The tit-for-tat confrontation between Kobe and O'Neal did not appear in the spotlight; it was just a private conversation.
Charles Barkley complained about Fansheed's pass to Cousins: "Jack is trying to win people's hearts. Cousins looks stupid and can easily become his helper."
Once a person puts on colored glasses, it is difficult to take them off, especially when one's own interests are at stake.
"Now it's two flash-in-the-pan players going up against each other."
Charles Barkley comments on Brandon Jennings' attack on Fanci.
Brandon Jennings is a talented high school student, but he is thin and did not choose to join the NCAA. Going to Europe to play professionally for one year is not a smart option.
Although the NCAA squeezes talented players, it can indeed allow talented players to increase the ball quickly, and master the basketball logic that is more in line with the NBA.
Brandon Jennings has a natural hatred for Fanci, a rising star. Considering his own situation, he believes that if he stays in Los Angeles, he can achieve better results than Fanci now.
This resentment supports the desire to beat up Fan Xi.
He launched a quick attack from the left.
His ball-handling breakthrough skills were solid, but his first step failed to create any danger for Fan Xi. Fan Xi stepped back slightly to lock in his offensive trend.
He changed direction again and fell into Fan Xi's urn.
Fan Xi quickly entangled him.
Although Fan Xi is not thicker than Jennings, and has no advantage in strength confrontation, Fan Xi's height, wingspan and agility make Jennings at a loss.
Jennings could only squeeze hard, then lean back and shoot.
But at the moment when he leaned back and took a shot, Fan Xi suddenly took off. The explosive power of peak Kemp combined with the jumping power of peak Jordan... Bang!
The basketball interfered with Jennings's throw at that time, and the arc of the basketball became short and fell down at the free throw line.
Wesley Johnson easily picks up the basketball.
He took two steps with the ball and passed the basketball to Fan Xi after a slight hesitation.
Both Wesley Johnson and Fields play in a blue-collar style. Fields is a small forward with a strong sense of rebounding. He relies heavily on assists from his teammates, and he is often ignored in the team.
Wesley Johnson is a very talented forward, but his performance is very ordinary. He was the fourth overall pick in 2010, but his talent has not been released at all. He cannot find the rhythm of the NBA, and he also needs teammates
s help.
So, when Fanci said that as long as they were in the right position, he would pass the ball to them.
This sentence is very touching.
Therefore, Wesley Johnson's reason defeated his jealousy at this moment, and he passed the basketball to Fancy.
After previous games, he already knew very well whether it was John Wall or Blake Griffin on the court. These two super rookies would never pass the basketball to themselves. They only cared about their own performance. On the contrary, Fan
Hope, it is worthy of their trust.
Wesley Johnson's trust was quickly rewarded.
Fanshie quickly rushed into the frontcourt, and he used a beautiful back turn to pass Brandon Jennings' defense at the free throw line. Ibaka and DeRozan from the second-year team had to rush towards him.
And go.
When Fanxi took off to attract two players to attack, he passed the basketball out, and Wesley Johnson subconsciously followed up and picked up the basketball.
Wesley Johnson received the basketball and immediately took off. He fully blossomed his enviable talent. He soared in the sky like an eagle, spreading his arms and swinging a windmill while gliding, and slammed into the basket.
basket.
The entire Staples Arena was excited, and the fans cheered for this exciting dunk.
This is the first time Wesley Johnson has received a full house in this game.
This is also the first time he has received such a loud welcome since entering the NBA.
He was very excited.
A venting roar came out of his throat, as if he wanted to throw away the parallel import hat that the media had placed on his head.
Immediately, he high-fived Fan Xi gratefully and thanked Fan Xi for passing the ball.
"Fan Xi's desire to attack is not strong tonight."
Yu Jia, a Chinese host on the other side of the ocean, told the national audience: "He gave up the two single-handed opportunities he had on the field."
Sitting next to him is Director Zhang. Director Zhang used to be the second center of the national team. He is a die-hard Lakers fan and he likes Fan Xi unabashedly.
"This is what distinguishes Fanhees from other rookies. Look at John Wall and Griffin just now. They went up and smashed them. They showed themselves, but the team fell behind. We Fanhees have this kind of situation."
