Basketball's No. 1 Anti-Fan

Chapter 117 Career Night
In fact, not to mention the players on the field, even Hollins didn't understand it.

Besides, the game had just started, so it was inappropriate for him to call a timeout, so he could only let Johnson come on as a substitute.

Johnson's low-post offensive ability can be ignored, so the Grizzlies now have to rely on Conley's command on the court.

Free throws were taken on the court, and Hansen took the extra free throw for Randolph. The technical foul during this period was two free throws and one throw. The Cavaliers then took four free throws.

After both sides finished their free throws, the score was 3 to 5, with the Cavaliers leading and the ball still belonging to the Cavaliers.

Williams's breakthrough with the ball went out of the basket due to Conley's defense, but Varejao and Jamison made consecutive attempts at the basket, and finally Jamison put the ball in.

Randolph's unexpected departure not only caught the Grizzlies off guard, but also boosted the morale of the Cavaliers.

Randolph's importance is self-evident. From having no chance to win to having a chance, the players' mentality and actions on the court will be completely different.

Conley played a pick-and-roll with Gasol Jr. in the frontcourt, and Gasol Jr.'s layup was also defended by Varejao.

The Cavaliers made a fast break, and Williams received the ball and made a layup.

3:7.

The Cavaliers took the initiative at the start.

"Defend! Defend!"

The fans at the scene also began to "switch sides" and cheer for the home team.

Although they support Hansen, as Cavaliers fans, who wouldn't want their team to win?
After Hansen arrived at the frontcourt, he began to make tactical gestures to Conley.

Johnson set up a pick-and-roll wall on the weak side, and Hansen used the Cunningham pick-and-roll to run.

However, the Cavaliers were very familiar with this tactic. After Hansen received the ball, he faced Jamison who came to defend.

Jamison was close to the ball, so Hansen went straight to the left and accelerated to break through.

As a former teammate, Jamison knew that he could not keep up with Hansen, so he consciously cooperated with Valanciunas in the interior to prepare for a double-team attack.

But he soon discovered something was wrong. Before Valanciunas returned to the basket, Hansen had already broken through to the basket and scored a quick layup with his right hand.

Jamison was surprised. How come Han Sen's speed became so much faster?

Han Sen winked at him as he retreated.

At this time, cheers from the Cavaliers fans rang out at the scene.

After only one round, Hansen brought the "defected" fans back.

By the way, it also stabilized the Grizzlies' position on the court.

The Cavaliers' ball began to come into Mayo's hands.

As the Cavaliers' current focus of training, this former No. 1 high school student in the United States, a guy who plays like Joe Jordan and Kobe Bryant, needs to stand up at this time.

Hansen has never been an opponent of Mayo, but he is not unfamiliar with Mayo. When Wallace was trying out for the Grizzlies, he used Mayo as a "touchstone".

Mayo also looked confident, as Hansen was defeated by him during the trial.

He started a breakthrough with the ball, but Hansen was faster than he expected.

When he broke through to the three-second zone and shot, Han Sen interfered strongly and his shot was blocked.

Compared to the trial training that year, Mayo's strength has almost remained the same, but Hansen is no longer the same as before.

Especially [Iron Bones] reached the best condition under Grover's training, his speed was significantly enhanced, and his strength is now obviously superior to his opponent.

Gasol picked up the defensive rebound and looked back to see that Hansen, who had completed the interference in the previous second, had already rushed out of the free throw line in the next second.

He then threw the ball out, and Hansen received the ball and ran down quickly. During the fast break, he squeezed out Williams who was chasing him and put the ball into the basket.

Cleveland's little fast break expert, he's sure to get what he wants!

The cheers of fans rang out again at Quick Loans Arena.

When Randolph was there, the Grizzlies' offense revolved around the inside.

As a result, Randolph's departure directly activated Hansen!

Cavaliers general manager Grant was also present tonight. Sitting in the middle of the audience, he listened to the continuous cheers from the fans around him with a frown on his face.

He doesn't even know how the reporters will report on tonight's game after the game!

This is simply outrageous. He opened the door to outrageousness. It’s outrageous as hell.

