The Point Guard is Here

Kenny Smith was a little at a loss. Although he has always been known for his eloquence, when he saw Fanshie using a standard Jordan-style jumper in the paint to evade the defense and end the offense.

He was choked with words that were stuck in his throat.

Even though he disliked Fanci very, very much, from the moment Fanci led the Knicks to defeat the Rockets to win the championship in 1995, and from the completion of the deal in 1996, after Fanci defeated Jordan and won another championship with the Rockets, his resentment reached The pinnacle.

But even in the long years since then, he has always acted as the bridgehead of Hei Fanxi, frantically outputting opinions for the basketball media.

However, what he has to admit is that Fanshie is indeed unique in breakthroughs and passing. If his shooting is allowed to reach an average level, then he will be the most difficult player to defend from the outside in the league, or even one of them.

After all, although the four major shooting guards are brave, no one really has Fan Xi's full-court thinking. Although Jason Kidd has a good overall view, he is also good at controlling the ball. But his breakthrough and killing ability is not as good as Fan Xi's, and his shooting is not much better than Fan Xi's. The most important thing is... he even lacks some spirituality and evil spirit than Fan Xi.

In the past two or three seasons, everyone has been saying that, including Kenny Smith, who is the biggest commentator, they say that Jason Kidd is the number one point guard in the league. In fact, in Kenny Smith's heart, Fanci is still the number one point guard. He even feels that if Fanci is in the East or if Fanci is in New Jersey, the Nets may not be able to enter the finals.

This season, Fanshie returns to the East.

As expected, he was like a dragon returning to the sea, changing into a murderous and overbearing color. The Knicks took on a new look with his arrival.

Now, he himself has mastered shooting skills in this crucial battle.

It’s over!

Maybe it will be dark next time.

For the first time, Kenny Smith felt this desperate feeling in his heart.

Although he dreamed of the arrival of this day many times at midnight, he just didn't expect... that he would arrive today.

Neither early nor late.

Phil Jackson was the coach who knew Michael Jordan best on the planet when he saw Fanci's shot. He turned his head subconsciously, and he and Old Winter looked at each other.

Both of them had deep fear in their eyes.

Before Fanci hit the shot,

None of them believed that the Eastern Conference had an opponent that could truly threaten the Lakers, but with Fanci's goal falling, they all realized that the Knicks had the potential to challenge for the championship.

Intensify the attack!

Phil Jackson stood up and shouted. With a wave of his hand, the army pressed forward.

Back at halftime, Kobe and O'Neal immediately launched a fierce offensive. The basketball was first passed into the paint. O'Neal made a fierce post-up single, but encountered an early flank attack and quickly passed the basketball to Kobe Bryant.

Kobe entered the penalty area, continued to attract flankers, and passed out... Fox received the basketball... Bang!

Luck was not on their side.

Although they played with a rare tactical understanding this season.

The rebound was protected by the shot blocker and handed to Fan Xi.

Fan Xi rushed forward, and Kobe Bryant tried his best to keep up, but Fan Xi waited until he rushed in front of him and stopped with ease.

Then there’s a breakdown of one-on-one skills under the watchful eye of Kobe Bryant.

Kobe was very familiar with Fanci's offensive skills.

but.

The explosive power that Fan Xi showed tonight was unprecedented. This is equivalent to Fan Xi's speed being a step higher than before, and it was a bit difficult for Kobe to handle it.

Fan Xi's jump shot after turning his back was very easy.

Kobe Bryant tried his best to block shots, but was unable to interfere with Fan Xi at all.

After all, Fan Xi's explosive power and jumping are the best in the league now.

Uh-huh!

The basketball obediently got into the net.

Fanci's fadeaway jumper after this post-up was even 30% more elegant than Michael Jordan's.

Because when Michael Jordan conquered the entire league with this move, his physical fitness was already on a downward trend. At this time, Fan Xi's physical fitness was at an unprecedented peak.

In other words, Fanshie has a high chance of becoming an outside player with peak physical fitness and technology in NBA history.

No one as strong as Michael Jordan could do this. Michael Jordan's career is divided into two stages: His Majesty the Flying Man and The God of Basketball.

The Lakers are in trouble. Kenny Smith finally said these words.

This is also the sentiment of Old Winter and Phil Jackson.

With the implementation of new rules in the league and the increase in Shaquille O'Neal's obesity, the Lakers' dominance has actually been subtly shifting from the penalty area to the perimeter.

Although O'Neal is still the most dominant center in the league today, his dominance has been somewhat shaken.

The Knicks' configuration of Ratliff and Anthony Mason tonight made it impossible for him to be comfortable, not to mention that the Knicks bench also has high-quality defensive centers such as Mutombo and Muhammad...

