The Basketball Court Swordsman

At the end of November, Henson was admitted to the hospital, and in the blink of an eye, it was Christmas and New Year's Day.

There is no doubt that Henson and An Jiali also spent Christmas and New Year's Day in the hospital. But what is more warm is that the medical staff treat them very well. The Stevens family also came to the hospital to accompany Henson on Christmas Day, so the Christmas and New Year's Day spent in the hospital were not miserable.

In this way, Henson and An Jiali spent 2013 cuddling with each other and ushered in the winter of 2014.

It was not until the beginning of January that Henson finally got Dr. Moss' approval to return to Indianapolis.

The results of the physical examination showed that Henson's heart was out of danger, at least enough to cope with long-distance travel.

"I think you can return to your normal life, Henson." At the last medical examination, Moss looked very happy. Winning can give a team coach a sense of accomplishment, while curing a patient can give a doctor a sense of accomplishment.

"You mean, I can start working!?" Henson was a little excited. He had been in the hospital for a month and a half, and Henson was almost suffocated.

"Of course not, your heart is still a while away from work. Just like before the game and training, you have to ask the players to warm up. From now until you come back, you have to warm up your heart. "

"I have to say, Dr. Moss, your analogy is always very vivid." Hearing the doctor's comparison of this with warming up, Henson easily understood its importance.

"Then, I won't say goodbye to you, Coach Henson. Hopefully, I won't see you in the hospital for the rest of my life. Of course, if you can meet me in private, I will be very happy."

"Don't worry, Mr. Moss, my heart won't have any more problems, I won't be in this life." Henson remembered the agreement between himself and An Jiali, yeah, not in this life... ...

When the news of Henson's imminent discharge from the hospital was announced, the entrance to Maguire Hospital, which had been gradually deserted, was again filled with reporters.

After all, this is the first time Henson has appeared in public since he was admitted to the hospital. The reporters held back for a month, there were a lot of questions to ask him, and the fans also wanted to see, the current Henson Joe is one. What does it look like? It is conceivable that on the day Henson was discharged from the hospital, what was the sight at the hospital entrance.

The hospital was surrounded by huge crowds. The local government in Boston had to deploy more police to barely maintain the normal operation and order of the hospital.

But crouched all day, Henson never showed up from start to finish. The reporters looked at each other. Could Henson Joe become invisible? Otherwise, it is impossible for a big living person to disappear out of thin air in front of so many reporters and cameras.

In fact, Henson had already arrived in Indianapolis a day earlier. In order not to cause trouble to Henson and the hospital, the two sides hit it off and told a kind lie.

He was quietly discharged from the hospital 24 hours before the time of discharge announced by the hospital. So when the reporters squatted at the entrance of the hospital, the Chinese coach had already arrived in Indianapolis.

After returning to Indianapolis, Henson did not enter the hospital or return to the arena, but went straight back to the small villa in Carmel District.

The environment there is comfortable and very quiet, which is very suitable for Henson's cultivation. Moss also said that Henson doesn't need to be hospitalized anymore, as long as he rests well.

So the Pacers directly sent a personal doctor named Johnny Mars to go home with Henson.

Mars will be solely responsible for health issues during Henson's training.

However, life after returning home is not much better than Henson expected.

The family did not buy any newspapers related to sports, and An Jiali did not even let Henson use her mobile phone to access the Internet. Only when there was a call or text message, An Jiali would give her mobile phone to Henson.

The TV at home never changed to a sports channel. During this time, Henson watched either "Tom and Jerry" or "SpongeBob SquarePants" the most...

Even if there are players visiting, they are determined not to mention basketball. Everyone, including the Pacers’ current acting head coach Frank Vogel, said: “We will wait for you to come back.”

Of course, the days of "warming up" are more than that. Henson had to exercise for half an hour every day, no alcohol and no cigars. Go to bed and get up early every day, and develop an extremely regular schedule...

Sometimes Henson feels quite ironic. He has the ability to let players avoid injuries, but he can't do anything about his body. He can only let time fill everything.

On such peaceful days, Dr. Johnny Mars would accompany Henson to the hospital for review every other week.

The personal doctor also found that every time he went out, when Henson saw a huge advertisement for pedestrians on tall buildings, he would be particularly yearning and obsessed.

Presumably, Mr. Coach, he can't wait to return. But Mars confirmed that the day of Henson's return is getting closer. Because every physical examination result suggests that Henson's body is getting better and better.

