Chapter 43 The Powerful Touchstone: The Flash Wade
Taylor Swift is a super female singer who became popular at the end of last year. Her albums have sold well all over the world and she has won awards at many award ceremonies.
She is said to be expected to become the fourth truly global superstar in the history of the American music scene: the first three are Michael Jackson, Madonna and Britney Spears in the late 1990s and early 21st century.
So, when she showed up in Miami, it naturally sparked a lot of discussion.
"Taylor Swift should have come to see LeBron James. They filmed a commercial together in New York last month. The most popular little diva in the music world and the most popular basketball superstar in our basketball circle, if they are in
Together, they are truly an imaginative couple." The famous commentator Mike Breen said on the ESPN live broadcast station to the North American audience watching the game.
espn and tnt are the top two sports channels in the United States, and espn has a greater influence and radiation range.
Their ace commentator is Mike Breen, an old white man who has been in the commentating industry for more than 40 years. He is a very "following the crowd" commentator. He always praises the superstars highly, but also praises ordinary rotation players.
Role players rarely give recognition.
"It's a pity that Taylor Swift doesn't like LeBron."
Sitting next to him is Reggie Miller.
They are a combination of "eccentric and humorous". McBreen is responsible for praising those superstars, and Reggie Miller is responsible for making venomous remarks.
Reggie Miller is the best shooter in NBA history. His growth experience is legendary enough. He was born with polio, but he became a professional player with amazing perseverance. When he was a child, his sister was also a well-known ESPN player.
Sideline reporter Cheryl Miller often lectured him in singles.
The torture of women allowed him to learn new tricks, and his mouth became even louder than women's. His trash talk became famous after he entered the league. He always had an explosive temper and could not control his emotions.
Players he once drove crazy include Gary Payton, who is known for his sharp tongue, New York's best sixth man Starks, Scottie Pippen, and... young Tracy McGrady and young Kobe Bryant.
Kobe Bryant even punched him on the court because he lost his mind... Unfortunately, both punches missed.
Therefore, when the TV station invited him to work in the commentary box, it was definitely a matter of discernment.
This is also the reason why ESPN's ratings have always been higher than TNT.
Before the game even started, he started taunting him. "With Taylor Swift's income level, there is absolutely no need for her to embarrass herself and date a man who is so strong that he is not human. I am not denying LeBron's masculine charm, but if
I am a woman, and I am a woman who is not short of fame and money. My date must be...Jack! Yes, the three-pointer boy from the Lakers."
Reggie Miller said: "I see in him the handsome shadow of my youth...I mean the feeling when shooting."
McBrin was a little depressed. He said unconvinced: "Any normal woman would choose LeBron instead of that pretty boy Jack Fan. Although he has played many good games, he is still a rookie after all. Tonight is the battle between Kobe and LeBron.
Brown’s Showdown.”
Reggie Miller was too lazy to discuss this issue with him. He sarcastically said: "You, an old guy who has lived without a last name for twenty years, don't worry about the contemporary young women's views on spouse selection. You can be Taylor's grandfather."
"..."
McBrin was habitually speechless when he was scolded.
At this time, players from both sides walked onto the court. When LeBron James came on the court, he went to say hello to Taylor Swift.
The fist bumps between the two made some deliberate noises from the fans at the scene.
Humans are all gossips.
At the same time, Fanci walked onto the court with his head lowered, his eyes were on his opponent Mario Chalmers.
Beep!
As the referee blew the whistle, Pau Gasol and Ilgauskas took off at the same time.
Ilgauskas, nicknamed Big Z, had been the center of the Cavaliers before. He was LeBron James' guard during his growth process. When James switched to the Heat, he followed him.
In his prime, at 2.21cm tall, he could be considered an All-Star.
But now he has basically no athletic ability, and only his height remains on the court.
Snapped!
Pau Gasol relaxed his arms and handed the basketball to Fan Xi.
Fan Xi received the basketball and immediately advanced with the ball steadily.
When Fanci came to the frontcourt, just when everyone thought Fanci would pass the basketball to Kobe, Kobe made a move to let Fanci play in singles.
This scene even exceeded Flash Wade's expectations.
Before this, every time he and Kobe played against each other, it was always the first round of singles with Kobe holding the ball.
Tonight, Kobe let the rookie handle the ball.
Is it because he has not recovered from his injury?
Dwyane Wade was very confused at the same time.
