Basketball's No. 1 Anti-Fan

Chapter 203 Welcome to NBA
Green showed his defensive characteristics well right from the start and successfully interfered with Gasol's shot.

Although Gasol Jr. still made a tip-in over his head.

Green's advantages lie in his confrontation and arm span, while his disadvantage is his height. In terms of body shape, he is very similar to Rodman.

However, even a strong player like Rodman could only play the power forward position on the Bulls. It is still very difficult for Green to limit a big center like Gasol.

Green did not perform well on the defensive end, which is his forte, but he made his presence felt on the offensive end.

His mobile pick-and-roll is a unique skill, and he can do it right under the referee's nose without being called, which allows him to create a good shooting space for Curry.

Curry finally had the opportunity to show his three-point shooting ability. He made his first three-pointer of the night with ease after holding the ball.

Looking back, at Jackson's signal, the Warriors also began to double-team the inside.

Green is more flexible than David Lee, which gives the Warriors more options on the defensive end.

Hansen saw this and received the ball after a pick-and-roll with Guy, and then made a quick stop jump shot after a breakthrough to score.

Then in the next round, Barnes and Ezeli blocked the defender for Curry in the middle.

This surprised Han Sen, because this was clearly the elevator door tactic.

He thought this tactic was invented by Kerr, but he didn't expect it was actually come up with by Jackson.

Jackson is still more valuable than Hollins.

Hansen saw Curry run out of opportunity and quickly went over to defend.

But at this moment, Green threw the ball behind him.

While Hansen was moving, Thompson was already moving quickly toward the strong side corner.

After receiving the ball, Thompson made a three-pointer before Hansen returned to defense.

15:11.

"Three points are one point more than two points" is the favorite phrase of data-oriented people, and it was the Warriors who made them come to that conclusion.

Or to be more precise, it is the Splash Brothers, because if these two brothers are given the opportunity, they can really pull you in.

However, Han Sen's gaze fell on Green again.

You know what, there may be no one in the league who is more suitable for these two brothers than Green. He can not only block people, but also pass the ball to the right place.

Maybe Big Green can be considered another one, but how could the noble Nike star help two rookies?

This is not a question of ability, but a question of status.

So after discovering the problem, when it came to the offensive end, Hansen began to actively ask Conley for the ball.

After getting the ball, he signaled Gasol Jr. to set a high-post pick-and-roll, and then faced Green in a mismatch.

This instantly ignited the atmosphere on the scene.

"It's time to welcome this rookie to the NBA!" This also made Barkley excited in the commentary booth.

In terms of strength alone, especially in the absence of Bogut, the Warriors are clearly a level behind the Grizzlies.

So compared to the outcome of the game, they were obviously more concerned about the conversation between Hansen and Green.

In other words, they wanted to see Hansen ravaging Green.

After all, Han Sen is no longer the rookie who only knew how to brag when he first entered the league, but a real FMVP.

Of course, the fans at the scene had different ideas from Barkley and others.

They wanted to see Green replicate Hansen's path and become the next person to fulfill his big words.

Green didn't back down and clapped his hands before defending.

If it were Big Green who was in the game, Thompson would definitely be pushed forward.

Green made a fierce move, but he was quickly passed by Hansen.

Green's flexibility, or his excellent lateral speed, was once touted by some Warriors fans as being able to defend from one to five, but in fact he is simply unable to defend against outside players who break through at a fast speed.

At this time, the impact of Bodog's absence was further reflected. Hansen passed Green, and the Warriors were basically in a state of openness.

He accelerated and jumped, then slammed the ball into the basket with a violent one-handed slam dunk.

Han Sen hung on the basket for a while before landing on the ground.

Looking at Green who was about to serve the ball in the backcourt, he couldn't help but ask, "So where have you improved in your four years in college?"

"That's because you're in the NBA!" Green did not show any weakness.

"Then why didn't you enter the NBA earlier? Is it because you didn't want to?" Han Sen asked.

This has really put Green in a tough spot. Who doesn't want to enter the NBA and make money as soon as possible? Don't you know there is no draft market?
Green continued to screen for Curry in the frontcourt. This time, he quickly jumped out after the screen to create space for Curry, and Curry took the opportunity to break through.

Curry is not only threatening with his three-pointers, his breakthroughs are also extremely lethal.

The Grizzlies chose to shrink their defense. Curry looked back while moving, half-turned and passed the ball to Green at the top of the arc.

After receiving the ball, Green made a three-pointer.

