515: Day 1

A Cadillac CT6 appeared in the underground parking lot of the Bankers' Living Arena, a brand that would be a luxury for most civilians. But in the star-studded banker's life arena, the CT6's price is simply not worth mentioning.

An Asian man with pigtails and a big beard got out of the main driver's car, removed his sunglasses, and looked around meaningfully.

All around him, he was so familiar. After all, two years ago, he would come here every day to work. But now, the surroundings are a little strange. Because a lot of familiar people, familiar cars have left. The sign for the underground parking lot has also been newly painted.

The owner of this Cadillac CT6 is none other than Pacers general manager and head coach Henson. Joe. At one time, his car was a retro Jaguar sports car. But now that there is a family, it is clear that a two-seater sports car with insufficient space and comfort will not meet Henson's needs.

In the beginning, Henson had planned to buy a Lincoln or a Bentley. But after the test drive, Henson found that the driving experience of these two brands of luxury sedans with good prices was not good.

Later, Henson learned that most of these cars are driven by drivers, and the owner only needs to enjoy it in the back seat. Therefore, in terms of handling, it is not superior. So, Henson chose a Cadillac CT6 with good comfort and handling as his new car.

Just from the car, you can also see the changes that time has brought to Henson.

Following the instructions for the underground car park, Henson walked into the players' tunnel. This labyrinthine tunnel of players is all too familiar to Henson.

He knew very well what was waiting for him behind every corner, and this inexplicable comfort made the corners of Henson's mouth slightly hooked.

Anjiali is right, the basketball court is his world.

Henson pushed the door open and walked into the dressing room, all of which was empty as the players had already started their pre-training warm-up.

It's still familiar, but the names on the locker are mostly different from a few years ago.

Thunder. Allen's cabinet became owned by Oladipo, and the name on Horford's cabinet became Kevin. Rooney...... But Henson still feels intimately familiar in this dressing room, where he has given stirring speeches and where he has laid out countless deadly tactics.

He's been through wins and defeats here, he's been through the comings and goings of the players. also let himself, from a frivolous "old boy" to a man.

Stroking the wooden lockers, Henson felt as if he could communicate with them. They've seen all the stories of the Pacers, and now, a whole new chapter is about to begin!

"Come on, you damn bastard, you can't let those guys who look down on you get away with it!" Henson silently said a word in his mind, then straightened his Armani suit and walked to the training ground.

※※※

Oladipo came to the training court early in the morning to practice shooting, and he had already heard of Henson. Joe's various "heroic deeds", so there is still some inexplicable fear of Henson from the bottom of my heart.

It's the first day of pre-season training camp and Henson's first training session since his return, so no one dares to be late.

No, not to mention being late, everyone almost arrived at the stadium half an hour before the start of training.

"Chris, did Coach Henson oversleep?" Seeing that Henson hadn't shown up for five minutes before the start of training, Oladipo turned his head and asked Paul.

While Oladipo struggled with the Pacers, it was a style of play, not a personal relationship. Oladipo and his teammates still get along quite happily.

"Haha," Paul smirked, "you've got to get used to it, man." Coach Henson is never late, and of course, never early. ”

Henson's habits are still the same as before, and he doesn't want the players to think that the manager is here early in the morning to help them out.

Sure enough, just a minute before the start of training, the door of the training hall was pushed open.

Henson, who has been away from the training ground for two years. Joe, once again, stepped into his hall of honor. The Pacers' new and old players stared at Henson and stopped what they were doing.

The veteran player stared at Henson, curious about the big change in Henson's appearance. And the curiosity of the new players is curious about this character that only exists in legends.

"Keep practicing, I'm not a bikini girl on Venice Beach. Could it be that any of you like men!? ”

Henson's stern voice frightened many young players. The veteran players smiled heartily, and they felt uncomfortable without Henson's scolding in the past two years.

Now, the familiar feeling is finally back.

"You all hear it, keep warming up. Whether the new season will succeed or not will be decided from now on! "Chris. Paul was greeted as the team's big brother, and he was always Henson's right-hand man.

Henson nodded at Paul before walking into the manager's office, Henson's second office.

This year, due to the peculiarities of his work, both the general manager's office and the head coach's office belong to him. As a result, Henson's workspace is huge. However, he is still more accustomed to staying in the head coach's office inside the training ground.

When Henson walked into the office, Nash, McMillan, Becky. Harmon, Stephen. Silas and Bruce. Fraser and other key members of the coaching staff are already waiting inside.

Henson didn't say much goodbye, and the first thing he said when he met everyone was, "Get ready, guys, it's going to be a tough season." But I believe that everyone's hard work will pay off. ”

"Boss, I've got a rough training plan on your desk." Becky. Harmon smiled and gestured to Henson's desk, where an outline of the training plan had been printed.

After several years of exercise, Becky. Harmon has matured when it comes to developing a training plan.

"Thank you, Becky, I'll take a closer look at it later. On the first day of the pre-season camp, training focused on physical and physical recovery. Once I've decided on my training plan, we'll start the tactical exercises. Now let me talk about the work arrangements for you in the future. ”

Henson paused to keep up with his mind while working with him for the first time.

"Fraser and Steve, your job is to continue to mature the skills of the young players. Becky and McMillan, the individual training of the players is supervised by you. Silas, old friend, I need some fresh names, like before......"

After arranging everyone's tasks roughly, the coaching staff dispersed and got to work. Henson, on the other hand, sat behind his familiar desk, and countless memories poured out in an instant.

But Henson is well aware that one cannot live only in the glory of the past. The purpose of his return is to create a new brilliance!

Henson then invoked his badge. That "pre-season" badge hasn't been used for a long time.

Before retiring, Henson had upgraded this badge to level 3. In other words, Henson can now nominate three players to improve one of their abilities to some extent.

As for how this badge should be distributed, Henson had already planned for a long time.

First, Henson added Brooke. Lopez's three-point shooting ability. Next season, the All-Star center's long-range shooting will be one of the key tactical threats for the Pacers.

Secondly, Henson added Antetokounmpo's ability to attack the frame. He believes next season's Antetoquint will be a big killer in the frame. Once the space is pulled away, Antetokounmpo's onslaught can cost all teams.

In the end, Henson promoted Paul again. George's ability to dribble. After this ascension, Henson believes that Paul. George will turn into one of the league's top scorers!

Of course, the Henson badge doesn't end there.

Outstanding Staff Level 2: Increase the trust of team employees by 20%.

Team Chemistry Level 1: Reduces the impact of tacit destruction by 10%.

Injury Reduction Level 3: 30% reduction in the likelihood of injury or illness.

Quick Recovery Level 2: The effect is to increase the injured player's injury recovery speed by 20%.

Fitness Facility Level 2: +20% stamina and progress speed for all players.

Fatigue Reduction Level 2: Reduces the player's fatigue accumulation rate by 20%.

Defensive Awareness Level 1: Increases defensive awareness by 10% for all players.

The change he has made to the team is obvious, with so many badge bonuses, plus his own experience and prestige. Henson is confident that he will be able to succeed again!

Are the Golden State Warriors strong? Are they bound to win the championship?

The corners of Henson's mouth curled slightly, but the media thought so......