Consciousness, get rich first and then get rich later, let all teammates participate, and work together to do great things. This is the wisdom of the Chinese people."
When Director Zhang talked about the game, he kept saying one word after another: "Besides, our Fan Xi also has no shortage of opportunities like this. He is an All-Star starter, and he can't play in this kind of new game."
It’s useless to be awesome.”
At this point, the Chinese fans in front of the TV straightened their chests unnaturally.
Yes, in this new game, what will happen if Fan Xiqian gives in?
Look at Brandon Jennings, who is said to be the next Allen Iverson, how passive he is in front of Fanci.
China finally has a super outside line.
Fan Xi made Chinese fans straighten their backs and feel confident.
…
The game continues.
Mike Budenholzer's face is getting more and more ugly. He doesn't like Fan Xi. He doesn't want Fan Xi to shine. He has no choice but to replace Fan Xi. He even gave Fan Xi a set of equipment that is completely unsuitable for Fan Xi's performance.
line-up.
However, something unexpected happened to him.
After Fan Xi came on the court, not only was he not restricted, but he also led this purely defensive lineup to take off.
Although Charles Barkley kept saying on TV that Fancy's passing was not very good, Fancy really made the players integrate.
And through tacit cooperation on the offensive end, he quickly became the core of this team, and he allowed this team to establish interaction on the defensive end.
Monroe and Cousins controlled the penalty area.
With Fanci, Wesley, and Fields roaming around the perimeter, the three-and-two zone defense silenced the sophomore team's overwhelming offensive. The problem of insufficient height in their penalty area quickly became apparent.
Blair and Ibaka simply do not have the ability to complete their own offensive.
Therefore, the second-year team had no choice but to force a shot from the outside, and the first-year team easily grabbed the rebound.
Changing sides to fight again, Fan Xi relied on his personal ability to break through the defense, forcing the second-year team to attack, and then quickly passed the basketball... Although the tactics were very simple.
But the second-year team is also a makeshift team, and their defense cannot withstand the hardships.
Cousins, Monroe, Wesley and Fields became happier and happier with Fanci's assist.
The first half is not over yet.
The first grade team went ahead by 2 points.
Just when everyone was cheering for the first-year counterattack, Mike Budenholzer acted like a monster again.
He replaced Vanshey and replaced him with John Wall.
Although John Wall was the No. 1 pick in 2010, what he was thinking about was how to shine on the court. He did not have the idea of uniting the whole team like Fanshee.
Therefore, in the last minute, Harden and Curry of the second-year team each hit a three-pointer.
Just before the end of the first half, they once again established a 4-point lead.
During the halftime break, Charles Barkley was still mocking Kenny Smith: "Jack has been playing for so long but has not performed at all. Even if the first-year team wins in the end, he will not win the finals MVP."
He was very happy, he thought it was a foregone conclusion that Kenny Smith would make a fool of himself.
But at this time, Kenny Smith smiled and said: "That's not necessarily the case. Look at Jack's data sheet carefully, don't just look at his scores."
Charles Barkley concentrated on it and looked up quickly.
1 point, 2 rebounds, 9 assists, 2 steals, 1 block….
Oh my god.
When did you reach 9 assists?
Buckley gasped in surprise, his panic evident in his words.
Kenny Smith said with a smile on his face: "Charles, do you think that if Jack breaks the assist data in the rookie game and wins the game, will he get the mvp?"
this….
Buckley was speechless, he didn't expect that it could still be like this.
…
At this time, the bench also underwent some changes.
When Fan Xi first came here, most of the players on the first-year team had some vague hostility towards him, and they were envious and jealous of him because of his sudden emergence.
But now, as the first half is over.
He has won the hearts and minds of the people.
Although Cousins was a college alumnus of John Wall, he kept talking to Fancy there.
Wesley Johnson and Landry Fields also came over and communicated with Fanci. There was also Nets forward Favors, who also wanted to chat with Fanci.
Because, Fan Xi can make all teammates enjoy the cheers of the audience.
Anywhere, a person who helps others can gain respect from others.
In contrast, John Wall and Blake Griffin, the two super rookies, are ignored. They are all planning their actions in the second half with great ambitions. They all want to defeat the second-year team and get the first career title.
mvp awards.
Mike Budenholzer looked at Fanci's data and fell into deep thought. He didn't want Fanci to perform so well.
