"51 Points in Playoffs: Han Surpasses LBJ and KD"
After Game 1, Khalil published a striking article on TNT that generated significant buzz.
Not only did this article earn Han Sen a massive amount of hater points, but his social media was also flooded with criticism, even with Durant joining in.
Fans, including many anonymous accounts—some that Han Sen had never even seen before—came at him en masse, filling his feed with comments, many posted in the middle of the night.
It all started when Han Sen connected with Scarlett. Durant then blocked him entirely and continued to add fuel to the fire whenever their teams faced off, intensifying Han's hater points.
But this was no longer just about Scarlett; it had become a matter of pride.
Imagine you admire a celebrity, unaware if she's dating anyone, and then suddenly you learn that a co-worker has won her over.
It's crushing! Durant, being a sensitive type, took it particularly hard.
Khalil's article mainly targeted LeBron, with whom Han Sen's rivalry had become public, but Durant, with a smaller fanbase, was also mentioned in passing.
The outcome of the article greatly intensified the tension between Han Sen and Durant. If the two were to meet in the playoffs, it would surely be a fierce showdown.
Of course, that's looking ahead, as such a meeting would only be possible in the conference finals.
