Chapter 57 High five for the alliance(1/2)

The five starting players put out by the Clippers are DeAndre Jordan, Blake Griffin, Ryan Gomez, Randy Foye, and Baron Davis.

To be fair, this lineup has good talent.

The Lakers' starting lineup is Pau Gasol, Lamar Odom, Mike Dunleavy, Matt Barnes, and Fanci.

Pau Gasol and DeAndre Jordan stood on both sides of the midline. As the referee blew the whistle, the basketball was thrown into the sky to start the game.

Snapped!

Pau Gasol unexpectedly defeated DeAndre Jordan, who is famous for his jumping and height and wingspan.

Give the basketball to Fan Xi.

The Lakers got off to a good start.

As soon as Fan Xi received the basketball, Baron Davis came forward aggressively.

Davis was a very good single defense player when he was young. He won the steals title in the 2006-2007 and 2003-2004 seasons.

When he was young, he was a player with equal emphasis on speed, strength, explosiveness and jumping. Before the rise of James Harden, he was called the first generation of NBA bearded man.

He is 191cm tall but weighs 96kg. For comparison, James Harden is 196cm tall and weighs 100kg at his peak... Harden has been called a heavy guard, and he is even more heavyweight.

Baron Davis's most glorious scene was breaking through the defense into the paint, dunking on the head of defensive master Kirilenko, and defeating the Mavericks in the Black Eight Miracle that year.

However, Davis, who has been seriously injured one after another, no longer has the explosive power and speed of the past, and his jumping is also greatly reduced.

Therefore, when he came forward with great force again, all he relied on was... his strong body.

He intended to form a strong physical crushing posture.

Fan Xi did not give him a chance. Fan Xi, who had the agility of peak Iverson, completed the change of direction with a dexterous dribble under his hips, and then used his body around Baron Davis to exert force... Phew!

Just like Shaolin Kungfu, it spins away gorgeously and sensitively.

Baron Davis is like a swordsman who cuts off the water, and his impact defense becomes ridiculous because of Fanshie's ease.

Kenny Smith said loudly in the commentary box: "This move is like Jackie Chan defeating Hercules in the movie."

Smith's comments were highly recognized by the audience in front of the TV.

Fan Xi passed Davis' defense. Without any hesitation, he stopped directly at the three-point line, took off... and shot!

He ignored Mike Dunleavy's shouts from the corner of the three-point line.

After the perfect arc is completed in the air... Wow!

The basketball fell into the basket obediently and obediently.

Fan Xi raised her hands high.

Clippers fans in the arena booed loudly.

But Fan Xi quickly turned around. He did not endure the overwhelming criticism, but stretched out his right index finger and gently put it to his lips: Shh!

Shut up.

This was Fan Xi's strong response.

Since he was born, Fan Xi has never tolerated anyone who provoked him.

This is Fan Xi's flamboyant personality.

He used practical actions to tell NBA that he is not the second good-tempered Yao Huang, nor is he Yi Jianlian who is silent and allows others to criticize him. He is Fan Xi, and there is no sand in his eyes.

Fan Xi's actions won the praise of Kobe Bryant, which is why he agreed with Fan Xi from the bottom of his heart. He had long believed that Fan Xi was just like him, with a stubbornness and a natural fighting spirit in his bones.

Although tonight is the home court of the Clippers, there is never a shortage of Lakers fans at Staples Arena. In addition to two-thirds of the Clippers fans booing Fanshie, there is also a third of the fans who booed Fanshie.

This "silence" action inspired them, and they let out huge cheers, echoing Fan Xi's action.

The same goes for the fans who care about Fan Xi in front of the TV. They watch Fan Xi walking all the way with unyielding pride.

North American audiences are extremely fond of this strong and domineering character.

Competitive sports are never about treating guests to dinner, and they are never so kind and gentle. People want to see the passion and publicity of men from the court.

Phil Knight in the VIP box couldn't help but nod. He liked Fan Xi's movements very much.

Fan Xi's every move projects the aura of a sports star, his temperament, his appearance, his character, and his background... Nike cannot find a better partner.

Reebok dared to give Yao Huang a contract worth 70 million US dollars, just because of the market behind Yao Huang.

