Basketball's No. 1 Anti-Fan

Chapter 65 Intolerable
"You don't think I can't defend you just because you hit me?" Kobe looked straight at Han Sen and took a defensive stance.

"of course not."

Han Sen responded nonchalantly and then broke through with the ball.

This time Kobe did not block the position in advance, so Hansen used the phantom step.

But Kobe is experienced in defense and retreated to the basket early to block his layup route.

Hansen's close-range attacking methods were insufficient, and his final shot after a strong confrontation with Kobe went wide.

But he knew he couldn't make the shot, so he took a second jump, grabbed the offensive rebound and shot again, causing Kobe to commit a defensive foul.

"I'm just enjoying the process," Hansen said to Kobe before going to the free throw line.

Of course Kobe didn't know what Han Sen wanted to do. He was just thinking back to everything Han Sen did tonight: taking the initiative to take the blame, not being nervous at all when facing him, and making provocative celebration gestures towards him on the bench, and then saying this just now. Aren't these also what he would do when he first entered the league?
He subconsciously raised the corners of his mouth.

Just then, a short whistle sounded from the sidelines.

Han Sen turned around at the free throw line and saw that the person who was substituted in was actually James.

His face was full of confusion.

Why is James playing at this time?
You have to know that there are only twenty seconds left in the game.

Let James come on to defend the last round?
Or was it that the Cavaliers were chasing points during this period and needed to create proof that James was present?

Han Sen didn't understand, but he turned around and didn't bother to think about it.

Hansen made both free throws, helping the Cavaliers successfully narrow the point difference to single digits.

Kobe did not continue to attack Hansen at this time. Instead, he used Bynum and Odom's consecutive pick-and-rolls to break into the inside, causing Ilgauskas to commit a defensive foul and getting two free throw opportunities.

Just like what Hansen felt in the first half, Kobe was so mature during this period that he deserved to be the strongest in the league.

Kobe took a breath after reaching the free throw line.

He scored a lot of points tonight, but it was also obvious that he was physically exhausted.

After all, 31 is not 21, and Hansen was wearing him down on both offense and defense.

However, after adjusting himself, Kobe made both free throws, helping the Lakers to widen the gap to double digits again.

At this time, there are only 2 seconds left for the attack.

James serves from the backcourt.

Han Sen was standing at the center line at this time. Although he was used to catching the ball, he was not interested in this kind of ball that was purely caught in the backcourt.

The Lakers pressed the frontcourt and West didn't have a good chance to catch the ball.

James now looked at Hansen and waved at him frantically.

Brown's shout also came from behind.

Han Sen ran towards James and gestured for him to come in.

The ball was passed, Hansen turned his back to the basket to protect the ball to prevent Kobe from shooting. Seeing this, James had no choice but to enter the court.

After seeing James enter the court, Hansen decisively passed the ball.

There was only about 1 second left at this time, and James made a long three-pointer from the backcourt.

The ball traced a very long parabola in the air and then went in...

There was a burst of cheers at the scene. Han Sen was also stunned. How could he get in?

I have to say that James has great strength, and of course he has good luck too.

But James was wearing a Schroeder mask at this time.

Because he knew very well that the ball had just exceeded the time limit.

It's more painful to enter than not to enter.

Sure enough, after the live replay, James' shot had exceeded the time limit.

At the beginning of the last quarter, James did not continue to play...

On the Lakers side, Phil Jackson also did not arrange for Kobe to play again.

This is not because he continued to underestimate the enemy, but because he truly felt the threat and did not want Kobe to continue wasting his energy in the transition period as a substitute.

But at the same time, he sent Gasol and Artest to the court early, which was also to curb the Cavaliers' momentum of chasing points.

However, as the game progressed, he was not able to do so. Han Sen was in really good shape tonight.

Even Artest couldn't limit his performance.

Artest is strong in confrontation and is the best candidate to defend a heavy forward like James, but Hansen is a guard and he needs to play to his defensive advantage if he can keep up.

Five minutes into the quarter, Hansen broke through Artest's layup hand, helping the Cavaliers narrow the gap to 5 points, one ball away.

Phil Jackson finally put his hands away and instead of continuing to blow his favorite whistle, called a timeout.

Han Sen was extremely excited when he came off the field.

It was not only because he led the team to narrow the gap from 18 points to 3 points, but also because before leaving the court, his [Lingbo Weibu] had reached a bottleneck!

Kobe plus Artest, it's like killing monsters and getting double the experience.

Give him a little more time and he can lead the Cavaliers to win the game in one go!
However, after the timeout, Brown substituted Hansen, which gave people the feeling that the U17 player of the Chinese Basketball Association, Li Yuezhou, was immediately substituted after scoring a crucial goal.

Those who didn’t know might have thought that Han Sen was injured.

When James came on the court again, he pounded his chest hard in front of the camera, revealing a domineering aura, as if he was going to lead the team to win the game.

Han Sen felt a fire rising in his chest.

It was already frustrating enough that he couldn't play in the decisive moment this past week. Now he led the team to a chance and was about to show his strength, and in the end you told him that he still can't play? !

The game continued on the court, and the Lakers replaced all their main players including Kobe.

The Cavaliers' momentum to catch up was curbed, and after Kobe came back from a good rest, no one could stop him on the court.

Even so, Brown still did not intend to substitute Hansen.

The Lakers widened the score again and eventually won the game.

After the game, both sides shook hands.

"You fought well."

When shaking hands with Hansen, Kobe took the initiative to reach out and hug him.

Although the two of them were arguing with each other and sparring with each other on the court, it was obvious that Kobe admired Hansen.

However, Han Sen was furious at the moment and his mind was not on this.

After hastily finishing the handshake, Han Sen returned to the locker room.

After losing the game, which was a highlight match on Christmas Day, the atmosphere in the locker room was a bit depressing.

Han Sen sat there, getting angrier the more he thought about it.

The Lakers were the defending champions, and he knew they would be the two-time champions this season.

Because the two teams belong to different divisions, they only play against each other twice a season.

This time it is a Christmas battle. If he can win, and he leads the team to a comeback victory, it will be his battle to become a god.

But Brown and the others don’t care about that at all!

At this moment, Valanciunas also entered the locker room and whistled at Hansen after seeing his appearance.

Although they lost the game, he felt good about Han Sen's frustrated look.

This is the fate of not being one with the light. What does it matter if you have the ability? You can only sit on the bench honestly.

Han Sen stood up suddenly, and Vallejo was so frightened that he lost his voice instantly.

Hansen then pushed Vallejo away. In his anger, he had no control over his strength and knocked Vallejo to the ground.

Everyone in the locker room was stunned.

But Han Sen left the locker room without looking back.

"This guy... this guy is a bastard!" Valanciunas came to his senses only after being helped up by Gibson, and he pointed at the locker room door and cursed.

Hansen called Thomas after leaving the locker room.

"Let them trade me." Han Sen spoke directly after the call was connected.

He didn't go to Brown again. After he yelled at Brown for a trade in the gym last time but it fell on deaf ears, he knew that Brown couldn't decide anything.

The real decision maker is the Cavaliers management, and that requires communication with the agent.
