Basketball's No. 1 Anti-Fan

Chapter 153: Eight-point Release of Military Power

Passing training needed assistance, so Hansen moved Grover to Memphis.

Grover was not surprised that Hansen started special training so early, because after spending a season with Hansen, he felt Hansen's competitive spirit the strongest.

Of course, in addition to Grover, Hansen also contacted another person: Jason Williams.

Another experience he can draw from the first two seasons is that the talent provided by the system only gives him the soil. What can eventually grow in this soil depends on his own ideas.

For example, after he had the talent for lob shooting, he learned the drifting lob shot from Jamison, and after he had the talent for defense, he learned how to defend Durant from Tony Allen.

The same goes for passing the ball.

Tactical passing is more about passing accuracy, for example, James and Draymond Green are both good at it;
But non-tactical passing requires some creativity in addition to talent.

Williams is nicknamed "White Chocolate". His passing may not be the best in history, but it is definitely the most creative (and naughty) in history.

So in terms of creativity, no one can compare to him.

After the end of last season, Williams posted a status on social media, announcing his retirement again.
However, he will not leave the Grizzlies. The reason why he announced it on social media so quickly is that he has decided to join the Grizzlies coaching staff to train young players for the team.

Therefore, Han Sen's move can be regarded as asking his future coach to guide him in advance.

As Hansen began his summer training, the finals were also underway.

Han Sen would naturally continue to pay attention, but this time he could only watch the live broadcast.

Rondo was called over, and food and drinks were served. Before the game started, the two began their daily betting, with a small bet of $500.

Rondo bets on the Heat.

He conducted a thorough analysis.

He believes that G1 was entirely an accident caused by the Heat underestimating their opponents. After defending their second home court, the Heat has curbed the Mavericks' momentum.

Nowitzki is still troubled by his finger injury and his performance is obviously not as good as before.

Wade is in very hot form, so as long as the Heat don't underestimate their opponent, it will not be a problem for them to win the game.

"Your analysis makes sense, but I still favor the Mavericks."

Han Sen did not give a reason, but he did open his personal social media and posted a status.

"I bet LeBron will score within ten points tonight. $50. Anyone want to bet?"

From the time he posted the status until the game was about to start, only Kanye West left the court.

Sure enough, James fans love black people the most, but if they are asked to spend some money for their king, few people would be willing to do so.

However, his number of black fans has increased a lot.

"You're talking nonsense. It's impossible for our emperor to score less than 10 points even with one hand!"

"Open your dog eyes and watch carefully. My emperor just didn't feel good in the first two games. He will definitely score 30+ tonight!"

"You are the number one hater, the guy who hates for the sake of hating, get ready to pay for Kanye!"

……

Nike is still powerful because the old James fans no longer contribute to the black fans value, which means that even though James was criticized so badly this season, there are still a considerable number of new James fans after a season.

Han Sen put down his phone; the game had already started.

Wade started with a 2+1, and then Bosh also scored a mid-range shot from the high post.

The Heat started this game better than the previous two games.

In addition to Wade's still hot form, Bosh has also regained his form.

On the other hand, for the Mavericks, Nowitzki still had a bad start, and Kidd's three-point shooting was not good either.

The Mavericks had a bit of a meltdown at the start.

However, all this changed after Carlisle made substitutions and replaced Terry early.

The Mavericks' screen quality was very high, and Terry's off-ball movement was fast, so he made a three-pointer as soon as he came on the court.

And more importantly, his off-ball movement will tie up a lot of the Heat's defense and create opportunities for the Mavericks to cut to the basket.

The Mavericks stabilized the situation on the court as Nowitzki and Marion each scored a layup.

However, the Heat relied on the advantage they had established earlier and still took the lead entering the substitute transition period.

However, it was during this period that the Mavericks not only reversed the score, but also widened the gap.

O'Neal exploded!

O'Neal's performance was limited in the first two games of the finals, but in Game 3, he finally found his feeling.

He crushed Joel Anthony in the low post and scored consecutive singles.

When Spoelstra used the Hack-a-Shaq tactic again, O'Neal immediately made two free throws.

His desire for a fifth championship ring was fully reflected in tonight's game.

"Where is LeBron?" Rondo asked a soul-stirring question at this time.

Shortly after he asked the question, James showed up.

The Heat continued to hack the shark, and the one who fouled was James.

It turns out James is on the court!

This is the difference between live broadcast and watching the game in person.

You can observe a specific person's performance on site, but in a live broadcast, you can only follow the live screen.

Now Rondo was even more confused.

