Staples Arena, a sports center in downtown Los Angeles, California, United States.

The most top and most sacred arena in the NBA.

Here, countless NBA superstars have left legends and touching scenes that will go down in history. For NBA superstars, being able to leave records in this arena is something worth writing about.

On February 22, 2011, the arena was filled with people.

Fan Xi sat at the end of the Lakers bench with a confused and worried look, looking up at the top of the arena, where the jersey numbers of retired Los Angeles Lakers stars and 17 championship flags were densely hung, witnessing the game.

The team’s glorious past.

Fanci is a temporary player of the Lakers. He signed a 10-day short-term contract with the Lakers 10 days ago. Because at that time, the team's guards Steve Blake and Ron Artest were injured.

, lack of manpower.

Although Fanshie is undrafted, he is known as a defensive madman in the NCAA, and the Lakers want to give him a try.

But he hasn't had a chance to play in the past nine days, and today is the tenth day.

If nothing unexpected happens, Fan Xi will leave the Lakers with his backpack.

Completely ruining his NBA dream journey.

In the NBA, players are divided into several levels. Kobe Bryant, the leader of the Lakers, and LeBron James are the face players of the league, transcending superstars. Then there are the bosses of each team, who are considered superstars. Then there are

All-stars, then elite players, starters, rotation players, bench players... and finally, temporary workers like Fansheem with 10-day short-term contracts.

If you perform well within 10 days, you can get a non-guaranteed contract.

But for Fan Xi, this seems to be an unattainable dream, because he has no performance at all.

Fan Xi lowered his head and stretched slightly, and found that there was a small iron pipe protruding from the seat in front of him, as if it was natural... He quickly stretched out his legs to put it on... and his lower body was relieved.

Beep!

Interim head coach Winter requested a timeout.

The Lakers fell behind by 7 points, with only 1 minute and 11 seconds left in the game.

Fan Xi looked up and saw that the fans around him had very frustrated and panic expressions, showing no confidence to defend the championship.

Since entering February, the Lakers have lost 6 out of 8 games. If they lose to the Warriors, a weak team in the same division, tonight, the Lakers' record will drop to sixth in the Western Conference.

It's absolutely a shame for the Lakers, who just won two consecutive championships.

The Lakers have been so unlucky recently.

Legendary head coach Phil Jackson was diagnosed with testicular cancer last month. He frequently travels to and from the hospital. As a spiritual leader, his absence has a great impact on morale.

Two minutes ago, Kobe Bryant sprained his ankle due to a defensive mistake and was helped back to the locker room by the team doctor for further examination.

Now he is pushed into a desperate situation by the Warriors.

No wonder there were sighs and sighs at the scene, and some fans even left the venue early.

Kobe's departure and low morale left them with no hope. They didn't believe that anyone else could step forward to save the team and defend the glory of Staples Arena.

Tonight is destined to be the second-year rookie's show of fame.

That little guy named Stephen Curry will undoubtedly leave his mark at Staples Center and become a shining star.

The reason why Curry broke out was because the Warriors' core guard Monta Ellis was injured at the beginning of the third quarter. At that time, everyone thought the Warriors were finished.

Unexpectedly, the cute-looking No. 30 player stood up from the Warriors bench and unleashed vicious three-point firepower. He put the Lakers into a passive position and even caused Kobe Bryant to sprain his ankle while chasing him.

Fan Xi is very familiar with Curry.

They were college classmates. They led the team to the NCAA semi-finals together and were the backcourt duo of Davidson College. Stephen Curry was known for his offense, and Fanshie was a defensive expert at that time. One offense and one defense, they swept the NCAA.

But now, Curry is high-spirited and has a bright future, but Fan Xi is still sitting on the bench?? Alas!

He sighed.

at this time.

Boom!

There was a violent sound of lightning from the top of Staples Arena, and the lighting system of the entire arena shook violently.

This caused a panic in the arena, and everyone felt that the thunder was too violent.

But in the midst of the panic, Fan Xi, who was sitting in the most inconspicuous corner of the Lakers bench, suddenly shuddered, and a strong electric current passed through his body.

At that time, the whole person fell to the ground, his expression was shocked and dumbfounded.

It turned out that the small iron pipe he was stepping on was actually connected to the lightning protection system of this arena that had witnessed countless histories. Today, when the workers were laying the floor, they didn't cover it... But Fan Xi stepped on it again.

The most important thing is that a once-in-a-century thunder struck the lightning rod on the top of the arena, triggering the entire lightning system.

The electric current formed a violent cycle in Fan Xi's body.

