"Sir, actually you don't have to take care of me like this."
Fan Xi walked to Phil Jackson and spoke to Phil Jackson in a gentle and sincere tone. His expression was full of gratitude.
This puzzled everyone around him. Everyone thought Phil Jackson was deliberately targeting Fanshie...otherwise, why would he replace three point guards in a row before letting him play in the end.
Phil Jackson didn't say much. He was not a head coach who was willing to explain.
He said to Fanci: "Are you confident that you can solve John Wall? I will not arrange for Pau Gasol to play with you."
Gasol doesn't play.
There was some uproar on the bench. After all, Gasol was the one who supported the Lakers in the first quarter today. If Gasol no longer plays, who will be the core of the Lakers? Can Fan support the Lakers?
Everyone feels that Phil Jackson deliberately created problems for Fan Xi.
This is a joke.
Fan Xi accepted it calmly.
Phil Jackson arranged for him to partner with Derek Fisher, Matt Barnes, Luke Walton, and Lamar Odom.
This is a relatively small lineup.
Phil Jackson's tactical requirements are: run and hand the ball to Fan.
This is a lot of freedom.
He asked Fan Xi to use his own talents.
This is a fist-fighting love.
Phil Jackson has good intentions.
Zen Master has done in-depth research on Fan Xi. He knows that Fan Xi is very fast, has the ability to pass, and has shooting skills. This ability is very suitable for playing in a fast pace.
Therefore, he deliberately paired Fan Xi with such a lineup so that Fan Xi could perform well.
Before that, he also asked the other three point guards to pave the way for him, and used their "clumsy" performance against John Wall as a foil for Fanxi. Next, as long as Fanxi performs brilliantly, he will be stable.
It's just that the Zen master has good intentions but doesn't know that Fan Xi is no longer Wu Xia Amon. He is now looking forward to fighting in positional battles because his current explosive power is already at the level of Sean Kemp at his peak.
What is explosive power? Explosive power is an instant explosion within a square inch.
Energy can best be seen in positional warfare where every penny has to be weighed.
And for Fan Xi, he is not doing it to express himself. Although the "study with the prince" lineup arranged by Phil Jackson is to help him, Fan Xi hopes to defeat the Wizards rather than express himself.
Victory is the most important thing.
However, this is also good.
When the sea is flowing, heroes will show their true colors.
Beep!
The whistle blows and the second quarter begins.
When Fan Xi finally stepped onto the court, the audience immediately became noisy. They were finally about to see Fan Xi take the stage.
However, John Wall remained on the bench at this time.
The substitute was Kirk Hinrich.
Kirk Hinrich is the point guard traded this season. He is a player representative of the 2003 generation. His style of play is known for his stability and his defense is relatively tough. Before Derrick Rose entered the league, he had been a member of the Bulls.
The leader of the locker room, he once led a group of elite players such as Ben Gordon, Luol Deng, and Nocchioni to defeat the defending champion Miami Heat in the playoffs.
At that time, his physical fitness and court awareness were at the peak of his career, and he was once known as the "Wade Killer" because he could limit the explosive power and speed of the Flash Wade.
When Phil Jackson saw Kirk Hinrich on the court, his brows furrowed slightly, and he was slightly worried.
Barnes sent the basketball to Fan Xi, and he said to this young brother who was very suitable for him: relax, don't be too tense.
Fan Xi smiled.
He came to the frontcourt with the ball, and Hinrich quickly defended.
His physical fitness has declined greatly due to age and injuries, but his defensive experience is still there. When he stands next to Fan Xi, Fan Xi feels a lot of pressure.
Fan Xi carefully combed it, and he slowly slapped the basketball in front of him, changing directions slightly back and forth to test the strength of the defense.
Hinrich will not be fooled or fooled.
At this time, Fan Xi was the first to start, and he quickly attacked Hinrich's left side. At this time, he did not release all his explosive power, only about 70%.
But this moment was enough for Hinrich to be stunned, and he had a very strange feeling: he even felt the shadow of the Flash Wade.
He hurriedly followed up...if he was at the peak of his physical fitness, he might be able to stop Fan Xi's steps.
But at this time, he was already half a beat too slow.
At the same time, Fan Xi suddenly took a second step forward. This time, he used 80% of his explosive power.
The second step is faster than the first.
In order to prevent himself from being completely thrown away, Hinrich could only put all his weight on it and follow up without reservation. At the same time, he was also experienced and prepared to change direction... because Wade often drove on the highway back then.
