The league's No. 1 center, best defensive player, one team in one defense during the season, recognized as the No. 1 player in the penalty area. When a player like this says he wants to join, anyone on any team would be overjoyed to hear this.

But Fan Xileng stayed in place. He looked at Howard, whose expression was exciting and full of expectations. He was very calm, and he didn't feel the slightest bit excited.

Howard is very strong, very strong to the naked eye. His current strength is equivalent to the combined strength of DeAndre Jordan and Griffin.

However, Fan Xi didn't have the urge to play ball with him.

It’s not just because he came over today and greeted me with a smile, or it’s not just that he made a lot of nonsense on TV.

Fanci simply felt that Howard was not ready to become a fighter. He became famous at a young age and was extremely talented. He succeeded easily in Orlando and was loved by many fans.

His career has been going smoothly. He treats basketball as a game. Fan Xi doesn't like playing games with others.

Therefore, from the beginning to the end, Fanshie never thought about becoming teammates with Dwight Howard.

Even if he knows that Howard is extending an olive branch, as long as he catches it, the Lakers will suffer a strong blow, and the Clippers will solve many of the current extremely troublesome problems.

However, Fan Xi didn't answer.

He just raised his eyebrows and said to Howard: "This proposal is too impactful. I need to digest it."

Howard's face was a little stiff with great expectation. He didn't expect that Fan Xi didn't agree immediately.

But he didn't taste Fan Xi's rejection. He thought this was indeed too big news for Fan Xi to digest. He also felt that Fan Xi might not have the power to agree to join him.

"It doesn't matter, I'll let my agent contact your general manager."

"We will meet each other soon and win the championship."

Howard hugged Fanshie warmly, and he seemed to think it was natural for him to put on the Clippers jersey. He believed that no team could refuse his offer of an olive branch.

Therefore, he even has a patronizing mentality, thinking that he is giving the Clippers a chance and repaying Fan Xi's blessing.

From his previous inconsistent words and deeds, his current vaguely arrogant attitude, and some behaviors in the news, Fan Xi has concluded that Howard cannot be a good teammate of his.

He knew that rejecting Howard would be a difficult thing, but he had already made a decision in his heart.

…

The peak of the Orlando Magic was in 2009. Under the leadership of Turkoglu and Howard, they took advantage of the weakness of the Eastern Conference to reach the Finals, but were easily eliminated by the Lakers 4:1.

The Lakers thus began their three consecutive championship dynasty in 2009, 10, and 11.

However, the Magic slowly declined after that season. This season, it has fallen to fifth place in the Eastern Conference. The conflict between Howard and the management and coaching staff has become public. This young and famous genius is full of restlessness, and he can't wait to do something.

career, and believed that it was the system that tied his hands and feet, rather than what made him famous.

The game between the Clippers and Magic arrived as scheduled.

Just as Fan Xi's father taught him since childhood: Don't become a working partner with an unserious person.

Howard is the one who's not serious.

His pre-game shout-out filled the arena with people, his teammates also tried their best to fight for him, TV reporters also came, and TNT broadcast it live across the United States.

However, when he appeared on the court, his face was full of smiles.

He looked very happy.

His happiness is a brilliant happiness.

Snapped!

At that time, Jordan beat him in the jump ball and stared at him fiercely.

The Clippers didn't play tricks with him.

On the first kick of the game, Fanci took the ball to the penalty area. Facing Howard's defense with open arms, he made a beautiful feint like a flower arrangement. Howard, as the best defensive player in the league today, was deceived.

, Fanci used his left hand to throw the basketball over Howard's head.

At that time, Howard's eyes were staring at Fan Xi's right hand, but while Fan Xi was taking steps, the basketball changed hands behind his back.

This is a beautiful and provocative goal.

"Jack taught Howard a lesson at the beginning. The big man who claimed to block Jack's shots couldn't even figure out what Jack was doing when he actually faced Fan Xi. He was like a stupid kid who was at a loss."

"Howard puts too much thought into his mouth that should be kept shut."

