Paul. George flanked the ball and Italian Gallinari was a little nervous. He kept his center of gravity as low as he could, lest he be overrun by the tall guard, who had already scored 27 points.

George looked up at the timer and began to dribble. Meanwhile, Henson stood on the sidelines with his hands folded over his chest, his brow furrowed. George. Karl, an old rascal, may not have a good temper, but he is really good at coaching. With such a lineup without superstars, the Nuggets are ranked in the top eight in the West this season, which is indeed very difficult.

At this time, 5.4 seconds to go until the end of the game, 101-100, the Denver Nuggets are only 5.4 seconds away from ending the Pacers' 19-game winning streak.

But Henson doesn't understand it that way, and in his opinion, those 5.4 seconds represent the distance between the Pacers and a 20-game winning streak!

When the time on the timer passed the number 4, George suddenly accelerated to break through! Thanks to Henson's ongoing training and the effect of the badge bonus and the "pre-season training camp" badge, George's improvement on the ball-handling offense this season has been by leaps and bounds. George himself has big steps and fast speed!

After bursting into the mid-range position, George suddenly pulled up and was about to shoot! Gallinari's reaction was half a beat slower, and Iguodala came to make up for it!

However, in the air, with little time left, George flicked his wrist and turned his throw into a pass in the air! Staying calm when it matters are not something that all stars possess. However, George is such a player with a big heart.

The basketball crossed the gap between Iguodala and Gallinari and was sent to Leonard, who cut inside the basket. If you put it last season and saw Leonard holding the ball at a critical moment, then George. Karl can already start celebrating the victory.

But this season, Leonard has proven more than once that he can score!

The long arm held up the basketball, and Leonard tossed it lightly, a move he had practiced countless times with Paul on the training court.

"Half-Orc" Farid really came at like a beast, and his terrifying bounce was enough to keep any shot out. But Leonard's throw arc was very tricky, almost grazing Farid's hand and falling backwards.

Capping failed! At the same time, the rebounds glowed red. George. Carl stared at the orange basketball and watched in despair as it spun in the air before crashing into the net!

"Lore! Lore! Lore! 20 wins in a row! God, this is a amazing team! "Time seemed to stand still for a second, but after a second, the entire Pepsi Center was boiling!

That's right, even Nuggets fans can't help but get excited when they see this scene. Lore, 20 consecutive wins, the magic of the Pacers continues!

After the successful kill, fans saw Leonard's excitement for the first time. The young man, who was like a "facial paralysis", smiled and went straight to the bench, bringing Henson, who had his arms raised. Joe took him into his arms.

He knows very well that he was able to complete the stunner and lead the team to win the 20th consecutive game, all thanks to this Chinese coach!

"Kawaii, I need you to make the last shot!" This is what Henson said to Leonard dozens of seconds ago. George breaks through to draw the defense and Leonard cuts in to catch the ball...... None of this was played on the spot, but Henson had already arranged it!

"Thank you, Chief, thank you!" Leonard whispers in Henson's ear that a role player gets a slam shot? This kind of thing may only happen with the Pacers.

Because in Henson's eyes, Leonard is not a role player at all. It's just that the time for him to emerge has not yet come.

"Don't thank me, it's your own victory." Henson patted Leonard on the shoulder, 20 wins in a row, it's a dream......

After the game, George. Karl was naturally very angry. While there was nothing wrong with the final killing, Karl wasn't going to admit defeat easily. Therefore, he even brought out a controversial penalty in the third quarter of the game to tell the story: "If it weren't for that shot, the Pacers wouldn't have had a chance to kill at all!" The league wanted to create a super team, and we became the victims! ”

Carl Sr. was still as irritable as ever, and the reporters were extremely excited about Henson's response. Originally, there was a grudge between the Nuggets and the Pacers this season, and the "Sanda Tournament" between Paul and McGee and Lawson had just passed.

But Henson, who won 20 straight wins, faced George. Carl's words are not disrespectful, but he is unexpectedly "well-behaved".

"George. Coach Karl was amazing, he almost made me suffer. ”

"The Nuggets are playing well, they're one of the most underrated teams this season."

"I'm happy to win 20 in a row and the team will keep going."

At the press conference, Henson neither sarcastically mocked Carl's old rival nor bragged about his achievements. He kept smiling and using the right words the whole time, as if he were a different person.

No way, who makes Henson feel good?

Henson was in a good mood for two reasons, first, after this game, the Pacers could finally embark on their way home with a proud 20-game winning streak.

Second, after returning to Indianapolis, Henson will have the first time of his career...... First endorsement collaboration.

