The Basketball Court Swordsman
Chapter 175: : Corn yellow spreading across the United States
T.NT TV’s half-way summary gave fans a new understanding of the situation this season. After all, it is impossible for a fan to follow the games of all teams. So for most fans, they actually use their inherent impression to judge the strength of some teams.
However, T.NT's halfway summary is still very subverting the fans' inertial thinking. For example, they let the fans know that the Celtics are no longer strong. The Lakers, who once won two consecutive championships, are now a team with the Grizzlies...Of course, the most disruptive of them is Indiana. The Pacers, the team that has been rotten for many years, has now formed a new Eastern Big Three with the Heat and Bulls!
"The Big Three in the East? Hmm...I don't like the word Big Three." Henson was holding the newspaper in his hand. Although he said he didn't like it, he still had a smile on his face.
"To be honest, Henson, even I didn't expect our results to be so good." Vogel looked out the window of the plane, a little excited about participating in the All-Star Weekend for the first time.
At this time, Henson, Vogel, George, Paul and Horford, five people with All-Star Game missions, are sitting on the plane to Orlando.
Paul and Horford needless to say, these two guys are players in the All-Star game. Although George was not selected for the All-Star Game, he participated in this year's rookie game and dunk contest.
As for Leonard and Jimmy Butler, although the performance of these two guys is still satisfactory. But after all, the two of them are defensive players, and defensive players are destined to not have too gorgeous data. Therefore, there is no way to lose the All-Star rookie game.
However, Henson was not disappointed because he knew very well that the stage of Leonard and Jimmy Butler was not just as simple as the All-Star rookie game. In the future, they will have more opportunities. Of course, Henson was referring to the opportunity to play in the All-Star Game.
"Could it be that you think that after having Chris Paul, we will be worse than last season?" Henson looked at his assistant. Vogel's biggest problem was lack of self-confidence, or over-cautiousness.
"Of course I thought we would be the top three in the East, but the top three in the East also have a lot of records. But 26 wins and 6 losses... God, I have never experienced such an outstanding result before."
"Don't worry, Frank. It's time to be surprised when the playoffs begin. Now, don't talk about the regular season. This is the All-Star Weekend. Enjoy this hard-won easy time." Henson said After that, he leaned the seat back and closed his eyes beautifully.
The Pacers participating in the All-Star Game seem to have grown stronger...
All-star weekend, this seems to have become a Chinese Spring Festival Gala. People scolded every year, saying that there was no innovation. But at this time, every fan will turn on the TV one after another, and shout after watching: It's so fragrant.
This year's All-Star Weekend is no exception. Affected by the shrinking season, this year's All-Star Weekend has not received much attention, and the prospects are very worrying. As the All-Star vote leader, Howard only won more than 1.6 million votes, which is only about half of howard was when he became the vote leader in 2009. In 2008, even Yao Ming, who was not the king of votes, had 2.53 million votes. This shows how deserted this year's All-Star Weekend is.
However, when Henson arrived in Orlando, he still experienced a very strong All-Star atmosphere.
Propaganda posters all over the street, fans from various places and news cars everywhere make Orlando a big difference from the past.
"I thought the All-Stars this year would be really deserted. It seems that I was worrying too much." Sitting in the business car arranged by the league, Henson couldn't help taking out his mobile phone to take pictures of Orlando during the All-Stars.
"Although fans have less enthusiasm for voting, it does not mean that their enthusiasm for basketball is also diminishing. George, how are you preparing for the dunk contest?" Paul sat at the front and talked to everyone.
"Well, I've prepared well. To be honest, I am very excited to participate in the dunk contest." George is gearing up. He has always been an off-ball shooting scorer. This time he will speak with a dunk. For George Naturally it is a new challenge.
"Don't worry, George, we will all go to the scene to cheer for you. Enjoy it, it will definitely be your night." Henson sat behind and patted George on the shoulder. Of course, he just told George to enjoy it. Instead of winning.
After all, in the All-Star weekend, winning or losing is really not that important. As long as the players can have fun, it is the best result.
"Where are you going to play tonight? Don't tell me you are staying in the hotel. I heard that there is a new good nightclub here. Are you coming?" Paul turned his head expectantly. Fortunately, Stephenson No, otherwise the guy's head must be nodded quickly.
