Siakam has been put into training by Henson as soon as he arrives, and it's already January, and the playoffs will officially start in mid-April. So, even with the bonus of the Advancement Acceleration Badge, time is still very tight for Henson and Siakam.

Fraser and Nash immediately began training with Siakam, and Henson believes that under the guidance of these two guys, Siakam will not have a hard time developing three-point shots.

Whether this "backup plan" can be successful depends on whether Siakam's training can be effective.

But Henson believes the chances of success are still good. After all, Siakam is a player who is willing to work hard. He will do his best for his own and his father's dreams, and as long as he works hard, he will most likely be able to redeem talents!

Siakam's potential is as high as A-rank!

After all the work on the signings, Henson was finally able to put his full energy into the game. The Pacers, who are extremely stable in terms of morale and lineup, also played a good record in the January game.

On January 5, the Pacers defeated the Nets 121-109 at home.

On January 7 at the Bankers' Living Arena, Henson avenged his revenge on Madison Square Garden. 123-109, the Pacers beat the Knicks to the point where they couldn't find the north.

Although on Jan. 12, the Denver Nuggets overwhelmed Henson with a magical 46.9 percent three-point shooting percentage. But a day later, the Pacers immediately won 108-95 over the Pelicans.

With 3 wins and 1 loss in the last four games, the Pacers continue to hold the No. 1 position in the league. At the same time, the progress of Siakam and others is still ongoing. Everything is moving in the right direction,

On January 15, after the game against the Pelicans, the NBA officially announced the results of the second round of voting for the All-Star Game. In the East, Antetokounmpo became the second-highest player in the front court after James.

And Paul. George and CP3, as always, are on the list.

There is no doubt that the strength of the Pacers this season has made the players once again loved by fans. And Antetokounmpo is a supernova born out of nowhere.

Last season, Antetokounmpo was told that he had some potential. ”

But now, let's see what people say about Antetokounmpo.

"After James, the next sign of the league."

"An epoch-making player who will have great success at Indianapolis."

"There is no more big man in this world who can be as versatile as Antetokounmpo."

This season, Antetokounmpo's progress has been evident. His scoring average has skyrocketed to 22.9 points per game, up from 16.9 last season. With both George and CP3 willing to sacrifice their shots for victory, Antetokounmpo has undoubtedly become one of the most dominant players in the league.

He has an even higher finishing rate under the basket than James. The only downside is that the three-point shot is less than 30%. But Henson has said that Antetokounmpo is the kind of player who doesn't need to shoot to be successful.

As Henson had anticipated before the season, Antetokounmpo has thoroughly delivered on his talent this season. And he is also a big asset for Henson and the Warriors to compete for the championship this season.

As soon as the results of the second-round All-Star voting were announced, Antetokounmpo immediately became a hotly debated player. Everyone is discussing where the ceiling of this guy is. Henson, on the other hand, thought to himself how to keep this guy in Indianapolis.

From the start, Antetokounmpo was key to Henson's revival of the Pacers. While still winning three consecutive championships, Henson had anticipated Jimmy. The possibility of Butler and Leonard leaving. And what will the walkers do after these two men leave? Antetokounmpo is the key.

Now, it's time to offer Antetokounmpo his next long-term contract.

So that afternoon, Henson and Bird discussed the matter in just ten minutes. After all, there must be no objections to the price of Antetokounmpo's contract extension. Only the top salary can be worthy of the identity of this little guy. And now, the Pacers are also in a position to offer Antetokounmpo a contract with a maximum salary.

What is being discussed now is nothing more than the issue of early renewal time.

"I think we'll wait until the All-Star break to renew his contract. In this way, it can be regarded as a surprise for that kid. Henson's words are still half unsaid, and renewing his contract before the All-Star will maximize Antetokounmpo's commercial value.

Bird agreed with Henson's idea, and the two owners were naturally more than willing to keep the super-forward, who is second only to James, in Indianapolis.

Now everything is ready, everything, just waiting for the All-Star Game to begin.

The Pacers played very well in January. In the remaining half a month, the Pacers played seven games and lost only one. That includes a 19-point win over the Rockets on Jan. 29.

As we all know, in addition to Antetokounmpo, this year is also James. A year of metamorphosis for Harden. After leaving Howard and Kardashian and welcoming D'Antoni, Harden finally began to move towards the ranks of the league's top superstars.

This season, James. Harden is averaging nearly 30 points per game and has 11 assists. And Harden's shooting percentage is more consistent than before, and his improvement on the defensive end is visible to the naked eye. He's still one of the best foul makers in the league, but there's more to scoring than just fouls.

In this year's MVP rankings, Harden is ranked third behind Westbrook, who averages a triple-double per game, and James, who is all-around! This shows how dramatically people have changed their perception of Harden.

A few years ago, if people had said that Harden was the league's No. 1 SG, there might have been a lot of controversy. But to say that now, even Henson would not question it. Nonsense, in the top three MVP rankings, only Harden is the second position. If he is not the first SG, then who qualifies?

And although Harden is only third in the MVP rankings, Henson believes that Harden is at least no worse than Westbrook, the number one. Westbrook's triple-double average sounds scary, but everyone knows exactly how this triple-double average came about.

The Rockets' 35-15 record this season is also a testament to Harden's ability. At this point, Henson also thinks he does a better job than Westbrook.

In the context of Harden and Antetokounmpo taking off together, the Pacers vs Rockets and Antetokounmpo vs Harden games were originally very gimmicky.

But no one expected that the game would lose its suspense as early as the middle of the third quarter. Henson doesn't know if he has some kind of magic or if Harden has a psychological shadow on the Pacers. But when he plays against the Pacers and Henson, Harden will always play out of style.

The same was true today, when Harden made 17 shots and hit just three shots. When Harden plays like this, the Rockets will undoubtedly have a hard time winning the game.

Antetokounmpo, on the other hand, was the exact opposite of Harden, shooting 56.5 percent from the field and scoring 33 points.

The huge gap in the performance of the two has created the result of this comparison. 120-101, the Pacers delivered the Rockets' most humiliating loss of the season.

This game is undoubtedly a perfect end to the Pacers' January. Halfway through the regular season, the Pacers now have a 41-5 record and still sit first in the league.

The Warriors' current 40-7 is already very perverted, but Henson has led the team to do better than the Warriors! Before the playoffs even started, the two sides seemed to be secretly battling.

Heading into February, the Pacers' momentum is still unabated. As soon as it opened, it defeated the Magic, Nets, Pistons and Thunder, and won a wave of four consecutive wins. It wasn't until Feb. 8 that the Pacers' winning streak was finally halted when they suffered revenge from the Cavaliers at home.

Antetokounmpo looked unhappy after the game, "We should have won, but there were so many unexpected things happening on the court. ”

It can be seen that the current Antetokounmpo is no longer satisfied with All-Star and beautiful statistics. His hunger for victory and championship is very high.

Seeing Antetokounmpo's angry look, Henson slightly hooked the corners of his mouth.

Now, there's only a week left until the All-Star Game begins. It's time to talk to Antetokounmpo about that.

Henson mysteriously walked into the tunnel, and tonight, he'll find a way to cheer Antetokounmpo's up......
