Chapter 69 Dare to be the first, the outstanding super fan Xi
John Wall was also surprised. He couldn't believe that such words came from his closest friend in college.
However, his good brother looked at him with very firm eyes. "We have no other way to go. If we want to win, we should give the basketball to Jack to distribute."
Fan Xi lingered in the frontcourt and waited until his teammates were in position.
He still played a screen with Blake Griffin. After switching defenses, he entered the paint area and then passed the ball to Cousins who was stuck in the penalty area. Cousins catch the ball and post up Ibaka, which was very easy.
After completing his turn and about to make a hook layup, Stephen Curry rushed over to interfere.
John Wall was in Cousins's blind spot. He passed the basketball to Fancy. Fancy quickly flicked to the left the moment he caught the ball...no-look-pass.
The basketball was passed to John Wall. Wall received the basketball and subconsciously rushed to the penalty area, making an easy layup.
This goal gave him a feeling of enlightenment.
Does it need to be that hard to fight?
Perhaps, Cousins is right, and basketball should really be left to Jack Fan. Although he is an annoying guy, he is absolutely fair.
John Wall looked at Fan Xi.
Fan Xi had turned around to defend.
Cousins reached out and gave John Wall a high-five, and the eyes of the two University of Kentucky alumni intertwined with a feeling of trust.
"I want to watch Jack Fan's pass again. It was so smooth. It was like a computer program."
Kenny Smith replayed Fan Xi's pass just now in the live broadcast room. Under the slow-motion camera, it showed how wonderful Fan Xi's pass was... This kind of success is completely based on the ability to scan teammates with the corner of his eye... TV
Everyone in front of the machine exclaimed.
"It seems that Jack is very talented in passing. This ball even reminds me of Bai Qiaoli Williams back then. However, Williams is a person who makes fancy passes just to make fancy passes." Ken
Nismith was full of praise on TV, even mentioning the point guard who turned the Sacramento Kings into the most attended team in the early 2000s.
Charles Barkley was also surprised. He is an expert, he is a former NBA superstar. Of course he can see the value of Fanshie's pass, but he does not want to admit it, let alone praise it on TV.
He just said flatly: "He just wants to continue to please. I don't think John Wall will work together with him."
However, what happened next hit him hard in the face.
When Stephen Curry once again ran without the ball through Ibaka's body, Fanshie suddenly switched to Curry's side. The moment Curry caught the ball and hurriedly passed the ball... John Wall appeared next to James Harden with a tacit understanding, and...
Snapped!
He intercepted Curry's pass and immediately launched a fast break.
Fan Xi was also running wildly on the other side.
John Wall is one of the fastest point guards in the NBA, and so is Fancy.
The two of them were like two sharp spears piercing into the heart of the sophomore team.
Although Curry quickly pursued him.
But when he finally entered the three-point line, he chose to defend John Wall. He thought John Wall would not pass the ball to Fanshie.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he pounced on John Wall, Wall passed the basketball to Fan Xi.
Curry didn't expect it and ran after the ball.
However, Fan Xi stopped suddenly and threw the basketball into the penalty area. John Wall appeared in the penalty area like a ninja, soared into the sky and grabbed the basketball... Boom!
Complete the dunk.
John Wall once again completed a sharp and well-coordinated fast attack with Fanshie.
After scoring the goal, John Wall's eyes changed when he looked at Fanshie.
After hesitating for a few seconds, he reached out to Fan Xi.
Fan Xi did not dodge, but reached out and gave him a high-five.
After this scene happened.
McHale stood up and took the initiative to applaud the two people.
He is the one who knows the inside story.
Stoudemire next to him was muttering to himself: "I can't believe it. It only took less than one game for Jack to make two arrogant geniuses completely fall in love with him. Is this a natural leader?"
Charming?”
At the beginning, as an assistant coach, he was very worried that the two top picks and Fan Xi would form a three-nation war situation. In fact, it was the same. Griffin and John Wall competed with each other. At the same time, they also had great dissatisfaction with Fan Xi.
hostility.
But now.
Fan Xi actually disappeared.
Mike Budenholzer sat slumped on the bench. He was the last person who wanted to see this scene. He was very frustrated. He thought that all his previous calculations were in vain, and even... helped Fan Xi.
He pulled his hair hard.
Also finding it difficult are Deron Williams and Chris Paul.
