"I knew it a long time ago! I knew it a long time ago!!"
The CCTV host shouted at the top of his voice on the TV.
"Fan Xi has made meritorious service again! Fan Xi has made meritorious service again!"
"He directly stole John Wall. He stole the Wizards' No. 1 pick. To hell with his arrogance."
"Nothing shows more energy than a front-on tackle."
"There's nothing worse than stopping for a layup!"
"Fan Xi! Well done!"
The CCTV host used his passionate voice to shout to the audience across the country. In fact, the fans were already excited without his exaggeration.
This is the first time in history that a Chinese defender has intercepted a top defender known for his ball control in an international arena. In the past, Chinese defenders have been intercepted by others. Every time a Chinese defender holds the ball for half the court in an international arena, he sits down. The fans in front of the TV were inexplicably worried.
Things are changing now.
Why is it so cool?
"I'll call back."
John Wall came to Fanshi, and he was enraged: "You cunning guy."
Wall was furious.
He wanted to give Fan Xi an answer-ball immediately to regain his face.
Therefore, when he came up, he used a fierce killing move, and his change of direction was quick and sharp.
However, he was a little too hasty. If he took his time, slowly used the rhythm to wear down Fan Xi's center of gravity, and then succeeded in one fell swoop, Fan Xi might not be able to defend him.
There is no prelude at the beginning, just do it directly. It is a complete competition of explosive power and speed, which plays right into Fan Xi's plan.
Fan Xi followed up immediately.
Wall changes direction from left to right... He has practiced this move for a long time. Generally speaking, few people in the league can keep up with it.
However, Fan Xi followed directly.
The Zen masters watching the game were all shocked.
Then, Wall accelerated into the penalty area again... This rush was a combination of top explosive power and top speed.
If it were Steve Blake, Shannon Brown would be knocked out directly. As for Derek Fisher, he didn't even have to wait to accelerate, the change of direction just now made him unable to find his way.
However, Fan Xi actually followed up again, and showed a close flying trajectory.
In other words...Fan Xi's speed and explosive power may be stronger than John Wall, so he can turn passivity into initiative.
Wow!
Kobe Bryant exclaimed in front of the TV, he felt incredible.
He always thought that Fan Xi's strengths were his straight-line speed, defensive awareness, open shots, and passing at a fast break pace. He didn't expect that this guy's physical fitness was so strong!
Two steps later, John Wall was locked again.
The TV camera captured his face full of horror.
He never expected that the Chinese boys who were previously physically weak and rubbed against him over and over again would be full of energy, able to completely entangle themselves with him, and even have the ability to force him to stop while racing.
He quickly stopped, stopped suddenly, and then tried a jump shot.
But he found that Fan Xi still had some energy left. Not only did he stop immediately after him, but he also stretched out his hand to interrupt his shooting rhythm.
John Wall returned in vain, all plans failed, and he could only pass the basketball to McGee next to him.
But McGee just caught the basketball...POP!
Odom, who was ambushing on one side, slapped his basketball down.
Steal again.
The whole audience sighed.
Washington fans originally came to see Wall brutally kill Fanci, but they didn't expect the situation to be reversed.
They were extremely disappointed.
Odom has passed to Fan Xi immediately.
Fan Xi suddenly started a fast break with the ball, and John Wall quickly followed. He tried to use his excellent physical fitness to restrict Fan Xi.
But Fancy showed a completely different approach from John Wall.
He did not tangle with Wall. Instead, he set up a pick-and-roll with Lamar Odom at the top of the three-point arc, and passed the screen to get to the free throw line. When Yi Jianlian came up to defend, Fanxi passed the ball to Luke Wo
Dun, Walton went straight into the penalty area...boom!
One-handed chop.
Flowing clouds and flowing water.
Fan Xi plays relatively simple tactics, pick-and-roll, using screens to break through, attracting flankers and then passing the ball... However, the simpler, the more difficult it is.
Being able to make such a clear-headed and goal-oriented decision in a very short period of time is enough to illustrate Fan Xi's excellence.
Phil Jackson was very satisfied.
In his mind, Fanshie is already the team's starting point guard and an indispensable part of this year's run to the dynasty.
This is God's gift.
