Basketball's No. 1 Anti-Fan

Chapter 38 Leader of the Cavaliers
After a while, Ma Long came to the locker room.

"Are you okay?" Ma Long came in and pointed at his chest.

"It was still a little painful at first, but when you asked, it suddenly stopped hurting." Han Sen smiled and patted his chest.

Malone smiled warmly.

"Mike asked you to go to his office." The Mike here refers to head coach Brown.

Han Sen nodded and stood up.

"Admit your mistake later. Mike is quite approachable." On the way there, Malone reminded Hansen again.

Han Sen also nodded seriously.

After the summer league ended, he was still thinking about how to unite Ma Long.

But now it seems that there is no need for that. Judging from his every move today, Ma Long has already regarded him as a disciple.

So no matter what he thought, at least there was no need to make the other person angry in front of Malone.

When he entered the head coach's office, Hansen saw Brown sitting there with a dark face as if he wanted to kill someone.

Brown motioned for Malone to go out and close the door.

"Do you know where you went wrong now?"

Han Sen shook his head.

This reaction made Brown stand up as if he had a spring on his butt.

"Andre (Valejao) pushed me first, and I don't think there is anything wrong with me pushing him back." Han Sen answered confidently.

Brown slammed the table in anger. Is that the point?

The focus is on James!

You blocked James like this in front of so many people, doesn't James have any dignity? !
Although the team staff reacted quickly and confiscated all the reporters' cameras, they couldn't confiscate their mouths!

Of course, Brown would never say such a thing, as it would be too flattering.

"Do you know what is the most important thing for a team?" Brown took a breath.

Han Sen didn't answer because it was obviously not a question to him.

"It's the team!" Sure enough, Brown answered his own question.

"Basketball is a team sport, and a team needs a leader. LeBron is that leader, and others must unite closely around him so that the team can play to its best and go further."

This team has been together for so many seasons, and its greatest achievement is not reaching the finals and getting its head shaved?
"Coach, you are right." Han Sen nodded.

Brown was stunned. He had never expected Han Sen to answer like that.

Does this person know how to chat?

"Ahem!" Brown coughed awkwardly, "Do you know where you went wrong now?"

Han Sen still shook his head.

"You!" Brown pointed at Hansen, his veins bulging.

"Did you know that today's training is open to the media?"

"know."

"You know your defensive moves are so aggressive? If this gets reported it will be detrimental to the team's unity!"

"Will it?" Han Sen was puzzled. "We gave it our all in training and put up a fierce fight. Shouldn't the media report that we are determined to make a comeback?"

"you!"

The table once again took a thousand points of critical hit from Brown.

Brown sat back in his chair in anger.

It's just a pig, so it should understand what he means.

Han Sen obviously didn't want to continue what he was saying.

"go out!"

Brown yelled, pointing at the door.

"Yes, Coach."

Han Sen stood up and left the coach's office.

I opened the door and Malone was still there.

When Malone saw him for the first time, he sighed helplessly, then motioned for him to go back first, and then he went into Brown's office alone.

Han Sen felt conflicted as he watched this scene.

When we returned to the locker room, the Cavaliers players had all returned one after another, but James was nowhere to be found.

At this time, the Cavaliers players looked at him with clear eyes.

The former members of the Cavaliers looked at him with hostility.

The new team members looked at him with a bit of admiration.

Obviously, Han Sen was not the only one who felt the strange atmosphere in the Cavaliers training camp.

But most people would choose to remain silent when faced with this situation. After all, they are newcomers and their influence is insignificant.

Moreover, as Hansen said before, everyone knows how high James' status is in the Cavaliers.

It is always better to accept what comes your way and swallow your anger than to be kicked out.

After Cunningham changed his clothes, Hansen asked him to leave. In the evening, the two returned to the training hall to practice together.

"I know you want to get stronger quickly, but don't be too anxious and hurt yourself." After the first set of training, Cunningham couldn't help but remind Hansen.

"Don't worry, I know what's going on."

Han Sen really knew what was going on.

There was once a popular saying in China that the "Three Obediences and One Major" policy had ruined many players.

But in fact, the frequency of daily training of NBA players is no less than that of domestic players.

