Basketball's No. 1 Anti-Fan

Chapter 7: Planting Flowers but They Don't Bloom
Until the end of the show, the scene that Han Sen expected never appeared.

In the end, Barkley didn't diss him like he dissed Yao Ming.

Seeing the end, Han Sen smiled helplessly.

It’s not that Barkley has changed, but that he doesn’t know Barkley well enough.

Because of the donkey-kissing incident that year, he formed a stereotype about Barkley, thinking that this guy just likes to argue with people.

That's why he felt strange about the tone of Barkley's voice in the private message.

But if you abandon that stereotype and look back, it is a perfectly normal communication.

And since Barkley chose to put his material on the show, how could he deliberately discredit him?

After all, he is just an unknown person. If you really think he is not good enough, just don't let him into the show.

This result obviously did not meet Han Sen's expectations, but fortunately it was not a complete loss. At least the increase in [Black Fan Value] during this period was real.

Besides, all roads lead to Rome. If this one doesn't work, just try another one.

You have to know that BOAT's success was never achieved overnight. It was only after they produced classic quotes and behaviors time and time again that they won the recognition of fans.

Since media professionals can’t do it, what about NBA players?
Han Sen was brewing his new plan.

As expected, an accident happened.

When Han Sen woke up the next morning, he checked his [Anti-Fan Value] as usual, feeling a little sleepy.

Just with this one glance, he suddenly became sober.

[Anti-Fan Value] is skyrocketing at a speed he has never seen before!
Something went wrong with the system?
still?

He sat up directly from the bed, propped his pillow against the headboard, and accessed his personal social media account.

When he first entered, he thought he had logged into the wrong account, because the number of followers of the account was several times more than he remembered.

But then I thought, his small accounts didn’t pay attention to the number at all.

Looking more closely, he saw that the article he posted titled "The Strength of the NCAA's Top Shooter" was already filled with new comments, and a considerable number of them were popular.

“How many power banks did it take to record this?”

"You can tell by the way he's soaked. This is called pretending to be rich."

"If I want to be the best, I have to tell everyone that I am the best. Then can't I call myself the GOAT?"

"I don't know how much money this guy gave to TNT. A player from a second-tier league can actually be on TNT's show."

"Doesn't Barkley like to kiss butts? This guy is Asian and has a tender butt!"

……

Han Sen finished reading it with a frown on his brow, but after finishing it he couldn't help but burst into laughter.

In yesterday's TNT show, his user name and ID were indeed hidden, but the link was not.

As long as you are interested, you can find his account through the link!

Moreover, these comments are different from those of the black fans he had cultivated before. Their starting points are different.

After all, those he trained were recruited from Curry, so when people criticize him, they always stand on Curry's perspective.

But these people are different. They came here simply because TNT broadcast his show and they were displeased with him and wanted to smear him.

This is very normal. Even though Barkley was defending him, the way he posted was just like calling himself the best in history, which was too annoying.

Even though many people were convinced by Barkley, there were also many who were not convinced.

Not to mention that Barkley is TNT's leading lady, who often goes against the mainstream for traffic, and he himself has a lot of black fans.

This is simply: If you try hard to plant flowers but they don’t bloom, you will always find a new village with bright flowers!

"Han, what happened?" Han Sen's laughter woke Rondo up.

Looking at Rondo who was still rubbing his eyes, Han Sen said with a smile, "I'm famous."

"Is it really popular? Did anyone say that my filming was good?" Rondo slid from his bed to Hansen's bed.

"Take a look for yourself." Han Sen handed over the phone.

Rondo took the phone and his face full of anticipation quickly turned into a frown.

"How can this be called being popular? This is all slander against you!"

"Black and red are also red." Han Sen disagreed. "I don't know whether to say you have a good attitude or that you have a good attitude."

Rondo was speechless. These people's words were so harsh, and even involved personal attacks. If he were him, he would have been unable to tolerate it long ago.

"Chris, you have to know that I am just a nobody now."

"I still don't understand." Rondo handed the phone back to Hansen. The more he read these comments, the more infuriating they became.

"Let me give you an example." Han Sen said as he crossed his legs and sat up straight.
"If a person cannot enter the NBA based on his talent, but because he has a superstar father, he gets the attention of the NBA, but also suffers a lot of doubts because of this, do you think it is a good thing or a bad thing for him to have such a superstar father?"

"That's certainly a good thing!"

Rondo was stunned for a moment after answering, then immediately nodded in realization.

Even if it's a black and red, as long as you can get the attention of NBA scouts and enter the NBA, it's a good thing.

"But when you enter the NBA, these will become disadvantages for you, right?" Rondo then questioned.
"Even if you delete them all, others will take screenshots. The Internet has memory."

"Why should I delete them?" Han Sen asked with a smile.

"Why not delete it?" This question stunned Rondo.

"Why did you delete it?" Han Sen stared at Rondo.

"When I really enter the NBA, they will see these and say, 'Look, Han dared to say that he was the top shooter in the NCAA when he was in the NCAA Division II League. How confident he is, how different he is. This is a person who is destined to succeed!'"

"..."

Rondo widened his eyes and wanted to refute but seemed unable to find a point to refute.

"Chris, you have to know that people have double standards. They will only comment on the current situation."

Rondo shook his head. Han Sen used to be quiet, but now he would say things he couldn't understand.

Han Sen waved his hands when he saw this. He was indeed stupid for talking about double standards with an American.

After school, Han Sen arrived at the training hall early.

With a better mood, the man's enthusiasm for training also increased.

He had been practicing for a while when Tois also came to the gym.

Han Sen stopped training and walked towards Tois.

A player's outstanding performance is inseparable from the coach, because the coach allocates the player's playing time and tactical position.

This is particularly evident in the NCAA because the NCAA has no management. The coaches are the management. You can even say that the coaches directly decide the future of the players.

After Tois encouraged Hansen last time, he directly confirmed his tactical core position in the team in the following games. Hansen was very grateful to him.

"Coach, why are you here so early?" Han Sen took the initiative to extend his hand to greet him.

Tois smiled and said directly: "One good news and one bad news, which one do you want to hear first?"

What a classic question! Han Sen didn't even think twice before answering: "Good news."

"On December 12, we will play against an NCAA Division I team."

"Really?"

Han Sen was instantly excited. His [Anti-Fan Value] was increasing rapidly, but not fast enough.

Playing another game against a team from the first-tier league would be the best opportunity.

“The school that was originally scheduled to play against them was hit by a pandemic flu, so they switched to us as their opponent.”

"Coach, you are awesome!" Hansen gave Tois a thumbs up.

As mentioned before, except for the season opener, it is almost impossible for the second-tier league teams to get the opportunity to play against the first-tier league teams.

So even though Toyes may sound casual, that is definitely the result of his hard work.

After all, they changed opponents. There are so many schools in the first and second level leagues, why did they choose you?

"Why don't you ask what the bad news is?" Tois asked with a smile.

"Our opponent is North Carolina?"

"That's not the case." Tois didn't expect Hansen to be so positive. He then told him the bad news.
“It’s Michigan State University.”

Let me explain the meaning of "boat": it is the nickname Riley gave to James during his time with the Heat, best of all time, which is similar to "goat", but can open up new tracks. The only difference is that the English translation of "boat" is "ship". Later, fans joked that boats dock everywhere, which was linked to James' change of teams. So James didn't like it and still called himself "goat". The use of "boat" in the book is also to distinguish it, because "goat" is undoubtedly Jordan.
