Basketball's No. 1 Anti-Fan

Chapter 237: There are not many injuries left for James

Han Sen was also stunned when he saw this scene.

Although New York fans are the kind of people who would boo at the draft if Porzingis was chosen, James is Nike's top brand after all. Doesn't he have any face?

But this really can't be blamed on anyone else, because the Knicks were one of the teams James himself listed as his favorite next home, and the Thunder also fulfilled his wish.

In other words, you choose your idol yourself!
However, there are actually two ways to understand booing.

One is naturally dissatisfaction with the players' performance, and the other is the hope to use this to spur the players to perform well.

New York fans' thoughts at this time should be more inclined to the second understanding.

Han Sen made some very harsh words before the game. Even if you can't beat him, you can't let him bully you.

After all, you are Nike's top brand, the chosen one, the little emperor, and the one that ESPN calls as good as Jordan!
James also looked aggrieved at this time.

Do you think he doesn't want to?
If he didn't want to, why would he hold the ball and play when he saw Han Sen defending him at the beginning of the game?
He just can't do anything wrong!

Nine minutes into the quarter, both teams began to rotate, and James and Hansen were substituted off the court for rest.

James' stats before leaving the court were 0 points, 2 rebounds, 3 turnovers and 1 foul.

In Game 4 of the Thunder's game against the Grizzlies in last year's playoffs, he was injured and retired after playing for half the game. His stats before retirement were 6 points, 7 rebounds and 4 assists, breaking the single-game record of 8 points in the finals against the Mavericks. It looks like he will be able to continue his breakthrough tonight.

At the beginning of the second quarter, James came on as a substitute in a staggered manner.

But when he saw James come on the court, Hansen also stood up from the bench.

We agreed to lock it, how can we give you a discount?
James, who had just stepped onto the court, heard a short whistle behind him. He turned around and saw Han Sen was also about to enter the court. He finally couldn't help but swear.

However, perhaps because he is more accustomed to playing during off-peak travel times, James adjusted his offensive thinking after coming on the court.

He went straight to the three-second zone to take position.

Han Sen's advantage in defending him lies in his speed. In the three-second zone, as long as he receives the ball, he can use the size difference to launch an attack directly without dribbling, and Han Sen's speed advantage will disappear.

I have to say that James' choice was very correct.

However, when he saw James doing this, Hansen directly chose to defend around the front.

Hansen had already demonstrated his top-notch stealing ability, so Felton didn't dare to pass the ball in easily.

James tried to go back when he saw this, but Hansen wouldn't let him do that.

The two fought a battle for position.

However, James, who clearly had an advantage in size, failed to gain the upper hand.

After all, James is not an inside player, and his positioning skills are not that strong, but more importantly, [Dream Dance] has greatly improved Hansen's positioning talent.

In the end, James finally got into position, not because he finally gained the upper hand, but because the two of them forced their way from the three-second zone to the high position, and Han Sen no longer needed to go around in this position.

Seeing this, James cut back to the basket, and this time his cut was done beautifully.

However, Felton's passing timing was predicted by Hansen, and the ball was completely intercepted by Hansen when it was passed in.

Directly or indirectly, James has given Hansen 4 steals!

After all, they are former teammates, and the relationship between them is beyond words.

Seeing that the two points he had in hand were missed again, James finally couldn't hold it anymore.

He directly pulled Hansen who was trying to steal the ball, and was called for a foul by the referee.

"Did you go to a party last night? You don't even have the energy to commit a foul?" Han Sen turned around and trash-talked James.

But what he didn't expect was that James' cheeks puffed up after he sprayed him.

He just said it casually, but he didn't expect that he really guessed it right?
But it's not surprising. This is New York. Not to mention normal parties, even abnormal parties are possible.

Throughout the first half, under Hansen's careful defense, James only relied on the help of the referee and free throws for technical fouls to score 4 points.

4 points, 6 rebounds, 5 assists in the first half, and no points in running games.

If the playoffs were just like Green, then this is the data that is more real than Green himself.

