Chapter 70 The two champions, the biggest thorn, the first-year leader(1/2)
Fan Xi took the lead and walked in the front.
John Wall, who was following him, looked at Fan Xi with an inexplicable emotion.
He has always looked down on Fan Xi with a condescending attitude, thinking that Fan Xi was just an undrafted rookie, a rookie who became famous by luck, and was not worthy of being compared with him.
But tonight, from the moment Fan Xi walked into this arena, he was quiet and peaceful at the beginning, neither humble nor overbearing when faced with criticism, and calm and calm when faced with isolation... all of which inadvertently changed his attitude.
Just now, when Mike Budenholzer made the final decision to throw him to the bench and not let him play. He had always been passive, but suddenly he seemed to be a different person. When he picked up the tactical board and said that he took full responsibility for the game
At the moment of taking responsibility, John Wall clearly saw a fierce tiger with his striking gesture.
Ask yourself, John Wall thinks he can't do this.
If it were him, he felt that he would counterattack aggressively when the players isolated him. When his teammates did not pass the ball to him, he would take the ball and go it alone. And when the head coach froze him at a critical moment...him
It is very likely that he will walk away and then be exposed in the media the next day to fight for his own power.
However, Fan Xi did not do this.
He bravely challenged authority face to face.
His courage comes from the strong self-confidence in his heart. In fact, this is why he was so peaceful before.
John Wall looked at the back of Fan Xi, No. 30, and he felt that Fan Xi was getting taller and taller.
His posture changed from looking down to looking straight up, and now he's looking up a little bit.
An earth-shaking change took place in his heart. He no longer regarded Fan Xi as a rookie from a humble background, and his arrogance turned into a part of admiration.
Blake Griffin has similar mental activity.
The two proud men could not help but admit that this undrafted man was calmer, braver, tenacious, tougher...all superior to them.
Beep!
The whistle sounded.
Wesley passed the basketball to Fan Xi without any hesitation.
Fan Xi has become the well-deserved backbone and absolute core of this team.
When Phil Jackson saw this scene in front of the TV, he smiled with relief. From the moment he saw Fan Xi pick up the tactical board, he knew that the last superstar he had been waiting for in his career had sprouted.
Throughout his career, he was ridiculed by his peers as... relying on superstars to gain championships. The two three consecutive championships with the Bulls relied on Jordan, the league's number one player at the time. The three consecutive championships with the Lakers relied on the league at the time.
The number one player, Shaquille O'Neal, recently won two consecutive championships with the Lakers thanks to Kobe Bryant, the number one player in the league. Now Kobe Bryant is gradually slipping from his position as the number one player, and people feel that he will no longer be magical.
But God treated him well, and once again discovered a superstar when the Zen Master was about to die.
Phil Jackson proudly brushed his KFC beard and said to himself: People in the world say that I rely on superstars, but they don’t know that I am the only one with the eyes to discover the best players in the league. Only I can make them grow into towering stars.
The big tree provides shade for me and makes my achievements brilliant.
On the court, Brandon Jennings behaved frivolously and came to Fanshie's side.
This second-year player who made a big name in his rookie season, but is now overtaken by Stephen Curry, still has great ambitions, and he intends to become famous again on the head of Fanshi.
He showed his cunning and said to Fan Xi: "I will let you break through because I will block you from behind."
Fan Xi didn't pay attention to his trash talk at all. He quickly completed the attack and quickly changed direction to the left to cut. The fierce speed and explosive power burst out, and Brandon Jennings was passed by half a beat in one step.
He hurriedly pursued, but Fan Xi took a step forward, stopped suddenly, and then changed to the right... Brandon Jennings was like a restrained puppet, and then moved sideways to the right.
Who knew...poof!
He hit Cousins' strong body directly.
Cousins was extremely surprised.
Following Fanci's instructions, he took two breaths and ran from the penalty area to a position one meter from the free throw line. He just arrived... Brandon Jennings hit the door, like a fly caught in a spider's web.
Fan Xi stepped back.
Exit the three-point line.
Take off and take action!
Jennings simply couldn't chase down the defense.
Taj Gibson of the first-year team was also blocked by Cousins... He originally thought that Cousins went up to provide a screen for Fan Xi, so he ambush inside in advance, but he didn't know that Fan Xi's plan was outside the three-point line...
