Basketball's No. 1 Anti-Fan

Chapter 347 Han Sen is a Bastard
Winning Game 2 doesn't mean the Cavaliers have regained their home-court advantage, but heading to Boston with a 1-1 score means both teams are back on the same starting line.

On the plane to Boston that day, Hansen was chatting with Jokic when Cunningham approached him.

He was holding a book in his hand and his face looked a little indignant.

It takes about an hour and a half to get from Cleveland to Boston. It's normal for Cunningham to hold a book, but his expression is a little strange.

"Boss, someone is slandering you."

Cunningham said as he handed the book to Hansen.

Han Sen: Is there such a good thing?
Han Sen took the book and looked at the title: Decoding Han Sen.

As the saying goes, when you are famous, you are prone to gossip. After Han Sen became famous, many people wanted to use him to gain traffic.

Publishing a book is the most common way.

You have to know that in the United States, because of copyright issues, the money earned from selling books is much more than many people imagine.

Writing a best-selling book is no less than winning the lottery.

For example, after retiring, Jamison published a book called "The Great Leader Hansen", in which he wrote about how Hansen sacrificed himself and helped his teammates in the Grizzlies.

Because he and Hansen had been teammates during his time with the Cavaliers and the Grizzlies, the book quickly became a bestseller, and he earned nearly $200 million in royalties in one summer, more than he earned on the Grizzlies.

In "History", Pippen discredited Jordan in order to sell books and attract attention. This is a story that Hansen is familiar with.

Han Sen looked at the person who published the book.

Stu Rush.

The name looked familiar, but he couldn't remember it right away.

Only after he opened the book and read it did he remember who this person was.

This is the former general manager of the Grizzlies, Chris Wallace's successor, the one who was responsible for executing Heisley's will and trading him to the Cavaliers. He was fired after Heisley sold the team.

"Where did it come from?" Han Sen asked curiously.

Jokic gave up his seat to Cunningham and then slipped to sit in the back.

"This book is now popular on social media, and ESPN is promoting it like crazy." Cunningham also sat down.

After hearing Cunningham's description, Hansen immediately became interested.

He opened the book and began to read.

What is written in it is basically what he did with the Grizzlies in the 2013-2014 season.

In the book, he is presented as a hypocritical jerk.

For example, it wrote about how he forced the Grizzlies players to arrive at the gym an hour early for training, and those who dared not to come would go to the management to request a trade;
For example, he would constantly bully his teammates in one-on-one situations during training, even if the other party was unwilling.

"Han disguises himself as an approachable leader, but when he encounters adverse situations, he will tear off the mask of disguise and become an absolute jerk."

This is a conclusion Rush draws in his book.

Halfway through the article, Hansen took out his phone and searched it, and saw that Rush lost his job after being fired by the Grizzlies.

This is not surprising. Rush was originally brought up purely to take the blame, so naturally no one would want to pick up the used black gloves.

Hansen closed the book and handed it back to Cunningham.

"He's not really black."

Looking back, Hansen was indeed a bit of an asshole in the last season of the dynasty.

Although he did that to complete the dynasty's disguise, others didn't know that he was pretending.

And it is obvious that Rush, like Pippen back then, is short of money.

Because of Jamison's example, this kind of contrasting book is more likely to become a bestseller.

Cunningham was stunned when he heard this. Although he did not follow Hansen to play for the Grizzlies, he knew who Hansen was better than anyone else.

"Boss, I'm worried that other people on the team might have some ideas!" Cunningham leaned over and said in a low voice.

It would not be a big deal if this book was published at any other time, but it had to be published at this time.

In order to win against G2, Hansen just happened to show his "bastard" side.

Although many of the Cavaliers had played with him three years ago, they did not have that many interactions with Hansen off the court.

And generally speaking, the league and sponsors will create personalities for superstars.

This time, Han Sen’s “personality” is likely to collapse.

"You can't stop others from thinking anything, just like someone who has an idea because of a book, you can't change his mind." Han Sen said and threw the book back to Cunningham.

Is it because he is a good person that he can gain recognition and respect from his teammates?
Isn't Wade better than him?
Being a good person is useless; being strong is the key!

If you can't lead everyone to win the championship and make more money, people won't truly respect you.

Han Sen didn't care, but his team couldn't ignore it.

When Hansen flew to Boston, Rondo, who stayed in Cleveland, had already filed a lawsuit against Hansen for defamation caused by the book.

But that didn't have the expected effect.

Because like Hansen said, Rush is essentially laying out the facts black people.

And ESPN is also increasing its publicity efforts.

