Offense to defense, Hansen kept the ball and continued to set up the screen with Guy.
What Wade was thinking didn’t matter, the important thing was to beat the Heat, and to beat them thoroughly.
Hansen faced Jas again, but this ti he didn’t rush the attack. Instead, he dribbled the ball and lured Jas to the three-point line.
"You don’t think that just because you managed to beat an underdeveloped Pacers with a footstool and had a good ga eliminating an old Celtics, you can win, do you?"
He observed the Heat’s defensive positioning and then continued the topic,
"Have you forgotten what you experienced in the finals back in 2007?"
Through the years, the power in the East and the West hadn’t been on the sa level, if not for the ergence of the Big Three in Boston, the West would have swept the championships.
5.
Hansen’s Anti-Fans System finally started to co online.
It seed that the mory of being swept in ’07 was a thorn deeply lodged in Jas’ heart.
Then, taking advantage of a mont when Jas was montarily distracted, Hansen made a move, swiftly getting past him.
Because he moved so quickly and unexpectedly, the Heat’s help defense couldn’t set up in ti, and Hansen confidently sank another mid-range shot.
Hey, why is it that Jas really seems just like a mphis street at four in the morning!
Of course, Hansen’s trash-talking wasn’t finished.
After making the shot, as he brushed past Jas, Hansen dropped an even more heart-piercing comnt,
"You’ve been feeding off the benefits in the East for years, forming the Big Three without even clinching the top spot once. What if you were traded to the West? How would it be then?"
It was true there were benefits to playing in the East, and no one knew this better than Jas.
Especially since, although Hansen didn’t ntion it, what ca to his mind was the fact that he had already found success with the Grizzlies.
If Jas later moved to the West and still couldn’t match Hansen’s achievents, it wouldn’t just be a question of career planning but his personal capabilities coming under significant scrutiny.
Once back on defense, Hansen saw that the confident look Jas previously had was completely gone.
His goal had been achieved.
He and Guy switched back to guarding each other.
Wade, after seeing Hansen move back to defense, passed the ball to Chalrs, who then moved it towards Jas’ side.
During organized plays, Wade and Jas stood on opposite sides, which was why Hansen previously couldn’t help defend against Jas; his speed wasn’t enough to cover the whole half-court.
Jas decided to post up against Guy.
Guy braced himself solidly against him.
Then as Jas spun around, he lost control of the ball.
Guy, still exerting force, saw what looked like a huge pie falling from the sky.
He lunged at it like a man who hadn’t eaten in three als and sprinted forward at full speed.
Once past half-court, he couldn’t help but look back and saw Wade blocked by Hansen and Jas not even chasing; only Chalrs was hurrying back.
Looking back seed to invigorate him further; he surged to the front court, jumped, and delivered a tomahawk slam dunk.
"Boom!"
As the ball smashed through the hoop, the entire FedEx Forum erupted into frenzy.
to 34.
The Grizzlies once again widened the gap!
Spoelstra called for a tiout.
Guy rushed excitedly towards Hansen for a chest bump.
Although he wasn’t aware of what exactly Hansen and Jas had said, he could feel that the Jas he was guarding just now was a completely different person from the one who had been trying three-pointers against him.
Maybe in addition to never provoking Hansen, the Grizzlies’ opponents should also add another note: never talk to Hansen during a ga!
