Basketball's No. 1 Anti-Fan

Chapter 324 James finally brought the Cavaliers a championship

The Lakers fans at the scene could not fully understand the meaning of Hansen's words, but the fans in the Quicken Loans Arena and the Cavaliers fans in front of the TV were all moved to tears after hearing these words.

This feeling is similar to when I was with my first love after many years. You can never fully understand it if you have not experienced it.

After the award ceremony, Hansen and Owen went to the last press conference of the season together.

The scene was packed with people, and this championship with a very interesting story also attracted unprecedented attention from reporters.

Han Sen became the focus of reporters' questions.

The first person to ask questions was a local media person in Los Angeles, who asked about topics related to Kobe.

It was at this time that Han Sen learned that Kobe had suffered a ruptured Achilles tendon.

As a time traveler, he felt quite complicated after hearing the news.

Because in "history", Kobe suffered a ruptured Achilles tendon in 2013, but now it has become his last game before retirement.

Although it seems like it can't be avoided, if you let Kobe choose for himself, he will definitely choose this instead of scoring 60 points.

"I hope he can recover soon. Retirement is just the beginning of another life."

"You have brought the Cavaliers their first championship in team history. Is your next goal to create a new dynasty like you did in Memphis?" asked a reporter from NBC.

"why not?"

Winning the championship this year is certainly exciting, but he hasn't even had the chance to take revenge on the Warriors!
"This is the second time in your career that you have won the first championship in team history for a team. Now some people call you a 'dream maker'. What do you think?" the Yahoo reporter asked.

This question made Han Sen stunned for a moment, and then he couldn't help laughing. He hadn't noticed this before.

“I love this and I hope everyone can make their dreams come true.”

After the press conference, Hansen went to the hospital to visit Kobe.

What he said in the press conference was true, not only for the players themselves, but also for the opponents.

When Kobe was still playing, they were rivals, and it was difficult to be open with an opponent.

But now that Kobe has retired, Hansen still expressed his respect for him.

A man who fights to the last bullet deserves his respect.

Kobe also didn't expect Han Sen to come. After all, when he chatted with Han Sen before, every word Han Sen said was malicious.

Moreover, he was still full of regret and unwillingness that he could not fight Hansen until the last moment.

But this time, after Han Sen sat down and chatted, Kobe felt the change in Han Sen.

He also realized the change in his identity in an instant.

The feeling of unwillingness in my heart completely disappeared in an instant.

Be it regret or failure, for him everything has come to an end.

"Actually, there's still room for improvement in your defensive footwork." It was also at this time that he and Han Sen started chatting about basketball.

They may no longer be able to compete on the court, but they can still exchange ideas off the court.

"That's what Gary (Payton) told me back then, he called it 'the puppy gait.'"

Just as Han Sen had thought before, talent has an upper limit, but basketball skills do not.

……

The next morning, the Cavaliers flew back to Cleveland.

When they showed up at the boarding gate, they were greeted by a dense crowd of Cleveland fans, who surrounded the airport.

If you have no idea what the words mean, then the numbers will give you a more intuitive impact, because there were more than 4 fans gathered around the airport.

They shouted Cleveland's slogan, and those who didn't know the scene would think they were welcoming the US President.

Especially when Han Sen appeared, the cheers at the scene reached a peak.

But what made Hansen uncomfortable was the slogans shouted by the fans.

"Emperor! Emperor!"

Hansen doesn't like this nickname, but he can't decide what the fans do.

Besides, it is impossible for him to have a gloomy face just because he dislikes such a carnival occasion.

Not only fans came, but also the mayor of Cleveland.

The potential value of the championship that Hansen brought back to the Cavaliers is immeasurable.

A police motorcycle led the way, and Han Sen even rode with the mayor.

Han Sen chatted and laughed with the mayor in the car, and the latter also mentioned the plan to expand business cooperation with Dongda University on a large scale.

As we all know, the United States is a federal government and the states have greater autonomy.

