The Point Guard is Here - chapter 369
Karl Malone was a good defender when he was young, he was known for his tenacity and he was always able to deliver a fatal blow at the crucial moment.
However, now he is a little old after all.
This is evident from the fact that he joined the Lakers as a hug, not a group.
His peak has long since ended when Michael Jordan used a steal on him at a crucial moment and hit a legendary lore.
Fan Xi ignored the bright-eyed Karl Malone.
His speed is getting faster and faster, one step, two steps!
Fan Xi suddenly flies into the air according to his rhythm. He blooms in the night sky like a thunderbolt, unstoppable towards the Lakers’ basket.
Karl Malone originally wanted to jump to block, but he could only look up at Fan Xi’s height, so he had to stretch his arms to block.
And ready to exert force, he wanted to drag Fan Xi out of the air.
However, it is too slow!
Fan Xi’s instant explosiveness is now the first in the league.
When he was above the sky, an astonishing torque burst out from his waist and abdomen, and before Karl Malone could block it…he poured out…Boom!
He slammed the basketball into the rim from Karl Malone’s head with both hands.
When Fan Xi grabbed the basket with both hands, it was pointless for Malone to exert force under his crotch.
On the contrary, there was a greater reaction force, and Fan Xi’s swing caused Karl Malone to stumble.
People don’t have muscles and bones when they get old.
Under the strong reaction force, Karl Malone, who was subjected to the violent facial buckle, staggered backwards, and sat on the ground. With the severe pain coming from his tail, he looked up and saw Fan Xi’s posture like a god.
Van Hee jumped off the rim.
The entire Staples Arena made an uncontrollable shock wave, and they were conquered by Van Hee’s violent dunk.
No one expected Fan Xi to contribute the top five goals at the start.
Karl Malone, who is known for his strength, was actually knocked to the ground by him so tragically.
After Fan Xi landed, he reached out to pull Malone.
But Karl Malone shook his hand to refuse, Malone gasped, and he said with trembling teeth. “I need a doctor.”
Old players are experienced, and they care for their bodies far more than young guys. Once symptoms appear, they will immediately stop the game.
The referee suspended the game, and the Lakers team doctor hurried up to check.
The big screen above the head continued to replay the dunks just now, and various aftermaths sounded in the Staples Arena.
Charles Barkley was very happy, and he boasted triumphantly on the bench: “In today’s league, who can dunk harder than Jack? I have said before that Jack has been silently accumulating strength, and he will overturn this league one day. Of the four defenders, none of them is enough for Jack to play!”
Barkley’s voice is undoubtedly a bit harsh to Kenny Smith.
When he was still playing, Fanshee often abused him, and he was also used as a bonus to trade Fanshee, and the Rockets won the championship in the season they got Fanhee.
People always talk about how brilliant the Rockets are and how great Jack is when they talk about that deal. It’s a great harm to this sensitive nobody.
Therefore, since he entered the commentary industry, he has always lacked objective judgment on Fan Xi.
He always preached that Fanshee survived in the league by luck and maintained his superstar status by having a strong off-court influence.
But now, he was a little speechless.
It’s a real fact that Van Hee dunked Karl Malone.
Even Shaq O’Neal made exaggerated expressions on the court, and then pretended to run over to rub Fan Xi’s shoulders and back.
The relationship between O’Neal and O’Neal has always been very good. Until now, many people still regret that O’Neal did not join the same team as O’Neal in the summer of 1996. If the Lakers have O’Neal, Kobe Bryant and O’Neal at the same time, this team will have no suspense. of all championships.
And Phil Jackson firmly believes that if Fanshee is in the team’s locker room, Kobe and O’Neal can’t fight at all.
Karl Malone lay on the stretcher and was forklifted out by a forklift. It was miserable.
It’s like killing a pig during Chinese New Year and just scalded its hair.
This scene made Grant, who was newly on the court, feel a little bit of sympathy.
Grant is a seasoned veteran, he made great contributions to the Lakers’ three-peat, and also played side by side with Michael Jordan.
In a way, the current Lakers have indeed come to the end of the cyclical law.
O’Neal is getting fatter and fatter, don’t expect this guy to train hard to lose fat in the offseason.
Of course, this is also a way for him to protect himself. A giant center like him can move as little as possible in the offseason, and frequent training will increase the risk of injury.
