Fancy walked into the locker room, and Mike Dunleavy arrived before him.
Dunleavy is a forward who joined Los Angeles in the middle of the season and was replaced by Ron Artest. He and Artest are completely different players. He is a tall shooter. With his height and body, he is even better in other small ball teams.
He can play the 4th position, but in the Lakers, he usually exists at the 3rd position.
When he first came here, he wanted to eat Fan Xi and become another giant in Los Angeles. Later, he soon discovered that Fan Xi was already unstoppable. Coming from a basketball family, he decisively hugged Fan Xi's thigh.
In terms of vision and intelligence, Dunleavy is definitely not as good as Andrew Bynum.
Thanks to Fanshee's style of play throughout the game, Dunleavy has averaged 11.5 points, 4.6 rebounds, 2.1 assists and 2.1 three-pointers per game since the playoffs. He is considered a strong player.
This data makes it a little difficult for him, who is slightly past his prime, to get an annual salary of tens of millions, but if his agent is strong, he still has a good chance.
But Dunleavy is a smart guy.
He deliberately came to the locker room very early and said to Fan Xi: "Jack, I want to stir up more important worries tonight. I will do my best to help you. I know you want to win, and I also want to win.
There is a huge difference in treatment between the champion shooter and the runner-up shooter."
Dunleavy's "ambition and desire" were all written in his eyes, and he knew that there was no use in showing off in front of people like Fan Xi.
Fan Xi admires his honesty, and desire is the driving force for progress.
He said: "If you want to become famous, you must be prepared and take the initiative on the battlefield. I will pass the ball to you, and you must be at the same rhythm as me. I need a shooter who is armed to the teeth."
Dunleavy nodded quickly and said: "I can do anything. I can't guard James. I can guard Chris Bosh. I can pull him out of the paint."
This is what he has thought about for a long time.
Sure enough, his words gave Fan Xi some new inspiration.
Fan Xi frowned and thought in silence.
Dunleavy stopped disturbing Fan Xi and hurried to the court to practice his three-pointers.
The 2002 draft pick, who comes from a basketball family and was baptized by the Duke system in college, is very sober. He is a very smart presence among today's Lakers players.
No heavy hammer is needed to play the drum.
While changing clothes, Fan Xi was thinking about the possibility of letting Dunleavy move to the fourth position. Dunleavy is a big-hearted player with a strong ability to shoot three-pointers. Although he lacks mobility on the defensive end, he has a strong style and is quite tenacious. He has the look of an old white man.
Character.
Maybe this is a way out.
With Fan Xi thinking this, Matt Barnes came to the locker room. Barnes was covered in tattoos and his style was like a gangster.
"Jack, I knew you would arrive before me."
Matt Barnes yelled as soon as he came in: "Those idiots in Miami really think they have a chance to win. What kind of bullshit basketball do they play? A bunch of stars get together and they really think they are invincible. I
What I hate the most are these condescending guys.”
Matt Barnes' status in the NBA can be called a weakling. He is a blue-collar worker who earns low wages all year round. However, on the court, he always faces the opponent's noblest star and uses his tenacity and hard work to block the opponent's most valuable players.
Elite attack.
If you guard against it, people will say that the star has a bad touch. If you don't guard against it, people will worship the star and say that he is indeed a superstar.
Defense is hard work.
Matt Barnes muttered and cursed for a while, and then asked Fan Xi with some lack of confidence: "Jack, tell me, can we really win tonight?"
Fan Xi smiled and said: "Put it aside whether you can win or not, let's have a fucking first and then we'll talk about it."
Hey Hey.
Matt Barnes laughed: "Yes, that's the truth."
Fanxi says different things to different people.
Later, Lamar Odom came over and asked Fanci: "Can we win?"
Fan Xi told him categorically: "We will win! Lamar, what are you thinking about? Don't use your brain normally, just follow me."
Lamar Odom's hesitant expression immediately became firm.
Talk to Matt Barnes to further stimulate his fighting spirit. He is not a results-oriented person. He just wants to be a superstar, so do it with him.
Lamar Odom is an indecisive person. He hesitates. If you let him think, he will definitely do something bad. It's not that you tell him that if you follow me, you will definitely win.
