Basketball's No. 1 Anti-Fan

Chapter 279 2014~2015 Season Ends
It is now early April, and after a long five and a half months of competition, the curtain of the 4~2014 season has officially fallen.

This has been a season of ups and downs. Among the three super teams that Nike worked hard to build during the offseason, only the Heat's performance met expectations.

However, the performances of the two UA teams were even more amazing than expected.

The Warriors started the season on a tear and that performance lasted all season.

They eventually won 67 games, breaking the team's record for wins and easily topping the league standings.

Curry averaged 24.6 points, 4.3 rebounds and 8.1 assists per game, with a 44.8-point shooting percentage of %. He is considered a favorite for the regular season MVP.

Kerr also became the coach with the most wins in his rookie season in NBA history.

Kerr's basketball philosophy was not new, but it met Curry and this era of rule changes, which ultimately led to the Warriors' success.

The second team in the Western Conference belongs to the Lakers. Thanks to their efforts in the second half of the season, they finally achieved a record of 58 wins.

At the beginning of the season, some fans were worried about Kobe's health, and this reached a peak after Varejao was injured.

But in the end Kobe persevered. He played 70 games this season, averaging 25.6 points, 5.7 rebounds, 4.6 assists and a shooting percentage of 46.3%.

詹姆斯出战69场，场均26.4分7.4板7.4助攻，投篮命中率48.8%。

The Rockets ranked third with 56 wins. Although Bosh was ruled out for the season, the Rockets still maintained this position thanks to the performance of their backcourt duo.

The Thunder are fourth with 52 wins.

The Spurs are fifth with 55 wins.

The Grizzlies are sixth with 55 wins.

Although the Thunder's record is not as good as the Spurs and Grizzlies, they are still in the upper half according to the rule that the first in the division must be in the top four in the league.

This unreasonable result also triggered discussions among fans about the competition system.

Just like the 232 format of the finals was limited by the traffic level at the time, this format was due to the limitations of the live broadcast conditions at the time.

Now that the conditions for live broadcasting are well developed, fans are also calling for changes to the competition system.

The Trail Blazers with 51 wins and the Mavericks with 50 wins ranked seventh and eighth respectively.

After Hansen went to the East, the Grizzlies' competitiveness declined, but it did not affect the still fierce competition in the West.

In the Eastern Conference, the Heat topped the Eastern Conference with 62 wins.

Durant averaged 28.2 points, 7.4 rebounds and 5 assists per game, with a shooting percentage of 50.3%. He is also considered a hot candidate for this year's regular season MVP.

The Hawks are second in the Eastern Conference with 60 wins.

The Eagles had a hot streak at the end of the season, winning 12 games in a row.

The Cavaliers finished third with 58 wins.

Hansen had the most explosive season in his career.

他赛季场均得到31.5分6.2板10.3助攻3抢断1.4盖帽，投篮命中率51.6%，三分命中率38.5%。

He also won the season's scoring title, assists title and steals title!

The last person to do that... sorry didn't.

The most common person to win both the assists title and the steals title is 5 people in history. The most well-known one is Paul, who is still working hard for the Western Conference Finals.

Jordan and Iverson won both the scoring title and the steals title.

There is only one person who has won both the scoring title and the assists title, Nate Archibald, nicknamed "Elf" and only 1 meters tall.

他在1972~1973赛季场均能够得到34分11.4助攻，只不过当时的辛辛那提皇家队排名第11未能进入季后赛。

Hansen is the first player in history to win the scoring title, assist title and steal title in the same season!
So even though the Cavaliers don't have the best record, Hansen is still a hot candidate for this year's regular season MVP.

The Nets ranked fourth with 51 wins.

The Raptors are fifth with 49 wins.

The Bulls are sixth with 48 wins.

The Wizards ranked seventh with 46 wins.

The Bucks are ranked eighth with 41 wins.

The Cavaliers will face the Bulls in the first round.

The day after the regular season ended and the day before the playoffs began, the Cavaliers conducted preparatory training at Quicken Loans Arena.

The game will be played in Cleveland because of the home-field advantage.

