The No.1 Anti-Fans in Basketball-Chapter 441 - 226 Defeat the Strongest_2

"Let’s Go, Heat!"

Realizing something was amiss, Miami fans began to cheer unanimously.

Amidst the chanting, Durant received the ball without possession and charged towards the basket, causing havoc with his signature wraparound move.

He hit both free throws to stabilize the situation for the Heat.

But when Hansen, backing up against Wade with the ball, the Heat players on the court seemed hesitant.

Just like the previous two games where Hansen couldn’t keep up with Wade, allowing the Heat to execute their most comfortable offensive strategy, now Wade couldn’t contain Hansen, and the Grizzlies’ team basketball could operate just as well.

Moreover, last season had proven that the Hansen-led Grizzlies’ team basketball was the toughest to defend.

It was precisely during the opponent’s hesitation that Hansen made a fake turn against Wade, followed by a fadeaway jumper after confronting him once more.

Wade lunged forward in a desperate attempt to block, but Hansen completely ignored his defense.

"Swish!"

As the ball hit the basket once again, the cheering in the venue came to an abrupt halt.

The adverse situation seemed to have no effect on Hansen.

No, on reflection of the Heavenly King Mountain battles, it seemed to invigorate Hansen’s performance even more.

Looking back at Hansen’s performance throughout this year’s playoffs, he was overly cautious against weaker teams like the Thunders and Warriors, but delivered heavy blows against strong teams like the Spurs and Heat, going completely against expectations.

But fans who had been following Hansen closely wouldn’t be surprised.

Just as he had said during his trip to China, only by defeating the strongest opponents can one prove they have the power to dominate the era.

Wade playing through his injury was a source of motivation for the Heat players, and for Hansen as well.

However, compared to the first half, he made a choice to use more of his energy on offense.

Because defense is always reactive, only through attacking can one seize the initiative.

The defensive enthusiasm of the Grizzlies continued to grow.

After leaving the offense to Hansen, the rest of the team went all out on defense.

Only by scoring and defending effectively was it possible to close the point gap.

The intensity of the on-court confrontation suddenly increased.

At this moment, they could thank James; without him, the two teams could collide head-on.

Conley seized an opportunity and stole the ball from behind Durant.

The Grizzlies launched a fast break, with Hansen and Wade rushing to the frontcourt.

Wade defended fiercely, but Hansen used his Mysterious Steps to break through and slam the ball into the hoop with one hand.

With his veins bulging beneath the camera, Hansen’s force was unstoppable.

The crowd was restless.

The aura that burst forth from Hansen was intimidating to behold.

And his next move was even more unexpected.

Instead of celebrating, he walked over to the fallen Wade and pulled him up.

Then, he turned around and dove back into defense.

At that moment, the fans recalled what Hansen had said after Game 5, Hansen truly wanted Wade to return.

He wanted not just to win, but to win convincingly.

Realizing this, they found Hansen all the more formidable.

In fact, this aura was not only felt by the fans but also by the Heat players on the court.

They started making unforced errors in their offense, with Bosh dribbling the ball off his own foot and out of bounds.

It was evident that the momentum brought by Wade’s return to the Heat was being forcefully suppressed by Hansen.

Hansen broke through a double team and passed the ball to Guy, who effortlessly sank a three-pointer.

to 60.

Right after Guy made his three-pointer, the gap in the score had quickly narrowed to just four points.

Spoelstra called for a timeout.

After the timeout, the Heat responded by substituting Ray Allen for Chalmers to strengthen their offense.

Seeing this, Joerger also called Guy back before going on the court and replaced him with Battier.

The match was on again.

The situation on the court began to reach a deadlock.

And this deadlock lasted until the very end.

After a half-court sprint, the Heat’s stamina was clearly inferior to that of the Grizzlies.

But amid the shouting of the home fans, it was as if they were continuously tapping into new reserves of energy.

This was a collision between the two strongest teams.

