Basketball's No. 1 Anti-Fan

Chapter 18: The Nightmare of an Elementary School Student
The chatting on the sidelines continued, and the one-on-one matches on the field also continued.

Curry still attacks first.

The assistant coach passed the ball to Curry, and Hansen headed it forward directly.

Seeing this, Curry changed direction and broke through.

His first step is quick and has a lot of range.

After bringing Hansen to the breakthrough side, he suddenly changed direction and pulled back to the three-point line.

Among the six people who tried out, Hansen was the only one who had a record of playing against Curry.

Han Sen knew very well how strong his defense was.

But just as he was about to make a move, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.

Because Han Sen was not escaped as he expected!
This was beyond Curry's expectations, but fortunately he was calm enough and made a fake shot.

But Han Sen still didn't take the bait!
And this fake dribble directly caused Curry to lose the ball.

Because it was a one-step shot, Curry lacked the ability to force a shot, so he was forced to use a turn-around step to force a shot.

But at the moment he made his move, Han Sen had already seen the angle and reached out his hand...

"Snapped!"

He slapped his shot and sent it flying out of the field!

The ball came up clear and crisp, and the communication between Jordan and Bickerstaff came to an abrupt end, with everyone on the sidelines looking toward the court.

What happened just now?
"He blocked Steph," Larry Brown began slowly.

Brown's attention was drawn to Hansen as he followed Curry's first step in the breakthrough.

As a defensive master, he is not very interested in offensive matters, but he is very sensitive to defense.

Han Sen's reaction speed and lateral movement speed are fast enough, which shows his potential to be an excellent defender.

Han Sen's next reaction surprised him even more.

Curry's fake moves are very realistic, and there is indeed a threat to his shooting. He is the type that will shoot directly if you don't put pressure on him.

However, Han Sen not only did not take the dodge, but also stretched out his arms, using his size advantage to block Curry's shooting angle.

From this, he was able to determine that Hansen did not have the potential to be a good defender, but was already a good defender.

As for blocking Curry after a dead ball, that was just icing on the cake.

Brown said it calmly, but it shocked others, especially people like Bickerstaff who had seen Curry perform.

They subconsciously turned their eyes to Han Sen, a second-tier league player who was somewhat unfamiliar to them.

"Maybe, it's just luck?" Bickerstaff asked tentatively.

Curry is the focus of their tryout today, and Dell Curry is standing next to him, so he has to give him face.

Brown smiled but said nothing.

On the court, the ball was exchanged.

After receiving the ball, Hansen made a three-man threat and also chose to break through on the right side.

Curry's defense was also very forward, he knew that three-pointers were also Hansen's main offensive method.

But his judgment was wrong again.

Han Sen did not step back, but used his body to force him away, strode into the inside, and jumped up to finish with a two-handed slam dunk.

Rookie Curry's defense is obviously not strong, especially in confrontations. His weight of 84 kilograms puts him at an absolute disadvantage even when facing players in the same position.

This is also the reason why when he was one-on-one with Henderson, even though he only failed in one round of attack, he still allowed Henderson to score 6 goals.

5:0.

The ball was not exchanged until Hansen missed the sixth shot.

It was at this time that everyone on the sidelines looked towards the field again.

In Bickerstaff's report, Curry's offense was A+ and his defense was B-, so it's nothing new that Curry is not good at defense.

But how did Hansen, who was at defense B, defend against Curry, who was at offense A+? This was something everyone was curious about.

Curry received the ball, but this time he did not rush to attack. Instead, he made a three-threat move, swung left and right, glanced at the basket, then changed direction to the left and accelerated to break through.

The left and right swings are to lure Hansen to steal the ball, and looking at the frame is a deceptive shot. Curry's offensive details are fully utilized.

But Han Sen just wouldn't take the bait.

Larry Brown reached out and touched his chin. He saw that Han Sen also had a handsome face.

Hansen is a junior this year and is not even 21 years old. He is not even considered an old rookie, but his defensive experience is very unusual.

Furthermore, according to the rookie report they received, Hansen was not known for his defense.

On the court, Curry had already used up three dribbles in his breakthrough, and finally chose to make a quick stop and layup.

This sudden stop was beautiful, but it still failed to completely get rid of Han Sen.

