082: The Boss of the Players

Holiday drove to Henson's house at about 7:15 a.m., and as soon as he got out of the car, Holiday was dazzled by the various cars parked in front of Henson's house.

'It's new, it's the first time I've heard of a manager willing to pay out of his own pocket to invite players to a party during the season. Beside Holiday a white girl looked around curiously.

"Maybe that's the difference between basketball and football, baby." Holiday walked to Henson's house with his female companion, and saw a young girl holding Henson's arm from afar.

If that's right, it's the boss's mysterious girlfriend. But to Holiday find it a little incredible, Henson's mysterious girlfriend seems to be more ...... than his own girlfriend Still younger?

"Come here, Jule, you're the last one to arrive! Why are you dressed so formally? Participate in the draft? God, the draft is still six months away! Henson greeted Holiday warmly, complaining about Holiday being too formal.

This kind of private party is actually not like the kind of banquet that Herbert held before, this kind of party is more casual, so everyone only comes in casual clothes.

"Hello, Chief......" Holiday scratched her head embarrassedly, then glanced at Angeli suspiciously.

"By the way, haven't you always wanted to see what my girlfriend looks like? AN Jiali. Lanadivivi, the starting point guard for the University of California, Berkeley basketball team. Henson said, hugging Angeli's waist.

I don't know why, Anjiali still enjoys the feeling of Henson introducing herself to others. This seems to mean that she has really entered Henson's life.

"Uh...... This is ......" Holiday was also about to introduce his female companion, but was recognized by Anjiali first.

"You're Lauren. Cheney, oh my! That's it...... The forward of the U.S. national team, Lauren. Cheney! Anjiali covered her mouth in disbelief, this girl in front of her is an international player of the U.S. women's national team!

"You know her?" Holiday smiled, it seems that his girlfriend is much more famous than himself!

Of course, she was selected for the U.S. national team in 2008 and won the gold medal with the U.S. team at the Beijing Olympics! At that time, Sports Illustrated had a special article about her. What a blessing, Lauren! ”

The two women were visibly happy to get to know each other, and Holiday was just that, blending in with the party that had already begun.

Holiday walked inside only to find that Henson's small home was already crowded.

Most of the faces are familiar, and the Pacers are mostly young, and even Granger, the leader, is not yet 30 years old. So the party was lively and there was no coldness at all.

As for why Henson is throwing this party, no one cares anymore. After all, they are all young people, as long as there is fun, who cares why?

Although the players are just about having fun, Angeli hasn't forgotten Henson's purpose for throwing the party. She poured Henson a glass of champagne and signaled that it was time for him to go talk to her players. Talking to the players in this situation, they are more willing to talk up.

Henson first found Horford, who was sitting alone on the couch, and as an expatriate player, Horford's personality was not as flamboyant as that of a young American, and most of the time he was low-key and reserved. Even if he makes a beautiful block on the court, you rarely see him roaring in the sky.

"What's wrong, El? Homesick? Henson sat down next to Horford, and he was no longer serious on the training court, but like a friend, an ordinary, fun-loving friend like a young man.

"No, sir, I'm fine......." Horford squeezed out a smile, and Henson noticed that something was wrong with the kid's eyes.

Following Horford's line of sight, Henson spotted a young girl swaying to the music. No wonder...... Horford's eyes were straight.

Horford seemed to notice that Henson had discovered his secret, and couldn't help but withdraw his gaze in embarrassment.

Henson smiled, it seemed that his starting center was not homesick, but girlish.

"Angeli, why don't you introduce your friend to Al?" Henson was like a big brother who had seen through his little brother's thoughts, and Angali only whispered a few words in the girl's ear, and the girl walked over to Horford.

Looking at Horford's look of disbelief, Henson patted him on the shoulder. "Don't be nervous, Al, take it for yourself! Of course, don't be late for tomorrow's training! ”

Henson got up and made room for the girl. Henson then gave Angarie a thumbs up.

"They must be a good fit." An Jiali held the wine glass and looked at the results of her kneading with one hand.

"Why? Horford's guy is more introverted, and he's not very good at pleasing girls. Henson spread his hands, Horford's flirtatious ability and ability to respond on the basketball court are completely two extremes.

"Because they're both Dominicans, my friend's name is Emily. Vega, a Dominican model, now has a fashion store in Miami. And she, like Al, is reserved and low-key. ”

Looking at Henson's surprised eyes, Angelie blinked triumphantly. Sure enough, the friends of the billionaire's daughter are all extraordinary.

After a while, Henson was pulled over by the players, and the gossip youngsters asked how he had managed to "take such a young Angelie under his wing".

Henson naturally does not lose to the players in terms of lip service, and he told all his previous experience as a scout, which made the players laugh. And unconsciously, he also led the topic to Holiday .

"It's your turn, Jule. You've only been playing in the NBA for less than two years, how did you kidnap the American international! ”

Faced with Henson's inquiry and everyone's curious gaze, Holiday lowered his head in embarrassment and scratched his head.

"Actually...... I've been with Lauren since I was at UCLA. Then...... At the time, she mistook me for UCLA's leading point guard, Darren Brown. Collison, and talk to me......"

There was a laugh from the man's pile, and An Jiali couldn't help but laugh along. Co-author, Holiday was able to meet the American international, which was a complete accident.

Holiday and Lauren's erroneous romance, introverted Horford and Emily. Vega's pas de deux, Stephenson's comical and exaggerated expressions, Paul. George's cool impromptu rap ...... The party was very lively, and Henson was like a boss, in control.

That's right, Henson doesn't just need to be a manager, he needs to be the boss of this group of young people. A real boss, like a superstar in the locker room. The Pacers don't have a superstar, so Henson has to take the role of "superstar".

The boss of the team must not only have a voice in the position, but also be recognized by the players in private. Only then will this team play for Henson wholeheartedly.

The party lasted until 11 p.m., and because there was still training tomorrow and back-to-back games the day after tomorrow, Henson had to call the party over early.

The players were also obedient, said goodbye to Henson, and then went home obediently.

Unlike the afternoon training session two days ago, the players' bad luck seemed to be swept away by this reunion. For them, having such a special party with their coach and teammates is enough joy for them to have a Christmas.

Now, the Pacers players don't just respect or fear Henson, but they really like the maverick young coach.

After sending everyone away, Henson lay down on the couch tiredly. As he said before, going to a party like this is not much easier than coaching a game.

"How? Coach Henson? The result? Like an excited little cat, Angelie jumped lightly on Henson.

'It looks good, but hopefully tomorrow they'll be able to concentrate when they train. Hey, Angeli...... Thank you very much. Henson always thought that Angelie was just a fun-loving little girl, but now it seems that this girl is also extremely smart. This is probably the reason why those immature boys in college can't get into Anjiali's eyes.

"Don't thank me, no more," Angari leaned over and pressed against Henson's chest, then reached under the couch and pulled out a small box that seemed to have been hidden a long time ago, "Our party is not over yet." ”

Henson didn't expect that Anjiali even prepared "sports protective products" for herself......
