The Basketball Court Swordsman

The Pacers' 12-game winning streak set the best start record in team history, and Henson Joe returned...The Pacers have played well this season so far.

Henson has also been very energetic recently, and the cruel words have been given to the guy Xiao Hua, so he can't just say nothing.

So for the next few games, Henson is making full preparations. Although chest pains may occasionally occur after working too late, Henson did not care too much about this problem that can be relieved by just a few minutes of rest.

In the first game after Henson returned, he led the Pacers to defeat the New Orleans Hornets 117 to 105 at home. There is no suspense in this game itself, because the champions Anthony Davis and Daniel Granger both missed due to injuries, so the Hornets only rely on Holiday to support this game.

Holiday this season is terrible, averaging data has soared to 17.7 points and 8 assists! As Henson predicted at the time, Holiday has fully grown into an All-Star point guard.

But in front of the former "Queen Bees" of the Hornets, Holiday is obviously not enough to play. The Hornets were suppressed the entire game, and there was no chance at all. The final result also faithfully reflected the game process, people even jokingly said: "The Hornets are just for coach Henson."

At this point, the Pacers have won 13 consecutive victories, and their record of the best start in team history has been further improved.

Everything is so smooth, as if the Pacers have been so smooth this season. However, in the long season, there will always be some moths. So the trouble came again.

"I have never heard of this, who released the news!" After the game with the Hornets, Henson immediately called all the coaching staff to stay for a meeting. It's not that there is something worth studying in this game, but after today's game, Henson heard a message from reporters that was not so beneficial to the team.

"Coach Henson, I heard that the Pacers are going to sell Paul George, because the Pacers are not going to sign a major contract with him after this season. Is there such a thing?"

When Henson heard this rumor from the reporters, he was stunned. What deal, what big contract? The team has no such plans at all, at least as far as he knows.

Generally speaking, these reporters must have received some news before spreading news. After all, if the news is made up without a clue, the reporter will definitely not confront the coach in person. Therefore, Henson has reason to believe that the information leaked after the team reached an agreement with the reporter.

As for why this out of nothing news has become so concerned, I have to talk about the previous deal between the Thunder and the Rockets.

At the beginning of this season, due to the Thunder's trade of James Harden to the Rockets, the team was unwilling to spend a lot of money to renew the contract with young stars.

Although Harden's performance in the Finals last season was indeed bad, everyone must admit that Harden is still an important part of the Thunder. After all, he is the best sixth man in Oklahoma!

However, the Thunder has put such a young potential guard in Houston because of money issues. The reason is that they don't believe that Harden is worth a big contract.

At that time, if the Thunder can't match the other team's contract to Harden, and if Harden and other teams sign as free agents, then the Thunder will get nothing. Therefore, they simply put Harden on the shelf directly, and how much they can exchange something back to minimize the loss.

In this way, the bearded Harden, who played well in the Western Conference Finals last season and helped the Thunder enter the Finals, was traded to the Houston Rockets.

After the Rockets got Harden, they immediately renewed the contract with a five-year $78.5 million contract, retaining this talented guard.

This transaction caused an uproar at the time, and it was indeed not worthwhile to "send" a potential new star to another team because of money issues. But this also shows from another angle, as long as you play well enough, you are not afraid that no team is willing to pay a lot of money to sign with you. The Rockets can give him everything Harden can't get in the Thunder!

So at this juncture, the news that the Pacers want to trade Paul George is unavoidable.

George is in third grade this year and will be able to renew his contract early next summer. Although the Pacers can risk a contract renewal, but the boss is willing to spend the money. As we all know, the Pacers never wanted to squander dollar bills uncontrollably like Los Angeles and New York.

Therefore, if George can't be retained, the Pacers will definitely take advantage of George's highest transaction value and choose to trade now! With the lessons learned by James Harden and the precedent for the Pacers to let Matthews go this summer, reporters can undoubtedly analyze a lot of shocking things from it!

