Basketball's No. 1 Anti-Fan

Chapter 289 History is rewritten tonight!

After the timeout, Spoelstra directly replaced all the main players.

He should have realized that his rotation did not keep up with Ma Long's rhythm. If he had replaced all the main players the moment Han Sen came on the court, the situation would not have changed so quickly.

But fortunately, there is still time.

The score difference is 6 points. As long as all the main players come back and maintain this score difference, the victory will still belong to the Heat.

Gasol came up and received the ball in the low post and attacked TT. Tucker moved back to help defend. He then passed the ball to Deng. Deng received the ball and encountered JR's help defense. He then passed the ball to Wade. Dellavedova had also switched defense.

Hansen took over the Cavaliers' offense tonight, which allowed the other Cavaliers players to devote a lot of their physical energy to the defensive end.

Especially Hansen's consecutive scores boosted the morale of the Cavaliers at this time.

The Heat's tactics couldn't be implemented and they could only rely on the abilities of their stars.

Wade fought against Dellavedova alone and broke into the inside, but what was unexpected was that under Dellavedova's defense, Wade's breakthrough shot actually missed!
First it was Cunningham, then Dellavedova. These role players of the Cavaliers, who were previously considered no different from air in the eyes of the outside world, stepped up one after another when the team needed them most after Irving was ruled out for the season.

They're definitely not that good, but they're not that bad either!
Of course, all of this comes from Han Sen.

It is an inherent human pattern that only when there is a leader in the team will the team gather closely around each other and play their respective roles.

The Cavaliers once again launched a defensive counterattack.

This time Han Sen's fast break layup was pulled down hard.

After he scored 2+1 in the previous game, the Heat now choose to foul and go all out.

JR stepped forward and confronted Dragic who committed a foul. The two of them butted their heads against each other and the atmosphere on the court began to become tense.

The Cavaliers don't want to lose, and the Heat can't afford to lose. It's impossible to play without sparks at this point.

Han Sen went to the free throw line. He was not affected by the conflict just now, or he did not have the energy to do those things now.

Two and a half minutes in the fourth quarter will not allow him to recover much energy, he needs to use all of it in the remaining games.

Amid the noise of interference from the crowd, Han Sen made two free throws.

The Cavaliers are not a very good defensive team, but their desire to win allowed them to play high-quality defense in the final quarter of the game. By continuously launching defensive counterattacks, they have now narrowed the gap to 4 points.

The 13-point gap in the final quarter was an insurmountable chasm, but 4 points was already a reachable difference.

At the critical moment, Durant finally picked up his death vest and made a direct mid-range shot against JR's assist defense.

If the tactics cannot be implemented, it all depends on the personal ability of the stars to solve the problem.

And when the offense and defense changed, at Spoelstra's signal, the Heat once again began to double-team Hansen.

At this stage, everyone's physical strength is declining, so the effect of attacking Hansen from both sides will be different.

It worked, as Hansen passed the ball, but Dellavedova failed to hit the three-pointer.

You can't ask a role player earning $100 million to do the work of a player with a maximum salary of $2000 million at a critical moment.

But! TT showed his technical characteristics and grabbed the offensive rebound!

And he immediately found Han Sen after grabbing the rebound.

Hansen also quickly cut into the basket. After receiving the pass from TT, he jumped sideways to avoid Gasol's assist defense and made a gliding layup.

The score difference returned to 4 points again, and Hansen had already scored his 56th point tonight!
The single-game scoring record for the playoffs, which was just set in the first round, was broken again in less than a month!
There are still more than 5 minutes left until the end of the game. If the game continues at this pace, it is a foregone conclusion that Hansen will become the third player in NBA history to score 60+.

He may even shake Jordan's position on this list.

Durant received the pass from Dragic and hit a mid-range shot against Tucker's defense.

The worst news for the Cavaliers is that Durant found his touch at the most critical moment.

The American Airlines Arena was in a frenzy.

Spoelstra also waved his fist and shouted excitedly in Durant's direction, which was rare.

Hansen has become Durant's nightmare over the years. Only by facing and defeating it can Durant truly achieve greatness.

Durant did it on the most crucial night.

In the Cavaliers' offense, Hansen changed to playing without the ball, but he was still double-teamed after receiving the ball. His physical strength declined, and he failed to hit the target despite the double-team.

After Gasol protected the defensive rebound, Spoelstra breathed a sigh of relief.

As long as Durant scores one more goal, the score difference will return to 8 points, and the momentum of the game will shift back to the Heat.

And from the fact that Han Sen’s shot just now missed, it can be seen that Han Sen’s physical strength is no longer enough.

"Come on! Heat!"

The cheers of Heat fans also began to be heard at the scene.

The last five minutes will be the Heat's harvest time.

At this time, Hansen switched defense to Durant.

This was not a show of bravery. After he discovered the Heat's defensive adjustments and that he did not have enough physical strength to support himself to perform efficiently, the most effective way was to score through defensive counterattacks like he did during the previous period of chasing points.

