On March 6, 2014, just one day after the Pacers defeated the Golden State Warriors at home, the defending champions won an uncontested victory over Charlotte Bobcats at home.

The Bobcats are in the reserve of Kemba. Walker, a quasi-star player, also spent a lot of money this summer to bring in the former "Yao Ming Killer" Al. Jefferson, and has a more mature and highly-anticipated Michael. Kidd Gilchrist. In the middle of the season, he also got the Spurs veteran through a trade, and Gary, who smoked the wind and gave Henson a headache. Neil.

It seems that Jordan wants to make a qualitative leap for his team.

As it turned out, Jordan's investment was not in vain. Last season, the Bobcats were second-to-last in the East. So far this year, the Bobcats have secured the seventh or eighth spot in the East. As long as there are no injuries or major changes for the Bobcats over the next month and a half, they will qualify for the playoffs as they wish.

However, in the East, where competition is relatively small, the requirements for a record to reach the playoffs are not very high. So far this season, the Bobcats have a record of just 27 wins and 33 losses. This result is placed in the west, and it will definitely not be able to squeeze into the top eight.

So, while the Bobcats are a playoff-caliber team right now, the gap between them and the Pacers is huge.

The game, Al. Jefferson scored 34 points, and Kemba. Walker also had 19 points on his account. However, the Bobcats still lost 87-109.

Al. Although Jefferson has a variety of offensive means, defense has always been his weakness. Truth be told, the defense is also Al . The biggest reason why Jefferson can't grow into a first-tier star in the league.

In the Eyre. With Jefferson's defense not very strong, the Pacers frequently attacked the interior to get success. A wave of 13-0 in the third quarter of the game took the game away.

It stands to reason that there is nothing to say about this game. When people saw that the Pacers' opponent was a weak Bobcat, everyone almost guessed that this would be the outcome.

But today, there are two special things that make the game shine in the spotlight.

First, it was discovered that in today's game, Henson repeatedly let Frank . Vogel is in charge. A lot of times, Henson even let Vogel set up the rotation and offense.

Second, after this match, Henson has ushered in his ninth consecutive win after his return! In other words, if the Pacers win the next game, then Henson will have a milestone 10-game winning streak when he returns!

These two special points made the enthusiasm of the reporters still high after the game. Of course, the focus is not on the game itself.

In the next game, the Pacers need to rush to Houston to play back-to-back, and their opponent is naturally the Houston Rockets, who formed the "Morden" combination, and finished fourth in the West this season. Henson estimated that at today's press conference, there must be a lot of people blowing rockets, and then asking themselves if they are afraid.

However, contrary to Henson's prediction, at today's press conference, the reporters became quite "cooperative".

"Coach Henson, after the team has won 10 back-to-back games tomorrow, will you give your players a day off to celebrate?"

"How many points do you think the Pacers can win tomorrow? Two-digit or single-digit? ”

"Can you talk about the shortcomings of the Rockets? How far do you think the combination of Harden and Howard can go in the playoffs? ”

Faced with the reporters who suddenly "changed their faces", Henson looked confused. Accustomed to being scolded and despised by others, and now suddenly becoming the one who is valued, Henson is still a little uncomfortable.

But come to think of it, the Pacers have won two consecutive championships, and recently won a wave of nine consecutive wins, which directly put the Miami Heat's ambition of "regaining the first place in the East" on hold. If anyone dares to despise the Walker until now, it is either stupid or stupid.

On the other hand, the Rockets, although currently ranked fourth in the West, have two superstars, Harden and Howard, but this season has been full of problems and results have been up and down.

Under such big conditions, the media that were slapped in the face by Henson and the Pacers no longer dared to make a splash. As Henson said, they now have to admit that the Pacers are strong.

After getting off the plane and arriving at his hotel in Houston in the evening, Henson also found that almost all the media was more optimistic about the Pacers winning. It was as if the game hadn't even started, and the Rockets had become vulnerable.

Because I don't dare to stay up late now, I didn't watch the news much after staying at the hotel. As a result, the Chinese coach missed an explosive topic......

※※※

Henson slept until he woke up at 8 a.m. the next morning, and because of the need to take good care of his body, Henson didn't have to get enough sleep now. If he goes to bed late, he will force himself to wake up later the next day.

Pull back the curtains, and even Texas doesn't have much sunshine in March. The weather here doesn't improve until April, when it peaks in June.

As for why Henson is so clear, nonsense, last season's finals, Henson and his team played in Texas.

After washing up, Henson went down to the dining room for breakfast. Because it was not too early to get angry, when Henson went down, there were already many people from the team eating.

There were players, coaches, equipment managers, and so on, and each of them would greet Henson when they saw him, and Henson would nod his head in response.

It feels like the headmaster who always patrols between floors when I used to go to school......

After taking two slices of fried egg and a sausage, Henson sat down in his seat and prepared to eat. But then I found that not far ahead, Stephenson, Horford, Anderson, George and Jimmy. The Butlers were getting together and discussing something. Henson thought they were arguing, so he hurried over.

However, when I got closer, I realized that my worries were unnecessary. There are still no problems in the Pacers' locker room, and the guys are talking about the current Rockets center Dwight D. Bush. Howard.

"This idiot, Lao Tzu wants him to taste the power of the dark elbow!" Stephenson said, moving his arm.

"Tut-tut, does he really think that he can lead the team to the finals now?" Jimmy. Butler shook his head in disgust.

"Hey, why is it him again." Horford clutched his forehead in anguish.

"Hey, what are you looking at?" It wasn't until Henson shouted that the players noticed that the Chinese manager was getting closer.

At this point, Henson found the guys gathered around a cell phone squared on the table. On the phone, it seems to be Howard when he was interviewed.

"Boss, did you see this video last night?" Stephenson held up his phone and hovered it in front of Henson's eyes.

Henson shook his head, he had gone to bed early yesterday and didn't have time to care about any of Howard's remarks.

As can be seen from the mobile phone screen, Howard was interviewed inside the training ground at the Toyota Center. Presumably, the interview should have taken place during the afternoon media session.

"D, what do you think of tomorrow's game against the Pacers? As far as I know, most people don't think you have the upper hand. Even if you've played 42 games so far this season and are fourth in the West. ”

"I know I know, this season there have been people saying that we can't win this one, that one can't beat. However, the truth is, we just beat the Miami Heat the other day. And in that game, I had 22 points and 16 rebounds. That's right, another two-pair data. As luck would have it, no one was optimistic about us before the game started. ”

"You mean, you can win tomorrow's game at home?"

"No," Howard shook his head, "I mean, Coach Henson better keep his little eyes open, because Uncle Dwight is going to show him how tough the air city is!" Howard said, flexing his muscles in front of the camera.

Perhaps, in Howard's opinion, this is a joke. But in the eyes of Henson and the rest of the Pacers, it was a serious humiliation involving racial issues!

Henson shook his head, finally the media learned smartly, but there were still people who came up to "send them to death".

Sure enough, in the afternoon, the reporters immediately pestered Henson about this issue. However, Henson was still not irritable, but just said coldly.

"I am a polite person, and I listen attentively and take to heart everything that people say to me. But only if that sentence has at least some meaning! Dwight. Howard didn't have to apologize for his remarks, because after a few hours, he would realize that his stubbornness was pointless. ”

It looks like Houston is destined to bleed tonight.
