284: Broken door

"Beep~~~~" A loud electronic beep burst into Henson's ears, causing him to suddenly shake his whole body.

The Chinese-American coach looked up at the big screen at the scene, 56-49, and the Warriors led by seven points. With the exception of an 8-0 run at the start of the second quarter, the Pacers returned to being suppressed. Mark. Jackson's elevator doors make Henson suffer. Of course, the most frightening thing is that Stevens and Henson haven't figured out a way to crack this tactic yet.

Fortunately, due to the lack of Curry and Thompson in the subsequent rotation time, the Warriors did not continue to play the damn elevator door. Allen's brave play allowed the Pacers to push the score to single digits.

Once upon a time, it was said that no team could win a game by shooting. As a result, in 2011, the Mavericks, under the leadership of Nowitzki, used efficient mid-range shooting to shoot the Heat Big Three to death.

And now, Mark. Jackson plans to shoot people to death with a three-point shot! Basketball is a sport that is changing subtly.

Henson walked straight back to the dressing room after half-time, and he wasn't in the mood to talk too much in front of reporters today. If you can't hack Mark. Jackson's elevator door, the Pacers are unlikely to get out of the Bay Area today.

You can expect most players in the league to be inconsistent in three-point shooting, but don't put that in the shoes of Curry and Thompson, who have proven their game.

Back in the dressing room, the players were out of breath. This is perhaps the most passive game the Pacers have played so far this season. Everyone worked very hard, but they just couldn't bring the momentum back. For the first five minutes of the timeout, Henson didn't explain any tactics. He had a heated discussion with Stevens and Vogel, and the three coaches had to combine their thinking during the game to figure out how to crack the tactics in five minutes.

Why Five Minutes? Because Henson still has to spend ten minutes to make his players understand what to do when they are on the pitch later!

"It was too intense, and the offense from both sides went on and on. At the beginning of the second quarter, the Pacers took the lead, and the Warriors controlled the rhythm in the middle of the quarter. And when it comes to rotation time, the walkers are gradually catching up. Oh my God, it was a bonus, no one expected it to be so exciting. Webb stared at the pitch to see who would be the first to dominate in the second half.

The halftime break is actually not long, and fans generally choose to go to the toilet during this time period, buy food, and watch live performances.

But for a good game, even a minute of interruption is incredibly long. Everyone waited a little impatiently, and finally three minutes before the start of the game, the players from both sides reappeared!

"Coach Henson was very serious today and obviously, Mark. Coach Jackson has studied the Pacers a lot. His peculiar blocking and pick-and-roll tactics made the Pacers' impregnable defense unbearable. The camera showed Henson, and Van Gundy saw Henson's sad face for the first time this season. During the time when he was banned by Xiao Hua, Henson was never so worried.

"I don't know if it's going to work." Stevens stood on the sidelines as the three coaching staff had agreed on a strategy for the second half. It's just that everything is still in the theoretical stage.

"We'll find out later, I think...... Sixty percent of the time. Henson turned his head to look at Mark. Jackson, who deserves to be the fourth-highest point guard in NBA history with total assists, has a really good basketball IQ.

But Henson has always believed in one sentence: "In this world, no one is perfect in any tactic!" ”

The game restarted, and both Webber and Van Gundy were eager to see what strange substitution decision Henson made. However, the start of the second half was exactly the same as in the second quarter. With Paul, George, Leonard, West, and Horford, Henson wasn't going to disrupt the Warriors' rhythm with fancy substitutions today.

Because if the tactics don't work, whoever comes up will be in vain.

In the second half, the Warriors didn't hit the elevator door as soon as they came up, but played an ordinary low-post offense first, trying to make David . Li opened up the second battlefield. Henson smiled slightly, and Mark. Does Jackson's doing this prove that the arrangement just now will work?

But it's a pity that David. West's iron-clad defense didn't make David. Lee stands to cheap. The defensive David defeated the offensive David, and the Warriors failed on the first offense.

"Look, apart from the elevator door, the Warriors don't have the means to score against us." Henson said, getting back on his feet, he was going to seize the momentum of the comeback from the first second!

After the offense passed, the Pacers no longer followed the pattern of opening up the space-sharing-shooting, but directly created opportunities to break through the singles. Azeli and David. Lee's rim protection ability is not enough to dumb the Pacers' multiple offensive points!

Leonard squeezed Harrison hard along the baseline. Barnes drove to the basket and Leonadella made a layup in the face of Aizeli's defense. Leonard has been labeled as "not scoring" this season. However, Henson is well aware that he has not fully unleashed Leonard's scoring potential, otherwise many people would be surprised.

"Break through more and play inside, improve the success rate, create fouls for the opponent, and don't fight with them for three points. Then, control the rebounds in the front court and try to get a second chance to attack. ”

It was Henson's attacking strategy at half-time and it was executed very faithfully by the players as soon as they came up. But Henson is well aware that the offensive strategy is only a support. If you really want to win, you have to see if the elevator door can be "blasted" successfully!

