Basketball's No. 1 Anti-Fan

Chapter 51 The Kite Flyer

"Ah!"

Durant, who was training in the main stadium next door, sneezed violently.

The temperature in Oklahoma in November is a bit low.

……

After finishing the extra training in the evening, Hansen returned to the hotel, took a shower, and then went to bed and opened social media.

As expected, his social media has been attacked by his haters at this time.

"Beat Durant? Who gave you the courage to do that? Why don't you take a piss and look at yourself!"

"Just because you scored a buzzer-beater by luck, you think you're going to be in heaven?"

"I was at the scene. KD had already fought eight rounds of one-on-ones before fighting with Han Sen. He fought with Han when he was not in good physical condition."

"Han is a scheming boy. He studied KD's technical weaknesses and used the most shameless style of play. His victory was not glorious at all."

"KD has evolved now. It's impossible for Han to defend him, let alone beat him. That's just a pipe dream!"

……

Han Sen didn't think anything of it at first, but as he watched, he realized something was wrong.

When he was trying out with the Thunder, the people present were either Thunder staff or rookies trying out.

It’s okay to have one or two people on site surfing the Internet, but they can’t all be there, right?

Moreover, Durant only discovered this point about his technical evolution after careful research. How could just anyone on the Internet know that?
When he put all these doubts together, he suddenly understood.

This kid Durant is surfing at a high intensity right now!
After understanding this, he also started to use his secondary account to practice with Durant.

He figured out how to defend Durant.

……

On the second evening, the Ford Center, which could accommodate nearly 20,000 people, was packed.

The home team has an excellent record in the new season, Durant has performed explosively, and the opponent is the Cavaliers, so the game has attracted a lot of attention.

The Cavaliers arrived at the arena earlier to shoot warm-ups.

After Han Sen shot for a while, he felt a chill on his back, as if something dirty was staring at him.

He looked back and saw Durant looking at him with resentment in the other half of the court.

After confirming through eye contact, I found that it was the person I had stayed up all night fighting with on social media last night.

Han Sen smiled and waved to say hello, and Durant snorted coldly and turned away.

"Are you familiar with him?" O'Neal came over and asked after seeing Hansen's actions.

"It's just so-so." Han Sen smiled and turned back.

“But we’ll get more familiar with each other.”

After the warm-up, the opening ceremony will begin.

This was Han Sen's first start in his career, and because they were a visiting team, his introduction was a bit sloppy.

"Number 77, Han Sen."

That's all the introduction.

But even this brief introduction caused the audience to boo him enthusiastically.

Whether it is No. 77 or Hansen, they are enough to attract hatred.

After the opening ceremony, the starting lineups of the two teams were announced one after another.

Cavaliers: Mo Williams, Hansen, James, Cunningham, O'Neal
Thunder: Westbrook, Sefolosha, Durant, Jeff Green, Nenad Krstic
O'Neal jumped to get the offensive ball for the Cavaliers. At the beginning of the game, James held the ball and O'Neal sat in the low post to receive the ball and went inside.

This tactic was no different from the one used at the beginning of the season, but it worked, and O'Neal scored on the rebound to give the Cavaliers the lead.

On the one hand, the offensive space on the court is good, and on the other hand, the Thunder's inside line is relatively weak.

Kostic is a classic European inside player. On the offensive end, he has inside finishing and half-court shots. He is also a technical center with waist-level coordination, but his defense and rebounding are average. Green, who is his inside partner, is a power forward who is swinging from the three position to the four position, and his assisting defense is also average.

Of course, the Thunder played well this season not because of their defense, but because of their offense.

The key to winning against them lies in whether we can limit Durant's performance.

The Thunder attacked half court.

"Look at me, I'm here."

At this moment, Hansen smiled and waved at Durant who had just taken a position. That little expression looked as annoying as it could be.

Durant was originally planning to run an off-ball tactic, but when he saw this scene and recalled the battle with "Han Mi" on social media last night, he changed his mind and called for a one-on-one tactic.

Westbrook saw this and started making tactical calls, and quickly passed the ball over.

After receiving the ball, Durant turned around and faced the basket, ignoring Hansen's pull-up shot.

