The No.1 Anti-Fans in Basketball-Chapter 607 - 297: Wait a Moment, Let Me Show Off

"What did he just do?!" At the commentator’s table, O’Neal’s eyes widened in disbelief.

Curry lives by the three-pointer, and while it’s surprising that he can make such unbelievable shots, it’s not incomprehensible.

After all, with three-point shooting, you either get more accurate with more attempts—vertically, or you shoot from further away—horizontally.

Surely you can’t expect a three-point shooter to dunk before shooting, like going through the legs or switching hands in the air, right?

But Hansen, even though he can shoot threes, that’s supposed to be the weakest part of his arsenal.

Yet just now, Hansen stood at the logo and chucked the ball in!

And unlike a fluke, it was clearly deliberate, with the trajectory of his shot looking beautiful.

In other words, he has that range!

That’s a conclusion, but a very startling one.

You see, if Hansen, already versatile inside the three-point line, making defenses struggle, starts hitting from logo range too, what does that mean?

It’s like omnipotence in the face of the Grim Reaper, full firepower coverage!

Well, Curry could be described that way too, but the image of Jordan owning logo-range threes gives a much bigger impact.

The Cavaliers’ bench was ecstatic at this point.

Unlike O’Neal’s shock, they were more excited.

Hansen had demonstrated this scoring ability in training camp.

But training is training, like how many big centers can shoot threes and break through in practice but won’t do so in a game.

But Hansen was showing it in a game!

Even not just the bench, the Cavaliers on the court were extremely excited at that moment.

Especially Irving, who found Hansen and gave him a high five in transition defense.

He had been played a bit dizzy by Curry tonight, and now, there was someone else who could play like Curry!

Some were joyous, some were gloomy.

On the Warriors’ side, except for the Splash Brothers, everyone else, including Walton, was dumbfounded and shocked.

Seeing a teammate like Curry make those shots was exciting, but seeing an opponent do it—well, they got a taste of what Irving was feeling.

That’s not how you play the game, bro!

Hansen sent a challenging look to Curry, who then tried to respond.

But Irving, now pumped up, clung to him like a leech.

Due to physical constraints, Irving would struggle to be a top-level defender—you can’t imagine him backing down Kobe—but with his quick steps and agility, he had the potential to defend someone as elusive as Curry.

Curry had to run a figure "8" and use multiple screens from the Warriors to get open, but Hansen saw his chance and interfered with the help defense. ƒгeewёbnovel.com

Although Curry’s quick release saved him from being blocked, the shot was visibly too strong.

The ball ultimately clinked off the back rim and bounced high—Curry’s counter had failed.

TT secured the defensive rebound, and the Cavaliers quickly advanced forward, where Hansen, after catching the ball, successfully faked a three-pointer and fooled Iguodala.

It wasn’t that Iguodala suddenly lost his experience, but like earlier with Curry, after consecutive threes, the defender couldn’t afford not to jump.

Hansen seized that instant to drive, then a quick step-back three.

No matter how good Iguodala was at defense, having been juked once, it was hard to keep up with Hansen’s pace.

Curry then left Irving to fling himself at Hansen from the side.

His timing was on point, but his physical ability could not reach.

Hansen jumped, feeling something fly beneath him.

No matter, no effect.

"Swoosh!"

Hansen hits three threes in a row!

The atmosphere in the arena was instantly restless.

Their frustration was even worse than Irving’s.

How on earth do you defend that?

73-70!

The Cavaliers had taken the lead.

The focus then shifted to Curry on the floor.

All the hopes of the Bay Area rested on this skinny, 6-foot-2 guard.

The Warriors sped up again, but the Cavaliers were gradually adapting to the pace. Their quick transition defense didn’t give the Warriors a chance to find an opening.

Both teams settled into half-court play, and as Curry received the ball at the three-point line, Irving was entangled with him again.

But his next move was surprising, choosing to step back beyond the three-point line!

For a moment, you couldn’t tell if it should be called a three-point step-back or a step-back three-pointer.

But it did help Curry successfully create space from Irving, who then once again experienced Curry’s rapid-fire ability.

Irving lunged at the first opportunity, but the ball still flew inches from his forehead.

"Swoosh!"

Curry’s three-pointer pierced the Brooklyn Nets like an arrow.

This time Curry successfully countered!

And this was his fourth three-pointer of the quarter!

The scene shocked everyone, or rather, no one expected this turn of events in the third quarter.

The most exaggerated expression belonged to Jokic on the sidelines.

He came from the European basketball system, which values team play and creating the best scoring opportunities.

But clearly, the performances of Curry and Hansen during this period were like saying to that philosophy: Go to hell!

His understanding of basketball was being rapidly refreshed.

On the Cavaliers’ possession, Iguodala wasn’t just stepping on the three-point line to guard Hansen; he was starting to defend him full-court.

He was trying his best to limit Hansen’s touches.

In fact, it wasn’t just him; on Walton’s cue, the Warriors’ defense spread out wide, determined not to give Hansen any more outside shooting opportunities.