In a blink of an eye, time has come to mid-February. In other words, three months have passed, and Henson's expected comeback is almost here.

After this physical examination, Henson could obviously see that the doctors nodded in satisfaction. Sure enough, Johnny told Henson happily after receiving the inspection report.

"Congratulations to your coach, if you want to, you can come back after the All-Star Game. Your heart is relatively healthy now, and normal intensity work shouldn't cause you trouble."

Henson laughed. This was the happiest smile on Henson's face in the past three months.

She suddenly realized that basketball seems to be more than just a job for this man.

"Only work of normal intensity...Yes, but that's not bad. At least, I can know where the Pacers are in the East."

"You really don't know anything about it?" Johnny asked in disbelief. He wondered if Henson was still paying attention to basketball news secretly.

"Where can I know? From "SpongeBob SquarePants"? Ask the magic conch? Since I said I want to take a good rest, I will naturally cooperate with all my strength." Henson spread his hand.

???? "Hey, but that's okay. It's better to understand the Pacers for more than half of the season than to hear them accurately."

"Yeah, understand the situation yourself..." Henson mumbled. When he was finally able to care about the team and the game, he became nervous.

It is very stressful to suddenly face a matter that has not been paid attention to for a long time and is closely related to oneself.

He is afraid that if there is any major change in the team, he will not be able to bear it.

After returning home, An Jiali handed over the phone and computer to Henson for the first time.

Henson hesitated for a while, and finally turned on the computer, and directly from the day he was hospitalized, he studied the situation of the Pacers!

From November 22nd to February 13th, Henson knew about the big and small affairs of the season.

Watching those basketball news, sometimes Henson smiled with joy, and sometimes Henson frowned nervously. Because from these news, Henson can see both good news and bad news.

He knew that Derrick Rose, who had finally recovered his self-confidence, was injured again, which meant that the Rose of Windy City might have completely fallen.

He knew that Paul George really lived up to expectations and has become one of the best players in the league today. This can be proven from his entry into the Eastern Conference All-Star starting lineup.

And Chris Paul also lost the All-Star starting lineup for the first time after entering the East. The popular Kelly Irving replaced it, which indicates that the younger generation has begun to rise in the league.

Not only in the East, but in the West, Stephen Curry has also become an All-Star starting point guard. I am afraid that the alliance structure will change again because of the rise of these little guys.

Unfortunately, Jimmy Butler, Leonard and Stephenson still failed to make the All-Star team. And because of Henson's hospitalization, Heat coach Spoelstra broke Henson's dominance of the All-Star position and became the head coach of the Eastern Stars.

Of course, what Henson is most concerned about is the current Pacers' performance. So, he checked on the Pacers' official website. By the end of the All-Star Game, the Pacers had just lost to the Mavericks 73-81. So far, the Pacers' record is 42 wins and 9 losses, still ranked first in the East.

This makes Henson very pleased. After all, the depth of the Pacers lineup is there, and Vogel and Becky Harmon are also outstanding people. Therefore, the walkers will not fall too much.

42 wins and 9 losses, is this outstanding result? Undoubtedly outstanding.

But compared with 72 wins last season, it seems not so good. You know, the Pacers have almost the same lineup this season, but their results are much worse than last season.

Last season, the Pacers had 72 wins while playing leisurely. Only half of this season, the Pacers have lost 9 games.

The most terrible thing, and what worries Henson the most, is that Leonard suffered an injury in early February, and it was not a minor injury.

Henson didn't know whether the badge had any effect after he left. But based on Leonard's injury judgment, the badge effect should have disappeared during his absence. Otherwise, Leonard could not have suffered such a serious injury.

A displaced fracture of the right ring finger was claimed by doctors as a rare injury condition for 40 years. The latest news released by Vogel is, "I don't know when Leonard will come back, he is currently in an indefinite injury state."

Although still No. 1 in the East, there is no doubt that the Pacers are in trouble.

The Heat declared that they will regain the top spot in the East. Countless media said that the Pacers' winning streak and 73 wins declared before this season are all jokes.

Looking at these reports, Henson joked. It seems that during the time when I disappeared, opponents and the media were very rampant!

After learning about the Pacers for most of the season, Henson picked up his cell phone and dialed Bird's number.

"I'm going to hold a press conference at the Banker's Life Arena to tell everyone that Henson Joe is back!"

As always, Henson didn't say a word of unnecessary nonsense.