The energy behind this is at least at the state level.

On the bright side, James' real hometown of Akron will also be blessed by Hansen's championship.

Who said Han Sen was not the emperor?

On the night he returned to Cleveland, Hansen held a pool party at his estate and invited his Cavaliers teammates to join him.

Of course there were a lot of party girls in there that he had Rondo invite.

For teammates, this is more exciting than any gift.

Hansen was sitting by the swimming pool, enjoying the view and chatting with Griffin and Malone.

They talked about bonus distribution, and the Cavaliers' championship parade would be held in a few days. Griffin wanted to ask Hansen if he had any requests, and also about the upcoming draft.

The Cavaliers' championship this season is inseparable from Jokic.

Without Jokic, they will have a hard time getting past this Heat team this year.

Therefore, Griffin's recognition of Hansen's draft vision is at an unprecedented level at this time.

When Han Sen saw the draft list, he sat up from where he was leaning.

There are more than 100 million players who can make money from Taobao this year.

This year the Cavaliers have a first-round pick, although it is the 25th pick, but at this pick.

Pascal Siakam, Dejounte Murray, Ivica Zubac, Malcolm Brogdon.

If you choose any one of these, you will make a fortune.

Han Sen's first choice was Brogdon. If he remembered correctly, this guy's talent was not that great, but he had strong combat effectiveness.

Jokic is a special case after all. If other rookies don’t have the opportunity to be trained, they will most likely be mediocre, but those who are strong in immediate combat have a chance.

Moreover, this summer, players like Garnett will basically retire on the Cavaliers, and the contracts of Cunningham, JR, Williams, and West will all expire.

If nothing unexpected happens, the Cavaliers will have major lineup changes next season.

Just as he was looking down, Han Sen discovered another surprise.

There are a lot of familiar names among the players predicted to be eliminated this year.

VanVleet, Caruso, Payton Jr., Derrick Jones.

This year is a serious draft year. Hansen simply gave all these names to Griffin. As for who will be selected and signed in the end, it depends on Griffin's operation.

After all, as he said before, although he is a time traveler, a rookie needs a training environment and time. It doesn't mean that once he is selected, he will become the player in his memory.

After discussing the business, Griffin and Malone left to do their research without disturbing Hansen from enjoying the party.

But just as Han Sen was about to get up, Ajiali called him back.

Han Sen looked back in confusion, thinking that Ajiali was afraid that he would cheat on her.

Unexpectedly, when he sat down, we were still talking about the talent show.

Ajali was not originally going to be involved in the management of his father's team, but the Kings have been really bad in recent years.

She was surprised by how much Griffin and the others trusted Hansen's draft picks, so she wanted Hansen to give her some advice.

Han Sen laughed after hearing this, but he didn't refuse.

For him, it's just one more thing to say.

……

A few days later, the Cavaliers held a grand championship parade in Cleveland.

The people who showed up blocked all the streets along the parade route.

This is the most exciting moment in Cleveland sports history and the city's biggest celebration of the century.

The permanent population of downtown Cleveland is only 39, and the original plan for the number of people to attend the celebration was 50, but the actual number of people on that day exceeded 120 million!
The fans were unable to witness the Cavaliers' championship moment in person, which instead encouraged more people to attend the championship parade.

The Quicken Loans Arena, where the parade started, was packed with fans who lined up overnight the day before the celebration began.

The entire parade route was so crowded that the police had to dispatch a large number of police forces to clear the route.

This caused the parade, which was originally scheduled to start at 11 a.m., to be delayed by four hours.

Moreover, the scale of the Cavaliers' parade this time was also very large, with more than 60 vehicles.

It's not a big bus, but a special bus for each person.

Han Sen and Ajiali shared a car.

He was wearing sunglasses, holding an unlit cigar, and wearing a T-shirt with the UA logo, sitting in the back seat of BYD's customized convertible.

But soon, their vehicle was squeezed and unable to move forward by the fans who surrounded them again.

