Chapter 732 730: Why is it always him

Derrick Rose's two offenses have shaken the Warriors' morale, and similarly, they have also made the morale of the Pacers players extremely high.

Trailing by only 12 points with almost a full quarter to go, it shouldn't be difficult for the Pacers to win the game.

Kerr still didn't take a timeout, and he believed that it was impossible for Rose to perform like that every round.Dunks and levers, does that guy think he's still Rose in 2010?

However, Rose's two offenses and one defense really made Curry feel a little afraid. He knew that he could not score as easily as he did in the first three quarters.Offensively, he has become more cautious as a result.

This time, Curry had no intention of scoring on Rose.He gave the basketball to Thompson who ran out of the gap, hoping to unite everyone's strength to tide over the difficulties.

However, when Thompson received the ball, he found that it was no longer Oladipo who was defending him, but Paul George!

As we all know, Paul George is the player selected to the best defensive team this year.Moreover, his defense against Thompson is very effective.Every time Henson asked George to defend Thompson, he could achieve miraculous results.

As for Oladipo, he will defend Iguodala, whose scoring ability is not so strong.Use the strongest defensive point to match the Warriors' strongest scoring point, which is also one of Henson's strategies in the fourth quarter.

Seeing that Paul George was defending himself, Thompson hesitated.And this hesitation also made him miss this excellent opportunity to make a move.

In desperation, Thompson had to hand the ball to Durant.But how easy is Durant's offense?Now, Siakam and Antetokounmpo, two tall and long strikers are guarding him.

Many experts have analyzed that the Warriors can easily sweep the Trail Blazers, mainly because the Trail Blazers' forward line is too weak and has no defensive ability.

The Pacers are just the opposite. What Henson lacks most is an all-around striker with a tall arm and a long arm.So even if Durant's scoring ability is unsolvable, Henson has a way to contain it.

Under the joint interference of Siakam and Antetokounmpo, Durant made a layup in the confrontation.The Warriors offense failed again, and Steve Kerr was already in trouble, ready to call a timeout the next time he got the ball.

Derrick Rose pushed forward quickly after receiving the basketball. He ran through the court at a speed that didn't look like a 30-year-old player.

In order to limit Rose, the Warriors' defense also rushed to the basket.But Rose's one-point shot gave Siakam a chance to make a three-pointer.

Henson once said that Siakam's biggest problem is self-confidence.After scoring 32 points in the last game and winning the title of best in the game, Siakam's self-confidence problem has undoubtedly been resolved.

Therefore, although Iguodala caught up with the screen to interfere, Siakam's shot was still decisive.A decisive shot can often bring a coherent shooting action, and a coherent shooting action can often lead to a goal!
"Three-pointer, 9 points, the Indiana Pacers narrowed the 16-point difference to 9 points in an instant! After the start of the fourth quarter, the Pacers scored 7 points in a row. And these 7 points are all related to Derrick Rose. I don't know what magic Coach Henson has, but he can always send the most suitable players at the most suitable time."

Under the cheers of the commentators, the Pacers fans stood up and shouted "MVP!"
Rose looked around, at the fans who were cheering for him, and clenched his fists more tightly.

He has received the highest praise from the fans, so he also has the responsibility to bring victory to everyone!

Seeing that Henson narrowed the point difference to single digits, Steve Kerr angrily called to stop the game.He has played against the Pacers for three consecutive years, and he knows how dangerous it is to return home with a 0-2 deficit.

In the next two games, as long as the Warriors don't bite down in one game, they will be very dangerous.

"Clay, you go to defend Derek Rose yourself. It's just a bench bandit, and you don't want to be defeated by a veteran!"

Cole began to formulate a defense, first of all to suppress Henson's X factor.

"Draymond and Andre, cut in more and try to find opportunities to score at the basket." Afterwards, Cole organized another offense.Since Green and Iguodala are average three-pointers today, let them score at the basket.

This is Henson's last season, Kerr's last chance to beat Henson.He will not give up easily, he is determined to hold on to this last 9-point advantage!
But after the game restarted, the situation was quite different from Cole's imagination.After Thompson went to guard Rose, Victor Oladipo was finally activated.