Garnett's trash talk echoed in the arena, and the Cavaliers had a lot of problems during training today.

By the second half of the training, Garnett had become much quieter because he realized that it was not a problem of attitude, but that the players were too tense.

This is understandable. Even if Garnett is counted as a starter, he and Hansen are the only ones among the Cavaliers' starting five who have played in the playoffs.

Players like Irving, Thompson, and Tucker are all rookies in the playoffs.

This is just like discussing the human body structure with a girl for the first time. The nervousness is uncontrollable.

After the training was over, when Hansen was sitting on the sidelines to rest, Cunningham sat next to him.

The old Cavaliers also have playoff experience.

During Hansen's rookie season, they also made it to the Eastern Conference Finals.

However, what Cunningham was talking about with Hansen at this moment was not tomorrow's game, but the MVP.

The MVP selection results are usually announced after the first round. If Han Sen can win, he will achieve the honor of winning the MVP for two consecutive years.

Even if we add the adjective "different team" to this achievement, he would be the first person in history.

"If you have the time, why not practice with me for a while longer?" Han Sen said as he stood up again.

Of all the NBA honors, the only one he cares about is probably the FMVP, because winning it is equivalent to winning the championship, and it also means that he has made the greatest contribution to the team in the game.

As for other things, take the MVP for example. O'Neal only won one MVP in his career. Do you think he is not as good as Malone and Nash who won two MVPs?
So it doesn't matter if he doesn't win the MVP this year. Of course, winning it would be a good thing too. It's not just a matter of honor, but also about the Cavaliers' regular season record.

He won the MVP in fourth place. Given his current bad relationship with the media, the rhythm will definitely be all over the place, and he should also gain a wave of black fans.

In contrast, he is more concerned about the playoffs against the Bulls.

The Cavaliers and the Bulls are both in the Central Division. They played against each other four times in the regular season, with a record of 4 wins and 2 losses.

The Bulls performed very well at the beginning of the season, but then Rose was injured frequently, and Butler was also injured for more than a dozen games because he was tortured too hard by Thibodeau.

But now, Rose and Butler are healthy again, and they are the toughest team in the lower half.

While Hansen and Cunningham were training, the Bulls also arrived at the Quicken Loans Arena and conducted a pre-game open practice in the training hall. After the training, Rose and Butler, two highly-watched players, did not participate in the interview, but Noah stayed.

Noah snatched the DPOY award from Hansen last season and was selected to the All-NBA First Team, which was the most glorious season of his career.

He is in great form this season and is still able to contribute 10+10+5 data. He is the only player on the Bulls to be selected as an All-Star this season.

He also showed great confidence in the upcoming game against the Cavaliers.

"A lot of people don't realize that this is the first time since 2011 that we've been healthy in the playoffs. I don't care what people think, but I think we're the best team. Yes, that's what I mean. As long as we stay healthy, we can beat anyone, including Hansen."

“Like when you won DPOY last season?”

"Yeah, just like I did last season."

Because of Rose's injury, the Bulls, which amazed everyone four years ago and carried the label of "revival", began to gradually fade out of the public eye, but Noah's words drew many people's attention back.

Maybe the Bulls can really do something this year.

After all, although Hansen is strong, the Cavaliers are visibly weak.

Apart from a No. 1 pick who occasionally shines but is not worthy of the title overall, and a Garnett who is old enough to retire, people who don't pay close attention to this team would not think of who else they have.

Maybe JR is half, but he is remembered more for the shit he did.

After finishing the extra training, Han Sen went to participate in the radio program "Zero Distance with Han Sen".

Since the show took up his time every week, he initially just dealt with it.

But as he participated more and more times, he found that this thing was not only very interesting, but also a great way to generate income from black fans.

Because the people who appear on the radio station are not just Cavaliers fans, but fans from all over the country and even all over the world, so the situations encountered are also varied.

Some people pay attention to his life off the court, and life outside the spotlight is always the most curious.

There were also stories about people confessing their love for him on the radio, talking about their love for him, and hanging his posters on the walls of their homes.

Of course, there are people who talk trash to him on the radio.

