At the beginning of the fourth quarter, neither side allowed all the main players to play. Both sides realized that this was a tough battle and the main players needed rest time.
The Lakers' former starting point guard Steve Blake finally got the opportunity he had dreamed of, and he hit consecutive shots under the defense of Mario Chalmers.
His outstanding performance provided a cushion for the Lakers, who took the lead in the first two minutes of the fourth quarter, but the balance of power was tipped as the Heat put LeBron James on the court.
The Lakers' rotation could not withstand James' fierce firepower, and the points were quickly recovered. Phil Jackson quickly replaced the two main players, Pau Gasol and Lamar Odom.
The Miami Heat replaced Chris Bosh and Dwyane Wade in the fourth and fifth minutes.
Kobe Bryant came on the court at the fourth and a half minute when Chris Bosh forced a foul on Lamar Odom.
The reason why Fanshie did not play was partly because Steve Blake played well and he assured the bench: I can definitely withstand the pressure.
On the other hand, it is because Fanshi's physical problems have become prominent. In the previous games, he has not experienced such high-intensity offense and defense. He played the whole three quarters of the game, and in the third quarter, he fought against superstar Wade. This level of
The consumption was something he had never experienced before.
Seeing him sitting on the bench panting, Phil Jackson decided to give him more time to rest.
For Zen Master, Fan Xi's health is far more important than winning this game.
Fanci was sitting on the bench, quietly observing the game from another angle. James was still as aggressive as fire, and Dwyane Wade was still as strong as a dragon.
However, he feels that the two of them have not formed a real chemical reaction. They are still leading the team at the talent level, and the Miami Heat have not yet established a real tactical system.
Therefore, he thought he could start by interrupting the connection between them.
It's just...who can do the job?
Fan Xi looked around and saw that no one on the Lakers bench could take on this important task.
The game is running at a fast pace.
Steve Blake is a stable point guard, but he was fooled tonight. He was eager to express himself, and he still hoped to impress the coaching staff with his performance. He even had a little luck, and he felt that he was still
Can win back his status in the eyes of head coach Phil Jackson.
From beginning to end, he never really thought that Fan Xi was stronger than him. He thought that Fan Xi was just lucky.
At the beginning, his touch was really good.
However, when the Heat recalled Mario Chalmers to the bench, Dwyane Wade was moved to the point guard position.
Steve Blake's little push immediately turned into a pointless struggle.
Wade directly stole him once, and on the second possession, when he shot from the three-point line...POP!
The Flash slapped his shot back into the frontcourt with a condescending slap. The entire American Airlines Center was inspired by this volleyball smash, and the morale of the home team reached its peak.
After completing the dunk, Wade proudly showed off his muscles to the audience and looked at Fan Xi on the sidelines with provocative eyes.
It just so happened that Phil Jackson also called Fan Xi's name.
Fan Xi quickly took off his coat and walked to the court.
At this time, there are still 5 minutes left before the end of the game. The Miami Heat, sitting at home, are leading by 4 points and are very powerful!
Fan Xi came on stage with a sense of 'taking orders in times of crisis'.
Fans in front of the TV are hoping to turn the tide, and people are looking forward to Fanci being able to create miracles again.
"If Fanci can continue to perform in this game, I swear, I will call on all my relatives and friends to vote for him. He deserves an All-Star position."
Reggie Miller was on television actively campaigning for Vance.
Many viewers in front of the TV think so too.
To North American audiences, Fanci is like the leading actor in a heroic epic. Everyone expects him to continue to grow and create miracles.
Everyone maintains a high sense of participation and expectation in his journey from 'zero-too-hero'.
Because his starting point was too low, an undrafted player, everyone watched him step by step from a 10-day short-term contract and hoped that he could go further.
For domestic fans on the other side of the ocean, Fan Xi is now the hero who carries all expectations. Everyone hopes that he can represent yellow skin and become famous in the NBA. Although he is already legendary enough, why can't he be more legendary?
"Are you here to get blocked too? Little guy." Wade said to Fanshie when he walked onto the court: "I just studied your weird shot. If you dare to shoot like that, I will definitely let you
Every ball enjoys the humiliation of being blocked."
