The Basketball Court Swordsman

NBA All-Star Weekend can be said to be one of Henson's least interested activities. The only good thing that All-Star Weekend brings to him is that he can get a little respite during the busy season.

But this year, the feeling of the All-Stars is different from before. Because Henson didn't expect that he, the "innocent" bastard, would actually be loved by fans.

On the second day of the All-Star Weekend, Henson, Wade and Dirk participated in the activities of the fans Jialianhua. For the first time in history, Henson and two players who had never played for him were sitting together in casual clothes.

While waiting for the event to start, the three were placed in a lounge by the NBA. And Henson became the object of discussion between Wade and Dirk.

"You are a year younger than me, Henson. As a coach, you are simply too young. Are you sure, you really want to let go of all this and leave?" Dirk asked Henson curiously, but not everyone Willing to give up their honor and glory and retreat bravely.

"Yes, yes, and you still have the ability to win the championship this season. If you retire like this, it would be a great loss for the league." Wade also echoed, although if there is no Henson, Wei De's career may be more perfect.

But even so, Wade can't deny Henson's greatness. As a coach, only 39 and a half years old, one hand is already covered in the championship ring.

This kind of honor is something that many coaches can't exchange for a lifetime dedicated to basketball.

"You are professional athletes, buddies. My body can't be compared with professional athletes." Facing Dirk and Wade's curious question, Henson pointed to his heart.

"Moreover, I am 40 years old, but my daughter is under 3 years old. Therefore, I must hurry up and do some of my father's responsibilities."

Hearing what Henson said, Wade and Dirk both nodded. Speaking of family, the two instantly understood Henson's mood for retirement.

It seems that even the tough guy is warm in front of the family.

"Don't just talk about me, it's a pity that you two retired from the game. Dwyane, you can still average 15 points per game this season. Dirk, don't you want to know you and Luca Donchi Will there be any story between Qi and Porzingis? Maybe you can win the championship again."

Wade and Dirk smiled and did not answer Henson's question.

Don't they want to stay? Of course not, they are eager to stay and fight more than anyone else.

But at this time, the three people in this lounge must be particularly touched by one word-time is merciless.

What's the use if you want to stay? When it is time for you to leave, you have to choose to leave.

"Well, let's stop talking about these heavy topics. Let's have a few times the ice whiskey, this afternoon, but it is destined to be very hot."

Wade stood up and blinked at Henson. After all, Henson did not have any experience with the big battle in the All-Star Game.

For the first time in history, Henson felt that participating in an All-Star Weekend event was actually more tiring than directing a game.

Directing the game is mental and psychological exhaustion. Today's activity is a real devastation to physical fitness.

At the beginning of the fan Jialianhua's activities, Henson and the other three were surrounded by a crowd of black fans. Wade and Dirk adapt quickly, after all, they are used to this kind of scene. And these two guys are much taller than ordinary people, so there will be no feeling of being surrounded.

Henson was different. He was the height of an ordinary person. In addition, it was the first time that he had close contact with so many non-local fans. At first, he couldn't adapt.

But even so, Henson patiently satisfied the fans' requirements for autographs and group photos. Afterwards, many media commented that this might be the day Henson had the most smiles since he entered the NBA.

Then, a series of group photos. Henson took photos with Wade and Dirk for half an hour.

Various media, various brands, various channels...Henson didn't know what happened, so he could only follow Dirk and Wade from this location to that location. Henson couldn't imagine how An Jiali could face a camera for a long time when she was a model.

In the evening, Henson and his party also attended a dinner party. In addition to the major business leaders and league superstars at the dinner, all the top NBA league leaders.

To Henson's surprise, even Adam Xiao Hua came to toast himself tonight.

"I'm sorry, you are leaving the league next season." Xiao Hua has a smile on his face, which makes Henson a little uncomfortable.

Because he had met with Xiao Hua privately a few times, the bald president basically had a serious look.

"Don't, from now on, there will be one less troublemaker in the league." Henson joked, and did not nod and bow down because the opponent is the president of the league.

Henson still remembers the first time he met the president of the league, when the NBA was still headed by David Stern. The situation at the time was that he scolded a reporter at a press conference, and the league felt that the influence was not good, so Stern planned to interview Henson.

As a result, Henson used a few good words to flicker Old Man Stern with a smile. In the end, Henson was only fined some money and was not suspended.

