What was the greatest retirement show in NBA history?

I believe that as soon as this topic is mentioned, people will think of Kobe, his king-like murderous spirit, and his incredible 60 points in a single game. And the phrase, "What can I say?" Mamba out！ ”

It's not easy to score 60 points in a single game in the retirement game, although many people say that the Jazz were a release in that game, and it was a complete show. But even in acting, it is not easy to score 60 points. It's true that Kobe Bryant accounted for the majority of the Lakers' shots in that game, but his shooting percentage was not bad.

Superstars who decide to retire are usually because their bodies no longer allow them to play in the NBA. In such a situation, it is almost impossible to score 60 points in a single game.

O'Neal played just 3 minutes in the retirement battle, and Jordan scored only 15 points in the retirement battle. Duncan is the best, and this "rookie" who has been the same for decades can still score 19 points when he retires.

But all these figures palely in comparison to 60 points. Therefore, Kobe's retirement performance is the greatest retirement performance in NBA history.

But after today, Mike. Brynn believes that Bryant's retirement show is just one of the greatest in NBA history and must be added to one of them.

In Bryant's final game, he scored 60 points. And in Henson's last battle, he won the championship as expected!

"The last offense of the Warriors, the Pacers' defense was suffocating. The Warriors didn't have a chance, not even a pass. Cousins and Green were put on double screen, and Curry was ready to break through, but was delayed in time! Curry retreated two steps beyond the three-point line, there was no time, he had to shoot! ”

"Bang!"

"Boom!"

The moment the shot hit, all the fans in the stands cheered. And the entire banker's life arena seems to have become a tumbling cornfield.

Meanwhile, Bird and Stephen in the players' tunnel. Simon also felt a noticeable tremor. The two men were stunned for a few seconds, then hurriedly accelerated to the court.

When the two of them rushed out of the players' tunnel, the decibel level in their ears instantly increased tenfold!

"It's over, it's over! Champion, the Pacers are the NBA champions of the 2018-2019 season! This is the third year in a row that they have won the championship, and they have established a second dynasty after a two-year hiatus! Great team, great players, great coach! At the moment, the names of countless great teams have been left behind by them. They won, they ruled the whole basketball world! ”

Mike. Brin climaxed the moment Curry missed the shot, and the Pacers defended that ball so well that Curry could only choose to shoot against the defense from a long distance.

While Curry has always been able to pull off all sorts of amazing shots, he has had a halftime win over the Thunder. But magical goals are called magical precisely because they are not common.

Amid the cheers of the fans, the Pacers players hugged each other. Colorful confetti floated down from the arena dome, and Henson stood among the confetti, enjoying everything he had built.

Three years later, three years later, time flies. In front of him, his scenery is not the same as it was three years ago. But thankfully, he's still on top of the world.

Another triple crown, two dynasties. For many head coaches, a championship ring in their careers is a success. Like George. Carl, Adelman, and Jerry. Sloan and other famous coaches have never been able to have a championship ring of their own in their lives.

And Henson did what they couldn't do in their lifetime in half the time.

At the end of the game, Henson found himself very calm, as calm as he was this morning. At first, he thought his emotions would explode after winning the championship. But no, he wasn't happy or excited at this time.

He just felt relaxed, incredibly relaxed. In three years, there has not been a moment of relief for him as it is now. He was relieved that he had accomplished his mission!

A mission to be the godfather of basketball in Indianapolis.

"Congratulations, Henson, we're the champions!"

Becky. Harmon walked over and hugged Henson, the female coach who might change the rules of the basketball world burst into tears, and it could be seen that she was much more emotional than Henson.

"Congratulations, Becky, you also have a credit for winning the championship." Henson patted Harmon on the back.

"Henson, it's all over, it's over." Although McMillan and Henson have not worked together for a long time, they get along well.

Next, every member of the coaching staff came up and hugged Henson. After that, it's time for the players.

