The Basketball Court Swordsman

Chapter 459: : Who is afraid of whom

Paul, Danny Green, Jimmy Butler, George, Antetokounmpo, for the second time this season, Henson brought the five-small team to the court.

When Henson saw Mark Jackson put on a big and four small lineups, he was indeed very surprised. I have to say that Mark Jackson's courage exceeded Henson's expectations.

But the basketball game is not just a game for the brave. If you can win the basketball game with the courage alone, then the sport is not called basketball.

Henson was surprised that Mark Jackson dared to be a junior and senior, but it didn't mean that he couldn't do anything with the Warriors' junior and senior.

In just five minutes, Henson has proved that defense is not the best way to contain the big and four small. Therefore, after the suspension, Henson also decided to use more powerful firepower to contain the opponent.

Although the small lineups of both sides are not yet complete, Henson still thinks it is worth a try. After all, this lineup once left Stevens at a loss.

"Coach Henson is more courageous than Mark Jackson! Coach Mark Jackson likes seniors and juniors, but in any case he will leave a traditional inside on the court. But Coach Henson Joe, he directly played five outside players !"

"I think Henson may not be afraid of anyone except himself."

Henson changed into the fifth elementary school, undoubtedly he wanted to play faster and more rounds than the Warriors! On the defensive end, Henson believes Antetokounmpo will not let David Lee take advantage.

Antetokounmpo is now a little stronger than when he first joined the league. During the three months of Henson’s and leaving, the Greeks did not let go or lower their requirements.

Although Antetokounmpo is still thin, his strength is much better than before. It's like Durant, who looks thin, but won't let anyone taste the sweetness of him.

As for Green, he is the real threat to the Pacers inside. Green's power is very terrifying, which is why he can play inside at a height of 2 meters. If he breaks through the inside line, he is bound to cause huge damage to the defense line.

But both George and Antetokounmpo have huge advantages in height, so Henson believes that Green's breakthrough will not kill the Pacers.

With such thinking, a pure five small team was pushed onto the court. Mark Jackson is both angry and scared. This lineup is like Henson's insult to him-I **** look down on your inside offense.

But it seems very dangerous, because the Pacers have won with this lineup before.

However, in the first offense after the opening, Antetokounmpo's layup missed, which undoubtedly gave Mark Jackson a big breath.

"David Lee's defense is very good. He deliberately released Antetokounmpo a few steps to prevent him from attacking the basket. Antetokounmpo is still too immature in front of the former All-Star forward."

"Hey, look for death!" Mark Jackson was proud again. Henson's ability to defeat the rebuilding Celtics with a small lineup does not mean that he can also defeat the ten-game winning warrior!

Just when people were worried about whether Henson's substitution was a bit too arrogant, on the defensive end, this five-small team showed their power.

This time, Draymond Green still gave Thompson a cover. But Jimmy Butler, who defended Thompson, did not squeeze hard, but simply completed a defense with Paul George!

Henson's defense resilience for this five-small team is much stronger than people think. The five small lineups are not just for offense.

Seeing this situation, Klay Thompson did not make a strong shot, but passed the ball to Green who followed.

Green is indeed strong, even the "bulldog" Butler, who has always been known for his toughness, failed to stop him. But there is no doubt that Jimmy Butler's defense still greatly slowed down Drummond Green's speed to the basket.

Therefore, at the moment Green leaned on Jimmy Butler to force the frame. Antetokounmpo came from behind and the monster arrived!

This season, Antetokounmpo can come up with the data of one block per game when he is not playing time per game, which is undoubtedly gratifying.

Although Antetokounmpo is not a behemoth of frame protection like Yao Ming and O'Neal, his excellent athletic ability and terrifying figure are enough to make him stage the oriole back again and again.

"A beautiful chase, the Warriors have no problem with their tactics. The problem is that the Pacers players are all crouching!"

The basketball was shot hard by Antetokounmpo and hit the backboard, then rebounded sharply. CP3 leaned on the thin Curry and took the basketball on top of Curry's head.

