Chapter 160 The New Bear King of Memphis_2

As he stepped up to the free throw line, the crowd erupted with cries of "MVP."

James couldn't hold back, and his free throw shot clearly had too much force, bouncing off the frame.

But after shooting, he retreated with a joyful smile on his face.

He personally accounted for the Heat's first 6 points, which made him feel exhilarated.

Seeing this, Hansen called for an isolation play.

The Heat's defense was too fast on the counter-attack for the Grizzlies to keep up with; they could only ensure a successful set offense.

When Conley passed him the ball and the others cleared out, Hansen signaled for Guy to come up for a screen.

Guy blocked Wade out of the way, leaving Hansen up against James.

James was already slow laterally, and after gaining weight, he really did resemble a tank but also a sitting duck.

Earlier, Hansen had exposed this during a help defense play.

But James didn't shy away as he had last season, instead, he was eager to engage.