Fan Xi suddenly changed direction, and his figure was like a drawn scimitar, or like a cheetah coming towards the face... Bang!
The basketball changed direction sharply in front of him, and his body followed suit.
crossover!
Mario Chalmers couldn't react.
Fan Xi passed him like lightning and rushed into the paint area with overwhelming force.
His surging explosive power and fierce speed made him reach the penalty area in an instant, and jumped up to face Ilgauskas. Big Z quickly covered the defense.
However, he didn't expect Fan Xi to rub directly against him and then take action.
Fanci cleverly took advantage of Ilgauskas's limited mobility... forcefully causing him to foul, beep!
The referee blew the whistle and Fan Xi's basketball also hit the basket.
twenty one.
Fanci scored a goal of great strategic significance in the opening game.
"That's how smart he is," Winter said to Phil Jackson.
Phil Jackson nodded with satisfaction.
He has no pursuit of the outcome of this game. Because even if Kobe Bryant comes back, the Big Three at home still have a big advantage. Their power cannot be resisted by Kobe alone. His expectation for this game is
Fan Xi continues to gain experience in this game because it is a tough battle.
A tough battle can test a player's upper limit.
Fan Xi just quickly passed the defense and went into the paint to find Big Z for a foul. His play was very smart. He captured the fleeting opportunity and did not let the Big Three get involved. Instead, he singled out the two weakest members of the Heat.
players.
A middle-class horse kills two low-class horses.
Therefore, Old Winter said he was smart.
At this time, Dwyane Wade showed his fierceness.
Facing Matt Barnes' defense, he also used a crossover, and was obviously more aggressive than Fancy. Although Wade had a serious knee injury, his speed and explosiveness are still top-notch, and his coordination ability is better than
Fan Xi is much stronger, plus he has upper body strength that far exceeds Fan Xi.
Therefore, he completed a crossover that was almost flying close to the ground. Even though Matt Barnes was highly focused, he still couldn't defend it.
Moreover, after Wade passed by Barnes, he rushed directly into the penalty area and then bounced high.
He did not use tricks like Fan Xi, but collided head-on with Lamar Odom in the air. Under the influence of super strength, bounce, and explosive power, Lamar Odom was suppressed... Boom!
Wade completed an incredible dunk.
The Miami Airlines Arena erupted in an instant, with all the fans shouting Wade's name under the guidance of the on-site DJ.
The morale at home is extremely high.
Wade raised his right hand domineeringly and said his most famous words: this-is-my-house!
This is my territory.
This shows the power of the superstar.
The Flash ignored Lamar Odom who was held under him in the roaring tsunami, but looked at Fan Xi with burning eyes.
His eyes clearly said: Boy, you are still young.
Wade uses the same moves as Fan Xi, but his strength is undoubtedly two levels higher than Fan Xi.
This is superstar territory.
Old Winter on the sidelines was a little worried. He was worried that Fan Xi would be afraid of this and would be unable to move forward.
However, he soon saw Fan Xi staring at Wade with firm eyes.
Wade himself didn't expect it.
He didn't expect that Fan Xi not only wasn't timid, but instead stared at him with challenging eyes that were neither humble nor arrogant, even a little excited.
This kid...does he regard me as an imaginary enemy?
Fancy patted Lamar Odom on the back, then took the ball from Matt Barnes, who regrouped the offense.
These little moves of his were accurately captured by Reggie Miller in the commentary box.
At this time, his partner Mike Breen was bragging about the bravery of Flash Wade: "This is definitely the top of the five best goals tonight. Wade is Wade. He used the exact same moves to produce ten times the violent results."
.This is the difference between a rookie and a superstar."
Fanshie came to the frontcourt and Mario Chalmers strengthened the defense.
At this time, Kobe Bryant blocked Wade with his back, and Fanci quickly passed the basketball.
The moment Fanci passed the ball, he took advantage of the moment when Mario Chalmers was relaxed and suddenly broke through his defense and headed towards the penalty area.
Kobe seemed to have eyes in the back of his head, and he threw the ball backwards knowingly. Fan Xi caught the basketball just in time and went straight to the basket.
This move secretly deceived Chen Cang and deceived Miami's entire defense. People did not expect Kobe to pass the ball, nor did they expect Fan Xi to be so agile.
Chris Bosh had to quickly move up and make a blocking gesture.
Unexpectedly, when Fanxi received the basketball, he just took one step inward and then passed it to Lamar Odom on the side.
