The Basketball Court Swordsman

On Women's Day in 2014, something happened that caught the attention of most men.

Of course, this matter has nothing to do with women themselves. It was Rockets center Dwight Howard, who wrote a very long letter of apology for his remarks two days ago.

The accusation of racial discrimination is undoubtedly very serious and serious in the United States, and Howard's inaccurate apology will undoubtedly be unable to pass Henson's level. Yao Ming used to have a good temper, and he was too lazy to be familiar with people who humiliated him. After O'Neill made an insult to the Chinese, Yao Ming even kindly wrote a letter, so O'Neill's father asked him to apologize to Yao Ming.

It can be said that Yao Ming convinces people with his strength and his broad mind.

Henson is different. He admits that he is very stingy in certain things. He doesn't have the mindset of Yao Ming. Henson not only has to beat his opponent on the court, but also holds the opponent responsible for his comments off the court.

And there is no doubt that Howard became the first person to be "stabbed".

Whether the letter of apology was written by Howard himself or by someone else, at least now he does have a sincere apology. In competitive sports where the strong have the final say, Henson, who won the game, undoubtedly has a stronger deterrent.

Before the game, Howard still had a disapproving attitude to deal with this Chinese coach, but now, he obviously will not treat Henson in the same way. Defeating the Miami Heat is not the capital he can show off in front of Henson.

After the Howard incident, the entire league has fallen into a new round of panic.

The Pacers' 10-game winning streak after defeating the Rockets at the Toyota Center has allowed them to achieve a record of 52 wins and 9 losses. He is only 18 games away from Henson's 70-win goal. Playing in this state of the Pacers, to win 18 wins in the last month or so does not seem to be a problem.

The most terrifying thing in this world is that things you do not want to admit or do not want to see become reality.

For the other 29 teams in the league, the last thing they want to see is that the Pacers dominate the league. In NBA history, there has never been any team that has won 70 wins for two consecutive seasons. Even the Bulls led by "God" only won 69 in the season after 72 wins.

However, now, when the Pacers have a chance to win 70 wins for two consecutive seasons, and when Henson is likely to achieve something that even Jordan and Phil Jackson could not achieve, naturally many people are unwilling to admit it.

But there is no way to deny it, because the pace of expansion of the Pacers will not stop so easily.

After defeating the Rockets, the Pacers defeated the Mavericks, Celtics, 76ers and Detroit Pistons. These four games have a similarity, that is, the Pacers won by double-digit points.

Detroit Pistons coach Maurice Cheeks confessed directly after the game: "Coach Henson's team is too strong. I think there may only be no more than two teams in the league that can compete with them. And these two **** The team is the Heat and Spurs."

At the beginning, the media said that Cheeks was just a follower. The Pacers were indeed strong, but they were not as strong as he said.

But the performance of the Pacers after that undoubtedly embarrassed the media that said Cheeks was a follower.

The 76ers, Knicks, Bulls and Grizzlies, the media originally thought that in the next four games, the Knicks, Bulls and Grizzlies might interrupt the Pacers' winning streak. Although these three teams are not the league's top teams this season, their strength is still outstanding.

However, the fact is that these three teams did bring some trouble to the Pacers, but they only caused some trouble.

With the Knicks, Anthony and Stoudemire scored 45 points together. It can be said that this game is one of the best games the two star forwards have played since they joined forces in New York.

However, except for Anthony and Stoudemire, the Knicks' offense was not so satisfactory.

J.R. 7 points, Chandler 7 points, Shumpert 3 points... The Knicks' weak integrity naturally cannot succeed in front of the defending champion. 94 to 86, Henson Hao won 15 consecutive victories! Everyone is praying, praying that Henson's team can stop the pace of raging the league.

But obviously, God is either not at home, or he just doesn't care about the **** Henson. Because of subsequent games against the Bulls and Grizzlies, the Pacers also won.

Against the Bulls who can't attack, Henson's defense made Thibodeau's team not even scored 80 points. After losing Rose again, the Bulls' offensive power began to decline dramatically. The game only scored 79 points, and their team shooting percentage was only 36%.

Against the Grizzlies, the result was similar to the Bulls. 91 to 82, the Grizzlies only scored 3 points more than the Bulls. The two teams that won by defense did not succeed in preventing the Pacers from attacking.

