The Basketball Court Swordsman

Henson had a dream of something wrong with his often stuffy chest. One night, his chest tightness was not relieved. So he just fell on the table. At this time, there was still a video of the game on the computer screen.

Henson was taken aback and tried to open his eyes. But he was very fortunate that he was not in the hospital or lying on the table. At this moment, he was lying on his soft big bed, and An Jiali's head was pressing on her chest.

"Huh..." Henson let out a sigh of relief, sweating profusely, the dream just now was too real.

Of course, Henson's undulating chest also woke An Jiali. She opened her eyes dimly, and after seeing Henson, she showed a faint smile.

"Morning, Henson."

"Morning, dear."

It’s nice to see how your partner feels when you open your eyes...

"You **** dog, this is the fifth sofa cushion you scratched!"

"Now..."

An extremely peaceful morning, as usual. Henson cursed Kona, who had torn the sofa cushion, while An Jiali was preparing breakfast for Henson in the kitchen.

After rushing the Husky, who never demolished his home but had a soft spot for sofa cushions, to the ground, Henson sat on the sofa and turned on the TV. As always, I read the Morning Sports News.

Today is June 3rd. According to the original plan, today should be the day when the Pacers and the Heat played tie-breakers at the Bankers Life Arena. Unfortunately, Henson didn't let that happen. In the sixth game in Miami on June 1, Henson led his Pacers to a total score of 4 to 2, once again destroying the Big Three's championship dream!

Henson will never forget that scene. He saw LeBron James, the first man in the league who was fearless and fearless, that clank man, the greatest basketball player on earth. In Miami, at the American Airlines Center, in front of so many reporters and fans, weep bitterly.

When he chose to transfer to Miami, he chose to form an indispensable Big Three. James' purpose is very clear, that is, for the championship! At that time, people even thought that this Heat would create another dynasty myth in the league.

However, three years passed. Not to mention the championship, James only played once in the finals. Perhaps the moment after the end of the game on June 1, the strength of James' heart was completely collapsed.

Seeing that scene, Henson couldn't help but go up and hug James. In the past, Henson rarely took the initiative to hug his opponent. He is a villain, he only cares about victory, he doesn't even think about the mood of the loser. But this time, Henson no longer chose to be indifferent.

He suddenly felt that all the players of LeBron and the Heat, even if they were losers, were indeed worthy of respect.

The two hugged each other, and they were surrounded by cameras.

"You did a good job, continue to work hard, go to the championship." James whispered in Henson's ear, although in front of James, Henson seemed to be hugging the **** bear. But from the voice of the brawny man in front of him, Henson heard a cry that did not match his image.

"Don't give up, LeBron, you will succeed sooner or later." Henson didn't know what to say, so he said something that sounds clichéd and encouraging. Of course, Henson came from the heart.

Charles Barkley on the commentary stage saw Henson take the initiative to find James and hug him, he couldn't help but smile and shook his head.

This **** from the beginning has become more and more mature, more and more like a real master...

"Henson, breakfast is here~"

An Jiali's sweet shout pulled Henson away from the American Airlines Center Arena the day before yesterday. In short, now, the Miami Heat has become a thing of the past. And tomorrow, in the Bankers Life Arena, Henson will welcome his next opponent!

Gregg Popovich, it's been a long time since I saw you.

As soon as Popovich got off the plane, a huge poster of the Pacers came into view. Since the Pacers won the NBA championship for the first time last season, this team has become one of the city's signatures. The teams in the North American Sports League have this kind of magical power. The attraction of a team can often drive the economic development of the entire city!

Looking at how well Cleveland has developed because of James in those years, you know that this is not an exaggeration. So in Indianapolis, the city government also put the Pacers poster in the most prominent position. As soon as tourists get off the plane, they can see the sign of the city.

Of course, Popovich’s gaze did not fall on Paul, who was selected for the best team and the best defense team at the same time, nor did he pay attention to George, who began to show his face this year. Similarly, Leonard, who once missed the Spurs, is not Popovich's target.

On this huge poster outside the airport, Popovich focused on only one person.

That is Henson Joe sitting among the players holding a basketball!

During the regular season of this season, the Pacers and Spurs only met twice at the beginning of the season. The record is one win and one loss, with each side winning one game.

But that was the beginning of the regular season after all. After a whole season and playoffs, the two teams' play style and tactics have also changed a lot. Although it has been a long time since the two teams played against each other this season, Popovich is still impressed with Henson.

He is unexpected but always effective in line-ups, his terrifying ability to control the game, his cunning, insidious and decisive... all these things make Popovich admire! Of course, Popovich will not forget the tavern drinking when he and Henson were in San Antonio.

Unexpectedly, when he meets Henson Joe again, it will be the finals.

"Pop?" Seeing Popovich staring blankly at the huge poster in front of him, Spurs chief assistant Mike Budenholzer couldn't help but shouted at the door of the team bus.

"Ah!? Oh, here comes, here comes. I didn't expect that one day, we will actually go to Indianapolis to play in the finals." Popovich got on the team bus with a smile, looking like This old man is not here to play the finals at all. He has a relaxed look, like a tourist.

It's not that Popovich looks down on Henson, but because he will really enjoy the duel with Henson! Therefore, Popovich's mentality will be so relaxed.

"Yeah, who would have thought. That half-hearted Chinese coach actually led the team so far. 72 wins in the regular season, do you believe it!?" Budenhorse shook his head. He also hopes for his future coaching career. Can be so smooth.

Earlier this year, Budenhorse received an invitation from former Spurs junior executive Danny Ferry. The latter is now the general manager of the Atlanta Hawks. Not surprisingly, Budenhorse will leave San Antonio next season and will be alone in Atlanta.

He naturally hopes that his future coaching career will be as smooth as Henson.

The Spurs team bus began to head to the hotel, and Indianapolis was full of posters for the Finals. On the streets of this city, you can see players wearing Pacers or Spurs players everywhere.

The atmosphere of the finals is already very strong.

"Look, it seems that the media can't bear it anymore." Budenhorse, who was sitting next to Popovich, smiled, and then handed his mobile phone to Popovich.

Father Vitch took a closer look. The bold news headlines on the phone were all related to him and Henson.

The finals is a contest between the top teams in the two divisions, and it is also a dialogue between two coaches with strong personality and strength.

? Long before the finals started, the media began to hype the encounter between Henson and Popovich.

"... Coach Popovich, with his reputation as a champion coach, reached the Finals once again, defeating almost all Western Westerners in one season. But don't forget, Coach Henson has beaten Popovich this season. It’s an odd one. No matter how others look at it, I believe the respected coach Popovich will not allow this embarrassing thing to happen again during the Finals."

"...In 82 regular season games, the Pacers won 72 wins! The Spurs have only lost two games since the playoffs. Two rounds of sweeps 4-0, highlighting the Spurs' impressive strength! Both teams are in very good shape. I think this will be a very intense and beautiful series. Because of the personalities of the two head coaches, no one will actively admit defeat when they meet each other!"

Watching these news, Popovich smiled. Of course, his favorite is the news at the bottom of the screen.

"This season's Finals is basically a battle between Coach Popovich and Coach Henson!"

"I'm looking forward to it more and more, Mike." The old man is gearing up. It has been a long time since there has been no coach who can make him so excited.

Yeah, that's right.

This is basically a war between two people!
