“...... At the end of the parade, Coach Henson presented his girlfriend Angelie Henson in front of all Indianapolis fans. Ranadivi successfully proposed. Originally, the two planned to get married this summer, but now it seems that they plan to consider getting married later. Coach Henson's statement is that he doesn't want to be too hasty, but wants to have an ingenious wedding. Let's look at the next message......"

On the radio of the taxi, some hot news that has attracted much attention in the past few days is being broadcast. The news of Henson's proposal to Angeli made the taxi driver smile, and in doing so, he started a conversation with the passenger in the back seat.

"If you want me to say, Henson. Joe is probably the most individual head coach in the league. Proposing to your girlfriend in front of a million fans? This guy is really swaggering. ”

"yes, Henson. Joe has always been like this. You never know what he's going to surprise you in the next second. The passenger in the back smiled, and he turned his head to look out the window to find that the city of Chicago had been filled with advertisements for joint tryouts.

"Sir, you watch basketball too?" The driver asked.

"In fact, I'm still a basketball professional. Of course, I don't have Henson. Joe is so famous. ”

"Basketball practitioners!? No wonder you're going to the Union Center! Today is the day of the NBA rookie joint tryout, sir, are you a scout? The driver was a little excited, but the passenger shook his head in denial and disappointed him.

"No, I'm not a scout. I was just...... A little sports reporter, hahahahaha. ”

"Then you probably won't get any valuable news today, as we all know, this year's draft is a draft year. I've heard that until now, the Clevelands haven't decided who they're going to sign with the No. 1 pick. I heard that the ticket to this year's draft is only $30, which shows how worrying the quality of this draft is. ”

"yes," replied the back-seated passenger, who could already see the huge Union Center arena through the window, "yes, that's right, the quality of this draft is worrying." But I believe that in every draft, there are always a few people who can stand out. Moreover, this year, the Pacers also got a 15th pick in the draft while winning the championship. I'm curious to see what Coach Henson will do after his marriage proposal. You know, he's always had a good eye for the draft. ”

"Yes, Coach Henson was so lucky. The mid-season pick he received from the Bucks turned out to be a 15th pick. If this pick is put to good use, it may be able to dig up treasures. Oh, it looks like there's a lot of traffic at the United Center entrance. Can I drop you off here? You just need to take a few steps. ”

"No problem, it's probably faster to walk over than to block it." The passenger happily paid for the bus and got off the bus with his briefcase.

Union Center, Chicago Basketball Mecca. But today's United Center is his holy place!

Just then, the passenger's cell phone rang. He hurriedly took out the phone and looked at it, and the name on the caller ID made him smile - Henson. Joe.

"Silas, where have you been?" On the phone, the young man's spiritual shouts were heard.

"When I got to the door, there was already a used car trading market outside the United Center, so I got out of the car and walked over!"

"Well, I thought you were surrounded by your fans. Come on, Vogel and I have arrived. ”

"It's coming soon, and besides, I don't have fans. And, I told the driver that I was just a sports reporter. Silas smiled, and when he looked up again, he had arrived at the gate of the United Center!

※※※

Silas found Henson and Vogel in the stands of the training gym, and as usual, the Pacers still fielded a "dream lineup" consisting of Henson, Vogel and Silas in this year's joint tryout.

As for Brad, who did a good job with the Pacers last season. Stevens, if nothing else, should be on the plane to Boston right now.

Because Stevens was so good last season, it took just one season for the former Butler College Bulldogs coach to catch the attention of other teams.

With the championship coach Doug. With Rivers' departure, the historic Celtics desperately need a head coach to take control. And the discerning Danny. Angie took a fancy to Henson's assistant and extended an invitation to him.

From assistant coach to head coach, this is an opportunity that all coaches dream of. And there's a very practical factor – being a head coach is getting a higher salary than being an assistant coach.

So while Henson admires Stevens very much, the two of them have a very good personal relationship. But Henson could not have thwarted Stevens' private development because of his own interests.

So for Stevens to go to Boston, Henson is very supportive. From now on, "Henson's coaches" will also start to spread around the league!

If Stevens does sign with the Celtics, Henson is still looking forward to playing the Green Shirts next season. If the two can meet in the playoffs in the future...... I guess it's going to be a pretty exciting game.

"How? Is the quality of these rookies in 13 years really as bad as people say they are? After saying hello to Henson and Vogel, Silas got straight to the point.

"No, the '13 draft is full of talent. Although it is not a big year for the draft, there are still some young people worth paying attention to. See the little guard doing the sprint? That inch. Henson said, gesturing to the field.