"Now, do you still have any doubts?" Kobe Bryant turned his head in front of the TV and asked Jim Buss and Kupchak.
Kobe was very determined to keep Fan Xi.
He is using his privileges in the team to 'force' the team to give Fanci a contract unprecedented since the establishment of the NBA...giving an undrafted player an annual salary of tens of millions.
Kobe wanted so much to build a second three-peat dynasty.
This is of extremely great significance to him.
If he can get a sixth championship ring, his career will tie his lifelong idol Michael Jordan in the number of championships. The most important thing is that if he can continue to win this year, it means that he can still suppress LeBron James.
Brown James one.
Based on this situation, when the team was unable to attract stronger support, he could only place all his bets on Fanshie.
The energy Fan Xi showed was beyond his expectation.
He did the math, and with the addition of Fan Xi, he was fully capable of fighting against the Big Three of the Miami Heat.
Jim Buss and Kupchak looked at each other.
They all admire Fan Xi very much, and they all recognize Fan Xi's strength from the bottom of their hearts. It's just that... giving an undrafted player an annual salary of tens of millions is unprecedented. It requires a lot of pressure from public opinion, and may even attract many bosses.
Blame: Think he sabotaged the market.
"But Van is worth it!"
Jim Bass finally made up his mind that he was the young owner of the team and he could only make the decision.
As the general manager and the executor, Kupchak also nodded. Then he said: "However, the details of the contract need to be adjusted."
Kobe opened his palms, it was none of his business.
He just wants to keep Fan Xi.
Meanwhile, the game continues.
After John Wall was intercepted twice in a row, his mentality was a little unbalanced. Although Arenas kept reminding him from the sidelines, asking him to wake up and pay attention to the rhythm.
But I still can't help but feel a little impatient.
As the saying goes, wealth does not come in haste, and haste makes waste.
John Wall's level has declined.
Although he also completed a long-distance layup, overall, he was suppressed by Fan Xi.
Fanshie continued to form a tacit cooperation with his teammates in the fast offensive. Lamar Odom and Luke Walton are both forwards who are good at passing the ball, plus Fisher and Barnes made open shots.
Fan Xi did indeed play wave after wave of decent running and gunners.
Phil Jackson was very happy. He originally replaced Fanci on the field just to highlight Fanci's ability. Unexpectedly, Fanci not only suppressed the top pick Wall, but also led the team to take the lead.
The second quarter is over.
The Lakers have led by 6 points at 59:53.
Fanci faced off against John Wall for 12 minutes and scored 9 points and 6 assists, taking only 5 shots. The efficiency was amazing and he was definitely a leader.
On the other hand, John Wall only had 6 points and 2 assists in a single quarter, and was sold 8 times, lagging behind Fanshie in all aspects.
People who don't know may think that Fan Xi is this year's top pick.
"This is not an undrafted draft! He is clearly the top pick!"
D'Antoni's eyes almost bulged out in front of the TV.
There was a salivating expression all over his face.
D'Antoni is the head coach and general manager of the New York Knicks. The New York Knicks were terrible under the leadership of Isiah Thomas. They paid high luxury taxes every year but failed to enter the playoffs every year.
After D'Antoni left Phoenix, he immediately made drastic reforms. He introduced Stoudemire and traded Carmelo Anthony over in a piecemeal manner. Now the team has two superstars. No. 1
The bit is almost meaningless.
Fan Xi's sudden appearance attracted his attention, and he specifically stayed in front of the TV today to watch the showdown between Fan Xi and John Wall.
Fan Xi's performance exceeded his imagination.
Stoudemire, who was sitting next to him, was also very satisfied. He said: "We must win this guy. If we win him, we have a good chance to compete with the Miami Heat."
Stoudemire is nicknamed the Little Bully. He is a very powerful and violent power forward. His face-up singles ability is very strong, and he cooperates seamlessly with Stephen Nash. He is the ultimate running and gun power forward.
New York hired him from Phoenix for $100 million over five years, but his performance has not been perfect. He always felt that he lacked a defender like Nash to feed the ball.
"I see the feeling of Steph in this kid." Stoudemire strongly encouraged D'Antoni to sign Fancy.
According to Stoudemire, there is nothing that money cannot solve.
The New York Knicks have deep pockets and are the richest team in the league. As long as their record improves, they can spend any amount of money they want.
