Basketball's No. 1 Anti-Fan

Chapter 232 Understanding Jordan
Speed, awareness, power.

The comprehensiveness brought by Death Coil is far greater than that of Star Catcher.

And to improve this defensive talent, there is no better time than this training camp.

The individuals in Hansen's training camp are all worse at defense but more powerful at offense.

Hansen also announced that this year's training camp will add an American-style one-on-one session after the full-court confrontation.

In name, it is to train everyone's one-on-one skills, but in reality it allows him to defend against others one by one.

This efficiency is no longer just twice the result with half the effort, it is a soaring efficiency.

While Han Sen was training hard, information came from Yao Ming.

The Basketball Association agreed with his plan.

Now that the men's basketball team has reached rock bottom, they don't really have a choice, because at least they have to let the fans see action.

However, due to financial constraints, the first batch of money that should have been paid by the Basketball Association will be paid by Yao Ming first.

Well, it's kind of expected.

Or maybe the Basketball Association was unwilling to pay, and Yao Ming paid out of his own pocket.

But this is not really important, because if this plan can really succeed, the CBA bosses are willing to pay for it themselves later.

After all, Yi Jianlian and Wang Zhizhi have already given the answers to how strong the players returning from the NBA are and how much income they can bring.

Moreover, from previous conversations with Yao Ming, I could sense that Yao Ming still had the idea of ​​joining the Basketball Association, as this was his way of paving the way for his future career.

Of course, that has nothing to do with Han Sen.

In fact, the first list Yao Ming gave to Han Sen did not include many names, and most of them were names Han Sen had never seen before.

Obviously, not everyone is willing to go far away for the opportunity to hit the NBA.

But this may not be a bad thing, as Hansen has been given his chance, his plan was ultimately proven to be unsuccessful, and in the eyes of the fans he has already made an effort.

The good thing is that Han Sen still saw two familiar names on this list.

Ding Yanyuhang and Zou Yuchen.

It is great to have dreams, no matter what era it is.

Time flies and it is the end of August. Han Sen's training camp is over.

His [Death Coil] hasn't reached its bottleneck yet, but it probably won't take too long.

At the beginning of September, UA arranged a trip to Dongda for Han Sen, just like in the past.

After the fund plan was launched, Yao Ming did a wave of publicity for Han Sen in the country.

So when Han Sen showed up at the University of Tokyo, the event was more lively than last year.

Because UA is going to enter the CBA, the event also arranged for some CBA players to participate in activities with Han Sen, including Ding Yanyuhang who is in the fund plan.

Hansen was moved by the enthusiasm of the fans at the scene. After the event, he came out and found that there were many fans at the door who didn't have the chance to go in. He stopped the car and opened the sunroof to sign autographs for the fans.

Because it was a temporary event, the scene was a little out of control for a while, and fans threw sneakers and jerseys at Hansen, some of which accidentally hit him.

Han Sen didn't mind. He was so happy with the signing that he took off his T-shirt and threw it out.

When he left, he took photos with the fans outside.

What those media people said were all aimed at inducing confrontation, but some of their words were correct. Whether it was the number of black fans or the All-Stars, his success was due to the efforts of the Dongda fans.

In addition to participating in the event, Han Sen had another important thing to do during this trip to Dongda.

There were no suitable opportunities for guest appearances in foreign films, so Rondo contacted some for him in China, and Hansen finally chose one himself.

He went to Yingtian and filmed a movie there.

Because it was a short clip, the shooting process was still very fast.

But from putting on makeup to going on stage, the whole process was full of freshness for Hansen.

The role he played was that of a special forces soldier, and at the beginning he just had to walk a few steps and pose beside the tank.

Since he had never acted in a movie before, he still had trouble handling roles with lines.

This in itself is a gimmick.

The reason why Han Sen chose this movie was because he knew it was controversial and would earn him a lot of black fans if it was really broadcast.

After the filming, the director was so enthusiastic that he treated Han Sen to a big meal to thank him for his support for the crew.

What do you say this movie is called?
It's called Wolf Warrior!
After finishing his trip to Dongda, Han Sen returned to Memphis.

His fourth and final season with the Grizzlies, or the season he wants to win the most, is about to begin.

