The NBA championship is the pursuit of many people's lives. Although every year, dozens of people have the opportunity to win the championship. But throughout the history of the NBA, there are countless great people who have never won a championship in their careers.

The most famous of these is undoubtedly the former "Utah Twins" Carl. Malone and John. Stockton, the two played great career results in the 90s, but after all, they could only be pressed under Jordan's feet, and they never won the championship for the rest of their lives.

And the jazz legend who coached them, Jerry, who is now suffering from Alzheimer's disease. Sloan, one of the greatest coaches in NBA history, has never had a championship ring of his own.

There are many other great players or coaches like them, George. Carl, Aaron. Iverson, Tracy. McGrady, Yao Ming...... For many, winning a championship once in a lifetime is satisfying.

However Henson. Joe, who didn't know what he was supposed to do ten years ago, entered the NBA through the introduction of a college professor, but got his fourth championship ring this summer!

The four-time championship also allowed Henson to draw with Popovich, and together with the old man, he became the most successful head coach in the league.

But you have to know that Popovich has been coaching the Spurs for 21 years. And Henson coached the Pacers, not counting the two years he retired, but only the fifth year......

The next day, Henson woke up in a messy hotel room. Staring at the white ceiling, Henson suddenly felt a tingling in his head. No doubt everyone drank too much last night.

After spilling champagne in the dressing room, Henson took everyone to the local Auckland nightclub for a party, a promise he had made to his players.

Compared to San Antonio, the winning city a few years ago, the Bay Area has a lot more nightclubs. San Antonio, like the Spurs, is a slightly more stereotypical city. The Bay Area, on the other hand, is more like the Golden State Warriors, and the city is alive and well even in the middle of the night.

The last thing Henson remembers was that he was helped into a taxi by George, and then Stephenson's teaser took the two women back to the room.

However, Henson didn't stop Stephenson this time, the season is over, why not let the players indulge for a few days?

It's just that Henson is very puzzled by Stephenson's behavior of taking two people every time......

This guy barely played much during the finals, so could it be that he wanted to vent his energy in this area?

Henson shook his head with a smile and sat up from the bed, feeling dizzy.

But soon, Henson regained his senses. Because the golden O'Brien Cup was sitting on Henson's bedside table at this time.

Henson picked up the trophy and looked at it, and the cold surface immediately made Henson energetic.

He looked at the base of the trophy, which read "World Champion 2016-2017".

World Champion ...... Henson smiled and opened the curtains to look at the sunny Auckland sky. For the past two years, Henson has dreamed of coming back and winning another title. And now, dreams have become reality.

World champions, they're world champions again. And there is no doubt that this created the most basic conditions for the opening of another dynasty.

By the time the Pacers woke up and dined at the hotel restaurant, it was already lunchtime. The players looked very tired, and the Stephenson guy was walking with his hips on his back, and God knows how much he made yesterday.

The players were talking and laughing, and it was clear that they were still not satisfied with yesterday's revelry. But whenever he sees Henson, he will nod respectfully and shout, "Boss".

Henson also smiled and responded to everyone, since he really didn't have an appetite for drinking too much yesterday, and didn't want to eat those big fish and meat, Henson sat down next to Nash with a bowl of vegetable salad.

"Looks like you had a great time last night." Nash looked at the "painful" Henson and smiled gloatingly.

"It's a shame you didn't come, Steve. Yesterday ...... "Although I was very happy yesterday, but when I thought of the uncomfortable feeling of today after being high, Henson shook his head again, "You didn't come yesterday, it was the right choice." ”

Last night's carnival, naturally, it was impossible for everyone to participate. Henson was the only member of the coaching staff who joined the revelry, and the others returned to the hotel after the championship ceremony.

After all, McMillan has a big generation gap with the players. Harmon couldn't get up in the men's heap either. Fraser and Nash really don't like that kind of noisy occasion.

