The Basketball Court Swordsman

"Look at her, she is smiling at you, Henson! Look at who this is, it's Dad~"

Emily in An Jiali's arms smiled happily at Henson while walking along the course of an artificial lake in Carmel District.

Henson teased his daughter tenderly. Every time she radiated a smile, Henson always had a feeling that his heart was melted.

It is no wonder that when a man has his own small family, his personality becomes gentler. You see, except for the first day since Henson returned, he has never talked about it in front of the media again.

"Ann, the weather is good during this time, we can take her out more for a walk."

"Yes, it's summer now. As long as you have time, our family can come out anytime." An Jiali has always been smiling since she gave birth to Emily.

Although this summer, she and Henson can no longer run around the world as usual. But instead, it became the happiest summer for An Jiali.

"How do I feel that she looks more and more like you?" Henson joked, looking at his daughter.

"Of course, if you look like you, you're done."

"what did you say!?"

"Hahahahaha, after all we gave birth to a daughter."

Of course, the appearance of Emily did not make Henson and An Jiali's feelings weaker.

They both love their children deeply, and likewise, they still love each other deeply.

In this happy and warm afternoon, Henson's cell phone rang very untimely.

After taking out the phone, Henson's smile disappeared instantly. Because on the caller ID, it is Larry Bird's name.

It's not that Henson hates Bird, but because Bird calls in all likelihood because there is work to do. The thought of traveling between himself and his family would be interrupted by work, of course Henson couldn't laugh.

"It doesn't matter, Henson, it's not far from here anyway. Emily and I can do it by ourselves." An Jiali smiled softly before Henson answered the call.

"What's the matter? Byrd."

"Come to the office, you know what it is." Byrd's response was simple and rude.

"Well, I'll be there in half an hour." Henson hung up the phone, and then hugged An Jiali and Emily in his arms at the same time.

"I'm sorry...you know, the mess of this offseason..."

"I said, it doesn't matter, Henson. Go with peace of mind. We will wait for you to come home for dinner tonight.

Henson smiled slightly. He felt that becoming an NBA head coach and establishing a dynasty was not his greatest fortune. My greatest fortune is to take An Jiali as his wife.

Henson reluctantly took a taxi and left. On the way to Byrd's office, Henson also began to recall recent events...

Now, the time has come to the end of July. The peak of player transfers and free signings has also passed, and just less than half a month ago, the Pacers have officially announced that they will be back to the "League No. 1 Zhanqiu" with a base salary of $1.23 million a year. Lance Stephenson.

Stephenson originally gave up the long contract offered by the Pacers for a higher annual salary. As a result, after the three-year contract is over, he can only sign a basic salary contract of 1.23 million US dollars, which is undoubtedly not worth the loss.

But at Henson's home, Stephenson said he did not regret the decision that year. And he joined the Pacers, the only purpose is to follow Henson.

"I found that you may be the only person in the league who can understand me." This was the last sentence Stephenson impressed Henson on dinner day.

In this way, Stephenson once again became a member of the Pacers. Don't underestimate this guy, there is a data that everyone may not believe.

Stephenson's last season with the Pacers was the player with the most triple-doubles in the league. Even LeBron James failed to complete the miracle of five triple-doubles in a single season.

So Henson believes that Stephenson can still become a useful player if used properly.

"Now!" A sudden brake pulled Henson back from his thoughts. He looked at the street view outside the window. By this time, he had reached the street where he met Antetokounmpo running to the stadium.

This means that there is still some distance from the Banker’s Life Arena. So Henson remembered it again.

What happened to the Pacers after Stephenson? Yes, the summer league has begun.

Brogdon's performance did not let Henson down. His extremely high basketball IQ allowed him to always find open shots. Of course, his organizational skills are also better than Henson imagined. It seems that the cooperation between Brogdon and Oladipo will be very pleasant.

But this summer league, Henson is not most concerned about Brogdon, but two assistant coaches McMillan and Becky Harmon.

Becky Harmon showed her passion and wildness in coaching. She was so angry that she took off her suit and dropped it on the ground in one match. It seems that she is no different from a male coach.

McMillan showed more calmness, after all, he had the experience of an NBA coach. Coaching the summer league is a piece of cake for him.

The "that incident" that Bird said was also related to these two people. At the end of July, it's time to determine the head coach of the Pacers next season.

As soon as Henson got out of the car, he hurried to Byrd's office. At this time, several workers outside the Banker's Life Arena were changing posters.

Although the poster has not been handled properly, Henson has been able to see the huge words above-the return of legend.

Henson smiled slightly. I hope he can really bring Indianapolis back to the legendary era in two months...

But if you are only the general manager, can you really bring the Pacers back to the top?

"Henson, before the start of the training camp, we must determine the head coach, there is no time! McMillan and Becky Harmon can choose one of the two, if not, I will try to contact Mark Jackson or Warriors assistant coach Luke. Walton."

As soon as Henson entered the office, Bird went straight to the subject. It seemed that Bird was also very anxious.

"I can understand Mark Jackson, but what the **** is Luke Wharton? I know that the Warriors played very well under Cole during his absence last season. But to be honest, the Warriors kind of team , Take it to Vivek and take him well." Henson laughed and teased.

"Rather than inviting them, you might as well come by yourself." Henson pointed at Bird with his chin.

"Forget it," Bird hurriedly waved his hand, "I can't stand the toss of the intensive schedule right now. Make up your mind, Henson. After all, you have the most say in who can be the head coach of the Pacers. ."

"McMillan is very calm, but the use of people is too rigid, not suitable for the current era of small balls. Believe it or not, he will make Antetokounmpo into a traditional four-position muscle man. Harmon is young, has potential and has Passion. But lack of experience, and our goal is a championship, not let an inexperienced coach lead the team. IMHO, I think they are not ready yet."

Henson thought of Vogel, who regretted resigning because he hurriedly took office. He didn't want Vogel's tragedy to happen again.

"What can I do? Or I will invite Fischer? Or, we can play Jason Kidd's idea? By the way, I heard that Steve Nash also has the intention of joining the coaching staff. Guys, maybe you will be a good coach."

"Tsk..." Henson shook his head. Fisher, Kidd and Nash are all great point guards, but it is because they are so great that they are not good coaches.

After all, things that are commonplace in their eyes are difficult for other players to accomplish.

Isn’t there a joke on the Internet? If Kobe becomes a coach one day, he will say to his players: "Just two people defended you, why didn't you vote? Isn't it all over!?"

Although it is a joke, it actually makes some sense.

"I think it's better for me to come." After the two were silent for five minutes, Henson spoke.

"You!? You can't be too busy, Henson." Bird thought that Henson was joking with himself, after all, just as the general manager, Henson was already very busy. Not to mention, concurrently as the head coach.

After all, the current Henson, but there is still a small family to take care of.

"Time is squeezed out, Bird. Popovich can do it, Thibodeau can do it, Doug Rivers can do it, why can't I do it?" Henson spread his hands, he didn't think he was better than Others are bad.

Besides, I have the help of badges. After all, work is much easier than others.

When Bird found out that Henson was not joking with him, the surprised eastern expression on his face was already overwhelming.

Yeah, only when Henson Joe sits on the coaching bench can the true legend return.
