Basketball's No. 1 Anti-Fan

Chapter 91 Plans and Changes

Chapter 91 Plans and Changes (Two in One)

At the post-match press conference, Hansen was naturally asked by reporters about the fans' "celebration moment" before the end of the game.

"Why do you think they shouted like that? Is it related to what you said before the game?"

The reporter asked this question knowing the answer.

"I think it's just the fans expressing their emotions. It's a long series and this is just the beginning."

Han Sen did not continue to answer.

Although that would earn him more haters, Han Sen understood one thing: a cornered dog will jump over the wall, and even a cornered rabbit will bite.

If you really take advantage of the situation, the Celtics will fight you to death in the next game.

Moreover, the current situation of this Cavaliers team is not as shown in G1, where they have absolute suppression power over the Celtics.

Even as shown at the beginning, they are still the disadvantaged side.

To put it bluntly, G1 is a game of chance.

Perkins' two early fouls not only disrupted Rivers' rotation arrangements, but also caused the Celtics' defensive system to disintegrate early.

You can't expect this kind of random factor to appear every night.

But O'Neal will continue to miss G2 and James is still troubled by his right elbow injury. These are established facts.

"Hansen scored 33 points in his playoff debut, he is the future of Cleveland."

However, being low-key at the press conference does not mean that you have to be low-key after the game.

Kalil published a very topical report on ESPN after the game.

This report also attracted heated discussions among fans on social media.

The last rookie to perform so well in his playoff debut was Rose, who was eliminated by the Cavaliers in the first round.

Rose is the future of Chicago, why can't Hansen be the future of Cleveland?
From this perspective, there is nothing wrong with this statement.

But the key to the problem is that James is still in the Cavaliers!

Although James has been in the league for 7 years, he entered the league as a high school student and is only 25 years old now.

The King of Cleveland is here, how can anyone else claim to be the future?

However, it is this logic that naturally triggered a topic that fans have always known about but have never had the opportunity to discuss: James' summer choice.

After discussing this issue, it's just like an injury, there's no end to it.

Some James fans say that James will win the championship this season, continue to be on par with Jordan, and create his own dynasty in Cleveland.

Some Kobe fans said that James is in poor condition now due to his injury and it is impossible for him to win the championship no matter what. Even if he wins the championship, as a businessman and player, he will choose to leave.

You say yours, I say mine, and the final result is that Khalil's report has become very popular.

Han Sen did not gain many anti-fans because he was not the focus of the discussion, but his influence in the alliance increased.

After all, his 33 points in this debut were real.

After two days of rest, the second game of the series between the two sides continued.

This game did not have the randomness of G1, and the Celtics completely guarded Hansen and did not give him any chance, which put the Cavaliers in a passive position from the start.

The two games that the Cavaliers won in the regular season were due to the mutual restraint between Hansen and James, which made the Celtics' defense suffer from decision-making difficulties.

But now James' offensive threat has dropped significantly due to injury, and that kind of restraint has disappeared.

The Cavaliers eventually lost to the Celtics 86-104.

韩森的防守依然出色，依然有3抢断1盖帽的防阵级别数据，但是他全场13投4中仅得11分。

This makes perfect sense.

If he could score high points continuously against the Celtics' tight defense, he would not be Hansen, but Kobe.

No, not even Kobe can do it, maybe only that man can do it.

After the first two games, the two sides were tied at 1-1, seemingly on the same starting line, but the Cavaliers were still at a disadvantage.

In the "history" that Hansen knew, it was no coincidence that the Cavaliers lost to the Celtics that year.

But the good news is that O'Neal is about to make a comeback.

On the night they arrived in Boston, O'Neal and Hansen discussed tomorrow's game in the hotel room.

O'Neal's goal is to win his fifth championship and surpass Kobe. Although Hansen does not have that kind of obsession, he also wants to make it to the finals.

The finals, like the March Madness, is a bigger stage. Those who can enter will have their net worth increased a hundredfold, at least significantly.

Even taking a step back, if the Cavaliers increase their exposure, then even if James leaves, their appeal to free agents will become greater.

Therefore, two people with a common goal will naturally become more compatible the more they talk.

As for why O'Neal didn't go find James, or invite James to talk together?

Because James is now injured, although he can still score 20+ points by traveling during off-peak hours, it is not enough to change the Celtics' defense.

