437: I love you, asshole

"Coach Henson has successfully sobered up and is temporarily out of danger!"

"The source of the disease is myocardial ischemia, and another head coach has collapsed due to physical reasons!"

"Tie Shuai can't withstand the disease? Coach Henson is likely to miss the game for 3 months! ”

The day after Henson fainted, the front page headlines of sports media across the United States were occupied by Henson. But Henson is not proud of this. After all, the way he dominated the headlines nearly cost him his life.

Boston's Maguire Hospital is lined with reporters 24 hours a day, eager to get in, but they don't want reporters to disturb patients. So, the two sides are so consumed. The hospital does not compromise on life and death, and reporters do not leave without affecting the operation of the hospital.

Of course, the journalists are not without nothing. Because in just 24 hours, they saw a lot of NBA stars and celebrities coming and going here. It seems that Coach Henson's popularity in the league is not as bad as people think.

Early in the morning of November 23rd, people found Reggie. Miller showed up in Boston. Of course, he's not here to explain the game, or he's here to go on vacation. As soon as he landed in Boston, Miller headed straight for Maguire Hospital.

At noon, Charles. Barkley also showed up at the hospital gate. Half an hour later, Barkley tweeted a photo. In the photo, he and Henson in the hospital bed give a thumbs up to the camera, and Barkley captions for the photo are: All is well, strong Henson will survive.

At two o'clock in the afternoon, the famous sideline reporter, "Man in Colorful Clothes" Sag also rushed over. As a sign of respect, Sag wore only a black suit for the first time today. An hour later, the beautiful reporter Kristen who had been doing a good job in NBATV was already doing a good job. Ledlow also made a shining appearance, and her appearance undoubtedly made reporters envious of Henson.

At five p.m., Pelicans star point guard Zhu . Holiday and the Trail Blazers start 3-and-D No. 2 Wesley. Matthews arrived. And many stars and coaches in the league who were unable to show up also sent their blessings to Henson on social media, including Henson's old rivals Popovich, Spoelstra, Scott. Brooks and Tom. Thibodeau.

"Coach Henson, though usually annoying, has always presented himself as a jerk. But there's no doubt that this time we're seeing Coach Henson's pretty good connections in the league. Whether it's a player, a media worker or a coach, there are just as many people who like him as they hate him. That's Henson. Joe, a controversial manager. The Boston Post commented on the matter.

"Don't worry, Wesley, I can't die. You've had a great season, averaging a career-high 16.4 points per game! You have lived up to me, Matthews. Do your best, no matter what the situation is, you have to persevere, you know? "Inside the ward, Henson was working with his last visitor, Wesley. Matthews Dialogue.

Wesley was a little surprised, because he didn't expect Henson to be paying attention to himself, and even his average points per game this season was clear to one decimal place. What he didn't know was that whenever Henson saw others, all sorts of data would automatically pop up.

"They say you won't be able to go back for three months, is that true?"

"Three months at least, Wesley. That is, the actual time may be longer than three months. But that's okay, I'll just take a paid vacation. Henson's voice was a little weak, but even that couldn't hide his optimism.

"Boss, you always carry all the pressure on yourself. Sometimes, you really don't have to. Matthews looked at Henson, a little heartbroken.

I didn't think it was when I played with the Pacers before, but since playing on a different team, Matthews has noticed that Henson is different. Although Trail Blazers coach Terry. Stotts is also a good coach, but he doesn't take the initiative to attract firepower for the players, he doesn't joke with everyone in the dressing room, and he doesn't go to great lengths to maintain the atmosphere in the dressing room......

At the Trail Blazers, Stotts was just a coach to Matthews. But with the Pacers, Henson is as important to Matthews as a close friend. Perhaps, the difference between the two.

"It doesn't have to be? So who should do it? Somebody has to do these things, Wesley. Some things, no matter how difficult they are, have to be done. ”

Henson smiled bitterly, and at that moment, Henson's attending doctor, Kenny. Moss walked in, "Sir, though I am very reluctant to bother, ...... The visitation time was over and he needed to rest. ”

"Okay, I'll leave, doctor. Take care, sir, many people are looking forward to your return. Matthews reluctantly left, and when he closed the door to the ward, it meant that no one would come today.

As said before, he was the last visitor of the day.

'He's a really good player, Coach Henson. Even if you don't coach him anymore, you can see that you still have a high status in his heart. Moss smiled, fortunately the Pacers still have a game in Indianapolis today, otherwise Henson would have more visitors.

