The Basketball Court Swordsman

At the end of the game, the ATT center has been occupied by the cheers of the Pacers fans. Although in the stands, blockbuster movies are all Spurs fans wearing white T-shirts, there are only a few Pacers fans wearing corn-yellow T-shirts. However, the dominant Spurs fans were collectively silent, and the ATT Center Rich became the home of the Pacers.

On the court, the players still surrounded Henson and hugged him one by one. And they were surrounded by reporters and cameras.

Under the camera record, the reporters found that many Pacers players had ruddy eyes. Even "villains" like Stephenson cried violently.

But the emergence of this situation does not make reporters surprised. After all, the Pacers have won three consecutive championships. In this world, how many players can achieve such an achievement as three consecutive championships? Players can't control their emotions, it is also human nature.

But the more filming, the more reporters felt that today's championship night was a bit unusual. The emotions of the players are a bit too agitated, and it seems that sadness is greater than happiness in their emotions.

In a short while, the on-site staff had already set up the temporary award platform. The golden O'Brien Cup has also been moved to the podium. The new NBA president Adam Xiao Hua took the stage with a professional smile, waiting for the Pacers players.

It stands to reason that players should now be excited to wear championship commemorative T-shirts and championship commemorative caps, and with the blessing of fans all over the world, rush to the podium to embrace their O'Brien Cup.

But Xiao Hua waited on the stage for several minutes, but the Pacers players still had no intention of going on stage to accept the award. They still surrounded Henson Joe, unwilling to leave. Adam Xiao Hua has always participated in so many championship award ceremonies and has never seen such a situation. He vaguely felt that something was wrong.

"Okay guys, put away your embarrassing tears. We are now the king of the world, and the entire league is under our control! Go on stage and take the O'Brien Cup home! We are the winners, and we have to leave gracefully. OK!" Henson said, looking around the players around him, but he couldn't hold it back.

Looking at these familiar faces, thousands of emotions poured into my heart instantly. Whether it is to Henson or the players, they mean too much to each other.

Chris Paul, the defender who suffered from injury at the beginning is thought to be the next star in the league. The season after the injury, he struggled with the Hornets. Both the record and personal data have fallen sharply. But something happened that season that he will never forget-he was killed by the Pacers.

Since then, this young Eastern Conference team has entered Paul's vision. In the summer of the next year, Paul officially met this man who changed his life. After being traded to the Pacers, Paul also began his championship journey, and his career and historical status have undergone a tremendous change.

Paul George, who was originally a thin player of the NCAA second-tier league team, never thought he could be selected in the lottery zone. For him, as long as the draft pick can make it to the first round, it is considered a victory.

However, the questioned man did another questionable thing, which was to use a tenth overall pick to pick himself off.

George still remembers the first day he entered the team, Henson told himself-you are going to be the team's top card.

At that time, George thought it was just an ordinary encouragement from a head coach to young players. But now, look at him, he is now the hottest star in the league. Naturally, it is also one of the Pacers' top cards.

Kavai Leonard, the only thing the silent man thought was to play basketball. He knows that many teams like him, but again, most of these teams are afraid to choose themselves. At this moment, the guy named Henson Joe plunged into his world.

He guides himself and helps himself. As long as each game is played according to Henson's plan, Leonard is always full of confidence. And he repaid the Chinese coach with tough defense and steady offense.

West and Horford, they were reborn under Henson. If there is no Henson, God knows whether Stephenson will now fight in a foreign league. Yi Jianlian was thinking that if he hadn't met this coach with the same skin color as himself and who speaks very good Chinese, his NBA career might have ended long ago. Danny Green is very thankful that Henson is willing to give himself a chance. Ray Allen feels that the two years in Indianapolis after leaving the Celtics have been the happiest two years of his career. Antetokounmpo thanked Henson for giving himself the opportunity to stand on the NBA stage...

Yes, the life and career trajectory of each of them has long since changed for each other. Now, this group of people who have changed each other's fate are suddenly separated, can they not be emotional?

"Go on stage, we should take home the O'Brien Cup! Wipe your tears away, and shame me one by one!" Henson said in his mouth, but his eyes were not full of tears. ......

