Chapter 386 Chapter 384: The Envious Eyes of Alliance No.1
88 to 73, 15 points difference.It's hard for you to imagine that a team with the Big Three only scored 73 points in a single game.And the 15-point difference is also the game with the biggest difference between the two sides so far in the series.

Henson's "third quarter plan" successfully killed the Heat, and the Heat were exhausted throughout the fourth quarter.However, Henson's ability to control the game made it impossible for the Heat, who fell behind too much at the beginning of the third quarter, to recover.

So far, the Pacers have won the match point of the series with a total score of 3 to 2.Although the next game will be played in Miami, the Heat are sitting on home court advantage.But everyone knows that the Big Three are in danger again!
But at this time, far away in San Antonio, Popovich has started daily training again after giving the team two days off.As a result, media opening hours have also returned to normal.

As an old team with championship background, but at the same time, its results are somewhat beyond people's expectations. The media opening period during the Spurs training today undoubtedly attracted a large number of reporters to the scene.

In addition to being very concerned about the state of the Spurs themselves, the reporters are also naturally curious about which opponent the Spurs hope to meet in the finals.

"None of the opponents is good. The Indiana Pacers and the Miami Heat are not easy to mess with. If you can give me the O'Brien Cup directly, that would be the best choice. Of course, this question itself is very stupid. Because I don't have the right to choose an opponent at all." Facing the camera, Popovich, who had grown a beard, still had that joking expression.

"So do you think the Pacers can win in Miami in the next game? They have already got the match point, and if they win another game, they can advance to the finals!"

"Good question, but I can't answer it. You go out and turn right to the gate of the stadium, then take a taxi and go to the riverside promenade to find a tarot master who sells stalls. They are better at prophecy than me." Popovich pointed to the gate of the arena solemnly.

The reporters burst into laughter, including the reporter who asked the question himself.This may be the difference between Popovich and Henson. Although Popovich's answer is not marginal, it can always make people laugh.And Henson's answer usually makes reporters want to kill him.

After being interviewed by reporters, Popovich returned to his serious expression.San Antonio Spurs, although people say that the Spurs are an ivy, but in fact Popovich is very clear that his Spurs have been silent for too long.

自06-07赛季夺得总冠军之后，马刺已经很多年没有尝试过总决赛的味道了。07-08、08-09、09-10三个赛季，是属于凯尔特人和湖人的。其中，马刺队在09-10赛季，甚至险些没能打进季后赛。那一年，他们的常规赛战绩和年轻的俄克拉荷马雷霆持平。

At that time, people began to say that GDP is old, and Popovich is also old.The Spurs have started to crumble, and they have to start rebuilding.

However, the tough Spurs told everyone with practical actions that you are all farting!
In the next two seasons, the San Antonio Spurs rebounded and won the first place in the Western Conference in the regular season for two consecutive years.Until this year, it was surpassed by the Oklahoma City Thunder who realized their talents.Of course, the Spurs' record this season is still excellent, ranking second in the Western Conference!
Last season, the Spurs were actually very hopeful of reaching the Finals.As everyone knows, he was defeated by Thunder Three's "Shao".And this year, with the Thunder out early and the Lakers in dilapidated F4, the Spurs finally stood on the stage of the finals again after many years!

Popovich is very clear that these two years are almost their last chance to win the championship.Because after these two years, the San Antonio Spurs will really grow old.Therefore, he will not let go of any chance to win the championship.It doesn't matter whether it's the Big Three or Henson Joe standing in front of him!
"Haven't you all eaten!? Stand up, training continues!" Popovich yelled, and no player dared to sit on the training ground.

Seeing Popovich's serious look, Duncan moved his head to Ginobili's side expressionlessly.The originally long-haired Argentine was already bald on the top of his head, and he didn't know if it was the reason why he was often touched by Duncan.

"I bet you, Manu. The boss must have regarded the Indiana Pacers as our imaginary opponent in the finals!"

Hearing what Duncan said, Ginobili waved his hands, "Impossible, the boss usually makes two preparations."

"Yeah, but that was when he didn't know who would win. But now, he knows who will win in the end."

Hearing Duncan's answer, Ginobili stared at the expressionless "nerd" in surprise.Are the Pacers this season so strong?

※※※

Time has entered June, which is Henson's favorite month of the year. June means the coming of summer, the finals, championship trophies, glory, carnival, draft and holidays.

And LeBron James and his team will definitely not like this June, because at this time they have been pushed to the edge of the cliff at home, and they are extremely anxious.

In the battle of life and death, if you lose, you will be full of regrets throughout the summer, your hard work for a season will be in vain, and the 27-game winning streak in the regular season will also become meaningless.For the Big Three, the status quo is as simple as that.It will all be over in Miami, where the Heat had their best regular-season record.

"We didn't bring too much luggage, because after this game, we will go back to Indianapolis to prepare for the finals battle!" Before the game started, Henson answered firmly in front of the camera.

In the past 5 games, Henson can be said to have mastered all the changes and tactics of the Heat.He could try a few different ways to get the Heat into trouble.

Indeed, in people's minds, the Heat seem to be the team with more stars.But in fact, the Pacers have already cultivated many strong players on their own.

