It's early in the morning, but it's still buzzing outside the Banker's Life Arena, where shouts and cheers pierce the supposedly silent night sky. The fans hugged each other and shouted, "Oh my God, it's like a dream, we're number one in the West!" We've achieved a 22-game winning streak and we're almost unbeatable! ”

It's hard to believe, because just a few years ago, they were worried about the playoffs and confused.

In the summer of 2010, Pacers assistant coach Henson. Joe took Jim. O'Brien's coach, who brings a whole new approach to players and tactics in an attempt to reshape the Pacers. That year, the Pacers made the playoffs third in the East and played seven games against the Chicago Bulls in the Eastern Conference semifinals.

In 2012, the Pacers defeated the Miami Heat, who had a luxurious roster, at home and advanced to the Finals. At that time, no one could have imagined that the O'Brien Cup would be lost to Indianapolis a month later.

In 2013, facing the old rival Heat, who was in good shape, facing the rampaging James, Wade who returned from injury, and Bosh, who felt hot, Henson. Joe used a halftime adjustment to give the Pacers a 22-game winning streak!

After the game, a gray-haired Pacers fan burst into tears in an interview, "This passionate time will never be forgotten by me and my kids!" ”

Behind the 22-game winning streak is tenacity, tenacious defense, sincere cooperation and a never-say-die attitude.

Of course, everyone knows that it all started that summer of 2010. It was an ordinary morning, until the fans received a piece of breaking news.

Pacers assistant coach Henson. Joe will take Jim. O'Brien's coach, as the head coach of the Pacers! ”

There may be a kind of woman who can make you list a whole lot of shortcomings.

She can't cook, she is vain, she is rude, she has a bad temper...... It's like, all the shortcomings in the world, you can find in her. However, she just has such a style that makes your heart surging and unforgettable. At a certain moment, completely occupy your heart.

It's not just women, it's also some coaches.

"If we go do a street survey now and ask a fan about Henson. What do you think of Joe, then I am sure that the fan will definitely answer me: he is full of swearing, unreasonable, and full of lies, and he is an out-and-out villain! If we go to the United States to collect information, we will find that we hate Henson. Coach Joe's fans, definitely account for more than 85%! Just as you can't expect some women to be both amorous and gentle. We all know that Coach Henson has shortcomings of one kind or another. But one thing we can't deny, Coach Henson is definitely the kind of coach who can help the team win! Victory, championship trophies, glory! If you like these, then you'll definitely love Henson too. Joe! - Kristen. Ledlow, Half Angel, Half Demon. ”

This is after the Pacers have won 22 in a row, ESPN beauty reporter Kristen Brown. An excerpt from an article written by Ledlow for Henson. This article uses a woman's perspective to analyze a maverick male coach, and this unique perspective has ushered in a lot of attention and discussion as soon as the article is published.

And just like that, with a 22-game winning streak and this article and a photo of Henson enjoying his victory under the flying confetti, Henson. Once again, as the head coach of the team, Joe has become the most high-profile celebrity in this league!

"Hah! I didn't expect that one day someone would compare me to a woman with all kinds of amorous feelings! "Sitting in his office, Henson. Joe rested his feet on his desk and leaned comfortably against the back of his chair.

"Christine's article is very true, for example, he said that you are full of swearing, unreasonable, and lies hahahahaha, she knows you so well!" Stevens laughed until he caught a disgusted look from Henson.

"Come on, if she really knew me, she wouldn't have used these words on me that were obviously not in line with my temperament."

"You're right, Henson, come on."

Vogel on the side shook his head, listening to the two young coaches arguing has become a daily routine in his work.

"By the way, at two o'clock this afternoon, the league will announce the full roster of this year's All-Star Game. Henson, what do you think of us this year apart from Chris. Can anyone else make the All-Star other than Paul? Vogel started a new topic, and he didn't want to listen to Henson and Stevens talk about it all afternoon.

Earlier, on January 25, the league officially announced the starting list for the 2013 Houston All-Star Game. Undoubtedly, as one of the best point guards in the league, Chris . Paul was selected again. Not to mention the East, even in the strongman West, Henson can guarantee that no one can shake Paul's position as the starting point guard of the All-Star.

And after the starting list is announced, it is the release of the All-Star bench list.

