"Fake."
Durant was also watching the championship award ceremony in his mansion, and when he heard Hansen’s acceptance speech, he couldn’t help but comnt.
After his comntary, he reached for a bag of crisps, crushed it, opened it, and poured in the seasoning packet, shaking it afterward.
After the FMVP’s speech, the championship award ceremony was over, but the live broadcast hadn’t ended yet.
At this ti, the Grizzlies’ championship team mbers had already begun chatting and taking photos with their families.
Durant reopened the lid, looked inside, and picked out the biggest piece to stuff into his mouth.
But just as he shifted his gaze back to the TV, his open mouth just couldn’t bite down.
...
Hansen was still holding the trophy when Swift and Scarlett walked toward him.
Honestly, if this scene were in China, it would be a chaotic scene.
But in the United States, it even seed a bit warm.
Swift ca up and hugged him; she mainly ca over to congratulate him and check on his foot injury.
Then Scarlett linked her arm through his.
This move caught Hansen off guard, as their relationship was more private.
Swift also stood next to him.
At this point, the cara of the reporters, even the live broadcast’s caras, were all focused on Hansen.
Swift and Scarlett smiled and posed for the caras, Hansen tried his best to cooperate.
Or maybe feeling it wasn’t enough, Scarlett finally pulled Hansen’s hand across to her chest side.
...
"Crack!"
Durant fiercely crushed the crisps in his mouth, clenching his teeth as well.
His goddess, Scarlett, had really escalated things!
The things Hansen said during the ga about the hotel being too tiring, he took them as trash talk.
But Scarlett’s actions shattered his last illusions.
Thinking about the bathwater Hansen ntioned, he suddenly felt nauseous.
Because that bathwater was mixed with Hansen’s things!
Damn it, it was just too awful!
The crisps in his mouth didn’t taste good anymore; he turned off the TV right after and went straight to the training gym.
Next season, he was determined to show Hansen his prowess!
...
"I’ll wait for you in the parking lot when you are done," Scarlett whispered into Hansen’s ear once the caras turned away.
Hansen moved his foot, indicating he was injured.
Although he didn’t necessarily need to get it checked right then, tonight’s ga proved that while injury didn’t affect his shooting, it greatly affected his breakthroughs.
"You don’t need to move," Scarlett said in an ambiguous tone.
Hansen...what could he say?
After returning to the locker room from the arena, Hansen and his teammates celebrated again.
Hansen ntioned that once back in mphis, he would take the entire team to a nightclub to have fun.
As for the championship night, everyone had their things to be busy with.
Finally having so free ti, Hansen began checking his phone, which was already full of missed calls and ssages.
He first returned a call to his parents, then started checking ssages one by one.
Barry University alumni, Cavaliers teammates, and even Kobe had sent him congratulatory ssages.
Of course, apart from congratulations, many were inquiring about his injury, like Yao Ming.
Yao Ming, having left the NBA early due to injuries, would be more concerned about these matters than others.
He picked so important ones to reply to.
During this, he saw a special text from Jamison.
"Is there a spot for in mphis?"
He had forgotten, Jamison’s contract with the Wizards was expiring this season.
Jamison seed to be joking, but actually, he might have wanted to cling to a successful team.
That was pretty normal; at 36, Jamison wasn’t exactly on the verge of retirent, but he was at the tail end of his career.
At this stage, for soone like him who had yet to win a championship, only the championship could attract him.
And unlike the Mavericks, the core team of the Grizzlies was still very young, and they had a good chance of defending their title.
Of course, this wasn’t just about clinging to a successful team, since the Lakers and Thunders from the West were still strong competitors.
And next season, it would be the Grizzlies’ turn to face the problems that co with defending a championship.
"I’ll prepare a fishing kit for you in advance."
After sending the ssage and recalling the new fishing gear O’Neal had given him, Tois ca over to invite him to the post-ga press conference. He went to the locker room to grab his fishing kit before heading there with Tois.
The atmosphere at the press conference was sowhat subdued.
The Heat’s press conference had already ended, and with Jas missing, the reporters hadn’t gotten the kind of news material they wanted.
So when Hansen ca in, the whole venue beca lively.
Now all eyes were on Hansen.
As soon as Hansen sat down, a reporter couldn’t wait to ask him a question.
And right off the bat, it was about LeBron.
"According to the latest, LeBron has been diagnosed with a moderate concussion. What do you have to say about that?" asked a reporter from ESPN.
Concussions in the NBA are not uncommon and even a concussion protection chanism was added in the new collective bargaining agreent, first implented this season: a player diagnosed with a concussion must pass a series of tests to confirm they are free from concussion before returning to the court.
Concussions vary in severity from mild, moderate, to severe, with most NBA players experiencing the mild kind.
