Chapter 360: Chapter 193: Champion’s Night

"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 comment.

After his commentary, 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 time, the Grizzlies’ championship team members 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 seemed a bit warm.

Swift came up and hugged him; she mainly came 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 camera of the reporters, even the live broadcast’s cameras, were all focused on Hansen.

Swift and Scarlett smiled and posed for the cameras, 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 game 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 mentioned, 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 cameras turned away.

Hansen moved his foot, indicating he was injured.

Although he didn’t necessarily need to get it checked right then, tonight’s game 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 mentioned that once back in Memphis, 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 some free time, Hansen began checking his phone, which was already full of missed calls and messages.

He first returned a call to his parents, then started checking messages one by one.

Barry University alumni, Cavaliers teammates, and even Kobe had sent him congratulatory messages.

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 some important ones to reply to.

During this, he saw a special text from Jamison.

"Is there a spot for me in Memphis?"

He had forgotten, Jamison’s contract with the Wizards was expiring this season.

Jamison seemed 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 retirement, but he was at the tail end of his career.

At this stage, for someone 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 come with defending a championship.

"I’ll prepare a fishing kit for you in advance."

After sending the message and recalling the new fishing gear O’Neal had given him, Tois came over to invite him to the post-game 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 somewhat subdued.

The Heat’s press conference had already ended, and with James missing, the reporters hadn’t gotten the kind of news material they wanted.

So when Hansen came in, the whole venue became 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 mechanism was added in the new collective bargaining agreement, first implemented 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.
