Basketball's No. 1 Anti-Fan

Chapter 138 The brave are fearless!
Before the seventh game between the Thunder and the Grizzlies started, all other first-round matchups in the league had already ended.

公牛4比1步行者，热火4比1数字人，凯尔特人4比0尼克斯，马刺4比2黄蜂，小牛4比1掘金，湖人4比2开拓者。

The only upset was the Hawks 4-2 Magic, which was consistent with Stan's prediction.

At this time, this seventh game has become particularly eye-catching, after all, it is related to whether Stan can become a god off the court.

This wave of traffic that the Grizzlies have received is the largest since the team was founded.

Many media people have begun to predict the final outcome.

Except for a few people like Stan and Barkley, most people are optimistic about the Thunder completing the reversal.

After all, in the current situation, the Thunder has the best of both worlds, and their morale has reached its peak.

On the other hand, the Grizzlies are not an explosive team, and losing Game 6 basically means they have already lost.

"Who can save Memphis? Maybe Michael Jordan, but they don't have No. 23 on their team."

Well-known commentator A. Smith lamented on the show that the Knicks were swept out and he could only vent his emotions here.

"I know the difficulty we're going to face tonight is definitely the most difficult we've faced since we entered the playoffs."

In the locker room before the game, Han Sen gathered the players together for a pre-game mobilization.

This was the first time he had done this since he traveled through time. He had never done this in Cleveland because there was James there, and he had never done this in Memphis because there was a locker room leader like Battier.

But this time he knew he had to say something because he could foresee how difficult this game would be.

"There is no doubt that this will be our 'desperate situation', but it is also our opportunity, because only after experiencing the baptism of blood and fire can we become truly strong. Only by defeating the opponent in this desperate situation can we transform into a championship team."

Han Sen was not very good at this because he seldom did it, but he could clearly feel that the team members were either nodding or restraining their impulses, and it worked.

He took one last look at his teammates and yelled the Grizzlies slogan:
"Let's give them a good beating!"

The players followed suit and shouted, then ran out of the locker room together.

The Ford Center was packed with people at this time, and the emotions of the fans swept through every corner of the arena like a summer heat wave.

This time last year, they had been eliminated in the first round by the Lakers.

But now, they are just one step away from the team's first playoff victory in Oklahoma City.

As long as they defeat the opponent in front of them who was beaten badly by them in the last game!
By the way, they can also become the ninth team in NBA history to come back from a 9-1 deficit.

The Grizzlies players ran into the stadium. Although they were mentally prepared, they were still overwhelmed by the momentum of the Oklahoma City fans.

Every word Han Sen said in the locker room was not exaggerated. If you were not mentally prepared enough, you might be scared to the point of leg cramps.

Han Sen's eyes wandered across the audience and he soon found what he was looking for.

In the all-white wave, a spectator in the front row wearing the Grizzlies' blue No. 77 jersey stood out.

Swift interrupted her songwriting career to travel to Oklahoma City to cheer him on.

He walked over and chatted with Swift, and this scene was also projected by the photographer onto the large LED screen at the scene, which immediately caused a commotion.

Durant was warming up, and when he heard the reaction on the scene, he looked up and saw this scene.

His eyelids twitched subconsciously.

He wanted to drink Scarlett's bath water, but Hansen was here showing off his affection with Swift.

Damn it!
After the warm-up, the scene entered the opening ceremony.

The fans completely let out their emotions, and the explosive cheers were intimidating.

After the opening ceremony, the starting lineups of both sides were announced.

Grizzlies: Conley, Hansen, Battier, Randolph, Gasol

Thunder: Westbrook, Sefolosha, Durant, Ibaka, Perkins
The Grizzlies made adjustments to their starting lineup, and Battier appeared in the starting lineup for the first time since joining the Grizzlies.

When Durant saw this change on the court, he was eager to try.

He was made uncomfortable by Allen in the previous games, but tonight he can finally have a good time.

Yes, eliminate the Grizzlies and let Hansen go home and cry while hugging Swift!
Amid the cheers of the fans, Ibaka jumped to win the ball, giving the Thunder the right to attack first.

Durant leaned against Battier in the high post and reached out for the ball. After receiving the ball, he immediately stood up and played one-on-one.

The cheers of Oklahoma City fans have begun to be heard at the scene. They can't hide or use up their enthusiasm tonight.

Durant turned around after receiving the ball. He knew it was difficult to shoot at Battier, but it was right to just break through.

He changed direction and broke through to the right, but just as he stopped suddenly, he saw Han Sen coming to help defend.

This forced him to speed up and shoot in advance.

"when!"

After the rhythm was disrupted, Durant's shot hit the rim.

Gasol Jr. protected the defensive rebound.

