Eat three meals a day normally, go to bed early at night, and sleep for eight or nine hours before waking up.

It must be admitted that it has been a long time since Henson has lived such a regular life. Under the normal schedule and hospital treatment, Henson's condition is also improving step by step. Now just from the outside, Henson is much more energetic.

The Chinese coach felt that there was no problem with him and that he could be discharged from the hospital immediately. But his attending physician, Kenny. Moss strongly disagreed, and he thought that Henson should continue to stay in the hospital for observation, after all, it had been less than a month since Henson was hospitalized.

And during this time, both the doctor and Angeli banned Henson from watching any news and news related to the Pacers.

The reason is simple, Henson will be worried when he sees the news about the Pacers, and he will worry about the team when he is worried. And that state is definitely not conducive to Henson's recovery.

"Avoid getting emotional, avoid overwork...... You're on vacation as if you're on vacation, so leave your team alone for now. Today, when Henson again asked to watch sports news, Dr. Moss was unsparing in turning down the poor Chinese manager.

"Please, doctor, I'm not a kid and I know how to manage my emotions. Just tell me, how are the Pacers doing now? Are there any injuries? By the way, tell Vogel that he should not forget to give Antetokounmpo shooting drills, and ......"

Henson said halfway through when he suddenly stopped. Yes, when it comes to basketball, where is there no one who doesn't worry about it...... A lot of things suddenly came to his mind.

"You see, even adults can't manage their emotions effectively. So, rest assured, Henson. You can check out "Tom and Jerry", which will help you relax. ”

"I've been watching 'Cat and Mouse' for a week...... Henson suddenly reacted that Americans don't care about the cartoon called 'Cat and Mouse'...... I've been watching "Tom and Jerry" for a week. ”

Looking at the wry smile of the coach who scared the whole league, the doctor shook his head, "Then let's watch SpongeBob SquarePants instead." ”

Of course, there are also many people who are concerned about Henson's situation during this time. Stevens, who coaches in Boston, is naturally Henson's "regular", he comes every three days, but he also doesn't talk to Henson about anything NBA-related.

The players of the team entrusted Paul. George and Leonard came and sent flowers and all the other blessings. But as always, in order to prevent Henson from getting emotional, neither of them has talked about the recent situation of the team. Henson didn't ask either, because he knew that it would be in vain to ask now, and the guys wouldn't say a word.

Anyway, if you can catch the playoffs, you shouldn't have too many problems with the team in the regular season this season.

And those who are not in the local area and can't come in time have called or texted to say hello. This includes a lot of managers from other teams.

No matter how hard I fought on the court before, how fierce the war of words was. At this time, those things will be forgotten.

In the past, he had always thought that his foul mouth and personality had allowed him to offend everyone in the alliance who could offend him. Now that I'm like this, those guys should be smiling from ear to ear.

It's just that I didn't expect these people to still care about their bodies, whether it was sincere concern or false concern, which gave Henson a little sense of accomplishment in his heart. Because this proves that he Henson. Joe still has a lot of status in the league.

As soon as he was in a good mood, Henson's heart began to become more and more normal and healthy. The smile on Dr. Moss's face grew, and Angeli was no longer afraid.

Henson also found that once he really let go of everything, the speed of recovery from the disease was indeed very gratifying.

Let the busy people go to work, Henson just wants to enjoy this moment of peace alone now.

There's no pressure to win or lose, no media saliva, no need to worry about Stephenson calling himself in the police station one day, no need to monitor Antetokounmpo's growth every day, no need to research his next opponent......

Many, many things, Henson stared at the ceiling and asked himself, have you really let go? And the thing that An Jiali mentioned to herself, was it really decided like this?

A month and a half after Henson's hospitalization, Larry. Bird and the Fellows executives came to Boston to visit Henson again.

Originally, the Pacers wanted to take Henson to Indianapolis for further treatment, but Dr. Moss rejected the plan for fear of an accident during the trip.

You can transfer to a hospital, but you can't do it until two months have passed, and you've determined that Henson is physically fit to handle a long-haul flight.

So until now, anyone who wanted to come and see him had to rush to Boston.

"Henson, you look a little more energetic." This time, when Bird walked into the room, Henson was no longer in the hospital bed.

The Chinese coach stood by the window of the hospital room, looking at the scenery below. That mysterious and calm temperament has begun to recover in Henson.

"Sit down, guys, I think I'll be back soon." Henson smiled at everyone, and Bird was accompanied by Stephen and Vivek in addition to Pritchard, the vice president of basketball operations.

"No, you don't have to come back, Frank did a good job as head coach and you're fired, Henson." Bird and Henson had a joke.

"Frank, how is he doing? Is everything in order for the team now? ”

As soon as Henson finished asking, he saw Angeli glaring at him. So the Chinese coach immediately waved his hand, "Forget it, that's your business." ”

After that, Henson didn't ask anything about basketball.

In the afternoon, when it was almost time for everyone to leave, Henson grabbed Bird by the shoulder and said he wanted to talk to him alone.

At first, Bird thought Henson was joking, but the serious gaze of the Chinese coach made Bird serious as well.

So, when Pritchard, Vivek, and Stephen all walked out of the room, Bird still didn't leave.

"Tell me, what's the matter?"

Henson glanced at Angari and then at Bird, as if it would take a lot of courage to speak.

"I want to finish the season...... He resigned voluntarily. Taking a deep breath, Henson finally spoke.

He kept his promise and agreed to Angeli's request. But Angeli also made a concession and let Henson coach the season.

After all, this is a season in which the Pacers can win three consecutive championships and create a dynasty! If Henson misses the opportunity to establish a dynasty like this, he will not be willing to do so for the rest of his life.

"Huh?" Bird was stunned, and there was rarely such a surprised expression on the face of the "Forcing King".

"At the end of this season, no matter what the result is, I will voluntarily resign. Angarie worries about my heart, and to be honest, I'm worried too. And it is very clear in the contract that if I resign voluntarily, you will not have to pay me for the next few years. That's what I want to say to you, Bird. This season...... It's my last season. I'm going to ...... I'm going to retire. ”

Bird didn't gnaw for a long time, because he found himself speechless.

If the message is put out, says Henson. Joe is going to retire after this season, and the whole league will explode!

After all, he is the most dazzling head coach in the second decade of the 21st century, and there is no one!

"Do you want to make it public?" After a few minutes, Bird seemed to come to his senses before he spoke.

"If it were to be made public, I wouldn't be talking about it alone with you. Don't tell anyone, neither the top nor the players. Only the three of us know about this. When the time is right...... I will tell everyone personally. ”

Henson looked at Angeli and took her hand. In this world, there are always things that are more important than basketball.

"I see, Henson. I am sure that all those who love you will support your decision. But if you want to come back someday...... The door to the Pacers is always open to you. ”

"Thank you, Bird."

"It's me who should thank you, Henson."

After Bird went out, Angeli and Henson looked at each other. Angeli stroked Henson's chest, the heart in his chest was a ticking time bomb.

"Now," Henson hugged Angeli and buried his head in her hair, "it's time for us to think about getting married." ”

"Henson?"

"Huh?"

"Thank you for choosing to spend the rest of your life with me, I ......"

Henson smiled, "Why today, everyone likes to say thank you." ”
