The Basketball Court Swordsman

As always, Henson didn't care much about the preseason wins and losses. For Henson, the preseason is a place for players to find their status and experimental lineups. Victory? The victory or defeat in the preseason seemed meaningless to Henson.

Therefore, this year, the Pacers' record in the preseason is not good. 7 games, only won 3 of them. There is no doubt that this is not good, it can even be said to be a bit bad record, so that the media pushed Henson to the forefront.

"As far as I know, the annual sales of BodyArmor energy drinks have exceeded the US$200 million mark. I have to say that this is an incredible commercial achievement. After all, a few years ago, their sales were less than 5 million. US dollars. Maybe Henson should continue to focus on business instead of the basketball court. Because he is no longer suitable for coaching teams."

"With only 3 wins in 7 games, those who say the Pacers can threaten the Golden State Warriors simply laugh out loud."

“The Pacers’ rotation is very chaotic, and the players’ tacit understanding has not yet been established. I don’t know if the Pacers need a run-in process, but I’m sure that the Pacers’ performance will be very early this season. disappointing."

Sitting at home early in the morning, watching the negative news about himself on the phone, Henson was not angry, but smiled at the sun.

After immersing in the whole summer, these media should have been unable to wait to scold themselves.

Two years have passed and many things have changed. Two years have passed, but many things have not changed. For example, the media is still so annoying.

"Henson, aren't you going out yet? Today is the first day of the new season. You can't be late." An Jiali walked down from the second floor with her baby, although she had just given birth for half a year. But An Jiali's figure is about to recover.

"It's okay, Indianapolis doesn't get stuck in traffic. That's why I like this city. Mrs. Smith, they will ask you." Henson yelled to an aunt who was busy in the kitchen.

This aunt was specially invited by Henson to take care of An Jiali and Emily. After all, after the official start of the season, Henson will definitely be busier than before. No matter how Henson adjusted, he couldn't be with his wife and daughter all the time.

In order to work at ease, Henson asked an aunt to help take care of the mother and daughter. And it turns out that Mrs. Smith did a good job.

"Don't worry, Coach Henson. You can go to work with peace of mind, and let the media who look down on you have a taste. Tonight, I will accompany An Jiali to the box to watch the game." Mrs. Smith, who has gray hair He shook his fist at Henson.

In Indianapolis, men, women and children are basketball fans.

Today, it is already October 25, 2016. That's right, it is also the day when the new season opener starts.

As in the past, this year the NBA has arranged 3 opener duels for fans.

Among them, there is a preview of the Western Conference finals between the Spurs and the Warriors, and the Eastern Conference dominance between the Cavaliers and the Knicks. In the third game, the league gave the Pacers a chance.

After all, Henson's return has attracted the attention of the Pacers this season. If you don't take advantage of this opportunity to make a fortune, the president of the alliance will not be called Adam Xiaohua.

Therefore, in the first season after Henson's return, the Pacers were treated as an opener. The weight of their opponent is also not light, but the Chicago Bulls led by Jimmy Butler!

Early in the morning, when Henson drove to the entrance of the Banker’s Life Arena, he found that countless news cars and reporters had gathered here.

Outside the arena, huge posters of the Pacers players this season were hung up. As always, Henson's huge poster was placed in the middle.

Under his huge poster, there is a propaganda poster that he has seen long ago, with the words "Legend Return" written on it.

For some reason, Henson got goose bumps. After two years, he finally ushered in the beginning of the new season.

This is a new era for the bull.

This past summer, the Bulls personally disintegrated the strength lineup for many years, and the Windy City no longer has a rose.

But with the arrival of the "Flash" Wade, the Bulls quietly came to the "Big Three" era. Both Rondo and Wade have experienced their respective brilliant "Big Three" era, and they are no strangers to the "Big Three" model. Therefore, it is believed that the Bulls of this season can burst out a very terrifying force.

In the team, Jimmy Butler, as the leader of the new generation, has taken over almost all the Bulls games in recent years under the influence of Rose's injury. But on the whole, Butler still lacks leadership qualities and strength, and the roles of Wade and Rondo are now evident. In addition, a lot of players have been selected high in the team in recent years, which undoubtedly increases the competitiveness of the Bulls.

The perimeter combination of Jimmy Butler, Wade and Rondo, just thinking about it, will cause the opposing team a lot of trouble on the defensive end.

Moreover, in the previous season, Jimmy Butler seemed to have taken a doping whenever he met the Pacers, and he was always able to perform well. After all, he is still trying to prove that the Pacers were extremely stupid to make himself a substitute.