Change direction in the state.
However, as Fan Xi felt Hinrich's center of gravity rushing forward, he immediately stopped and suddenly took a step back... This step, he took 100% of the explosive force, like thunder sweeping across, as soon as he entered
As soon as he stepped back, he was about 1.5 meters away from Hinrich.
Fan Xi jumped up and shot...Hinrich went to block the shot, but it was too late. He couldn't resist the inertia and was unable to jump up and block the shot.
I could only watch helplessly as Fan Xi shot the basketball in an extremely comfortable way.
He tilted his head back and watched the basketball draw a beautiful arc from the sky... Whoa!
hit.
Extremely gentle.
The referee raised three fingers.
There was a sigh at the scene.
Kirk Hinrich looked at Fan Xi with awe in his eyes.
He originally thought that Fanci was just a bubble promoted by the Los Angeles media. The reason why he was able to defeat the Bulls was because no one understood him.
However, the ball that just killed him head-on made him feel infinitely threatened.
This little guy has something.
When it comes to the sense of proportion between breakthroughs, he is not as good as Wade. His agility, coordination, and darting movements are all behind him.
However, Fan Xi's explosive power and speed surprised him, and he saw the shadow of Wade.
The most important thing is that Wade's step-back jump shot is not as decisive as his, nor is his shooting percentage as high.
Kirk Hinrich has been fighting with Wade since 2003, and he has a very accurate judgment on Wade's fighting ability.
This guy has at least 80% of rookie Wade's combat effectiveness.
The Lakers found a treasure.
When Hinrich made this judgment, the CCTV live broadcast room on the other side of the ocean was abuzz.
The host almost jumped up.
"This is Fan Xi, this is the power of China, an unbeatable force, and it will make contributions when it comes to the field! Phil Jackson should clearly understand this. Only Fan Xi can save the Lakers!"
His voice is very powerful.
It also aroused excitement among many viewers in front of the TV. Similarly, some viewers felt disgusted.
As the saying goes, one pink is worth ten blacks.
Sometimes overly exaggerated praise can actually be a negative harm.
However, if Fan Xi can solidify this praise, it will become a well-deserved appreciation.
Does Fan Xi have this strength?
Many sober domestic fans are actually asking questions. They have watched too many superstar games, and they instinctively do not believe that a yellow defender can perform those exaggerated performances.
"Don't underestimate this little guy."
Arenas, who was sitting on the Wizards bench, said to John Wall: "His shooting level is very high, and he just completely controlled Hinrich's defense, which is amazing."
John Wall looked nonchalant.
He felt that the shot just now was nothing special, it was just a step-back jumper.
This is the difference between rookies and veterans. Rookies can often only see superficial things, while veterans can see through the essence.
Jack has become stronger!
Old fox Phil Jackson turned his head and exchanged glances with old Winter.
They read the same thing in each other's eyes.
A tacit smile appeared.
Fan Xi's progress is very important to them.
boom!
The Wizards' rotation is terrible, and there's a reason why they're at the bottom of the Eastern Conference...because of Arenas' huge contract, their cap space is severely locked up, preventing them from making gains in free agency.
Hinrich made a difficult shot under Fanshie's defense, and then struck.
Odom picked off the rebound and immediately passed it to Fan Xi.
Fan Xi rushed into the frontcourt like lightning, but Hinrich failed to keep up with Fan Xi. Their physically gifted McGee quickly stepped up to defend.
But Fan Xi only used a simple layup fake move to trick him into jumping... and the center goal was wide open.
Fancy threw the basketball into the sky, and Barnes came from the left, soared into the air and slammed the basketball into the basket.
A perfect alley-oop.
Just violence.
Fan Xi came on the court and recovered 5 points in a row.
Beep!
The Washington Wizards quickly requested a substitution.
John Wall could no longer hold himself back any longer, and he rushed forward to have a good fight with this former defeated general.
Let him know: the protagonist will always be the protagonist, and the supporting role will always be the supporting role.
When he was in the NCAA, John Wall stepped on his reputation as a defensive specialist and eventually became the No. 1 pick.
Now, Fanci has become famous again. John Wall has already made plans in his heart. If he can defeat Fanci again this time, he might be able to defeat the Los Angeles Clippers repeater in the selection of the best rookie.
Tiff Blake.
Joining John Wall on the court is Yi Jianlian.
