The Basketball Court Swordsman

Henson started to work as an assistant coach while studying with Stevens. Now Henson's life is almost a three-point line formed by home-Consecco Arena-Butler University. But Henson didn't find it boring, because he was promoted every day and was able to absorb what he wanted to know.

Like Stevens, Henson has gone from reading a book crazy to watching a video game. Thanks to this age of Internet development, if you change to the old days, even if Henson wants to find a wealth of game videos, he may have to work hard. He really didn't know how guys like Vogel and Stevens persisted.

After the start of the preseason, Henson and Vogel performed well. The Pacers played 5 preseason games, 4 wins and 1 loss. Bird declared that O'Brien was unwell and unable to command the preseason. In fact, everyone knows that O'Brien is "destined soon" in Indiana.

After learning with Stevens and practice in the preseason, Henson came up with a set of his own tactical concepts. At the beginning, Henson also imagined that he could think of the famous coaches and find a tactical concept that he liked and could earn a reputation, such as Phil Jackson's triangle offense, such as D'Antoni's fast whirlwind.

But later Henson discovered that these things seemed a little flashy. What is a triangle offense? If you ask Rodman this question, he will definitely answer you, the triangle offense is to pass the ball to Jordan. What is running and bombing tactics? That is the use of violence to a certain extent to give up defense. On the contrary, Pat Riley, Popovich, Auerbach and even Bird himself were not known for any tactics. But their success is not small.

So Henson understood that tactics are for the team, not for the team. Arranging suitable tactics for suitable players and bringing victory to the team are the skills of a coach and the essence of tactics. If you become a slave to tactics for pursuing those fame, you will go astray. It seems that after so many years, no one can learn Phil Jackson's triangle offense well. All those coaches who claimed to have mastered the essence of the triangle offense, without exception, all died miserably. Because they are all thinking about how to play the triangle offense, not how to play the game.

So after summing up so much, Henson's tactical philosophy is actually one word-space.

Basketball is a game that creates space for yourself and at the same time seals off the opponent's space as much as possible. Around this word, this foundation, Henson began to build his own tactical edifice.

After the preseason, the NBA regular season began, Henson once again left the coaching staff and became a scout who needed to travel around the country.

Speaking of which, Henson is now holding multiple positions. In addition to investigating opponents, analyzing his own players, and preparing to become a coach, Henson must also find hidden talents for Bird.

This summer, the three people Henson found for Bird, Holiday, Matthews and Green have all signed a guarantee contract with the team, and Matthews was also excited to have a phone call with Henson. After all, in the preseason and the previous summer league, Henson gave Matthews the opportunity to let Matthews use his talents. Without Henson, Matthews wouldn't know what he was doing now.

Holiday went straight into the team rotation, while Green and Matthews were transferred to the Development League by the O'Brien Cup.

This is the only thing Henson agrees with O'Brien, and instead of letting them sit on the bench to waste time, it is better to give them some games.

It is precisely because of Henson's outstanding performance in the scout position last season that Bird still needs Henson to find outstanding rookies for him.

After all, Bird’s ambition is not just the playoffs, his ultimate goal is to make the Pacers win the O'Brien Cup!

So Henson started again his life, either by flying or on the way to flying.

Henson toured many schools, saw one genius after another, and handed Bird an amazing scout report. But as far as Henson is concerned, so far this year, he has not found any player that satisfies him.

Those super geniuses who are well-known all over the United States are not up to the Pacers' turn. After all, Bird's goal is the playoffs, and he will not allow the team to lose ground. And the lesser players, Henson looked down on.

So although Henson has seen Kentucky’s John Wall and Wall’s teammate DeMarcus Cousins, he knows very well that the Pacers cannot get these two best guys. of. What Henson needs to look for now is a guy who is not favored by people and may not be highly ranked, but has the opportunity to become a star.

Hayward under Stevens counts as one, but only one goal is obviously not enough. Therefore, Henson is now a bit burnt. People say that the 2009 rookies are difficult to make superstars, but in Henson's view, the quality of these rookies in 10 years is really worrying.

In early December, Henson went to uCB to visit An Jiali again. The girl looked at Henson now, more enthusiastic and unrestrained than before. Those young people who have coveted An Jiali for a long time, the eyes of Henson are full of envy. And An Jiali's good friend Abby Hornacek, but still wary of Henson.

On this winter night in December, Henson left the Bay Area immediately after having dinner with the two young girls. After all, the real purpose of Henson's trip was not to tease his sister, but to Fresno, 298 kilometers away from the Bay Area.

Fresno, many people have not even heard of the name of this place. An Jiali knows that there is a place on the map of the United States called Fresno, because she especially likes to eat raisins from Fresno. Fresno's raisins are indeed world-famous. After all, grapes are abundant there and are known as the "Raisin Capital of the World".

But An Jiali only knew about this place and she had never been to it. With curiosity and unknown, Henson marched towards Fresno overnight.

The reason why he ran to the place where the birds did not **** overnight was only because Henson’s good partner Stephen Silas said that he had found a guy at Fresno University that Henson might be interested in... ....

As always, when Henson arrived at the hotel, Silas had prepared all the materials Henson needed on his desk.

"The guy's statistics are very beautiful, and his performance on the court is also very good. The only problem is..."

"What is it?" Henson passed the information at random first, and asked while reading it.

"The only problem is that the Fresno University basketball team can only play NCAA second-level league games, so I don't know if this guy can perform this way in a high-level confrontation." Silas Spread his hand, which is why he needs Henson, because Silas is uncertain whether this guy is worth the team's in-depth attention. A player with good statistics in the lower leagues is not necessarily because he has the strength, but it may be because the others are too weak.

For example, those foreign players who scored forty to fifty points in the CBA at every turn, in the NBA, it is very likely that they will not even get 10 points.

"Well, you go and rest first. I will study his statistics. Tomorrow, let's go and watch this guy's game. By the way. What's his name?" Henson said, looking at the cover of the statistics report.

"His name is Paul George. He is a good guy. He looks like a natural scorer."

"Paul George?" Henson nodded, "This name is really easy."

At midnight, Henson was still studying George's data at his desk. As Silas said, this guy is a natural scorer. His shooting division is not serious, he can inside and out, and he also has a three-pointer. And after calculation, George's defense is also very good. When he is there, the team loses a lot of points every round.

This kid has no problem with his style and attitude. Because people with bad attitudes can't do defense well. Tomorrow Henson will use the data analysis module to see if this guy named Paul George can adapt to high-level competitions.

Fresno University has trained the most famous basketball star and is the "streetball king" Alston who is very familiar to Chinese fans. But setting aside Yao Ming's relationship, Alstom's strength is indeed less than fame. Looking for geniuses in such a school, people might say that Henson and Silas are crazy. But the scout, isn't it just a carpet search for talents?

Henson rubbed his temples, tired, but full of accomplishment. Paul George, this is another gold mine to be excavated. After reading all the information, Henson stood up, ready to wash and sleep. But at this moment, the phone on the bedside table rang.

Henson was still cursing who was so unreasonable, calling most of the night. But after seeing the name on the caller ID, Henson was instantly energetic.

Because Larry Bird never calls Henson for no reason.

"Bird, early!" Henson answered the phone and spit out the time he called.

"I don't have time to fight with you haha, brat. The management has just finished the meeting, listen up, our decision is like this. Three days later, Dennis Posey will walk away. Before that, I must see You stand in front of me neatly, and then we sign an assistant coach contract."

Byrd this guy still speaks without obscurity. After all, the Pacers' still poor results will definitely make him suffer.
