Basketball's No. 1 Anti-Fan

Chapter 142: Kill you while you are sick
After smiling and greeting Budenholzer, Hansen turned and returned to the Grizzlies' half.

"What did you do just now?" Guy, who was dressed in a suit, asked curiously when Han Sen returned to the bench.

"Nothing, I went to give him some advice."

"You went to scare him? Aren't you afraid that he would mess with you?"

"He didn't dare."

"How do you know he doesn't dare?"

Guy's question really stunned Han Sen.

Sometimes straightforward thinking can be thought-provoking.

"That should be fun," Han Sen said with a smile.

There were no surprises in Game 1, as the Grizzlies defeated the Spurs 101-93 to take the lead.

Randolph was unstoppable in the low post, and Hansen frequently shot and hit the target from mid-range.

It turns out that the poisonous milk is just like the "Most Improved Award" that Han Sen knew before, which is purely a stereotype.

If you can really win the game by relying on bad luck, then why do you need to practice basketball skills?
But it is true that Duncan did not perform well.

What Hansen said before the game was pure jinx. Duncan was troubled by plantar fasciitis this season and it was the worst year of his career.

He averaged 13.4 points, 8.9 rebounds and 1.9 blocks per game in the regular season. It's a wonder he could get MVP votes with this performance.

Especially his injury worsened at the end of the regular season, otherwise the Spurs would not have played the Hornets in six games in the first round.

Popovich was also intimidated by Hansen's words and did not dare to do anything rash during the game.

But he made a big splash in the post-match press conference.

Hansen's behavior before the game was too abnormal, so a reporter asked about the communication between Hansen and Popovich.

"He told me that he hit me on purpose." Popovich's words immediately caused an uproar.

You know, Han Sen had been questioned before whether he deliberately injured Popovich. Now Han Sen actually ran in front of people and shouted. It's simply lawless!
When the Grizzlies held their press conference, Hansen immediately became the target of public criticism.

Han Sen was mentally prepared for this result.

The Spurs, or you can even say that Americans have a characteristic, that is, when they are in an advantageous position, they will be very magnanimous, but once they are in a disadvantageous position, there is no such thing as magnanimity at all.

For details, please see the highlights of Pan Zhanle's sudden appearance and the Americans' defense breaking.

"Did he really say that?" So when the reporter was asked this question, Han Sen looked incredulous.

"You know, Popovich is a legend in the league and one of the coaches I respect the most. I went to apologize to him before the game. Although it was unintentional, I have always felt guilty for causing him such a serious injury."

Han Sen's emotion was very sincere when he said this, and the reporters were all moved by him.

"But if he really thinks I did it on purpose, I don't think it will be any use explaining it to him, after all I am just a young player."

After this series of moves, the reporters were a little confused.

Because Han Sen looked like the one who was wrongly accused.

Especially since the Spurs had just lost, Popovich's words sounded like he couldn't afford to lose.

So, after G1, some people tried to find out what Han Sen said by looking at the game video.

As a result, due to the limited number of camera positions in this era, the short video platform had not yet appeared, and not many people were interested in recording with their mobile phones, it was impossible to find a frontal image of Han Sen speaking.

The result is that the two sides' statements are inconsistent and there is no way to verify them.

But in the eyes of Spurs fans, they believe 100% that what Popovich said is true.

In their eyes, Popovich is a Spurs totem as important as Duncan and the helmsman of the Spurs dynasty.

How could he use the reputation he had built up over the years to frame a young man?

What's more, they already believed that Han Sen did it on purpose.

As a result, before the game between the Grizzlies and the Spurs, a large number of signs greeting Hansen appeared in the stands.

The most common one was the "Fxck Hansen" that I had seen in the hotel where I stayed before.

During the pre-game warm-up, Popovich also gathered the Spurs players together.

Then, he ordered his team members in an angry tone:
"Knock the stuffing out of them!"

This is an American slang, which means: beat the shit out of them!

Han Sen's shameless attitude at the press conference successfully angered him.

After the warm-up, the scene entered the opening ceremony.

Han Sen was booed when he came on stage.

Han Sen frowned.

Because he found that the black fan value did not increase much.

What's wrong with you Spurs fans? You just boo and don't criticize them?

Is it that Popovich doesn't mean enough in your hearts, or is it that my image in your minds is too great after the game against the Thunder?