Both of them are easy to solve, but Andrew Bynum is difficult.
Andrew Bynum is a man who does great things but cherishes his own life, and forgets the great righteousness when he sees small gains.
In a head-on confrontation, he doesn't have the guts to fight hard, but if his teammates beat the opponent to a pulp, he not only has the courage to run out to pick up peaches and snatch people's heads, but he also has a lot of courage.
"Jack Phil Jackson said that I am the protagonist of this game and asked me to kill everyone in the paint. What do you think?"
An hour before the game started, Bynum walked up to Fan Xi and spoke to Fan Xi.
Fan Xi thought for a long time and said: "I don't know your situation, but I am going to work hard tonight. You'd better make sure you don't get fouled by James and Wade. They will definitely attack you today."
You came."
"If you shrink your head, it's a knife. If you extend your head, it's a knife. It's better to be careful."
Fan Xi said this to Bynum deliberately.
Bynum was suddenly confused: "Are you coming for me? Shouldn't you be coming for you? Now all the TV stations are using your photos to confront James. You two are the ones who are at odds with each other."
Fan Xi smiled. "Who makes you the most powerful penalty area of the two teams now? Only those who control the basket can control the whole court. If they don't kill you, who will they kill?"
When Fan Xi said this, he said to him: "By the way, I heard that there will be many Hollywood female stars and female models coming to watch the game tonight..."
At this point, Fan Xi stopped abruptly.
He left Bynum blank space.
The key factor tonight was indeed Andrew Bynum.
And James and Wade will inevitably attack the penalty area to strangle Bynum and put him in foul trouble.
Beating him is a key step for Miami to win.
…
At 7:30 in the evening, Staples Arena was bustling with people. This game attracted more than 20,000 fans to watch the game. Outside Staples Arena, there were thousands of fans who couldn't get in. They
No tickets were purchased.
They either choose to watch the game on the big screen outside or go to a nearby bar to watch the game.
The famous sports channels in the United States are also gathered here. They will send the fifth game of the finals to more than 15 million households in the United States. In addition, it will be broadcast live in more than 60 countries around the world, with hundreds of millions of viewers.
.
Before the game started, tnt entered the stadium and they conducted pre-match interviews with players from both sides.
But Fanci rejected Charles Barkley's invitation in person, not because of any grudge between him and Barkley, but because he felt it was pointless to say anything before the game.
This made Buckley quite unhappy. He felt that by taking the initiative to interview Fan Xi, he was stepping down for him. As a senior practitioner in the industry, Fan Xi should give him this face no matter from which angle. Even if Fan Xi shook hands with him.
And he told him that he didn't like to be interviewed before the game, but he was still dissatisfied.
This was reflected in the pre-match coverage before the game started.
"There is no doubt that Miami is more confident. Whether it is LeBron, Dwyane, or Chris, they all show positive emotions. They are not timid at all. They believe they can bring the game back to Miami.
And lift the championship trophy at the American Airlines Center."
"The so-called Little Duke of Roses, I think he is still a long way from being a real superstar. Although I admit that he is a big-hearted player who becomes more dangerous at critical moments. However, his energy to influence the game is far from
Compared to Wade and James, the Heat will not give him a chance to bring the game to a critical moment tonight."
Charles Barkley's prediction is: The Heat will defeat the Lakers in three quarters.
This coincides with many basketball experts.
Although Fanci scored the winning goal in the last game and expressed his confidence, there have been no scandals in the past two days. Jim Buss even reported that Pau Gasol may return to the game.
However, basketball experts are still not optimistic that the Lakers can survive this hurdle.
The reason is simple. If the Big Three cannot defeat the Lakers in this situation, then they will really lose face.
TNT TV station played an interview with James on the court before the start of the game. He said with determination: "We have no retreat. Tonight is the first game where we blow the counterattack horn!"
Having said this, James gritted his teeth and his eyes were firmer than ever.
Apart from winning, he had no way out. From the moment he joined Miami, only a championship could redeem his 'decision'. But in the summer of 2010, he must have never imagined that an undrafted player would emerge from nowhere and become the first NBA draft pick in the NBA.
In the final, a single horse stood in front of the O'Brien Cup and killed him in a panic.
The lights on the home court quickly dimmed.