D'Antoni had this intention, and he quickly asked his assistant to search for the phone number of Fanshi's agent.
In fact, D'Antoni was not the only person searching for Fanci's phone number, but also the Bulls general manager, Houston general manager...
As an undrafted player who suddenly emerged as an undrafted player, many teams are paying attention to him.
This direct matchup with John Wall is actually an invisible test.
Fan Xi obviously passed this level.
Fan Xi showed the energy to suppress John Wall. Everyone is not a fool and is willing to rob him.
…
When Fan Xi entered the locker room, he clearly felt that the staff took more care of him. They immediately handed him his coat and shook the energy drink prepared in advance.
The thoughtfulness in these details shows that Fanshie is becoming an important figure in the team.
The so-called Spring River Plumbing Duck Prophets, although the staff of each team do not play on the court, their observation skills are very strong.
Among point guards before, Steve Blake received the best treatment. Now...he can only sit on the bench.
It's not about human relationships, competitive sports, or food.
…
Arenas enlightened the depressed Wall in the locker room. John Wall originally wanted to step on Fanci to win the Rookie of the Year.
But now when they fight, they are blinded directly.
He never dreamed that Fan Xi's explosive power and speed were so strong, and this guy's shots were as if they were equipped with missiles to cruise. He had never been so accurate before. He knew before that he could get past the nougat-like defense by a little speed.
"You have to put aside your pride and the arrogance that is destined to trample him under your feet. Only when you treat him as a real opponent can you exert your full strength. Only then can you possibly defeat him."
Arenas said earnestly to John Wall. "Your talent must be higher than his, and you have to make good use of your own advantages. The game is not over yet, and the second half has not yet begun."
John Wall gradually calmed down under Arenas' persuasion.
Head coach Eddie Jordan came over to lay out tactics for the Wizards. He was already going to conduct a limited double attack on Fanshie.
This proves that Fan Xi is gradually being treated as a big shot.
At the same time, Phil Jackson also arranged the lineup for the second half. He put Pau Gasol on the court, allowing him to be on the court at the same time as Fanshie.
Pau Gasol is the biggest star of the Lakers right now.
It is also the most important part of the Lakers' triangle offensive tactics.
However, what surprised the entire locker room was that after laying out the tactics, Phil Jackson actually said to Fan Xi: "At certain times, you can have unlimited firing rights."
What?
As soon as these words came out, the whole audience was shocked. Steve Blake even screamed in despair.
Unlimited fire rights!
Fans who know the NBA league will know that this is something that only the biggest player on a team has. The player distribution of NBA teams is a pyramid shape, but the power structure is an inverted pyramid shape.
Only the superstars at the top of the tower have unlimited firing rights over the team's tactical system. Next are the second-in-command and the third-in-command. They have their own tactical lines and can fire at will in their own tactical lines. What follows?
They are the starting players. They are responsible for building the tactical lines of the core players, the second boss, and the third boss. At the same time, they will get some scattered shooting opportunities.
The next step is the rotation of players. Among the rotation players, there is usually a sixth man role. The sixth man's status is slightly stronger than that of the ordinary starter, and he will have his own tactical line. The other rotations are basically fill-in engineers, which refers to
Where to hit.
Finally, there are some fringe players who have a hard time getting opportunities. They follow a fixed route when they play. If they are lucky, they will share the ball with the bosses. If they are not lucky, they will keep doing dirty work, or they will be rubbish when the victory or defeat has been decided.
Take the time to collect data.
Clear hierarchy.
Fan Xi is a 10-day short-term player. Normally speaking, he is not even a marginal player. He just goes to the team to train with the team, imitating the opponent's players, and training in the whole field to make up for it.
But now, his status has jumped three levels one after another. From the edge to the rotation, from the rotation to the sixth man, from the sixth man to the role of second boss and third boss.
Now, Phil Jackson actually wants to give him unlimited firing rights.
are you crazy?
This is being cultivated as a super rookie.
Four years ago, there were only a handful of rookies with unlimited shooting rights: John Wall, Blake Griffin, Evans, Derrick Rose, Kevin Durant...no more.
Fan Xi was an undrafted player and actually got it.
This shows how absurd and shocking this incident is.