Han Sen’s number of haters has skyrocketed this time.

And the continued fermentation on social media also explains why Rush chose to publish the book at this time.

Because soon some fans linked Hansen and Thomas together.

Isaiah Thomas' story was very touching, and everyone was sympathizing with him, but then Hansen punched him hard on the court, and he turned out to be a jerk just as Rush said.

The chain reaction continued even after Hansen arrived in Boston.

At the hotel where Hansen was staying, some radical black people showed up, holding up signs that read "Assholes Are Not Welcome in Boston" and wearing T-shirts that read "Fuck Hansen."

Han Sen was amused.

It was strange that ESPN reported and promoted this matter in the first place, and now seeing these people, no one would believe you if you said it wasn’t Nike that was pushing it behind the scenes.

However, Han Sen was not happy about this. It was not uncommon to smear someone when they couldn't win the fight anywhere in the world.

He was happy about the sense of immersion this wave brought him.

When he came to Boston seven years ago, it was almost the same experience, except that the name behind Fake changed from James to him.

It looks like tomorrow night's game will be very lively.

On the same night that the Cavaliers arrived in Boston, the second game of the Western Conference Finals between the Warriors and the Spurs had already ended.

Without Leonard, the Spurs' offensive and defensive quality declined significantly, and they were slaughtered by their opponents 100-136.

At this time, Brown's previous remarks played a big role, because he exposed Popovich's attempt to pad the ball back, which made Popovich dare not continue to try to pad Curry in G2.

The suspense of the Western Conference Finals is basically over after this game.

There is a high probability that the Warriors will sweep the division and make it to the finals just like the Lakers did in 2001.

The only suspense now is whether their opponent in the finals will be the Cavaliers or the Celtics.

The next night, the Boston TD Garden was packed with fans in high spirits.

Han Sen entered the stadium and saw all kinds of offensive slogans. He looked down at Ray Allen and Pierce warming up on the opposite side of the court, and subconsciously looked at the technical table on the sidelines!

The "Boston Illegal" account is about to log in again.

During the opening ceremony, Han Sen was booed by the audience.

Boston fans, who were already resentful of what happened that year, took this opportunity to vent their emotions.

Han Sen also responded by making a listening gesture. As expected, he was greeted by even louder boos.

The boxers from both sides have completed their pre-match warm-ups, and the competition is about to officially begin.

Starting lineups for both teams: Cavaliers: Hansen, JR, Covington, TT, Jokic;

Celtics: Isaiah Thomas, Bradley, Durant, Horford, Towns.

Stevens did not give up on Thomas because of his poor performance in the last game.

In other words, no head coach would give up an All-Star who averaged 25+ points per game in the regular season.

Towns jumped for the ball for the Celtics as the Boston fans cheered.

However, it was not Thomas who took the lead at the beginning, but Durant.

With Horford's assist at the free throw line, Durant took advantage of Towns' screen and made a mid-range shot.

After retreating to the defensive end, the person defending Jokic changed from Towns to Horford.

Horford has a standard size for a power forward, but when he was playing for the Hawks, he was often assigned to play at the power forward position.

Sadly, he complained more than once, but was always ignored by the head coach.

Now, even after arriving in Boston, he still couldn't escape that fate.

But you know what, his experience with the Hawks has enabled him to develop the ability to fight with centers. Although he is smaller than Jokic, his defensive and positioning skills make Jokic much more uncomfortable than when he played against Towns.

It was at this time that Hansen, who noticed Jokic's predicament, accelerated to get rid of Bradley and cut into the inside.

Jokic saw the opportunity and passed the ball quickly.

But the ball did not reach Hansen, an unexpected person appeared and caught the ball.

Durant!
Durant is not a top defender, but with his physical condition, as long as he is willing to put in the effort, he can play high-quality defense in some rounds.

However, Jokic's pass was of high quality. He was not able to steal the ball directly, but instead changed the path of the ball, letting it fly in front of Hansen.

This gave Bradley an opportunity and he quickly took control of the ball.

The Celtics launched a defensive counterattack. After receiving the ball, Thomas Jr. ran away from JR and made a quick layup in the frontcourt to score.

The scene was filled with cheers.

Jokic continued to back down Horford in the low post. This time he used his elbow to successfully put Horford behind him, but just as he was about to attack the basket, Towns on the other side quickly came to assist in defense.

Jokic knocked the ball to TT with a beautiful ground shot, but Durant got back to the basket at some point and fanned the ball onto the backboard the moment TT jumped!

Durant's presence on both offense and defense was fully evident tonight!