As for NBA players, it's normal to like to have fun, and it's nothing more than gambling, drinking, and women. Of course, the more excessive ones are likely to be drugged. Fortunately, no one in the Pacers has that habit. Anderson who once had this habit has now become a good boy.
Therefore, as long as the bottom line of "medicine" is not touched, Henson generally does not interfere too much in the private lives of players. Therefore, when Paul proposed to take everyone out to play, Henson did not object.
Professional players are a group of adults. If you use the kid-management approach to suppress them, it would be strange if there is no trouble.
Several people in the car nodded, but Vogel rejected Paul's kindness. After all, Vogel is too old, so he would rather have a good night's rest in a hotel than go to a nightclub to consume energy. After all, this season's intensive schedule is still quite grueling.
"What about you, Coach Henson." In the end, only Henson was left.
"Me? I'm not going. You can play, don't get drunk. I have an appointment tonight."
After Henson finished speaking, Horford smirked immediately. Don't forget, at this time last year, Henson and An Jiali just sat in the stands to steal Rivers' limelight.
Yes, how could coach Henson’s young girlfriend be absent from this kind of event?
"Well, we'd better not disturb the boss tonight." Horford winked at Paul.
In fact, Paul and the others could not disturb Henson even if they wanted to, because since arriving in Orlando and returning to their hotel, the Pacers coach Henson Joe "disappeared."
It was not until the start of the Rookie Challenge that people saw Coach Henson in the audience. Of course, beside him is his girlfriend who is sexy, beautiful and young.
The two held hands in the stands, and even kissed unscrupulously when the camera came over. I have to say that wherever Henson goes, he can become the focus of much attention.
But what makes Henson most happy is the rise of the Pacers during the All-Star period.
In the Rookie Challenge, George became a young player whose performance was second only to Irving. Although the high-profile and more fancy Owen won the rookie game MVP, George undoubtedly took advantage of this All-Star to harvest a wave of fans.
On the second day of the slam dunk contest, the Jazz dunked the bench, and Jeremy Evans, the least star player of the All-Star weekend, won the slam dunk contest. If this player who averaged only 1.7 points per game for the Jazz hadn't replaced Shumpert in the dunk contest, I am afraid that he would not have any contact with the All-Stars in his life.
But in the dunk contest, he seized the opportunity to shine, at least to add a flash of light to his career.
Of course, the shot of George flying over his teammate Horford and dunking in a fluorescent jersey has also become one of the classic pictures in the dunk contest. There is no doubt that in today's dunk contest, the Pacers players are still the focus of the fans.
In the All-Star game one day later, the Pacers swept the entire All-Star weekend!
Henson appeared in a bright blue suit, while An Jiali wore a blue slim dress. When Henson and An Jiali stepped into the arena, reporters thought it was entertainment stars walking the red carpet.
Before the game started, Henson was in the limelight. The head coach of the Western Stars, Scott Brooks, who is also very young, shook his head and smiled: "Coach Henson is definitely the most famous and personal coach of the 30 teams in the league. Of course, with him, I I am not embarrassed to accept the title of young coach."
Although Brooks is also known as the "young coach", in fact, this guy is also an old man almost 50 years old. Compared with 32-year-old Henson, he is not young at all.
During the game, Henson always yelled very seriously from the sidelines, attracting the attention of the photographers on the spot. But in fact, this guy yelled something that was not nutritious, such as "nice work", "really accurate vote", "good news" and so on.
But Henson knew that the entire All-Star Game itself was a huge "farce". If you want to make trouble, then make fun!
"This is likely to be the first All-Star game in history where a coach has occupied so many shots." Even O'Neal smiled backwards and backwards at Henson. If he is still playing now, he will definitely In the All-Star Game and Henson had a "spark".
In the end, the Western Stars defeated the Eastern Stars by 4 points. The Thunder's young forward Kevin Durant was elected MVP of the All-Star Game.
But there is no doubt that Henson's performance, coupled with Paul's first Eastern Conference All-Star start and Horford's dribbling, left a very deep impact on the fans' minds.
Are the Indiana Pacers so interesting now? They have all-star coaches, all-star players, and a young guard who can participate in the dunk contest. Its participation may only be comparable to the Miami Heat.
Unconsciously, the corn yellow of Indianapolis has begun to spread in the league...
