The Basketball Court Swordsman

NBA championship, this is the pursuit of many people's life. Although every year, dozens of people have the opportunity to get the championship honor. But looking at the entire NBA history, there are countless great people who have never won a championship in their careers.

Among them, the most famous are undoubtedly the former "Utah Shuangsha" Karl Malone and John Stockton. The two had great career results in the 1990s, but they could only be crushed by Jordan. The champion missed.

The Jazz legend coaching them, now suffering from Alzheimer's, Jerry Sloan, as one of the greatest coaches in NBA history, has never had his own championship ring.

There are many great players or coaches similar to them, George Carr, Allen Iverson, Tracy McGrady, Yao Ming... For many people, they can win a championship in a lifetime. It was already extremely satisfied.

However, Henson Joe, who didn't know what he should do ten years ago, entered the NBA through a college professor's introduction, but got his fourth championship ring this summer!

Four times to win the championship, Henson also tied Popovich, and his father together became the league's current coaches who have won the most championships.

But you have to know that Popovich has been coaching the Spurs for 21 years. And Henson coached the Pacers, not counting the two years of retirement, but only the fifth year...

The next day, Henson woke up in a messy hotel room. Staring at the white ceiling, Henson felt a sting in his head. There is no doubt that everyone was drunk last night.

After splashing champagne in the locker room, Henson took everyone to a local nightclub in Oakland for a party. This was his promise to the players.

Compared to San Antonio, where it won the championship a few years ago, the nightclubs in the Bay Area are very colorful. San Antonio, like the Spurs, is a slightly rigid city. The Bay Area is more like the Golden State Warriors. The city is full of vitality even in the middle of the night.

The last thing Henson remembered was that he was helped by George into the taxi, and then Stephenson took the two women back to the room.

But Henson did not stop Stephenson this time. The season is over. Why not let the players indulge for a few days?

It's just that Henson was very puzzled by Stephenson's act of taking two people every time...

This guy hardly played during the finals. Is it possible to vent his energy in this area?

Henson smiled and shook his head, sat up from the bed, and suddenly felt dizzy.

But soon, Henson regained consciousness. Because the golden O'Brien Cup is now on Henson's bedside table.

Henson picked up the trophy and looked at it, the cold surface immediately made Henson refreshed.

He looked at the base of the trophy, which read "2016-2017 World Champion".

The world champion... Henson smiled and opened the curtains, looking at the sunny sky of Auckland. For the past two years, Henson dreamed of coming back to win another championship. And now, dreams have become reality.

World champions, they are world champions again. And there is no doubt that this created the most basic conditions for the opening of another dynasty.

When the Pacers woke up and went to the hotel restaurant to dine, it was already lunch time. The players looked very tired. The guy Stephenson was still holding the sides of his waist while walking. God knows how much he made yesterday.

The players talked and laughed, obviously still not enough about yesterday's carnival. But as long as he saw Henson, he nodded respectfully, and then shouted: "Boss."

Henson also smiled and responded to everyone. Because yesterday, I really didn't have any appetite, and didn't want to eat the big fish and meat, Henson took a bowl of vegetable salad and sat beside Nash.

"It seems that you had a great time last night." Nash looked at Henson who was "desperate for life" and smiled gleefully.

"It's a pity that you didn't come, Steve. Yesterday..." Although it was very hilarious yesterday, Henson shook his head again when he thought of the uncomfortable feeling after he was over. "It is true that you did not come yesterday. select."

Last night's carnival, it is naturally impossible for everyone to participate. In fact, only Henson in the coaching staff joined the carnival, and the others returned to the hotel after the championship ceremony.

After all, there is a big generation gap between McMillan and the players, and Becky Harmon can't be hilarious among men. Fraser and Nash, really don't like that kind of too noisy occasions.

However, looking at the entire league, the coach who can go to clubbing with the players after winning the championship may be Henson.

If Popovich did the same, the Spurs team doctor would announce the next day that Popovich will miss next season's training camp due to injury...

So, Henson is a different coach no matter on the court or off the court.

"Henson, you should be careful about your body. After all, this place almost killed you before." Nash said, pointing to his heart.

"Don't worry Steve, it doesn't get in the way once in a while. Besides, I already have a health plan, hahahahaha."

"Health plan? Let's listen." Nash instantly became interested. After all, after he got older, Nash felt that his body became more and more unwell.

"Hey, nothing special. I just plan to retire at the age of 40 and no longer engage in this kind of high-intensity work. Turning work into a sideline and life into a main business, I think this is the most correct way to keep healthy. ."

Henson said, eating the vegetable salad lightly. And Nash beside him stared in surprise.

"What are you talking about!? Retired at 40?"

Can Nash not be surprised? As a professional player, Nash has reached the age of 40. As a head coach, for most people at 40 has not yet started. But what Henson was thinking about was his retirement at the age of 40!

If just a mediocre coach, it is not surprising that Henson will retire at the age of 30. Because there is no team to invite him, he can only choose to leave the industry. But this guy Henson just won a championship trophy yesterday!

"Yes," Henson was more relaxed than Nash's surprise. "Retired at 40 years old, completely retired. I want to dedicate the rest of my life to my family, Steve. This is what I did. When you choose to come back, you have already decided. Of course, only you know about this at the moment, so don't let the wind go."

Henson smiled quietly like a thief, Nash nodded and didn't ask more.

If Henson really wants to retire completely at the age of 40, then he will only have at most two seasons left to play. In these two seasons, will Henson let himself go home empty-handed?

With Henson's personality, it probably won't. The Golden State Warriors and the Cleveland Cavaliers, as well as all other teams that have ideas about a championship. In the next two years, there may be no harvest...

Because even if Henson wants to leave, he will go vigorously! For example, leave after opening a second dynasty...

In the afternoon, the Pacers chartered plane landed at Indianapolis International Airport. Just like a few years ago, Henson and his players were surrounded by reporters as soon as they got off the plane.

As Henson, who helped the Pacers win the championship upon his return, the limelight directly eclipsed Antetokounmpo, the FMVP winner.

Departing from the airport, the Pacers bus, led by the police, appeared in the Bankers' Life Arena in a mighty manner. Along the way, countless Pacers fans cheered for them.

The whole scene is already like a preview of the championship parade.

Finally, in accordance with the old habit, Henson took the players into the Pacers showroom holding the championship trophy.

Henson still remembers that when he first visited the showroom, there were very few exhibits in this room. Except for an Eastern Conference championship trophy, you can only make up some easy honors.

And now, there are already three golden O'Brien Cups. Now Henson has brought the fourth seat here!

"I will paint a huge portrait of you on a wall in the future, because you are one of the honors of the Pacers." Stephen Simon and Vivek, who were waiting in the showroom for a long time, rushed to hug Henson.

The honor showroom of the Indiana Pacers was brilliant because of Henson's appearance. At this point, even Bird is ashamed of it. He has brought many honors to the Boston Celtics, but he has never brought a championship to his hometown.

Henson did it.

"If you really want to do that, you'd better find a famous painter. I don't want to be painted too ugly by others." Henson made a joke, and then handed the championship trophy to the staff in the showroom.

After the staff cleans up the trophy, it will become a part of this room.

I don’t know when I am 40 years old, can I buy two more championship trophies here, and then become a part of the honor of the Pacers?

Except for Nash, Henson didn't tell anyone about his plan. But Henson felt that the title of "Indianapolis's basketball godfather" was quite a gimmick.

Become a legend before 40? Well, let's start with this championship and this year's draft!