James' performance also caused the Knicks to fall behind the Grizzlies by 15+ points at halftime.

"This reminds me of something." Before the end of the first half, the commentator also talked about an incident that happened to Jordan in the past.

In the 1998 Eastern Conference Finals, the Bulls and the Pacers met and the two sides went into a game seven. Miller scored 11 points on 7 of 22 shots in the first three quarters under Harper's defense. He was in hot form. In the fourth quarter, Jordan took the initiative to switch to Miller, and then defended Miller to only one shot opportunity, and he missed all three shots.

"When they don't want you to score, you really can't score."

Previously, Hansen’s performance in defending Wade and Curry may not have been so shocking, but tonight, everyone saw how terrifying the game could become when he defended with all his strength.

James still played in the second half, not because he was tougher than in last year's playoffs, but because a score of 4 points was really inconsequential.

However, in the second half, James quickly scored a goal in open play.

After being forced into a corner by Han Sen, James finally used his ultimate move.

He simply didn't defend Gay, allowing Gay to attack the inside, and then ran to the center line himself.

After the Grizzlies' attack failed, he was already waving at his teammates at midfield.

Not only the Grizzlies team, but even the fans at the scene were stunned by this scene.

Can you still play like this?
Han Sen was speechless as he watched this, because James was not defending him on the defensive end, and he forgot about this move for a moment.

But it's only James. If any other player gives up on defense and goes for a fast break, even if he is not substituted out by the coach, he will be scolded by the team leader.

The most outrageous thing is that after James took the ball and fast-forwarded to the frontcourt to complete a signature tomahawk slam dunk, he roared at the fans on the sidelines to celebrate.

This immediately silenced the New York fans.

Xiaodao pulls the butt, open your eyes!
From the shocking kneeling last season to the unguarded fast break this season, it is true that as long as one is shameless, he is invincible.

However, in the next round, when he tried the same trick again, he failed to succeed.

Because Han Sen also stepped on the three-point line in advance.

The Grizzlies are the offensive team, and as long as Hansen does not participate in the offense, he can freely choose his position.

Moreover, his pursuit and defense without the ball brought the speed increase brought by [Death Coil] to the extreme.

James quickly broke through to the front court and jumped up to perform another tomahawk slam dunk, but Hansen jumped up right after him and slapped the ball from behind, sending it flying out of the court.

Not surprisingly, New York fans are already cheering for Hansen.

If James could be traded for Hansen, any hesitation on their part would be disrespectful to Hansen.

But it's not their fault. They booed James before in order to encourage him to catch up, but now instead of him catching up, he fed them a mouthful of shit.

In this case, they didn't cheer for Hansen as MVP simply because the ball just now was not a free throw.

Hansen focused his main energy on the defensive end tonight and was unable to impact Madison's scoring list, but he definitely left an indelible mark in this basketball mecca in his own way tonight.

After three quarters, James finally scored 10 points. The last 4 points were not from field goals, but from the referee's help to get his score to double digits.

But after three quarters, the Knicks were already 25+ points behind and the game had completely lost its suspense.

At the beginning of the fourth quarter, James was ready to continue to come off the bench, but when he saw Hansen standing up regardless of the game entering garbage time, he turned around and went back to the bench.

He left the court early in the fourth quarter.

In the end, the Grizzlies defeated the Knicks 102-84 on the road.

韩森三节贡献了24分6板4助攻10抢断2盖帽。

James scored 10 points, 11 rebounds, 5 assists and 6 turnovers.

Hansen and Joerger attended the post-match press conference together.

"You got 10 steals tonight, a career high, but it only took you three quarters. How did you do it?" Han Sen's steal data tonight was so impressive that it was hard not to notice.

"You should mention that five of those steals were on LeBron."

Han Sen's answer caused a stir at the press conference.

But this is not the end. Han Sen's words are just a prelude, because he has another sentence.

"LeBron should improve his ball handling skills. He can't get rid of the defender if he always dribbles in place."

This press conference was a complete disaster.