The key to the problem lies in the scientific nature of the training and the intensity of a single training session.

Training doesn’t actually need to last too long, but the intensity must be high, otherwise there will be no effect.

"Dant, you should work on developing your three-point shot. You don't want to be used as a background every day during training, right?" Han Sen also reminded Cunningham.

What Han Sen said is true. If Cunningham does not develop his three-point shooting, today's experience will be his daily routine for the Cavaliers.

Of course, this is not just to avoid being used as a background board, because short inside players like Cunningham can only develop into space inside players if they want to survive in the future.

3D type power forwards are still quite popular.

"I know, there's only one person in Cleveland who doesn't practice three-pointers."

Cunningham's words amused Hansen, and this guy became more and more bold.

Just then, the door of the training hall was pushed open.

The person at the door bent over and walked in. It was Ilgauskas.

Cunningham subconsciously covered his mouth, and Hansen pulled his hand down.

At such a long distance, Ilgauskas doesn't have a very good hearing.

Ilgauskas walked up to them with a smile and said to Hansen, "Can we talk?"

Han Sen nodded.

"I'm going to practice over there." Cunningham took the ball and went to the other side of the training hall.

"What do you want to talk to me about?" Han Sen did not ask Ilgauskas how he knew he was here. After all, he had been with the Cavaliers for more than ten years.

"I know there was some misunderstanding between you and LeBron."

"No, I haven't spoken to him." Han Sen didn't know what Ilgauskas' purpose was.

"LeBron is actually a very hard-working person. He seems to be successful from the beginning, but he can't achieve that without hard work."

Han Sen shrugged. He didn't want to hear these words praising James.

But he didn't expect what Ilgauskas said next.

"But it is precisely because of his continued success that he sometimes becomes self-centered and thinks everything around him should revolve around him."

Is Ilgauskas explaining why James would give him trouble?
This does make sense, but now he really doesn't know why Ilgauskas came to see him.

"I hope you don't hold any hostility towards him. After all, he is the one who brought you here."

Han Sen frowned immediately when he heard this. The people from the Cavaliers seemed to have overlooked that he was brought here by force.

Seeing Han Sen's expression change, Ilgauskas quickly changed the subject:
"Of course, more importantly, it would make the atmosphere of the Cavaliers tense. Once a team has internal conflicts, its strength will be greatly reduced."

Han Sen finally understood that Ilgauskas was here to mediate.

"I just said it, I haven't even talked to him, how can I be hostile to him? They are the ones who are looking for trouble with me."

“I’ve seen your social media.”

"Is presenting facts considered hostility?" Han Sen didn't understand why people around James always thought that presenting facts was hostile?
"You will be in a passive position in the Cavaliers if you do this." Ilgauskas reminded.

"I don't care. At worst, you can just trade me." Han Sen did not accept the threat.

"In fact, what is really painful is not being traded, but being hidden." Ilgauskas looked at Hansen.

Han Sen frowned.

This statement is an effective threat.

And looking at Brown's attitude towards James, this is entirely possible.

Although he will still get a chance if James leaves next season, it would be a loss for him to waste an entire season.

"Of course, if that situation really happens, it will be a huge loss for the Cavaliers," Ilgauskas continued.

"You think highly of me."

"After all, I have played in the NBA for more than ten years and have met all kinds of people. I can still tell whether a player has the ability and whether he can help the team." Ilgauskas seemed to be speaking very honestly.

Of course, what he didn't say is that if Hansen was really traded or hidden because he blocked James in a training game, and this person was specifically requested by James, then the image that James had worked hard to build up in the Cavaliers over the years would collapse overnight.

Although the reporters’ cameras were confiscated, they still had their mouths to speak.

"If they don't bother me anymore, I won't bother myself either." Han Sen just wanted to become stronger and didn't want to waste his energy on this kind of internal friction every day.

Moreover, he didn't want Ma Long to be caught in the middle because of his affairs.

"I'll take care of LeBron," Ilgauskas assured Hansen, "and that guy Varejao."

The two sides reached an agreement, and Hansen also invited Cunningham to come over to continue training.

When Ilgauskas left, Hansen couldn't help but stare at his back for a while.

Compared to James, "Big Z" is more like the leader of the Cavaliers.
