Chapter 118 The third spherical fusion in NBA history
"Is this all you have?"
When Chris Paul came off the court, he made a "very short" gesture to Fanxi. He told Fanxi: "You can't even pass the ball. The Miracle Son is really cheap."
At the end of the first quarter, Chris Paul scored 9 points, 5 assists, 3 rebounds and 1 steal.
Fan Xi's statistics are 6 points, 2 assists, 3 rebounds and 1 block.
According to the bet between Charles Barkley and Kenny Smith, Fanci is seven points behind Chris Paul.
Because, their bet only counts points, assists and steals.
In these three items, Chris Paul originally had the advantage. Fanshie's advantageous rebounds and blocks were not included in the statistics.
Therefore, this is an unreasonable bet in itself.
However, Kenny Smith has great faith in Fan Xi's ability. He always firmly believes that the reason why children of miracles are children of miracles is because they can do things that ordinary people cannot do.
Even if 10,000 people in the world say that Fanci is not as good as Paul and that it is impossible to defeat Paul, Kenny Smith still stands firmly on Fanci's side. Because another meaning of miracle is: defeating the impossible.
Although Taylor Swift is not as superstitious about Fanshie's 'miraculous' abilities as Kenny Smith.
However, when Fan Xi came off the field, she stood up and cheered for Fan Xi loudly: "Jack, come on, you are the best."
Before Fan Xi could speak, Chris Paul on the side said sarcastically: "Miss Taylor, you'd better find another player to pursue. This guy will be thrown into the trash can soon."
"Fuck you Paul. Didn't your mother teach you not to interrupt when others are talking?"
"Your trash talk is worth less than the expiration date cheese on sale at Walmart."
As an idol singer, Taylor Swift no longer cared about her reputation for elegance. She fired fiercely at Paul.
Paul was criticized so mercilessly by Taylor Swift that he took a step forward and wanted to confront Swift.
However, Fan Xi stood directly in front of him and subconsciously used his body to protect Taylor Swift.
The actions of the two people immediately caused an uproar from the audience on the sidelines, and the referee also came over.
Chris Paul is a very good actor.
He immediately realized that if this matter got serious, he would be punished, and he walked away quickly, deliberately wearing a harmless smile on his face.
Chris Paul can be said to be the serious successor of Isiah Thomas. The baby-faced Thomas was called the Smiling Assassin back then. Chris Paul also has a bit of a baby face. His face-changing speed is also ranked first in the NBA.
Ferson's change of direction was even faster.
This dispute was eliminated invisible.
Viewers from a distance even seemed to think that Chris Paul had gone the wrong way and almost collided head-on with Fanci.
"Don't get into arguments with them and watch the game with peace of mind."
Fanci said to Taylor Swift.
Swift felt as if she had eaten honey at this time. Fan Xi's gesture of protecting her behind her fulfilled all her fantasies about men, and she even imagined a romance novel.
"...I...I'm just worried that you will be hurt by that vicious guy."
Taylor Swift whispered.
"Will not."
Fan Xi said softly and then walked to the Lakers bench.
In the first quarter, the Lakers trailed the Hornets by 1 point, 28:29.
Pau Gasol played very well.
In fact, Fan Xi's performance is not without merit. Compared with the previous Lakers point guard, I don't know how many times better. At least he can deliver the basketball to his teammates in a timely manner.
And before him, no one could accomplish this under Paul's crazy pressure.
However, for Fan Xi, this is not enough.
He sat on the bench, thinking about Paul's oppression in his mind.
The real confrontation gave him more insights. Under extreme pressure, his technical control over Isiah Thomas soared rapidly.
If before, he only controlled 80% of Isiah Thomas, now, it has reached 90%.
Because Chris Paul is so much like Isiah Thomas, they may be the two best pure point guards in history.
But tonight, the third one may be born soon.
Real heroes are always tempered in war.
Phil Jackson was holding the tactical board. He wrote in the tactical manual: "Lamar, next you have to go out more and do pick-and-rolls with Jack..."
The original intention of Zen Master's words was to help Fan Xi get rid of Chris Paul's defense and better assume the important role of commander.
However, Fanci refused. He said to Phil Jackson: "Coach, I want to seize this rare opportunity. I want to fight Chris Paul to the end. I feel that I can become stronger from the battle."
Fan Xi was extremely decisive.
