591 Chapter 589: When the facial paralysis has an expression
113 to 91, in fact, the point difference in this game is much bigger than James imagined.

In the whole game, Paul George scored 34 points and 8 rebounds.Among them, the goal that knocked James down and hit a three-pointer was broadcast by major sports channels.And this video is also among the best played on sports portals around the world.

Only then did people remember that Paul George, a top scorer, is not a good player.The Cavaliers' guard line can't hinder George at all.

In addition to George, Antetokounmpo's 23 points and Paul's 15 points and 13 assists are also very impressive.It can be said that the Pacers played a double success of team basketball and individual basketball.

In contrast to the Cleveland Cavaliers, their performance is not so ideal.

Accustomed to Thomas Jr.'s weak defense, Irving was obviously underprepared when facing Paul.Irving made only 11 of 4 shots in the game and only scored 11 points.As the No. 11 player of the Cavaliers, the contribution of [-] points is obviously not enough.

Love's performance was pretty good, with 20 points and 12 rebounds, scoring a double-double.But the contribution of 20 points is of very limited help to the Cavaliers.

James scored 25 points in the game, and was blasted into scum by George.The joint defense of Antetokounmpo and George deflated James, who has always been used to rampage.

As for the rest of the Cavaliers, their performance was even more "excellent".Korver made 6 of 1 shots and only scored 3 points.Shumpert seemed to be infected by Korver. He also made 6 of 1 shots and only scored 3 points.

Deron, Derek Williams and Richard Jefferson, the three "out-of-date trio" together only scored 5 points.How bad the Cavaliers' performance can be seen at a glance by looking at the data.

The day after the game, the whole world overwhelmingly praised the Pacers to the altar.No matter how powerful LeBron James is, he still hasn't defeated Henson once.There is no doubt that this has greatly enhanced Henson's historical status.

Especially when the Cavaliers just won the championship last season.

Henson grinned as he read the reports praising the Pacers in the head coach's office.After working hard for a season, he finally got the result he wanted.

Now, the Pacers can easily deal with the Cavaliers.This also means that his team has the ability to fight the Warriors.

Speaking of the Warriors, tonight, the first game of the Western Conference Finals will also start.The Golden State Warriors will play against the Spurs led by Henson's old friend Gregg Popovich.Although Henson really wants to compete with the Warriors at the top, although all the preparations Henson has made now are to deal with the Warriors.

But from the heart, Henson would rather waste all his preparations and hope that the Spurs can advance.

After all, Henson and Popovich have a very good personal relationship.And Leonard is also Henson's lover.

Personally, Henson wants his friend to win.Considering the game, the Spurs are not as scary as the Warriors.Therefore, it is understandable that Henson hopes that the Spurs will advance.

This is likely to be the first time that Henson looks forward to the Western Conference Finals like a fan.

In the past few years, Henson was too busy dealing with the Heat, let alone worrying about the Western Conference Finals.Also, Henson was indifferent to who made it from the Western Conference Finals in the past.Anyway, in the end it was all about defeating them.

But this year is different. Henson has already made up his mind in the Eastern Conference finals.As for the Western Conference finals, Henson also has a team to support.So tonight, he decided to go home early.

Although he is an NBA head coach, although Henson has to watch countless game videos every year.But in fact, he didn't know how long he hadn't watched a live broadcast of an NBA game.

Therefore, Henson specifically explained to McMillan and Becky Harmon today, "No player is allowed to stay for additional training, and let them go home obediently after training."

Today, Henson intends to be a fan comfortably.

※※※

Although the Spurs' paper lineup is not as strong as the Warriors, although the outside world also generally looks down on the Spurs.But honestly, Henson thinks the Spurs still have a shot at winning.

After all, that team was coached by Gregg Popovich.

In the last round, the Spurs were able to eliminate the Rockets led by MVP candidate Harden with a total score of 4 to 2, which shows that their strength is actually stronger than imagined.

Before today's game started, Popovich said a word, "We have always won the championship when we are not optimistic."

Yeah, the San Antonio Spurs are such a team.They are never vigorous, but always take the championship slowly and leisurely.

In short, the same sentence: "Warriors must not feel that they are stable."

After the game started, the situation was similar to Henson's imagination.

