This is Henson's seventh season as head coach at the helm of the Pacers, and although there was a two-year gap in between, he is arguably the best coach of the second decade of the 21st century.

In the past seven seasons, he has seen too many joys and sorrows. He witnessed the formation of the Heat's Big Three, and also saw the Celtics' Big Three era disappear into the dust of history.

He's been through one crazy summer after another, and he's been through a lot of changes in the league.

But Henson says this year could be the craziest mid-term trade he's ever made.

Lakers and Anthony. Davis's eyebrows pressed down first. As far as the Raptors' few trades with the 76ers are concerned, they are heavy enough.

Once again, Henson was besieged by his opponents. There is no doubt that the trade between the Raptors and the 76ers is designed to contain the Pacers.

From day one in the league, Henson was a "public enemy" character. After all, no one wants to see a team that would otherwise be no threat suddenly rise.

This alliance is like this, there is only one piece of the cake, and the more people who divide it, the people who originally divided the cake will naturally be unhappy.

After that, the Pacers went from being a force to becoming a league leader. Undoubtedly, the alliance hegemon will attract more hatred. After all, the only way to reach the top is to defeat the alliance overlord.

So, now watching the Raptors and the 76ers and many other teams go to great lengths to bring themselves down, Henson feels a lot of pressure on the one hand. But on the one hand, I feel quite accomplished.

Just like those media said, the whole world is against itself, doesn't this just prove that you are powerful?

So Henson turned these pressures into motivation. Since it is the most powerful, it is natural to do the most powerful thing.

After the Raptors took Pau Gasol Jr. on Feb. 8, there was a week left before the start of All-Star Weekend. The Pacers have three games to play this week, against the Cavaliers, Hornets and Bucks.

In all three games, Henson met with fierce resistance. After all, teams across the league are now proud of their victory over the Pacers.

But the mighty defending champions didn't let them get their way, and Henson cleanly led his side to three straight victories, crushing the illusions.

In this way, Henson ushered in the last All-Star weekend of his career with an excellent record and super heat......

※※※

In the 2019 All-Star Weekend, on the side of the Eastern Stars, there are naturally many "Pacers productions".

In terms of starters, Antetokounmpo and Paul. George was selected for both. At least two people are named to the All-Star starters each year, and it's almost become a tradition for the Pacers. And in the Eastern Stars bench list, there is also Oladipo's name.

If you include Leonard, who used to play for the Pacers, then this year, three of the five Eastern Conference All-Star starters played under Henson.

Of course, it's not just the players who are getting the most attention from the Eastern Conference All-Stars this year, but Henson himself.

As the coach of the Eastern Stars, Henson was in the spotlight before the start of the season. While it's not the first time he's been the head coach of an All-Star team, it's the first time Henson has been so popular in an All-Star break.

After all, Henson is the only coach to be selected for the All-Star Game among the few men who will retire this year. It's the same, it's also a special one.

Wade and Dirk, the fan votes they received were naturally high. But limited by their current strength, they failed to get affirmation at the level of media voting. So, these two guys also lost the opportunity to participate in the last All-Star.

But later, the league took into account the emotions of the fans and specially arranged Wade and Dirk as "wild card players". In this way, this All-Star has become an all-star game with a particularly strong emotional atmosphere.

At first, Henson didn't pay much attention to it. After all, the All-Star Game is more of a stage for the players. An All-Star is a place where stars are needed to perform, and a head coach has no room for performance on the basketball court.

He wanted to refuse to participate again for physical reasons, but Adam. Xiao Hua said that Henson still sold him face.

Therefore, Henson's plan is to take a few days off during the All-Star break, take his family to Charlotte to play, and then travel when he sits in the dugout and watches the game.

However, when Henson arrived in Charlotte, he realized that this All-Star Game was far from being as simple as he thought.

As soon as Henson and his family stepped off the plane, he was surrounded by a large crowd of reporters and fans. Henson is stupid all of a sudden, just an All-Star game head coach, isn't it!?

At first, he thought that other stars had landed at the same time as him. But then I found out that these enthusiastic media and fans were coming for him.

Henson had no choice but to patiently sign autographs for the fans, and then slowly squeezed out. If Henson is looking for a celebrity to sign autographs, he definitely doesn't want the other party to be unkind. Thinking about it like this, Henson did not refuse any fan requests for autographs.

Finally got into the taxi, and Henson didn't have time to catch his breath, Larry. Bird called.

"What do you say? Press conference? What's the matter with me? Isn't that for the star players? ”

When Henson heard that he was going to a series of activities arranged by the NBA tomorrow, Henson immediately regretted it.

He regretted selling Xiao Hua's face, and he knew how good it would be if he directly refused to participate in the first place.

But this is something Henson had never thought of before, and it wasn't his first All-Star break, but there had never been a time when he was so busy as this year.

He didn't know what was going on when Henson's taxi drove into downtown Charlotte and he saw the official NBA posters about him.

It turned out that the alliance was binding itself to Wade and Dirk, and it was consumed as feelings.

Henson shook his head, this time, he was considered to be replaced by Adam. Xiao Hua is pitted.

But to say that he was cheated is actually not true. It's a hassle to sign autographs for fans and go to a press conference tomorrow, but it's a joy to be respected wherever you go.

In order to highlight Henson's last season and attract more attention to the All-Stars, the NBA official will naturally not let go of Henson's commercial value. But equally, Henson can feel his mark on the league.

In 7 years of coaching experience, this is the first time that Henson has suddenly gone from being a public enemy to a full-name idol......

"Dad, why is Charlotte all over your tracks?" Emily asked innocently, pointing to the huge posters outside the window.

"Daddy's traces don't just stay in Charlotte, baby. His traces will forever be preserved in every place in the world where there is basketball. Anjiali touched her daughter's head and answered the question for him.

Henson smiled, the feeling of being suddenly admired by thousands of people was actually quite amazing.

Although he is an All-Star this year, he will definitely not be able to have fun with his family in peace. But another way to spend All-Star Weekend......

Henson thinks it's interesting.
