Basketball's No. 1 Anti-Fan

Chapter 152 [No-look pass without fakes]

Of course, before heading to Miami, Hansen still wanted to take advantage of the popularity.

Especially now that the season is over, he needs more black fans to impact his talent level.

Open social media and post a status.

"The Mavericks will defeat the Heat to win their first championship in franchise history, and they will settle the battle in six games."

Before this, ESPN conducted a survey and the Heat were generally favored.

Even Stan predicted that the Heat would win the championship after the Grizzlies were eliminated.

They have every reason to believe this, as the Heat's performance in the playoffs exceeded expectations.

They thought the Heat would struggle in the playoffs after struggling in the regular season.

But thanks to excellent defense, they defeated the Celtics and Bulls 4-1 respectively.

Of these two teams, the Celtics have only two wins less than the Heat, and the Bulls are first in the league.

Especially in the series against the Bulls, the Heat lost the first game, but then won four games in a row by strengthening their defense.

The tempering of the playoffs has made this Heat team fully prepared for the finals.

On the other hand, although the Mavericks had a great performance in sweeping the Lakers, they were dragged into the sixth game by the Grizzlies who were missing Gay.

Even worse, after a fierce battle with the Grizzlies, Nowitzki strained the tendon of the middle finger of his left hand.
Coupled with the fact that the Heat have the home-court advantage, the Heat can be said to have the best of both worlds.

After posting his status, Han Sen waited for a wave of haters to come his way.

Because the media is optimistic about his performance, his uncharacteristic remarks will inevitably be criticized.

But when he actually released it, the subsequent developments made him laugh and cry.

He didn't get too many black fans, but the number of fans on his account saw a surge.

It's a bit like "I was just a passerby, but if you criticize James, we are friends."

Han Sen didn't understand at first, but after thinking about it carefully, he seemed to understand.

He didn't pay attention to the distinction between "media" and "fans".

It was like before he traveled through time, when political correctness was rampant in the Western world.

Movies and games must be made in the way they require, otherwise they will be boycotted, slandered, and even asked for "protection fees" by the mainstream media.

In that context, if there is a movie or a game that is politically correct and has decent quality in the end, movie or game fans will be thrilled.

It’s similar now, Nike influences the media, and the media is optimistic about the Heat.

But fans will not lose their memory. After "The Decision", regardless of how many James fans turned into James haters, the Heat became the big villains.

There is no compliment to using this villain. In the basketball context of this era, the peak team-up is always despised by most people.

The charm of basketball lies in competition, not in who is smarter or who can take shortcuts.

Indeed, that is allowed within the rules, but just as there are morals outside the law, fans also have their own bottom line.

Although they cannot fight against the media, they have the power to choose freely.

Han Sen figured this out. If he really wanted to gain more haters, he should have done the opposite of what he did in the first place and thought that the Heat would sweep the Mavericks.

But you can't jump back and forth in expressing this kind of position.

But it’s not a bad thing to have so many fans, and the number is still growing.

The first game of the finals will be played in Miami.

Hansen flew to Miami, but he wasn't alone.

Swift's new single was released at the end of April, and she now finally has some time to rest.

Han Sen also plans to enjoy himself after playing for a season.

So we went to Miami with Swift to watch the finals and also to vacation together in Miami, a tourist destination.

On the night of Game 1, Hansen and Swift appeared in the front row of the American Airlines Arena.

Their appearance also drew cheers from the audience.

Swift is now extremely popular and is one of the top stars in the United States; Hansen has also officially joined the ranks of stars after experiencing the baptism of this year's playoffs.

They are now a match made in heaven.

During the pre-game warm-up, Hansen chatted with Nowitzki for a while and expressed his concern about his finger injury.

Nowitzki was already wearing special finger guards at this time.

"I don't need to shoot with my left hand." Nowitzki's mentality is very optimistic.

Han Sen could only wish Nowitzki good luck.

Although Nowitzki is not a left-handed player, for players who rely on shooting, injuries to their auxiliary hand will inevitably affect their feel.

After Hansen and Nowitzki finished chatting, they returned to the audience seats and the game started soon.

Sure enough, after the game started, Nowitzki's touch had big problems and he missed consecutive shots at the beginning.

The Heat also seized the opportunity to launch consecutive defensive counterattacks and established an advantage in the starting period.

Looking at the situation on the court, Hansen couldn't help but sigh that Spoelstra is indeed a very capable coach.

