Basketball's No. 1 Anti-Fan

Chapter 98 Fire and water are incompatible
As expected, Hansen's remarks caused a huge uproar after the game.

First of all, Khalil was forced to resign.

There are inextricable ties between ESPN and Nike, and that interest means that Nike only needs to put some pressure on ESPN and ESPN will make the "right" choice.

However, Khalil started working at TNT the next day.

As ESPN's biggest competitor, TNT has an obligation to do so at this time.

Secondly, Han Sen was directly criticized by James fans and became a hot topic.

"A person who can't play is actually qualified to comment on the core of the team."

"LeBron averaged 34.5 points, 8.8 rebounds and 6.8 assists against the Magic. No one on the Cavaliers is qualified to question him."

"If LeBron hadn't brought you to the Cavaliers, would you be where you are today? You are so ungrateful!"

"It's been difficult for LeBron. He led a bunch of monsters to the Eastern Conference Finals. He has contributed everything to Cleveland."

"I've already said he's a high-level LeBron hater. Get him out of Cleveland!"

……

Then, some media people spoke out.

Say what?

Naturally, he regretted voting for Han Sen during the best lineup vote.

"His defense is actually very bad, but he only looks so good because he is on the bigger stage of the Cavaliers."

"Look at the stats of the guy he was playing against. He looked like he was defending the ball, but he wasn't actually defending anyone."

"Anthony Parker's lack of playing time has affected his competitive state. He deserves more votes than Hansen."

……

Finally, the Cavaliers fell apart.

The ultimate goal of this team is to win the championship, but now that goal has disappeared.

Moreover, Hansen openly broke up with James at the press conference, which meant that only one of them could stay in Cleveland.

Originally, this was a question that didn't require any choice. Hansen played well in one series, but that was just one series, and James' position in Cleveland was unshakable.

But the problem now is whether James will stay or go in the summer.

Including O'Neal's contract has expired. Regardless of whether James stays or not, he will most likely choose a new team to compete for the championship.

The outside world was noisy, but Han Sen didn't care.

Just like in the three-point contest, no matter what the final result is, he will not suffer any loss.

He did not continue to play 2K. After recovering from his injury, he has started training again.

Of course, the intensity of training will be lower than before, as he doesn't want to hurt himself again during the offseason.

Then, there is the black fan system.

Thanks to the contribution of James fans, his black fan value has increased very quickly in the past two days, and has now accumulated to as much as 60.

This is enough for him to exchange for two or three second-level talents.

But he was not in a hurry.

Because now he is facing the most serious problem, injury.

Genes are determined when humans are born.

No one can ignore racial talents.

Han Sen didn't know why the black fan system existed, but he roughly knew the purpose of its existence, which was to break this talent barrier.

But now, his body couldn't support him to go any further.

This means that if he wants to approach or become an All-Star level player, he must find a way to exchange for [Iron Bones].

And that requires 200 million black fans.

This may also be the reason why the system classifies him as a first-class talent. Giving the yellow race a durable body is equivalent to giving humans an exoskeleton armor, which is direct evolution.

Simply offending these fans or having a doomed relationship with Swift may not be enough to satisfy these black fans.

To achieve this, he needs to do something that will make the entire Internet, or at least most basketball fans, blacken him.

But such a thing cannot be thought of in a short time.

So this is what he would do every day when he got up.

I examine myself three times a day: Have I figured it out today? Have I thought hard today? Can I think harder tomorrow?

But this kind of thing still depends more on a flash of inspiration, and he doesn’t have any good ideas for the time being.

If you can't think of it, clear your mind.

Han Sen watched this year's finals.

The second game between the Magic and the Lakers.

He called Rondo to Cleveland.

You must have a companion when watching football.

Peanuts, melon seeds, squid rings, beer, drinks, and dried fruits.

The two grown men lay down on the soft sofa. This was the most relaxing day Han Sen had enjoyed in recent times.

Rondo was not so excited this time because he had bet heavily on the Cavaliers before, but the Cavaliers were eliminated in the Eastern Conference Finals.

Regarding Rondo's behavior, Hansen said: Next time before you place a bet, ask me. Have you forgotten how you won money before?