"Yes, I swear."
Wade also emphasized it again.
Fanshi ignored him and started running quickly. He used Odom's screen to avoid his tracking and caught the basketball from Kobe who was serving out of bounds.
Then, he quickly broke through to the penalty area, and Wade crushed him. His strong upper body strength made Fan Xi's pace slow down.
Damn the loss of physical strength is also the reason why Fan Xi is no longer so fast at the moment.
However, Fanshi's control of the rhythm was still precise. He suddenly stopped and took advantage of Wade's pause in reaction to pass the basketball to Kobe Bryant on the other side.
When Bryant received the basketball, Fan Xi suddenly made an impact inward... Kobe passed the basketball in again... This was a beautiful wall-hitting coordination.
Both Wade and James were kept in the dark.
Fan Xi crossed the defense and reached the penalty area in an instant.
Haslem quickly came over to defend.
However, Fan Xi did not shoot or shoot inward, but passed the basketball out again.
Kobe Bryant withdrew from the three-point line when James and Wade's attention was turned inward.
He caught the basketball and shot it easily... Wow!
A beautiful three-pointer completed.
Fanci and Kobe used tacit tactics to distract James and Wade twice.
To them, the Lakers' attack was like damn space magic, and they were being played with applause.
When Fanci and Kobe high-fived to celebrate this beautiful attack, the eyes of James and Wade were filled with hatred and anger.
James quickly rushed to the frontcourt. After entering the paint area and being flanked, he was about to pass to Wade, but found that Fancy suddenly stepped forward and blocked him. He quickly passed the basketball to Mike Miller.
Who knew, as soon as I took action.
Fan Xi speeded up again as he circled forward. He flew over desperately, cut off the basketball with a crazy diving jump, and passed it to Kobe.
Kobe held the ball and went down quickly. After Fan Xi stabilized his center of gravity, he followed up from the other side.
During the fast attack and defense, Kobe quickly broke into the paint area, attracted Chris Bosh, and passed the basketball to Gasol, who easily made a layup.
Go ahead by 1 point.
After Fan Xi came on the court, the Lakers chased five points in a row.
This made the supporters in front of the TV extremely excited.
The chemical reaction between Fanci and Kobe amazed them, and Fanci's accurately predicted steals made their adrenaline surge. This was probably the first player this season to disrupt Janeway's connection.
Reggie Miller was so excited that he even took out his mobile phone on TV and told the audience: "Okay, viewers. I am now notifying my relatives and friends to vote for Jack. He deserves an All-Star spot. It is difficult for me to find a better person than
He's more suited to being an All-Star starting point guard... I'm sorry, Chris, that's unfair to you, but, really, I'm in love with this guy. His recent performance has been historic."
"I've never seen a rookie give such a shocking performance, really."
Reggie Miller vowed to promote Fan Xi.
In fact, the publicity effect is very good. Fan Xi's All-Star votes are rising like crazy. It is very likely to exceed 1 million in these two days, and once it exceeds 1 million, he will be an All-Star starter.
This is simply too dreamy.
Not even David Stern thought of it.
The speed of Fanxi's evolution made him feel that his previous basketball experience had become boring.
The game continued, and LeBron James learned his lesson. However, his pull-up jumper missed, and then Kobe Bryant completed a fadeaway jumper with the help of Fanshie.
The score difference widened further.
Reggie Miller started explaining the importance of shooting on TV.
He said that if LeBron James had accurate mid-to-long-range shooting, the Lakers would not have the slightest chance. Now, Los Angeles wins because both of their outside stars have long-range shooting ability.
Everything is going in the Lakers' favor.
Because James and Wade's hands suddenly felt cold.
When there were 2 minutes left in the game, the Lakers still led by 3 points.
The accident also happened at this moment. Kobe Bryant tried to compete for an offensive rebound, but at the moment he actively grabbed the rebound, Chris Bosh happened to grab the basketball, and he subconsciously made a violation of sports rules.
Action...His elbow hit Bryant hard on the brow bone.
At that time, a hole was made in Kobe's fragile eyebrow bone, and blood flowed out.
