Basketball's No. 1 Anti-Fan

Chapter 402: No spray, no play
Hansen didn't pay much attention to Tatum at first. After all, the purpose of choosing Lu was to let Lu handle these things.

But Tatum's performance in the subsequent game against the Bucks left Hansen speechless.

The biggest change for the Bucks this season is the head coach, with Budenholzer replacing Jason Kidd.

Then Budenholzer quickly proved his strength as the best coach. He led the Bucks to a four-game winning streak at the start of the season, suppressing teams such as the Celtics, 76ers and Cavaliers to top the Eastern Conference standings.

Although his on-the-spot command ability is average, he has a good idea of ​​how to bring out Antetokounmpo's strengths.

And no one knows what method he used, but Antetokounmpo actually developed a relatively stable outside shooting ability in the new season, which makes him very difficult to defend.

This game was played away, and the Kings fell behind at the start.

After Hansen improved his wingspan, he can match up with small forwards on the defensive end, but he still can't match up with players of Antetokounmpo's size in the interior.

The Kings' two inside players, Sabonis was completely unable to keep up with Antetokounmpo, and Stan was a rare player who was completely suppressed in terms of talent.

When the game entered the second half, Lu used a small lineup, with Hansen and Mitchell opening fire one after another.

However, Budenholzer did not follow Lu's rhythm like Malone did, but insisted on playing to his advantage in the interior, and the two sides were deadlocked in the score.

And Tatum's performance in this period was struggling again.

There is nothing wrong with his defense, he works very hard, and he does the dirty work like positioning very well, but the key problem is that he has little desire to shoot.

Even when there are some opportunities to shoot, the kind of ball that can be passed or shot, he will definitely choose to pass the ball. He will even miss some shooting opportunities when he should have shot the ball.

Han Sen couldn't tell whether he was lacking in confidence or was deliberately trying to make himself look more like a team.

Hansen scored 20 points in the final quarter, but the Kings were always at a disadvantage in the interior, and coupled with the pit they had dug before, they eventually lost the game.

After losing this game, their record at the start of the season became 2 wins and 2 losses.

Although the season has just begun and this is the Kings, because of Han Sen and the influence of Han Sen's original decision, both the Kings and Han Sen have been questioned wildly.

"The Kings can't rise, not even God can!"

"Han made the worst choice. He might as well have retired this summer like Michael did and then made a comeback with the Cavaliers."

"Han's arrival ruined Tatum and Mitchell. Rookies need the ball to develop, but Han took away their ball rights."

……

The overwhelming doubts brought Han Sen a lot of black fans.

At this time, Han Sen opened the black fan system again and exchanged his height in the achievement unlocking system.

The team is not performing well and all he can do is continue to improve himself.

And now he needs to improve more at the small forward position, and he also needs to improve in height.

However, the black fan value required to exchange height is much more than that of arm span, and height is different from arm span, the higher the better.

As your height increases, your center of gravity when dribbling will increase, and the use of various technical moves will become completely different.

So Hansen finally chose to increase his barefoot height from the original 198 to 2 meters. This height is more than enough to play as a small forward in the small ball era.

And it must be mentioned here that the height of NBA players is very confusing. Even the official ones, some places give the barefoot height, while some places give the height with shoes.

That's why there is the magical example of James, who was 2 meters tall, growing to 03 meters at the end of his career.

Han Sen's growth to this extent would not be a problem even if it was noticed by others. He would not have to worry about being taken for biopsy for still growing taller at the age of 30.

Just like the last time when his arm span increased, after exchanging for the height talent, Han Sen slept for a long time. When he woke up, he felt sore all over, as if he had run tens of thousands of meters the day before.

And unlike the last time his wingspan increased, Han Sen didn't actually feel much of the change in his height.

After all, he is already tall enough, and it would be particularly obvious if this was added to other places, such as fingers.

However, it was still very intuitive for Han Sen to measure his height himself.

After returning to Sacramento, the Kings continued their home game, and it was a focus game because their opponent was the Warriors.

As Divac said at the beginning, although Sacramento and San Francisco are not in the same city, they are no different from being in the same city.

