Neil. Olhi didn't think that he would be a general manager of the Clippers, a figure who has been in the basketball circle for so many years, and would be sold by a little young marshal!

Although Henson led the Pacers to a historic O'Brien Cup last season, Olhi didn't think a head coach could do that!

In Orshy's view, in the whole league, as a head coach, there are only these people who can have a greater say in the team management: Popovich, George. Carl, Jerry. Sloan and Phil. Jackson.

And in this list, there are two people who have chosen to retire. Karl's influence is also gradually decreasing. Henson. Joe, a young man who is less than 35 years old, why does he think he can play with himself?

The next day, the news about the Pacers and the Clippers was reported by more reporters, and Olhi even leaked his trade plan to reporters.

"OJ: The Clippers are eager to use DeAndrew. Jordan, Eric. Bledsoe and the first two-round pick in 2014 traded for Paul. George and David. West. ”

"ESPN: Multiple reporters broke the news, and the two sides have begun formal discussions."

There's no doubt that Orsh also intends to put pressure on Henson by disrupting the Pacers' locker room with these deliberately unleashed remarks.

But Orsie couldn't do anything, and the Pacers' locker room wasn't affected at all. The level of trust between Henson and the players was far greater than Olhi had anticipated. Not everything in this business alliance is so commercial.

"For this offer, I still want Paul. George? Looking at the news on his phone and the revelations of major reporters, Henson smiled contemptuously. If you want to empty the gloves of the white wolf, then you have to find the right person, right?

In the afternoon, during the training session and the media session, the reporters naturally interviewed many people about these rumors in the morning. But without exception, journalists don't get any valuable news.

"Why haven't I ever heard of any of these things?" Paul looked confused at the camera.

"Deal? Who wants to trade? George? Which George? Stephenson's comic gave the reporters a rhetorical question.

"What do I think of this rumor? No opinion, I only care about the race in Los Angeles on the 27th. "Even George, the client, seems to be so indifferent to the rumors from the outside world.

Seeing that the players were so cold, the reporters finally had to find Henson in despair. Joe, the guy who is least likely to leak information. However, as soon as Henson spoke, all the reporters were stunned.

"I didn't say George was for sale, as long as the chips were enough, anyone could take Paul . George took away. ”

Suddenly, the entire training ground exploded. The reporters swarmed up and instantly surrounded Henson!

"So Coach Henson, what kind of chips do you think is appropriate!?"

"Have you considered an offer from the Clippers?"

Looking at the reporters like vicious dogs pounced, Henson's face did not change.

"Of course, I spoke with Orsh on the phone yesterday. I don't think the Clippers have any chips, no quantity and no quality, and not enough draft picks. The league doesn't allow trading first-round picks year after year, but if the Clippers are willing to give me multiple first-round picks every other year, I'll consider it. ”

"How many first-round picks do you want? Two? Three? Or four!? The reporters asked more and more questions, as if such a big news could really be touched by them.

Henson raised his right hand and touched his chin, "Thirty-two!" ”

The Chinese coach replied categorically.

"From now until 2077, if the Clippers give me a first-round pick every other year, Bird and I can consider it." Henson's face was serious, but the reporters froze in place, and Vogel, who was standing not far from Henson, almost didn't laugh out loud.

Thirty-two first-round picks, isn't that nonsense? The Celtics traded for Garnett that year, and they also had two first-round picks. What the is this deal, this is clearly humiliation! Your Clippers chips are going to have to take 32 first-round picks to trade Paul. George, I don't know how Orshy will feel when he hears the news.

"That bastard trainer!" Olhi angrily shook off his phone, and the Clippers general manager just swiped the news of Henson's interview 30 seconds ago.

Orsie inserted his fingers into his gray hair, he never imagined that he would be humiliated by a manager like this. First hung up the phone yesterday, and then today the lion opened his mouth......

From now until 2077, the Clippers will give the Pacers a first-round pick every other year...... No, this is not a lion's big opening at all, but an attitude: "Lao Tzu is teasing you." ”

He thinks it's a clever trick to deliberately leak information and media to put pressure on the Pacers, but for now, the Pacers have already seen through all of this.

However, after Henson's extremely insulting offer, the matter is not over. In a basketball program, the famous commentator Reggie. Miller said: "I've heard from some journalist friends that after the plan to trade George was ruthlessly rejected, Orsh went around asking for Jordan Jr. and Bledsoe. It seems that Orsi is determined to exchange these two people for a potential new star. ”

Henson will do this kind of thing. If you can pay Wojnarowski to set off smoke bombs, then I'll ask the respected Reggie. Miller! It's time for the Clippers to experience what it's like to be in the locker room.

The media is a double-edged sword, if you use it well, it can help you, but if you use it, it will also hurt you. Orxi, who has been walking the rivers and lakes for many years, is undoubtedly planted in the pit he dug this time......

On the afternoon of Nov. 26, the Pacers arrived at Los Angeles International Airport (LAA) in full force. Of course, the goal of the Pacers on this trip is not the Los Angeles Clippers, but the Lakers F4.

Tomorrow at 8 p.m., the defending champions vs. Lakers F4 game will kick off at the Staples Center. Although the Pacers' trip to Los Angeles has nothing to do with the Clippers, because of Henson's controversial statement two days ago, reporters still asked Henson questions about the Clippers over and over again.

Henson refused to answer any of them.

If you want to talk about business, you can sit down and talk about it first, which is the most basic courtesy. But Henson's trick of privately letting the media set off smoke bombs in an attempt to disrupt the Pacers' locker room is not used to Henson.

So for that, Henson didn't feel sorry. He even thinks that Olhi owes himself and George an apology! Do you want me to play with me first, or do you want me to respond to you gently?

And right now, Henson doesn't have time to care about the Clippers' "Los Angeles Second Team." The F4 match with the Lakers is imminent!

Although the Lakers have a 7-7 record so far, there is a big gap between it and the expected "82 consecutive wins if healthy". But against a team that has Kobe, Gasol, Howard and Nash at the same time, Henson is not careless.

What's more, the Lakers have shown signs of recovery in recent games. The Lakers have won five of their eight games since Nov. 10, and the Lakers' F4 run-in seems to be getting better.

With the Clippers, Henson is sure that he will be booed to death by the fans in Los Angeles, who have become the public enemy of Los Angeles. It would be too self-defeating to lose in front of this group of deep-pocketed guys. Moreover, the Pacers just lost to the Spurs, and Henson also wants to avoid the team's losing streak as much as possible.

So that night, in his hotel room, Henson convened an impromptu speech. According to Yi Jianlian's revelation to CCTV reporters, Henson's speech is like this.

"Give me a good rest in my room tonight and recuperate! Tomorrow, let's bloodied Los Angeles with those damn rumors! ”
