Basketball's No. 1 Anti-Fan

Chapter 333 Han Sen is Everything (Please give me a monthly ticket!)

Owen said nothing.

He didn't dare to speak either.

Because Han Sen looked scary, he felt that if he didn't say anything right, Han Sen would kick him off the field immediately.

If Hansen doesn't criticize Green, won't Green instigate Irving?

It is obvious that Irving is not the number one talent and Hansen is his teammate.

The reason why Green instigated at this time was because the previous tension between Irving and the Cavaliers gave him an opportunity.

The saying "flies don't bite seamless eggs" is very appropriate here.

But this kind of instigation is really low-level.

Because before Hansen came to Cleveland, Irving knew his leadership level better than anyone else.

Although in "history" Irving eventually made a fuss and left, Hansen is not James.

James used Irving more, "You play the ball and I take the honors", but Hansen helped Irving in many ways.

He publicly supported Irving when he was questioned by the outside world. Last season, he shared the ball with Irving to practice organization, and even took Irving to participate in commercial activities off the court.

So just like Hansen said, if Irving was not really stupid, he would not believe Green's nonsense.

James made one of two free throws, and the score was 4 to 6, with the Cavaliers leading.

The ball was exchanged, and Irving held the ball and signaled the pick-and-roll tactic.

But this time he called for TT's three-point pick-and-roll.

TT blocked Curry, and after Irving was out of position against Green, he changed direction and broke through directly.

This is not a good choice, as Green is one of the best inside players in terms of mismatch defense.

However, Irving attacked this ball extremely resolutely. His forced shot under the basket successfully caused Green to commit a defensive foul.

Green had already committed a foul when defending Hansen, and was called for another foul this time. He was directly substituted off the court for two fouls.

Just as Green left the court, Irving made an unexpected move.

He waved goodbye to Green.

Green's cheeks puffed up with anger.

Obviously, Irving was making a statement, indicating that he did not agree with what Green said.

Han Sen saw this and went over to touch Owen's head.

Irving is just a little bit selfish, but he is not really stupid.

The Warriors substituted Iguodala, which meant that James was passively moved to the fourth position.

On the Cavaliers side, TT couldn't defend Iguodala and could only switch defense.

The Warriors also used the James-Cuba pick-and-roll at this time.

After TT was forced to steal the ball at the first moment, Curry had already passed the ball to James. After receiving the ball, James broke into the inside and scored a two-handed dunk against Irving.

Jokic tried to make up for the deficit but failed.

After landing, James yelled at Jokic in response to being knocked away by Jokic just now.

However, Jokic ignored his reaction and served the ball to the baseline.

At this time, Ma Long also stood up and went to the sidelines to make tactical gestures.

After the Cavaliers advanced to the frontcourt, there was an off-ball pick-and-roll in the interior, and Jokic reached out for the ball with his back to James in the low post.

Irving passed the ball in and he relied on beating James.

He turned around and saw that the Warriors did not double-team him immediately, so he put his entire weight on James and used all his strength to hit him in the first blow.

James was forced to calm down and give it his all.

Jokic already has an advantage in strength, and the weight difference between the two has become even bigger after James lost weight. This scene looks a bit like an adult bullying a child.

After seeing the Warriors coming to assist in defense, Jokic turned to the baseline and scored a layup.

Kerr's purpose in replacing Iguodala was to maintain the team's defensive rotation ability, but he underestimated Jokic's presence.

Malone has improved Jokic's tactical position this season, and Jokic's low-post offensive ability has also increased.

The Warriors continued to play the James-Curry pick-and-roll. TT hesitated for a moment before Curry made a three-pointer from the outside.

The closest thing to the James-Kurtz pick-and-roll in "history" was the Lillard and Antetokounmpo pick-and-roll during the Bucks era.

But it is obvious that Curry is much more of a threat offensively than Lillard, and his passing is not comparable to Lillard's.

9:10.

After Green left the game, the Warriors were still evenly matched with the Cavaliers, which shows how strong they are.

The live camera was given to Ma Long, and Ma Long did not intend to make any substitutions.

His idea is relatively simple. Even if TT is replaced, the Cavaliers may not be able to defend against the James-Curry pick-and-roll.

