Basketball's No. 1 Anti-Fan

Chapter 389 Knight Dynasty!

110 to 101, the Cavaliers finally defeated the Pelicans on the road, changing the score of the finals to 3 to 0.

Davis contributed 26 points, 14 rebounds, 3 steals and 3 blocks, and played an MVP-level performance. He was also the key to the Pelicans' final loss of only single digits.

But the Cavaliers were all evil tonight, and he ultimately failed to lead the team to victory.

The Cavaliers also celebrated on the sidelines after winning the game, because now they can not only win the championship, but also one step away from sweeping the championship.

"They were pushing us like crazy on the court and the referees were just turning a blind eye. It was more like a boxing match than a basketball game."

At the post-game press conference, James questioned the referee's decision.

However, James' voice did not attract much attention, because their attention was all on the Cavaliers' post-match press conference.

Hansen did not accept any interviews from reporters before the game, but he could not miss the post-game press conference because all the reporters were concerned about his leaving the Cavaliers.

So when Han Sen showed up, the press conference, which was packed with reporters, became abuzz.

However, at the beginning of the press conference, reporters still asked questions related to the competition.

For example, the issue of penalty standards mentioned by James before.

Han Sen sneered.

When the penalty scale is in his favor, it is a fair penalty. Once it is not so favorable, it is an unfair penalty. This is very James.

This is how James’ previous “shocking kneeling” came about.

"Why doesn't he just choose to retire?" Han Sen asked a soul-searching question after putting away his smile.

Every time he failed, it was either his teammates' fault or the referee's fault. Anyway, I never saw him say that there was any problem with him.

Since you never have any problems, you will never reflect on yourself. If you don't reflect on yourself, you won't make targeted improvements, and you won't make any big progress. Then you will never be successful, and it will be a closed logical loop.

Of course, Hansen also knew that James would never retire.

James may not have much ambition, but he is thick-skinned enough. If he doesn't retire, he will make a lot of money. Even if the whole world criticizes him, he will pretend not to hear it and keep going.

After talking about the game, the reporters turned their attention to the news of Han Sen's departure.

"Yes, I will leave Cleveland in the summer."

When Han Sen confirmed this, the scene was no longer agitated with reporters talking and talking, but was directly in chaos.

After all, news is just news, but now it’s confirmed by myself.

Reporters then asked Hansen why he wanted to leave Cleveland.

"Basketball has lost its challenge for me here."

Han Sen didn't tell the truth like he did with JR, because like he said, it was a secret.

There was another round of discussion in the audience.

Although this reason sounds far-fetched, it is just like what Jordan said when he retired: "Basketball no longer challenges me." It is the truth when it comes from their mouths.

The state of other players on the Cavaliers is indeed declining, but as long as Jokic is growing, the strength of the Cavaliers will not decline.

What's more, with the experience of this season, the Cavaliers management will also replace role players through trades or signings, and the Cavaliers will only be stronger next season.

That was indeed a "loss of challenge" for Han Sen.

Of course, one thing that can be drawn from tonight's game is that one of the side effects of Hansen's departure from the Cavaliers is that the league will no longer make targeted whistles against the Cavaliers.

After all, if Hansen stays and the Cavaliers strive for their fourth consecutive championship, what they may suffer from is not whistle, but all-round rule targeting.

"Where are you going?"

When the next reporter who stood up asked the next question naturally, the chaos at the scene stopped instantly.

All the reporters looked at Han Sen, hoping to hear explosive news next.

But it was obvious that Han Sen could not announce the result at this time.

Even he himself was not sure where he was going.

"We'll find out in the summer."

Han Sen's final answer was expected.

Although in the end, this press conference did not contain any substantive content, the post-match news reports still kept the news of Hansen's departure fermenting.

After all, for the other 28 teams except Cleveland, getting Hansen is more useful than playing badly.

I believe that this summer, other teams will do their best to recruit Hansen.

For a team like the Warriors, they thought George would be the best fit for them in the summer, but who would have thought that Hansen would become the biggest fish.

What, why 28?
Because it is impossible for James to really retire as Hansen said at the press conference, his team would definitely not be within the scope of Hansen's discussion.

Amid the outside world's discussions, Game 4 of the finals continued in New Orleans.

For the Pelicans, falling behind 0-3 means that they can never win the championship. All they have to do is try their best to avoid being swept.

After all, being swept in the finals is a shame for the players.

Especially for James, he had been swept by Duncan and Hansen before. If it happens again, he will no longer be the first on the list, but will be out of reach for others.

However, the Pelicans played their worst game in the series, even worse than G2.

They looked like the walking dead who had lost their souls, and their performance on both offense and defense was unbearable to watch.

This brings about a very serious consequence, because the Pelicans themselves are not a team that excels in offense. If the defense cannot hold up, the score difference on the field will become larger and larger as the game progresses.

At the end of the first half, they were trailing by as many as 20 points, and at the end of the third quarter, the difference reached 32 points.

The last quarter became complete garbage time, and a large number of fans at the scene began to leave.

It turned out that the fans who left were rational, because the memories deep in the minds of the fans who stayed were directly forced to be awakened.

The last quarter was garbage time and both teams played with their bench players.

However, the Cavaliers players had no intention of holding back.

On the one hand, the bench players have little chance of appearing in the finals. On the other hand, everyone knows that Hansen will leave. It is unknown whether the Cavaliers can reach the finals again after Hansen leaves, so they should cherish such opportunities.

On the other hand, the Pelicans' main players had lost their fighting spirit, and the bench players naturally gave up. In the end, the score difference widened, from 30 points to 40 points.

Barkley and others on the sidelines were no longer discussing the game itself, but whether the biggest score difference in the NBA Finals would be created tonight.

