Basketball's No. 1 Anti-Fan

Chapter 204 Scarlett's Fat Show
The Grizzlies successfully won seven consecutive games this season, breaking the team record, and they also celebrated in the locker room after the game.

There are many voices outside that worry that they will encounter many problems in their defending season, just like the Lakers and Mavericks.

But they proved with their actions that those worries were completely unnecessary.

Or maybe they are more like the 1991 Bulls or 2001 Lakers as Stan analyzed. The first championship was not their peak, and the defending season was the display of their full strength.

After the celebration, they flew back to Memphis overnight because they had a back-to-back game scheduled the next day.

When he returned to Memphis, Hansen remembered what Battier said and checked the Warriors' official website.

You know what, the NBA is very professional in this regard. Not only does it have a list of cheerleaders, but it also comes with their photos.

What Han Sen didn't expect was that the person he saw was not there.

So this is just temporary, just like when he first joined the Heat as a caddie?
This made him feel confused and regretful at the same time.

He also tried to find the video of the game, but what surprised him even more was that the person he saw was not in the live cheerleading performance.

This made him wonder for a moment whether he was hallucinating.

After a careful study, I found that the segment was an official pause①, and there was no footage of the live cheerleading performance.

This is really a missed opportunity, but maybe it’s just not our destiny yet.

Time flies, and it’s already December.

The first month of the 2012~2013 season has officially come to an end.

The league announced the players of the month for the first month of the season at the beginning of the month.

Coach of the Month awards went to Memphis Grizzlies' Joerger and Miami Heat's Spoelstra.

灰熊队在在11月取得了11胜1负的战绩，算上10月末的那场以12胜1负的战绩高居西部榜首。

This was beyond the expectations of many people. After all, there is no need to say how hellish the Western Conference is this season. However, among the opponents the Grizzlies defeated in November, there were many direct competitors such as the Nuggets and Spurs.

“A lot of people don’t realize we played the majority of last season without Zach and now we’re just a complete unit.”

Conley's words in front of reporters explained the root cause of the Grizzlies' record.

凭借着球队的出色战绩，以及场均24.6分5.2板6.2助攻1.9抢断的表现，韩森也当选了西部11月的月最佳球员。

However, the Grizzlies are not the only team with an excellent record in the Western Conference. The Lakers, Spurs, Nuggets and Mavericks all lost less than three games in the first month.

In addition, the Thunder, ranked sixth, have a record of 8 wins and 4 losses.

With James out due to injury, Westbrook averaged 11 points, 25.2 rebounds and 7.3 assists per game in November, putting up MVP-level stats and carrying the game.

But this has made life difficult for other teams in the Western Conference. After the start of the season, many teams in the lower half have won no more than 5 games.

This year's Western Conference is destined to be a highly polarized season.

However, since James and Iguodala were traded to the West one after another, these were still predictable.

However, there were many unexpected events in the first month of the Eastern Conference.

The first is the Heat, who lost their opening game against the Pacers.

Granger was still recovering from a serious injury, so Vogel pushed Paul George to the small forward position and let Tony Allen start at the No. 2 position. This double gate made it difficult for both Wade and Durant to play, and it could be seen from the game that they lacked some tacit understanding with each other as they had just formed a team.

In other words, this high-pressure defense exposed the biggest weakness of this Heat team: they lack a good organizer.

In fact, McRoberts was originally a good fit for this team, but unfortunately the Thunder asked him to be traded in a package with James.

However, the Heat then achieved a league-long 11-game winning streak.

凭借着这波连胜，以及场均26.5分8.8板4.4助攻1.6抢断的表现，杜兰特当选了东部的11月月最佳球员。

Despite some issues, the Heat's roster is strong.

Of course, this also reflects the strength of the Pacers this season. In fact, the Pacers are now ranked second in the Eastern Conference.

The Nets, who had assembled a luxurious lineup, finished third.

The conflict between Howard and Nets head coach Avery Johnson has become almost public.

He believed that Johnson did not pay enough attention to him and only let him play pick-and-roll and blue-collar roles in the Nets, which was completely different from what was promised to him before.

According to the latest media reports, Johnson's position as coach of the Nets is in jeopardy.

Interestingly, the Bucks, currently ranked eighth in the Eastern Conference, have a record of just 5 wins and 6 losses.

If nothing unexpected happens, the Eastern Conference will most likely make it to the playoffs this season as long as they win more than half of their games.

In other words, the Heat will enjoy the benefits of the Eastern Conference this season and may become another team after the Bulls to win 70 games in the regular season.

