After the press conference, Battier gave Hansen a "Batman" hug and whispered thanks in his ear.
In front of the reporters, as many words of praise that could be said, they were nothing compared to a sincere word in person.
"Leave the thanks for later," Hansen smiled and patted Battier on the shoulder after they parted, "like you said, just winning one playoff game is far from enough."
Memphis fans were wildly celebrating their victory post-game, but on social media, Stan was already being hyped up.
He had successfully predicted two series underdogs winning, even earning the nickname "Octopus."
Of course, it was still too early to declare Stan a god, considering a series lasts seven games, and this was just the beginning.
Two days later, the Grizzlies-Thunders series Game 2 resumed.
Brooks showed his ability to adjust in this game, with the Thunders tightening their interior defense, significantly crippling the Grizzlies' inside game.
