117:Prepare in advance (200 monthly pass plus change)
Henson lay on his newly-bought, fluffy bed, rolled over, and opened his eyes slightly.
Beside him was An Jiali, who was still asleep. Henson gently brushed Angeli's hair away, admiring the girl's face wantonly.
When you wake up early in the morning, there is a beautiful woman lying next to you, which undoubtedly makes Henson have a good mood all day.
However, a few days ago, Henson's mood was not so good, because the Pacers still lost the tiebreaker with a total score of 3-4 and missed out on the Eastern Conference finals.
The series between the Pacers and the Bulls was a shocking game. Even Bird didn't expect that Henson would be able to bring a bunch of recruit eggs to a stalemate with the 62-win Bulls to the tiebreaker!
After the first victory, in the second game of the series, Rose's 25+10 and Noah's 18+12 completely destroyed the Pacers' interior line. Henson has always wanted to strengthen the interior line, but he has struggled with the lack of suitable candidates. In the playoffs, the disadvantages begin to be infinitely magnified.
Just when people thought that the revived Bulls were about to win all the games in Indian, Granger used a 34-point performance to hammer Boozer.
In the past, Boozer often tortured Yao Ming with his speed and shooting, but now it is Granger's turn to torture him like this, it is really feng shui in turn.
The Pacers were 2-1, and Thibodeau's helpless remark after the game that "the Pacers must be a team favored by God" made Henson scoff.
"Favored by God? My players are victorious with blood and sweat! ”
In Game 3 of the series, something bad happened for Henson.
The league officially announced that Derek. Rose defeated LeBron. James became the MVP of the 2010-2011 regular season. And at the age of 23, Rose became the youngest MVP player in NBA history!
This incident caused an uproar in Chicago, and since "that god-like man", they finally welcomed their second MVP player!
With Noah missing 34 games and Boozer missing 23 games, Rose averaged 25.0 points, 4.1 rebounds and 7.7 assists per game, still leading the Bulls to a league-leading 62-20. For that matter, Henson must also admit that Rose has the strength to be at the MVP level.
But Rose's win to MVP is undoubtedly a bad thing for Henson.
After that, the morale of the Bulls was boosted! They have an MVP, so their next goal is to win the championship under the MVP!
In the fourth game of the series, Rose scored a career-high 44 points in the playoffs, showing the style of MVP!
Led by Rose, the Bulls slaughtered the Pacers 99-82, and the overall score became 2-2!
At this point, almost the whole world was chanting that the Bulls would settle the battle in six games, and the Bulls won the fifth game as expected.
However, in Game 6 of the series, the Pacers' tenacity and Henson's series of subtle maneuvers delayed the Chicagoan's dream of advancing again.
Horford's triple-double of 23 points, 12 rebounds and 10 assists turned Rose's 34 points into an empty score. At the critical moment, Holiday made a steady mid-range shot to completely kill the game.
3 to 3, the two sides dragged into a tie-break! And the Indiana Pacers were also labeled as iron-blooded and tenacious because of this game.
Reggie. Miller proudly cheered in the commentary booth: "This is the way the Pacers play!" ”
However, the playoffs are always the stage for stars. Henson and Thibodeau fought to tie seven, and they no longer had any secrets from each other, and they were also making strange moves. After all, there are only so many players on both sides, and you can't change a flower.
And Rose, a supernova, ended the entire series with a super performance of 35 points and 13 assists.
Surprisingly, after the series, Henson was not ridiculed, but was praised by all parties.
The Pacers' tenacious performance was expected, and if the series were to be repeated, the Bulls might not win again.
In the Eastern Conference semifinals, he fought with the Bulls, who were first in the East, to tie seven, and for the Pacers, who were only aiming for the playoffs at the beginning, Henson had indeed overfulfilled the task.
Although the outside world did not question himself, Henson himself could not be happy after losing the series.
It wasn't until a few days ago, when Angeli came to Indianapolis after the start of her summer vacation, that Henson's life was finally full of brilliance again.
An Jiali seemed to feel that someone was touching her, so she also opened her eyes slightly. When she saw Henson lying beside her, the girl smiled.
"Wake up so early, it looks like you're more energetic than your players."
Angari said, sticking to Henson's side. Angeli, who had been stripped naked last night, was wearing nothing, and the hot and smooth skin made Henson react immediately.
"Don't say I look old, I'm only 31 years old." Henson said, covering the two of them with the quilt......
※※※
It's another free day, and the Eastern Conference Finals between the Bulls and the Heat are still in full swing, but that has nothing to do with Henson.
It's still a while before the draft, so Henson isn't very busy for the time being.
His daily life now is to play with Anjiali at home...... No, it's to promote affection, and then go out for a ride and shopping in a retro Jaguar sports car from Bird.
But Henson hasn't been having fun these days.
Every night when he got home, Henson would go out into the yard, light a cigar, and look out at the street stupidly.
Sometimes, he sat like this for an hour, and Henson would only be relieved if Angarie called him.
The same is true today, Henson sits in the backyard with a chair lifted, swallowing the clouds, as if the soul has temporarily left his body.
"Henson, go back to the house, it's a little cold at night." Angeli came out with a stall and draped it over Henson.
"Oh, thank you, Angeli." Henson came back to his senses and took Angeli into his arms.
"What do you think about every day? The season is over, you deserve to rest. ”
"No, the first game of the new season is just around the corner, and the time is getting closer. But until now, I still can't think of what the Spurs are going to do. ”
"Spurs?" Anjiali couldn't help but put the back of her hand on Henson's head, this guy won't be tired and stupid these days.
"Well, the San Antonio Spurs, those professional robbers who specialize in robbing high-potential rookies with low picks! I was afraid that Leonard, who had been watching for a whole year, would end up in their hands. What are they going to do? Whether to trade draft picks upwards or sit back and wait for a muffled fortune. If draft picks are traded upwards, who can be trusted to make sure they don't backtrack......"
An Jiali smiled, it turned out to be for this matter.
"You need to rest, Henson. If you do this every day, your hair will probably fall out before the age of 40. Don't worry about what the Spurs have planned, you have to make your own plan first. Think about it first, if it were you, would you choose to trade up or sit back and wait for Leonard to fall on his own. In the end, it's good to make a safer choice. If you try to figure out others, you will never be able to figure it out. ”
Henson looked at Anjiali with a serious face, looking at the face that was rejuvenated with maturity and youth, and couldn't help but hug her tighter.
"Let's go back to the house, no matter what, I must get him!"