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

Grizzlies: Conley, Tony Allen, Hansen, Randolph, Gasol

Spurs: Parker, Ginobili, Jefferson, Anthony McDyess, Duncan

In G1, Popovich still used Blair Garhill's starting lineup. After finding that the effect was not good, he adjusted the starting lineup.

Gasol Jr. jumped past Duncan and won the first attack for the Grizzlies.

Randolph first tried one in the low post, and finally rolled over McDyess and shot the ball into the basket.

So did Hansen really praise Randolph during the post-match interview?

For inside players, the most important thing is stability, which is also the main reason why Duncan is recognized as the greatest power forward in history.

So far in the playoffs, Randolph has only had one game in Game 2 of the first round. His stability is not much inferior to that of Duncan.

Parker and Duncan immediately responded with a jump shot after the pick-and-roll.

As the youngest one in GDP, Parker is also the one who maintains the best condition among the three.

Randolph turned around and continued to position himself in the low post. McDyess tried to go around him but failed. After Randolph received the ball and started to play one-on-one, Duncan began to assist in defense.

Hansen and Gasol exchanged glances, and Gasol understood and set up a pick-and-roll. Hansen took advantage of the pick-and-roll to create an opportunity, but Randolph had already thrown the ball over.

Otherwise, how can we say that the game G7 against the Thunder was a transformation? This tacit understanding only requires a glance.

Han Sen's shot after receiving the ball.

Ginobili rushed over to interfere with the ball, but that level of interference did not have much impact on Hansen.

The trajectory of the basketball after the shot is very straight.

But after the ball went in, it bounced out again!
The rebound was protected by Duncan, the Spurs made a fast break, and Parker shook off Conley and scored a layup.

There were cheers from San Antonio fans at the scene.

Popovich stood up and raised his fist in Ginobili's direction.

Randolph continued to play one-on-one in the low post, and the Spurs decisively chose to shrink, and Randolph's final shot went wide of the frame.

Looking back, Parker's breakthrough caused Randolph to commit a defensive foul, and he made both free throws at the free throw line.

"Defend! Defend!"

The defensive shouts of the Spurs fans began to be heard at the scene, and they were about to gain momentum.

After the pick-and-roll, Hansen moved to the three-point line. Randolph double-teamed and passed the ball to him. After receiving the ball, Hansen shook off Jefferson's assisting defense and shot a three-pointer.

"Ding!" Still hammering away at the iron.

The Spurs launched another fast break, Parker's sports car stepped on the accelerator as fast as he could, with Hansen chasing closely from behind.

Parker rushed to the frontcourt and made a fake pass, passing the ball to Ginobili behind him who followed up and scored.

2:8.

The Spurs got off to a perfect start.

The corners of Popovich's mouth have begun to rise.

Although his evil words did not work in the last game, Han Sen was punished by God for lying with his eyes open.

Hansen has no touch, the Spurs only need to defend Randolph and they will have a high chance of winning the game.

Hollins saw that something was not right and called a timeout.

When he came off the court, Han Sen looked down at his hands.

There was absolutely no problem with the rhythm of those two shots, and even the feeling when shooting was right.

It seems that he has some problems with his touch tonight.

After the timeout, Hollins prepared to adjust the tactics, but before that he glanced at Hansen.

Hansen gained popularity in Game 7 against the Thunder, which also changed a lot of things.

For example, Hollins' attitude.

Even if he was not good at dealing with interpersonal relationships, he knew to what extent Han Sen's status in the management had been improved after such a game.

"Sean, come on." Han Sen said as he looked at Hollins.

Allen was used as the starter to defend Ginobili, but the Spurs' offensive focus tonight was on the pick-and-roll between Parker and Duncan.

And they need offense more than defense now.

After the timeout, the Grizzlies replaced Allen with Battier, and the Spurs directly set up a 2-1-2 zone defense.

It has to be Popovich, who knows that Hansen's touch is not good and takes advantage of you to kill you.

Conley called the play and the Grizzlies responded with a 1-3-1 formation.

Gasol held the ball at the free throw line to contain Duncan, then waited for Randolph to gain position in the low post before passing the ball to him.

After receiving the ball, Randolph quickly turned to the baseline and made a turnaround jump shot.

The Grizzlies' zone defense was fine, except that Randolph's jump shot missed.

Veteran player McDyess defended this ball very well.

Duncan turned around and prepared to grab the defensive rebound.

