This year's NBA All-Star Weekend was not very lively, although after Xiao Hua took office, the All-Star Weekend was restructured again, so that the individual events such as the Skills Challenge, the Three-Point Contest and the Slam Dunk Contest have become the form of confrontation between East and West. But while the gimmick is full, the spectacle of the game is very average.

The slam dunk contest made people so sleepy that they couldn't even find an impressive shot. The Three-Point Contest and the Skills Challenge are difficult to play even if they add elements of confrontation between the East and the West.

The biggest highlight of this year's All-Star Weekend is probably the league's first use of short-sleeved jerseys at the All-Star Game. However, basketball games are never fashion shows, and this kind of highlight simply can't stimulate the "G-spot" of fans.

Of course, there is another reason why Xiao Hua can't think of the lack of attention for this year's All-Star Weekend - Henson. Joe is ready to make a comeback.

It stands to reason that Henson's comeback and All-Star weekend are two unrelated things that shouldn't affect each other. But as it turns out, the impact comes when fans expect more from Henson than they expect from the All-Star Game.

Right now, the hottest topic in basketball is not the All-Stars, nor the star-studded star players, let alone the short-sleeved jerseys, but Henson. Joe!

Everyone wanted to know what kind of performance Henson would bring to the scene after a three-month absence. So, the All-Star Weekend isn't over yet, but fans are already looking forward to the Pacers' first game after the All-Star break.

On Feb. 18, the Pacers will host the Portland Trail Blazers, who have had a good season and have a 36-17 record so far! The average price of tickets for this game has been speculated to $1,500 a piece, note that this is still the average price! In other words, the price of the front seat is much higher than this figure!

All-Star Weekend hasn't ended yet, and tickets for this regular season game have already been pre-purchased. Among them, even the VIP box is full!

Indeed, the pioneers are a formidable force to be reckoned with in the west this year. Damien. The rise of Lillard, Aldridge's composure as always, and the excellent play of Batum and Pacers veteran Matthews have made the Trail Blazers a very competitive team.

Don't look at the Trail Blazers currently only in fifth place in the West, but that's because the competition in the West is very big this year. If the Trail Blazers are thrown to the East, they will be ranked third in the East with their record!

That's right, third in the East, behind the Pacers and Heat! As you know, the Trail Blazers are more powerful than their rankings show!

However, even if this is a strong conversation and a matchup, the game should not be so hot. The Trail Blazers vs Pacers is just a plus, and the real reason that makes this game so hot is none other than Henson!

After all, it was Henson's first game in three months, and people were starting to miss Henson's heroism. Everyone is eager to see what kind of performance the Pacers can perform when Henson returns.

"Stealing the limelight from an entire All-Star Weekend on one hand, I've never seen such an amazing coach before!"

"Henson. Joe's return will definitely make many people worried. Among them, the most unhappy must be the Miami Heat. They had just said they were ready to regain the top spot in the East, and Henson returned. ”

"I don't know if Coach Henson's head became unresponsive after a three-month break. But I'm sure that even if he just sits on the sidelines without saying anything, he can get the Pacers players excited one by one! ”

The media is also looking forward to Henson's return, and of course, more people are expecting Henson to come out.

"70 wins when the season is more than halfway through and the team has lost nine games? Did Coach Henson watch too many fairy tales when he was in the hospital? ”

"Henson is still as arrogant as ever, and the Pacers' 70-win win last season is really hard to say. But this season, the Pacers don't have what it takes to win 70. Overconfidence is stupid! ”

"Henson just wants to scare people, 70 wins? The Pacers will be thankful that they won't be overtaken by the Heat. ”

Henson's remarks at the press conference undoubtedly caused huge controversy. And these controversies have also created Henson's popularity.

With so much controversy and anticipation, All-Star Weekend has become nothing to look forward to.

Henson himself didn't respond as he took the time to prepare for his first game after his return.

"Henson, the game video thing ......"

"It's okay, I can hold it. Don't worry, I'm not kidding with my life. In the head coach's office at Gym 1 at the Bankers Living Arena, Henson is studying footage of the Trail Blazers' last few games.

Vogel said he would study the video and then give Henson a report directly, but Henson insisted on doing his own research.

It's not that Henson can't trust Vogel, if he can't trust Vogel, Vogel would have been with Jim in the first place. O'Brien got out of here. It's just that Henson prefers to do it himself, and no matter how good someone else's report is, it is someone else's understanding after all. To really control the game, you have to really know your opponents.

"Then you have to take care of your rest, if your heart goes wrong again, I'll be wanted by all Indianapolis." Vogel shook his head helplessly, Henson was very stubborn. Once he decides to do something, even ten cows can't pull it back.

"Don't worry, you have no idea how harsh my life is right now. As soon as I got home, Johnny. Mr. Mars would check to see if my heart was beating normally. Then, I eat a nutritious meal at regular intervals. After that, I couldn't work, but had to rest in the living room. When it's serious, he will force me to watch "SpongeBob SquarePants". ”

“What！？ ...... SpongeBob SquarePants? Vogel looked confused.

"That's not all, by eight o'clock, I can finally get to work. But at half-past ten, the doctor would bring me medicine and urge me to finish my work quickly. Then before eleven o'clock, I had to go to bed. If I don't listen to his ...... How dare I? After all, I'm scared to death. ”

Vogel was almost amused by Henson, this guy is always so optimistic. It's like a joke when I talk about my condition.

"So don't worry about me, I don't have that opportunity even if I want to overwork. I'm stuck in my life, Frank, they won't even let me smoke a cigar! ”

Hearing this, Spike was filmed on the side. Li Du couldn't help but laugh. The unruly Henson. Joe, there was also a day when he was "tamed".

While Henson was recuperating from an injury, Spike. Occasionally, Lee would go to photograph Henson's daily life. Of course, in the principle of not disturbing Henson's rest, Spike. Lee's filming was not as frequent. Until Henson returns, Spike. Lee and his team have just resumed follow-up shooting.

Although there were some minor accidents on Henson's side, Spike. Lee doesn't think that would make the documentary flawed.

Instead, he thinks that this season will be even more legendary because of it!

Look at Spike. Lee's camera, Henson's smile faded away. Luckily, he promised to let Spike. Lee made a documentary for himself. Otherwise, who will record his last season......

"Frank."

"Huh?"

"It's been a hard time for you."

"Don't say that, I'm quite guilty, the team's record this year is a far cry compared to the same period last year." Vogel waved his hand in embarrassment.

"You've done your best, and that's the most important thing. It doesn't matter, we have two months left to get everything back on track. Now, we're about to take the first step to get back on track! ”

"Reinvent your training plan?"

"No, we have to go to the hospital first. I've got to see what happened to that kid Leonard. ”

A once-in-40-year injury? Finger displacement fracture? An indefinite truce?

Henson is confident that when he returns, none of this will be a problem with the badge!