This is also why Fan Xi kept warning the national team’s younger brother Yao Huang to pay attention to rest and play as few games as possible during the offseason.
[In other words, the best app for reading aloud and listening to books at present, Mimi Read, install the latest version. 】
Fan Xi’s suggestion is very effective in China.
In fact, with the help of Fan Xi, Wang Zhizhi landed in the NBA in 1998. He was selected by the Golden State Warriors with the 25th overall pick in the first round and is currently in his sixth season.
Although his performance did not surpass the Mavericks’ Dirk Nowitzki as he said, he was really handy on the offensive end. He had a full set of skilled offensive firepower, and his left-handed shooting made him elusive, and he accepted Fan Xi’s advice. , spread the offensive firepower beyond the three-point line.
Dazhi has been regarded as an elite player in the NBA, sitting firmly in the rotation, and has entered the starting two or three seasons in the middle.
However, he also suffered an injury last season. His offensive efficiency has declined this season, which made him want to retire. He may return home after the four-year, $30 million deal ends.
The current contract has 2 years remaining.
Compared with another time and space, Dazhi was unable to play in the NBA and returned to China, and he had a lot of trouble with the national team and club in the middle. It can be said that Dazhi in this time and space has no regrets.
Fan Xi really changed the fate of many people.
Of course, he can’t change the fate of many people.
For example, Elgin Baylor, Lord Baylor is really immortal, and he can always use his unique talent to get the wrong answer when he gets the right answer.
This is probably an inertia of fate.
Kobe Bryant’s fate is also very strong.
When Shaq O’Neal pretended to be a joke to Fan Xi, he was one of Fan Xi’s best friends, and he showed his most tenacious attitude.
He faced Sprewell’s defense, and he used his skillful technique to successfully back the madman and use a turnaround jumper to send the basketball to the basket.
Turning back, he stared at Fan Xi.
Kobe may be the guard in the world who knows Van Hee the best.
He was all too aware of Van Hee’s feints and technical details.
But this time, he was still thrown away.
Because, Van Hee has more explosive kinetic energy than before, like a sports car with the engine changed…and it’s faster in the corners.
Bryant couldn’t stop.
He was passed by Fan Xi, Fan Xi entered the paint, O’Neal and Fox attacked at the same time, Fan Xi passed the ball… Ratliff received the ball and dunked!
The cap king is still in his prime.
His defense has a set, and the offense is not entirely a rough brother.
And he also listened to Fan Xi’s words. He has never cooperated with such a good point guard in his life, so he showed a position that he had never seen before.
O’Neal missed the back door, he was angry, he yelled at Fan Xi: You are a bad guy.
Fan Xi said, you are a little guy.
When O’Neal heard this, he was unhappy. He stared at him and lowered his voice: Didn’t he agree not to mention this matter?
Fan Xi didn’t react for a while.
He originally wanted to speak ironically and make fun of O’Neal’s size, but he didn’t expect to touch O’Neal’s shortcomings.
Slip! Slip!
Fan Xi smiled awkwardly.
This incident can be traced back to 2000. At that time, after the All-Star Game, Fan Xi was dragged by Anthony Mason to the high-level club. Who knew that as soon as he entered there, he heard O’Neal arguing with others. He was not satisfied with the woman’s service. Also grumpy, she attacked that aspect of O’Neal.
Just happened to be bumped into by Fan Xi and Mason face to face.
So, O’Neal was a little reluctant to mention those things when he met Van Hee and Mason.
Looking back, Gary Payton passed the basketball to O’Neal.
O’Neal’s post-up singles was played by Anthony Mason. This fitness-obsessed strength maniac withstood O’Neal’s first hit in his life, but he couldn’t take the second hit. Unmanageable.
Being able to withstand the first blow is already rare in today’s league.
Successfully delayed O’Neal’s kill.
It ushered in favorable conditions for Ratliff’s flanking attack. Sure enough, when O’Neal dunked for the second time, Ratliff rushed up and interfered abruptly…Bang!
Basketball strikes.
Fan Xi rushed into the restricted area and he picked up the rebound.
This scene made Phil Jackson stunned.
O’Neal has been the Lakers’ super-killer for the past few years, and when he gets to the spot and gets the basketball, few teams can contain him with a clean defense.
