Beat Spurs, and then have a drink with **vic. Henson's trip to San Antonio has never been so enjoyable.

But what Vicky said in the chat made Henson feel a little uneasy, the old man has been a coach for so many years, and the advice he gave himself must be very helpful. The so-called good health does not seem to be just talking about fun as usual.

Indeed, to the average fan, the job of an NBA head coach seems to be nothing more than scolding Fang on the sidelines. But it's really just the tiniest part of a manager's job, and in order to be able to shout those tactics on the pitch, they have to spend a very, very long time studying tactics and opponents. The narrator, Van Gundy Jr., was a workaholic back then, and he lived almost in the coach's office. Henson, though not so exaggerated, does most of what he does when he goes home every night is watching videos and taking notes.

At the end of a game, after the media interviews and other work is completed, most of the players can go home and sleep, but the coach has to review the game as soon as possible to see how the players are doing and whether there are any problems in the execution of the tactics.

After reviewing the recording, taking the notes that should be taken, and thinking about the next adjustments, it is usually already early in the morning. Because the NBA game ends late. A situation like yesterday when I went to have a drink and relax with ** Vicky is actually very rare.

After washing up, rest for a few hours and start a new day of training again. While trainers and assistant coaches usually arrive earlier than Henson, most of the time he also has to keep an eye on the sidelines to make sure the players don't make mistakes during tactical drills. Where to cut, where to block and cover, these are all perfect. Comparing NBA-level games, you can't win casually, you have to keep improving every step of the way.

Phil. Jackson once described his life as a coach when he said: "When I was busy, I only changed my clothes every two or three days, because I didn't have the time and I couldn't take care of it at all. ”

These are still the flow of home games, 82 regular season games a season, and many of them are still on the road. The away team consumes a lot of players, and so does the cost of a manager. On more than one occasion, Henson fell asleep on the team bus or took the time to fly to study the game footage.

So, the job of the head coach is really hard. And most of their work requires the sacrifice of physical health. Looking at how many coaches in the NBA have eventually quit the game for "physical reasons", you can see that what Vicky said is anything but alarmist.

So after returning from San Antonio, Henson did think about some healthy schedules. However, the pace of the 82-season game was very dense and did not give coaches and players a respite at all. The "health plan" has only been implemented for a few days, and Henson, like many people who want to lose weight, has been "beaten back to its original shape" by his busy life.

Two days after the all-out retreat from San Antonio, the Pacers played another road trip. This time, the place where they fought was in Atlanta.

The Atlanta Hawks and Indiana Pacers have been hostile, mainly because of coach Henson. Joe and Larry. Drew is not quite on the right path.

Over the past two seasons, Henson has played against Drew, and the two have inevitably had a pre-game war of words. But this season, the game has not received much attention, and Drew did not mock Henson as a "half-ass" before the game, as he usually did.

After all, Henson is already a championship coach who is sought after by many. And the old Drew has almost not made any progress in the past two years due to his leadership, and his position is already in jeopardy. Management has given him an ultimatum that the Hawks will not renew his contract if Drew is still unable to lead the team to a breakthrough in the playoffs this season.

Henson and Drew's position in the league has long been incomparable to what it used to be.

Drew has been an assistant coach for decades and doesn't want his head coaching career to end in just three years. So he simply doesn't have the energy to attack Henson this season, and the elder Drew is already unable to defend himself, let alone be qualified to dictate a championship coach.

Although the Hawks have brought in Korver, Louis Brown, and the Hawks this season. Williams and Devon. Harris et al., but let Joe go. Johnson still has a significant impact on the Eagles' combat effectiveness.

Ironically, the Eagles were originally given to Joe. Johnson had a big contract, so he was reluctant to renew Horford's contract at a high price, which led to Horford's loss to the Pacers. And now without Horford and without Johnson, the Hawks management's strategy is undoubtedly a failure.

There wasn't much suspense, 99-86, and the Pacers beat the Hawks on the road. While the Hawks point guard Jeff. Teague's 16 points, 6 assists and 6 rebounds are very comprehensive, but Teague alone can't let the Hawks knock the defending champion off.

After the game, Drew and Henson shook hands lightly and left. Losing to the Pacers will never make Drew grumpy again, nor will it make Henson excited. Everyone must admit that Drew Sr. can no longer be called Henson's opponent......

Not only Drew, but in fact, many opponents who were difficult to deal with at the beginning have struggled to pose a threat to the Pacers this season.

After that, the Pacers continued to march high, defeating the Timberwolves, Wizards and Raptors respectively, and winning 8 consecutive victories to start the game! The Pacers have also become the only team that has not tasted defeat so far in the regular season.

