Chapter 730 728: The time has come

The Pacers have a few players who are past their prime, and their prime is worth savoring for any Indianapolis fan.

Danny Green, there was a time when Paul George had to be Danny Green's backup.

As an unknown second-round pick, Danny Green can have such a great reputation, all thanks to Henson's promotion.

In the first year after Henson became the head coach of the Pacers, he mentioned Danny Green from the Development League to the NBA.Moreover, Green's good defense and three-point accuracy have been greatly utilized.

At his peak, he was a surprise player for the Pacers.In the previous series against the Heat, Danny Green even almost broke the record for three-pointers.

If he returns to his peak, Henson believes that the Warriors will have a very headache.

Brook Lopez, once the head center of the Nets, now only gets an annual salary of 338 million US dollars.

What Lopez looks like back to the top, I believe everyone has seen it when he played the Raptors in the last round. With 29 points, 11 rebounds and 4 blocks plus 3 key offensive rebounds, Lopez dominated the entire fourth quarter and killed the game.

If Lopez returns to the top, the Warriors' poor inside line is estimated to be pierced.

Rajon Rondo was not easy at his peak. He could break through quickly and find open teammates in the crowd.There is no doubt that at his peak he was one of the top three point guards in the league.

Of course, how could you forget Lance Stephenson?Strictly speaking, Stephenson is also a player who has had his prime.At that time, he relied on "Zhan boasting Dafa" to put great players like James in trouble.In addition to these suffocating operations, Stephenson's hard power at the time was also very strong.

Breakthrough scoring, three-point long-range shots, bold passes. At that time, it was common for him to score 20 points and freeze opponents in the playoffs.People must miss the scene when he once stepped on the "drunk eight immortals" to complete the European step layup.

The Pacers have a lot of post-prime players who may not be as good as they used to be, but they can still play their role.That's why, at the beginning, Henson struggled with who to use that trick on.

Because the above players bring any one of them back to the top, it will be of great help to the Pacers.

But after Ross came to look for him yesterday, Henson made up his mind.

Maybe they were both good, but definitely not as good as Rose.It only takes a little bit to make Henson's point of view stand firm-Derrick Rose at his peak is the youngest MVP in NBA history!

Lopez, Stephenson, Green, Rondo and others are still far from the MVP.Therefore, it is no longer a multiple-choice question for who to return to the top.

Henson originally wanted to save this speech technique to save lives in a critical moment, after all, the effect of this speech technique can only last for one session.But unexpectedly, the critical moment came so soon.

Before the start of the fourth quarter, it was discovered that Henson Henson actually called Rose to him.This scene made all the explanations incomprehensible.

"Oladipo, Rondo and Brogdon did not defend Curry very well today, but Derrick Rose, with all due respect, I don't think Rose can do what the other three cannot do."

Kevin Harlan shook his head, Henson treated a dead horse as a living horse doctor.

It's not that Harlan questioned Henson, but that Rose has indeed not shown any performance since entering the playoffs.Especially since the Eastern Conference finals, Rose has almost disappeared.He only played a few minutes a game, and sometimes didn't even play at all.Today's Rose may not be able to adapt to the Eastern Conference Finals and Finals-level games, so it is not unreasonable for Henson to hide him.

Therefore, seeing that Henson is actually planning to bet on a player who hasn't played well for a long time, Kevin Harlan naturally has reasons to doubt.

At this time, Henson, who was arranging tactics on the sidelines, didn't care about other people's strange eyes. Everyone, even Derrick Rose, didn't know what he would be able to perform in the future, but Henson did.

Therefore, he is not afraid to question.Wild beasts usually travel alone, and only cattle and sheep come in groups.Henson doesn't care about the eyes of everyone, he is used to being a maverick!
A Rose near his prime?Just thinking about it made Henson feel terrible.He didn't forget that Rose killed him in the first year he coached the team to play in the playoffs.

His breakthrough, his finishing at the basket, and his toughness all made Henson helpless.Now, it's time for Cole to have a taste of helplessness too.

"I need you to make more breakthroughs and put pressure on Curry. Don't worry about breaking through boldly, I don't want you to be stage fright!" After drawing the tactics, Henson pinched Rose's shoulder and explained a few more words.

Rose can get a precious chance to play, and he has cherished it very much.What's more, Henson still let him play at the critical moment.So, even if Henson doesn't say it, Rose will go ahead.

"I'll do my best, everything, boss." Rose nodded slightly.

In June 2019, Derrick Rose officially wore the Pacers jersey in the finals to fight for Henson!

※※※

After the timeout ended, the Warriors did not change the lineup, and it was still a combination of Curry, Thompson, Durant, and Iguodala Green.

As soon as the Pacers players came out, there was a commotion.

Steve Kerr took a closer look, and as expected, Henson changed his formation.

He replaced Lopez with Siakam. This move is undoubtedly to push you into the fifth position. Siakam, who scored 32 points in the last game and has maintained his excellent state until today, will definitely bring stronger offensive firepower to the Pacers.

But Cole couldn't understand the other substitution.Henson actually replaced Brogdon with Derrick Rose. The Warriors coach really couldn't understand the point of doing so.

Today, Henson Paylondo, Oladipo and Brogdon all took turns to defend Curry, but the results were not satisfactory.

That guy wouldn't naively think that Rose, who had almost disappeared recently, could show a more amazing performance than those three?

"Damn guy, what do you think of Stephen? Do you want to contain Stephen just by playing a player?"

Cole was a little angry. In his opinion, this substitution was almost an insult to him.But after thinking about it, Cole felt complacent again.

Henson chose to use Ross, doesn't it just mean that no one is available for that guy?

When all three of his main guards were defeated by Curry, Henson had no choice but to gamble. This is proof that the Warriors have achieved a huge advantage!
"Coach Henson actually replaced Derrick Rose, which is unexpected. We don't know what coach Henson's intentions are, but it is undoubtedly a very risky behavior to replace Rose with 16 points behind in the last quarter of the game. Whether he will suffer the consequences, we will wait and see!"

After the commentator finished speaking, Rose also took the baseline ball from Siakam and began to advance slowly.

The first pick in the first round of the 2008 NBA Draft, when Derrick Rose put on a Bulls baseball cap and was the first to go up to shake hands with David Stern, he never imagined that he would experience so many things in his career.

This former "Jordan successor" never imagined that he would step into the finals at the age of 31.But anyway, he did it.Moreover, he not only wants to play in the finals, but also wants to leave his name in the finals.

The time has come, time to act!Henson pulled the trigger, unleashing the most explosive bullet.