In late September, the Grizzlies' training camp opened as usual.

However, on the first day of the training camp, some problems occurred.

This was the first time that Hansen saw that the first day of training camp was not full since he came to the Grizzlies.

Neither Gay nor Gasol Jr. were present in the starting five.

After asking Joegel, I found out that they all had different reasons.

Gay sprained his foot because he had too much fun in the summer. Although it is not a serious problem, he will not be able to return until the regular season.

Gasol Jr. will arrive two days later because he is a little tired after playing in the European Championships.

Among the people who arrived, Randolph was as fat as a ball.

It's not just Randolph. Players like Faried and Carter have all gained some weight.

Obviously, while Hansen was working hard this summer, many other Grizzlies players were enjoying life.

In other words, although it came a little late, the problems that the Lakers had at the beginning still appeared in the Grizzlies.

Hansen shouted that he wanted to create a dynasty. That was his pursuit as a superstar, just like Kobe. But for the rest of the team, winning two championships in a row was enough to satisfy them.

The two sides of the matter have also begun to emerge. Originally, everyone had long-term contracts which were stable, but now they have turned into fixed rotations.

The situation on the first day also reminded Hansen that the NBA has such a long history, but there are only two dynasties.

The third year is destined to be a season of internal and external troubles for every team.

Joerger obviously realized that the momentum was not good, and he made some mobilization efforts to the players after the first day of training.

But the effect is not good.

That kind of relaxed state, which was very similar to that of the French after winning two consecutive championships, cannot be achieved by just saying a few words.

After the first day of training camp, everyone else left and Han Sen sat alone in the training hall for a long time.

He realized that if he continued in this state, no matter how much he did personally, it would be futile just like Kobe did in the past.

On the second day of training, the players' condition was almost the same as on the first day.

Hansen made a great pass during a fast break, but Faried was a little distracted and didn't catch the ball.

Just before Farid made his statement with a smile, Hansen called a halt to the game.

Then, in front of everyone, Hansen spoke to Farid sternly: "You must catch the ball I passed to you. If you can't catch it next time, you will be fired." Farid's smile froze, and the other players on the team looked at each other in bewilderment.

"Is Han always so strict?" Even Lewis, who was off the court, couldn't help but turn to Sacre and ask.

Sacre shook his head. He was also confused. After being in Grizzlies for so long, this was the first time he saw Hansen being so strict.

However, as the game progressed, the players gradually discovered Han Sen's differences.

Han Sen was stricter than ever before, even when Randolph lost his defensive position, he was scolded by Han Sen.

Not only in words, Han Sen also used his body language to increase the intensity of the confrontation.

In other words, Han Sen's words and body language made the intensity of the training match almost as intense as that of the regular season.

Maybe Han Sen just encountered something unpleasant today?
This was what the other players initially thought, but later in the training camp, they discovered that Hansen had been doing that on the court.

That finally led to a conflict.

Farid expressed his dissatisfaction after being scolded by Hansen for his butter hands.

"I already know that. I will do better next time."

Han Sen didn't waste any more time and just signaled him to leave.

Farid is a troublemaker himself. He walked off the court angrily. When he sat down, he picked up the towel on the stool and threw it on the ground, obviously not convinced.

At this time, Han Sen said to everyone else, "If I don't do well, you can treat me the same way. But if you don't do well, you'll have to sit still on the sidelines unless you can beat me."

After Han Sen said this, everyone understood the difference of Han Sen this season.

Although this change was a little difficult to adapt to, no one dared to speak up.

After all, the Grizzlies' past success was all due to Hansen.

And Han Sen's words were very clear. He was leading by example, not bullying, and he even gave conditions.

But who can defeat Han Sen?
After this brief conflict, the Grizzlies' training quality improved significantly.

However, the price is that the players inevitably feel a little more distant from Hansen off the court.

Han Sen didn't care, or rather, he was mentally prepared for this after making the decision.

After the training, he returned to the locker room and asked Faried to go with him.

This caused the other team members to look at each other in confusion.

Farid was also a little nervous. When Hansen first communicated with him, he tried to persuade him with both emotion and reason, but if he really was unreasonable, there was nothing he could do.

