Basketball's No. 1 Anti-Fan

Chapter 379 2017~2018 Season Ends
James' team attacked, and Curry continued to run for three-point opportunities.

At this moment, an incredible scene appeared in front of the fans: James had a wide-open three-point opportunity with the ball at the top of the arc, but no one from Hansen's team went to defend, because except for Hansen who was staring at Durant, the rest of the team was chasing and blocking Curry's movement!

Curry didn't get a good three-pointer opportunity in the end. After James couldn't find a good passing angle after dribbling the ball, he could only shoot a three-pointer from the top of the arc.

The basketball hit the rim and the rebound was grabbed by Davis who quickly retreated to the basket.

There were only 40 seconds left in the game.

Davis picked up the ball and saw Hansen running down the court, then he made a long pass from the backcourt.

The pass was a bit off, a level lower than Jokic's.

Fortunately, it was Hansen who made the fast break. After looking back and seeing the direction of Davis' pass, he adjusted his direction.

After successfully jumping up and grabbing the ball, Han Sen turned and ran towards the frontcourt.

Just at this moment, James appeared behind him.

James' expression was extremely ferocious at this moment, and his mind was echoing with what Han Sen had just said at the free throw line.

What seemed to him to be just a teasing remark, at this moment became a naked reality!
He didn't choose to pass the ball to Curry after that round, and now James' team has no chance of winning.

Han Sen quickly broke through to the front court and jumped, and James behind him jumped up almost at the same time.

The two of them were one in front and one behind. James puffed up his cheeks and chased after Han Sen fiercely.

If he can do it, he can definitely do it!
Even if he lost the game, as long as he completed the block, he would not have lost to Han Sen.

James' blocking shot was quick, but just as his hand was about to block Hansen, the ball disappeared from his sight.

He gathered all his strength and finally gave the air a powerful palm strike.

Just like the countless times he had tried to block Han Sen before, he couldn't block Han Sen.

Under the gaze of the fans, Hansen performed a gliding windmill dunk facing James' pursuit.

"Oh!"

When the ball was hit into the basket, there was silence at first, and then it fell into a boiling sea.

With the windmill as the paintbrush and James as the backdrop, Han Sen, the judge of the dunk contest, performed a dunk with a score of "only 50 out of " on the stage of the All-Star Game!

After completing the dunk and landing, Han Sen looked at James, who had a frown on his face, and spread his hands to him.

This time he did not leave directly, but took the opportunity to speak his mind to the two of them:

"It's not your fault. You've tried your best. It's just that your teammates aren't as good as mine."

James snorted coldly. It was good enough for Han Sen to know.

The two teams were one level apart in size, not to mention the inside, where they were crushed by Hansen's team.

"But these are the teammates you chose yourself!" Han Sen added immediately.

This was originally just a joke, but at this moment it has become a living reality.

The previous East-West confrontation could be said to be due to the gap in the strength of the stars in the two divisions.

But this year, no matter what size or strengths and weaknesses they have in the interior, those are all teammates that their captains have selected themselves!
If James had picked Davis with the first pick, all those so-called advantages would have belonged to James' team.

After Han Sen finished speaking, he saw James standing there without any reaction. He shook his head in boredom and walked back.

135:145.

With 18 seconds left in the game, Hansen's team widened the gap to double digits!
Han Sen's dunk put an end to the game early.

The winner had been decided, but James, who had come to his senses at this time, was very angry. He went to the backcourt and asked Green, who was the last to serve, for the ball.

However, at this moment, a frustrating scene appeared.

Green refused to give the ball to James who was reaching for the ball in front of him. Instead, he moved back and forth along the baseline and threw the ball to Curry who was closer to the center line.

Curry took the ball and moved forward, making a three-pointer.

This hasty shot did not go in, but Han Sen watched the basketball land and successfully grabbed the backcourt rebound.

At this time, there were only 10 seconds left in the game.

Han Sen dribbled the ball across half court, and when he saw James trying to rush over to grab the ball, he simply stepped on the basketball.

This move directly drove the fans at the scene crazy.

What a "I stepped on you" feeling!
"duo~"

The final whistle blew, and Hansen's team finally defeated James' team and won the final victory of the All-Star Game.

