Basketball's No. 1 Anti-Fan

Chapter 132 The 2010~2011 regular season ends

Outside the camera, James' expression at this time was not anger, but regret.

No one knows the real reason for his frustration, maybe because he failed to block Crawford's dunk, or maybe he felt he shouldn't have tried it at all.

After being frustrated, he stood on the weak side in the next round and let Qian Moss hold the ball and attack.

Han Sen was no longer surprised. This was the longest river. Even if there was only a small hill ahead, he could still go around it if he couldn't rush across it.

If there was one thing that surprised Han Sen, it was that James gave in a little too quickly.

You have to know that when James was on the Cavaliers, although his overall performance against the Celtics was poor, he at least had a game in which he played in a closed position.

But now, James seems to just want to play some simple balls.

A rational analysis shows that this is because the external pressure brought by the "Decision" was too great, and the referee was no longer biased, so his mentality fluctuated greatly.

This is probably also the reason why the Heat's performance has been up and down.

After all, Spoelstra had adjusted the team roles before, and James is the core of the Heat's organization, or the ball-holding core.

This is just like a car engine. If it runs out of oil when climbing a hill, it will easily stall no matter how powerful your other parts are.

Crawford's dunk ignited the FedEx Center and boosted the morale of the Grizzlies. Chalmers' ball-handling attack ultimately failed.

Looking back, Crawford was a little crazy. He received the pass from Williams and rushed into the inside. After losing his balance in the confrontation with Haslem, he sent the ball into the basket at a negative angle.

Spoelstra could no longer sit still and called a timeout.

When Crawford came off the court, he was warmly welcomed by his teammates, and Hansen even stood up and high-fived him.

It must be admitted that although this Crawford and Peter Crawford have very different technical characteristics, what is the same is that they both have the "Super Six" gene.

It was at this moment that Han Sen noticed something exciting happening in the next half.

Spoelstra was holding a tactical board and arranging tactics, but James did not join in. Instead, he sat on the bench with his head down.

In front of him was Haslem.

The longest-serving player on the Heat roster, a contributor to the team's 2006 championship, and supposedly the Heat's locker room leader, was bending over and resting his hand against James' head, constantly offering words of encouragement.

After the timeout, the Heat sent out Bosh, who immediately scored 2+1 on Haddadi who had just been substituted in to stabilize the situation.

The score between the two sides was deadlocked, and with 7 minutes left in the quarter, the score was 34 to 29, with the Grizzlies leading.

Both sides also gradually replaced their main players at this time.

The Grizzlies' offense started, and Randolph's strong attack in the low post finally paid off. He scored 2+1 despite the strong defense of Ilgauskas.

After scoring the goal, he turned around and gave a high five to Han Sen who passed the ball.

For this kind of low-post killer, you can limit him for one quarter, but you can't hold him down all night.

After Randolph made the free throw, the Grizzlies' lead had reached 8 points, heading for a double-digit lead.

The Heat attacked, Wade passed the ball to James, and Bibby came over and used all his strength to push Hansen away.

Because Bibby has performed well in three-point shooting this season, Hansen followed him and James finally got the opportunity to play one-on-one in a mismatch.

Randolph is the weak link in the Grizzlies' defense against pick-and-rolls, but unfortunately James doesn't dare to shoot from mid-range, so the weak link no longer exists. At this time, when he wants to play pick-and-roll, he can only rely on his body to beat the smaller players.

When Allen was on the Celtics, he defended James very badly, so Conley became the only choice.

Thanks to the Heat's inside lineup of Ilgauskas and Bosh, the space on the strong side was also very empty at this time.

James tried to break through Conley, but Conley's footsteps were impenetrable.

Although he has not reached the defensive level at this time, he is a guard after all, so keeping up with James' speed is not a problem.

James couldn't break through, so he just started to back up.

Then, I wasn’t impressed.

Conley's strength is not very enough, but his defensive skills are very good. He does not rely on James' physical confrontation. When James exerts force, he retreats, and when James finishes exerting force, he pushes forward. This results in James being stuck in the same place after several consecutive hits.

Because of the five-second rule of posting up, he couldn't keep shooting and could only choose to turn around and lean back.

Conley did not rush forward, but just raised his hands to interfere with James' vision.

James spread his legs in the air, and the ball he shot seemed to have no accuracy at all, and it just went over the bridge and missed.

When the basketball fell into Gasol's hands under the basket, Gasol didn't react at first.