But the moment he stretched out his hand, he felt a dark cloud suddenly covering his head.

"Oh!"

Under the incredible gazes of the fans at the scene, Hansen broke away from Ginobili and rushed into the inside, then jumped up and completed a tip-in from behind Duncan!
If your touch is not good, then look for more opportunities inside!
The huge impact force pushed Duncan directly out of the baseline, and Han Sen's right hand was throbbing with veins bulging and hung on the basket for a while before he stabilized his body and landed on the ground.

There were boos at the scene.

Han Sen was so shameless that he actually attacked Duncan from behind!

If this were a positive answer, Duncan would definitely reward him with a big hot pot!

Han Sen was straightforward. When the camera turned to him, he put his hand to his right ear and made a "listening" gesture.

This action, combined with the scene in front of him, is so annoying.

Then, the booing slowly turned into another sound.

"Fxck Hansen!"

The fans of the Holy City are no longer satisfied with just printing that sentence on their clothes!

Han Sen smiled comfortably.

Because his black fan value finally started to increase!
Hansen's tip-in boosted the morale of the Grizzlies.

Parker's layup after breaking through to the basket was blocked by Gasol Jr. and Conley from the front and back.

Duncan's poor condition allowed the Grizzlies to focus on defense.

Gasol Jr. secured the rebound and then passed it to Conley, who advanced to the frontcourt at a high tempo.

The Grizzlies continued to attack the zone defense, and Gasol continued to receive the ball at the free throw line.

Hansen then set a pick-and-roll with Battier. After the pick-and-roll, he bounced out to the bottom corner while Hansen cut into the basket.

In order to enhance the team's offense, Popovich used Ginobili as the starter in this series. Ginobili's defensive ability was not enough to bypass the pick-and-roll, so he could only follow Battier to the bottom corner.

Gasol Jr. seized the opportunity to pass the ball to Hansen. After receiving the ball, Hansen faced Jefferson and successfully fooled Jefferson with a fake mid-range move.

Just because Hansen missed two shots, did the Spurs players dare to let him shoot at will?

Wake up, he is Han Sen, not James!

In other words, it would be the same if Hansen in the previous question was replaced by Kobe. As a man who once broke through the Spurs' double-team defense, even if Popovich had tactical arrangements, the players would instinctively follow suit.

However, Jefferson is known for his athletic ability. Even though he suffered two knee injuries during his time with the Nets, he still relied on his ability to catch up with Hansen.

And thanks to the double team defense, Duncan has also retreated to the basket.

Seeing this, Hansen made a fake move of a quick stop shot. When Jefferson jumped up and tried to block him from behind, he leaned towards him. The referee blew the whistle and he got two free throws.

Players known for their athleticism always love to jump.

There were boos at the scene.

Han Sen is simply shameless.

If you don't have a good feel for it, just try all kinds of sneak attacks and scams!
Then, when Han Sen stood on the free throw line, the familiar voice rang out again.

"Fxck Hansen!"

You can fully feel how "popular" Hansen is in the Holy City now.

Amid the beeping sounds all over the place, Han Sen made one of two free throws. His touch was really not that good tonight.

Fortunately, Randolph grabbed the offensive rebound!

Although Randolph is only 2 meters tall, his wingspan reaches 06 meters. Coupled with his excellent rebounding awareness, he is second only to Howard in offensive rebounds among active players.

After Randolph grabbed the rebound, he saw Hansen rushing into the inside and passed the ball to him.

Han Sen caught the ball and shot up from the ground like a spring.

[A gift pack of all dunks except the Tomahawk] After reaching the bottleneck, he is considered a spring man in size.

Duncan was under the basket at this time, and he stretched out his arms towards Hansen.

Duncan's talent is even more terrifying than Randolph's, with a height of 2 meters and a wingspan of 11 meters.

Of course, Han Sen was not stupid enough to challenge Duncan head-on. He turned sideways in the air and dodged past Duncan...

"Oh!"

He slammed the ball into the basket with his right hand!
The AT&T Center was suddenly silent.

Han Sen, this time there was no sneak attack, he really dunked over Duncan!

After landing, Han Sen let out a long sigh.

Sure enough, Duncan, who was troubled by plantar fasciitis, was like someone who had a weakness buff in the game, and his reaction speed and everything else became slower.

This is really taking advantage of your illness to kill you!
