Basketball's No. 1 Anti-Fan

Chapter 341 People can be good, but not stupid

The most widely circulated trash talk is often the most unexpected.

The most damaging thing about Hansen's words is that James, who once stepped over Green, is now Green's teammate.

Well, since you can turn enemies into friends with those who once stepped over you, then what's a big deal if I step over you?

This method of rubbing Green's self-esteem on the ground completely made Green angry.

However, Jokic's big body blocked Green, and Green couldn't get up at all. He could only pass the ball through the air.

Han Sen, however, had a smile on his face the whole time.

It's really boring when Americans curse at others. They just repeat the same few sentences over and over again.

And seeing Green break through the defense, his mood immediately improved a lot.

In particular, this is a serious conspiracy.

Green can give up the ball because James takes him off the court to make money, which is essentially a "trade."

But you are not Han Xin, so how can you not feel resentful about this humiliation?

Even if Hansen wants to break Green's defense in the future, he doesn't need to say anything else, just saying "James stepped over you" will be enough.

This is much more effective than dunking over Green.

The referee finally couldn't stand it anymore and gave Green a technical foul.

Green was still not calm, so James came over and grabbed him, constantly persuading him to calm down.

However, Green's fierce look made James subconsciously shut his mouth.

For a moment, James felt that Green was going to hit him like Portis did to Mirotic.

Green was eventually replaced by Kerr, and when he sat on the bench, his chest was still heaving violently.

No one dared to provoke him at this moment.

Green is the voice and black glove of the Warriors. In a sense, his position in the Warriors is second only to Curry.

After Green left the court, the situation on the court changed subtly.

During the Christmas game, the Warriors fell into a disadvantageous situation in the first quarter because Green received his second personal foul too early, which caused the Warriors' defensive strength to decline significantly.

Green didn't get into foul trouble tonight, but the result was actually similar.

Kerr had no choice but to use the James-Kudi pick-and-roll again.

This tactic remains powerful. Although Malone's strategy is to switch directly when encountering a pick-and-roll, Covington still can't keep up with Curry.

James is a bit miserable. Originally, Covington was defending him, but after the switch, the person defending him became Hansen...

When the game reached 9 minutes, the score was 28 to 22, with the Cavaliers leading.

Both sides have already started rotation at this time.

On the Cavaliers side, Hansen and Jokic were both substituted off to rest, while on the Warriors side, James was left on the court by Kerr to continue leading the team.

Covington also went off the court to rest, and James finally saw the light. He went to the frontcourt, took the ball and went forward, successfully passing Tucker and scoring the ball.

After scoring the goal, he quickly made "strong" gestures in front of the camera to make his presence felt.

However, while he was making the move, Wade pushed the ball to the frontcourt through Deron's fast pass from the backcourt. The Cavaliers quickly formed a 3-on-2 situation in the frontcourt. Finally, Wade suddenly passed the ball to Korver, who raised his hand from the three-point line and made a three-pointer.

Some Cavaliers fans previously felt that the chips the Cavaliers paid to get Korver were a bit of a loss.

After all, Dunleavy played well before, and Korver is already 35 years old, so it's not a loss in a one-for-one trade, but the Cavaliers also had to pay a first-round pick from the Bulls.

But up to now, he is more popular with Cavaliers fans than Wade.

Because of his arrival, the Cavaliers have had a terrifying 54% three-point shooting percentage in the past few games!

Although this data will definitely decline as the number of games increases, at least for now, he gives people the feeling that as long as he has the opportunity, he will not miss the ball.

At this time, Kerr spread his hands and looked at James on the court.

It was obvious that he was not satisfied with the team's retreat just now.

And after leading the team to win the championship and a record of 73 wins, Kerr had a high opinion of himself.

James did not meet Kerr's gaze, but instead looked at Wade with a sidelong glance. This old guy actually took advantage of his unpreparedness to launch a sneak attack.

James continued to dribble and break through to create damage.

He was enjoying the fight now.

Technology changes life. Although Covington embarrassed him a little before, Covington doesn't have the same ability to last as him.

