058: Horror Record

To be honest, even Henson himself didn't expect that the Pacers would be able to hit three points in a row! The three-point shot itself is a formidable weapon that has not yet been fully developed by the league, and more often than not, coaches use the three-point shot rather than use it as a regular tactic.

But just now, in the past few minutes, the Pacers destroyed the Nuggets' defense with a three-point shot, leaving them nearly 20 points behind in an instant!

From Wesley. Matthews starts and goes to Mike. Dunleavy ended, and Henson's previous hoarding of three-point shooters began to play their part.

Timeout, Cameron. Anthony was naturally taken by George. Carl scolded. But after so many years of being scolded, Anthony has long been tired. Letting Carl scold himself there, Anthony simply ignored it. Not only does he ignore it off the court, but when he gets on the field, Anthony will still play on his own.

Henson, on the other hand, didn't encourage his players to make random shots because they were on fire. The ending of the indiscriminate shot, Henson had already tried it when he lost to the Bucks in the last game.

He warned everyone that when receiving the ball in a position that they are not good at, it is better to choose a breakthrough or a mid-range shot. If you catch the ball in a position you are good at, don't hesitate to shoot a three-pointer!

Now that the players are feeling hot, all Henson has to do is guide the players to shoot correctly.

At the same time, Henson also temporarily drew several off-ball running tactics for Dunleavy, and there is no doubt that the next offensive focus of the Pacers will be on Dunleavy, who has already shot his hands.

Even with an 18-point advantage, Vogel is cautious, and at this point, Vogel admires Henson as a rookie. Sometimes Henson does seem a little unserious, such as when he is interviewed, he actually wants to tease the intern reporter. But at critical moments, when it's time to be serious, Henson never goes wrong!

Vogel, of course, didn't know that Henson wasn't really trying to tease Christine, he was just using Christine's hand to give George. Old man Carl is in a set. By the time the old man reacted, unfortunately, they were already 18 points behind!

After the pause, the camera did not immediately give the court, but gave a close-up of Anthony sitting on the sidelines. Replacing the star of the house at the moment of crisis when the team was 18 points behind, George Brown. Carl really doesn't trust Anthony anymore.

Although Anthony is famous, his contribution to this game is indeed negative. Anthony's defensive performance alone is enough to make most coaches sneer at him.

Without Anthony, George. Carl only wants Afflaro to transform into the "superstar" he is today. But after the opening, Aflaro didn't show anything, but it was Tai. Lawson played well, cutting through the Pacers' defense with a scalpel-like breakaway as soon as he got on the court.

Great. Lawson is George. Carl's latest focus is on developing a new player, Crazy Carl can not bird any newcomer to the team, except for Lawson. Because George. Carl knows very well that his system must have a good point guard, preferably one who can pass the ball and score on his own, to be able to bring it up. With Billups on the wane, Lawson has undoubtedly become the next master of the Nuggets in Carl's mind.

Lawson's breakaway layup really made Henson's eyes shine, and he also used the data analysis module to look at Lawson's potential and overall evaluation. Admittedly, Lawson may be one of the few high-potential players that Henson missed in the draft.

Lawson has a lot of potential, but he single-handedly wants to stop the Pacers' already crazy offense? Mad Carl, your odd soldier isn't heavy enough!

Lawson's beautiful breakthrough layup just gave Carl a little confidence, but after Holiday came over, he immediately returned Lawson with a change of hand layup, so that the Nuggets' signs that had not yet ignited were ruthlessly extinguished.

Billups' absence means that Holiday will be completely liberated on the offensive end! Lawson's defensive ability and defensive experience are not comparable to Billups' at all. Just by playing a simple fake screen with Horford, Holiday easily broke through to the basket and scored easily with those hands that didn't distinguish between the main and the secondary.

The offense was crazy, but the Pacers' defense was still strong under Henson's urging. Lawson made his second run into the box and he wanted to be Carl's superstar tonight. However, Horford told the sophomore rookie with a big risk, less dreaming, this is Indianapolis, even if there is a superstar today, it is also a Pacers player!

