Basketball's No. 1 Anti-Fan

Chapter 220 He is real, I cry to death

A large number of fans at the scene stood up and began to wave the yellow towels in their hands.

Generally speaking, teams will do something to enhance the home atmosphere during the playoffs.

For example, as Hansen knew, after P.J. Washington's folded-arms gesture became popular in "history", the Mavericks placed a mat with Washington's folded arms on all seats at home, which was very impressive.

The towel distributed by the Grizzlies is related to Sacre.

Although he has rarely had a chance to play, this bench player is so passionate on the bench that his popularity in the Grizzlies is higher than many rotation players.

The Grizzlies didn't have much trouble in the first two rounds, but in the Western Conference Finals against the Spurs, the Grizzlies used a big trick tonight, giving everyone a yellow towel with the words "Whoop that trick" printed on it.

The scene of these thousands of people shaking together is quite spectacular.

No matter how strong Popovich was, he couldn't sit still at this moment. He stood up and gestured to the court.

Parker and Duncan made a pick-and-roll and passed the ball to Leonard in the corner, but Leonard's three-pointer was not made due to Gay's return defense.

This Spurs team has a strong defense, but their offense is relatively weak.

As Duncan got older, his low-post threat continued to decline, and the Spurs had not yet developed the "Hammer Tactics" during this period. Their offense during the starting lineup was basically based on the pick-and-roll between Parker and Duncan.

The key to the Spurs' victory lies in defense, and the key to the Grizzlies' victory over the Spurs lies in whether they can break through the Spurs' defense.

When Hansen went to the frontcourt again, he found that his defender had become Leonard.

This is the defensive strategy Popovich had thought of before. If Green is not good enough, Leonard will be used, and Hansen will be used as the rotation player.

Hansen received the ball and tried to back-up Leonard, but the effect was not good.

Leonard is a size bigger than Green, and the key is that his arm span and big hands give the ball enough pressure.

Hansen passed the ball back to Conley and asked for the ball again.

After catching the ball again, he turned around and changed from facing the basket with his back to the basket.

Leonard has good static talent but poor dynamic talent, which was one of the main reasons why he fell out of the lottery in the draft that year.

Post-up singles are static offense, and it is difficult to play against Leonard who has good static talents, but face-to-face singles are dynamic offense.

Han Sen's adjustments immediately produced results.

He knew that Leonard's "Death Coil" did not break through head-on, but went to the right to increase the distance between him and Leonard, and his subsequent quick stop jump shot also caused limited interference from Leonard.

It's a bit of a pity that the ball was interfered by Duncan's assist defense and did not go in the end.

Because face-to-frame offense is a dynamic offense, there is a greater need for offensive space and it is more likely to encounter interference from assisting defense when shooting.

Leonard cut in from the weak side and received a pass from Duncan for a layup. Even when the ball was pressed down by Gay, he still managed to put the ball into the basket, breaking the Spurs' scoring drought.

Gold will shine wherever it is, and Leonard's talent is visible to the naked eye.

Hansen continued to hold the ball in the frontcourt, still attacking facing the basket.

This time he shortened the distance of his breakthrough, and after pulling away from Leonard, he shot directly from the free throw line.

Duncan couldn't help defend on this ball. Although Leonard jumped up and tried to interfere with his long arms, Hansen's ball had a fade away and his jumping ability was not enough to interfere.

"Shh!"

The basketball went through the net again.

The cheers at the scene exploded again, and more fans waved the towels in their hands.

Some fans even held up towels and unfolded the above sentence.

At this time, it would be better for Han Sen not to jump off the technical platform than to jump off the technical platform.

Of course he totally deserved it because he scored the Grizzlies' first 10 points after the opening!
4:10.

The Grizzlies also established a lead at the start.

"Defend! Defend!"

After the transition from offense to defense, the cheers of Grizzlies fans were heard at the scene.

Because many fans were still standing, the sound waves came from all directions, from high to low, just like stereo surround.

Duncan made a great pass, but Green's hand shook when he took an open shot and the ball missed.

The momentum of the Grizzlies fans put pressure on the "young" Spurs team.

Conley advanced to the frontcourt with the ball, and Hansen continued to hold the ball and play one-on-one!

This was his seventh round since the opening.

Zhao Zilong only charged in and out of the battle array seven times.

Popovich was a little stunned.

When Han Sen fought like this, it was no longer just a matter of momentum, but he completely disregarded his physical strength.

So what are the Grizzlies trying to do?
While Popovich was confused, Hansen once again held the ball and played against Leonard, and this time he played more targeted.

After making a fake breakthrough, he directly faked a pull-up shot.

