The Basketball Court Swordsman

On June 29, 2012, 10 days after the Pacers won the championship, this year's NBA Draft was finally overdue.

There is no doubt that this year another group of young talents has attracted everyone's attention. For example, before entering the NBA, the talented forward Anthony Davis has been invited to join the US national team. For example, this year led Kansas to win the NCAA championship. His name is like Michael Kidd-Gilchrist, the third and fourth swingman of the superstar collection.

Many teams are ready to show off in the draft. The draft is not only a gambling, but also a game between the teams. Of course, most teams can breathe a sigh of relief this year, because Henson and Bird, who are very good at "calculating", did not participate in this year's draft.

Because of Al Horford, all two picks for the Pacers in 2012 are now owned by the Hawks. But at the time, the Hawks definitely didn't expect the Pacers' draft pick to be so worthless... Nonsense, can the draft pick of the championship team be worth it?

After studying this year's rookies, Henson proposed that the team directly abandon this year's draft. Even if there is no draft right, don't use current assets to trade other people's draft right. Standing still is Henson and Bird's strategy this year.

"There is no one we need in this year's rookie. I mean, there is no one we need in the scope of operation." This is what Henson said to Bird.

Want to say that this year's rookie Henson doesn't like any of them? Not necessarily. Among other things, let's talk about Anthony Davis, who sees Henson drooling regardless of his physical talent or basketball talent. For example, Damien Lillard of Weber State University, in Henson's view, his potential is at least B grade.

However, these guys are beyond the reach of walkers. Since you can't get it, don't even think about it. And within the range that the Pacers can operate, there are really few Hensons that look good. Even if there is, the team no longer has more room for newcomers to grow.

You know, the Indiana Pacers are not rebuilding the team now, but a championship team! Have you ever seen that championship-level team mess around in the draft?

Therefore, this year's draft has nothing to do with Henson. On June 29th, when the general managers of the teams were still busy fighting, Henson had accompanied An Jiali to the legendary "place of the most beautiful sunset in the world", Oia, north of Santoni, Greece. town.

One day after the lively championship parade, An Jiali and Henson worked out their vacation travel plan. Since the Pacers do not have much demand for reinforcement this year, Henson will not have to negotiate with the United States. The only problem for the Pacers right now is that of Wesley Matthews' contract extension.

But now the free agency market has not yet opened, so Henson doesn't have to worry about it for the time being.

So when he was in the draft, Henson and An Jiali handed over to the first stop of their summer travel plan, Santorini, the small town of Oia!

A huge volcanic eruption in 1500 BC divided Santorini into three parts, and the center part sank to the bottom of the sea. The remaining cracks formed the cliff that is now 300 meters high. There are cliffs on the inner side of the crescent towards the volcano. Cave houses and blue-topped churches are built on the cliffs.

The small town of Oia is also built on these cliffs. The height of the cliff just gave the town the best location to watch the sunset. Standing high and looking into the distance, watching the red sun slowly setting on the blue horizon is extremely romantic.

When Henson, wearing sunglasses, saw the whole picture of the town of Oia, his rough man, who was always dirty, couldn't help but shocked his heart, and shouted, "Wow~"

"It's really beautiful here... isn't it, Henson..." An Jiali looked straight, she had got goose bumps all over her body.

This small town built on a cliff near the sea is like a layer of stairs, staggered high and low. The whole town is white, and the three conspicuous blue-roof churches are just right. It seems that all the white and blue in the world have been used here. Of course, it is not true that there are no other colors here, but there are very few, which can be almost reduced to zero.

After amazement, Henson gave the small town of Oia an evaluation: "This is a dream, but it is a place that really exists!"

It is ashamed to say that after traveling for so long and earning millions of dollars in salary a year, Henson suddenly realized that this seemed to be the first time he had travelled seriously.

It turns out that there is such a fascinating place in this world. Compared to the overcrowded Los Angeles, this is the real tourist attraction!

Holding An Jiali's hand, she shuttles through the white winding mountain trails on the cliffs, looking for all kinds of blue-topped churches with similar styles but different looks.

An Jiali looked around curiously, and led Henson into a small market shop, where she played with various small pendants with local characteristics.

"This one suits you well!" An Jiali picked up a golden bracelet. The design style of the bracelet is very unique. It retains the traditional Greek mythological features and combines a modern design.

