August is usually a boring month for basketball fans. There are no games to watch this month, and the NBA's most exciting "bloody transfer series" time has passed.

But this summer, things were different. Because the biggest deal in the league happened in August.

On August 11, the NBA officially announced that the Magic team is the center and has been blocked in the first round of the playoffs for two consecutive seasons. Howard, through a four-way trade, became a Laker as he wished.

Including Nash, who was just traded to Los Angeles last month, the Lakers have formed their own F4 group after continuing the Miami Big Three!

This deal caused an uproar around the world, the Lakers were originally a very competitive team, with Kobe Bryant and Gasol, plus the ball control master Nash and super center Howard, the media have ridiculed that if the Lakers are healthy, they may be able to win 82 consecutive wins next season!

Of course, this deal undoubtedly sends a message to fans - the era of superstar huddles has officially arrived!

The 2012 Lakers F4 was not the same as the previous disappointing F4, when Malone and Payton both went to Los Angeles at the end of their careers. But Howard, he's in his prime! Kobe and Gasol are not like the "Flyers" and "Sharks" of the year, and the only one on the entire Lakers team who can be called at the end of his career is Nash.

Therefore, people are very optimistic about the composition of F4 for the Lakers this time. Howard's joining the Lakers also heralds the end of the NBA's personnel surge this summer. And before that, there have been some talked-about transfers.

Nets trade to get Joe. Johnson and Deron formed a backcourt duo, and the Rockets sent youngster Lowry to the north of Toronto, Brandon. Roy Nirvana reborn to join Minnesota Timberwolves, Chinese-American point guard Jeremy Lin to Houston Rockets......

As in previous years, the changes in the squad in the summer have left fans looking forward to the new season. However, among them, there is only one transfer information related to Pacers fans - Ray. Allen 7 million in 2 years, signed with Indiana Pacers!

This signing undoubtedly caused a very big sensation at the time. Allen turned down the Celtics' 12 million and accepted the Pacers' 7 million instead, which in itself is very unbelievable.

Moreover, the Celtics had just been eliminated by the Pacers in the Eastern Conference semifinals, and the big players in the team immediately "surrendered", which naturally sparked heated discussions.

Garnett even claimed: "I've removed Ray. Aaron's phone number", indicating a complete break in their relationship.

There was a lot of scolding from the outside world, but most of them were directed at Ray. Aaron's. There's only one person scolding Henson, and that's Pat. Riley.

Originally Ray. Allen is regarded by Riley as the most important signing of the summer, but in the end he is in front of his biggest opponent in the East, can Riley not scold?

The Heat are willing to give Ray. Allen's contract is 9 million for 3 years, which is actually not much different from the Pacers' 2 years and 7 million. But in the end, Ray. Allen chose the Pacers anyway. The reason is simple, Ray. Allen is more optimistic that the Pacers can defend their title!

Take another championship ring and retire, this is Ray. Aaron's greatest wish right now. Money is not money, to Ray. Of course, it is still important, but it is not the most important factor. Thunder. Aaron wants to win, to win in a less desperate collective. Most importantly, want to win in front of Celtic!

At this point, the Pacers were undoubtedly able to make Ray. Aaron was satisfied. So, even with only a two-year, $7 million contract, Ray Murray. Allen also resolutely chose to wear the corn-yellow jersey.

So the two sides hit it off, and Ray. Allen returned to the championship team, and Henson found a replacement for Matthews.

At this point, the Pacers' summer reinforcement plan is basically completed. At most, it's to sign a point guard who can occasionally be used to fill the roster. So, since signing Ray. After Allen, no matter how lively and exciting the league's trade rumors are, they have nothing to do with the Pacers.

While teams are still racking their brains to find good players, Henson has been following Antetokounmpo in Greece for a week. After that, Henson and Angeli continued their interrupted travel plan and took a trip around Europe.

During this period, Anjiali officially proposed to Henson the idea of becoming a model. Henson expressed his support, and at the same time, the two agreed on a drunken night in Paris.

"One more championship, and we'll get married."

Henson admits that there was a drunken element to the pact. But on second thought, Henson is about to be 33, and Angeli is about to graduate. If you get married with another championship, the timing may be just right.

Of course, Henson doesn't want the Pacers to miss out on a championship for years to come. In that case, I guess I will have to fight a bachelor for the rest of my life.

So, although the team's roster of players is almost complete, after winning the championship and unlocking the achievement, Henson still has a very perverted "secret badge" that he doesn't use. But in order to successfully defend the title and for his lifelong happiness, Henson is still trying to find ways to strengthen the team.

Only this time, Henson is not strengthening the players, but the members of the coaching staff!

Frank. Vogel, Stephen. Silas, Bruce. Fraser and Henson themselves are the backbone of the Pacers' coaching staff today. While this group has proven their worth last season, Henson feels he lacks a helper who can help him on the offensive end.

Vogel is a good helper, of course, but he can only defend almost defensively. Silas and Fraser have their own characteristics, but neither of their strengths is in tactical development. Sometimes when the team is at a stalemate in attack and Henson has nothing to do, it's a real headache.

So today, when Henson called his one-time teacher, Brad . When Stevens called him out for a drink, the Butler College Bulldogs coach wasn't surprised in the slightest. After all, when the two communicated on the phone before, Henson expressed his wish more than once that Stevens could come to the NBA to assist him.

"Come help me, Brad. In the past, when I had any trouble, I always liked to call you for advice. So I thought, I just want you to work with me. But back then, you and your team were still working on an NCAA championship, so tell yourself not to distract you. And now is the time, Brad. I know you really want to come to the NBA, you can start with me, I believe that in no more than three years, you will be able to get a job as a head coach in the NBA. ”

After three rounds of drinking, Henson and Stevens were a little drunk. Only this time, Henson didn't say the words "one more championship and we'll get married" as he did in Paris.

"Of course I'm willing to help you, Henson, no one can refuse an NBA call. But as far as I know, your coaching staff is relatively saturated, and I don't want to be a team where you can just record the stats. I need a bit of a tactical voice, and of course, you're the boss, I mean, I want what I've learned to be used in the NBA. Stevens burped and his cheeks reddened.

"That's exactly why I need you, Brad. You and Frank, one is my spear and the other is my shield. With both of you on board, I'm sure the Pacers' new season will go very well. Hey, don't forget, I learned how to plan a summer camp and that kind of thing. Maybe this year's preseason training plan for the Pacers can be left to you. ”

Stevens has won the NCAA championship two years in a row, and has fallen to the finals for two consecutive years. Although he failed to win a championship for Butler University, Stevens has undoubtedly proved himself to lead the otherwise little-known Butler University to the finals for two consecutive years.

In the NCAA, he has nothing left to chase. Maybe changing the goal from an NCAA championship to an NBA championship would make things interesting......

Stevens called for two more beers, and his dream of entering the NBA has finally come true?

"Then I wish us a happy work together, Henson."

"Great cooperation, Brad." Henson smiled happily, after getting Stevens, a young marshal who is about the same young as himself, this year's summer reinforcement can almost come to an end.
