Basketball's No. 1 Anti-Fan

Chapter 298 Wait a minute, let me show off
"What did he just do?!" In the commentary booth, O'Neal widened his eyes in disbelief.

Curry makes a living by shooting three-pointers. Although it is surprising that he can shoot those incredible three-pointers, it is not incomprehensible.

After all, apart from the vertical coordinate of getting more accurate with each shot, the only horizontal coordinate for three-pointers is getting farther and farther.

You can't possibly ask a three-point shooter to do a crotch shot or change hands in the air before shooting like he does with a dunk, right?

But Han Sen, although he can shoot three-pointers, it should be the weakest link in his arsenal.

But just now, Han Sen stood at the logo position and threw the ball in!

And unlike a shot that was taken randomly, he was clearly prepared, and the entire arc of his shot was very beautiful.

In other words, he has the range!
This is a conclusion, but it is a very incredible conclusion.

You know, Hansen has a variety of offensive methods within the three-point line, which has made it difficult for opponents to defend. Now he can even throw in the logo three-pointer. What does that mean?
That’s just like the omniscience and omnipotence in the Death Note, with full firepower coverage!
Well, although Curry can also say that, when Jordan has a three-pointer with the logo, the impact is obviously much greater.

The Cavaliers' bench was also excited at this time.

Unlike O'Neal's shock, they were more excited.

Hansen also demonstrated this scoring ability in training camp.

It's just training, just like many big centers can dribble through the three-point line during training, but it never happens in the game.

But Han Sen showed it in the game!

Not only the bench, but also the Cavaliers players on the field seemed extremely excited at this time.

Especially Irving, who found Hansen and high-fived him while retreating.

He was a little confused by Curry's beating tonight, but now it's good that Curry is not the only one who can play like that!

Some are happy and some are sad.

On the Warriors side, except for the Splash Brothers, everyone else including Walton was confused and shocked.

It’s exciting to watch a teammate like Curry throw the ball, but watching opponents throw the ball like that, they can kind of get a taste of what Irving felt before.

That’s not how the game is played bro!

Han Sen invited Curry with his eyes, and Curry tried to respond.

But when Irving got excited, he stuck to him like a piece of taffy.

Due to his physical limitations, it is difficult for Irving to become a top defender. You can't imagine him carrying Kobe on his back, but because of his quick feet and flexible body, he has the potential to defend agile guards like Curry.

Curry ran in a figure-8 route and took advantage of the Warriors' heavy screen to create a chance, but the moment he shot, Hansen seized the opportunity to assist in defense and interfered with him.

Although he avoided being blocked with his extremely fast shot, the force of his shot was obviously too strong.

The ball finally hit the back edge of the basket and bounced high, and Curry's return shot ended in failure.

TT protected the defensive rebound and the Cavaliers quickly advanced to the frontcourt. After Hansen received the ball, he successfully fooled Iguodala with a fake three-point shot.

It’s not that Iguodala suddenly lost his experience, but it’s similar to Curry’s situation just now. Because of the consecutive three-pointers, the defenders dare not not jump.

Seizing the opportunity at this moment, Han Sen quickly stepped back after the breakthrough and took another three-point shot.

No matter how good Iguodala is at defending, it is difficult for him to keep up with Hansen's rhythm after being shaken once.

However, Curry let go of Irving and rushed towards Hansen from the side.

His awareness was there, but his physical condition prevented him from reaching it.

After Han Sen jumped, he felt something flying past him.

Well, no impact.

"Shh!"

Han Sen made three consecutive three-pointers!
The scene suddenly became restless.

They are in a worse mood than Irving right now.

How can one defend against this?
73 is better than 70!

The Cavaliers successfully reversed the score.

This time the camera was focused on Curry on the court.

The hopes of the entire Bay Area rest on this skinny guard who is only 1 meters tall.

The Warriors played fast again, but the Cavaliers gradually adapted to that rhythm and retreated more quickly, not allowing the Warriors to directly create any opportunities.

The two sides fell into position, and Curry was entangled by Irving again when he received the ball at the three-point line.

But his next choice was surprising. He actually took a step back from outside the three-point line!

For a moment you can't tell whether it should be called a three-point step back or a step back three-pointer.

But he did allow Curry to successfully distance himself from Irving, and then Irving once again felt Curry's ability to shoot instantly.

Although he tried his best to save the ball at the first moment, the ball still flew out near his head.