With a minute and a half left in the game, Randolph drew a foul from Bosh under the basket, went to the free-throw line, and hit both shots, helping the Grizzlies catch up to 104 to 105.

In the next play, Durant continued to create damage, circling back to the free-throw line where he too hit both of his shots.

Little Gasol’s mid-range jump shot from the free-throw line was off.

Durant took a tough three-point shot over Guy and missed, Bosh grabbed the offensive rebound but Little Gasol blocked his second-chance effort.

Hansen shook off Wade with a step-back three-pointer, tying the game at 107.

Spoelstra called for time, with the last 20 seconds on the clock, Wade held the ball to run down the time before passing to Durant.

With the final 10 seconds, Durant had the chance to end the game.

Durant rushed towards the basket before the double-team could close in, attempting again to use his sweeping move to score, the most reliable way to get points.

But just as he swung the ball up, Conley made his move.

From behind, he reached in and slapped the ball straight out of Durant’s hands!

The referee didn’t blow the whistle; Conley’s steal was as clean as ever.

Both teams had reached the limit on fouls, so the Heat couldn’t foul early.

Conley quickly advanced the ball past half-court, with only the last 5 seconds left in the game.

Hansen had just passed the half-court line when Conley decisively passed the ball to him.

The moment Hansen received the ball, every fan’s heart leaped into their throats.

Wade pressed hard against Hansen, who deceived him with a one-handed pass fake, making Wade look back, and after regathering the ball he changed direction and went past Wade.

His movements were calm, his advance swift.

In that instant, it seemed Hansen had his own gravity, drawing in the other Heat players, including the shaken Wade, towards him.

Before the time ran out, just before the clock expired, Hansen pulled up for a mid-range jumper just a step inside the three-point line.

To the watching crowd, Hansen was shooting amidst four closing defenders.

The basketball flew over Bosh’s fingertips towards the basket.

Bosh’s eyes widened and his arm stretched out, but he just couldn’t reach it.

The ball headed towards the basket, as the arena’s red light illuminated.

"Swish!"

Before the dismayed eyes of the fans, the ball hit nothing but net!

Hansen, on the grand stage of the finals, completed the game-winning shot!

It was his first game-winning shot in a finals career, in the most crucial game!

To be the best, one needed to defeat the best.

"He’s done it! He’s done it! The Memphis Grizzlies have defeated the Miami Heat, they have defended their championship!"

Barkley jumped up excitedly from his commentary seat.

F*ck, he wouldn’t have to drink bathwater now!

Next to him, O’Neal covered his face with his hands.

He now dared not look at Barkley, let alone Smith.

Knowing black people’s body odor was potent enough, he already felt his stomach starting to turn.

On the court, Hansen raised his arms high while the Grizzlies players already began rushing towards him.

to 2.

They had not only beaten the Heat but also with a score that exceeded all external expectations.

All because of Hansen.

Carter didn’t rush over at that moment but knelt on the ground. When Joerger came over to pull him up, he exhaled deeply and made a praying gesture.

He might have been thanking God, or perhaps thanking himself for making the right decision on the trade deadline.

Then, he too walked over to Hansen for a big hug.

"You are the one," Carter said to Hansen in a hug, giving the highest praise.

Hansen had contributed 43 points tonight, back-to-back 40+ in the finals! G6 with a game-winner!

Kenny Smith was right; Hansen is the contemporary Jordan!

At that moment, Jamison also came for a tight embrace with Hansen.

"I can finally rest," expressed a joyful Jamison, who seemed eager to enjoy life.

Joerger, too, came over and hugged Hansen excitedly.

Two years into his career and already back-to-back championships, from an unknown to a legendary coach, he had experienced the exhilarating ride of Phil Jackson-style mentorship!

After embracing with other teammates, Hansen saw West standing outside the crowd, approached him, and the two exchanged a fist bump.

No words were exchanged between the two, but none were needed, a smile was enough.