The first team of the year in the 12-13 season, Chris Paul is impressively listed.Of course, Paul George's name also appeared in the third team.In the best defense, Chris Reservation is still not absent.In the best defensive second team, Paul George is also on the list.

Even the Miami Heat have not achieved such an achievement this year.Wade, like George, only made one of the best three teams.As for the best defensive team, the Heat did not have a second player besides James selected.

Not to mention, almost everyone in the Pacers can stand up and play.The bench depth of David West, Horford, Livingston, and Ray Allen is not comparable to that of Mike Miller and Battier.

Under the circumstances that both tactics and lineup are not inferior, Henson naturally has the confidence to end the game in Miami.

It's just that the local fans in Miami still don't believe in this evil.

As soon as the sixth game started, Henson sat on the bench, crossing his legs leisurely.And Spoelstra is very irritable, from the first second of the game, there is no rest.

His irritability is also reflected in the team.

The Heat started off with an all-out fast offense, eager to play a fast-paced, high-scoring game.This trick allowed the Heat to win 27 consecutive victories in the regular season, but facing the Pacers' defense, the effect was not very good.

The Heat's onslaught only lasted 5 minutes. After Wade hit two consecutive goals, the Heat started 12-6.However, the rapid offense also led to an increase in the Heat's turnovers, and the Pacers seized the opportunity to start a counterattack!
With 4 minutes and 18 seconds left in this section, Leonard grabbed the offensive rebound from Battier's head with his long arms, and succeeded in dunking with both hands!So far, the Pacers have completed a 9-2 attack wave and overtook the score 15-14!

Since Bosh was slapped in the face for saying big things in the first game, his performance in the entire series has not been good.He is still in mediocre form today, only 8 of 1 shots in the first quarter.It seems that in today's key battle, Spoelstra can't count on Bosh.Fortunately, Wade was in excellent form today. With 45 seconds left in this quarter, Wade made a fast break after a steal, passed Stephenson with a stride in the frontcourt, and then dunked with both hands!

At that moment, the entire American Airlines Center was cheering.In the case of knee injuries, being able to play this kind of offense that seems to have returned to the peak undoubtedly makes the Heat fans very excited.After the first quarter, the Heat trailed by only 19 points 21-2.

But Wade's beautiful offense at the end of the first quarter was just the last fig leaf for the Heat in Henson's view.

In the second quarter of the game, Henson began to show the bottomless depth of the team's bench.Last summer, Henson picked up Ray Allen, a great shooter, ahead of Pat Riley in the café.Today, Ray Allen's performance undoubtedly made Pat Riley very annoyed!He really regretted why he didn't act earlier last summer.

As soon as Ray Allen came up in the second quarter, he made a three-pointer on Wade's head!With 8 minutes and 47 seconds left in this section, Allen made a second three-pointer, which was the prelude to the Pacers' point-breaking.Leonard then dunked alley-oop, giving the Pacers a 33-27 lead!

Ray Allen's three-pointer seemed to be a signal, and everyone in the Pacers focused their firepower.Horford also hit a three-pointer in the middle of the quarter, which gave the Pacers a 39-29 lead by double digits.After Bosh's 3 fouls left the court to rest, Henson stepped up his attack on the basket.At the end of the second quarter, Ray Allen ended with another three-pointer, which can be described as an echo from beginning to end.The Pacers ended this section with a wave of 11 to 3, widening the gap 52 to 37 in one fell swoop!However, under the impetuous offense and many mistakes of the Heat, they only made one goal in the last 3 minutes and 30 seconds of this section!
This time without the third quarter, Henson almost killed the Heat in the second quarter!

"The Heat were at a disadvantage in rebounding in the first half of the game. The most frightening thing was that they made 15 turnovers in just half the game! They were too impatient, but the more impatient they were, the more detrimental they were to the game!" Kenny Smith spread his hands. He did not expect that the crucial sixth game would turn out like this.

Everyone understands the truth, but in real games, players sometimes can't control their mentality at all.The Heat want to win too much, and the Big Three have waited too long for the championship.But the Pacers are not the kind of team you can win in one go.

As it turned out, Spoelstra's halftime speech didn't pan out.Because of the situation in the second half of the game, there were not many changes compared with the first half.Henson suppressed the Heat to death, and the Big Three have never been so embarrassed.

In the last 3 minutes and 45 seconds of the game, Spoelstra replaced all the main players.Because at this time, the Pacers have already led the Miami Heat by 30 points!
Even LeBron James couldn't recover the 4-point difference in less than 30 minutes.

At that moment, the boos in the American Airlines Arena reached their peak.I don't know whether they are booing the Heat or the Pacers.The performance of the Heat in the finals of this season is undoubtedly disappointing. In other words, the strength of the Pacers is beyond people's expectations.

The Heat didn't even make it to Game [-] before losing.And in the last two games, they both lost by a big score!
When there are no secrets and changes between the two sides, the strength gap will also be reflected.

James, who was sitting on the bench, stared blankly, turning his head to look at the Chinese coach in the other half from time to time.

As No.1 in the league, James sometimes really envies Henson.at least.
At least, they are going to the finals again.
