Basketball's No. 1 Anti-Fan

Chapter 195 "My goal is a dynasty"

This is undoubtedly a bolt of thunder.

However, because there was no recording of the phone call, Gilbert's revelations were questioned by many James fans.

After all, the open letter had already caused a rift between Gilbert and James.

Now, in their view, this operation is nothing more than Gilbert taking advantage of James' failure.

But for Cavaliers fans, they would rather believe that what Gilbert said is true.

Because only in this way can we explain the seemingly unreasonable behavior at the time.

Han Sen also felt that this should be true. This explained why Ferry pointed at it and hinted at it, because he would not know about such things.

And if it wasn't true, Gilbert wouldn't have been so excited and disregarded his image, and directly wrote an open letter to scold James as a traitor.

As for James, let alone going back on his verbal promise, haven't he said enough self-contradictory things?

Han Sen had fun with his teammates in a nightclub, but his decision not to participate in the Olympics caused great controversy in the country.

The Basketball Association even took the opportunity to mobilize domestic media to put pressure on Han Sen.

If we don't participate in the Olympics, the moral pressure will be enormous.

Even though he led his team to win the NBA championship, he still gained a lot of black fans.

The next day, an unexpected visitor came to visit Han Sen.

It is Yao Ming who has retired and is now the full-time owner of the Shanghai team.

Yao Ming came to check on his injury and brought him a business card from a domestic surgical expert who had helped him recover.

Han Sen was grateful for Yao Ming's concern. After all, he and Yao Ming had no previous interactions.

Secondly, he also came to persuade Han Sen.

"Playing with an injury could ruin your career. You're right not to go to this Olympics. Don't go just because they put pressure on you."

Yao Ming's persuasion was beyond Han Sen's expectations.

Because he knows very well how much Yao Ming loves the national basketball team.

When he was a player, he was still willing to return to participate in the Olympics even with nails inserted in his body. After retiring, he knew that the Basketball Association was a fire pit but he still jumped into it.

He originally thought that Yao Ming came to persuade him to participate in the Olympics, but he didn't expect the opposite to happen.

But if you think about it carefully, this makes sense.

Because Hansen is now the only hope for East University basketball.

If his career is affected because of playing with injuries like Yao Ming did in the past, it would be a lose-lose situation.

Because I have been caught in the rain, I want to hold an umbrella for others.

After the 08 Olympics, Yao Ming only played one full season in the NBA, which was closely related to his comeback in 08.

After Yao Ming left, Han Sen had a new understanding of this legend of Dongfang national basketball.

The Olympics was just a small episode. The Grizzlies were preparing for the championship parade these past two days, and Han Sen also took out the Black Fan System to study his next talent to redeem.

After this year's playoffs, the biggest inspiration to him was the series with the Lakers.

The first is footwork, the second is the turning and fadeaway technique, and the third is the post-up singles technique.

These three are not completely independent, or can be simply summarized as hard decoding capabilities.

After all, no matter how strong your breakthrough ability is or how accurate your shooting is, you still need this kind of hard-breaking ability when facing double-teaming.

Of course, this is not something that can be achieved overnight.

Han Sen's plan was to go to Olajuwon after his injury healed.

It's not because Kobe has learned something, but because James was able to create something from nothing and then use it as his main offensive method, which shows that Olajuwon must have something.

Then, what he is doing now is preparing to exchange for a hard solution talent.

After weighing the pros and cons, he decided to redeem the talent related to the turning and fadeaway technique first.

There are mainly two reasons for this.

On the one hand, the Grizzlies now have a twin-tower lineup, so he doesn't have many opportunities to post up.

But the turnaround and fade away is different, because not only can it be used to break through a double-team, but it can also be combined with footwork, break through, stop suddenly, and then turn around and fade away.

On the other hand, he already has some of the talents required for the turn-around and fade-away technique, such as waist and abdominal strength, jumping ability, shooting touch, etc.

If he redeems this kind of talent, he can raise it to the bottleneck in a shorter period of time.

The reason for considering this is that last season was a shortened season, this summer is shorter than usual, and he is now injured, so he has even less training time.

And another point is that the turning and fading technique can be said to be one of the finishing methods needed for post-up singles, so it can also be regarded as a prerequisite talent.

