The Point Guard is Here

Karl Malone was a very good defender when he was young. He was known for his tenacity and he could always give his opponents a fatal blow at critical moments.

However, he is a bit old after all.

This can be seen from the fact that his joining the Lakers was considered to be a big deal, not a group deal.

His peak ended long ago when Michael Jordan stole him at a critical moment and hit the legendary buzzer beater.

Fan Xi ignored Karl Malone with glaring eyes.

His speed is getting faster and faster, one step, two steps!

Fan Xi suddenly soared into the air according to his rhythm. He was like a thunderbolt blooming in the night sky, and he smashed unstoppably towards the Lakers' basket.

Karl Malone originally wanted to jump to block the shot, but Fan Xi was so high that he could only look up, so he had to stretch his arms to block it.

And he was ready to use force, he wanted to pull Fan Xi out of the air.

However, it's too slow!

Fan Xi's instant explosive power is now the best in the league.

When he was above the sky, amazing torque burst out from his waist and abdomen, and before Karl Malone could use his strength to stop him...he came pouring down...Boom!

He slammed the basketball over Karl Malone's head into the basket with both hands.

When Fan Xi grabbed the basket with both hands, it was meaningless for Malone to try harder.

On the contrary, there was a greater reaction force, and Fanci's swing made Karl Malone stagger.

Old people lose their strength and strength.

Karl Malone, who suffered the violent buckle, staggered backwards under the strong reaction force, and sat on the ground. As severe pain came from his tail vertebra, what he saw when he raised his head was Fan Xi's posture as if he was a god descending to earth.

Fan Xi jumped down from the basket.

The entire Staples Arena emitted uncontrollable waves of shock as they were conquered by Fanci's violent dunk.

No one expected that Fanshie would contribute the first of the five best goals in the opening game.

Karl Malone, who is known for his strength, was unexpectedly knocked to the ground by him in such a brutal dunk.

After Fan Xi landed, he reached out to pull Ma Long.

But Karl Malone waved his hand and refused. Malone gasped and said with trembling teeth. "I need a doctor."

Old players are experienced and take much better care of their bodies than young guys. Once symptoms appear, they will immediately terminate the game.

The referee suspended the game, and the Lakers team doctor rushed up to check.

The big screen overhead continued to replay the dunk scene just now, and various aftermaths were heard in Staples Arena.

Charles Barkley was very happy. He boasted triumphantly on the bench: "Who else in the league today has a stronger dunk than Jack? I have long said that Jack has been quietly accumulating strength, and he will one day overturn this league. Among the four defenders, none are big enough for Jack!”

Barkley's voice was undoubtedly a bit harsh for Kenny Smith.

When he was still playing, Fanci often abused him, and he was also used as an extra to trade Fanci, and the Rockets won the championship in the season when they got Fanci.

When people mention that deal, they always talk about how brilliant the Rockets are and how great Jack is. It was a great disservice to this sensitive nobody.

Therefore, after he entered the commentary industry, he has always lacked objective judgment on Fan Xi.

He always preaches that Fanshie relies on luck to survive in the league and maintains his status as a superstar by relying on his strong off-court influence.

But now, he was a little speechless.

It is a real fact that Fanci dunked Karl Malone over.

Even Shaquille O'Neal made exaggerated expressions on the court, and then even pretended to run over to rub Fan Xi's shoulders and back.

The relationship between O'Neal and Fanci has always been very good. Until now, many people still regret that Fanci did not join the same team as O'Neal in the summer of 1996. If the Lakers had Fanci, Kobe, and O'Neal at the same time, this team would have no suspense. including all championships.

And Phil Jackson firmly believed that if Fanshie was in the team locker room, Kobe and O'Neal would not have a fight at all.

Karl Malone was lying on a stretcher and was taken out by a forklift. He was miserable.

It's like killing a pig during the Chinese New Year and just scalding it.

This scene made the new Grant feel a little sad.

Grant is an experienced veteran who played a major role in the Lakers' three consecutive championships and also played alongside Michael Jordan.

From a certain perspective, today's Lakers have indeed reached the end of the periodic law.

O'Neal is getting fatter and fatter. Don't expect this guy to train hard in the offseason to lose fat.

