The Basketball Court Swordsman

Christine Ledlow was sitting in the taxi, anxious. Indianapolis rarely has traffic jams, but today there is a long line of roads to the Bankers’ Life Arena.

There is no doubt that since Henson Joe announced yesterday that next season will be his last season, basketball reporters from all over the world have come here.

One of the greatest basketball coaches in history is about to retire for the second time. Isn't this attractive enough?

Yesterday, after Henson released the news, he confirmed the matter in the media reception room of the Banker's Life Arena.

"Yes, next season will be my last season. From now on, I want to put the focus of my life on family. I thank all the fans in Indianapolis and hope that everyone can continue to support me in the final season. Team."

In the face of reporters, Henson spoke lightly, but the reporters exploded.

The news of Henson Joe’s confirmation of his retirement immediately spread all over the world, so today, the Banker’s Life Arena was instantly surrounded by reporters.

"Miss, I remember that you did an interview with Henson?" Just as Lederlow recalled the passing of this "emergency", the taxi driver suddenly spoke.

"Well, but that was... many years ago, right." Ledlow smiled and shook his head, saying that he and Henson are old acquaintances.

Christine Ledlow will never forget the day when she first went to the game as an intern reporter to do an interview. She originally wanted to interview George Carl, but she was afraid of being made things difficult by the bad-tempered old man. Ever since, she was the first to find the coach who was also a rookie.

Had it not been for Henson's encouragement at the time, Lederlow thought he might have completely messed up the first interview. It can be said that the success of Christine Lederlow is inseparable from Henson.

Over the years, Christine with a nice face has stopped being a sideline reporter, but hosted a show called "Slam Dunk" on NBATV with legendary star Grant Hill. Gradually, Ledlow became the goddess in the hearts of major basketball enthusiasts, and was also named one of the top ten hottest female journalists in the United States.

So many years have passed in a flash, and because of not being a sideline reporter, she may not have contacted Henson for a long time. Unexpectedly, seeing each other again is actually a goodbye...

"What kind of person do you think Coach Henson is? You have a lot of contact with him in private, you should know better." The driver continued to ask.

"What kind of person is Henson Joe..."

Ledlow thought about it seriously. Sometimes, he was a swearing bastard. He blatantly scolded reporters at press conferences for sick things, which is still one of the black spots in Henson's career. It's like, someone always jumps out and says what Kobe is.

He is despicable, shameless, and unscrupulous. It seemed that he was a real villain.

But sometimes, Henson is very gentle with reporters. For example, he would go to Sag’s grave regularly, and for example, he would agree to his request for an interview.

Sometimes Henson would yell at his opponent.

But it can also be seen that Henson absolutely respects his opponent.

Sometimes, he is as fierce as a beast.

Sometimes, he is as gentle as a real gentleman.

So, what kind of person is Henson Joe? Ledlow suddenly found that he could not give an answer.

"He is not a perfect person."

In the end, Lederlow could only answer the driver like this. But sometimes, those imperfections are precisely the charm of Henson Joe.

On the training ground, Antetokounmpo is following Nash to learn how to read the game, how to pass the ball, how to control the ball... The 2.11 meter tall Greek who was so stupid to run to the training ground, learned Pretty serious. There was no slightest dissatisfaction with Henson letting him play the number one position.

Because Antetokounmpo is very clear, listening to Henson, must be right.

In addition to Antetokounmpo, everyone on the training ground also worked very hard. Even Stephenson, who showed up in the training camp with a big belly, began to work hard to recover his body in the strength room.

Seeing the players training seriously, Henson was very pleased. He knew that this was the way these boys gave back to themselves.

Yesterday, when I heard that Henson was about to retire, the Pacers players collectively asked Henson to stay in the locker room.

Antetokounmpo and George, the veteran Pacers trained by Henson, almost couldn't help crying.

To be honest, even Henson almost didn't get stretched looking at the players. These players, after all, are players who have experienced ups and downs with him. This locker room, after all, has been underestimated and peaked with him.

Now to talk about leaving, Henson is more reluctant than everyone else.

But a person's life must go forward, and a person cannot stay in one place all his life.

Therefore, Henson told everyone, "If you are really unwilling, then don't let me regret the last year of my career. I know that our opponents are very strong this season. The outside world says that the Pacers His rule will be shattered. Use your actions to tell him that our rule has just begun!"

As a result, the players wiped away the tears and turned them into sweat.

So today, everyone on the training ground is playing very seriously. As for the two new members of Ross and Rondo, although they have no personal feelings for Henson. But everyone is so serious, they will naturally be driven.

The Pacers’ attitude in the training camp made Henson extremely satisfied. The guys did not slacken off because they just won two consecutive championships, they were not overwhelmed by the departure of their big brother Paul, and they were not at all affected by Henson’s impending retirement. Become depressed.

They are united, and are doing the most adequate preparation for the strongest opponent. They are bound to draw a perfect end to Henson's career.

Just as the players were sweating, Bird walked to Henson's side.

"The reporters outside have been surrounded by water, so you can deal with it."

Henson nodded, then turned and left the training ground. Can you be reported by so many people, is your career a success?

When Christine Ledlow saw the Chinese coach with his own eyes again, he was a little less frivolous and more stable.

Also, next month, Henson will be 39 years old. How can a person who is almost 40 years old be like a child?

Henson seemed to see Ledro in the crowd, and then nodded at her slightly. Ledlow also responded with a smile. Henson has indeed changed a lot over the years, but one thing has not changed.

He is still an attractive man.

Thinking of this, Lederlow blushed slightly.

"Coach Henson, this time you will come back just like the first time you retire?"

"Coach Henson, do you think your team can defeat the Five-Star Warriors?"

"Why are you retiring? Because your opponents are too strong, you want to retire quickly?"

The reporters asked questions in an disorderly manner, which made Henson uninterested. These reporters will always be the same, buzzing like a bunch of flies.

"Coach Henson, what are your plans after retiring?"

Finally, in the crowd, Henson heard a question that was worth answering. Sure enough, it was Christine Lederlow who raised his hand to ask questions.

"I want to fight for the happiness of my wife and my daughter. This is what I will do in the future. Of course, I will not forget the friends who have helped me in my career."

I haven't seen each other for many years, and the Q&A between Henson and Lederlow is still tacit understanding.

Now, Ledro suddenly had an answer in his heart.

For the team, Henson is willing to do his best, even if he almost loses his life. For the sake of friends, Henson is willing to sacrifice his precious time, even if his friend is just an unknown trainee reporter. Even his friends are already in heaven. Even his friends, even his opponents.

But for the sake of his family, he is willing to give up everything he has. The lofty status, the highest annual salary among the league coaches, and the glory of each...all of these, he doesn't need it.

So, what kind of person is Henson? If there is a chance, Lederlow will answer.

"He is a person who is willing to take responsibility for the things he loves and the people he loves. He is a person worthy of admiration. Bastard? Villain? That's just one of his ways of acting responsibly."

Ledlow prayed silently in his heart, I hope such a guy can have a perfect curtain call.