It's not uncommon for NBA stars to endorse well-known brands, but NBA head coaches endorse clothing brands, and as far as Henson knows, there really hasn't been one before.

Maybe it's going to be an amazing experience.

Bravo Italian Restaurant is a well-known restaurant chain in the United States. As the name suggests, it is precisely because their Italian cuisine is so authentic that it can achieve the scale of a national chain.

There's also a Bravo Italian restaurant in Indianapolis, and today, the entire restaurant is staffed as if it's about to go through a "big war."

At this time, the entire restaurant was empty, and only a white-haired old man sat in the middle seat, studying the menu. The waiter stood straight beside him, unsmiling.

From these scenes, it is not difficult to see the peculiarity of this guest.

Just then, the door of the restaurant was opened by a waiter who said "welcome" in Italian.

The white-haired old man, who was reading the menu, turned his head and smiled at the man who hurried into the restaurant.

The person who came was none other than the Chinese head coach who is now popular in the league and has just led the team to the best 20-game winning streak in team history, and the winning streak is likely to continue. Joe!

"I'm sorry, George. Mr. Armani, I didn't expect a traffic jam! Henson walked up to the white-haired old man, bent down slightly and stretched out his right hand.

"It's okay, I've just arrived, sit down, Henson." The old man shook Henson's hand casually, and it seemed that his personality was not as serious as it seemed.

That's right, the white-haired old man in front of him is none other than the famous Italian fashion designer Giorgio. Armani! Although Henson is not very interested in the fashion industry, Armani's name, even for those who are not interested in the fashion industry, surely knows it.

It's as if even people who don't watch basketball know for sure that Michael. Jordan the same.

Born in Piacenza, Italy, Armani studied medicine and photography, and worked as a menswear designer in Ceretti, who founded Giorgio Armani in 1975. And now, Armani has become one of the loudest brands in the fashion industry and an internationally renowned luxury brand.

Giorgio Armani didn't come to Indianapolis to watch the game, of course, but for a very pure purpose — to find a unique spokesperson for his brand, and that person was sitting in front of him.

Henson himself is a young coach and is only 33 years old this year, which is an advantage that no other coach in the league has. Because he is still young, Henson's figure is well maintained, and although his facial features are not comparable to those entertainment stars, his unique confident temperament and youthful face still make him very attractive.

Armani had seen Henson frown on the sidelines of the court countless times with his hands on his chest before he made the decision to make him a spokesperson. In his opinion, Henson on the sidelines is a model!

Think of having a high-profile and well-imaged coach coach in an Armani suit every night in the world's most talked-about basketball league. Needless to say, we all know how much drainage this will bring to Armani.

The number of times Henson is featured on live cameras at each game is no less than that of the league's superstars. With so many footage in one game, it's undoubtedly much more cost-effective than running a TV commercial.

The NBA league has strict restrictions on what players can wear, and most stars are not allowed to wear their favorite sports brands to the court. Clothes and various protective gear can only be provided by Adidas.

But for coaches, the league doesn't have any restrictions. Whatever brand of suit you want to wear, it's up to you.

"Mr. Armani...... Why me? Henson scratched his head embarrassedly, he really couldn't figure out how he could have anything to do with internationally renowned luxury brands.

"If I say, I like your taste in dressing, would you believe it? There are a lot of players in the NBA who are full of personality, but if I had to say, there aren't many coaches who are full of personality, and you are one of them. ”

"But a lot of people hate me, and if you ask me to be your spokesperson, I'm afraid I'll get you into a lot of trouble." Henson smiled self-deprecatingly, except in Indianapolis, he estimated that he would be beaten up for no reason when he walked down the street.

"Hate is only one aspect, on the other hand, people want to pay attention to you. Hate, it's just the emotion they get after paying attention to you. And this emotion can be changed. By the way, Henson, I heard that you and your girlfriend are planning to have a wedding in the summer? ”

"Uh......"

"Hahahaha, I know Anjiali's father, so don't be surprised, I didn't ask around about your private affairs." Giarmani hurriedly waved his hand.

"Yes, sir, there is a plan."

"Marriage is a big deal in my life, Henson. I know, you and An Jiali are very busy with work and study, presumably the wedding dress matter has not been done yet, right? It's okay, I can design a suit and wedding dress for you myself, and I will give you a wedding gift. ”

"Thank you so much, George. Mr. Armani! "Henson was a little flattered, George. Giorgio Armani personally designed her own wedding dresses and suits? You can't buy this kind of thing with money!

"Then, about the contract, call someone to talk to you in a few days. So, we have reached a preliminary agreement? "George. Giorgio Armani raised his glass.

"I am very honored, Mr. Armani."

"Bang dang!"

Two goblets gently collided with each other.
