The Basketball Court Swordsman

In addition to inviting a few media friends, Henson did not specifically tell those media reporters that he was going to get married. But those reporters had their own means and channels to learn about it, so in the end, Henson was still unable to hide from others.

Sure enough, the day after Henson ran to the Banker’s Life Arena to send the invitation, news about him appeared in many American newspapers and media.

???? Just as An Jiali and Henson thought, the media were caught off guard by the sudden announcement of their marriage.

???? "Henson Joe seems to be going to walk into the church with Anjiali Ranadivi's hand. It is said that they invited many celebrities to the wedding. A head coach's wedding was like a star Coach Henson’s wedding may be the only one, right?"

???? "...I was surprised by the news, I couldn't believe that they could go to the end." A male star who has been eager to pursue An Jiali said sadly.

"Even a piece of news that has nothing to do with basketball can attract so much attention from the basketball circle. Coach Henson's enthusiasm does not seem to fade."

? An Jiali’s social media was deliberately attacked by an unidentified hacker after the news that he was about to get married. There is no doubt that An Jiali’s male fans must be very sad about this.

Yes, many people are especially jealous when they think that this goddess who can sing and dance will be pressured by the **** Henson Joe every day.

Since the matter of marriage was exposed by the media, Henson no longer hid. Anyway, everyone knows, what else is there to hide? As a result, Henson Joe, who had disappeared for more than half a year, returned to people's field of vision.

The reporters found that he and An Jiali were shopping in Indianapolis openly, holding hands, kissing, no one else, and they didn't mind the reporters who followed them.

It has been discovered that Henson has repeatedly appeared at the commercial launch of BodyArmor functional drinks, and he has become a business leader.

People also found that the posters that Henson shot for Gillette and Armani appeared more and more frequently. It seems that even after leaving basketball, the Chinese coach's life has been so colorful.

Of course, for Henson, who has brought incredible glory to the city, he has also received great tolerance and blessings from Indianapolis fans. So even if Henson and An Jiali are walking on the street, they don’t have to worry about being harassed by anyone except reporters.

In this new rhythm of life, Henson has gone through more than half a year. During this period, the NBA has undergone tremendous changes.

And Henson's attention to the NBA has actually never stopped.

This season, Mike Budenholzer's Atlanta Hawks have become a veritable "Eastern Spurs". After the Pacers and the Heat have ruled the East for so many years, the Hawks finally broke this convention and became the new Eastern Conference number one.

The new Big Three composed of James, Irving and Love did not disappoint Cleveland fans. After experiencing the early pains and running-in of the season, the Cavaliers ranked second in the Eastern Conference with 53 wins. Last season, the Cavaliers were a team that hit the top spot for the No. 1 pick, but this year, they have become the East's strong. I have to say that as long as it is a team with LeBron, it is always competitive.

On the western side, the most amazing thing is undoubtedly the Golden State Warriors. After Mark Jackson dismissed get out of class and Steve Kerr took over the team, he fully utilized the advantages of the Warriors.

This season, Cole almost gave up the inside offensive principle that Mark Jackson believed in, but greatly increased the proportion of Curry and Thompson's offensive shots. The two guards did not live up to Cole, using 44.3% and 43.9% of terrible three-pointers, respectively, to give back to Cole's adjustment. Curry and Thompson have also become one of the league's hottest stars.

At this time, only Vogel remembered what Henson said last year, "Thompson is simply a top off-ball attacker, even if he is not now, he will be at most a year later."

There is no doubt that Henson's words have been fulfilled.

As for the Pacers themselves, this season was not happy. This season, the Pacers can only rank behind the Hawks and Cavaliers, ranking third in the East with a record of 52 wins.

52 wins are naturally good enough, but you have to know that the Pacers achieved 72 wins and 73 wins respectively in the first two seasons! And this is the biggest difference between Vogel and Henson.

People's evaluation of Vogel is often "he did a good job." But absolutely no one would say, "He did a very, very good job."

What people want is a magical coach like Henson Joe, but Vogel can't meet this need.

In addition to Vogel's problem, the Pacers' turbulence and continuous injury problems are the main culprits that led to the unsatisfactory record.