In the air, before landing, Paul hit the ball and launched a fast break!

I saw CP3 pass directly in the air, and George jumped out at a very fast speed. The excellent tacit understanding between the two Pauls allowed the conversion of offense and defense to be formed within a second!

Klay Thompson is still lacking in speed. Although Iguodala tried his best to pursue the defense, the initial distance between the two was too different. Drummond Green? When Paul had already played for George, Green had just landed and was still complaining to the referee!

No one stopped, George faced the empty basket and staged a 360° turn with one-handed dunk!

After returning, the Pacers regained the momentum of the Warriors without playing two rounds. Henson's five small lineups are more athletic and more resilient. Of course, the three-point range is not bad at all. However, it has not yet been revealed.

After that, the Warriors' several offenses were all stopped by the infinite change of defense of the five dead. Curry and Thompson both made two "fairy balls" against each other, but this kind of unstable goal didn't help the Warriors.

What the Warriors need now is steady scoring, not magical goals.

On the other hand, the Pacers, in the state of Paul's organization and full rush, the Warriors' defense always cares for one another.

Or, it was David Lee's speed that couldn't keep up with the Pacers' breakthrough. Either Green rushed back to the inside to help defend, and was tricked by the Pacers.

The last 7 minutes of the third quarter was the Pacers’ performance moment. Fast breaks, slam dunks and defensive successes have all made fans hooked!

Of course, Mark Jackson is undoubtedly one of the most uncomfortable in the life of a banker. When all his killers started to lose their effect, the game left him with despair.

The 11-game winning streak in team history is going away from him. In recent years, many great records have been born in the Banker’s Life Arena. But these records have one thing in common, that is, they belong only to the home team!

The Pacers’ fifth junior is still raging on the court, and at this time, even Lang Scott can’t give Mark Jackson any more advice. Because Henson's super small lineup is something they have never encountered before.

"Paul George received a point from Antetokounmpo and he made a decisive three-pointer! Curry is too short to form an effective interference. Bang! The rim is white, and George scores again!"

"We saw Klay Thompson running very aggressively, and the Warriors' off-ball screens were also very good. Although the elevator door tactics were banned by the league, coach Mark Jackson still set up a lot of off-ball offensive routines for the players. , The Pacers changed their defenses in time. There was not much time left, and Clay had to stare at George after catching the ball! Oh, no! This time, God did not favor the Oaklanders."

"David Li Qiang hit Antetokounmpo, he turned around to hook! But at the height of Antetokounmpo, David Lee's shot seemed a little reluctant. Still didn't make it! This is too unacceptable, as The only inside player on the court, Coach Mark Jackson originally hoped that David Lee could rule the penalty area. But obviously, David Lee has become a burden on both offense and defense!"

Seeing that the score was expanded step by step, Mark Jackson faced a choice. Is it to continue to consume so much, watching the 11-game winning streak get further and further away from yourself? Just like Henson, the last super small lineup?

Let Green play center, Iguodala play power forward, and then let Harrison Barnes play!

Once again, Mark Jackson began a fierce psychological struggle. The cheers on the court also made his psychological struggle intensified.

Is it to completely break the routine, or to wait for a turning point? In the end, Mike Jackson chose the latter. Draymond Green will be just over 2 meters tall, so he can't worry about pushing it to the fifth position.

However, by the end of the third quarter, the Warriors were already 10 points behind. They want to play a wave of offense that is enough to shake the Pacers' advantage like the third quarter. It is almost impossible.

Mark Jackson looked at Lang Scott, but his assistant shrugged helplessly.

No move. As a head coach, the most feared thing in a basketball game is no move.

Wait, afraid? ......

Mark Jackson shook his head and looked at Henson. He is still the same, calm and contented.

Before the game, he thought Henson Joe would be afraid of himself.

However, until now in this game, Mark Jackson really knows what it's like to be afraid...
