The Basketball Court Swordsman

Chapter 7 - : Safe clearance

As Bird said, the Pacers really lost at home today, it was a miserable loss. The Pacers’ team hit only 37%, and the team’s offense basically relies on Daniel Granger’s individual singles. The defense that the Pacers are proud of is not up to date.

They let the old guy Duncan score 27 points, and at the same time let Ginobili, who came off the bench, made 8 of 10 shots and scored 26 points! 81 to 99, the huge score difference was written **** on the big screen at the scene, looking so dazzling. After this game, the Pacers’ record became 15 wins and 27 losses, and the Pacers seemed to be getting further and further away from the playoffs.

But Bird in the luxurious box was not upset by the result of the game. The blond old man with a big back shook the goblet gracefully and sniffed the aroma of the wine. Henson, who was sitting beside him, had just swallowed a good black pepper steak.

“What do you think of this game, Henson?” Looking up, Bird asked another question without warning. Henson has become accustomed to this way of talking about Bird’s thoughts and questions during this game.

“To tell the truth?” Henson put down his knife and fork and wiped his mouth.

“Of course to be honest.”

“Sucks.”

Pritchard glanced at Henson, which was too true. In his impression, Henson was a taciturn person, how dare to say anything today.

But Bird is not angry, after all, he is a guy who talks straight. People say that Bird likes to “pretend” as a player, but in fact, Bird just likes to tell the truth. Henson’s answer was just in line with Bird’s appetite.

“Yes, it sucks. So, your role is very important, Henson. We need to change, and the draft is the cheapest way for us to complete the transformation. Your player report is very interesting, you don’t need to listen to it in the future. The coaching staff’s arrangements have been arranged, and I will directly connect with me. Where to go and observe whoever you are, all follow my command. But again, I also need you to find me the best and most suitable players for the team! If you can’t do it ,” Bird looked at Henson with an unquestionable expression. Otherwise, Bird is a natural leader?

“If I can’t do it, I will be a cleaner.” Henson laughed mockingly, maybe the cleaner is his own world.

“I hope in the future I won’t have to see you mopping the floor when the players are sweating. Okay, today you go back and rest. I will contact you again for the next plan. Also, don’t call me if you are okay. , I have enough calls.” Byrd finished speaking and got up to leave, but Henson’s cell phone rang.

Henson took out his cell phone, and it was his “old friend” Posey who called.

“Hey, you idiot, didn’t I let you stand there and wait for me!? Where the **** did you go!?” Henson had just pressed the on button, and Percy screamed irritably and jumped uncontrollably. come out. It seems that after losing, Posey was in a very bad mood. There is no doubt that Henson is his best “punching bag”.

Posey’s curse even reached Bird’s ears through the earpiece. Bird, who was about to leave, looked back at Henson and couldn’t help frowning.

“I…I’m in the luxury box, with Mr. Bird…” Henson replied deliberately in a hesitating manner.

“You? In the luxury box with Bird!? Oh, then I’m having an outdoor barbecue with the President of the United States! Don’t play around, I’ll give you two minutes, Henson. If you can’t show up, you won’t use it tomorrow. !”

“Mr. Henson will come, of course not to report to you.” At this moment, Larry Bird’s loud voice came from Posey’s ear. He turned his head in surprise, and Bird was walking towards him. . And beside Bird, he was following Henson who hadn’t hung up the phone!

Posey’s mouth opened wide, this guy may think he is a hell!

“From now on, Henson will directly dock with me. And your task, Percy.” Byrd stepped up and helped Percy tidy up the messy collar. Posey’s body was trembling slightly, and he didn’t even dare to get out of the air, “Your mission is to lead the team to play that **** game for me!”

Bird now has a high voice in the Pacers management and has always been known for his iron-fist style. Posey knew that Bird’s attitude towards the coaching staff has been somewhat cold since the last president, Donnie Walsh, left. Walsh hired a coaching staff headed by O’Brien with the goal of returning to the playoffs. But this is already the second season of O’Brien’s coaching staff in Indianapolis, and the team’s record has not improved in the slightest.

So not only Henson’s position is at stake, but the position of everyone in the coaching staff is also at stake! Now facing Bird’s tough statement, Posey was too scared to say a word. When it comes to changing the coach, Bird may have to discuss with the team owner. But if he wants to change his little offensive coach, Bird alone has this right!

