"It's been a long time since I've been looking forward to winning alone, and seeing the final stages of the game between the Pacers and the Bulls, I really hope that Rose will help the Pacers win, not just the Timberwolves, but Rose will win for them."

"All without warning, Veteran Heroes Night! Tears! That's life! ”

"Who would have thought that after so many years of such hardship, Rose would be able to set a new career scoring high! 50 points! Teary-eyed! This is my favorite story so far this season! A perfect movie script, but that's it. ”

The day after the Pacers-Bulls game, basketball figures of all sizes, big and small, both well-known and unknown, in the United States expressed their opinions on Rose's 50-minute night.

Players, coaches, commentators and fans alike all have the highest respect for Rose.

The eyes of the whole league are focused on one player, and this kind of thing hasn't happened in a long time. Derek. Rose, he completed his redemption with the Pacers.

Of course, blessings are blessings. But most people think that Rose's ability to score 50 points in a single game is just a flash in the pan. At the end of a season, there are always one or two games, and there will be one or two lucky people who score high points. But not many of these guys are in great shape.

A lot of people are just consuming Ross to attract attention for themselves. There are very few people who are really optimistic about him.

Thankfully, the NBA's dense schedule is one of the most convenient ways for a player to prove himself. You don't think well of me? It's okay, if I'm still good in the next game, won't you have nothing to say?

Derek. That's exactly how Ross proved himself.

Nov. 3, just 24 hours after the Pacers crushed the Bulls at the Union Center. Henson. Joe's team returned to the Bankers Living Arena to face back-to-back games against the Boston Celtics, the Boston Celtics, who the Pacers swept 4-0 in the Eastern Conference Finals last season.

Being swept in a best-of-seven game like the playoffs is actually enough to prove how big the difference in strength between the two sides is. After all, it's very difficult to hold down a team four games in a row without any surprises happening.

But last year's Eastern Conference Finals, the Celtics were eliminated in this humiliating way. It stands to reason that the difference in strength between the two sides should be obvious.

But today's Pacers vs Celtics game has attracted the attention of fans on both sides. Because Celtics fans believe that Kelly. Owen and Gordon. Hayward's absence was the main reason why the Pacers were able to sweep the Celtics last season.

This season, both Hayward and Irving are healthy. Celtics fans want to see if the Pacers can win the game.

However, are the Celtics with Irving and Hayward really stronger than they used to be? Henson doesn't think so. Henson even felt that this would be the toughest time for his old friend Stevens.

First, break away from LeBron. Kelly after James. Irving, scoring ability is overrated. At this point, don't say that you don't understand the ball, just find someone who doesn't understand the ball, just look at the data.

With the Cavaliers, James draws most of the opposing defense's attention, so Irving is usually able to get plenty of easy one-on-one opportunities.

But with the Celtics, Irving himself became the one who caught the defensive attention. James is by his side and James is not around, but they are two different things.

Irving now has to face the toughest part of the opposing defense, so his scoring stats and scoring efficiency are declining across the board. Irving, who Celtics fans are looking forward to, is seriously overrated.

As for Hayward, it's another sad story. Henson admits that Hayward was very good during the Jazz period, and he was a white forward, but he was one of the few in the league who played most like James's No. 3 position.

You can understand that he is a LeBron with weakened physical fitness and passing ability, but strengthened shooting ability. James.

However, after returning from injury, Hayward's performance was not as good as he could have been. The Celtics had played eight games before the Pacers, and Hayward's highest scoring game in eight games was just 14 points.

And unlike George's scoring drop due to fewer shots, Hayward took a lot of shots, but it was clear that there was a problem with confidence and form.

Therefore, will Hayward + Irving definitely make the Celtics a turnaround? Henson doesn't think so.

Before the game began, Henson made clear the defensive plan, which was to strangle Irving!

Tatum, Jaylen. Brin and Hayward, and even Henson's favorite Horford, are not the kind of masters who can kill games by scoring. So, as long as Irving is contained, the Pacers will have won half of the game.

The process of the game was similar to what Henson imagined, and Owen often got caught up in a two-man or even a three-man bag! Once caught, let alone scored, Irving even struggled to pass.

Hayward can no longer score efficiently, and Tatum looks too immature in front of the Pacers' defensive system.

As for Horford, he's the perfect lubricant to make the team better. If it weren't for the inability to renew his contract, Henson would never have chosen to trade him away.

A good lubricant can make a car better, but if the performance of the car itself is not good, no matter how good your lubricant is, it will not help. And the current Celtic is the car that is not good in itself.

In this way, the Celtic offense struggled very much. Fortunately, Stevens is smart enough to rotate time for Marcus. Morris caught Kuzma, who was poorly defended, and this gave the Celtics hope of chasing points.

But it's a pity that Marcus. Morris can score in the rotation, and there are plenty of players on Henson's side who can score in the rotation.

Siakam had 12 points, Kuzma had 13 and Derrick. Rose, on the other hand, scored 23 points in one fell swoop!

After scoring 50 points in a single game, he immediately scored 23 points. Rose's stellar form has put to shame all those who think he's just a flash in the pan.

There is no doubt that he has become accustomed to such a role as a bench bandit under Henson.

Eventually, when the red light on the rebound came on, Brad. Stevens sighed silently.

Why does Henson say Stevens is going to be very difficult this year? Because fans' expectations of Celtic are actually inconsistent with Celtic's strength.

Last season, Tatum had a great playoff appearance. People naturally think that Irving + Tatum + Hayward is enough for the Celtics to dominate the East.

But how bad the actual situation is, only Henson and Stevens and others know how bad it is.

When a team is less than people expect, there is a lot of pressure on the manager. Because once the team can't play, the first person to take the blame is the head coach.

"Hold on, Brad. The season has just begun, and you still have plenty of opportunities for trial and error. After the game, Henson could only give Stevens some encouragement. After all, they are competitors on the basketball court.

117-109, the Pacers won at home against the Celtics. And Rose's 23 points are still talked about.

So far, after Oladipo's injury, the Pacers have won two in a row. And before he returns from injury, Henson has one last opponent to deal with - the Houston Rockets!

Compared to the Celtics, the Rockets are in a much better situation. Although the Rockets' record is only a poor 3-5 record now, Henson believes that the Rockets' quality is up to expectations.

At the very least, the Rockets have James. Harden and Chris. Paul, the most expensive guard line combination in the league!

Henson himself is looking forward to this match, as the Rockets are the team most likely to topple the Warriors in the West. In other words, it is not impossible for the Pacers to meet the Rockets in this year's Finals. So, Henson cherishes every opportunity to play against the Rockets!

What's more, the Rockets also have his old player Paul in charge. He doesn't remember much about and Chris. What was it like for Paul to be an enemy?
