Fan Xi's shot in the double attack finally missed.
He would have had a chance to pass the ball if Ron Artest had been in the right spot and if Pau Gasol had been more focused on the game.
However, neither of them focused on the game itself when Vanchy had the ball.
Looking back...shua!
Devin Harris scored for the first time in a sports game. He passed the cover of Brock Lopez, quickly entered the paint area, and hit the basketball into the basket under the defense of Pau Gasol.
"You're finished. Even your teammates won't help you. How can you fight with me?"
After Devin Harris scored, he turned around and trash-talked Fanci.
He was very capable of ridicule and sarcasm, and his face was full of villainy.
"Aren't you calling timeout yet?"
"It's not fair to Van," Kenny Smith said in the live television booth.
"What's unfair about this? If Fan wants to be a hero, then support him." Charles Barkley said sourly.
What he said is very unobjective.
Because even Selina, who doesn't understand football at all, was making aggrieved sounds: "Why? Why does that ugly guy have so many teammates helping him, but Jack is always bullied by two or even three others?"
Taylor Swift, who was sitting next to him, was also very angry. She said angrily: "I feel like Jack is playing against nine."
Most fans in front of the TV also have this concept.
But Fan Xi didn't give up.
At this time, his good brother Matt Barnes stood up and stood in front of Fan Xi. He gave up his original tactical movement and rushed directly to the top of the three-point line. He risked being taken care of.
The coach risked scolding Fansie for blocking Terrence's attack.
Fancy passed Devin Harris with a clean back turn... Harris has always been known for his inability to defend. Fancy, who has peak Iverson's speed, agility and peak Kemp's explosiveness, passed him like a choke.
An ant dies.
Whoosh!
Fanshie hit a shot from beyond the three-point line.
After the goal, he stared at Devin Harris with cold eyes. "Is this what you call dead?"
By the way, I also glanced at Ron Artest and Pau Gasol.
Gasol avoided it with a guilty conscience.
Ron Artest, on the other hand, looked at Fan Xi like he was not afraid of boiling water. He looked at Fan Xi as if he had done nothing wrong and was not afraid of ghosts knocking on his door.
"Barnes didn't take the correct offensive route just now." Old Winter said to Phil Jackson next to him.
"I saw it." Phil Jackson smiled and nodded: "I'm very happy to see this scene happen."
Old Winter was stunned at first. Phil Jackson has always been very strict with players' movements. If they basically move in the wrong position, he will be thrown to the bench and even freeze a few games. But now, he is uncharacteristically different.
Old Winter thought for a while and smiled.
"But this still doesn't solve the problem."
Kobe Bryant in front of the TV muttered to himself.
He didn't expect that Fanshie would actually let Matt Barnes take such a big risk and blatantly violate the coach's tactical intentions to help him in less than a month on the court.
This shows that this guy is very popular.
Kobe Bryant lamented that when he first entered the league, his popularity was not very good, and he was not liked by the big brothers in the locker room. Later, as he gradually became famous and became the core of the team, he was not popular in the locker room.
A leader, because he always treats himself and his teammates with a super strict attitude. His teammates fear him more than are loyal to him, let alone be friends with him. He has made only a handful of friends in his career for so many years.
So, he was a little moved.
Also a little surprised.
In the blink of an eye, Devin Harris assisted Brook Lopez in the frontcourt to complete a penalty area attack.
Looking back, Fanci tried to cooperate with Gasol. But Gasol did not follow the tactical line.
And Lamar Odom even failed to follow the tactical line.
Odom became the second person to go against the established tactical line. He was supposed to go around the baseline, but he directly went to the high position.
He provided a screen for Fan Xi, and Fan Xi rushed into the paint area, attracting a flank attack. He hit the ground and passed out immediately.
Matt Barnes, who came in diagonally from one side, took off the ball and dunked directly!
boom!
After Barnes completed the dunk, he roared when he landed.
He proudly pointed his finger at Fan Xi.
The voice in his heart was: Look, this is my brother. He is worth tens of millions of annual salary!
The fans in front of the TV were also very relieved at this time.
