The Basketball Court Swordsman

The game was as intense as everyone expected, and Stevens did not disappoint Henson. He has tuned the Celtics team very well. Every player knows what he should do on the court and is very willing to play his role.

The reason why the Celtics have been able to beat the strong teams repeatedly this season is that the Celtics may be the only team that has such a thing as a "system" among all bad teams.

Other bad teams, such as the Bucks, are basically playing around. It is also because of this that Middleton and Brandon Knight were able to brush up encouraging numbers in Milwaukee.

The Celtics used the power of the system and the team to play a smooth offense without any big-name players other than Rondo.

Stevens's mind, coupled with Rondo's command on the court, makes the Celtics look like a weak team at all. In fact, most of the games the Celtics lost this season did not exceed double-digit points.

In other words, even if a strong team wants to chew the Celtics, they must spend a lot of effort.

The Pacers scored as soon as the offense came up, and Paul George's breakthrough made Jerry Bayless somewhat helpless. Bayless's height of 1.91 meters was originally not good at the second position, and he was in a very embarrassing situation on the defensive end.

Defensive point guard, Bayless slowed down. Defensive shooting guard, Bayless's confrontation has suffered a bit.

What's more, his counterpoint is still a big man with a height of 2 meters 06. George was very thin when he first joined the league, and his confrontation ability was average. But George now has no shortcomings in confrontation.

Leaning on Bayless, he walked in, and after hitting the basket, George jumped up for a layup. Bayless is helpless with George's height, and Brandon Bass is not an excellent defender.

In this way, George easily scored the first point for the Pacers. The weaknesses of the Celtics were squeezed by Henson. Seeing that Bass was extremely weak in assisting defense, Henson also had the confidence to make the plan successful later.

But the Pacers did not gain the advantage, because soon, the Celtics launched a counterattack.

Rajon Rondo first assisted Jeff Green and scored a mid-range shot. Jeff Green is undoubtedly the Celtics' first scorer this season. His offensive methods are very, very diverse, such as follow-up fast breaks, top shots, running shots, singles with the ball outside, and offensives through the pick and roll... If the opponent's wing is not big enough, Jeff Green even Able to score in singles in the low back!

You can understand that Stevens made Jeff Green into Paul George wearing a Celtic player. After all, Jeff Green is also 2.06 meters tall and has the same versatile skills. How Henson used George last season, this season he used Green.

The difference is that although Green is versatile, he has no skills. Although used as George, the offensive stability is not even worse than George.

But for the first offense, under the blessing of Rondo's timely pass, Jeff Green managed to get rid of Jimmy Butler and made a shot easily.

Afterwards, Rondo took off by himself and used an unexpected breakthrough to get to the rim. The fake fax deceived Horford to steal the score.

The score immediately became 4 to 2, and the game was very intense from the beginning.

"Look, what am I talking about? The Celtics are not easy to deal with." Seeing the Celtics quickly launched a counterattack, Henson was not nervous, but smiled relaxedly.

The resilience of the Celtics is what he expected. If the Celtics were defeated at the beginning, Henson would be disappointed.

Subsequently, Jimmy Butler strengthened his defense against Jeff Green, and Chris Paul was even more jealous when facing his old enemy Rondo.

Vogel thought that restricting Rondo and Green, the Celtics' offense would be a stoppage. Unexpectedly, the Celtics' scoring momentum has not weakened at all.

Brandon Bass has made several successful mid-range shots. The soft touch of this short insider has allowed him to shoot 56.2% from the field this season. This data can be ranked in the top five in the league's fourth position.

Subsequently, Jerry Bayless also began to play. Although on the defensive end, Bayless's positioning is somewhat awkward. But on the offensive end, Bayless's ability is very good.

His speed and explosiveness give him a terrifying and fatal first step, fast action, strong coordination, and return of the CIC. Although Bayless is only 1.91 meters, his full distance from the ground when he jumps can also save him from a lot of interference.

The Celtics played a lot of blooming performance, which is exactly the same as the Pacers! It is impossible for you to grasp the focus of his offense! Because everyone on the field is the focus of offense!

On the bench, Stevens’s "Poor Man Horford" Salinger performed very well. He was able to make a mid-range shot, defensively, and pass the ball. He was also particularly good at secondary offenses. Salinger, a short insider with limited ability, was also Stevens used flowers.

Although the Celtics are at a disadvantage in terms of height, their offense mostly ends in the middle distance. So Henson can also be understood as-Stevens has no center at all!

These insiders are all using the third position to end the offense. No center, this is a key word...

During the period, Henson also changed many strategies. But Stevens's excellent on-the-spot command and his understanding of Henson, the Celtics are always able to overcome danger.

Coupled with Rondo's steady control, the Celtics' scoring efficiency has been very stable.

The game ended in the third quarter, and the Celtics were only 4 points behind the Pacers at home.

In the North Shore Garden, fans cheered. Obviously, the Celtics can drag such a lineup to the present, it is already very remarkable.

At this time, the ambition of the Celtics fans is not to lose less than to win, but to really want to drag the defending champion down! Perhaps the media's praise made the Boston fans a little bit fluttered. They really thought that the current Celtics were "Henson Killers."

"The tough Celtics put the Pacers into a hard fight. I believe that in the fourth quarter, the team can make a comeback under the leadership of Coach Stevens! Don’t forget, what Coach Stevens is best at is setting the key. Ball tactics! In this field, even the Big Three in Miami have been brutally killed!"

Sean Grande brought out the Celtics' game that beat the Heat. Although the Celtics won the game beautifully, Stevens' layout was also perfect. But to be honest, it is always annoying to take it out after so long.

And Grande seems to have forgotten that Henson is also a coach who is very good at playing key rounds.

Unlike fans and commentators, Stevens is nervous about the upcoming fourth quarter.

In the first three games, although the team bit down, only he, the head coach, knew that it was already very difficult to bite the score. As long as the team misses one or two offensive rounds, the score will be immediately opened.

What worries Stevens even more is that Henson has yet to come up with that secret tactic so far. Stevens believed that Henson was not alarmist. That guy still has cards in his hand, and it is likely to be a trump card enough to tell the winner!

At this point, the game had come to the fourth quarter of the decisive victory. Henson pondered for a while and found that the plan could almost be implemented.

"Let's start, the last quarter, let's try." Henson picked up the tactical board and called Paul, George, Jimmy Butler, Danny Green and Antetokounmpo.

Vogel and Becky Harmon have a tight heart. If they succeed today, Henson and the coaching staff will be highly praised. But if they fail, they believe that all accusations will point to them!

"Listen, I know what we are going to do is very unconventional. But believe me, I am sure of success! Just do what I did during training and execute according to the plan I made. Then, the victory of this game is ours Yes. Don’t be nervous and relax. Then, listen to me!"

Henson walked into the middle of these players, then picked up the tactical board to write and draw.

After the timeout was over, the audience was in an uproar. Stevens hurriedly looked around the court, but found that Henson seemed to be playing bigger than he thought!

"What's the situation!?" Sean Grand yelled from the commentary, "Chris Paul, Danny Green, Jimmy Butler, Paul George and Antetokounmpo? Henson? The coach sent five outside players on the field!"

Everyone was stunned. Did Henson change the wrong person? Because at this time on the court, the Pacers do not have any real insiders!

He sent a five-small lineup!

In the face of everyone's shocked eyes, Henson remained calm. A plan considered to be "self-digging the grave" has officially started!
