The No.1 Anti-Fans in Basketball-Chapter 387 - 203: Scarlett’s The Late Late Show_2

As you might guess, it’s a late-night show hosted by Fallon.

He used to be a singer and actor and became a talk show host in 2009. Thanks to the show’s approachable theme and his unique style of hosting, the show quickly became popular.

Since he’s a bit overweight, the audience affectionately calls him "Fallon the Fat."

So, whether for promotion or to boost personal influence, many celebrities and artists make appearances on "The Late Late Show."

For instance, Swift was once on the show and delivered the memorable "Living off a Banana" moment.

And recently, to promote her new movie "Hitchcock," Scarlett joined Fallon on the show.

But because Scarlett’s image as "Black Widow" is so iconic, and given that the Avengers was just released this year, it was inevitable that the discussion would turn to Avengers-related topics.

The conversation then touched on Black Widow’s romantic relationships in the films, because in the first Avengers movie, there was a party scene in which Dr. Banner, the human form of Hulk, showed his fondness for Black Widow.

These kinds of variety shows actually don’t have a bottom line.

The double entendre of "Hulk Smash" left Scarlett blushing.

"Who, in real life, do you think is the most impressive man you’ve met?" Fallon asked, seizing the moment.

"A basketball player."

"KD?"

The studio audience laughed when Fallon asked this; the "Bathwater" joke had already gone viral.

"No, no way!" Scarlett reacted strongly, clearly showing no interest in Durant whatsoever.

"Hansen," Scarlett provided her answer.

"Wow, why?" asked Fallon, surprised. Though Scarlett had appeared at the Grizzlies championship night, not many people were aware of it.

"Hulk Smash." Then Scarlett, with her cheeks flushed, responded and pushed the show to its climax.

This episode instantly went viral on social media.

Though some time had passed, audiences still remembered the reason why Swift and Hansen broke up—it was because Swift couldn’t handle Hansen’s vigor.

Unexpectedly, this provided solid evidence from Scarlett.

With endorsements from both a popular singer and a popular actress, Hansen found his influence broadened in a way he never imagined.

Of course, this also brought him a significant number of haters.

Jealousy can make people unrecognizable. Not only were you with Swift, but now with Scarlett too, knocking down everyone else’s goddesses—you’re not leaving any room for the rest to live.

The most explosive of all, though, was Durant.

He was all too familiar with the term "smash," which didn’t just imply knocking, but truly going all out, a visual that was too intense.

The result was that he began playing much more aggressively on the court.

Then there was the mid-December game between the Heat and the Thunders, which offered a second sensational news story for the month.

James returned from a one-month injury break, but his return didn’t make the Thunders better.

In his absence, the Thunders had played impressively, with the players adapting to a game without him.

Upon his return, James obviously needed control of the ball and a tactical status, which affected not just Westbrook.

Simply put, James’s comeback disrupted the team’s chemistry and failed to establish a new chemistry quickly.

So even though James’s stats remained impressive following his return, the Thunders appeared weaker than before.

When facing the Heat Team, the outcome was predictable.

The Heat Team effectively secured victory by halftime.

Then, during the third quarter, conflict erupted on the court.

An irritable James, during an offensive play, encountered Durant’s help defense and elbowed him.

Already upset, Durant and James started trash-talking each other.

"You’ll never win a championship with the Heat!" It was clear James had been extensively taunted, especially by Hansen, and his trash-talking skills had improved.

"I’ll never get swept in the Finals like you," Durant’s trash talk was deadly.

"You just want to drink Hansen’s bathwater!" James’s retort almost escalated the confrontation to physical blows.

Haslem, seeing this, hurriedly stepped in to separate them, as one was his former teammate and the other his current one.

However, being hit where it hurt made an uncontrollable James lash out at Haslem with trash talk:

"Save your useless act, you’re just a role player, you can’t handle anyone!"

This provoked Haslem, who had always been encouraging James, even after he’d left the team, and he had come to mediate now.

"Shut your mouth, I was a champion before you even joined this team!"

This silenced James.

From the 2006 champion Heat Team, only two members were still with the team: one was Wade, and the other was Haslem.

Wade, due to his personality, wouldn’t speak such trash talk to James, whom he had a good private relationship with, but Haslem had no such reservations.

Since the conflict occurred during a dead ball, the sound wasn’t cut and was broadcast live.

This episode gave birth to two viral catchphrases.

The first was the "Haslem Formula": we were champions before you came.

The second was "You want to drink Hansen’s bathwater," which is the bathwater 2.0 version.