The fans all stood up and cheered and applauded at this time.

Before the game, they had anticipated that the two sides would have a real fight in the final quarter, and in the end they got what they wanted.

Moreover, as the first All-Star Game with players competing against each other, this year's game is destined to go down in history.

Especially the way Hansen's team ended the game with an 8-0 run in the final moments will also become a new topic of conversation for fans after dinner.

Of course, there is also the final scene where Han Sen steps on the basketball.

After the game, an MVP award ceremony was held on site.

The result was not suspenseful.

Tonight, Hansen, with the help of his teammates, scored 45 points, 6 rebounds and 6 assists in the game.

If he had aimed to break the record in the last quarter, he would have had a chance to break the All-Star Game record set by Davis.

But it is obvious that for Hansen, his goal before the game was to win, and now his goal has been achieved.

Amid the cheers of the fans, Hansen received the third All-Star Game MVP of his career.

It may sound strange, but Hansen already has 5 fMVPs and 3 MVPs, but AMVP is the least he has now.

Han Sen also gave his acceptance speech afterwards.

"This win is for all the Cleveland fans."

Just like he said before that he would select Jokic with the first pick, Hansen is not pretentious at all in this regard.

But these are all true, because the reason why Hansen returned to Cleveland was because of the fans here.

After the fans' cheers died down, Hansen also thanked the fans who watched the All-Star Game on TV and his teammates.

"This is the first time in my career that I am teammates with James Harden, Anthony Davis, Klay Thompson, Russell Westbrook... But this is also the All-Star Game I enjoy the most. I selected the best teammates and we won the final victory together. This trophy belongs to all of us."

His teammates showed respect to Han Sen, so he naturally gave them praise as well.

And it’s not just praise.

After the All-Star Game ended, Hansen took his teammates to the largest nightclub in Cleveland to have fun.

The prosperity of sports has brought about many impacts, and nightclubs, places that release hormones, will naturally rise as a result.

So even though Cleveland is small, its nightclubs are now quite upscale.

Harden was the one who smiled the happiest.

It was a bit depressing that he was the one left over when the selection was made. But he not only had the ball in the final quarter, but also had such benefits after the game. Looking back now, this trip to the Cleveland All-Star Game was worthwhile.

"Han, it would be great if you were still in the West." Harden was so excited that he sighed.

"If I'm in the West, won't we meet each other often in the playoffs?" Han Sen asked with a smile. Harden was also stunned for a moment. He was just thinking about having fun and forgot about this.

From this perspective, it would be better for Hansen to stay in the East.

The All-Star Game has ended and the season has entered its second half.

The early trading deadline has also made the games after the All-Star Game a competitive arena for teams to compete for playoff rankings.

In the Western Conference, Cousins' injury has caused the Warriors to lose the strength to continue to sit at the top of the Western Conference. The second and third teams behind them, the Rockets and the Pelicans, began to compete for this position.

The competition for the top spot in the East is also fierce.

The Cavaliers hope to get first place in the Eastern Conference to ensure that they have enough advantages against the Celtics in the playoffs, and the Celtics naturally have the same idea.

Even though they looked stronger, their loss in the Christmas battle and the presence of Hansen made them dare not give up this position easily.

Luck was on the Cavaliers' side this time. In mid-March, Irving suffered an injury and had to miss a month due to injury, which caused the Celtics to finally give up the top spot in the Eastern Conference.

It was also at this time that fans discovered that the attendance rates of Hansen and Jokic were terrible.

There is no need to say much about Hansen, but what is surprising is Jokic.

Despite his big size and having gained weight this season, he has not suffered any injuries like other big men.

If we analyze it, it is related to the fact that Jokic's floor-style play, in which he rarely dunks, puts less load on his body, and the fact that Jokic has been fat since he was a child and has excellent lower limb strength.

But in the final analysis, it all comes down to one thing: endurance is part of talent.

Embiid's playing style is similar to Towns, but the main difference between him and Towns is their personality. Embiid's difference is more due to his glass physique.

Drafted by the league in 2014 but not playing until the 2016-2017 season, this type of player theoretically would not have a professional career.

It is early April and the curtain of the 4-2017 season has fallen.

In the West, the Rockets opened fire in the second half and eventually achieved a league-best record of 65 wins.