His mind works very quickly.
Soon, he thought of a trick. He wanted to let Fanshie, John Wall, and Blake Griffin play at the same time, and also announced that John Wall would become the point guard. He wanted to see what the cunning Fanshie could do.
Break his game.
With that said, he summoned the players and announced the lineup for the second half. John Wall, Fancy, Wesley Johnson, Blake Griffin and Monroe became the starters for the second half.
He also encouraged everyone to dare to fight and to create new miracles.
He spoke impassionedly.
However, the assistant coach McHale next to him saw his trick. He clearly knew that Fanshie, Griffin and Wall were not at odds, and yet he threw Fanshie into the contest between Griffin and Wall at this time.
Doesn’t it make the water more muddy?
McHale even thought that Fanshie couldn't even touch the ball after coming on the court.
This is clearly consuming Fan Xi.
It was deliberately in vain to let Fan Xi play, making Fan Xi feel disappointed by the fans.
McHale saw through Budenholzer's wolfish heart. He liked Fancy very much and he didn't want Fancy to fall into this trap.
However, as an old man who has been in the league for so many years, sometimes many feelings have to be taken into consideration.
He had no choice but to vaguely remind Fan Xi: "Jack, you must express yourself when you have the opportunity. This lineup is not good for you, Mike Budenholzer does not want you to perform well."
Fanci has long been aware of Budenholzer's "good intentions", and now that McHale has confirmed it, he is even more sober.
However, he also had his own plan. He said to McHale: "Thank you, Kevin, you are such a good person. I will be prepared."
McHale patted Fan Xi on the shoulder, cheering for this brave child in his heart.
The NBA situation is complex, and it will face many overt and covert challenges and traps, and those who can break through are unique talents.
McHale hopes that Fanci will break out, even though he is a player of the historical rival Lakers.
Beep!
The whistle sounded soon.
The game continues.
When the first-year team replaced John Wall, Fancy, Wesley Johnson, Blake Griffin, Monroe looked like the strongest lineup.
The second-year team no longer has any reservations, with Stephen Curry, James Harden, DeRozan, Ibaka, and Taj Gibson joining forces.
This lineup has strong talent and experience, especially mobility.
Curry and Harden's shooting is extremely accurate. DeRozan is a classic defender produced in Los Angeles. His skills are in the same vein as Kobe and Jordan.
Ibaka is the Thunder's defensive champion, and he supports the Thunder's defensive barrier.
Taj Gibson is the guard next to Derrick Rose, and he played at the University of Southern California for three years. His defensive experience and awareness are the best among rookies, and his athletic ability is amazing.
call!
When Stephen Curry reached the frontcourt with the ball, Fanshi let out a deep breath.
He tried to guard Curry, but John Wall blocked him, leaving him to guard James Harden.
John Wall's meaning is very simple. He believes that the No. 1 position should compete with the No. 1 position. He is afraid that Fanshie will snatch the ball away from him.
But what Fan Xi was thinking was...Curry is very difficult to deal with, and only I understand some of his unique offensive rhythms.
John Wall does not believe in evil.
He thinks Curry looks cute and should be weak and easy to bully.
On the contrary, James Harden has a beard and a big body, which makes him difficult to deal with. Let Fan Xi handle it.
Fanci keeps up with Harden.
Harden stood at 45 degrees to the left and waited. "Jack, if I were you, I would choose Jenna. Although Jenna is young now, her family's genes are very strong, and she will definitely have a pair of huge ones in the future.
Hips!”
Harden is a typical black aesthetic.
Fan Xi ignored him. When he saw Curry suddenly make a step-down change, he quickly shouted: Be careful to shoot!
However, he just finished speaking.
Curry has completed the shot extremely quickly... His shooting rhythm is completely different from that of a normal guard. He only needs one swing, and the opponent is slightly relaxed for less than a second to complete the bottom-up shot... This is a one-stage shot.
Essence.
When the basketball flew over John Wall's head, John Wall's eyes were still looking to the left, and he was still waiting for Curry to change direction.
Whoosh!
The basketball fell into the net accurately.
Fan Xi shook her head in frustration.
John Wall frowned, thinking that Fan Xi was ridiculing him, and he was determined to get revenge in the next round.
