Basketball's No. 1 Anti-Fan

Chapter 2 Durant's Predecessors
Han Sen came out of the system and the press conference was over.

He also left the venue with Tois.

"It's a good strategy." After leaving the venue, Tois gave his own evaluation.

Han Sen looked puzzled.

“This can indeed attract some attention from the outside world.”

After hearing this, Hansen realized that Tois had misunderstood him.

But this is not Toyes' fault. Things are different now than they were in the last century. The first-level league has expanded to more than 300 schools, almost monopolizing the top basketball talents in the United States.

As a result, scouts no longer focus on second- and third-tier leagues as they did in the last century.

Therefore, some players will attract their attention by talking big, just like Hansen did before.

"But you will also have to bear greater pressure because you have humiliated Davidson's boss," Toews reminded.

"Thank you, coach, but I've been working hard all summer for this moment."

Han Sen did not explain too much, but just tried to leave a good impression on the team's new head coach.

Tois smiled and patted Hansen on the shoulder, obviously very satisfied with what he said.

……

Barry University's basketball level belongs to the second-tier league, but the school size is not. They are the second largest university in the Miami area and have excellent conditions.

The dormitory where Han Sen lived was a double room.

His roommate and teammate on the school team was Chris Rondo, a short black guard who was 1 meters tall.

This height is very common in the secondary league, and even Hansen is the tallest one in Barry University.

To put it bluntly, there was no Pippen or Rodman in the second-tier league of this era. Basically, they were all players left after screening in the first-tier league.

In fact, when Han Sen first traveled through time, he also complained about Han Sen’s choice.

If it were him, he would stay at Gonzaga University and not transfer to a Division II school.

Gonzaga University has its own exposure, and as long as you can play, your chances of entering the NBA are very high.

As for the media and fans, you can yell as much as you want. If I take it seriously, I will lose.

But that's the difference in personality.

"Han Sen" is introverted and cannot handle the external pressure. He is also worried that if he joins a weak team in the first-tier league, he will have no chances and will collapse and give up basketball.

At that time, Barry University also offered him one of the few scholarships in the second-tier league.

When they returned to the dormitory, Rondo had not come back yet. Han Sen locked the door, took out the latest iPhone 3 phone bought with the scholarship, and started logging into his first Facebook account.

The reason why he didn't have the idea that Tois said was because he knew it was useless.

NBA scouts don't pay attention to second- and third-tier leagues anymore. Even if you say you are the GOAT of basketball and you are ranked first on everyone's list, people won't even look at you.

And let alone NBA scouts, even the reporters today probably wouldn't report what he said.

The news page is so small, they know very well who will be the protagonist tomorrow, there is no reason to leave a piece for a second-tier league player who is "cheating".

Therefore, at this stage, you still have to rely on yourself to avoid being criticized.

After he logged into his account, he entered Curry's personal interface.

Curry is very popular in the NCAA league now.

This is not because he has a star father like Bronny, but because of what he did last season.

Davidson College was a serious underdog in the Division I league before Curry went there, a group of grassroots players.

Then Curry spent two years leading them to the Big Three, and then he led the team to a comeback and reach the Elite Eight with performances of 40 points, 30 points, and 33 points in a single game!

Moreover, they finally lost to the eventual champion University of Kansas by 8 points in the quarter-finals.

Such performance, in the words of fans, is pure Hollywood material.

If Curry wasn't short enough and needed to switch to the point guard position, he would have been included in the draft after last season and would have been a solid first-round pick.

But even though Curry is not an NBA player yet, he has a lot of followers on Facebook.

His latest status is about the new season:

"There is one day left until the new season, let's make a comeback, come on!" This status was posted only a few hours ago, but the number of comments and reposts is considerable.

After Han Sen clicked in, he immediately turned on the comment mode.

"Have you heard? CSUN's Hansen threatened to beat Curry and said he is the top shooter in the NCAA!"

After posting the comment, he logged out of his account and then scrolled down to log in to his remaining accounts one by one.

He used these accounts for only one purpose, which was to like his previous comments.

This method of artificially creating hot comments is a basic operation of social media operations, and it is also something he often did in his previous life.

It’s a pity that there is no relevant tool software in this era, and it can only be done manually.

By the time he logged into all his accounts, the number of likes had reached 58.

After that, the number of likes started to increase automatically.

A typical feature of social media is that people’s thoughts follow the popular comments and their brains basically stop thinking.

As the number of likes continued to rise, follow-up comments also began to appear.

"Han Sen? Who is that? I've never heard of him!"

"What school is CSUN? Why have I never heard of this university?"

Seeing this, Han Sen randomly logged into a secondary account of his own and started following the comments.

"CSUN is Davis' opponent in the opening game. They are from the Division II league, and Hansen is a four-star high school student on that team."

After finishing his review, he randomly logged into another account.

"WTF? Secondary Alliance? Who gave him the courage to say something like that? Fish Leong?!"

What's the point of my left and right hands fighting each other? I'm fighting myself.

It’s a pity that Durant was not around. If he was, he would definitely shout “senior”!
Not long after Han Sen finished commenting, it started showing that other people were commenting, and there were more than one.

"So he's just a rookie from the second-tier league. What else can he do besides talking big?"

"I just checked. This guy couldn't even play at Gonzaga before. He was eliminated and sent to the second-tier league. How come he's getting worse and worse?"

"Don't expose him. He just wants to force himself on you."

"Oh, he's a player from the University of Eastern University. Can players from the University of Eastern University play basketball?"

Looking at these comments, Han Sen frowned subconsciously.

Apart from music, haters have no national boundaries.

He switched to another account: "He's a four-star high school student! Higher than Curry's three stars!"

"Four stars? Are four stars strong? Look at how many five-star high school students in the NCAA can't play basketball. Four stars are nothing!"

"Don't live in the past forever. Four stars can only reflect your performance in high school, but the NBA selects college players!"

"Yes, yes, you are a four-star. I want to see how you beat Stephen, clown!"

Han Sen felt something rising to his forehead.

He then turned off the screen and took a deep breath.

He had registered these accounts before, but this was his first time using them.

Although he also registered a small account to control comments in his previous life, this kind of operation of using a small account to discredit himself is still a bit infuriating.

He logged into the system decisively and checked his [anti-fan value].

As he looked at the ever-increasing numbers, his mood finally calmed down a little.

Then, he continued to control the comments while switching accounts and looking at his [anti-fan value], perfectly illustrating what "pain and happiness" means.

Just as his fingers were tapping rapidly on the keyboard, the door opened.

Rondo is back.

Han Sen stopped what he was doing and said quickly:

"Chris, close the door."
