Chapter 312 Top Offense and Defense, Never Relying on External Forces
Fan Xi's reply was obviously beyond Wade's expectations.
He was stunned for a moment, then walked up to Fan Xi, guarding her like a shadow.
This means that the top forces in the east have completely broken their skin and launched a formal confrontation.
Fan Xi was not afraid, he still strolled leisurely. He came to the top of the arc outside the three-point line, and then accelerated sharply to the left. Wade quickly followed up, but at the same time as Wade followed up, Fan Xi suddenly stopped.
He moved up a little, Wade got close to him, and he completely enveloped Fan Xi.
It seemed that Fan Xi had no place to stand.
However, in this desperate situation, Fan Xi directly turned over and leaned back, shooting the basketball without any angle... The movement was very cool and the level of difficulty was SSS.
Usually few people use this move in the All-Star Game.
However, Fan Xi just did this.
Whoosh!
When a basketball goes through the net.
Kobe and Jordan stood up at the same time. They clearly saw the shadow of their youth in Fan Xi.
This move can be said to be the ultimate legacy of top shooting guards.
Although Wade was the league's number one shooting guard for a while, his skill has never been perfect.
The fans in the Amway Center Arena were shouting and shouting, and soon they became uniform: mvp! mvp! mvp!
"After Fan Xi came on the field, the competitiveness and visibility of the game were visibly improved. This is what the All-Star Game should be like, it should be a tit-for-tat match. Everyone doesn't know who the other is. They clearly hate each other to death in their hearts. On the court
You're still pretending to be humble. Why bother?"
Shaquille O'Neal was sitting in the TNT commentary booth, as if he was warming up in advance for his post-retirement work.
He is very suitable for explanation.
He complements Barkley and Kenny Smith very well.
Moreover, what he said can indeed bring fans a new reading angle.
As he said, fans all feel that the content of the game is upgrading.
After Wade hit the goal, he rushed over aggressively.
However, Fanci did not confront him, it was Westbrook who faced him.
Westbrook saw Wade looking like he was trying to eat him, and his defensive level also improved.
Master West has never rubbed sand in his eyes. His physical fitness is as good as that of Wade when he was young. Although his single defense experience still needs to be strengthened, his physical fitness and enthusiasm immediately caught up with Wade.
Wade failed to break through the defense in one fell swoop. He stopped at the free throw line and took a jump shot... Bang!
Basketball blacksmithing.
Blake Griffin won the rebound and passed it long to Fanshie.
Fan Xi ran wildly with the ball, and the Western team's speed increased instantly.
When Fanci rushed to the frontcourt, he passed the basketball directly to the corner without any hesitation, and Kevin Love just ran over.
Love received the basketball and shot a three-pointer... Wow!
It was easy to get in.
Love has three-point shooting ability.
"Let them go one-on-one to consume their energy." Chris Paul suddenly approached D'Antoni and suggested to D'Antoni: "Next, Kobe and I will not play. The Heat vs. Clippers will be beneficial to us.
.”
Paul is a top point guard, and top point guards have very smart minds. Can he see that the current situation has undergone a fundamental reversal? The Heat and the Clippers are competing. No matter who loses or wins, the Lakers will benefit.
The All-Star Game is originally a window for star players to rest. Since they want a tough battle at the playoff level, let's fight it.
That's what Paul thought.
But what he didn't know was that even if he didn't say so, D'Antoni would never replace Paul or Kobe again.
Because, as a run and gun coach, he couldn't wait to see what Fan Xi and this lineup could do.
Fan Xi's fast break just now was so amazing. This defensive counterattack caught the Eastern All-Stars off guard.
Fan Xi, Master Wei, Master Du, Griffin, Le Fu.
Can the league find a more top-notch run-and-gun combo than this?
D'Antoni was ecstatic.
At the same time, the Eastern Conference All-Stars were pressed down and fucked three times in a row, and they couldn't keep their face. LeBron James took over the ball and wanted to seek justice for his brother.
Facing Kevin Durant's defense, James strode forward, used his strength to push away Durant, and drove to the basket. After attracting Griffin to help defend, James passed the basketball to Bosh, who did not dare to go up again.
He jumped up and used the basket to make a backhand layup.
