Basketball's No. 1 Anti-Fan

Chapter 140 "Memphis doesn't have No. 23, but they have No. 77"

"Fuck!" Durant swore.

How could there be someone in the world as disgusting as Han Sen!

Even more annoying than those Dou haters he encountered on social media!
He threw Brooks's reminder to the back of his mind. He just wanted to tear Hansen to pieces.

Well, just like it did countless times last summer.

The previous round was just an accident. He didn't believe that he couldn't beat Han Sen.

He reached for the ball, then motioned to pull away.

Brooks was helpless after seeing this scene.

But he had no choice but to believe it, after all, that was Kevin Durant.

Durant was obviously more careful when attacking this time. He was real but not stupid.

He tried to use the ball to attract Han Sen to cut the ball so as to break through, but Han Sen was not moved at all.

Or maybe it was the confrontation last summer that allowed Hansen to tell whether Durant was really going to attack or was just faking it.

Durant failed to fake a dribble, so he turned the fake into a real one and broke through on the left.

Han Sen moved at this time, and the two of them moved towards the free throw line together.

After reaching the free throw line, Durant suddenly made a pull-up jump shot.

Because he was wary of Han Sen's cut, he was a little slow in launching the ball.

But when he jumped, he found that Han Sen was actually faster than him!
He is not Kobe, and he does not have the ability to pull up and shoot in the air. He can only lean back and shoot as soon as possible.

However, he underestimated Han Sen's jumping ability.

Or he was using the same criteria as last summer, when Han Sen already had the talent for dunking.

"Snapped!"

Something unexpected happened to everyone. Hansen actually blocked Durant head-on!
That's Kevin Durant!
Although this ball had a hint of prediction, Hansen fully demonstrated his physical talent.

And after the block, Hansen still controlled the ball in the air!
After landing, he changed direction and passed Durant.

Durant was trying hard to catch up, but Hansen, who had the ball, was faster than him.

The two rushed to the front court one after the other. Han Sen held his breath, flew up and dunked the ball into the basket with both hands.

Durant's strenuous block just flew over his head.

The entire Ford Center was in turmoil.

This ball is so demoralizing!

After landing, Han Sen's legs felt weak and his body felt hollowed out, which was not a good feeling.

However, his spirit at this moment was unprecedentedly excited.

The moment he smashed the ball into the basket, he felt that he had crossed the mountain. Although it still stood there tall, it was behind him.

102:100.

The Grizzlies took a crucial 2-point lead with one minute left in the game.

The fans at the scene no longer dared to breathe deeply.

In the seventh game, the game went down to the countdown, and we were leading for more than three quarters but were overtaken in the end. It was really unbearable for a person with a strong heart.

"OKC! OKC!"

The cheers from the audience were still there, but what was obviously different from the opening was that you could hear a slight vibrato from it.

Hansen really did it, he made the Oklahoma City fans tremble in fear.

Durant still asked for the ball with his back to the basket and he did not escape.

But Han Sen chose to go half way around.

Although the defensive round just now was very exciting, it is unrealistic for you to defend Durant in every round. The best way is to limit him from receiving the ball.

Durant tried to counter-attack, but Hansen didn't let him, and the two men's off-ball confrontation was fierce.

The referee finally blew the whistle and called a defensive foul on Hansen.

The moves of both players are actually similar, but this is the Thunder's home court, and Durant is a superstar.

The fans at the scene breathed a sigh of relief.

Hollins protested excitedly to the referee at this time, but that did not change the decision.

"So you're just like that guy LeBron. You can only survive in the league by relying on referees." Han Sen cast a disdainful look at Durant.

"Shut up!" Durant was really angry, "Don't compare me to that guy!"

Compared to the fans, James' "Decision" has a more serious impact on the players.

It's just that James was being promoted by Nike at this time, and most players had to rely on Nike for their livelihood, so they could only turn a deaf ear to it like those people on the original Cavaliers. However, Durant was obviously an exception.

"Then why don't you punish me?" Han Sen was full of disdain. If he wasn't a time traveler, he would have thought that Durant was much more noble than James.

Durant snorted coldly.

Of course he couldn't not punish her. Only a fool would fall for such low-level rhetoric.

However, his first free throw went wide.

Han Sen successfully messed up his mentality.

He shook his head, shook his shoulders vigorously twice, and made the second free throw.

In the final 40 seconds, the Grizzlies led by 1 point.

The deafening defensive shouts of Oklahoma City fans rang out again.