"Shh!"

Curry's three-pointer pierced the Nets again like a sharp arrow.

Curry successfully completed the sniper fight this time!

Moreover, this is his fourth three-pointer in this quarter!
The scene in front of them shocked everyone, or rather, no one expected that the game would go into such a situation in the third quarter.

The one with the most exaggerated expression at this time was Jokic on the sidelines.

He comes from the European basketball system, which requires teamwork and creating the best scoring opportunities.

But it is obvious that the performance of Curry and Hansen in this section is like saying to that idea: Fuck it!

His understanding of basketball is being refreshed rapidly.

In the Cavaliers' offense, Iguodala was no longer defending Hansen at the three-point line, but began to lead the defense throughout the court.

He was trying his best to limit Han Sen's ability to receive the ball.

In fact, it was not just him. At Walton's signal, the Warriors' defense expanded far out, which meant they were not going to give Hansen any more chances to shoot from the outside.

They did, but Hansen cut back and headed for the basket.

At this time, the Warriors' outward defense could no longer be retracted.

When Han Sen stretched out his hand, Irving also made a long-distance alley-oop pass.

The pass was a little too far, but Han Sen pulled the ball back in the air after jumping, and then performed a full-stretched alley-oop dunk.

"Oh!"

When the ball went into the basket, even the Oracle stadium was filled with exclamations.

As we all know, the prerequisite for a historic dunk is an imperfect pass.

The Warriors players were also stunned, especially Curry, who kept his head raised to watch the replay on the LED screen, and the envy in his eyes could not be hidden.

Walton did not call a timeout because Hansen was hot from the outside, and this kind of score was more acceptable to him than letting him continue to shoot three-pointers from outside.

The interesting thing is that after the Warriors quickly advanced to the frontcourt, Malone also waved on the sidelines to let the Cavaliers' defense expand outward.

Curry has already made 4 three-pointers in this quarter and 7 tonight. If he continues to defend like this, he will set an NBA record.

The Warriors have the ball in Green's hands.

Kerr values ​​Curry more than Jackson, while Walton values ​​Green more than Kerr. Green has a relatively high percentage of ball possession on this Warriors team.

It was at this time that Curry did the same thing as Hansen, also using a reverse cut to get straight into the Cavaliers' territory.

Green's pass was much more comfortable than Irving's, a shot that went through the crowd.

Curry caught the ball and rushed to the basket.

Then, he did something unexpected.

Instead of making a quick layup like before, he jumped high with the ball in both hands, then slammed the ball into the basket with his right hand in the air!
Although the jumping height was a bit low and the visual impact was average, the key is that he dunked the ball!
In terms of style, Curry and Nash are very similar, but in terms of their desire to dunk, the two are very different.

The scene exploded instantly.

Curry was extremely excited after the dunk. He arched his body and roared, which was even more exciting than making a buzzer-beating three-pointer.

Han Sen watched Curry cut back, but because he was far away he didn't have time to defend, and he also watched him jump and dunk.

He thought Curry would miss the dunk, but he went in.

Sure enough, a shooter who can't dunk is not a good shooter. Golden State's LaVine is not just a name. ①
However, from the choices of Hansen and Curry, we can see that they are both players with high basketball IQs. They did not blindly force shots just because they were in hot form. Instead, they used the shooting space created by their hot hands to continuously attack the opponent's restricted area.

The sniper confrontation between the two at the middle gate turned into a direct attack on the enemy.

Well, temporarily.

Because of the tense situation, both Hansen and Curry played the entire quarter.

After the two players attacked the hinterland one after another, the defenses of the two teams were gradually forced back.

When it came to the end of the quarter, both sides entered their rotations, and after the quality of defense declined, the two opened fire again from the outside.

Curry scored another goal and Hansen scored two more. Both of them scored 5 three-pointers in a single quarter.

Five seconds before the end of the quarter, Hansen shook off Iguodala with a big change of direction on the outside, and then fired again at a 5-degree angle half a meter away from the three-point line.

At this time, the score on the field was 94 to 96, and the Cavaliers were only 2 points behind. If they threw this ball in, they would be able to lead into the final quarter.

The fans at the scene also felt nervous. Although there was not much difference in the score difference between leading and lagging, the psychological difference was huge.

"Shh!"

Han Sen did not show any mercy either, he made his sixth three-pointer of the quarter!