Before that, the biggest score difference in NBA history was in the 1998 Finals, the year when the "Last Shot" occurred.

In Game 3, the Jazz's offense was sluggish, scoring only 54 points, the lowest score in the finals since the 24-second offense rule. They also lost to the Bulls 54-96, a 42-point loss that set the biggest score difference in the finals.

With JR's three-pointer from the outside, the score on the field finally settled at 106 to 62. The Cavaliers defeated the Pelicans with a huge advantage of 44 points, and also swept the opponent to win the 2018 NBA championship.

They completed the dynasty in the most impressive way!

The Pelicans, formerly known as the Hornets, once lost to the Nuggets by 58 points during Paul's time, setting the largest point difference in the NBA playoffs. Now they have once again set the largest point difference in the finals!
When the game ended, the Cavaliers players, who were almost getting moldy from sitting on the sidelines but could no longer contain their emotions, stood up and cheered to celebrate.

At this time, most of the Pelicans fans at the scene had already left, and the remaining ones were fans who had tried every means to rush to the scene to witness the Cavaliers dynasty.

They also shed tears of excitement on the sidelines.

Cleveland, after having this dynasty, is no longer a sports desert city!
The live camera is given to Han Sen.

Han Sen was currently hugging the tearful JR and patting him on the back.

JR played well in the two games in New Orleans, averaging 17 points per game and shooting 50% from three-point range.

He completed Han Sen's request at the bonfire party and gave Han Sen the best parting gift with his performance.

Jokic was waiting beside them at this time, and he gave Hansen a big bear hug afterwards.

"Come on, I'll be waiting for you in the playoffs." Han Sen spoke, feeling Jokic's enthusiasm.

When they meet again after that, they will be opponents on the court.

Of course, if he goes to the West, it would be more accurate to say the Finals.

With the Celtics in the East, it won't be easy for Jokic to lead the team to the finals again.

There were many people waiting to hug and say goodbye, and after the initial celebration, it became a farewell party for the Cavaliers.

After returning to the locker room to change into championship T-shirts, the Cavaliers players returned to the scene to attend the championship award ceremony.

Silva also happily congratulated Hansen before the award ceremony.

Hansen's completion of the dynasty in the Cavaliers was originally a very conflicting thing for him, because he needed Hansen, but he didn't want Hansen to be too dominant.

The former is that the alliance needs his influence, and the latter is for the benefit of the alliance.

But now with Hansen announcing his departure from the Knights, this dilemma has disappeared.

Moreover, Hansen's words at the previous press conference that "staying in the Cavaliers is no longer a challenge" also show that he will not form a super team like James.

This best of both worlds approach made his congratulations come from the bottom of his heart.

This also allowed him to emphasize the achievements of the Cavaliers when he later announced the winner of the championship.

"The team that won the 2018 NBA championship is the Cleveland Cavaliers. They won the championship for the third consecutive year and created an extraordinary dynasty!"

When the championship trophy was handed to Gilbert, he was very excited.

Because it was known that Hansen would leave, the regret over his departure had dissipated over the past season, and at this point he was more of an achievement for the team.

With this dynasty, the Cavaliers' brand has been completely established, and it is no exaggeration to say that they have become a top team in the league.

He even walked past Griffin and Malone, personally handed the championship trophy to Hansen, hugged him and said words of thanks.

The value of his visit to Han Sen under the moonlight that night four years ago reached its climax at this moment.

This will also be a good story for the alliance in the future.

When Hansen called on his teammates to raise the championship trophy above their heads, the cheers at the scene reached their peak at this moment.

Silva then announced the final winner of the FMVP.

没有悬念，韩森以场均28.5分7板7.5助攻2.5抢断2封盖的数据成为fmvp。

This is also the worst statistic among all of Hansen's FMVPs. On the one hand, the Pelicans' defense is the same as that of the Supersonics back then, and is indeed the best in the league. But more importantly, the only suspenseful games in this game were G1 and G3, and Hansen's playing time in the remaining two games was very limited.

After winning the fmvp, Hansen achieved 6 championships and 6 fmvp, truly tying Jordan in terms of statistics.

Considering that Jordan was 35 years old when he achieved this achievement, and Hansen will not be 12 until December this year, he has truly surpassed Jordan.

After receiving the FMVP trophy from Russell's trembling hands, Hansen also reminded the latter to take care of himself.

Given his physical condition, Russell might end up being the one who breaks the promise.

After putting down the trophy, Hansen also gave his last FMVP acceptance speech with the Cavaliers.

"When I came back to Cleveland, I knew I was going to face a huge challenge that was different than what I had faced in Memphis, but I also knew it was a huge opportunity, and when I had success the first time, I believed I could do it again like I had in Memphis.

Although there were some twists and turns in the process, and Kyrie left us, we finally overcame many difficulties and achieved this. When we won the second championship, I became more convinced of that.

I won’t say that this year’s championship is the greatest championship, because every championship is the greatest for them. This is the greatest championship belonging to the Cavaliers and also to Cleveland.

Finally, I want to thank everyone on our organization for making my Cleveland career the perfect end to the season.”

The song finally ends, and it can come to a perfect end, which is the perfect ending for Hansen Cleveland's experience.

When Han Sen's speech ended, the fans at the scene completely lost control of their emotions and shouted Han Sen's name.

Hansen and Jokic attended the post-match press conference together.

"Nikola is the best inside player of this era, and he will lead the Cavaliers to continue to glory."

When everything was over, Hansen praised Jokic for the last time.

A reporter also asked about the topic related to Hansen and James again.

"I have enough respect for LeBron, he brought us three championship rings."

Han Sen still insisted on his previous point of view and even gave James the "respect" he wanted.

Besides, Hansen was selected by the Cavaliers because of James. James has won not only Hansen, but also the "respect" of all Cleveland people.
