Charles Barkley thought Vanchy's goal was just a fluke.
Barkley had played against Anfernee Hardaway. Although he saw that Fanshie's movements were strikingly similar to Hardaway's, he did not want to believe that Fanshie really had this ability.
Because he is the opposite of Fan Xi.
In comparison, Phil Jackson's expression is much more exciting.
Once upon a time, during the two years when Jordan retired, the Orlando Magic were the Chicago Bulls' main rival in the Eastern Conference. Hardaway was really in the spotlight during those two years, making the Bulls' perimeter miserable.
This trick has appeared in Phil Jackson's nightmare for a long time.
He thought of many ways to limit it.
But now, when this signature killing move was used by Fan Xi, the surprise in his heart immediately surged out.
Jack, this treasure boy, really makes people... happy.
Phil Jackson said happily in his heart.
Fanshie's goal made Chris Paul feel like a powerful enemy.
Paul is a very good defender. He is very good at stealing and using his strength to withstand the opponent's kick.
However, his defensive ability is not enough when facing opponents who are tall and change directions quickly. Deron Williams can always bully him, not just because of Deron's weight, but because Deron is taller than him and can change direction at a faster pace.
Sharp, and Deron has a solid mid-range jump shot ability.
Fanshie was locked by Paul before because Fanshie's low center of gravity dribbling was not mastered enough. When it reached 90%, it was difficult for Paul to restrict his dribbling rhythm.
But at that time, Fan Xi's offense was still hindered. Fan Xi did not have a stable ability to hold the ball and make jump shots, and he had few finishing methods to attack the penalty area.
But now.
As little Jenner confesses her love and kisses, as Taylor Swift secretly picks her palms.
Fanshi activated the energy aura and gained Anfernee Hardaway's signature change-of-direction breakthrough jump-step throwing ability.
Fan Xi's penalty area finish immediately had support.
Moreover, this move is simply a natural restraint for a small defender like Paul.
boom!
After Paul and David West screened, he passed the ball to Ariza, who missed a jumper.
The Hornets' lineup has changed a lot this season. After Peja is gone, Paul's assist efficiency has dropped a lot.
Looking back, Fan Xi still singled out Paul.
And this time, he followed suit.
He quickly completed a change of direction from right to left, and then quickly intruded with his body, passing half of Paul. Before Paul could reach out for the ball, he had already jumped into the free throw line, and then made a natural throw.
...shua!
Fan Xi hits again.
Without Tyson Chandler, the Hornets' defensive capabilities in the penalty area are much weaker, and their ability to protect the basket has plummeted.
This gives Fan Xi the best platform to level up.
Anfernee Hardaway's move has very strict requirements on the sharpness of the breakthrough and the stability after the jump.
These two major thresholds prevent many talented defenders from completing it.
Fan Xi happened to meet these two conditions, and it was tailor-made for him.
After all, he has the speed of peak Iverson, the explosive power of peak Kemp, the body control ability of peak Jordan, and the breakthrough skills and low center of gravity of peak Isiah Thomas.
Therefore, Fanshie was able to easily penetrate the defense of top defensive player Chris Paul.
However, what Fan Xi lacks is experience in throwing.
If he encounters strong help defense, his shooting percentage will not be very high.
But wasps don't.
Isn't this the leveling opponent that comes to your door?
It couldn't be better!
Fanci hit two consecutive floaters and Chris Paul was furious.
However, he just didn't have the ability to defend.
He felt helpless.
This kind of helplessness was something he had never expected before the competition.
This helplessness is exactly the same as when he faced Deron Williams.
Deron Williams used his strong body, superior height and complicated and sharp ball-handling rhythm to make Paul unable to do anything.
Now, Fan Xi is about the same. His height, his sharp breakthrough, and his jump-step throwing are accurate.
Fu-ck!
Paul even uttered a curse word and asked the players inside to watch.
Looking back, Paul went on the offensive directly.
Respected as Saint Paul by basketball experts, he was a little over the top. He entered the paint area, but was followed by Fan Xi from behind. As soon as he took off for a layup, Fan Xi flew up from behind...with an amazing bounce...
Snapped!
Paul's layup was directly hit by Fan Xi on the backboard.
Staples Arena was shocked.
St. Paul was ruthlessly suppressed by the Children of Miracles.
City of Angels fans are excited to the extreme.