"What else can I say?" After making the three-pointer, O'Neal held the microphone with a wry smile on his face.

Jordan was initially questioned by the outside world about his inability to shoot three-pointers, but he gave the most positive response with 6 three-pointers in the first half of the finals, which also made all the criticism disappear.

Han Sen is not questioned now, but he made 6 three-pointers in a single quarter!
This is not a simple transcendence, it is a dimensionality reduction attack!
However, just when everyone thought that Hansen would win the battle, something shocking happened again.

Green made a quick pass from the backcourt, and Curry dribbled forward.

At this time, the Cavaliers were obviously unable to keep up due to rotation and physical decline. Curry advanced to one meter away from the three-point line on the sideline, and without waiting for the time to expire, he quickly pulled up and shot a three-pointer.

It was too late for JR, who was in front of Curry, to react and pounce on him.

After the basketball drew a low-altitude parabola, it went directly into the basket like a vehicle-mounted howitzer!
Curry also made his sixth three-pointer in this quarter!

In the end, the two men ended up in a tie.

In other words, Curry won this quarter.

Because the Warriors entered the final quarter with a 2-point lead.

At the end of the third quarter, the third quarter data of Hansen and Curry were also shown on the LED screen.

Curry scored 28 points and Hansen scored 30 points. Both of them broke their personal single-quarter scoring records.

"If this performance continues for four quarters, there will be two 100-point games at the same time," Barkley joked in the commentary booth.

100 points only require 25 points in one quarter, which is quite reasonable.

But the reality is that at the end of the third quarter, Hansen and Curry had both scored 40+ points, and the more likely scenario tonight is that both of them will score 50+ points.

At the beginning of the fourth quarter, Jokic took to the field again.

I don’t know if it was influenced by Hansen and Curry in the third quarter, or if it was stimulation, he didn’t go inside and just stood at the top of the arc.

The Warriors knew he would shoot three-pointers, so they didn't give him any more chances, but he finally got the chance to show off his passing skills.

He made a three-point shot from the top of the arc, then passed the ball to JR who cut in, who performed a powerful alley-oop pull-up slam dunk.

It's hard to imagine how good his hands are, but it's certain that the end of the organization is the center because they have the best vision.

The Cavaliers grabbed a hold of the game at the start of the fourth quarter, and the two teams continued to be tense in the fourth quarter.

Walton's idea was to use a small lineup to widen the score in the third quarter, but now the score has not been widened, so he can only play with a small lineup to the end.

The same situation is happening with the Cavaliers.

This high-intensity back-and-forth running across the entire court is equivalent to continuously doing 100-meter sprints on the court, which is a great test for the players' cardiopulmonary capacity.

This is also the fundamental reason why the Warriors do not use a five-small starting lineup. It is not because they are afraid that the inside line cannot handle it, but because they are physically unable to handle it.

But at this moment, neither side dared to change the regular lineup.

The result was that the efficiency of both sides in this quarter dropped significantly compared to the third quarter, and "The Little Blacksmith of Milan" was played on the court.

But at the same time, it also highlights the uniqueness of Hansen and Curry.

The Cavaliers did not win the championship last season, but Hansen was not without gain.

Just like Butler's physical fitness was developed by Thibodeau, Hansen played to his limit every time in the playoffs last season, especially the 64-point game, his physical fitness bar was forcibly stretched.

Curry's situation is different from Hansen's, but his trainer Brandon Payne pays great attention to his endurance training because he was already the player with the longest running distance in the NBA last season, and he was leading the second place by a large margin.

So despite being surrounded and blocked, the two still performed well in the fourth quarter.

Curry has continued to throw in 2 three-pointers in this quarter, and his personal three-pointer count has reached 11.

With one more three-pointer, he would tie the NBA record of 12 three-pointers in a single game held by Kobe and Tony Marshall.

However, Hansen only took one three-point shot in this quarter, and he used more mid-range and breakthrough shots.

For him, even if his three-point talent has been trained to a bottleneck, he will not throw the ball all over the court like Curry.

Because the way to score three-pointers is more dependent on luck, and his two-stage shooting is bound to consume more physical energy.

In the last minute of the fourth quarter, the score was 117 to 119, with the Cavaliers trailing by 2 points.

Hansen broke into the inside and scored through Green's defense, causing the latter's sixth foul of the night.

Hansen and Curry scored points all night long, which was exciting to watch. However, in an unnoticed corner, Green had already ended his game early.

