The Basketball Court Swordsman

Chapter 24 - : I'll just say two things

Early in the morning, Henson took old Carter’s car to the Conseco Arena. After the two-month holiday, the pre-season training camp for the new NBA season has arrived, and everyone must start preparing for the new season, including the scout Henson.

When getting in the car today, Carter kept looking at Henson through the rearview mirror. Henson had already noticed that Carter’s eyes were erratic, and he couldn’t help touching his face.

“Is there anything on my face? Carter.”

“There’s something on your face? No, of course not. I just didn’t expect it, Henson. A guy like you would actually attack a young girl.” Carter said, showing a lewd smile.

“What young girl, please make it clear.” Henson gave Carter a blank look. After getting along for so long, the two have become very familiar with each other and often make innocent jokes.

“That’s the time you took that hot young girl home, what a kid, you guys eat tender grass.”

Speaking of that incident, Henson also regretted it afterwards. It’s not regretting what he did to An Jiali, but regretting why he didn’t do anything.

After returning home that day, An Jiali was already unconscious. Henson helped her wash her face, took off her shoes and threw them on the bed, staring at the young girl’s undulating chest and long legs and swallowing, Henson took a pillow and slept on the sofa all night.

When Henson was in China, he didn’t have any love for women, and he didn’t touch a girl’s hand much. Now suddenly encountering this kind of situation that I had dreamed of before, Henson was shocked instead.

When she woke up the next day, An Jiali curiously asked Henson why she slept on the sofa. In fact, An Jiali thought that Henson left the room to buy “sports protective equipment” last night, but she didn’t expect Henson to enter the room until she fell asleep.

Henson really wanted to slap himself in the face, not even a girl!

After that day, Henson took An Jiali to Indianapolis for another two days, and the girl went back contentedly. After leaving Anjiali, Henson went on to study basketball books day and night. In the blink of an eye, the new season will begin again.

“That girl that day? I didn’t do anything! Carter, don’t slander me.”

“The ghost believes in you, well, don’t talk about it, Henson, your performance in the summer league is amazing. I heard that Bird seems to be ready to change the coaching staff.” The Pacers diehard Carter talked about basketball again.

“Change the equipment of the coaching staff? What does this have to do with my excellent performance.” Henson disagrees, and Bird is not satisfied with the coaching staff a day or two.

“The rumors say that Bird will not attack O’Brien first, but will lay off Dennis Posey and then insert you into the coaching staff! This will slowly spread his influence in the coaching staff!” Carter’s The tone was mysterious and secret, as if he was telling something terrible.

Henson stared at Carter with wide eyes, why didn’t he know such a big thing?

Seeing Henson’s expression in disbelief, Carter quickly explained, “Don’t believe it, many reporters broke the news. I believe these things will not come from nowhere.”

Henson studied day and night, and he did not pay much attention to the gossip news about the basketball circle. And after winning the summer league championship, Henson chose the reward of Scouting Accuracy Medal Level 1. The effect was to increase scouting ability by 10%, and he did not encounter any reward that could increase Bird’s trust. Therefore, Henson never thought that he could really enter the coaching staff.

But it doesn’t make any sense to speculate about these things now, because there are still ten minutes away by car, and Henson will resist the Conseco Arena. When the time comes, the truth of the matter will surely surface.

When the Pacers’ pre-season training camp begins, it means that the new season is approaching. Regardless of what those multimillionaires look like in the summer, they must now prepare for the new season under intense training.

Not only the players, Henson, the scout, immediately felt the tremendous work pressure brought about by the approach of the new season. Because compared with the leisure vacation, the work before the start of the new season is undoubtedly much hectic.

When entering the team training camp, Henson was very pleased to find that Holiday, Matthews and Danny Green were all in the formation. Although both Matthews and Green may be delegated after the preseason, as long as they are still in the team, it means that they are temporarily safe.