They watched from the beginning of the game.
The Children of Miracles were crushed by St. Paul from the start.
Then, the Miracle Son gradually gasped under the pressure.
After the second half, the Son of Miracle was like a sharp knife coming out of its sheath, showing its sharp edge. He broke through Sao Paulo twice in a row to complete the attack.
Now, he actually brutally suppressed Sao Paulo on the defensive end.
Offensive and defensive positions have changed!!
The screams and cheers of Lakers fans filled the air from all directions.
"Now, do you know what a miracle child is?"
Kenny Smith leaned back, his tone full of wisdom.
Charles Barkley was really stunned.
It was as if ten thousand thunderbolts were exploding in his head at the same time.
He felt like the world was spinning, and he seemed to have awakened to a certain law: Am I destined to be suppressed by the Son of Miracle? Am I never going to be able to defeat Jack Fan?
This heavy sense of fate made him sadly think of his old rival Michael Jordan.
Michael Jordan entered the league at the same time as him, but he has lived in the shadow of Jordan throughout his career. Even if he chose to join the Rockets with a minimum salary at the end of his career, he failed to win the championship. This has long been the beginning of his entire career.
tragedy.
After finally retiring and finding a job as a commentator, he thought the nightmare was over.
But who would have known that Jack Van would make his debut?
This guy has become a nightmare in his broadcasting career. Every time he bets, he loses. His lips have even become immune to donkey's butt.
This year, he didn't kiss his wife as much as he kissed a donkey's butt.
"No!"
After being dull for a long time, Charles Barkley finally let out a cry from the bottom of his heart. His cry was filled with the tragic feeling of "I can't help but control my fate."
"I believe in St. Paul. St. Paul is the number one point guard in the league. How could he lose to Jack Fan, a rookie?"
"Besides, blocked shots are not counted as gambling data."
Barkley was eloquent.
However, before he finished speaking, Fan Xi on the court completed an assist.
When Fanci passed Paul by half a step, David West immediately came up to defend him like a frightened bird. Fanci quickly passed the ball and Odom received the basketball and completed a jump shot.
Fanshi assists 1.
When Fanshie's offensive ability with the ball improves, his passing threat will naturally increase.
Chuan Tu Tu, this is a mutually reinforcing relationship.
Seeing Fan Xi's numerical value getting closer and closer to his, Paul became anxious.
He continued to attack the paint area. This time he avoided Fanshie's block, but when he passed the ball, he was intercepted by Pau Gasol.
The point guard is a position that requires high-intensity cooperation with teammates.
This season, the Hornets' lineup has become weaker, and Paul's performance has also been weakened.
On the contrary, Fanshie's teammates are far better than the Hornets players.
Therefore, this is why when Fan Xi entered the paint area again, the Hornets did not dare to help defend.
So Fan Xi hit the throw.
Fan Xi made a strange move, but it opened up a whole new world, and he fought hard to keep Paul alive.
Someone once described Deron Williams as "beating Paul while eating and sleeping," which means that every time Deron meets Paul, he can beat Paul very passively.
In fact, this is also the case, Paul dominates the entire league, and Deron dominates Paul.
Nowadays, Deron has left Salt Lake City. Due to the injury, his physical fitness has been greatly reduced, and he is no longer able to make the drastic changes he did back then.
Therefore, Paul lost his ‘natural enemy’.
However, something he didn't expect happened tonight.
He originally came to destroy this so-called miracle child, and he wanted to get rid of the inner demons in his heart.
But... instead of being destroyed, this child of miracles grew rapidly in half the game, and actually grew into a being that was 'specialized in restraining him'.
Inner demons turn into nightmares.
Chris Paul felt the same helplessness he felt facing Deron Williams.
He couldn't accept it.
He wants to resist.
However, natural restraint cannot be resisted by willpower.
Fanci's "value" tied with Paul 2 minutes before the end of the third quarter. Moreover, driven by Fanci, the Lakers played extremely smoothly. By the end of the third quarter, they were already 10 points ahead.
If this trend continues, Paul will not only lose the personal battle with Fan Xi, but the Hornets will also lose the team battle.
As Chris Paul walked back to the bench, he glanced at the stat sheet.
Fan Xi had 23 points, 13 assists, 8 rebounds, 2 steals and 4 blocks.
Chris Paul had 25 points, 9 assists, 5 rebounds and 3 steals.