The margin narrowed to five points, and Curry advanced with the ball. Mark. Jackson made a few gestures at Curry, and Curry used the same gesture to relay the message to each teammate.

Most probably, they are going to hit the elevator door!

But this time, Curry was entangled by Paul as soon as he passed halftime! Not only Curry, but all five of the Warriors were pressed closely, even the off-ball points were closely guarded!

"Half-time pressing!" Van Gundy shouted that such a strategy can indeed curb the movement and shooting, but it can't contain the breakthrough.

But Henson is not worried about the Warriors' breakthrough at all, if both teams play two points and two points, Henson is confident that his team will be more efficient, and the Warriors can't grind their own!

To defend against the Warriors, you have to guard against their shots!

Despite the tough pressing, the Warriors still intend to do the elevator door. But in such a situation, the complex tactic of elevator doors is not so easy to form.

"The more complex the tactic, the lower the success rate." This sentence may seem like a nonsense, but how to arrange the proportion of simple tactics and complex tactics is a science.

Now Mark. Jackson's over-reliance on the complex tactics of elevator doors is not a good thing.

David. Lee was entangled by the old and spicy West, and the block was not in place in time, resulting in half of the elevator doors missing. How can you close the door with less than half of it?

So when Curry came out to catch the ball, Paul was still with him, and the elevator door didn't hit!

"Stephen. Curry shoots, but Paul's block is very even! The shot was ironed, and the Warriors failed to attack in the second round in a row! ”

Leonard rushed into the box to get a defensive rebound, and then immediately counterattacked quickly! Another drawback of the elevator door tactic is that it almost gives up frontcourt rebounding! However, allowing the Pacers to win defensive rebounds so easily, Henson's players will not be merciful in their counterattacks!

Knowing that the Warriors couldn't get the rebound, George and Paul began to run to the front court the moment Curry couldn't shoot. After Leonard won the rebound, he immediately held the ball and advanced, and his speed was immediately raised.

Paul and George are the two highest scoring players per game for the Pacers this season and are undoubtedly the two biggest offensive threats for the Pacers. So his two runs attracted the attention of the Warriors' defense. And Leonard strode through the crowd, using a change of direction to avoid Thompson who came to help the defense, and then dunk with one hand, and scored a fast attack!

"3 points! Just like in the second quarter, the Pacers began to fight back! Webb spat into the microphone.

This time, however, the Pacers were not the same as the second quarter. This time, Henson didn't intend to let Mark. Jackson move the situation back again!

Elevator door tactics are so complex that they can be destroyed as long as they don't get out, and once they are destroyed, they are almost impossible to reassemble. When the elevator door tactics were disrupted, the Warriors' offense also came to a near standstill. Mark. Jackson also knew this shortcoming, so he never used the elevator door as a regular tactic, and then just tried to get David . Lee opens up the situation on the inside.

Today, however, when the regular season tactics didn't work, David. Lee can't open the situation again, Mark. Jackson had to use the elevator door to slam into Henson's death.

In the second quarter of the game, Mark. Jackson did succeed, and he won the bet. But the NBA game has to play four quarters!

"Don't let go, keep up the intensity, fuck up the intensity!" Henson waved and shouted from the sidelines, not shy away from his dirty mouth. The referees are used to it, and if Henson's conversation suddenly becomes civilized, they won't.

And Henson's shouting also made the Pacers players adrenaline soar! What a damn elevator door, nothing is good in front of the defending champions!

This time, Leonard gave Barnes an early boost and almost let Barnes drop the ball. As a result, after Curry was in place, Barnes failed to send the "ammunition" over as soon as possible! The elevator door tactics failed for the second time in a row, and Barnes stood outside the three-point line in confusion, not knowing what to do with the ball for a while.

The young "North Carolina Eagles" didn't know that in front of this taciturn No. 2, they must not hesitate. Because if you hesitate, the ball is gone.

Leonard seized the opportunity to reach out his long arm and stab the basketball away from Barnes's hand! Don't look at Leonard as a striker, but his steal speed and accuracy are not inferior to guards.

"Fast hand Leonard, another steal, this guy's defense is simply terrible!"

Barnes immediately reflexively threw down to save the ball, but it was Leonard's long arm that took control of the basketball first.

Barnes fell to the ground, clutching a cloud of air. And Leonard accelerated with the momentum, there was no one in front of him, and he took advantage of the fast attack opportunity brought by the mistake!

With both hands slammed down, Leonard scored again! At this time, there was silence in the Auckland Arena, and the defending champions did not drop the chain again!

Henson jumped up excitedly and then high-fived Stevens and Vogel! Three stinkers, no matter how they are worth your mark. Jackson, a Zhuge Liang! What's more, Henson, Stevens and Vogel are not as simple as a stooge.

Elevator door, blasted successfully!

Mark. Jackson held his forehead and looked helplessly at Henson, who was celebrating excitedly. He didn't expect Henson to find a way to crack the elevator door so quickly.

No wonder, Henson. Can Joe make the Pacers rise so quickly in such a short period of time......
