379: Reasons for having to win
Stephenson was on fire, completely on fire.
People say that the playoffs are a stage where people make a name for themselves. But no one could have imagined that Stephenson, the former "New York villain", could also shine on this stage.
With 22 points, 5 rebounds and 4 assists in the game, Stephenson's stats are very beautiful. Of course, if you think that this guy is popular with good data, you are really naΓ―ve.
"Countless trash talks, dirty little gestures, hilarious eyes, and of course, the most classic of them is his blowing defense and mouth-covering defense against LeBron. The latter directly led to LeBron's 6 fouls in the final moments. This is Lance. Stephenson, if I were to ask LeBron who he hates the most in the league right now, I'm sure he wouldn't hesitate to say Stephenson's name. β
"Stephenson's numbers are great, but he makes people remember things outside of data. I can't even comment on whether this is a shame or a success. β
"Lance is such a player, and Coach Henson brought him to Indianapolis and that's what he did."
After the game, Stephenson became the most frequently reported name in the major news outlets. Fighting to fame is the perfect word to describe Stephenson.
In the past, people just knew that the Pacers had such a number one bastard. But now, Stephenson has become one of the Pacers' iconic figures.
The Miami Post even used the word "stinking kind" to describe the combination of Stephenson and Henson, "This pair of dirty tactics of master and apprentice will ruin the entire Eastern Conference Finals!" β
However, no one cares about their voices. The Pacers took a 2-1 lead, and that's what happened!
"Lance, you're famous Lance, hahahaha!"
On the training ground the next day, everyone joked about Stephenson. Stephenson naturally didn't feel ashamed to be famous in this way, and he gladly accepted the praise of his teammates, and even exchanged ideas to stimulate James
Henson shook his head on the sidelines, and Stephenson was always a double-edged sword. Kill each other if you use it well, and kill yourself if you don't use it well. But he's glad that it was the Miami Heat who was killed in the last game.
It's just a big win, so the players are in great shape and the quality of training today was high. And tomorrow, the Pacers will face the Heat in Game 4 of the series. Therefore, today Henson did not let everyone practice too tired, just after five o'clock in the afternoon, Henson announced that everyone was disbanded and rested.
Normally, Henson should be wearing his tracksuit and going back to the hotel with the "old men" of the coaching staff, at most going out to find a place to finish eating.
But today, Henson was spotted in the locker room with leather shoes on, a suit, and a meticulous groom.
"Henson, you're going to direct the game?" Vogel's joke won a lot of noise in the locker room.
"It's more important than directing the game, Frank." Henson smiled and glanced at his assistant, and Vogel nodded knowingly, not asking any more questions.
Henson's eyes have always been sharp, and he can suddenly become so gentle, it must be because of women

Miami International Airport has been crowded lately, and now it's May, and the weather in Miami is incredibly sunny, and tourists from all over the world are eager to come to this city full of sand and sun. Not to mention, it's the NBA Eastern Conference Finals, and many fans will be pouring into the city to experience the atmosphere of the highest level of confrontation in the East.
So when Henson stands in a bustling crowd with sunglasses on, he barely notices him. Because there are so many people coming and going here!
Henson looked up at the screen in the airport hall and saw that Angeli's plane had landed. This made him tidy up his collar again, and he didn't want to appear in front of Anjiali with a sloppy look.
"Hey, you're yours Henson. Coach Joe! Just then, a young man passing by Henson shouted! Fortunately, there were so many people at the airport that his shouting was immediately drowned out by the noise.
"Shh Henson immediately put his right index finger on his lips, he didn't want to be surrounded here!
It's not that Henson thinks he's more famous, you know, this is Miami, it's the Heat's turf! If Henson had been recognized in the crowd, he would have been beaten to death by the crowd.
This guy is still very self-aware, and he knows very well how much of a bastard he is.
"Haha, it's really yours!? Oh, my God! Can I take a picture with you!? The young man jumped up excitedly, but nervously lowered his voice.
Henson looked around, and in order to send the fan away, he could only meet his request, "Come on, sir, let's take a picture together like old friends." But I hope you don't yell, okay? β
"No problem, Coach Henson!"
"Shh
After the group photo, Henson learned that this young man was a Pacers fan, and he was also a fan of Henson. So even though Henson was wearing sunglasses, he still recognized them at a glance.
However, because I have to go to work tomorrow, I can't stay in Miami to continue watching the game, so I have to rush back to Indianapolis today.
