Chapter 277 Am I going to be sealed by tomatoes again
When Blake Griffin ran out, Fan Xi's entire eyebrows clenched together.
He is very disgusted with Griffin's behavior, although in the NBA, this behavior is very common, and franchise players often rely on the fact that they will not be subject to foreign military orders and deviate from the tactics to play freely.
But not tonight. The whole world knows that tonight is a crucial game and a battle for basketball orthodoxy in this city. Griffin should not put his personality above the overall interests of the team.
Fan Xi hates this kind of selfishness and self-interest regardless of the occasion.
At the same time, Griffin and Nash had already completed a pick-and-roll that was not adequate. Nash did not get rid of the defense and simply passed the basketball to Griffin. Griffin took the ball and rushed into the paint area. He jumped up and tried to dunk, but
Facing Howard swooping up, he was so frightened that he had to make a horse-riding archery throw to get past Howard's defense.
The basketball flew over Howard's fingertips, and Howard shouted: Rebound.
With Griffin, Warcraft finally found the feeling to dominate the defense.
boom!
Basketball is really good.
However, the rebound did not fall into the hands of the Lakers.
At the moment when the basketball was hitting the iron, a blue and white figure roared into the sky...Boom!
Fan Xi slammed the basketball that fell out of the hoop into the basket.
Successful deduction.
After scoring the goal, Fanshie did not celebrate.
Instead, he continued to walk to Griffin and told him: Play according to the tactics. You will get a chance, don't be anxious.
This was Fanci's last tolerance for Griffin.
Griffin nodded in agreement, but he didn't know if he really listened.
Easy side to fight again.
Pau Gasol pulled away from DeAndre Jordan, and Howard trapped Griffin in the paint.
Originally, Kobe reached for the ball for a single, but seeing Howard stuck in his position, he immediately passed the basketball into the penalty area.
There is always a saying from the outside world that Kobe Bryant doesn't like passing the ball, but in fact he has a very good ability to read the game. He just can't help himself at many times and can't control his desire to shoot.
Now that he has grown older, he is much better.
When Howard got the basketball, he immediately turned around and made a singles stance.
Griffin was very nervous. He waved his arms and blocked Howard's path.
However, Howard just pressed down hard, and his center of gravity was deceived. Then Howard slapped the ball, strode forward, and after a sudden jump, he jumped up... Boom!
Howard also completed a powerful two-handed dunk.
His goal-scoring action is exactly the same as that of Kwame Brown before him.
It's just that Griffin's defense was so bad that he didn't keep up, otherwise Howard would have completed a dunk.
After the dunk, Howard was very excited. He flexed his arms vigorously and showed off his muscles.
Mixed with the excited Lakers fans in Staples Arena.
"After almost half the game, the familiar Howard is finally back." The ESPN commentator said excitedly on TV: "Congratulations to Dwight for returning to the No. 1 center position."
His words brought great encouragement to the Lakers fans in front of the TV.
Howard found his scepter, and when he began to dominate the paint, the Lakers became unprecedentedly powerful.
This is also the Lakers that Magic Johnson and Jeanie Buss are looking forward to.
In the process, Fanxi quickly passed the basketball to Nash.
And urged Griffin, who looked confused, to run the fast break quickly, and the Clippers were flying at lightning speed.
Griffin couldn't guard Howard on the defensive end, and Fansheed didn't blame him because he had never been good at defense.
During the fast break, Fanci instructed Jordan to lock on Howard next and let the two of them consume each other while Griffin defended Pau Gasol.
Nash quickly brought the ball to the frontcourt, took a feint, and then passed the ball. His basketball was passed straight to Dunleavy in the bottom corner, and he quickly rushed into the paint area, using his own restraining power to lead Dunleavy.
Go defensive.
Unexpectedly... Nash's ball was intercepted halfway, and Blake Griffin rushed over and stole the ball passed to Dunleavy. After getting the basketball, he rushed into the penalty area regardless of his own safety.
However, he is out of touch with tactics.
Just then, Nash was also running towards the paint area. Griffin hit Nash hard from behind and raised his elbow... Bang!
Griffin hit Nash on the brow with an elbow. At that time, Nash fell forward, and Griffin stopped walking. He took advantage of the situation and made a shot... Bang!
Howard slapped him from behind and sent him out of bounds.
Howard roared excitedly.
Lakers fans on the sidelines shouted in agreement.
Griffin shouted to the referee from the side: Foul, foul! Blocking foul.
