Since Fanci became famous, Charles Barkley is the person who has been "hurt" the most. In the past, when people saw him, they would affectionately call him "Flying Pig", but now, many people will joke about him as "Guardian of Female Donkeys".
Although some of it is a show effect, who wants to always be associated with the female donkey's butt.
Barkley was once an all-powerful superstar.
When Chris Paul entered the court to warm up, Barkley and Kenny Smith went to interview Paul again.
Barkley deliberately said: "Chris, I have placed a heavy bet on you. If you lose to Jack today, I will be unlucky again."
He then told Paul about his bet with Kenny Smith.
Paul told him decisively: "You will definitely not lose this time. I will definitely let Kenny have a warm relationship with the female donkey."
Chris Paul is very confident, and for him, this is just a casual thing.
If you can't even deal with a rookie, then what qualifications do you have to wear the title of No. 1 point guard on your head?
This time, Paul came to stamp out the flames of the so-called miracle children.
How could he let Kenny Smith win Barkley's bet? If Kenny Smith won, Jack Van would get Barkley's media votes, and Barkley would get 20 more first-place votes for Vanhee, and Vanhee would become the best rookie.
It's a done deal.
Doesn’t this create an even greater miracle?
Paul would never accept this.
…
Phil Jackson announced in the locker room that Kobe Bryant would not play tonight.
The news didn't cause an uproar among the players because it was so normal.
In the past week, the news about Kobe and his wife has been all over the city. Vanessa suspected that Kobe was unfaithful to her again and has submitted a divorce application to the court. She is now in the stage of dividing her property.
Some funny news even pointed out: "The only suspense now is whether the transfer of the Ferrari given to Jack has been completed. If the transfer has not been completed, is Vanessa eligible to recover half of it."
Phil Jackson then announced tonight's tactics. He promoted Fanci to the core of the outfield again, announced that Fanci would be the main player tonight, and also made it clear that Fanci had unlimited firing rights.
This did not cause an uproar among the players.
Fanci has long been the "successor" within the Lakers. When Kobe is away, he has the right to use all of Kobe's privileges.
Andrew Bynum was sitting in the corner of the locker room, wearing a suit. He witnessed the players' acceptance of Fancy, and also witnessed Phil Jackson's preference for Fancy.
His heart was full of jealousy and anger. After he returned to the team, he quickly felt that Fanshi's status had risen.
This poses a real threat to him.
He hates all this happening, he can't wait to return to the game, and he wants to get back what originally belongs to him.
But now, he can't do anything yet.
He could only stare at his shoes with malicious eyes to prevent others from noticing them.
He himself felt like a vicious bug hiding in the sewer.
The originally unknown undrafted player took his original position and shone brightly.
Andrew Bynum has an unbalanced mentality and is somewhat mentally abnormal.
…
When Fan Xi walked out of the locker room, CCTV cameras followed him, and Fan Xi said hello to the camera. In about three days, it will be broadcast on the largest media in the country: "Hello, I'm going to play soon.
.”
Fan Xi had a bright smile on her face.
He ran to the corner of the tunnel.
The DJ at the scene began to introduce the players who will appear tonight one by one, starting with the lowest-ranked substitute player.
The Lakers' entrance was full of ritual.
There were fewer and fewer players in the aisles, and soon only the last five were left, tonight's starters.
Matt Barnes was the first to have his name called.
During a long introduction, he ran onto the court.
And then there's Mike Dunleavy.
Lamar Odom.
Then... there's Pau Gasol.
When Pau Gasol's name was read, Fanci was very surprised.
He originally thought he would be second to last, or third to last.
Because the order of appearance is based on the status of the team.
The last time the Lakers played at home, Fanci was the second player to play among the starting players, just behind Dunleavy. Odom, Gasol, and Kobe were behind him.
Today, for the first time in his career, Fan Xi stood at the last position.
"...Next, let us welcome the miracle son of Los Angeles, the youngest 20 assist record holder in NBA history, the first rookie All-Star MVP in Lakers history, the super point guard from Davidson College...Jake...Fan!!
!!!”
When Fan Xi rushed out of the tunnel, the audience cheered deafeningly from all directions.