Defensively unable to defend, offensively unable to come out, these two closely watched teams have thus become the targets of letting Henson slaughter.

17 consecutive victories, 59 wins and 9 losses!

The atmosphere of terror is still spreading, just like the nuclear panic during the Cold War, covering the entire United States!

Just one day after the Pacers defeated the Grizzlies, eSPN convened several well-known experts to analyze the probability of the Pacers winning 70. The experts did not give a specific probability, but just said: "Whether the Pacers can win 70 wins depends on whether they can defeat the Heat and Spurs in the last two games in March!"

In an instant, the important task of preventing the "cold war from breaking out" fell on the Spurs and the Heat, the two so-called "the only teams that can stop the Pacers."

This analysis by experts is not unreasonable. In March, the Pacers have five games left to play. The first three games were against the Wizards who ranked among the top eight mid-lowers in the Eastern Conference this season, the Bulls who just lost to the Pacers, and the Cavaliers who picked a parallel champion and rushed for the champion.

Until now, if you thought that the Wizards, Bulls, and Cavaliers could deal with the Pacers, you would be naive. Henson has won 17 consecutive victories after his return, and the Pacers are still unbeaten! They are only 7 games away from their 25-game winning streak. Therefore, no media will underestimate the walkers.

In the last two games of March, the Pacers happened to be playing against the Heat and the Spurs! It is precisely because of this that experts will turn the question of whether Henson can win 70 wins into whether Henson can defeat the double containment of the Heat and Spurs.

And these two games were rendered into a preview of the Eastern Conference Finals and Finals.

If the Heat and Spurs make the Pacers lose two straight, then Henson's chance of winning 70 will be very slim. But if the Pacers are strong enough to beat the Heat and Spurs in a row, then in the words of eSPN experts: "The entire league will have to accept the fact that the Pacers have won 70 wins for two consecutive seasons!"

At this time, the "big demon" Henson Joe, who caused the entire United States to panic, was sitting in Larry Bird's office, chatting leisurely.

"Henson, to be honest, even I thought you were just talking casually at first." Opposite Henson, Bird was talking and laughing. Seeing the media portray Henson as a terrifying "demon", Bird is not to mention how happy he is.

His team just wants others to be discouraged!

"You know me, I never talk about it casually. Nothing, no, I can't smoke this stuff for now." Henson smiled, then waved his hand to reject the cigar handed by Bird.

"The regular season is almost over, Henson. Think about it, when do you want to announce that?" Byrd's smile faded away, because he didn't laugh much when he thought that Henson would retire next season. come out.

"When we win the championship, I will announce this again. At that time, the joy of the fans and players will make this matter pass quickly. I don't want to make the city full of wind and rain, Bird. If that's the case. , People thought Henson Joe was dead."

"After you win the championship? You bastard, even Phil Jackson can't say that he can definitely build a dynasty and win three consecutive championships."

"Phil Jackson is the old calendar, Bird. Now, Henson Joe has the final say."

The two were silent for a few minutes. In fact, both sides are very clear that their conversation is not limited to slaves. These two people have always been in direct communication, but today they have gone around the corners.

"You really... don't do it anymore? You are only 35 years old, Henson. Not to mention the coach, many players will not retire at 35 years old." Byrd lit his cigar, his eyes slightly Squinted. He knows that maybe he will never reach Auerbach's height in his life, and he will not be a basketball godfather.

But the man in front of him named Henson Joe has this potential, has this potential. It's a pity that his potential has not been fully realized, it is about to end.

"Who knows? If next time I am willing to take the cigar you ordered for me, maybe I will come back." Henson didn't laugh because he couldn't laugh.

"The head coach is really under great pressure, but the management welcomes you whenever you want."

"No, this time I retire, I plan to say goodbye to basketball completely. In basketball, I am a little tired. Thank you for your kindness, Bird. But at least in the past few years, I will not engage in any basketball-related work. Maybe in the future, you will see me on the commentary."

"anyway......"

"Anyway, I'll say that again, wait for our three consecutive championships. This time, the media are right. They are right to panic, because they will witness with their own eyes that we do what no one has done before. Things." Henson looked forward to the beautiful view of Indianapolis outside the French windows.

My last season can't end in a dull way. Even if Henson Joe leaves, he will try to blow up the whole league!

As for the Spurs and Heat at the end of March? Well, it was just two defeats.