At that time Henson, as a newcomer, naturally had to pretend to be a grandson in front of the president of the alliance.

But now, he doesn't have to do that at all, but Xiao Hua has to be polite to him.

how to say? This is how Henson's status in the league has changed over the years.

"Troublesome? No, how could it happen? Without you, the NBA will definitely lack a lot of passion." Xiao Hua smiled. In fact, the subtext of this sentence is, "Without you, the league's revenue will definitely be affected."

"Oh, yes. Tomorrow’s All-Star Game, we prepared a gift for you, Dirk and Wade, I hope you will like it. Okay, I won’t bother you, Coach Henson, I hope you have a good time."

After speaking, Xiao Hua nodded politely before turning to leave. Henson still remembers how Xiao Hua hated himself before. During the time when the relationship between the two parties was at its worst, Henson would receive a fine from the league within three days.

At that time, the media joked that one-third of Henson's annual salary was used for households, one-third was saved, and the other third was contributed to the league.

The result now? So the same sentence. In competitive sports, victory is everything.

Money, status, popularity, and people's love can all be obtained through victory.

"Henson, how did you talk to Mr. President?"

At this moment, An Jiali walked to Henson's side with her little daughter. Tonight, Henson naturally took his family with him.

"Well, we had a great conversation."

The next night, before the start of the All-Star Game. In the locker room, Henson found that many stars would take the initiative to embrace him.

After all, this year the Eastern Conference has three players who played for the Pacers: George, Antetokounmbo and Oladipo. If Leonard is included, there are 4 players who have played for Henson.

With the rhythm of these four people, the entire dressing room naturally becomes very warm.

Henson is also fortunate that James has gone to the West this season, otherwise the two of them will meet in this atmosphere, it will definitely be somewhat embarrassing.

Before the game started, Durant, James Harden, Stephen Curry and other superstars all became supporting roles. Dirk, Wade and Henson became the focus of the spotlight.

The scene first played a tribute video of Wade and Dirk. It must be said that the careers of these two people with staggered fate also constitute a wonderful scene of the NBA.

Wade suffered a serious injury in college to the rebirth of Nirvana after entering the NBA. Dirk went from the "soft egg" at the beginning to the single-core team to defeat the Big Three...

The most perfect inspirational movie script, but that's all.

Finally, Henson's tribute video started playing on the big screen. At this time, the big screen is showing a summer league game. In the picture, a young Chinese coach stood up from the bench and screamed at the players on the court.

The camera zooms in, this young coach is Henson Joe!

Henson still remembered that Jim O'Brien had an uncomfortable voice and couldn't yell, and Posey yelled embarrassedly. So Henson took over the job.

That was the first time he shouted to the players in a game. People don't know that a terrifying coach who swept the league opened the curtain of his career.

After that, the screen flashed the scene of Henson appearing on the coach's bench in a suit for the first time, winning for the first time, cheering with the players for the first time, winning the championship for the first time, and retiring for the first time... .. Too many, too many first time, flashed across the screen.

Henson thought that these things would not affect him, but before he knew it, his eyes were flushed.

Adam Xiao Hua didn't lie to him this time, it was indeed a great gift!

At the end of the film, the photos of Henson, Wade and Dirk were frozen on the big screen. The lights on the scene turned on and the audience burst into applause.

The three of them embraced each other, without exception, their eyes were red.

If so, who wants to leave?

After that, the audience shouted "Keep it Dirk" and "Keep it Dwyane". But there was no voice of "Leave Henson".

On this point, Henson is not surprised. The fans hope that Wade and Dirk will stay, but they can't bear their feelings. And there is one of the most important reasons-Dirk and Wade no longer pose a threat to any team's dream of championship.

But Henson is different. Although this is his last season, his team is still hot to win the championship. And it is believed that as long as Henson continues to stay, his team will continue to win the championship!

Therefore, the fans are also very conflicted. On the one hand, they don't want to see this excellent coach leave. But on the other hand, if Henson did not leave, their home team could not win the championship...

Therefore, Henson has always been a controversial figure.

But even so, Henson still feels great respect today. When your career is recognized by people all over the world, that sense of accomplishment is unmatched by anything else.

And what happened today made Henson even more determined to win the championship.

Henson has been unable to change the matter of retirement. But this "villain hero" has the ability to leave no regrets in his career.

Two dynasties, Henson will build by himself!
