The half-way summary of the TV station gave fans a new understanding of the situation of the season. After all, it's impossible for one fan to follow all the teams' matches. So for most fans, they are actually judging the strength of some teams with stereotypes.

However, the half-way summary is still very subversive of the inertial thinking of fans. For example, they let fans know that the Celtics are no longer strong and that the Lakers, who once won two consecutive championships, are now a team of the same grade as the Grizzlies...... Of course, the most subversive of them is the Indiana Pacers, a team that has been rotten for an unknown number of years, and now forms a new Eastern Big Three with the Heat and the Bulls!

"The Big Three in the East? Well...... I don't like the term Big Three. Henson had the newspaper in his hand, and although he complained that he didn't like it, he still had a smile on his face.

"To be honest, Henson, even I didn't expect our results to be so good." Vogel looked out the window of the plane, still a little excited about his first All-Star Weekend.

At this time, Henson, Vogel, George, Paul and Horford, five people with All-Star Game missions, were sitting on the plane to Orlando.

Needless to say, Paul and Horford are members of the All-Star Game. George wasn't selected to the All-Star Game, but he competed in this year's rookie game and slam dunk contest.

As for Leonard and Jimmy. Butler, although Henson is quite satisfied with the performance of these two guys. But after all, the two of them are defensive players, and defensive players are not destined to have too flashy statistics. Therefore, there is no way to lose the All-Star Rookie Game.

However, Henson was not disappointed by this, because he knew very well that Leonard and Jimmy. Butler's stage is more than just an All-Star rookie game. In the future, there will be more opportunities for them. Henson, of course, was referring to the opportunity to play in the All-Star Game.

"Is it hard for you to think that in having Chris. Will we be worse after Paul than we were last season? Henson looked at his assistant, and Vogel's biggest problem was not being confident enough, or rather, being too cautious.

"Of course I thought we'd be in the top three in the East, but the top three in the East have a lot of records. But 26-6...... God, I've never experienced such a great result before. ”

"Don't worry, Frank. When the playoffs begin, it's time to be surprised. Now, don't talk about the regular season. It's All-Star Weekend, so enjoy your hard-earned comfort. With that, Henson leaned back in his chair and closed his eyes beautifully.

The Pacers' All-Star Game team seems to have gotten bigger and bigger......

All-star weekend, it seems to have turned into a Chinese Spring Festival Gala. People are scolding every year, saying that there is no innovation. But at this time, every fan will turn on the TV one after another, and after watching it, they will exclaim: It's really fragrant.

This year's All-Star Weekend is no exception, and due to the impact of the shortened season, this year's All-Star Weekend is actually not very high-profile, and the outlook is very worrying. Howard, the All-Star voter, received just over 1.6 million votes, which is only about half of Howard's 2009 election as the top voter. And in 2008, even Yao Ming, who was not the king of votes, had 2.53 million tickets, which shows how deserted this year's All-Star Weekend was.

However, when Henson arrived in Orlando, he still experienced a very strong all-star atmosphere.

Promotional posters lining the streets, fans from all over the world, and press vans everywhere make Orlando very different.

"I thought this All-Star would be really cold, but it seems that I was overthinking." Sitting in a business car arranged by the league, Henson couldn't help but pull out his phone and take pictures of Orlando during the All-Star period.

"Just because fans are less enthusiastic about voting doesn't mean they're less passionate about basketball. George, how prepared are you for the slam dunk contest? Paul sat at the front and was able to talk to everyone.

"Well, pretty well prepared. To be honest, I'm very excited to participate in the slam dunk contest. "George is gearing up, he's always been an off-ball shooter scorer, and this time to speak with a dunk is naturally a new challenge for George.

"Don't worry, George, we'll all be there to cheer you on. Enjoy, it's sure to be a night out for you. Henson sat behind and patted George on the shoulder, and of course, he just told George to enjoy it, not to win.

After all, in the All-Star Weekend game, winning or losing really doesn't really matter that much. As long as the players can have fun, it's the best result.

"Where are you going to have fun tonight?" Don't tell me you're staying in a hotel. I heard that there is a nice new nightclub here, are you going to come? Paul turned his head expectantly, it was a good thing Stephenson wasn't there, otherwise the guy's head would have been a quick nod.

