Basketball's No. 1 Anti-Fan

Chapter 317 Please accept Gilbert’s knee!

When the series reaches this stage, the adjustments that both sides can make are very limited, and more depends on on-the-spot performance.

Cleveland fans received good news and bad news soon after the start.

The good news is that Irving was in excellent form today. He scored consecutively under Wade's defense at the start.

The bad news is that the Heat adopted a more rough defensive style against Hansen. Whenever Hansen tried to shoot, they would foul him fiercely and send him to the free throw line.

Riley was obviously not betting that Hansen's free throws would miss, but was using this method to disrupt his touch.

As it turned out, he was halfway there.

Han Sen's mid-range shot is still as stable as his free throws, but his three-point shooting has indeed been destroyed.

As Han Sen said before, the three-pointer is a weapon that is extremely dependent on touch.

This is also why teams facing the Warriors will consume Curry on the offensive end and then commit fierce fouls on him when defending him.

Wade's touch tonight was also average. He could only break through to the inside more often, but every time he broke through against Hansen, people would think that the Flash is old.

Wade still averaged around 19 points per game in the regular season this season, but it is obvious that his strength has degenerated into that of an ordinary All-Star player.

But God is fair. Durant was in hot form tonight, and he continued to wield the Grim Reaper's scythe in the game where the Heat needed him most.

Or to be more precise, Durant has been in excellent form in this series and even in this year's playoffs.

Without a doubt, this was the best Durant Hansen had ever seen.

Of course, Durant is also luckier.

“历史”中的杜兰特为雷霆队打了9年得到一个总亚军，最后一年也就是这赛季，3比1领先73胜勇士却被3比4逆转，最后成为了“投敌杜”；
Durant has been with the Thunder for five years and the Heat for four years, winning two runner-up titles. Since he didn't make the finals last year, he wouldn't be considered defecting to the enemy even if he joins the Warriors this summer. At most, he would be a "Durant teammate" like James.

Facing such a Durant, Hansen decisively switched defense in front of him.

Like he did in G4, he handed over more offense to Irving who was in better shape, and then locked down Durant on the defensive end.

But this time, his defense didn't work.

Durant was hot, and more importantly, he was managing after being locked up by Hansen before.

He played more "simple balls", either handing off to Gasol or shooting directly after a pick-and-roll.

When he's just focusing on catching the ball and shooting, he's the best shooter in the league.

At the end of the first half, the Heat led the Cavaliers by 58 points, 46 to 12.

Durant scored 28 points in the first half.

At halftime, Durant was interviewed by an ESPN reporter before returning to the locker room.

When talking about his performance in the first half, Durant's words were moving:

"I didn't want my Heat career to end tonight. I did everything I could."

Durant and James are like two extremes. James always does the opposite of what he says, while Durant says what he does.

Before the start of the second half, Riley, who returned to the court from the locker room, also accepted an interview with reporters on the sidelines.

At this moment, he stood straight, and his angular face looked more like the Godfather than Al Pacino.

Perhaps to make up for his gaffe after the last game, he smiled and said to reporters: "We will end this after returning to Miami."

At this time, players from both teams had returned to the court one after another, and Hansen happened to pass by behind Riley without Riley noticing.

After returning in the second half, the Cavaliers took the lead in attacking.

Hansen was in an off-ball pick-and-roll with Jokic, faked a cut inside, and then suddenly ran back out.

This move was very beautiful, but perhaps Hansen's outside touch was not good tonight, and Irving did not pass the ball to him immediately.

When Han Sen reached out for the ball and Irving passed it to him, Han Sen was already trapped.

However, Hansen did not pass the ball this time. Instead, he suddenly jumped past Wade with the ball and then rushed to the basket quickly.

Deng had retreated to the basket to try to stop it, but Han Sen attacked more resolutely than he expected.

He hugged Han Sen, but Han Sen still completed the attack.

The ball bounced twice on the rim and finally rolled out.

There was a sound of regret at the scene.

Deng also breathed a sigh of relief.

Han Sen went to the free throw line, but as he walked towards the free throw line, he spoke to Owen who was walking towards him:
"When I'm open, pass the damn ball."

Owen patted his chest, indicating that it was his own problem.

He didn't know the reason for Han Sen's change of mood, but he could feel that provoking Han Sen now would not end well.

Hansen made both free throws, helping the Cavaliers narrow the gap to 10 points.

And after retreating to the defensive end, Hansen was still following Durant.

Now he seems to be back in the seventh game five years ago.

However, Durant's overall condition tonight was good enough, and he still got rid of Hansen and got a chance to shoot.

Then, Han Sen fouled viciously to stop him.

The stuff Riley used, it's not new.