Jimmy Butler has almost broken his face with the Pacers and it will be difficult for him to stay next season. Misfortunes never come singly, Leonard's uncle also said that if the Pacers can't offer a heart-wrenching price, then he and Leonard don't mind listening to other teams' offers.

The issue of staying and leaving between these two guys has been around for a whole season, which naturally has a bad influence on the locker room. But Paul and George have been playing and stopping. For these reasons, the Pacers only ranked third in the Eastern Conference this season without major changes in the lineup.

After the time entered April, Henson did not forget to watch the Pacers playoffs. Vogel did a good job, and he eventually led this less united and determined team to the Eastern Conference semifinals. It's just a pity that the Pacers met the Cavaliers led by James in the Eastern Conference semifinals ahead of time.

This time, LeBron James was not blocked by the Pacers again. After the first game of the Eastern Conference semifinals, Chris Paul suffered a knee injury and was reimbursed for the rest of the season. Without the effect of the badge, the Pacers' injury problems have destroyed their good situation more than once.

Without Paul, Vogel is not good at arranging offenses. Therefore, the Pacers' offense has become a mess. Jimmy Butler selfishly singles for a big contract, Leonard can't find his offensive position at all. James personally defended George, making it difficult for him to play his own state.

In the end, the Cleveland Cavaliers eliminated the Eastern Conference Pacers with a total score of 4 to 2. The Pacers' rule of the east ended here.

"The departure of Coach Henson heralds the complete collapse of the dynasty established by the Pacers! There has never been an evergreen tree in NBA history. The Pacers should give up the championship position to others." Reggie Miller said helplessly after the Cavaliers' sixth battle.

If so, who wouldn't want to see the Pacers continue to win?

At this point, the Pacers did not have Henson's first season, the Pacers' 14-15 season, officially ended.

Stopped in the Eastern Conference semifinals, this result is naturally unable to satisfy the Pacers fans.

But people don't know yet, the biggest surprise of the season is far from coming.

In early June, half a month before the wedding of Henson and An Jiali, the Cleveland Cavaliers and the young Golden State Warriors met in the Finals. People thought that James, who had not been suppressed by Henson and the Pacers, was finally about to get the first championship trophy of his career. People admit that the Warriors have great potential, but almost everyone agrees that the Warriors have not yet won the championship.

They are still too young and smart, just like the Thunder back then. They must pay some tuition in the finals to transform into a truly strong team.

However, the result of the game was that the Golden State Warriors defeated the Cavaliers with a total score of 4 to 2 and successfully won the first O'Brien Cup in team history! The biggest surprise of this series is that Steve Kerr took Henson's "Death Five" lineup to the extreme.

Kerr's five-small lineup is more pure than Henson's five-small lineup, because in his "death five", the tallest Draymond Green is just over 2 meters.

This five-small lineup also takes the characteristics of modern basketball's three-point shooting and fast-paced offense to the extreme. The eSPN commentator article stated: "The previous view was that shooting alone cannot win the game. But the Golden State Warriors used it. A voted championship has changed this fact! The era of three-pointers and small lineups has officially arrived!"

Yes, now, it is no longer Henson Joe's time.

Henson watched the entire finals as a fan. He must admit that Steve Kerr's courage and ability to command on the spot shocked him. After so many years, Henson finally felt that he had met Phil Jackson, Tom Thibodeau and Popovich, another opponent worth fighting against.

It's just a pity that the only thing he needs to worry about is his wedding. The fight with Steve Cole only exists in fantasy.

"Henson, are you still asleep?" After taking a bath, An Jiali saw Henson turned on the computer to study the video of the game and couldn't help asking curiously.

Next to Henson, she saw the Golden State Warriors on the computer screen and the No. 30 guard who always hit the magic three-pointer.

"Go to bed right away, just because I think they are a little funny." Henson smiled slightly and closed the laptop.

In fact, Henson was still thinking about things related to the Golden State Warriors. Because of their playing style, it is even possible to change the overall playing style and pattern of the league!

After entering the toilet and looking at himself in the mirror, Henson couldn't help splashing cold water on his face.

Can't believe it, after a whole year of pure heart. Own, because the Warriors won the magical championship, but also have such a strong interest in basketball games.

Shaking his head, Henson turned off the light in the toilet. Now, I should prepare for the wedding wholeheartedly instead of caring about basketball.

After all, you have retired, Henson Joe.
