The Basketball Court Swordsman

Henson won the first game after his return, but he did not get unanimous approval from the outside world. After all, there are many more people in the basketball circle waiting to see Henson get embarrassed than those who want to see him succeed.

In the press release after the game with the Trail Blazers, Henson once again expressed his desire to win 70+ billion yuan in two consecutive seasons. At the press conference, no one dared to challenge Henson. However, in the news after the game, the reporters became active again.

"A victory in a game can't explain anything."

"I know Coach Henson has excellent abilities, but 70 wins in a single season is no joke. No, it's half a season."

"Please allow me to be vulgar. Henson Joe is a clown who does not compromise to attract attention. He doesn't care if he can win 70+ games, as long as you and I are still discussing him, Henson Joe. Even if it is successful!"

These reports all reflect the reporters' "missing" Henson. After three months, the reporters finally had another person to attack. There is no doubt that the news of scolding Henson is the most eye-catching. Therefore, few media will miss this opportunity.

Of course, even these reporters must admit that the game the Pacers won against the Blazers was very beautiful. No matter from personnel adjustment or tactical arrangement, Henson has crushed Stotts in all directions.

But the reason why they are so confident is because the Pacers' opponents in the next back-to-back game are quite difficult to deal with! The media agreed that the Pacers won't win the next game.

If the Pacers really lose the next game, then the Pacers will lose 10 games this season. As a result, Henson's 70+ win plan will become more difficult to achieve! Therefore, the media can attack unscrupulously

"The Pacers cannot beat the Timberwolves with back-to-back fighting. Kevin Love will not allow this to happen."

"Western Week's Player of the Week Love is moving towards his first month's best player award, and the Pacers are undoubtedly a stumbling block on the road to Love's award. You say Love will trip, Or will you kick this stone aside?"

"In the highly competitive West, the Timberwolves still have a chance to compete in the playoffs this season. Love is undoubtedly eager to get rid of the title of data brush. There is no doubt that the Minnesota people will continue their good form. "

Sitting on the plane to Minnesota, Henson was not surprised to read the praises of the Timberwolves in the newspaper. After all, the performances of Timberwolves and Love in February were indeed very scary.

Especially Love, he is simply a data madman. Since being selected to the All-Star team as a starter this season, Love's performance has been very hot.

On February 5th, the Timberwolves beat the Los Angeles Lakers 109 to 99 at home. Love scored 31 points and 17 rebounds in this game. He scored 30+15 for the 25th time in his career, breaking the game held by Garnett. Timberwolves history record. After that, Love’s series of terrible performances continued,

On February 7, Love had 26 points and 19 rebounds, leading the Timberwolves to defeat the Pelicans with a data that did not lose to Anthony Davis.

On February 10, Love had 31 points and 11 rebounds, and then cut a double-double. With Harden shooting only 28% of the game, the Timberwolves won again. After this battle, Love was also named the best player in the Western Conference this week.

In the previous game, on February 12 before the start of the All-Star Game, the Timberwolves played against the Nuggets, and Love even hit a nearly triple-double.

32 points, 11 rebounds and 8 assists, including 6 of 11 three-pointers, allowed the Timberwolves to enter the All-Star Weekend with a four-game winning streak.

The next game against the Pacers will be the first game between Love and the Timberwolves after the All-Star Weekend. Therefore, everyone is looking forward to the Timberwolves, who are in good condition, to teach the arrogant Henson.

Henson must admit that this is a challenge. Love is a double-double machine, and as a guard, he has a good set of possession, shooting and coping. He is a veritable All-Star starting forward.

But he didn't think that his team had no chance of winning when facing Rick Adelman's Timberwolves. Love and Timberwolves have been in good shape recently, but don’t forget that the defending champions are also morale high now.

As for fighting back to back, Henson felt that this was not a disadvantage.

The Timberwolves have not played a formal game for 6 days, which means that the Pacers will definitely be able to enter the competitive state faster. And the All-Star weekend has just passed, and the players have been fully rested. Coupled with the badge bonus that Henson returned to carry, there was no physical pressure on this back-to-back battle.

Those media think Timberwolves are their life-saving straw? At the target center in a few hours, Henson will prove how ridiculous their fantasy is.

Kevin Love was sweating profusely and completed his shooting and training tasks. Although before the All-Star Weekend, his state was very good. But Love knows that even athletes at the level of Kobe and Jordan cannot maintain good conditions in all 82 games. There is always a game that interrupts an athlete's good state.

What Love has to do now is to extend his hot state as much as possible. Judging from the results of the shooting training just now, Love still maintains a good feel. He believes that he will not waste any easy shooting opportunities outside the three-point line today.

"Kevin, take a break." At this time, the famous coach Rick Adelman, who is very familiar to Chinese fans, appeared on the court.

Since leaving the Rockets, Adelman has coached the Timberwolves for three seasons. In the first two seasons, the results of the Timberwolves were not ideal. After all, the Timberwolves plan was to rebuild.

But this season, the Timberwolves don't want to wait any longer. They assembled Ricky Rubio who has matured, Corey Brewer who is willing to work hard, and Jose Barea who can make a great contribution on the bench.

Of course, there is also Kevin Love with increasingly terrifying data!

This season, the Timberwolves' goal is the playoffs. Therefore, even in the face of the powerful defending champion Pacers, Adelman will do his best to win.

Seeing the silver-haired coach appear, Love smiled slightly. If there are female fans present, they will definitely be captivated by Love's smile. I have to admit that Love is indeed one of the best players in this league.

"I'm not tired, coach! If we don't prepare well, we have no chance of winning tonight!"

"You know, the cost of the game against the Pacers is definitely not small. How tough their defense is, you have experienced it before. So if you really want to perform well in the game later, don't waste it. Physical strength." Adelman finished speaking and threw a towel to Love.

Adelman knows very well what Love wants to do. Don't look at this guy who has contributed countless horror data, made the All-Star starter, and won the best of the week. However, Love has never won the Player of the Month even once in his career.

In the past few seasons, Love's data is good enough, but the Timberwolves record is not enough. And this season, especially this month, neither Love's data nor the Timberwolves' record can fault it. So there is no doubt that this is also the best chance for Love to get the best player of the month.

The white striker who graduated from uCLA will not miss this opportunity, so he will do his best tonight. Adelman smiled, maybe tonight, he can really wrestle with the defending champion!

"Kevin."

"Ok?"

"Let's win the victory."

Love, who was wiping his sweat, froze for a moment, then tilted his head, "Did we come to the target center to lose?"

Meanwhile, at the St. Paul International Airport in Minneapolis, Henson and his players landed on time. Although it snowed heavily in Minneapolis yesterday, at least the weather conditions today are not bad.

Henson couldn't help shivering when he got off the plane. The climate of Minneapolis is not friendly at all. This icy and snowy city will snow at any time, but the biting cold wind also makes Henson a lot of spirit.

"Henson, how does it feel to hit back-to-back for the first time since I came back?" Vogel stepped up from behind and asked with concern.

"It's very good, Frank. I didn't stay up late and didn't overwork. I hope we are well prepared."

"It doesn't matter, even if we don't stay up late, we can still win."

Henson smiled slightly and said the same thing as someone.

"Did we come to the target center to lose?"