So when it comes to December, fans become more and more looking forward to the Christmas game between the Grizzlies and the Heat.

This is not only a clash between the top teams in the East and West, but it will also likely be a preview of the finals.

However, during these days of waiting, some very "explosive" news appeared in the league.

And all this news is related to Han Sen.

The American NBC media, yes, the one that Hansen once complained about with an extra B, has a very popular show in the United States called "Late Night with Jimmy Fallon".

As the name suggests, it is a late-night show hosted by Fallon.

He was originally a singer and actor, and became a show host in 2009. Because of the show's people-friendly approach and his unique hosting style, the show quickly became popular.

Because he is a little fat, the audience also affectionately calls him "Fatty Lun".

Therefore, whether for publicity or to enhance personal influence, many celebrities and entertainers will appear on this "Fat Lun Show".

For example, Swift has been on this show before and contributed the famous scene of "living on bananas".

Then recently, in order to promote her new movie "Hitchcock", Scarlett also appeared on the Allen Show.

It’s just that because Scarlett’s image as “Black Widow” is so popular, and the Avengers was just released this year, it’s inevitable that the topic of the Avengers will be discussed.

Then we talked about Black Widow's emotional issues in the movie, because there was a party in Avengers 1, where Dr. Banner, the Hulk's original form, showed his affection for Black Widow.

And there is actually no such thing as a bottom line for this kind of variety show.

Hulk Smash, the double entendre topic made Scarlett blush.

"Who do you think is the most impressive man in real life?" Fei Lun asked.

"A basketball player."

"KD?"

When Fei Lun asked this question, the audience on the show was already laughing, and the bath water joke had already gone viral.

"No, no way!" Scarlett reacted strongly, and it was obvious that she had no interest in Durant at all.

"Han Sen." Scarlett gave the answer.

"Wow, why?" Fei Lun seemed very surprised. Although Scarlett appeared on the night when the Grizzlies won the championship, not many people knew about it.

"Hulk Smash." Then Scarlett's blushing answer brought the whole show to a climax.

This episode went viral on social media.

Although it has been a long time, the audience still remembers the reason why Swift and Han Sen broke up, which was that they couldn't stand Han Sen's energy.

Unexpectedly, this time Scarlett got the real evidence.

With the dual recognition of being a popular singer and a popular movie star, Han Sen has greatly expanded his off-field influence in a way that he himself did not expect.

Of course, this also brought him a considerable amount of black fans.

Jealousy can make a person unrecognizable. It's bad enough that you're with Swift, but now you're hooking up with Scarlett Johansson too. You're kicking away the goddesses in other people's minds one by one and leaving them no way to survive.

Of course, Durant was the one with the most explosive mentality at this time.

He is very familiar with the word "smash". It doesn't just mean kicking, it means really kicking to death. The image is too strong.

The result is that he played much more aggressively than before.

Then, the game between the Heat and the Thunder in the middle of this month brought the second explosive news in December.

James returned from injury after a month of absence, but his return did not make the Thunder better, because the Thunder played well in the month he was absent, and the players have become accustomed to playing without him.

Then after he returns, he will inevitably need a lot of ball possession and tactical position, which will affect more than just Westbrook.

Simply put, James' return destroyed the team's chemistry, but failed to quickly establish new chemistry.

So after James returned, although his statistics were still good, the Thunder looked weaker than before.

If they meet the Heat at this time, the result can be imagined.

The Heat basically had the game decided at halftime.

Then, in the third quarter, a conflict broke out on the court.

James, who was in a bad mood, encountered Durant's help defense during the offense and elbowed the opponent.

Durant was also unhappy, and the two of them started to scold each other.

"You can't win a championship with the Heat!" It can be seen that James has been criticized a lot, especially by Han Sen, and his trash talk level has improved.

"At least I won't get swept in the finals like you did." Durant's trash talk is extremely lethal.

"You just want to drink Hansen's bath water!" James's trash talk almost caused the two of them to start fighting.

Seeing this, Haslem hurried over to dissuade the two men. After all, one was his former teammate and the other was his current teammate.

Unexpectedly, James, who was hit in the sore spot, lost control and started to talk trash to Haslem:

"Put away your useless tricks, you are just a role player, you can't handle anyone!"

Haslem was enraged. He had always encouraged James when he was in the Heat, and even now that he had left the team, he came to mediate.

"Shut your mouth, I was already the champion before you came to this team!"

This sentence made James silent.

Of the members of the 2006 championship team, only two are still with the Heat: Wade and Haslem.

Wade's personality makes it impossible for him to speak such trash to James, with whom he has a good personal relationship, but Haslem has no psychological burden at all.