Phil Jackson was slightly surprised. A long time ago, Kobe Bryant said this to him, and even longer ago, Michael Jordan said this to him.
Now that Fan Xi was standing in front of him, he felt like there was a rift in time and space.
"Hmph...who do you think you are? Don't drag the team down."
There were vitriolic comments from behind the bench.
It's Andrew Bynum, who remains hostile to Fanci.
He was not convinced why Fan Xi had risen so quickly.
He hated the camera next to him even more. A Chinese photographer was filming a documentary for Fan Xi.
He wanted to deliberately create some embarrassment. He wanted to make Fan Xi feel sad because he firmly believed that Fan Xi could not defeat Chris Paul and could not escape from Chris Paul's defense.
Moreover, he was determined that Fan Xi would not dare to resist him in front of the cameras of the motherland.
He felt that the timing he found was excellent.
However, he underestimated Fan Xi. Fan Xi was a person who did not rub sand in his eyes.
He told Andrew Bynum: "I'm Jake Fan, the starting point guard of the Los Angeles Lakers, the engine of the backcourt. I'm just going to make the team move faster and harder, I'm not going to be a liability. You can sit there
Take a good look there."
Fan Xi looked arrogant.
He is like an upright heroic man.
And Andrew Bynum, who was hiding his head but showing his tail, looked like a little thief hiding in the dark.
In terms of pattern, Bynum lost another round.
Lakers personnel all had a feeling at this time that the two successors were really at different levels of emotional intelligence.
Old Winter, who was partial to Fan Xi, even felt at this time, "It's really embarrassing for Jack Fan to be on the same level as a villain like you, Bynum."
Phil Jackson agreed to Fanci's request and he would no longer arrange pick-and-rolls for Fanci.
He believes in Fan Xi's ability.
Beep!
The whistle sounded and the second quarter continued.
Chris Paul holds the ball and approaches the frontcourt. This time, Fanci adopts a new defensive method. Fanci takes a step forward and no longer uses the entanglement method.
Chris Paul still followed the previous strategy to attack the penalty area, but Fanshie followed him closely, and he was unable to quickly break through the defensive circle.
Then, he stopped suddenly and took a jump shot, but when he jumped to the highest point, Fan Xi flew up.
Fan Xi is a tall point guard. He has an astonishing wingspan of 2.13 meters and a super jumping talent obtained from Jordan, which instantly blocks the sky and the sun.
Paul was worried about being blocked, and Fan Xi had to press his wrist before shooting to let the basketball shoot out in a higher arc.
boom!
Unsurprisingly, blacksmithing.
Pau Gasol got the rebound.
He passed it to Fan Xi.
Fan Xi received the basketball and started a quick offensive.
Chris Paul is in hot pursuit.
When he was on the center line, he suddenly moved forward to ambush, and Belinelli was ambushing beside him.
The two of them took advantage of Fan Xi's weakness.
Who knows, when they attack from a flank and think they have a chance to win... Bang!
Fan Xi suddenly leaned down and dribbled the ball, lowering his center of gravity to the extreme... Phew!
The basketball was like a sharp scimitar cutting through the defense line, and Fan Xi's body suddenly jumped out.
At this time, Fanshie organically combined the breakthrough skills of Isiah Thomas with the speed of Iverson and the explosive power of Shawn Kemp, achieving at least 80% of the effect.
with no doubt.
Belinelli and Chris Paul were completely beaten.
The spectators on the sidelines feasted their eyes on each other and were dumbfounded in surprise... This feeling was like the overtaking scene in The Fast and the Furious. A supercar suddenly drifted sideways under the attack of two police cars... and caused the two police cars to collide with each other.
Together.
Neither Chris Paul nor Belinelli could control their center of gravity. They were crowded together and looked embarrassed.
Fan Xi, however, had already crossed the Ten Thousand Mountains in his boat, and reached Hu Ding at the three-point line with fierce steps. He jumped decisively and took action... Whoa!
Arrested immediately.
Fan Xi scored the 9th point of the game.
Staples Arena was in a state of excitement.
Fan Xi raised her eyebrows proudly to the audience on the sidelines.
Immediately, he looked at the shocked Chris Paul.
Paul was not expecting this.
St. Paul has always been known for his intelligence and wisdom. He always thinks that he has no plan. He originally thought that this trap was perfect and Fan Xi would be played by him and applauded.