Under the defensive pressure of Han Sen, he was forced to shoot early, and the ball hit the side of the basket and went out of the basket.

Bickerstaff and the others saw clearly that Curry could not have suddenly lost his offensive level. The only explanation was that Hansen had made a serious mistake in his assessment of his defensive ability.

This is not impossible. After all, Hansen is from the second-tier league and the scouts have not really examined him carefully.

And compared with Henderson and Danny Green, Hansen's defensive ability is more intuitive.

Bickerstaff crossed out the B in Hansen's defensive assessment and wrote an A in its place.

However, after finishing writing, he pondered for a moment and added a "+" sign after A.

11:3.

Hansen eventually defeated Curry, ending Curry's four-game winning streak.

After that, he started his winning streak.

11比9亨德森、11比3格林、11比5布朗、11比0赛斯·库里。

Then, 11 to 9 Curry, 8 to 11 Henderson.

Hansen's way of winning consecutive championships is different from Curry's. He relies more on defense to suppress his opponents, and then fights a war of attrition by gaining enough offensive possessions.

Especially the two one-on-one games with Henderson, the number of rounds was over 30+.

So by the end of the fight, his physical strength had clearly reached its limit.

But this was already amazing enough because Han Sen completed 6 consecutive hits!
He was just a second-tier player.

Jordan turned and said something to Bickerstaff.

Bickerstaff turned to look at Jordan with a surprised look in his eyes, but when he saw Jordan nodded, he didn't know what to say.

Han Sen went off the court to rest and was not called back on the court again.

It seems that the assessment of him in this stage has ended.

After one-on-one, it was followed by two-on-two and three-on-three.

The person who performed best in these two aspects was Curry, and his performance in team cooperation was very dazzling.

Hansen's performance was not as good as Curry and Henderson, but it was obviously better than the other three.

The Bobcats did not arrange a full-court confrontation, so after the three-on-three ended, Hansen's first stop of the tryout officially ended.

Shortly after the tryout, Bickerstaff approached him for a chat.

From talking about daily training, career planning, to the city of Charlotte, Hansen could feel between the lines that the Bobcats had ideas about him.

This means that he has a chance to get the No. 40 pick from the Bobcats.

60 and 40, these are two completely different rankings.

The former has a very small chance of being selected and signed, but the latter has a very high chance of being selected.

"There's one more thing." At this moment, Bickerstaff suddenly spoke again, and his eyes looked towards the other half of the court.

Following his gaze, Han Sen realized that Jordan had not left yet.

Not only did he not leave, but he also changed into a training suit at some point and was shooting at half court.

Han Sen looked at it for a while and felt it was a bit outrageous.

Because Jordan never missed a shot, and his entire movement was smooth and silky.

Aside from jumping lower, he looked pretty much the same as in the highlights.

"By the way, what are you talking about?" Han Sen looked for a while and came back to his senses. Then he remembered that he was still chatting with Bickerstaff.

"Michael said he wanted to play one-on-one with you."

"Who?" Han Sen thought he had heard wrongly.

Just then, Jordan noticed that they had finished, stopped what he was doing, and waved in their direction.

Han Sen now realized that Jordan was really looking for him one-on-one.

"Don't be too surprised. Michael used to fight with other players on the team occasionally." Bickerstaff explained while motioning him over.

Hearing this, Han Sen suddenly remembered that there seemed to be such a rumor.

It was said that the Bobcats had a bad record, and the 50-year-old Jordan was so angry that he abused all the Bobcats guards.

Han Sen walked over, and Jordan didn't say anything. He just gestured for Han Sen to go in for a one-on-one match.

The other people in the stadium were already preparing to leave, but after seeing this scene, they all came over at the same time.

This surprised Han Sen. Jordan didn't even clear the field. Was he really not afraid of losing face if he lost?
"I have a question." Han Sen was not in a hurry to go on stage.

"You ask." Jordan gestured to Hansen.

"Who am I going to play against next, Mr. Jordan, the owner of the Bobcats, or Michael Jordan, the retired basketball player?"

Bickerstaff was stunned for a moment, and he remembered that he should have told Hansen something just now.

Jordan looked at Han Sen carefully after hearing this, and then laughed: "Basketball player."

"I'm fine now." Han Sen said as he simply moved his joints and walked onto the stage.