"Chief, don't you want to go? We...... We can win more championships together! George was the first to pounce, and he's one of the few henchmen on the current Pacers roster who has been playing with Henson since his rookie season. His feelings for Henson are undoubtedly the deepest.

"Come on, George. It's just a pity that I can't watch you lift the MVP trophy as your coach. ”

Henson laughed, but George's eyes were rosy.

"Janis, you kid didn't disappoint me today. Remember, practice your shooting this summer. As long as your shooting improves, trust me, no one in this league can stop you......" Henson said halfway through before stopping, "Forget it, it's time for Becky next season. Harmon is worried about these things. You still have your way to go, keep up the good work. ”

Antetokounmpo didn't speak, not even expression. He bit his lip and nodded silently beside Henson.

"Boss, you can't leave me like that. Thou hast saved me twice, and now thou wilt go alone? I won't be able to play for a few years, and when I can't, we'll retire together. ”

Then, Stephenson also came up. He said that Henson saved him twice, and that's not an exaggeration. For the first time, Henson let him play in the NBA while he was destitute. The second time, Henson allowed him to return to the Pacers and regain his footing in the NBA.

This guy who once filled in Henson's phone number and name in the emergency contact column after being arrested in the police station actually has very sincere feelings for Henson. He knew he was a jerk and he shouldn't have it all. But luckily, it's called Henson. Joe's people never gave up on him.

"You're already a big man, Lance. You can't always be saved, it's time for you to save others. If you dare to make trouble after I retire, I'll rush over and kick your ass wherever you are. Henson yelled at Stephenson's nose and hugged him hard.

Subsequently, more and more people gathered around Henson, Oladipo, Danny. Green, Lopez, Siakam, Rose, Brogdon......

When you think about it, almost everyone on the Pacers roster is more or less better because of Henson. Some of them are second-round shows, some are down-and-out stars, some are outdated, and some are not trusted by other coaches.

But after gathering in Indianapolis and gathering under Henson, they have only one identity - the championship!

As a result, the Pacers' cohesion and Henson's control of the team is unmatched by anyone else. These are things that other teams can't learn.

On the pitch, Henson was still talking and hugging the players. A lot of the players cried, but Henson didn't cry himself. He didn't want his parting to look so sad, he was 40 years old, was it necessary to make it like this?

That's why he's always in a chic way between each player. Say a few words to this person, a hug, and then go to another person for a few words......

No one urged him, not even Adam. Both the Shaw and O'Brien Cups have to wait. Today, Henson is the biggest protagonist.

Nearly 20,000 fans remained in the stands, reluctant to leave. Henson was with his players, talking to them one by one.

It's as if a retiring general is reviewing his troops and his officers for the last time. Or rather, like a king saying goodbye to his subjects.

Angeli and Emily sat in the stands cheering along with the others, proud of the man's accomplishments.

At this moment, the fans in the stadium suddenly raised the number of cards they were carrying. The content on the nameplate is very simple, just two words.

“Thank you，Henson。”

Subsequently, the fans shouted in unison and shook the honor cards in their hands in unison.

"Thank you, Henson." The shouts eventually resounded throughout the stadium, not only the fans, but also the commentators and the players on the pitch were shouting along with them.

In the waft of confetti, the revered Chinese man stood still, looking at everything around him.

Then he cried, smiled and shed tears. He thought he could hold it up today, but at this moment, his emotions finally exploded.

Every fan, every player, every floor on the field, every championship pennant on the dome...... These are going to say goodbye to him.

Instead of giving an impassioned speech like Kobe Bryant, Henson waved at all the fans in tears, then lowered his head and walked briskly towards the players' tunnel.

At the entrance of the tunnel, Henson suddenly stopped. He turned, bowed 90°, and left, this time without looking back.

The entire camera caught Henson's back until it disappeared around the corner of the tunnel.

"This is Henson's last back for us, an era is over."

On June 10, 2019, Mike. Brin's final commentary brought Henson's coaching career to a happy end.