After Hansen scored 4 points in a row, the Grizzlies began to regain their feeling on the defensive end.

The Cavaliers launched two consecutive scoring attacks but failed to create any chances.

Although Johnson is not as strong as Randolph on both offense and defense, his mobility on the defensive end is excellent.

The Cavaliers finally gave the ball to Mayo for the final shot.

Mayo forced a breakthrough and shot despite Han Sen's defense. This time, Han Sen did not interfere, but instead aimed at the right moment...

"boom!"

A volleyball-style block directly sent the ball flying out of the court!

In terms of scoring, Mayo is higher than Hansen this season, but after two rounds of head-to-head confrontations, just like when Hansen faced James, the data theory was shattered.

The Cavaliers finally returned empty-handed, and Conley turned around and continued to pass the ball to Hansen.

Doing everything possible to get the ball to the person with the hottest hands on the court is essentially what academic point guards are best at.

Hansen was out of position against Jamison again.

Jamison was prepared for Hansen's change of direction this time, but in the end he could only watch Hansen pass by his right side.

The scene of the two men fishing together wearing helmets flashed by. Cleveland can't have two people in charge today.

This time, Valanciunas retreated to the basket with his hands raised. Hansen saw that he did not stop and jumped high with the ball in both hands.

"boom!"

There was physical confrontation between the two men, but Valanciunas was really just a wimp as Randolph said, or maybe he had already gotten used to it, so he just lay down on the ground.

"Oh!"

Hansen dunked over Varejao.

The referee didn't blow the whistle!
Just like what happened to James in Miami, Varejao's acting career also took a sharp decline.

After landing, Hansen stepped over Vallejo.

At this moment, Vallejo looked like a wild dog abandoned by his owner.

The same thing is that it still doesn't dare to bark.

The fans at the scene, who were already excited by Hansen's consecutive dribbles, now completely exploded.

The Grizzlies' bench was also in an uproar.

This ball is so cool!

9 is better than 7!

After Hansen scored 6 points in a row, the Grizzlies took the lead.

What’s more important than the score is that the Cavaliers’ momentum, which had been rising due to Randolph’s departure, was suppressed again.

This time it was Brown who saw the situation was not good, and the Cavaliers called a timeout first.

At this time, a shot was given to Grant, and there was a burst of boos from the audience.

Beads of sweat appeared on Grant's forehead.

If he had known that tonight’s event would be such a “grand occasion”, he would never have come even if he was beaten to death.

After the timeout, the Cavaliers made substitutions, with Gibson and Cunningham replacing Williams and Jamison.

Two main players were replaced in less than half a quarter. The fans' reaction not only made Grant restless, but also made Brown a little anxious.

The Cavaliers' attack failed, and Hansen continued to receive the ball, with Gibson defending him.

The offensive strength of Gibson and Cunningham is definitely not as good as the two starting players. This substitution is obviously aimed at defending Hansen.

Looking at one of James' former sword-wielding bodyguards in front of him, Han Sen directly signaled him to move away and play one-on-one.

"Why, your king doesn't want you anymore?" Han Sen asked with concern before the fight began.

Gibson's forehead was hot.

Then, he saw Han Sen passing by him.

His eyes were full of disbelief.

Originally, he was at a disadvantage in the confrontation with Han Sen, but Han Sen's speed just now was faster than his.

When you haven't seen someone for three days, you should look at him with new eyes. Now that it's been half a year, he wants to open his eyelids wider to see more!

Cunningham quickly came over to assist in defense, and he could distinguish between the areas on and off the court.

But Han Sen directly confronted him, forced him to stop, and then made a quick stop and shot that went in steadily.

Brown replaced two players with better defense?

It’s still unpredictable!

Hansen also became excited after scoring the goal. He made his signature jersey-pulling gesture towards the camera, and the Quicken Loans Arena was in a frenzy.

Although Hansen's jersey was changed to that of the Grizzlies, the number 77 remained unchanged!
The Cavaliers still had no offense in the frontcourt.