Green's three-pointers are not very reliable most of the time, but he can really throw them in at critical moments.

Four years of university training did not improve his abilities much, but it did develop a big heart.

In the "history" that Hansen knows, in the seventh game of the 16 Finals, Green made 6 three-pointers in a single game.

"Stop your trash talk, we're about to overtake!" After hitting the three-pointer, Green finally found an opportunity to trash talk back at Hansen.

Han Sen laughed when he heard this. Green was much more interesting than Big Green. After all, although Sharapova was good, who really wanted to be like Vujacic and attack someone who couldn't scream?
Hansen also continued to look for Green on offense.

Green is also tough enough and doesn't even ask for help defense.

But this is actually his cleverness. It seems that he failed to defend against Han Sen, but in fact he showed enough face.

Moreover, the Warriors' other inside players are not as capable of defending smaller players as Green. Substituting others will only make the effect worse, and he will continue to be left on the court.

Of course, the Warriors are not without changes. Although Green did not call, Jackson was already making tactical gestures on the sidelines.

Hansen observed the defense, quickly broke through Green, turned around and shot towards Ezeli who was assisting in defense.

Ezeli's speed couldn't keep up with Hansen's rhythm, but Green showed his ability to assist in defense in this ball, and he rushed forward to interfere when Hansen jumped.

However, Han Sen's ability to stay in the air was much stronger than he had imagined, and he could not wait for Han Sen to make a move.

Finally, he decided to go all out and hit Hansen's shooting hand hard on the elbow.

The sound was crisp and clear, and the referee's whistle sounded immediately.

What Green never expected was that after being hit, Hansen actually readjusted his posture in the air and still threw the ball out before falling.

He turned around and just saw the basketball go into the net.

Although he knew that Han Sen was now the FMVP, it was only when he actually faced Han Sen that he truly realized how much Han Sen had improved in the past four years.

"Please pray to God! That's the only way you can defend against me." Han Sen looked at Green and said with a smile after landing.

It is not enough to just put the fry into the fish pond, of course they need to be fed.

Green's face flushed.

Hansen went to the free throw line.

After receiving the ball from the referee, Han Sen dribbled it twice as if he remembered that something was missing.

"Welcome to the NBA, my boy." After saying that, Han Sen made the free throw.

Green stopped talking. It was obvious that he realized the power of Hansen's trash talk and decided to avoid it.

Of course, he must have been cursing Han Sen in his heart.

Although Green didn't say anything, Hansen knew from his expression that his training of this black fan leader had been initially successful.

Green got another three-point opportunity from the outside, but this time he stuck his butt out and failed to make the shot.

Although he had played four years of college basketball and was very mature, he was still a rookie in the NBA after all. Han Sen kept rubbing him, and it was hard for him not to have fluctuations in his mentality.

The rebound went to Gasol Jr.

When he looked up, he saw Han Sen who had already rushed out of the three-point line.

The Grizzlies' twin-tower lineup is not suitable for fast play, but Hansen is an exception because he is really fast.

Gasol Jr. made a quarterback-like long pass, and Hansen caught the ball and ran to the frontcourt.

After taking a look at Curry who was trying hard to defend behind him, he performed a windmill dunk on the spot.

22:14.

After Han Sen's personal offensive, the score difference on the field went straight to double digits.

The game entered a pause.

During the timeout, Joerger did not take the tactical board, but just made some mobilization.

The Grizzlies' tactics are going smoothly right now and there is no need for adjustments.

Han Sen had long been immune to chicken soup and looked at the field with boredom.

It was at this moment that he revealed an expression similar to Ding Yanyuhang.

Having played in the NBA for more than three years, Han Sen has seen countless cheerleading performances.

You may be interested in it at first, but after a while you will just feel bored.

Contrary to what many people imagine, not many cheerleaders are good-looking.

After all, just because NBA players earn high salaries doesn't mean other people also earn high incomes. The income of cheerleaders can be summarized in one sentence: you can't support yourself by dancing alone.

In this income group, how many beautiful women do you think you can find?

Moreover, cheerleading is harder and more tiring than many people imagine. After all, it is a technical and physical job.

But just now, Hansen saw a very beautiful woman, who was not only pretty and had a good figure, but also had a bit of exotic charm.

How should I put it? That was the first time in all the time Han Sen had traveled through time that he had the urge to get contact information.

"Sean, our rule is that we cannot have contact with cheerleaders. Does that mean we can only have contact with members of our own team?" Han Sen turned to Battier and asked.

