The Basketball Court Swordsman

In 2013, Houston All-Star Weekend. There is no doubt that as the head coach of the league's first team, Henson has once again become the head coach of the All-Star team. Compared to being selected for the first time last year, Henson is no longer so excited. After all, he has already won anything that contains much more gold than being selected for the All-Star.

The coach of the year, the championship, in front of these two things, it seems that there is nothing to be excited about to be selected for an All-Star game.

This year's All-Star Weekend was a mixed blessing for Henson.

The worry is that because An Jiali is about to prepare for graduation, this year's All-Star will not be able to accompany herself on the scene. For the fans, this is undoubtedly missing a beautiful scene on the sidelines.

There are two reasons for the joy. The first reason is naturally the Pacers' exaggerated record of 49 wins and 4 losses before the All-Star! Yes, this achievement can only be described as an exaggeration. Played for nearly four months, and lost an average of only one goal per month... You know, even in the 95-96 season, the Bulls won 72 wins. They lost one more game than the Pacers before the start of the All-Star Game!

In other words, the record that claims to be never broken is likely to be "lost" to the Pacers.

The second reason is that as soon as the All-Star Game came, Henson was able to win three options for rewards in one breath.

The All-Star starts with two bonus opportunities and one substitute. Every year during the All-Star Game, Henson is hoarding useful badges for the playoffs. Think about it, if it weren’t for hoarding "This is Spartan" and the art of creating a surprise weapon last year, the Pacers might not have been able to pass the Miami Heat level.

So this time, Henson also chose three rewards that may be useless in the short term, but can save lives at a critical moment.

The first one, he chose the phrase "checking for missing holes": lowering player morale by 20, but giving him 5 game attribute bonuses.

This technique is not as good as it did on Leonard last season. It takes 20 morale points in exchange for the player's attribute enhancement, and there are only 5 games. But if used properly, the same effect can be achieved.

The second wording is "incentive master", reset a player's morale to 100. Well, it's another "shrinking" reward. Compared with "This is Sparta", which reset the morale of the team to 100 last season, this "incentive master" can only reset one person. There is no doubt that Henson must carefully consider which player the badge should be used.

The last and most special one, "becoming a superstar", enables a player to release his peak state early and continue a game... To release his peak state early, Henson thought about George, Leonard, and Jimmy. . Butler is even Stephenson DC. Although there is only one game, the picture is still too beautiful, too beautiful. You know, in the anxious playoffs, the outcome of every game is of utmost importance.

Choosing three words, Henson can be considered three insurances for the playoffs two months later. Compared with other teams, he undoubtedly has a greater advantage.

72 wins record, two consecutive championships... Henson found that his life seems to be more and more dreamy...

Houston, for Chinese fans, this is undoubtedly a city full of feelings. Because just a few years ago, most Chinese fans were the home team of the NBA and the Houston Rockets.

Why did the Rockets suddenly change the style of their jerseys after Yao Ming joined for a season, and mainly use red and white? It is said that because of Yao Ming, there is some meaning to cater to the Chinese market.

But since Yao Ming retired and the group of "Old Rockets" parted ways, Houston has become less attractive to most Chinese fans. What's more, it's Henson, a "fan" who accidentally became an opponent with the Rockets, and doesn't have a lot of affection for the city of Houston.

Without An Jiali's company, Henson's goal for this year's All-Star Game is very simple. Rest, rest as much as possible, rest unscrupulously. So this year, he didn't even carry his laptop, just because he was afraid that he would get up again in the middle of the night to watch the game video.

For Henson, this year's All-Star Weekend is a half-time holiday to relax the sore spine and chest pain that often occurs. But Henson is not very interested in the city of Houston. Coupled with being alone, there is no tourist nature.

Therefore, Henson went to show his face when there was an All-Star game. When there is no game, I just stay alone in the hotel watching TV and sleep, and don't even bother to go downstairs even to eat.

So on February 15, the first day after the start of the NBA All-Star Weekend, at the Masters, people saw Coach Henson wearing a dark blue Armani suit appearing in the first row of stands.

"It's a pity that we didn't see Anjiali Ranadivi in ​​this year's All-Star Weekend. For most people, this is a loss. But I think the biggest loss is Coach Henson. You see. , This guy is so boring to come to watch the Masters by himself." Before the game started, Charles Barkley laughed and teased Henson.

But Barkley was right. Henson was so idle that he ran to the Masters.

Henson believes that the charm of competitive sports lies in competition. Without competition, competitive sports will lose its most charming charm. The All-Star Game is a large-scale show, which itself is a competitive sports show that eliminates the competitive nature. Therefore, Henson has always been less interested in the All-Star Game. It's not a game of real swords and guns. It's boring to have more stars. What's more, these guys participating in the Masters are not necessarily all serious basketball players.

If it weren't for Paul and his wife to go on a date, George's boy also ran with the little girl, and Henson, the "lonely old man," wouldn't have come to watch a masters game.

Speaking of Paul George, Henson didn't know when that guy came up with a girlfriend. It is said that he and the girl met in a nightclub in Miami! Henson didn't like to interfere in the players' private affairs, but was afraid that that stupid boy would be deceived. After all, there are many NBA players planted in the hands of women.

Henson shook his head, trying to keep himself from worrying about this. The game is about to start, so relax?

Eating popcorn, watching a group of half-hearted performers on the court, and applauding as the camera looks fashionably, this is what Henson did on this boring night.

After a game, Henson did not impress. After all, most of the celebrities who play the Masters, even if there are retired players like Mutombo, their level cannot be compared to the past. Everyone is not professional, and participating in this kind of competition is pure fun.

But there is only one player, so Henson has a little memory.

She is the current wNBA legendary superstar, Becky Harmon.

It is not uncommon to invite women to participate in the All-Star Masters. In fact, Becky Harmon had participated in the Masters as early as 2004. It can be said that she is also a frequent visitor to the NBA All-Star Weekend.

Although a woman, Harmon still showed her very high basketball IQ on the basketball court. Every organization and every pass has clear thinking. For Henson, Becky Harmon is the only player who is actually playing tonight. And her extremely high basketball IQ makes him not inferior to a group of men.

At the end of the game, watching the reporters pouring into the court, Henson immediately stood up and prepared to slip away. If caught by reporters asking stupid questions, Henson would be very upset.

But when Henson, who was sitting in the first row, was about to leave the court, he heard someone call him to stop.

"Damn it." Henson gritted his teeth, still didn't hide? But when Henson turned his head, what he saw was not the stupid reporters carrying cameras, but the player he admired the most tonight, Becky Harmon.

"Hello, Coach Henson." Harmon greeted Henson cheerfully.

"Hello, your performance tonight is really great." Seeing that the visitor is not a reporter, Henson also became friendly.

"You...really think so?" Harmon widened her brown eyes. She paid attention to the coach and waited for this opportunity for a long, long time!

"Yes, I appreciate your vision and the way you play. Maybe this summer, I will sign you into the team? Hahahahaha." Henson made a joke, but Harmon didn't laugh. Is a serious look.

"Then do you think... Coach Henson, I mean... Do you think I have the potential to become a basketball coach?"

"Huh?" Henson looked at Harmon's brown eyes in a daze.

He didn't know, these brown eyes had been staring at him for a long time.
