Chapter 453 Chapter 451: Extremely Crazy Style of Play
"Do you just want to try it purely, or do you want to become a regular tactic for the team!?"

When Vogel heard Henson's crazy idea, the guy who went from premed to video editor to assistant coach was taken aback.Because Henson's idea sounds crazier than his experience!

Becky Harmon and Fraser didn't comment directly, just opened their mouths.Because they feel that they can no longer keep up with Henson's thinking, and they have no perspective at all to evaluate.

"I want to experiment, and of course I hope this can become part of the regular tactics. You know, in the playoffs, the more tricks we are proficient in, the better. Let's try it, starting from the next game. I studied the Celtics lineup, and the next game is simply a hotbed for us to practice this idea." Henson spread his hands irresponsibly.

"I won't disagree with you, Henson. But it's really not realistic to turn this idea into a regular part of tactics. First, we don't have enough time to practice. Second."

"Second what? Frank?"

"Secondly, you have to be prepared to accept failure and criticism." Vogel said, pointing to Henson's chest.

Henson certainly has the ability to accept failure and criticism, but his heart doesn't necessarily have it.

"It doesn't matter, it's just like the death defense. This is just a transitional lineup. We won't keep this lineup on the field for a long time. So if the effect is not good, we can correct it immediately. But if it works. Guys, we have another killer weapon. Let's arrange this afternoon's training and let the players practice this style of play. To tell you the truth, I have been excited for several days."

Vogel shook his head, "Then let's give it a go."

Vogel knew that Henson's plan sounded very unreliable.But the most terrifying thing about Henson is that he can turn unreliable things into reliable ones.Many of his substitutions and strategies were considered unreliable before they succeeded.Therefore, Vogel and the coach have no reason to refute Henson.

During the media opening period of training this afternoon, Big Mouth Stephenson told reporters nervously, "We are practicing an extremely crazy style of play! I believe that the whole league will think we are crazy!"

After hearing the news, the reporters also surrounded Henson one after another. Henson was not angry at Stephenson's "leaking".

Anyway, tomorrow, the whole world will see what he will do.

"It's useless for you to ask me now, and I won't say anything. When the game starts tomorrow, you will naturally see what changes the team has made. Now, go home, sir. Because all your questions will be answered in the game."

Seeing Henson's understatement, the reporters all swallowed their saliva.It seems that the success rate of the Celtics blocking the Pacers is decreasing a little bit.

"God knows if Coach Henson and Stephenson colluded to confuse the public. Are these two guys telling too many lies?"

"Maybe there's no such thing as a 'crazy play' at all, and it's just Henson and Stephenson's way of disrupting the Celtics' preparations."

In order to prove that Henson was just talking nonsense, some reporters even dug out the stalks of the finals of the previous year, "Let me tell you a joke: Chris Paul will miss three games."

On March 3, the day the game between the Pacers and the Celtics started, the media were overwhelmingly reporting the news of the game between the two teams.And the most popular topic among them is the "extremely crazy style of play" that Stephenson said.

Of course, most reporters thought that the ruffian mentor and apprentice pair Henson and Stephenson were simply confusing the public.Henson has never used this kind of bad move.

In the afternoon, at the North Shore Garden, Celtics coach and former Indiana Pacers assistant coach Stevens accepted an interview.The problem, of course, is also related to this matter.

"I don't care. I just want the team to run according to my plan. As for what strategies Coach Henson has, I don't care. To be honest, I care more about his heart than Coach Henson's strategies."

Stevens' answer was understated and seemingly relaxed.It's not that Stevens is not afraid of Henson. He worked with Henson for a year last season, and he has fully seen Henson's creativity and subversion.Therefore, Henson is indeed capable of formulating an "extremely crazy style of play".

But so what?It was impossible for Stevens to predict what this "extremely crazy play" would be.Therefore, he didn't bother to worry about it at all.If something unexpected happens, it must be resolved by on-the-spot command.Even if Stevens broke his heart now, it would be useless.

That being the case, why bother?

Two hours before the start of the game, Stevens finally saw Henson and his familiar Pacers in the North Shore Garden Arena.Although this game was hyped by the outside world, the Celtics have also become a new generation of "Henson Terminator".