Battier was stunned by this sudden question.

You know what, this question really stumped him.

The reason why the NBA has this rule is because of "Magic" Johnson. When Johnson was diagnosed with HIV, all the cheerleaders of the Lakers team were taken for examination.

So this rule basically applies between the players of the same team and the cheerleaders of the same team.

As for those from other teams, you can’t normally come into contact with them, right?
But after a little thought, Battier then gave a suggestion:
“You can check their official website.”

NBA cheerleaders will have relevant registration information on the official website.

Upon hearing this, Hansen gave Battier a thumbs up, saying that an old person in the family is like a treasure.

At the end of the first half, the Grizzlies led the Warriors 51-38.

The black and white bears scored 26 points and 14 rebounds in the first half.

Entering the third quarter, the Grizzlies significantly improved their defense, which is also the key to their winning streak this season.

Just like in the opening game against the Thunder, the opponents would be overwhelmed by their suddenly increased defensive intensity in the third quarter.

Moreover, Joerger also made detailed adjustments for the Warriors, that is, when encountering pick-and-rolls on the outside, the players would rush outwards and the inside would also shrink.

To put it bluntly, the Warriors will not be given three-pointers or shots under the basket, but they will be given appropriate opportunities for mid-range shots.

The Warriors' scoring efficiency has obviously dropped. Although Curry and Thompson's mid-range shots are of a certain level, there is still a gap with Hansen's.

As for the mid-range shots that can’t kill people, they are definitely not as efficient as the Black and White Duo.

The Grizzlies quickly widened the gap.

Seeing that the team was about to be overwhelmed in the third quarter, Curry finally became "selfish" on the court. He began to frequently play pick-and-roll with Ezeli, and then used the gaps in the pick-and-roll to shoot three-pointers from the outside.

This choice is very smart, because the Grizzlies' biggest weakness has not changed. Randolph is afraid of pick-and-rolls, not to mention the pick-and-rolls that occur at the three-point line, which he has no way of defending.

The Grizzlies' response was to switch defense in advance. Whenever there was a pick-and-roll, Gasol would switch with Randolph in advance, while Conley also tried his best to grab the ball forward.

This greatly reduces Curry's shooting opportunities.

However, it was this kind of defense that allowed people to catch a glimpse of Curry's epoch-making three-point talent.

Even with just a little bit of space, Curry can make a three-pointer.

His one-step shot looks easy to block, but his shooting speed is too fast.

In this quarter, Curry made 4 three-pointers in a single quarter.

You have to know that a top 3D player like Afflalo can only shoot 4 three-pointers at most in a game.

Under his leadership, the Warriors really kept up with the Grizzlies in the third quarter.

However, by the fourth quarter, the game quickly lost its suspense.

Han Sen, who had been slacking off for most of the first three quarters and even had the mood to look at beautiful women, regained his energy and reaped the rewards in the final quarter.

He scored 20 points in a single quarter, making Thompson, who was on his opposite side, question his life.

Thompson is now also labeled as a 3D player, but his slightly awkward lateral movement makes him look like a wooden stake.

Moreover, Hansen was clearly aiming to score in this quarter. When the Warriors double-teamed him, he simply turned around and faded away. That momentum broke the Warriors' defensive mentality.

What's even more terrible is that even if Han Sen really didn't make the shot, the black and white bears would most likely be able to get the frontcourt rebound and complete a second attack.

Because when you increase your defensive focus on Hansen, your ability to protect the inside will inevitably decrease.

The collapse of defense led to the collapse of offense, and the Grizzlies eventually defeated the Warriors 104-84.

According to post-match statistics, three Grizzlies players scored 20+ points, Hansen scored 32 points, and only Curry from the Warriors scored over 20 points. He made 10 of 6 three-pointers and scored 26 points. Green had 8 points, 4 rebounds and 4 assists.

"Han said he would destroy us in the third quarter, but did he do it?" Green got the opportunity to attend the press conference, and he also made full use of his verbal battle ability.

"We're missing Andrew (Bogut), and it's going to be a completely different story when he comes back."

When Hansen attended the post-match press conference, reporters threw Green's original words to him.

This made Hansen couldn't help laughing. The Warriors didn't get defeated in the third quarter because of Curry, not Green.

However, it is not surprising that Green is the one who can say, "Without me, Curry would not be where he is now."

Han Sen smiled because his training of the black fan leader was going very smoothly.

"I look forward to meeting them in the playoffs, so that he can understand how vulnerable the so-called modern basketball is in front of us."
