Basketball's No. 1 Anti-Fan

Chapter 22 The Battle of Establishing Oneself
So Durant is here because of the social media status he posted?
This sounds incredible, but it doesn't seem out of place when it happens to Durant.

"After today," Han Sen replied while looking at Durant.

Durant's face darkened and he turned and walked directly to the three-point line.

Han Sen was delighted when he saw this.

If it was Wade on the other side, he would probably have said, "You're quite a dreamer."

But if it was Jordan, it would turn into a disdainful smile, and his anti-fan value would increase by +15.

But Durant's reaction was: very real dissatisfaction.

Although Durant's ability is different from what he expected, his personality is exactly the same.

Durant received the ball and Hansen went straight to him.

Durant's ability to pull up is too abnormal, at least he should be allowed to break through with the ball.

Moreover, Hansen's close combat was very biased. He leaned to the right, blocking Durant's breakthrough route on the left.

But doing so would mean leaving the right side to Durant.

Seeing this, Durant quickly broke through to the right.

He is tall, has long legs and takes big steps, and he breaks through with great strides.

However, Hansen also demonstrated his defensive ability, using his lateral movement to block Durant's route to the basket.

Durant broke through to the high position on the right side, and if he continued like this he would reach the baseline.

The hit rate of shots from the baseline is generally low, so he directly chose to take a quick stop jump shot.

Han Sen tried his best to interfere, but still failed to stop Durant's shot.

The rookies on the sidelines showed expressions of strong resonance at this time.

That's the feeling. Once Durant decides to take a shot, everything they do is in vain.

"when!"

But what was unexpected was that Durant's shot missed!
Is Han Sen so lucky?
Or is Durant tired from too many one-on-one duels?
"It seems that your dribbling breakthrough is not very good~" Han Sen turned around and looked at Durant with a smile.

Durant's face became more and more ugly. He was actually mocked by a rookie!
This scene also made Presti on the sidelines widen his eyes. It was the first time he had seen such a rookie.

The ball changed and it was Han Sen's turn to attack.

Durant also approached Hansen directly and took the initiative to confront him. It was obvious that he was really a little angry.

"Come, let me teach you!"

After Han Sen finished speaking, he broke through with the ball and accelerated past Durant.

But just as he was about to finish, Durant took action and successfully disrupted his layup.

The most abnormal, or the most inconsistent, thing about Durant is that he has the height of a power forward but the speed of a small forward.

In addition to his height of 2 meters, he also has a terrifying wingspan of 11 meters.

When he is willing to invest on the defensive end, he is a top-notch defensive player.

"Your dribbling breakthrough is terrible!" After successfully defending, Durant replied to Hansen unhappily.

Han Sen smiled and shrugged.

Durant puffed up his cheeks in anger.

He quickly walked towards the three-point line, determined to teach Han Sen a lesson this time!
Durant received the ball and Hansen continued with his previous defensive approach.

Durant tried to change direction to the left, but Hansen used his defensive slide very well and his confrontation was also good, so he could only go to the right in the end.

This time he took a quick stop and jump shot from a closer distance.

But something that surprised everyone happened again, Durant's shot missed again!
The rookies were stunned, and even Presti fell into deep thought.

One round might be luck, but two consecutive rounds... was Durant being defended by a rookie?
In fact, let alone them, even Durant himself found it a little hard to believe.

Only Han Sen showed a barely perceptible smile.

Durant is clearly not at his peak as a sophomore and he definitely has weaknesses.

Han Sen was the last to appear, which gave him plenty of opportunities to observe.

As a former trainer, his observations are more subtle and accurate than those of ordinary people.

At this time, Durant had a very bad habit that he might not even be aware of: he always liked to shoot through the right side of his face.

The biggest impact of this habit is that it becomes difficult to make a pull-up jump shot on the right side.

What is presented on the court is that when Durant breaks through to the left, he likes to use a pull-up jump shot, but when he breaks through to the right, he prefers to attack the basket directly.

Therefore, by blocking Durant's breakthrough route to the left and his breakthrough route to the basket when breaking through from the right, Hansen's chances of successful defense become very high.

This is also the reason why he started to trash-talk Durant and angered Durant.

Wade or Jordan would not fall for such a trick, but Durant's true character can easily lead them into a trap from which they would not be able to climb out.

