Basketball's No. 1 Anti-Fan

Chapter 67 I Should Go to Team (Please Order First!)
Thomas was in California at the time. After receiving Hansen's call, he rushed to Los Angeles overnight, and the two met in the hotel room.

"Have you decided?" Thomas was not surprised by Hansen's decision to apply for a trade. After all, Hansen didn't want to come to Cleveland in the first place, and he wasn't having a good time after coming here.

"Am I still the rookie who was drafted beyond expectations?" Han Sen looked at Thomas.

Thomas shook his head.

In the two months with the Cavaliers, Hansen scored the buzzer-beater against the Magic in the opening game, and then performed well in defending Durant and Kobe. He even scored 25 points against the Celtics, which was a highlight.

Hansen proved that he can fight tough battles, and a 3D player who can attack with the ball is also the most popular type in the league.

His current trading value is more than just above the draft pick, he can be said to be a hot commodity.

But it is precisely because of this that he expressed his concerns: "I don't think the Cavaliers management will trade you."

Before, I couldn’t trade it, and now I’m reluctant to trade it.

Even though Han Sen has a big mouth and looks a bit like a thorn, in the NBA, ability is not a problem at all.

"You know, players are always the passive party in a trade." Thomas said this realistically. If the Cavaliers management didn't want to, even if Hansen made a scene, the final result might be that he would be put on ice.

Of course, what he didn't say is that Hansen's voice in the team is still too low. Although he has made some good performances, he is essentially just a role player.

"Even if you are traded in the end, if they send you to the West, or even to a bad team in the West, that may not be a good thing for you." Thomas then raised another concern.

"I've made up my mind." Thomas' words made some sense, but when Hansen thought of the Christmas battle that had just ended, the fire in his heart burned again.

Thomas stared at Hansen for a long time, and finally nodded. "I heard that Ferry is in Los Angeles now. I will go and communicate with him."

Even if he couldn't really make the deal, he would still fight for more rights and interests for Han Sen.

About an hour later, Thomas came back and brought Hansen some good news.

"I will give full consideration to your request, but the transaction is not a one-sided matter. I hope Han can remain professional before things come to a conclusion."

These are Ferry's exact words.

In other words, the Cavaliers agreed to his trade request.

Han Sen heaved a sigh of relief after hearing this, and once again affirmed his agent's professional ability.

After the Christmas game, the Cavaliers returned to Cleveland. They will have a short three-day break on Christmas Day, and then they will face the Celtics for the second time this season at home.

During this period, Hansen maintained his professionalism, trained well, and still participated in the promotional activities arranged by the team.

However, there is no wall that is impenetrable, and the news of Hansen's application for a trade was soon exposed by the media.

Even Kobe's post-game interview after the Christmas game was added.

"I don't know why they benched their best player, who was also the best defensive player, in the second half of the fourth quarter. He gave me a lot of problems."

As shown in the handshake after the game, Hansen won Kobe's appreciation with his performance.

But this kind of appreciation is undoubtedly material for media exaggeration at this time.

"The Cavaliers have found the piece of the championship puzzle they need most, but they don't seem to want to use it well." Barkley would naturally not be absent at this time.

"The Cavaliers' team atmosphere is a 'special case' in this league. You will never understand some of their behaviors unless you are in it." Larry Hughes, who once played for the Cavaliers and now plays for the Knicks, also expressed his views.

"LeBron has always been a kid and has never really learned how to lead a team." Pierce, who likes to watch the fun, also expressed his views on social media.

Afterwards, several managements who had contacted the Cavaliers also revealed the Cavaliers' asking price for Hansen.

The Trail Blazers said the Cavaliers asked them for LaMarcus Aldridge, the Thunder said they received an offer of Harden and Ibaka, and the Rockets said the entire team was not interested in the Cavaliers' pick.

Even if you are not a professional manager, you can easily draw a conclusion from these offers: the Cavaliers have no intention of trading Hansen. Hansen naturally came to this conclusion after reading the report. He then realized that he had overestimated the bottom line of the Cavaliers.

What Ferry said was essentially a strategy of procrastination.

This is not a new move, but it is the most common and effective way to control people.

After all, Hansen is not a superstar like Carter. If he really plays badly on the court, he may be put on the blacklist of managers of various teams.

Han Sen experienced the methods of NBA professional managers, but he did not intend to sit there and wait for death.

On the last day of rest, he found Kalil in advance and did not go to the locker room, but went directly to the training ground later.

When he appeared, his teammates all looked at him more or less.

Although they are players, it is difficult to completely block out the voices from the outside world.

Especially since Han Sen hadn't appeared in the locker room today.

When Cunningham saw this, he wanted to come over and say hello to Hansen, but Hansen looked at him and told him not to move.

Brown is now making all the lineups for the game.

Han Sen did not miss training today without reason, but asked for a leave of absence. Now that he has returned to the team, he is also planning to assign Han Sen to the starting team.

"No, I'm late for practice and should be on team three."

However, what Brown never expected was that Hansen actually made such a request.

In the previous offseason training camp, because the personnel had not been fully determined, Brown used the black and white team method, but now the 15-man roster is complete and can be divided into three teams: the first team is the starting team, the second team is the substitute, and the third team is the bench.

The players of these three teams are not completely fixed, but this is roughly the meaning: those who are assigned to the three teams for a long time basically cannot play in official matches.

For example, the current configuration of the three teams is: Delonte West, Coby Carr, Javad Williams, Leon Powe, and Darnell Jackson.

Except for West who will enter the rotation in some games, the rest of the players generally only have the opportunity to play in garbage time.

Brown didn't know what Han Sen wanted to do, he just wanted the ball or something like that, so he didn't think much about it and nodded in agreement with Han Sen's request.

He was also very considerate. He knew that Han Sen had just arrived and had not warmed up yet, so he arranged for Team One and Team Two to compete first.

First team: Mo Williams, Parker, James, Cunningham, O'Neal
Second team: Daniel Gibson, Coby Carr, Moon, Varejao, Zydrunas Ilgauskas

Because Han Sen was going to the third team, Parker joined the first team and Carl moved from the third team to the second team.

This type of training usually only lasts for one 12-minute quarter and depends more on the players' temporary condition.

The match between Team One and Team Two was more intense than expected. On the one hand, Gibson was in very good shape today, and on the other hand, Williams and Parker had a bad touch.

As one team gained strength, the other lost strength. Later on, Team One played like it was a formal game, with James taking the ball and rushing forward.

Moon has excellent jumping ability and a strong physique, but his defensive ability is average and he cannot stop James, so the situation of the game changed.

Team A finally won the game with a score of 16 to 10.

During the whole process, Hansen was warming up on the sidelines, and after he started to move his body, he took off his coat to reveal the training suit underneath.

Brown still didn't react, but Malone once again felt that something was wrong.

But before he could go over and ask, the game on the field had ended, and the next match would be between Team One and Team Three.