The on-site commentator began to introduce the players loudly and quickly.
Every Lakers player who appeared on the stage received loud cheers. At this moment in the finals, every Los Angeles person hoped to create an unprecedented miracle despite being riddled with injuries.
Fanshie is the last player to appear.
When he came on the stage, Staples Arena felt like a nuclear bomb had exploded, and the sound seemed to tear off the entire ceiling.
It can be said that the entire Staples Arena's will is concentrated here, all concentrated on Fanci.
Everyone knows that only Fanxi can save the Lakers, and only Fanxi can bring miracles.
Fan Xi ran to the court amidst the sound of MVP. He high-fived every teammate while chasing the light, and then he ran to the center of the court.
When everyone was confused, he leaned down and patted Lakers' logo.
This action instantly triggered greater energy, and the sound that was originally like an explosion increased by several octaves.
Fanci's action inspired unparalleled cohesion in Staples Arena.
All the Lakers executives in the box were moved by this. Even people like Jeanie Buss, Jerry West, and Magic Johnson who didn't want to work under Jim Buss were deeply moved at this moment.
How great would it be if this guy wasn't from Jim Bass?
At a certain moment, Jenny Buss didn't even want to trade Fanci, even though Jerry West had told him before that Fanci could get Howard of Warcraft.
…
The game starts soon.
Tonight, the Lakers' starting players are: Andrew Bynum, Lamar Odom, Mike Dunleavy, Matt Barnes, and Fanci.
The Miami Heat's starting players are: Chris Bosh, Udonis Haslem, LeBron James, Dwyane Wade, Mike Bibby.
Pau Gasol did not appear on the court, which confirmed that Jim Buss' previous remarks were indeed an act of "obfuscating the public."
The news of Joel Anthony's injury was also released an hour before the game. This is a good thing for the Lakers, because the Lakers already have the advantage in the penalty area, and now this advantage has expanded with Joel Anthony's injury.
Andrew Bynum stands opposite Haslem, and the height difference between the two is very obvious.
Snapped!
Bynum deserves to beat Haslem.
Fanci controlled the ball and advanced forward unhurriedly.
Wade stood in front of him.
When The Flash faced Fan Xi in the past, he always had some "superstar" arrogance. It was only from the last game that he truly regarded Fan Xi as a comparable opponent.
Fan Xi stopped outside the three-point line, and he followed suit.
Then, Mike Dunleavy ran over and provided a screen for Fanci. Fanci broke through Wade's defense. James switched defenses. Fanci galloped all the way. He went straight to the paint area and jumped up in the penalty area.
Just when everyone thought he was going to attack the basket directly, he made an inward pass.
James sneered: It's true.
He waved his hand and went to steal it. He had expected it.
Who knows...what?
moment.
James realized something was wrong.
Fan Xi turned out to be a fake move. He feinted a shot in the air and quickly swung it to the left corner.
At this time, Dunleavy had already rushed over.
When he caught the basketball, there was no defense in front of or behind him, and everyone's attention was on Fan Xi.
Even a three-year-old child knows that the focus of the Lakers' offense in this game is the paint area.
However, Fan Xi did the opposite.
Dunleavy caught the ball from outside the three-point line and shot it in one go.
Whoosh!
The basketball fell into the net.
Three-point hit.
Staples Arena was in a state of excitement.
"Defend!"
Fan Xi shouted and led his team to retreat quickly.
The Heat really stepped up their attacking pace.
And, just as Fan Xi expected.
James went straight to the paint area after receiving the basketball. Kobe was not there... Ron Artest was traded, and the Lakers' defense was not as tight as last season.
James drove straight in and headed straight for Bynum.
Bynum was still a little dazed, but James had already bumped into him. He knocked Bynum away with the strength of a bull, and then hit the basketball into the basket. The referee then blew the whistle and he gave Bynum the ball.
Block fouls.
Bynum raised his hands aggrievedly, but the big screen above his head did show that his steps were swaying with his hesitation, and he did not stand still.
If Kobe was on the court, Bynum would definitely scold him.
Bynum has even gotten used to this.
He looked at Fan Xi hesitantly.
Fan Xi was very calm, neither scolding him nor encouraging him.