In the starting lineup, Wade and Bosh were in excellent form, so it was understandable that James didn't attack much.

However, the transition period from the bench is the time period that James is best at, or it can be said that this is also the purpose of Spoelstra putting James on the court.

It turns out that James is almost invisible.

"That's why I think the Mavericks can win," Hansen said with a smile.

"Why?" Rondo was still puzzled.

“If you are Nike’s top brand, and you win as the second-in-command, how should Nike promote you?”

Han Sen's question stunned Rondo.

He really couldn't imagine that scene.

But the sense of disobedience was very strong.

Imagine if Pippen was Nike's top player, and then Jordan led the dynasty...

At that time, it was not a question of winning the championship or not, but a question of Nike's status.

Besides, it is impossible for Nike to just change its top brand, after all, the endorsement contract is signed there.

So a seemingly incredible but reasonable scenario emerged: I don’t want a championship that is not the FMVP.

This feeling is exactly the same as Hansen felt when he negotiated with Ferry. The Chosen Son is the shackle around James' neck.

He seems to be high and mighty, but in fact, every step he takes is not up to him.

This is the inevitable result of being pushed into that position without any ability.

"Could it be our conspiracy theory?" Although Rondo understood, he still felt it was unbelievable for a professional player to do this.

"Then look again."

The two continued to focus on the game.

However, the more he watched, the more Rondo felt that what Han Sen said was true.

Because the game went into the fourth quarter, James only took 8 shots and scored 6 points...

This obviously cannot be explained by common sense.

In the regular season, the Grizzlies and the Heat faced off. Wasn't James in a bad shape?
But he was still able to score double-digit points, because it is relatively easy to score points by traveling during off-peak hours.

But now the question for James on the court is not whether he can score or not, but that he has no idea what to do most of the time. When he gets the ball, he either passes it to Wade or breaks through and passes it out. His offensive desire is shockingly low.

The Heat eventually lost the game 83-89.

Nowitzki played worse tonight than in the previous game, scoring only 19 points on 8 of 24 shots. Terry scored 17 points, Marion scored 16 points, and O'Neal scored 13 points.

韦德空砍32分，波什空砍24分，詹姆斯11投3中拿到8分。

Although the background was slightly different from what Han Sen knew, the release of eight points of military power was finally coming!

Well, at this time, all the new and old James fans on social media disappeared.

"If LeBron gets the same score as in the last game, the Heat will win." Rondo reluctantly took out $500.

Han Sen accepted it with a smile, then shook the money in his hand:

"I'll treat you to a good meal later."

Rondo's mouth twitched. Even though he accepted the loss and the money had already gone to Hansen, it still felt weird.

Blame it on James!

"LeBron really doesn't want to win?" Rondo couldn't help but ask as he stood up.

"Of course he wants to win, and he also wants to win the FMVP! How about we make another bet? I bet LeBron will take more shots than DW in the next game."

"Forget it, I'd better save some money." Rondo's mouth twitched. Han Sen laughed and patted him on the shoulder.

You see, understanding James is actually very simple!

While they were on their way to dinner, Kanye West transferred half a million dollars to them.

Hansen directly sent the money along with the social media screenshots to Swift.

This wave can be regarded as West paying a little interest for the microphone snatching incident that year.

The G3 game is over, but the fun is not over yet.

Because after Game 3, everyone on the Heat team was unsurprisingly making excuses for James.

Wade said James was just in bad shape, Riley said James injured his right hand after Game 1 and had been playing with the injury, and Spoelstra said there was something wrong with my strategic arrangement.

Considering the previous [video-gate] incident, this reaction is really damn reasonable.

As for James?
James disappeared at this moment and did not even attend the press conference.

But a day later, he posted a personal status on social media:
“It’s now or never.”

This tweet is very easy to understand. To put it simply, James is expressing his determination: if he fails, he will die.

Then, Rondo really saved money.

Wade was still the Heat's highest scoring player, but he only took 12 shots and scored 23 points.

Bosh also took 12 shots and scored 19 points.

James took 19 shots and got a triple-double of 17 points, 10 rebounds and 10 assists...

This made Han Sen laugh.

To be honest, he knew those famous memes back then, but it was impossible for him to remember the details of the stadium so clearly.

What he said to Rondo was just casual talk.

In the end, he guessed everything right.

Although this peach smells very fragrant, James can't pick it at all. You know, he doesn't have the ability to do so!
But if you think about it, you will know that Wade is almost playing at the level of 2006, and the Heat can only barely tie with the Mavericks.

