The NBA's summer transfer story is wonderful, but this summer, especially from mid-June to July, is destined to belong to the World Cup.

As the world's largest sport, football has a global fan base that cannot be compared with basketball. And the popularity of the World Cup is even higher than any other sporting event in the world. During the World Cup, even people who have never watched football will follow the trend to watch several World Cup games.

Isn't there such a joke on the Internet? Some fans only watch a football game in four years.

As a result, Stephenson's entanglement with the Pacers came to an end for the time being, and no one cared about Anthony and James' whereabouts. Now, the World Cup, is the theme of this summer.

At the beginning of June, one of the most watched matches in the group stage of the World Cup was naturally a showdown between Italy and England, two traditional European powerhouses. Therefore, this match, which took place at the Amazon Arena in Manaus, attracted the attention of all fans around the world.

Before the start of the game, England's main striker Wayne . During the warm-up, Rooney was told that he needed to take a picture with a special audience. Rooney was not surprised by such a request. After all, the World Cup is the world's highest-profile sporting event, and it will even attract many celebrity fans. Therefore, Rooney has long been surprised to take photos with some celebrities before the game.

He put aside his work for a while, but followed the England German publicist across the pitch to the halfway line.

The Brazilian afternoon sun was a bit harsh, and he could only see the man's face by squinting. Rooney was surprised when he recognized who he was about to take a picture with.

"Is it really him?" Rooney smiled and asked the publicist next to him.

"Yes, it's him. The whole world was looking for that guy, but I didn't expect him to come to Brazil. ”

"Then we're really lucky, I hope that guy can bring good luck to the England team."

As he spoke, Wayne Rooney and the England publicist walked up to that particular fan. Seeing Rooney, the man smiled with a friendly and warm smile, and then held out his right hand.

"It's a real blessing, and to tell you the truth, it's the first time I've been so close to a football star." The man made a joke and shook Rooney's hand.

"What do you think of the weather in Brazil?" Rooney also responded calmly, and as an Englishman, Rooney naturally likes to use the topic of weather as an opening statement. It's like when Chinese meet each other, they always like to ask each other if they have eaten.

"It's great, better than most places in the U.S., and today was a really good day to play." The man looked up at the sky, the golden holiday in Brazil, what a treat.

"Sir, this is the England shirt and we are very honoured to be able to give you Wayne Rooney's shirt. Come on, gentlemen, let's take a group photo. ”

After the two exchanged pleasantries, the publicist handed Henson a white England national team shirt. Henson and Wayne Rooney stood side by side, then lifted their jerseys at the same time and snapped a picture.

This is the end of the PR campaign. After thanking the special fan, Rooney went back to warm up and the man returned to the audience. But instead of following Rooney, the cameras of some reporters at the scene followed the Chinese man in an Armani suit who was returning to the stands.

Henson, who has disappeared for so long. Joe suddenly appeared, can the reporters not be excited?

"Finished shooting?" Back in the stands, Angeli asked with a smile and wiped Henson's sweat.

"After the shooting, Rooney's hairline was higher than I thought it would be." Henson smirked at Angelie.

"Aren't you an Italian fan? How did you run to take a picture with the England team? ”

"They invited me to take a group photo, and I didn't want to be found out if I could. Perhaps, England thought I could bring them some good luck. After all, I've just won a championship. Henson spread his hands.

"But now that the whole world knows you're in Brazil, are we going to leave here?"

"No," Henson shook his head, "don't worry, Brazil is so big, no one can find us, no one." It's a holiday for both of us, and I assure you, it's just the two of us. ”

After saying that, the Chinese coach put his arm around his fiancée's shoulder, and the two leaned together, waiting for the game to start.

In the end, Henson did not bring good fortune to England. Because from the beginning to the end, he was cheering for Italy.

Although he is a basketball coach, Henson is also a football fan, but he is not as obsessed with basketball as he is with basketball.

In football, his favorite club team is the Italian giants Juventus, and his favorite national team is naturally Italy. After all, the staffing of Juventus and the Italian national team mostly coincides.

Leaning on Mario. Balotelli scored a goal in the fifth minute of the second half as Italy won the crucial group stage 2-1. Looking at Balotelli's arrogant appearance, Henson seemed to see Stephenson, who was also unruly and a little brain-pumping.

I just don't know if that guy is letting go of himself now. After all, from now on, there will be no one in the locker room who can hold him down.

Unbeknownst to Henson, Stephenson was close to signing with the Hornets, formerly the Bobcats. During this time, Henson has not paid attention to the news in basketball. Therefore, Henson no longer knows much about the great changes that have taken place in the alliance after he left.

On the point of cohesion, Henson underestimated himself. Once he leaves, the Pacers will gradually disperse......

After the end of this high-profile World Cup match, the sports media in the United States only brushed aside the game, but instead used a lot of pen and ink on Henson's appearance.