If it was the Heat team that played against the Grizzlies in the regular season, they wouldn't be able to perform like this.

However, the situation was reversed after the Mavericks replaced their substitutes.

The Mavericks' substitutes are really strong.

Especially O'Neal and Barea, one is big and the other is fast, the Heat don't have much to do.

So this game was very much like a replica of the previous game between the Grizzlies and Thunder.

Because Nowitzki was in poor form, the Heat were able to gain an advantage in the starting lineup, but that advantage would be recovered by the Mavericks in the substitute transition period.

After three quarters of fighting, the Heat led the Mavericks 75 to 71.

Then, at the start of the fourth quarter, the situation changed again.

The familiar plot, off-peak travel (Wade version) is here.

O'Neal was teased by his former teammate Wade and looked old and frail.

Led by Wade, the Heat went on a direct offensive.

With about 7 minutes left in the game, Wade hit a three-pointer and the Heat were already leading the Mavericks by as much as 15 points.

Looking at the familiar score difference, Han Sen's heart began to twist.

However, what he didn't expect was that after stopping the Mavericks, James and Wade actually celebrated in front of the Mavericks bench. Not only did they bump chests, they also did an impromptu dance.

This is someone who really thinks he has a sure win and is mocking him.

Then, the game became different.

After the timeout, Nowitzki came back off the bench and the Mavericks began to chase points.

First, Nowitzki double-teamed Kidd and passed the ball to him from the outside, and Kidd made an open three-pointer.

The Heat were defending a 2-1-2 zone at the time, and James failed to defend and loudly criticized Chalmers.

Immediately afterwards, Terry made two points and Marion counterattacked with a layup.

The Mavericks made an 8-2 run to quickly close the gap, and Spoelstra reacted quickly and called a timeout.

But after the timeout, the Heat still couldn't score.

It’s not that the Heat suddenly couldn’t play anymore, but their defensive counterattack system failed.

The premise of defensive counterattack is that you can defend your opponent.

In particular, when the game came to the last 4 minutes, Nowitzki, who had been silent for almost the entire game, finally started his performance.

The mid-range shot was made.

Another mid-range shot.

Even if Bosh put his hand on Nowitzki's face, the German tank was still unstoppable. Hansen was very familiar with this feeling.

In fact, if he hadn't injured his finger in the fierce competition with the Grizzlies, a scene like this might have happened at the beginning of the game.

But it seems it’s not too late now.

On the other hand, after the Heat were dragged into a positional battle by the Mavericks' high offensive success rate, they became the team they were in the regular season.

And Carlisle also started to exert his strength.

His defensive strategy in this section was very determined, which was to prevent Wade from attacking.

Limiting the ball reception, double-teaming, inside and outside defense...all the available moves were used.

Wade can't play, so the ball can only go to James and Bosh.

That was a disaster.

James missed a fadeaway mid-range shot, Bosh made a mistake in the low-post attack, James missed a three-pointer, and James missed another three-pointer...

With Nowitzki's layup, the Mavericks went on a 17-2 run and tied the score with one minute left!
This feeling of despair shows that the Mavericks are indeed the team that is best at making comebacks in this season's playoffs.

Spoelstra called another timeout, and the American Airlines Arena was already silent.

After the timeout, Wade finally got a chance, but his shot from outside also missed the basket.

After not getting a chance to shoot for such a long time, his touch had become cold.

Looking back, Nowitzki received a pass from Kidd and made a three-pointer, which almost killed the game.

The Heat were forced to call a final timeout.

After the timeout, Chalmers, who had just been reprimanded by James, made a contribution. He received a breakthrough pass from James and hit a three-pointer in the bottom corner, and the two sides tied again.

Han Sen couldn't help laughing when he saw this scene.

Such a scene was too immersive for him.

In the last 25 seconds, Nowitzki received the ball outside the three-point line at a 45-degree angle. After getting a one-on-one space, he turned his back and dribbled past Bosh, just like he dribbled past Gasol against the Grizzlies. He stuck out his tongue and flew to pass the ball to the basket for a layup before James could help defend.

With 3.6 seconds left, the Heat had no more timeouts. Wade received the ball in the midfield and took three steps to the three-point line. Facing Marion's interference, he forced a three-point shot, but it went wide.

95 to 93, the Mavericks once again achieved an epic comeback and took the lead in the finals.

赛后的数据统计，韦德空砍36分5板6助攻3抢断，詹姆斯20分8板4助攻4抢断5失误，波什16投仅4中得12分8板。

诺维茨基24分11板4助攻5失误，马里昂20分8板3助攻，特里16分5助攻。

After reading it, Han Sen felt that his trip to Miami was worthwhile.

