Chapter 95 094: The Unromantic Rose Garden

"It seems that our coach Henson is obsessed with female college students recently, and has no intention of commanding the game. Looking at his arrangement at the last moment of the last game, Monta Ellis had scored 34 points before that, but Henson still let Holiday go one-on-one with Ellis. Therefore, I am not surprised that the Pacers were lore."

At this time, on T.NT's Inside NBA program, Charles Barkley was laughing wildly at a photo of Henson picking up girls on the Berkeley campus.

After all, Barkley has not always recognized Henson's style of play and coaching philosophy.During the Pacers' two-game losing streak, Henson was photographed dating his girlfriend, which will naturally become a point for others to attack Henson.At this time, Barkley is precisely grasping this point.

"I'm surprised that Coach Henson is actually with a female college student. Of course, Henson's ability to fool people is enough to make him fascinate a female college student. It would be great if he could put those cleverness in the game!"

Barkley continued to complain, obviously he didn't know An Jiali's life experience yet.If Barkley knew that Henson was in a relationship with his boss's daughter, Barkley would probably be able to tell the truth with his mouth.

"Although Coach Henson's mate selection is indeed very special, I'm not very interested in Coach Henson's private life. What I want to know more now is how Coach Henson will deal with the Blazers in the next game. Under the leadership of Aldridge, the Blazers have recently come out of the haze of three consecutive losses and won a wave of four consecutive victories."

Kenny Smith does not intend to turn this basketball program into gossip. Since the Pacers and Henson are discussed, the Pacers' opponent in the next game is a topic that cannot be avoided no matter what.

"How else can I deal with it? He can't deal with it!" As soon as Kenny Smith finished speaking, Barkley took the right to speak forcefully.

"Aldridge will put Granger out of his psychological shadow! Coach Henson's abandonment of the 47th position will eventually make him pay the price. And facing the Blazers is the moment for him to pay the price! Have you forgotten? Blake Griffin scored [-] points against the Pacers! So if Aldridge also scored [-] to [-] points in the next game, don't be surprised!"

Barkley was triumphant, maybe he had forgotten the result of the last time he looked down on a Chinese so lightly.

"Can't even beat the Clippers and Warriors, and the Pacers want to challenge the sixth Trail Blazers in the West? I bet that Coach Charles Henson will end his sweet trip to the West with a four-game losing streak!"

Barkley's words were televised, which caused great waves in the fan circle.Of course, the news also reached Henson's ears.

Jan. 1, Portland Rose Garden.In the player tunnel before the game, a T.NT reporter stopped Henson to discuss Barkley's remarks.

"Sir Flying Pig's hilarious remarks could be bound into a book heavier than himself, but obviously no one would. Not because of the weight, but because his words are of no nutritional value! Bet?

Henson responded viciously to the camera, and the reporter froze in place, not knowing whether Henson was joking or speaking out of anger.

Angrily, Henson walked into the locker room, and the players were also very serious.They know that the boss is unhappy, and you'd better not mess with him at this time.

Because of the very personal "dialogue" between Henson and Barkley, this game immediately attracted the attention of many fans.

Many neutral fans watched the live broadcast of the game through T.NT TV station.They were not interested in the game itself, but to see whether Henson took off his clothes and ran around the court after the game, or Barkley took off his clothes and ran around the studio.

Because just after Henson was interviewed, Barkley responded immediately: "I bet you, Coach Henson!"

Henson did it because he was genuinely pissed off, not because he wanted to compete with Barkley.The media used An Jiali's matter to talk about the team's performance, which made Henson very angry.By doing this, the media will undoubtedly involve that innocent little girl in unnecessary trouble.

But Henson is not the kind of foolhardy person. He believes that after two consecutive inexplicable losses, luck will no longer play tricks on himself.That's why I'm so confident in front of the camera.

Today, luck did not play tricks on Henson.However, the progress of the game was not as smooth as Henson expected.

At first, Henson wanted Granger to put pressure on Aldridge with a fierce confrontation.However, after the game started, it turned out that Henson's strategy did not play any role.

Aldridge, who is 2 meters tall, can eat and drink on Granger's head. The most important thing is that this guy's shooting ability in the confrontation is terrifyingly stable!
With just one turnaround jumper after receiving the ball from the waist, he smashed the Pacers' defense to pieces.Aldridge's moves are not gorgeous, nor are they explosive.But he used the most simple way of shooting to torture the nerves of Henson and Granger.

The Blazers established an early lead at home, and Aldridge was simply unstoppable in the paint.In the first quarter, he scored 7 points on 6 of 12 shots.Even though Granger was as rough and as hard as he could get, Aldridge was as steady as a machine.

This No. 06 in [-] is like a cold-blooded killer, who likes to crush the enemy step by step in silence!

34 to 22, the Blazers relied on Aldridge to establish a 12-point lead in the first quarter.It seems that after the two-game losing streak, the Pacers will inevitably be slaughtered in the Rose Garden.

"It seems that using Granger to top Aldridge doesn't work, Henson. Maybe, we still need to get higher." After the first quarter, Vogel whispered a reminder next to Henson.

Henson nodded calmly. Although he looked calm, his heart was not as calm as it appeared on the surface.

Being behind by 12 points in the first quarter was undoubtedly a devastating blow to team morale.If Henson can't motivate the players in time, the Pacers will be defeated in one fell swoop.

And it's useless to motivate players, Henson must really find a way to limit Aldridge.If he is only a "chicken soup coach" who only plays lip service and has no real material, Henson will soon lose the trust of the players.

But in order to stabilize the morale of the army first, Henson could not act flustered.

"Twelve minutes have passed, have you adapted to the environment here? This is the Rose Garden! This is the home court of the Trail Blazers! Don't be confused by the romantic name here, because among the 12 people here, there are less than 19980 people who believe that we won the game, that is us! This is not romantic at all, this is the battlefield of men!"

Things have to be done step by step. Henson first has to let the young people who are still in shock regain their confidence.After that, there are tactical adjustments.

"That's right, I still believe we can win, and I hope you think the same! From now on, forget about the embarrassment of the first quarter and just pretend it's still 0-0! Gentlemen, calm down, we still have three full quarters to regain control. Don't give up so quickly, you are not the kind of little girl who is scared when things happen!?"

"No."

"It's so loud in here, I can't hear you!"

"We are not, boss!"

"Very good, then I don't have to wipe your tears! Listen, in the second quarter, Horford, you go to mark Aldridge yourself. I don't want to see him score easily again!"

"Mike Roberts, you are the top five! After the Trail Blazers lost Oden, the fifth position has not been strong. I don't ask you to dominate the penalty area, but I want you to try your best to protect every rebound, and then let every bastard who tries to make mistakes in the penalty area pay the price!"

Mike Roberts and Horford nodded vigorously. Whether the Pacers can slow down depends on whether the inside line can start to change.

These two transposition arrangements made the Pacers' inside line bigger.To deal with Aldridge, Henson had to sacrifice some mobility.

After the start of the second quarter, Trail Blazers fans and Barkley scoffed at Henson's substitution.The last Mike Roberts wanted to reverse the 12-point difference?Henson is daydreaming!
"God, Henson will become the first coach in NBA history to run naked on the court!" Barkley said triumphantly in the studio.