Hansen jumped up to interfere, but still failed to stop Durant from shooting. Durant showed his hot form this season and the basketball went into the pocket.

This is what Hansen meant by doubling the difficulty of defense, because he couldn't force Durant to break through to the right as he did during the tryout.

Moreover, after Durant changed his shooting method to from bottom to top instead of across the right side of his face, the entire shooting action became more consistent and faster.

"Is this what you call a blowout?" After making the shot, Durant looked at Hansen with a sneer.

Han Sen shrugged, showing no anger at all.

This made Durant look unhappy.

In the Cavaliers' offense, O'Neal continued to hold the ball under the basket. This time Durant retreated to the basket. O'Neal attacked Kostic while being double-teamed, causing damage and winning the opportunity for two free throws.

The Thunder's inside and outside lineup is really top-heavy.

O'Neal played comfortably at the beginning, his shooting became smoother, and he made both free throws.

Durant arrived at the frontcourt and didn't wait for Hansen to make any move, and continued to ask for the ball with his back to the basket.

This time Han Sen held his waist and prevented him from catching the ball comfortably.

Seeing this, Westbrook dribbled the ball over and passed it to Durant, then slipped to the baseline to clear the strong side.

At this time, Westbrook had just finished his rookie season and was still just a little brother who followed Durant's lead.

After getting the ball, Durant did not choose to pull up for the shot. Instead, he turned around and broke through from the right, then stopped suddenly and shot.

Hansen followed Durant on this ball and interfered with him enough.

But Durant was in such good shape that he shot the ball into the basket despite the defense.

After landing, Durant was high and yelled at Han Sen, "Yes, I will blow you up, but I will blow you up!"

You can totally see how much anger he has in his heart.

Unfortunately, Han Sen had already turned around and ran to the front court, and his roar hit the air wall.

Fortunately, the photographer on the scene reacted quickly and immediately moved the camera to Han Sen's face.

Han Sen's expression remained calm at this time, which made the fans at the scene agitated.

This guy's face is as thick as the foundation he puts on.

No, it’s not that there was no change. The corners of this guy’s mouth were raised, and he was actually still smiling!
The noise soon turned into boos.

Han Sen's anti-fan value began to rise uncontrollably.

During the Cavaliers' offense, O'Neal was directly double-teamed by three people when he received the ball.

O'Neal turned around and passed the ball to Cunningham at the baseline, who made a steady shot from an open position.

6:4.

The Cavaliers have a firm grasp on the situation on the court.

Durant still wants the ball.

He now felt as if his chest was being pressed down by a thousand-pound stone. Only by beating Hansen up could he vent the anger in his heart.

However, this time Hansen suddenly rushed out from the side while defending and directly intercepted Westbrook's pass to Durant.

James took the lead and crossed the center line, then performed his signature tomahawk dunk after receiving a pass from Hansen.

"Kevin, don't get too involved with Han!"

Just then, someone from the Thunder bench shouted at Durant.

Oops, I've been discovered!
Han Sen looked at the man who had just shouted, Thunder head coach Scott Brooks.

I actually forgot about him.

The reason why the Cavaliers lost to the Heat in the last game was because Wade kept using pick-and-rolls to target O'Neal, which not only improved his touch, but also forced Brown to replace O'Neal.

When O'Neal leaves the court, the Cavaliers have no advantage in the interior.

The best way to avoid this situation when playing against the Thunder is to put Durant into a stand-up singles game.

Durant has no organizational support, and his physical strength cannot support him to produce at the same level as Olajuwon and Jordan, so his singles are not lethal.

Hansen's social media accounts were full of insults before the game, and he made provocative moves on the court, all with this purpose in mind.

Durant was also very cooperative. He was already excited from the moment he broke through on the right and made a quick stop and jump shot, which he was not good at during the tryout, trying to prove something.

Durant still respects his mentor very much, and no longer asks for the ball to play one-on-one after reaching the frontcourt.

But Han Sen couldn't let him have his wish.

We agreed to fight with each other for the whole night, how could you surrender in just a few moves?
"Is this what you just yelled about, beat me up? Why are you so scared after just one interception?"

Han Sen looked at Durant with an expression that said, "I look down on you."