"Henson. Joe shows up in Brazil! The mysterious coach has finally shown his face! ”

"Where's the next stop? Welcome to participate in Prediction Henson. Quiz with prize for Joe's itinerary. ”

"Henson. Joe into football? Popovich: Don't guess. ”

For a while, news related to Henson suddenly bombarded the United States. Don't say it, once Henson's whereabouts were exposed, someone really found him. After all, in this age of informatization, everyone is almost transparent. Whether you can find someone or not depends entirely on whether you have the corresponding means.

Ordinary fans certainly have no means to find Henson, but that doesn't mean that major NBA players can't find him.

※※※

On an ordinary afternoon in late June, in a small villa in a wealthy neighborhood of Brazil, Henson was supposed to swim in the pool and then prepare to hail a taxi to find a quiet place to eat authentic Brazilian barbecue.

But all this was broken by a doorbell. Despite some impatience, Henson managed to keep his emotions under control. He told himself not to be angry. Breaking your heart for the sake of anger at these impolite bastards would be more than worth the loss.

So, a leisurely afternoon, it suddenly turned into a very business meeting. Henson, dressed in large pants and a white tank top, sat on a recliner in the courtyard. Across from him was a man in a suit and leather shoes, wearing gold-rimmed glasses, and always with an official smile on his face.

Los Angeles Lakers Assistant President of Basketball Affairs, Bullock. Austin. Holding the business card in his hand, Henson read the identity of the man in the suit.

"It's me, sir." The man smiled, he had actually introduced himself as he walked through the door. Otherwise, Henson wouldn't have let him in.

When he saw the position of "Assistant to the President of Basketball", Henson knew that this guy was Jim. Bath people. As we all know, now the Lakers are mainly led by Jenny Brown. Buzz and Jim. The two siblings were in charge, one in business and the other in basketball. So the "assistant to the president of basketball" must be Jim. Someone sent by Bass.

is worthy of the Lakers, and it is easy to find yourself.

On the surface, the Lakers are still in power with the Buss family. But in fact, Jim and Jenny have already had a conflict and cannot work together at all.

So at this time, the management of the Lakers is very chaotic, and the situation of infighting is very serious. Jim. If Bass doesn't get good grades in a few years, the rights and positions will naturally be taken by Jenny. Bath replaced. Maybe that's why Jim sent someone to find him.

After all, Henson had a history of bringing the Pacers back to life.

"In fact, the purpose of my trip is to represent Jim. Mr. Bass, I cordially invite you, Mr. Henson, to coach in Los Angeles. We know you've just announced your retirement. But great as Michael. Jordan and 'Magic' Johnson, among others, have had the experience of retiring and then coming back. In the coaching circle, the "Zen Master" Phil. Jackson has also had a comeback after retiring. I think you, who are as great as they are, probably wouldn't refuse the call of basketball. Los Angeles is a big city, and it's good for you as well as your fiancée's job. And, as Mr. Jim said, he's going to make a contract that satisfies you, a contract with the highest salary in the coaching industry! ”

Henson guessed correctly, and within a few minutes of sitting down, the Lakers representative stated the purpose of the trip.

"First of all, sir, I am far inferior to Michael. Jordan and Johnson are great. Secondly, I'm retired, really retired. Tell Jim. Mr. Buss, I'm not targeting the Lakers, I'm not going to coach any team. I know the Lakers are having a hard time right now, but I can't help it. No nonsense, not even politeness, Henson directly rejected the other party.

The other party was obviously a little surprised, there was actually someone in this world who could refuse the call of Los Angeles! But the look of surprise only flickered, and soon, his face returned to his official smile and composure.

"I left my business card here, Coach Henson. If you change your mind one day, feel free to call me. Our summer is still long, isn't it? ”

"yes, our summer is still growing."

Henson smiled slightly, Brock. Austin knew it was time for her to go, too.

"You rejected him?" When the door was closed, Angeli walked out and sat on Henson's lap.

She is very polite, so when the two men were talking, Anjiali did not come forward to disturb her. But she was glad that Henson kept his promise and that he didn't embrace basketball.

"Why say yes? I'm retired. Henson said as he dishonestly untied An Jiali's underwear, "Besides, the Lakers management is in such a mess right now, I don't want to make a fuss." ”

"Alright," Angarie smiled and patted Henson's hand, "Let's go to dinner first, wait for me, I'll go change my clothes." ”

After Angeli got up, Henson slapped her ass maliciously. Of course, this was exchanged for Anjiali's white eyes.

When Angeli went upstairs, Henson fell into deep thought again. The Los Angeles Lakers are not the first team to come to Henson. Since his whereabouts were revealed in Brazil, not counting the Lakers, three teams have sent representatives to find him. However, he rejected them all.

In the face of the invitations of these teams, Henson did not have any waves in his heart. All along, he held back a sentence and didn't say it.

"Even if I do come back, I'm just going to lend a helping hand to the Pacers. What's more, I have no plans to make a comeback at all. ”

The sun in Brazil is so warm.
