"Coach Henson, what's the team's condition? Are you ready for the Eastern Conference Finals ahead? ”

On May 24, the day after the Miami Heat eliminated the New York Knicks, it was also the day after Henson and Vivek had dinner. In the team training ground at the Consec Arena, the usual media hours were ushered in.

At this time, the players are resting. Everyone was interviewed by reporters in a scattered manner, and Henson was no exception.

"The lads are in great shape, and they're not complacent about being in the Eastern Conference Finals, and I'm very happy about that. We're ready to play at our level in the Eastern Conference Finals. "Henson looked serious, he was in a good mood today. With Paul's reminder, no Pacers player is going to let up in practice.

"Coach Henson! Last night a reporter photographed you and one of the team's shareholders, Vivek. Is it true that Lanadivi has dinner with you, and your girlfriend all along, is Vivek's daughter? After that, a reporter seized the opportunity and put his microphone next to Henson's mouth.

As soon as the news was exposed, it caused a stir in the basketball circle, and some media who hated Henson even called this incident "the reason why Coach Henson's position is solid." ”

Henson thought that only the gossip reporters who were stuck outside in the morning were interested in this matter, but he didn't expect that even basketball reporters would come to join in the fun.

Henson did not respond to reporters' questions. It was really unresponsive, and he didn't even look at the reporter, as if the reporter was a cloud of air!

"Uh...... Coach Henson? The reporter reminded him, but Henson still didn't respond. You know, when answering the last question about the team's form, Henson was serious.

What he did was undoubtedly sending a message to reporters - this is the basketball arena, it's the eve of the Eastern Conference Finals, and my players and I will only answer questions about basketball and the game!

Henson doesn't want to distract the team from anything before the Eastern Conference Finals, let alone himself. Therefore, he set an example for the players with his indifferent attitude.

Seeing that some reporters were deflated, other people who originally wanted to mix in this rumor also changed their minds temporarily, and only asked some basketball-related questions. After all, no one wants to be taken for air by their interviewees.

Half an hour later, the media session finally ended. Henson waved his hand and asked the stadium security personnel to clear out all the reporters.

After a while, the noisy training ground became quiet again, and only the members of the coaching staff and the players sitting on the floor remained.

"Boss, I really didn't expect you to become the focus of attention because of this kind of gossip news." Paul and Henson were joking, and a group of reporters rushed in and asked themselves a bunch of gossip questions, and even Paul was experiencing it for the first time.

"That's it, at least seven or eight reporters just asked me if I knew anything about your girlfriend." Stephenson chimed in.

"And what did you say to him, Lance?" Instead of looking angry, Henson started talking to the players.

In fact, the players are also very curious about it. They all know that the leader's girlfriend is a young college student, but they didn't expect this college student to be the daughter of the team owner! How the hell did he hook up with his boss's daughter? The players also want to know.

However, because they were afraid of being scolded by Henson, everyone didn't mention it in the morning. Now that Paul was the first to speak, the crowd was emboldened.

"How do you answer? I told them I didn't know anything about Coach Henson, including what big underwear he was wearing, and not to ask me anything about it. Stephenson replied with an exaggerated expression, causing the training hall to fill the training hall with laughter.

Henson smiled and waved his hand, he didn't mind the players gossiping about themselves. In fact, even if the players don't talk, Henson will take the initiative to talk to them.

"Alright, guys. I know you're all curious about this. In fact, when I met Angeli, I didn't know she was Vivek's daughter. Of course, Vivek wasn't a shareholder of the team at the time, so technically, I didn't have the owner's daughter. Because I got her dad before he became the owner of the team. ”

Seeing that the players were listening expectantly, Henson continued: "Just like any other couple, we have a normal life. When you're busy, you're busy, and when you have the opportunity, you're tired of traveling around together. The reason why I didn't disclose her identity was not because I was afraid that the media would know that she was the daughter of the team owner, but because I didn't want to affect her life at school. So, the whole thing is as simple as that, there's nothing to be curious about. If you want to know anything else, I'll throw a party at home when the season is over. When the time comes, you can ask whatever you want. But for now, guys. We should focus on the game. ”

After Henson finished speaking, Paul stood up in understanding, "I've heard what the leader said, and I'm almost rested, let's continue training!" Miamins, but threatening to bring us down! ”

"They don't want to!"