Bryant was also dizzy. He staggered two steps until Odom, who was nearest to him, supported him.
The referee quickly stopped the game.
And quickly gave Chris Bosh a technical foul. He had an argument with Odom in the first half and also received a technical foul.
Twice in total, he was sent off the court.
The American Airlines Center was booed.
They even felt that the penalty was unfair and they ignored Kobe who was bleeding profusely.
Kobe was helped to the sideline by the team doctor. He said that he could fight as long as he simply stopped the bleeding.
However, the team doctor did not think so. The team doctor told him that the wound on his brow bone was 1.5 centimeters, and it was impossible to stop the bleeding without stitches. Moreover, the team doctor highly suspected that he had a slight concussion.
In the NBA league, there are two hard and fast rules.
The first one is that you cannot play with a bloody wound. This was established because of Magic Johnson. Because Magic Johnson had AIDS, when he came back for the second time, many players refused to share the stage with him for fear of infection.
The Alliance therefore introduced this bill.
The second rigid rule is that if a player has a concussion, he must not play. Players have died due to concussions while playing. Out of concern for life safety, the league is very strict about concussion testing. A doctor appointed by the league must be required.
You can only get permission to play after being tested, not even your own team's doctor.
Kobe Bryant will definitely not be able to play in this game.
The Lakers are back to their old form again.
The original Big Three battle with Kobe ended with 2 minutes left in the game.
Fan Xi stood at the front.
The Lakers fans in front of the TV were extremely frustrated. Without Kobe, they didn't think the Lakers had a chance to win the game, even though they were still leading by 3 points.
When Kobe Bryant had to leave the game, he said to Fanci: "If you want to be a big shot, now is the best time."
Fan Xi nodded.
As he walked onto the court, Pau Gasol was assigned to take a technical free throw.
boom!
Pau Gasol, the Lakers' player with the highest free throw percentage, actually hit the iron.
He shook his head in annoyance.
He looked at Fan Xi with a pleading and frustrated look. He seemed to be resigned to his fate. He felt that he would not be able to harden at the critical moment.
Fan Xi didn't blame him, but told him that it didn't matter.
This technical foul also resulted in an additional possession of the ball.
It was Ron Artest who ran to the sideline and took the free throw.
Artest is an experienced veteran.
However, he and Fan Xi had no tacit understanding at all.
When Fanci ran out of space, he actually passed the ball directly to Pau Gasol inside.
This intention was revealed by Eric Dampier, who came on the bench, pushed Gasol away, jumped up and grabbed the basketball.
call!
The Lakers fans in front of the TV were desperate.
Isolated!
Can Jack still perform miracles?
Reggie Miller also said frustratedly on TV: "Even my grandma can pass the basketball to Jack on the court."
Dwyane Wade caught the basketball, and the three-point gap made him not in a hurry to push for a fast break.
Kobe Bryant's departure puts them in an advantageous position.
Look at the current morale of the Lakers. Except for Jack, all of them are sluggish. They are an aristocratic team soaked in a honeypot. Once their leader leaves, they will be ready to be slaughtered in front of powerful opponents.
of lamb.
"Cheer up! We're still ahead!"
When Fan Xi was retreating, he kept hitting his palms in an attempt to boost the morale of the Lakers.
This made Wade feel pitiful and pathetic.
When he reached the top of the three-point arc, he even said to Fan Xi: "Do you think you are already the leader of this team? Do you think they will listen to your inspiration? Wake up, rookie. You haven't yet.
The moment when you are powerful enough to be a heroic savior.”
"In Miami, you never have a chance to succeed."
Wade told Fan Xi.
Then, he launched an attack and passed to James during the attack.
James rushed into the paint, scored the basketball against Gasol's defense, and received an extra penalty.
As he walked to the free throw line, he deliberately said to Fan Xi: "Hey, Jack. Do you think you are still ahead?"
This is condescending and offensive.
Therefore, Fan Xi was very straightforward and showed his toughness.
He changed positions with Ron Artest, who was supposed to be standing under the basket grabbing rebounds.
He told James: "At least you won't get the lead!"
His meaning is obvious, if you miss the free throw, the rebound must be mine.
