Hansen had prepared to lose his starting spot, but in the back-to-back games against the 76ers, he still appeared in the starting lineup.
Of course, his treatment on the court remained the same; he still didn't have many opportunities to perform.
It seemed James still wanted to protect Coach Brown's position.
After all, where could you find another coach so compliant?
Other coaches were labeled as "run-and-gun masters," "Zen masters," or "tactical wizards," while Brown was dubbed the "nanny coach."
Although he still hadn't received what one might call fairness, the outcome was much better than Hansen had anticipated.
At least by staying on the court, he could still fight for opportunities.
Handling the ball, defending counterattacks, tackling tough opponents... Although these game aspects were challenging, they were not bad for him at this point.
He was, after all, in urgent need of these experiences to enhance his abilities.