“As… as you wish, Bird. This defeat today…”

“I don’t want to hear you explain, I just want to see the results. Now, go back and take a good rest, you have worked hard.” Byrd patted Posey on the shoulder and gave him a step down.

Percy walked away with his tail in embarrassment, giving Henson a glance before leaving. That **** Chinese scout, count him lucky today!

“Bird, are you really going to move the coaching staff? You have a scout to directly connect with you?” After Posey walked away, Pritchard asked casually.

“Move the coaching staff? No, at least not now. I know that O’Brien and the others will take some time. I believe Downey’s eyesight. He has a reason for O’Brien and his team. But… .. They had better not overestimate my patience. As for you, Henson. I don’t trust the coaching staff too much, but I prefer to trust you, so don’t let me down. I’m very happy to have dinner with you, I hope in the future You can also do your own job well.”

After speaking, Bird and Pritchard waved away. Henson let out a sigh of relief, he finally didn’t lose his job!

When Henson came out of the Conseco Arena, there were not many people left around the arena. Today the Pacers were brutally abused by the Spurs, and most fans chose to leave early during the garbage time.

Henson found an ATM, then took out his business card and called the taxi driver. Today, I was able to retire completely, and I really thank the driver for his trust in me.

“Hello? Mr. Carter? This is Henson Joe, the Pacers scout who didn’t pay for your car earlier. Yes, now you come to pick me up, and I will pay you the money for the car by the way. “

A few minutes later, a familiar taxi approached Henson slowly. Henson took a closer look, and it was the driver who drove him today.

“Mr. Henson, to be honest, I didn’t expect myself to receive your call.” After getting on the bus, the driver immediately chatted with Henson intimately.

“I won’t break my promise, Carter. Take me home, 177 Storrow Avenue. When I get to the place, I will pay you with the money for the previous car.” Henson flipped through his mind and found his home. address.

The driver immediately stepped on the accelerator, and the old taxi rushed. Henson looked at the street scene passing by outside the window, and his mood suddenly became bright.

From the journey to the present, Henson has never been so relaxed. Henson has spent the past 24 hours under high tension. Saved his job as a scout, and his previous life was cut off from him. Whether it is Hansen or Hensen, everything will start from scratch. Now, Henson’s “zero” is about to take the first step.

It’s basketball…Henson was killed and he couldn’t imagine that he would be able to do basketball-related work on an NBA team. The trajectory of his life is like the street scene flying away outside the window, further and further away from the original route.

“So, are you really a scout for the Pacers?” Carter who was driving while Henson was traveling.

“Can there be fakes? I met Larry Bird today.” Henson smiled triumphantly.

“Larry Bird, yes, he is a good guy. Is he tall, taller than he looks on TV?” I can see that Carter is very curious, he is a true Pacers fan.

“Higher than on TV, and scarier than on TV, Carter. When he looks at you, your body seems to be transparent, and Bird can easily see you through.” Thinking of today Posey Henson was really impressed by the way he was afraid of Bird.

“So, did Bird tell you when he will change head coach? In today’s game, O’Brien’s defensive arrangement is nothing short of shit! He let Manu and Duncan score 53 points, so that the two add up. The nearly 70-year-old man scored 53 points! God! If Bird coached himself, he would never allow this to happen!”

“I’m afraid it’s impossible for me to know such a thing, Carter. I’m just a scout. What I have to do is not help Bird find the coach, but help the coach find the players he needs.” Henson smiled and went straight to become For the players and coaches, that’s a good life.

“Anyway, thank you for your contribution to the team, Henson. I hope you can bring the most potential players to Indianapolis.” Carter said slowly and pulled over and they arrived.

“Thank you, Carter. By the way, this is the money for the car, which is paid together twice.” Henson paid the money and was about to get out of the car to see his house, but was stopped by Carter.

“Keep my business card, and if you need a car, you’ll be there on call! I’m doing something for the Pacers.”

“You’ve been a great help, Carter! Be careful on the road.” Henson waved his hand and watched Carter’s taillight disappear into a distant corner before finally leaving. Henson didn’t know what medicine Percy and Bird were selling in the gourd, but at least he was sure that Carter was definitely a good guy.

I bid farewell to the driver Carter, and when Henson was about to look at his “own” house, the electronic sound appeared in his mind again.

“Achievement: To keep the scout job, please choose achievement reward.”

Subsequently, Henson presented some options. He suddenly discovered that in this world, maybe he can be more than just a scout…