Therefore, such a rumor was born. As the head coach, Henson has never heard of it.

Seeing his own coaching staff were equally bewildered, Henson held his forehead. Not the coaching staff, can it be a higher level of management?

Do Herbert and Vivek really don't want to spend a lot of money to renew George? Then those two people who were not cautious had the idea of ​​trading George and accidentally leaked the news to the reporter?

This possibility is not without it. Henson is just a coach after all. It stands to reason that the coach has no right to interfere with the team's personnel changes. Many coaches know that the players are going to leave after the deal has been finalized.

But Henson believed that he would not be so miserable in the Pacers. After all, he is the first championship coach in the history of the Pacers! And over the years, I have always had a great say in signing and trading!

So the next day, Henson personally gathered the management for a small meeting. But the answers received are all negative.

"Henson, you know our working style. If we really have such a plan, then I will definitely tell you in advance and discuss it with you seriously." Byrd spread his hands, "I only heard this rumor yesterday. I also want to figure out which **** released the news."

"Yes, and my father told me this summer, let me fully support your work. If you think it is necessary to renew the contract, we will not be stingy. Right? Vivek." Stephen Simon also said. , And then looked at Vivek.

Henson's "old father-in-law" nodded slightly, of course he was even more unlikely to cheat Henson.

As a result, the men fell silent again.

"It's not us... Could it be that George's manager deliberately released the news? George didn't want to stay in Indianapolis? Or he wanted to take the opportunity to raise the price?" Vivek said.

"No, it's impossible!" Henson waved decisively. He knew George's character very well, and he was confident in the Pacers locker room.

The 24th should love here, refer to Matthews, if it weren't for Henson for his sake, Matthews wouldn't want to leave! George also brought him in and grew up step by step, so George would certainly not want to leave the collective.

Moreover, George will not be able to renew his contract in advance until next year. Even if he and his manager really want to leave, there is no need to jump out and break the skin with the team now.

"Then this news was made out of nothing? We were too nervous." Stephen Simon spread his hands.

"Excessively nervous?" Henson smiled. The young owner obviously didn't know how much influence a trading rumor had on the team's locker room.

Trade George, do you want to add heads? If you want to add a head, who will add it? No one knows this, so every player except Paul may be traded, which will put everyone at risk. So although this rumor is only about George, it is not just George who is affected.

Just like the 2007 Bulls, the team panicked because of Kobe's trade rumors. Although Kobe stayed with the Lakers in the end, that farce directly ruined the talented Chicago team.

Although the young bull was talented, he was psychologically and mentally immature, with low anti-interference ability, and fragile. They were distracted because they could not face such huge and continuous off-field rumors. As the season progressed, the performance of almost all players was seriously affected, because no one knew whether they would have to play for other teams as soon as they woke up. The mentality imbalance caused them to lose too many games. In the 25 games, the Bulls had only 9 wins and 16 losses, and the whole situation was completely out of control. The Bulls even fired meritorious coach Skyles for this. However, this season has been irreparable. The Bulls ended up with a record of 33 wins and 49 losses and missed the playoffs.

A living example is in front of Henson, so Henson doesn't want this tragedy to happen to the Pacers again.

Henson thought carefully, since the news was not released by the Pacers or George, who would release the news? Who is best to release this news? Right to the reporter? No, it's best for teams that want George!

"Whoever is interested in George is the smoke bomb! No matter who it is, he is a bastard! It's a **** **** to release smoke bombs in advance to disturb people's hearts!" Henson patted his forehead sharply, and things became clear. !

"So, who wants George?" Stephen looked at everyone who was sitting.

"I don't know now, but what I know is that I have to appease my players, everybody. If the locker room is panicking, it's just the bastard's suit." Henson turned and left the office, sure enough. A season cannot be smooth sailing.

It’s always **** troublesome, but Henson Joe’s best at solving troubles.
