Many people say that a great scorer does not need a great point guard to help him.
But this is not actually the case. Kobe Bryant was definitely at the peak of his personal strength from 2004 to 2007, and most of his scoring records were broken at that time.
The Lakers' record is terrible.
It wasn't until the Lakers traded for Spanish power forward Pau Gasol in a robbery-style deal that the Lakers were on the road to winning the championship.
Pau Gasol's personal strength can only be called excellent among NBA interior players, but cannot be ranked among the top.
When he was with the Grizzlies, his style of play was also known as "weak". However, he had a strong ability to cope with the situation and his ball-handling skills were also very good. He could help Kobe Bryant link up with other teammates, which made Kobe Bryant The unique personal attack firepower is released to the extreme.
This season, they are all one year older, and each team member has slacked off, so their record and strength are far inferior to before.
Therefore, the Lakers management and coaching staff, as well as Kobe, realized that they needed new blood to join.
However, it is almost impossible to succeed in the trading market.
At this time, Fan Xi appeared.
Like a comet streaking across the dark night.
Fan Xi's figure flashed in just now, which made Phil Jackson recall a long time. He clearly saw the shadow of Allen Iverson.
However, Iverson is not only fast in a straight line, he also changes direction faster.
Allen Iverson is the shortest No. 1 pick in NBA history, and he was the No. 1 pick of the 1996 golden generation. He is as strong as Kobe, Nash, Camby, Ray Allen, Marbury, Peja... and other star players who were not as good as him back then. .
In fact, before 2004, Kobe Bryant's personal strength was slightly lower than Iverson. That year, Iverson single-handedly led the Philadelphia 76ers and successively killed superstars such as Ray Allen and Vince Carter. He reached the finals alone and stole a victory at the home court of the Lakers under the dominance of the powerful OK combination. He relied on his ghostly skills and lightning speed.
It is already commendable that Fanci can be compared with Iverson in terms of straight-line speed.
Phil Jackson took great interest in him.
At the same time, Fan Xi was also closely following Derrick Rose.
When Rose accelerated towards the court, Fan Xi was always following him. His speed was not slower than Rose at all, and was even slightly faster than Rose.
This scene was something that neither Shannon Brown nor Derek Fisher had done before.
Derrick Rose was surprised. He didn't expect that this little-known stranger actually had two brushes.
Steve Blake and Shannon Brown, who were sitting on the Lakers bench, exchanged glances. They were shocked. They didn't expect it.
I didn't expect Fanci to be able to keep up with Derrick Rose's speed.
It turned out that they had determined that Fan Xi would be completely swept away by Rose's speed, which made everyone laugh.
But now... why do you feel that this game is going to become Fan Xi's fame game?
its not right!
Are we going to tie ourselves up in a cocoon?
Our conspiracy will actually achieve the glory of little Jack?
There was panic in their eyes.
boom!
Rose made a mid-range jumper under Fanci's interference.
This was the first Laker to guard Rose... Fanci's sharp speed and rich defensive experience disrupted Rose's offensive rhythm. He chose to make a pull-up jumper when he failed to reach the paint area.
But the basket refused to accept his shot.
The rebound was protected by Pau Gasol and passed to Fanshie.
Fan Xi received the basketball and still advanced steadily with the ball, not being driven by Derrick Rose's rhythm.
This makes Phil Jackson very satisfied.
When Rose defended to the three-point line, Fanci called Pau Gasol to the top of the arc, and Gasol provided Fanci with a solid screen.
Fan Xi quickly cut in.
As he cut, Andrew Bynum trapped Joakim Noah in the low post for the ball.
But it wasn't a very good position and Fanci didn't pass it to him.
Instead, he took advantage of the Bulls' defense to shrink in the future, accelerated past Carlos Boozer in a straight line, and cut directly into the penalty area... Boom!
Fan Xi completed the offense with a simple one-handed dunk.
The whole audience cheered.
Kim Kardashian finally caught what they wanted, they screamed and jumped, and the four sisters sang at the same time: Jack! Jack! Calling you!
The Kardashian sisters are very famous female celebrities.
When they stand neatly on the sidelines to cheer for a player, the effect is very significant and it is a beautiful scenery.
As they and the entire Staples Center cheered, Fanci stole the show.