Just like the pick-and-roll between Hansen and Jokic, some tactics are simply difficult to limit.

But at the same time, the Warriors' current lineup has no good way to deal with Jokic in the low post.

So in comparison, the Cavaliers only consumed Jokic's physical strength, while the Warriors consumed the physical strength of their two core players, Curry and James.

One for two, no loss at all.

In "history", Durant went to the Warriors. Everyone knew that Durant's pick-and-roll was unstoppable, but Kerr rarely used it. This was a key reason.

Jokic had his back to James in the low post again, and James chose to go around him.

Jokic directly signaled Irving to hang the ball onto the basket.

O'Neal looked dazed in the commentary booth, which was somewhat similar to when he played in the interior.

He is worthy of being regarded as an idol by the guys!

Irving's pass was slightly off target, and Pachulia also squeezed past TT and got to the basket.

It seemed that this number was about to become a turnover, but Jokic's subsequent operation was astonishing.

Obviously, Jokic does not have the ability to slam dunk over opponents like O'Neal, but he also has his own way of survival.

He started playing volleyball directly in the air!
With a gentle tap, the ball went directly into TT's hands on the other side of the basket.

By the time TT got the ball, Pachulia hadn't even turned around.

This pass caused a burst of exclamations from the audience.

Green was watching from the sidelines and drooling.

As the saying goes, there is no harm without comparison. Compared with James' pass that almost hit him in the foot, Jokic's pass was simply art.

TT didn't need to make any adjustments at all, and scored a two-handed dunk before Pachulia turned around.

Today's top five goals have been agreed upon.

Han Sen couldn't help but nod when he saw this.

If Jokic continues to grow and become able to crush Green in the low post, that will be the end of the Warriors' death lineup.

Kerr also realized that James could not defend Jokic at all, and Pachulia could not avoid TT's blocking, so he turned around and called David West. West is also very interesting. He took a pay cut from the Pacers to win the championship, but he did not choose to join the defending champion Warriors; after the Heat failed, he joined the Warriors again, and did not choose to join the defending champion Cavaliers.

But this may be the typical style of old-school players. Although I want the championship, I just don’t want to join a championship team.

The effect of West's appearance was immediate.

Although he is not a tall inside player, he is stronger than James and has rich experience in low-post defense.

Jokic felt like he had no power to release when facing him.

This is also normal. Even with Hansen's help, it is impossible for the second-year Jokic to become an All-Star player all of a sudden.

O'Neal said Jokic is becoming the next Hansen, and "is" and "already" are two different words.

Malone also reacted quickly. After Jokic failed to score in the low post, he used the pick-and-roll between Hansen and Jokic as a response.

In the first round of Jokic's pick-and-roll, Hansen broke into the inside and passed Pachulia for a two-handed dunk.

In the next round, when Pachulia stepped back, Hansen stepped back to the three-point line and shot a three-pointer.

Malone has been practicing pick-and-rolls between Hansen and Jokic in the preseason, and now, two months have passed, they are finally starting to show their lethality.

About 8 minutes into the first quarter, the score was 23 to 28, with the Cavaliers leading by 5 points.

Neither side has a good way to limit each other's pick-and-roll, because whether it is Curry James or Hansen Jokic, their ability to handle the ball is too strong, and it cannot be solved by just shrinking and helping to defend.

Moreover, the Cavaliers have Irving and the Warriors have Klay Thompson. Their strong containment ability on the weak side also makes the opponent dare not retreat easily.

However, Green's departure has an obvious impact on the Warriors. David West can be effective in the low post, but his age is also there.

Hansen once again broke through the basket after a pick-and-roll, causing Pachulia to commit a defensive foul.

Han Sen's free throw opportunity. Green saw Irving standing on the Warriors side of the three-point line. He kicked his feet and flew to Irving like a fly.

"Kairi, I apologize for what I just said."

When Irving saw Green coming over and recalled Hansen's previous attitude, he wanted to just walk away, but Green's words made him take back the step he had taken.

"It's nothing to be the second-in-command to Han. After all, Scottie (Pippen) was also very successful when he was the second-in-command to Michael."

After listening to Green's words, Irving turned and looked at Green in confusion.

