Henson, of course, is not resistant to such a thing as charity. Although his image in the league is a bastard and a villain, in life, Henson's three views are still quite correct. It is not an exaggeration to say that he is a good person.

I make so much money every year, and I take a small part of it to do charity, which can be regarded as accumulating virtue for myself. So, it's not like Henson hasn't attended charity dinners, but mostly in the offseason. Moreover, for the "banquet" part, Henson was not interested. So most of the time, he went to show his face and donate money, and then slapped his ass and left.

So much so that Anjiali repeatedly touched Henson's head on the plane, for fear that something would happen to her fiancé.

"When did you become interested in attending banquets?"

"I've not been interested." Henson looked out through the small oval window beside him, and he could already see the brilliant lights of the "City of Angels".

"Then why did you accept Kobe Bryant this time. Bryant's invitation? As far as I know, you're not a popular figure in Los Angeles. Angarie certainly knew that Henson didn't seem to be very popular except in Indianapolis

"First, take time to spend with you. Second, I have a lot of work to do. Henson smiled mysteriously at Angelie, and when it came to creating a sense of mystery, Henson was definitely a veteran driver. At the beginning, it was precisely because of Henson's mystery and maturity that he touched the heart of Anjiali, a rich girl.

Angeli grabbed Henson's arm and didn't ask any more questions. Sometimes, it's more emotional to let that mystery continue

In fact, Henson's work is easy to guess. With less than 24 hours to go, the 2013 trading deadline is approaching. Teams will no longer be able to trade players for each other from deadline until this summer.

So normally, the trade deadline is the last chance for many mid-table teams to bolster the playoffs. But again, few championship-caliber teams make a mid-season trade.

So these days, despite all the rumors in the trade market, you can't find the Indiana Pacers.

The Pacers have a 50-4 record with this lineup, and they don't have any reason to change their lineup. Henson thinks so too, but the deal he wants to make has nothing to do with this season, but has a bigger impact on next season!

You can't run a team year after year, you have to look farther. So it's not too early to think about next season.

And when Henson found out in the list of attendees at the banquet, Bucks general manager John . Hammond, he knew his chance had come!

At this year's trade deadline, let the defending champion also come and make a kick!

As one of the most prominent players in the league, Kobe's charity banquet naturally cannot be shabby. Therefore, in addition to many entertainment stars and business tycoons, Kobe Bryant also invited many people in the basketball circle.

Naturally, as the hottest basketball coach in the league right now, Henson. Joe also received an invitation from Bryant.

During the game, Bryant undoubtedly hated Henson very much. But outside of the game, Kobe Bryant still admires Henson very much. Kobe Bryant likes the strong, especially the kind of strong man who can do anything to win. And Henson. Joe, who is undoubtedly such a person.

At this time, the Chinese coach who was invited by Kobe was sitting in a taxi with his girlfriend and rushed to Kobe's mansion in Orange County, Los Angeles. Today's banquet will be held in that mansion.

"Los Angeles is a world ......of flowers," Henson muttered to himself as he looked at the street scene of Los Angeles outside as he was in the car. No matter how many times he's been to Los Angeles, Henson is struck by the hustle and bustle of the city, "but I prefer places like Indianapolis to the hustle and bustle of the metropolis." ”

"I don't like places that are too busy," echoed Henson's beauties, "My dad has a manor in Scotland, where can you stay with me in the offseason!" ”

"Uh" Henson suddenly couldn't answer, rich girls are different, a manor pops up at every turn

It didn't take long for the taxi to reach the door of Bryant's mansion in Orange County. It's not hard to find this place, as it's surrounded by all sorts of luxury cars and countless journalists.

"Look here, it's a big battle." Henson looked at Kobe's palace-like mansion and shook his head. I can't believe that I hang out with this group of billionaires every day.

"It's not in line with Kobe Bryant if it's small. Bryant's fame. However, Anjiali is not surprised by this. What's this, isn't the place where she lived when she was a child similar to this?

When Henson appeared in front of the public with Angeli in his hands. The flash lights immediately got busy, and the eyes of the two turned white. When Henson and Angeli are present at the same time, they are sure to be in the spotlight wherever they go.

Indeed, Henson and Angeli were both very stunning today. Anjiali wore a sexy backless black dress, and Henson's Armani suit was naturally not low-grade.

In addition, both of them are very young and have good temperament. I don't know, I thought it was someone from Hollywood.

Fortunately, Henson and Angeli are both people who are used to seeing this kind of scene. Otherwise, this sudden flash of light may really make people faint on the spot.

