Chapter 529 Chapter 527: Reward Three Points of Rain
32 to 25, this is the score of the two sides at the end of the first quarter.The visiting team is at the front and the home team is at the back.

In just 12 minutes, Henson dealt a blow to the frenzied atmosphere in the Wells Fargo Center Arena. The 76ers fans couldn't cheer at first, and the home jerseys were frowning.

Among them, the one with the deepest frown is undoubtedly Embiid.

With 2 points and 2 rebounds in a single quarter, his performance was not enough to satisfy the fans, even himself.Coupled with his attitude towards Henson before the game, it will make Embiid extremely embarrassed now.

If Embiid loses this game, he will definitely become the laughing stock of all media and fans.Embiid doesn't want this to happen, he longs for revenge!
The game has only passed one quarter, and the outcome is still uncertain!
"Joel, I will send you on the court at the beginning of the second quarter. Remember, you must be calm! Only the calmest person can win the final victory. Don't panic when encountering double-teams, and handle the ball calmly. We can always find a gap."

Looking at the nervous Brett Brown, Embiid nodded slightly.Although he is a "big mouth", although he has an unruly personality.But in the team, Embiid has never been a thorn.He always loves to listen to Brett Brown's words, because he knows very well that the head coach will not harm himself.

After finishing speaking to Embiid here, Brett Brown walked over to the Canadian white shooter Nick Stauskas.

In the game four days ago, it was Stauskas' last shot at a critical moment that completely ended the Pacers.His performance in that game undoubtedly won him the trust of Brett Brown.So now, when the 76ers' offense is not very open, Brown decided to let Stauskas start in the second quarter to improve the 76ers' lack of outside firepower.

"Your task is to look for opportunities to shoot three-pointers by running without the ball. If you get a chance, even if it's just a fleeting one, don't hesitate. Because once you hesitate, the Pacers will not give you a second chance, remember!?"

Stauskas nodded. Due to the key goal four days ago, Stauskas was full of confidence when facing the Pacers.

Brett Brown's side wanted to close the gap, but Henson did just the opposite.He doesn't want to give the 76ers any face, and he doesn't want to play with this team slowly.He wants to use the most shameful way to make the 76ers lose, so Henson's goal in the second quarter is to completely open the score!

"Everyone prepare for me, because all of you may play in the second quarter! After playing, I hope you can play a role quickly! Remember, I plan to use the defense of three-point shooting in the second quarter to open the score. Our goal is the championship, and the championship will not be entangled with a team like the 76ers! Take the game cleanly for me, and don't let them look down!"

After Henson finished speaking, he glanced at the group of shooters in front of him.

The last time the Pacers lost to the 76ers because of a three-pointer?Well, today I will give it back in full!
After the start of the second quarter, the first attacking team became the Pacers.On the first goal of the game, Antetokounmpo scored a three-pointer, which undoubtedly made everyone present wide-eyed.

"Antetokounmpo actually hit a three-pointer. You must know that three-point shooting has never been his strong point."

"Even if three-point shooting is not his strong point, Saric puts Antetokounmpo too far. Antetokounmpo is not completely without the ability to shoot three-pointers. Saric is a bit too taken for granted." Mike Brin shook his head, but after thinking about it, Saric was really helpless.

He was sieved by Antetokounmpo in the first quarter of the game. Naturally, he hoped to guard against the breakthrough of the Greek in the second quarter.As everyone knows, Antetokounmpo gave Saric a blow as soon as he came up.Henson shook his head and calculated the psychological shadow area of ​​the Croatians.

The 10-point difference officially fell on Brett Brown. As a head coach who had experienced Henson's heyday, Brown knew that 10 points was a big hurdle against the Pacers.If you can get through it, you still have to fight.If the momentum cannot be reversed, the game may end early.

Fortunately, this time Embiid hit Lopez with a mid-range shot.Embiid's goal made Brett Brown breathe a sigh of relief.

