Chapter 670 668: Crazy desire to win

"Henson, Henson."

Hearing someone pushing himself, Henson suddenly opened his eyes.At this time, it was pitch black around him, and the large projection in front of him was the only light source here.Above, the game video of the Philadelphia 76ers has been played to the end of the progress bar.

Henson looked up and found that An Jiali was looking at him with concern.He shook his head and collected his thoughts.

I should have fallen asleep while watching the game video in the study.

"You've been too tired recently, Henson." An Jiali sat next to her husband and rubbed Henson's face with a hot towel.

In an instant, Henson became sober.

"Yeah, this month. The schedule is a bit difficult." Henson turned off the projector. It had been a long, long time since he had experienced what it was like to fall asleep while watching a video.

"You're watching 76ers tape because of Jimmy?"

Jimmy Butler's claim that he must win at the Bankers Life Arena is the hottest basketball news in the past two days.How hot is it?Even An Jiali, who didn't deliberately pay attention to the news of the 76ers, knew it.

"Hahaha, that kid has this personality. But I watch the video not because of him, but because of the 76ers team. You know, they are one of my biggest opponents this season."

Henson smiled wryly. In the past, his biggest opponents were the Golden State Warriors and LeBron James.But this year, his biggest opponents suddenly increased.

James left, but a bunch of strong men came.The east this year is not much more peaceful than the west.

"Okay, don't worry about me, I'm going to rest now. Don't worry, I will take good care of my body in the last season."

Henson took the towel and washed his face himself.

He was indeed sleepy, but the reason why the Chinese coach really wanted to sleep was the shortcomings of the 76ers, which were bigger than Henson imagined.
Compared with the Toronto Raptors with a relatively complete system, the Philadelphia 76ers still have many problems to be solved.

Jimmy Butler says he's sure to win at Bankers Life Arena?I'm sorry, but in front of Henson, Jimmy Butler will always be a younger brother.

※※※

The consecutive battles with the Raptors and Celtics in January did make Henson very tired.But except in front of An Jiali, Henson will not show his tired side in front of anyone else.

Therefore, in the eyes of the players, Henson Joe is still the energetic coach.And once Henson is active, the rest of the Pacers won't feel fatigued.

Sometimes, the state of the head coach will directly determine the state of a team.The Pacers undoubtedly showed Henson's energetic state on the basketball court.

In the two games after the victory over the Celtics, the Pacers have won big.They first defeated the Knicks in New York who were going for the No. [-] pick Zion Williams, and then defeated another "No. [-] pick candidate" Phoenix Suns.

For the Pacers, these two games are as simple as a warm-up.

Of course, since there is no suspense in these two games, the appetite of the fans is completely lost. On January 1, the Pacers VS 17ers game was highly anticipated by the fans.

Everyone believes that with the addition of Jimmy Butler, the Philadelphia 76ers will definitely be able to spark off with the Pacers.

Therefore, for a few days, the entire Internet has been reporting on the Pacers and 76ers.And it was precisely at this juncture that the Philadelphia 76ers did something shocking and weeping ghosts and gods.

Two days before the game between the Pacers and the 76ers, that is, the day of the game between the Pacers and the Suns. The 76ers are also at home against Jimmy Butler's former team, the Minnesota Timberwolves.

In this game, the 76ers showed their excellent competitive state.It seems that the closer the game with the Pacers is, the more excited the 76ers will be.

Throughout the game, the 76ers scored 149 points without going through overtime!
Nearly 150 points in four quarters, this is simply an All-Star game-level score.However, this is a real regular season.

The Timberwolves' defense is as fragile as thin potato chips in front of the 76ers.

Among them, Jimmy Butler played the most bloody.He only took 10 shots in the whole game, but hit 8 of them.As an outside player, such a shooting percentage is incredible.

Although the score of 19 points does not look very amazing, but combined with his super high shooting percentage, this offensive performance can be called perfect.

The whole game only took 10 shots, so what is Jimmy Butler doing?On this point, ask Andrew Wiggins, he must know best.Because he made 14 of 4 shots and only scored 12 points, thanks to Jimmy Butler's defense.

Seven of the 76ers scored in double figures, plus Jimmy Butler blocked Wiggins, allowing the Timberwolves to be slaughtered by 7 points. And 42 points naturally set a record for the largest point difference in a single game this season.

This bloody massacre shocked the entire league, so that Henson's game had just ended, and a reporter asked him about the 76ers, which made Henson look confused.

It wasn't until Henson went back to the locker room to watch the news that he realized that the 76ers had done such a brutal thing that was "worse than a beast".

"Tsk tsk tsk, fierce and fierce." Looking at the technical statistics of the two sides in this match, Henson couldn't help curling his lips.

Embiid 31 points, Simmons 20 points, Jimmy Butler 19 points, JJ Redick 15 points, Wilson Chandler and Jonah Bolden 14 points, first-year rookie guard Landry Shamet also scored 12 points.

On the other hand, for the Timberwolves, Towns scored the highest with only 13 points. It seems that Tom Thibodeau's handsome position may be lost again.

"It seems that the Philadelphians came to Indianapolis with the determination to win. This game is just their show off." Becky Harmon also shook her head. She felt that there was only one word to describe the reason for the huge gap between the two teams, and that was the desire to win.

The Timberwolves played without desire, and Wiggins and Downs both got by.But for the 76ers, from Jimmy Butler to rookie Shamet, everyone is eager to win, and everyone is extremely bloodthirsty.The almost crazy desire to win is the most basic condition for the 76ers to create a tragedy.

Do you want to say that the strength gap between these two teams is really as big as 40 points?Certainly not.But the desire to win on both sides broke the shackles of strength.

And sometimes, a strong desire to win can even greatly enhance the strength of a team.

The Timberwolves are Jimmy Butler's former club, and the Pacers are also Jimmy Butler's former club.So there is no doubt that in the game two days later, the 76ers will show a stronger desire to win in the Bankers Life Arena!
"They're tough."

"Yeah, they're tough. The Philadelphia 76ers, I never thought we'd have to worry about this team one day." Henson stood up and straightened his Armani suit, ready to go to the press conference.

"Have you thought of a countermeasure yet?" Becky Harmon looked at Henson, but Henson didn't give him an answer.

The Chinese coach left the answer at the press conference.Because at the press conference, a reporter asked Henson the same question.

"Coach Henson, today the 76ers played the best form of the season so far. Two days later, have you thought about the countermeasures against the 76ers?"

"To be honest, the 76ers are in a very good state. I can even foresee that Jimmy Butler may be able to score a lot of points. Joel Embiid and Ben Simmons will also bring us great pressure."

As Henson spoke, a flash of light flashed underneath.Is it possible that this mighty coach has been subdued because of the recent state of the 76ers?
"Don't be busy taking pictures, I'm not finished yet. Jimmy Butler may get a lot of points, Joel Embiid and Ben Simmons will also bring us a lot of pressure. But in the game in two days, we will be the final winner. Don't you want this answer? Now you have it."

Henson originally wanted to avoid Jimmy Butler's previous provocations and the reporters' current incitement, but sometimes Henson felt that doing something would relieve some of his fatigue.

The words have already been released, and the game in two days will have to be won