"Kevin, you can't beat me at all." After the confrontation, Hansen also started to trash talk Durant.

This made Durant's defense break instantly. Hansen always managed to hit his most painful spot with the simplest method.

He asked for the ball directly and then gestured for the team to move away. He also gestured for Gasol to go back when he set up a pick-and-roll.

He was in hot form right now, and not even Han Sen could stop him.

In a direct confrontation between the two MVPs, Durant chose to break through and make a quick stop jump shot after protecting the ball sideways.

Although the Heat have not been able to reach the top in recent years, Durant's personal strength is constantly improving.

His current playing style has somewhat reached the threshold of "the great way is simple".

However, Hansen was fully focused on the defensive end at this time and tapped the ball the moment Durant kicked the ball.

The best way to defend Durant is always to irritate him and then attack his lower third.

No matter how Durant changes, this combo always works.

After Durant's rhythm was interrupted, his shot went wide of the basket.

TT secured the defensive rebound.

The Cavaliers once again launched a defensive counterattack.

Han Sen's advancement attracted almost all the defense to his side. When he reached the free throw line in the frontcourt, he passed the ball to JR who was following up without looking at anyone. The latter took the ball and shot a three-pointer.

"Shh!"

Accompanied by a crisp sound of the ball entering the net, the basketball went straight through the net!

You can't ask role players to do the work of superstars in critical moments, but you can trust JR in critical moments.

JR is not crazy, he will be an All-Star every day!
104:107.

The Cavaliers narrowed the gap to 3 points in one round.

The expected 8 points turned into 3 points. Spoelstra could no longer remain calm and called another timeout.

During this timeout, Han Sen sat on the sidelines, breathing heavily.

He could no longer control his breathing steadily.

At this point, the game was no longer a test of his physical strength, but a mental torture.

Garnett handed him a new piece of gum.

Han Sen spat out the old one, drank some water, and took the new one, chewing it while adjusting his breathing.

At this moment, Lu's voice came:
"There are two most important days in a person's life. One is the day you are born, and the other is the day you know why you were born. In my opinion, you were born to win!"

There is no need to arrange any tactics at this time, because the only tactic that can work for the Cavaliers is defensive counterattack, and to do that requires high morale. Lu's chicken soup at this time is the most useful.

This famous quote from Mark Twain, after being processed by Lu and used at this moment, made the Cavaliers players excited.

After the timeout, Gasol assisted at the free throw line and the Heat resumed their tactics.

What Spoelstra needs at this time is the success rate of offense.

But the defensive intensity displayed by the Cavaliers at this time was simply shocking. Each of their players was like they were injected with chicken blood, and their defense was airtight.

With Wade's missed jump shot, the Heat failed to score after the timeout.

Hansen recovered and grabbed the defensive rebound, and the Cavaliers once again launched a defensive counterattack.

At this moment, the five people on the field were like running antelopes, rushing towards them quickly.

The Heat's defense was clearly a bit behind.

The fans at the scene didn't know what was going on. They just thought the Cavaliers were going crazy. Hansen received a pass from Dellavedova, and when he saw Dragic trying to pull him down again, he held his breath and pushed the opponent away, then used force...

"Oh!"

He slammed the ball into the basket.

The referee blew the whistle, indicating that Dragic, who had fallen to the ground, had committed a defensive foul.

The fans at the scene were stunned.

Han Sen can still dunk?!

After landing, Hansen used the Death Stare on Dragic on the ground.

When he turned around, he took a deep breath.

The attack just now drained away all his energy that he had just restored.

But it is necessary.

It was obvious that Hansen's dunk brought the Heat's morale to the bottom.

Because the Cavaliers are really about to tie the game!

Hansen went to the free throw line.

There was a lot of booing at the scene.

This scene was familiar to Game 1, and that was the sound made by Miami fans out of fear.

Han Sen adjusted his breathing and made the free throw.

This 2+1 score brought his score to 59 points.

There were only three and a half minutes left before the end of the game.

"No one on Earth can stop Han from scoring 60 points!" Barkley shouted in the commentary booth.

However, what was unexpected was that neither side scored in the next two minutes.

Similar to G1, after the two sides tied, they all tried their best to defend. The Heat also accelerated their retreat after missing the shot, preventing the Cavaliers from scoring by counterattacking.

In the last minute and a half, Gasol's strong attack in the low post missed, and his tip-in also missed.

But the referee's whistle sounded at this time, TT was called for a defensive foul, and Gasol got two free throws.

TT was very excited. He didn't commit any foul just now.

Han Sen saw the referee's expression and pulled him back.

Just call the foul at this time. If you are called for a technical foul, all your previous efforts will be in vain.

But after pulling TT back, Han Sen walked up to the referee himself:

"If you're going to call it, make it consistent."

Han Sen didn't say anything to the referee when the foul was not called or the opponent fouled him hard, but he knew that the referee's decision was very important at this time.

