At half past seven on November 9, 2013, at the luxurious Barclays Center, Henson was once again besieged by the New York media.

Put last season, Spike. Lee would certainly be more than willing to join in the siege of Henson. Joe's team went up. But now, he has a slight dislike for the New York media.

Because the man who was belittled by the media as useless was working harder than everyone present......

"I said, I'm going to let you know what a real Big Five team is. So, don't ask anything, let's see you on the field. As for Billy. I disagree with Mr. Kim's remarks. It's ridiculous to use squad value to illustrate the problem. ”

Henson ended the "struggle" with the reporters with such a sentence, and then walked briskly into the locker room, ready to make the final deployment. At this time, it was just twenty-four hours since the Pacers' last game. Of those 24 hours, Henson slept less than four hours......

"I don't think you need to say anything, you know, we have to play as fast as possible in this game! I know that the Nets' starting lineup is worth an exaggerated $82.39 million, directly exceeding the league's $7,148 luxury tax threshold! I also know that the Nets' salary this season is directly over $100 million! This is a lineup of 100 million yuan piled up with money! But let's not forget that most of their players are past their prime, and their physical condition is not as good as they used to be. So, speed up the pace for me! Let those old men kill themselves in the turnaround run! ”

In fact, the Nets spent far more money than Henson said, this season the NBA began to implement a new tiered tax method, plus the Nets exceeded 30.73 million, so Russian owner Prokhorov will pay more than $88.47 million in luxury tax! Such a horrific tax is the highest in NBA history. With a $100 million roster and $88.47 million in luxury tax, the Nets are simply the Chelsea of the NBA.

And no wonder, Billy. Kim will hype up the value of this lineup. Because it's true that not every team is willing to pay so much money.

Henson tapped the whiteboard in the dressing room, and he didn't have much to say, as the detailed tactical plan he had already communicated to the players during training this afternoon. At this time, Henson tends to emphasize only a few important considerations.

"Don't worry, boss, we'll crush them with a galloping attack." Paul agreed, and everyone nodded their heads.

And on the other side, Jason. Kidd, the new manager, was very nervous. As a player, Kidd is already one of the greatest point guards in the league. But as head coach, it was Kidd's rookie season. If there is one coach he fears the most this season, Popovich will definitely be second. The number one is Henson, of course!

"Be patient, don't make mistakes, have a chance to shoot again! We can't let the Pacers play a quick counter-attack, and if that happens, it's over. Try to use your experience and patience to control the pace, it's a long game, and the only thing we can do is to hold on to it until the end! ”

It seems that today, Henson has instead become the more aggressive side.

Finally, at eight o'clock in the evening, the long-awaited matchup of the fans began on time.

Today, Charles. Barkley, Kenny. Smith and O'Neal became the commentators for the game. Barkley volunteered to comment on the game, and in his words, he said, "I can't wait to rip off Billy. Kim's last fig leaf! ”

"The Barclays Centre was really buzzing today, and I think the ticket price for this game must have been hyped up! But I have to say, I'm afraid most New York fans are going to be disappointed today! As soon as Barkley opened his mouth, he smelled of gunpowder.

"Are you so sure? You know, the Pacers are facing the five-star Nets. What's more, on the bench of the Nets, there is still Jason. Are there such a strong man as Terry and Kirilenko? Didn't people say? The Russians will walk into the White House with AK47s to be received by the President of the United States. Meaning, the Nets will win the O'Brien Cup this year! ”

"Five-star Nets? Take a look at the Pacers' starters, CP3, George, Leonard, West and Horford, which one is easy to mess with? I support Coach Henson's statement that he's going to show the whole league what the Big Five is! ”

"Alright gentlemen, put aside your childish bickering, the game is on!"

After the referee threw the ball into the air, Lopez used his height and reach to gain the Nets the first shot. Henson wasn't standing on the sidelines, and I don't know if he was pretending to be forced or genuinely confident. However, the New York media are more inclined to believe the former possibility.

Delon handed the ball to Pierce after half-time, while Garnett tacitly covered the lift. It can be seen that these two elders brought their tacit understanding in Boston to Brooklyn together.

After receiving the ball, Pierce didn't think about it and broke through directly! Although Leonard has slender arms, he is still a little powerless after being delayed by Garnett.

Just as Pierce was accelerating to break through, David. West suddenly turned sideways. It turned out that West didn't guard Garnett at all, and at the moment when Garnett picked up the pick-and-roll, he retreated to the penalty area in order to guard against Pierce.

The defensive system created by Henson ate the two elders of the Green Army to death! Don't forget, the Celtics were no match for the Pacers as early as last season! For Pierce and Garnett, Henson can be said to know everything about it.

Caught off guard, Pierce failed to stop the car and crashed directly into West.

Is this still worth it? You go ask the Heat players who would dare to hit West? It's not that West is strong. It's that this guy is too good at acting.

As soon as Pierce touched West, West fell back deftly. The referee immediately blew the whistle and signaled Pierce to attack and foul!

Sure enough, West can't be touched.

"Offensive fouls, that's fine. David. West was just outside the reasonable collision zone, and he had the right amount of judgment on the defensive position. ”

Seeing Barkley talking, O'Neill cast a disdainful look. That guy didn't lie to himself for offensive fouls back then.

Kidd shook his head, not because of the team's offensive fouls, but because in the first round, Henson showed him the Pacers' impregnable defensive system.

When to change guards, when to press, when to hold back...... The walkers are clear and cooperative. And Kidd knows very well that the Nets under him are far from the level of the Pacers......

The Nets' first offense ended like this, Henson stood on the sidelines and clapped his hands, and Horford immediately understood and sent a quick baseline shot!

Paul took the ball and ran straight away, without even giving his old rival Delon any time to react.

"The Pacers are attacking quickly, and it looks like Coach Henson is trying to get the game up to a fast pace today! It's true that the Nets aren't a team that can play fast. Paul broke through to the three-point line, but Delon eventually stopped him. Paul didn't let the attack stop, he gave the ball to Leonard, who cut in from the flank! ”

Barkley felt like his mouth couldn't keep up with the pace of the game, and the pacers were unusually fast from the first round!

Leonard received Paul's pass and walked to the basket, and Pierce tried his best to defend the No. 2, but found that he was too weak to do so. Leonard is the new league star, but what about Pierce? Everyone has to admit that "truth" is already on the decline.

Seeing that his good brother Pierce could not stop Leonard's breakthrough, Garnett sped up two steps to the basket! Admittedly, the Pacers' fast-paced offense struggled him.

Seeing that Leonard had burst into a position where he could almost attack the frame, Garnett jumped as hard as he could, ready to be behind Pierce!

But in the air, KG did not meet Leonard as he wished. I saw Leonard pass the ball between Pierce and Garnett, and the unattended David. Big West caught the basketball in one step inside the free throw line, and without even jumping, he shot directly!

The basketball went into the net crisply, and the Pacers easily cracked the Nets' defense.

Horford's precise and fast serve, Paul's steady push and guidance, Leonard's breakaway, George's containment and West's final finish.

I have to admit that the Pacers' offense played a greater role than the Nets' starting five.

Henson was not a man of his word, and he often used highly deceptive lies to achieve success. For example, deliberately putting smoke bombs in the draft. For example, claiming to rotate and sending out the strongest lineup. It was claimed that Paul was going to be injured, and as a result, this ace suddenly appeared and other operations that were ridiculed by the media and opponents.

But today, Henson is not lying. He said he was not joking when he wanted to show the whole league what a real Big Five team is!

From the first offense, Henson has been challenging the so-called five-star Nets!