Han Sen originally wanted to exchange a few words with Durant to provoke the other party, but he didn't expect that Durant didn't say a word after being fouled, but just walked straight to the free throw line.

It seemed like Durant's desire to win tonight overcame his instincts.

Han Sen still couldn't find his outside touch in this quarter. He was like an angry woman, and you couldn't coax him into submission just because you wanted to.

However, Hansen's breakthrough in this quarter was more determined, which caused the Heat's fouls to accumulate quickly, and Riley had to expand the lineup rotation.

This caused the Heat's offensive efficiency to decline significantly.

Every tactic has a price, and Hansen is making Riley pay that price.

Another good news for the Cavaliers is that thanks to Hansen's tough defense, Durant's touch began to decline in this quarter.

By the end of the third quarter, the Cavaliers had narrowed the score to 75 to 80.

However, when the game reached the final quarter, the depth of the Heat's lineup began to show.

Although this was not in Riley's plan, it is indeed an advantage that the Heat have always had.

When the main players returned, the Heat widened the score gap to double digits again.

And after coming back, Durant's touch began to return.

But as the saying goes, God is always fair, and Han Sen's three-point shooting touch was finally improved by him.

The game seemed to have returned to G4, and the final quarter became a scoring moment for Durant and Hansen.

The only difference this time is that the Cavaliers entered the decisive moment with a double-digit point difference.

When the time came to the last minute and a half, the Cavaliers were still trailing the Heat by 100 points at 108 to 8.

The Cavaliers called a timeout.

When Hansen came off the court, he saw Riley sitting there with a happy smile on his face.

It felt as if he was still a great fortune teller as a coach and had already calculated the final outcome of the game at halftime.

"The Cavaliers should consider how to play a Game 7 on the road," Barkley said in the commentary booth.

Although he supports Hansen, the Heat, especially Durant, played too well tonight. This is the Heat's night.

Gilbert, who was in the box, was also planning to follow the team to Miami.

Although the Heat, playing at home, have a better chance in Game 7, they have won the decisive game on the road before, so they may not have no chance in Game 7.

A whistle sounded on the sidelines, signaling the end of the timeout.

When the Cavaliers players came on the court, Malone looked at Hansen's back.

"Give me the ball and I'll take you to the finals."

Maybe you only think it is possible when the person who said this is Han Sen.

Irving quickly advanced to the frontcourt with the ball, and then passed the ball to Jokic at the top of the arc.

The Cavaliers' tactic at the last moment was to give the ball to Hansen, but their head coach was Malone, not Tyronn Lue, and Malone had a tactical design on how to give the ball to Hansen.

Jokic is the best passer on the Cavaliers besides Hansen, and he also has a high basketball IQ, so it is most appropriate for him to do this.

Hansen and Jokic passed the ball, but the Heat's defense was all rushing towards Hansen.

After Hansen made his first three-pointer in the fourth quarter, Riley knew that he had regained his outside touch and his defensive style became more aggressive.

However, Hansen did not shoot immediately after receiving the ball. Instead, he made a big change of direction and pulled back, using Jokic's body to perform a second pick-and-roll.

In other words, this is a variation of the Cunningham pick-and-roll.

Jokic also reacted quickly and immediately turned around to block the defender.

Han Sen made a pull-up three-point shot after changing direction.

Riley's eyelids twitched subconsciously.

"Shh!"

The crisp sound of the ball going into the net was heard, and the Quicken Loans Arena was instantly boiling.

"Stop him! Don't let him shoot the three-pointer!"

Riley once again lost his godfather demeanor. He knew that if Hansen made three-pointers in a row, no matter how many points he scored, it would not be enough to catch up!

Dragic controlled the ball across half court and began to press the clock.

Time is now the Cavaliers' biggest enemy, and it is also something the Heat must take advantage of.

After 14 seconds had passed, Dragic passed the ball to Durant.

After Durant was locked down by Hansen and had no chance, the ball was passed to Wade, who broke into the inside and made a layup.

Almost at the moment the whistle sounded, the basketball fell into the net, causing a commotion at the scene.

Wade also found his touch in the final moments, and God wanted the Heat to win the game tonight.

There were only 55 seconds left until the end of the game.

Irving quickly advanced to the frontcourt and then quickly passed it to Jokic.

Hansen continued to move towards Jokic, and all the Heat players rushed out.

They demonstrated their execution ability and did not give Hansen any chance to continue shooting from the outside.

But at this time, Han Sen suddenly turned and rushed into the inside.

Jokic also quickly passed the ball over.

Han Sen got rid of the defender the moment he received the ball, and the only person in front of him was Deng who retreated to the basket.