Because it was a dead ball conflict, the audio of this part was not captured and was directly released during the live broadcast.

This immediately gave rise to two famous memes that became popular all over the world.

The first one is naturally the Haslem formula: We were already the champions before you came.

The second one is "You want to drink Hansen's bath water", which is the bath water 2.0 version.

And this is linked to the Scarlett Johansson show, which can be regarded as the strongest trash talk in James' career.

The fact that Durant wanted to fight with James shows how destructive this trash talk is.

In fact, after this live broadcast was released, the popularity of the bath water even exceeded that of the Haslem formula.

After all, James has left the Heat at this time, but the bath water will not be affected by Durant's team change.

Han Sen was watching this big news on social media, and his social media was flooded with 1.5 million haters.

It can be seen that Durant's defense has been broken again.

Han Sen was just thinking about how to deal with these comments when he received a text message from Scarlett.

“I’ll be in Memphis for Christmas!”

This news surprised Han Sen.

Christmas in the United States is equivalent to the Spring Festival in Tokyo, and people usually celebrate it with their parents.

But he quickly realized that Scarlett was already 28 years old, and in the United States, girls of this age have very few connections with their original families.

And Scarlett is already married, so if she really wants to spend Christmas with her family, it will be with her ex-husband.

"I'll prepare a Christmas present for you." Han Sen replied to Scarlett.

Time came to February 12th in a blink of an eye.

The Christmas game is scheduled for Christmas Day, which is the 25th.

The league does not schedule any games on the evening of the 24th, which is Christmas Eve.

Usually at this time, the players will go home to reunite with their families.

Durant did not go back this year because he had to fly to Memphis the next morning, so he stayed in Miami for extra training.

The game against the Thunder is just a minor one, and the Christmas battle against the Grizzlies is the real highlight.

The sweat he shed represented his determination. He was determined to defeat Han Sen!

Hansen went to the airport to pick up Scarlett. All the Grizzlies players went home to reunite with their families, including Rondo who also returned to Miami.

So he took Scarlett directly back to his residence.

Since he is a student of Dongda University, he naturally has no habit of celebrating Christmas. However, since Scarlett said she would come over for Christmas, he has asked Rondo to prepare some things in advance.

Han Sen didn’t quite understand things like Christmas trees and turkeys, but Rondo understood them.

When Scarlett saw this, she was a little surprised and delighted.

After dinner, Scarlett also visited Hansen's residence with great interest.

Han Sen went to take out the prepared gifts from the storage room.

That's a big piece.

Scarlett looked at the big item Hansen dragged out and smiled with curiosity.

But when Han Sen opened it and revealed what was inside, her smile froze.

What Han Sen took out was a Jurassic-themed tent.

"I don't know what you'd like."

He really didn't know what gift to give. After all, Scarlett was not short of money, and he and Scarlett had more physical contact.

So he used a stupid method and went to Scarlett's social media to see what she liked.

After discovering that Scarlett often posted photos of scenery, and remembering that she once said she liked traveling, Hansen finally chose this one.

But just after he finished speaking, he noticed a strange ripple in Scarlett's eyes.

Together they set up the tent in the living room.

What Han Sen didn't expect was that Scarlett actually asked him to get some quilts and other things, as they were going to sleep in it at night.

This was unexpected for Han Sen, but he also knew that he had made the right choice in giving the gift.

After sleeping in the tent and turning off the small light, only the moonlight outside the window was left, and the camping feeling instantly came out.

"When I was seven years old, I asked my father for a Jurassic World-themed tent, which I set up in the bedroom my sister and I shared. There were velociraptors and other dinosaurs on the tent. They glowed in the middle of the night, and the tent made me feel safe. I slept in it for a whole year." Scarlett narrated slowly, resting her head on Hansen's arm.

Her experience is not particularly unique. Children, due to their lack of security, have no resistance to tents or other small spaces.

The peculiar thing is that the theme of the tent that Hansen randomly chose is the same type as the one Scarlett slept in when she was a child.

This explains Scarlett's expression earlier, because from Scarlett's perspective, it was very romantic.

"Thank you, this is the best Christmas present I have ever received."

Scarlett said as she took Hansen's hand and kissed it.

Han Sen's expression was slightly awkward at this time.

This is definitely a coincidence. After all, from an adult's perspective, little girls are more interested in Barbie dolls. Who would like dinosaurs?
Fortunately, his expression could not be seen clearly in the moonlight, and he would not be stupid enough to break this atmosphere.

He kissed Scarlett's red lips.