Seeing Henson appear in the training hall, the three rookies are also quite comfortable. Henson is like the father of these three children. With him on the sidelines, the performance of the three young people will be quite calm.

Henson’s job in the training camp is similar to that of scouts, mainly responsible for statistics and analysis. From the first whistle of the training camp, Henson will record every move of these guys, get to know them in depth, and give Bird and O’Brien a complete scout report.

Daniel Granger’s performance gave Henson a lot of surprises. This guy worked low-key. Although he is the boss of the team, he still plays actively. In terms of positiveness, he is almost at the same level as rookies such as Holiday.

Another guy who made Henson’s eyes shine was Roy Hibbert. This tall “dark tower”, which didn’t get many performance opportunities last season, showed amazing qualities both on the defensive end and offensive end in the training camp. After Henson upgraded his scouting ability, he could roughly see the range of a player’s final rating, which helped Henson to more accurately predict whether a player is good or bad.

But Hibbert’s forecast rating is very strange, the range is actually C-A! Henson didn’t know why the data analysis module gave Hibbert such a disparate assessment. Is it possible that this guy will encounter hidden dangers in the future?

There is also a huge gap in the evaluation of Daniel Granger, C+-A, the lower limit and the upper limit are equally huge. Henson still doesn’t know what caused all this. All he can do is suggest O’Brien to urge them to train. It would be a shame that Hibbert and Granger would stun everyone because of laziness.

Of course, these ratings that Henson saw are not necessarily accurate. After all, his scout medal is only level 1. If the ability assessment of Hibbert and Granger is still so strange in the future to upgrade the medal, Henson will have to consider the reason.

In addition to observing the players, Henson would glance at Dennis Posey’s greasy old man from time to time when he was free. Judging from his lack of love and enthusiasm for work, Carter’s gossip may be so true. This guy may have lost the trust of Bird.

Vogel’s abilities are there after all, O’Brien has always had a reputation in the basketball circle, so these two guys are basically safe at the moment. But Dennis Posey? Whether he is doing well or not, everyone on the global team is watching. This offensive coach’s career may be coming to an end.

After the first day of the pre-season training camp, Henson has already felt the situation of the Pacers players this season. After finishing a day’s work, Holiday intended to take the initiative to ask Henson to have a meal to express his heartfelt gratitude. Because the championship and MVP of the summer league are the results of Henson’s liberation of his offense. In Holledi’s view, among these honors, Henson had half the credit.

But before Hollodi could walk to Henson, Bird, who suddenly appeared on the training ground, “gets the first step” and called Henson into his office.

“Henson, how was your vacation?” Bird took out a cigar behind his desk and sniffed it, then motioned to Henson to sit down.

“It’s not bad, but it’s not interesting at work.” It’s not the first time Henson has entered Bird’s office, but every time, he will be attracted by Bird and Auerbach’s photo.

“I’m not talking nonsense, this time I called you to two things, I hope you are ready. The first thing, you did a good job in the summer league, and now the preseason is starting right away. O’Brien has been feeling sick recently , So Vogel will continue to direct the preseason as the head coach. You will also continue to be a temporary assistant coach. Anyway, now the work of scouts is also free, and more exercise opportunities are not bad.”

Bird spoke very fast, but Henson didn’t ask much after listening, just nodded affirmatively.

Bird likes him. This guy doesn’t have that much nonsense, Henson will follow his own requirements, and he is not bad.

“The second thing, I will give you up to two months of preparation time. If possible, I will sign a brand new contract with you, allowing you to become the official assistant coach of the team from a scout. That’s right, Official assistant coach, not temporary assistant coach.”

After Bird finished talking about the second incident, Henson showed a look of surprise on his face, but he quickly recovered his calm. Byrd smiled triumphantly. He thought Henson would not be surprised by everything. It seems that this calm and steady guy is not pervasive.

Henson still didn’t ask more, but nodded harder. Percy, it seems that the time we can get along is not long.
