Basketball's No. 1 Anti-Fan

Chapter 60 Not Smart Basketball

The Celtics called a timeout.

After the break, both sides made large-scale personnel rotations.

Han Sen was also substituted at this time.

Han Sen was not surprised at all that he was substituted out after scoring 7 points in a row.

There is a high probability that he will be tied to James tonight.

In fact, if he hadn’t just had a burst of power, the data columns would be empty now.

But precisely because of his outburst, Brown didn't dare to keep him on the court.

After the first quarter, the score was 21 to 23, and the two sides were evenly matched.

Then in the second quarter, James came on the court at the start.

This is really... expected.

In the first quarter, James was poorly defended by the Celtics and had to make up for it during the substitute period.

Otherwise, even if we win the game, the media won’t be able to find an angle to blow the whistle.

James went up and attacked Marquis Daniels for a dunk.

During this period, the Celtics' inside line was Rasheed Wallace and "Big Baby" Glen Davis. One was old and the other was fat, and their defensive capabilities declined significantly.

In this case, unless there is a defensive gate on the outside who can limit James' breakthrough, it is impossible to stop him from scoring.

Fortunately, the Celtics do have such a person.

In the next round of the Cavaliers' offense, the defender in front of James changed from Daniels to Tony Allen.

The reason why Allen didn't defend James at the beginning was because he was only a 1-meter-tall guard, and defending James was like a small guard defending a bigger one.

But if it's just about limiting James' acceleration, no one on the Celtics can do it better than Allen.

Seeing James unable to get off the court due to being entangled by Allen, Hansen was eager to try.

Winning is of course what every player wants to do, but he now wants to do something more, which is to improve his breakthrough level.

Neither Delonte West nor Pierce can help him, but Allen can.

James' dribbling breakthrough was directly intercepted by Allen, the Celtics launched a defensive counterattack, Daniels received the ball and scored a fast break dunk, and the North Shore Garden Arena was instantly ignited.

Han Sen even heard someone cursing James not far behind him.

He stood up and walked towards Brown who was standing on the sidelines.

"Coach, let me play." Han Sen volunteered.

Brown turned around and saw that it was Hansen, and couldn't help but frown.

But he did not order Hansen to go back, because James was once again forced into a dead ball situation and had no good passing opportunities.

The reason why Tony Allen is so good at blocking James' breakthrough is not only because of his quick hands and feet, but more importantly, he almost never responds to pick-and-rolls.

And James is a player whose offense relies heavily on pick-and-roll.

Brown finally reached out and called a timeout.

The short timeout is only 20 seconds, but it can stop the offense and prevent James from making mistakes, and there is also a spot for rotation.

Hansen came on to replace James.

James didn't react much to being substituted off the court, he just glanced at Hansen as he passed by.

During the short break, both sides had one substitution quota, but Rivers did not rotate players.

Even James is restricted, how can Han Sen still make a comeback?

At this time, the Cavaliers have the following lineups:

Celtics: Eddie House, Tony Allen, Daniels, Rasheed Wallace, Glen Davis;

Cavaliers: Daniel Gibson, Parker, Hansen, Varejao, Ilgauskas.

When the Cavaliers started their attack, Gibson took the ball and rushed into the inside.

When James is on the court, the ball must be in his hands, but when he is not on the court, others, especially James's brothers, are not obligated to give the ball to Hansen.

At this time, James was biting his fingernails as usual on the bench, with a calm expression, as if everything was under control.

Brown was still sensible. West, O'Neal, Cunningham and other players who had a good relationship with Hansen were all sitting on the sidelines. None of the players on the court were close to Hansen.

Can Han Sen perform well without him being present?

Then Han Sen must have the ball in his hand first.

Gibson's layup was blocked by Wallace, but the "Roaring God" is still in good shape.

Ilgauskas quickly grabbed the offensive rebound, and after seeing that there was no chance of a strong attack, he passed the ball to Hansen who was running into an open space on the outside.

James paused in biting his fingernails.

Although Ilgauskas is not close to Hansen, he has no selfish motives and will only do things that are good for the team.

But soon James continued to bite his nails, and his speed increased.

Han Sen did not get a chance to shoot after receiving the ball, as Tony Allen had already rushed over to defend. Han Sen did not expect Allen to be so fast.

Gibson returned to the outside at this time and reached out to Hansen for the ball.

Han Sen simply ignored him and just kept moving the ball inside without passing it. He still expected him to pass the ball?

