The Basketball Court Swordsman

Paul Giorgio holds the ball on the flanks and Italian Gallinari is a little nervous. He kept his center of gravity as low as possible, so as not to be passed by the high guard who has scored 27 points.

George looked up at the timer and then began to dribble. At the same time, Henson stood on the sidelines with his hands around his chest, frowning. George Carr, an old rascal, may not have a good temper, but his coaching ability is really strong. With such a lineup without superstars, the Nuggets ranks among the top eight mid-ranges in the Western Conference this season. It is indeed very difficult.

At this point, there are 5.4 seconds left before the end of the game, 101 to 100, and the Denver Nuggets are only 5.4 seconds away from ending the Pacers' 19-game winning streak.

But Henson doesn't understand it that way. In his opinion, these 5.4 seconds represent the distance between the Pacers and 20 consecutive victories!

When the time on the timer passed the number 4, George suddenly accelerated the breakthrough! Thanks to Henson's training and badge bonuses and the effect of the badge "pre-season training camp", George has made rapid progress in his offense with the ball this season. George himself has made great strides, fast!

After jumping to the mid-range position, George suddenly pulled up to shoot! Gallinari's reaction was half a beat slow, and Iguodala came to make up the defense!

However, in the air, with little time left in the game, George shook his wrist and turned from a pass in the air! Keep calm at critical moments, this is not the ability that all stars have. However, George is such a big-hearted player.

The basketball crossed the gap between Iguodala and Gallinari and was sent to Leonard who was inside the basket. If it was placed last season and saw Leonard holding the ball at a critical moment, then George Karl could start celebrating the victory.

But this season, Leonard has proved more than once that he can score!

Holding the basketball with his long arms, Leonard gently tossed it. This is the action he has practiced countless times with Paul on the training ground.

"Orc" Farid really attacked like a beast, and his terrible bounce was enough to shut out any shots. But Leonard's throwing arc was very tricky, and he almost fell back wiping Farid's fingers.

Capping failed! At the same time, red light appeared on the backboard. George Carr stared at the orange basketball, desperately watching it spin in the air, and then fell into the net!

"Lore! Lore! Lore! 20 consecutive victories! God, this is a **** magical team!" Time seemed to stand still for a second, but after a second, the entire Pepsi Center was boiling. !

That's right, even Nuggets fans can't help but get excited when they see this scene. Lore, 20 consecutive victories, the magic of the Pacers continues!

After the success of the lore, the fans saw Leonard excited for the first time. This "facially paralyzed" young guy smiled, went straight to the bench, and hugged Henson Joe, who raised his arms.

He knows very well that he can complete the lore and lead the team to win the 20th straight game, all thanks to this Chinese coach!

"Kavai, I need you to take the last shot!" This is what Henson said to Leonard dozens of seconds ago. George breaks through to attract the defense, Leonard cuts in and receives the ball... All this is not on the spot, but Henson has arranged it long ago!

"Thank you, boss, thank you!" Leonard whispered in Henson's ear, a role player getting a lore? This kind of thing may only happen in the Pacers.

Because in Henson's eyes, Leonard is not a role player at all. It's just that the time for him to emerge hasn't come yet.

"Don't thank me, this is your own victory." Henson patted Leonard on the shoulder, 20 consecutive victories, really dream...

After the game, George Karl was naturally very angry. Although there were no problems with the final lore, Karl would not easily admit his failure. Therefore, he even brought out a controversial penalty in the third quarter game: "If it weren't for that goal, the Pacers would never have a chance to kill! The league wanted to create a super team, but we became The victim!"

Old Karl was still irritable as always, and the reporters were all expecting Henson's response. Originally, there was a grievance between the Nuggets and the Pacers this season. The "Sanshou Contest" between Paul and McGee and Lawson has not been long since.

But Henson, who had won 20 consecutive victories, was unpredictably "behaved" in the face of George Carr.

"Coach George Carr is very good, he almost made me suffer."

"The Nuggets played well. They are one of the most underrated teams this season."

"I am very happy to have won 20 consecutive victories. The team will continue to work hard."

At the press conference, Henson neither satirized Carl's old adversary, nor boasted of his achievements. He kept smiling the whole time, using proper words, as if he had changed himself.

No way, who makes Henson feel good?

Henson is in a good mood for two reasons. First, after the game, the Pacers can finally set off on their way home with a 20-game winning streak.

Second, after returning to Indianapolis, Henson will usher in his first career... the first endorsement cooperation.

It is not surprising that NBA stars endorse well-known brands, but as far as Henson knows, he has never endorsed clothing brands before.