"Miss, all the jewelry in this shop is unique, all made by hand." The boss spoke in English that is not fluent but can understand, and communicated with An Jiali.

"How about these two?" An Jiali shook two bracelets in front of Henson.

"Miss has a good eye," the boss interrupted before Henson could speak. "These two bracelets, one is engraved with Athena wearing a helmet, and the other is Cupid, the famous **** of love in Greek mythology. The guardian **** of Athens is Athena, so this pair of ring has the meaning of guarding love, and it is a pair of couple bracelets in the style of ancient mythology."

"Awesome!" Henson groaned in his heart, this can be pulled together by the boss. If he is recruited to the team, it is estimated that the Hornets can give Davis to the Pacers!

But complaining about it, because An Jiali likes it so much, Henson still put the two bracelets in his pocket. Moreover, the price of the bracelet is indeed not expensive for Henson and An Jiali.

"Now, you will wear Athena in the future, and I will wear Cupid. In this way, even if we are separated, our hearts are connected!" An Jiali happily dangling towards the sun with her bracelet, even if she was a rich girl, she also joined others. There is not much difference between girls.

Tired of walking, Henson took An Jiali into a cafe. The cafe is elevated in the town and overlooks most of the place. Just order a cup of coffee and sit here, watching the beautiful blue and white world quietly, watching the time flow bit by bit, Henson felt that time was not wasted.

After all, this is a hundred times more comfortable than staring at the screen in the office and bedroom to watch the game video.

The long and welcoming street buildings, set against the blue cloudless sky of Santorini, made Henson forget the constant hustle and bustle of people around him, and forget the troubles and disputes.

Finally, Henson and An Jiali went to the small square under the windmill of Oia Castle to enjoy the most beautiful sunset scenery in the world.

If Santorini has the most beautiful sunset, then the sunset in the small town of Oia is the most beautiful on the holy island.

The sea breeze is very strong at sunset, and even in June it will suddenly feel a little cold. An Jiali picked up Henson's arms and wrapped her tightly around herself, instantly warming up again.

"I must admit, this is the best summer I have ever had." Watching the sun gradually being swallowed by the sea level, Henson kissed An Jiali's shoulder lightly.

"Henson is still growing this summer, this is just the beginning of a beautiful summer..."

Henson was lying on the big bed of the hotel at this time. Although a good day's travel, it also made him very tired.

I don’t know what the result of the draft is. I don’t know which team was robbed and which team had the last laugh. Sometimes I suddenly relax, and Henson really misses the life of intrigue with those bad old men. It's not that a peaceful holiday is bad, but basketball, which has completely integrated into Henson's blood.

The TV in the room was littered with advertisements, and Henson did not watch TV at all. He turned on the TV, just hoping that there would not be only the sound of running water made by An Jiali in the bath.

But after a few minutes of advertising ended, a picture appeared on the TV screen that made Henson instantly attracted.

The basketball game is a basketball game. If Henson is right, it should be the local Greek league.

The player Henson on the screen does not know any of them. Although Greece is also a strong basketball country, this does not mean that the players in the Greek League are also designated players.

But at this moment, a guy who made Henson's eyes shined appeared.

The first feeling this player gave Henson was that he looked super like Durant! Same weight loss, same height and arm length! No, it is not appropriate to use height and arm length to describe him, because he is really "too" tall and arm length!

Although the player's confrontation ability is not good, the finishing ability seems to be average. After the stride meteor broke through the restricted area, he was brought down by the opponent's inside line, and he couldn't even make a shot. Fortunately, he got a chance to stand on the free throw line.

This guy doesn't seem to be very good at playing now, but Henson knows very well that his body was born for basketball! And physical talent is something that others can't get after a hundred times hard work! Henson immediately decided to let Silas find information about this guy for himself after the holiday!

Perhaps this is an occupational disease. Seeing any players who are a bit messy, Henson wants to see if they are worthy of attention. In addition, this player is still very, very young, he may not be 20 years old! Maybe, it's not the age to participate in the draft!

At this moment, the player's name was typed at the bottom of the TV screen. But as soon as the name was typed out, Henson was instantly confused.

He knew all these letters, but if they were connected together, he couldn't read them at all!

"This..." Again, Henson felt that he had suffered a cultural loss.

What kind of name is this? It's just to put a bunch of letters out of order.

"Then call him... the Greek monster." Henson smiled bitterly, and silently memorized the bunch of "letters" on the phone.