This calm attitude made Bynum's emotions boil very much. He has been living in encouragement all along. Kareem Abdul-Jabbar doted on him as if he were his own son, always praising him for his extraordinary talent. The Lakers executives were also very fond of him.
They valued him so much that they wouldn't even replace him with Jason Kidd in his prime. Although Kobe Bryant scolded him, he always had a bit of a hatred for him, and he still valued him in essence.
But now, Fan Xi is just watching things happen calmly.
This caused him great emotional swings.
Then, he subconsciously looked to the sidelines, just as Fan Xi said, there were many Hollywood female stars sitting on the sidelines: He likes to express himself in front of female stars, and he hopes that he can be as beautiful as Fan Xi.
But now, he really doesn't know what to do.
Fan Xi's words before the game repeatedly echoed in his mind. It was a Chinese proverb: Extending your head is also a sword, and shrinking your head is also a sword.
He felt that James would never let him go no matter what.
Whoosh!
James hit the extra penalty.
Fanci asked Odom to pass the ball to him, and then chatted with Odom for a few words.
Bynum watched all this happen, and something surged in his heart.
He returned to the penalty area and reached for the ball.
But in the blocking position with Haslem, Haslem severely blocked his lower plate.
So, I'm struggling hard.
At this time, Fanci was no longer waiting for him to get stuck. Instead, he and Dunleavy played a high pick-and-roll again. Fanci quickly got rid of Wade and entered the paint area. Under James' pursuit, he quickly stopped and Lamar
Odom took advantage of the situation and went up to cover. Fanci stopped and got up quickly and went to the basket. Chris Bosh switched to the defense.
Fan Xi suddenly made a shooting motion, and Chris Bosh quickly reached out to block the shot.
But Fan Xi made a time difference. He hit Bosh when the door was wide open, and threw the basketball into the basket under Bosh's creaking nest... beep!
The referee blew the whistle without hesitation.
Also 21.
Staples Center is buzzing.
Fan Xi's answer-ball always comes so quickly.
If you play my center, I'll play your power forward.
Who can't commit a foul?
Fanci stepped to the free throw line.
Whoosh!
hit.
The Lakers still lead by 3 points.
Miami obviously didn't expect Fanci's unexpected move at the beginning. Pat Riley pondered for a moment on the sidelines. He stood up directly and overrode the command: "Keep pressing!"
The direction of his finger is the restricted area, James Wade's battlefield.
Wade rushed to the penalty area as soon as he arrived in the frontcourt. He didn't give Bynum time to react and directly bumped into him. Bynum was staggered back by the collision, and Wade hit the basketball into the basket.
The referee did not blow the whistle.
Wade roared at Bynum, his hawk-like eyes intimidating the only full-size center on the court.
This was Miami's plan before the game. They would directly defeat Bynum at the beginning. They knew very well what kind of player Bynum was.
Kobe Bryant was extremely anxious on the sidelines. He wanted to rush up and slap Bynum twice. He couldn't understand why such a huge guy had no blood at all. People rushed up and shouted, but he didn't even have the guts to fight back.
None. Do you have the energy to engage in internal fighting?
Fan Xi still didn't talk to Bynum.
He asked Dunleavy to pass the basketball to him.
Then he ran to the frontcourt with the ball. He came outside the three-point line and Wade pressed forward. He tried his best to block the connection between Fanxi and other players. James was also wandering to one side, ready to catch Fanxi's mistakes at any time to complete the defense.
Fight back.
If Kobe was still on the court, they would not dare to target Fanci like this, because Fanci could directly pierce the Heat with just one pass.
Fancy struggled with Wade for several seconds, found a gap, and quickly passed the basketball. Matt Barnes caught the basketball, and he took off and shot... Bang!
Basketball blacksmithing.
Andrew Bynum tried his best to get stuck in the paint, but when he bypassed Haslem and prepared to grab the offensive rebound, James flew from behind and took the rebound out of thin air.
Bynum's resentment is deepening.
At this time, Magic Johnson in the box shook his head and said: "Maybe, I should go down and teach that little guy something. His passing is too ordinary, he should learn some special passing skills, so that
He was able to pass the basketball directly into the paint just now."
"If Odom gets the basketball, he can directly attack the basket and score."