The Spurs scored 5 points at the beginning of the game, but then Curry, Thompson and Green scored successively, allowing the score to be overtaken.

Subsequently, the Spurs twin towers Aldridge and Gasol both began to exert their strength, using softness to overcome rigidity, scoring frequently inside the Warriors.

Then, Durant made another sudden penalty to close the score.
The game between the Spurs and the Warriors set the tone from the very beginning. The two sides played each other offensively and defensively, taking the lead alternately.Mike Breen also jokingly said in the commentary, "The situation in the Western Conference Finals is completely opposite to that of the Eastern Conference Finals."

As boring as the Pacers' game against the Cavaliers yesterday was, the Spurs' game against the Warriors was as intense today.

Henson watched with gusto, there is no doubt about the strength of the Warriors, and Popovich's exquisite tactics also made Henson applaud.

The two teams entangled until the 7th minute of the third quarter, and without warning, a turning point occurred.

At this time, Leonard, who had scored 26 points and 8 rebounds in three quarters, held the ball and played a screen with Aldridge.

Today, Leonard's performance made Henson feel extremely gratified.Although he is no longer a Pacers player, a sense of accomplishment rose from the bottom of Henson's heart after watching that kid grow up to what he is today.

Since Aldridge feels hot today, the Warriors are very tight on his defense.Durant switched directly to Aldridge who set up a screen, and Georgia center Zaza Pachulia switched to Leonard.

Faced with this small opportunity to play big, Leonard suddenly stopped and retreated a jumper.Henson remembers Leonard's shooting being a mess.But now, he has been able to use these shooting skills with confidence.

Pachulia jumped on it aggressively, but due to the angle of view, Henson couldn't see exactly what happened.He only saw Leonard fall directly to the ground after shooting, and then screamed.

Then, the referee's rapid whistle sounded.Leonard clutched his ankle and sat on the ground, and Henson was shocked.

The big thing is bad!

After a while, ESPN gave the playback screen just now.I don't know if I don't watch it, but after watching the replay, Henson felt shocking.

I saw Pachulia deliberately took a few steps forward when he was interfering with Leonard's shot.His few steps forward were unnatural and unnecessary.

Just like that, Leonard stomped hard on Pachulia's top instep.Leonard's ankle suddenly twisted at a very exaggerated angle, and then fell to the ground in pain.

Anyone who has played basketball knows that if you step on something else when you land, it is very easy to get injured.As for Pachulia, this is undoubtedly letting Leonard stretch his foot over on purpose to let Leonard step on it.

In other words, Pachulia is an estimated hurtful act with no professional ethics at all!
Henson is also a person who can do whatever it takes to win, but deliberately hurting people is his bottom line.Unlike George Karl, he would encourage his players to cripple the opponent.No matter how despicable Henson is, he will not harm a player's health for the sake of victory.

"This bastard!" Angry Henson yelled, startling An Jiali who was teasing Emily.

She had never seen Henson so angry in front of his family.

Then, with the support of his teammates, Leonard limped off the court.It seems that he has no way to continue the game

Leonard hugged his head in frustration, he never liked to show his emotions.Unless, it is really out of control.Seeing this scene, Henson felt a twinge in his heart.

Leonard must know how badly he was injured this time.Otherwise, with his personality, he wouldn't show his frustration on his face!
With 26 points in three quarters, the Spurs still lead.But it was a great situation, now it's all gone
Sure enough, after losing Leonard, the Warriors quickly took control of the game.Even Popovich will struggle to match the Warriors without Leonard.

In the end, the Warriors successfully won the game at Oracle Arena.But because of Pachulia stepping on Leonard, in Henson's view, the Warriors' victory has no gold content at all.

"Damn it!" Henson turned off the TV, then held his forehead, trying not to let his heart get too excited.

Henson will never forget Leonard's frustrated eyes and expression just now.Although the playoffs are a stage where you can do whatever it takes to win, what Pachulia did still made Henson feel that it was too much.

The Chinese coach clenched his fists and gritted his teeth.This season, Henson has been very mild.Basically, I have never quarreled with anyone, even if it is an attack, it is only described with some sarcasm.

But now, Henson didn't want to bear it any longer.It seems that the war with the Warriors will start ahead of schedule.