They are both point guards.
Chris Paul asks Deron Williams: "When did you become the leader of the Jazz?"
Deron Williams thought about it and said, "Probably the third season."
This is already very fast.
Chris Paul is faster. He basically defeated the Hornets' stubborn forces in his rookie season and became the team leader with the help of the coaching staff and management.
He has always been proud of this.
But now, when he saw John Wall reaching out to Fanci for a high-five, he felt defeated.
He realized that although he had imagined Fan Xi to be very powerful, he still didn't expect that his field control ability would be so powerful.
He asked himself, if he were in Fan Xi's position, he would never be able to unite the two top picks so quickly. Although Fan Xi used the pass as a bait, they hated Fan Xi deeply before.
The game continues.
The second-year team launched a fierce attack, with Harden and Curry leading the offensive from beyond the three-point line. The second-year team's mobility and three-point advantage were displayed.
However, the first-grade team always clung to the score.
Because Fanshie firmly controlled the rhythm, under his guidance, Cousins' height in the penalty area and Griffin's impact in the paint became an advantage. Moreover, John Wall became a sharp steel knife.
As long as he is open, Fanxi will feed him the ball immediately and let him rush into the penalty area to get a kill.
The fighting between the two sides is becoming more and more intense, and the atmosphere is becoming more and more tense.
Each other's scores alternately rise in a canine-like pattern.
All the commentators are saying that this is the most intense All-Star Rookie Game in history.
Many spectators even stood up and watched this unprecedented rookie game with clenched fists.
"It truly represents the pinnacle of competition for the new generation of players."
Kevin Garnett commented on the sidelines: "The second grade is very strong, and the first grade is even more fierce. The Lakers have found a treasure."
Kobe looked proud.
Very much like a parent who is praised for his child's academic performance.
With 5 minutes left in the game, Fanshie's assist data had reached 23, and he set a new record for assists in the rookie game.
There are now 2 minutes left in the game, and Fan Xi's assist data has reached 26.
If there are no accidents, this will be a record that cannot be broken in the rookie game.
Fanci's name will always remain in the history of the rookie game.
At this time, Charles Barkley had already begun to worry. He was very worried that the first grade would eventually win. Because once the first grade won, the probability of Fanshie becoming the MVP would be infinite. Every time Fanshie passed the ball, his voice would tremble.
Fortunately, at 1 minute and 56 seconds.
Jennings, who replaced Curry, hit a super three-pointer.
The score was rewritten to 115:112.
This is the first time the sophomore team has led by 3 points since entering the second half.
"The great Jennings, he is worthy of being the former scoring king in a single game among rookies. He proved to the world that only scoring is the last word! Those who rely on the two top picks to constantly provide assists will never understand this.
Kind of tough!!”
Charles Barkley nearly screamed his throat out.
The louder his voice is, the more proof he is of guilty conscience.
Beep!
The first grade team requested a timeout.
Both sides return to the bench.
When leaving the game, Brandon Jennings, who hit a three-pointer to set off a wave of heat, told Fanshie: "I will use a three-pointer to penetrate your miracle tonight, and I will get the glory that belongs to me. I'm sorry, I
You must be destroyed."
"You don't need to be sorry." Fan Xi calmly told the ferocious-looking Zhannings: "Because, you! Win! No!"
With that said, Fan Xi walked back to the bench.
At this time, John Wall handed Fan Xi a towel.
He was very grateful to Fan Xi for assisting him, and he also enjoyed tonight's high-quality game. He believed that it was Fan Xi who helped everyone enter a higher level, so they were able to play so anxiously against the full-power second-year team.
.
Fan Xi took the towel and wiped her sweat.
At this time, Mike Budenholzer announced a piece of news that caused the bench to be in complete uproar: "Jack, you go off and rest, Gary Neal comes on top, and you move with John Wall!!"
What?
As soon as this sentence came out, John Wall had the biggest reaction.
Blake Griffin was surprised, too.
Everyone looked at Mike Budenholzer in disbelief.
Everyone is used to playing with Fan Xi, and even subconsciously regard Fan Xi as their backbone.
But at such a critical moment, the interim head coach actually wanted to replace him.
Are you kidding me?
Everyone watched in shock as interim head coach Mike Budenholzer calmly announced the decision.
Budenholzer looked calm, but in fact he was very proud of himself. He enjoyed the pleasure of controlling life and death.
