The Celtics' game against the defending champion Pacers continues, but at this point, not many people are still focused on the game itself.

First, because with one minute left in the fourth quarter, the Celtics were already trailing by 13 points, and they basically had no chance of winning. The second is that people didn't see Chinese-American coach Henson on the Pacers' bench. Joe. There has always been a question in everyone's minds, what happened to Henson!

Earlier today, it was discovered that Henson did not arrive at the North Shore Garden Arena with the team. In this regard, Pacers acting head coach Frank Brown. Vogel's explanation was, "Coach Henson couldn't play because of his physical condition. ”

Physical factors, this seems to be a universal excuse. When any coach is absent from a game, he or she can prevaricate by using the word "physical factors".

But everyone knows that this time, Henson's absence due to physical factors is not an excuse. Because earlier, there was a revelation that Pacers coach Henson. Joe was taken by ambulance to a local hospital in Boston.

Therefore, the game was just an adjunct from the start. Most of the sports journalists have rushed to the hospital, not stayed on the court. There are not a few managers who leave due to physical reasons, but there are not many who are taken directly to the hospital by ambulance like Henson.

Stevens was equally uninterested in playing, and he was as concerned about Henson's situation as anyone else at this time. Although he was already a Celtic at this time, once the feelings and relationships between people were good enough to a certain extent, they would not be weakened by the change of work unit.

Finally, the electronic beep from the scene relieved Stevens. 97-82, the Pacers defeated the Celtics on the road, who are entering a rebuilding period. But not many people cared about this result, not even Stevens and Frank. Neither of Vogel's parties cared.

During the routine handshake between the two head coaches after the game, Stevens asked about Henson.

"What the hell is going on? I heard he was taken to the hospital by ambulance? Really fake!? Stevens' tone was tense.

"I don't know more than you do, Brad. This morning, Henson was found in his room lying on a table and fainting, so the team immediately rushed him to the hospital. You know, Henson used to say that he had chest tightness and dizziness, and I was afraid that something was wrong with his body. After I was taken to the hospital, I led the team to start preparing for the game, so I don't know exactly what the situation is. Don't waste time, Brad, let's go together. ”

Vogel also looked anxious and he wasn't going to be happy to get the head coach position for that reason.

At the same time, Spike. Lee discovers all the secrets in the camera. Henson had fainted in the middle of the night last night, and he was feeling tightness in his chest as always. But this time, the pain didn't go away, and Henson didn't get up from the table again.

In short, now, the eyes of the whole league are focused on Henson. Henson, on the other hand, had no idea about it.

※※※

"Henson, you're late!" An angry voice rang in his ears, waking him up from the chaos.

Henson raised his head and looked at the angry old man in front of him in confusion. He knew this man very well, but he couldn't remember his name for a while......

Wait, this isn't the Pacers' former assistant coach, Jim. One of O'Brien's right and left men, Posey?

Hey?

Henson doesn't know why he's here? Isn't he supposed to be studying the Celtics game footage in his hotel room? What about Vogel? And those players, where are they? What time is it and why is it so dark?

Henson's chest still ached, and he suddenly realized that it might all be his own dream.

It's a dream, NBA head coach, champion, model girlfriend, and tens of millions of annual salaries...... These are all dreams, he is just a failed man who gets drunk in the city, doesn't want to look at the face of his boss, and can only make a living by writing after quitting.

How could a low-cost man in China become the coach who commanded an NBA team to two consecutive championships? How could a beautiful, lively and sexy rich girl fall in love with me, a good-for-nothing otaku?

yes, it's all a dream. But the pain in my chest is so real. So real that Henson couldn't even tell the line between dream and reality. Is everything he has experienced in the past few years real or a dream?

He still remembers taking that silly boy from Antetokounmpo to the stadium for training.

He still remembers telling Wesley. Matthews: "Listen to it before 12 o'clock this morning, you can be indignant, you can be angry, you can feel like you've been deceived. But after 12 o'clock, kid. You have more important things to do, so cheer up! ”

He also remembers patting Chris. Paul's shoulder said, "Your time is up," and Paul gave him a beautiful strike.

