Henson is right, the media and fans will care about her sooner or later.

On July 15, two days after the start of the Las Vegas Summer League, the Indiana Pacers, the league champions, held a press conference in the media reception room of the Bankers Living Arena.

In addition to Larry, the conference was attended by Larry. In addition to Bird, there is also a high-profile Chinese-American coach, and he is also the only meritorious coach in NBA history who can win the Coach of the Year award for consecutive years. Joe.

At first, people thought the Pacers had made some lightning signing. But when the protagonist of this press conference appeared, everyone was stunned.

Looking at the stunned gazes of the reporters below, Henson smiled proudly. Before you know it, the Pacers have dropped another depth charge on the league!

"Becky...... Becky. Harmon officially became an interim assistant coach of the Pacers and will be part of the team at this year's Las Vegas Summer League? A reporter shuddered and repeated what Bird had just announced, and sure enough, the essence of human beings is a repeater.

"You say it word for word, Mr. Reporter. From today onwards, Becky. Ms. Harmon is part of the Indiana Pacers' coaching staff. If you have any questions, just ask. ”

"Is that what Coach Henson meant, or do you mean? Bird? A chubby reporter raised his hand, the look of surprise on his face still lingering.

'It was a decision I made after discussions with Coach Henson, and of course, it was Coach Henson who came up with the idea at the beginning.

After Bird answered, there was another uproar below. They had already guessed that it was Henson's madman who suggested it! Using a woman as an assistant coach? Except for Henson. Joe, who would have come up with such a ridiculous thing!

"Coach Henson, we all know that Brad. Stevens' departure left a void on the Pacers' coaching staff. So what do you think that Becky. Will Ms. Harmon's addition fill that void? ”

Hearing that this incident was Henson's idea, the reporters immediately aimed their guns at the Chinese coach.

This may sound like a routine question, but it's actually a mystery. If Henson's answer fills the void, the media will play up Henson's ability to underestimate Stevens. If Henson says can't be filled, there's no doubt that Becky. Harmon would be quite embarrassed again.

Henson smiled, he was in the fourth year of his tenure as head coach. also uses this kind of carving insect technique, I don't know whose IQ I am insulting. In this world, there are always people who think they are smarter than others! And there are a lot of such people in the sports journalist industry.

"It doesn't matter if you can fill it, it doesn't matter if you say it, you have to say it, you have to have the final say. Brad. Stevens is undoubtedly a great coach and likewise, I believe in Becky. Ms. Hamon's abilities. I decided to hire her because she was the right person for the job, but she just happened to be a lady. Mr. Reporter, stop using your brains and ask questions. ”

Sure enough, a short trip to France didn't make Henson gentle. He's still him, the rampaging bastard head in the eyes of the media.

Subsequently, the reporters still asked a lot of questions, but they did not get any substantive answers.

Henson was right, Becky. Whether Harmon is qualified to be a member of the championship uniform team or not is anyone's guess, but only the competition can verify.

And after today's press conference, the entire basketball circle was suddenly attracted by a lady!

"Becky. Harmon signed with the Indiana Pacers, and the two sides will decide whether to sign a guaranteed contract based on their performance in the summer league! ”

"Becky. Will Harmon become the first female full-fledged assistant coach in NBA history? Let's look forward to her performance in the Summer League. ”

"Henson. Joe is making big news again, and he's decided to hire a lady to fill the void left by Stevens! ”

Transfer? Trade? Personnel changes? Let's go for it, and now, the entire basketball news page is covered by Becky. Harmon occupied.

The Pacers are silent, and once they make a move, they will definitely make big news!

The day after the press conference, in Las Vegas, the Indiana Pacers played against the Minnesota Timberwolves. The reporters found that the atmosphere of this summer league has become very different from before!

First of all, it was discovered that Larry. Bird, Henson. Joe and his fiancée, Angeli. Rana Divi was there and sat next to the team's bench.

In response, NBATV commentators joked, "Coach Henson is back to coach the summer league." ”

Of course, Henson won't be in charge of this game. Today, he is only there as a spectator. In the past, in order to control the growth of rookies, Henson did personally lead the team to play in summer league. But now, as a championship coach, Henson has no need to play in summer league.