The opportunity to access the radio station is rare. It takes a long time to connect and requires a bit of luck and even disguise. But some people are willing to waste the opportunity in a process that will be cut off as soon as the F is opened.

"You'll never be better than Michael! Fark Hansen!"

For example, today, the first person to come up was a middle-aged fan who looked like a Chicago gangster.

After being cut off repeatedly, Han Sen also responded on the radio.

"Chicago will never have another Jordan. They will never be able to revive. This is the cruel reality."

Today's black fan value target has been achieved again.

The second caller was a fan from Memphis who wanted to know when the Hansen statue would be completed.

“Maybe this summer.”

Originally, Hansen thought that Pera was just using his name to curry favor with Memphis fans, but he didn't expect that Pera would contact him soon and invite him to participate in the statue design in the summer.

Although he had a bad experience with Haisley before, he was still moved by Pera's sincerity, and his time in Memphis was generally nostalgic, so he did not refuse.

It is also very meaningful to be able to erect a sculpture before retiring.

The third person who connected was a Hansen fan from Los Angeles. This may sound a bit abstract, but it does show Hansen's current influence to some extent.

He was asking Hansen what he thought of the first-round matchup against the Bulls.

Before Hansen answered the question, the host also reminded him of the first-hand information he had obtained about Noah's remarks.

"Regarding Noah, I heard a story about him and KG. He was a fan of KG before he entered the league. When he first appeared on the court, he wanted to get close to KG. KG responded to him, 'Who do you think you are talking to?' That night, KG sprayed trash talk at him all night."

"So you're going to trash talk him too?" the fan asked.

"No, if he had said 'hello, sir' to me, I would have been more gentle."

After finishing the radio show, Hansen went home to rest.

What he didn't expect was that when he woke up the next day, a sentence on social media went viral.

That's coming from a Cleveland fan who, in addition to being a fan, is also a science fiction fan.

He quoted a line from the novel "The Three-Body Problem": What's your business if I destroy you?

"The Three-Body Problem" is a science fiction novel written by Liu Da for the University of Tokyo, but it is very widely circulated overseas.

This sentence perfectly matches what Hansen said on the radio last night, because from Hansen's answer, it can be heard that whether Noah says they have to beat Hansen like he is doing now, or says "Hello, sir", Hansen will lead the Cavaliers to victory in the end.

On the day of the game, one hour before the game started, the attendance rate of Quicken Loans Arena was close to 80%.

The reason they appeared here was that after the All-Star Game this season, Hansen moved the Grizzlies' pre-game dunk contest warm-up method to Cleveland.

This will not only ensure the attendance rate of Quick Loans Arena, but also give back to the fans after Hansen missed the All-Star Slam Dunk Contest.

In addition to Hansen, the Cavaliers also have JR, nicknamed Highlight Jordan, and the matchup between the two is also very exciting.

In the end, Hansen stunned everyone with a scorpion dunk and successfully completed today's warm-up.

Not long after, players from both sides arrived at the stadium and the opening ceremony began.

The Bulls took the lead as the visiting team: Rose, Butler, Covington, Gibson, Noah

When Noah came on the court, there was a burst of boos from the audience.

However, Noah had a very good attitude and clapped loudly after hearing the boos.

It can be seen that although Garnett's scolding of him was inhumane, it also made him grow up early.

After the Bulls comes the Cavaliers.

Before the DJ started introducing the band, the fans' excited cheers could be heard.

When Han Sen finally came on stage, the Quicken Loans Arena was in a state of complete chaos.

Over the past four years, especially last season, the Cavaliers have given it their all, but in the end they were just barely on the doorstep of the playoffs.

Now, they finally came in!

Cavaliers' starting lineup: Irving, Hansen, Tucker, TT, Garnett
With the experience of Bargnani, Malone was very cautious in using Garnett and basically arranged him to play as a substitute.

But tonight, perhaps inspired by what Hansen said on the radio last night, Malone also played psychological warfare.

Noah was still resentful of being criticized by Garnett, so it was a good opportunity for Garnett to match up against him at the beginning of the game.