What they have to do now, or what they can do, is to make O'Neal the new distraction point, and then play with Hansen to the same effect as the Cavaliers did before.

That's the only way they can win the game.

Just as they were enjoying their conversation, someone knocked on the door.

Han Sen got up to open the door and saw through the peephole that it was a delivery man.

"Did you order takeout?" Han Sen turned around and looked at O'Neal.

O'Neill shook his head.

Han Sen opened the door puzzled. After some communication, he found out that the coaching staff had ordered it for them so that they wouldn't go hungry.

"I'm hungry too." After Han Sen opened the takeaway and revealed the delicious pizza inside, O'Neal couldn't help but reach out.

A big guy like him gets hungry very quickly.

After chatting for so long, Han Sen was indeed hungry.

But just as he was about to reach out, he suddenly stopped O'Neal who was about to put the pizza into his mouth.

"Do you remember the flu war?"

Han Sen's words made O'Neal swallow his saliva and reluctantly throw the pizza back into the box.

As someone who had played against Jordan in the conference finals, how could he not know the famous flu game.

Before Jordan's decisive battle in the finals, he ate a pizza in the early morning, and then he started vomiting, diarrhea and had a high fever. However, he still led the team to victory with a high fever and scored 38 points. He finally collapsed in Pippen's arms, which became a world-famous painting.

O'Neal couldn't help but take another look at the pizza. It was so tempting.

"That shouldn't be the case, right?" he asked unwillingly.

"If it was before, it probably wouldn't happen, but it's hard to say now. After all, I'm recognized as their father." Han Sen said as he took out his cell phone.

Isn’t it very simple? Just call Ma Long to confirm.

After hearing this, O'Neal also reached out and closed the pizza box.

This time, in addition to Khalil's report that became popular, there was another report that became popular as expected, which was naturally Who is your daddy.

Although social media in this era is not as developed as the era Hansen experienced, this joke is really popular.

Some people have started to photoshop photos of Hansen and the Celtics' Big Three into father-son photos.

In this context, and in Boston, Hansen's risk factor is indeed very high.

After finishing the call, Han Sen breathed a sigh of relief.

"It can be thrown away."

Malone said the coaching staff did not have such an arrangement.

It is true that it is better to be safe than sorry.

Han Sen put his phone down, walked to the door, opened it, looked around, and then left and returned.

"That guy left a long time ago." O'Neal had already thrown the pizza into the trash can and washed his hands.

"Is there any surveillance camera in this crappy hotel?" Han Sen looked at the door but couldn't find any.

Upon hearing this, O'Neal called the front desk and after some inquiries, he learned that the hotel's surveillance was broken.

"What a coincidence." Han Sen sneered. It seems that the situation of surveillance being broken down in time knows no national boundaries.

Besides, it's 2010 now, and Boston still dares to do this. I can only say that some things are ingrained and cannot be changed.

Just like after they finished training today, there was no hot water in the visiting team's locker room as the legend said, and they had no choice but to go back to the hotel to take a shower.

"There are more than one or two reasons why they are so hated in the league." O'Neal said, touching his stomach. It felt so uncomfortable to have an appetite but have nothing to eat.

On the second day of the game, the Cavaliers conducted routine training in the morning, which was open to the public.

It was at this time that James' condition was surprising.

It seemed like he recovered from his injury overnight, and even his outside shooting returned to normal level.

It took James such a short time to recover to normal. Is his body really that abnormal?
Just after the training, Brown announced that James had been injected with a blocking injection and he would fight with all his strength in G3.

James also gave an inspiring speech afterwards.

This instantly boosted the Cavaliers' morale.

After leaving the training ground, Cunningham and Hansen returned to the hotel together.

This guy has his eyes and ears open in all directions, it's like he's working as a bodyguard part-time.

"Boss, why do you think LeBron needs injections?" Cunningham couldn't help but ask as soon as he entered the room.

Han Sen held his forehead with his hand. This guy wouldn't listen.

"To win, and for the spotlight." Han Sen put his hand down and gave his understanding.

Of course James doesn't want to lose. He wants the championship this season, so how can he lose in the divisional semifinals?
As for the spotlight, the plot of "The Return of the King" has the greatest publicity effect.

In Game 2, James was actually intentionally increasing his number of shots.

