How happy Phil Jackson was, how frustrated McMillan was. When he had no choice but to ask for a timeout and watched the players walk back to the bench one by one, he came to Andre Miller.
With the last glimmer of hope, he asked Miller: "Andre, is this guy really that strong?"
Andre Miller is an emotionally stable person, but now he is like an eggplant beaten by frost. He has no choice but to say: "Yes, I really can't beat him. Our previous plan will come to nothing."
It takes courage to admit your failure.
But Andre Miller has no other way out than doing this.
Because he is a mature person, he knows that the playoffs are not the time to be flattering.
If he continues to fight Fan Xi like this, the result will be that he will be killed, and the humiliation will be even greater by then. He no longer has the spirit of "fighting against all odds" like young people.
Lying down became his choice.
He was powerless to stop the 'Miracle Child' from shining brightly.
well!
McMillan sighed helplessly when he heard the answer.
He had already deeply understood that it was a fact that he had been slapped in the face. Fan Xi had already slashed him hard on the neck, leaving deep marks.
He subconsciously touched his neck, and then said to the players: "Next, attack the Lakers' fifth position with all your strength."
He knows it's impossible to get any bargains at No. 1.
Beep!
The whistle blows and the game continues.
The Lakers replaced Bynum, Fanci, Kobe, Dunleavy, Odom, and Gasol to appear together.
At this time, the home momentum at Staples Arena reached an unprecedented level.
When Andre Miller dribbled the ball past half-court, Fanci pressed forward directly. He was like a tiger descending a mountain to expel Andre Miller. Miller no longer had the arrogance he had before, and he had to lower his head to avoid it.
"It's like a turtle with its head reduced."
Kenny Smith mocked him mercilessly on TV.
The fans in the arena were extremely happy when they saw this scene. Andre Miller's arrogant attitude brought out Fanci's toughness.
The shrinking Miller passed the basketball to Brandon Roy. Roy faced Kobe alone. His singles became difficult and passed to Aldridge. Aldridge's hasty shot failed to score.
The rebound was protected by Gasol and passed to Fanci. Fanci ran wildly with the ball. Andre Miller didn't pay attention. Fanci passed the ball. Kobe Bryant dribbled the ball into the penalty area and attracted a double attack.
Passed to the left corner of the three-point line... Fan Xi appeared there without anyone noticing, and Andre Miller couldn't keep up with him... Whoops!
Arrested immediately.
A nice three-pointer.
The Lakers' offense is like mercury pouring out of the ground.
The fans cheered loudly.
Bynum, who was sitting on the bench, had a face full of jealousy, but bitterness quietly occupied the bottom of his heart. He tasted what it meant to say, "The situation is over."
He originally wanted to frame Fan Xi and let Fan Xi suffer a reputation crisis, but he didn't expect Fan Xi to be so upright, and neither of the two charming female stars took over him.
What he didn't even expect was that Fanshie actually exploded in this game. He even knocked away Andre Miller, the representative of the powerful point guard.
He allowed the Lakers' No. 1 position to make a leap from "standing up" to "getting stronger".
Originally, the Trail Blazers wanted to suppress the Lakers, but now, Portland has no power to fight back.
Their so-called youth army is simply not on the same level as the defending champions.
Fanshie's explosion made the Lakers' offense unimaginably smooth. Whether it was a triangle offense or a fierce run and gun after defensive counterattack, the Lakers made fun of the Blazers' defense to applause.
This is a kind of crushing.
The game lost suspense before it entered the fourth quarter.
From tactics to players to style of play, the Blazers were at a disadvantage.
"They are not fighting on the same level."
Kenny Smith said on TV.
132:108.
In the end, the Lakers won a 24-point victory.
After this game, no one thought Portland had a chance of winning.
Fanshie scored 28 points, 11 assists, 10 rebounds, 3 steals and 3 blocks in this game. He broke the record of the youngest and fastest triple-double set by a rookie player in the playoffs.
Of course, this is not the most important thing.
The important thing is that he completely stepped on the soles of Andre Miller, an elite player, and scraped the mud off his head.
What was most discussed after the game was the exchange of insults between Fancy and Nate McMillan.
There is no doubt that Nate McMillan became the Joker.
When he was interviewed after the game, he gave a poor explanation: "I just felt a little itchy on my neck at the time."
However, the Los Angeles media did not let him go and told him: "Normal people would not tickle like this."
When Fanci was asked after the game why he did this, he obviously borrowed McMillan's answer: "If he has an itchy neck, then I can only have an itchy neck. My answer changes with him."
Fan Xi's seriousness made the reporters laugh.
The reporter then asked him what he thought of Andre Miller's harsh words before the game. "This is a thing of the past to me. I have nothing to say. I wish him good luck."
Then, another reporter asked about what happened last night and why he didn't have anything to do with the two rumored scandal partners.
Fan Xi said with some guilt: "I just want to play basketball quietly, don't ask me these questions."
However, this is regarded as a sign of ‘dedication’.
There are not many good players with both academic and academic talents like Jack Fan.
The league also gave Fanci a good reputation after the game. Not only did he have two shots of Fanci on the top five goals, but they also gave Fanci a special report on the official website after the game, describing Fanci's "miracle journey" this season.
.
Lu Yuan was very happy to tell Fan Xi what he had learned after this game. He believed that Fan Xi's commercial value had surpassed that of Yao Huang at his peak.
Fan Xi only cares about basketball now.
After defeating the Trail Blazers at home, the Lakers will next go to the Portland Rose Garden Arena to play two games against the Trail Blazers on the road.
As we all know, away games and home games are two completely different environments, especially in the playoffs.
For new players like Fan Xi, psychological adjustment and adaptation are needed.
In addition to caring about the next Lakers game, Fan Xi also paid attention to other teams.
The Spurs actually lost their second home game. They tied with the eighth-place Grizzlies in the Western Conference 1:1, which was surprising.
Fan Xi was not surprised. He was very optimistic about the Grizzlies. He felt that the Grizzlies were a very strong team and had a chance to defeat them.
In addition, the two top half teams, the Mavericks and Thunder, both had two home wins.
From this point of view, the strength of the upper half of the Western Region is also clearly divided.
According to this trend, if the Lakers defeat the Trail Blazers, their next opponent will be the Dallas Mavericks.
A team with terrifying combat effectiveness and an extremely comprehensive lineup.
