Basketball's No. 1 Anti-Fan

Chapter 194: Champions Night
"hypocritical."

Durant was also watching the championship award ceremony in his mansion at this time. After hearing Hansen's acceptance speech, he couldn't help but complain.

After complaining, he reached out and took a bag of instant noodles, crushed it, opened it, poured the seasoning packet in, and shook it.

After the fmvp finished his speech, the championship award ceremony was over, but the live broadcast was not over yet.

At this time, the players of the championship Grizzlies team had already started chatting and taking photos with their families.

Durant opened the lid again, took a look, picked out the largest piece and put it in his mouth.

But just as he turned his gaze back to the TV, he opened his mouth but didn't bite.

……

Han Sen still held the trophy in his hand, and Swift and Scarlett walked towards him together.

To be honest, if this scene happened in the country right now, it would definitely be called Shura Field.

But in the United States, it even seems a little warm.

Swift came up and hugged him. She came mainly to congratulate him and to show concern for his foot injury.

Then Scarlett took his arm.

This move was somewhat unexpected to Han Sen, as their current relationship was relatively private.

Swift joined him.

At this time, the reporters' cameras and even the live broadcast cameras were all aimed at Han Sen.

Swift and Scarlett smiled and posed for the camera, and Hansen tried his best to cooperate.

Or maybe she felt it wasn't enough, so Scarlett finally put Hansen's hand directly on the side of her chest.

……

"Crack!"

Durant bit the instant noodles in his mouth hard, and his teeth clenched clenched as well.

Han Sen really slept with the goddess in his heart!

He regarded Han Sen's previous remarks about the hotel being too tiring as just trash talk.

But Scarlett's actions completely shattered his last fantasy.

Thinking about the bath water Han Sen mentioned, he suddenly felt nauseous.

Because the bath water was mixed with Han Sen's stuff!

Damn it, it’s so damn damn!
The instant noodles in his mouth no longer tasted good, so he turned off the TV, got up and went straight to the training hall.

Next season, he must let Han Sen know how powerful he is!
……

"I'll wait for you in the parking lot when you're done." Scarlett whispered into Hansen's ear after the camera turned away.

Han Sen moved his feet upon hearing this, indicating that he was injured.

Although he doesn't have to go for a check-up right now, tonight's game has proved that playing with an injury does not affect his shooting, but it does affect his breakthroughs.

"You don't need to move." Scarlett said ambiguously.

Han Sen...what else can he say?

After returning to the locker room from the stadium, Hansen and his teammates celebrated again.

Hansen also said that when he returns to Memphis, he will take the whole team to a nightclub to have fun.

As for the Night of Champions, everyone has something to keep busy with.

After Han Sen finally had some free time, he took out his cell phone, which already had many missed calls and text messages.

He first called his parents back, and then began to read the text messages one by one.

Barry University alumni, Cavaliers teammates, and Kobe all sent him congratulatory text messages.

Of course, in addition to congratulations, there were also many people who asked about his injury, such as Yao Ming.

Yao Ming left the NBA early due to injury, so he will pay more attention to this than others.

He picked out some important responses.

It was during this process that he saw a special text message sent to him by Jamison.

“Is there a place for me in Memphis?”

He forgot that the contract Jamison signed with the Wizards would expire at the end of this season.

Jamison seems to be joking, but he actually wants to curry favor with someone.

This is also normal. The 36-year-old Jamison cannot be said to be about to retire, but he has reached the end of his career.

At this stage, for him who has no championship in his career, the only thing that can attract him is the championship.

Moreover, the Grizzlies are different from the Mavericks. Their core lineups are very young, so they have a great chance of defending their title.

Of course, this cannot be said to be pure clinging, after all, the Lakers and Thunder in the Western Conference are still strong.

Next season, it will be the Grizzlies' turn to face the problems that the defending champions have to deal with.

"I'll prepare a set of fishing gear for you in advance."

After Han Sen replied to the message, he thought of the new fishing tackle O'Neill gave him.

At this time, Tois came over and invited him to attend the post-match press conference. He went to the locker room to get his fishing gear and followed him.

The atmosphere at the press conference was a little dull.

The Heat's press conference has ended because without James, reporters did not get the news material that satisfied them.

So when Han Sen came in, the entire press conference became lively.

Now they are all pointing their fingers at Han Sen.