The two instigators, Steve Blake and Shannon Brown, on the bench looked at each other, the panic in their eyes turning into worry and fear.
Why is little Jack so strong? If he really stays, will we still have a way to survive? Why should we choose such an opponent for him?
The two of them were restless.
At this time, Fan Xi on the court heard a sharp voice: "Why didn't you pass the ball to me just now?"
Fan Xi turned his head, and it was Andrew Bynum who said angrily to him: "Don't always think about being in the limelight. You can easily be fired as a temporary player."
Bynum's eyes were filled with arrogance and displeasure.
He was angry that Fanxi didn't pass the ball to him, and he was also jealous of the Kardashian sisters cheering Fanxi on the sidelines.
In his opinion, all this should originally be his...as long as this guy passes the damn basketball to him.
Fan Xi looked at Bynum's arrogant look and felt unhappy for no reason.
Why do I have to pass the ball to you?
You are obviously not in a reasonable position to take action, so I have a better chance.
Moreover, I asked you to cover for me, but you didn’t come. Do I still have to waste my own offensive opportunities to succeed for you?
Fan Xi was full of anger.
Andrew Bynum just entered the NBA a few years ago and became a big name. Over the years, the Lakers have cared for him and cultivated him with various resources, but his development has always been less than expected, and he has also developed the character of a giant baby.
At this time, Rose ran over with the ball from a long distance.
Fan Xi quickly followed.
He used his speed to interfere with Rose's offensive rhythm.
Rose was very unfamiliar with Fan Xi, and he didn't know how strong Fan Xi was. But Fan Xi was familiar with him and knew that his shooting was not very stable. So sometimes he would deliberately let go of one or two steps to let him shoot. , to prevent him from breaking through.
Rose was playing very uncomfortable, and the extremely fast Fancy ruined his comfortable rhythm.
boom!
He hit the iron for the second time in a row.
Pau Gasol picked up the basketball and passed it to Fan Xi. Seeing that Matt Barnes had already passed down the ball quickly, Fan Xi quickly passed it to Barnes.
Barnes reached the three-point line with the ball and was about to shoot when he found Luol Deng chasing after him regardless.
Bynum was hesitating whether to quickly rush the basketball to the free throw line, but saw Fanci waving at the top of the three-point arc... Fanci was completely open, and Rose was blocked from view by Gasol.
Barnes quickly passed the ball in.
Fan Xi catches the ball and shoots... Wow!
Three-point shot hit.
The Lakers went ahead by 1 point.
Staples Arena instantly erupted.
The DJ at the scene took the lead and shouted: super-fan! super-fan! super-fan!!
The Kardashian sisters were so excited that they even danced on the sidelines.
The home court momentum is completely back.
Fan Xi played less than 2 minutes and led the team to a 7-0 spurt.
Beep!
Bulls head coach Thibodeau had to ask for a timeout, then turned around and yelled at the assistant coaching team: "I want to know all the information about that damn No. 10 player right away, he disrupted our rhythm!!!"
Thibodeau is a paranoid and irritable coach. He is very angry with his coaching team: Why is such a powerful point guard not mentioned at all in our pre-game preparations? This way, we are still talking about routine.
Tournament champion?
When Thibodeau roared and wanted to find out all Fan Xi's information.
Fan Xi had returned to the bench amidst cheers and applause. When passing by the Kardashian sisters, Jenner ran over and gave him a high-five.
"Good job."
Kobe Bryant stood up on the bench. He walked over to Fanci and patted him on the shoulder to encourage him: "You are better than I thought."
Phil Jackson thought so too.
Fan Xi's performance in these two minutes completely touched his heart, and his satisfaction with Fan Xi reached a very high level.
No matter what happens next? He will give advice to the management: This kid must be kept. This kid is the best point guard we have seen in this decade.
Although the Lakers' point guards have been at the bottom of the league for the past ten years.
But at the moment when both the team boss and the head coach were very satisfied with Fanci's performance, and all the fans in the stadium were in high spirits for the current lead.
There was a discordant sound on the bench.
Andrew Bynum actually walked over and said to Fan Xi: "As a defender, don't always think about being in the limelight. You have to pass the basketball to the center. Do you understand? Only those who control the penalty area can control the overall situation."
He was very angry.