Naturally, the reason for replacing Yi Jianlian was for the large number of Chinese fans in the arena, as well as the vast Chinese market.
Tonight's game has the slogan "Chinese Derby".
Sure enough, Yi Jianlian's appearance made the CCTV live broadcast room excited again, and the audience in front of the TV also became excited.
Since Yao Wei was injured and left the game, there has never been a decent Chinese Derby in the NBA.
Now that Fan Xi and Yi Jianlian are on the same stage, they finally got what they wanted.
Fan Xi and Yi Jianlian said hello in Chinese. Although they didn't know each other before, it was precious to have comrades with the same skin color in a foreign country.
Yi Jianlian also smiled at Fan Xi.
At this time, John Wall had already come to kill him fiercely.
When Wall stood in front of Fanshie, the home court immediately cheered up. Many frantic fans even stood up and shouted to fight and kill.
‘Get rid of this Chinese fan’
‘John, knock him down!
‘Super Wall, kill him!!
‘Hoho! There’s a price to pay for his comeback!!
‘…
This sound is endless.
It is a common way to apply pressure in away games.
Lamar Odom and Matt Barnes looked over with concern, worried that their little brother would be affected.
But what they didn't expect was.
Fan Xi actually smiled and said to John Wall in a serious manner: "John, your fans have high expectations of you. Wouldn't it be embarrassing if you couldn't kill me?"
Fan Xi used a move to shift the world, transferring the pressure on the scene to John Wall.
"I am undrafted anyway, I have nothing to lose. You are the first overall pick!"
Fan Xi continued to talk trash.
These words hit home and could not have had an impact on Wall.
But Wall is very tough. He said: "I could beat you before, and I can even beat you now. Crossing you is like crossing the road in the early morning, and beating you is like cutting a knife into tofu..."
John Wall was talking, but Fan Xi suddenly stepped forward to get the ball without any moral ethics.
John Wall was disturbed, he quickly retreated and deflected.
But Fan Xi had already bullied him and refused to give him any space.
He quickly changed direction, thinking he could easily get rid of Fan Xi.
But little did they know that Fanshie was no longer what he used to be at this time. His explosive power came from Shawn Kemp, the most violent power forward in history, and his speed came from peak Allen Iverson, the only player in NBA history who could explode with speed.
The super small man of his generation as a shooting guard.
Although Fan Xi's agility, coordination, flexibility and other connecting physical qualities are not as good as Wall's, they are enough to give Wall a drink.
Wall's change of direction was blocked again.
He was a bit clumsy and stuck in the quagmire.
Fan Xi was still talking trash in his ears.
Pass the ball! Pass the ball! Pass the ball!
Like Tang Monk reciting sutras, John Wall was extremely angry.
He turned around and tried to throw a super three-pointer.
Unexpectedly, at the moment he turned around, Fan Xi struck out with a knife from his left hand... Bang!
The basketball was knocked down on the spot.
John Wal was a little lost...he made a steal and was actually intercepted.
He had never expected that he would be so embarrassed.
At this time, Fan Xi had already taken the basketball that originally belonged to him and swept towards the frontcourt like a lightning storm.
When this scene of a one-on-one direct steal occurred, the Lakers bench cheered up. Old Winter stood up tremblingly, clenching his fists and roaring for Fan Xi.
There are countless Lakers fans in front of the TV and countless Chinese fans across the ocean.
So relieved!
Everyone had said before that Fan Xi couldn't do this or that.
Everyone thought John Wall, the new No. 1 draft pick, would kick Fanci's ass hard.
John Wall himself was also arrogant and domineering, treating Fan Xi as a plate of fish for him to slaughter.
But now!
Steal!
Steal in person!
Fuck you directly one on one!
John Wall turned around, and the boat had passed the Ten Thousand Mountains.
Fan Xi rushed across the half court and into the three-point line.
Everyone is waiting for his dunk.
However, Fan Xi did not do this. Instead, he rushed to the basket and paused.
Then use the simplest layup to score the basketball. After scoring, catch the ball and put it gently on the floor.
Fan Xi is very polite.
But at this time, politeness is more harmful than any arrogant behavior.
John Wall's eyes widened.
His teeth clenched loudly.
The home fans sighed uncontrollably, and then burst into helpless boos.
But then again, Fan Xi had already raised his hands and high-fived Matt Barnes, who was running over.
In his first confrontation with the new No. 1 pick, he won a resounding victory!
