Since December, the Pacers' record has not been particularly satisfying to Henson. December 3rd in Phoenix, Channing. Frye and Jason. Richardson's ungodly form made the Pacers lose in Phoenix. On the 6th, the Pacers slaughtered the Raptors by 24 points at home, and all seven players on the team scored double-doubles. But just two days later, the Pacers lost to the Milwaukee Bucks for the second time this season, and were beaten by Australian champion Bogut in the final minute of the game.

After the match, Henson didn't hide his disappointment at all.

'We did well throughout the game, but who would have thought they would win in such an unbelievable way.' Henson's face was written with helplessness.

The situation at that time was that in the last 1 second of the game, the score was tied. Luke. Bamot serves the ball from the sideline, and Henson deploys heavy troops to guard Brandon. Jennings and John. Selmons. Unexpectedly, Bogut, who was originally just out to make a fake cover, suddenly turned back to the penalty area, Bamot hoisted the ball directly into the inside line, and the rough Australian carried the confrontation of watching Horford, jumped high, and put the basketball in the air into the basket, at the same time, the buzzer sounded, the game was over, and the whole court was boiling.

At the end of the game, Henson looked at the big screen in disbelief. Until the score was added, he couldn't believe that he had been killed.

When shaking hands after the game, Bucks coach Skels's smug look made Henson extremely unwilling. But in this game, Skeys taught Henson at least one thing.

Sometimes using a player you don't expect to deliver the final blow can do wonders! What did Stevens say to Henson? Absorb all the tactics you feel good!

Skels is certainly proud, as the Bucks are the only team to beat the Pacers twice this season. There is no doubt that this once Danny. Anji's disciples once stole the limelight from Henson.

A day after the loss to the Bucks, the Pacers defeated the Bobcats at home. Oddly enough, the Pacers haven't lost to the Bobcats since Henson took control of the team late last season.

But the victory in this game made Henson unhappy at all, because in the game, Al Henson. Horford's finger was contusion, leaving him out for 10-15 days.

Al. Horford's injury meant the Pacers lost a key tactical starting point. The only thing Henson feels fortunate about is that neither Horford nor George's injuries are too serious. Looking at the shocking injury lists of other teams, Henson feels that he is not so unlucky.

After learning that he would have to be out for 10-15 days, Horford privately approached Henson and offered to fight. After all, tomorrow, the Pacers have back-to-back road games in Atlanta. And any game against his old club, the Eagles, Horford doesn't want to be absent.

But Henson didn't accede to Horford's request, after all, it was only a regular season game, and Henson didn't want to risk the player's health.

"You know what, the reason a lot of people in this league don't take their chances is not because they don't get the time they play, it's because when they do, they find that they don't have the ability to take their chances. Valuing your injury is because it can make you lose that ability to take chances. So listen to the team doctor and take good care of your injuries. ”

Henson's words dispelled the idea of Horford playing with an injury. But there's no doubt that the Pacers will pay a price for losing such an important tactical starting point.

The Pacers' playbook is teamwork, which is a good thing. But if an injury strikes and a piece of the tactical system is suddenly missing, the team's original simple and smooth tactical system will immediately collapse.

So on Dec. 11, at Phillips Arena in Atlanta, the Pacers paid the price.

Josh. McRoberts was embarrassed, and his poor hand today allowed Hibbert not to have to stay away from the basket defense. And just like that, the Hawks' defense became impregnable, and the Pacers struggled to get space.

And George's absence made the Eagles' best sixth man, Jamal . Crawford had a smooth play, scoring a team-high 25 points. Stephenson, who replaced George, was too impatient today, and Crawford's brilliant dribbling was just the right thing to dove the impatient opponent around.

97-83, the Pacers suffered their worst loss of the season. The Eagles successfully got their revenge, and Larry Sr. Drew was finally able to boast in front of the media and say, "I've said a long time ago that Coach Henson's system is fragile. ”

While in the tunnel, Henson ran into a young Christine. She asked Henson a question, "What do you think of the team's current predicament?" ”

Christine frowned, looking a little anxious. Henson didn't know if the intern reporter was asking the question as a personal concern or as a routine interview.

"Dilemma? No, we're two more wins than the Bulls. Henson didn't think much of it, the only thing he could do now was to stabilize the team's morale. If you admit that your team is in trouble, the players will be more depressed than they are.

The current Henson is not in the mood to flirt with the girl, so after answering the question, he nodded and left.

After the loss to the Hawks, the Pacers are still paying the price. They each lost to the Bulls — perhaps it was Henson's "we're two more wins than the Bulls" that angered the Chicagoans, and the Bulls handed the Pacers a 19-point loss at the Union Center.

Lost to the Lakers, the second team in the league to beat the Pacers in double. Subsequently, it lost to the Celtics, who have a big three. The Pacers' excellent record this season undoubtedly poses a threat to the Celtics. So in this game, the "Green Shirts" did not give Bird face, 99-88, and the Pacers lost again.

So far, the Pacers have suffered the longest four-game losing streak of the season. The record has also changed from amazing at the beginning to 14 wins and 10 losses now, which is slightly mediocre.

After four consecutive defeats, the media wailed.

"The dream is over! The Pacers fell out of the top three! ”

"Henson. How much longer can Joe sit on the bench? Will Bird change coaches? ”

"Chris. Paul: We're not going to miss any chance to beat our opponents, and they're on a four-game losing streak, so that's an opportunity! ”

The four-game losing streak even alarmed Bird, who made a point of calling Henson to ask if there was a problem in the dressing room and what difficulties the studio was facing.

Henson's answer was so simple that it made one think they had just gone through a four-game winning streak.

"There are no problems with the team."

Bird pouted, he couldn't do anything but trust.

After losing to the Celtics, the Pacers were given a day off. After that, it was a home back-to-back. The opponents are the New Orleans Hornets, who are currently 16-11, and the Cleveland Cavaliers, who have lost to the Pacers twice.

After back-to-back, it's Christmas. Therefore, if the Pacers can't get good results in these two games, it is estimated that Henson will not even be in the mood for Christmas.

But Al. Horford and Paul. George's timely return gave Henson peace of mind. He began to study the wasp in a big way, trying not to let "Queen Bee" Paul get the opportunity he said he said.

After training the day before the game, Vogel went to Henson's office to deliver cookies that his wife had baked herself.

Not everyone knows about Henson's relationship with the Pacers owner's daughter, so everyone has always regarded Henson as a bachelor. Knowing that he doesn't like to cook alone, he often gives him something to eat.

In fact, although Henson and Angeli are related, he also lives almost all alone. It's not terrible to be single, it's terrible to have a woman who still lives the life of a bachelor.

"Thank you for me, my wife, Frank, for her amazing work." Henson waved at Vogel, then quickly focused his gaze on the computer screen in his office.

"What are you looking at, Henson? Is the game plan already in place for the noon race today? Vogel curiously leaned over to take a look, and found that Henson was actually watching the NBA's best shots.

Vogel looked at Henson in surprise, and Henson smirked.

"Be prepared, be prepared, hehe."

Be prepared, now that all are in place, the Pacers can't afford to lose again.