Hearing that the other party is a Pacers fan, Henson's attitude is much softer. Henson may be a thorn in the coffin for most people. But to Pacers fans, Henson has always been mild. Because he knew very well that he was the enemy of the whole world, when he uttered all sorts of earth-shattering remarks. It's this group of guys who always silently support themselves.
After waving goodbye to the die-hard Pacers fan, Henson finally calmed down. But he also found that Anjiali's plane had been landing for a while. And I may have missed that girl.
Just as Henson was about to pull out his mobile phone to make a call, a pair of slender arms wrapped around his waist. At first, Henson thought it was some fanatical female fan, but after feeling the soft touch of the two balls on his back, Henson knew who was holding him from behind. After all, not all women have Anjiali's size
"Coach Henson, sign me too."
"Don't make a fuss, Ann."
"How do you know it's me?"
"Of course I do." Henson prevaricated, and he couldn't say that he felt it because of the touch on his back
Henson pulled away the arm around his waist and turned around. Sure enough, Anjiali. Rana Divi, the girl with innocence on her face and sex appeal on her body, was standing in front of him.
"Why didn't I see you come out?" Henson sniffed, he always liked the smell of Angelie's body very much.
"Where did I come from?" Angeli pointed to the VIP aisle
yes, how could this girl come out of an ordinary passage.
"Did you miss me?" Anjiali said, bringing her face closer.
"Of course."
"Who can prove it?"
Henson didn't answer, but kissed him directly. The girl's heart was sweet, and Henson himself succeeded in proving the truth of that sentence.

Miami is actually a seaside city with no winter, and there is not much to see in the city other than the sea, sun and sand.
So at this time, Angeli was standing on the fine sand of Miami's south coast. The sun had sunk into the sea, and the whole sky was turned burgundy. Countless people picked up the cameras in their hands and took pictures of the beautiful scenery.
But Angeli didn't, in fact, her attention was not on the scenery at all. At this time, this woman with a good figure is looking at a man who is buying ice cream in front of the ice cream truck. He squeezed out of the crowd with ice cream, but he didn't look like a serious head coach with a straight face on the field.
"I said it all, I have to eat less of these things"
"You've lost weight, Ann." Henson pinched An Jiali's waist, and he couldn't pinch any fat, "So, it's okay to eat a little once in a while." β
Still not taking the ice cream, Angelie grabbed Henson's wrist and then stuck out her tongue to lick the milky white ice. Women are always duplicitous, and what they want to hear is the man's phrase "It's okay to eat a little".
Even though it was on a beautiful beach, the two had no intention of going into the water. After eating the ice cream, Henson and Angelie walked along the beach, chatting and occasionally snapping pictures. The two of them just walked aimlessly, very casually. But it's romantic enough for the two who often don't see each other.
Henson would ask her how she was doing, but he wouldn't criticize her or lecture her about small mistakes at work. Angeli loves these moments because with Henson, you don't feel pressured at all.
Of course, Henson also enjoyed being with Angeli. This allows him to forget about the upcoming Eastern Conference Finals for a while, and he doesn't have to worry about the tactical arrangements of his opponents and his own team, and he doesn't have to worry about those muscular men. As a man, Henson rarely had time to spend with a beautiful woman. Facing that group of hormonal "birds and beasts" every day is not a benefit for a man.
The two didn't have to do anything, just strolling along the beach in the lazy Miami sun. But Henson felt that there was nothing more enjoyable for him.
If Anjiali was a girl who drilled into high-end shopping malls once she hit the street, and finally bought a large bag and a small bag home, Henson and her might not have such a tacit understanding as they do now. But as a rich girl, An Jiali's demand in this regard is not high.
"The auditions for the modeling agency were very successful, and the school was almost ready. Now, I finally have time to be with you. I'll be going to cheer you on tomorrow! β
"This is Miami, and the atmosphere here is not as good as the Bankers' Living Arena." When they were tired of walking, Henson and Angeli sat on a bench on the beach to rest.
"It doesn't matter, as long as I can see you win game by game, that's enough." The girl's eyes were fixed on Henson, and Henson was embarrassed to look at her.
Henson was never afraid to look at anyone, and the first time Bird met Henson, he looked him in the eye. But to his surprise, the little scout was undaunted.
But since meeting Angeli, Henson has found that he is not someone who dares to stare at him.
"When did you become more interested in winning than I was?" Henson took off his blazer and draped it over Angeli, but the sea breeze at night was still a bit biting.
"From the moment you told me that we would get married if we won the championship."
Henson took a deep breath, yes, it's already May.
In this way, Henson has one more reason to win
"Let's go, it's cold."
"Well, can you warm me up later?"
"I'm trying to warm you up."