Last season, Summer League was left to Stevens. In the first two games of the season, it was Steven who led the team to play in the summer league. Silas. That's right, not to mention Henson as a head coach, the Pacers don't even bother to send Frank. Vogel is the head assistant coach who directs the summer league.

And before today's game began, Henson told his old friend Silas that you kid was finally free.

"Teach her the command, and then use your vast experience to teach that lady what to do?"

Henson's words can be summed up simply, giving Becky the top command of the summer league. Harmon, and see what that lady is capable of!

And Silas, as a person who claims to be "there is nothing in the league that I haven't done", is naturally the best mentor for Harmon to adapt to the NBA.

And just like that, a high-profile summer league began. The arena where the summer league is held is not very large, and can only accommodate a few thousand people. But as the NBA became more commercialized, the live streaming of summer league was gradually improved. Now, even the summer league games have been able to switch the camera without dead ends.

So today, Becky is sitting on the sidelines in a suit and high heels. Harmon has become a frequent visitor to close-ups. Her peculiarity has even overshadowed the competition itself.

"I've never seen a coach on the bench wearing high heels, hehe." The on-site commentary is ridiculous.

The game didn't go well, and the Timberwolves' small guard selected with the ninth pick this year, Trey. Burke, became a big problem. On the Pacers' side, Antetokounmpo's performance was very mediocre.

Even if it's just the summer league, the intensity here is already faster, higher, and stronger than the Greek league and Spanish league he played before.

Antetokounmpo, who is skinny, can neither show intimidation on the defensive end nor break through effectively on the offensive end.

But Henson wasn't worried about it at all. Antetokounmpo is not LeBron. James and "Big Shark" O'Neal are the kind of players who can call the wind and rain as soon as they enter the league.

This guy's exposure to basketball has always been too short, and the exposure to high-level games is almost zero! So it's human nature that I don't adapt to the NBA yet.

But Antetokounmpo's terrible physical condition and his A+ potential will not be fake. As long as these two things are there, Henson can guarantee that Antetokounmpo will not be eliminated from the league. No matter how bad he is, he can become a quasi-All-Star caliber player. It's just that he needs time, and besides, a rookie with a 15th pick, and you can expect him to dominate the game as soon as he enters the league?

Four minutes into the game, the Timberwolves relied on Trey. Burke's smart breakaway gave the Pacers a four-point lead. Henson looked at the situation and then at his watch, and muttered softly to himself, "It's almost timeout." ”

Henson had just finished speaking, Becky. Harmon stood up and shouted to stop the game! Her precise timing of the timeout surprised Henson a little.

"The Pacers have a timeout, let's see Becky. What will Hamon, the female head coach in NBA Summer League history, do! ”

"No, no...... Her voice would be drowned out by the wheezing of the players. Believe me, this pause would be a disaster. A narrator joked.

Harmon picked up the tactical board and sat in front of the players with a small bench. Her actions seemed so natural, as if she were an experienced coach. But this is actually her first day as a basketball team coach!

"Your defenses are too loose! The WNBA is stronger than you! Afraid of what!? Afraid that the Timberwolves players will eat you!? ”

Harmon shouted, his voice so fierce that even the fans in the third row of the stands could hear it! The players also raised their heads sharply, as if awakened by the sound.

The commentator was silent, they didn't see Becky as they had hoped. Harmon was embarrassed. Henson was also shocked, he didn't expect Becky. Harmon knows everything so well.

"On the confrontation, can't let Trey. Burke broke through easily. Even if he wants to break through and score, he will have to pay the price! Janis, use your long arms to interfere with their frames and interfere with their passing! I'm not asking you to go on the court to run back and forth, use your long arms, block them, steal them! If those bitches dare to enter the forbidden area, you let them taste it, understand!? ”

"Yes, Coach!"

Watching the movement from the bench, Bird and Henson looked at each other, then smiled at each other.

"I must say, I underestimated him before." Bird shook his head, not all coaches have this kind of courage, let alone a female coach!

Except for stepping on a pair of high heels, Harmon behaves no different from a man!

"Our coaching staff will be buzzing in the future, Bird. If I were you, I'd contact Stephen right now. Simon. Tell him it's time to add a women's locker room to the Bankers' Life Arena. ”

Henson stared at the court, he hadn't been so interested in summer league in a long time......
