In mid-July, during the craziest part of the summer, major media outlets and fans were stunned by an explosive deal message. At this time of year, the NBA league's transfers are even more exciting than TV series.

But this year, the Indiana Pacers have been very quiet and have not made any big moves in the free agent market. The Pacers, after all, are the defending champions and a two-time champion. As a result, their lineup has proven to be effective and strong. Rather than break, it is better to keep it.

Therefore, fans can understand the silence of the Pacers.

But everyone is wrong, the Indiana Pacers are never willing to be lonely in the summer......

In one of the hot trading news, there is a small piece of news that has not received so much attention.

WNBA legend Becky. Harmon announced his retirement, and in the NBA's transfer wave, Becky Brown. The news of Harmon's retirement seemed like throwing a pebble into the ocean. You can't expect a pebble to cause a storm in the middle of the sea.

Although Becky. Harmon has a high status in the WNBA, but compared to the level of the NBA, it is indeed a little less meaningful.

Originally Becky. Harmon wanted to play for another year, but due to her physical condition, she finally decided to retire a year earlier than planned. Of course, at this time, not many people will care about why she retired early, and no one cares about what this female player will do after retiring.

But Henson, who had just returned to Indianapolis from France, dared to guarantee that this group of people would immediately care about her!

In Carmel, not far from Indiana University's Preparatory Campus, Byrd pulled up in front of a small three-story cottage.

He rolled down the window and looked outside the large iron gate for a moment. This small villa naturally can't be compared with a 10-million-level mansion like Kobe, but it is already quite magnificent.

The courtyard is full of furniture that has not yet been disassembled, and workers are busy moving things into the room one by one.

Henson, the kid, was a pragmatist, and he bought it without even thinking much about it when he came back. Of course, with Henson's current salary level, there is really nothing to think about to buy such a small villa.

"Didi!" Bird honked his horn at the door, and a man in a black T-shirt ran out of the house. Bird recognized that guy at a glance, it was Henson!

"I've said it all, I'll just go to you! Look, I haven't got anything done here! Henson enthusiastically opened the yard gate to Bird.

"Can't I come to your house and confess it? I heard you only came back two days ago, but now you've started moving furniture into the house? Are you always so efficient? Once in the courtyard, Bird looked at the layout of the villa and found that it was bigger inside than outside!

"You know, I'm really an efficient person, Bird. Both on and off the basketball court. It only took me ten minutes to turn around and decide to buy this house. Come in, the car is here, the garage is still a mess. ”

Following Henson, Bird walked into the interior of this imposing three-story cottage. The interior was already very well decorated, but it was empty everywhere and scattered with all kinds of items. The furniture is still being placed, and some micro-decorations are still underway. Now the only place in this house where you can sit is the sofa in the living room.

"Larry, you're here! Sit down, I've just made you coffee. Angeli took two cups of coffee and placed them on the coffee table, Bird nodded in thanks, and then sat down.

"You're in a good place, but it's far from the city."

"Fortunately, it's actually quite convenient, and it takes less than half an hour to drive from here to the Banker's Life Arena. The most important thing is that there is no traffic jam. Henson spread his hands, Bird didn't know how terrifying the morning rush hour was in China, otherwise he would definitely feel the same way as Henson.

"Have you heard? The Celtics and Nets have made a deal. Damn Danny. Anji, he sent away all the team's meritorious veterans in this way. Moreover, there are so many draft picks from the Nets. Gold. Terry's idiot, he thought he could get on the road to a quick championship, but in fact he had become a victim of Ange's rebuilding journey. ”

"Please, Bird, this was more than ten days ago. I also have access to the Internet in France, and I know no less than you do. But seriously, Danny. Can Anji find such a big boss as the Nets...... What a old fox! The thought of those three draft picks from the Nets tickles Henson's heart.

People say that Henson is insidious and cunning, but Henson thinks that he is an out-and-out decent person compared to Angie.

While the Nets look strong next season, let's not forget that Garnett and Pierce are both in their 40s. DeLong, Joe. Johnson and Lopez are not A-list superstars. If this lineup had been placed five years ago, it would have been at the championship level.

But until now, it is still unknown what results can be obtained. Not to mention, if this lineup is disbanded, how much fighting power will the Nets have left.

Gold. Terry sent draft picks until 2018, and no one knew what the Nets were like at that time. But in all probability, the Nets at that time were likely to be unable to shake up. When the time comes, Danny. The draft in Anji's hands is not to mention how valuable it is.