"What the three of them played is not any tactic in our playbook." Steve Blake suddenly complained on the bench.
Unexpectedly, the old coach Winter asked him back: "Isn't this good? Jack can adapt and create his own tactics. Doesn't it mean that he is worth tens of millions?"
Steve Blake gagged at the question.
The game continues.
The isolation that basketball experts predicted did not materialize.
Charles Barkley was stunned in the live broadcast room.
The triangle formed by Fanci, Lamar Odom, and Matt Barnes quickly formed a fighting group that began to take shape.
If they encounter strong teams like the Spurs, Celtics, and Heat, it will be difficult for them to have any effect. Even facing a mid-level team like New York will be very difficult. However, the Nets are a weak team.
.
This gives the three of them a great role to play.
Fanci's touch was also very hot tonight, coupled with Odom's screen and Barnes' interweaving, forming a trinity of attacking capabilities.
The first quarter ended at 28:26.
Instead, the Lakers led by 2 points.
Fan Xi scored 15 points, 4 assists, 2 rebounds and 1 steal in the first quarter.
Even though Devin Harris was in the right place at the right time, he still only had 8 points and 2 assists. He had no rebounds and no steals but made 3 turnovers.
It can be said that he was completely crushed by Fan Xi.
but.
Kenny Smith said seriously before the end of the first quarter: "In terms of personal strength, Fanshie has undoubtedly surpassed Devin Harris. However, the problem he faces now is that he only has two willing
Helping his teammates, and it looked like the world was on Devin Harris' side."
"Sooner or later, young general Johnson will find a way to break their trio. He is a famous coach who has reached the finals. This matter will not be difficult for him."
"But how will Fan Xi face this situation?"
Kenny Smith is worried.
His words made the fans in front of the TV very worried.
More than 80% of the fans support Fan Xi. They see the "realization of dreams" and the "possibility of counterattack" in Fan Xi.
However, the world is cruel after all. Why does a little guy with an annual salary of tens of millions receive so much criticism? Even his teammates target him, holding him back and wanting to see his jokes.
The audience stepped in and felt unhappy.
Kobe Bryant was nervous and embarrassed, and he was sad that this happened.
at the same time.
Phil Jackson made only one change, replacing Ron Artest with Luke Walton.
He didn't explain anything else.
He left everything to Fan Xi.
This is his final test for Fan Xi.
Phil Jackson is the top head coach, he is very good at discovering superstars...no, he should be the historical superstars who dominate the league.
When he was with the Chicago Bulls, he made Michael Jordan become the first player in history to dominate the league as a guard. He also helped him activate Dennis Rodman to become the strongest second-choice player in history. He also made Dennis Rodman, who had an unruly personality, willing to play for
Jordan rebounds.
When he was in Los Angeles, Shaquille O'Neal rose from a young shark in Florida to a super overlord who dominated the league. Shaquille O'Neal won three championship trophies and Finals MVP with the Lakers, surpassing Ola at the center position.
Juwang's man. If O'Neal works a little harder and controls his body a little, he will have no problem winning two more championships. In fact, he has every chance to become the number one center in NBA history.
As the Sharks traveled east and the team was reorganized, Phil Jackson made Kobe Bryant a phoenix, evolving from the second-leading scorer in history to a more terrifying existence. Since 2008, he has reached the Finals three times and won the championship twice.
The champion won the finals mvp twice.
Now, he will focus his scrutiny on Fan Xi.
This game became his test for Fan Xi.
He wanted to see Fan Xi's character and how intense the energy burst out under heavy pressure.
In this way, we can determine whether Fan Xi will become Robin next to Batman in the future or become the real Batman.
Therefore, he deliberately said nothing and gave no instructions.
Beep!
The whistle blows and the game continues.
Ron Artest's dismissal has made the team's operation a little smoother to a certain extent.
Although Luke Walton, who comes from a famous family, is also jealous of Fanci's salary, he is not as stubborn as Artest. He will still appear on the right route and make the right choice as possible.
This has been a great help to Fan Xi.
but.
The Nets finally came to their senses.