Although the two have reached an exchange of interests, if he really steals the limelight, James will definitely take it back.

Moreover, as a trainer, he knows more about sealing needles than ordinary people.

When fans talk about this, they are usually very afraid of its side effects, and can immediately cite examples such as McGrady, Ibaka, and Ding Yanyuhang.

But in fact, this thing is not uncommon in the basketball circle, and there are many people who are fine after taking it, such as Curry, Willis Reed, Kobe, etc. This thing is essentially a drug that paralyzes the senses. Whether it will have a fatal effect depends on many factors, such as the player's playing style, physical fitness, injection dosage, and the player's sense of crisis after taking it.

To put it simply, if you continue to fight after the injection, it can easily aggravate the injury, but if you know how to control yourself, it is not that scary.

But in this case, the tactics he discussed with O'Neal yesterday might have to be put on hold for the time being.

Because James definitely didn't get the injection to play without the ball like he did in G1.

"But no matter what the reason is, it's a good thing for the team." Han Sen finally concluded.

The next day, Game 3 between the Cavaliers and the Celtics started.

It is worth mentioning that Gloria James also came to Boston to cheer for her son.

The Celtics were in high spirits after returning to their home court. Rondo scored 27 points, 6 rebounds and 12 assists, and the Big Three all scored in double digits.

But they eventually lost to the Cavaliers 93-101.

The Cavaliers' offensive and defensive performances were just like they were on stimulants.

詹姆斯在母亲的注视下上演王者归来，26投12中，砍下35分7板7助攻3抢断2盖帽2失误。

贾米森14中6得13分9板，威廉姆斯12投4中得11分5板6助攻，奥尼尔复出第一战6投4中，得到9分4板。

韩森也表现回暖，11投5中得到14分4板4抢断，并且他全场领防皮尔斯，后者在他的防守下17投仅5中。

After winning Game 3, the Cavaliers led the series 2-1.

In the best-of-7 series, the odd-numbered games are all watersheds, including the opening game, the decisive game, the seventh game, and of course the Game 4 that the Cavaliers just won.

With a big score of 2 to 1, as long as we win one more game, we will get the match point directly.

Moreover, James' physical fitness is indeed strong enough. He achieved such data with a blocked shot, and his body did not react much after the game. He can definitely get two more shots in the next games.

The Cavaliers are in a very good position to advance.

This also allowed the Cavaliers players to talk and laugh during training, and their mood was much better than after the previous game.

However, Hansen discovered that Delonte West did not come to training today.

I asked O'Neal and Cunningham, and they didn't know.

After asking Malone again, I found out that West had taken a personal leave.

West took a leave of absence during the playoffs. I don’t know what happened to him.

As far as Hansen could remember, West was living on the streets after he retired, and it seemed like he had mental problems. He just hoped that he wasn't troubled by this.

After the training, Hansen practiced jumping shots with Jamison for a while.

Just like the tribulation in those fantasy novels, he is now infinitely close to the bottleneck of [Giant Killer], and only needs the finishing touch.

Half an hour later, their extra practice ended, but unfortunately they still failed.

It seems that one still needs to rely on "life and death experience (high-intensity competition)" to break through.

After finishing the extra training, the two walked towards the locker room, but heard cursing coming from inside.

The voice was clearly James'.

The two looked at each other, both hesitating whether to avoid it first.

Although James has great power in the Cavaliers, they have never heard of James arguing with anyone in the locker room.

Take the time when Hansen first arrived at the Cavaliers and publicly rejected James, and James also found a way to back down.

James is the type of person who, even if he wants to mess with you, will do it behind your back, not in front of others.

So the situation in the locker room must be unusual right now.

Especially Han Sen, he had seen James' mother appear in the locker room. James' mother is also in Boston now. If the mother and son are arguing in there at this moment, it would be extremely embarrassing if they went in.

But after a while, Han Sen walked forward.

Because he recognized that the other voice was not James' mother, but West.

West is now in his camp, and he can't let West face James alone.

Jamison saw Hansen leaving and after a moment's hesitation he followed him.

The two entered the locker room and the quarrel inside stopped abruptly.

"Delonte, what happened?" Hansen looked at West. He didn't know the details yet.

But before West could answer, James snorted coldly, gave West a threatening look, and angrily left the locker room.

