Defeated Mark in the Bay Area. Jackson's Warriors followed, although the Pacers didn't play for two days. But that doesn't mean Henson can stay in the Bay Area longer, after all, no games don't mean the team doesn't have to train. And two days later, the Pacers will face another round of back-to-back matchups. Therefore, it is also impossible for Henson to give the team a holiday.

So he and Angelie stayed overnight, and early in the morning of December 2, Henson returned to Indianapolis with the team. After returning to Indianapolis, all the players were dragged directly into the stadium by the team bus, and they could not return home, so they started training directly.

Training is definitely indispensable, even if the Pacers have just returned from the Bay Area. The only thing Henson can do is to end training early today and give the players more rest.

Since the team only played back-to-back games yesterday, the amount of training today is actually not very large, and it is mainly recovery training.

There were no tactical drills, and there was no confrontational training. Therefore, Henson does not have to be on the sidelines to supervise all the time, and the trainer is solely responsible for the recovery training.

As is customary, at three o'clock in the afternoon, Vogel helped Henson make a cup of coffee and prepare it to be delivered to the office. The two coaches then talk about the situation of the team and make a rough plan for tomorrow's training.

At this time, Vogel knocked on the door and walked into Henson's office, and Henson must have been studying the game footage. But today, when Vogel saw Henson reading a fashion magazine, he couldn't help but rub his eyes.

Either Henson is crazy or he is blind!

"Uh...... When did you become interested in the fashion industry. Vogel sat down across from Henson in surprise and put his coffee down.

"It's nothing, just flip through it." Henson put down the magazine and waved his hand disappreciatively, "The day after tomorrow to fight the Bulls, the day after tomorrow to beat the Trail Blazers, this round of back-to-back is really head-on-head." ”

"Henson, are you going to get married?" Vogel didn't eat this set, and in one sentence he debunked the fact that Henson was ready to change the subject.

"Uh...... What did you say? ”

"Don't pretend, a big man is holding a fashion magazine full of wedding dresses and reading it with relish, but don't say you're thinking about tactics in front of the magazine." Vogel picked up Henson's magazine and shook it, the contents of which had betrayed Henson.

"What are you talking about? Tie the knot? Who wants to get married? At this point, Stevens walked into the office as well.

"Married!? Coach Henson is getting married! Then, Henson heard Stephenson shouting outside the door.

Stephenson had just come out of the power room and passed by the office door. As everyone knows, I overheard the sensitive word "marriage".

And after he shouted, the people in the entire training ground came over in one go.

"Boss, you're getting married!?"

Looking at the group of expectant men outside the office door, Henson held his forehead.

What the fuck are these pig teammates......

"I think I should go to the Netherlands for my honeymoon! The tulips and windmills there are romantic, and women must love it! ”

"You're old-fashioned, Ayr, you should go to Dubai and enjoy a life of spending a lot of money. Think about it, and how enjoyable it is to stay with your new wife in one of the best hotels in the world, without being disturbed by the outside world! ”

"Don't listen to them, sir. If I were you, I'd find a quiet cottage by the sea. What could be sweeter than quietly enjoying a world for two? ”

On the plane to Chicago, Henson's face was covered in black lines. Because everyone in the team is discussing "where should I go for my honeymoon...... Are you mistaken, I'm not interested in this topic at all...... Why are you able to talk so much about yourself?

"I say, everybody, ......," after a long time, Henson finally spoke.

"Can you, put my honeymoon aside and think about what we're going to do tonight? Think about the tactics I've told you, think about the precautions......"

It wasn't until Henson lodged a "protest" that the discussion on the topic of honeymoons finally ended.

Stephenson's big mouth is really a master who always likes to cause trouble for himself. If he hadn't shouted unscrupulously yesterday, would he be able to do these things now?

Of course, when it comes to the Chicago Bulls, the players are immediately serious. After all, this is the Pacers' old rival in the East.

