Butler University is located 15 miles west of the Indianapolis suburbs, and although it is not far from the city, there are no city buildings in sight of Butler University.

The entire school is surrounded by green mountains. The place may seem isolated, but it is an integral part of Indianapolis.

At one time, Butler University's most famous major was pharmacy. But in recent years, Butler's college basketball career has also grown quite well. A few years ago, the limelight even overshadowed Indiana University.

It's just a pity that since Brad. With Stevens gone, basketball at Butler University became ordinary again. People wish Stevens the same success in the NBA as he did in the NCAA, but unfortunately, the Cinderella myth of Butler University has not been replicated in the NBA.

Since it is now the middle of May, the school has already closed for the summer vacation. So, the campus was empty and there weren't many people. Except for some students who stayed on campus, it was bustling with a few tourists who came to visit.

The campus, surrounded by mountains and forests, is empty and quiet. Really a great place to rest and relax.

So at this time, next to an artificial lake at Butler University. Two men who looked to be quite old were sitting on the benches.

Both of them looked to be in their thirties and forties, and they were certainly not students here. One of the white men looked a bit like a teacher, but the Chinese man next to him looked more like ...... It's more like a gangster who came out of the "Godfather" movie.

"It's perfect, isn't it? Quiet environment, beautiful views...... There's no better way in the world than Butler University. On the bench, the white man leaned his head back, looking at the blue sky above him, as if he could forget all his troubles in an instant.

This man is the former Butler College basketball team meritorious coach, and is also the current Boston Celtics head coach, one of the most successful young coaches in NBA history. Stevens.

"It's beautiful, you should have taken me to a place like this. If I had discovered such a pleasant place earlier, I probably wouldn't have had a heart attack. ”

Next to Stevens, the "godfather" stared at the lake. His eyes were as deep as the artificial lake.

The "godfather" was a former top statistics student at Indiana University, but of course, his profession has nothing to do with his major now. He's a basketball coach, no, should I say he's the godfather of basketball in Indianapolis!

And these two men, who have made great contributions to Indianapolis basketball, first met at Butler University.

At the time, Stevens was an obscure college teacher. And Henson. Joe, still an insolent rascal.

"Come on, your heart attack is on the pitch, and it has nothing to do with whether you see the scenery or not. Do you and Angeli go to fewer places every year? A man-made lake in a university is not as good as your world trip. ”

Stevens smiled and waved his hand and went on to add, "Speaking of world travel, I do want to travel. This time, I'm going to England with my wife and children, to a place away from basketball. I'm so tired, Henson. I wanted to take a good rest and I didn't want to touch basketball again until the start of training camp for the new season. ”

"You've broken your appointment, Brad." Henson was not in the slightest interest in Stevens's travel plans, he looked sideways at Stevens, and said something that seemed confusing, but everyone understood.

Henson was right, Stevens missed the appointment.

Before the playoffs begin, the final game of the regular season, at North Shore Gardens. Henson and Stevens agreed to play a big game in the Eastern Conference Finals.

But just a day ago, with James' all-around stats of 35 points, 8 rebounds and 8 assists, the Cavaliers slaughtered the Celtics again by 33 points on the road. And after this game, the Cavaliers have also turned the series total score to 4-1.

In other words, the Cleveland Cavaliers got past the Celtics and made their way to the Eastern Conference Finals with ease.

Henson's Pacers, on the other hand, eliminated the Raptors with an overall score of 4-0 early. Since the first meeting between the two sides, the Pacers have had the upper hand. In the series against the Raptors, the Pacers were able to win each other by more than 10 points per game.

Kyle. Lowry averaged just 12.3 points per game in the series, which is a serious discrepancy with his status on the team.

One 4 to 0, one 4 to 1. The two seemingly small scores made these two men sitting together embark on a completely different journey. Stevens is going around the world, and Henson must continue to play against two of the best teams in the league.

"Your team...... There were two games in which they lost by more than 30 points. Brad, LeBron. Is James that strong? Henson reflected on the Celtics' experience in the Eastern Conference semifinals, which can only be described as miserable.

"LeBron is more mature than the LeBron of the Heat, and at the same time, his physical condition has not regressed. So, yes, LeBron. James is really strong. My team lost, and I lost convincingly. Stevens looked helplessly at the artificial lake in front of him.

Actually, it's a pretty thing to lose or something. Stevens asked Henson to come to Butler University for a walk today, in fact, he just wanted to relax. Otherwise, he always felt panicked.

The Celtics played so well in the regular season this season, and Thomas Jr. also put up an MVP-level performance. However, Stevens still lost, and he couldn't even win a chance to play Henson at the top.

"Okay, don't let LeBron interfere in our business, now it's okay, the Eastern Conference Finals have become a game between me and LeBron again. When do you go on a trip? Not participating in this year's draft? Henson sighed, then immediately pulled away from the topic, not wanting to add to Stevens' trouble.

"Do I have to worry about the draft? Danny. Anji, that old fox, naturally has an arrangement. I'm not like you, Henson. I'm the head coach of the Celtics, but I'm just the head coach. ”

"I really envy you kid, go play with peace of mind. By the time you get back, we'll already be preparing for the championship parade, hahahahaha! ”

"Don't be so sure, Henson. Don't look at the Cavaliers' regular season standings behind you and me, only in third place. But they are in the playoffs and very different from the regular season. They are powerful, much more powerful than we think. So, don't take it lightly. Kill LeBron for me and say hello to him. ”

Henson nodded slightly, then stood up from the bench, "Don't worry, I think I beat LeBron and the Heat three years in a row." It's almost time, and it's time for me to get ready for the afternoon of confrontational training. Thank you for having me, Brad. I think in the future, we can go out for a walk together. ”

After saying goodbye to Stevens, Henson drove his Cadillac toward the city.

In fact, without Stevens, Henson also knows how strong James is in this year's playoffs.

In the first game of the Eastern Conference semifinals, James had 30 points, 7 rebounds and 7 assists. In the second game, he had 39 points, 9 rebounds and 7 assists. Although the Cavaliers lost in the third game, James still had 30+7 data in his account.

In the fourth and fifth games, James scored 38 and 36 points respectively.

There is no doubt that a James who does his best in the playoffs and James who plays "health basketball" in the regular season are not athletes of the same level at all.

His presence is indeed a great threat to Henson. But don't forget, the Pacers' front line, and the Celtics' front line, are not at the same level at all.

The Celtics have to rely on Jay. Crowder and rookie Jalen. Brown and James are dead, but Henson is not so shabby. When Paul. When George and Antetokounmpo team up to defend one man. Henson believes that even if that person is LeBron. James, to no avail!

Thinking of this, Henson couldn't help but step on the accelerator a little deeper. He can't wait to get back to the basketball arena and prepare for tomorrow's Eastern Conference Finals.

Now that the playoffs have been played, and finally there is a slightly decent opponent, Henson is certainly excited.

Eastern Conference Finals, James vs. Henson.

LeBron was right, this is their fate.