Moreover, the Warriors are the best performing team in the Western Conference since the start of the season. They have surpassed the Pelicans and Rockets to top the Western Conference standings.

George proved that his technical characteristics fit seamlessly with the Warriors, or to put it another way, he proved that he is the most suitable small forward for the Warriors besides Durant, which is more suitable than James in theory.

Another surprising player for the Warriors this season is Kevon Rooney in the interior.

When Rooney first debuted, he was a Durant-type player, a swingman with very strong one-on-one abilities.

Just like players in the Bird mold, there is only one Durant in the world. Moreover, Rooney had knee surgery right after entering the NBA, which further reduced his mobility and ultimately forced him to become an inside swingman.

This season, he gained weight and became a center.

The growth did not reduce his speed too much, but it brought about a qualitative change in confrontation, and his static talent is very good. He is 2 meters tall and has a wingspan of 06 meters, which makes him a very good mobile rim protector, which is exactly what this Warriors needs most.

Therefore, this game is more difficult for the Kings than the game against the Bucks. If they lose this "derby", Sacramento fans will tend to drive to Oakland to watch the game, and the Kings' record will become 2 wins and 3 losses. A winning rate of less than % will also increase the outside world's doubts about Hansen.

Of course, if the Kings can win this game, their current situation will change fundamentally.

So although this is just a regular season game, its importance is self-evident.

The fans are also well aware of this. Tonight, not only is the Golden One Arena still packed with people, but the enthusiasm of the fans is also unprecedentedly high.

Under the enthusiasm of the fans, Hansen started to go all out in the first quarter.

The 3 cm height difference is not obvious in front of the mirror, but the difference is very obvious in the competition.

It was particularly obvious when George was defending Han Sen. Originally, he had a physical advantage over Han Sen, and when defending, he only needed to judge Han Sen's offensive intentions.

But tonight, he could clearly feel that he was being crushed in all aspects by Han Sen.

This made him feel so incredible that after a defensive foul he couldn't help but ask Han Sen: "Have you grown taller again?"

As an opponent on the court, his feelings are much more obvious than off the court.

"Guess." Han Sen replied with a smile.

George pursed his lips and shook his head.

Rather than that impossible thing, the more likely thing is that Hansen has become stronger in running and jumping than before.

Hansen contributed 22 points in the first quarter. Under his leadership, the Kings scored 38 points in the first quarter and led the Warriors by double digits with 38 to 28 in the quarter.

When the game entered the second quarter, the Warriors obviously strengthened their defense against Hansen.

In the first quarter, Kerr used George more to defend alone, but in the second quarter, it became a double-team of George and Green. At this time, the Kings encountered a similar situation as before against the Bucks. Tatum's fear of shooting allowed the Warriors to double-team unscrupulously.

Finally, at the end of the first half, the Warriors tied the score at 62.

Both sides entered the halftime break.

Hansen was interviewed by the venue reporter before going back.

When he returned to the locker room and saw Tatum sitting there chatting and laughing with Hield, Hansen took off his jersey and threw it in front of him:

"If I had known you were such a wimp that you couldn't even take a shot, I should have told them to send you to Cleveland!"

Han Sen's action instantly made the entire locker room quiet.

Tatum also grabbed the bench with both hands. It was obvious that he was angry about being humiliated in public by Hansen, but he didn't dare to refute in front of Hansen.

Han Sen ignored him and sat back in front of his closet.

At this time, no one in the locker room dared to continue talking. Who wouldn't want to be in trouble at this time?

Until Lu and Van Gundy arrived in the locker room.

The weird atmosphere in the locker room quickly made Lu realize that something was wrong. Although he didn't know what happened, when he saw Tatum's flushed face, he probably guessed it.

In fact, in the previous games, it was not so much that Tatum was in bad shape, but rather that there was something wrong with Tatum's mentality.

Because it’s not a question of whether or not the shot can be made, but rather the desire to shoot is too low.

Lu dry coughed, asked Van Gundy to explain the tactics for the second half, and then motioned Tatum to go out with him.