Because Han Sen had just made a shot, Leonard was immediately inspired.

Then, Leonard paid the price for his youth. After Hansen received the ball, he caused a defensive foul on his shooting and got two free throws.

Han Sen went to the free throw line and adjusted his breathing.

The opening singles was a tactical strategy he developed after discussing it with Joerger after watching the video.

Popovich thought he had more cards in his hand and more options on the defensive end.

But the Grizzlies used this method to tell the Spurs that those so-called cards were useless in front of Hansen.

Once this is proven, the Spurs will have no choice but to go back to using zone defense.

As long as the game enters that mode, the Grizzlies will take the initiative at the tactical level.

Of course, this is also the Spurs' Achilles' heel.

The reason why Kobe can become a Spurs killer is not just because of his mid-range shot when facing a double team defense.

Even without Paul, Kobe was still able to drag the game into a seventh game with his explosive scoring in Game 6.

The Spurs have excellent defensive rotation. They are not afraid of breakthrough players or team plays, but they are very afraid of this kind of mid-range and long-range singles players.

Of course, it is not easy to beat Green and Leonard at the same time. Although they are still young, they caused a lot of trouble to Kobe in the last round.

However, Han Sen's current performance has far exceeded expectations.

Han Sen made both free throws.

4:12.

Duncan finally scored a point with a mid-range rebound shot after a pick-and-roll.

Looking back, Popovich finally signaled to assist Hansen in defense.

The premise of "too many singles hurt the team" is that the efficiency of singles is not high.

Hansen scored in 7 out of 6 possessions. If the Spurs continue to defend like this, they might really end up scoring 81 points like the Raptors did.

But Han Sen didn't intend to give up like this.

He passed the ball to Gasol Jr. before the double-team, and then continued to cut to the basket without the ball through the double-team.

Gasol passed the ball to Hansen, who faced Split's layup and caused the latter to commit a defensive foul, and was on the free throw line again.

"MVP! MVP!"

When Hansen was about to take the free throw, the cheers from the fans were unstoppable.

Han Sen made two free throws again amid the shouts. He had already scored the team's first 14 points since the opening!
The defensive shouts at the scene continued. When Duncan was holding the ball and waiting for Parker to go around, Conley saw the opportunity and stole the ball!

The Grizzlies played a defensive counterattack, Conley quickly drew the ball and passed it to Hansen who was following up in the middle. Hansen jumped and dodged Leonard in the air, and smashed the ball into the basket with his right hand.

This time FedEx was really in an uproar. Not just a few thousand people, but more than ten thousand people were waving yellow towels, and the momentum was overwhelming.

Popovich reached out and called a timeout.

At this time, Han Sen's data for the night was displayed on the large LED screen.

7投6中，4罚4中，16分。

Scored 16 points in a row at the start!
This made everyone in the commentary booth very excited.

Especially Barkley, he seemed to be high.

"Now let me reintroduce him. He is God's 77-point basketball owner, the technical station terminator, the Spurs killer, and the mayor of the Holy City, Hansen!"

During the timeout, Hansen sat down and took the water and towel that Sacre handed to him. He adjusted his breathing and took a big sip.

Sweat was now beating down his forehead.

Although the game had just started a short while ago, this high-intensity continuous singles consumption of physical energy was rapid.

Of course, the results are worth it.

Because now the momentum of the game is completely on the Grizzlies' side.

And more importantly, the Grizzlies have taken the initiative on the court. Now the Spurs have to consider what defensive method to use, rather than how the Grizzlies can break the Spurs' defense.

After the timeout, the Spurs replaced Green and Split with Ginobili and Dio.

Ginobili's effect after coming on the court was immediate. He received the ball from the outside and after the pick-and-roll by Dio, he broke through and made a quick stop and fade away shot from mid-range.

8:16.

Although the Grizzlies were in high spirits at the start, the Spurs were able to keep close to the score by playing piecemeal.

Popovich's thinking at this time is also very clear.

Under normal circumstances, it would be impossible for Han Sen to keep scoring like this. As long as we can get through this period, everything will be fine once Han Sen stops scoring.

Leonard then used a defensive method to restrict Hansen from receiving the ball.

When Hansen ran to the three-point line to receive the ball, Ginobili also quickly ran over to assist in defense.

Popovich didn't double-team the team at the beginning of the game, but he double-teamed the team to the death.

Conley passed the ball to Gay, but Duncan also came out to interfere with Gay's reception of the ball. By the time Gay controlled the ball, he had lost the first chance to score.

When the ball left Hansen's hands, everyone felt the true defensive strength of the Spurs team.

Gay finally chose to turn around and shoot a long jump shot.