Not to mention that he came on the court with his sights set on Allen.

He dribbled the ball and broke through to the right.

A top defender like Allen will definitely observe off the court, so his phantom step may not be effective. Instead, this violent first step has a better chance.

Han Sen's judgment was correct. Allen did not expect Han Sen to make this choice, but Han Sen was unable to rush to the basket in one go because Allen slid back to the defensive position.

This guy's lateral movement speed is too abnormal!
This is faster than before he gained weight.

And Allen didn't give Hansen a chance to breathe, he just cut the ball and put pressure on him.

Han Sen was forced to turn around to protect the ball, and his breakthrough momentum came to an abrupt halt.

He was finally forced to turn around and fade away after facing the basket, but Allen cut the ball out of bounds.

[I don’t really understand the offensive stuff, but you don’t have to think about it. ]

He is worthy of being the man who has made top scorers such as Kobe and Durant suffer setbacks.

James finally bit his nails, put down his hands, and leaned lazily on the bench.

Everyone can see that Allen is not easy to play against. Han Sen finally touched the ball but still tried to force it. It was really not smart at all.

"You should have given me the ball!" Gibson came over and yelled at Hansen after the ball went out of bounds.

"I'll give it to you if you score. Why don't you just give the ball to me first!" Han Sen refused to give in.

"Okay, okay! I'll give it to you!" Gibson turned his head and glanced at Allen, already full of bad intentions.

The Cavaliers' offensive wave had little time left and ultimately failed.

But in turn, Hansen also disrupted Wallace's low-post singles through assisting defense.

As strong as Allen's defense is, his offense is just as weak. When he's on the court, the Celtics' offense is basically four against five, and Hansen can double-team the ball handler without restraint.

Ilgauskas grabbed the defensive rebound and Gibson advanced to the frontcourt with the ball.

He actually did what he said. When he got to the front court, he directly gave the ball to Han Sen, and then signaled to move away and give Han Sen a singles game.

This is because they see that Han Sen can't beat Allen, so they want him to beat him hard.

Boston fans began to boo and whistle.

Han Sen’s remarks yesterday already made them quite unhappy, not to mention that white person was the first to make discriminatory gestures. In their eyes, they were the only ones discriminating against others, so how could others discriminate against them?

What's more, Han Sen humiliated Pierce today. Although Pierce is also black, he is the core of the team and an elite black man. How can he be compared with Han Sen, a yellow man at the bottom of the contempt chain?

So, come on, Tony Allen, teach this arrogant yellow man a more unforgettable lesson!
Han Sen launched an attack, this time using the Phantom Step.

The phantom step, or the European step, has a great advantage, which is that the ball is in the hand when breaking through, which can protect the ball well during the breakthrough.

That said, this is a good counter to Allen's cuts.

Moreover, Han Sen went against his usual practice and took the initiative to physically confront Allen when using the Phantom Step.

Allen is good in every aspect, but he is small in size, so his confrontation ability is naturally weaker.

After Allen was confronted, his center of gravity swung back. Hansen seized the opportunity, turned back to square, and pressed Allen's body to make a side layup.

Rasheed Wallace flew over to help defend at this time. Like Garnett, he is a tall and long-armed forward, and his help defense ability was not bad at his peak.

After seeing this, Han Sen flicked his wrist and made a layup to send the ball out in advance.

His improved body coordination allows him to perform such movements successfully.

Wallace saw it and knew it was too late, but due to his old age and the deterioration of his body functions, he could not stop the car and crashed directly into Hansen.

Han Sen was knocked out of the baseline and the referee's whistle sounded.

As Han Sen flew out, his eyes were still on the basketball.

The photographer under the basketball hoop also pressed the shutter before he instinctively stood up and dodged.

"boom!"

The basketball hit the backboard, made a small turn, and fell into the net.

Han Sen also collided with the photographer who didn't have time to dodge.

There was an uproar at the scene.

Hansen passed Allen and faced Wallace's assist defense and scored 2+1!

Han Sen rolled over among the photographers before standing up.

When he stood up, he ignored the pain in his body, raised his arms towards the Boston fans nearby, and yelled at them loudly.

Do you think I can't beat Allen?
Do you all want to see me make a fool of myself?
Does it feel particularly unpleasant to be slapped in the face?

Come on, show all your dissatisfaction and inner unhappiness, and blacken me as much as you can!!