Of course, the biggest challenge for the Lakers tonight is the outside.

Kobe Bryant already has the demeanor of being the league's best perimeter player. He has gradually taken over the position of a latecomer among the four major shooting guards. Vince Carter's style of play is becoming less and less like a super core. Allen Iverson As age increases, height disadvantage gradually becomes apparent. Although Tracy McGrady has exclusive possession of the ball in the Magic, his aggressiveness and fighting spirit are far less than that of Kobe.

The Lakers are internally ready for Kobe Bryant to become the number one perimeter player. The Buss family even privately promised Kobe Bryant that he would be the next owner of Staples Arena.

However, tonight, Fan Xi broke through.

Uh-huh!

Kobe Bryant finally hit a shot from the frontcourt.

But looking back, when he was defending Fanxi, he once again fell into a disadvantage. Although Fanxi did not attack directly, he assisted the madman Sprewell into the penalty area and scored 2+1 under O'Neal's defense.

O'Neal got his fourth foul.

As Grant aged, Karl Malone, another patron saint of fouls, left the game early, and O'Neal had to expose himself to the front line of defense.

The madman Sprewell is famous for his impact, and his brain is not very easy to use.

Normal people would hide away when they encounter O'Neal, but he doesn't. Not only does he have to bite the bullet, but he also beats his chest and screams after scoring, which makes O'Neal's mentality a bit unbalanced.

But he could only hold it in.

O'Neal is also a tough player, especially in today's era when the league is lacking tough guys.

However, facing the Knicks, he couldn't be arrogant.

Because the Knicks still have people who can subdue him by force, Anthony Mason was known as the ultimate killer in New York. In the evaluation system of the 1990s, he topped the list.

After all, even Barkley couldn't beat O'Neal in a fight. Barkley's slap by Oakley was like a palm fan, and although Oakley was full of evil, in Anthony Mason's mouth, he was just a sissy who only knew how to do dirty things.

Based on this fighting system, how dare O'Neal bare his teeth against Anthony Mason.

In the past, when he was fouled, he would glare at his opponent fiercely, showing off his remaining power as one of the four major centers.

But tonight, no matter how hard Anthony Mason fouled him, he quietly walked to the bench.

As for Madman Sprewell, although he did not fight many tough battles in the 1990s, he was also dealt with by the New York gang. But he has a bad mind. He is the man who almost cost a world-famous head coach his life.

So the fierce ones are afraid of the violent ones, the violent ones are afraid of the life-threatening ones, and the life-threatening ones are afraid of the insane ones.

Madmen are the psychopaths at the top of the food chain.

Uh-huh!

Sprewell made an extra free throw.

He let out another excited wolf howl.

The atmosphere for the Lakers was quite heavy.

In comparison, Kobe Bryant is a mess. Although Kobe Bryant's fighting ability is very poor, his early boxing skills were even teased by Reggie Miller with his feet.

However, he is someone who is completely focused on the game. He doesn't think about anything other than basketball, and he doesn't have any fear. Even if boxing champion Tyson is standing on the court, he will stubbornly and powerfully obliterate his opponents with his basketball skills.

Even if his opponent smashes his fist in front of his face, he only has basketball in his eyes.

Therefore, as usual, he easily passed the madman and then entered the penalty area, but was stopped by Ratliff with a tough foul.

He walked to the free throw line as cold as ice.

Uh-huh!

Uh-huh!

Made two free throws.

This scene made the Buss family sitting in the VIP box quite appreciative. The old Buss firmly believed that Kobe was the future of the team.

O'Neal's training attitude, age and increasing weight made him think there was no way to continue investing in O'Neal.

And in the long history of the Lakers, super centers have always been mercenaries.

Only outside superstars are their roots.

You said, if we trade Shaquille O'Neal to the Knicks for Jack Van, will they refuse? Jenny Buss suddenly made a suggestion.

When she saw Fan Xi shining like Jordan on the court, she couldn't help but want to create another super dynasty similar to the Bulls' structure.

This is indeed a genius idea.

However, Old Bass asked her: What can you do?

Jenny said there was no way. But she said she would talk to the Knicks owner, general manager and Jack.

Old Bass thought it was a fantasy.

There's no way the Knicks would trade Jake Fan, especially after witnessing Fan Shee's surge in strength tonight.

The game continues.

Shaquille O'Neal and Kobe Bryant have reached a very good understanding. Together, they hit a lot of good shots.

Fanci, who has shooting ability, has also become a source of chaos that the Lakers cannot contain. Fanci uses his offensive ability as an opportunity to drive the Knicks' offense to the next level.

