Chapter 65 064: Wonderful Flowers Matching Wonderful Flowers
After playing 7 minutes in the first quarter, the Eagles have not had a good way to organize a counterattack.The inside defense they were proud of was wiped out by a simple position change by Henson.

Hibbert's inability to protect the rim certainly deprived him of one of his greatest strengths.A few minutes earlier, Larry Drew had tried to switch positions between Marvin Williams and Hibbert.However, this did not help, because the Pacers' Daniel Granger can also open the floor at the [-]th position.After changing Hibbert to guard Granger, Granger immediately responded with two singles breakthroughs with the ball.

Hibbert's speed is too slow, completely unable to keep up with the pace of outside players.Although Granger played the fourth position, Henson never said that he was an insider.

In this way, the Eagles are currently trailing 10 to 18 and entering the rotation time.After playing more than half of the first quarter, the Eagles just scored 10 points, which shows how struggling they are in this game.

When Horford once again used his passing vision to assist Holiday who cut to the basket to cause a foul and made two free throws, the Pacers widened the point difference to double digits in just one quarter.

Larry Drew had to stop the game again. He played seven and a half minutes in the first quarter, 8 minutes faster.The Pacers are about to start a rotation lineup, and Drew decided to keep Joe Johnson and Josh Smith on the court.If Horford goes off the court, the Pacers' plan to space the floor will surely stall.At that time, it is the opportunity for the Eagles to chase points!

"Strengthen the offense, Joe, Josh, increase your individual shots! We must tie the score before the end of the first quarter!"

Accompanied by Larry Drew's loud shout, the electronic buzzer sounded again, and the game restarted.

The Eagles replaced Bibby with a young Jeff Teague.Georgia center Pachulia replaced Hibbert, Maurice Evans played small forward, and Josh was pushed to the four.

This lineup is extremely aggressive and undiminished in strength.To Drew's delight, Horford really ended up.Henson replaced Hinrich, Stephenson, Danny Green and Josh McRoberts.Among the starting five, only Daniel Granger, the leader, was left.

Larry Drew waved his hand, and the chance to tie the score came!
"Josh McRoberts is a power forward produced by Duke. This year is his fourth year in his career. To my surprise, Coach Henson actually pushed Mike Roberts to the fifth position. You know, rebounding, defense, and low-post offense are not McRoberts' strong points. Is there really no problem for such a player to play the fifth position?" Bill Wharton looked at McRoberts. Even more weird tricks.

In the Eagles' first offense, Joe started his own personal offensive mode in singles.Since Larry Drew has said that he will attack aggressively next time, what worries does Johnson have?

After a butterfly piercing through the three-point line, Joe Johnson found that the number one in front of him was motionless.Stephenson is like a stone statue, and Joe Johnson is like a clown dribbling in front of the stone statue.

Johnson changed hands and suddenly turned to the left, but he didn't know that Stephenson's "stone statue" moved, firmly blocking Johnson's breakthrough route.

Joe Johnson made a turnaround jumper, a turnaround jumper just one step inside the three-point line.This kind of shot selection is probably only possible for singles Joe.

However, even in this position, Stephenson's defense has not let up in the slightest.He stuck to it tightly, raised his arm to cover Joe Johnson's shot.Although Johnson finally managed to make a shot, the basketball missed and the shot wasn't even a chance.It seemed that Joe Johnson had underestimated the silly rookie in front of him.

Granger won the fight and secured the defensive rebound.Caucasian point guard Hinrich holds the ball forward, and once frustrated in Atlanta, he is eager to regain his status in Indiana this season.

While the Pacers' offense is playing fast, everyone's running is methodical.There are always cuts on both sides, and the center always runs from the middle to the top of the arc.Sometimes even Mike Breen doesn't know whether Henson is playing a positional game or a fast break.Because fast-break running is generally relatively free, and only positional warfare requires precise running.But Henson, he combined the precise running of positional warfare with a fast-paced offense, which is why the Pacers' offensive efficiency remains high.

Mike Roberts replaced Horford just now. As a fifth player, he still stood at the top of the arc outside the three-point line, which made Larry Drew extremely sick.Yes, disgusting!For the first time, he felt that the inside line that can open up space is so difficult to deal with!

Pachulia let McRoberts take a few steps, and Horford can shoot three-pointers, doesn't it mean that Mike Roberts can also shoot three-pointers?

Seeing this situation, McRoberts did not hesitate, and directly fired from a long distance.But maybe because of the reason he just played, Mike Roberts's shot did not hit.Larry Drew swung his arm violently. Sure enough, without Horford, Henson's space-opening tactics would not have been able to work at all!
With Mike Roberts' missed shot, Pachulia assisted Josh Smith with a long pass and scored a dunk!Although Josh's shooting is not good, but he is as strong as James, and he is definitely a sharp knife in the transition attack.This dunk like a roc spreading its wings boosted the morale of the Eagles!
"Coach Henson can't play like this all the time. Why did he send in a center who plays like a guard!? The Pacers' bench is clearly sitting on a tough center like Jeff Fortes!" Bill Wharton was annoyed, let the big man float on the outside, but let the outside go to the basket, what is this?
However, Mike Roberts' iron strike just now and Bill Wharton's complaints did not seem to change Henson's mind. Mike Roberts is a weird insider, just as weird as Henson.

As a player at the fourth position, Mike Roberts does not have any qualities of an inside player.His two biggest functions are support and long-range shooting.That's right, support, a tall "magician" who can assist teammates on the field like a defender.

Therefore, the use of Mike Roberts must also be bold.First, you have to let Mike Roberts handle the ball like a point guard.At the same time, the coach's tactical training is better, because only in this way can the teammates' running without the ball be dense.Mike Roberts' passing skills can only work if his teammates are running.

Therefore, under most coaches, Mike Roberts can't make a name for himself.With the first condition alone, many coaches cannot satisfy him.After all, apart from the "crazy" Henson, who would be willing to let the big man hold the ball on the offensive end?
Good at discovering and using players, Henson's formation in this game allowed him to use this point to the extreme.

When the Georgian Pachulia once again confidently shrunk to the free throw line to defend Mike Roberts, the white forward produced by Duke fired decisively again!This is the right that Henson gives to all Pacers players. No matter you are a star player or a substitute, as long as there is an open space, even if the open space is far from the basket, you also have the right to shoot!

"Is this guy an idiot?" Pachulia couldn't help complaining, and turned to close the board.As everyone knows, the basketball passed through the net, and his inaction made him look like an idiot.

"Yes! A three-pointer! No matter what you say, Bill. The Pacers took the lead, this is a fact!" Mike Breen also felt that Henson's style of play was a bit weird, but as long as he can lead and win, is the tactic really that important?

This three-pointer opened up the score that had just been forced closer.Although Mike Roberts' shooting is not as stable as Horford's, it can also play a tactical role.As long as a goal is scored, it is enough to deter the opponent and pull the opponent's center out of the penalty area.

Then, Stephenson and Danny Green used their enthusiasm to cut to score.And it was Mike Roberts who assisted them.

In this way, after the first quarter, the Pacers led the Eagles by 25 points 14 to 11.Henson may be one of the few coaches who can guarantee the same tactics even if he uses a rotation lineup.

In the interior offense, the Eagles did not have any advantage.After all, the defenses of Mike Roberts and Horford are not bad.

Pachulia thought that Mike Roberts was easy to bully, but only after confronting him did he realize that this white insider was no less aggressive than himself.

In the first quarter, Henson had already established the tone of the game.His style of playing in the air left the Eagles at a loss.

Unless Larry Drew can trade a few players now, the Pacers will be sure of this victory!
