Chapter 738 Chapter 736: The Last Sight

Henson stood on the training ground, watching his soldiers sweating on the court with relish.

Training Hall [-] at the Bankers Life Arena, this place is Henson's second home.Before starting a family of his own, Henson spent more time here than anywhere in a day.

On the court, the players are doing various special training.Of course, since it is during the finals, the amount of training is not large, basically it is mainly restorative training.

Even so, Henson was fascinated.Because this training ground carries too many memories of him.

Leonard, who always trains silently, and Chris Paul, who never admits defeat in training games.Stephenson, who loves to make strange noises, and George, who is serious
Henson has watched countless people change from unknown youngsters to superstars, from ordinary second-round picks to tens of millions of contracts on this training ground.Watching the "Queen Bee" grow old, watching Ray Allen retire. There are too many things that happened here.

Of course, he also bid farewell to too many people.

Daniel Granger, Jrue Holiday, Wesley Matthews, David West, Chris Anderson... This training ground has had all kinds of people come and go.

But when can he proudly tell himself that his players are always the most united and strongest when they are all together.This training ground is simply the foundation for the Pacers to build two dynasties!
"Today may be the last game of your career, how does it feel?"

In the morning, it was An Jiali's voice that woke Henson from his contemplation.In the afternoon, the woman who woke up Henson turned out to be Becky Harmon, his most trusted assistant coach.

"You may not believe it, I have never been so calm."

"Have you left all your emotions for the moment of holding the cup? This is the second dynasty, Henson. Since the 21st century, no coach has been able to build two dynasties." Becky Harmon smiled. Compared with sadness, she was more willing to face Henson's retirement with optimism.

Since some things cannot be changed, why bother to make fun of yourself?
"Maybe, maybe my emotions are building up. Becky, do you remember how it felt when you stood on the training ground and directed the players to train for the first time?" Henson turned his head and asked.

"Nervous? Maybe, I don't remember clearly." Becky Harmon spread his hands.

"To be honest, I don't remember very well. I just know that I was kind of an asshole at the time. So, I don't want to retire, and I will forget everything I have experienced now. I tried to put them all in my head, so that this time can be preserved forever."

Becky Harmon looked at Henson, and could hear how much he loved this job, so much that he didn't want to lose any tiny memories of this job.

"Don't worry, Henson, this is the most memorable period of your life. These memories have been deeply rooted in your bones, and you can't forget them. Look, the sun has set." Harmon said, pointing to a transparent dome.

Outside, the sky has been dyed red.Henson smiled slightly and couldn't help clenching his fists.

The last rays of the setting sun were swallowed by the horizon, and the magnificent Bankers Life Arena was shrouded in night.

Outside the arena, there were faint and noisy shouts.The players stopped their movements one by one, and then all looked at Henson.

The daylight goes out, which means the game starts.

"Let's go, let's make our last day a blast!"

Henson roared, and all the players became excited instantly.

Today is the real twilight battle.

※※※

Before the start of the game, the reporters were all ready to move, as if they were about to play.

The special nature of today's game is known around the world, so reporters have more questions than usual to get answers from Henson.

Steve Kerr was naturally dissatisfied with this.

He doesn't hate Henson. In fact, if possible, he is very willing to have more contact with Henson in private, just like Popovich.

But when this important game becomes Henson's personal show, when everyone ignores the five-star Warriors and keeps talking about Henson, no one will be happy as the Warriors coach.

He had no intention of ruining Henson's big day, but he also didn't want to give up a championship just because Henson needed a happy ending.

People said that this would be Henson's last game, but when facing the cameras of the reporters, Cole said confidently, "The series is a 7-game 4-win system, and Coach Henson has only won 3 games so far. And after this game, we will tie the total score to 4-2. So, I will not let this game be Coach Henson's swan song!"

Before the game started, what Cole said to the players was also very tough.

"This is a special game, yes, I don't deny it. But for us, the specialness of this game is not some damn Henson Joe, but if we lose again, we have to go home and go fishing! So how to play today, you can figure it out yourself!"

Cole may be the last person in the world who doesn't want Henson to retire. He will prolong Henson's career as much as possible.He still firmly believes that his team can win.

That year, the Cleveland Cavaliers reversed the Warriors when they fell behind 1 to 3.And this year, Kerr intends to make the same thing happen to the Pacers.

On the other hand, Henson's murderous intent seemed to be less serious.Facing the questions from the reporters, the Chinese coach showed a rare "gentleness".

"Plans after retiring? Well, I don't have any plans. I don't think you will be interested in my storytelling for my daughter."

"The feeling of the last game? The feeling is thank God, I am finally free."

"If I lose this game, will I feel happy or angry? Uh, can you tell me which genius came up with this question?"

Henson dealt with all reporters in a humorous way, but in fact, Henson recognized that this was the last game of his career.

After getting the match point, is there any reason to follow the Warriors back to the Bay Area?
There is no better script than to win a title in front of the home crowd and turn away.

Before the game, Henson saw his wife and daughter.The two most important women in his life were cheering for his team from the stands.

Thinking that he could dedicate all his energy to them in the future, Henson felt motivated.

He loves basketball, he loves his team, he loves winning.But now, he loves his family more.

"Come here, I'll do the final deployment again!" So, Henson shouted loudly and gathered all the players in front of him.

Before the game even started, the suffocating atmosphere had already spread.

※※※

"Look at him, everyone is cheering for him, he is simply the king of this arena!"

In the luxury box, Pacers boss Stephen Simon was staring at the court with relish.When he saw the youthful Henson in his manor, he never imagined that one day his team would be single-handedly picked up by that Chinese.

"To be precise, he is the king of this stadium. Everyone loves him, Stephen. I can guarantee that he will retire with honor today." Bird smiled from the side, and he did not forget that he was in this box when he first talked with Henson.

Bird couldn't help but smile every time he thought of the scene where he was discussing play with a scout while Pritchard yelled, "You must be crazy, Bird, you're crazy."

In the blink of an eye, so long has passed.And on the dome of the Bankers Life Arena, five championship pennants were also hung!
"Beep~~~~"

The electronic buzzer sounded, and on the court, Henson pushed his players onto the court.

Byrd did not speak, nor continued to recall.Instead, he sat upright and stared at the court seriously.

Steve Kerr said he wouldn't let Henson's career end today, and Bird can only say Kerr took it for granted.

When Henson wants to end it all, no one can stop him!
Today, let's enjoy the curtain call performance of that bastard Henson Joe.
