Chapter 150: He’s The Monkey King.
"Beautiful! That was a perfect shot!"
Far across the ocean, Zhang Weiping at the commentary desk for CCTV-5 shouted with excitement.
Despite the Basketball Association's efforts to block Han Sen from media coverage, once the Grizzlies made it to the Western Conference Finals, the blackout lost its effect.
When the playoffs reach the Conference Finals, broadcasting is mandatory.
Han Sen's Game 1 performance had already changed many people's opinions. While his haters didn't grow much, his fanbase was exploding.
Especially with Yao Ming nearing retirement, it was hard for the Grizzlies not to become the home team for Chinese fans.
So even a commentator with strong biases like Zhang Weiping was gaining favor again.
After all, Zhang Weiping was the same guy who was left stunned for a whole year after Han Sen declared at the draft, "The Cavaliers need me too much."
His bias wasn't exactly subtle.
During this bench rotation, Han Sen and Marc Gasol's performance not only helped the Grizzlies retake the lead but also gave them an advantage.
By the time the starters returned, the Grizzlies were up 30-26.
