503: A Complete Home
The 2015 draft was in the spotlight before it even began.
D'Angelo. Russell, Carl Anthony. Downs, Jalil. Okafor, Emmanuel. Moodier ......
These names have been talked about by fans long before the draft began. In addition, the former super giants Los Angeles Lakers also got a second pick in the draft this time, which made the attention of this draft skyrocket.
After all, the last time the Lakers got such a high draft pick was in 1982. The "chaotic entry" of the Los Angeles giants has made this draft full of highlights.
But none of the above has anything to do with the Indiana Pacers. Amid transfer rumors, the Pacers' third-place finish in the East this season only allowed them to get a first-round pick and a 22nd pick.
Those super talents, all have nothing to do with the Pacers. And the team's plan to trade draft picks upwards is also difficult to achieve. So the only thing Bird and Vogel can do this year is to find as good players as possible in the low picks.
However, how can such a player be easy to find? So this year, the Pacers' operation in the draft still hasn't attracted everyone's attention.
With the 22nd pick in the first round, the Pacers selected the tall forward Kevin Brown, a graduate of UCLA. Rooney. With the 40th pick in the second round, the Pacers picked Josh Jorge, an all-around guard from the University of Tennessee. Richardson.
These two guys, and D'Angelo. Russell, Carl Anthony. Compared to names such as Downs, they are not worth mentioning at all. Even in college, these two players did not show great talent. Their order has amply illustrated this point.
After all, this kind of thing is not every year when a star is born in a low pick.
But if the media knows that the Pacers' draft pick this year is in the retired Henson. Joe's "private suggestion", then it is estimated that the whole basketball circle will explode.
But even Henson's abilities are very limited. He confessed to Bird and Vogel, Kevin. Rooney and Josh. Richardson is not a star player. It's just that in such an order, they are the best choice, and they can at least use it.
This year's low rank is indeed that there is no gold mine. It's good to get two players who have a little bit of quality and help the team.
Bird and Vogel also listened to Henson's advice and chose Rooney over Richardson. The meal has to be eaten bite by bite, and the Pacers want to rebuild the glory of the year, which cannot be completed in a year or two.
When the NBA Draft was in full swing, Henson, who gave personal advice. Joe, however, has already started their honeymoon in Venice with his new wife, Angeli.
As Henson said, he doesn't hold any role with the Pacers. All he had in mind was a little bit of advice for the Pacers.
※※※
The morning sun shines through the windows, and the reflection of the Venetian river is even more dazzling.
Henson and Anjiali had just finished their "morning exercise", and the sexy beauty was lying next to the Chinese man, curled up like a sleepy kitten.
Both of them still had undried sweat on their bodies, but no one got up, and it seemed that they didn't want to end the warmth of the moment.
Since their wedding night, Henson and Angeli have not stopped "making people".
Both of them have a strong desire to have children and start a family, and Henson knows that he is not young. In October, he will be 36 years old.
If you don't hurry up and make a villain now, when will you wait?
So after the two of them went crazy all night yesterday, they woke up early in the morning and fought again. Sometimes Angeli can't help but wonder whether Henson is a professional player or a professional coach.
And Henson's vitality is so great that he doesn't look like a person who has had a heart problem at all.
"Henson......" the wife snuggled into her husband's arms, calling indistinctly.
"Huh?" Although he had just galloped across Angeli's body, Henson's hand still rubbed against her smooth skin.
"That day at the wedding, I met Leonard, Jimmy. Butler and Bird, they both went to talk to you alone, what did you say? Angeli held Henson's face in both hands and looked him in the eye.
"It's nothing, just reminiscing. How? Are you interested? ”
"No, I was just wondering if you would want to go back to work."
"Please, Ann. We're still on our honeymoon, and no one talks about work in Venice. Henson waved his hand and left the team for a year, in fact, he was already a little used to life without basketball.
"Then what do you say, in Venice, we should discuss?" Angeli smiled seductively and grabbed Henson's waist with her slender thighs.
"Love and peace, of course." As soon as Henson turned over, the two launched a new round of man-making movement.
