Chapter 609 Chapter 607: Gentle bastard
In the 2011-2012 season, Henson Joe was fined three times by the league, and the total amount of punishment was as high as 6 US dollars.A total of 28 times of swearing at the press conference, and 13 headlines because of the "inappropriate remarks" at the press conference.
In the 2016-2017 season, Henson Joe was not punished by the league, did not swear at the press conference, and no media used rudeness to black him.

If you hide Henson Joe's name and only look at his resume, people will definitely think that these are two completely different coaches.

However, this is actually a coaching situation in two different seasons.This season's Henson has indeed become much milder, which may be related to age. Although Henson was in his 30s before, his mental age is actually in his 20s. It is normal to be a little frivolous.

But now Henson's body is almost 40, and after experiencing so many things, his mental age has also increased a lot.Therefore, this season, Henson has focused more on winning.

Therefore, when Steve Kerr said to the media after the last game that "Henson Joe is obsolete", Henson was not angry at all and did not give any response.

Because he believes that the performance of the Pacers is enough to prove whether he is really outdated.

However, at this time, in the third quarter of Game 8 of the NBA Finals, Kerr, who was [-] points behind the Pacers, must regret saying that sentence very much.

Pretending to be aggressive is cool for a while, but if you can't pretend to be aggressive, it will be very embarrassing.

At this time, the score was 80 to 88. Before the three quarters were finished, the Pacers had a chance to score 90 points.All this is not because of anything else, but because the two teams' three-pointers are too accurate.

Curry, Durant and Thompson were all fired up today, frequently hitting shots from outside the three-point line.Under normal circumstances, when the Warriors hit all three scoring points, their opponents should be unable to parry.

Today, however, the situation is exactly reversed.Since Antetokounmpo's three-pointer suddenly opened in the middle of the first quarter, the Warriors have been passive.

After that, Antetokounmpo attracted a lot of attention from the Warriors from beyond the three-point line, while Paul George and Oladipo seized the opportunity and quickly opened the score with consecutive impacts.

Good touch seems to be contagious. In the second quarter, players such as Bogdanovic, Siakam, Channing Frye and Danny Green on the bench also scored three-pointers.For a split second, the Pacers' [-]-pointers seemed comparable to the Warriors'.

In the third quarter, the two sides continued to be anxious.Curry and Durant made a lot of difficult long-range shots, but the score still can't be close, until now.

Steve Kerr is anxiously organizing the last defense of the third quarter on the sidelines. He doesn't want to enter the fourth quarter with a double-digit point difference.

At the start of today's game, Cole can still sit firmly on the Diaoyutai.But since the first quarter of the game was interrupted, he has been dancing on the sidelines.

This time was no exception, Cole clapped his hands vigorously, urging the players to concentrate.The players of the Warriors are ready to fight, and Green even posted it just after halftime. He has been scared by Antetokounmpo's three-pointer today.

Without Green inside, Paul handed the ball to Oladipo without thinking.Oladipo called a screen against Klay's defense.

Brook Lopez comes to the pick-and-roll, and Klay is the last person to defend the drive after the pick-and-roll.

Therefore, Oladipo reached the inside by virtue of the tacit understanding with Lopez and his own excellent explosive power.Facing the basket with no inside players guarding it, Oladipo jumped high.In the air, he swung his arms and exerted strength in his abdomen. After turning his arms around, he dunked the ball into the frame.

"A big windmill dunk, Oracle Arena seems to have become Oladipo's personal stage in an instant!" Mike Brin couldn't help shouting, being able to play a big windmill in an official game, it can be seen that Oladipo was almost unimpeded just now.

Instead of Oladipo, ESPN's close-ups focused on Henson and Antetokounmpo.Everyone knows that without Antetokounmpo on the outside to contain Oladipo, it is impossible to get an easy dunk opportunity.And what method did Henson use to make Antetokounmpo shoot three-pointers so accurately today?

So far, with 1.2 seconds left in the third quarter, 90 to 80, Steve Kerr must accept the fact that he was 10 points behind by an "outdated coach".

Meanwhile, Oracle Arena has grown dead silent.Henson said he wanted to show Oaklanders what despair is, so they experienced it.

Meanwhile, Mike Breen looked at Antetokounmpo's stats today.He made 6 of 5 three-pointers and scored 15 points from long-range shots alone. Durant has only scored 5 three-pointers so far, and he has taken 3 more shots than Antetokounmpo.