But his current number of black fans is still a bit low.

After the team swept the Heat in the finals, James' fans criticized him. After he did not participate in the Olympics, some moral fans in China criticized him. Adding the accumulated black fans before, he now has more than 90 black fans, but that is not enough.

Now that his influence has increased, it is easier for him to earn black fans. Unless it is extremely urgent, he will not consider the second-tier talent if he has the opportunity to exchange for the first-tier talent.

Moreover, he had already prepared a big one.

A few days later, the Grizzlies held a grand championship parade in Memphis, and TNT broadcast the entire event live.

Memphis was packed with people.

Although the Grizzlies' basketball market is small, the city is big and the market potential is still good.

Although due to the team's style and city location, it cannot achieve the same market expansion effect as the Warriors in "history", it is still much better than the Spurs.

This is closely related to the urban structure of Memphis, where a high proportion of black people reside.

The proportion of black people in the NBA now reaches 70 to 80 percent, and basketball has become one of the ways for black people to change their destiny, so it is also very popular among black people.

Of course, this kind of urban structure also has its disadvantages. During the championship parade, a shooting occurred a few blocks away from the parade, causing many injuries and riots.

This was very Memphis, and thankfully the riot was quickly quelled and did not affect the parade.

Upon arriving at the stage at the FedEx Center, Joerger served as the on-site host and gave a championship speech.

Basically, it talks about the difficulties the team encountered in the past season and the contribution of each member of the team.

This kind of thing comes easily to Joerger.

Hansen and Guy sat on high stools on the side of the stage, swinging their plastered right legs and interacting with Jorgel from time to time.

This should be the most comfortable moment for him after winning the championship, very happy but also very calm.

After Joerger's speech, it was time to interview the fans at the scene.

The first person to be asked the question was James Johnson.

Johnson knocked out James with one punch, and because it happened so quickly, the entire process was broadcast live, and that part was even edited and spread by netizens.

The nature of human beings is to repeat and eat melons. This kind of video is not only loved by football fans, but has now gone viral on social media.

All the facts about him, including his family background of martial arts and his success in winning martial arts championships at the age of six, were dug up. This is really the case: No one cares about playing for ten years, but one punch will KO everyone.

Naturally, the fans asked questions related to that video.

Johnson did not attend the press conference, which should be the first time the outside world knows his thoughts.

Johnson took the microphone and cheers broke out before he even opened his mouth.

"When I was very young, my father told me that no matter what venue, when your opponent does not follow the rules, you must make him pay the price, otherwise he will only go further. Of course, I know I am on the court, not in the ring, so I reserved some strength."

This is probably the longest speech Johnson has said since arriving in Memphis. It's very sincere, and since he has been suspended now, he has nothing to worry about.

Before he finished speaking, a deafening cheer broke out at the scene.

What does it mean to hold back three points? Isn't this full strength going to turn James into the second Tomjanovich? !

After Johnson, fans asked questions one after another, and soon it was Hansen's turn.

Hansen has given a championship speech, a fmvp speech, and a press conference interview before. Questions related to him have actually been asked many times, but there is one question that fans are asking now, which is of concern to many people.

“How many championships are you going to bring to Memphis?”

This question was asked by reporters at the press conference on Champions Night, and Hansen pushed it to the Championship Celebration.

Now is the time he said.

Generally speaking, the most common words at this time are "Let's do it again."

The Grizzlies now have a complete lineup, so it is very likely to be accomplished.

"My goal is to build a dynasty for the team and win three consecutive championships."

This is what Hansen wanted to say when he first arrived in Memphis. Because Wallace asked him to keep a low profile, he changed his words to bring a championship to Memphis.

When Han Sen said this, cheers from the audience resounded through the sky.

This is definitely more exciting than what Hansen said at the beginning: "To bring the championship to the Grizzlies."

You have to know that apart from the ancient times, there are actually only two teams that can complete three consecutive championships: one is the Bulls, who were led by Jordan to complete it twice; the other is the Lakers in the OK period.

They are all absolutely powerful men of the time.

As for the Grizzlies, they were almost eliminated when facing the Lakers, and their defeat against the Heat was more due to the incompatibility of their lineups.

This doesn't sound realistic at all.

