The Basketball Court Swordsman

Jim O'Brien, he is definitely one of the representatives of the older generation of coaches. Before entering the NBA, O'Brien had been in college for many years and accumulated a good reputation.

In 1989, this man officially entered the NBA and started working as an assistant coach for the New York Knicks. For the next seven years, he served as an assistant coach for the Boston Celtics with a rich history.

Finally in 2001, Jim O'Brien got out of his head. He defeated Pitino, a famous coach in college basketball, and became the 13th head coach in the history of the Celtics.

Since then, Jim O'Brien's career has taken off. After three years as the head coach of the Celtics, O'Brien joined the 76ers. Then, he drifted to the Indiana Pacers.

In Indianapolis, Jim O'Brien met the Chinese man. At the time, he did not expect that his career as a coach would end here.

In fact, Jim O'Brien was fired and he did not blame Henson. Because even without Henson, Bird would let O'Brien dismiss get out of class. After all, his team performance did not meet expectations. His training of new players also made Bird not satisfied.

Therefore, Henson is only a catalyst to accelerate O'Brien's dismissal, but it is not the main ingredient.

But this time, Jim O'Brien suddenly broke out because he thought he was not respected.

A few days ago, in a game between the Pacers and the 76ers. People are talking about Henson Joe and Embiid, but few people find that the former coach of the Pacers is sitting on the bench of the 76ers at this time!

In August of this year, the 76ers have officially opened a contract to O'Brien and invited him back again. Of course, O'Brien is just an assistant coach.

He thought he would be welcomed when he returned to Indianapolis. He thought that Bird and Henson would at least hug themselves. He thought that at least some people in that place would remember themselves.

The results of it? He turned out to be like a transparent person. The 76ers battled the Pacers in 5 days, but no one mentioned his name.

As an old coach, as a veteran coach who was once brilliant. Such treatment makes Jim O'Brien feel unfair and disrespectful.

He believes that Henson, a half-hearted man, can succeed, and it is inseparable from his own cultivation. Although the two were not happy to get along, but if they meet again, somehow they should say hello.

But Henson did not, nor did Bird...So O'Brien, who felt that he had been humiliated, expressed his dissatisfaction in a very extreme way.

He really hopes Henson will also experience what it feels like to be defeated and ignored by his former assistant coach! So now, he is extremely eager to hope that Stevens can teach Henson some lessons!

"Uh...I really didn't notice that he was on the bench. I was already busy this summer and didn't pay attention to his news at all. After all, he has been out of the league for several years. Who knows, the 76ers He would actually invite him back as an assistant coach." In Bird's office, Henson tilted his head.

Originally, hiring a former head coach to be an assistant coach was very strange. Who would have thought that the 76ers could really do it.

"Yeah, I also knew that he was in the 76ers coaching staff... But to be honest, this guy is really not authentic. What is his name? Take a bite." Birdnard In the "Indianapolis Post" at hand, the front page of the newspaper is the news that O'Brien scolds Henson.

"But, why were you so excited yesterday? Embiid said that about you before, you endured it for so long. But when you heard O'Brien yesterday, you just went back. It's not like you, Henson. "

"Embid has some strength anyway, but Jim... I really don't know what he has the qualifications to point me at me. Think about Bird, who was riding on his head by someone much weaker than you. Do you still treat him kindly?" Henson's rhetorical question made Bird understand his mood instantly.

"If there is such a person, I will not treat him gently, I will ignore him directly. Because the more you respond to him, the more you will find his presence."

"That's right, Bird," Henson nodded, "I figured it out later, so since yesterday, I haven't commented on this matter. Jim O'Brien, it's not worth it. Let me comment. I am more worried about Stevens than O'Brien."

"Don't worry, Stevens has a much better character than Jim." Bird smiled slightly. If it weren't for Henson, Bird would have thought of Stevens.

"It's not about personality issues, Bird. Stevens and his Celtics, what worries me is more about the basketball level... I can't be killed by Jim Ou tonight. The clown interfered with Brian. Playing against Stevens requires full attention." Henson looked at his watch, and the chat time with Bird was over.