7 points, 9 rebounds, 7 assists and 6 fouls were his stats tonight.

When Green left the court, he shook his hands in frustration, obviously very frustrated with his performance just now, or tonight.

Hansen went to the free throw line and made the free throw despite the interference from the whole court, helping the Cavaliers to gain a crucial 1-point lead and bringing his personal score tonight to 55 points.

In comparison, Curry has already scored 48 points tonight.

The Warriors called a timeout, and after the timeout, Bodog replaced Green.

Curry controlled the ball and advanced forward. Except for him, the other four Warriors players all sank to the baseline.

There are only 40 seconds left before the end of the game.

Although behind, Curry was not in a hurry to shoot three-pointers.

After Bodog set up a pick-and-roll at the three-point line and switched Irving away from him, he faced TT in a mismatch and then launched the attack.

What's more unexpected is that he didn't just shake off TT and shoot a three-pointer.

If it were someone else, the record would be within reach, and no matter who wins the game, they would break it first. After all, this is just a regular season game.

But Curry took advantage of this and used a fake move to lift TT's center of gravity and quickly rushed into the three-point line.

And after breaking through, he chose an unexpected mid-range shot with an emergency stop.

However, it was precisely because of this series of unexpected choices that Curry was almost not disturbed when he shot.

Curry made a steady mid-range shot, helping the Warriors take the lead again 121-120.

The Cavaliers called a timeout.

With 28 seconds left, the Cavaliers had a chance to kill the game.

The fans' reaction at this point was very interesting, even though they were leading, they looked more nervous than when they were behind.

After all, the Cavaliers have the best players in the league in terms of clutch play ability.

After the timeout, Irving took the ball to the frontcourt and began to press the time.

Although they are behind, the Cavaliers should try not to leave too much time for the Warriors.

At this time, the Warriors' defensive attention was all on Hansen.

But the Cavaliers' choice was unexpected because Hansen had no intention of running to catch the ball.

With 10 seconds left on the Cavaliers' offense, Irving launched an attack directly.

Malone made the same unexpected move as Walton, and it should be said that it was even more unexpected than Walton's because the ball did not even reach Hansen's hands.

Of course, this is what Han Sen agreed to.

If Irving isn’t trained in the regular season, when should he be trained?

Now with this tie, plus the opponent's attention will be on him, this is Irving's best chance.

Especially since Irving was beaten by Curry tonight and his mentality was a little unbalanced, if he can complete the buzzer-beater, he can wipe out the slump.

Irving successfully passed Curry and got into the inside. Because of Han Sen's distraction, he got a great chance to score the winning goal.

About one meter away from the basket, he took a jump shot facing Bodog's quick stop, which is one of his most reliable ways to score.

But I don’t know if it was because Curry’s attack really made him lose his balance mentally, but he missed the shot with such a great opportunity!

Fortunately, his shot attracted Bogot, giving TT the opportunity to successfully grab the frontcourt rebound.

After seeing Bodog retreat, TT did not force an attack, but directly threw the ball to Hansen on the outside.

Irving's breakthrough compressed the Warriors' defensive formation, and Hansen, who had moved to the front of the logo, was left unguarded.

Seeing this, the Warriors players quickly rushed towards Hansen, and the Cavaliers players also prepared to go over for a screen.

However, at this moment, Han Sen made a move that no one had ever imagined.

He held the ball in his left hand and made a "STOP" gesture to everyone with his right hand.

A magical thing happened. The players on both sides didn't understand what he meant, and they slowed down their pace as if they were being controlled.

At this moment, Han Sen stepped on the front of the logo, took the ball and jumped, shooting his second logo three-pointer of the night.

The ball's parabola is still very high.

And when the ball passed the highest point and started to fall, the final whistle had already sounded on the sidelines.

"Shh!"

Then came the most pleasant sound in the world.

The huge Oracle Arena was in dead silence. All the fans were stunned. They couldn't believe what had just happened.

"Damn it!" Barkley was the first to swear in the commentary booth.

"This is the most ridiculous and pretentious kill I've ever seen!"

In the opening game of the 2015-2016 season, which was the most special season, Hansen made a big move right from the start!

-Dividing line-

①: In the 2015 NBA Slam Dunk Contest, Hansen was absent. LaVine won the championship by defeating Anteto, Oladipo, and Plumlee with two perfect dunks in the preliminaries and two dunks with 94 points in the finals.
