Basketball's No. 1 Anti-Fan

Chapter 100 Farewell
In this deal, the Cavaliers got a rising star, a talented second pick who didn't get many opportunities as a rookie, and a 3D guard with enough size who looks like he can replace Hansen.

It can be said that the Grizzlies invested heavily in Hansen and directly accepted the open mouth of the Cavaliers.

Therefore, when the deal was reached, it was met with widespread ridicule.

"Last year, the Grizzlies chose Thabeet over Evans, Curry, and Harden. Now, they are offering so many chips for Hansen. Why didn't you just use the second pick to select him last year?"

"I say to the Grizzlies management, did you only watch the playoffs when Hansen played against the Celtics? He did play well, but he only played well in three games!"

"The Cavaliers made a lot of money. Now LeBron has no reason to leave. This is definitely their most successful deal in the past decade!"

"I love Danny Ferry so much, he is an absolutely underestimated general manager. Believe in LeBron, he will definitely bring a championship to Cleveland!"

"Williams, Mayo, LeBron, Jamison, Thabeet, it's so terrifying, the era of LeBron is finally coming!"

“Are the Grizzlies just a smaller version of the Cavaliers?”

"The way the Grizzlies play, ugh, I don't think Hansen will be out for half a season. This deal is destined to go down in history!"

……

Before the draft began, Han Sen had already received a call from Ferry and knew the result in advance.

Originally, the Cavaliers had already negotiated the chips with the Pacers and were ready to use him to trade this year's No. 10 pick Paul George, but there was no way out. The Grizzlies' follow-up offer was too much.

So Memphis became Hansen's next stop.

For this result, Han Sen can only say that it was a two-way race.

As for the Grizzlies, they have been coveting him for a long time.

To be honest, he was also shocked when he first heard about this chip.

He thought the Grizzlies would at most take Mayo and this year's first-round pick, but he didn't expect that Thabeet was willing to give it up.

Although if we look at it from a third-rate perspective, Thabeet would be the worst second pick in NBA history, he has only played for a year and has not had much playing time.

All I can say is that the Grizzlies truly love him.

As for the Grizzlies not selecting him directly with the second pick, that's bullshit.

No sane person would consider a player predicted to be at the end of the first round with the second pick, let alone selecting him.

And as for the Grizzlies team, putting aside the question of whether they can win the championship, they really... step too much on Mark and James.

The black and white duo in the interior, plus him as the big man on the outside, as long as they can break out of the West, the picture will be too beautiful to even imagine.

No, he couldn't help but look forward to the regular season matchup with James.

So Han Sen is now watching his anti-fan value skyrocket while looking forward to the new season, doubly happy.

Of course, he also had to pack his bags and prepare to leave Cleveland.

After living here for nearly a year, there are always things to pack and people to say goodbye to.

And this time he's going to Memphis in a special way.

He went to the team locker room first, as he still had to deal with the things in the closet.

This time it was David Griffin who took him there again.

"Actually, I'm reluctant to see you go." Griffin looked regretful on the way to the locker room.

"I will come back." Han Sen's eyes showed a hint of longing.

Although he is no longer a member of the Cavaliers when he comes back, he believes that when he steps onto the court again, his desire to play will be full.

Looking at Hansen's expression, Griffin smiled helplessly.

In fact, he really liked Han Sen. After all, interesting souls are rare to find.

"Keep this as a souvenir." Griffin took off Hansen's nameplate from the wardrobe.

At first, he thought Han Sen was James's man, and subconsciously assigned him to James' side.

I didn't expect that Han Sen would always go against James afterwards. This nameplate can be regarded as a testimony.

After packing the luggage, Griffin helped move things and sent Hansen to the entrance of the stadium.

Han Sen did not drive the car into the underground garage this time.

"Thank you." Han Sen thanked Griffin before leaving.

Because of the wardrobe incident, he was prejudiced against Griffin.

But judging from the few interactions we have had, the Griffins are actually pretty good.

Before getting in the car, Han Sen couldn't help but look back.

At this time, at the front of the stadium, there is a poster of the Cavaliers' five-man team.

Williams, Hansen, James, Jamison, O'Neal.

The Cavaliers' posters are always not replaced in a timely manner.

He pulled out his phone and took a picture.

For better or worse, this has been the journey of his rookie career.

After leaving the stadium, Han Sen drove to Malone's home again.

He also specially prepared some gifts.

Malone protected him a lot during this season with the Cavaliers.

It can be said that if it weren't for Malone, his situation would be much worse.

What Han Sen didn't expect was that after a few brief exchanges, Ma Long said he was leaving too.