Of course, this is also a way for him to protect himself. A giant center like him should move as little as possible during the offseason. Frequent training will increase the risk of injury.

This is why Fan Xi keeps warning Yao Huang, the younger brother of the national team, to pay attention to rest and play as few games as possible during the offseason.

Fan Xi's suggestions are very effective in China.

In fact, Wang Zhizhi also entered the NBA in 1998 with the help of Fan Xi. He was selected by the Golden State Warriors with the 25th overall pick in the first round. He is currently in his sixth season.

Although his performance did not surpass Dirk Nowitzki of the Mavericks as he said, he was really handy on the offensive end. He had a full set of and skillful offensive firepower, and his left-handed shooting made him even more elusive. He also accepted Fanxi's suggestions. , spreading the offensive firepower beyond the three-point line.

Dazhi is already considered an elite player in the NBA. He has a stable rotation position and has been in it for two or three seasons.

However, he also suffered injuries last season. This season's offensive efficiency has declined, which makes him want to retire. He may return to China after the end of this four-year, $30 million contract.

There are currently 2 years left on this contract.

Compared with another time and space, his ambition was to return to China after failing to play in the NBA, and at one point he had trouble with the national team and club. The ambition in this time and space can be said to have no regrets.

Fan Xi has truly changed the fate of many people.

Of course, he can't change the fate of many people.

For example, Elgin Baylor, Baylor is really a god and cannot be saved. He can always use his unique talent to solve the wrong questions while getting the correct answer.

This is probably a kind of inertia of fate.

Kobe Bryant's fate is also very inert.

When Shaquille O'Neal pretended to be "pleasing" with Fan Xi, as one of Fan Xi's best friends, he showed his most tenacious attitude.

He faced Sprewell's defense, and he successfully beat the madman with his back with skillful skills, and used a turn-over jump shot to send the basketball into the basket.

Turning around, he stared at Fan Xi.

Kobe may be the guard who knows Fanci the best in the world.

He was very aware of Fan Xi's fake moves and technical details.

But this time, he was still thrown away.

Because Fan Xi has more powerful explosive kinetic energy than before, just like a sports car with a new engine...and it is faster in corners.

Bryant was unstoppable.

He was passed by Fancy, who drove into the paint. O'Neal and Fox came up at the same time. Fancy passed the ball...Ratliff received the ball and dunked!

The shot-blocking king is still in his prime.

He has a good defense, and he's not exactly a bad guy offensively.

Moreover, he listened to Fan Xi's words. He had never worked with such a good point guard in his life, so he showed moves that he had never seen before.

O'Neal missed the back door and he was very angry. He yelled at Fan Xi: You are a bad guy.

Vansh says you are a little guy.

When O'Neill heard this, he became unhappy. He stared at his eyes and lowered his voice: Didn't you agree not to mention this matter?

Fan Xi didn't react for a moment.

He originally wanted to make some sarcastic remarks to ridicule O'Neal's size, but he didn't expect that he actually touched on O'Neal's shortcomings.

Gaffe! Gaffe!

Fan Xi smiled awkwardly.

This incident can be traced back to 2000. After the All-Star Game, Fanci was dragged to a high-end club by Anthony Mason. Unexpectedly, as soon as he entered there, he heard O'Neal arguing with others. He was not satisfied with the woman's service. Also a curmudgeon, she blasted that aspect of O'Neal.

They happened to be bumped into by Fan Xi and Mason.

Therefore, O'Neill didn't want to mention those things when he met Fanxi 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 impact all his life, but he couldn't bear the second impact... After all, O'Neal's tonnage and natural power, It is beyond human reach.

Being able to withstand the first blow is already rare in today's league.

Successfully delayed O'Neal's killing.

This created favorable conditions for Ratliff's double attack. Sure enough, when O'Neal dunked for the second time, Ratliff rushed up and interfered abruptly... Bang!

Basketball and iron.

Fan Xi rushed into the penalty area and picked up the rebound.

This scene stunned Phil Jackson.

O'Neal has been a super killer for the Lakers in the past few years. When he gets into position and receives the ball, almost no team can contain him with a clean defense.

But...the Knicks actually did it? ? ?

Anthony Mason and Ratliff actually have this effect? ?