James made both free throws.

Looking back, Wade and TT broke into the inside after the pick-and-roll, shook off McGee and suddenly made a two-handed dunk!

Wade's peak is over and of course he can't dunk as well as he did in his prime, but he can still give you a dunk out of the blue.

Wade was also a little excited after the dunk. After landing, he stood on the sidelines and celebrated with his arms folded.

That’s right, Wade had already done the move that made P.J. Washington popular in history.

There was a commotion in the place.

32:24.

Although James scored consecutively, the Cavaliers widened the gap!
"Kenny, do you have anything to say now?" Barkley turned and looked at Smith. It turned out that Smith didn't understand basketball as well as he did!
Smith also smiled and shook his head. He didn't expect Wade to be in such good shape tonight.

However, the difference between playing as a substitute and the previous rotation is that Wade's physical condition is different.

Moreover, Wade does not rely on shooting to make a living, and if he plays as a substitute, his performance will not be affected that much by his shooting touch.

James suddenly passed the ball to Iguodala, who missed the three-pointer.

The Warriors had no problem retreating this time. Deron dribbled the ball to the frontcourt and organized the offense. He and TT played a pick-and-roll and then passed the ball to Wade who cut in from the weak side.

Wade got the ball and rushed to the basket.

James then quickly assisted in defense under the basket.

He also knew that he couldn't let Wade continue to score.

The former partners in the Heat are now in a head-on confrontation.

The two knew each other very well, and in the end it was Wade, as the offensive player, who had the upper hand. He used the Euro step to fly over James for a layup.

But what happened next was something no one expected.

James, who had been passed, actually pushed Wade in the air!
Wade never expected James to do that and he lost his balance in the air.

Fortunately, he was already accustomed to this situation when he played basketball in his early years. He used his legs to land first to relieve the force before landing, so he did not have a hard landing.

But because it happened so suddenly, he still fell into the photographers on the sidelines. Cunningham rushed directly to James and pointed at his nose and sprayed him.

The reason why the Cavaliers dared to cut Metta World Peace and keep Jones Jr. this season was, to some extent, because of Cunningham's outstanding performance in non-basketball aspects of the court.

The referee also hurried over to separate the two.

Wade was finally pulled up by the Cavaliers players and he seemed to be fine.

Old fans should all know about the "Wade fall". His early playing style saved him just now.

After making sure he was not injured, Wade looked at James with a puzzled look.

Although they did not achieve success when they first played together, they were the Banana Boat Brothers after all, and their off-court relationship was very good.

But James just pushed him like that?

That might really end his career early!

James didn't mean to come over to explain. He was very unhappy after being scolded by Cunningham.

Malone was also afraid that Wade would get injured again, so he substituted Wade off the court early to let him rest.

After Wade sat next to Hansen, he looked at James who was still on the court and couldn't help shaking his head.

He still couldn't figure it out.

"This is a good brother." Han Sen couldn't help but sneer.

Han Sen originally didn't want to get involved in the affairs of Wade and James, because the connection between them is intricate. It is not only between two individuals, but even between two families. This is why he was just joking when he said to Wade, "James has always been like that."

But what James did just now was indeed something he did not expect.

Wade turned back after hearing Han Sen's words. After hesitating for a moment, he said, "It might just be an accident."

Han Sen couldn't stand it anymore: "DW, you can be a good person, but you can't be a real idiot!"

His voice also attracted the attention of his teammates.

However, after seeing Han Sen's gaze, they all turned back.

Although Han Sen didn't bully his teammates like Jordan, judging from the way he scolded his opponents, no one would want to mess with him, not to mention that Irving had just demonstrated it.

"Let me explain to you what LeBron meant by that pre-match interview." Han Sen did not mention the eight-point release of military power. The past that Wade had already completed his self-PUA did not have much meaning.

Wade felt a little embarrassed after being scolded by Han Sen, but Han Sen didn't care whether he wanted to listen or not.