It really deserves to be the most dramatic game. He only remembered that James and Wade imitated Nowitzki's coughing together, but he didn't expect that the two of them would also dance on each other's faces.

And this seems to be somewhat different from the "history" he has in mind, because he doesn't think the finals started like this.

This start is too similar to the Mavericks' previous game against the Lakers.

Will the Heat also be swept by the Mavericks?

Han Sen has now become the biggest spectator.

He continued to stay in Miami, taking Swift around during the day. The Miami Beach in June was already pleasant.

In the evening, he let go and practiced with Swift, focusing on post-up plays and supplemented by off-ball offense.

Two days later, the finals G2 started.

Hansen went to the scene, and Swift was recuperating in the hotel due to severe injuries.

The process of this game was very similar to G1. Nowitzki's touch was still not good in the first quarter, and the Heat still had an advantage in the starting period.

The difference is that Spoelstra made adjustments earlier, allowing James to travel early to avoid the peak hours.

He also used the "Hack-a-Shaq" tactic against O'Neal, who missed free throws one after another, and Carlisle was forced to replace him.

The Heat maintained their advantage during this period of transition from the bench.

However, when the main forces of both sides returned, the situation changed again.

Because Nowitzki found his touch earlier than in G1.

Nowitzki scored 12 points in a single quarter. Under his leadership, the Mavericks took the lead in advance.

Hansen could fully feel how depressed the Miami fans at the scene were.

Because if they lose two home games in a row, they will have no chance at all.

Fortunately, they still have Wade.

Wade was in great form in Game 1 and was no less impressive in Game 2. He frequently attacked the Mavericks' inside line and managed to turn the score around in the third quarter.

In the last quarter, the two sides basically took turns leading the score, and the intensity of the confrontation on the field was very high.

In the last three minutes, neither side scored much.

With one minute left in the game, the Heat took a crucial 2-point lead thanks to Wade's difficult jump shot.

But Nowitzki tied the score with a fadeaway jumper while also being double-teamed, which was his 34th point of the night.

In the last 20 seconds, the two sides were tied again.

It was another similar round, but the Heat had the ball in the end.

James broke through with the ball, Wade tried his best to block Nowitzki, James passed the ball to Bosh, and Bosh made a key mid-range shot to kill the game.

Bosh completed his redemption, and the Heat did not fall into the situation of being swept as Hansen expected.

I can only say that the Miami people really should give Wade a kowtow.

韦德在G1得了36分，然后G2又是29分，两场比赛下来场均32.5分，这都快赶上2006年总决赛的发挥了。

On the other hand, James scored 20 points in the last game and 17 points in this game, averaging 18 points per game. This performance really made him look like Pippen.

This also made Han Sen look forward to the next game even more.

The finals of this era still use a 2-3-2 format, and the next games will be held in Dallas.

Hansen left Miami not because of the competition system, but because Swift said she suddenly wanted to go back and continue writing songs.

Hansen also left Miami, but he did not go to Dallas, but returned to Memphis.

The lockout will not begin until July, after the old collective bargaining agreement expires, so he is in no hurry to open training camp.

After watching the first two games of the finals, he had new ideas about talent exchange.

Passing the ball is something he desperately needs, but it is not a must-have talent.

He now wants to be a scorer like Wade, not a ball-handling core like James.

On the one hand, because the Grizzlies play as a team, he does need to play one-on-one with the ball outside, but not in large quantities, and using one level of talent is also overflowing;
On the other hand, if he changes the Grizzlies' style of play and becomes a ball-handling core, that may not be a good choice.

Because the ball-holding core style of play is not only highly consuming, but also easily ruins teammates, and the upper limit is not high.

In other words, his passing talent is just enough for him.

So he didn't have to wait.

He now has 60 black fan points, which is more than enough to exchange for the second-tier passing talent.

Moreover, after the exchange, because the talent needs training to reach the bottleneck, he can also continue to accumulate black fans.

Wait until the middle of the season. No, because there is a lockout this year, maybe before the season starts we can see if there is a chance to redeem a point-control talent.

Top-notch ball control would greatly increase his offensive threat, just like Wade did in the Finals.

After figuring it out, Han Sen found a passing talent in the second tier of talents, which was worth $23.

[No-look pass without faking]: Improve finger coordination and flexibility, and improve passing vision.