The referee ignored him.
Griffin is like a clown.
Nash covered his right eyebrow and returned to the bench covered in blood. He was cut open.
The team doctor quickly went over to clean his window.
The referee also stopped the game.
At this time, Griffin raised his head and saw that the person he knocked away was Nash.
Staples Arena erupted into loud jeers, and Lakers fans regarded Griffin as a joke.
However, Griffin himself did not have this awareness.
He came over and said sorry to Nash, and Nash said in a gentlemanly manner, it doesn't matter.
However, he was quickly sent to the bench by the team doctor.
Griffin seemed to sense something was wrong on the bench, and he quickly found Jack: "Kohler said, let's go to dinner together tonight. Jack."
"No need." Fan Xi shook his head, his tone a little cold.
"Jack, we have to play more pick-and-rolls next. We can definitely beat the Lakers..."
Griffin continued to talk, and he felt that everyone was looking at him wrongly. He knew that only Fan Xi could save him, and Fan Xi was his life-saving straw.
However, Fan Xi shook his head and said again: "I mean, no need."
Um?
Griffin didn't understand.
Fan Xi didn't talk to him again.
Griffin's Clippers career is over here. He is a very talented player and a star with great box office appeal. He will definitely become a first-class star and even touch the threshold of a superstar.
But, that's it.
His fate with the Clippers is over.
The Clippers' patience with him has reached its limit, and they are not prepared to give him a new chance. Because, he will definitely mess everything up.
"Let me play."
Yao Ming stood up from the bench and asked Mike Brown to fight. He saw the coach's hesitation.
Mike Brown glanced at Fan Xi, and Fan Xi glanced at Yao Ming. Chairman Yao gave Fan Xi an affirmative look. Fan Xi turned his head and gave the coach an affirmative look. The coach nodded to Chairman Yao and gave
gave him an affirmative look.
Triangular tactics, perfect closed loop.
There are still 2 minutes and 28 seconds left before the end of the second quarter.
Mike Brown made a brand-new decision. He let Chairman Yao and DeAndre Jordan enter the game as twin tower centers, paired with Grant Hill, Hamilton, and Fanci.
From a full-court run and gun to a half-court position in an instant.
The Clippers' tactical span is the largest in the league.
…
At the same time, the Lakers fans in the arena felt relaxed. After Griffin knocked Stephen Nash off the court with an own-goal elbow, they all breathed a sigh of relief. When Nash was present, they were all nervous.
Now the Lakers have the initiative, and the Clippers have lost their troops again.
No matter which angle you look at it, victory is already a given.
"The Clippers are still at least ten years behind the Lakers. However, in these ten years, the Lakers have also been booming. The Lakers are a highway traveling at a speed of 100 miles per hour. The Clippers are at most 80 miles per hour. The gap between them is only
It will get bigger and bigger, not smaller and smaller.”
ESPN's special commentator Bill Simmons asserted on TV: "The next step is the Lakers' performance time."
"It is difficult for the Clippers to create an effective counterattack. The seal of the first center has been opened. The first point guard and the first shooting guard will have a wonderful chemical reaction with him. For Lakers fans, they can start to celebrate a wonderful Christmas.
Festival."
When Simmons said these words, Yao Ming walked onto the court.
The game starts again.
Simmons was stunned for a moment, and then he said: "The Clippers actually let Yao play. Oh, my God, did he think this was three years ago? In fact, Yao has never defeated Dwight on any list.
.”
"It's really unwise for the Clippers to pin their hopes on Yao. I'm worried that Yao won't be able to run."
Simmons said.
At the same time, Chinese fans and even Asian fans on the other side of the ocean are collectively excited. This is the first time that the yellow-skinned guard and the yellow-skinned center have joined forces.
For Chinese fans, this is the Chinese New Year.
The CCTV commentator even said with tears in his eyes: "We have finally waited for this moment. Although we don't celebrate Christmas, for us, this is really the moment of divine birth."
Grant Hill sent the basketball to Fanci out of bounds.
Jordan mentioned the outside line and set a screen for Fan Xi. Fan Xi accelerated his breakthrough to the free throw line. Chairman Yao came out from the baseline and got an open space. Fan Xi passed the basketball.
Chairman Yao caught the basketball and shot it easily...Bang!
The basketball hit the front edge of the basket, bounced and then fell into the basket again, blah!
Crisp sound.
This was Chairman Yao's first goal back on the court, assisted by Fan Xi.
