The Basketball Court Swordsman

On the court, Dwight Howard's arrogant look has disappeared, replaced by anxiety, distress and helplessness.

At this point, the game has reached the eighth minute of the fourth quarter. There are four minutes left before the end of the game. The score was 100 to 82, and the Houston Rockets were 18 points behind.

And this 18-point disadvantage is inseparable from Howard.

Since being targeted by Henson in the first quarter, Howard has struggled the entire game. McHale first made Harden the main attacker, which allowed Howard to experience the embarrassing situation of not having a mobile phone meeting for several minutes.

That's right, it's not that there is no score, but the embarrassment of not having a mobile phone meeting for several minutes!

James Harden's performance today is still very good. It seems that he did not go to the nightclub yesterday.

Although Harden didn't bring out his "Porcelain" in this game, he still played an efficient offensive performance by relying on his excellent level. Whether it is a three-pointer or a breakthrough, Harden played very well today.

However, James Harden alone cannot end the Pacers, and the Rockets need another person to stand up. This person should be Howard, but Howard played the opposite effect in it.

In the second quarter, Howard made 0 of 3 shots. In addition, the defensive end was tortured to death by Horford. Horford played "Warcraft" with his almighty skill, so he didn't know when to guard Horford's shots, when to guard his passes, and when to guard against his breakthroughs.

Howard asked Henson to watch his performance before the game, and he did. Because at this time, Howard looks like a funny clown.

After the start of the second half, Howard broke out completely. Of course, it was not ability but temper that broke out.

Under Stephenson's provocation repeatedly, Howard and Stephenson had an argument. And this undoubtedly made Howard become more uncomfortable and angry.

So his performance in the third quarter was still extremely bad. He always wanted to block the Pacers players, so he was shaken by fake moves again and again. He always wanted to smash the box offensively, so he ignored the teammates who were in the empty position again and again.

The existence of Howard completely destroyed the Rockets' chemical reaction. A core player couldn't help the team and instead plunged the team into dire straits, Henson was really eye-opening.

James Harden was still struggling to catch up, but helplessly, the score was gradually opened. When the game reached the present time of the eighth minute of the fourth quarter, the 18-point difference was formed.

"You idiot, even I can stop you at the basket." When the Pacers succeeded in defensive again, Stephenson sprayed such a trash talk at Howard who walked past him.

Howard, who used to be the Magic, is a good-natured boy. However, Howard now has a very hot temper. In a game between the Rockets and the Lakers early this season, Howard had a conflict with his former teammate Kobe.

A few days later, Howard and Garnett raised the bar again. In short, Howard is now an explosive barrel, just one point. What's more, Stephenson is still a bunch of "fire."

"Shut up your **** mouth, wait until you can score a goal on my head!" Howard responded badly, and at this time, the referee had noticed that the two had quarreled. Therefore, pay special attention to the behavior of the two.

After a Pacers attack, Stephenson really scored. Although his goal has some luck in it, he scored it when Howard was hit with no center of gravity.

But whether it is luck or strength, Stephenson scored, this is the fact. With this kind of goal, Stephenson can make Howard feel better?

He violently knocked away from Howard's shoulder, and then shook his fist bravely.

Howard, who was already angry, also broke out and pushed Stephenson from behind. Henson shook his head, Howard finished today.

Stephenson did not fight with Howard, but continued to spit trash under the protection of his teammates. There is no doubt that Stephenson's approach is very despicable and very cheap, but this just hit Howard's weakness.

Howard broke free of Chandler Parsons and ran straight to Stephenson. Seeing this scene, Henson knew that Howard was sent off the field was completely stabilized.

Stephenson, this guy is simply pretending to be crazy. On the surface, his personality seems a bit strong. But in fact, his purpose can be strong.

"Dwight Howard and Stephenson slobbered from the start of the third quarter, and the conflict finally broke out in the fourth quarter. Dwight was a bit irrational, it was obvious that Stephenson was deliberate."

"No, Dwight's approach may make Coach McHale let out a sigh of relief. After all, his existence is completely causing trouble for the Rockets and Harden."

The two commentators teased Howard, and on the court, Stephenson was only called a technical foul, Howard was directly sent off the court because of more aggressive aggressiveness.

Howard wants to perform in front of the defending champions Pacers and Henson. He wants everyone to keep their eyes open and watch their performance. He did succeed, and everyone's eyes were on him today.

However, Henson turned Howard into a clown. People pay attention to Howard because of his poor performance. It has to be said that Howard did not cause Henson any trouble today.

When he was sent off, he took away only 15 points and 6 rebounds. In comparison, Horford has now scored 21 points and 8 rebounds. Houston's super center was completely humiliated by Henson.

After Howard left the field, the Rockets' offense really improved a lot. There is no doubt that this situation will make Howard more embarrassing. The team will get better without you. It is not embarrassing for anyone.

But helpless, the pit that the Rockets dug before was too big, and now it can't be filled. After the game, the score was fixed at 112 to 98. With Henson replaced all the main players, the Rockets were "fortunate" to narrow the point difference to 14 points.

"The game is over. The Houston Rockets have no resistance in front of the defending champion! Just as most media predicted, Coach Henson has won 10 consecutive victories since his return!"

At the end of the game, Henson stood up, smiling and applauding gently. This expression was exactly the same as Henson's response when Howard provoked Henson in the first round of the game!

For the victory of this game and disdain for Howard's goal, Howard was humiliated. Yes, I kept provoking people before the game, but they didn't take myself seriously.

Seeing this scene in the locker room, Howard buried his head. Perhaps the success of dealing with Kobe and Garnett on the court gave him a high level of confidence and made him think he can now be an enemy of anyone.

But this time, Howard undoubtedly hit the wall head-on. He is already thinking about how to meet people at the press conference later.

"Dwight, are you satisfied with your performance today? Horford scored 21 points and 8 rebounds on your head today, oh yes, there are 5 assists, how do you evaluate your performance?"

"..."

"Today, the chemistry between you and Harden didn't seem to be very good. In the offense, you repeatedly had problems with the distribution of the ball. Do you think the main reason is you or James?"

"..."

"We all know that although you have expressed your humility before the start of the game, as far as Coach Henson and many Asian fans are concerned, they seem to think that your apology is not sincere enough. Do you think so? You will Will you make another public statement to apologize to Coach Henson and all Asian fans?"

"..."

Seeing Howard looked at a loss when facing reporters' questions, Harden, who was sitting next to him, was embarrassed for him. So, this time against the Pacers, Harden never made any remarks. Because he knows very well that there is nothing going to end with Henson.

On the other hand, Henson also publicly expressed in front of reporters for the first time that he wanted Howard to apologize publicly to himself and all Asians.

"Everyone is a gentleman. It is undoubtedly very unwise to say that. I think Dwight Howard still owes me and all Asians a sincere and formal apology! If he chooses not to respect me this time, then I will never respect Mr. Dwight Howard anymore in my life! As for this game, there is nothing to say, we have been in control from the beginning and I am proud of my players."

Henson's serious face made reporters feel very stressed. I'm afraid this time, Howard can no longer face this serious matter with a hippy smile.

Henson is just like Yao Ming back then, he has already beaten Howard...