As long as the Thunder can defend against the Grizzlies' attack, the victory will still belong to them.

Conley steadily pressed the time after halftime, which was a familiar scene from Game 3, but this time he steadily passed the ball to Hansen after 10 seconds.

The person defending Hansen is Durant.

Although Durant was already a superstar in the league at this time, this was only his fourth season in the NBA.

He is still young and passionate.

Han Sen blocked his, so he had to block back.

There were ten people on the field and twenty thousand people on the sidelines, but except for the two of them, everyone else seemed to have disappeared at this moment.

The two seemed to be back at the training ground in Memphis last summer.

Only they, win or lose by one goal.

Hansen held the ball with one hand and broke through on the right after a three-threat situation.

Durant's pace was slower than Hansen's, but his concentration at the moment allowed him to keep up with Hansen.

Hansen was unable to break through to the basket from the right.

He didn't do that. After taking two steps, he stopped quickly, collected the ball, and then made a mid-range jump shot.

The mid-range shot is now his strongest weapon. More importantly, his physical strength is no longer enough for him to get to the basket.

Durant also rarely stopped at this time, and then jumped almost at the same time as Hansen.

This was almost a mirror image of Hansen's defense against Durant, but the difference was that Durant had a longer wingspan and a greater defensive deterrence.

He had crossed the mountain, but his destiny still lay ahead.

He could see Durant's determined face, and the talent gap between the two meant that even if he shot earlier, he would not be able to get past Durant.

The fans began to cheer at the scene, and Durant also defended Hansen!

But soon, the cheers turned into exclamations.

Because they saw Kobe... No, they saw Hansen dodge with a pull-up shot in the air, avoid Durant's block, and complete an incredible shot before falling!
[Classical Masters] What has been the biggest improvement? It is the waist and abdominal strength that even Swift is afraid of.

The strength of the waist and abdomen is a prerequisite for completing this difficult movement.

As for the rest, leave it to a soft touch.

The basketball flew past Durant.

Durant looked back with wide eyes and saw the basketball flying in a parabola.

"Shh!"

The crisp sound of the ball entering the net was like the sound of a hammer falling to announce the verdict.

There is no such thing as destiny; it's just a stepping stone on the road to legend!

104 is better than 101!

With 20 seconds left, the Grizzlies had a 3-point lead and Brooks called a timeout.

"God!" Barkley went crazy.

It was not just because of the incredible goal that Han Sen had just scored, but also because of Han Sen's series of performances at the decisive moment.

No, maybe we should also count his entire fourth quarter, Han Sen played the entire last quarter!

At this time, the large LED screen also showed Han Sen's statistics for the night.

27投14中，三分球9投3中，罚球12罚11中，42分5板4助攻3失误3抢断1盖帽4犯规，新的季后赛得分记录。

This performance is on par with Durant on the opposite side.

Barkley remembered what A. Smith said and couldn't help laughing.

"Memphis doesn't have No. 23, but they do have No. 77!"

"Ah!"

Han Sen sneezed on the bench.

His voice also interrupted Hollins' tactical arrangements.

Han Sen motioned for him to continue.

Hollins' defensive ability is online, and the emphasis now is on limiting Durant's receiving the ball.

Compared to the Grizzlies' last attack, the Thunder's was much easier to defend.

Because Durant is the only reliable three-pointer on the Thunder.

Although Sefolosha shot well in this series, he is not someone like Battier who can make key shots.

As for Westbrook, you'd better believe that I am Qin Shi Huang than to believe him.

In Game 1, the Grizzlies were basically ahead by 5 points, and that was also because of this.

After the timeout, the Thunder's pick-and-roll in the frontcourt was clearly aimed at passing the ball to Durant.

Trailing by 3 points, Brooks couldn't do anything fancy.

Under the Grizzlies' defense, Durant was ultimately unable to catch the ball.

Because of the 5-second limit on serving, Westbrook could only pass the ball to Ibaka first, and then enter the court to hold the ball.

With 20 seconds left, even if Durant doesn't get the first shot, there's still a second chance.

But at this moment, a very harsh sound was heard from the field.

"Let him shoot, he can't make three-pointers!"

Han Sen used an extremely low-level move.

Just like he asked Duran to take a special free throw before.

Conley took it seriously and put Westbrook one meter away.

The shadow area in Westbrook's heart at this moment is exactly the same as Durant's before.

But he is different from Durant. Durant has self-control, while Westbrook rushes to the top directly with enthusiasm.

