Basketball's No. 1 Anti-Fan

Chapter 48 How Shameless Can People Be

The Magic called the final timeout and they had 1 second left.

When Hansen came off the field, he was greeted with wild cheers from the fans, and when he walked to the bench, his teammates yelled and shouted at him.

He was substituted in at the last minute, but helped the team change the outcome of the game.

Brown's face was also beaming with joy, and he also enjoyed the feeling of being in control of the situation.

In the last second, the Magic arranged an alley-oop tactic for Howard, but the Cavaliers' defense was in place and the tactic was not executed. Carter finally caught the ball and threw it far away, but the time limit expired.

103:102.

Thanks to Hansen's miraculous 3+1 in the final moments, the Cavaliers completed the final reversal.

"Han saved the Cavs, he saved LeBron."

When the Cavaliers players began to run the court and the crowd began to cheer, Barkley commented on Hansen again.

I can’t imagine what the scene would be like for the Cavaliers and James after being eliminated by the Magic last season and losing to the Magic in the opening game.

Having completed the buzzer beater, Han Sen naturally got the opportunity to attend the post-match press conference.

James also went with him.

詹姆斯今晚虽然手感不佳，19投只有7中，但是他仍然砍下了23分11板12助攻的三双数据。

In fact, O'Neal performed well tonight, with 15 points, 8 rebounds and 2 blocks, but with his big body, it would be difficult for four people to squeeze in.

When Han Sen walked into the press conference, he saw that it was already packed with reporters.

This scene was the biggest he had ever seen.

The three of them sat down, and reporters began to scramble to ask questions.

After such a wonderful game, there is a lot of news material worth reporting.

The first reporter to ask questions was James.

"The Magic team double-teamed you at the last moment. How did you find Han?"

As soon as this question came out, Han Sen's excitement instantly dropped by half.

He looked at the reporter again and felt that he looked familiar. He squinted at his press card.

Windhorst.

When he saw the name, he remembered that after the preseason game against the Bobcats, this guy also came up and asked questions related to James.

And this guy was the first one to be named at the press conference last time.

So, this is James' personal reporter?
"You know, I'm a team player. I'll always be watching where my teammates are. When they start to double-team me, I know there's an open player. You know, it's a great feeling when my teammates finally make that shot."

shameless!
It was clearly you who drew up the tactics that failed to execute and were forced to pass the ball, yet you were made to act as if everything was under control.

"Your touch wasn't very good tonight, but you still got a triple-double in the end. How did you do it?" Windhorst continued to ask.

After listening to this, James first smiled, then shook his head: "You know, none of us can guarantee our touch every night, but I can lead the team in other aspects. This is my job. I'm glad I did a good job."

Han Sen's current mood was exactly the same as when he hit the buzzer-beating three-pointer on the court and saw James celebrating wildly.

It was clearly his buzzer beater, but why does it feel like James is the one who contributed the most to the victory?
Finally, after a series of questions, reporters began to pass the microphone to Hansen.

"Did you ever think about receiving the ball from LeBron at the last moment and having the chance to end the game?"

Unfortunately, that strange feeling continues.

Is this Cleveland?

Hansen felt a little uncomfortable during the preseason. Now it seems that the time when James was not there was the most comfortable time.

So he should say thank you for the pass? I just did what I was supposed to do?

He won't tolerate it!
"I know what the coach is doing when he puts me in at the last minute, and as long as the ball is in my hands, I can finish the game."

There was no ambiguity in his words, only certainty. Hansen didn't say much, but his aura was strong. "You and LeBron seem to have a very good chemistry. Are you looking forward to playing with him more often?"

"I can shoot three-pointers, I can defend, I can also dribble and break through, and I have a good chemistry with Shaq. I mean, as long as I'm on the court, I can contribute. I hope the coach can put me on the court for 48 minutes."

Han Sen looked at the reporter with a smile. His mentality was now calm. "You can ask whatever you want. I promise I will answer not a single word of what you want."

After several questions, the reporters finally realized that Han Sen would not continue to talk in response to their questions, even though they had already made it clear.

So in the end, they had no choice but to give up and start asking questions honestly.

In this post-match press conference, Hansen won in the end.

Because of this experience, unless those reporters want to make themselves look bad, they will not ask him that kind of questions again.

After the press conference, Hansen was humming a little tune and was about to go back to the locker room, but he found that Thomas had arrived at the press conference door without him noticing.

Han Sen knew that he came to watch his debut tonight.

"Just now, your sneaker quotation contract was updated." Thomas said to Hansen with a smile.

Han Sen was delighted when he heard this, and then he pulled Thomas to a secluded corner where no one was.

After being selected in the draft, Thomas received multiple sneaker contract offers, including not only domestic brands such as Anta and Li Ning, but also world-renowned shoe companies such as Nike and Adidas.

One point that is easily overlooked is that although Han Sen's draft pick is not as good as Yao Ming and Yi Jianlian, he is the first outside player selected in the first round by the University of Eastern!
Inside line and outside line are two completely different concepts in the shoe factory, because inside line has not sold shoes since ancient times.

So even though Hansen is not considered a popular rookie, and his draft pick was even significantly higher, the huge sneaker market behind him still makes shoe manufacturers scramble for him.

Faced with that kind of scene, Han Sen calmly said to wait and see.

Because although we received quite a few contracts, the quotations were not high.

You have to know that things like sneaker contracts are basically not short-term contracts, they are usually signed for several years.

So Han Sen hopes to wait until he has proven his worth before signing.

At that time, Thomas advised him to be cautious and sign the first contract first, so that he could ask for more in the new contract after he had proven his worth.

But Han Sen did not accept his advice because he had absolute confidence in himself.

The price of the sneakers Thomas is currently receiving has increased from approximately $50 a year to $100 million.

In other words, his buzzer-beater tonight brought him nearly two to three million dollars in revenue.

This must not be signed.

And after being disgusted by reporters for a while, he finally felt the benefits of being selected by the Cavaliers.

Like Thomas said earlier, the exposure here is really good.

As long as he continues to play well, his contract will definitely continue to increase.

……

After a good night's sleep, Hansen happily opened various sports media the next day.

No matter how long a human being lives, desires will never disappear.

Han Sen was no exception. After completing the winning move, he wanted to see how the media would praise him, or rather, how they would report on him.

But after he actually read the media reports, his expression became even more constipated than yesterday.

James made the pass of the century, greatness needs no further explanation

"Triple-double in first game, James can do whatever you want him to do"

"The man chosen by James completed the buzzer-beater and brought the final championship puzzle to the Cavaliers"

……

It turns out that people can be so shameless!
