The No.1 Anti-Fans in Basketball-Chapter 218 - 136 Grizzlies Locker Room Motto (Seeking Daily Votes for Monthly Tickets!)_2

Chapter 218: Chapter 136 Grizzlies Locker Room Motto (Seeking Daily Votes for Monthly Tickets!)_2

Hansen’s praise was actually not without merit, for at the time he’d merely asked Conley to do his best to stop Westbrook and had not expected Conley to pull off a clean steal, let alone toss the ball away immediately afterward, denying the Thunders a chance to commit a foul, thus achieving his own redemption.

"Han said he’d lead us to win the game, so you saw what happened," Conley added before setting down the microphone.

It wasn’t just that Hansen led them to win, he led them to win twice.

This drew a burst of surprise from the reporters below, who quickly scribbled notes.

"Tonight Russell Westbrook scored 40 points. How do you assess his performance?" The next reporter stood up and continued to question Hansen.

Hansen felt a gleam in his eye.

"Pal, I have a different take on Russell," he said with a sly grin,

"To the outside world, the Thunders might seem like KD’s team, but I think Russell is underrated. He can bring an endless energy to his teammates and is fully capable of being the main star of a team."

Hansen’s post-game interview was reported by the media, and Carrell also took this moment to make a push with a wave of publicity.

"Not once, but twice, Hansen captures the Thunders"

"Number 77 shines, KD paled in comparison"

"I lead you to victory!"

"God donned the jersey number 0, and then Hansen defeated Him"

Just like Randolph was overlooked by fans and coaches alike, teams like the Grizzlies, with little team history and a small market, belonged to the sort that no one pays attention to unless they make the playoffs.

Therefore, after such a game, it was necessary to act in this way to draw outside attention and increase Hansen’s popularity.

After the game ended, Hansen returned home and video-called Swift, who had been busy producing a new single recently, and the two hadn’t seen each other in a while.

It was during the call that Hansen saw the Anti-Fans System constantly popping up with +1.5 points.

After hanging up, he checked social media and found that there were many "new haters" attacking him.

"You know nothing; the League made an unfair selection. KD supported his teammates to the end!"

"You don’t appreciate KD’s greatness just because of his previous joke about ’shower water,’ now you just want to see him blunder."

"Han is not even in KD’s league; one-on-one, KD would blow him out. He’s only successful due to the better teammates." freewёbnoνel.com

Reading these comments, Hansen couldn’t help but laugh.

He only made one remark at the press conference, and Durant was already this defensive, keeping it real.

But this kind of defensiveness was good.

Although the Grizzlies were now leading 2-1, the two teams were very close in strength, and internal problems at such times could lead to a downfall first.

Two days later, the Grizzlies continued to defend their home court against the Thunders.

Still a tight game, but when it came to crunch time, certain details on the court became the deciding factors.

Durant chose a forceful isolation play at the last moment, but his efficiency slumped after being worn down by the tandem of Allen and Battier.

Hansen’s attempt to sow discord was too obvious; Durant was not about to have a falling out with Westbrook over it.

But no conflict doesn’t mean there’s no impact.

Especially with Durant’s forthright nature, those burner account comments after the game were clearly visible and could influence a player’s decisions at crucial moments reflexively.

In contrast, on the Grizzlies’ side, they still played team basketball.

Hansen wasn’t feeling his shot, so he focused on drawing the defense away to create opportunities for Randolph and Little Gasol in the paint.

In the end, Randolph and Little Gasol combined for 50 points and 31 rebounds in the paint, and the Grizzlies won at home 101 to 93, taking a 3-1 lead in the series, with great prospects for advancing.

Earlier, the Hawks also narrowly defeated the Magic 88 to 85, taking a similar 3-1 series lead.

If this trend continued, upsets in both the East and The West seemed irreversible, with Stan being highly praised.

The next game of the series would take place in Oklahoma. Before departure, the Grizzlies carried out their routine training in Memphis.

The content of the training was no different from normal, mainly focusing on low-post tactics. The only difference was Guy pedaling on a stationary bike at the sidelines.

Although he couldn’t play, he needed to stay in shape, and Guy, who was recovering on schedule, was already able to do some off-ball training.

Halfway through the training during a break, Guy came down from the bike to where Hansen was.

"Why keep practicing this way when you don’t play like this in the games?" Guy asked, puzzled.

Just as Hansen was about to reply, he heard a cough.

Hollins had been sitting behind them unnoticed.

Guy had directly stepped on his face with that remark.

Guy turned, took a glance, and showed no sign of having misspoken, had he?

Just as Hansen was about to say something, Hollins got up and left.

Hansen couldn’t help but pat Guy on the shoulder—you think you can stay on that bike and behave?

Two days later, the Thunders managed to defeat the Grizzlies 111 to 102 on their home court, taking a city back.

Durant only shot 17 times in the game, hitting 11 for 26 points, seemingly not that keen on attacking.

But Westbrook and Harden both scored over 20, and even Ibaka added 15 points.

The Thunders, who had previously played star basketball, were forced to their limits and began to play as a team.

And this result made it clear that Durant’s burner account commentary was pure nonsense. By the standards of teammates, no team in the League could compare to the Thunders except for the Heat Team.