Deng once again defended Hansen fiercely and took him down, but Hansen still completed the shot after being fouled.

This time, the basketball slid into the basket after drawing a small parabola.

Deng shook his head helplessly after seeing the goal.

Han Sen's touch has fully recovered.

Riley also stood up and walked to the sidelines, and couldn't help pacing back and forth, his actions showed his anxiety at the moment. Hansen hit the free throw, 2+1 scored the equivalent of a three-pointer, and the score difference reached 4 points.

Dragic continued to press the clock in the frontcourt, but Irving's defense was very aggressive and he could only control the ball with his back to the opponent.

"careful!"

Wade's reminder came to his ears, and he picked up the basketball, barely avoiding Han Sen's stealing hand.

Just as he said "That was a close call" in his heart, Han Sen's hands had already grabbed the ball in his hand like a pair of giant pliers.

Then the next second, Hansen completed the "robbery".

When Han Sen got the ball and ran to the front court, no one could keep up with him.

With a fast break shot, Hansen stopped the Heat.

There were still 40 seconds left in the game. Hansen had scored 50 points in the past 8 seconds, and the Cavaliers had narrowed the gap to 2 points!
"Make the impossible possible!"

O'Neill excitedly shouted out the inscription under Hansen's statue.

After the previous argument with Riley, he really wanted the Cavaliers to win the game!
After the timeout, the ball was in Wade's hands, and Wade was still pressing the time.

The Heat kept pressing until the last 10 seconds before launching an attack. Durant took advantage of Gasol's screen to receive the ball and threw a three-pointer directly to Hansen.

The difficulty of this ball was extremely high, but Durant threw the ball in!
There was a dead silence.

Durant roared loudly after scoring the goal.

Although his score dropped in the second half due to Han Sen's defense, the goal just now brought his score in the second half to 18 points.

He scored 46 points in the game, setting a new personal career high!
And more importantly, with 20 seconds left in the game, he helped the Heat extend their lead to 5 points.

This basically killed the game.

"The Cavaliers have no chance." Barkley sighed again.

The Cavaliers called a timeout.

When Riley left the court, he looked at Durant with more love than he did at his own son.

After the timeout, Malone replaced Tucker with TT and used the starburst tactic.

Trailing by 20 points with 5 seconds left, the Cavaliers had no choice but to shoot a three-pointer.

Jokic served the ball from the sidelines, and Hansen took advantage of TT's pick-and-roll to receive the ball.

TT's pick-and-roll quality is a level higher than Jokic's, but when Hansen received the ball, he still encountered Wade's help defense.

Riley knew that the Cavaliers could only shoot three-pointers, and he also knew that the ball would be in Hansen's hands, so it was not difficult to defend.

Han Sen directly chose to step back outside the three-point line.

This reminds people of the scene when the Cavaliers played against the Warriors in the season opener.

Wade knew Han Sen had the ability, so when he saw Han Sen about to shoot, he rushed out.

But what he didn't expect was that Han Sen waited for him for a moment, and then leaned forward when he pounced in front of him.

This is to cause him to commit a three-point foul!
Three-point shots really depend on touch, and drawing a foul is the best option.

Wade realized it and quickly reached out and pulled his body back to try to dodge, but in the end he failed to dodge.

Moreover, Han Sen did not stop after the referee blew the whistle. He bent his knees in the air as if to give himself a second force and completed the shot while falling.

The eyes of the fans at the scene widened.

Then they heard the most beautiful sound in the world.

Han Sen not only caused the foul, but also scored the goal.

This is a 3+1!

"God!" Barkley held his head in his hands.

The difference between these 3 points and 3+1 is huge.

Because there were not enough 24 seconds left, the Cavaliers had to foul and let the Heat serve the ball after the game. The final possible score behind was 3 points or 4 points. One was a chance to tie the game, and the other was that there was not enough time and they basically lost the game.

Riley frowned and said nothing.

Wade is already the most experienced player on the Heat, but people's choices are made in a moment.

And preventing Han Sen from taking three-point shots was also the defensive strategy he had just requested.

When Han Sen went to the free throw line, the scene was exceptionally quiet, for fear of disturbing him.

At this time, Riley also replaced the Heat's free throw shooter.

Hansen made the free throw, 112 to 113, with 9 seconds left in the game, the Cavaliers narrowed the gap to 1 point.

The Heat made no mistakes in their sideline pass, and the ball successfully reached Durant. Hansen fouled and sent Durant to the free throw line.

Amid the noise of interference from all sides, Durant withstood the interference and made two free throws, raising his personal single-game playoff scoring record to 48 points.

Malone called another timeout.

Because the timeouts were not used much before, the Cavaliers still had one timeout left, but this was the last one.

