The Basketball Court Swordsman

This is the seventh season that Henson has coached the Pacers as the head coach. Although there has been a gap of two years, he is still the best coach in the second decade of the 21st century.

In these seven seasons, he has seen too many joys and sorrows. He witnessed the composition of the Heat's Big Three, and also saw the Celtics' era of the Big Three disappear into the dust of history.

He has experienced crazy summers after another, and has experienced many changes in the league structure.

But Henson said that this year may be the craziest mid-term deal he has ever experienced.

The Lakers and Anthony Davis flicked their eyes. Just a few deals between the Raptors and the 76ers are heavy enough.

Again, Henson was besieged by his opponents. There is no doubt that the Raptors and 76ers trade happened to contain the Pacers.

From the first day of entering the alliance, Henson has been a "enemy of the whole people" role. After all, no one wants to see the sudden rise of a team that was not threatening.

This is how this alliance is. There is only one piece of cake. The more people who divide the cake, the people who originally divided the cake will naturally be unhappy.

After that, the Pacers emerged from a new force and became the overlord of the league. There is no doubt that the alliance hegemon will attract hatred more. After all, the only way to reach the top is to defeat the alliance overlord.

So, now watching the Raptors and 76ers and many other teams struggle to bring themselves down, Henson feels a lot of pressure on the one hand. But on the one hand, I also feel quite a sense of accomplishment.

Just as the media said, the whole world is against itself. Doesn't this just prove that you are powerful?

So Henson turned these pressures into motivation. Since it is the most powerful, it is natural to do the most powerful thing.

After the Raptors won Gasol Jr. on February 8, there is still a week left before the All-Star Weekend begins. The Pacers have 3 games to play this week, against the Cavaliers, Hornets and Bucks.

In 3 games, Henson encountered fierce resistance. After all, all teams in the league are proud to beat the Pacers.

But the strong defending champion did not let them succeed. Henson led the team cleanly to a three-game winning streak, defeating people's illusions.

In this way, Henson ushered in the last All-Star weekend of his career with his outstanding record and super heat...

At the 2019 All-Star Weekend, there will naturally be many "Pacers" on the Eastern Stars side.

In terms of starting, Antetokounmpo and Paul George were both selected. Every year at least two people are selected for the All-Star starter, which has almost become the tradition of the Pacers. And the name of Oladipo is on the bench for the Eastern Stars.

If you count Leonard, who used to play for the Pacers, this year, of the five Eastern Conference All-Star starters, three have played under Henson.

Of course, this year's Eastern Conference All-Star is the most concerned not only the players, but also Henson himself.

As the head coach of the Eastern Stars, Henson received much attention before the game started. Although it is not the first time to be the head coach of the All-Star team, this is the first time Henson has been so popular in an All-Star game.

After all, Henson is the only coach to be selected for the All-Star Game among those who are retiring this year. The same is also the special one.

Wade and Dirk, the fans won are naturally very high. However, due to their current strength, they could not be affirmed in the media vote. Therefore, these two guys also lost the opportunity to participate in the last All-Star.

But then the league took into account the emotions of the fans and specially arranged Wade and Dirk as "wild card players". In this way, this All-Star game has become a particularly strong All-Star game.

In the beginning, Henson didn't care much about it. After all, the All-Star Game is more a stage for the players. The All-Star is a place where players need to perform, and the head coach has no room for performance on the basketball court.

He originally wanted to refuse to participate again for physical reasons, but Adam Xiao Hua said, Henson still sold him face.

Therefore, Henson's plan is to take a few days off during the All-Star Game, and take his family to Charlotte to play, and then when he sits on the coach's bench to watch the ball in the race, he has the right to travel.

However, after Henson arrived in Charlotte, he knew that this All-Star Game was far from being as simple as he thought.

As soon as Henson took his family off the plane, he was surrounded by a large number of reporters and fans. Henson was suddenly stupid, a mere head coach of the All-Star Game, not so much! ?

At first, he thought that other stars landed at the same time as himself. But then I found out that these enthusiastic media and fans came to him.

Henson had no choice but to patiently sign the fans, and then slowly squeezed out. If Henson finds a star to sign, he certainly doesn't want the other party to be unkind. With such an empathy, Henson did not refuse any fan's request for autographs.

Finally got into the taxi, before Henson could catch his breath, Larry Bird called.

"What are you talking about? The press conference? What does it matter to me? Isn't that for the star players?"

When Henson heard that he was going to participate in a series of activities arranged by the NBA tomorrow, Henson suddenly regretted it.

He regretted selling Xiao Hua's face. He had known it earlier that it would be great if he directly refused to participate.

But this kind of encounter was something Henson had never thought of before. It was not the first time he participated in the All-Star Game, but no one was as busy as this year.

When Henson's taxi drove into downtown Charlotte, he knew what was going on when he saw the NBA official posters about himself.

It turned out that the alliance bound itself with Wade and Dirk and was consumed as a feeling.

Henson shook his head. This time, he was pitted by Adam Xiao Hua.

But it's not really considered to be pitted. Although it is troublesome to sign the fans and attend the press conference tomorrow, it is also a great pleasure to be respected wherever you go.

In order to highlight Henson's last season and to attract more attention to the All-Stars, NBA officials will naturally not miss Henson's commercial value. But in the same way, Henson can also feel his mark in this league.

7 years of coaching experience, this is the first time that Henson suddenly changed from a public enemy to a full-name idol...

"Dad, why does Charlotte have traces of you everywhere?" Emily asked innocently, pointing to the huge posters outside the window.

"Daddy's traces are not only in Charlotte, baby. His traces will always be kept in every place in the world where there is basketball." An Jiali touched her daughter's head and answered the question for him.

Henson smiled, the feeling of being admired by thousands of people suddenly is actually quite strange.

Although this year's All-Star, he certainly can't have peace of mind with his family and have fun. But another way to spend All-Star Weekend...

Henson thinks it should be interesting.
