Chapter 21(2/2)
It was as if the CCTV host questioned the Zen master at this time: "I completely don't understand why Phil Jackson would put Steve Blake on the court at this time. If Fan Xi was on the court, maybe he would have done an alley-oop."
.”
The game continues.
John Wall finally came to his senses after Arenas' repeated reminders. He is a very smart player. His physical fitness is top-notch, and he also has good vision and can capture the Lakers' flaws.
He quickly entered the paint. This time he did not force a layup, but passed to McGee after attracting a double attack.
McGee jumped up high, and Artest, who was on defense, didn't dare to stop him.
Because this guy jumped too high.
boom!
His dunks were like a downpour.
The on-site commentator was cheered by him.
John Wall's pass also received praise from the on-site DJ at this moment.
It quite implies that he is setting his sights on the No. 1 scholar.
Fan Xi was sitting on the bench, he was very calm.
No one could see any emotion from his calm expression. Even the commentator on CCTV said that he had a chest full of thunder and a face as smooth as a lake, and he could be called a great general.
What Fan Xi was thinking at this time was...what could he do if he was on the court?
The solution he gave was to... directly dive to steal McGee's ball... This center is not very good at protecting the basketball.
What Steve Blake is doing on the court is trying to keep up with John Wall.
This is a very 'safe' approach. There is no merit, but it looks like a lot of hard work. Even if you are not defensive, you can still express it as 'the ability is not good, but the attitude is good'.
It is difficult for people to catch the "shortcomings" of mediocre people, even though they have no advantages.
John Wall played very eye-catchingly in the first five minutes of the first quarter. He used his amazing speed to thread the needle and beat Steve Blake to the point where he couldn't lift his head.
However, the Lakers relied on Pau Gasol's advantage to maintain a tie.
In the fifth minute, Phil Jackson requested a timeout.
This pause made everyone think that Fan Xi was about to play.
But, still nothing.
Back from the timeout, Shannon Brown appears.
This time, there were even some boos in the away game.
They came to see No. 1 draft pick John Wall beat up Fan Xi, not to see cats and dogs like the Lakers taking turns on the court.
To a certain extent, these boos are an affirmation of Fan Xi.
Also a disdain for Shannon Brown.
Shannon Brown is really angry. He wants to make these away fans who despise him feel uncomfortable. He wants to make them pay the price.
However, the mentality is good.
But the ability is not enough.
When he came on the court, he was directly intercepted by John Wall.
This physically strong point guard couldn't even pass the most basic ball handling.
When Wall rushed into the frontcourt and completed a dunk, the Lakers bench was full of sighs.
Wall also pointed his finger at Fan Xi arrogantly.
This is a provocation.
There were cheers everywhere.
"Why hasn't Phil Jackson replaced Fan Xi on the field? He wants to be a coward and not bring Fan Xi." The CCTV commentator expressed the sentiments of all domestic fans.
But the Zen master remained unmoved.
Shannon Brown played 3 minutes, and when Lamar Odom went to the free throw line, he replaced Derek Fisher.
Three of the four point guards have come up, but Fan Xi hasn't even had his turn yet.
"Are the Lakers suppressing Fan Xi? Are the Lakers not wanting to sign a contract with Fan Xi?" Director Zhang, another CCTV commentator, said worriedly.
"If the Lakers do this, it must be their biggest loss. There are many teams rushing to get Vanhee. The Bulls' Derrick Rose dreams of becoming teammates with Vanhee, and the Knicks' D'Antoni also wants Vanhee to return to running and gunning.
Glory." The host said angrily.
He represents the voice of all domestic fans.
Everyone thinks it's outrageous for Phil Jackson to suppress Fan Xi like this.
On the contrary, when the camera shot Fan Xi, Fan Xi was sitting there calmly. He still had no emotions and was just looking at the court intently.
At this time, Yi Jianlian was replaced and replaced by Bratche.
Blatche is a short forward. Although he is short, he is one of the few post players in the league today who has a full set of post-up skills.
It's not easy in this era of declining insiders.
Fisher is very stable.
Although he couldn't guard John Wall, John Wall didn't hit him. Instead, he passed the ball to Blatche.
Blatche singled out Pau Gasol, and a few feints made Gasol uncomfortable... Gasol doesn't like physical contact.
Blatche completed a beautiful dream dance move and succeeded in a layup with his left hand.
The Wizards are gradually taking the initiative.
Derek Fisher is indeed old. In addition to carrying the ball on the court, he just walks outside the three-point line and waits for opportunities.
Seeing the Wizards gradually taking control of the situation.
Wall's cooperation with McGee and Nick Young is becoming more and more skillful, and Blatche has also opened up his own team in the paint.
Without Kobe Bryant, the most important scorer on the outside, and Andrew Bynum, the most important killer inside, the Lakers are at a disadvantage.
The first quarter ended quickly.
29:35.
The Lakers are already 6 points behind.
At this time, Phil Jackson finally stood up and called Fan Xi's name: "Jack."
He shouted in English and seemed friendly.
This surprised everyone.
Fan Xi walked over with a smile, he understood Jackson's intention.
Chapter completed!
