Basketball's No. 1 Anti-Fan

Chapter 358 Cavaliers Championship 2!

When Green uttered these words, everyone at the scene was stunned.

Not only the Cavaliers players, but also the Warriors players.

Curry, who had already walked up to Green and was ready to lend a hand, also had his hands suspended in the air with his eyes wide open.

No buddy, you're going too far!
Although this trash talk was not invented by Green, it was said by Haslem during the game against the Thunder after the Heat traded James.

But the nature of Green's criticism at this time was much worse than Haslem's.

After all, James was no longer on the Heat at that time, and Haslem was criticizing him as an opponent.

But Green, this is a teammate!
We have seen a lot of trash talk against opponents, but Green is the first one to trash talk his teammates so thoroughly, and there will basically be no one like him in the future.

And the painful point of this sentence is that it is actually a fact.

The Warriors won the championship in 2015, but James still doesn't have a championship in his 14-year career!

Although, there are reasons why Green would spew out such trash talk.

Since James joined the Warriors, Green's statistics have dropped significantly and he has become a triple-single player.

If James hadn't taken Green to do business off the court, the conflict between the two would have broken out long ago.

Then Han Sen seized the opportunity to ignite the fuse of the conflict between the two.

That is, a seed of conflict was planted between the two of them, and it took root and sprouted.

In this finals, Cleveland fans' shouting of "LeBron will trade you" finally came to fruition.

If the Warriors could win the championship this year, then such contradictions might be covered up by victory, but now the Warriors are on the verge of elimination, and it has lost its meaning to continue to be patient.

Someone has to take the blame for the failure to win the championship due to the formation of the "Warriors of the Universe", and Green, whose statistics and performance have declined, is the most suitable person to do so.

Han Sen was probably the only one present who was not that surprised.

As Green was his opponent during the NCAA period, he understood his anti-fan leader better than anyone else.

Unlike James who pretends to be smart, Green is actually quite smart.

It seems that he is impulsive now, but in fact every word he says shows that he has planned it in advance.

The word "we" appeared in every sentence he said, and he tied himself to the Splash Brothers of the Warriors.

In this context, they are the drivers and James is just a passenger who joins them halfway.

This is exactly the same as when he criticized Durant in "history".

And what is easily overlooked is that in order to control the Warriors management, James signed a 1+1 contract, which means he can become a free agent immediately.

After being criticized like this, if James has any respect, he would not continue to stay in the Warriors.

Of course, there is another possibility that cannot be ruled out: James asks the Warriors management to trade Green, otherwise he will just leave.

In that case, Green would be too clever for his own good.

When he thought of this, Han Sen couldn't help laughing out loud.

I can only say that it is very satisfying.

Green's previous words caused Irving to request a trade and almost ruined the Cavaliers. Now he can't save himself.

It can only be said that Green is really "a person who doesn't know the kindness of a good person". Hansen had kindly reminded Green to stay calm and endure it for the sake of business, but Green didn't listen at all!
After the halftime break, James did not appear on the court.

According to news on social media, James' groin injury recurred and he was unable to play in the second half.

This familiar and classic attempt to save face was actually a silent protest on his part.

Since you, Green, said you can win without me, let's see whether you play better or worse without me.

The result is...the Warriors played really well in the third quarter!
Green's mouth really stinks, but his mental quality is also really good.

His three-pointer in the third quarter was very accurate. More importantly, Thompson had an outburst in the third quarter.

When Han Sen talked to JR during the bonfire party, he was also worried about the "G6 soup", but he didn't expect it to actually happen.

The classic top shot was made in various ways. To use the words of the East China University fans, it was "Buddha's light shining everywhere" and "Buddha's appearance."

If Han Sen thought this kind of thing was metaphysics before, then the more reasonable explanation now is that Thompson entered The Zone.

Although he is not all-round, Thompson meets all the requirements in that he is specialized, has strong endurance and a strong mentality in the face of adversity.

Of course, this is also related to the fact that the Cavaliers invested a lot of physical energy on the defensive end in the first half, which led to a decrease in overall defensive intensity in the second half.

Everything is at the perfect spot.

