The Basketball Court Swordsman

George killed the Hornets and helped the team end a four-game losing streak. This not only allowed Henson’s team to get rid of the predicament, but also allowed people to see George as a killer for the first time.

Under the background of George’s completion of the lore, the Pacers’ morale boosted, so they beat the Cavaliers in the back-to-back game the next day, and ushered in the Christmas holiday with a two-game winning streak.

The Pacers players are undoubtedly lucky, because from the 22nd until the 25th, they have no games to play. Compared to the teams that have game tasks on Christmas Day, the Pacers players can get four days of rest. Even if Henson on the 25th is about to assemble the team to start training, the players still have three full days to rest.

The three-day rest period is undoubtedly quite a luxury for the players who are in the season. With plenty of time and two consecutive victories as a foil, this Christmas seems extremely perfect.

After the game with the Cavaliers, Henson disbanded the team and let the players start their holidays. Except for a few more words to Stephenson, Henson was more at ease with everyone else.

After everything was arranged, Henson drove back to his empty home.

Just like when I first walked into this house, the living room of Henson’s family was neat and full of dust, as if no one had ever lived. The room was extremely messy, with various videos and materials scattered on a small computer desk.

Henson used to laugh at the owner of this body as a workaholic. He didn’t expect that he seemed to be no different from Henson before.

The advantage of living alone is that Henson can concentrate on work without worrying about being interrupted. The disadvantage is that he really has nothing to do except work. Looking at the empty house and the dust on the floor, Henson had the idea to dive into the room and start studying the game video.

Fortunately, An Jiali’s phone call stopped Henson.

“Are you home? What are you doing.” An Jiali talks to Henson on the phone every night. This is the only way Henson can solve the boring problem every night.

“I’m about to watch TV for a while,” Henson didn’t tell the truth, because if he said he was going to watch the video of the game, An Jiali would definitely be nagging for a long time, so that he would not think about work all day.

Afterwards, An Jiali and Henson talked about the funny things they met in school, and Henson also talked with the girl about her work. If it were in normal times, the conversation between the two would almost end, but today, An Jiali did not hang up the phone.

“That…Henson, this Christmas…My dad and I want to visit you.”

“Come on to me?” Henson turned to look at the empty room.

“Well, you are alone anyway, I want to accompany you, but Dad insisted on coming with me, so…”

Of course, at Christmas, the father is very eager to reunite with his daughter. But when she heard that An Jiali didn’t plan to go home for Christmas, Vivek decided to follow in her daughter’s footsteps. So in an instant, Henson’s home will welcome two important guests.

“That’s great, very welcome!” Henson smiled at the phone. This home should be lively.

Christmas is the most important holiday of the year in the West. At this time, shopping malls usually engage in sales promotion. Everyone will rush into the mall with their families to buy and prepare Christmas gifts for children and friends. During the Christmas period, the store has a dazzling array of discounted goods.

Henson walked in the mall, at a loss among the crowds. American stores entered the peak consumption season one month before Christmas, but the real climax was before Christmas Eve. The mall is full of people, and all goods will be looted within a few hours. Last night Henson also saw a surveillance video of a mall on the Internet. As soon as the mall opened, the crowd immediately flooded the mall. The exaggeration of the scene made Henson feel incredible.

Today, Henson has also become a part of this exaggerated crowd.

In Indianapolis in December, the sky dimmed early in the afternoon, and there was light snow in the sky. The weather forecast today’s afternoon temperature is only minus six degrees, but this does not seem to stop people’s enthusiasm for shopping.

The large and small shops in the Indianapolis business district were brightly lit, and Henson was strolling on the street, often seeing people passing by in full load. He moved from one store to another, shopping from store to mall.

Henson was surrounded by the laughter of strangers, and their faces were filled with happy smiles. People carrying large and small shopping bags, walked past Henson in pairs.

Of course, occasionally someone would stop to ask Henson wearing sunglasses for an autograph. Henson was really uncomfortable, but he didn’t expect to be a public figure now. When he first crossed over to Henson, he just wanted to keep his job as a scout so that he didn’t have to live on the streets.