In this bet, their values are both 38.
However, if placed in a game, Fanci's performance is undoubtedly better than Chris Paul.
So, for Chris Paul, he needs to make a decision at this time.
He was extremely unruly inside.
St. Paul is a proud man, a stubborn victoryist, and has always been proud of his identity as a 'traditional point guard'.
He has never been shy about comparing himself with Derrick Rose and Westbrook, the leaders of the new generation. He feels that he is superior to them.
But.
He now needs to face his inner demons and the person he was two hours ago.
At that time, he was very high-spirited and announced on TV that he would kill the Miracle Child.
This idea has been born since the All-Star Game and is deeply ingrained.
If Fan Xi could not be defeated in this game and his hat of "Miracle Son" could not be taken off, he would have uneasy conscience.
Therefore, St. Paul gritted his teeth and made the decision to "betray himself".
He wants to give up the game.
He wants personal data.
He wants to defeat Fan Xi and deprive Fan Xi of his 'Miracle Son' status.
Helped Barkley beat Kenny Smith in that bet.
Only by doing this can he get rid of his inner demons.
The head coach came over and asked Chris Paul if he needed a rest. Paul shook his head and said, "No, I will fight to the end."
As the team's superstar and only ace, he has reasons to decide his playing time.
On the contrary, Fan Xi did not.
Fan Xi was pushed to the bench by Phil Jackson, forcing Fan Xi to rest.
He didn't want his baby bump to collapse.
So, after the fourth quarter started.
Paul walked onto the court and Fanci stayed on the bench.
Charles Barkley was very silent at this time. He felt that he was destined to lose.
Based on his understanding of Chris Paul, someone as proud as Paul would definitely disdain to brush up personal data and ignore the team's failure. Even if doing so can help him win the game.
However, he underestimated Paul's hatred for Fan Xi.
St. Paul went berserk.
Paul's first goal when he reached the frontcourt with the ball was a jump shot after getting away from Derek Fisher... Whoops!
Chris Paul hits a three-pointer.
He recovered 3 points for the Hornets.
But when he scored, Phil Jackson squinted his eyes slightly.
He was surprised, he didn't expect Paul to do this.
In his heart, Paul has always been a player with a strong view of the overall situation.
But for that ball just now, the Hornets' inside players weren't even fully in position yet.
He is not a player who is very confident in his three-point shooting.
The Zen master was very puzzled.
Charles Barkley roared loudly on the TV. He was excited by Paul's regaining the lead. He shouted: Chris seized the opportunity of Jack Fan's rest and quickly pulled the value up.
This is Buckley's desperate hope.
But it sounds a bit shameless.
Kenny Smith watched Barkley's rogue behavior calmly. He was very sure in his heart. He felt that there was no need to question the Miracle Son, so just let them go.
The Lakers are running quietly.
Mike Dunleavy hit a three-pointer to maintain the lead.
Paul turned around and continued to attack the penalty area, but this time, his throw was inaccurate under Gasol's defense, and the rebound was taken away by Odom.
When the ball is played.
Barkley also understood that Sao Paulo was deliberately chasing numbers.
If it was the former St. Paul, he would definitely not do this. He would definitely complete a beautiful coordination with Landry, and even assist Landry to complete the alley-oop.
But now, he is so impatient and so selfish.
Barkley felt strange as never before.
The game goes on like this.
Paul's shooting percentage was not high, but in the fourth minute of the fourth quarter, he scored 9 points in a single quarter.
He is 9 values ahead of Fanci.
However, the Hornets trailed the Lakers by 13 points, which means that his scoring did not help the team, but instead dragged it down.
"Jack. I feel that Chris Paul is a little abnormal tonight. He cares very much about winning or losing with you. Otherwise...you should rest." Old Winter persuaded Fan Xi.
Fan Xi shook his head with a smile and said: "I also care about winning or losing. I not only have to help the team defeat the Hornets tonight, but also beat him in terms of personal data. I have to make him surrender to save him from doing it again and again in the future.
Another offense."
"A great man over there said something, if you hit with one punch, you won't get hit by hundreds of punches."
"Chris Paul is determined to eat tonight, even God can't hold him back, I said so."
Fan Xi is full of pride.
He is also a majestic and powerful killing god.
For a moment, Phil Jackson and Old Winter were stunned.