But… the Knicks actually did it? ? ?
Anthony Mason and Ratliff have this effect? ?
Fan Xi was also very surprised. When he rushed to the front court, his heart turned like electricity.
He feels playful!
Isaiah Thomas’ chaotic lineup actually works in the paint, which means that if we reach the Finals in a chaotic Eastern Conference, we may not have a chance of winning against the Lakers.
So…why can’t this game be used for training?
Fan Xi overturned the previous decision made by the coaching staff to take a strategic rest in this game. At that time, the coaches generally believed that the Lakers were invincible.
But now, Fancie made a decision.
Coming to the frontcourt, Kobe Bryant is still in front of him.
Fan Xi didn’t hesitate, he made a quick dash, then made an emergency stop, and then changed direction… A series of operations, Kobe lost his defensive position, Fan Xi rushed into the penalty area, Fox helped defend, Fan Xi passed the ball, and Sprewell received the ball again. Dash… Madman is the second bat in the relay race!
He rushed into the penalty area and dunked with one hand!
Three dunks in a row!
The Knicks have a fierce start.
This exposed a big problem.
Phil Jackson couldn’t sit still on the sidelines, he stood up and requested a timeout.
He rarely has that.
He has created two and a half dynasties with his own hands and is already the honorary first person among NBA head coaches, although Pat Riley always ridiculed him for relying on stars, and he is useless without superstars.
But over the years, he has really cultivated his ‘forced character’.
Typically, the Lakers never call the first timeout.
But tonight, the Knicks hit their restricted area three times in a row, and they all succeeded.
He realized a serious problem, the Knicks actually broke through their defense with an offense, and it was a direct offensive to the restricted area.
This has never happened before. Even the King Sartmento, who is known for his offense, relied on the outside shot to connect with the smooth ball.
The Zen master had to ask for a time-out.
He remembered the 76ers back then, and he always felt that the Knicks and the 76ers were a bit similar tonight. Back then, the Sixers relied on inside defense to keep O’Neal away, and then Iverson on the outside kept breaking through the penalty area.
At that time, the Sixers could not threaten the Lakers.
But tonight’s Knicks are a real threat.
“If you don’t want to lose, just cheer up.”
Zen master said to his players very seriously: “The Knicks’ play style is very restraining us. Jack Fan is very difficult. We must concentrate and focus again. If there is a slight loophole, he will catch it and enlarge it infinitely.”
Phil Jackson was extremely afraid of Fan Xi, and he was still haunted by the finals that year. If Fan Xi lore Jordan, he should have 9 head coach championship rings in his hand.
“Even when Michael Jordan faced him, he didn’t dare to relax, and he was killed.”
Phil Jackson said this on purpose to Kobe.
He’s a master manipulator, and he knows that Kobe Bryant’s dream is to surpass Jordan, so he now sets a battlefield for Kobe.
Kobe Bryant really fell for it~www.mtlnovel.com~ His expression became more severe.
Obviously, he has the best preparation in his heart.
And he also shouted to O’Neal: “Concentrate, don’t let people steal the victory from the door. It’s like Allen Iverson back then.”
Shaquille O’Neal hated Kobe’s bossiness.
He put away his naughty mentality and said to Kobe: “You just pass the basketball in on time.”
Neither of them gave each other a good face. This is their way of communicating, and they are used to it.
Gary Payton looked up at the championship flag overhead.
If it wasn’t for the championship, who would want to be the younger brother of such a chaotic team?
Standing next to him was Rick Fox, who had played three seasons with Van Heed, which helped him a lot in Hollywood. He knew Van Heed very well, and although he didn’t have the part to say, he still said: “If Jack is Iverson, I think we will lose the game.”
Fox knows Fanshee too well, and Fanshee’s play may be similar to Iverson in some ways.
However, they are essentially two types of players.
Fox’s words got some attention, but they didn’t do much.
Anyway… The Lakers’ defensive tacit understanding is to guard Fan Xi’s breakthrough and let go of his shot.
Moreover, it is necessary to pinch accurately and timely.
As for the rest, leave it alone.
At the same time, Fan Xi on the other side of the bench squinted and closed his eyes.
He suddenly realized one thing: I seem to be less than 1,000 points away from the long 5 million points.
Why not cash it in this game?