As soon as Han Sen sat down, reporters couldn't wait to ask him questions.

And it’s all about James right from the start.

"According to the latest news, LeBron was diagnosed with a moderate concussion. Do you have anything to say about this?" asked a reporter from ESPN.

Concussions are actually not uncommon in the NBA. Even in the new labor agreement, a concussion protection mechanism has been added, which was only implemented this season: after being diagnosed with a concussion, players must pass a series of tests to confirm that they do not have a concussion before returning to the game.

Concussions are divided into mild, moderate and severe according to their severity. Generally, most NBA players suffer from mild concussions.

If it is severe, the sequelae may even threaten the player's career. For example, Dellavedova retired because of a severe concussion.

So although James' condition is not the most serious one, it is not light at all.

"That's really unfortunate news." Han Sen sighed. Why wasn't it severe?

"If necessary, I will go to the hospital to visit him, bringing the gift I promised to give him."

After saying that, he took the fishing gear directly from bottom and put it on the table with a "pa".

Sympathy?
Han Sen is not yet at the point where he has no sympathy.

It’s better to sympathize with the homeless person on the street than to sympathize with the person who almost ruined his career!
This moment caused the reporters in the audience to become restless; this news material really came out of nowhere.

"Do you have anything to say after winning the first championship in your career?" This is a reporter from TNT.

This question is somewhat similar to the questions asked by reporters at the previous award ceremony, so this is not surprising.

However, Han Sen's mood at this moment is different from when he just won the championship, so what he wants to say will also be different.

"My first game at American Airlines Arena was four years ago when I played for Barry University against North Carolina. I always remember the score, 41 to 96. We lost by 55 points."

Han Sen's first words caused a stir in the audience. Few people would take the initiative to mention their own dark history.

“What I want to say is that in our lives, success is only temporary, and failure is the main theme. However, how we face failure will divide people into different types. Some people will choose to escape after failure, but some people can get up and move forward again.

The failures in the past kept me going. Three years ago, I won the NCAA Division II championship here. Last year’s failure kept us going, and now we are the final NBA champions.”

Before Han Sen finished speaking, the audience began to applaud. After James' classic "life is not what it seems" last season, Han Sen's words seemed even more precious.

In other words, this is what makes competitive sports attractive.

"How many championships do you plan to bring to Memphis?" asked a reporter from NBC.

"not7?" Han Sen's joke drew laughter from the audience.

James' words at the time have become particularly ironic now, because the Heat are about to face the situation of breaking up, and that is indeed not7, because it is directly 0.

"I haven't had time to think about that yet. Maybe I'll know when the championship celebration comes."

After the press conference, Hansen returned to the locker room and saw Allen was still there.

He also went and sat next to Alan.

"Have you decided where to go? Or have you decided to stay?" Allen is actually very important to the Grizzlies. Whether it is against the Lakers, Thunder or Heat, his role is highlighted in the playoffs.

"I want to go to Indiana." Allen gave his answer.

Pacers?
Han Sen stroked his chin.

The Pacers are a defensive team, and Granger is so seriously injured that there is a vacancy in the main position.

It suits Allen quite well.

He patted Allen on the shoulder. He had promised Allen that he would help.

After talking with Allen, Hansen went to the underground garage and left with Scarlett.

The champion halo is a relatively illusory thing, but like many special professional bonuses, it can greatly enhance people's desires.

That night, Han Sen really didn't have to move a thing just as Scarlett had said, whether he was standing, kneeling or lying down, because Scarlett was fully automatic.

How should I describe that feeling? Han Sen felt that being an emperor was just like this.

While Hansen was driving his automatic, James fans were bombarding him and the Grizzlies on social media.

But it's not just James fans. Hansen's number of fans has skyrocketed after winning the championship. The intensity of the confrontation between the two sides on social media is no less than that between Hansen and Scarlett in the hotel.

"Using role players to replace the opponent's main force, using role players to commit fouls to beat the opponent's main force, is there any team in the league more dirty than the Grizzlies?"

(James is not dirty, he just stepped on me to win, what's wrong with him!)
"Han is a clown. The Grizzlies won because they are a Big Five team. They are stronger but they still used tricks. It's not glorious to win at all!"

(I think the Grizzlies are the Big 15. After all, Han Sen said that the Grizzlies have MVPs!)
"If Han and LeBron were to switch positions, the Grizzlies would still win. It's simply because their playing styles are incompatible!"