"You mean C.J. McCollum? He's a senior and has average physicality. Although the prediction is in the lotto area, it is also the lower position in the lotto. You say he's good, what's so good? ”

"Projection, don't forget how we won against the Spurs in this year's finals. The Spurs' three-pointers nearly killed us, and our three-pointers cost us a championship. Projection, the most basic scoring method in basketball, is gradually being developed to the maximum. Space has become increasingly important in the game, and many guards with mediocre physical qualities but excellent shooting skills will rise in the league in the future. It's a big trend, unless there's another super inside line like O'Neal. Otherwise, the trend is irreversible. ”

Henson has coached the game for three years, and although it is not a long time, it is also quite impressive. In his first year in charge of the competition, that set of one big and four small was considered an outlier and unreasonable. And now, even the Spurs are playing one big and four small, and they are all using a spatial interior.

Space and projection, in the modern era without a super center, every team wants to win the game in this way.

"Projection? Well, you have a point. So why did you fall in love with Antetokounmpo, who couldn't shoot? I've got his stats here, Henson. For that kid's sake, I lived in Spain for a short time. I can use my personality to guarantee that Antetokounmpo's shooting looks as bad as his statistically accurate shooting percentage. Silas handed the data to Henson, who casually glanced at Antetokounmpo's three-point shooting percentage in the Spanish league, which was 31.4 percent.

And the three-point line in the NBA is farther than the three-point line in the Spanish league......

"Don't forget the premise I said, a mediocre defender can rely on projection. And Antetokounmpo ...... That kid's physical fitness is not mediocre at all. He's one of the few outside players who can get a foothold in the league without projection. ”

"Outside line?" Vogel was taken aback, "I thought you were trying to make him play the number four position!" To the naked eye, that guy might be taller than Al. Horford: Right. ”

"No, actually, you can't define a position for Antetokounmpo. If you want me to say, he can play in all five positions. But ideally, put him in the number three position. Someone is coming, so let's not mention Antetokounmpo. ”

"Henson, long time no see! Come so early, which rookie do you fancie? As soon as Henson's voice fell, Bucks general manager John Brown. Hammond walked toward Henson with open arms.

"I didn't like any of them, the media said it well, this is a draft year." Henson politely hugged Hammond, thanking Hammond for his willingness to trade with him in the first place, and he remembered that he owed Hammond a favor, but that didn't mean he would tell Hammond about his plans.

Never let your opponent know what you're thinking, that's Henson's rule.

"Come on, Henson, I'm not going to spy on you. But as an old friend, as an old friend who got your 28th pick. I'm asking you a question from all sincerity, and I hope you'll recommend me a name or two to keep an eye on. That's right, you've repaid my favor, Henson. ”

Hammond is smart, and he knows Henson has a good eye. Since the Bucks don't have a goal, let Henson recommend a couple of potential rookies. He believes that even with the 28th overall pick, Henson can still play with it.

"Don't be so polite, it's just a gesture. I can give you a few names, 28th in line, and there are actually a lot of options. For example, the French center, Rudy. Gobert. "Henson actually has a couple of names, and any rookie is transparent to Henson in front of the data analytics module.

And that French centre-forward, Henson was able to see his top potential in the A-class! On top of that, Gobert's prediction is at the end of the first round.

"It's Rudy. Gobert, his name is not pronounced in French with the last letter 't'. Silas corrected.

"Well, whether his name is Gobert or Gobert, as long as you can pick that big spider with the 28th pick, you've earned it. And the Colorado guard over there who was lifting dumbbells. Robertson, I know, his stats in college were mediocre. But trust me, Robertson's defensive prowess will make you shine. ”

Henson said as the Bucks staff recorded names. Hammond smiled with satisfaction and patted Henson on the shoulder. He knew that this championship coach never fought unprepared battles! If there really weren't any noteworthy people in this joint tryout, Henson wouldn't have come.

"Thank you for the name, Henson. I think we're even. ”

"In fact, I could give you more names. But in the end, I can't help if you can pick them or not. ”

"That's enough for those names, Henson. In other words, is this really a draft year? How can you give me more names? Hammond looked at Henson meaningfully.

"Whether it's a draft year or not depends on who defines it. This has to do with everyone's vision, and those journalists often don't have much vision. ”

Hammond shook his head, yes, there is no draft year at all, only people's eyes!

Henson is a real scary, because every season when he is drafted, he already wins at the starting line!

Hammond is a little scared now, not so much because he was afraid that Henson would lie to him, but because he was afraid that the 15th draft pick he gave Henson would strengthen the Pacers' dominance of the league......

Draft year? No, in front of Henson, every year the draft is as rich as a gold mine.