Whether Henson can start his trip to Salt Lake City with a happy mood depends on tonight.

"...Today's focus battle is undoubtedly the duel between the Pacers and the Celtics, the two Eastern powerhouses! Both teams have good strength, the Celtics Although the team's lineup tends to be civilians, Coach Stevens can play the full potential of this lineup. Naturally, the Pacers needless to say, everyone who despised them has already died."

One hour before the start of the game, eSPN has already started a preview feature of the game. As a TV station, what they do best is to find the **** of the fans, and then stimulate the interest of the fans to the greatest extent, so as to increase their ratings.

Regarding this game, in addition to the game itself, the fans’ g-spots are naturally the grievances between Henson and Jim O’Brien.

So in today's program, eSPN specially invited Jim O'Brien to participate in this special program.

Sure enough, when the show host announced that O'Brien was the special guest of today's show, eSPN's ratings instantly began to skyrocket.

And O'Brien also got a chance to show his face under high-profile circumstances. It can be said that both parties have achieved a win-win result.

"Coach Jim O'Brien, why do you think the Celtics have a better chance of winning? Pacers and Celtics, you have coached both teams. About these two teams you have What kind of unknown internal news can you share with everyone?"

"Pop!" Just as Jim O'Brien was about to speak, the TV suddenly went out.

Becky Harmon, who was watching TV, turned his head in surprise and found that it was Henson who had turned off the TV.

"Watch these boring shows less, Becky. I need you to keep your head clear. Today's game will definitely be a cruel brain competition." Henson smiled and threw the TV remote into the coaching staff office. On the sofa.

"Don't worry, Henson, I'm just killing the time. Watching this kind of'boring' show is most helpful to help your brain relax. Guess, what will Jim say? How will he analyze the probability that you will fail? ?"

"He analyzes a fart, if his tactical analysis is accurate, he won't be reduced to an unknown assistant coach now. Isn't this guy just eager to get attention and attention? I don't mind him using me and the team as him A springboard to fame. Because when we win the game, all springboards will collapse instantly."

"In front of the enemy, you are always so confident." Becky Harmon smiled, and Henson seemed to be able to deal with any problems calmly.

"The enemy? Jim O'Brien is not my enemy yet, Becky. Alright, it's time to go to the locker room for the final deployment. Remember what I said, Becky. For today's game, the head must be Stay awake at all times. Don't fall into the other party's rhythm."

Henson's statement that O'Brien is not his enemy is not ironic but a statement of facts. An hour later, Henson finally ran into his real enemy on the floor of the Bankers' Life Arena, and of course his real friend-Brad Stevens.

"Henson, I'm so glad to see you back! The league has become a lot boring without you. How well are you still adapting to your current job? How about An Jiali and Emily? They are all okay. Wait busy After this period, I have to visit your house myself!"

As soon as they met, the two embraced enthusiastically. Jim O'Brien, who was sitting in the eSPN studio, was very uncomfortable seeing this scene.

People who are truly worthy of respect can be respected by others even without deliberate reminders. It was also the relationship between the assistant coach and the head coach. The feelings between Henson and Stevens made O'Brien extremely envious.

"Everything is fine, Brad, thank you for your concern. I heard that you have tuned the Celtics very well now." Henson said, looking over Stevens's shoulder and falling to another. A group of players wearing green training uniforms in one half.

"Compared with the previous Pacers, it's still a lot worse, but we still have a strong competitiveness. Don't take it lightly. Henson, today my goal is to win."

"Cut, is there any coach whose goal is to lose?"

"You have changed a lot, Henson. But in some ways, you have not changed at all." Stevens looked into Henson's eyes meaningfully.

"My desire for victory will never change. In the past, it was the two of us who went to victory together. But tonight, only one person can leave the Bankers Life Arena alive. Come on, man."

After Henson patted Stevens on the shoulder, the two turned around and walked towards different halftimes.

"Coach Jim O'Brien, what do you think of the relationship between Henson and Stevens?" In the eSPN live room, the host continued to chat with the special guest O'Brien.

"I envy them." Jim O'Brien answered silently in his heart, but didn't say anything...