The energy seemed to surge up from under the floor.
The noise of more than 20,000 people at Staples Arena made Fanci feel the passion rushing towards him.
Fan Xi's emotions surged wildly.
At a certain moment, there are even signs of direct fluctuations of brain arcs.
The explosion-like noise verified Fanci's popularity in the City of Angels: no rookie, not even Magic Johnson, had ever been so favored.
Fanci is like a huge black hole. From the beginning of his birth, he has been madly absorbing the love of Lakers fans.
As Fanshie builds a phenomenal miracle, fans' trust in him continues to grow.
Last month, Lakers stores sold more Fancy jerseys than Kobe Bryant.
This shows how amazing Fan Xi’s popularity is.
CCTV cameras followed behind, and they were completely stunned.
They have also seen big scenes, but they really didn't expect Fan Xi to be so popular. Fan Xi is simply a rock star.
When Fan Xi raised his hands in the middle of the court, the cheers of the audience turned into a chorus of shouts: Fan! Fan! Fan! Fan! Fan!
This is what a man should do.
The photographers were crazy with emotion.
At the same time, Chris Paul frowned at this extremely popular rookie from across the street.
There was even a ridiculous feeling in his heart: This guy must have stolen my luck. If he had not replaced me as the All-Star starter, if he had not won the All-Star MVP, how could he be as popular as he is today?
He looked at Fan Xi opposite him with hostility.
And Fan Xi just locked on Chris Paul firmly and tenaciously, their eyes intertwined, full of gunpowder.
What Fan Xi was thinking was: Tonight is the most shining moment of my career. Even if God comes, he can't take away my light.
"Jack!! Come on!!"
At this moment, Fan Xi heard a familiar scream coming from her ears.
Fan Xi saw Taylor Swift standing up and waving to her. She was wearing a pink baseball jacket, which was particularly conspicuous.
"Hey, Jack! Look here, look here!"
Not to be outdone, Kendall Jenner stood up and waved to Fanci. She was sitting less than 6 meters away from Taylor Swift. In fact, they were sitting on both sides of the technical stage, looking at each other from a distance.
Kendall wore a bright yellow baseball jacket tonight, which was also very eye-catching.
It was like two flames of different colors shining towards Fan Xi on both sides.
Soon, they attracted the attention of all the fans.
Staples Arena is extremely happy...the fans really want to see the tidbits about their miracle son and the Hollywood teenage stars.
CCTV cameras also captured this scene. They did not know the identities of these two beautiful girls, but simply felt that... Fan Xi's charm was amazing.
They believe that once such a documentary is broadcast in China, it will definitely lead to an explosion in ratings and reputation.
"Huh, enjoy it. When the game is over, none of this will belong to you."
Chris Paul snorted from the other side.
The game starts soon.
The starting lineup sent by the Hornets tonight is Chris Paul, Belinelli, Trevor Ariza, David West, and Emeka Okafor.
The Hornets have been regulars in the playoffs in the past few seasons. Under Paul's leadership, although they have not touched the Western Conference Finals, they are still considered a powerhouse in the Western Conference.
This season, there has been some internal turmoil in the Hornets. Their boss insisted on selling the team. There have also been some adjustments to the internal players. The most important shooter around Paul, Peja Stojakovic, was traded out, although Trevor Ali was added.
But the coordination between Ariza and Paul has not been completed yet.
Therefore, although the Hornets are still in the playoff camp, their overall strength has declined.
However, when the Lakers lack Kobe and Bynum, the media still generally believe that the Hornets have a better chance.
Beep!
The whistle sounded.
Gasol and Okafor jump ball.
Okafor was the second overall pick in 2004, a meritorious player in the Bobcats' team building, and once won the Rookie of the Year award under Howard. However, he has never been an All-Star player. He can steadily average double 10 per game.
It has been like this from my rookie season to now, very stable.
He can be considered a typical example of an elite player.
If his height were 210cm, it might be different.
But... snap!
Gasol, who is tall and has long arms, easily knocked the basketball into Fanci's hands.
When Fanci got the basketball, Chris Paul quickly pressed up.