It's normal for NBA players to like to have fun, and it's nothing more than gambling, drinking, women, and of course, more excessive, it's likely that they will touch drugs. But fortunately, no one in the Pacers has that fetish, and Anderson, who once had this fetish, has now become a good boy.

So as long as the bottom line of "medicine" is not touched, Henson generally does not interfere too much in the private lives of the players. So when Paul offered to take everyone out to play, Henson didn't object.

Professional players are a group of adults, and if you use the same trick as managing children to press them, it is no wonder that there is no chaos.

Everyone in the car nodded, but Vogel refused Paul's offer. After all, Vogel is older, and he would rather have a good night's rest in a hotel than go to a nightclub to burn his energy. After all, this season's intensive schedule is still quite grinding.

"What about you, Coach Henson." In the end, only Henson remained.

"Me? I'm not going. You guys play, just don't get drunk. Tonight, I have an appointment. ”

After Henson finished speaking, Horford immediately laughed evilly. Don't forget, this time last year, Henson and Angelie stole the limelight from Rivers just by sitting in the stands.

Yes, this kind of event, how could Coach Henson's young girlfriend be absent?

"Well, we'd better not disturb the boss tonight." Horford winked at Paul.

In fact, Paul and the others couldn't even bother Henson if they wanted to, because since arriving in Orlando and returning to the hotel, Henson of the Pacers. Coach Joe just "disappeared".

It wasn't until the day of the Rookie Challenge that Coach Henson was seen in the audience. And, of course, his sexy, beautiful and youthful girlfriend by his side.

The two held hands in the stands and even kissed unscrupulously when the camera came. It has to be said that Coach Henson can be the center of attention wherever he goes.

But what happiest Henson is the rise of the Pacers element during the All-Star period.

In the Rookie Challenge, George became the second best young player after Irving. Although Irving, who was high-profile and played more fancy, won the MVP of the rookie game, George undoubtedly took advantage of this All-Star to harvest a wave of fans.

On the second day of the slam dunk contest, the Jazz benched the least star player of the All-Star Weekend, Jeremy. Evans won the slam dunk contest in an upset. This player, who averaged only 1.7 points per game for the Jazz, would probably not have had anything to do with the All-Star in his life if he hadn't replaced Shambaugh in the slam dunk contest.

However, at the slam dunk contest, he seized the opportunity to shine, at least adding a little sparkle to his career.

Of course, George's dunk flying over teammate Horford and the dunk in a fluorescent jersey have also become one of the classic images in the dunk contest. There is no doubt that the Pacers players are still the focus of fans' attention at today's slam dunk contest.

And a day later, in the All-Star Game, the Pacers swept the entire All-Star Weekend!

Henson appeared in a bright blue suit, while Angeli wore a blue slim-fitting dress. When Henson and Angeli stepped into the arena, reporters thought it was an entertainment star walking the red carpet.

Before the game even started, Henson was in the limelight. Western Stars coach, also very young Scott. Brooks shook his head and smiled: "Coach Henson is definitely the most famous and unique coach among the 30 teams in the league now, of course, with him, I am embarrassed to accept the title of young coach." ”

Although Brooks is also known as the "young coach", in fact, this guy is also an old man who is almost 50 years old. Compared with the 32-year-old Henson, he is not young at all.

During the game, Henson always yelled on the sidelines very seriously, attracting the attention of the photographers on the scene again and again. But in fact, this guy shouted things that were not nutritious, such as "well done", "really accurate", "awesome" and so on.

But Henson knows that the entire All-Star Game itself is a huge "farce." Since you want to make trouble, let's have a good time!

"It's probably the first All-Star Game ever with a head coach taking that many shots." Even O'Neal smiled at Henson, and if he was still playing, he would definitely have a "spark" with Henson in the All-Star Game.

In the end, the Western Stars still defeated the Eastern Stars by 4 points, and the Thunder's young forward Kevin Brown. Durant was named the MVP of the All-Star Game.

But there's no doubt that Henson's performance, combined with Paul's first Eastern Conference All-Star starter and Horford's high-pitched dribbling on a couple of occasions, left a very strong impression on the minds of fans for the Pacers.

Are the current Indiana Pacers already so interesting? They have all-star coaches, all-star players, and a young guard who can compete in the dunk contest. Its level of participation may only be matched by the Miami Heat.

Before you know it, the corn yellow of Indianapolis has begun to spread in the Union......