But when the two coaches met, the atmosphere was very friendly.The two embraced warmly, chatting and laughing.Stevens mainly asked about Henson's health, and Henson asked more about Stevens' work.

"The uniform composition of the Celtics is much more complicated than that of the Pacers. I'm exaggerating. The workplace struggle here is much more serious than Indianapolis! And Danny Ainge is a cunning old fox with no human touch. You must be more careful. Being the head coach of the Celtics is not an easy job."

"Don't worry Henson, at least I'm doing well now. By the way, what did you arrange for what Lance told the media yesterday? You don't need to be so ruthless against me." Before parting, Stevens still couldn't help asking Henson a question related to the game.

"You didn't expect me to tell you the arrangement of this game in advance, did you?" Henson smiled mysteriously. "The only thing I can tell you is that I didn't lie this time. You'd better be fully prepared for any unexpected situation, Brad."

Patting Stevens on the shoulder, the two parted just now.

When Henson crossed the midfield line, he and Stevens were no longer good friends, but fierce rivals!

Henson is well aware of how capable Stevens is, and it is very necessary to use some special means to deal with this guy.

"No matter what Coach Henson is planning, he is digging his own grave! Stevens has only been with the Celtics for one season, and he has already established a relatively complete system. This is why we have always been able to beat strong teams by surprise this season. If Coach Henson thinks arrogantly that he can use the North Shore Garden as a laboratory for experimental tactics, then he will not be able to bear it."

Before the start of the game, Sean Grande, the Celtics' queen commentator, expressed his views with a smile.The reason why he said this with a smile was to emphasize his contemptuous attitude towards the matter.

"The offensive performance of the Celtics this season is very stable. The team system brought by Coach Stevens has enabled many players of the Celtics to perform well. Among other things, even Jeff Green has been reborn under Coach Stevens. This season, Jeff Green's contribution of 16.9 points per game is a new career high. There is no doubt that it is the system of Coach Stevens that has given Green a lot of opportunities."

"And if Coach Henson's special tactics are true, they have only prepared for one day. In front of Coach Stevens who has built a very stable system, Coach Henson's tricks are digging his own grave."

Sean Grande's statement has been recognized by many fans and the media. They believe that even the Pacers should focus on stability when playing against the Celtics.However, Henson was thinking about the Celtics experimenting with new tactics?

They believed that the coach who underestimated the Celtics would fail because of his arrogance.

But in fact, Henson never underestimated the Celtics from the beginning to the end.He wants to make some changes precisely because he values ​​Stevens' team so much.

At eight o'clock in the evening, the game officially started.When the starting players from both sides stepped onto the court, it was discovered that the Pacers' lineup hadn't changed at all.

CP3, George, Jimmy Butler, David West and Al Horford, Henson has been using this starter since his return.And Stephenson, who was so excited to "leak the secret" to the media, is still sitting on the bench today and did not get the chance to start.

"Is Coach Henson really just trying to confuse the public?" Sean Grande smiled. "If Coach Henson confuses the public before the game, it can only mean one thing. He is afraid of the Celtics!"

Queen commentators for a single team like Grande are generally very subjective.But because of this, commentators like him are usually only famous locally.

Stevens did not let down his vigilance because Henson sent a regular starter. After all, there is no rule that the game changes must start from the starter.

The starting lineup for the Celtics was the same as before, with Rajon Rondo at the No. [-] position and Jerry Bayless at shooting guard in place of the injured Bradley.On the front line, Jeff Green and Brandon Bass, who were reborn from the ashes, partnered.And Chris Humphries, the white insider who became popular all over the United States because of his love affair with Kardashian, took the fifth position.

Henson squinted his eyes and looked at Bass and Humphries. These two insiders of the Celtics can be said to be very small.Brandon Bass is only 2 meters tall, not as good as George.Humphries has always played power forward before, and his height is only 03 meters 2.

You know, Al Horford has always been considered a short center.But his height is at least 2 meters.Humphries is fine, two centimeters shorter than Horford.

These two guys are the capital for Henson to dare to propose a bold idea!

When Sean Grande in the commentary was still bragging that "Stevens made Henson feel nervous and scared", Henson's crazy strategy was already undercurrent.