But what he didn't expect was that Han Sen actually took him to the mall and let him pick out a big gold chain by himself, spending 3 US dollars.

When he got back in the car, he still didn't quite understand.

"Kenneth, you will have a chance to renew your contract after next season. You need to show a sense of urgency and perform better." Only Hansen and the management knew that he would leave the team after a year. He couldn't tell his teammates about this because the morale of the team would be lost if he did.

Farid looked ashamed after hearing this.

It turned out that Han Sen's strictness was for his own good. After winning two championships, he almost forgot that he was still a rookie.

Because of Hansen's strictness and the way he led by example, the Grizzlies' pre-game training camp was loose at first and then tight, and the final intensity was even higher than in previous years.

However, the team still faces difficulties.

Gay will miss the season opener against the Heat due to injury, Billups is also plagued by injuries, and the team's only backup point guard is West.

In addition, it is still unknown how much impact the [vertical jump rule] will have on the Grizzlies, so the Grizzlies' start to this season is more difficult than in previous years.

This problem was also shown in the preseason.

The preseason games are actually all about rotation and bench, and this year the Grizzlies lost 7 out of 2 games.

Before the regular season started, Stan, as an official, evaluated the strength of each team in the new season.

The Heat hold the top spot for the second consecutive year.

Although they lost to the Grizzlies in the finals last year, that was largely because the Heat consumed too much energy in the regular season. They will definitely learn from their mistakes and make adjustments. In addition, the introduction of new rules this year encourages outside players to break through, which is obviously more beneficial to the Heat team with better offense.

In addition, Durant showed improvement in his passing ability in the few playing times he had in the preseason.

Although he did not hold a training camp like Hansen, Durant was obviously not idle this past summer.

The Grizzlies, as a two-time champion team, ranked second.

Although Stan ranked the Grizzlies in this position, he still expressed great concerns because the new rules have a visibly large impact on the inside, and the Grizzlies' bench depth is also weakening.

"They have a chance to complete the dynasty, but how much of a chance they have is highly variable."

On October 10, the Grizzlies will host the Heat in their season opener at home.

This continuation of last season's finals attracted the attention of countless fans.

The FedEx Center was also packed.

The championship ring award ceremony will be held at the opening game.

When seeing the sparkling championship rings displayed in the center of the arena, the fans at the scene were excited and experienced the pleasure that only Bulls and Lakers fans have.

The last time they witnessed such a ceremony was a year ago, and it felt so good to always be the winner.

Of course, the happiest people are the Grizzlies players.

Carter couldn't hide the excitement in his eyes at this moment.

He had struggled for so many years without success, but he achieved it easily at the end of his career.

It turns out that people’s choices are more important than hard work.

When Thackeray came out, he couldn't help rubbing his hands excitedly.

His mind was now filled with scenes from last season's championship ring ceremony. At that time, he could only experience Han Sen's ring, but now he was about to have his own ring.

What's a little funny is that when he turned around and saw Lewis with the same look as last year, Thackeray turned around and said those familiar words: "Don't be envious, you will have it by this time next year."

Lewis was stunned for a moment, then he laughed, and when he looked back at the rings, the anticipation in his eyes became even stronger.

He is the most active among the new players of the Grizzlies, not only because he has not won a championship yet, but more importantly, he transferred from the Heat. He does not want to be like Hill, "abandoning the dark and joining the light" and finally becoming a "championship insulator."

This year's ring presentation ceremony was not as complicated as last year's. It was just a simple ring presentation.

However, as the leader of the team, Han Sen still had a chance to speak at the end.

Hansen thanked the fans for their continued support for the Grizzlies and ended with a very actionable statement:

"let's start!"

After the opening ceremony, the starting lineups of both sides were announced one after another.

Heat: Chalmers, Wade, Durant, Bosh, Perkins
Grizzlies: Conley, Hansen, Battier, Randolph, Gasol

Aside from Gay's absence, everything looks the same as last season's finals.

However, after both teams' starting players came on the court, Wade looked at Han Sen in front of him and felt a big difference.

Han Sen's expression was more serious than he had ever seen it before, as if he was about to kill someone.
