Chapter 377: Chapter 199 This Boss Doesn’t Look Like a Good Guy_3

Although the ligament tear was irreversible, he had almost recovered to his original condition when Hansen first joined the Grizzlies.

This was a major asset for the Grizzlies in their confrontation with the Heat.

On the Grizzlies’ bench, a bald guy practically catapulted from his seat, then excitedly waved a towel around.

Sacre’s action drew puzzled looks from all his teammates around him, but he didn’t care and kept on waving the towel energetically.

Hansen noticed and pointed towards where Sacre was.

It looked like the Grizzlies’ water cooler was safer than before.

But he quickly shifted his focus back to the court.

He was really curious about how the Thunders would play with two major ball-handlers.

Then, he was disappointed.

Westbrook had been positioned on the weak side, while James was powerfully backing down Guy on the strong side.

This wasn’t the Thunders; it was Oklahoma City Heat!

However, this was somewhat expected, as the management certainly wanted to give tactical prominence to "The King who brought hope and tomorrow to Oklahoma City."

James then executed a turnaround jump shot after backing down Guy.

This was one of his signature offensive moves, but perhaps the awards ceremony affected his mindset—the shot was quite off.

The basketball hit the front of the rim and bounced off, grabbed by Little Gasol.

Hansen had already sprinted out.

His desire to score was strong tonight, having received the championship ring.

Little Gasol passed the ball, and Hansen surged to the front court.

Yet, Afflalo didn’t lose his defensive position, planting himself firmly between Hansen and the basket.

Seeing this, Hansen closed in, then used him as a pivot and spun around for a bank shot layup.

Afflalo had no chance to interfere, and Hansen’s layup easily went in.

The talents boosted by "God’s Afterglow" not only enhanced his ability to perform fadeaways after spinning but also improved his finishing abilities in spinning moves.

Sacre once again transformed into Towel Man, and this time, the teammates of the Grizzlies were no longer so surprised.

Having such a teammate meant no more worries about the team’s morale.

As Hansen backpedaled, he brushed past Westbrook; their eyes briefly met.

Hansen shook his head, his expression clearly showing his disappointment.

"Russell, I had such high hopes for you during training camp!

Yet, how did you end up ditching your passengers like this?"

Perhaps sensing Hansen’s emotions, in the next offensive play for the Thunders, when James continued to post up Guy for the position, Westbrook didn’t pass it!

That was so Westbrook.

More importantly, Westbrook showcased his improved skills—a pick-and-roll with Lopez, then he rocketed to the Grizzlies’ paint before Little Gasol could get back, pulling his body into a bow for a violent dunk.

The play caused a stir in the arena, with Westbrook transforming the anger from Durant’s trade into strength, evolving into a powerhouse over the summer!

The premise for Westbrook and James to compete for leadership was Westbrook’s sufficient strength, which he now certainly possessed.

Now, it seemed the Thunders might really have an interesting game to show.

Hansen didn’t have to wait long for this intrigue.

Two minutes into the game, because James wasn’t getting the ball, he took the initiative to communicate with Westbrook during a dead ball in one play.

James was still very composed, but Westbrook appeared slightly agitated.

"I made the shot when you didn’t, why should the ball always go to you?"

James realized Westbrook wasn’t as easy to talk to as Wade and was about to give up communicating.

It was at that moment Hansen approached and clapped vigorously.

"Come on, Russell, this is your team!" Just clapping wasn’t enough—Hansen got right in James’ face to shout.

This scene unfolded right before the Grizzlies’ bench.

Sacre’s expression was profoundly shocked.

Hansen’s prior speech was ambitiously commanding—it was evident he was that kind of top-tier, quality leader.

But now... this leader didn’t seem like such a good guy!
