Playing against the Celtics was one thing, even scoring 58 points before exiting the game was about creating buzz.
But after the game against the Thunders, Hansen's understanding of the "One Star and Four Shooters" tactic changed.
In past games, when he had the ball, he would first drive in to distribute, allowing his teammates to find their rhythm, since the success of outside shooting determined the smoothness of this tactic.
But now, he would choose to score himself first, forcing the opponent to double-team earlier or more thoroughly, thus creating better space and opportunities for his teammates.
Because from a shooter's perspective, the biggest difference between excellent and top-tier is the stability of shooting under interference.
Shooters like Klay Thompson, Ray Allen, and Curry have extremely strong long-range shooting abilities despite pressure.
Unfortunately, such teammates are once in a lifetime.