The fans at the scene couldn't help but burst into laughter. This back-to-the-basket play was even funnier than the previous back-to-basket throw after colliding with Randolph.

James probably felt that the game was too intense, so he deliberately created some fun to make them laugh!

But it did succeed in a sense, because Gasol Jr. didn't react in the first place and the Grizzlies missed the opportunity to make a fast break in the first place.

The two sides moved into their positions. Hansen received a pass from Randolph at the free throw line, shook off Wade's assisting defense, and made another mid-range shot.

39 to 29, the Grizzlies successfully widened the point difference to double digits.

Turning around, Wade attacked with the ball.

He and Bosh made a pick-and-roll and quickly rushed to the basket. Allen was blocked and couldn't catch up, and Randolph couldn't catch up either, so Hansen could only shrink and help defend.

After seeing this, Wade made a decisive breakthrough and passed the ball to James on the outside.

It was too late for Han Sen to return to defense.

James got the best shot of the night.

Thanks to the containment of his superstar teammates, James has the most open three-point opportunities this season than in his career, and he has therefore achieved the highest three-point shooting percentage of his career.

Han Sen realized it was too late, so he stopped defending and made a "please" gesture to James.

This scene stunned Haddadi in the audience, because this was the same move he had done during the Asian Championships in Tianjin!
James, who was about to shoot, abruptly took the ball back after seeing this scene.

Then, Hansen's next move made the fans at the scene climax.

Because after making the gesture, Han Sen ignored James and turned around to grab the rebound.

The two people's actions before and after form a sharp contrast, especially since they are in the same picture. The contrast in courage should not be too strong.

You have to know that if Han Sen made such a move and James made this three-pointer, Han Sen's move would become too funny.

James...rushed inside.

He didn't dare, because he knew that if he missed the shot, Han Sen would be in big trouble after the game.

After seeing James' choice, Haslem looked disappointed at the Heat's halftime.

He knew that his previous words of encouragement were ultimately in vain. Basketball is ultimately a sport of testing who is more ruthless, and the one who gives up first is doomed to fail.

After James rushed, Hansen had already turned around again.

What does it mean to gain understanding from former teammates?

At first, Valanciunas didn't dare to shoot. What kind of elder brother brings out what kind of younger brothers!

After James and Hansen collided, Hansen retreated backwards to the baseline, and the referee blew the whistle to indicate that James had committed an offensive foul.

When Hansen was pulled up from the ground by Randolph and Conley, he had a smile on his face.

There has always been a voice in the outside world that if Hansen had not been injured last season, the Cavaliers would have won the championship.

But Han Sen knew before that the chance was not great, and now he is even more certain, because if James like this enters the finals, he will really be torn apart by Kobe.

So the Cavaliers did not make it to the finals, and the 23VS24 drama did not take place, which was actually a blessing for James.

Not daring to take a shot and committing an offensive foul are actually nothing in a long 48-minute game.

But compared to what is shown in the data, the impact it brings is the change in the momentum of both sides.

It's like two armies facing each other. As the commander-in-chief, or at least a deputy commander, if you are afraid of the enemy in front of the battle line, can your army march forward bravely?
The Grizzlies reached a climax in the second half of the second quarter. At the end of the half, the score was 51 to 36, and the Grizzlies had a 15-point lead.

After the halftime break, James chose to disappear on the court. Even if Wade gave him the ball, he chose to give it back to Wade or someone else.

Relying on Wade's repeated attacks, the Heat managed to maintain the score difference with great difficulty.

In the end, Spoelstra couldn't stand it anymore and replaced James.

But the Heat did not close the gap like they did in the opening game because Wade's efficiency declined as he was physically exhausted.

But just like in the opening game, for a team like the Grizzlies, once you take the lead, it is very difficult to close the score.

At the end of the third quarter, the Grizzlies still led by 15 points.

In the last quarter, the score difference between the two sides did not change for a while, so Spoelstra replaced the main players and gave up early.

With two minutes left in the game, James left the game early.

When he passed through the player tunnel, the photographer on the scene playfully projected this scene onto the large LED screen on the scene.

There was a burst of boos from the audience.

James not only acted as a coward tonight, he also became a deserter.

Han Sen also looked up at this time. He found that James did not leave alone. He was accompanied by the Heat's team doctor.

He wasn't surprised to see them in the tunnel after losing the game, but it was quite novel to see the team doctor along.

