"Greg. Popovich: Henson. Joe is changing the rules of basketball. ”

"Pat. Riley: I can't believe the Pacers were able to do something that ahead of their time. ”

"Steve. Cole: Henson. Joe ushered in a new era, and it was a lot more difficult for us to win the championship. ”

"Larry. Bird: Henson left more than just championships for the basketball world! He was the greatest coach. ”

The Pacers defeated the Rockets 128-109 in a game that was the focus of attention. However, after the game, Henson. Joe exploded all over the world.

Because of the lineup he used in this game, people have never seen it before!

And unlike the Warriors, the Warriors' small lineup and three-point shooting style of play can actually be emulated by many teams. But Henson's style of play is not something that all teams can imitate.

After all, you need five players who are very well-balanced in terms of physical condition and individual ability to form such a squad. And not all teams have the same staffing as the Pacers.

In other words, Henson has pioneered a whole new style of play, and it's clearly a winning style of play. But other teams want to learn, but they can't learn at all.

To build an ultimate lineup, the conditions are very demanding. This is the only one that can make an effect! This shows how groundbreaking Henson's move was.

When Henson went to work the next day, his Cadillac had barely entered the underground parking lot when he was stopped by a group of reporters.

If it weren't for the stadium security guard showing up in time to help Henson out of the siege, it is estimated that Henson would be late for the first time today.

Walking into the stadium, the players were also talking about yesterday's victory. If you accidentally make history, who can calm down?

But Henson's appearance quickly calmed everyone down. Everybody knows that if you don't train well, you'll sit on the bench.

After the morning training session, the training ground was also full of reporters during the media opening session at noon.

It can be said that this formation is similar to the pomp and circumstance when Henson announced that he would retire after playing this season.

"Coach Henson, with such a winning weapon in your hands, will you choose to retire?"

"Don't you want to win a few more championships?"

"Can you talk about your team building ideas? When did you plan to build such a lineup? ”

As yesterday, almost all the reporters on the training ground gathered around Henson. As for the other players, there are few reporters interviewed.

The players all smiled helplessly, in Indianapolis, there is really only one protagonist......

Of course, Henson's change of formation also attracted a lot of criticism. One of the most talked about is, "Can defenders still be reused under Coach Henson?" ”

Oladipo, who has just returned from injury, is considered an embarrassing object. The team played so well when you were injured, and it could even be said that it made history, can Oladipo not be embarrassed?

As a result, there have been a lot of rumors in the market that a number of Pacers guard players have lost Henson's trust and will be dropped.

Henson did not give any response to this. Not because he has a weak heart, but because he really doesn't want to be distracted by these retarded remarks.

Nov. 7, American Airlines Center Arena, Pat. Riley has been looking forward to this game.

Because today, the team visiting Miami is the Indiana Pacers!

Today's tickets have long been sold out, and everyone wants to see for themselves how powerful the ultimate lineup really is. And Pat. Riley, too, is looking forward to it.

He couldn't believe that the concept of basketball in his mind had become a reality.

Before the game, in addition to discussing the ultimate lineup, the media was also discussing the topic of Oladipo and other defenders being dropped by Henson. But when the starters of both sides stood in the center circle, the reporters were confused.

Henson, instead of continuing to use the ultimate lineup today, switched back to the regular lineup!

Brogdon, Oladipo, Paul. George, Antetokounmpo, and Brooke. Lopez, Henson's lineup combination today was lackluster.

People didn't expect Henson to let the rumored abandoned Oladipo start directly.

At the beginning, everyone thought that Henson must be trying to win steadily, so he wouldn't take down the ultimate lineup from the beginning.

Then, there is no then.

People waited a whole game and still didn't see Henson put that dreaded "future lineup" on the field.

The whole game was spent in such a dull way, and "Little Wade" Oladipo, who had just returned from injury, used 25 points and 5 rebounds to suppress the real Wade's 13 points and 4 assists.

There were no surprises in the scoreline between the two teams, 119-107, and the Pacers won by 12 points.

"What the hell is this guy!?" Pat. Riley was a little puzzled in the luxurious private room, shouldn't Henson send his strongest lineup? Yesterday he just slaughtered the Rockets with that lineup, and today he has converged.

Henson, of course, has his own considerations, and he deliberately doesn't want to go all the way to the dark. If you rely on the ultimate lineup so early, you will definitely be targeted in the playoffs.

Therefore, Henson only intends to activate his emergency plan in a critical moment. And this emergency plan is the ultimate lineup!

Of course, there is another very overbearing reason why Henson dares to do this. For this reason, he also told reporters unabashedly at the post-match press conference.

"I used a different approach to win the game. So, why should I change the lineup? Also, those who say Oladipo and the other Pacers guards will be abandoned, take a good look at Victor's performance today! ”

Henson's words caused dissatisfaction among many, with some journalists believing that Henson was too arrogant. You don't need to have the strongest lineup, if you have to keep a hand, you will definitely pay the price!

"This year's NBA competition is different, is Coach Henson a little too confident?"

"Of course he can choose the lineup he wants, after all, he's the head coach of the Pacers. But equally, he is responsible for all his actions! ”

"Henson is great, but if he weren't so proud, he'd be even greater."

From this point on, reporters were expecting Henson to lose. As long as the Pacers lose, Henson will be a slap in the face.

You see, you don't use the strongest lineup, and now you're losing, right?

But reporters waited and waited, but they didn't wait for a loss for the Pacers......

After the game against the Heat, on November 17, the Pacers beat the Hawks at home. Rose scored 18 points in that game, and Oladipo also scored 23 points.

The performance of these two people undoubtedly debunked the rumors that the "Pacers guard was abandoned".

On Nov. 19, the Pacers beat the Jazz 121-94. The Jazz's top scorer today is "Spain's Golden Boy" Ricky. Rubio, who scored a season-high 28 points.

However, when a team relies on Rubio to score, you know how bad their offense is.

On the 21st, the Pacers defeated the Hornets. On the 23rd, great expectations were placed on Popovich. But in the end, the Pacers won the Spurs with key goals in the final few rounds and completed the double against the Spurs in the regular season.

It is worth mentioning that even in the final scorching moment of the game against the Spurs, Henson did not change to the ultimate lineup.

You guys think I can't win without this lineup? Then I'll show you the win!

The Pacers' winning streak continued into Nov. 29, and reporters rushed to take a look at the Pacers' schedule after Henson's win over another James-led team at Staples Center.

However, it was only then to find out in despair that the Pacers' November games had all been played! Under all kinds of doubts, Henson was stunned to play a complete victory in November!

13 consecutive wins, 16 wins and 1 loss, ranked first in the league!

At this point, everyone was speechless. Sometimes, to have strength is to be able to do whatever you want. Even if I don't use the strongest squad in your mouth, I can win a full month.

At this point, the focus is no longer on whether Henson will slap himself in the face, but on a more terrifying fact.

"Henson. Is it possible for Joe's team to win 70 wins in a single season again four years later? ”

On an ESPN show, O'Neal brought up the topic.

It's a bit scary for a coach to win more than 70 games in three seasons......