The ball hit the back edge of the basket and bounced high before going wide due to Duncan's interference.

Duncan turned around to grab the defensive rebound, but a figure grabbed the ball in mid-air before he could.

He turned his hand that was grabbing the backboard to block the shot, but it was unstoppable.

"Oh!"

In front of the stunned eyes of the fans, Hansen broke away from Leonard and Ginobili, rushed into the paint, and completed a tip-in over Duncan!
He fulfilled what he said that year and completed a dunk over Duncan, who did not have plantar fasciitis!
FedEx Center exploded again.

After landing, Han Sen couldn't hide his excitement and shook his jersey and shouted.

The strategy was set before the game, the opening score was beyond expectations, and the current performance was something he himself did not expect!
He could clearly feel his physical energy being consumed, but it seemed as if new energy was constantly flowing out of his body. That was a signal that his body was excited, and he was already high!
Popovich's eyes widened at this time.

Even Kobe Bryant never scored 18 points in a row at the start of a game against the Spurs.

This is not just getting high, this is going crazy.

Looking back, the Grizzlies' defensive intensity is still improving.

Parker was intercepted by Conley again when he broke through. If Conley hadn't stepped out of bounds in his hurry to make a fast break, the Grizzlies would have succeeded in defending him again.

The Grizzlies' defensive intensity is not only because they regained their tension in the game against the Warriors, but also because Hansen's magical performance allowed them to devote a lot of physical energy to the defensive end.

Han Sen was destined to lead the team tonight, and they couldn't hold him back.

The Spurs' ball finally fell into Ginobili's hands.

In good times, Parker is a Buddha; in bad times, he is a demon sword that slays gods and demons in desperate situations.

Ginobili made a serpentine breakthrough after the pick-and-roll and went straight to the inside.

But just as he dodged Gasol's rebound shot, a figure suddenly jumped up from behind him and directly pressed his shot onto the backboard.

Han Sen, still Han Sen!
Not only is Han Sen on the offensive end, but there is also Han Sen on the defensive end!

Some fans at the scene couldn't help but hold their heads.

At this time they all forgot to swing the yellow towel because they no longer knew how to express their emotions!

The ball finally fell into the hands of the Grizzlies, and the Spurs' offense failed again.

Hansen continued to be tightly guarded by the Spurs. Gay seized the opportunity to continue cutting in, and after seeing Duncan's help defense, he passed the ball to Randolph.

However, Randolph's shot missed the basket due to Dio's interference.

Although Dio is not as tall as the starting Split, he moves faster.

Fortunately, Gasol Jr. moved to the basket and grabbed the offensive rebound.

After seeing Duncan coming, he didn't rush for a second attack, but instead passed the ball back to Conley on the outside to reorganize the game.

Just at this time, Conley saw Han Sen running back.

The Grizzlies' previous attack affected the Spurs' defensive formation, and Hansen's run successfully created an opportunity to catch the ball.

Conley passed the ball immediately.

The pass was timely enough, but when Hansen received the ball, Leonard had already rushed over again, and Ginobili was also assisting him from the top of the arc.

The Spurs' defensive execution was fully demonstrated at this moment.

Hansen did not choose to pass the ball this time. Instead, he took advantage of Leonard's unstable footing just after he rushed over and leaned against him with his back. Then he turned around and shot from the opposite direction of Ginobili's defense, that is, at the baseline.

Ginobili's help defense was obviously too late, but Leonard rushed forward and tried to interfere with Hansen.

Unfortunately, although he has a good enough wingspan, his bounce is still not enough to achieve such a long fade away.

The ball spun over Leonard's head and toward the basket.

The fans at the scene subconsciously held their breath.

This is not a buzzer beater, but it is more exciting than a buzzer beater.

This ball is difficult, but the arc of the ball is very straight.

"Shh!"

When the crisp sound of the ball entering the net came through the loudspeaker, the FedEx Center instantly boiled over.

The camera turned to Popovich, and his wide eyes showed the shock he received at the moment.

"What else can I say, man?" This time Barkley didn't know how to describe it in the commentary booth.

Hansen scored the first 20 points in a row against the Spurs!
God playing in a No. 77 jersey? As if that wasn't enough, Hansen's opening performance tonight was historic!
"It can be seen that Han and CP3 have a really good relationship!" O'Neal sighed at this time.

Because of Han Sen’s previous remarks, Paul was also watching the live broadcast of this game. He wanted to see what Han Sen was up to.

At this time, he was listening to O'Neal's commentary and looking at Hansen who landed outside the three-point line and raised his hands to celebrate.

Han Sen, he really made me cry.
