"I'll pick you up in the afternoon, and I'll come over after the team training." Henson sat in his office, and through the floor-to-ceiling windows of his office, he could clearly see the players in training. But at this point, Henson's focus was not on training.

"No, I'll just take a taxi. You should be busy with yourself, but don't delay your training because of such a trivial matter. "On the phone, it's the owner of the Pacers...... Ann Jiali's daughter. Ranadivie's voice.

Indeed, Henson really has no extra time to waste. After yesterday's game, Henson didn't even dare to give his players a holiday. Because tonight, the Miami Heat is likely to end the series with the Knicks. The Miami native has already secured a match point, and he believes James won't waste such an opportunity to finish at home.

This means that the Eastern Conference Finals will most likely start in five days! Therefore, Henson did not dare to waste a moment at this time.

"Anyway, I'm going on a plane. When you get home today...... You'll be able to see a sumptuous dinner~"

Henson smiled, every summer is undoubtedly his happiest time. Because Anjiali is on vacation.

"Hey, I wish my vacation had started sooner...... Phew! Henson was halfway through his sentence when he suddenly realized something was wrong. If the holiday starts early, doesn't that mean the walkers will be eliminated sooner......

But it's true that against the Miami Heat, Henson is mentally prepared for defeat. Although they are all Big Three, the Big Three of the Heat and the Big Three of the Celtics, who just lost to the Pacers, are not the same concept.

Now, the three giants of the Heat are all in their prime, and there are no conflicts within their team, and everyone is very united. Especially after last season's collapse, the Heat's desire to win the championship is even stronger. This desire is not just for James and Wade, but spreads to every player on the Heat team!

When everyone on a team has the same desire and goal, then the fighting power of that team is undoubtedly terrifying. And the Miami Heat is undoubtedly such a terrifying team.

In the regular season, the Pacers and Heat only barely played a 2-2 draw. So compared to the 76ers and the Celtics, Henson is really a little uncertain about the next Eastern Conference Finals.

But is this how the Pacers are going to lose? Not necessarily. Henson still has two cards in his hand, two cards that no manager in the league can certainly play.

These two cards are not players, but two words that Henson has been hoarding for a long time in the postseason.

Words: Keep Shooting: Resets a player's morale to 75 and gives them stat boosts for the next 5 matches!

When the Pacers were in a desperate situation last season, Henson almost used that trick. But considering that it might be more useful in the future, Henson has been there until now.

There is no doubt that this rhetoric can create a surprise for the Pacers! The playoffs are not only a stage for stars, but also for non-star players to become famous. Every year in the playoffs, there are always one or two players who make a difference. And having this skill undoubtedly gives Henson the ability to artificially create magic.

Five games, with a surprise player that no one could have imagined, was enough for Henson to win a series. As for who this rhetoric will end up with, it will depend on the situation of the playoffs.

But how much this attribute enhancement is specifically strengthened, Henson does not know. Sometimes, Henson really thinks that the data analysis module is quite unreliable...... If it is only strengthened a little, it will not have the effect of creating a miracle soldier. So this card doesn't have to be a trump card, and there's a good chance it won't even work at all.

As for Henson's other "trump card", it is the word trick that was drawn not long ago: this is Sparta!

The description of the effect of this spell is very easy to understand: reset the team's morale to 100.

In other words, even if the Pacers are beaten 3-0, the Pacers players will not be as depressed as the Celtics. As long as Henson uses this rhetoric, everyone on the Pacers will immediately continue to play with the Heat as if they were playing chicken blood.

Morale, this seemingly ethereal thing, is actually very, very important in a best-of-7 game. The Celtics' easy elimination by the Pacers is a vivid example of the low morale that can lead to it.

If the Green Triumvirate gives it their all every game as they did in Game 1, maybe the Pacers won't necessarily make the cut. However, the truth is that people are not machines, and a player has complex emotions. Once morale is low, it is difficult for the players to play to their full strength.

So with this skill, Henson can easily solve the problem of low morale. Undoubtedly, this also gave the Pacers the capital to play against the wind.