This is Los Angeles!

After Henson and Angelie strutted through the mansion gates, Kobe and his wife, Vanessa, were already waiting inside. As the organizer of this banquet, Kobe Bryant naturally hugged and greeted every guest who came.

"What made you change your mind? Coach Henson. "Bryant was very enthusiastic when he saw Henson, even though the Lakers were not in a good place this year. But it can be seen that Kobe Bryant has not been completely pressed by pressure.

"I can't turn down an invitation from the best basketball player in the world, Mr. Bryant. So after much thought, I came anyway. Henson, of course, couldn't have said what he really meant, even though Bryant had nothing to do with it.

But you have to be cautious in everything, there are so many reporters here, and every time any news leaks out, Henson will lose his advantage. Otherwise, where do you think all the gossip you see all day long comes from?

"Come on in, the party is about to begin. Your female companion is shining brightly tonight, Mr. Joe. The hostess Vanessa said a few words to Angeli, and the girl's face immediately flushed.

Henson smiled and nodded at Kobe and Vanessa in thanks, then led Angeli into the hall of the mansion.

When the two of them reached the hall, Henson couldn't help but be stunned by the luxurious bearing here. Although he has attended many similar dinners before, it must be admitted that in terms of luxury, this banquet held by Kobe Bryant is definitely one of the best.

There are many people Henson doesn't know, but there are also many acquaintances.

For example, the Spaniard Paulo, who is chatting with a bunch of friends. Gasol, who has always been very passionate about philanthropy, Steve Gasole. Nash. Well, and there's Hollywood star Tom, whom Henson loves so much. Cruise. See Tom. At the moment when Cruise, Henson always subconsciously felt that he was on some kind of agent mission

However, after looking around, Henson did not find "Warcraft" Dwight. Howard's figure. It seems that the rumors about Kobe Bryant and Howard's disagreement are all true. It is also said that with O'Neal's previous experience, the Lakers should have thought of such an outcome a long time ago.

Henson wasn't really interested in dinner parties. His gaze still swept over everyone, hoping to find his "target" for tonight soon.

But to Henson's surprise, many people took the initiative to come over to talk to Henson and Anjiali.

As the daughter of a businessman, many business people naturally want to get to know Vivek through this relationship with Anjiali. Of course, there are also many people who are more interested in the Chinese-American coach who single-handedly created the legend of Indiana. What's more, Henson is now the spokesperson for Armani, which has made his popularity skyrocket.

This made Henson a little flattered. He thought that a bastard like him would be a little transparent in this kind of dinner party. Unexpectedly, there are times when bastards are popular.

"You're younger than the Coach Henson I saw on TV."

"How do you manage your players? The Pacers have almost never been exposed to locker room conflicts. ”

"How does it feel to win 25 in a row? You must have been happy for days, right? ”

Faced with the group of gentlemen around him who never had to ask endless questions, Henson felt that they were not much different from reporters.

Of course, Henson can't treat them as harshly as he does a journalist.

After chatting for a long time, before Kobe Bryant officially began to organize the dinner, Henson finally saw the person he was looking for in the crowd.

Gold-rimmed glasses, meticulously groomed hair, and always with a polite smile on his face.

John. Hammond is an assistant coach with the Pistons, Clippers, University of Missouri and University of Nebraska. Of course, his current identity is the general manager of the Milwaukee Bucks. And in the 09-10 season, he also won the Manager of the Year award.

"Honey, I need to go and talk to that man." Henson said, casually picking up a glass of wine from the waiter's plate.

Anjiali nodded obediently, she knew very well that Henson was not here to attend the banquet, "Go, I can take care of myself." ”

Henson smiled and strode towards the man. Antetokounmpo, draft picks, the future of the Pacers

And, of course, he has the Milwaukee Bucks' favorite!

When you talk about business knowing what others are looking for, the odds of success are very, very high.

"It's a great honor to see you here, sir." Henson spoke the first sentence, and Hammond turned his head to see that it was Henson. Joe, too, was a little surprised, but the look of surprise was only fleeting.

"Oh, look who's coming? Coach of the Year! What wind brought you here? "John. Although Hammond and Henson are both basketball players, they don't know each other well. So, after meeting, I exchanged a few words of greeting.

"It doesn't matter what the wind is, I just know that it's a few hours before the trade deadline, Mr. Hammond." Henson gestured to his watch, "If you want, we can go to the balcony and talk, it's quiet." ”

As with the game, Henson always likes to take the initiative first.