Fan Xi was also very surprised. His heart was pounding as he ran towards the frontcourt.

He feels that there is something interesting!

Isiah Thomas's haphazard lineup actually worked in the paint. In other words, if we reach the finals in the chaotic Eastern Conference, we may not have no chance of winning when facing the Lakers.

So...why can't this game be used for training?

Fanxi overturned the previous decision of the coaching staff to take a strategic break in this game. At that time, the coach generally believed that the Lakers were invincible. There was a huge difference in strength between the two, and there was no need to go head-to-head with the Lakers.

But now, Vansh makes a decision.

Coming to the frontcourt, Kobe Bryant is still standing in front of him.

Fanxi didn't hesitate at all. He rushed in quickly, then stopped suddenly, and then changed direction... In a series of operations, Kobe lost his defensive position, Fanxi rushed into the penalty area, Fox came to help defend, Fanxi passed the ball, and Sprewell received the ball again Rushing in... The madman is like the second leg of the relay race!

He rushed into the penalty area and dunked with one hand!

Three consecutive dunks!

The Knicks started off fiercely.

This exposes a big problem.

Phil Jackson could no longer sit still on the sidelines. He stood up and asked for a timeout.

He rarely does this.

Having created two and a half dynasties with his own hands, he is already the most honored head coach in the NBA, although Pat Riley always ridiculed him for relying on stars and being useless without superstars.

But over the years, he has really developed his "strong character".

Normally, the Lakers never call the first timeout.

But tonight, the Knicks attacked their penalty area three times in a row and succeeded.

He realized a serious problem. The Knicks actually broke through their defense with offense, and it was an offense that went straight to the penalty area.

This has never happened before. Even the Kings of Sartmento, who are known for their offense, relied on outside shooting to connect with smooth ball possession.

The Zen master had to ask for a timeout.

He thought of the Sixers back then, and he always felt that the Knicks tonight were a bit like the Sixers. Back then, the Sixers relied on inside defense to wear down O'Neal, and then Iverson on the outside kept breaking into the penalty area.

The Sixers at that time could not threaten the Lakers.

But tonight the Knicks posed a real threat.

"If you don't want to lose, everyone should keep their spirits up."

Zen Master said to his players extremely seriously: "The Knicks' style of play is very restrained against us. Jack Fan is very difficult to deal with. You must focus and focus again. If there is even the slightest loophole, he will catch it and magnify it infinitely."

Phil Jackson was extremely afraid of Fanci. He was still brooding about that year's finals. If Fancied hadn't defeated Jordan, he would have had nine head coaching championship rings in his hands now.

"Even Michael Jordan didn't dare to relax when he faced him, and he even killed him."

Phil Jackson said this to Kobe on purpose.

He is a master at manipulating people's hearts. He knows that Kobe Bryant dreams of surpassing Jordan, so he has now set up a battlefield for Kobe.

Kobe Bryant was indeed fooled, and his expression became even more stern.

Obviously, he has made the best preparations in his heart.

And he also shouted to O'Neal: "Pay attention and don't let anyone steal the victory at home. Just like Allen Iverson back then."

O'Neal hated Kobe's bossing around.

He put away his naughty mentality and said to Kobe: "You just need to pass the basketball in on time."

Neither of them gives each other a good look. This is their way of communicating and they are used to it.

Gary Payton looked up at the championship banner above his head.

If it wasn't for the championship, who would want to be the younger brother of such a chaotic team.

Standing nearby was Rick Fox, who had played with Fancy for three seasons, which helped a lot with his reputation in Hollywood. He knew Fanci very well. Although he had no right to speak, he still said: "If Jack is regarded as Iverson, I think we will lose the game."

Fox knows Fanci too well, and Fanci's style of play may be similar to Iverson in some aspects.

However, they are essentially two types of players.

Fox's words got some attention, but had little effect.

Anyway...the Lakers' defensive understanding is to defend Fanshie's breakthrough and let go of his shooting.

Moreover, pincer attacks must be carried out accurately and timely.

As for the rest, ignore it.

At the same time, Fan Xi on the other side of the bench squinted his eyes and closed his eyes to rest.

He suddenly realized something: I seemed to be less than 1,000 points away from the long-awaited 5 million points.

Why not cash it in this game?
