Chapter 287 Chapter 285: The plan in half a year

In the last 3 minutes of the fourth quarter, the atmosphere in the Oakland Center was not as enthusiastic as it was at the beginning of the game.

At this time, although the stands in the arena were still crowded with people, few Warriors fans were still interested in cheering.The on-site camera lens even pointed at the Pacers bench from time to time. Of course, the purpose was not to shoot the Pacers players, but to shoot the amazing An Jiali behind the bench.
An Jiali wore a corn-yellow Pacers jersey today, and her hair fell straight down.Of course, even if she just wears an ordinary jersey with a plump figure, it is enough to attract attention. But seeing Henson Joe talking and laughing on the bench, I don’t know how many An Jiali’s male fans shed unwilling tears.

In any case, at least one thing can be explained-the attention of most fans and commentators is no longer on the game.

There is only one situation where a basketball game suddenly loses its appeal, and that is when the game loses its suspense.

In 3 minutes, the Warriors trailed by 15 points.In modern basketball, chasing 3 points in 15 minutes is not impossible.But judging from the performance of the Warriors in the fourth quarter, if they could do it, they would have already tied the score.

"In the first three quarters of the game, both sides played back and forth. But since the elevator door tactic was cracked, the Warriors have been unable to recover." Jeff Van Gundy rubbed his heavy eyelids. The first three and fourth quarters of the game seemed to be split into two.

"Coach Mark Jackson relied too much on his elevator door tactics today. However, if such a complicated tactic fails, the Warriors' offense will stagnate. However, the strength of the Warriors is really impressive for causing so much trouble for the defending champion." As soon as Webber finished speaking, Mark Jackson called a timeout.

It's clear to all that it's garbage time.

"Well done, well done." Henson high-fived the players one by one, but the expression on his face was not as joyful as when he usually wins.

It's not because Henson is dissatisfied with his team's performance. On the contrary, Henson is delighted by the perseverance and efficiency shown by the players.

The reason why he looked serious was because the performance of the Warriors was so good that it exceeded Henson's expectations!
A team that was ranked outside the top ten in the Western Conference last season, after a summer, was able to almost overturn its own gutter.The rapid rise of the Warriors made Henson a little worried.

"They will become a very terrible opponent in the future." The game restarted, and Henson also sat back on the bench, continuing the unfinished topic with his two assistant coaches.

"I don't think so. They rely too much on three-pointers." Vogel admitted that the Warriors played well, but he was not optimistic about the team's upper limit.

"Times have changed, Frank. Have you forgotten? In the first year I took over the team, we also relied on quick counterattacks and precise three-pointers to win games. It was only after the introduction of Paul and West that we played a little more traditionally. In this era of more and more accurate three-pointers and more and more three-pointers, it is no longer a fantasy to win by relying on three-pointers. I even think that this may become a trend." Henson looked up at the electronic big screen.

Even though the Pacers' defense is already very good today, the Warriors' total three-point shooting percentage is as high as 45%!And this is not an exception, because so far this season, the Warriors have averaged 42.3% of their three-pointers per game.You only know how good the Warriors are after playing against them.

"It's like before, every team would hoard big men with meat sticks to resist super centers. If the Warriors continue to develop like this, it is very likely that every team will frantically pile up shooters to open up territory outside the three-point line." Stevens agrees with Henson. The era of fast-paced and high three-point shots is getting closer.

"Don't worry about it, even if this is the case, the Warriors are not our direct competitors." Vogel waved his hand disapprovingly.

Henson smiled and didn't speak.The Warriors aren't a direct competitor to the Pacers, but what if they make it to the Finals someday?

The Warriors reached the Finals. Henson believes that such a thing is possible.This is only the first year that the Warriors have established their core style of play. God knows what they will become after another year or two.

"Beep~~~~~" The huge electronic buzzer brought Henson's thoughts back to the Oakland Stadium. The game ended, and the Warriors players walked off the court with their heads down one by one.

The Pacers won, beating the Warriors by 12 points.From the looks of it, this was another easy victory.

But Henson was well aware that the score did not faithfully reflect the course of the game.How dangerous the game is played, only Henson can understand.

After the game, Henson's experience accumulator accumulated 100 experience points.It can be seen that the Warriors are not cats and dogs that can be defeated casually.Because if the opponent is not good, the experience accumulator cannot be so "generous".

"You almost brought me down today, coach." When shaking hands with Mark Jackson, Henson praised his opponent rarely.

"There is no difference between a handicap and a lot, Coach Henson. Congratulations, you played beautifully." Mark Jackson's face was not very good. After all, he had studied the Pacers for so long, but he still failed to win the game, which made him feel a little disappointed.

Mark Jackson didn't know how solid a foundation he had laid for the Golden State Warriors!

Seeing Jackson's leaving figure, Henson shook his head.He deserves a win, but there's no way the Pacers will let him get his way.

Competitive sports are indeed so cruel

At the press conference after the game, the reporters were very surprised not to find the Pacers coach.Instead, it was assistant coach Frank Vogel.

"Coach Henson is unwell, so I'm going back to the hotel first." This is Vogel's answer to the reporters.

However, in fact, Henson and An Jiali had arrived at a cafe under the Golden Gate Bridge at this time. The NBA schedule is dense, and the two couples must seize the time to enjoy their few moments alone.

"IMG Model Agency? They sent you an invitation?" Henson looked happily at the invitation letter in An Jiali's hand. Although Henson didn't know much about the fashion industry, he had heard of the name IMG.

It is not an exaggeration to say that IMG is the number one model management company in the fashion industry.Using basketball as an analogy, An Jiali is equivalent to joining the Los Angeles Lakers, which has a big market and rich heritage.And this "Laker" has not fallen.

"Hey, surprise! After graduation, I can go there to sign an apprenticeship contract. If I can pass the training smoothly, I can officially start my modeling career! But before that."

"what happened?"

"It's going to be very busy after becoming a full-fledged model for IMG, so I thought...get married first, then..."

"Bang!" The coffee cup in Henson's hand trembled, and his hands shook.

"Henson!?"

"Uh, I'm sorry to get married. Didn't I discuss this issue with you when I was in Paris in the summer? We'll think about it after we win another championship trophy." For some reason, Henson became nervous when the word "marriage" was mentioned.

Although Henson is 33 years old now, his mental age is younger.Facing the game, Henson can face it calmly.But in the face of such a major event in life, it is normal for Henson to be nervous.

"You have to think about it in advance. You can't wait until the competition ends in June before rushing to prepare. What I want most now is not a modeling job, but a home of my own and a man I can rely on." An Jiali said, snuggling into Henson's arms.

This little girl who lacked her father's care since she was a child has no intention of "having enough fun before getting married".As a rich girl, there was nothing she hadn't played.Almost half of the whole world was run away by her.

Therefore, although she is still young, what An Jiali longs for is a stable family and a job.

Looking at the gentle girl nestled in his arms, Henson gently stroked her head.Too "vicious", this damn is an emotional offensive!

"Then let's start planning what will happen in half a year."

In December, the temperature had begun to drop, and the cool wind blowing from the river bank made Henson hug An Jiali tightly.

The night view of the Golden Gate Bridge is really pleasant