In the end, the Grizzlies defeated the Heat 105-89 at home.

赛后的数据统计，热火队韦德得到26分6板5助攻，波什19分7板，詹姆斯·琼斯16分，詹姆斯14分7板4助攻。

灰熊队韩森29分5板3助攻，兰多夫17分13板10助攻（生涯首次三双），康利15分5助攻，乔丹·克劳福德13分。

After the game, Hansen and Randolph attended the post-game press conference together.

"After winning this game, you became the first team in the league to beat the Heat twice. How did you do it?"

The first person the reporters asked questions was Hollins.

"We did everything we could, we knew what kind of team we were facing and luckily we came out victorious."

Han Sen couldn't help but frown. Neither of the two games had reached the decisive moment. Why should he be so humble?
"Han, what do you think of Zack's performance tonight?" the reporter then asked Han Sen.

"I've said it before, Zach is an All-Star player, he can do everything as a center, we are lucky to have him."

Although the All-Star Game has long ended, Hansen has already started canvassing votes for Randolph's All-Star selection next year.

"What does it mean to you to beat the Heat twice?" The reporter then asked Hansen a similar question.

Does that mean we have completed the sweep?
"That doesn't mean anything, it's just a regular season game."

What hurts more than attacking others is not caring.

And what Han Sen said was true. At this stage of the season, what is more worthy of their attention is the upcoming playoffs.

"You played very successful defense on LeBron tonight. What was the secret?"

After such games, there is always a topic related to James.

Han Sen did not skip this time. He recalled the scene when James entered the player tunnel after the game and said meaningfully:

"If I'm not mistaken, he should be troubled by injuries again."

Right elbow? Groin? Ankle?

Or is it simply that you feel unwell for a few days every month?
Who knows!

At this time, the reporters in the audience were all surprised. The visiting team's press conference was just before, and just a few minutes ago, James said that he had groin discomfort in that position.

Han Sen should have been interviewed by reporters on the sidelines at that time, so he probably couldn't hear it.

Last time, Han Sen made a prediction, but this time, was it a telepathic connection between former teammates?

……

Time flies and it is already mid-April.

After one season of competition, the 2010~2011 regular season came to an end.

The Bulls eventually topped the league with 62 wins. Rose is expected to win his first MVP trophy in his career and become the youngest MVP in history.

The Heat's final record was 58 wins.

Despite the ups and downs of the season, they eventually made it to the playoffs as the second in the Eastern Conference.

三巨头，詹姆斯场均26.6分7.5板7助攻1.6抢断0.6盖帽；韦德场均25.6分6.4板4.6助攻1.5抢断1.1盖帽；波什场均18.7分8.3板1.9助攻0.8抢断0.6盖帽。

The Celtics and Magic ranked third and fourth with 56 and 52 wins respectively.

The Hawks, Knicks, 76ers and Pacers ranked 5th to 8th.

In the Western Conference, the Spurs finally won 61 games and topped the list.

The Mavericks followed closely with 58 wins, and the Lakers ranked third with one win behind.

The Thunder ranked fourth with 55 wins.

The Grizzlies won 52 games, 12 more than last season, and finally ranked fifth in the Western Conference.

韩森在自己职业生涯的第二个赛季里交出了场均21.4分3.5板2.1助攻2.3抢断0.7盖帽，投篮命中率47.5%，三分命中率41.2%。①
In the second half of the season after Gay was absent, Hansen took on more offensive responsibilities and averaged about 24 points per game.

Randolph averaged 20.1 points, 12.2 rebounds, 2.8 assists and 0.8 steals per game. Although he suffered injuries at the beginning of the season and performed poorly, he still performed at an All-Star level after adjustments.

The Trail Blazers, Nuggets, and Hornets ranked 6th to 8th.

The Rockets finished ninth and missed the playoffs due to Yao Ming's injury.

As the rankings were released, the Grizzlies' first-round opponents were also announced. They will face the Thunder.

This result was expected, because since the beginning of the season, the Grizzlies and Thunder have been ranked fourth and fifth, but then Gay was injured and the Grizzlies dropped to fifth.

The second half of the season can basically be regarded as a battle between the two sides for home-court advantage in the playoffs.

In the end, the Thunder, who had a stronger lineup on paper, prevailed and took advantage of the home court.

This result is also somewhat special for Hansen. He had a one-on-one duel with Durant in Memphis for a summer, and he was no match for Durant.

This time he has a chance to save his face on the court.