After seeing that Durant still had no chance to run away, he turned around and shot directly!
"Don't shoot! Russell, don't shoot!" Brooks shouted, but it was too late.

The basketball flew straight towards the basket.

"when!"

Hit the front and hit the basket!

Randolph protected the defensive rebound.

Ibaka could only foul on the spot and send Randolph to the free throw line.

There were only 9 seconds left in the game.

Brooks's eyes were somewhat desperate.

The light in Durant's eyes disappeared.

But he still walked over to Westbrook and pulled his head into his arms to comfort him.

Although the outside world has high expectations for them, this is only their second time to enter the playoffs.

Randolph's free throw.

Oklahoma City fans were frantically making interference noises with their already hoarse throats.

Randolph made both free throws.

A useless piece of knowledge. The last time Randolph made the playoffs was in the 2002-2003 season. At that time, his free throw percentage in the regular season was 75%, but it reached 89% after entering the playoffs. This season, his free throw percentage in the regular season was 75%, and his free throw percentage in the playoffs has reached 88%.

He is obviously not a stat brush, he just needs a stage.

With Randolph making both free throws, the game was over.

At this point, Oklahoma City fans finally felt like a deflated ball.

They had the best of both worlds, and even Durant played at a career-high level, but they still lost the game!

The Grizzlies' bench had already started celebrating.

Han Sen received a hero's welcome.

"There are still 9 seconds left. Miller scored 9 points in 8 seconds." Han Sen remained calm.

At this time, Jogel secretly gave Hansen a thumbs up.

After the timeout, the score on the field did not change in the last 9 seconds. Durant's long-range three-pointer went wide of the frame. Gasol Jr. got the rebound and raised it high. The Thunder also gave up on continuing to foul.

The Grizzlies finally started celebrating wildly.

Han Sen was surrounded and yelling.

He was already exhausted, but now he seemed to be injected with infinite strength. He raised his right hand and shouted.

Although the road to promotion was more difficult than expected, they finally won!
And just as he said before the game, this game allowed them to complete their transformation.

After the Grizzlies' brief celebration, the two sides had a final handshake.

Westbrook jumped over Hansen when shaking hands.

Han Sen was stunned for a moment and then smiled and shook his head.

These two brothers from the Thunder are probably the two with the most genuine personalities in the NBA.

"Let's train together in the summer?" Han Sen asked with a smile while shaking hands with Durant.

This earned him a cold stare from Durant.

It looks like there is no chance for this training.

"Sorry……"

Han Sen wanted to say something, but Durant had already slipped away quickly.

What a pity, he originally wanted to apologize for preventing Durant from drinking the bath water. After all, Scarlett said that as long as Durant won the 2011 championship.

In the end, he could only shake his head helplessly.

But he does have other plans this summer.

Because if nothing unexpected happens, the NBA lockout is coming.

Hansen and Randolph attended the post-match press conference together.

In this game, the Grizzlies were able to win. In addition to Hansen, Randolph's performance was also crucial.

只是简单地从数据层面来讲，韩森和杜兰特得分兑掉，兰多夫22分15板5助攻的表现，比威斯布鲁克16分5板9助攻的数据好了一个档次。

"Han is the strongest teammate I have met since I entered the NBA. Man, he is definitely the strongest. I just need to stand there and watch him score." Randolph smiled and talked while adjusting his headband, as happy as a child.

This involves a question: why do James' teammates always rebel in the end, while Kobe's teammates rarely rebel?

Because ball possession and shooting rights are two different concepts.

If you were asked to choose, which one would make you feel more comfortable: not touching the ball a few times throughout a game and having to shoot as soon as you catch it, or being able to touch the ball but not having many opportunities to shoot?
The answer is obvious. Most role players are aware and know to give the ball to the strongest player in the team to finish, but the prerequisite is that you have to make him feel involved, not responsible.

One of the purposes of basketball tactical design is to get more people on the field involved and keep them motivated.

Although Randolph's score is not as high as Hansen's, many of the Grizzlies' tactics are initiated by him, and his sense of participation is no less than Hansen's.

"I'm not exaggerating. I think Zach is not much worse than TD. He should be included in the discussion of the top three forwards in the league. He is 1000% underestimated." Hansen was still full of praise when asked about Randolph's performance.

"Speaking of TD, your next opponent will be the Spurs. Do you have anything to say?" the reporter asked Han Sen.

"That's the match I want most." Han Sen's eyes were fierce.