The TV station's Charles Barkley immediately became excited and shouted: "Look, the NBA's number one point guard is starting to teach Jack Fan how to play."
Paul's defense is very strong.
He put pressure on Fan Xi to the extreme when he came up, trying to use his strong body and sharp tackling to intimidate Fan Xi.
However, Fanshi's control of the ball is very stable.
He is a top street ball player in his own right, coupled with the breakthrough skills and low center of gravity of Isiah Thomas, the famous ball control master in history.
When Chris Paul pressed hard at the midline, Fanci suddenly changed direction and passed him by flying close to the ground.
Fan Xi then quickly rushed to the top of the three-point arc. He took the shot directly without any hesitation.
A decisive group.
Chris Paul chased him, but no one expected it.
He watched helplessly as the basketball drew a perfect arc in the air... Whoa!
Falling into the net.
Staples Arena was filled with excitement.
Cheers spread.
"Jake Van gave Chris Paul a shocking education right off the bat."
Kenny Smith said "swish".
This really choked up Charles Barkley, who was making harsh words just a second ago.
He was very sad as to why such a thing happened. "This was just an accident. Jack Fan's gambling-style shooting will not last long at all."
He smoothed his cheeks for himself and also for Chris Paul.
At this time, Chris Paul arrived in the frontcourt with the ball.
However, Phil Jackson gave instructions at this time. He asked Matt Barnes, the outside defensive expert, to defend.
He didn't want Fanci's physical energy to be used up on the defensive end.
Fanci completed the defense change with him and came to Belinelli's side.
Matt Barnes quickly locked Paul, and his defense was full of resilience. It took Chris Paul a lot of effort to break away from the brown sugar defense.
After he went deep into the penalty area, he passed the basketball to David West. Facing Lamar Odom's defense, West took a mid-range shot...Odom jumped on him like crazy.
This is one of the few images.
It's been a long time since Odom played so actively.
Who made his wife and sister-in-law come to the sidelines to watch the game tonight?
Of course he has to work hard.
boom!
David West shoots the iron.
Fan Xi rushed into the paint area, flew high, and picked off the basketball.
Then, he held the ball and launched a fast break.
Chris Paul quickly let go of Matt Barnes and went to block Fan Xi.
Unexpectedly, Fan Xi took the ball and took two wild steps. Before halftime, he passed the basketball to the frontcourt. Matt Barnes received the basketball, took three steps, and made an easy layup.
Staples Arena is buzzing with Fanci again.
"This long pass plan is very spiritual. I seem to see the shadow of Jason Kidd."
Kenny Smith said to Charles Barkley: "If you don't count rebounds, Fanshie's value has reached 4."
Barkley was hit hard at the start.
He felt so uncomfortable.
The audience in front of the TV was very excited. They liked watching this kind of "program effect" so much.
Barkley gritted his teeth and said: "4 is 4. I don't believe that the league's number one point guard can't suppress Jack Fan. It makes no sense. No matter how miraculous Jack Fan is, there is no way he can do it to Chris Paul."
Barkley's words did have an effect.
After Chris Paul dribbled the ball across half court, he quickly found David West for a pick-and-roll. He drove to the free throw line and hit the basketball with a horseback archery floater.
Very easy.
Looking back, he pressed Fan Xi all over the place.
He's a better defender than Mike Conley.
When he was not obsessed with stealing Fan Xi, but pressed Fan Xi's rhythm, Fan Xi's progress became a little difficult.
Lamar Odom moved to a place one meter outside the three-point line to cover for Fanci, and Fanci broke away from Paul.
Then he passed the ball to Pau Gasol. Gasol used perfect footwork to kill Okafor alone in the paint.
But this goal did not bring any value to Fanshie.
This is Gasol's personal ability.
Chris Paul then completed a pick-and-roll with David West, and he assisted David West to hit a shot.
Fanci passed the basketball to Pau Gasol, who then went to play Okafor alone.
Although Pau Gasol is very efficient.
However, Chris Paul's numbers are rising steadily, while Fanci's numbers are stagnant.
This made Charles Barkley very happy.
He even took out his cell phone and said he wanted to order a fine female donkey from Kenny Smith in Nevada.