Even though Nowitzki is injured, the Mavericks are much stronger than what the media analyzes.

103:115.

The Heat lost cleanly.

Han Sen also knew that this year's finals were over.

Two days later, James finally became the Heat's leading scorer, scoring a team-high 21 points.

The Heat lost to the Mavericks again with a score of 95-108, and were swept by the Mavericks with a score of 1-4.

There was no big suspense in this game, but there was a scene that made Han Sen spit out his food.

James back-down.

But unlike what he imagined, the person defending his back-to-the-basket attack was not Barea, but West.

But the same thing is that James didn't move...

But unlike Barea's defensive style, West uses more techniques.

As James' former teammate, he is too familiar with James' technical characteristics.

But this scene can only be described by the four words that James haters commented on on social media: Fatherly love is like a mountain.

Nowitzki picked up the championship trophy in front of the camera. He was very restrained and didn't cry, but his eyes were red.

This was the Mavericks' first championship in 40 years, but more importantly, he got his revenge.

Many people know that Wade led the Heat to win the championship in 2006, but many people forget that they also defeated the Mavericks.

Leading 2-0, and then being overturned 2-4, that was the lowest point in Nowitzki's career.

He tried hard every year after that, but was blocked from the finals by the wild West every year.

This time he came back again and defeated the opponent who once defeated him with his own hands.

This doesn't feel like a fairy tale, it is a fairy tale at all.

The one who cried the most was West.

For him, this is not just a fairy tale, but also a kind of redemption.

He completed his self-redemption.

When someone cries, someone else will laugh.

The one who laughed the happiest at this time was O'Neal.

If you handed him a cell phone right now, he would definitely dial Kobe's number first.

“Now I have 5 too!”

When seeing this, Han Sen suddenly felt that Kobe would be very scary next season.

But there is someone who is happier than O'Neal, and that is naturally the team owner Cuban.

He paid luxury tax every year but never won a championship. When he was about to give up, he finally won a championship.

This is really Han Sen from Barry University. Even if you try hard to plant flowers but they don’t bloom, you will always find a new hope when the dark clouds appear.

The championship trophy was passed from one Mavericks player to another, and the players looked at the familiar faces in the camera.

Even though they were former rivals, Han Sen couldn't help but applaud them.

In the "history" he knows, this champion is the most recognized champion by fans, and now he will only be more recognized.

Because he is really full of stories.

It's not just Cuban, it's not just Nowitzki, it's not just O'Neal and West.

Kidd, the legendary point guard in history, didn't win his first championship until he was 38 years old.

The same goes for Marion, one of the three musketeers of the Suns' running and gunning team back then, who finally realized his dream.

And there is Chandler, the most underestimated inside player and former No. 2 pick, who has finally lived up to his worth.

And Peja, Terry, Barea...

Even Carlisle.

Carlisle didn't become famous until he joined the Mavericks.

This famous coach led the Pistons to 50 wins in his first year with the team, and then was picked by Larry Brown.

He then joined the Pacers and led the team to 61 wins in his first season, but encountered the Palace of Auburn Hills incident in the second year.

He is capable, but always unlucky.

Then in three years in Dallas, he finally proved himself.

This is a completely respectable opponent.

After watching the award ceremony, Han Sen became extremely motivated.

After all, no matter how much you recognize others, it never feels better than standing on the podium yourself.

He failed in the Western Conference Finals this season, but he must break out of the West next season!

He arrived at the training hall overnight.

But before he could start training, his cell phone rang.

It was West calling.

O'Neal should be very busy at the moment, but West contacted Hansen as soon as possible.

He came to express his gratitude, of course. If it weren't for Han Sen's original suggestion, he would be worrying about his contract for next season.

"Don't thank me, you should thank yourself. It was your own choice to go to Dallas."

Hansen was right, he just suggested that West could buy out, but the Mavericks were West's own choice.

"What are your plans next?" Han Sen asked with concern.

Because the Big Z clause is for one year instead of one season, West still cannot return to the Grizzlies.

"I was ready to stay and they were ready to renew my contract."

"That's a good thing." Hansen was really happy for West.

Because in his memory, when West was wandering the streets, it was Cuban who helped him.

Staying with the Mavericks is indeed the best choice for him.

"Not only me, but Tyson and Jason, even Shaq are ready to stay, and we are ready to go again."

But West's next words stunned Hansen.

How is this different from what he knew?
-Dividing line-

①: Williams won the championship with the Heat as the main point guard in 2006. He announced his retirement in 2008, but returned to the Magic in 2009 after a season.