(I don’t know if the Grizzlies will still be the champions, but I know the Heat can have more All-Star centers, after all, Hansen is still a rookie)

……

The next day, the league announced a penalty notice that James Johnson was suspended for 30 games for punching James.

This suspension penalty also set a record for the longest suspension for a conflict between players, and is clearly a very severe punishment.

In comparison, the last person to be suspended for causing serious consequences was Kermit Washington.

In 1977, he was suspended for 26 games for punching Tomjanovich's brains out.

In addition, the league has more suspended games than this, either due to conflicts with fans, players choking the head coach, carrying guns, or taking banned drugs.

However, this punishment was also expected. After all, this approach of directly defeating the opponent's core players is absolutely not recommended.

Otherwise, there is really no need to play basketball in the NBA in the future. We can just arrange people to defeat the opponent's core players.

Moreover, the most valuable players in the NBA are these stars. Without them, the overall ratings will inevitably drop.

Han Sen posted on social media immediately after seeing the results.

"So there's no penalty for LeBron tripping Granger?"

Han Sen did not have an opinion on the punishment result, but on the double standards. After all, although the methods were different, James also destroyed the core of the opposing team.

Is it because of the different influence that the alliance’s attitude is completely different?

Hansen then called Johnson and told him that he would pay for his suspension and give him a Ferrari.

Of course this is on the surface. In fact, Hansen is already prepared to treat Johnson as his own "Oakley".

Because Johnson was shooting for him, this friendship went beyond a relationship of colleagues on the court.

That afternoon, Hansen returned to Memphis.

He first went to the hospital for a check-up with the team doctor.

The results of the examination showed that he suffered a third-degree ankle sprain.

Ankle sprains are divided into three types: mild, moderate and severe, and the more professional terms are grades one, two and three.

In the 2000 Finals, Kobe also suffered a grade ankle sprain.

According to the doctor, Han Sen originally suffered a second-degree sprain, but because he was forced to fight with the injury, it turned into a third-degree sprain.

However, a sprain is not a tear. Even if it is grade three, it can be cured mainly by nursing, but it requires some weight-bearing for recovery.

To put it simply, Han Sen needs a month to recover.

This will definitely have an impact on Han Sen's summer plans.

But judging from the results, it was still worth it. After all, it was equivalent to spending more than a month to sweep the Heat and win the championship.

Shortly after he returned from the hospital, Thomas came to see him.

It's about the Olympics.

The Basketball Association hopes that Han Sen will be able to participate in this year's Summer Olympics.

Speaking of which, Han Sen did plan to attend before.

Compared with other national basketball events, the significance of the Olympics is different after all.

Especially when he saw the enthusiasm of the fans during his last trip to Tokyo, he decided to go play for the fans as well.

But plans cannot keep up with changes, and he did not expect that he would be injured, and the time was just before the Olympics.

As it stands now, he has absolutely no time to integrate with the team and cannot participate.

"How do I respond to them?" Thomas asked before leaving.

"Henry, have they asked about my injuries?" Han Sen suddenly remembered something.

Thomas shook his head.

Han Sen sneered at this and said directly, "Just say I don't want to go."

That night, despite having a cast on his foot, Hansen took the Grizzlies players to the 1927 Madison Ave nightclub.

The interior decoration of the nightclub is more New York than its name suggests, and it is quite luxurious and high-end.

It's worthy of being a place that can keep Harden until four in the morning.

Throwing money, doing the armor-removing dance, playing ball in the box, the players had a great time because all the expenses were paid by Mr. Han.

Because Han Sen was in a plaster cast and had just been drained by Scarlett, he could only feast his eyes.

While he was admiring it, Rondo came over to him and asked him to read the latest news.

He picked up the phone, and when he saw the content, he couldn't help but show an amused expression.

It's a news related to Cavaliers owner Gilbert.

The Grizzlies won the championship, Hansen won the FMVP, and in addition to the Heat being injured, the Cavaliers also won.

The Cavaliers fans are once again lashing out at the management, and the pressure is greater than in the past few times.

Under tremendous pressure, Gilbert spoke out and revealed the secret about the trade with Hansen that he had been hiding.

"The reason why I agreed to trade Han at that time was because after communicating with LeBron on the phone, I got a verbal commitment from LeBron to stay with the team."