The Magic have more regular season wins than the Lakers, and the first game of the finals will be held in Orlando.

Neither of them bet this time, and they both favor the Lakers.

Rondo's reasons are too simple. Last year, the Lakers swept the Magic 4-1. This year, the Magic have become weaker and may be swept directly.

Hansen's views are more conservative.

The Lakers' condition this season is definitely not as good as last year, even though Gasol's condition has improved in the playoffs.

Moreover, Kobe's finger injury relapsed before entering the finals, so his condition will not be very good.

The Magic have bigger problems. Without Turkoglu, they rely more on Howard's performance, but the Lakers have a Bynum who will not make Howard feel comfortable either.

So it’s not about who is stronger, but about who has more weaknesses.

But when the game really started, Hansen found that the two teams played extremely tensely.

Those problems were indeed visible on the court, but the Magic's outside firepower was too strong.

Carter was like a chicken with its blood pumped up after entering the finals, scoring from the outside one after another.

This may be considered a little-known fact, but this is the first time Carter has made it to the finals in his career.

The Magic were trailing by 3 points in the final moments, but Carter made a three-pointer with the help of Howard's pick-and-roll, dragging the game into overtime.

"How come this is completely different from what I imagined?" Rondo looked a little confused.

"Didn't you watch the finals last year?" Han Sen felt that the Lakers were much stronger than the Magic that year, and he didn't watch the finals that year.

Rondo shook his head, he was busy picking up girls at that time.

Han Sen silently took out his cell phone and began searching for news related to last year's finals.

You don’t know until you watch it. After watching it, he realized that sometimes people really can’t just read the news.

The Lakers vs. Magic match was totally different from what he had imagined. Of the five games, only the first one was a sure win, with the Lakers beating the Magic 5-100.

This is not difficult to understand. None of the players on the Magic team have ever played in the finals. It is impossible for them to be time travelers like me. They will definitely be stunned when they go up at the beginning.

But from the second game on, everything was different.

In the second game, the Lakers defeated the Magic 101-96 in overtime. Courtney Lee had a chance to win the game in the regular season, but Gasol's hand stretched out from under the basket interfered with his alley-oop. The referee did not call a interference call, which caused a lot of controversy at the time.

It's no wonder why the Magic wanted to replace Carter. If Carter could get that kind of ball and just dunk it, there would be no chance for controversy.

The Magic then returned home and broke the record for field goal attempts in the Finals, defeating the Lakers 108-104.

It can be said that if the ball was called for interference, the Magic would not be leading 1-2, but 2-1.

Then in Game 4, the two sides went into overtime again. The Lakers were 3 points behind at the last moment, but Fisher made a three-pointer with a big heart to drag the game into overtime. The Lakers eventually won and led 3-1.

In the last game, the Magic players had no desire to fight anymore and were swept by the Gentlemen 86-99.

There has never been a 1-3 comeback in the finals in NBA history, and the penalty in Game 2 also let them know that the league would not stand on their side.

So at that time they knew the ending was decided, and they probably wanted it to be over quickly so they could go home early.

So this was not an easy defeat at all, it was a thrilling win!

If Lee's shot was called for interference, or if Fisher missed the three-pointer, the Lakers might have lost in the end.

But when was that? The season when Kobe returned to glory!

After the 23VS24 drama that Stern worked so hard to create failed to take place, what the league needed was Kobe's positive image.

If you promote the Lakers and Magic as having a back-and-forth battle, it will be very detrimental to your image.

Then you see, people like Hansen and Rondo, who had never watched the finals, just acquiesced in their propaganda.

Han Sen already knew that the media was a good thing, but he still ignored its role.

He suddenly remembered something, and without watching the finals, he picked up his phone and went to the corner to make a call.

You know, the score between the Cavaliers and the Celtics in the semifinals was also 4 to 1!
Those who have watched the game know how intense it was, but for those who haven't watched the game, if the media promotes it as like the Lakers playing against the Magic, then wouldn't his achievements become worthless?
He called Khalil directly.

There has been no movement since Kalil moved to TNT. It's time for him to start exerting his strength.

After talking with Khalil, Hansen felt that it was not enough, so he called the director of UA.