The basketball bounced toward the three-point line and was caught by Thomas with his quick eyes and hands.

The Celtics made another fast break, and this time Hansen chased after Thomas.

After Thomas jumped to the frontcourt, he turned in the air and passed the ball back. After blocking the shot, Durant was the first to follow up to the frontcourt. After receiving the pass from Thomas, he jumped high and scored a dunk with both hands.

After landing, Durant looked at Hansen excitedly and roared.

Five years. From the time I was traded from the Thunder to the Heat, when I felt that the championship was just around the corner, to when my hopes were wiped out by Hansen time and time again and I was forced back to reality, five years have passed now. Do you know how I have been spending these five years?
This time he would never let Han Sen snatch the championship from him again!
The TD Garden was in an uproar, and Pierce on the bench stood up excitedly, waving his fist.

Hansen is not the only one who feels involved in this series.

0:6.

The Celtics started the game with great momentum.

"Defend! Defend!"

Defensive shouts also began to be heard at the scene.

This time, Horford chose to go around Jokic to prevent him from catching the ball easily.

Seeing this, Jokic did not force it, but instead shook his body and came out to play pick-and-roll.

It's just that Bradley was able to bypass the pick-and-roll very quickly, and Horford's long arms also interfered, so the pick-and-roll tactics didn't work.

Seeing this, Hansen signaled Jokic to move to the weak side, and he started to play one-on-one with his back against Bradley.

However, Han Sen had just started to post up when Durant's weak-side help defense came up again, and his long arms covered Han Sen's passing route.

Other Celtics players, including Thomas, were moving to interfere with Hansen's passing lanes.

The Celtics' defense was impenetrable.

Hansen was forced to move to the bottom corner, but in a split second, he suddenly turned around and broke through Bradley's side.

The turn was so quick and sudden that by the time Bradley and Durant reacted, Hansen had already rushed to the basket.

Horford was taken away by Jokic, and only Towns had time to return to the basket.

Hansen made a decisive choice after seeing Towns. He jumped high with his head level with the basket and smashed the ball into the basket through Towns.

Towns raised his hands to try to block the shot, but couldn't reach it.

"Oh!"

Han Sen smashed the basketball into the basket, and the referee's whistle sounded at this time.

This is a 2+1!

After landing, Han Sen gave Towns a cold look, and Towns turned around and dodged in fear.

The cheers at the scene came to an abrupt end, replaced by a huge noise of unrest.

Han Sen's goal was equivalent to a 1 vs. 3 situation. This kind of goal that seemed like "no matter how good your defense is, you can't stop me" was really demoralizing.

Despite the noise from the fans at the scene, Han Sen made the free throw.

This one goal suppressed most of the Celtics' momentum at the beginning of the game.

This ball also instantly woke up the Cavaliers players on the field.

Cunningham can get the book "Unlocking Han Sen", so naturally they can read it too.

If Han Sen is really a bastard, then those who fail to defend well will definitely be asked to get off the field.

The feeling as if a knife was hanging over their heads made them fight desperately with the opposing players.

Durant took advantage of the screen to run out and get a chance, but when he shot, Covington's long arms interfered with him.

His shot finally hit the rim.

The scene became restless again, and as spectators, they could fully feel the changes in the Cavaliers players on the court.

Two points are just two points, but it is also two points that change the situation on the field.

Fortunately, the Celtics retreated quickly.

After Hansen took the ball to the frontcourt, he immediately signaled to move away, and then back-attacked Bradley again.

This time, Han Sen paid attention to Durant in his blind spot and forced him back with a look.

Then he suddenly turned around almost at the same time.

This time Bradley reacted quickly enough to try to stop it, but Hansen's resistance caused him to lose his balance.

Of course, the force is mutual, which also caused Han Sen to lose his balance while turning.

But at this moment, Hansen used his auxiliary hands to support his body to keep his balance and use the force to continue controlling the ball with his right hand. He quickly stood up and rushed to the basket with a movement similar to the support in skateboarding.

This time Towns saw that Han Sen didn't dare to attack easily, so he could only raise his hands to try to interfere, but Han Sen glided sideways past Towns and then scored another two-handed dunk!

There was an uproar at the scene.

"What is KAT doing? He looks like a wimp who gets bullied?" O'Neal asked from the commentary booth.

Even though that person was Han Sen, but as a big center who was dunked on once, the next time you meet him you should use a fierce foul to pull him down!
"Han is such a bastard!" Barkley cursed from the side. Han Sen was basically killing Towns by playing like that!