This season, the Bulls have been in very bad shape. The reason is also well known – they lost their youngest MVP, Derek. Ross.

Rose has been actively recovering from an injury he suffered in the first round of the playoffs last season. And in May, the Bulls officials announced that Rose would miss the entire 12-13 season.

The anterior cruciate ligament of the left leg was torn, and for a professional player, the injury was almost fatal. Unless 100% healed, there is no way to come back. The expected recovery period for this surgery is 12 months, which means that Rose will not be able to play until May '13.

At that time, whether the Bulls had any games or not had to be said for another matter. Therefore, it is almost impossible for the youngest MVP to meet the fans this season.

It is precisely because of the loss of Rose and the fact that the Bulls did not have any major reinforcements in the summer, so the strength of this team that swept the East in the first two seasons is seriously discounted.

Last season, the Bulls, one of only three teams in the league to have 50 wins, were eliminated in the first round after losing Rose, which shows how much this team relies on Rose.

The loss of Rose from the start of the season underscores the importance of Rose. So far this season, the Bulls have a measly 8-7 record. The Bulls' goal has also changed from competing for a championship at the beginning to fighting for the playoffs.

But even so, the Pacers' players haven't let their guard down in the slightest. It's true that the Bulls aren't as strong as they were in the previous two seasons. But if the Bulls can't win a Rose Pacer, it's even more humiliating.

So, the players are more vigilant than before. They can't afford to lose this kind of game!

Seeing that the players were quiet one by one, Henson also breathed a sigh of relief. There is not much to say about this game against the Bulls, and last season's Thibodeau offense relied heavily on Rose's individual ability, and after losing Rose, the Bulls couldn't even find an offensive core.

Lohr. Deng? Henson admits the English striker is a fantastic player. But as the core of the offense, it's still a little bit less meaningful.

So as long as the Pacers themselves don't take it lightly, there's no problem if they want to get out of Chicago in their entirety.

It's also amazing to say that Henson's first season in charge of the team was eliminated by the Bulls in the playoffs. And now it's only been a long time, and the Bulls can't be considered an opponent anymore......

Henson is more worried about the second game of a back-to-back than the Chicago Bulls, at home against the Portland Trail Blazers!

When it comes to the Trailblazers, the first thing that comes to mind is probably Brandon. Roy and Greg. Oden. These two awe-inspiring players almost gave the Trail Blazers hope of a revival, but in the end, they both fell in injury pain.

But after a few years of hard work, the Trail Blazers have actually shed the shadow of the Roy Oden era.

LaMarcus. Aldridge's growing maturity and French striker Nicolas. Batum's rise, coupled with this year's draft picks from the Trail Blazers, likes Lillard and Henson's favorite Wesley. The addition of Matthews has allowed the Trail Blazers to accumulate good potential and immediate combat power.

Although so far this season, the Trail Blazers' 8-10 record seems to be inferior to the Bulls. But a closer look shows that most of the time, the Trail Blazers are within five points of winning.

Against the Thunder, the Trail Blazers lost by just four points after Durant scored 33 points. Against the Spurs, if not Gary. Neil scored a game-high 27 points, and Popovich was expected to capsize in the Portland gutter.

The Trail Blazers' resilience is very strong, they are not easy to be beaten by strong teams, and can often drag the game to the decisive moment at the last minute. If the last few offenses are not handled well, the Trail Blazers will make you pay the price of defeat.

Thinking of this, Henson immediately turned on the computer he was carrying.

Vogel didn't care at first, after all, Henson hadn't been on the plane for a day or two studying the game footage. But upon seeing what Henson had studied, Vogel's eyes widened.

"What are you doing?" Vogel asked, surprised.

"Watch the video." Henson replied lightly, as if he felt that there was nothing wrong with what he was doing.

This guy, he watched neither the Bulls nor the Trail Blazers, but he watched the Mark. Jackson's Elevator Door Tactics!

Vogel scratched his head, what the hell is this guy Henson doing this time......