"If you can be bought out and join the Warriors, that would severely weaken the Cavaliers' strength, and if you join the Warriors, he can also gain a good reputation for being kind to his former brothers. As for whether the Warriors have you in the rotation or whether you can play well, he doesn't care at all."

As a time traveler, Han Sen must know about Wade's experience in history after he joined the Cavaliers to join James.

Wade blushed and said nothing.

He originally wanted to say that it shouldn't be the case, but he felt that if he said it, Han Sen would probably let him buy it out and give it a try.

"How about we make a bet?" Han Sen asked after seeing Wade's reaction.

"Let's bet on whether he will care about your fall after the game. If he does, I'm just being too narrow-minded. If not, you should wake up. Don't keep letting others take advantage of you and wait until you're completely drained of your value before you realize it."

Wade hesitated for a moment and then nodded.

He felt that it was Cunningham's fault that James couldn't come forward to explain.

After returning to the second quarter, after making sure that Wade was fine, Malone let him back into the game.

When he came on the court, his eyes were looking towards the Warriors' half, but Kerr did not arrange for James to continue playing, but let Green and Thompson lead the team.

Green's emotions have stabilized, and when James is not on the court, he can control the ball and his performance is obviously better than in the first quarter.

The Warriors' offense and defense were very good in this period.

However, Wade continued to perform well after returning to the game, and the two teams were deadlocked in the score during this substitute transition period.

Although this result is not as good as the previous match against the Bulls, it has met the expectations of the Cavaliers.

Because during the previous Christmas game, Hansen and Jokic definitely couldn't sit so quietly on the sidelines during this period of time.

At the end of the first half, the Cavaliers were leading the Warriors by double digits, 62 to 52.

James still performed poorly in the second quarter under Covington's defense. Covington is going to become famous tonight.

After the third quarter, both the Warriors and the Cavaliers used five small lineups.

It is still not easy for Jokic to play against Green, but Green is not feeling well either, because Hansen is obviously targeting him tonight.

In the previous regular lineups of both teams, he would only face off against Han Sen when assisting in defense in the interior.

But with this five-small lineup, Hansen and Jokic will play face-to-face.

Moreover, Jokic's basketball IQ is too high. After the pick-and-roll, whether he is jumping out or cutting down, he is very fast. He is so fast that the Warriors have no choice but to switch defense.

Hansen once again broke through Green and got to the basket, scoring and causing Green to foul.

Green's eyes also looked helpless. He was good at defending smaller players, but he also had to score against everyone. If you asked him to switch defense against James, he would be very good at it, but Han Sen was sorry, that was not within his business scope.

Hansen went to the free throw line and continued chatting with Green.

"No. 35 is not as awesome as No. 23."

When Jordan made his first comeback, the Bulls had retired his No. 23 jersey out of respect for him, and according to league rules, players cannot wear retired jersey numbers, so Jordan wore No. 45 when he returned.

Everyone knew about it afterwards. Because Nick Anderson said, "No. 45 is not as cool as No. 23," Jordan finally changed back to No. 23 after paying a fine.

There was no way Green didn't know about this, so he understood what Hansen meant, which was to let him change back to No. 23.

But when you think Hansen is just paying tribute to Anderson, what he really wants to say is the next sentence:
"Forget it, you can't change it back."

Green is red hot again.

Lies don't hurt, truth is the knife.

Although No. 23 of the Warriors' jersey used to belong to him, it now belongs to James, and he can't change it back unless James leaves the team.

"The Warriors played like crazy in the third quarter," which is the label of the peak Warriors in the Kerr era.

But Hansen scored 23 points in this quarter, and under his leadership, the Cavaliers maintained their lead through offense.

When it came to the transition period between the third and fourth quarters, Kerr let James go on the field again, trying to help him catch up on some points.

Wade also continued to come off the bench during this period, and he once again got the opportunity to compete with James.

He looked at James from time to time, hoping that James would come over and talk to him about the incident of pushing someone in the air.

But even if they were standing next to each other at the free throw line, James didn't mean it.

Until the end of the game, when the Cavaliers defeated the Warriors 121-115, and after the handshake after the game, James left the court early, that possibility completely became zero.