After the half-time break, both sides continued the competition in the second half.

The Warriors used the death lineup, and Lu responded with the same tactics.

Curry came up and made a three-pointer, helping the Warriors take the lead.

Looking back, Hansen broke through and changed direction, passed George's defense, and rushed into the inside to score 2+1 despite Green's help defense.

It was not easy for Green to limit Hansen originally, and now that Hansen's height and wingspan have increased, he is even more difficult to defend.

Of course, more importantly, Hansen recovered his physical strength after the halftime break.

Seeing this, Cole continued to signal for a double-team defense on Hansen.

When Han Sen dribbled into the paint again, he was double-teamed by three people. He seized the opportunity and quickly passed the ball to the outside.

The direction the ball flew straight to was where Tatum was standing.

Tatum seemed a little surprised when he saw the ball, because he couldn't understand why Hansen would pass the ball to him after humiliating him like that in the locker room.

But he did not hesitate this time, because it was not that he was afraid to take action, nor was he a wimp.

Tatum's shooting speed is not fast, but Hansen's offense has tied up a lot of the Warriors' defense, and it is too late to assist in rotation.

"Shh!"

With a crisp sound, Tatum's three-pointer came up and fell.

After scoring the goal, Tatum looked in the direction of Hansen, but found that Hansen didn't even look at him and had already turned around and ran to the backcourt.

He subconsciously clenched his fists.

It seems that Han Sen did not intend to pass the ball to him just now, or Han Sen just instinctively passed the ball to the teammate in the open position.

George received the ball in the corner and faked a three-pointer to shake off Tatum, then dribbled towards the basket.

However, just as he raised the ball high to perform a dunk, Tatum came up from behind and saw the opportunity to block the ball in his hand.

This instantly ignited the arena. Tatum's past offensive and defensive performance was a clear rebound compared to the first half.

After completing the block, Tatum let out a cathartic roar.

He subconsciously turned to look at Han Sen again, but found that Han Sen still didn't pay much attention to him, which made him clench his fists even tighter.

This bounce-back performance from Tatum created some subtle changes in the game.

The Kings' current players on the court besides Hansen are Mitchell, Hield, Tatum and Sabonis.

These people all have spatial abilities, especially Hield. His outside shooting is very threatening and will tie up a lot of defense on the weak side.

If Tatum dares to shoot on the strong side at this time, the Warriors' defensive rotation requirements will become higher.

Moreover, Tatum felt very angry after being ignored by Hansen.

Hansen made another breakthrough pass. After Tatum received the ball, he saw Thompson trying hard to defend him. He did not shoot first, but made a fake three-pointer and then rushed into the inside with big strides.

Green had to watch Hansen unable to provide assistance, so Rooney had to let Sabonis go and move to the basket.

Because it was a defensive rotation, his contraction was not so thorough, and he soon realized that something was wrong.

Tatum flew up when he was still half a meter away from the basket, and he pulled the ball very high.

It was too late for him to react at this point.

"Oh!"

When Tatum slammed the ball into the basket over Rooney, the entire No. 1 Arena was in an uproar.

In fact, what Hansen said in the locker room was also what many fans thought.

Although Doncic, who joined the Cavaliers, was beaten by Hansen on both offense and defense in his debut, he performed very well in subsequent games.

在前不久对阵马刺队的比赛中，东契奇更是出场40分钟，18投11中得到了31分8篮板4助攻，砍下了职业生涯的第一个30+。

Although this has something to do with Jokic, Jokic is the kind of "blood transfusion" player who can make the opponent play the highlight of his career even if you give him a Westbrook at the end of his career.

But fans will naturally feel that it should have been Tatum instead of Doncic who should have been sent away. After all, Doncic was able to perform like this in his rookie season, and his future achievements will definitely be higher than Tatum.

However, trades are like spilled water, which cannot be taken back. They can only hope that Tatum will perform strongly.

Then in the second half, they finally saw it.

This was also the first time that Han Sen looked at Tatum.

Why does this guy have to criticize a lot before he knows how to play basketball?