Whoosh!
Arrested immediately.
The Heat's combination gave them a goal back.
Immediately, Griffin served quickly, and Fanshey increased the rhythm. He quickly reached the frontcourt, and then passed Deron like a wooden stake, attracting James to move and pass the basketball to Kevin Durant.
Durant took the shot comfortably and calmly... Wow!
Very efficient.
"This is the competition of top basketball."
Kenny Smith said excitedly on TV.
The fans also enjoy watching it.
There is a very focused defense, but what more shows is the calmness of top stars under high-intensity pressure.
LeBron James and Spoelstra had a fight, the Eastern team replaced Deron Williams with Derrick Rose, and the center was also replaced by Joakim Noah from Stoudemire.
This is a combination of the two best teams in the Eastern Conference.
Bulls plus Miami.
The fans in front of the TV were cheering and it was worth the price of admission.
Everyone originally thought that this was just an ordinary All-Star game, just like in previous years, they played peacefully until the last few minutes, and then everyone played a few symbolic rounds, and finally happily selected the player with the best statistics.
all star mvp.
Does it make sense?
Maybe, but not much.
Now, since Fan Xi came on the scene, the two sides have directly engaged in bayonets.
If you throw in the three Lakers players, it will be a melee among the seeded teams in the finals.
Derrick Rose dribbled the ball to half court, and James followed him and communicated tactics with him. He covered his mouth when he spoke, obviously not wanting the camera to read his lips.
Derrick Rose called on Joakim Noah, and he made a fierce attack from the left. When Rose called for a screen, Fanci couldn't stop him, so he could only fall one step behind and catch up.
But after Rose entered the paint area, he jumped directly, his body moved like a monkey in the forest, and then he pulled himself up from the cracks in the crowd, attracting all the attention.
Just when everyone thought he was going to complete a split dunk like he used to do, he passed the basketball down, Chris Bosh was completely open, and he quickly shot the basketball... Wow!
Easy hit.
Rose's breakthrough ball is simply an explosion in the center. His aggressiveness attracts three defenses from the Western Conference All-Stars. Then, he chooses to distribute the ball. As long as Chris Bosh is not an idiot, he can put the basketball in.
basket.
"too difficult."
Charles Barkley lamented: "No one in history can withstand the attack of three outstanding attackers, Rose, Wade and James, at the same time."
And this is also the highlight of the game.
Master Wei quickly sent the basketball to Fan Xi. Fan Xi increased his rhythm. He was still running and gunning. His rhythm was super fast.
When he rushed to the frontcourt, he didn't even meet Rose. He took a European step, shook Rose away, and threw the basketball to the basket between Wade and Joakim Noah. Blake Griffin jumped up...
…boom!
Complete the dunk.
The offensive in the west was also fierce.
Fans are in for a treat: this is the real All-Star battle.
The fans in the Amway Center Arena were still shouting: mvp! mvp! mvp!
They still firmly shouted for Fan Xi.
It looks quite popular.
"You can't win tonight, Jack. When the Heat and Bulls are fighting together, even if you call Jordan Kobe, it will be useless."
James covered his mouth and talked trash to Fan Xi when he returned to defense.
He said it with certainty.
But sneaky.
Fan Xi glanced at him and said, "Why are you covering your mouth when you speak? You are scared, you are scared, you are afraid of being caught and slapped in the face by the whole world, so you only dare to show your self-esteem secretly."
"Poor, our chosen one is so pitiful."
Fan Xi said regretfully, he really felt sorry for James.
This true sympathy and disdain hurt James deeply.
James' sensitive pride was burned.
The anger on his face was clear, and his eyes became murderous.
Even the effort in chewing gum is increasing.
When he came to the frontcourt, he immediately took the basketball from Rose. Then, he took long strides, cut in like a tank, and forced the basketball into Kevin Love's defense.
There were some cheers in the stadium.
It must be said that James' personal ability is super strong.
Once he charges, there's almost nothing you can do to stop him.
He has unique physical talents.
"LeBron is like me in the paint. Those who are faster than me are not as fast as me, those who are faster than me are not as fast as me, those who are faster than me are not as good as me, and no one is stronger than me... In fact, there is no one at all.