Curry's defense doesn't work against Rose, nor does it work against Oladipo, who is also good at hitting the basket.

Oladipo was immersed in almost the entire game. Everyone thought that he could only occasionally steal a few points by cutting in today.But Henson's employment will not be so easy to guess, he knows that Cole will focus on Rose.In this way, Oladipo is completely liberated.

After returning from the timeout, the Pacers attacked for the first time, and Oladipo used a flying dunk after breaking through Curry to book a spot in today's top five.

Curry has no resistance to this kind of impact guard, thinking that it is all relying on the Warriors' excellent defensive system to cover up Curry's shortcoming.

But today, at this moment, the five players on the Pacers are all offensive strengths, so the Warriors' defense is not as decisive as usual.

And Curry's shortcomings have been infinitely magnified.

This is the playoffs, every player will be targeted, will be rubbed on the ground.The difference is that some people can survive and become famous in one fell swoop.And some people will pay the price of losing the championship for this.

Cole's timeout did not have any effect of stopping losses. Under the Pacers' devastating offensive, the point difference was getting closer and closer.

Finally, at 2 minutes and 34 seconds before the end of the game, Derrick Rose used a screen to break through Thompson and made an emergency stop jumper.

So far, Rose has scored 8 points in a single quarter, and the Pacers have officially tied the score.

With 2 minutes and 34 seconds left in the game to tie the score, the suspense of the game was ups and downs again.

"Derrick Rose, 8 points and 3 assists in a single quarter. This is his first time in the finals, but he played a real MVP-level performance. Stephen Curry dominated the game for three quarters, but lost everything in the last quarter. Derek Rose told the world that he has not been forgotten in a very retro way!"

For Rose's performance today, Mike Breen was deeply moved.The league today is very different from what it was then.

Shooting, running, fast-paced offense and defense, high number of three-pointers.It has become the norm for guards and even big players to come out and shoot with two or three screens.

This year's NBA's ratings have dropped sharply, which has something to do with the league's current game style.

And it was the Golden State Warriors who created this style of play.

But Derrick Rose suppressed the momentum of the Warriors with repeated breakthroughs and beautiful layups in the confrontation.He used an extremely retro and tough way to let the fans see the expected finals and let the fans fully appreciate the charm of competitive sports.

While Mike Breen was thinking, players from both sides reappeared.The timeout ended, and in the last 2 minutes or so, they had to decide each other's life or death.

Before the game, Henson whispered something in Rose's ear.Often when he talks to his players like this, the other party will be unlucky.

※※※

Tom Thibodeau has been idle at home for more than half a year, and he still remembers his first season as the head coach of the Bulls.That year, he led the Bulls to the Eastern Conference Finals.In his rookie season, he won the honor of the best coach of the year.

He still clearly remembers that he was elected the best coach with 475 points that year.Popovich, who ranked third, only had 177 points.

At that time, everyone thought that a generation of famous coaches was about to rise.But after that?The situation of the Bulls got worse every year, and he finally left Chicago, leaving his youngest MVP.

Later in the Timberwolves, Thibodeau did not lead Jimmy Butler, Towns and Wiggins to the expected results.In the end, the guy who was supposed to be "the next master tactician" became a bum.
Thibodeau shook his head and took a sip of the coconut juice on hand.He was lying on a beautiful beach in Hawaii, lost in thought.

Why?Why always Henson?He won the championship and the best coach.But why even Derrick Rose shines in the hands of Henson?

At the beginning, he made Rose the youngest MVP.But now, Henson has made Rose infinitely close to the championship.

Why. Why always him. He's always been able to do things he's never done before.

Thinking about it, Thibodeau fell asleep on the recliner.The screen of his mobile phone was still on, and it was displaying a piece of sports news from yesterday.

"Derrick Rose scored 13 points in the last quarter to beat Curry and helped the Pacers defeat the Warriors by 7 points. The total score of the series became 2-0. Henson Joe is getting closer and closer to the second dynasty."