Is this data still Antetokounmpo?

"Victor, what did I tell you? In the official game, do as little as possible for me to do those fancy moves." During the intermission, as soon as the players left the field, Henson yelled.

Oladipo lowered his head slightly, ready to accept criticism.However, Henson was teasing him.

"But if the opponent's defense is so weak every time, then you use the most fancy moves to kill them! Good job, Victor, and everyone, you have played great so far. We are in the Warriors' home court and lead by 10 points!"

Oladipo's expression changed 180° in an instant, and the rest of the team laughed.In sharp contrast to this is the Warriors bench, Cole yelled, and the players frowned.

"I have to play five small lineups in advance. The defense is unstoppable today. Let's play against them!" Cole tapped the tactical board hard. He knew very well that as long as Antetokounmpo can still score three points, the Pacers can easily hit the basket.

Defense is hopeless, and the only chance for the Warriors now is to score against the Pacers on the fifth team.

Cole said that Henson is outdated, so if he loses to Henson, it will soon mean that he is even more outdated! ?
Cole is not willing to do this kind of self-slapping thing.

So in the fourth quarter, the fans in the Oracle Arena finally "resurrected" after seeing Cole take the five small lineups ahead of schedule.

Looking at the lineup of the Warriors on the court, Henson shook his head.Cole also said he was outdated?But in fact, isn't this similar lineup also carried forward by Henson?
During the Pacers' three consecutive championships, the Pacers' "death defense" and "death five minors" are well known to everyone.As long as Henson plays one of these two lineups, the Pacers can close the game in just two or three minutes.

What Cole is playing now is not the replica of Henson's "Five Dead".

In the fourth quarter, the Warriors launched a desperate resistance.I have to admit that the offensive firepower of the five small lineups is very fierce.And on the defensive end, Draymond Green doesn't have to follow Antetokounmpo anymore because he plays the fifth position.Now, he can defend the penalty area with peace of mind.

In addition, Iguodala's defense is very good, so Antetokounmpo's performance is a bit more difficult than the first three quarters.

But fortunately, the Pacers can also score, and they already hold a 10-point lead.So in the final decisive battle in the fourth quarter, although the Warriors finished their last bullet, even though the old Pacers David West held back and scored a three-pointer.

But the basketball game really depends on the accumulation of four quarters. Although the Warriors played well in the fourth quarter, because they fell behind too much before, they finally lost by 4 points.

The moment the electronic buzzer sounded, the entire Oracle Arena was booed.Obviously, the Warriors fans who are used to winning cannot accept the fact that the team loses at home.

Once again, when the Golden State Warriors thought that the Pacers had fallen short, they got up from the ground again, and then slapped the Warriors with a smile.

Cole now knows that the Pacers are not so easy to handle.They are like Xiaoqiang who can't be beaten to death, they can always change their ways to torture you.

"With 38 points and 13 rebounds, Giannis Antetokounmpo once again showed an MVP-level performance after the slump in the previous game. If the Pacers can finally win the championship and Giannis continues to play like this. I believe, he will become another young FMVP."

Everyone knows what Mike Brin's words mean. Almost all the young players of the Pacers rely on FMVP to be inferior to the ranks of superstars.

This was the case with George and Leonard in the past, but this year, the "torch" was passed to Antetokounmpo.

After the game, the reporters who interviewed Antetokounmpo were naturally the most.After all, his fantastic performance today is the biggest reason why the Pacers can win.

But in an interview, Antetokounmpo didn't boast about himself at all, but said "I want to thank Coach Henson."

So where is Coach Henson?Henson was blocked in the player tunnel.He only answered one question, but this question is already worth thousands of gold.

"After the victory in this game, what do you think of Coach Kerr's comments to you?"

"Steve Kerr is a trendy coach, and me, I am a coach who can win games. If he wants to be trendy, let him be trendy. I'm here to win the championship anyway."

So, Henson once again ridiculed others without using dirty words.The image of Steve Kerr was completely destroyed by Henson.

Watching Henson turn and walk into the player tunnel, the reporter smiled.

Indeed, Henson has been much milder this season.But even that doesn't change the fact that he's still an asshole.

Well, a bastard who always manages to win.