Odom was completely open. He grabbed the basketball, took a step inward, and jumped high... Boom!
He completed the counterattack with a two-handed dunk.
Get back your previous face.
After scoring the goal, he let out a venting roar.
The resentment he felt after being detained just now was finally able to be vented.
Then, he looked at Fan Xi gratefully.
Fanci's smooth assist brought Lamar Odom closer to him.
"Leadership."
Reggie Miller said to the national audience in the commentary box.
McBreen, who was sitting next to him, didn't react and asked him: "You mean Lamar Odom?"
"No, I mean Jack Van." Reggie Miller said full of praise: "Fan's pass not only reflects his excellent vision and court coordination ability, but also reflects that he is a player who understands the world.
He calmly helped his teammates get back on the court. If you were Lamar Odom, would you be grateful to him? Would you cooperate with him in his actions in the future?"
"This is something that many superstars lack, especially Kobe Bryant. So, I say Jack has leadership style."
Reggie Miller’s heartfelt praise.
McBreen stared at him with incredible eyes: "Are you crazy? Reggie. You mean, that rookie is the leader of the Lakers? Don't be ridiculous, he doesn't deserve to stand at the center of the stage in this game.
Didn't you see that ball just now? Wade blasted it from the inside out. Tonight is the stage for Chris Bosh, Dwyane Wade, LeBron James, Kobe Bryant and Pau Gasol.
.”
"I can guarantee that as long as Wade faces that rookie, that rookie will be easily destroyed!"
As McBreen spoke... snap!
Mario Chalmers made a passing error under the pressure of Fanci, and the basketball was intercepted by Fanci.
"The scene you are looking forward to will happen soon."
Reggie Miller said with raised eyebrows.
Sure enough, Wade walked towards Fan Xi.
He stood in front of this rookie who was in the spotlight.
Every one of the fans in the stadium became excited and they roared hard.
They hope that Wade can kill Fanci's recent unstoppable limelight, and it is best to let this miracle son completely fall in Miami.
Fanci stopped at the top of the three-point arc, and Wade stopped immediately.
Dwyane Wade's height is not much different from Fanci's, and both have amazing wingspans, but... Wade's body is much thicker than Fanci's.
Moreover, Wade's coordination talent, jumping talent...etc. are stronger than Fan Xi's.
"I heard that you are very proud of yourself recently, breaking several records in a row? Have you ever thought about how many moves you can withstand under my defense?"
Wade asked Fan Xi interestingly.
Fan Xi opened her mouth and was about to answer.
But he found that Wade was being oppressed because of his lack of martial ethics. Moreover, he was still saying: Don't be too stupid in the NBA.
Fan Xi was caught off guard.
Wade, who has no martial ethics, came in a very turbulent manner.
Fan Xi immediately felt the real intimidation, but he did not panic, he completed the dribble calmly... Bang!
He accelerated at a 45-degree angle, which was a clever starting point for the attack.
But Wade only adjusted his pace slightly and turned sideways to suppress Fanshi's offensive line.
Fanshie made a prompt decision and quickly used a behind-the-back dribble. He hoped to use this as a basis to change direction and pass Wade's defense.
But unexpectedly, Fan Xi had just finished dribbling from behind, but his body had not yet followed up.
Wade used his amazing coordination ability to make a beautiful lateral move...through the past.
Fan Xi's route was blocked again, and at this time, Wade used his powerful body to crush him. He used his strength to force Fan Xi... Fan Xi had to retreat.
Fan Xi has no way out.
He had no choice but to suddenly make a shoulder-raising shooting motion, which attracted Wade's attention for a moment, and quickly passed the basketball from his side...the basketball broke away from the encirclement and passed to Kobe's hands.
But at this time, Fan Xi was further pressed by Wade and staggered back two or three steps before he stabilized his position.
I have to say that Fan Xi was a little embarrassed at this time.
The gap between him and the superstars is still visible to the naked eye.
Old Winter looked at Fan Xi with concern.
But at this moment Fan Xi raised his head with burning eyes.
Full of fighting spirit.
Wade is a powerful touchstone in his eyes.
He wants to hone the fastest knife on Wade.
He reviewed the attack and defense just now in his mind, and he believed that he could do better if he tried it again.
But at this time, he didn't know...Taylor Swift on the sidelines had already clenched her fists for him, and her whole heart was hanging in the air.
She couldn't wait to rush forward and help Fan Xi fight.