"Forget it, don't talk about others, let's get down to business. The summer league started yesterday, and if it drags on any longer, I'm afraid she won't even have the opportunity to coach the summer league. Instead of worrying about the Nets' three draft picks, Henson shifted the conversation to the Pacers themselves.

The "she" in his mouth was referring to Becky. Harmon!

"Becky. Harmon...... Are you sure you're going to coach the NBA with a woman? No, don't get me wrong, I'm not sexist. But we all know that the WNBA and NBA games are not at the same level. Becky. Harmon may be smart in the WNBA, but she won't necessarily be able to get a foothold in the NBA. Bird was a little hesitant, in fact, if it weren't for his undecidedness, he would have agreed on the phone the day before yesterday to sign Harmon instead of making the trip.

"As a player, there's no doubt that Harmon can't get a foothold in the NBA. But not necessarily as a coach, and that's why I need her to go to the Summer League to test the waters. I don't care about her gender, it's all about performance. Have you forgotten? When I was a scout, you were the one who gave me a coaching addiction in Summer League. ”

Remembering the past, Bird smiled and shook his head. He took a sip of his coffee, then leaned back on the couch, "So, you're determined to do this?" You know, you're going to cause an uproar. ”

"So what? I'm used to it. We must have been missed by the media after not showing up for so long. ”

"You madman." Bird muttered under his breath.

Becky after retiring. Harmon had only two options, either to accept the TV's invitation to become a commentator. Or continue to wait and wait for an opportunity to be able to coach in the NBA.

She has a rich resume, and she is one of the greatest stars in the WNBA. But again, her resume is a blank slate. Because she has never played at an NBA level and doesn't have any coaching experience.

But in Harmon's own words: "I love a challenge, and I play in a heartbeat." For me, teaching assistants are more challenging than narrators. ”

If you want to be an assistant coach, the San Antonio Spurs are naturally Becky. Hamon's first choice. After all, the second half of her professional career was spent with the San Antonio Silver Stars in the WNBA. The ATT Center is her home and San Antonio is half of her hometown.

But the competition for the Spurs' coaching staff is too great, even when Spurs head assistant coach Budenholzer left Atlanta this summer to make his own defence. But the Spurs' coaching staff is still full of talent.

Chip. England De, Emily. Judoka, Italy's decorated coach Ettore. Menasee ...... The Spurs' assistant coach lineup is very scary just by looking at the name.

If nothing else, let's talk about the Italian Menasi. He has led teams to four UEFA Champions League titles and nine Italian league titles. He has been named Italy's Coach of the Year five times, European Coach of the Year once, Champions League Coach of the Year twice, and in 2008 he was named one of the top 10 managers in the history of the Champions League!

Well, it's such a guy with a rich resume and a soft hand for glory, and he's just an assistant coach at the Spurs! Becky. Harmon's name is a little out of place with him.

Therefore, it will be very difficult for Harmon to establish himself on the Spurs' coaching staff. But she still holds out hope for her assistant coaching career, because she hasn't forgotten that she and Pacers head coach Henson Bush Bush are still hopeful. Joe's conversation during last season's All-Star weekend, and their conversation on the phone a few days ago.

Although the media often uses the word "bastard" to describe Henson, Harmon believes that Henson is a trustworthy man. Because as a professional footballer, she knows very well that a manager who is not trustworthy cannot establish prestige in the dressing room.

Summer League began yesterday and she didn't get a call from the Pacers. But she didn't give up, as long as Henson could give her a chance, she firmly believed that she could impress that Chinese coach!

At seven o'clock in the evening, Becky. Hamon's cell phone rang. She excitedly took out her phone and looked at it, but was disappointed. Because the caller ID is a string of unfamiliar numbers, not Henson's name.

"Hey, this is Becky. Harmon. Harmon was a little helpless, but out of politeness, he answered the phone.

"Hello, ma'am. This is Indiana Pacers Basketball Operations President Larry. Bird, Coach Henson has recommended you to me for a long time. If so, can you schedule a meeting? I need to talk to you about being the interim assistant coach of the Pacers. ”

Harmon's mouth was wide open, and the surprise Henson gave her almost didn't knock her on the spot!

Can't you call yourself in person? Why do you have to call Larry. Bird called and jumped himself.

Now Becky. Harmon believed that Henson was indeed a jerk.
