The No.1 Anti-Fans in Basketball-Chapter 190 - 124: [All Slam Dunk Bundles Except the Battle Axe]_2

Chapter 190: Chapter 124: [All Slam Dunk Bundles Except the Battle Axe]_2

"I tried to develop my shooting, but after losing those abilities, I couldn’t jump high or quickly, and even adjusting my shooting posture was futile."

So, it wasn’t that Allen didn’t want to develop his shooting, he just couldn’t, so he could only push his defense to the extreme.

After the training ended, Hansen returned home and logged into the Anti-Fans System.

Allen’s experience was somewhat similar to his own, both had shone brightly before getting injured.

However, the difference was Allen’s injuries were more severe than his, and without the Anti-Fans System to exchange for "Steel Bones," he had to transition.

Of course, that wasn’t why Hansen opened the Anti-Fans System at this moment.

The reason Allen couldn’t develop a shooting game gave him some insights.

In the previous game against the Spurs, his mid-range shots were nearly flawless, but afterward, his mid-range efficiency clearly began to decline.

His understanding had always been that the "Classical Master" hadn’t reached its limit yet, so his performance was limited.

But on second thought, could there also be a role for talent?

Besides accuracy, being able to jump high is actually very important in shooting.

If Allen had not been injured or had been taller, he might have been able to transition into a 3D player.

The higher the release point, the smaller the interference naturally, and thus one can adjust the shot more comfortably.

Aside from Durant, who is tall enough, Jordan, Kobe, McGrady, these mid-range experts all have exceptional jumping abilities without exception.

So, if he exchanges another talent related to jumping, perhaps when the "Classical Master" hits its limit, could it unleash even greater power?

He began to look at the talents within the system.

He now had over 400,000 Anti-Fans points, nearing 500,000.

That wasn’t enough to exchange for a first-gear talent, but more than enough for a second gear.

Soon, his gaze was drawn to a 300,000 second-gear dunking talent.

"Everything except tomahawk dunks package."

This name is too...

But looking at its description, it seemed very reasonable.

"Enhances jumping ability, hang time, and flexibility."

Why does James like tomahawks so much?

Because his flexibility doesn’t support him performing other more complex dunk maneuvers.

You can’t imagine James performing a 360° spin between-the-legs dunk.

Hansen didn’t hesitate long before choosing to exchange.

It was after this exchange that he first possessed two talents that hadn’t reached their limits.

He would be busy afterward.

...

Hansen was busy with training, but the All-star game discussion didn’t stop.

Actually, the decline in criticism toward him was not only because Swift would perform at the All-Star game but also because someone else was sharing the burden.

That person was Yao Ming.

Yao Ming had played only 5 matches for the Rockets this season before halting due to an injury, averaging 18.2 minutes, 10.2 points, 5.4 rebounds, and 1.6 blocks.

Since his season-ending was not confirmed, the Rockets still listed him on the roster.

As a result, he was directly elected as the starting center for The West.

Especially after his selection, the Rockets announced that Yao Ming would be absent from the 2011 All-Star Game.

It was difficult not to be targeted in such a situation.

Of course, this had nothing to do with the Grizzlies until recently when the League announced the personnel replacement issue for those absent due to injuries in the All-Star game.

Popovich was still recovering in a wheelchair, he definitely couldn’t go, and his position would be taken by Lakers’ head coach Phil Jackson.

And replacing Yao Ming would be Westbrook from the Thunders.

Now, it was difficult to hold back.

Even though Westbrook’s performance this season was good and warranted selection, replacing an injured big man with a guard seemed like blatant prejudice against Randolph, an open dismissiveness.

Although it was not hard to understand, Stern had always been strict with players having a "history."

However, as soon as Hansen found out, he immediately posted on social media to support Randolph.

"Zack explodes opponents in the paint every night, he is an All-Star in my heart, his exclusion is unacceptable."

Then, during the game, he created more opportunities for Randolph, actively supporting his inside partner.

But that was not all.

