Chapter 607 605: Boiled Frogs in Warm Water
Steve Kerr was worried about Henson's change of formation at the beginning, but when the starting five from both sides stepped onto the field, Kerr instantly let out a sigh of relief.

It's the third game of the finals, and the Pacers still haven't changed!Henson still uses the starting lineup of the previous two games, maybe he will play a star!
"Is it just so hard?" Cole joked to himself, and he suddenly felt that Henson was not as difficult to deal with as he imagined.

Maybe the Pacers were able to win three consecutive championships in the past few years, just because they haven't been the head coach yet!

"There is still no change. Henson is surprisingly calm this year. During the three consecutive championships, Henson was notoriously fond of changing formations. And his changes often caught opponents off guard. But now, he doesn't seem to like that one much." Mike Breen has watched Henson for so many years in the finals, and he knows him quite well.

Most coaches who want to change their strategy start with a change of formation.Only guys at Popovich's level can play new tricks without changing the lineup.

But who can guarantee that the current Henson can't do what Popovich is good at?
At the beginning of the game, Zaza Pachulia still won the basketball.In this series, Pachulia was surprisingly honest. He didn't make any troubles, and he didn't even participate in the war of words.

Maybe the Georgians know that the top executives of the league are staring at him after being made a fuss by Henson before.Once there is any behavior that is not "in line with the norm", he is likely to be severely punished.

Therefore, Pachulia has been relatively restrained these days, and Henson does not have to worry about his players being "artificially injured".

The Warriors' offense was exactly the same as the previous two games, with Green and Durant handling the ball, and Klay and Curry looking for opportunities without the ball.Because of the victory over the Warriors in the last game, the morale of the players is high.

At the beginning of the game, Durant made a contribution with a long shot.His three-pointer aroused the enthusiasm of the Bay Area fans, and the cheers of the entire Oracle Arena were even higher than before.

Henson shook his head helplessly. A team has two MVP-level players. What the Warriors did was almost cheating.

This kind of lineup, Henson can't even imagine when playing NBA2K game.So, sometimes reality is more magical than virtual world.

After the ball, Henson gestured to Paul.Paul knowingly carried the ball across the half court and quickly handed it to Antetokounmpo.At the same time, others pulled away to give Antetokounmpo room to play singles.

This scene looked very familiar, and it made Cole very happy.

Sure enough, they are still playing one star and four stars!
Antetokounmpo's impact was finally resolved by Green and Durant with ease, and Cole sat back on the bench easily.If Henson is really so strong, the Warriors can win the game in three quarters today!
"Henson, is it really okay?" McMillan asked worriedly. Although he already knew all of Henson's strategies, he still felt that it was too bold.

Henson didn't answer, but just waved his hands with a frown.It's okay to be behind at the beginning, as long as the Warriors can get the bait, everything is worth it!
Subsequently, Stephen Curry also began to show off.He used Durant's cover to shake out a little space, and then directly shot a three-pointer.Paul couldn't match Curry's shot. The guy's shot was weirdly timed and shot fast.If Paul were to choose one of the league's most difficult point guards to defend, he would definitely write Curry's name.

As a result, the Warriors hit a three-pointer for the second consecutive round.For these two three-pointers, both Durant and Curry succeeded without completely shaking out the space.But this is the Golden State Warriors. When they feel hot, they don't reason with you.

"It seems that the Warriors back at home feel very hot today. This is not good news for Coach Henson. He must improve the team's offensive efficiency!" Kevin Harlan on the commentary stand was anxious for Henson, but Mike Breen kept thinking about it.

What on earth are you planning on doing?Henson Joe.

In the Pacers' second attack, Paul assisted George, who got a chance by running without the ball, to make a successful mid-range shot.

Although breaking the scoring drought, the 2-6 point difference is still very unfavorable to the Pacers.And in the offense just now, the Pacers didn't make any more shots. This seems to be a compromise and a kind of helplessness.

Popovich swung his glass, thinking about the line: "I'm going to make Antetokounmpo shoot [-]-pointers."

As we all know, Antetokounmpo and three-pointers have been missed.He can shoot [-]s, but at a terrible rate.So, what reason does Henson have for Antetokounmpo to shoot a three-pointer?And as far as it is now, Henson has no intention of wanting Antetokounmpo to shoot a three-pointer at all.