So in order to have a slight chance of retaining James, even Malone, who always upholds fairness, has to be driven away?
Han Sen was about to speak.

"Don't think too much. It's not because of you. I just want to change to a better platform." Ma Long is still good at observing people's words and expressions.

"Where?"

"New Orleans, they invited me to be the head assistant coach." "Congratulations."

Malone was only the second assistant coach when he was with the Cavaliers, then he became the chief assistant coach, and before that, he became the head coach in the NBA.

"The Hornets and the Grizzlies both belong to the Southwest Division, and we will play against each other four times a season," Malone said with a smile.

In other words, even if they are not on the same team next season, they will meet each other more often.

Hansen stood up and hugged Malone. Away from the gloom of Cleveland, they both had a bright future.

After leaving Malone's house, Hansen originally wanted to go to Jamison's house, but Jamison had already returned to his home in Shreveport, so they could only contact each other by phone.

When all was done, he began his last task: driving from Cleveland to Memphis.

Although the Grizzlies belong to the Western Conference, Memphis is actually a central city, less than 1200 kilometers away by car.

If you drive all the way, it will only take a day to get there.

Of course, Han Sen was not in a hurry to travel, he was more interested in enjoying the scenery along the way.

Just think of it as a way to say goodbye to the past and welcome the future.

Two days later, Han Sen had a good rest and got up early in the morning to prepare for departure.

However, what he didn't expect was that as soon as he got up, he saw a group of people gathered outside the villa.

He didn't know what was going on, so he asked his security guard to go out and ask, and then he found out that it was the fans who came to see him off.

Yesterday, the Cavaliers' official website officially sent him a farewell letter, and someone came today.

This really surprised him.

But after he went downstairs, he looked at the reluctant expressions on the fans' faces, and even when someone hugged him and cried, he felt a lot of emotion.

During his year here, he gained a considerable number of haters, but he also won over quite a few local Cleveland fans.

He granted all the fans' requests for photos or autographs.

He even went back to the house, found some shoes and jerseys he had worn, signed them and gave them to them.

After seeing off the fans, he drove his Rolls-Royce Phantom and bid farewell to his villa.

Before officially setting off, he made a detour to pick up Cunningham.

This guy insisted on being his bodyguard on the road. There was no way to stop him.

Finally he had no choice but to agree.

When he drove over, Cunningham was squatting on the side of the road. Because those fans delayed him for quite a while, this guy must have been waiting for a while.

Instead of honking the horn, he rolled down the window and called out to the other person.

Cunningham looked up and saw that it was Hansen, and immediately ran over with a smile on his face.

"Why did you bring such a big bag?" Han Sen looked puzzled when Cunningham came closer.

"This is a tent. I just bought it. I know a place where we can camp," Cunningham said as he stuffed his stuff into the back seat.

Han Sen couldn't help but smile and shook his head. This guy really thought a lot.

With Cunningham accompanying him on the road, Han Sen wouldn't feel bored.

And when he feels tired, Cunningham can take over and drive for a while.

The two of them drove slowly, taking pictures of the scenery along the way and enjoying the process.

Of course, Han Sen did not post these photos online. He has so many haters now and does not want to cause any more trouble.

They soon arrived at the place where Cunningham said they could camp. It was on a mountain, but it was a managed campsite and very safe.

The weather was fine today. At night, they lay outside the tent, enjoying the cool June breeze and the starry sky above their heads.

This slow-paced experience was indeed different for Han Sen after his time travel.

Moreover, Cunningham also prepared some food and drinks, and even brought mosquito repellent.

This guy really knows how to enjoy life.

"I regret it. Is it too late to take you to Memphis now?" Han Sen said with a smile.

"Really, boss?" Unexpectedly, these words made Cunningham so excited that he sat up immediately.

"Just kidding. Didn't I tell you before that it would be better if you stayed?" Han Sen almost collapsed when he heard the word "boss".

His original intention was to take Cunningham with him when he left.

If he had the choice of going to a weaker team, he would have done the same, and Ferry would most likely agree.

But now he is going to the Grizzlies, where there is too much competition inside and there is no possibility for Cunningham to start.

So instead of going with him, it’s better to stay with the Cavaliers and develop.

O'Neal is leaving the team, and there is a high probability that Ilgauskas will follow James in leaving. Cunningham will definitely get more playing time.

Even if James really didn't leave, Cunningham would still be a good fit.

Cunningham sat back down somewhat frustrated.

"Don't worry, Boss. I will carve out a niche for myself in the league, just like this starry sky. There will always be a corner that belongs to me."

Han Sen shook his head.

This guy is quite artistic.

but……

He also raised his head again, looking expectant.

This starry sky will also have a vast world belonging to him.
