Hansen was also fully focused.
He knows Irving's defense, which has improved above the league average last season, but in the previous rounds, it was clear that facing Little Thomas was basically at a giveaway level.
As Hansen knows, this season is Little Thomas's peak season, ranked among the top five MVP players in "history".
His defense can be ignored, so it's all about his offensive performance, and you can imagine how difficult he is to deal with.
Upon seeing Hansen, Little Thomas reacted like James, directly calling for a pick-and-roll with Horford.
Hansen quickly sidestepped, but still got bumped by Horford.
Horford has a loud nickname among fans, called the "Basketball Blind Identifier".
As the name implies, fans who only look at the stats would think this guy's career peak was merely 18 plus 8, and being an All-Star is overrated.
But those who have watched the games know how influential Horford is in the games.