The Cavaliers had a chance to tie the game, but only one chance.

The fans at the scene were so nervous that they couldn't breathe.

After the timeout, the Heat's entire defense expanded greatly, directly defending along the three-point line. The Cavaliers had no chance at all to shoot the three-pointer.

Han Sen couldn't catch the ball even when he was running.

Seeing that Jokic was about to serve the ball with 5 seconds left on the sidelines and the Cavaliers had no more timeouts, Hansen quickly cut inside.

His choice was not interfered with too much, because opponents would generally give up on this kind of iron-blooded two-point shot.

Hansen received a pass from Jokic and made a layup.

The score difference is still 1 point, but there are only 6 seconds left.

The Heat called a timeout.

Now, as long as they serve the ball steadily, they basically win.

As for the Cavaliers, they need another death steal like Hansen did before.

The fans at the scene felt like their hearts were about to jump out of their chests.

At this moment, Han Sen's data in the last minute and a half was displayed on the big screen.

I don’t know, I’m scared.

Han Sen had already scored 14 points in just one and a half minutes!
If the Cavaliers can win in the end, this will be a total Hansen moment!

After the timeout, nothing unexpected happened and the Heat successfully passed the ball to Wade.

Again, the Cavaliers are facing the Heat, and their strongest point is execution.

With Hansen's performance tonight, if it were any other team, the Cavaliers would have won the game by now, but Riley's team won't give you that opportunity.

Riley called the others to his side and gave them some instructions. When Wade went to shoot free throws, he reached out and touched his chin hard.

There are only 4.6 seconds left in the game.

As long as Wade makes two free throws, the Heat will remain invincible.

Moreover, he had just instructed to keep a close eye on Han Sen and not give him any chances to shoot three points, and to foul him if necessary.

He knew that the referee would hand the game over to the players at the last moment.

Wade went to the free throw line, but the noise of interference was still deafening.

There was no suspense, his first free throw went in smoothly.

Before the second free throw, Wade took a deep breath while holding the ball.

As long as they make this free throw, they can return to Miami to play a seventh game against the Cavaliers.

"when!"

The more a person wants to accomplish something, the more accidents will happen.

Wade's second free throw missed!
Jokic grabbed the key defensive rebound!
Wade realized something and rushed directly towards Jokic, trying to send him to the free throw line.

But Jokic dodged it, and although he hit Jokic's hand, the referee did not blow the whistle.

Just as Riley thought, the referee gave the game to the players.

By the time he wanted to foul again, Jokic had already thrown the ball away.

When the basketball flew to the other end, Han Sen had already run out of the three-point line.

Hansen was running, Dragic and Durant were running behind him, and time was passing.

The fans at the scene held their breath.

There is no time.

But when Han Sen was still one meter away from the front three-point line, he knew he had no extra time to move forward.

He chose to take a three-point shot with a quick stop.

The ball almost stepped on the edge of the logo.

The moment Han Sen made his move, the red light on the sidelines lit up.

Time seemed to stand still at this moment.

Hansen once hit a buzzer-beating three-pointer with the logo when playing against the Warriors, but now it was a chase-down three-pointer, which was not on the same level of difficulty.

"boom!"

The ball did hit the backboard because of its strong forward force.

"Shh!"

But the ball bounced and fell into the net!
Although it was difficult to control the strength, Han Sen managed to get the accuracy right!
There was an explosion inside and outside the Quicken Loans Arena.

Han Sen, the logo three-pointer, killed the Heat!

He broke up the strongest Heat team in the most incredible yet poetic way!
"Pat Riley, remember to hang the No. 77 jersey over the American Airlines Arena!" O'Neal finally let out a sigh of relief!
All the Heat fans held their heads in disbelief.

Riley's face was so solemn that he couldn't breathe.

And Han Sen, after hitting the target, walked towards his loyal technical desk.

He jumped up and pointed at the ground with both hands.

"This is my house!"

Jokic was stunned. It turned out that Hansen also remembered his horse!

The whole place was boiling.

What year is it tonight!
"This is impossible." Only then did the rational Kenny Smith come to his senses.

Han Sen scored 17 points in the last minute and a half!
The only one that came close was Isaiah Thomas' 16 points in a row that year, but the Pistons didn't win that game, so it was lost in the long river of history.

But Hansen completed the buzzer-beater, leading the Cavaliers to an incredible comeback, and in the process defeated the Heat. This is destined to go down in history!
When the game ended and Hansen walked towards the player tunnel, he found Gilbert who had come down from the VIP box and was waiting there.

What he never expected was that the moment he saw him come in, Gilbert rushed towards him with his arms open, and then knelt down directly!