Jamison and Williams are the second and third leading scorers for the Cavaliers this season. When they were substituted off, the Cavaliers' firepower was directly reduced by half.

Conley was more direct this time. After passing the ball to Hansen, he signaled to clear the strong side in advance.

Tonight in Cleveland is Hansen's personal stage.

Gibson stared at Hansen at this time. Hansen's trash talk just now distracted him. This time he must defend!

Han Sen did not continue to rant, but instead suddenly changed direction to the right.

Gibson retreated quickly, Hansen started too fast.

But just after he moved, Han Sen made an abrupt stop and retreated directly back to the three-point line.

The emergency stop ability of [Giant Killer] can be used not only when shooting, and [Steel Bones] brings more than just the improvement of breakthrough ability. Gibson tried hard to defend back, but his brain kept up, but his body didn't, and his two feet fought and he fell to the ground.

He was knocked down!

The scene was filled with exclamations of exclamation.

However, Hansen was not in a hurry to shoot. He held the ball and looked at Gibson. After Gibson stood up again and rushed towards him, he took a three-point shot.

"Shh!"

The basketball hollow falls into the pocket.

"You should try to call your king." Hansen looked at Gibson, smiled and made a phone gesture.

Gibson lost his spirit instantly.

Killing people is not the right thing to do. You are so cruel!

Then, Hansen signaled to the fans to cheer louder while retreating.

The fans at the scene went crazy.

At this time, the camera turned to the Cavaliers bench.

The expressions of several elderly knights were extremely complicated.

Although it was Hansen's first time back to Cleveland, the scene before them was not unfamiliar to them at all.

After all, when Han Sen led the three teams to defeat the Cavaliers' first and second teams, wasn't that the scene we're seeing now?
The only difference is that there were no spectators in the training match, but now it has become a real match with 20,000 people watching.

And now the onlookers are cheering for Hansen.

You can imagine how miserable they must be right now.

Although they actually know that the fans' reaction tonight was entirely directed at Grant's previous remarks and expressed dissatisfaction with the team management.

But put yourself in their shoes and imagine how fucked up the experience would be if your fans were cheering for your opponent the entire time.

And just as Hansen had said to Griffin, he was eager to play again when he returned to this familiar venue.

Especially Randolph's unexpected departure made him release that desire ahead of time.

After Brown saw that he couldn't limit Hansen with one-on-one defense, he waited until the second quarter and directly used a double-team tactic on Hansen.

We can lose the game, but we can't let Han Sen continue to score like this.

However, his strategy still didn't work because Han Sen played without the ball!

The Grizzlies are a team-oriented team that relies on positional tactics. Hansen's style of play in the first quarter was a response to Randolph's sudden departure and was not a routine move.

After really starting to play as a team, Han Sen could also find opportunities.

In particular, the improvement in physical fitness has made his off-ball running more flexible.

When Hansen broke away from the blockade and received a pass from Conley, rushed into the inside and glided sideways for a layup, there was despair in Brown's eyes.

Throughout the first half, Hansen made 16 of 11 shots and scored 27 points, breaking his personal half-time scoring record!
Under his leadership, the Grizzlies had already extended their lead to 20 points at halftime.

There is basically no suspense in the game.

When the third quarter came, Hollins was no longer standing on the sidelines, but sat back on the bench.

It was obvious that with a big lead on the field, he no longer needed to micro-manage the game on the sidelines.

At this time, the Grizzlies players on the court were consciously passing the ball to Hansen.

Players are not machines. They know Han Sen's condition tonight and his stabilizing performance in those few minutes that turned the situation around better than anyone else.

Especially among the starters, Johnson has no scoring ability, Conley and Gasol Jr. are not people who pursue data obsessively, and Gay is the only one who pursues data, and he is also impressed by Hansen.

In this quarter, Hansen scored 16 points, breaking his personal single-quarter scoring record. His total score also reached 43 points, scoring the first 40+ in his career.

After three quarters, the Cavaliers were trailing the Grizzlies by a full 26 points.

Now there is no suspense in the game.

During the break in the final quarter, Joerger came to Hansen and asked him if he wanted to play a little longer at the start of the fourth quarter.