The Thunder retreated quickly, but the Grizzlies still didn't play fast.

After advancing to the frontcourt, Randolph received the ball in the low post.

The Grizzlies' style of play doesn't seem to be any different from before, but changes can still be seen in the details.

Because Randolph's body was sideways to the free throw line, it was easier for him to observe.

The Thunder team contracted to help defend, and Randolph quickly passed the ball to Hansen, who moved to the free throw line after a pick-and-roll with Gasol Jr.

It's just that the Thunder's morale is high and the players are very motivated. Hansen was defended by Durant as soon as he received the ball.

Han Sen didn't pause, he faked a shot and then broke through Durant and got into the paint.

Ibaka was returning to defense, but he soon discovered that Hansen didn't seem to be going for a layup.

After stepping into the Thunder's three-second zone, Hansen suddenly accelerated and soared into the air.

"Oh!"

Before Ibaka could return to defense, Hansen slammed the ball into the basket with a one-handed slam dunk.

There was a sudden commotion at the scene. Hansen's show of force not only surprised the fans, but also boosted the morale of the Grizzlies.

You can tell how much this goal boosted morale by the way the Grizzlies bench stood up and waved their towels.

"OKC! OKC!"

However, the fans at the scene had endless energy. They turned around and began to cheer for the home team in unison.

Durant continued to ask for the ball with his back to the basket. This time he chose to play a one-on-one with his back to the basket and then turned around and faded away.

This kind of ball can avoid being double-teamed by Hansen, but the difficulty lies in facing Battier's blindfold defense.

"Shh!"

Durant showed off his top-notch shooting skills, and with plenty of energy, Battier's blindfold defense was ineffective against him.

In the Grizzlies' offense, the ball was still given to Randolph, and Hansen was still running without the ball.

This is where Hansen’s cleverness lies. He doesn’t insist on playing with the ball, but instead seeks the most efficient way of playing.

His passing ability is average now, but his lateral movement is excellent, so he is more confident playing without the ball than with the ball.

The Thunder paid attention to his pick-and-roll to the free throw line this time, but Hansen ran back to the weak-side corner after the pick-and-roll.

Seeing this, Randolph passed the ball to Marc Gasol who was in the high post on the weak side after the pick-and-roll. Gasol then passed the ball to Hansen as a transition axis.

Hansen received the ball and had an open opportunity, but when he was about to shoot, Ibaka flew towards him with all his might.

Han Sen did not force the shot. Instead, he faked a shot and then broke through to the basket on the right.

At this time, Perkins also retreated back to the basket.

The Thunder seemed to have a morale buff tonight, and their defensive enthusiasm was maxed out.

Seeing this, Han Sen chose to stop and shoot from mid-range.

Thanks to [Iron Bones], the impact of this knee-breaking fighting style on him was minimized.

"Shh!"

The basketball went into the net and Hansen scored 4 points in a row at the start of the game.

Everyone can say nice things, and James said a lot of them when he was on the Cavaliers. The key lies in what you do after you say them.

From defense to offense, Han Sen was practicing what he said.

It's like two armies fighting each other. The general takes the lead and although he may not win, it inspires the other armies. Westbrook tried to attack the basket, but was stopped by Gasol.

Looking back, Randolph's shot against Perkins in the low post was also defended by the latter. Randolph's second attack after grabbing the frontcourt rebound was also blocked by Ibaka, and finally the rebound was taken by Perkins.

The fight for the rebound caused both Randolph and Ibaka to fall to the ground.

Both sides played with the intensity expected of a tiebreaker.

At this intensity, every point counts.

The Thunder's ball finally fell into Durant's hands.

Durant chose to face the basket this time, but before breaking through, he observed Hansen's position, and then broke through to the other side for a quick stop and jump shot.

Conley came over to help defend from the other side, and he and Battier jumped up together to interfere.

Durant took a mid-range shot facing the two players.

"Shh!"

Hit again!

The Ford Center was in a frenzy.

Durant is the star player of the Thunder and the root of Oklahoma City.

In the transition between offense and defense, Brooks waved his hands wildly on the sidelines, continuing to demonstrate his ability to adjust. Perkins began to defend Randolph from the front.

Conley tried to hang on to the basket, but Westbrook was bouncing around in front of him like a Ninja Turtle.

The Thunder, playing at home, played a more aggressive defense. The Grizzlies' offense was halfway through the game, but their tactics could not be implemented.

Hansen took the initiative to receive the ball when he saw this, but the Thunder tried to stop him. When he successfully got the ball, there were only 8 seconds left for the attack.

This kind of scene is panic-inducing, but Hansen is used to it, because he made his debut in the Cavaliers and is accustomed to this kind of ball.

He called for a pick-and-roll on Gasol Jr., with which he dribbled past Ibaka with a low center of gravity, then rushed to the basket at full speed and took off in the three-second zone.

