Chapter 83 082: The Boss of the Players
Holiday drove to Henson's house at about [-]:[-]. As soon as he got out of the car, Holiday was dazzled by all kinds of cars parked in front of Henson's house.

"It's so fresh. This is the first time I've heard that a head coach is willing to spend his own money to invite players to parties during the season." Beside Holiday, a white girl looked around curiously.

"Maybe this is the difference between basketball and football, baby." Holiday took his girlfriend to the door of Henson's house, and saw the young girl holding Henson's arm from afar.

If it was correct, it should be the mysterious girlfriend of the boss.But what makes Holiday feel a little unbelievable is that Henson's mysterious girlfriend seems to be younger than his girlfriend?

"Jul, come here quickly, you're the last one here! Why are you dressed so formally? Are you going to the draft? God, the draft is still six months away!" Henson greeted Holiday warmly, and complained about Holiday's overly formal attire.

This kind of private party was actually not like the kind of banquet held by Herbert before. This kind of party was more casual, so everyone came here in casual clothes.

"Hello, boss." Holiday scratched his head in embarrassment, then glanced at An Jiali suspiciously.

"By the way, haven't you always wanted to see what my girlfriend is like? Anjiali Ranadive, the starting shooting guard of the University of California, Berkeley basketball team." Henson said, holding Anjiali's waist tightly.

For some reason, An Jiali enjoyed the feeling of Henson introducing herself to others.This seems to mean that she really entered Henson's life.

"Uh, this is." Holiday was also about to introduce his girlfriend, but An Jiali recognized him first.

"You're Lauren Cheney, oh my god! You're the midfielder of the U.S. national team, Lauren Cheney!" An Jiali covered her mouth in disbelief. The girl in front of her is an international player of the U.S. Women's National Team!

"You know her?" Holiday smiled, it seems that his girlfriend is much more famous than himself!
"Of course I do. She was selected for the U.S. national team in 2008, and BJ won the gold medal with the U.S. team in the Olympics that year! At that time, "Sports Illustrated" had a special report introducing her. What a pleasure to meet, Lauren!"

The two women were clearly delighted to know each other, and Holiday was just like that, blending in with the party that had already begun.

When Holiday walked into the house, he realized that Henson's small house was already full of people.

Most of the people who came were familiar faces. Most of the Pacers were young people. Even Granger, the leader, was less than 30 years old.So the party was lively and there was no silence at all.

As for why Henson had the party, no one cared anymore.After all, they are all young people. As long as they have fun, who cares why?
Although the players were only interested in having fun, An Jiali did not forget the purpose of Henson's party.She poured Henson a glass of champagne and signaled that it was time for him to chat with his players.Talking to the players in this situation, they are more willing to confide in their hearts.

Henson first found Horford who was sitting on the sofa alone. As a foreign player, Horford's character is not as ostentatious as the young American. Most of the time, he is low-key and restrained.Even if he completed a beautiful block on the court, you rarely see him roaring to the sky.

"What's the matter Al? Homesick?" Henson sat next to Horford. At this time, he no longer had the serious look on the training ground, but was like a friend, an ordinary friend who loves to play and make trouble like young people.

"No, boss, I'm fine." Horford squeezed out a smile, and Henson noticed that there was something wrong with the kid's eyes.

Following Horford's line of sight, Henson found a young girl who was swaying to the music.No wonder that kid Horford stared straight at him.

Horford seemed to realize that Henson had discovered his secret, and couldn't help looking away in embarrassment.

Henson smiled. It seems that his starting center is not homesick, but a girl.

"An Jiali, why don't you introduce your friend to Al?" Henson was like a big brother who saw through his younger brother's mind. An Jiali then just whispered a few words in the girl's ear, and the girl walked towards Horford.

Seeing Horford's unbelievable expression, Henson patted him on the shoulder. "Don't be nervous, Al, take care of yourself! Of course, you are not allowed to be late for tomorrow's training!"

Henson stood up, making room for the girl.Afterwards, Henson gave An Jiali a thumbs up.

"They must be very compatible." An Jiali held the wine glass and looked at the result of her kneading with joy.

"Why do you say that? Horford's guy is more introverted, and he's not very good at pleasing girls." Henson spread his hands, Horford's ability to flirt with girls and his coping ability on the basketball court are completely two extremes.

"Because they are all Dominicans. My friend is Emily Vega, a Dominican model who now owns a fashion store in Miami. And like Al, she is reserved and low-key."

Seeing Henson's surprised eyes, An Jiali blinked triumphantly.Sure enough, the billionaire daughter's friends were all extraordinary.

After a while, Henson was pulled over by the players, and young people who liked to gossip asked him how he "received" such a young An Jiali.

Henson naturally did not lose to the players in terms of words. He told all about his previous experience as a scout, which made the players laugh.And unknowingly, the topic was brought to Holiday.

"It's your turn, Jules. You have only played in the NBA for less than two years, how did you abduct the American international!"

Facing Henson's inquiry and everyone's curious gazes, Holiday lowered his head in embarrassment and scratched his head.

"I was actually with Lauren when I was at UCLA. At that time, she mistook me for Darren Collison, the head guard of UCLA, and talked to me"

There was a roar of laughter from the crowd of men, and An Jiali couldn't help laughing too.Co-authored, it was a complete accident that Holiday got to know the American international.

Holiday and Lauren's erroneous love affair, introverted Horford and Emily Vega's duet dance, Stephenson's funny and exaggerated expressions, Paul George's cool impromptu raps. The party is very lively, and Henson is like a boss, controlling everything.

That's right, Henson not only needs to be a head coach, but also needs to be the boss of this group of young people.Really boss, like a locker room superstar.The Pacers don't have a superstar, so Henson will replace the "superstar" role.

The team boss not only has to have the right to speak in the position, but also needs to be recognized by the players in private.Only in this way, this team will fight for Henson wholeheartedly.

The party lasted until 11 pm, because there is training tomorrow and back-to-back games the day after tomorrow, so Henson had to announce the end of the party early.

The players were also very obedient, saying goodbye to Henson one after another, and then went home obediently.

Different from the training in the afternoon of the previous two days, the bad luck of the players seems to have been swept away because of this happy gathering.For them, being able to attend such a special party with their coaches and teammates, this Christmas is enough for them.

Now, players on the Pacers don't just respect or fear Henson, they actually love the maverick young coach.

After sending everyone away, Henson lay on the sofa exhausted.As he said before, attending a party like this is no easier than coaching a game.

"How is it? Coach Henson? How effective is it?" An Jiali jumped onto Henson lightly like an excited little cat.

"It looks pretty good. I hope they can concentrate more on training tomorrow. Hey, An Jiali, thank you very much." Henson always thought that An Jiali was just a playful little girl, but from now on, this girl is also extremely smart.This is probably why those immature boys in the university couldn't catch An Jiali's attention.

"You don't have to thank me, let's talk about it," An Jiali leaned over, leaning against Henson's chest, and then reached out from under the sofa to take out a small box that seemed to have been hidden for a long time. "Our party is not over yet."

Henson didn't expect that An Jiali even prepared "sports protection" for herself