"Wesley has always been a good lad, a strong good guy. Doctor, do you have something to talk to us about? The "we" in Henson's mouth refers to himself and Angeli.

Ever since she was hospitalized, Angeli has been by Henson's side. In the past 24 hours, Anjiali is not a rookie model, nor a singer, nor is she Bai Fumei. She was just a gentle and considerate fiancΓ©e, and Henson knew very well that if he could survive this catastrophe, he would have to spend the rest of his life thanking this girl.

What is the saying in China? Hardship sees the truth.

"That's right, your mental state is much better today, so I'm going to tell you more about your physical condition. Miss Lanadivie, you can also listen. ”

The doctor pulled out the file bag tucked under his armpit, and his expression became serious.

"Coach Henson, this shouldn't be the first time you've had chest pain, right?"

Henson nodded, "Well, I had it a few years ago, but it used to hurt for a few seconds and then it would recover." ”

"You also know that your fainting this time was mainly caused by myocardial ischemia. It wasn't serious before, so your heart will be able to heal itself in a few seconds. But now...... To use a familiar analogy, your players have been playing for 48 minutes without a second of rest, and they are extremely tired. But in overtime, you still let him run all over the field. So, he began to lose it. And you know better than I how dangerous it is to keep an exhausted player on the pitch. ”

An Jiali couldn't interject on the side, so she could only look at the two men silently.

"I don't usually let my players play 48 minutes, sir, I'm not Tom. Thibodeau. Henson smiled and waved his hand, and Thibodeau lay innocently on the gun.

"So, you can't allow your heart to play 48 minutes of the game, coach! You have fallen into the root of the disease, and you may relapse at any time in the future! ”

Henson wasn't surprised to hear this, "As a head coach, how many people have no physical problems?" ”

Moss didn't refute, but nodded in agreement, "You're right, you guys are under huge psychological pressure, and they work with a high load for a long time, and their work and rest times are irregular, which is indeed easy to induce all kinds of physical problems." ”

The doctor shook his head helplessly and continued, "To tell you the truth, Doug. Rivers ran to our hospital twice in three days when he was still coaching the Celtics, and once he coughed so much that he vomited blood in the middle of the night, which scared him. But you're only 34 years old when you have a heart attack, and age isn't your advantage at this point, Henson. This means that you have to be careful for decades to come! The string is taut, but it can be broken at any moment. ”

"Live a regular life, keep a good mood, avoid emotional agitation and overwork...... All of these can effectively prevent the occurrence of heart disease. But the characteristics of your job are all contrary to these requirements. I've heard you still like to smoke cigars, and to be honest, it's not a good habit either, coach. It's better to quit than to quit. ”

"Honestly, although you are sober now, I don't think you are completely out of danger. Your body is still weak and your heart is unstable. I am not alarmist, as your attending physician, I am very serious and responsible to tell you that you must be extra careful from now on, this is a matter of human life. ”

After hearing what the other party said about such a lot of things, Henson shook his head and smiled, "My physical condition is so bad? ”

"I'm afraid so, Coach. With all due respect, if you want to live a little longer, you'd better be careful. ”

Hearing this, An Jiali shuddered. The perceptive Henson naturally noticed Anjiali's nervous situation, so he immediately responded, "I listen to you, doctor, I fully cooperate, you are my god now." ”

"That's the best, Coach. To be honest, I wish you a speedy recovery as well. After all, without you...... This alliance will lack a lot of fun. ”

After the doctor went out, Henson turned his head to look at Angeli. Since just now, his hand has been held tightly by An Jiali. And now, Henson could feel that Anjiali's palms were already full of sweat.

"Don't worry, I'll be fine. It's you, your job over there......"

"It's nothing, I lost a few contracts and made less money." Angeli threw herself on Henson's chest in pain, but fearing that it would affect Henson's unhealthy heart, she immediately got up again.

"Thank you, Ann...... I ......"

Before Henson could finish speaking, Angeli gently placed her left index finger on Henson's lips.

"Don't talk yet, Henson, rest well, just listen to me. I beg you to promise me one thing. ”

"Don't say one thing, I'll promise a hundred."

"Don't be a manager anymore."

"What?"

"Don't ...... I don't want to lose you, I love you, damn Henson. Joe! Now I know why they call you a jerk......"

Spike who sees this scene outside the hospital room. Lee shrugged his shoulders and turned off the camera.