After all, young general Johnson is a famous coach in the Mesozoic era, and his tactical literacy is very strong. He found the key to limiting the Lakers' current style of play... It is not difficult for five people to defend three and a half people.
Fanci was still flanked, and Brook Lopez often ran over to intercept Matt Barnes' movement with great fanfare, without having to worry about Gasol behind him.
Fanci and the Lakers struggled in the second quarter.
But Fan Xi still relied on his strong personal strength and hot touch to score 9 points in the second quarter.
He has already scored 24 points.
However, the team fell behind by 3 points 42:45.
The Nets are getting better, and Devin Harris also relied on the cover of his teammates to score 10 points in the second quarter.
The performance of both parties seems to show a 'death cross' trend.
After the midfield whistle sounded, Devin Harris triumphantly spat out trash: "Do you think there are any tricks you haven't used yet? You're done!"
This is the nth time in this game that Harris has announced that Fanshie is finished.
All previous attempts failed.
But this time, he was very confident. He believed that Fan Xi was unable to make a comeback.
Both the Nets and he have completely taken the initiative.
Yes.
As the most die-hard Fanshie supporter, Kenny Smith couldn't help but feel disheartened at this time. He said: "Family has reached a desperate situation. As a point guard, he has used all his skills and he can't get the whole team."
It's sad that the Lakers didn't rally around him."
"And his physical fitness cannot support him to continue to fight alone. I think the Lakers may replace him in order to win and replace him with a player who is better able to win."
"Fairy tales are fake after all. When a person wants to fly into the sky, someone will always hold him back."
"Charles, you may win. But, are you happy about winning?"
Kenny Smith asked Barkley seriously.
Buckley said he was happy.
But in fact, he was unhappy in his heart.
He thought it was boring to win like this.
He just couldn't say it.
…
"Jake performed very well. He was very resilient. He did not beg for mercy. He did not beg for mercy or compromise with Gasol or other uncooperative teammates."
When Winter Sr. and Phil Jackson returned to the locker room, they walked at the back.
They were discussing Fanci's performance tonight.
Old Winter's words made Phil Jackson nod repeatedly.
Phil Jackson also felt that it was time to end this test.
So far, as the old Winter said, Fanshie's test results are qualified or even close to excellent. He has the toughness, tenacity and perseverance required by a star.
It's just...Phil Jackson still feels that there is a little bit missing, something that cannot be explained.
However, it has become a foregone conclusion that Fan Xi will be trained as the core in the future, and he will definitely become the most powerful assistant around Kobe Bryant.
This is what Phil Jackson was thinking before he walked into the locker room.
However, when he walked into the locker room, his thoughts suddenly changed drastically.
because,
Fan Xi, an undrafted player, a pure rookie who joined the Lakers less than a month ago.
After he returned to the locker room, he did not choose to remain silent when most of the team did not unite with him.
Instead, before the head coach returned to the locker room, he walked directly to the center of the locker room and pointed at Ron Artest and Pau Gasol.
"I know what you are thinking?"
He looked around at all the other players in the locker room.
"You think I shouldn't get the tens of millions of annual salary, and I shouldn't get the salary you never got."
"But what can you change?"
"In addition to biting my trouser legs like stray dogs and drooling unwillingly, what will happen next?"
"I'm still going to get every penny I deserve."
"You just want me to make a fool of myself, embarrass myself, and act like I don't deserve my 10 million annual salary. But ask yourself, can you do it?"
"If I want to score 40 or 50 points tonight, will it be difficult?"
"I just care about face and don't want to embarrass you."
"I took 30 shots and scored 50 points. I will still be popular. What about you? You will be condemned for your poor behavior and despised by everyone. You will be changed beyond recognition because of your jealousy and resentment."
"Next, I only need my teammates to fight with me. If you don't want to, you can raise your hands now and say it's you or me."
"I will never stop you!"
Fan Xi dropped these words indifferently.
Phil Jackson stood in awe at the door.
His entire old body seemed to be on fire.
He finally found it!
Finally found the little thing that was missing.
He already understood that Fanci was not the Robin next to Batman, and he was not the second-in-command next to Kobe.