Thompson made 6 three-pointers in the third quarter and scored 22 points in the quarter. Under his leadership, the Warriors scored 40 to 30 in the third quarter, reducing the difference to 10 points in one go.

These "old men" of the Warriors seemed to have discussed it beforehand and called the management to show them that they are better off without James!
However, when the game entered the fourth quarter, the impact of James' absence began to emerge.

The Warriors' points in the third quarter were not scored by Thompson alone. Several other core players, including Iguodala, who replaced James in the starting lineup, were all exhausted.

At this point in time, none of them had the physical strength to stay on the field and lead the team.

Then Wade, who didn't play well in the first half, exploded during this period.

Under his leadership, the Cavaliers launched a 10 to 2 offensive, and the score difference was approaching 20 points every minute.

Kerr had no choice but to call a timeout and then replace all the main players in advance.

This scene seems somewhat tragic.

Malone certainly would not be lenient because of the Warriors' tragic situation, and he also replaced the main players in advance.

This scene is a bit similar to G4, but in terms of the situation, the offense and defense have changed compared to G4!
The Warriors played very hard in this period, especially Curry, who ran for his life against Hansen's defense.

But the Cavaliers had Hansen to back them up, and they were unable to close the gap again.

With two minutes left in the game, the Warriors were still trailing the Cavaliers by 2 points.

The outcome was already decided, and Kerr had no choice but to replace the main players in advance.

Ma Long also substituted the main players.

When both sides began to make large-scale substitutions, the Cleveland fans who had been waiting at the scene could no longer hold back and started celebrating.

This time it’s not just expectation, they really want to defend their title!

The next two minutes were a treat for the Cavaliers players on the court.

Malone was also thoughtful enough to keep Wade on the court.

The game time soon came to the last 10 seconds.

In the Cavaliers' last attack, Wade dribbled the ball across half court and stopped attacking.

The cheers at the scene had already exploded in advance.

"duo~"

When the final whistle sounded, the scene was completely boiling.

Wade held the ball in his arms, his eyes red.

Since 2010, he has been working hard for his second championship, a process that was accompanied by curses, doubts, and betrayals. Now in 2017, seven years have passed, and he finally got what he wanted!

Moreover, this was a championship won by stepping on James. James finally paid back the championship that was owed to him!

The Cavaliers players on the sidelines also started celebrating wildly.

Deron is different from Wade. As a veteran, he jumps directly onto the court and is more excited than the young players.

But he has enough reasons to be excited. You know, he had a very frustrating time with the Lakers last season, but this season he has contributed to the Cavaliers and has always been in the rotation.

Like Wade, he won this championship with his own hands!
Of course, Deron was not alone. Korver, Covington, and other "new players" who came to Cleveland in the original trade also rushed onto the court to celebrate wildly behind Deron. The person they were most grateful to at this moment was Hansen, followed by Irving.

If Irving hadn't requested a trade, they wouldn't have come here, and naturally they wouldn't have won the championship.

"Champion, I got the championship! I am the champion!"

And on the bench, there was a guy who was so excited that he was talking incoherently and forgot to play.

Little Jones probably felt like he was dreaming.

He is an undrafted player. If it weren't for his dunking skills, he wouldn't even be on the 15-man roster.

Now he is the champion?!
Is James the chosen one?
No, he is!
He excitedly yelled at Jokic, who was still sitting on the bench.

Jokic just smiled.

He is now feeling happy and relieved.

He felt relieved because, as he said at the bonfire party, the team did not lose the championship because of him.

What makes him happy is that he is about to become the man who owns the best racehorse in Serbia!
Jones Jr. was immediately dissatisfied when he saw Jokic's indifferent reaction, and he turned around and yelled at Hansen on the other side.

Han Sen was sitting there recovering his strength.

Even though Malone replaced the main players two minutes in advance, the Cavaliers fought hard tonight.

Especially in the last quarter, there seemed to be no suspense, but in order to maintain the score difference, when others were not physically fit and could not score, they basically relied on Han Sen to score one goal after another.

So now, after hearing Jones Jr. yelling, he was not disturbed by his emotions, but instead felt it was a bit noisy.

