Chapter 604 602: I will teach you a lesson, remember it well

When Durant had helped defend the basket and Draymond Green was about to shrink inside, no one thought that Antetokounmpo would unconventionally use a step-back jumper to execute the last shot.

What is even more unexpected is that after Antetokounmpo made the shot, before the basketball hit the net, he opened his arms and ran to the bench.

In the history of the NBA, there have been acts of celebrating goals in advance.Among them, Arenas is the most handsome. He turned around and celebrated before the basketball hit the net, which is still talked about even now.

Of course, such a high-risk behavior naturally also has examples of failure to pretend, such as Nick Young.He once imitated Arenas to celebrate a goal in advance, but when he turned his back, the basketball came out of the frame embarrassingly.This scene can be regarded as the biggest joke of Nick Young's career.

Can Antetokounmpo's early celebration this time be successful?At that moment, Antetokounmpo didn't even think about whether it would succeed.Because at that time, his self-confidence was bursting.When Henson had just laid out his tactics, the "prediction" was correct in all possible details.

And the fulfillment of these things one by one is the source of Antetokounmpo's self-confidence.Henson's "prediction" will not go wrong, so the last ball will not be missed!
"Boss!" Antetokounmpo roared, hugging the Chinese coach who had dug himself out.

Meanwhile on the court, a red light flashes on the backboard.And that orange Spalding basketball went into the net hollow!

"Lore! Lore! Lore! At the last moment of the game, Antetokounmpo used a step-back jumper to kill the Golden State Warriors! The great Pacers, the great Henson, the great Giannis! They withstood the wave of attacks from the Warriors. They won the first game in the battle against the Warriors!"

"This also means that the Golden State Warriors swallowed their first loss in the playoffs at the Banker Life Arena! The Indiana Pacers are amazing, they escaped death!" Kevin Harlan also failed to suppress the emotions in his heart.

At that moment, Steve Kerr felt that the entire Bankers Life Arena was shaking, and the stands seemed to be turning into cornfields that would churn.He patted his thigh with the tactical board unwillingly. He thought he had predicted all the situations, but he didn't expect to die under Antetokounmpo's hands in the end.

Yeah, Antetokounmpo just likes to drive to the basket, but that doesn't mean he can't shoot at all.Antetokounmpo can occasionally shoot accurately on three-pointers, let alone mid-range shots.Henson must have grasped the Warriors' mentality because Antetokounmpo wanted to score at the basket, and arranged for him a mid-range shooting tactic.

Pacers shooting coach Bruce Frazier and Cole were good friends during the Suns period, so Cole knows Frazier's ability very well.With Frazier on the team, the players can't shoot too badly.Antetokounmpo has practiced with Frazier for so many years, and he has practiced the step-back mid-range shot tens of thousands of times.

I made a mistake, I made a mistake.

Cole shook his head. It seems that after this game, it is time for him to study ways to contain Antetokounmpo.

But Cole didn't know that he was not defeated by Antetokounmpo, but by Henson.

After all, every detail of the attack just now was directed by Henson himself.

"Great job, Giannis! I knew you would end the game!" Henson almost breathed out after being hugged by Antetokounmpo, but he praised his players immediately.

"Thank you, boss, you let me have a great and perfect night." Antetokounmpo's voice was full of gratitude. He was very grateful that he was selected by the Indiana Pacers.

With 40 points in a single game, Green was limited to only 8 points. At the same time, he also staged a buzzer lore, and celebrated the victory in advance after the lore.Antetokounmpo was right, it was a great, perfect night.And it all started when Henson told him that he was going to play all-stars in the next game.

Antetokounmpo even felt that choosing to cut his salary and stay with the Pacers was the most correct decision in his life.As long as you play behind Henson, you won't tend to be mediocre!
After the game, countless reporters carried cameras and surrounded Henson and Antetokounmpo who were tightly embracing each other.But of course, the reporters haven't forgotten about the Warriors' players and coaches.

Steve Kerr was very helpless when facing the camera. He wanted to satirize Henson as an outdated coach, but now he had to praise his opponent against his will.

"Coach Henson's tactics were very unexpected, and the final lore was also very unexpected. We met a strong opponent, but we will not give up." Cole left disheartened after finishing speaking, without any praise for the opponent's sincerity.So, he is not a gentleman at all.

Stephen Curry was naturally also very helpless. His last step-back three-pointer against Paul should have been the best goal of the game, and he should have been the biggest hero of the game.But all of this was ruined by Antetokounmpo.

"What else can I say? We need to keep working hard. I didn't play well today, but the Pacers can't expect me to do this every day." Curry spread his hands, a little disapprovingly.In his opinion, the Warriors seem to have not yet started to exert their strength.

The most embarrassing thing on the Warriors side is undoubtedly Draymond Green.He shot 25% of the game, and let his matchup score 40 points + lore game.And Antetokounmpo's lore goal, he was shaken to eat shit.

But these are not the most terrible thing. The most terrible thing is that Green has just released harsh words before the game.

"Don't expect to attack the best defensive player at a critical moment to win the game. If Henson does that, he will look down on me. And I will use my actions to make him regret it."

These are the original words of Draymond Green at the time, but today, he successfully used his actions to achieve Antetokounmpo, and slapped himself by the way.

From now on, Antetokounmpo will step on Green's "corpse" and step into the ranks of the league's top superstars!
"Draymond, do you think you managed to make Coach Henson pay?"

"Green, did you slip or be shaken at the last moment?"

"How do you respond to having Antetokounmpo score 40 points today?"

Each of Green's embarrassing questions made him pretend to be very angry and quickly leave the player's field.

But even so, Green still could not escape the fate of being ridiculed.

Half an hour later, in the media reception room of the Bankers Life Arena, when Henson attended the press conference, he was asked several questions about Green.

"Coach Henson, was the lore tactic you arranged for Antetokounmpo at the last moment specially designed to deal with Green?"

Facing this question, Henson had a serious expression on his face, "No."

But just after finishing his answer, Henson tilted his head again, "Well, I have to admit, yes. I did it on purpose for the last attack. Everyone saw it. I hope Green's jaw didn't get broken in half."

After Henson teased Green about being knocked over, the reporters burst into laughter.

"Are you doing this because of what he said before the game? Let me repeat to you what he said before the game."

"No," before the reporter finished speaking, Henson waved his hand, "There's no need to repeat it, I know what he said. Giannis' goal today undoubtedly taught him a lesson. Remember, Draymond Green, when you're playing against the Pacers, you'd better keep your big mouth shut. Today, you will end up with your mouth."

The reporters were extremely excited, first with Pachulia, and now with Green.Sure enough, there will never be a lack of topics in the finals with Henson.

Reporters are already anticipating how Green will respond to Henson tomorrow.

But Henson is not hopeful, because if Green is smart enough.

He probably didn't dare to make any more responses.