Compared to the starters, although the All-Star bench is not as high-profile. But there's no doubt that even if a player is named to the All-Star bench, it will be an honor for the team.

"David and Al have been able to choke this season, their strength has not declined, but their numbers have declined." Stevens spread his hands, and due to the change in tactical role and tactical position, Horford and West have not had many opportunities to show themselves this season, and the statistics are mediocre after all. In addition, this year's All-Star Game directly eliminated the center position, resulting in a much less likely selection of interior players.

So in Stevens' view, although West and Horford have All-Star level strength, they are missing a little bit of All-Star data.

"So you think we're only one All-Star this year, Paul?" Vogel smiled with interest.

"It's not surprising, it's great for a team to have someone in the All-Star Game. After all, not all teams are like the Los Angeles Lakers and the Miami Heat. Speaking of which, the Lakers and the Heat are really perverted, Lakers Kobe Bryant and Howard were selected as All-Star starters at the same time, and the Heat are even more terrifying, three people from one team are selected as All-Star starters! God, no one would have believed that such a thing could have happened. Stevens said, shaking his head, three of the five All-Star starters were on the same team. The Heat's lineup is difficult not to be looked at.

"Cut," Henson waved his hand, and he finally spoke, having not spoken, "What about three people being selected for the All-Star team?" Didn't you lose to us yesterday too? The number of players selected for the All-Star Game has little to do with the strength of the team. Besides, I don't think we're the only ones who can make the All-Star Game this year. Bet not, Brad, Frank. Let's bet on a month's dinner, and we have at least two people on our team who can be selected for the All-Star Game! ”

Looking at Henson's ghostly smile, Vogel and Stevens looked at each other and scratched their heads.

The Pacers' daily workout usually ends at 12 p.m. and then starts at 2:30 p.m. Don't ask Henson why he arranged it, this is all a deep imprint left by 9 years of compulsory education in Henson's mind.

But every day around 1:40, people will come to the training hall to start warming up and practicing in advance. Among them, Paul. George is definitely the "main force" that cannot be beaten.

George has been doing well this season, quite well. In the first two years with the Pacers, people said George had a good chance of becoming a star. And this season, he is undoubtedly already a star.

He averaged 21.7 points per game, the highest on the Pacers' team. He averaged 6.8 rebounds per game, fourth on the team. Before you know it, George, who is in the third grade, has become the top scorer of a championship team! Although the Pacers are a team-oriented team-based team-based team, six have averaged double-digit points per game this season. It is precisely because of this that George can become the Pacers' scoring champion with a figure of 21.7, which is not an exaggeration.

But even so, the top scorer of a championship team definitely deserves to be called a star. It's just that George's light is often overshadowed by Paul and Henson, so in the eyes of most fans, George is still the same young George, and he will only be surprised when he accidentally sees his stats this season.

George's rapid progress, in addition to Henson's badge role, is also related to his unremitting efforts. And this teenager didn't know that his efforts were finally about to be seen.

"Hahahahaha Just after the players who came to the training ground in advance trained for more than ten minutes, Henson's wild shouts were heard in the head coach's office next to the training hall.

Normally, a manager's office is a very serious place. Every time Henson called someone to the office to talk, the players couldn't help but get a little nervous. But today, there was an inopportune shout from that extremely serious "palace".

Just as everyone turned their eyes to the head coach's office, Henson suddenly "broke down" and rushed into the training hall.

With his phone in hand, he strode onto the court. Behind him, however, were Stevens and Vogel, who seemed to be both happy and a little unhappy.

George stared at Henson until the Chinese coach who brought him to Indianapolis was less than 5 meters away from him, and George realized that he was coming at me!

Without further ado, Henson walked up to George and grabbed him hard.

"Boss?" George was stunned, these three men wouldn't be so bored as to play Truth or Dare, if that's the case, letting Henson hug his player wouldn't be punishment at all.

Henson was very hard and hugged George tightly. After all, this No. 24 was cultivated by him step by step, and he watched and grew step by step! This sense of accomplishment, this kind of joy, others simply can't experience it!

Henson hugged George and was stunned for a few seconds, he didn't want people to find out, he secretly shed two tears.

After a few seconds, Henson finally let go and sorted out George's training jersey.

"It's out, stinky boy! Congratulations, you're now an All-Star! ”

In the quiet basketball court, there was a sudden uproar.