It's still the shot he's familiar with.
It was still Howard defending in front of him.
Everything seems to be back to 2010, or 2009.
The difference is that the person passing the ball to him is no longer Alston or Brooks.
It's Fan Xi, a new superstar Chinese point guard.
“It’s very comfortable to pass on.”
After Yao Ming scored a goal, he quickly ran back, talking to Fan Xi while running.
Chairman Yao's recovery speed is not slow, and his weight loss is very successful.
Back at halftime, Chairman Yao and DeAndre Jordan quickly formed a twin-tower position, with Chairman Yao patrolling the basket and DeAndre Jordan farther outside.
The two of them stood in the paint area, instantly blocking out the sky and the sun.
Chris Paul drove into the paint under the screen of Pau Gasol, but quickly exited and passed the basketball to Howard.
Howard forced a single against DeAndre Jordan, but at the moment when he broke through DeAndre Jordan, he was about to dunk when he looked up and saw Chairman Yao, and he quickly made a hook shot... Bang!
Blacksmithing.
The chairman accepted the rebound and gave it to Fan Xi.
A cardinal once said: Height is the only talent that cannot be taught.
Chairman Yao's height is shown here.
Although he doesn't dare to fight fiercely now, and his physical fitness has not returned to its best because of weight loss... his ability to fight is also declining.
However, as long as he stands in the paint area, he is a natural barrier.
What's more, the chairman has never had such a good partner as DeAndre Jordan in his life.
In the past, who was beside him in Houston? Hayes, who is less than 1.98 meters tall, is still a pure blue-collar worker. The old Uncle Huo, and Swift, who was not very bright in his early days... Wait, the only thing that is reliable is
, the one who can get closer to the elite players is Scola, who is strong in offense but weak in attack. At their most glorious time, they created a 22-game winning streak that broke the history of the Rockets.
Now, there is no doubt that DeAndre Jordan is the best inside partner that Boss Yao has ever played with. The most important thing is that he makes up for Yao's shortcomings. Yao's defensive ability in the post is relatively passive, and DeAndre Jordan is particularly good at this. Yao's shot-blocking ability and
Although his athletic ability is average, Jordan is also extremely good at it.
"I wish I had met you earlier."
On his way back to halftime, Boss Yao couldn't help but say to Jordan.
Little Jordan didn't react to that, he said: "If you had met me earlier? If you had met me sooner, would you have signed my autograph for me?"
As we all know, Jordan is not smart.
"Of course." Boss Yao had some humor in him: "I will also write, dear little guy, please grow up quickly."
Little Jordan smiled happily.
He feels that Chinese people are very friendly.
Fanxi steadily carried the ball to half court. He did not create a quick defensive counterattack, but patiently sorted out the offense.
Fanshie has a high basketball IQ, but when it comes to his job as a point guard, people generally think that he is not creative enough and that his ability as a point guard is relatively weak. This is why people are reluctant to classify him as a super point guard.
Wei, prefers to skip this stage and call him a superstar directly.
However, Fanci showed his ability to understand the game.
He carried the ball to half court and waited for his teammates to take their positions.
Then, he started to break through.
Under Paul's defense, he invaded the free throw line and then passed the ball to Leonard.
Leonard singled out Kobe... Yao Yao brought him up as a screen. He got rid of Kobe, but was caught by Howard.
He quickly passed to Grant Hill who was cutting through the air. Hill went to the basket and passed it to Chairman Yao who rushed up from the free throw line. Chairman Yao received the basketball and easily threw it... Wow!
The basketball goes into the basket again.
Boss Yao's soft touch and super high release point make it impossible for opponents to defend.
Howard has always been afraid of Boss Yao.
Why? He can't guard centers with superior basic skills. Howard is essentially a super blue-collar man. He has excellent athletic ability and strong upper body strength, but his lower body strength is average. He lacks the ability to withstand super centers one on one. Yao
The boss, Randolph, and Duncan before losing weight always taught him how to behave.
After Boss Yao scored, he couldn't help but sigh.
"His."
"I have never fought such a rich battle in my life."
Boss Yao was really emotional because the Clippers played so smartly and patiently.
It's not like he was with the Rockets before, where he was like a nanny.
It's hard to hit the ball in the sky, unlike now, when people clear all the routes and just shoot the ball.
Boss Yao was filled with emotion.
Howard on the side took a deep breath. Boss Yao's words made him realize that something terrible was happening.
