The Basketball Court Swordsman

Chapter 455: : Jackson going straight

The Utah Jazz at the bottom of the Western Conference did not cause much trouble to the defending champion. After Henson returned from the hospital, there were only four hours left before the game began. In other words, Henson has almost no opportunity to lead the team in training today.

After four hours, after the players rest, they basically start to warm up. It has to be said that after canceling the stay-up schedule, the time of back-to-back matches is indeed tighter for Henson and the team.

But the foundation of the defending champion is always here. Facing the bottom-most team in the West, even if the team does not have enough training time, as long as the team plays normally, it is enough to win the game.

Facts have proved that it is true.

Stevens's lover, Gordon Hayward, who once played for the Butler University Bulldogs, had a good performance in Indianapolis, a land he was familiar with. The white forward made 8 of 12 shots and scored 21 points, 3 rebounds and 3 assists efficiently.

Under the defense of the Pacers' bronze and iron walls, Hayward can repeatedly score inside and has proven his ability.

However, Hayward alone obviously cannot change the cruel fact that the Jazz is weaker. Jimmy Butler and Paul George scored 47 points together, coupled with Horford's 18-point "skills", so that the game lost suspense early.

In the end, although the score is 98 to 91. But if Henson hadn't replaced the main lineup early, the Jazz would not be able to close the score.

In this way, as planned, the Pacers did not overturn the gutter, and arranged the Jazz at the bottom of the West clearly.

The fans in the Banker's Life Arena cheered excitedly. Since Henson's return, they still don't know what it's like to fail.

At the press conference after the game, most reporters also praised the Pacers' performance. But there are always people who are eager to destroy this perfect atmosphere of victory.

"There is no doubt that the victory in this game is not worth talking about. The defending champion defeated the bottom team in the West. There is nothing to say. What we care about now is whether your team, Coach Henson, can end gold in the next game. What about the State Warriors’ 10-game winning streak? Oh, yes. Just half an hour before the end of the game here, the Warriors successfully defeated the Raptors in Toronto and won 10 consecutive victories. And this is the Warriors’ first win since 1975. Achieved ten consecutive victories twice."

A reporter stood up with a cold tone, and Henson disliked him since he said "the victory of this game is not worth saying".

No matter who the opponent is, the victory in every game is worthy of recognition. This is both respecting one's own efforts and respecting opponents. And Henson could not see any respect for this reporter!

"This is the Banker's Life Arena, Mr. Reporter. If you want to interview the Golden State Warriors, you can now go out and buy a ticket to Toronto." Henson, who was grinning just now, immediately got upset. He always believed a word. , Only respect can be exchanged for respect.

"I have the right to ask any questions here, Coach Henson."

"Then I think you know very well, I have the right to refuse to answer any of your questions, Mr. Reporter."

The reporter's face was very ugly, but he couldn't always rush to beat Henson, so he could only sit back with a bunch of tricky questions in his heart.

Obviously, I wanted to use the Warriors' ten-game winning streak to create some topics and extinguish Henson's arrogant fireworks. As everyone knows, he was severely humiliated by Henson.

After the press conference, the reporter was still unwilling. Since you can't get anything from Henson, let's make a fuss from Mark Jackson.

So the reporter from Turner Sports called his boss and made a request, "I want to go to the Bay Area tomorrow to participate in an interview with the Warriors' media opening hours!"

After the request was approved, the reporter turned to look at the huge player poster outside the Banker’s Life Arena.

There is always someone who can beat this team, and has achieved 10 consecutive victories and is very eager to tie the Warriors who have the longest record in 11 consecutive victories. This is undoubtedly possible!

"Coach Henson has always been very arrogant. He can ignore us, but when he gets on the court, he will realize how serious the consequences of ignoring us. We have won 10 consecutive victories and we are in the right shape. If possible, I am of course very willing. End coach Henson’s winning streak. He can decide to discuss us, but he can’t refuse to lose. We are only one game away from the team’s 11-game winning streak. Only idiots will give up this chance to tie the team’s history. So you I am very eager to win in Indianapolis? There is no doubt that my players and I can't wait!"

On March 3, 2014, the afternoon after the Pacers had just defeated the Utah Jazz, a speech by Mark Jackson screened the major sports portals!

I have to admire that the Internet age has brought the characteristics of news "timeliness" into full play. Less than twenty minutes after Mark Jackson finished that paragraph, all fans around the world who followed the Pacers and Warriors knew about it.