Just now, Barnes didn't pass the ball to him, but passed it to Fancy.
Make him have no sense of existence.
He didn't dare to lose his temper with Barnes, a man with a reputation far and wide, but he still had the courage to show off his authority to Fancy, a temporary worker, and he was very bold.
Unexpectedly, Fan Xi did not take advantage of him and walked over to chat with Lamar Odom.
He was about to lose his temper when he saw Kobe Bryant's murderous eyes.
What he said just now was not only bullying Fan Xi, but also meant to offend Kobe. What does it mean, "Guards should not always think about being in the limelight and pass the ball to the center?" What does it mean, "Those who control the penalty area can control the overall situation"?
Regardless of this strange atmosphere, who can we criticize?
Kobe never got used to Bynum's bad habits and told him bluntly: "If you can play, then play. If you can't, just don't play."
When Bynum heard this.
He also felt that his wings were stiff.
He has been 'bullied' by Kobe over the years. Kobe has been telling him off since he entered the NBA at the age of 17. He feels that he has had enough. Now that he has finally gained some status in the world, you are still helping a temporary worker to bully me?
Isn’t it too unreasonable?
At that time, he sat on the bench and said angrily: "I sprained my ankle and my knee hurts. I can't play."
The team doctor didn't see that he was getting angry with Kobe.
When I heard that his ankle was sprained and his knee hurt, I immediately became anxious.
Bynum is the team's famous glass man, and he gets injured at every turn.
He was too afraid that Bynum's old injury would relapse, so he hurriedly went to check Bynum's injury.
Bynum was a stubborn person, so he actually took a pair of scissors and cut off the bandage on his leg. Once the bandage was cut, he would definitely not be able to be beaten tonight.
Putting down the scissors, he said: "If I don't play today, I won't believe you can win. Then you will know what kind of temporary worker he is."
His words were deliberately irritating to Kobe.
The two had an argument.
Kobe can't even dump him.
I ran over and chatted with Fan Xi for a while about the details of defending Rose.
Kobe is one of the few superstars in the league today who can play in both the first team and the first defense at the same time. He has made profound achievements on the defensive end, and the opinions he gave Vanchy are very valuable.
Beep!
The whistle sounded soon.
Because of Bynum's sudden temper, the Lakers had to replace Odom on the court.
As a result, the Lakers' strength in the penalty area will be greatly reduced, and Gasol will have to play his least favorite center position.
When this happens, the happiest people are Steve Blake and Shannon Brown.
Without Andrew Bynum's restraint in the penalty area, I'll see how you jump around!
Little Jack, you really deserve to die this time. You dare to go against Andrew Bynum before you have established your position on the team. Don’t you know that Bynum is the darling of the Lakers? Don’t you know that he has a perverse personality?
?He always puts small shoes on the substitute players. You, a temporary worker, are not afraid that he will use his power to drive you away? Humph!
Steve Blake and Shannon Brown couldn't be more proud.
They believe that even if Fanci performs well and offends Andrew Bynum, there will be no good results.
After the game restarts.
Ross became cautious.
There was an uproar on the Bulls bench just now, because in the database, Fancy was actually an undrafted player.
"What the hell do you call this an underdog?"
Thibodeau was surprised. He even felt that this report was an insult to his IQ: "They also said that his talent is very poor, that he has no shooting ability, but that his single defense level is very good under the NCAA system. But how is it possible that he has very poor talent?
Can you catch up with Derrick? Don’t have the shooting ability to dare to shoot from outside the three-point line so resolutely?”
Crazy!
Not only Thibodeau, but all Bulls players feel that this information is full of errors and omissions.
Because the information is incomplete.
Therefore, Ross was extra cautious.
He completed a screen with Carlos Boozer, broke into the paint, and passed to Luol Deng.
Luol Deng's mid-range jump shot... finally hit.
Break the Bulls' scoring drought.
And less than a second after the Bulls scored.
Barnes passes the basketball to Fancy.
Fan Xi made an astonishing and unexpected move after receiving the basketball.
At that time, the entire Lakers bench was stunned, and Phil Jackson even widened his eyes.
Bynum, who was expecting to see a joke, couldn't believe what was happening in front of him.
The two instigators, Steve Blake and Shannon Brown, looked at each other like two stupid clowns.