After adjusting his breathing, Gasol made both free throws and the Heat regained the lead.

Malone called a timeout.

The current situation is very unfavorable to the Cavaliers, because the previous call not only gave the Heat two free throws, but also forced them to switch to a positional battle.

In positional warfare, the Heat will definitely double-team Hansen.

Of course, Ma Long's pause was not only because he wanted to fight a positional battle, but also because he needed this pause to give Han Sen a break.

After the timeout, the Cavaliers made a substitution, with Williams replacing Dellavedova.

In the last minute, the Cavaliers came up and launched an unexpected positional attack.

Williams holds the ball, Hansen sets up a pick-and-roll.

This scene made commentator O'Neal feel dazed, because this was the tactic of the Cavaliers team back then.

At that time, Hansen was just a "3D player" in James' mouth, and he was more likely to play pick-and-roll for James or Williams.

Hansen has rarely been used as a pick-and-roll man since joining the Grizzlies, but his pick-and-roll ability has not declined.

After breaking the ball, he quickly shot out to take away Dragic, and Williams also took the opportunity to break into the inside.

Just when the Heat thought Malone was going to catch them by surprise, Williams turned around and passed the ball to Hansen on the outside after breaking through.

Han Sen caught the ball, and Wade rushed towards Han Sen.

Although there was a deviation in the defensive judgment, the Heat's defensive attention on Hansen will not decrease.

But Han Sen's choice at this time was completely unexpected.

Looking at Wade flying towards him, he neither forced a shot against the opponent as he was most used to, nor did he dribble and shoot after shaking off the opponent. Instead, he seemed to hesitate and waited for Wade for a while. After Wade flew towards him, he forced a shot against Wade, and then... caused Wade to foul!
Wade had never expected Han Sen to make this choice, and by the time he wanted to retract his body, it was too late.

The referee blew the whistle, indicating that Wade committed a three-point foul, and Hansen got three free throws.

This wave of operations stunned everyone.

But this is not just about Han Sen's ability as a super scorer, but also the meaning of what he just said.

You can blow the whistle on the Cavaliers' body hair, that's the instruction given to you and there's no problem with that, but you should also give the Cavaliers the whistle they deserve.

Of course, Han Sen's choice is also very smart, because his current physical condition makes his long-range shooting accuracy unstable, and having the opportunity to go to the free throw line is the best option.

Hansen's three free throw opportunities.

At this time, the scene was filled with shouts of "RefreeSucks".

But that didn't change anything, Han Sen made all three free throws.

In other words, although he doesn't have much physical strength, free throws basically rely entirely on psychological quality and muscle memory, which he has in abundance.

These three free throws brought Han Sen's score to 62 points!
He officially became a member of the NBA playoff single-game 60+ club, and has the opportunity to break Jordan's 63-point all-time scoring record!
In the last 40 seconds, Spoelstra did not call a timeout.

Because he also realized that the pause was giving Han Sen a chance to rest.

He made tactical gestures to Dragic on the court.

This move was effective. While the Cavaliers' defense was still unstable, Durant broke into the inside, successfully caused Tucker to commit a defensive foul, and went to the free throw line.

The scene was exceptionally quiet, and Durant did not show mercy at the critical moment. He made both free throws after adjustments.

110 to 111, the Heat took the lead again with 22 seconds left in the game.

The Heat didn't call for a timeout, but the Cavaliers' timeout had already run out.

Williams was dribbling the ball forward, and at this time there were basically no fans sitting in the stadium.

The score difference is 1 point, there is no draw, the victory or defeat all depends on the last attack and defense of both teams.

Han Sen chose to go for the ball from the high post on the left side. At this time, he would definitely be double-teamed while attacking with the ball.

Deng behind him tried to go around, but Han Sen's positioning and strength pinned him down.

Williams lobbed the ball in, and the moment Hansen received the ball, Dragic also shrank towards him, but was forced back by Hansen's pass to the middle, because Williams had already made a tactical cut from the middle after passing the ball.

The next moment after forcing Dragic back, before the double-team from the strong side could come, Hansen turned around and shot.

He did not choose to break through and cause damage like Durant did just now.

The reason why he was able to foul Wade just now was because that kind of ball was a normal foul, but if he really wanted to cause damage, he would be putting his fate in the hands of the referee.

Han Sen turned very quickly. Although Deng reacted, he was still obviously slow when he pounced.

And more importantly, Han Sen jumped high enough.

When Han Sen made the shot, the only thing in front of him was the basket in the distance.

With his arms straight and his wrist flicked, the ball flew out of his hands.

That's something he's done countless times in practice, and it's something he's done over and over in games.

It has nothing to do with physical ability, it's instinct.

As the basketball got closer to the basket, the eyes of everyone at the scene became wider and wider.

They knew Han Sen would make the shot.

"Shh!"

With a crisp sound, Hansen scored his 64th point of the night, and NBA history was rewritten at this moment!
