yesterday.Pacers VS Spurs, Henson Joe VS Popovich?Mike Brin shook his head, the picture is so beautiful, let's focus on the moment!

※※※

David. West took the impact of Bosh, Bosh turned and walked inside, but found that Al Horford double-teamed up.

The Pacers' interior defense is perfect. Horford and West are players with extremely high IQ.

Staring at the TV, the white-haired old man adjusted his glasses on the bridge of his nose.Henson's adjustment made him extremely amazed. Of course, it was not without flaws.

"Chris Bosh missed a strong attack at the basket. He was complaining to the referee that West had fouled. But there is no doubt that the referee ignored Bosh's behavior!"

On TV, Mike Breen's voice is still full of passion.Even anyone who understands the game can see that the Heat are hopeless in this game.

"Which side do you think will win? I mean, the entire series." At this moment, a burly man beside the white-haired old man asked.

"How do I know which side will win? I'm not a poker master." The white-haired old man answered angrily, and then picked up a glass of red wine on the table.

"I heard from the team doctor that you should drink less alcohol. Can't you just pour a glass of juice? Or heat a glass of milk?"

The old man ignored the young man's resistance, but buried his nose in the mouth of the cup and took a deep breath, "I am very healthy, and I will not retire even after you retire."

"Wow! Chris Paul's breakthrough shot is really wonderful! He found David West in the crowd, and West didn't hesitate to take a big step and dunk it! Look at West's expression, haha, Haslem and Battier must be in a bad mood right now!" At this time, the voice on the TV suddenly increased.

"Damn it, doesn't Mike Brin have a sore throat? Shouting so loud scared me." The old man shook his head, then took a sip of his wine.

"The Heat's inside line is simply vulnerable." The young man muttered, unlike the old man, even in the face of a wonderful scene, he didn't have any expression on his face.

"That's because the Heat's speed has not been raised. Henson has a good selection. He can maintain both height and speed on the court. If the Pacers are a traditional two-tower team, believe me, once the Heat play fast, the Pacers' defense will not work at all. And West and Horford, they are both very sensitive insiders."

While speaking, the match on the TV had gone on for the last 2 minutes.Seeing Battier play, David West naturally would not let go of this opportunity to "torture" his old opponent.He turned over and hit a jumper to give the Pacers an 83-69 lead of 2 points with 14 minutes left in the game.

This means that throughout the fourth quarter, the Heat almost did not close the point difference.At the beginning of the fourth quarter, the point difference was 16 points, and there were 2 minutes left in the fourth quarter, and the point difference was 14 points. Great despair was written on Spoelstra's face, and Henson said that he would take away the game in a wave in the third quarter, and it almost became a reality.

After that, James and Wade stood up.In the critical moment, Wade and James returned two goals, but just like any moment in this quarter, whenever the Heat look like they are about to rise, bad luck will always come!

Still Paul, he didn't lose face in front of his two good brothers.A three-pointer at a critical moment made the Heat fall again.And when the game was about to end with 33 seconds left, the score of 88 to 73 was enough to end the suspense.

After that, Spoelstra called a stoppage.Mike Breen shook his head, it's garbage time.

"This guy's ability to control the game is really extraordinary." The old man took another sip of wine, then picked up the glass and shook it gently.

"So, do you think the Pacers can win in the end?"

"I didn't say it, you said it yourself."

"I know, you want to seize the opportunity to educate me, tell me not to take it lightly, tell me not to underestimate any team. But you really can't lie, Pop. Look at the look of expectation on your face, I don't believe you are looking forward to a match against Spoelstra. Admit it, your expected opponent is Henson Joe!" Tim Duncan turned his head to look at Popovich, with the same look on his face.

At this time, an electronic beep sounded from the TV.Duncan glanced at the TV, 91 to 77, the Heat lost badly.And it can be said that they have lost since the third quarter.

"Yes, I'm really looking forward to meeting Henson Joe. But I really don't know which team will advance in the end. You know, LeBron is really a great athlete. I hope Henson can lead his team to the finals. We haven't met such an interesting opponent for a long time."

"You think a jerk is funny?"

When Popovich heard this, he glared at Duncan, "In the media, I'm also a bastard like Henson Joe, Tim."

"Gentlemen, here are your cookies." At this moment, Popovich's wife, Erin, walked into the living room with a plate of freshly baked cookies.

On the sofa in the living room, Popovich in pajamas and Duncan in casual clothes are sitting.The two made an appointment to watch the game together today.

"It's my cookie, Erin, not us. Tim can't eat that stuff, you know, he has to stay in shape." Popovich looked at Duncan playfully.

"Oh, it's okay to have a piece or two now and then. Go ahead, Tim." Eileen smiled sympathetically.

"Forget it, let's wait for the offseason. Once you touch these things, you can't help but want to eat a few more dollars. I don't want to disturb my physical condition, after all, our next opponent." Duncan said, looking at the TV.At this time, Henson was being interviewed by the ESPN beauty reporter.

"... After all, our next opponent is quite strong. Isn't it, Pop?"

3 to 2, the defending champion Indiana Pacers got the match point.Once again Coach Henson executed his plan flawlessly and once again took control of the game.

Of course, he doesn't know yet.Once again, he was being watched by others.
