The No.1 Anti-Fans in Basketball-Chapter 162 - 114 "Unhappy"_2

Besides what Guy mentioned, including those little fragmented steps in boxing, "Little Dog Steps" were mostly inspired by that.

Looks like he could learn that if he gets the chance later on.

And having that skill on the court serves as a deterrent too. Opponents would think twice about playing dirty.

When Guy took Hansen into the kitchen for a tour, Hansen met Guy’s Lela...

"Is this your wife?" Guy must be really happy.

"This is my girlfriend Ecko, but we already have plans to get married," said Guy as he embraced Ecko comfortably.

"Be sure to invite me then," Hansen said, unsure of what Swift was up to at that moment.

As Guy had mentioned earlier, Ecko indeed put in great effort for the feast, preparing a big table full of dishes.

After dinner, Guy took Hansen to his study.

There, Hansen didn’t see many books, but he did see many medals, all about St. Jude’s Children’s Hospital.

Guy spoke tirelessly, and Hansen learned from him that it was a research hospital specializing in pediatric diseases.

Guy had already rallied numerous NBA players, including George Carl of the Nuggets.

He even established a temporary domestic organization called "Memphis House" for this cause.

This certainly surprised Hansen, as he didn’t expect Guy to be so dedicated to charitable causes.

"You’d better stay away from that guy Zack," Guy advised Hansen later in the conversation.

"Why?" Hansen hadn’t had much interaction with Randolph yet.

"That guy has been a troublemaker and a thug since he was young, and he even burst his teammate Reuben Patterson’s eye socket with a punch in Portland. In New York, he directly threw water at Nate Robinson. Had it not been for others holding him back, a fight would have certainly broken out."

With just a brief description from Guy, Hansen could already picture those scenes.

This did match his perception of Randolph.

Hansen glanced at Guy and thought about Randolph—it almost seemed like a pairing of "no brains" with "unhappiness."

No wonder the Grizzlies, with such a lineup last season, couldn’t make the playoffs. Managing 40 wins just meant it was tough for Conley.

Randolph and Guy are not quite the same.

In Hollins’ tactical system, Guy seemed a bit like "an extra", but Randolph was truly the core.

It could be said that unless Hollins resigns, none of this would change.

This also meant that Hansen’s approach toward Randolph and Guy definitely couldn’t be the same.

With Guy, it was competition; with Randolph, cooperation.

Essentially, since he and Randolph didn’t compete directly, one being the inside and the other on the outside.

Besides, for now, they complemented each other on the court, and the chemistry wasn’t bad.

Even if Randolph really was the "asshole" Guy mentioned, as long as they didn’t conflict off the court, it didn’t affect him.

Time quickly passed, and it was already late November.

At this point, more than a month had passed since the start of the 2010-2011 NBA season.

Stan updated his power ranking for the third time this season.

Due to previous controversies, his ranking was closely watched, regarded by some as the "Bible," as Hansen had mentioned earlier, and it garnered much discussion.

There had been significant changes in the ranking over the month.

The Bulls jumped from ninth place straight to the top.

The Bulls’ main lineup had only added Bozer compared to last season, but ever since the previous Celtics’ first assistant coach, "farmer" Tom Thibodeau, took over, he built a team similar to the Iverson-era 76ers, topping the league standings.

Meanwhile, the much-watched Heat continued to slide, now falling to the initial ninth place held by the Bulls.

This truly reflected Stan’s professionalism since the Heat’s performance since the start of the season had been shocking.

It was initially thought that their opening loss to the Grizzlies was an anomaly, but unexpectedly, over a month into the season, they had won only 9 and lost 8.

It’s worth noting they are in The East, which is considered a welfare division. Had they been in The West, they wouldn’t even have a fifty percent win rate.

The Big Three really formed just to be lonely. freёwebnoѵel.com

"Closed-door meetings," "plane meetings" ensued as expected, and during the recent loss to the Mavericks, the "bumping shoulder" incident that sparked nationwide controversy occurred.

In the third quarter, trailing in the score, James was subbed out. As he returned to the bench, he faced coach Spoelstra walking towards him and instead of avoiding him, James bumped into him head-on, causing Spoelstra’s suit almost to slide off, with James completely ignoring him the entire time.

However, contrary to expectations, only a few people criticized James’s behavior; many more cried out for Spoelstra’s dismissal.

That’s very basketball-like. When a team performs poorly, the coach is always the first to be blamed.

Not to mention that Spoelstra was still a young coach.

Another team that garnered much attention was the Grizzlies.

The Grizzlies moved from sixteenth place directly to eighth, one spot higher than the Heat.

This was all thanks to their record.

So far this season, they had achieved a record of 11 wins and 6 losses, placing fourth in The West, following the Spurs, Lakers, and Mavericks.

Achieving this performance in the hellish West was truly surprising.
