He is the head coach of the Celtics and the head coach of the All-Star Eastern Conference team. When he saw Fan Xi's smooth advance, the two hit the wall and directly penetrated the Eastern restricted area.
He panicked.
The Lakers' weakest position has always been the point guard. Whether it is Derek Fisher or earlier Jordan Farmar, Vujacic, and Shannon Brown, they are all loopholes that the Celtics can easily break through.
In last year's Finals, the Celtics and Lakers played seven games before deciding the winner. If Ron Artest hadn't hit the key goal in Game 6, the Celtics would have won the O'Brien Cup long ago.
.
The Celtics are still full of ambitions for this season. Although the Big Three are one year older, they all believe that they still have a chance to compete for another championship ring... because although the Miami Big Three are younger, their tacit understanding is not enough.
Most importantly, Celtics point guard LaGarondo is getting stronger and stronger, evolving from a role player to an elite player.
The Celtics had previously firmly believed that as long as they faced the Lakers in the Finals, LaGarondo would definitely play an important role and help the team complete their revenge and win the championship.
But now, when Doc Rivers sees this goal.
His confidence was shaken.
He is an experienced head coach, and although his on-the-spot reaction has been criticized, he can see the significance of Fanshie's attack in dismantling the defense of the Big Three.
Previously, the Lakers' triangle offense was a transfer of strength between the inside and outside lines. Pau Gasol was an important starting point. The No. 1 and No. 3 positions on the outside could only serve as turrets, and the tactical compatibility was very wide.
This can bring a great opportunity to the Celtics.
But just now, the Celtics' tactical advantage was lost.
Fanci is like a smart elf, shattering Boston's final fantasy with his spiritual movement. Fanci is a real tactical starting point, and he perfects the Lakers' weakness at the 1st position.
He had the opportunity to present the ultimate secret of the triangle offense with Kobe...the duo of Jordan and Pippen.
Moreover, the Lakers' inside line is stronger than that of the Bulls. Pau Gasol and Andrew Bynum, plus Lamar Odom, may not be as mobile and defensive as Rodman plus Longley and Kukoc.
However, the passing connection and low-post offensive strength are far better than those of the Bulls back then.
call!
Doc Rivers took a deep breath.
At this time, Deron Williams was forcing a single on Fanshie.
Deron is a strong, fat man, and his lateral swing on the offensive end is unique. He completed two changes of direction quickly and sharply.
But he didn't deceive Fan Xi, because Fan Xi's coordination ability is very good and comes from Michael Jordan.
Deron had to use the simplest method, he used his strength to charge.
As expected, Fan Xi was rushed aside by him.
However, Kobe stepped up to help defend in time.
Deron Williams quickly passed the ball to Ray Allen who ran out of the space.
Ray Allen caught the basketball and immediately took action. His movements were as standard as a textbook.
It's a classic two-stage shot.
But at the moment when he jumped to the highest point and pushed the basketball away, Fan Xi quickly flew up. He unleashed his jumping talent to the maximum, and he spread out his amazing long arms to block the shot... Bah!
His fingertips touched the basketball.
Ray Allen's shooting arc was disrupted.
The basketball fell down halfway.
Kevin Durant flexed his arms, picked the basketball off Paul Pierce's head, and then passed it to Fanci.
Fan Xi dribbled the ball forward.
hiss!
Doc Rivers watched it clearly from the sidelines and took a breath of air.
He was extremely shocked inside.
The cooperation between Fan Xi and Kobe frightened him.
Previously, the Lakers' No. 1 position was always a defensive vulnerability and an ATM for other teams.
But just now... when Kobe quickly rushed over to switch defense on Deron, Fanxi immediately locked onto Ray Allen and rushed over to switch defense immediately... almost completed in an instant.
Then, he jumped up and blocked the shot to Ray Allen.
Although in official games, Ray Allen will be more alert, but this defensive switch... the level is too high.
Doc Rivers increasingly believes in what McHale said before the game: Jack Fan will become the new logo of the Los Angeles Lakers in the future.
At that time, he felt that McHale was a bit sensational. Doc Rivers has never been superstitious about rookies who appear out of nowhere. He believed that a true superstar should be known to the world in his eighth or ninth grade, and then go through the crazy promotion of the American youth training system.