Now, the market value and image blessing that Fan Xi has shown...are all incomparable to the original Yao Huang.

Moreover, "Centers don't sell shoes" is an eternal theorem in the sports field. As strong as O'Neal, he can't drive brand sales. Now he even endorses a Chinese company at a very low price.

Baron Davis was very dissatisfied with Fanshie's actions.

He arrived in the frontcourt with the intention of crushing Fan Xi with a strong body.

This is his advantage.

But Fan Xi did not confront him head-on, let alone accept his physical impact. He always kept about half a step away.

Baron Davis was allowed to drive into the paint, and when Davis attempted a layup, he suddenly got stuck in and formed a double attack with Lamar Odom.

The bearded man was so angry that he quickly knocked Fan Xi away and took a jumper... Bang!

The basketball didn't go in.

However, Fan Xi's ribs were sore from the impact.

Pau Gasol barely protected the rebound.

Then give it to Fan Xi.

Fan Xi didn't care about the pain in his ribs. He launched a quick offensive and used his amazing speed to rush to the frontcourt. Baron Davis was chasing after him. He followed Fan Xi's steps, but he didn't know that he had just followed Fan Xi.

Beside him, Fan Xi suddenly passed the ball inwards.

The basketball was passed to Matt Barnes who cut into the penalty area. Barnes held the ball and made a dunk with his backhand.

At this time, DeAndre Jordan and Blake Griffin had just rushed into the paint.

Under the leadership of Fan Xi, the Lakers played a fast break that was as fast as silver.

Clippers head coach Dunleavy Sr. stood up. He walked to the sidelines and loudly reminded the players to move actively and not let the Lakers take advantage of the situation.

His reminder made the Clippers players be more vigilant.

But it didn't let Baron Davis dissipate his temper, and he became even more angry.

Fan Xi's three-pointer and an assist in the opening game made him lose face. Before the game, he vowed to end Fan Xi's miracle.

Now this trend... is going to become a stepping stone for the 'Fancy Miracle'.

How can Davis hold back?

He rushes to the frontcourt with the ball, still attacking inward... Davis's career shooting percentage has never been high. Even in the peak season of his career in 2006-2007, it was only 43.9%. His offensive choice has always been

Big problem.

Most of the stars of their generation have this problem, such as Allen Iverson, Tracy McGrady and even Kobe Bryant. They always like to challenge high difficulties and separate themselves from the system.

Baron Davis chose a mid-to-long-range jump shot this time that he was not very good at... Bang!

Basketball blacksmithing.

Pau Gasol shot the basketball out, and Fanci quickly ran over and picked off the backboard.

Then, he passed it to Fan Xi.

Just as Fan Xi was about to launch a fast break, he found that the Clippers players had already retreated quickly.

Fan Xi was not in a hurry.

Phil Jackson, who was sitting on the bench, was even more relaxed. He knew that Fanshie was a smart player. This is why he confidently and boldly traded the two point guards Steve Blake and Shannon Brown.

Fanshie came to the frontcourt. He did not tangle with the bearded Davis. He easily completed the pick-and-roll with Gasol, and then faced DeAndre Jordan's defense and reached the free throw line. Jordan never left... He has the ability to defend a center.

Physically, but lacking a bit of experience.

When Fan Xi moved up a little, he jumped up.

And Fan Xi had already secretly passed the basketball to Gasol who was cutting quickly from the other side. Gasol was in no man's land... Jordan, who was flying in the air, had no ability to retreat and could only watch Gasol.

Smash the basketball into the hoop.

Fanci was in control of the situation again.

Phil Knight was asked in the box: "Is this what you call the biggest challenge?"

Phil Knight smiled and shook his head.

He really hoped that the two Clippers players could put some pressure on Fanci, but the reality is... Fanci has been dominating them since the beginning.

Meanwhile, the pitch changes.

When Baron Davis was about to attack again aggressively, Blake Griffin made a gesture to him.

Griffin was the No. 1 pick in 2009, the box-office star of the Clippers, and the cornerstone of the Clippers team. Everyone knows that he will be the next owner of the Clippers. The bearded Davis, who has fallen from the top, is just a temporary caretaker.

That's all.