"That guy is playing himself?" Popovich thought to himself. "No, he must have a second hand. Henson is not playing himself, but Cole."

Even Popovich couldn't figure out what Henson wanted to do. The old man believed that Cole couldn't guess it either.

The game just played for 5 minutes with the Warriors' three-pointers and the Pacers struggling. After 5 minutes, the Warriors still led the Pacers by 6 points.

Today, Curry, Durant and Clay all made three-pointers.All three of them are feeling hot, and they seem determined to let the Pacers lose two games in a row.

On the Pacers side, the offense was very sluggish.There is no need to play one star and four shots, and the Pacers' offense seems to be unsystematic.If it weren't for George's repeated achievements in the middle distance, the point difference might have soared to double digits.

At this juncture, Henson called a timeout.The grandson who has been aggrieved for so long and pretended to be for so long, now it's time to fucking call him back!

"Come down quickly!" After the game was suspended, Henson immediately beckoned the players to gather around him.

"Being behind by 6 points, the Warriors guys are so proud! I know you and you are frustrated, and I am also frustrated. I can't fucking wish I can punch Cole right now. Damn, that guy's proud face really makes people angry!"

Henson's words made the players smile and feel less stressed.

"Okay, after the timeout, you don't need to hide anymore. The Warriors have already bit the hook. They thought they had bitten the fruit of victory, but in fact they just bit the trap. Everything went according to the plan I arranged yesterday afternoon. Give me decisive shots. When the first quarter is over, I want Oracle Arena to be completely silent!"

"Yes, boss!" the players replied in unison.

"Very good, let's go, it's time to close the net."

The timeout ended, and Cole was still sitting on the bench.In the past 5 minutes, the Warriors have completely controlled the situation.Moreover, the touch of Curry, Thompson and Durant is also very good.

Under such circumstances, Cole doesn't think Henson can change the situation with just a timeout.So he continues to sit on the bench, not minding the camera after camera that shoots at him.

The more composed he was, the more he justified the statement that "Henson is out of date."

After the game restarted, the Pacers' offensive strategy seemed to be unchanged.Paul passed the ball to George, and George took the ball and used the screen to break through.Most of the Pacers' points in the past 5 minutes have come from this way.

But this time, George didn't make a shot, but gave the ball to Antetokounmpo, who was standing outside the three-point line, halfway through the breakthrough!

"Really?" Popovich, who was watching TV, put down his wine glass. Could it be that Henson really intends to let Antetokounmpo bet three points?

The Warriors have a very clear defensive strategy for Antetokounmpo, which is to wait for you inside.shoot?Let you vote.

After receiving the ball, Antetokounmpo saw that Green didn't push forward, so he pulled up and shot!

Green turned around and prepared to grab the rebound, but the basketball went straight into the net!Antetokounmpo hit a three-pointer, and the point difference was narrowed to three points!

"Cut." Although Antetokounmpo scored a goal, neither Green nor Cole took it seriously.

No matter how inaccurate a player is, he can score a few three-pointers in a game.Antetokounmpo scoring a three-pointer is not enough to make the Warriors feel a crisis. After all, this is not a tactic, but just luck.However, in the finals, luck is the least valuable.

Therefore, this three-pointer did not attract the attention of the Warriors.In other words, as long as Henson and Antetokounmpo think, they can still get an easy three-pointer next time.

But Henson is not betting on Antetokounmpo's three-pointer, but is very sure of his three-pointer!Because today, Henson used his only speech skill on Antetokounmpo.

Skills: Professional proficiency: Greatly improve a certain attribute of a player, which lasts for one game.

When he acquired this speaking ability, the description of "greatly improved" attracted Henson's attention.And just now, Henson used this script to improve Antetokounmpo's long-range shooting ability!Moreover, he also set up a lot of three-point shooting tactics for him.

Judging from the results just now, the effect of "greatly improved" is indeed very scary.

The reason why Henson didn't play this way at the beginning was to let the Warriors relax their vigilance against Antetokounmpo from beyond the three-point line.In this way, Antetokounmpo can get a lot of open three-pointers.

By the time the proud warriors reacted, they were not far from death!
Henson's abacus was rattling, but Cole, who was about to be killed, didn't know it, and he was sitting on the bench leisurely and pretending to be aggressive.