In the end, he entered the NBA with a high pick, and then became a blockbuster in the crazy elimination competition.
But Fan Xi skipped the previous steps and immediately made a splash.
He thought it was a castle in the air.
But now, the castle in the air gave him a 'fatal blow'.
Fanci arrived in the frontcourt and passed the ball to Kobe.
Then, he started running, and his running route was not top-notch. It pales in comparison to top off-the-ball players such as Hamilton and Ray Allen.
However, his tactical thinking is very clear and he knows how to get from point a to point b.
This is a sobriety that many other rookies do not have. Many talented rookies will be like headless flies when they arrive on the court, with extremely poor positional awareness.
Fanshie used Griffin's screen to rush to the bottom corner. Kobe Bryant did not pass the ball immediately: it is difficult for people to overcome their own habits.
But he still passed the basketball to Durant later because he was consciously flanked by Ray Allen and Pierce.
Durant caught the basketball, made a false shot, and passed it to Fan Xi.
Fan Xi gets an open opportunity... Wow!
Hit 3 points again.
call!
Doc Rivers struggled to catch his breath again, then he asked for a timeout.
He decided to replace Boston's Big Three.
This is his power as a head coach.
As the head coach of the All-Star Game, they usually do not want their ace players to consume a lot of energy in such a game. On the contrary, they prefer to let their competitors consume their energy.
Doc Rivers decided to replace Miami's Big Three, as well as Orlando's Dwight Howard and Chicago's Derrick Rose.
By doing this, he not only allowed his players to rest, but also allowed his competitors to use up more energy.
Another reason is... he hopes that Garnett, Pierce, and Ray Allen can sit on the sidelines and clearly observe Fanci's playing style so that they can have countermeasures in future encounters.
Although Paul Pierce seemed very depressed, he didn't want to see Fanshi being proud because Fanshi had disgraced him in the three-point contest.
But Doc Rivers didn't discuss it in detail with him.
"We should keep the victory in the East."
Doc Rivers tells Miami's big three.
James answered Rivers with a very affirmative look.
Before the game started, Doc Rivers already knew that the Big Three were dissatisfied with Fanci, especially LeBron James. James was resentful about Fanci's sponsorship contract. The little emperor did not want any NBA player to gain more than him commercially.
Big success.
At that time, Doc Rivers felt that the little guy named Fan Xi was dead and James would definitely crush him.
But now he feels that this little guy Fan Xi has a good chance of escaping. His playing style is very cunning and he has the help of his teammates.
But it seems that James' patience with Fan Xi has reached its limit.
The snipe and the clam are fighting, and Doc Rivers and his Celtics have to be the fishermen.
Beep!
The whistle soon sounded and the game continued.
Before LeBron James went on the court, he called Wade, Bosh, Rose and Howard to discuss it. He said that he could play properly. Fans come here because they want to see the real battle of top superstars, not you.
Good my good family fun.
In particular, he told Rose: "Derek, don't let people think you are inferior to that rookie, he is just better at pleasing the fans than you."
This is a provocative method.
But Ross is not an idiot.
He is a player owned by Adidas, and he does not want to get involved in the conflicts in the Nike camp.
When James passed the basketball to him, he quickly passed it to Wade.
It's like a non-stick pan.
Wade and Bosh made a simple pick-and-roll, and he broke through the defense and entered the penalty area, completing an impressive dunk.
Then, Fanci arrived in the frontcourt with the ball, and he also set a screen with Blake Griffin. It turned out that he wanted to break through to the penalty area for a layup, but found that after the switch of defense, Bosh was staring at him closely.
He quickly changed his mind and passed it to Griffin. Griffin grabbed the basketball and flew into the sky, showing off his impressive jumping ability... Boom!
Two-handed dunk.
eliciting cheers from Staples Arena.
At this time, Wade simply passed the basketball to James.
James held the ball for half the game, and the Heat's trio visibly improved their offensive focus. James used his strong body to suppress Durant into the penalty area, and then assisted Wade who cut in through the air to complete a dunk.
Their talents are clearly on display.