He remembered Danny. Green said I want to play basketball, and he remembered Paul. How George went from being an obscure little transparent to a super scorer who could compete with Anthony.

He remembered the weight of the O'Brien Cup and the cold surface, and he remembered every warm kiss from Angelie......

These things lingered in his head, and they were so real.

If there really is such a real dream, then it is not called a "dream"!

And now I am here, but it is a dream!

Henson punched Percy in front of him, then opened his eyes.

The blinding white light made it difficult for him to see, and then a masked doctor appeared in his field of vision. Then, there is the nervous Angeli, pretending to be calm Larry. Bird, the fussy Vogel, and the lip-biting Stevens......

There were so many people, so many people, they were all around them, and everything was real......

"I'm fine, I'm fine......" Henson let out a faint voice, and he suddenly remembered everything. When I watched the video yesterday, my chest hurt again.

Only this time, the pain didn't go away on its own.

"Henson. Mr. Joe, I'm your attending doctor, Kenny. Moss. Your symptoms of myocardial ischemia are very severe, I advise you to rest well, don't worry, you are in the hospital, we will take care of you. ”

"What the am ...... How long have you been dizzy, Angela, when did you come? Aren't you supposed to be in New York right now? Where's a fashion show......"

"I'm not going, I don't care...... As long as you can wake up, Henson, that's more important than anything else. ”

Henson could feel Angelie bury her head in his chest, and he could smell her unique scent.

"You have been fainting for more than ten hours, and the doctor said that you are because you often stay up late, which causes your heart to be in a state of high load for a long time, and then triggers myocardial ischemia symptoms. Did you know Henson, you almost died! If you have this symptom, you should come to the doctor sooner! Bird was scolding, but his eyes were full of concern.

Henson waved his hand weakly, "Lao Tzu can't die, God will not bring the wicked to heaven, so the wicked will live a long life." By the way, the game is over, right? Brad, did your Celtics win or did my Pacers win? ”

'Your team is strong, Henson. But now is not the time to care about the game, your body ......"

"I'm fine, when will I be discharged? We're flying back to Indianapolis tonight and the 76ers tomorrow. Michael Carter. Williams, hmm...... What an interesting kid. ”

"No, you're not discharged, and you don't play. The doctor said you need to recuperate for a while. Bird shook his head, having been in contact with a lot of managers and being a manager himself.

So he knows very well how hard the manager is working.

The head coach has to endure both physical and mental torture, and in the end, he is sick, headache, chest pain, low back pain, back pain, and even worse, like George. Carl had two surgeries for cancer. It's not an isolated case, it's a common problem for most managers. People like Popovich who have been working for decades and are still so healthy are the exception.

This is the most real life of NBA head coaches, they seem to earn millions of annual salaries, and command their superstars with an annual salary of tens of millions to fight, and the scenery is infinite. But what they endured was unimaginable to ordinary people, as wise as Van Gundy Jr., who stepped down in 2007 and stepped down in the commentary seat, and never came back to coach at any invitation. He said that he was in an unhealthy state for a long time when he coached, and he didn't want to have that experience even if he loved basketball anymore.

As early as the 80s of the last century, he single-handedly formed the Utah Twins, and taught Jerry with his own hands. Sloan's Jazz Meritorious Coach Frank Brown. Raidon knows how much a head coach hurts people, and he once said after resigning, "Don't be an NBA head coach, because it's not a job that people do!" ”

So it is clear that with Henson's current physical condition, he will not be able to withstand the intensity of the manager's work in a short period of time.

Henson is no fool, and he suddenly realizes that his problem may be more serious than he thought. According to the script, Henson should refuse to take a break and go straight back to the court to stage everyone's favorite hero return scene.

But Henson didn't want to lose his life to basketball, and he wasn't going to be strong. So the head of the Chinese sect put away his indecent expression and asked softly, "How long is it?" ”

"At least three months, Henson, you have to recuperate for at least three months. And after you return, I'm afraid you won't be able to work so hard anymore. Byby pulled out three fingers and replied without question.