On the rooftop of a building not far away, there were countless fans who had no chance to get close to the players.

There were even fans hanging on the treetops and standing on telephone poles waving Cavaliers flags.

What's even more outrageous is that there are fans sticking their heads in the gaps between the walls to take pictures, regardless of the danger.

Han Sendong had felt the craziness of his own fans when he was traveling, but this was the first time he felt that American fans were so crazy.

His original feeling was correct. The fans in this small city of Cleveland are the most special in the league.

Han Sen finally stood up and took out his phone to take pictures of the surrounding scene.

Then soon, he saw a scene that made him envious.

Irving got out of the car in front and started dancing to celebrate in front of the fans.

He still loves his Indian dance.

JR, naked with his upper body covered in tattoos showing, stood on the roof of a pickup truck to greet the cheers of the fans.

Han Sen suddenly remembered that this guy seemed to be naked when he was queuing.

There was also cheering behind him. It was Garnett. He stood up and kept patting his chest at the fans, then let out a series of roars.

It is hard not to be moved by these scenes.

Han Sen also held up his cigar, sat on the top of the seat, and opened his arms like an emperor to welcome the cheers of the fans.

Cleveland is not a big city, but it was not until the evening that the Cavaliers completed their journey around the city and returned to the stage set up outside the Quicken Loans Arena.

Standing on the stage and looking out, you can see a sea of ​​people stretching as far as the eye can see.

The fact that Cleveland has fewer tall buildings is actually a good thing at this time.

Ma Long is the keynote speaker of this event.

He commented on the performance of each member of the team and shared some stories from the season.

The message he conveyed also explained the deeper reasons why the Cavaliers could eventually win the championship.

The biggest difference between this Cavaliers team and the previous Cavaliers team is that there are no so-called franchise players on the team.

Even Han Sen would not ask the rookie to carry his shoes for him. Instead, he would give the rookie a lot of real help.

Powell is the most typical example.

When talking about the finals with the Lakers, Malone's face was full of joy.

For Hansen, the most impressive thing about this year was the divisional finals against the Heat, but for Malone, beating the Lakers was what he cared more about.

Even at the end of his speech, he couldn't hide his excitement and ended his speech by reciting Hansen's most classic trash talk in Cleveland:
"Who is your daddy!"

In an instant, the whole scene was in an uproar.

The scene of Hansen jumping onto the Boston technical platform instantly emerged in their minds.

Han Sen was also amused by Ma Long's behavior.

There is no doubt that after the parade, this sentence will definitely be linked to James.

After Malone's speech, there was a question-and-answer session.

Han Sen was the one who received the most questions.

During this session, Han Sen also kept mentioning his teammates.

Not only Irving, Jokic and other players who made great contributions, but also other teammates who did not have many opportunities to play.

It was during this process that a fan asked about James.

Just like Hansen’s previous FMVP speech, it’s hard not to compare the two teams because of the presence of Hansen and other veteran Cavaliers players.

After comparison, you will find that this Cavaliers team is not even as good as the one back then, but they finally achieved success.

James' name shouldn't have been mentioned in this kind of celebration, but when fans asked, Hansen could only smile and answer:

"LeBron delivered on his promise."

Han Sen's words caused a stir among the fans at the scene. They looked at each other, not knowing what Han Sen was referring to.

"When he was playing for the Cavaliers, he once said that he would bring a championship to the Cavaliers. After so many years, he finally fulfilled his promise."

When Han Sen finished his explanation, the fans were still confused for a while before they reacted.

Soon after, the whole scene was filled with a joyful atmosphere.

You know, if it weren't for James, the Cavaliers might not have won the championship so easily.

It’s not that James is so capable, but without him and the Lakers, the Cavaliers’ opponent in the finals would be the 73-win Warriors.

James is in the Lakers but his heart is in the Cavaliers. Who says that he is not a knight who endures humiliation and bears heavy burdens?