Horford is not like the likes of Howard and Hibbert, and people who don't know him will think that he is average defensively, after all, Horford is not a brutalist center, and he is not so violent. But in fact, Horford has a strong ability to read the game and is quite accurate in judging the timing of the block. It's just that most of the time, Horford's defensive philosophy is to interfere with the opposition's missed shots, not complete the block.

So Henson wasn't surprised to see Horford offending Lawson. His willingness to trade Hibbert for such a center forward is not a whim.

The Pacers are now very worthy of their team name, the Pacers, as they can fight back as fast as the lead car in the Indy 500!

From Horford to Holiday the Pacers were able to advance quickly at all five positions. Without the traditional big center and muscular power forward, once the Pacers soared, even George. Carl's Denver "track team" is ashamed of itself.

Ending the battle with a lot of space before the opponent's defensive formation is formed, this is Henson's attacking philosophy. And Henson's carefully orchestrated tactics ensured that the Pacers' offense was fast and not chaotic.

Granger passes the ball to Holiday and Holiday pulls the ball to Matthews in the bottom right corner from beyond the three-point line, drawing the Nuggets' defense to the right side of the court. Horford, meanwhile, set up an off-ball screen, and Dunleavy got rid of the opposition and got space to fire on the open left.

When Matthews' basketball arrived, Dunleavy was like receiving a hot potato and immediately threw it out. Subsequently......

Boom! Three-point hit, the whole process did not exceed 8 seconds! With 23 points, the Nuggets looked hopeless.

The third quarter of the game was spent in the Pacers' crazy goal. After Henson replaced Dunleavy, Danny. Green can also score three points when he goes up! Henson recruited a bunch of outside players who could shoot and defend for this kind of moment!

Bird and Pritchard were stunned, they didn't know how many goals the Pacers had scored, anyway, the Pacers could shoot at all five positions, including after Horford went off the court, Henson used McRoberts off the bench, this white interior is also a master who can shoot.

Until Paul. It wasn't until George slammed a three-pointer from the right that the crazy scoring spree came to an end. Reggie. Miller sat motionless in the commentary box, the once greatest shooter speechless.

He doesn't have exact stats at hand, and he doesn't know exactly how many points the Pacers scored in the third quarter and how many shots they hit in a row. He only knew that before the third quarter of the game was over, the Pacers' scores were already in triple digits!

"Bird, did you ever play basketball like this in your day?" Pritchard swallowed, he wanted to reach for the paper to wipe the sweat, but found that his hands were trembling slightly. Tough defense, quick counterattacks, infinite three-shot ...... This unreasonable, unconventional and even amateurish-looking style of play has resulted in one of the greatest games in the history of the Consec Arena!

Simple and rough doesn't mean bad, it's like a simple and rough long pass in football. Even if so many people scold, aren't there so many teams who win because of this?

"Playing like this? No, we've never played like this, because Auerbach is not crazy. Henson? Henson, he's a ......" Bird was suddenly speechless, for he realized that the word madman could no longer describe Henson well.

Until the electronic beep of the scene remembered that the fans and Reggie. Miller finally closed their mouths. It's over, it's finally over, and the dizzying offensive frenzy was forced to stop because the game time was up.

Everyone looked up at the big screen at the scene, 113 to ...... Than 76! At the end of the third quarter, the Pacers led the Nuggets by 37 points! Even if the Pacers don't score a goal in the fourth quarter, the Nuggets may not be able to score 37 points!

At this time, Reggie. Miller received detailed statistics from the rear.

The Pacers hit 20 consecutive shots in the first quarter of the third quarter and scored 54 points in a single quarter! 9 of 10 three-pointers in a single quarter, of which Dunleavy made 5 shots outside the three-point line, and the shooting rate was embarrassing!

Reggie. Miller shook his head and looked at Henson, who was chatting and laughing with the players on the bench. Joe.

His questioning of Henson and Dunleavy at first now seemed so stupid.

Just as the cheers died down, Henson suddenly stood in front of the technical stand, faced the stands, and waved his arms like a conductor.

The cheers erupted again, as if they were about to topple the dome of the Consec Arena. It looked like the boss didn't want the cheers to stop.
