Chapter 659 Chapter 657: If you have strength, you can do whatever you want

"Greg Popovich: Henson Joe is changing the game of basketball."

"Pat Riley: Can't believe the Pacers were able to pull off such an advanced move."

"Steve Kerr: Henson Joe created a new era, and the difficulty for us to win the championship has increased a lot."

"Larry Bird: Henson left more than a championship for the basketball world! He is the greatest coach ever."

The Pacers defeated the Rockets 128 to 109. This game is the focus of attention.However, after the game, Henson Joe became popular all over the world.

Because of the lineup he used in this game, people have never seen it before!

And unlike the Warriors, the Warriors' small lineup and focus on three-pointers can actually be emulated by many teams.But Henson's style of play cannot be imitated by all teams.

After all, you need five players who are well-balanced in terms of physical condition and personal ability to form such a lineup.And not all teams have the same staffing as the Pacers.

In other words, although Henson has created a brand new style of play, it is obviously a style of play that can win.But other teams want to learn, but they can't learn at all.

To create an ultimate lineup, the conditions are very harsh.This one is the only one that can produce results!This shows how groundbreaking Henson's move was.

When Henson went to work the next day, his Cadillac was stopped by a group of reporters before he entered the underground parking lot.

If the arena security hadn't appeared in time to help Henson out, Henson would probably be late for the first time today.

After entering the arena, the players also talked about the victory of yesterday's game.If you accidentally made history, who can calm down.

But Henson's appearance quickly calmed everyone down.Everyone knows that if you don't train well, you will sit on the bench.

After training in the morning, during the media opening period at noon, the training ground was full of reporters.

It can be said that this formation is similar to that when Henson announced that he will retire after this season.

"Coach Henson, with such a magic weapon in hand, will you still choose to retire?"

"Don't you want to win a few more championships?"

"Can you talk about your team building ideas? Since when did you plan to build such a lineup?"

Just like yesterday, almost all the reporters on the training ground surrounded Henson.As for other players, few reporters interviewed them.

The players all smiled helplessly. In Indianapolis, there is only one protagonist forever.
Of course, Henson's changes have also attracted a lot of criticism.Among them, the most talked about is, "Can defenders be reused under Coach Henson?"

Oladipo, who has just returned from injury, is considered an embarrassing target.The team played so well when you were injured, and it can even be said to have made history. Can Oladipo not be embarrassed?

Therefore, there are many rumors on the market, claiming that many Pacers defenders have lost Henson's trust and will be abandoned.

In response, Henson did not give any response.Not because he was guilty, but because he really didn't want to be distracted by these mentally retarded remarks.

※※※

On November 11, at the American Airlines Center Arena, Pat Riley has been looking forward to the arrival of this game.

Because today, the team that is a guest in Miami is the Indiana Pacers!
Tickets for today's game have long been sold out, and everyone wants to see with their own eyes how powerful the ultimate lineup is.And Pat Riley is also looking forward to it.

He really couldn't believe that the concept of future basketball in his mind had actually become a reality.

Before the game, in addition to discussing the ultimate lineup, the media were also discussing the topic of Oladipo and other defenders being abandoned by Henson.But when the starting players of both sides stood in the middle circle, the reporters were stunned.

Henson did not continue to use the ultimate lineup today, but switched back to the regular lineup!
Brogdon, Oladipo, Paul George, Antetokounmpo and Brook Lopez, the lineup that Henson sent today was unremarkable.

People even didn't expect that Henson would let Oladipo, who was rumored to be abandoned, start directly.

At the beginning, everyone felt that Henson definitely wanted to win steadily, so he would not take down the ultimate lineup from the beginning.

Then there is no more then.

People waited for a whole game, but still didn't see Henson take the terrible "future lineup" to the field.

The whole game was so uneventful. "Little Wade" Oladipo, who had just returned from injury, suppressed the real Wade's 25 points and 5 assists with 13 points and 4 rebounds.

There was no surprise in the score of the two teams, 119 to 107, and the Pacers won by 12 points.

"What the hell is this guy doing!?" Pat Riley was a little puzzled in the luxury private room. Shouldn't Henson send out his strongest lineup?He just slaughtered the Rockets with that lineup yesterday, but he restrained himself today.

Of course Henson had his own considerations, he deliberately didn't want to go all the way to the dark.If you rely on the ultimate lineup so early, you will definitely be targeted in the playoffs.

Therefore, Henson only intends to activate his emergency plan in times of crisis.And this emergency plan is the ultimate lineup!

Of course, there is another very domineering reason why Henson dared to do this.For this reason, he also told reporters unabashedly at the press conference after the game.

"I still win games in a different way. So, why should I change the lineup? Also, for those who say Oladipo and other Pacers guards will be waived, take a good look at Victor's performance today!"

Henson's words caused dissatisfaction among many people, and some reporters thought Henson was too arrogant.If you don’t need the strongest lineup, if you insist on keeping one hand, you will definitely pay the price!
"This year's NBA competition is different from the past. Is Coach Henson a little too confident?"

"Of course he can choose the lineup he wants to use. After all, he is the head coach of the Pacers. But equally, he must also be responsible for all his actions!"

"Henson is great, but he would be even greater if he wasn't so proud."

From this point on, the reporters were expecting Henson to lose.As long as the Pacers lose, Henson is self-slapped.

Look, you don't need to use the strongest lineup if you are told, you lose now, right?

But the reporters have been waiting and waiting, but they have not waited for a loss for the Pacers.
After the battle with the Heat, on November 11, the Pacers beat the Eagles at home.Rose scored 17 points in that game, and Oladipo also scored 18 points.

The performance of these two people undoubtedly dispelled the rumors that "the Pacers guard was abandoned".

11月19日，步行者121比94大破爵士。爵士今天得分最高的球员是“西班牙金童”里基.卢比奥，他拿下了赛季个人得分新高的28分。

However, when a team depends on Rubio to score, you know how bad their offense is.

On the 21st, the Pacers defeated the Hornets. On the 23rd, people had great expectations for Popovich.But in the end, the Pacers won the Spurs with key goals in the last few rounds, completing the double play against the Spurs in the regular season.

It is worth mentioning that even in the last anxious moment of the game against the Spurs, Henson did not change to the ultimate lineup.

Do you think I can't win without this lineup?Then I will win for you to see!

The Pacers' winning streak continued until Nov. 11, when Henson beat another James-led team at Staples Center, and reporters hurried to check the Pacers' schedule.

However, it was discovered in despair that the Pacers' November games have all been played!Henson was stunned by all kinds of doubts, but he played a record of victory in November!
13 consecutive victories, 16 wins and 1 loss, ranking first in the league!

Now, everyone is speechless.Sometimes, being strong means being able to do whatever you want.Even without the strongest lineup you say, I can win a full month.

At this point, people are no longer concerned about whether Henson will slap himself, but are considering a more terrifying fact.

"Is it possible for Henson Joe's team to achieve 4 wins in a single season again four years later?"

On ESPN's first show, O'Neal brought up the topic.

If a coach can achieve a record of winning more than 70 games in three seasons, it is really scary