If these two "trump cards" Henson can be used well, then he believes that he will lead the Pacers to the Finals...... It's not impossible!

※※※

At six o'clock in the afternoon, Henson drove home the vintage Jaguar he had "washed" from Bird last year. As soon as he arrived at the door, Henson saw through the window that the house was already brightly lit.

For convenience, Henson also gave Angeli a key to his home. So every time she has a holiday, Anjiali comes to Henson as if she is going back to her own home.

"Honey, I can already smell the smell of fried steak outside the door...... ......" Henson shouted as he opened the door, stunned in the doorway.

Because at this time, An Jiali is not the only one in her family. On the sofa, there was also a thin man with meticulously combed hair and a black suit.

This is Henson's boss and also Angary's father, Vivek. Lanadivi.

"Coming back? Henson, sorry, I didn't say a word to you. Vivek waved his hand, greeting Henson.

"Uh..... Nothing to be sorry about. I'm here, you can come whenever you want. Henson was a little overwhelmed, he didn't expect such an unexpected visitor to his home. And he didn't know in what capacity Vivek was visiting at this time.

Is he visiting in the name of his own boss, or in the name of Angeli's father? The same person, in a different capacity, gets along with you, and the feeling is completely different.

"Henson, you and Dad sit down for a while, the steak will be ready soon~" In the kitchen, Anjiali's happy voice came.

Henson "obediently" sat down across from Vivek, and the two men looked at each other, and Henson felt very uncomfortable.

"The last time I ate my daughter's food was four years ago. I also insisted on visiting today, I didn't want to disturb you, I just ...... I just want to meet my daughter. Vivek spread his hands, he didn't blame Anjiali for coming back and going to her boyfriend's house first instead of looking for his father, because when Anjiali needed him before, he was often not by his daughter's side.

Henson nodded in understanding. Indeed, Angeli lived with herself most of the time even when she returned to India. And Vivek, the father, almost never see each other, except on specific holidays.

"But seeing her so happy, I was relieved. If you treat her badly, Henson......" Vivek said, his eyes suddenly darkening.

"Damn, why are you so shady, are you from the DC Comics universe?" Of course, Henson didn't say this, but hurriedly waved his hand, "No, that kind of thing will never happen." ”

"Well, that's what I want to hear." Vivek's smile was back on his face, and Henson admired the faces of the merchants.

"Actually, I have one more thing to do today. Henson, you know, Angeli is going to graduate next year. She said she wanted to be a model, and of course I supported her. But I think until then, your marriage to her ......"

"Poof!" Henson squirted all the water he had just taken back into his cup, DF? Marriage!?

"Married? Angeli is still very young. I mean...... Uh, of course I do, just ......" Henson stopped abruptly as he noticed that Vivek was smirking at his incoherent self.

"Look at you, if the reporters knew the omnipotent Henson. Coach Joe also has such an embarrassing side, which will definitely subvert their perception of you. I'm just a reminder, Henson. Marriage is your business, and I don't care. But An Jiali is not a little girl anymore, although you are a young marshal, but aside from the identity of the head coach, you are not a small boss. There are some things that you have to think about right now. Get married, have children, and make sure that these things don't affect both of your careers. Vivek said, patting Henson on the shoulder across the coffee table, "Men have to think about more than just how to lead the team to victory, Henson. ”

Well, it seems that today Vivek is here as a future father-in-law.

"Alright gentlemen, stop talking about basketball. Come on, good veal! At this time, Anjiali walked out with three plates.

"Veal? Well, I remember the last time you cooked me veal, you almost ruined the kitchen. Vivek kept complaining, but his body happily picked up the knife and fork.

"Henson, what are you doing?" Seeing that Henson was still sitting, Angeli stabbed him with her elbow.

"Uh, no! Hey, it's delicious. ”

"Henson, you're taking the knife backwards!"

"Huh!? Is it, hehe......"

Vivek looked at Henson's embarrassed appearance and shook his head with a smile. It seems that Coach Henson is not very good at things other than basketball......
