After a while, Varejao was helped off the court by his teammates and the team doctor, hopping along.
He had become the first person to have his ankles destroyed by Hansen.
There was a stir at the scene, as Varejao had only played 31 games last season due to a right ankle tendon tear, and it seemed like the situation was bad now, headed toward being injury-prone.
Moreover, his contract with the Cavaliers wouldn't expire until the summer of 2015. James had left, leaving the Cavaliers a big gap.
After the timeout, Tristan Thompson substituted for the injured Varejao.
When Irving took the ball again, Hansen switched to defend him.
"Kyrie, there won't be a third time," Hansen said to Irving.
It was a declaration and also a trap for Irving.
Even at his peak, Irving didn't have the ability to kill the game, and now he was just a rookie.
Irving inevitably chose to fall into the trap.
The crowd began to jeer.