Harden played very well, averaging 31.4 points, 5.8 rebounds and 7.8 assists per game. He is a hot candidate for the MVP this season.

The Pelicans finished second in the Western Conference with 58 wins.

詹姆斯场均27.1分8.5板8.6助攻，生涯首次完成27+7+7的数据。

戴维斯场均26.9分11.1板2.6助攻1.5抢断2.6封盖。

The Warriors are third in the Western Conference with 54 wins.

Curry averaged 27.3 points, 5.3 rebounds and 6.7 assists per game.

These are also the only three teams in the Western Conference with more than 50 wins.

The Trail Blazers are fourth with 49 wins.

The Jazz are fifth with 48 wins.

The Thunder ranked sixth with 48 wins.

The Spurs are seventh with 47 wins.

The Clippers are ranked eighth with 45 wins.

The Kings eventually won 42 games, their best record since the 05-06 season, but they ultimately finished ninth in the Western Conference and missed the playoffs.

球队的10号秀米切尔打出了最佳新秀级别的表现，场均能够贡献20.5分3.7板3.7助攻1.5抢断，并且场均出手7次三分，命中率为34%。

Who between him and Simmons will become this year's best rookie is also a major topic of concern to the outside world.

In comparison, Tatum's rookie season can only be described as lukewarm, averaging only 15.7 points, 6 rebounds and 2.1 assists per game, and his 40% three-point shooting percentage was a rare highlight.

People outside are joking that the Kings selected Mitchell with the No. 5 pick and then selected Tatum with the No. 10 pick.

In the Eastern Conference, the Cavaliers' final record was 62 wins.

Hansen averaged 33.6 points, 6.7 rebounds and 9.1 assists per game.

Because of Malone's tactical adjustments, Hansen's average points per game hit a career high.

He and Harden are also the two most popular candidates for this year's MVP.

Jokic averaged 23.4 points, 11.6 rebounds and 6.6 assists per game.

Jokic also benefited from the team's tactics and played the best performance of his career so far.

Considering that this is only his third season, the Cavaliers' selection of Jokic can be said to be the most cost-effective draft pick in NBA history.

Gilbert would not be too much of a stretch to kneel down to Hansen, even if he kowtowed a few times.

The Celtics are second with 60 wins.

Durant averaged 26.4 points, 6.8 rebounds and 5.4 assists per game;

Irving averaged 23.4 points, 5.2 rebounds and 6.4 assists per game;

Towns averaged 18.8 points, 10.6 rebounds, 2.4 assists and 1.2 blocks per game.

The Raptors are third with 58 wins.

The Bucks are fourth with 54 wins.

The 76ers are fifth with 51 wins.

The Pacers are sixth with 47 wins.

The Heat ranked seventh with 43 wins.

The Heat took Lauri Markkanen with the seventh pick in last year's draft.

In his rookie season, he averaged 15.2 points and 7.5 rebounds per game and had a 36.2% three-point shooting percentage.

The Heat's rebuilding speed is much faster than expected.

The Wizards are ranked eighth with 42 wins, and they will also be the Cavaliers' first-round opponent.

The Wizards' overall strength has not declined compared to the past two seasons, and the main reason for the decline in performance is also due to injuries.

Wall, one of their backcourt duo and the absolute core of the team, only played 44 games due to injury, especially after the All-Star Game, he basically did not play much.

But the good news is that Wall made a comeback before the end of the season, and his condition does not seem as bad as imagined.

Of course, whether Wall is injured or not, it will still be difficult for the Wizards to compete with the Cavaliers.

Especially in the interior, their starting center, the 33-year-old Gortat, has seen a significant decline in form this season, averaging only 8.6 points and 7.4 rebounds per game.

Moreover, their starting power forward Markieff Morris is not a defensive mobile inside player, so Jokic's advantage in the interior will be huge.

The facts eventually proved this.

The Cavaliers eventually completed a 4-0 sweep of the Wizards.

Jokic averaged 4 points, 26 rebounds and 12 assists in 7 games, playing just like O'Neal.

There is a famous saying in basketball games that whoever controls the inside controls the world, and this saying is true.

After eliminating the Wizards, the Cavaliers also faced the 76ers in the second round.