He had no idea what Green was trying to say.

But he soon found out.

"It's just that you seem to be only the third in command now, and that Serbian kid is the second in command."

After saying this, Green quickly retreated to the bench.

Owen also stood there in a daze.

The Warriors' offense, James started holding the ball.

The consecutive pick-and-rolls between James and Kuznetsuo consumed too much physical energy.

He directed traffic at the top of the arc, and Curry took advantage of Pachulia's pick-and-roll to receive the ball and make a three-pointer.

However, the tactical intention was too obvious, and Curry's final three-pointer was assisted by Hansen and missed the basket.

Coming back, Hansen broke through again and caused Pachulia to commit a defensive foul, directly knocking the Georgian down.

Kerr made a substitution, but this time he replaced McGee and Iguodala at once.

The Warriors returned to their previous lineup of one big and four small players, with McGee becoming the center.

The Warriors not only let go of Bodog this summer, but also let Ezeli go.

It is impossible for a team to have all five positions at the top level, unless someone wants to take revenge on society.

The Warriors' weak point this season is clearly in the paint.

When Malone saw James playing the power forward position again, he did not hesitate to signal Jokic's low-post singles tactics again.

However, Irving did not execute this tactic. He went directly to the frontcourt and called for a pick-and-roll with Jokic.

After the pick-and-roll created a mismatch, he went straight past McGee and into the basket.

He quickly shook off McGee and completed a quick layup before James could help defend.

What he didn't expect was that soon after the ball left his hands, it was pressed onto the backboard.

This is a nail board big cap.

Not from James, but from McGee!

Because McGee often had tics on the court, his annual salary was reduced from tens of millions to minimum salary.

But in terms of physical talent alone, he is much better than Pachulia.

As long as he is not allowed to stay on the court for a long period of time, his rim protection ability will be much better than Pachulia in a short period of time.

After McGee blocked the shot, he grabbed the defensive rebound. After James passed the ball from him, the Warriors quickly launched a defensive counterattack.

James and Curry played a wonderful combination in the fast break, and Curry assisted James to follow up with an alley-oop slam dunk.

Malone called a timeout.

And he was extremely angry after calling a timeout.

As a head coach, the thing I fear most is that my players lack execution on the field.

After the players left the court, Malone signaled Deron to come on the court, then picked up the tactical board and began to draw Jokic's low-post offensive tactics.

Irving was staring blankly at the court at this time, not knowing what he was thinking.

The timeout was over and the players were ready to go on the court. Before going on the court, Hansen noticed Irving who was still in a daze, so he went over and rubbed his shoulders, motioning for him to relax.

After Irving made that goodbye gesture to Green, he knew that Irving was different from what was described in "history."

After the timeout, Deron fed the ball to Jokic in the paint. Although James still chose to go around, he still successfully lobbed the ball in.

As he had worked with Boozer on the Jazz, this kind of pass was a piece of cake for him.

However, McGee's ability to protect the rim in the restricted area is indeed strong. After assisting in defending Jokic's first-time attack, he can also turn around and defend TT's attacking opportunities.

As long as he doesn't act crazy on the court, he is the "Olajuwki".

TT's attack was blocked and he didn't know what to do with the ball. Fortunately, he soon saw Han Sen cutting into the middle.

It was an easy through pass, and Hansen made a quick stop and shot it in.

Although he hadn't yet trained [The tear-drop] to the bottleneck, Han Sen could still easily perform a throw of this difficulty.

In the following time, Jokic and Hansen played very exciting inside and outside linkage.

Jokic's low-post offense tied down the Warriors' defense, and then Hansen took advantage of the off-ball situation to receive passes from Jokic and score frequently.

For Han Sen, it is easy to score 40+ points in a game when he has a strong desire to compete.

Jokic's presence, just like Malone's original intention of increasing Jokic's tactical position, can make it easier for Hansen to get these points.

So you can see that although Ma Long's tactics are changing, his tactical thinking has not changed.

Whether it is Irving or Jokic, giving them tactical positions is to allow Hansen to perform better.

Hansen is the reason why Malone chose to return to Cleveland. Hansen is the Jordan of this era. Hansen is everything.