Perkins had no time to defend, but Westbrook had somehow shrunk to the basket and jumped high towards Hansen.

Game 3 was a week ago, and most fans only remember Han Sen's thrilling double buzzer-beater three-pointers. Few people realize that both of Han Sen's three-pointers were made in front of him!

Most people would at least shut themselves off for a few months if they encountered something like this, but he just wanted to get his revenge!

Han Sen was a little surprised to see Westbrook, but he didn't stop moving.

The two people collided in mid-air, and then...

"Oh!"

Hansen blasted the ball into the basket with one hand through Westbrook!
Before the match against the Heat in March, Hansen had already improved [Classical Master] to the bottleneck. After that, he only had one thing to train, which was to improve [All Dunks Except Tomahawk] to the bottleneck.

Although it has not been achieved yet, it is very close.

After the confrontation, Westbrook lost his balance in the air and fell into the crowd of photographers under the basket.

After Han Sen dunked, his hand hung on the basket for a while and he was forced to let go. After landing, he managed to keep his body steady.

One person was standing while the other fell down. The result of the confrontation between the two was already obvious.

The fans at the scene went crazy.

Han Sen actually dunked over Westbrook, who is known for his physical fitness? !

Is this really a yellow person?
The Grizzlies' bench was really crazy.

The players were dancing with towels flying, and Jordan Crawford stood up and put his hands on his head in disbelief.

This ball is more visually impactful than the one he dunked over James in the regular season.

But the funniest thing at this point was Swift's reaction in the front row of the audience, her mouth opened so wide it looked like an egg could fit in it.

Why does it feel like Han Sen's impact force has become stronger?

The Grizzlies' momentum has risen, and Westbrook's attack on the basket was blocked again, and this time the rebound was protected by Randolph.

Han Sen looked up at the score as he ran forward.

6:4.

The Grizzlies held up in this opening.

This is very important because the Thunder had the best timing, location and people in Game 7. If they had been outplayed by them at the beginning, it would have been difficult to come back.

This is also the reason why he had consecutive dunks at the beginning of the game. Although that would accelerate the consumption of physical strength, he had to show momentum in order to hold on.

So far, the results are pretty good.

But this is the Thunder's home court after all, and tonight is so different.

"Defend! Defend!"

The overwhelming cheers of Oklahoma City fans continued to echo at the scene.

The invisible sound waves seemed to drown out the Grizzlies players on the field.

The Thunder's momentum, which had been slightly suppressed, was boosted again by the fans.

Randolph was still having trouble catching the ball, and he got a little angry. He elbowed Perkins, but the referee caught him and called an offensive foul.

The fans at the scene burst into cheers.

Han Sen grabbed Randolph and said, "Set a screen for me, I'll help you get him!"

Durant's breakthrough caused Gasol Jr. to foul. He went to the free throw line and made both free throws, and the score was tied again.

The big LED screen on the scene gave the statistics of the players from both sides: Hansen 6 points, Durant 6 points.

Before the start of this seventh game, no one would have thought that the game would turn out like this.

Of course, Hansen and Durant knew that this was like a continuation of their one-on-one duel that summer.

A tie-break game to decide the outcome.

After Conley advanced to the frontcourt, he began to make tactical gestures and then passed the ball to Hansen.

Randolph moved to the high post to set a pick-and-roll for Hansen.

Randolph's pick-and-roll can allow Hansen to be mismatched against Perkins, and Perkins' mobility is much worse than Ibaka's.

However, the Thunder were in very good shape tonight. Ibaka and Perkins had already completed their communication and switch defense in advance.

However, this gave Han Sen a chance.

After taking one dribble, Hansen decisively chose a mid-range jump shot.

Ibaka was like a chicken with its blood pumped up this time. He leaped forward with all his might and jumped up almost at the same time as him.

The fans at the scene began to get excited. That was 28 Card, the top blocker in the world. Even James had to stand back from him.

However, Han Sen did not dodge. He just accelerated his arm and completed the shot at the highest point.

The basketball just passed over Ibaka's fingertips.

"Snapped!"

Ibaka's block hit his palm.

The referee's whistle sounded immediately.

Han Sen looked at the spinning basketball with a smile on his face.

"Shh!"

There was a crisp sound of the ball entering the net.

After landing, Ibaka held his head with a frustrated look on his face after seeing the ball go in.

The Ford Center is in a state of agitation.

Dunking over Westbrook and getting 28 shots in the face, Han Sen's performance tonight was incredible.

Off camera, Hollins sat there, watching everything that happened on the court in shock.

At this moment, the last words Wallace said to him echoed in his mind, which were also what Han Sen said.

The narrow road meets the brave to win!