Maybe, this will be a very wonderful experience.

Bravo Italian Restaurant is a well-known chain restaurant in the United States. Just like the name, it is precisely because their Italian cuisine is very authentic that they can achieve the scale of a national chain.

Indianapolis also has a Bravo Italian restaurant, and today, the entire restaurant's employees are waiting for it, as if a "war" is about to be experienced.

At this time, the entire restaurant was empty, with only a white-haired old man sitting in the middle position, studying the menu. The waiter stood upright beside him, unsmiling.

From these scenes, it is not difficult to see the particularity of this guest.

At this moment, the restaurant door was opened by a waiter who said "Welcome" in Italian.

The white-haired old man who was looking at the menu turned his head and looked at the man who hurried into the restaurant, smiling.

It is not someone else who came here. It is the Chinese head coach, Henson Joe, who is now a big hit in the league and has just led the team to the best 20 consecutive victories in team history, and the winning streak may continue.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Giorgio Armani, I didn't expect a traffic jam!" The Henson Alliance walked to the white-haired old man, slightly bent over and stretched out his right hand.

"It's okay. I just arrived. Sit down, Henson." The old man shook hands with Henson in an easy-going manner, not as serious as his appearance.

That's right, the white-haired old man in front of him is the famous Italian fashion designer Giorgio Armani! Although Henson is not very cold in the fashion industry, but Armani's name, even people who are not interested in the fashion industry, must know.

It's like even people who don't watch basketball must know Michael Jordan.

Born in Piacenza, Italy, Armani, who studied medicine and photography, and worked as a menswear designer in Cerruti, founded Giorgio Armani in 1975. ? And now, Armani has become one of the most famous brands in the fashion industry and an internationally renowned luxury brand.

Of course, Armani did not come to Indianapolis to watch the game. The purpose of his trip was very pure-to find a distinctive spokesperson for his own brand. At this time, this candidate was sitting in front of him.

Henson is a young coach himself, only 33 years old this year, which is an advantage that no other coach in the league has. As he is still young, Henson's figure is well maintained. Although his facial features are not comparable to those of entertainment stars, his unique self-confidence and youthful face still make him very attractive.

Armani has seen Henson frowning on the side of the court with his hands around his chest countless times before making the decision to make him a spokesperson. In his opinion, Henson on the sidelines is a model!

Think about it. Let a high-profile and good-looking coach wear an Armani suit every night to coach in the most watched basketball league in the world. Needless to say, we all know how much drainage this will bring to Armani.

The number of close-ups of Henson's live camera in each game is not inferior to that of league superstars. A game can get so many pictures, which is undoubtedly more cost-effective than putting on a TV commercial.

The NBA has strict restrictions on the equipment and wear of players. Most stars cannot wear their favorite sports brands at will. Clothes and various protective gear can only be provided by Adidas.

But for coaches, the league has no restrictions. What brand of suits do you want to appear on, whatever you like.

"Mr. Armani...Why me?" Henson scratched his head embarrassedly. He really couldn't figure out how he could be related to internationally renowned luxury brands.

"If I say, I like your taste in clothes, do you believe it? The NBA has many players with personalities, but let me say that there are not many coaches with personalities, and you are one of them."

"But many people hate me. If you ask me to be your spokesperson, I'm afraid I will get you in a lot of trouble." Henson smiled self-deprecatingly. Except in Indianapolis, he estimated that walking on the street would be for no reason. The beating.

"Hate is only one aspect. On the other hand, everyone is willing to pay attention to you. Hate, but the emotion they get after paying attention to you. And this emotion can be changed. By the way, Henson, I heard you With your girlfriend, planning to have a wedding in the summer?"

"Uh......"

"Hahahaha, I know An Jiali's father, so don't be surprised, I didn't inquire about your private affairs everywhere." Armani hurriedly waved his hand.

"Yes, sir, there is this plan."

"Marriage is a major event in this life, Henson. I know that you and An Jiali are very busy at work and study, presumably the wedding has not been settled yet? It’s okay, I can design a suit and wedding dress for you, just Think of it as my wedding gift for you."

"Thank you so much, Mr. Giorgio Armani!" Henson was a little flattered. Giorgio Armani personally designed the wedding dress and suit for himself? You can't buy this kind of thing with money!

"Then, about the contract, someone will come to talk to you in a few days. So, have we reached a preliminary agreement?" Giorgio Armani raised his glass.

"I am very honored, Mr. Armani."

"Kang Dang!"

The two goblets touched lightly.
