196: Cheeky man
The game against the Heat ended without incident, but fortunately, it was the Indiana Pacers who won the game. Otherwise, Henson, who has been preparing for this for a long time, will definitely go crazy because of this.
Of course, the victory in this game also gave Henson an initial indication of his ability to control the game. If last season, Henson only won a game with a maverick big four and a quick attack, then this season, Henson has undoubtedly done a better job of controlling the game.
He knows when to attack and when to defend. What kind of strategy should be used against different stars when defending. Judging by the record of the Pacers and the Bulls and the Heat this season, Rose, Wade and James will face huge defensive pressure in almost every game.
The Pacers lost two games to the Heat, one because of Norris. Cole erupted without warning. The other game was because of Wade's final 3-point kill.
In other words, the Pacers have never been overpowered by the Heat this season. And all of this is thanks to Henson's just right tactical arrangement.
As for the debate over whether the head coach can play a role, Henson has undoubtedly become another example that can refute the "coaching uselessness" theory.
After the game against the Heat, Henson was in a good mood and even agreed to have dinner with Christine. Belch...... To be exact, the meal after the game was already considered a supper.
In normal times, Henson would probably politely refuse. But today the Pacers not only won against the Heat, but after the game, Henson's experience accumulator finally accumulated 1,000 experience, allowing Henson to be rewarded again!
In the first few games, Henson won one game to gain 50 experience points, and the progress of promotion was extremely slow.
But after this game, Henson actually gained 150 experience points in one go!
It seems that the quality of the opponent and the way you win the game will determine the amount of experience points. In the previous games, the Pacers' opponents were not strong, so they could only gain 50 experience points for winning once. And today's 15-point victory over a team like the Miami Heat is undoubtedly more golden.
But when it came to choosing the badge, Henson's choice difficulty was repeated.
Now that the Pacers are on solid development, there's nothing they need a badge to help with. So Henson decided to stock up on some badges that could be useful in the playoffs and prepare for a tougher game a month later.
So this time, Henson chose a very domineering name - this is Sparta!
The effect of the Speech is very simple and brutal: reset the team's morale to 100!
That is, no matter what blow the Pacers suffered, no matter how low the morale of the Pacers was. As long as you use this word, you can make everyone cheer up instantly!
If the Pacers are unfortunate enough to fall behind by a large margin in the playoffs, this trick may be very effective. Combined with the previous rhetoric of "resetting a player's morale to 75 and giving players stat enhancements for the next five games", Henson has become more confident about the playoffs in a month's time.
Because of these two badges, there is no doubt that the Pacers have the capital to play against the wind in the series.
Against the sky, these two words are really against the sky!
At the same time, Henson also found that although the badge is permanently valid, the effect is not as simple and crude as words. Although the effect of the speech is remarkable, the disadvantage is that it is used once and it is gone. So how to choose the rewards in the future, it seems that you have to weigh the rights and disadvantages.
It was precisely because he remembered the bright future of the Pacers and the fact that he didn't have to fly around by plane after today's game, that Henson slapped his head and readily agreed to Christine's request.
"Interview?" However, when Henson pounced on time, he found that this dinner was probably not as simple as a simple "gathering between friends".
"yes, it won't take up much of your time. And the time is up to you, anywhere! Christine looked at Henson, her hands on her chest, and the pitiful look in her eyes was even more unbearable.
Just off the court, Christine still looks like a mature and sexy professional woman. But now, she seems to have changed back into a little girl who has just graduated.
It's no secret that Henson has always been less interested in the media and journalists. So all along, if it wasn't for the team's forced arrangement, Henson would basically not accept any requests for media interviews.
In Henson's words, "I really don't want to listen to them ask those stupid questions face-to-face." ”
So one season down, Frank. Vogel, the assistant coach, has been interviewed more times than Henson. Because of most of the interviews, Henson asked Vogeldai to participate in it himself. Vogel often joked: "I'm almost your official spokesperson." ”
But even Henson, who hates the media and reporters so much, has a crush on both journalists. One is the well-respected "man in colorful clothes" Sage, and the other is the little girl sitting in front of him at this time.
Oh, man!
For a young girl who is just starting out in the industry and just starting out in her career, she will definitely need excellent results to continue to climb the ladder. And the interviews of other well-known coaches or players are estimated to have been scheduled for the summer!
As for the interviews with unknown managers...... It's not very eye-catching.
And the only coach in the league who is both well-known and doesn't have many interview appointments is Henson.
Because he knew that Henson didn't like to do interviews, most of the media simply stopped looking for him after "hitting the wall", and it was in vain anyway. Therefore, Henson does not have any interview appointments, and there is naturally no need to queue up to interview him.
Seizing this, Christine started Henson's idea.
"You're dedicated, Miss Ledlow. For an exclusive interview, he dared to go out to dinner alone with the most eccentric head coach in the league. Henson smiled and didn't say yes or no.
"Odd temper? That's just what they think. And it's true that I'm not inviting you out to dinner for work, but just a little bit of a work topic in my spare time. By the way, Coach Henson, I've always wondered, how did you and your girlfriend meet? Is she really still a college student? ”
"What's really fake about this? Is it weird that the team manager has a college girlfriend? Henson spread out his hand, his face really thick.
Isn't it strange that I don't have A numbers and C numbers in my heart?
"Because I really can't imagine how you might have the time to go to a college town in the Bay Area to find a girlfriend." Christine held her face with her small hands, her eyes full of curiosity.
"Like you, I met her on the basketball court. Of course, I was still a scout at the time, and no one knew who I was. My job at the time was to run around the United States, from one basketball arena to another, just to watch a few young people play. So, there's no question of running out of time. Of course, it turned out that my rush was not in vain. Speaking of the Pacers' draft in the past two years, Henson is still very proud.
“...... It's a pity that I wasn't the first to know you. ”
"Huh?"
"Uh...... It's nothing. So, can you promise me? Promise me! I definitely don't ask those stupid questions! Of course, I'm not going to talk about you and your girlfriend's gossip either. I can even go to your house myself if you want! ”
"Tsk," Henson muttered to himself, "what a gut! You don't know what happened to the last girl who went to my house! Wait a minute? The first time Anjiali went to Henson's house to sleep drunk, it seemed that nothing really happened, and Henson regretted it for a long time at that time......"
"Forget it, you just choose the time and place. Of course, in Indianapolis at its best. Henson shook his head, thinking to himself what he was thinking......
"So, you promised me!?" Christine's pretty blue eyes widened.
"As a gentleman, of course, it is impossible to refuse the request of a beautiful lady."
"Hah! Thank you, Henson. Coach Joe! Christine stood up excitedly, then leaned in and kissed Henson on the forehead, catching him off guard.
Well, it seems that it is quite good to come out for some private events like this once in a while......
