Chapter 3 The critical moment is actually one-on-one
"Jack, tonight is my night of fame. There is no way you can stop me."
Stephen Curry said to his close brother when faced with Vanhee's defense.
Fan Xi smiled and said, "That's right, Stephen, tonight is also my night of fame. Tonight, I won't wipe your ass again."
The eyes of the two confidants intertwined, with a strong desire to win flowing in their eyes.
Both want to use this game as a stepping stone on their own road to fame, and both have reasons for becoming famous.
Curry quickly received the basketball from Dorell Wright, and then stopped outside the three-point line. Although there were still 35 seconds left in the attack time, the Warriors were now in the lead.
As long as the offensive time is used up and a three-pointer is scored, the Lakers will be unable to recover.
That's Curry's plan.
He wasted up the attack time as if no one was around.
Fan Xi also stood quietly one and a half meters in front of him.
The two former golden partners maintain a delicate balance.
The old coach Winter on the sidelines frowned a little. He didn't know why Fan Xi was led by his opponent so much. He muttered to himself: He still has too little game experience.
However, just the next second when his idea was released in his brain waves.
When there were only 9 seconds left in the Warriors' attack time, Fanci suddenly moved forward and directly attacked Stephen Curry's left foot.
As a former partner, Fan Xi knows best how to force Curry to move, and also knows where his weaknesses are.
Unexpectedly, Fan Xi forced Curry's left foot.
A smile appeared on Curry's lips.
He felt a trace of 'sarcasm' towards his best brother: Jack, Jack! Do you still think I am the same person I was two years ago? In the past two years of polishing in the NBA, I have already passed day-to-day training with the help of my trainer.
One day of strong training changed my weaknesses. You want to use the weaknesses from two years ago to hit me, huh? Too young!
In a flash of lightning, Curry made an extremely smooth lift, and he avoided the pressure from the right.
But just as he took a step forward, Fan Xi suddenly turned sideways.
He actually blocked Curry's retreat.
Curry was shocked at the time.
From the corner of his eye, he saw a proud smile on Fan Xi's lips.
As Curry's good brother, how could Fan Xi not know about Curry's pursuit of excellence? From the beginning, his persecution was not to guard against Curry.
Instead, force him into the three-point line.
As long as Curry doesn't throw a three-pointer, the Lakers have a chance to tie.
By the time Curry realized it, it was too late.
He has no way out and can only move forward.
Time does not allow him to look back.
Curry is a decisive person. Although he looks cute on the outside, he is determined and resolute on the inside. He takes advantage of the situation and strides forward.
Fan Xi quickly gave chase.
And forced him to walk into the defensive circle built by Pau Gasol.
Old Winter was very pleased to watch from the sidelines. Fan Xi is indeed a defensive genius. Not only can he assess the situation, but he also knows how to form a series with his teammates. He is not the kind of defensive player who fights alone.
However, just when Stephen Curry was about to break into the paint area, Curry suddenly stopped suddenly, then shot an arrow on horseback? Fan Xi flew up, but was a little slower.
Basketball shot early? Bang!
Hit the front of the basket.
At that time, Fan Xi was very happy.
But the next second?? Whoosh!
Luck was on the Warriors' side, and Curry's ball fell into the basket.
108:111.
The Warriors went ahead by 3 points.
Staples Center sighed.
This is the 46 points Curry scored tonight.
There is no doubt that the second-year point guard has already established his authority in the famous Staples Arena, and the halo of the dome will illuminate his future.
The Warriors management, which had been hesitating before about abandoning Monta Ellis and establishing Curry as the core of the team, can now make up its mind.
Fan Xi took a deep breath.
He looked up at the sky above Staples Arena.
Under tremendous pressure, his thinking became clearer and clearer.
"Jack, I'm sorry, I'm determined to win tonight!" Curry said confidently to Fan Xi.
Fan Xi smiled and said to him: "The game time is not over yet. We'll see!"
After Fisher brought the ball back to the frontcourt, he quickly requested a timeout.
There are 12 seconds left in the game.
The Lakers still have one last shot.
"They definitely want a three-pointer. If Fanci can continue to create miracles and score a three-pointer and drag the game into overtime, then tomorrow he will definitely become a hero for the entire Los Angeles. It is a real one-goal success!"
The CCTV commentator couldn't wait to add drama to Fan Xi during the timeout.
Another commentator named Coach Zhang couldn't help but comment: "Fan Xi defended really well just now. He pushed Curry to a corner and prevented the Warriors from opening up their three-point tactics. To be honest, if Fan Xi
If his physical fitness is stronger, his speed is faster, or his jumping height is higher, it will not matter whether Curry can take the shot?"
Director Zhang has always been very optimistic about Fan Xi. He would like to call Fan Xi the only player among Chinese defenders who uses his brain to play.
But to play in the NBA, you don't just have brains, you also have to have physical fitness.
His eyes returned to the court.
Old coach Winter formulated the final tactic: three-pointers.
Plan A is Fisher, who once created a 0.4-second buzzer beater, but he is old after all and his legs and feet are weak.
Therefore, plan B is to pull Lamar Odom out of the three-point line and take a shot. But Odom is distracted all year round and his three-pointers are also unstable.
Therefore, Fan Xi naturally became Plan C.
Although it is Plan C, it is actually Fisher's first passing option, with Bynum covering for him.
Fan Xi assumed a very important role.
He has already hit two three-pointers in a row. Both the fans and the head coach hope that Fanshie can continue this miracle.
Of course, Fan Xi would prefer this.
He is different from Curry.
Curry needs a game to establish his position as the core of the team, and he needs a game to get a chance to stay with the Lakers.
A carp can leap over the Dragon Gate after five hundred years of training, but a loach needs another thousand years of training to become a carp.
Stephen Curry is the carp that jumped over the dragon gate, and Fan Xi is the loach that he wants to get.
Therefore, how could his pressure and desire to win be lower than Curry's!
When he came on stage, he once patted his violently beating heart with his hand and said softly: I heard it, I heard it!
This is the truest desire.
Become famous with one goal, right before your eyes!
Beep!
The whistle sounded.
Fan Xi was the first to walk onto the court.
He's responsible for kicking off the ball.
However, when he received the basketball, he found that Curry had already entangled Fisher, nicknamed Lao Yu'er. Lao Yu'er's legs were as if they were filled with lead, and it was impossible to throw the ball to him.
Can't jump.
In the midst of the lightning and flint, Fan Xi suddenly had a flash of inspiration.
He passed the basketball directly to the free throw line.
Going straight to Pau Gasol.
Gasol has a good mind and is a very smart player.
He quickly suppressed David Lee and grabbed the basketball.
At the same time, Fan Xi quickly ran out of bounds.
Just when everyone was surprised by this serve, Fan Xi ran to the top of the three-point line.
Pau Gasol passed the basketball as if on conditioned reflex? Yes, this is how he and Kobe always cooperated.
Fan Xi often watched from the sidelines, so she was deeply impressed.
However, Old Winter was surprised. He did not expect that Fan Xi would be so bold as to implement Kobe Bryant's tactics.
Is he going to decide the final outcome in a single fight?
Fan Xi caught the basketball and really kept the rhythm.
And Dorell Wright has already defended.
Create a one-on-one situation.
This scene made the audience gasp in surprise.
Fanxi!
This guy who created miracles twice tonight actually picked up the hero's hammer. He actually inherited the legacy of Kobe Bryant in his last moments.
Is he going to hit the winning goal solo?
The entire Staples Arena was surprised and delighted.
Just? Does this short-term player who suddenly appeared have the ability?
