Chapter 109: Interrogation.
The substitute team ultimately defeated the starting lineup 18-12.
This wasn't necessarily a reflection of both teams' strengths, but it did give Han Sen's abilities a chance to fully shine.
Randolph was effectively contained, while Gay was even more helpless.
Han Sen's mobility on defense, particularly in help situations, left Hollins extremely impressed.
After shedding weight and improving his core strength, Han Sen's lateral movement speed nearly returned to the level it was before he bulked up.
Of course, some credit goes to Tony Allen, who effectively made the starting team play 4-on-5 on offense, allowing Han Sen to help defensively without hesitation.
On offense, Han Sen also showcased his excellent finishing skills, which he had previously held back to focus on displaying his three-point shooting, leaving a pleasant surprise.
At this point, Hollins was looking at Han Sen much like Larry Brown of the Bobcats once did—seeing him as more and more impressive with each glance.
After training ended, Han Sen returned to the locker room.
Conley came over for a chat, wanting to talk about help defense.
