184: A boy or a man

Henson's confidence is not "fancy confidence", because he knows very well that there are actually a lot of players who can play the No. 1 position in the Pacers right now.

Whether it's Hinrich or Stephenson, although they are not at Paul's level, they are enough as a point of possession.

So, Henson was very relieved to give Paul two days off. Paul was absent in the first game against the Knicks and returned in the second. Now all Henson has to do is consider whether to start with Stephenson or Hinrich.

Stephenson has improved a lot this season, both in terms of shooting consistency and ball control stability, which is a lot better than last season. In the game against the Lakers, Stephenson has already shown his potential to play the No. 1 position. Able to attack, pass and defend, Stephenson is very close to what Henson expects from him.

And Hinrich, although his playing time this season has been further squeezed, the white defender who was once selected for the Dream Team is still conscientious as long as he plays. Although Hinrich's ability in all aspects is not particularly outstanding at the moment, he can still do it with a steady command of the team.

However, considering that the starting point guard of the Knicks is Jeremy Lin, Henson still decided to use Stephenson to play the starting No. 1 position. For one, on the offensive end, Stephenson has an advantage in height and confrontation. Second, Stephenson is definitely the kind of "game-type" player, he is more energetic, and the stronger the opponent, the more excited he is.

Believing that the name of "Lin Crazy" has already made Stephenson a little unable to suppress the excitement in his body. If Henson had told him, "Go on the court and prove you're better than that Chinese defender," Stephenson would have worked very hard.

Rubbing his temples, Henson turned off his computer and prepared to leave work. But at this time, his mobile phone rang.

At first, Henson thought it was Anjiali, after all, the two now talk on the phone every night, which has become a habit. But when Henson took out his phone, he suddenly felt a chill in his heart, and it seemed that someone was in trouble again.

※※※

Henson, wearing sunglasses, appeared at the door of the police station. Due to the special situation, there were already police officers waiting outside the gate of the police station. Henson looked up at the place, the last time he was here was the year before. At that time, he had just started the first day of training as a head coach with the Pacers.

At that time, the Pacers were still aiming for the playoffs. Before you know it, the current Pacers are already aiming for the first place in the East.

"Coach Henson, I didn't expect to see you again." As soon as Henson arrived, he was greeted by the police officer at the door. This face Henson knows, it is the same Hader who docked with him the year before last. Officer Miller.

"I have to tell the truth, officer. I couldn't be happier to see you again. Who is it? Chris. Anderson or Lance. Stevenson? When Henson got the call, the police department only told him that a Pacers player had been arrested. Henson didn't have time to ask what the cause or who it was, so he hurried over.

And Anderson and Stephenson are undoubtedly the Pacers' most "criminal talent" candidates.

Henson is well aware that "Birdman" Anderson has been banned by the league for taking medicine. And to Denver, to Colorado, to smoke big. Hemp is even more legal. Colorado is one of the few largest in the United States. Where hemp is legal. Therefore, Henson speculates that the reason why "Birdman" was abandoned by the Nuggets is most likely because this guy "flies" a little too unscrupulously in Denver.

But to Indiana, the big. Hemp is no longer legal. Although Anderson has been well-behaved since coming to Indianapolis, he has also shown more maturity than before. However, the possibility that he will regain his old love still exists.

So from the very beginning, Henson always thought that it was "Birdman" Anderson who was arrested. But when he saw the people in the police station, he realized that he had really wronged the "birdman". I just decided to let Stephenson play the starter, and that guy poked out another moth!

"Lance, yes, him!" Henson gritted his teeth angrily, he didn't expect that almost two seasons later, Stephenson would still stage such a farce.

Also, Stephenson has performed very well this season, and he must have made a lot of money. For him, who has been eager to make a fortune from basketball since he was a child, he may not be able to float now. Once this kind of guy has a satisfied life, he has the energy to mess with all that mess.

"Actually, it's not serious, he's just speeding in the city. Belch...... It seems quite serious. When we stopped him, he was very emotional and had a verbal altercation with the police officers, and the resistance was fierce. Luckily, we didn't find any prohibited firearms or drugs from him or from his car. But I can't figure it out, since there is no contraband, why did he resist so fiercely? Originally, speeding was just a trivial matter, but when he made such a fuss, he came to the police station instead. "Officer Miller was very patient in explaining to Henson the ins and outs of the whole thing.

"I can't figure it out, Officer Miller. That guy," Henson looked at Miller and pointed to his head, "the brain is not the same as a normal person. ”

When Henson met Stephenson, he was looking at the officers nonchalantly. But the moment he saw Henson, this guy lowered his proud head like a child.

The officers' expressions relaxed a lot, because they all knew that Coach Henson was coming, and Stephenson couldn't jump.

Henson clenched his fists, his face expressionless. Don't think that it's okay if you have an expressionless face, Stephenson knows very well that Henson's expressionless face just shows that he is very angry.

Can you not get angry? Originally, Henson thought that the team had stabilized, and thought that Stephenson and others could also start to become stronger from the heart. However, it didn't take long for Stephenson to push himself to the forefront.

I believe that tomorrow morning, the news about the arrest of the Pacers players for speeding will definitely be able to overshadow all the conversation. If you can be arrested for exceeding your speed, Stephenson will undoubtedly refresh your lower IQ limit.

"I ...... I just don't want them to search me, I hate strips. Stephenson didn't dare to look up at Henson, not because he was afraid of anything, but because he knew that he had let Henson down. He didn't want to see the disappointed look in his eyes from the coach who had saved his basketball career.

Stephenson, who grew up in a chaotic neighborhood, may feel sensitive when he sees a police officer. But others don't like the police anymore and will wait for the police to check and then scold them. However, Stephenson's tendon is a little too direct.

Henson didn't listen to Stephenson's explanation, and said to himself: "Do you think your basketball career has reached its peak?" Can you already do whatever you want without playing hard? Do you feel that playing hard and winning is no longer enough for you? Or do you want me to send you back to New York? Tomorrow, it's against the Knicks. Those who looked down on you now look down on you even more, Lance. ”

"Behold, Stephenson is still that bird, and he will destroy himself sooner or later. See, Coach Henson is a stupid yellow-skinned monkey, because no normal person would trust a guy like Stephenson. Congratulations, Lance, tomorrow countless New Yorkers will say that about us and wait to see our jokes. ”

"I'm sorry, Boss......" Henson's cold tone made Stephenson's voice tremble a little.

"Don't tell me I'm sorry, Stephenson. You're not sorry for me, you're sorry for yourself. Tomorrow's starter, you are no longer you. After Henson finished speaking, he got up and prepared to go through the formalities, and as soon as he took a step, Henson turned his head again.

"Now tell me, Lance, are you a boy or a man. Men use their brains to make decisions, while boys make decisions with their hearts. After saying that, Henson didn't pay any more attention to Stephenson and left directly.

The last time Stephenson made trouble, Henson had just become a head coach, and he didn't have the results and didn't have the prestige he has now, so he handled the matter in a relatively gentle way.

But now, he felt it was time to teach Stephenson a lesson. Denver pardoned Anderson, who finally got a big contract, so that Anderson finally changed from a boy to a man. Stephenson, on the other hand, needs a similar transformation.

Stephenson buried his head between his hands, "I'm sorry......"

He muttered repeatedly.