Because right after he tweeted, Griffin made some comments targeting him.

"How do you feel about Hansen saying that both he and Randolph deserve the All-Star selection more than you?" a reporter asked, clearly setting a trap.

"If he wasn’t Swift’s boyfriend, he wouldn’t even be a starting player, let alone be at the All-Star game," the young Griffin fearlessly stated.

Many might have forgotten, but he and Hansen joined the League the same year and had been criticized by fans during the Summer League because of the "77 comment."

But now, as the No.1 pick, even though Griffin had made it to the All-Star, Hansen completely overshadowed him.

Hansen’s defense of Randolph was just stating the facts, with no intention of targeting Griffin, but now it seemed otherwise.

Hansen wasn’t angry about Griffin’s blunt truth, especially since he was participating in the Rookie Challenge this year in addition to the main All-Star Game.

Here lies a peculiar rule, the NBA defines whether you’re a freshman or sophomore based on your NBA game appearances.

If you didn’t play your rookie season due to injury, you’re still a freshman, you participate in the Freshman Team during the All-Star Game, and you’re also eligible for the Rookie of the Year Award.

This rule naturally stirred huge controversy, as players who hadn’t played any games but were familiar with the team’s tactics, including rehabilitation and training, were still treated as NBA players, which seemed unfair to other rookies.

Of course, fairness was not important here, the important thing was that Hansen represented the sophomores, and Griffin the freshmen; they were teammates in the main All-Star Game but opponents in the Challenge.

Half a month flew by, and February 20th arrived.

The 60th NBA All-Star Game commenced in Los Angeles.

This was the fifth time Los Angeles hosted the All-Star Game, surpassing New York as the city with the most occasions.

It can’t be helped; the busiest city in the United States always makes a profit hosting it.

Indeed, Hansen’s doubts were valid because Griffin’s selection was also linked to the hosting location.

Although the Clippers were third last in the West, they shared a stadium with the Lakers!

Staples Center, a name people associate with the Lakers, but the Clippers played there too, and Griffin was the Clippers’ rising star.

So when Hansen arrived in Los Angeles, he wasn’t exactly welcomed.

Right before the All-Star game started, there was a celebrity game, and when Hansen appeared on the court and was caught on camera, Los Angeles fans booed him enthusiastically.

Most rookies would blow their tops in this situation.

But Hansen just grinned and acted like the booing was too soft, directly "listening" to it.

This definitely pissed off Los Angeles fans.

It was well known that Hansen had always said Kobe wasn’t the best in the League and that the Lakers wouldn’t make the finals, so he was already somewhat unpopular in Los Angeles.

Now he had managed to offend Boston fans and was on his way to doing the same with Los Angeles fans, preparing to become Los Angeles’s "unwanted" resident.

After the celebrity game came the rookie game, both held in the same venue.

These two games were initially just appetizers for the All-Star Game, but with Hansen’s antics, by the time the rookie game was about to start, many new fans had poured into the venue.

Obviously, these fans didn’t just appear in Los Angeles; because the All-Star Game itself was accompanied by an event called "All-Star Festival," held outside Staples Center.

The League officially organized many activities, like shooting, dunking, comparing heights with players on the KT board, and even fan meets before the main game.

So there were already many fans participating in activities outside, and with the buzz here, they all came over.

For such a scene, Hansen couldn’t be happier.

Speaking of which, last year the freshman team beat the sophomore team, ending the sophomores’ seven-year winning streak since 2002.

Was it because that sophomore team was weak?

Obviously not, the rookies of 2008 were strong; there was Rose, Westbrook, and Love.

If it wasn’t because the sophomores were weak, it had to be because the freshmen were strong.

And now, last year’s freshmen had become sophomores.

Hansen greeted his teammates warmly during the warm-up.

Curry, Harden, Derozan, Ibaka, Jrue Holiday, Tai Gibson, Brandon Jennings, Dejuan Blair (Tyreke Evans).

So tell me, who are the scrubs on the opposing team?
