667 Chapter 665: He's Coming

December 12th is just the third day after Christmas.

Although Christmas is over, the whole Indianapolis is still wrapped in a strong Christmas atmosphere.

The white snow, colorful Christmas trees and colorfully decorated buildings all reveal a festive and festive atmosphere.

As one of the most important buildings in the city of Indianapolis, the Bankers Life Arena is naturally arranged quite beautifully.Outside the arena, posters of players wearing Christmas costumes hung up.In the ticket hall of the arena, a five-meter-high Christmas tree has also become a holy place for tourists to take pictures.

And today, in the team's training hall, it is also full of warm and festive atmosphere.

"Damn, is it true or not!?"

When Antetokounmpo, who was the first to come to the training ground today, saw the situation in front of him, he felt a little unbelievable.

I saw a small Christmas tree placed in the corner of the training hall.And the most important thing is that there are still piles of presents under the Christmas tree!
The players scrambled to discuss one by one, and in the end, Stephenson boldly went up to look at the gift boxes.Only then did I realize that there were corresponding names on the gift boxes.And, a card was found inside the Christmas tree.

It says:

A gift for you.

— Henson Joe.

So, the players picked up the gift boxes one by one excitedly, and they all unwrapped the presents on the spot.

What Stephenson received was a cool lighter, and he was overjoyed.

Brogdon got a book by an author he often brought up in chats.

PJ Tucker got a pair of limited-edition sneakers, and Henson knew he liked it.

Lopez received a T-shirt with a cartoon pattern. Well, Henson was also shocked when he first learned about the dressing preferences of the giant Lopez.

In general, the players each received different gifts.Although the prices are different, the players will not feel unfair.After all, these small gifts are very suitable, and it can be seen that Henson carefully prepared them.

"I didn't expect the boss to be really caring."

"That's right, I didn't even have the Christmas tree when I left the training ground yesterday!"

"No wonder he was determined not to allow us to practice more yesterday. It turned out that one person secretly arranged this."

The players chatted about it, although Henson was very strict on weekdays.But, it's not without reason that he can get along well with the players.

Just as everyone was having fun with their gifts, Siakam scratched his head in confusion.Because under the Christmas tree, he didn't find the gift box with his name written on it.

"Without your gift? It shouldn't be!"

"Hey, did someone take it wrong?"

"Could it be that the boss forgot to release it?"

"Impossible, the boss will never be careless."

The players argued for a long time and searched for it for a long time.In the end, however, still nothing.

At this time, the time came to 08:30 in the morning.The door of the training hall was suddenly pushed open, and one didn't need to look to know that Henson must be there.

The Chinese coach is never late, but he is never early either.Everyone is used to this time.

Today, everyone did not start warming up, but stood neatly and looked at Henson.Henson also smiled at everyone, very satisfied with his masterpiece.

"So, you all received your presents?"

"Thanks, boss." The players replied in unison.

"By the way, Pascal didn't find his gift, boss, did you?" After Paul left, George naturally became the team's locker room leader.

Therefore, this No. 13 stood up and asked questions for Siakam.

"Pascal's gift is a bit special. He will be able to receive his own gift at two o'clock this afternoon."

Henson smiled mysteriously, then waved his hand, motioning everyone to continue training.

So, at two o'clock in the afternoon that day, a large number of reporters poured into the Pacers' training hall.

At this time, Siakam, who was holding the mobile phone, smiled naively.

On the screen of his mobile phone, the title in bold black has only a few simple words.

"Pascal Siakam was elected the Eastern Conference Player of the Week for the first time in his career!"

He likes this gift very much!

"You thought he could achieve such an achievement at the beginning?"

Bird leaned on the third-story armrest and looked at the training hall below. In the training hall, a large number of reporters flocked to Siakam, the new best player of the week.

Although he won the best player of the week, the winner does not have any material rewards, not even a small trophy.But such honors are much more precious to players than material rewards.

"Just kidding, I'm not a prophet, how did I know that kid could do this." Beside Byrd was a smiling Henson.

In the beginning, he rested Antetokounmpo just to give the Greeks a rest and practice Siakam by the way.

Who knew that if he was not careful, Siakam would come back with the best of the week.

"It's really a lot of talents. A substitute can win the best of the week by playing a week as a starter. I guess we can do it in the entire league."

"I have said a long time ago that my boys are all excellent. I think it is not impossible to defeat the five-star Warriors with the depth of our lineup this year!" Henson's eyes were firm, and it was not his ultimate goal to let Siakam win the best of the week.

"Well, the five-star Warriors, their lineup is really unfair to other teams. But to be honest, our bench players also have the best level of the week, which is also unfair to other teams. Look, Henson. In the last three days. No, in the last week, you and Siakam will be the protagonists of the media's scrambling to report."

Henson smiled slightly, it's great to have so many talented players.

"Are you sure he's ready?"

"There is no doubt that he will be able to play."

"Is the assessment detailed? We can't let him have another accident."

"There will be no accidents, we have already protected him."

"So, when can we fight?"

"Late January, maybe mid-January. Anyway, not too long."

"Well, when the time comes, do you think we can break the Pacers' dominance in the league?"

"Of course, he came here for this!"

"Well, I hope so. Then, hold a press conference in the afternoon."

The above conversation took place between two older men.They are called Steve Kerr and Bob Myers.

The former is the meritorious coach of the Warriors, and the latter is the general manager of the Warriors.

At this time, the things they are discussing will very likely directly change the situation of the season.

In the afternoon, Cole and Myers held a press conference. This conference made Larry Bird's prediction completely inaccurate.

Birdburn said Henson and Siakam will be discussed by fans and media all week long.However, that afternoon, when the Warriors' press conference was held, Siakam and Henson's enthusiasm dropped extremely.

At this moment, the whole world is scrambling to report one thing - DeMarcus Cousins ​​is coming back!
After seeing the news, Henson instantly became extremely serious.

He knew that a truly terrifying opponent this season was about to be born.
