The Basketball Court Swordsman

Just one day after losing to the Orlando Magic, the brilliant Indiana Pacers this season appeared on the wooden floor of the American Airlines Center in Miami at six o’clock in the evening. Henson deliberately brought the players to warm up early, which is enough to prove the importance he attaches to this game.

Although the last game just lost to the Magic, the reporters at the scene found that the young people of the Pacers seem to be full of energy today, sweeping away the haze of previous failures.

There is no doubt that the Pacers can adjust so quickly, thanks to their head coach Henson Joe. If Henson had not dared to speak up in front of the media, perhaps the state of this young team would not be adjusted so quickly.

It’s normal for young people to suffer. But the most unbearable thing for young people is that they have suffered and haven’t said it.

But now that’s good, the Pacers have a coach who is willing to speak up for the players. When he bravely stood up for the players to fight the injustice, the sorrow in the hearts of the young players disappeared. Of course, Henson paid a price of $15,000 for his actions and remarks. But for the team, in Henson’s view, the money is very worthwhile.

In the past, 15,000 US dollars is almost astronomical for Henson. But for the current coach Henson, although $15,000 is a lot, it is not yet affordable.

The outside world is still discussing Henson’s bold remarks. This guy has almost become the coach who has been mentioned the most in recent days. As a party to the whole incident, Henson had already put himself out of the matter. The media love to hype that is their business, the only thing Henson wants to do now is to get out of Miami!

“Bad news, Henson. Silas has just got the information and Wade will be back in this game.” Two hours before the game, Frank Vogel reported to Henson an unsmiling one. intelligence.

The Heat have experienced too many injuries this season, which is one of the reasons why their performance is still not good enough. Wade has also suffered injuries recently, but he only rested one game before returning to the line.

He injured his left wrist. Henson didn’t know the extent of Wade’s wrist injury. But he is sure that Wade’s injury cannot be healed, and the “Flash” is bound to play with the injury today.

After all, the Heat have such a bad record now, and Wade must be eager to win. But the left wrist… This is a very crucial supplement for basketball players. Not to mention other things, even the most basic shots will be affected by this injury.

Henson considered for a while, and finally decided to focus on James. As for the injured Wade, we have to see how he is today.

While Henson and Vogel were discussing the game plan, there was a sudden fierce cheer from the stands behind them. Henson turned his head to see that the Heat players came out of the player tunnel!

“It’s so late to come, the host is really impolite.” Henson couldn’t help but vomit. It seems that the Heat are really relaxed today. After all, compared to their star-studded lineup, the Pacers’ lineup looks a bit shabby.

Spoelstra did not come to greet Henson, nor did the Heat players interact with the Pacers. Most of the Pacers coaches and players are rookies, so they don’t know much about the Heat players.

In this way, the warm-up of the two teams unfolded in a cold atmosphere.

“Coach Henson Joe, I’m so glad to see you here!” At this time, a white “deep groove” suddenly appeared in front of Henson. Henson swallowed and looked up. It turned out to be Christine. At this time, the young female reporter was leaning over Henson sitting on the bench and waving.

“Oh, Miss Christine, how are you doing? I said why I didn’t see Sarger today, so they sent you here.” Henson greeted Christine enthusiastically, and by the way took away his gaze that was almost in a ditch.

“Mr. Sager was at the ATT center today. I was very happy when I knew that I could come to your game for an interview! Thank you so much last time. Without you, I would not be able to deal with Mr. George Carr.” Christine said, reaching out his hand.

“Are you shaking my hands with me as a reporter for Christine, or Miss Christine?” Henson’s words amused the little girl again. She had never seen a coach like Henson who was “out of the bounds”. If Henson was not the coach of the Pacers, Christine would definitely treat the glib Henson as a liar.

It seems that Henson is not a “good person” in the eyes of most people.

“Kristen, let’s go, we have to go to LeBron!” The shout of the live photographer made Christine release his hand quickly. After all, she is only an intern reporter, and she must perform well enough to stay. The slightest negligence at work is fatal to an intern.

“I want to continue chatting with you, Coach Henson, but…”

“Go, Christine, work is work.”

The young girl nodded apologetically, and walked quickly towards the Heat’s halftime in high heels.

“Tsk tusk tusk, big stars are different. Look over there, and then look at us here.” After Christine walked away, Henson opened his arms and spit at Vogel.

The Heat’s halftime was covered by various reporters and cameras, and it looked very lively. In the Pacers halftime, there was nothing but Henson and his players. The eyes of the entire American Airlines Center, or to be precise, the eyes of the world, are on the Heat.

“This is the difference between a super team and a civilian team, man. Look at Dunleavy, he still feels good, are you sure you are going to take him off the starting lineup for today’s game?” Vogel stood with his hands in his arms. Next to Henson, even though they were ignored by others, the Pacers players still worked hard while warming up. Because Henson and Vogel watched them, it was enough.

“We must contain LeBron James and try to contain him as much as possible. If LeBron is completely liberated, we will not be able to win.” Although Henson is confident, he is not arrogant. He is not arrogant enough to be ignored. The point of James.

“Dunleavy, he is not good at defensively, so this game makes him better off the bench. Don’t worry, I have talked to him, he is willing to accept the role of the bench.”

“But let Danny Green start the kid…” Vogel looked at Green, who was shooting from beyond the three-point line, with some worry. Green’s performance this season is pretty good, and his training is hard enough. Every day, he always comes to the training ground one and a half hours in advance, and after the training, he will practice for one and a half hours before leaving. But in Vogel’s view, Green is not good enough to start.

“If you don’t let him try, how can you know if he is good enough?” Henson tilted his head. Danny Green may be the least known of the Pacers newcomers.

He doesn’t have the potential of Holiday, the three-point accuracy of Matthews, the athleticism of George, and even the personality of Stephenson. But a word he once said to Henson left a deep impression on Henson.

“Coach, I want to play basketball and I will follow all your instructions. Even if it’s throwing towels, picking up basketballs, handing water…”

This is what Green said to Henson last year, when he heard the rumor that he was about to be waived from nowhere. Although in the end facts proved that this rumor is not true. But Henson saw in Green, something that may be more important than football skills-persistence!

This thing will allow a player to face great difficulties without stage fright, and even exert a stronger force.

Before the game started, Henson specifically called Matthews and Green to the front. Both were selected in the same year, both played in the Development League, and were also selected to the Development League’s best defensive team. Their cooperation has been very tacit, whether it is cooperation on the offensive end or on the defensive end.

“I know, this may be unbelievable. But your goal is LeBron James! Remember, you would rather short Wade than allow James to get any easy scoring opportunities! Even if he can score, let his every You pay a price for scoring! Be tough, LeBron never thought we would cause him such a big trouble! Look at those reporters, in their eyes we seem to be worthless. But after the game, I will let you all put the spotlight on Grab it!”

Matthews and Green nodded, then stepped onto the court. At the same time, amid the cheers of the Heat fans, LeBron James threw magnesium powder on the technical stage. This is his iconic appearance, and every time he does this, he can directly push the atmosphere of the scene to a climax.

Henson looked at LeBron with open arms and the dust floating in the air, and he was a little stunned.

Look, what a beautiful “funeral” this is.