However, who could have imagined Fan Xi's sudden killing move?
He raised his head, and when he saw the replay screen, he realized with horror: Jack Fan's ball control was so sharp, and he seemed to be from the same school as himself.
"I thought of Isiah Thomas. To be honest, he really looked like Isiah Thomas. The moment he bent down and changed direction. However, he seemed to be faster and more powerful than the Smiling Assassin. His
Very explosive."
Kenny Smith said excitedly on TV.
He even wanted to shake Charles Barkley's shoulder and let Barkley comment on the ball.
Barkley certainly knows Isiah Thomas.
He and Jordan entered the league at the same time, and history says that Jordan was dealt a terrible blow by Isiah Thomas in the early stages of his career.
Charles Barkley was actually dealt with.
At that time, Isiah Thomas led the Pistons bad boy army on a rampage. Barkley was beaten to a pulp. In the end, his boss couldn't stand it anymore and said that if Barkley couldn't stand it, he wanted to beat Pistons center Laimbeer.
Buckley pays fine.
So, how could Barkley not remember Isiah Thomas' moves.
He originally thought that the only pure point guard in today's league who could compete with Isiah Thomas in terms of ball skills was Chris Paul.
Although Fan Xi has shown this trait before, there were only some shadows of it.
However, that moment just now, he really saw the charm.
As Fan Xi hit a 3-pointer.
Staples Center was filled with cheers.
There was some pessimism in Charles Barkley's heart: Could it be that today is another day ruled by the Son of Miracle?
John Wall and Blake Griffin in front of the TV were also praying to God: Please, Barkley, please stop talking. Chris, please cheer up.
For two men aiming to compete for Rookie of the Year, Barkley and Kenny Smith's bet is a sure bet.
Why do you two make a bet? It's us who suffer.
How many media tickets are there in total?
If Barkley votes for Vanhee and gets 20 first-place votes for Vanhee, then it will be very difficult to say who will be the Rookie of the Year this year.
"Jack's ability to withstand stress is very strong."
Phil Jackson said to old Winter.
In fact, he was speaking to the cameras behind him.
When he learned that CCTV cameras were filming Fan Xi's documentary from behind, he couldn't help but conduct some "deliberate publicity" for Fan Xi.
This is the way he loves Fanxi.
This is something other players have never enjoyed.
His preference for Fanci made Bynum jealous and out of control. He even began to pray that Chris Paul would beat Fanci tonight.
Whoosh!
Chris Paul drove into the penalty area and completed a floater.
Paul's "horseback archery" is unique in the league and has the style of Isiah Thomas.
Short point guards are basically good at this trick, including Allen Iverson, Stephon Marbury, Tim Hardaway, and Isiah Thomas.
Paul scored 2 points and Charles Barkley breathed a sigh of relief.
John Wall and Blake Griffin in front of the TV also breathed a sigh of relief.
However, it was brought up again soon.
Fan Xi held the ball for half the game, and it was no longer so difficult for him.
Chris Paul's pressure can no longer make Fanshie 'difficult'. Fanshie's own ball control ability is very good, coupled with his 90% integration of Isiah Thomas' breakthrough skills and low center of gravity.
Paul was in a vast space, and the oppression against him became unrealistic.
Fanshie arrived in the frontcourt. Instead of forcing a breakthrough, he passed the basketball to Mike Dunleavy in the corner.
Dunleavy takes off easily... Whoops!
Three-point hit.
Fan Xi also received 1 assist.
The Lakers took the lead.
The game became a back-and-forth affair, and Fanci played an increasingly important role in the team.
However, Chris Paul carries a heavier weight in the Hornets, and the 'points' he scores are slowly but steadily increasing.
If the existence of the gambling game is not considered, Fan Xi's performance is already good.
After all, as a fledgling, he faced the league's number one point guard.
Fanshi also enjoys the process of quickly integrating Isiah Thomas' skills.
But at this time, a small episode occurred.
With 1 minute and 11 seconds left before the intermission, Fanshie dribbled the ball across half court and just past the midline, Chris Paul led Carl Landry to press up and set up an ambush.
At that time, Fan Xi had already passed Landry, but was pushed by Paul in a hidden way.
Fan Xi instantly lost her center of gravity, fell to the ground, and slid towards Kendall Jenner...