In the end, the players walked onto the podium under Henson's leadership. Under normal circumstances, the head coach is standing at the end of the podium, this point, even the two great coaches Popovich and Phil Jackson can not change.

However, Henson stood in the front, the middle and the most eye-catching position. Moreover, it is in this position for the third consecutive year.

Adam Xiao Hua shook his head. He didn't expect that one day, he would personally hand over the O'Brien Cup to this Chinese coach.

Xiao Hua is different from Stern. He doesn't like to make long speeches in various ceremonies, but likes to go straight to the topic. Perhaps this is one of the few places Henson likes Xiao Hua.

After a few simple words, Xiao Hua raised the championship trophy and put it in Henson's hands. For three consecutive years, the Pacers' victory in the O'Brien Cup belongs to Henson Joe. Therefore, it is not surprising to see that the head coach first wins the O'Brien Cup.

Afterwards, the reporter on the podium handed over the microphone to Henson and asked him to say a few words.

Generally speaking, only two people can speak on the podium. One is the speech delivered by the team owner when winning the championship, and the other is the speech delivered by the FMVP winner. When the title was won, the head coach gave a speech. This kind of thing has never happened even in the Celtics controlled by Auerbach.

You know, the status of the "red head" Auerbach in the Celtics is the backbone of the existence. Even "Forcing the King" Bird had to be obedient in front of Auerbach. However, even if he is as great as him, he has never won such a honor.

Henson took the microphone, and before he could speak, the cheers from the stands flooded the audience.

Henson smiled slightly. Adam Xiao Hua dared to use his position as president to assure that this was the gentlest smile he had ever seen on Henson's face.

"Thanks, thank you for your support. Without your silent support behind the team, we would not have been here." Like most team owners' speeches, Henson first thanked the fans who came to join us. But after that, what Henson had to say was very unusual.

"At the same time, I also thank my boss, my colleagues, my players, and everyone who helped me win the O'Brien Cup for the third consecutive year. You guys, let my career no longer have regrets. So I Announced that after tonight’s game is over, I will officially retire. My body can no longer support this kind of work. I have done everything I can. I have brought a dynasty to Indianapolis. And now, I have quit. It's time. Henson Joe, quit."

Xiao Hua, who was applauding, suddenly solidified, even he couldn't hide the surprised look on his face. At the scene, almost everyone had this expression.

Fans, commentators, opposing players, reporters, Bill Russell...Each of them opened their eyes wide, and their mouths couldn't close together as if something was stuffed in. The audience was suddenly silent, terribly quiet. People are waiting for Henson to say that he is just joking. However, after waiting for a long time, Henson still did not speak.

Only then did people know that the Chinese coach was serious!

"Coach Henson Joe, suddenly announced that he had to retire for physical reasons...I think this is not just an example of a head coach."

Mike Bling paused, trying to calm his emotions and organize his language.

"This decision of Coach Henson will make the entire league lose a dazzling light. I think from now on, the NBA will never find a second one, who can be as popular and questioned as Coach Henson. In this way, the coach who can always win the victory in his pocket. He chose to quit at his peak moment. Only one left for the entire league..."

Mike Brin thought for a while and found that there is only one word that best describes the situation of this trip.

"There is only a legend left for the entire league that others will try desperately to catch up, but they can't catch up no matter how they are!"

Just as Mike Brin was speaking, the MVP's shout was heard throughout the ATT center. It turned out that it was Bill Silas who had awarded the FMVP trophy to Leonard, who performed perfectly in this series.

But Leonard did not speak, nor raised the trophy, but handed the trophy to Henson.

Henson was not polite, holding the O'Brien Cup with his left hand and the Bill Russell Finals Most Valuable Player trophy with his right hand. Suddenly, the shouts of the MVP came like a tsunami!

Even Popovich could not help applauding when he saw this scene. Yes, who else is more qualified to win this FMVP trophy?

Three consecutive championships, 16 wins and 0 losses, swept all opponents in the playoffs, 73 wins, 30 consecutive victories... The legendary season of Henson Joe finally ended. People don't want to guess how much vibration will happen to the basketball circle the next day.

At this time, they just want to enjoy it, the beauty of this legendary night...

The brightest light goes out when it is most dazzling, but no one will forget the light this lamp once brought.