Under many factors, whether it is the bookmaker, the media, or the fans, they all believe that Henson's first game of return is a lot of bad luck.

"The Big Three of the Bulls are underestimated by the outside world. Whether it is Rondo or Wade, their three-pointers are getting better."

"Moreover, there are many qualified substitute players on the Bulls bench. The Bulls added center Robin Lopez, point guard Isaiah Cannan, forward Grant and the rookie who completed the lore in the summer league and helped the Bulls win the championship in the summer league. Valentin, they can inject fresh energy into the Bulls. Of course, don’t forget that the Bulls also have Mike Demot, Mirotic and Portis on the bench. Mike Demot and Mirotic can provide outside lines. Firepower, and Portis has the soft touch of the basket, Tony Snell can also help the Bulls defense."

Before the game began, countless commentators were analyzing the advantages of the Bulls. In their view, the Bulls seem to be better than the Pacers from the starter to the bench. As if saying that the Pacers cannot win the ball, it is "politically correct".

But the three maverick "living treasures" of T.NT TV will not follow the trend. When the whole world is waiting to see Henson's joke, Charles Barkley did the opposite.

"Come on, it's a ghost if the Bulls can win. Wade, Jimmy Butler and Rondo, the three of them together are a three-pointer combination. Oh, don't forget. The Bulls' current head coach is not Thibodeau, but Fred Hoiberg. When Thibodeau was in charge of the team, his ability to sort out offense was weak. The Bulls have been unable to solve the problem of space on the offensive end of the team. But the current coach Hoibo Not only did Grid's coaching not solve the original problems, but it also added many problems. For example, the unreasonable allocation of player time, the team's offense remained unchanged, and the defensive efficiency decreased."

Barkley began to belittle the Bulls into the microphone, which immediately made T.NT's position different from other media.

"Then you mean, Coach Henson will definitely win his first victory today?" Kenny Smith smiled.

"That's inevitable. The guys who clamored that the Bulls will win, but they have forgotten how terrible Henson is.

Of course, Barkley's voice is like a grain of fine sand in the desert, which is insignificant. He alone can't change the public's view of this game.

Why is the return of a head coach in a mere commotion made so popular? Everyone is looking forward to the Bulls giving Henson a taste. Let him know that your antique age is over.

"I will go all out. In the Bankers Life Arena, I never know what exhaustion is." Before the game, Jimmy Butler expressed his determination to lead the team to victory. Even if Henson returned, Butler didn't think he could be stopped.

At this time, the Pacers' players still did not play to warm up. Because in the locker room, Henson is talking to all the players.

"I know I know that few media think we can win. Why? Because we have stopped in the Eastern Conference semifinals for two consecutive seasons. In their eyes, we are no longer a strong team. But don't forget, Our record last season was better than that of the Bulls! To be precise, our record has never been worse than that of the Bulls in the past five years. So today, why are they better than us!"

Henson flushed with shock, which made Becky Harmon worried about his heart.

"So I often say that what the media say is fart! Don't worry about the comments that are unfavorable to us, and don't care about the 7 wins and 3 wins in the preseason. Can preseason victories be eaten? No! But! You can win the regular season! Go on the court and shut everyone up. Then, kick the Bulls in the ass!"

"Roar!" The players roared and rushed out of the locker room.

In the past two years, the introverted Vogel couldn't create this kind of competition atmosphere. But after Henson came back, the Pacers players seemed to have become the "Robin Hood" who specializes in winning the championship.

Henson was at the end, and the closer he was to the exit of the player channel, the louder the pitch would be.

Henson stopped and took a deep breath. He felt the temperature and sound of the stadium, felt the smell of gunpowder and copper in the game. At the same time, I was feeling my heartbeat.

Chicago Bulls and Jimmy Butler? I am afraid that I have forgotten how I was educated back then!

Henson opened his eyes suddenly and stepped onto the court! Suddenly, the cheers of the fans doubled, and they all fell into Henson's ears!

"Legend! Legend! Legend! Legend!" Then, the noisy cheers turned into neat and unified shouts.

Henson looked around, fans, spotlights, big screens, cheerleaders, hardwood floors, referees... and the three championship pennants hanging on the dome of the arena.

He is back, back to this place where he has achieved countless glories!

Henson didn't exaggerate to the point of kissing the Banker's Life Arena. He just touched his heart and touched the Pacers logo in the middle of the court floor.

Then Henson looked up and stared at the Bulls players with a playful smile.

Tonight, Henson wants to eat beef dinner! Angry bull, just let the horse come!