"It's okay." West shook his head.

Han Sen looked confused. What was going on?

"I'm a little tired, I'll go back and rest first." West said and left the locker room.

Now the two people left in the locker room have become the confused fruit on the confused tree, and you and me under the confused tree.

But this was a matter between other people after all. After Jamison came to his senses, he didn't think much about it. He picked up his bag and asked Hansen to go back to the hotel.

There was still no hot water in the visiting team’s locker room, so they had to go back to the hotel to take a shower.

Han Sen nodded and picked up his bag.

After coming to his senses, he remembered a rumor in his memory.

The reason why it is called a rumor is that the parties involved in that incident denied it afterwards.

He now just hopes that it is just a rumor, otherwise the Cavaliers will face huge difficulties in tomorrow night's game.

In the training session on the game day, West came to participate in the training, but James was absent.

Brown explained that James' right elbow injury needed time to recover, but Hansen already felt that something was wrong.

He didn't go to West to ask for the specific reason, because he knew that if what he thought was true, it would be impossible to get any result.

He went straight to O'Neal and prepared to continue discussing the topic that they had not finished discussing that night in the hotel.

"Is that necessary?" O'Neal looked puzzled. He only took 6 shots in the last game and had no chance to shoot at all.

"Things have changed." Han Sen did not explain further.

Seeing Han Sen's serious expression, although O'Neal didn't understand the reason, he finally nodded out of trust in Han Sen.

That night, Game 4 of the series between the Cavaliers and the Celtics continued in Boston.

When Han Sen walked out of the player tunnel, he enjoyed the same treatment as in the previous game.

"Fxck you! 77!"

"77, get out of Boston!"

This is not a slogan, but some Boston fans are directly criticizing him.

Just like the situation outside the hotel during the regular season, the security personnel on the scene did not stop anyone.

Cunningham on the side was about to step forward excitedly, but was pulled back by Hansen.

He smiled and gave the middle finger to the fans who cursed at him.

Thanks to this old friend for his contribution of black fans.

The fan was about to rush forward angrily, but was stopped by security.

Although the NBA does not prohibit fans and players from arguing with each other, physical violence is definitely not allowed.

Han Sen smiled and waved at the other party, then turned and entered the court.

"Boss, I think it's better for you to follow me the whole time." Cunningham was worried about Hansen's personal safety again.

"Don't worry, they wouldn't dare." Han Sen didn't care.

It's not that he is racist. Most white people think they are noble. At most they will say a few words to you, but no one will really fight with you.

Of course, if the opponent is a black man, he still has to be more restrained. He still remembers his encounter with Cunningham in the Summer League.

If he met someone who took out not a dagger but a biubiu gun like Cunningham, he would be in heaven at first sight.

During the pre-match warm-up, Han Sen first saw James.

James is still wearing an elbow guard, and it is not known whether he had it injected in this game, but what attracted more attention than whether he had it injected was his expression.

Han Sen had never seen James with this expression before, just like he had never seen James arguing with anyone in the locker room before.

What kind of expression is that? Hmm, constipation.

It's that feeling, as if it would be uncomfortable to stay here any longer.

This isn't good news, but it's also good news.

Since it is almost unrealistic for James to play well in this state, the tactical strategy agreed upon by him and O'Neal will have a chance to be implemented.

After the warm-up, the starting lineups of both sides were announced one after another.

Cavaliers: Mo Williams, Hansen, James, Jamison, O'Neal
Celtics: Rondo, Ray Allen, Pierce, Garnett, Perkins
This is the first time that the Cavaliers have played with all their players since entering the playoffs.

The game started quickly and the Celtics quickly gained the upper hand.

It's not that they played well, but that James played so badly.

To be honest, even though Han Sen had expected this, he was still shocked.

He had never seen James play so badly.

When he breaks through with the ball, he is either blocked or he loses the ball.

And he didn't stand on the weak side like he did in G1, but just took the ball and went for it.

This is not wanting to win at all.

Five minutes into the game, the Cavaliers started with a 0-8 lead.

This forced Brown to call a timeout.

"LeBron, do you need to rest for a while?" Brown asked James carefully. Of course, he also noticed that something was wrong with James today.

James didn't say anything, just nodded and sat directly on the bench.

Han Sen and O'Neal looked at each other and nodded in tacit understanding.