It's time for his shoe factory to make some efforts.

By the time Han Sen got back from the call, the game was over.

Kobe scored 8 points in overtime to help the Lakers win in overtime.

So in the end, it still depends on the quality of the superstar.

Although Carter played well, his ability in attacking the ball is still far behind Kobe.

After watching the game, Hansen also talked to Rondo about investment.

This time, the reason for inviting Rondo was not to watch the game, but mainly for investment.

The general idea is that he makes the decisions, and Rondo is responsible for the execution, so when legal problems arise, Rondo can solve them directly.

Of course, this is not all of Rondo’s work, he also has to use his photography talent to shoot a documentary for Hansen.

This is not a very advanced operation. Even James's performance was filmed in high school.

Otherwise, where do you think the early video footage of those stars came from?

These operations can also be simply understood as: Hansen also began to build his own personal team, and Rondo was the first person to join this team.

Rondo didn't expect Hansen to trust him so much, and he excitedly expressed his intention to transfer to Cleveland on the spot.

Rondo has no chance of playing in the NBA, and he will graduate in a year, so it is necessary for him to transfer schools for the convenience of doing so.

But Han Sen signaled him not to worry, as everything had to wait until he was done with it.

The next day, Khalil took the lead in launching the attack on TNT.

"If Han was there, the Cavaliers would have won Game 1 of the Finals"

Who is the guy who can really help the Cavaliers win?

"Han tries his best to win, LeBron does everything for data"

"Does Cleveland need a future that can help the team win, or a king who can never win a championship?"

"Jordan brought Nike to the altar, Nike pushed James to the throne, this is the difference between them"

……

This wave of "supernatural power" operation blinded Hansen. It even reminded him of Skip Bayless, the recognized "No. 5 LeBron hater" who has posted nearly 87 tweets, % of which mentioned James or his nickname.

For a moment, he regretted treating this guy as a partner instead of cultivating him into the leader of his black fans.

These remarks made by Carril naturally drew a counterattack from James' team.

But every time, Khalil was able to handle it calmly and even present a evenly matched situation.

Sometimes, for every one sentence Carril says, James' team will use ten or even more words to explain it.

It's not that Khalil is so great, but that what he said is artistic words based on facts, or embellished truths.

The truth is a sharp knife.

While Khalil was fighting against James fans with two swords in hand, UA also spoke up for Hansen on its official website.

The way they spoke was quite unique because it was the same thing that Han Sen had done in the beginning: presenting the facts.

“No. 16 pick, No. 77 rookie, in the series against the Celtics, he averaged 22.8 points, 3.4 rebounds, 2.6 assists, 46.2% shooting, 37.5% three-point shooting.

Game 1, 33 points, the highest score for a rookie in his playoff debut since Derrick Rose;

G4, 21 points, three-point buzzer beater, staged the world famous painting of "Father and Son Reunited";
G5, 35 points, defeated the opponent single-handedly in the absence of James, and scored a difficult goal to kill the game, shouting 'This is my territory'.

The future of Cleveland is in this team."

UA's move was not only due to Hansen's request, but also because they needed such an opportunity to create an image of not fearing power through confrontation with Nike, thereby enhancing their brand influence.

Hansen is fighting against James, and UA is not afraid of Nike. This wave can be regarded as a two-way effort.

Carril's violent output, UA's assistance, and all these off-court factors are constantly increasing Hansen's presence and pushing Hansen and James to the opposite side.

They are already incompatible.

Time flies and it is already mid-June.

After 6 big battles, the Lakers finally defeated the Magic with a big score of 4 to 2 and won two consecutive championships.

Just as Hansen saw in Game 1, the Magic played to their strengths, but the quality of their stars still led to their defeat.

Kobe won the FMVP for the second time in a row and won his fifth NBA championship ring.

At the championship awards ceremony, Kobe smiled happier than ever before.

5＞4, he finally became the 5.

However, during this period of time, James seemed to have suddenly disappeared from the world.

Not only could the Cavaliers players not find him, even the Cavaliers staff couldn't contact him.

Han Sen smelled something different.

Why does this smell so familiar?
Just then, Thomas called Hansen.

Ferry wanted to talk to him.