"There are so many teams that want to bring down us, and none of them have succeeded."

"Think beating the New Yorkers will beat us too? Think beautifully! ”

One by one, the players stood up and re-engaged in everyone's individual training, and Paul gave Henson a nod.

That's right, even if Paul doesn't mention it, Henson will tell the players everything. The reason is very simple, there is nothing unremarkable about this matter itself, as long as everyone's curiosity is eliminated, there is no fear of delaying training and competitions.

And now, with another "assist" from Paul, the players have clearly dispelled unnecessary curiosity and focused on training and games again.

Yes, even the Green Army Triumvirate failed to defeat the Pacers. How can it be done with just a piece of gossip news?

※※※

On May 27, 2012, the 11-12 NBA Eastern Conference Finals officially kicked off at the Consec Arena!

Before the game began, Barkley and Kenny were sitting on the commentary podium. Smith was still discussing Henson and Angeli.

"You know what? In fact, this is nothing new. Phil. Jackson and Jenny. When the scandal broke out in Bath, the reporters also reported like crazy. But the result? These didn't stop Jackson from winning the championship at all! Basketball is basketball, life is life! I'm here to watch the Pacers and the Heat play, not to watch a reality show! Barkley has not shied away from expressing his opinion, and he is not interested in who Henson's girlfriend really is. However, the daily hype and the revelations full of versions in the past few days have made Barkley feel a little disgusted.

"My views on this matter are rare to agree with you, Charles. Coach Henson, it seems, thinks the same way. In the past few days, he has not paid attention to reporters at all, but has led the team to train wholeheartedly. It seems that the Miamins can't expect Coach Henson to be distracted by this. ”

Spoelstra, who was supervising the warm-up of the players, sneezed, not knowing who was talking about him behind his back...... Counting on Henson to be distracted? Spoelstra had never had such a fluke. This is the Eastern Conference Finals, and Henson's head is probably a 10,000-one way to take out the Heat, not some damn scandal.

Only bored journalists thought Henson would be distracted.

Of course, Spoelstra was also thinking about how to take out the Pacers. And this plan will start to be fulfilled today!

Half an hour later, the warm-up ended. The Heat's starting five tigers walked onto the court, Henson frowned slightly, and Spoelstra surprised him much more than the reporters gave him.

"Changed formations? Coach Spoelstra has actually changed the formation! He will Sean. Battier started and gave up on Joe. Anthony's use! One big and four small, Spoelstra sent a lineup of one big and four small! Barkley admits he didn't expect the Heat to change lineups.

Changing formations on the spot is a taboo, and no one but Henson and Popovich do it. What's more, the Heat, who have the Big Three, should be the dominant side in terms of strength, and they should have responded to all changes with the same. However, no one expected that Spoelstra would suddenly make such a move.

In fact, Battier isn't starting for the first time in the playoffs. When the Heat played the Magic in the first round, Battier was the team's starting power forward, but that was because Bosh was out due to injury, and Battier was kicked off the shelf.

But now the situation is different, Bosh is healthy, and the Heat can play with a regular lineup. But Spoelstra didn't, he still sent Battier and then pushed Bosh into the number five. One big and four small, Spoelstra intends to use such a lineup against Henson!

"What's going on with this change of formation? Has Spoelstra forgotten how badly he lost in the final game of the regular season? Henson pouted, starting with Battier can indeed put an end to Henson's "if if you leave" method. But equally, Battier is a disadvantage, something Henson has done during the regular season.

Before everyone could think through Spoelstra's thoughts, the game was already underway. Horford fought for the basketball from Bosh, and Henson made a few gestures and motioned for Paul to go directly to the Heat to play!

Putting Battier in the No. 4 position was a decision that had already proven to be a mistake in the regular season! Henson doesn't care what Spoelstra is thinking, since you gave me such a loophole, then I'll use it!

However, it was only when West sat in the low post to receive a pass from Paul. Spoelstra didn't let Battier play the number four, but let James sit in the number four! It's not Battier who is fighting against West, it's James with strange powers!

"Hmm...... It makes sense. "Henson touched his chin, Filipinos are not stupid. In his head, he is afraid that he also has ten thousand and one ways to defeat the Pacers......