The madman Sprewell played in the most relaxed and peak state of his career. With Fanshie, he found the perfect second-in-command feeling.

Although he doesn't have Pippen's assist ability, nor does he have Pippen's height and weight.

However, when he struck, it was really difficult for the Lakers to deal with it.

Moreover, the Knicks' perimeter and penalty area also get opportunities.

Most importantly, this opportunity is established in positional warfare.

It marked the moment when Vanhey could finally rely on his own energy to help a not-so-good lineup go head-to-head with the league's best teams in the half-court.

Before that, Fan Xi could only use tricks.

The Lakers still maintained the lead with 3 minutes left in the fourth quarter.

The power of the OK combination cannot be defeated by Fan Xi's sudden surge in strength, especially since the Knicks' lineup has not yet been fully formed.

However, when Shaquille O'Neal was forced into the penalty area by Vanheed with only 2 minutes and 11 seconds left in the game and forced to commit his sixth foul and leave the field, the Lakers were left with only Kobe Bryant to support him alone.

Although the Lakers still lead by 4 points.

But so what.

Uh-huh!

Uh-huh!

Fan Xi made two free throws first.

Then, he stared closely at Kobe Bryant, who chose to force a shot under his death entanglement... Bang!

Basketball is playing iron. Fan Xi jumped up to a height that completely covered Kobe Bryant's sight, and his strong explosive power made Kobe lose all his shooting rhythm... His skills have not yet reached the level of not being stagnant.

The rebound was easily won by Muhammad... At this time, the Knicks had an absolute advantage in the penalty area.

Fan Xi rushed forward with the ball, and after a feint, he used the screen to avoid Kobe Bryant's defense, jumped up and shot... Whoosh!

Three point hit.

This is Fanci's 45th point tonight.

After he scored, he blew a kiss in Monica's direction.

This made Shaquille O'Neal, who was sitting courtside, bite his finger.

He was sad, but not that sad, because he always knew clearly that any woman Fan Xi had his hands on would never fall in love with him.

Frankly speaking, O'Neal didn't care that much about tonight's failure.

Although he knows that Fan Xi has become stronger, Nicks has also become stronger because of Fan Xi's strength.

But he still feels that even if the game fails, it will not affect the overall situation.

O'Neal has always had a big heart.

And he felt that it was impossible for him to leave with six fouls every night, and if Karl Malone hadn't left the game injured tonight, the Knicks would have had no chance at all.

So, he acted very relaxed.

Instead, he took a serious look at Kobe Bryant's battle with Fanci on the court.

He said to the old Winter next to him: Kobe is still a little green. Even if he scores 80 points in singles, he can't beat Jack.

Old Winter remained silent.

Whoosh!

Kobe used a super fadeaway to complete the offense when there was no space.

Subsequently, Fan Xi entered the penalty area under his defense and succeeded in a layup. He scored his 47 points in the game and also took the lead again.

Kobe followed up with a one-on-one challenge. He always had the attitude of seeking defeat alone.

However, his forced shot was interfered by Fan Xi. Fan Xi's fingernail touched the basketball and the basketball landed midway. However, the rebound was picked up by Fox and he hit the shot. The Lakers were lucky to take the lead again.

After changing sides and fighting again, Fanxi singled out Kobe. He used a post-up to shake Kobe away, used Olajuwon's dream steps, and got a layup with his left hand.

49th point.

There are 31 seconds left in the game.

The Knicks lead by 1 point.

Looking back, Kobe Bryant missed a shot in the attack, turned back to find Fanxi for a foul, and Fanxi made two free throws.

Kobe was in isolation again and missed the shot under the simultaneous attack of Madman and Fanshie... This was his classic style.

The rebound was caught by the Knicks.

Lakers fouled Anthony Mason.

It doesn’t make much sense anymore.

Anthony Mason made two free throws.

The game lost suspense. Kobe Bryant made another strong attack with 5 seconds left, but still missed.

Then, Fanxi was sent to the free throw line.

Fan Xi made two free throws, extending the score to 53 points.

Then, the game ends.

Fan Xi scored 53 points, 13 assists, 11 rebounds, 3 steals and 2 blocks.

Another new away record at Staples Arena.

Of course, the most important thing is what Charles Barkley said.

All of Jack's points tonight came from head-to-head confrontations. He proved with his actions that he has the ability to score at the level of the four major shooting guards. His victory over the OK combination announced to the world that he will lead the Knicks. Gradually dominate the alliance!!

Buckley said confidently.

However, it seems that not many people took his words to heart.

Because he has said too many similar things in the past seven years.

Already like a child herding sheep.

Everyone also thought it was just an ordinary outbreak.