Many media claimed: This is a positive challenge from coach Mark Jackson and his ten-game winning streak to Henson!

Looking at everything he created by himself, Turner Sports' new reporter Patterson Mills was extremely proud. Henson rejects himself, does not mean that Mark Jackson will reject himself! What makes him very happy is that Mark Jackson also seems to be not very friendly to Coach Henson.

In fact, it is not unreasonable that Patterson Mills thought of finding a breakthrough from Mark Jackson.

Mark Jackson is undoubtedly an outstanding coach. After he took office, the Warriors have made visible improvements every season. A ten-game winning streak was placed two or three years ago, and fans in the Bay Area couldn't even think about it!

But Mark Jackson is not a perfect person either. Some time ago, he was revealed to be at odds with team center Andrew Bogut. A week ago, it was revealed that there was some friction with the Warriors management.

All these signs indicate that Mark Jackson is an outspoken guy. As a "player coach" who is always full of passion, Mark Jackson is always direct. In dealing with team relations, he is obviously not so smooth.

Patterson Mills proved with his own actions that Mark Jackson was indeed a bit too straight. So that when no one in the entire league dared to provoke Henson, he froze to challenge Henson!

"Coach Henson can't refuse to fail? This is a serious provocation!"

"The Warriors with ten consecutive victories challenged the Pacers, and then Coach Henson has yet to comment on Mark Jackson."

"Of course, Coach Henson will not express his opinion because he is afraid! Think about it, facing a team that has won ten consecutive victories, a normal person would be afraid."

"I think Coach Henson has undoubtedly encountered a character worse than himself."

After Mark Jackson's remarks came out, it was naturally followed by various follow-up reports hyped by the media. After all, this time Mark Jackson is not only a good mouth, but he also holds a ten-game winning streak in his hands! Therefore, in everyone's opinion, he is indeed qualified to challenge Henson.

And these reports finally converged into a consensus, that is-Henson was a bit stage fright in the face of the same reluctant Mark Jackson and the ten-game winning Warriors.

At this time, Henson, who should have been so scared in the imagination of the reporters, was practicing yoga in his mansion in Carmel District, under the guidance of a beautiful coach...

"Relax, Coach Henson, relax...Okay, now, take a deep breath and feel the process of the breath flowing in your body, yes, very good, you are doing very well..."

"Huh..." Henson tried to keep up with the coach and finished all the moves. Even in his opinion, the way he did those actions must be very stupid. But the teacher was brought by An Jiali, and Henson was not easy to refuse.

"How do you feel? Coach? Do you feel the charm of yoga?"

"Well... to be honest, I don't have any other feelings, I just feel that my arms will be so sore when I get up tomorrow morning."

"Hahahaha, An Jiali is right, you are a difficult guy. But it doesn't matter, I believe you will fall in love with yoga as long as you try a few more times. Then coach Henson, we will see you the day after tomorrow."

After sending away the yoga teacher, Henson sat on the sofa tiredly. The private doctor, Mr. Johnny Mars, took Henson's blood pressure and heart rate, and everything was normal.

"You're in a good mood, Henson." Seeing that Henson's physical data was normal, Mars smiled with relief.

"Is there anything worth angering me to share with me?"

"What? You still don't know that?"

"what's up?"

"Forget it, I don't know the best, after all, being angry is not good for you."

"Come on, Mars, I might say it from you, I really won't be angry. What's the matter?"

"It's Mark Jackson and his Golden State Warriors. You'd better read the news for yourself." After that, Dr. Mars put away the equipment and prepared to make a nutritious meal for Henson.

Henson took out his cell phone curiously, and because he was doing yoga all afternoon, Henson couldn't keep up with the news. However, as soon as he opened the mobile browser, Henson was slaughtered by Mark Jackson.

"You said about Mark Jackson?" Henson asked loudly, lest the doctor in the kitchen would not hear him.

"That's right!" The doctor responded with the same throat, after all, Henson's cottage said it was not big, but it was not too small.

"I have to say that the Warriors are very talented and their staffing is very reasonable. If I coach this team, I think I can at least make the Western Conference Finals. Even, you can think about the championship. But Mark Jackson...Forget it, ten consecutive victories is his upper limit." Henson joked with a smile.

"Are you really angry?"

"Are you so eager to see me angry?"

"Of course not, I'm just curious, when did you become so innocent?" Doctor Mars smiled.

"I don't know, maybe it's because yoga really played some role." Henson spread his hands and tilted his head.