This is what he planned all along.
Freezing Fan Xi at a critical moment will definitely destroy his self-confidence. Young people cannot withstand this kind of neglect and will definitely feel awkward and uneasy... and thus self-doubt.
However, at this moment.
McHale stepped up.
He said: "It's just a joke. Jack won't take a break, he will stay until the end."
McHale stared at Budenholzer sharply. He is a former legendary star of the Celtics. The Sikma step he created is still active in the NBA penalty area. Now he is the general manager of the Celtics. In terms of qualifications
, he is several levels higher than Budenholzer.
Although he is not the head coach, his words carry a lot of weight.
Budenholzer quickly explained to him: "Jack is already very tired. If he stays on the court, it may have side effects."
"No, you can't use a 'maybe' reason to dismiss this kid's efforts. He brought the game to this important moment. No one can take him off the game, not even you. Even if you are an assistant coach of the San Antonio Spurs
." McHale said directly to people's hearts.
Budenholzer felt guilty, but he pretended to be calm: "I did this just to win."
"alright!"
Fan Xi's voice suddenly sounded firmly.
He walked over and took the tactical board from Stoudemire. He made an unexpected move. He actually drew the tactical route directly on the tactical board and told Budenholzer: "If only
In order to win, then, I can take full responsibility for this game. Mr. Budenholzer, you can rest now."
What???
All the players looked at Fan Xi in shock again.
No one thought that Fan Xi, who had been calmly delivering assists in this game, would actually say such a thing at a critical moment. Is he trying to fire the head coach? Doesn't he look timid?
How is he so...brave?
McHale didn't expect it. He had always thought that Fan Xi was the child who needed to be protected. But now, this guy's reaction was beyond the boundaries of his imagination.
Budenholzer's eyes widened.
"I know you have been targeting me, but I don't care. I just want to win. I want to tell you, Mr. Budenholzer, your tactical skills are really terrible!"
After Fanshi said this indifferently, he called Cousins and other teammates over: "DeMarcus, I need you to stand here to provide cover later. Blake, you have to pass through. If there is a chance,
I will give you the opportunity to hit the basket directly. And John, you have to roam on the weak side, you are our strongest plan B. Wesley, cooperate with John, your job content is as follows..."
Fan Xi asked the players to talk.
The players were shocked and actually listened to everything Fan Xi said.
It was obvious that Fan Xi had always been an unknown person delivering artillery shells, and everyone thought he was assisting his teammates. Now, he actually started to coach his teammates.
Moreover, no one felt it was against the rules, so they just followed Fan Xi's suggestion.
"If we hit a three-pointer, the second-year team will replace Curry. Brandon Jennings is just a chicken and a dog, and he is not enough to fight us at the critical moment..."
Fan Xi said confidently at the end.
His whole body exuded a kind of confidence that was convincing.
"What??? This guy is actually directing tactics? Where does he get the confidence??"
Charles Barkley yelled on the TV when the scene of Fanshie arranging tactics appeared on the screen: "He is simply arrogant. There has never been such an arrogant point guard in the history of the NBA. If he loses, he will definitely be doomed!"
!”
"But, I think he is super cool." Kenny Smith said next to him: "If he gets everything done, then he will become the most handsome rookie in history. He has indeed proved that he is outstanding, and he has the ability to leapfrog into the All-Stars.
Sai’s strength.”
Kenny Smith's words received greater recognition from the audience.
The Son of Miracle should have done more amazing things, right?
At the same time, when the fans in China saw this scene, they were even more excited.
People have always thought that Chinese people are low-key and reserved.
However, Chinese poems have always had the spirit of "blaming Fang Qiu and pointing out the country".
"Fan Xi is worthy of being a new generation of Chinese kids. They are confident, strong, not afraid of power, and dare to be the first. This scene of him directing tactics reminds me of Sun Jihai who played in the Crystal Palace back then. Strong people are everywhere they go.
A strong person.”
"I hope the first grade team wins!"
The Chinese commentator said excitedly.
Beep!
The whistle sounded.
The game has entered a stage where bayonets see red.
And Fan Xi also rewritten this game as a combination of "personal destiny and team victory or defeat".
It's done, he will be an unparalleled rookie in the world.
If he fails, he will definitely be criticized verbally and in writing to add insult to injury.
