Paul almost missed Hansen’s na!
After all, Hansen was just a player who averaged 23 points per ga, which was a gap compared to the other three.
The Grizzlies arrived in Los Angeles the day before the ga.
They heard the news right after getting off the plane.
"This guy always talks trash!" Guy looked really angry.
In the first round of ga two, Hansen’s words made them understand the purpose of his sacrifice, and it had proven to be an effective one.
Without any exaggeration, had it not been for Hansen’s sacrifice, they wouldn’t have won G2, and as Stan predicted, they would still be fiercely battling the Mavericks, heading straight for a ga seven.
As a result, Paul attacked Hansen for that, and no one asked if Hansen’s votes had increased!
Moreover, Hansen’s 51 points against the Mavericks in the first round had already said everything.
You, Jas and Durant, had such great regular-season stats; why can’t you play like that in the playoffs? Is it because you don’t want to?
"If I want, I could be the Scoring King every season."
Guy was about to bring up the big talk that Jas had back in Cleveland.
"Han, you shoot more, and let’s slap them hard in the playoffs." The more Guy thought about it, the angrier he beca.
In fact, they all understood that Hansen was the one who "could improve his stats if he wanted to."
"What did you just say?" Hansen turned his head and asked Guy at this mont.
"I said we should create more scoring opportunities for you." Guy thought Hansen hadn’t heard him clearly.
"No, the sentence before that."
"Why is CP3’s mouth always so foul?" Guy scratched his head, a bit confused about what Hansen was getting at.
"You’re right," Hansen nodded.
Although Paul shared many similarities with Jas, he wasn’t particularly known for talking big.
"He wants to fall into playing solo," Hansen said with a laugh.
Why did he understand this imdiately? Not only because Paul wasn’t the kind to talk big, but also because this was a tactic he often used.
Especially against Durant; it worked ti and again.
"They are scared of us." Seeing that Guy still didn’t understand, Hansen added.
Paul didn’t have the Anti-Fans System like him, to do so for the sake of anti-fan values.
Now Guy slapped his head, realizing it.
Using this tactic, Paul wasn’t necessarily scared, but he was indeed wary of them.
The next evening, Staples Center, the venue was packed.
When Hansen walked out of the player’s tunnel, the cara focused on him imdiately, and booing erupted in the arena.
Starting from his rookie years when he claid Kobe was not the "best in the league", to later attacking Griffin, Hansen had pinched the flesh of LA fans both ways, and he deserved the boos.
Hansen also enjoyed the anti-fan values contributed by the fans in Los Angeles.
Now, he still got booed when playing at North Shore Garden Arena, but he couldn’t get much anti-fan value.
It still had to be Los Angeles, this city of fashion, where the audience that ca to the gas each night was always different.
The players began their pre-ga warm-ups, and at the comntator’s desk, TNT’s The Big Three started their coverage.
The NBA’s regular season and playoffs broadcasting rights are sold separately; TNT had the contract for the playoffs from the second round to the Finals.
This was why many fans couldn’t see The Big Three’s comntary during the regular season and the first round of playoffs.
The easiest topic for warming up the audience naturally was "Who do you favor tonight?"
"Trust , buddy, the Grizzlies will definitely win tonight’s ga. They eliminated the defending champions 4-1. They are severely underestimated!" This ti Barkley didn’t let O’Neal steal his lines.
And this also fit his usual role on TNT, where Barkley was famous for being contrarian.
Whover the public favored, he would go against them; if right, he would be dramatically acclaid, and if wrong, he could still gain attention by undergoing punishnts.
This was like Hansen, either way, he won.
"Although the Grizzlies did great in the first round, I still have to say, the Lakers will be tonight’s winners," O’Neal said with a squeezed-out smile, looking "happy."
In his career on TNT, Barkley still carried more weight, so O’Neal, the newcor, continued playing his previous role.
"Shaq, didn’t you previously say the Grizzlies are the champions?" Of course, the act had to be complete, and Barkley imdiately asked with a smile.
"The playoffs are different from the regular season. The Lakers have championship DNA, they are experienced, they have 16 championships, and I contributed three of those," O’Neal said his lines while also proudly bragging to Barkley.
Then, as usual, a bet arose, this ti the wager being that the loser would appear on one episode wearing only underwear from the waist down.
Ever since O’Neal joined TNT, their betting had beco more frequent and more abstract.
Just as they finished betting, the spotlight in the arena focused on the center of the court.
A ceremony was held for Kobe’s MVP award.
When Stern announced the award recipient and handed the MVP trophy to Kobe, a deafening cheer erupted in the venue.
As the second-highest scoring shooting guard in NBA history and an icon of the league for a long ti, although Kobe had already won five championships, having only one MVP was sothing quite regrettable.
In comparison, although Jas had yet to win any championship, he already had two MVP trophies.
When Kobe picked up the microphone, he was imdiately interrupted by the cheering of the fans, you could really feel their enthusiasm.