Yeah, as long as Embiid doesn't fall into the low post, he won't get double-teamed.With this in mind, Embiid will definitely be reborn in the second quarter.

But unfortunately, Danny Green's three-pointer broke Brett Brown's fantasy. It is true that the 76ers can score, but first they have to contain the Pacers' scoring momentum in order to tie the score.

Green's three-pointer widened the point difference to double digits again.Contained by the opponent's three-pointer, Brett Brown felt as if he had returned to four days ago.It's just that now it's him who is troubled by the three-pointer.
"Continue to double-team, double-team!" After Green scored, Henson seemed not satisfied, so he stood on the sidelines and yelled.

He said that in the second quarter, the score should be completely opened.And only an 11-point advantage is obviously not enough to satisfy Henson.

So later, Embiid, who was holding the ball outside the three-point line, found that he was still double-teamed by Antetokounmpo and Lopez!It seems that Henson is not going to give him any chance to score.

Embiid calmed down this time, and didn't do such a stupid thing as breaking through the frame with two people.He firmly passed the ball to Saric, who finally got an open shot and made a three-pointer.

It's a pity that the high-intensity defense in the first quarter has made Saric lose his touch.His open three-pointer still failed to hit, which undoubtedly greatly affected the morale of the 76ers.

In this way, the two sides fought back and forth for a few minutes.Halfway through the second quarter, the 76ers were still 12 points behind.

Embiid's inability to score efficiently and the Pacers' three-pointers hitting the net again and again are the main reasons why they have been unable to close the score.

Brett Brown wanted to use Stauskas' range to help the team, but it turns out that today's 76ers players have a very bad three-pointer.Because of the need to double-team Embiid, the 76ers actually got a lot of open shots.

But they just couldn't make the shot, and Henson couldn't help it.And the more the others can't make the shot, the more determined the Pacers are to double-team Embiid.

After half a quarter of the game, Embiid went off again.Without the threat of Embiid's "nuclear weapon", Henson's substitutions have also become bolder.

He replaced Paul with Brogdon, George with Oladipo, Green with Bogdanovic, and Antetokounmpo with Channing Frye, leaving only one Brook Lopez in the starting five.

Seeing this lineup play, Brett Brown's heart sank.This lineup can shoot three-pointers in five positions!Henson Joe is going to kill him!

In the second half of the game, Henson let the 76ers fans experience what is called the real "three-point rain".

After returning from the timeout, Bogdanovic, who had performed well in the Nets, took the lead in hitting a three-pointer.Stauskas, who was defending him, could not interfere at all, because the height gap between the two sides was too huge.

Subsequently, Brogdon received a breakthrough from Oladipo and steadily hit an open three-pointer.

As Henson said, the seemingly simple tactic of breaking through and scoring requires the ball holder to have a huge threat of scoring with the ball.And Oladipo undoubtedly meets this condition.

Brogdon's shot is as consistent as ever, and he's a plug-and-play type of player.As a senior player, his mental quality is also excellent.

These two three-pointers made the difference between the two sides instantly become 18 points!Embiid clenched his fists off the court, but couldn't do anything.

For a moment, Embiid suddenly realized that he seemed to have really messed with the wrong person.

He can satirize Jaylen Rose, after all, Jaylen Rose can't make any counterattacks against Embiid.But Henson Joe is different, he is hundreds of times more dangerous than Jaylen Rose!
While thinking, the Pacers scored another three-pointer.This time, it was Channing Frye who scored the goal.

Although the veteran's athletic ability is not much left, his shooting touch still exists.

As a space-type four, Frye's weapon for survival in the league is the three-pointer.It was his mission to get a chance and hit a long shot.

Embiid looked at the big screen at the scene, and then at the unrequited coach Brown.

The point difference became 21 points, and the Fuguo Center Arena was about to be flooded by the Pacers' three-point rain.

Henson Joe's revenge always comes so violently.