…shua!
The basketball fell into the net.
Staples Center was filled with uncontrollable cheers.
Los Angeles fans gave Fan Xi the greatest respect and support.
Fan! Fan! Fan!
The sound at the scene became louder and louder.
And, then they started shouting in unison: mvp! mvp! mvp!
Fan Xi gently raised her right hand in response.
His movements are extremely graceful.
Chinese fans on the other side of the ocean saw this scene through TV signals and were in a state of excitement. The host of the TV station was so excited that he broke his voice: "Fan Xi is Fan Xi. From all over the world, for thousands of generations, there is only one Fan Xi. He is our Chinese."
Super guard, he meets all our expectations of a point guard, I am proud to have such a player!!!"
Yes, Fan Xi fulfilled the most intense dream of Chinese basketball fans, and finally a true outside superstar appeared.
Moreover, this is his first season.
Charles Barkley was silenced and speechless. His lips opened and closed, unable to speak. Fear and worry kept invading his nerves. He seemed to have returned to that nightmare in 2002, when he was kissed by another Chinese.
Got a donkey.
This time, Kenny will never let him hang a 'Smith' sign around the neck of a jackass. He will definitely stick his butt up himself. He loves Jack Fan too much.
"Jack! It's Jack again! He hit the goal to recover the score. There are now 1 minute and 38 seconds left before the end of the game. The two teams are tied and back to the same starting line. The first-grade team still has a chance. If they win,
Jack will be the MVP without any doubt, even the home fans know it. Listen to those shouts from the heart!!!"
Kenny shouted excitedly when Fanci hit a three-pointer.
At the same time, the second-grade team quickly used the stoppage time to make substitutions.
Just as the first-year team expected, Brandon Jennings was taken off the court and replaced by Fanshie's college friend, whom Fanshie identified as the most terrifying player on the second-year team...Stephen Curry.
When Fan Xi's prediction came true again, the first grade team looked at Fan Xi with unconcealable admiration.
At this point, even McHale, who was sitting on the bench, was shocked. He murmured to himself: Is Jack the legendary one-in-a-million reading game genius? The same as Chris Paul, Jason Kidd, and Magic Johnson?
The names that came out of his mouth were more shocking than the last.
San Antonio's assistant coach, Mike Budenholzer, who had just been stripped of his head coaching qualifications by Fansheed, was sitting next to him in fear. He felt even more frightened. If he forced out such an excellent Lakers point guard, he would not be able to return to San Antonio.
Now he only regrets and prays for the second grade to win. Fan Xi's arrogant fighting spirit is damaged by this.
He had already thought about the line he would use to complain to the media after losing in the first grade. He wanted to destroy this arrogant rookie.
"Defend! Defend!!"
Fan Xi slapped his hands in the frontcourt, and he kept reminding his teammates to move.
At the same time, he has his eyes on Stephen Curry.
The second-year Curry has already embarked on his own path to superstardom, but he has just started, and Fanci still has the opportunity to interfere with him.
Stephen Curry tried to change direction under Fanshi's defense, but Fanshi was keenly caught. Fanshi's current explosive power and speed are better than Curry's, coupled with his already taller body and wider coverage
With his long arms, Curry seemed a little sluggish.
He wandered around the three-point line for several seconds without getting a chance, and immediately passed the basketball to DeRozan quickly and decisively.
Then, start running quickly.
Fan Xi also followed closely in his footsteps, following him like a shadow.
Curry didn't get a chance.
But DeRozan succeeded in beating Wesley at the free throw line. Even though John Wall came over to attack, he still couldn't stop DeRozan from sending the basketball into the basket with a turnaround fadeaway jumper.
This is a very standard classical guard offensive posture, very similar to that of Kobe and Jordan.
The sophomore team led again by 2 points.
Fanshie receives the serve from Griffin.
Then, he made a surprising move.
He passed the basketball to John Wall.
This is the first time he has handed over possession of the ball since taking over from his teammates.
Wall himself was a little surprised.
Fanci said: "You go to play James Harden in isolation, I believe in you, I will roam on the weak side."
John Wall was a little flattered. He didn't expect that when Fan Xi was betting everything on him, he would actually pass the basketball to him and let him challenge... You know, he had been targeting him and despising him so much before.
To be continued...