Kenny Smith said sarcastically that Howard has quickly become a troublesome player in the past two years.

Of course, Barkley, who was sitting next to him, was still soothing Howard's cheek. He said: "Dwight is just not ready. What's more, this is a trick by Jack Fan. He did not dare to challenge Dwight's defense head-on.

From a defensive point of view, Howard has even succeeded. His teammates did not prevent Jack Fan from entering the penalty area. He did his job as an inside player. You can't expect every ball to be slapped out by him. This is God's doing.

thing."

Kenny raised his eyebrows. He thought this was due to Buckley's past prejudice against Fancy.

When the two were talking, the camera was focused on Howard. TNT tried to let the fans see some gunpowder, but in fact, what they saw was Howard's still bright smile.

He didn't take it seriously.

boom!

Back at halftime, Howard insisted on holding the ball and beating Jordan one-on-one. Jordan held him tightly, and finally Howard threw the basketball out with his stiff floater. Bang! Strike!

Blake Griffin picked off the rebound.

Pass to Fan Xi.

Fan Xi launched a quick offensive.

Magic point guard Duhong tracked Fan Xi. Fan Xi accelerated past him from outside the three-point line, and then passed the ball. Griffin rushed in from the other side. He received the basketball and jumped up in a domineering manner.

, faced Stoudemire's defense and hit the basket hard.

Howard had just arrived in the penalty area in a hurry. When Griffin had become the trend, he knew there was nothing he could do, so he stopped... Boom!

Watch Griffin complete a dunk.

There was an uproar at home in Orlando.

They obviously didn't come to watch the Clippers dunk.

But... Howard can't seem to be blamed for this ball... His running speed is already very fast. He never misses a shot, pursues defense from the backcourt to the frontcourt, and his running speed and distance are already the fastest in the Magic.

.

But...who asked him to say that before the game?

The Clippers are now working together, and every ball wants to hit Howard's head.

Howard still looked cheerful, but this guy seemed heartless.

The game continues.

The Magic finally scored when former dunk king Jason Richardson hit a mid-range jumper.

Now the Magic is a one-star four-shooting system. Chris Duhon, Jason Richardson, Turkoglu and Ryan Anderson all have the ability to shoot from beyond the three-point line. Howard serves as the backbone in this tactic.

The patron saint of interior rebounds and defenders.

He was very dissatisfied with this tactic.

But in fact, this is a tactic that maximizes his talent and ability. With four shooters opening up the space, he can defend to the extreme.

He relied on this tactic to reach the top, but now he has to start his own offense again.

Based on this situation, it is actually an easy job for the Clippers to beat the Magic.

boom!

Change sides and fight again, the Clippers will show their power again.

This time it's Butler.

Fanshi brought four young and aggressive teammates, Butler, Leonard, Griffin, and Jordan, on the field tonight in order to kill Howard's majesty and let him know that what he said was not nonsense. At the same time, he also let

The team members took this opportunity to express their frustrations.

Fanci broke through and reached the free throw line. At that time, Jason Richardson came up to help defend. Unexpectedly, Fanci passed the ball hand-to-hand. Butler turned around and rushed to the paint area. Jordan had a tacit understanding to block Howard.

behind.

Finally, Howard used his experience to squeeze away from DeAndre Jordan. Butler had already soared into the sky and hit the basket hard. Howard, who had squeezed out half of his body, quickly retracted his head.

He has excellent skills in avoiding dunks.

Looking back, the Magic continue to encounter obstacles on the offensive end. The defense of the young guys of the Clippers is too strong. Although Griffin is not good at defense, he is facing Ryan Anderson. What ability does Ryan Anderson have? He used to give Yi

Jianlian plays as a substitute. Although he comes from behind, he still has a presence beyond the three-point line. Using his height advantage, wouldn't it be easy for Griffin to guard him?

Bang! Bang! Bang!

The magic continues to strike.

The Clippers were on a roll, scoring like a frenzy.

Orlando's true character was soon revealed.

Ordinary team.

About the same as the New York Knicks.