There are some things that everyone knows, but that doesn't mean they can be talked about.

If it were someone else, Nike would have banned them directly.

But now this person is Han Sen, UA's top star and two-time FMVP. You can't do anything about what he says.

Especially now that Stern is about to retire, he will not take action even if Nike has an idea.

Han Sen's two sentences were explosive enough, but what the reporters never expected was that it was not the end.

"LeBron should have scored 2 points tonight, and the remaining 8 points were given by the referee."

Han Sen's words about what 2 meant left the reporters dumbfounded.

But the fact is that James only scored one goal in open play tonight, and he did it by giving up on defense.

Han Sen's words were also a way of indirectly emphasizing what he said before the game.

If anyone doesn't understand the concept of lockout, then what he did tonight was the best demonstration.

At the end of the press conference, a reporter from ESPN mentioned James' performance tonight when asking questions, saying that James' poor performance was affected by his knee injury and that he left the game due to injury in the fourth quarter.

Facing the reporter's explanation, Han Sen just smiled faintly and said:

"There aren't many injuries left for LeBron."

Elbows, groins, ankles, knees…what’s next?

After the press conference, Hansen’s social media became a battlefield.

James fans are really broken.

Even if Han Sen had attacked James before, it was rather tactful.

For example, when people said before that James was not as good as Gay, that was just a gimmick of taking things out of context.

But this time, Han Sen started the fight right at the head of the enemy!
Han Sen’s number of haters is increasing rapidly, and his social media is also very lively.

Han Mi will not let Zhan Mi act so unbridled.

"Han is just showing concern for his former teammate. KD has developed his passing ability in just one season. Is it difficult for LeBron to develop his dribbling ability? He can't be worse than KD, right?"

"We are actually very grateful to LeBron. After all, as Han said, without LeBron's five steals, he would never have been able to get 5 steals in three quarters."

"LeBron has so many injuries, but he can still produce superstar-level numbers in the NBA. He is truly a physical talent at the historical level in the NBA."

……

Han Sen found that as his fan group grew, there were signs of "talent emerging".

Maybe there are many people here who were originally his haters, but were gradually turned into fans by his performance.

It seems that the paradox is really true: the more fans you have, the more haters you have; the more haters you have, the more fans you have.

But no matter what, the [decapitation operation] was very successful.

With this commotion by him, whether it is caused by firing or public relations, tomorrow's news is bound to be very lively.

And no matter what the final result is, James' status at Nike will inevitably continue to decline.

He is also looking forward to how things will develop between Nike and James next summer.

After finishing the game with the Knicks, Hansen also returned to Memphis.

After he came back, he found that the UA director had not left yet.

In addition to praising him for a job well done, the UA director also mentioned another thing.

As the sales of sneakers continued to increase, UA also set up a research and development laboratory step by step last year, and now there have been new breakthroughs in sneaker technology.

Taking advantage of this important juncture next summer, they are preparing to launch a new series of sneakers for higher-end users.

At this moment, I am discussing with Han Sen the design direction of the sneakers' exterior and the naming of the series.

After all, the success of the previous generation of HS Terminator series originated from Han Sen’s suggestions.

Hansen doesn’t have an idea for the name of the new series yet, but he does have some personal ideas for the design of the sneakers’ appearance.

In the opening game against the Heat, he was ultimately unable to help the team win the game due to physical problems. After that, he began to think about how to improve.

Because there is no direct way to improve physical talents in the black fan system, he can only find references from reality.

Then he found another way to solve the physical problem: simplicity is the best.

To put it simply, it means simplifying the actions on the field and using the least amount of physical energy to complete what you want to do in each round.

Of course, all of this has a foundation. Without the talents accumulated previously, it would be empty talk to say that the great way is simple.

But at least now he can do it on the court.

Extending to sneakers, the classic black and white style is a more suitable design.

For example, AJ was originally in black and white, and after many years it is still a favorite among sneaker collectors.

Of course, the specific design needs to revolve around a theme. After all, black and white sneakers are very common, so this requires another opportunity.