The game has entered a new mode.
The Western team played relatively loosely, but the Eastern team, led by the Miami Big Three, played a precise offense.
Because Fanshie was targeted by the defense of Miami's Big Three, he had to keep passing the ball to his teammates. The offensive efficiency of his teammates was pretty good, and his assist data increased.
After playing 4 minutes on the court, Fanshie was replaced on the bench.
Miami's Big Three continued to play until the end of the first half.
Before halftime, Doc Rivers asked Kevin Garnett, the most experienced of Boston's Big Three: "What do you think of Jake Fan?"
Garnett frowned and said cautiously: "I can't tell you anything yet. I can only say that he knows what he can and should do on the court, and he is very understanding of the world."
Garnett's so-called understanding of the world means that Fan Xi is not attached to the ball. No matter which teammate has an opportunity, if he can pass the ball to him, he will definitely pass it.
In terms of his performance during this period, Garnett felt that Fanci was very ordinary and there was a big gap between him and Miami's Big Three.
At this time, something slightly surprising happened to Garnett. He actually saw Zach Randolph and Fanci walking to the locker room arm in arm.
From an early age, Randolph was a bad boy who was difficult to deal with.
Garnett is a player who likes to trash-talk anyone he sees. He always uses swear words and likes to attack others, which often leads to conflicts. For example, he mocked Villanueva, who lost all his hair due to illness.
He also praised Carmelo Anthony and said that Anthony's wife tastes like donuts...
Therefore, he and Randolph were almost incompatible on the court, and neither of them had a high opinion of each other.
But now, he actually saw Randolph and Fan Xi so close.
He was greatly surprised.
How could Randolph make friends with such well-dressed 'colored people'?
But, that's what happened.
Randolph and Fanci chatted about a comic book on the bench for a while: It was hard to believe that Randolph, a gangster who seemed to do all kinds of evil, could actually read comics, and they were also passionate juvenile comics.
They've already sympathized with each other over their anger at LeBron James.
Coupled with the common hobbies, the relationship quickly heated up.
On the way back to the locker room, Zach Randolph made a serious promise to Fanshie: "Jack, if LeBron really wants to do something to you tonight, I will definitely stand up and help you. I hate those who think they are super
A superstar is someone who can command others at will."
Fan Xi smiled.
Then, he saw a familiar figure.
I also met Scarlett Johansson last night.
What surprised Fan Xi was that she came alone.
And she usually dresses very sexy, but today she wore something very simple, a pair of tight jeans and a white trendy sweatshirt.
But even with such a simple outfit, it still couldn't block her graceful figure and sexy aura.
She hooked her hand at Fan Xi: "Hey, Jack."
Fan Xi hasn't reacted yet.
Zach Randolph pushed him: "Go quickly, Jack."
He winked at Fan Xi and wanted to fulfill Fan Xi's good deeds.
But in fact, Fan Xi was afraid of getting along with Scarlett.
Scarlett was so good at seducing, and he always felt like he couldn't control it. He subconsciously felt that if Scarlett came to seduce him, he might not be able to hold on for the second minute.
In fact, he dreamed of Scarlett last night.
In the dream, Scarlett was touching him, and just when he couldn't control it anymore, he woke up from the dream.
Fortunately, I woke up from the dream.
"Are you shy? Or scared?"
Scarlett Johansson asked Fan Xi with a smile.
Fan Xi raised his eyebrows and looked relaxed: "How could it be? I was just a little tired from playing basketball just now."
"But you didn't say hello to me or call my name." Scarlett took a step forward, approaching Fan Xi's body.
Fan Xi subconsciously leaned back.
At this time, he heard a whistle coming from behind him.
It's Blake Griffin.
When he saw Fan Xi and Scarlett standing together, he naturally thought of some strange things.
Fan Xi looked at him winking and didn't know how to explain it.
At this time, Scarlett suggested: "Let's go and have a chat."
Fan Xi also felt that it was too conspicuous, so he followed him and walked over.
He didn't even want to talk about anything.
When Scarlett came to a corner and saw no one next to her, she suddenly stretched out her hand and pulled Fan Xi forcefully over.
"You, this charming little guy, miss your sister so much."