However, looking at the entire league, the coach who can go to nightclubs with the players after winning the championship may be Henson.

If Mr. Popovich does the same, the next day the Spurs team doctor will probably announce that Popovich will miss next season's training camp due to injury......

So, Henson is a coach like no other, both on and off the court.

"Henson, you'd better be careful with your body. After all, this place almost killed you before. Nash said, gesturing to his heart.

"Don't worry, Steve, once in a while it's out of the way. Moreover, I already have a health plan, hahahahaha. ”

"Wellness plan? Let's hear it. Nash was instantly interested, after all, after getting older, Nash also felt that his body was becoming more and more unwell.

"Well, it's nothing special, it's just that I plan to retire at the age of 40 and no longer do this kind of high-intensity work. Turning work into a side hustle and life into a main business, I think this is the most correct way to maintain health. ”

Henson said, eating the vegetable salad lightly. Nash, beside him, widened his eyes in surprise.

"What did you say!? Retiring at 40? ”

Can Nash not be surprised? As a professional player, Nash played until he was 40 years old. And as a manager, 40 is not yet the beginning for most people. But what Henson is thinking about is retiring at the age of 40!

If he is just a coach who does nothing, it is not surprising that Henson will retire even at the age of 30. Because there was no team to ask him, he had no choice but to leave the industry. But Henson, this guy, just won a championship trophy yesterday!

"That's right," Henson was much more relaxed than Nash's surprise, "retiring at the age of 40, a complete retirement." I want to dedicate the rest of my life to my family, Steve. This is something I decided when I chose to come back. Of course, only you know about this at the moment, so don't let the news go. ”

Henson smiled quietly like a thief, and Nash nodded, not asking any more.

If Henson really wants to retire completely at the age of 40, then he only has two seasons left to play at most. Will Henson leave himself empty-handed in these two seasons?

With Henson's personality, most likely not. The Golden State Warriors and the Cleveland Cavaliers, as well as all the other teams that have championship ideas. In the next two years, there may be no harvest......

Because even if Henson wants to go, he will go vigorously! For example, to start a second dynasty and then leave......

That afternoon, the Pacers' charter plane landed at Indianapolis International Airport. As he did a few years ago, Henson and his players were surrounded by reporters as soon as they got off the plane.

As Henson, who helped the Pacers win the championship as soon as he returned, the limelight directly overshadowed Antetokounmpo, the FMVP winner.

Departing from the airport, the Pacers' bus, led by the police, appeared at the Bankers' Living Arena. Along the way, there were countless Pacers fans cheering them on.

The whole scene was already like a rehearsal for the championship parade.

Finally, as is the old custom, Henson walked into the Pacers' showroom with the players holding the championship trophy.

Henson remembers the first time he visited the showroom, there were very few exhibits in the room. In addition to an Eastern Conference championship trophy, there are only a few painless honors to make up.

And now, there are 3 glittering O'Brien Cups in it. Now, Henson has brought a fourth seat here!

"I'm going to paint a huge portrait of you on a wall in the future, because you're one of the Pacers' honors." Stephen, who had been waiting in the showroom for a long time. Simon and Vivek both rushed to hug Henson.

The Indiana Pacers' Hall of Honor, glittered with brilliance because of Henson's presence. Even Bird is ashamed of this. He has brought many accolades to the Boston Celtics, but has never won a championship in his hometown.

And Henson did.

"If you really want to do that, you'd better find a more famous painter, I don't want to be painted too ugly by others." Henson made a joke and handed the championship trophy to the showroom staff.

Once the trophy has been cleaned up, it will become part of the room.

I wonder if when I'm 40 years old, I'll be able to add two more championship trophies here and make myself a part of the Pacers' glory?

Henson didn't tell anyone about his plans except Nash. But Henson thinks that the title of "Indianapolis' basketball godfather" is still quite gimmicky.

Become a legend before the age of 40? Well, let's start with this overall championship, with this year's draft!