But this came from Han Sen's mouth. Since he could fulfill his "big talk" once, why couldn't he fulfill it a second time?
The fans in Memphis were cheering, but the audience watching the live broadcast was already going crazy.

"He is really talking nonsense. He wants to win three consecutive championships after winning one. Doesn't he know that even a strong player like Duncan didn't win three consecutive championships?"

"Just because I got lucky in my junior year and won a championship, I think I'm going to be so proud of myself? Jordan wasn't as crazy as him, and Bird wasn't as pretentious as him!"

"The Grizzlies are about to explode their salary cap, so he probably hasn't even thought about that, has he? He's just daydreaming!"

"Don't worry, if the Grizzlies can really defend their title, the league will impose rules against them. He doesn't understand how difficult it is to be a dynasty!"

"I think the Grizzlies will lose to the Lakers next season. This kind of floating mentality is bound to end in failure!"

……

Han Sen felt relieved when he saw the black fan value in the system soaring.

James fans have not yet updated their fan base, so the amount of black fans they can contribute is limited. He also had a good reputation in Tokyo University after winning the championship. This is the kind of person who really attracts black fans.

He even took out his cell phone to see how the haters were bashing him.

Well, it was basically within his expectations.

Of course he knew that a dynasty was not that easy. When playing against the Lakers, he could truly feel the problems that the dynasty encountered.

But he is here just for the black fans.

And to be honest, although the dynasty is difficult, it is obviously more realistic than not7.

Even if you don’t achieve it in the end, the process of hard work is more important than the result.

At least, after he said this, the Grizzlies players and fans had a clear and ambitious goal.

The Grizzlies' championship parade ended, and the 2011-2012 season was officially declared over.

But the 2012-2013 season began right after.

One thing that needs to be explained here is that although fans see that most NBA trades start from the draft, in fact that is not the starting point of the trade. In theory, it can be done as long as the previous season ends.

So even though the Grizzlies' championship parade has just ended, some very interesting news has already begun to be reported.

The focus is naturally Miami.

Miami local media Five Reasons reported an incident that happened to the Heat last season, after the end of the 2010-2011 season.

After the team lost the season, James went to Pat Riley's office and asked the team to fire Spoelstra and hoped that Riley could return to coach the team like he did in 2006.

Faced with James' request, Riley directly refused and looked very angry.

After James left, he called his assistant and asked him to inform everyone on the Heat team that he would go downstairs in 15 minutes and ask the players to stand in a row against the wall, including the team's Big Three.

Fifteen minutes later, Riley arrived downstairs on time and said something memorable to all the players who had their backs turned to him:

“You never came into my office and told me to fire a coach, your job is to play basketball, that’s the culture!”

This sounds like a good story, but what happened last season is tricky to report at this time.

You have to know that the Heat have been pretty quiet since being swept in the finals.

But there may be undercurrents beneath the calm surface, and in fact the silence after being swept out was unusual.

In a sense, this news is similar to Gilbert's exposure of the inside story of the Hansen transaction.

Riley finally chose to attack James.

This choice can be said to be unexpected but reasonable.

Although James is the younger and more influential of the Big Three, he is also the one with the greatest trading value.

Or from another perspective, trading Wade and Bosh cannot solve the Heat's current problems.

Because of his poor performance due to injuries, Bosh's current trading value is not high, and Wade is also starting to have injury risks. You can trade them, but it is difficult to exchange them for better players.

So if the Heat want to become stronger, they can only trade James.

Moreover, after the Heat failed for two consecutive years, James' trading value has loosened. If he continues to stay and fails for another year, not only will James' ability be questioned, but his trading value will also plummet because he will only have one year left on his guaranteed contract.

But at least for now, James is still the player with the highest trading value who can be traded throughout the league.

Therefore, Riley's operation can also be said to be a flat sell and a timely stop loss.

Of course, the most important point is that the Heat finals proved that one big team and four small teams cannot beat the Grizzlies. If the Grizzlies are regarded as an imaginary enemy, strengthening the inside line is a must.

But once the inside line is strengthened, James' performance will inevitably be suppressed.

This is another classic case of being stuck in two directions, so trading James is equivalent to reshaping the Heat's team system.

So the interesting question is, where will James be traded to?