It looks like the defending champions are on the losing track. But just the day after the victory over the Raptors, in the Pacers' back-to-back games against the Bucks, a small "accident" occurred.

On the court, George, who had been violated many times in this game, bravely broke through to the basket again. At this time, guarding the inside of the Bucks is Larry, a third-year player who has been in the industry for 10 years. Sanders.

Sanders' improvement this season has been very noticeable, and although he is technically rough and can't score, his contribution on the defensive end has been huge. And this guy is also in excellent physical condition, and when you see him, you know what it means to be a real "hands on your knees".

But Sanders, like the young "Birdman", likes to mess around and is arrogant. On the court, there is also some excessive passion.

Seeing George coming, Sanders directly slammed into it. Anyway, the referee didn't blow this kind of ball the first few times, and with this fluke mentality, Sanders slapped George's neck directly in the air and made a very dangerous foul move!

Seeing that George's little brother suffered a dumb loss, the eldest brother Paul naturally did not agree. He walked up and pushed Sanders away and reasoned with the other party.

Sanders is also a grumpy, he doesn't care if you're Paul or George or Paul. George, raise your fists and do it. The scene instantly became chaotic, and several players from both teams were involved in the conflict. Of course, most of them go to the rack.

However, seeing that George was not injured by this, Henson was very calm from start to finish. As long as the players are healthy, he believes that others will be able to resolve the conflict on their own.

Sanders' matter, Henson can keep calm. However, a subsequent decision by the referee made Henson unable to calm down.

"The referee will be fifty dozen boards and will be Larry. Sanders and Chris. Paul is both sent off! Truth be told, this was a bit of a grievance for Paul. Paul pushed Sanders away, but he didn't make any further moves. It's Sanders, and he even punched Paul! "Bill who was commentating the game live. As soon as Wharton finished speaking, he saw a Coke bottle fly into the court.

It's Henson. Joe smashed.

"Why was my player sent off, it was obviously my player who was hurt!" Henson didn't give the referee any face, and spat in the face.

"Please calm down, Mr. Coach!"

"Calm down, you're a mother's head! You exist to make sure the game is fair, but is the penalty you just made fair!? Just tell me, Larry. Sanders just then it wasn't an extremely dangerous, foul move on the player above the shoulder! Henson shook off Stevens' arm and continued to point at the referee's nose and curse.

Of course he was angry, after all Larry. It's not the first time Sanders has made these dangerous foul moves. Since the referee turned a blind eye, Paul must step up and take charge. You can't wait for the players to get injured before the referee comes forward, right? That's a referee.

"Mr. Coach, I'm doing this to control the game!" The referee has already raised his hands to indicate that he no longer wants to entangle with Henson.

"Why did you go so early!? The game went on for more than three quarters, and my players were not only violated this time! If you can try to control the game early, then the game won't get out of control at all! Do you have a standard? That's how you were a referee!? ”

"Get out!" Seeing that Henson was unrelenting, the referee didn't talk nonsense. After sending out Paul and Saunders, Henson was sent off the field!

"Leave it to me, Henson! Rest assured, you will win! Stevens immediately pushed Henson into the tunnel as he saw that Henson had clenched his fists. If you don't push it away, I'm afraid that things will be made bigger.

After such a small episode, the game finally resumed. Henson. Joe muttered and walked back to the tunnel, and by the shape of his mouth, he could tell that he was still reading the words that started with F.

Under the command of Stevens and Vogel, the Pacers won the game 99-85 despite losing Paul.

Comparatively, the Bucks are not strong in hard power. Monta. Ellis and Brandon. Jennings' backcourt combination has proven to be incapable of winning.

The game was also won, and the Pacers were leaving Milwaukee. I thought this was going to be the end of the matter, but at the press conference after the game, Henson's words almost didn't stop Adam, who was paying attention to this matter. Xiao Hua's mouth was crooked.

"Referee? He's a murderer who didn't kill anyone! If the referee turns a blind eye to dangerous foul action, it can undoubtedly easily lead to injury to the player. You say, what is this not a murderer? What if George gets injured today? Is he coming to play for me? ”

For the insults and doubts from the outside world, Henson can endure it. But Henson couldn't bear anything that would hurt the health of his players.

"Kill...... Murderer ......" Xiao Hua's eyelids jumped, although Henson originally intended to protect the players, but in Xiao Hua's view, this is simply the authority of the league was thrown to the ground by Henson and ravaged, as if he was also slapped by Henson. 8)