But who would have thought that the down-and-out scout who even looked down on the hotelier would now become the head coach of the Indiana Pacers…

???? Unknowingly walking around the street for an hour, Henson still has his hands empty. Choosing players Henson is very good, but choosing gifts seems a bit embarrassing for him. The father and daughter are billionaires… I believe everyone will feel a headache for giving gifts to the billionaires.

In the end, Henson bought a pair of basketball shoes for An Jiali. As for Vivek, Henson helped him choose a good box of cigars, I hope the boss will like it.

Finally, Henson did not forget to buy a Christmas tree and move home. For the holidays, the home must be arranged anyway.

In the afternoon, Carter’s rental car parked in front of Henson’s house. There were Christmas songs on the radio in the car, and in the joyful singing, Henson took out three wrapped gifts from his arms and gave them to Carter who had accompanied him for two years. Had it not been for Carter’s trust and hadn’t left him on the highway, there would be no coach Henson.

“Merry Christmas, Carter, thank you for driving me around this year. Now take the car back and accompany your family. This is a gift for you.” Henson handed the gift. He knew that Carter’s family I was a Pacers fan, so I gave them three corn yellow jerseys signed by Pacers players.

?? “Wait, Henson!” After Carter received the gift, he stopped the scout who was desperate. “I also prepared a gift for you. You are a coach, and you must earn more than me. So I I don’t know what to give you, so my son wrote you a copy of this.” Carter took out the card in the envelope and handed it to Henson.

Henson took the postcard. Although the gift was simple, it made Henson feel extremely warm. Yeah, who cares what he receives? What people care about most is that kind of heart!

After getting out of the car, Henson couldn’t wait to open the postcard and look at it. There were a few lines crookedly written on it, but Henson liked it very much.

“Coach Henson, thank you for getting the Pacers back on track in times of crisis. Please bring us more victories! We love you! Merry Christmas!” Below a few lines, there is a portrait of Henson. Of course, it’s just a few pens written by a child.

Henson smiled and shook his head slightly. It turned out that he could be loved by fans, but he was full of such a sense of accomplishment.

After Henson got home, he cleaned the house quickly and placed the Christmas tree in the corner of the living room. After plugging in the electricity, the colorful lights on the Christmas tree lit up, and the originally icy room finally had a festive color.

After a while, An Jiali and Vivek also arrived on time with gifts. In Henson’s memory, this was the first time someone visited this house during Christmas.

After a lot of busy work, the three of them sat around the table and ate this Christmas Eve dinner until 8 o’clock in the evening.

Although Vivek and An Jiali are billionaires, they are surprisingly good at cooking. In this regard, even Henson is ashamed.

An old-fashioned candlestick is placed in the center of the dining table, and a white candle is lit and inserted on it. Looking at a table of sumptuous meals and a room of people enjoying themselves, Henson felt that it was almost like a Chinese New Year’s Eve dinner. The family reunited and enjoyed themselves… Well, it’s just that he and An Jiali are not a family. At least for now…not a family yet.

“Merry Christmas, An Jiali, this is for you. Of course, Mr. Vivek, I also prepared a gift for you.” Before eating, Henson gave the present to An Jiali and Vivek.

In the West, it is not impolite to open a gift in person after receiving it. Vivic saw that Henson gave a pair of basketball shoes to his daughter, and then gave a box of cigars to the non-smoker…I have to say that this guy’s gift-giving level is really bad… …

“Thank you so much, Henson! How do you know I think these shoes have been a long time!”

But looking at his daughter’s happy smile, Vivek felt that Henson’s gift did not seem so bad.

“Okay, Henson. Let’s talk about work. I heard that you and Bird are looking for a center who can run and jump. Right now, we really don’t have many options. But I got news, George Carr. It seems that I don’t get along well with Chris Anderson…”

Henson looked at Vivek in surprise. There is a boss who understands basketball. It really is different.
