The Basketball Court Swordsman

"God put on jersey No. 42 today."

"Don't talk about Adelman's experience, even God can't prevent us from winning 70 games!"

These two sentences became the front page headlines of major newspapers and news websites the day after the competition. The first sentence, undoubtedly, praised Love's performance of 42 points and 16 rebounds and 5 of 10 three-pointers.

The second sentence became one of Henson's classic quotations.

When everyone is waiting to see Henson lose, when everyone thinks that the Timberwolves can give the defending champion a lesson, when everyone thinks that no one team can stop Love's determination to win the player of the month. It was Henson who, with his superb arrangement and excellent tactical execution ability of the players, completed the reversal when he was behind by double digits in the first quarter!

After the game, Timberwolves coach Adelman also shook his head helplessly, "I must admit, Coach Henson has me in the army. But I still insist on my point of view, I don't think they can win 70."

But now, this sentence is hard to convince people. After all, the Timberwolves are the only team that has the potential to defeat the Pacers for the rest of February. The remaining opponents of the Pacers in February are simply here to give away their heads.

So far this season, the Bucks, who have only won 10 games, and the Los Angeles Lakers, who have lost Kobe, are currently supported by a group of mercenaries...

Even if the media hates Henson, they will not have any hope for these two teams.

If nothing else, Henson, who has been away from the field for three months, will use a beautiful five-game winning streak to announce his strong return!

The February game is over, which means that the regular season will enter the last one and a half months countdown. Can you lose no more than 3 games in a month and a half? If it is another team, this is certainly impossible. But after seeing the state of the Pacers in the last two games, everyone must admit a terrible fact.

The guy Henson Joe didn't brag, he really went for 70 wins!

The Chinese coach was right that even the super-god Love could not stop the walkers. Not to mention the so-called experience brought by a coach who has never won 70 games.

Adelman's most brilliant period was the 90-91 season, when he was still the coach of the Portland Trail Blazers.

With his superb offensive system and Drexler + Terry Porter's backcourt shots, Adelman led the Pacers to 63 victories that season. However, this is the highest stat in Adelman's coaching career.

Even the gorgeous king who made Princeton famous has never won 60 wins. In the past five years, Adelman's team has not even won 50 wins.

Adelman is indeed one of the best coaches in the league, but it is up to him to talk about 70 wins. Henson thinks Adelman really does not have the qualifications.

At least, you have to know what it feels like to win 70.

Therefore, it is very unexpected that although Henson said after the game was very arrogant, no one stood up to refute him.

There is no doubt that people have thought of the Pacers controlled by Henson, how terrible it is!

After the battle with the Timberwolves, the Pacers, as expected, easily won the remaining three games in February.

The Pacers first defeated the Bucks in Milwaukee on the same ice and snow on February 22. In this game, George’s 33 points and David West’s 30 points made the game lose suspense early.

And West, like last season, every time after the All-Star Game, the veteran will always usher in a small outbreak for a period of time.

On February 25, at the Bankers’ Life Arena, the Pacers let the Los Angeles Lakers face down by 20 points.

In this game, the Pacers scored in double figures, and the Lakers' defense was as fragile as paper. The Lakers without Kobe seem to have no soul. Even though the Lakers second-year guard Kent Baezmore is awe-inspiring, even the Spaniard Gasol is still strong. But without Kobe, the Lakers just can't form combat effectiveness.

98 to 118, Henson won four consecutive victories after his return!

In the last game in February, the Pacers' opponent was still the Bucks. Only this time, the battlefield returned to Indianapolis.

Although Bucks general manager John Hammond had a good personal relationship with Henson, Hammond also came to see him during his illness. But personal relationships belong to personal relationships, and games belong to games.

Henson still did not give the Bucks any chance to counterattack, 106 to 95, Henson Howard took his first five-game winning streak after his return! The Pacers gave the Bucks their 45th defeat this season.

After the game, Henson also joked with Hammond in the player channel, "You should thank me. After all, I made your team more likely to get the No. 1 pick."

Hammond was a little bit dumbfounded, Henson, sometimes you don't know if he is an angel or a demon. Indeed, the Bucks want to get a higher pick. But it is not a good act for Henson to take advantage of it and behave well.

At this point, the Pacers ended all the February schedule. After losing Leonard, they used a five-game winning streak to spread the panic atmosphere of corn yellow to every corner of the league again.

Now, the alliance needs a hero to stand up. This hero does not need to be very competitive, or even to have a rich resume. Because Adelman's defeat has proved that the resume does not play a big role in dealing with Henson.

In short, who can stand up to stop the "expansion" of the Pacers, who is the hero!

It just so happened that Henson's "old friend" Brad Stevens became the next "hero candidate" in the media.

On March 1st, the Indiana Pacers, which have already scored a five-game winning streak, will go to Boston against the Celtics. And this game, whether it is for Henson or Stevens, is more than just an ordinary game.

February 28, the day after the Pacers defeated the Bucks, was also the day before the Pacers met the Celtics.

Today, Henson arrived at the training hall very early, which surprised the players.

As we all know, for so many years, Henson's habit is to like the last one to the training hall. Even if he arrived early, he would stay in the car to pass the time.

Because Henson has always wanted to convey a point to the players: "The head coach is not here to help you out in the morning."

But today, Henson came very early. When he came, there were fewer than five people in the training hall.

"Henson, did you read the wrong time when you went out today?" Fraser, who was helping the players set up training materials, was also surprised. As a shooting coach who needs to personally guide the players, Fraser is in the coaching staff every day. The earliest one.

However, he had never seen Henson come so early. This guy Henson is like a robot, he will never be late. Of course, it will not be early.

"My watch is correct, Frazier. Now that the doctor doesn't allow me to stay up late, then I can only make up the time for staying up late to watch the video until morning." Henson smiled and waved his hand. He did not forget the last time he walked. When the writer met the Celtics, Henson fainted because he stayed up late to watch the video.

So, he spent a period of three months without basketball.

Encountering the Celtics this time, Henson didn't want the tragedy to repeat itself. Back in Boston, Henson didn't want to lie down in Maguire Hospital.

Although life there is very pleasant, there are no annoying reporters. But to be honest, Henson is not a person willing to be calm.

Therefore, Henson was really obedient and did not dare to stay up all night. So he chose to wake up early to make up the evening work as much as possible.

"It's just the Boston Celtics, Henson." Frazier shook his head. The Celtics' record of 20 wins and 39 losses so far this season is not outstanding. In his view, the powerful Pacers don't even care about an Eastern Conference team that can't even make the playoffs.

"You should say that the other party is the Boston Celtics, Fraser." Henson couldn't agree with Fraser's point of view.

If the Pacers' goal this season is just the playoffs or the top three in the East, there is no doubt that Henson doesn't care about the Celtics at all.

But this season, the Pacers' goal is 70+ wins. In this situation where every loss of an extra game is extremely fatal, the Celtics, a team that often overturns strong teams, is very noteworthy.

What's more, the head coach of the Celtics is still a real master!

"By the way Fraser, when Becky Harmon and Frank Vogel arrive, call them to come to my office as soon as possible. If you are interested, you can also come. I popped up an unconventional one last night. Tactical ideas, you need to listen to your opinions."

Henson said, curling up his mouth strangely.

Frazier scratched his head. God knows this guy, and he came up with something strange.