What happened that morning was just one of the ordinary mornings of Henson and Angelie's honeymoon.
For the rest of the month, reporters occasionally snapped pictures of Henson and Angeli frolicking in Venice.
For the following month, the sweet figure of the two of them spread to almost every corner of Venice.
A distant view from the Roman Forum, a hug on a gondola, a kiss on the Bridge of Sighs, a group photo in Piazza San Marco......
Henson and Angeli unbridled to enjoy their romantic getaway in Venice, not shying away from being photographed by reporters.
What's wrong with letting the whole world know that they're happy now?
Such a day had never been experienced in Henson's previous life, and he experienced infinite happiness.
"It looks like their relationship is really good...... "The media can also hype up the two people kissing in the street at first.
But later it turned out that Henson and Anjiali just regarded this as a trivial thing, so they could only evaluate it like this.
The two finally returned to the United States in mid-July, ending their honeymoon. Angeli has to start a new round of work, and Henson has to start a long business venture.
Of course, in addition to this, Henson has one more thing that he didn't tell Angari on his honeymoon. This summer, his job isn't just about shooting ads and worrying about the sports drink brands he invests in.
"Ann, I'd like to go out with Bird this summer." On the second night after returning home, Henson decides to confess to Angeli.
"And Bird? Isn't he supposed to be busy? Angeli was busy in the kitchen, and when she heard Bird, she actually knew what Henson was up to.
This summer, the Pacers have been in terrible shape. Following Leonard, David . West also opted to leave San Antonio after completing a two-year contract.
The reason is simple, West still wants to win the championship. And now the Spurs are more championship-looking than the Pacers.
Subsequently, Yi Jianlian also announced that he would return to the CBA to claim the king. Because under the coaching of Vogel, Yi Jianlian can not get much playing time, which is undoubtedly contrary to his original intention.
Livingston joins defending champion Warriors as a free agent. Allen retired, Chris. Anderson joins the Cleveland Cavaliers to follow James......
The old team of the Pacers basically only has four players left: Paul, George, Green and Antetokounmpo. Why didn't Horford be counted? Because this summer, Horford, who has one year left on his contract, has also been involved in transfer rumors. So whether he will stay with the Pacers is also unknown.
With the Pacers in such big trouble, Henson can't afford to sit idly by. Therefore, Angeli knew exactly what Henson was thinking. But she asked knowingly, she wanted Henson to confess to herself.
"Go out with Bird...... It's fine. That is, help him...... As a friend, look for some business. Henson replied hesitantly.
"The business of trading players?"
"Hmm...... That's right. "Henson is ready to be rejected.
"Okay, then you go. Bird would be very grateful for your help. ”
"Huh?" Henson was taken aback, he didn't expect his wife to let himself go and "mess around" with Bird so happily.
"Eh, I'm your wife, and I know you very well. I know that pulling a basketball out of your life is as cruel as pulling water out of the life of a fish. I've never objected to you getting into basketball, Henson. The reason why I didn't let you touch basketball before was because I was afraid that your heart wouldn't be able to handle it. Angeli said, bringing dinner out of the kitchen.
"So, as long as it doesn't affect your health, help Bird do some negotiation work, I'm okay with it. I'm even very supportive of you, because there are always important things to do in a person's life. And that's basketball for you. ”
"Thank God for having such a reasonable wife as you." Henson hugged Angeli and pressed his head to her stomach.
"Don't thank me yet, Henson. Tomorrow, come with me to the hospital for a check-up. ”
"To the hospital? What happened to you? What's uncomfortable? ”
"I'm fine, I just feel like I'm ...... You know, I was supposed to be here a long time ago, but this month ......"
Looking at Anjiali's slightly red cheeks, Henson's eyes widened suddenly.
"You mean ......"
"Yes, I probably ...... I might be pregnant, Henson. ”
Henson jerked Angarie up and rushed into the courtyard of the cottage.
At that moment, he felt that he was really true and became the happiest man in the world.
At the age of 36, Henson. Joe, the man who has been adrift for half his life. He is finally going to have a home of his own.
A complete home with a wife, a husband, a father and children.
