Chapter 134: I’ll Lead You to Victory.
After the press conference ended, Battier gave Han Sen a 'Batman' hug and whispered thanks in his ear.
No matter how many compliments were said in front of the reporters, none could compare to this one in person.
"Save the thanks for later. Like you said, winning just one playoff game isn't nearly enough," Han Sen smiled and patted Battier on the shoulder after they parted.
Memphis fans were celebrating their victory wildly after the game, but on social media, Stan was already being hyped up.
Successfully predicting two playoff upsets even earned him the nickname 'Octopus.' (TL/n: Paul, the octopus, who correctly predicted the 2010 FIFA World Cup.)
Of course, it was still too early to say Stan was a legend, as the series had seven games, and this was only the beginning.
Two days later, the second game of the Grizzlies vs. Thunder series resumed.
Brooks demonstrated his ability to adjust in this game. The Thunder collapsed their defense into the paint, significantly weakening the Grizzlies' inside game.
In contrast, after the success of the first game, Hollins stuck to his strategy, doing everything possible to get the ball to the paint.
As a result, Randolph shot 5-for-16 and only scored 15 points with 9 rebounds, and the Grizzlies lost the game 92-106.
With their inside play struggling, the Grizzlies' transition game also suffered. Harden, who only scored 8 points in the previous game, exploded for 21 in this one.