People are stronger than me."
O'Neal appeared on TV to explain.
There is no doubt that O'Neal is a big bug in the NBA. He is a cheater due to his pure physical fitness. He is out of position for anyone he hits. The same goes for James. In fact, Kevin Durant also counts. Durant has the height and wingspan of a center.
But he has the speed and agility of a guard and his unparalleled shooting touch.
Others on the court, such as Rose, Westbrook, Fanci, Wade, etc., are all within the normal range, but their physical fitness is outstanding in the same position.
After James scored.
The Western team's problem has become very serious, that is, their defense in the paint is very loose.
They couldn't resist the impact of the three major assault masters. Just such a sudden attack could kill the Western Conference All-Stars.
"The Lakers won't come to rescue you at all, they will just watch you being eaten up by us bite by bite."
After James scored, he ran to Fan Xi again, covered his mouth and talked trash.
James has always been cautious in his life.
Such people will never forget to avoid risks even when their emotions are at their highest.
Therefore, any success James achieves will not be surprising.
Fan Xi did not talk nonsense to James, he took the ball to the frontcourt.
Derrick Rose swooped up.
Rose is also a physical defender, and his individual defense ability is on par with Westbrook's.
Fan Xi didn't get into too much trouble with him, and Griffin came up to cover him.
Then the two lines went down quickly. At this time, Griffin had a very good chance to make a shot, but Fanxi did not pass the ball. He still did not want to expose his full strength at this time.
He turned around, handed the basketball to Kevin Durant, and used his back to help him block James.
Durant raised the knife and dropped it... Whoosh!
A long two-point hit.
Durant is already a leader among superstars, and many people once liked to compare him with former superstar Tracy McGrady.
However, Durant's current strength has surpassed that of McGrady at his peak. McGrady is a very good scorer. He has won two scoring titles, but Durant is the kind of person who can win as many scoring titles as he wants.
The scoring champion only needs to be on that Magic team. Durant's passing may not be as good as McGrady, but in other aspects, especially his scoring ability at critical moments, Durant is far better than McGrady.
After changing sides, Wade attacked the penalty area. Although he was interfered by Westbrook, he also caused a foul on Kevin Love and went to the free throw line.
When Wade steps to the free throw line.
Fan Xi turned his head and glanced at the Western Team bench.
He believes D'Antoni should be replaced by a center with better defense, such as Dwight Howard.
However, the Western Conference bench was calm.
Perhaps, James is right.
Fan Xi took a deep breath. He was a strong man. He never relied on external help. Since he could only fight alone, he would go to the Hushan Mountain.
Whoosh!
Whoosh!
Wade hit two consecutive free throws.
The moment he hit the ball, Griffin quickly caught the ball and passed it to Fanshie.
Fan Xi ran wildly with the ball. He rushed to the three-point line, quickly started a pick-and-roll with Kevin Love, and entered the paint area. Suddenly he looked back at the moon and passed the basketball outside the three-point line. Kevin Love caught the ball and took aim.
Shot... hit.
Although Love is weak in protecting the frame, standing outside the three-point line is a stable fortress.
Joakim Noah can't defend either.
The lineup of the Western team also has its own uniqueness. Although it is not the three-arrow assault style of the Eastern team, it can still be used inside and outside, with assault, projection, and air strike capabilities.
Both sides went back and forth and played high-quality offensive rounds.
The third quarter of the game ended with a heated exchange between the two sides.
105:102.
The Eastern team went to the bench with a 3-point lead.
"I think the East can win, but the West can't always be so accurate. Whoever can control the basket can control the victory. The closer to the basket, the higher the offensive success rate. This is the truest truth on the court." Shaquille O'Neal said
Said during a pause between sessions.
"I agree with Shaq." Charles Barkley rarely sides with O'Neal.
Kenny Smith still chose to believe in Fan Xi: "I think Jack may not be able to create miracles. After all, he has always been good at this thing."
"It depends on whether D'Antoni can arrange new helpers for him. If they have Kobe and Howard, I think they will still be able to fight." Shaquille O'Neal stopped here.
Then, he shouted: "Hey, what's going on? Didn't Spicy Chicken say she doesn't like Jack Fan?"