He turned around with an expression that said, "Why are you so excited about a championship?", which immediately made Jones Jr. shut up.

Just at this time, Wade regained his composure and walked up to Hansen.

Han Sen turned around and saw Wade and stood up. Wade reached out and gave Han Sen a big and strong hug.

"Thank you, Han!"

Wade's words came from the heart.

Without Hansen, he will leave the league with regrets just like Kobe.

Given his personality, he might even return to the Heat and make peace with Riley.

But now, all this has changed after coming to the Cavaliers.

"Don't thank me, you should thank yourself, this is our victory."

Hansen was not being polite. Wade made sacrifices after joining the Cavaliers and also brought great help to the Cavaliers.

It is no exaggeration to say that if Wade had not been brought in through the previous deal, they would have already fallen in the Eastern Conference Finals against the Celtics this season because of Irving's mid-season trade request that disrupted their rotation.

Wade nodded vigorously.

After a brief celebration on the scene, they returned to the locker room to party again.

It was at this time that Hansen gave Jokic the "little gift" he had mentioned earlier.

That was a small bottle of Sprite.

Jokic was stunned because Hansen was asking him to break his rules.

But then Han Sen's words made him feel relieved.

“Sprite is not Coke.”

If you arrest Lu Xun, what does it have to do with me, Zhou Shuren?

Jokic nodded in agreement and began to taste it.

Really drink it in small sips.

That long-lost feeling makes people feel comfortable all over.

After celebrating in the locker room, they returned to the scene wearing championship T-shirts.

The on-site championship award ceremony has been arranged.

Silva was now standing in the center of the stage chatting with Gilbert.

Gilbert was beaming with joy. Among the 30 teams in the league, there was no boss more proud than him.

Silva, on the other hand, was also smiling, but there was a hint of sadness between his brows.

Hansen is the king of this era and the biggest brand in the NBA right now, but this brand is as bright as Jordan's back then.

Although Han Sen has changed teams, this is already Han Sen’s 6th championship in 5 years!
This is just like the Cavaliers' ability to defend their title. You won't know until you see it.

If Han Sen's team always wins the championship, the investment willingness of other teams in the league will continue to decline.

However, when he saw Han Sen coming, he immediately smiled and walked up to Han Sen, shook hands with him and congratulated him.

When everything was ready, the award ceremony began.

Silva thanked the Warriors for their outstanding performance in the finals, and then officially announced the winner of the championship.

"The 2017 NBA champions are the Cleveland Cavaliers, and this is their second consecutive championship."

As Silva made the announcement, cheers resounded throughout the Quicken Loans Arena.

It’s the same championship, but the feeling of holding the trophy at home is different!
Not to mention the fans and players, even Gilbert, who received the championship trophy, was extremely excited and raised the trophy above his head with one hand.

When the trophy was handed to Han Sen, he felt a lot of emotion in his heart.

Compared to last season when everyone worked together, the Cavaliers' experience this season can be said to be full of twists and turns.

But it is precisely because of these twists and turns that this championship becomes more valuable.

In other words, this team has established a culture after going through the baptism of this season.

Even if he leaves later, this culture will continue.

He then passed the championship trophy to Jokic.

And unlike in Memphis, this time he also brought the Cavaliers the core of the team for the next ten or even twenty years.

After the fans' cheers died down, the female reporter also began the interview on the sidelines.

Gilbert thanked the fans and also dissed Irving's original remarks.

"Cleveland is a true sports town because it has the best fans in the world."

Of course, thanking Han Sen is also essential.

No matter how good the fans, coaches, or even role players are, when the team's trump card is not right, they will not be successful.

The female reporter then handed the microphone to Han Sen.

With Gilbert's preparation, Hansen was drowned out by the fans' cheers before he even opened his mouth.

The cheers even lasted for more than ten seconds, and you could fully feel how crazy the scene was.

When the cheers died down, Hansen began to answer the question the reporter had just asked: What do you want to say at this moment?
His first words already caused the scene to explode into even louder cheers.

"I want to thank a lot of people, but the person I want to thank the most is not here."

……

"Ah!"

James, who had returned to the hotel to rest, sneezed violently.
