Guy scratched his head beside them, a little confused about the nature of their relationship.
Kobe wore a stern face and shot Hansen a glare before turning around and walking back to the court.
"Don't worry, I'll cover for you on defense," Guy said, still unclear but resolutely on Hansen's side.
"No need, I can handle it," said Artest, whose three-point shooting was the only skill that hadn't declined, but had actually improved. If Guy left him open, he might explode.
And Hansen took a glance at the Anti-Fans System.
At this point, the system showed he had 1.84 million anti-fans.

After warm-ups ended, both teams' starting lineups were announced.
Lakers: Fisher, Kobe, Artest, Gasol, Binamu
Grizzlies: Conley, Hansen, Guy, Randolph, Little Gasol
Little Gasol won the jump ball against Big Gasol, giving the Grizzlies the first offensive opportunity.