The ball was exchanged again, and Hansen accelerated after receiving the ball, but this time he quickly stepped back to the three-point line to shoot after the breakthrough.

Durant made a misjudgment and failed to keep up with Hansen's rhythm. Hansen's three-pointer fell. After scoring, Hansen raised his right hand and made a three-point celebration gesture towards the sidelines.

The rookies on the sidelines couldn't help but shout out in excitement.

Although they are competitors, Han Sen's current performance has won them a lot of respect.

Han Sen withdrew his hand and looked at Durant again.

Could Durant have known his skill set in advance?

Obviously impossible.

Jordan had at least seen him play one-on-one with others before, but Durant had never seen one.

This is also the real reason why he talked trash in the first round and chose to use a breakthrough attack that he was not good at.

Durant has strong defensive abilities, but his center of gravity is high. When he is paralyzed, his defensive judgment may go wrong, and he cannot return to his position quickly.

Of course, this tactic can only be used once. The second time, Durant was mentally prepared, but his shot was interfered and still missed the basket.

The two sides exchanged the ball again, and this time Durant chose to play against Hansen with his back to the basket.

The front frame is hard to hit, and the back frame is also difficult to hit?
With his body type, it's a natural mismatch for him to play as a shooting guard.

Han Sen's defensive method at this time was completely opposite to before. His whole body was leaning to the right, forcing Durant to turn left.

Then, Durant just didn't turn left.

It's not that he didn't want to, but his left turning technique was still very immature at this stage.

He finally forced a right turn and shot, but was blocked by Han Sen and missed the basket again.

Whether it was the front frame or the back frame, he was controlled by Han Sen!
Presti turned around and talked to Thunder head coach Scott Brooks.

The strength report they had in their hands was the same as the one the Bobcats had received, and Hansen's defensive ability was assessed as a B.

But judging from what is shown before us, I’m afraid it’s more than A+, it’s probably S-!
The game on the field continued, and Hansen scored two goals in a row.

After being defended by Hansen for so many rounds, Durant's mentality obviously fluctuated.

At this time, some spectators on the sidelines couldn't help but whistle.

It would be big news if Durant lost to a rookie who hasn't even entered the league yet.

Durant threw a vicious look towards the sidelines, and the world suddenly became quiet.

It was after this that he closely defended against Han Sen's attack, and then adjusted his attacking style again.

He directly backed up and attacked hard into the paint.

Durant is big in stature, and as a sophomore he has already developed physical confrontation skills. If he plays like this, as long as he reaches the three-second zone, the interference Han Sen can provide will be relatively limited.

However, instead of being discouraged after his defense failed, Han Sen became really excited.

Because he really saw the opportunity.

Although the defense in front of him was very targeted, he was facing Durant, who was famous for his ability to stand up and play one-on-one.

Even for the sophomore Durant, he was still too strong for him since he hadn't yet trained Star Catcher to the bottleneck.

But in addition to his technical weaknesses during this period, Durant also had another more fatal weakness: physical fitness.

Post-up play, especially hard work in the paint, consumes the most physical energy.

Especially since Durant had used so many other rookies before, although the games were relatively easy, physical consumption was inevitable.

After realizing this, Hansen quickly adjusted his defensive strategy and began to fight Durant with all his strength and consume his opponent's energy.

Not only on defense, he also actively looked for Durant on offense.

The basketball court instantly turned into a rugby field, with people falling down from time to time. The intensity of the confrontation made the spectators on the sidelines hold their breath.

After a few more rounds, Durant's movements began to slow down.

Later, he realized what Han Sen was doing.

He tried to adjust his offensive approach again, using his height advantage to force a direct shot.

As a result, his consecutive attempts all ended in failure!

Every player has a touch, but after Hansen's targeted defense and desperate confrontation, his touch was lost.

This meant that even though he knew Han Sen had dug a hole, he had no choice but to jump in.

11:10.

The two fought for more than fifty rounds, and Hansen finally exhausted Durant.

Durant supported his knees with his hands, breathing heavily, looking at Hansen with resentment, and finally stood up, turned around and left the stadium without looking back.

Presti gave Brooks a look, and the latter went after Durant.

Presti walked towards Hansen with a smile on his face.