The meaning was very clear, the coaching staff was asking him if he wanted to go up and score some more points.

After all, Hansen scored 40+, which was already a night in his career.

If we can raise the score a bit, to 50+ or ​​something, the publicity will be more effective.

Han Sen shook his head.

If the opponent is the Heat and they really play garbage time like this, he wouldn't mind playing some more. After all, that would stimulate James to give him more black fans.

But tonight, this away game felt fake.

That didn’t mean much to him.

However, Hansen was not idle while sitting on the sidelines, because he saw Cunningham on the court.

He watched for a while and found that this season Cunningham had actually developed a long two-point shot after one step from the three-point line.

This little killer move makes it much more difficult for opponents to defend him than before.

Although he is no longer in Cleveland, this kid has not slacked off.

Then, Hansen also "incidentally" saw Thabeet's performance on the court.

This guy... is really an eyesore.

He looks big, but his confrontation ability is so poor that even Carol can knock him away with just a bump.

A big man without confrontation will never be able to gain a foothold in the NBA.

With more than five minutes left in the game, the difference between the two sides was still 30+.

Just at this moment, when the camera turned to Grant again, no one knew who started it, but a voice began to sound in unison.

"Who is your daddy!"

Who can resist these familiar words?

Han Sen couldn't hold it anymore.

You guys should at least give the management some face.

Even just a little.

After this shout, Grant, who had been trying hard to hold on, could no longer sit still and stood up and left his seat early.

This place is really unbearable to stay in.

However, the scene of him getting up and leaving the court after the game is destined to become a classic photo of the Cavaliers' season.

After the game, the players on both sides had a final handshake.

The Cavaliers' new players looked somewhat frustrated. After all, they would never want to have such a special night again.

However, the old players of Cunningham were talking and laughing when they shook hands with Hansen.

Anyway, the way the Cavaliers played after the start of the game basically meant they were going to tank, and there was very little they could do.

Instead, they were happy for Hansen as they watched him have a career night.

After the game, Hansen attended the post-match press conference.

Quite a lot of reporters came, many of them were local reporters.

What happened tonight was too unbelievable and it became a hot topic.

"Han, you scored 43 points tonight, a new career night, what does this mean to you?"

Does this mean this is the night of my life?

"I am very grateful to my teammates. Their support is my biggest motivation tonight. I am also very grateful to the coaching staff for their trust in me. Of course, I also want to thank the fans at the scene for their support. It means a lot to me."

Han Sen's answer was unusually normal.

"Did you anticipate a situation like this tonight before the game?" the reporter asked.

"I didn't expect it, I really didn't expect it." Although he had a feeling that tonight would be a little different since he arrived at the airport, the cheering and the defection, especially the final shouting of "Who is your daddy", refreshed his cognition.

"This experience is very touching and will always be remembered by you. Fans are like this, they are the most real and lovely people." Hansen expressed his true feelings.

The Cavaliers' front office sucks, but the fans in Cleveland are great.

However, it is precisely because of this contradiction that this unique scene is created tonight.

"Is your performance tonight related to the Cavaliers' previous trade with you?" The next reporter's question hit home.

"Yes, I had a strong desire to compete before the game. I wanted to prove something with my performance." Han Sen did not hide it.

"But now, being able to present such a game for the fans on the scene, I think that is more meaningful."

"We all know that you and LeBron once played for the Cavaliers. Is your current growth related to that experience?" This is a reporter from ESPN.

"Next question."

……

After the press conference, Hansen returned to the locker room to take a shower.

Conley was still in the locker room at this time. When he saw him coming, he came up and said, "Zach..."

It seems that Conley is preparing to talk to him about Randolph tonight.

"Mike, I have something to do tonight."

Han Sen did not respond to Conley's words, and began to take off his jersey and prepare to take a shower.

He really wasn't in the mood to care about Randolph right now because Swift was still waiting for him there.

He had finished playing on the court, but there was another more exciting game waiting for him in the evening.

He must thank his old Cavaliers teammates for allowing him to sit on the bench and rest in the fourth quarter. He is now full of energy.