Immediately, Fan Xi felt a brilliant halo suddenly forming in his mind.

There was also faint lightning in the halo, and the movement of human figures.

After careful identification, they turned out to be the hazy shadows of some NBA superstars.

As his emotions fluctuated violently, an image of Reggie Miller flashed out from the halo... Then Fan Xi was stunned. He felt a secret power surrounding his entire body, all cells, all Muscles...even capillaries and hairs are involved.

His whole body was shaken up, and his whole body was filled with an unprecedented power. His interpretation of shooting reached a terrifying level.

At the same time, the aura in his mind gradually dimmed, and Fan Xi was given the consciousness that as long as the aura lit up again, he would be able to obtain certain physical attributes of the superstars who left a deep impression on this arena. Or technology.

The way the halo lights up is very simple: the mood fluctuates to the extreme, generating its own brain waves, stimulating it to light up.

Fan Xi was extremely happy.

Reggie Miller's shooting! In the future, there will be many technical or physical talents of many superstars who have left great achievements in this arena!

Developed!

Reggie Miller!

Reggie Miller is recognized as the leading shooter in NBA history. In the 1990s, he relied on his one-handed shooting to compete with Jordan, and even nailed Patrick Ewing and his New York Knicks to the pillar of shame.

Fan Xi couldn't be more surprised. The ability he lacked most before was his shooting ability.

He quickly stood up and walked towards the team's assistant coach, Old Winter. He expressed his strong desire to seize this opportunity: because after tonight, he would never have the chance again.

When Old Winter saw Fan Xi approaching, he looked at him resolutely. He was a little surprised. He had never seen such confident and energetic eyes.

Fan Xi has left a deep impression on him in the past nine days. He is the assistant coach in charge of training, so Fan Xi's efforts all fall into his eyes.

Although this Chinese boy's physical fitness is not as good as that of black players, and his offensive ability is also lacking, he is very diligent in defense, very smart, and has a high level of understanding of tactics.

So, somehow? He wanted to give this guy a chance.

Anyway? It looks like there is no chance of winning.

"Jack, come here."

He waved and called Fan Xi's English name.

This made other players raise their eyebrows and wonder why they were substituted as a substitute at this critical moment?

Steve Blake is the second point guard of the Lakers. He thought that after Kobe Bryant was injured, he should go on the court with Fisher at this time and use shooting to solve the problem, instead of replacing this one? I don’t know where?

The Chinese kid who came out has no shot at all.

"Coach Winter, I'm not questioning you. But, do you really want to replace him at this time? We still have a chance to win. There is no need to surrender!"

Steve Blake said bluntly.

His superior attitude did not take Fan Xi seriously at all.

In the past, he often bossed Fan Xi around on the training ground. Although he did not hold a big position in the Lakers, he was the harshest person to Fan Xi. He habitually refused to pass the ball to Fan Xi, and also deliberately criticized Fan Xi.

Fan Xi's style of play.

In order to maintain his fragile self-esteem.

Fan Xi didn't argue with Steve Blake before, after all, he was just a temporary worker.

But tonight, he felt confident.

He said extremely toughly to Blake: "It's better for me to play than for you to play. I know Curry, he and I were college teammates, and I will not be beaten by Curry until I raise my hands and surrender. Moreover, when it comes to shooting, you

He is no match for me at all."

Fanci said confidently, and also mocked Blake for being helpless when he was beaten by Stephen Curry.

This made Steve Blake angry. He glared at Fan Xi: "What a loud tone, you are asking for your own destruction."

Fan Xi stared at him coldly: "Whether it's self-destruction or not, just stand here and see!"

Old Winter made up his mind. He was the temporary head coach who replaced Phil Jackson. Phil Jackson went to the hospital for a physical examination in the past few days. He did not want his authority to be challenged during this period of acting as head coach: Steve Bray

K is a bit self-righteous.

so.

"Jack, come on."

Old Winter picked up the tactical board and demonstrated tactics on the tactical board.

Beep!

The whistle soon sounded and the game continued.

When Derek Fisher, Fancy, Matt Barnes, Pau Gasol, and Andrew Bynum stepped onto the court.

The CCTV host was surprised.

"Our Fan Xi is on the court! Fan Xi is actually on the court! Has the Lakers announced garbage time?"

The host blurted out.

In his opinion, Fan Xi's level should be such that he can only get a chance to play during garbage time.

The commentator next to him quickly reminded him: "With Bynum and Gasol both here, it shouldn't be garbage time. Fanci is likely to have high tactical expectations!"

His words made the land of China instantly look forward to it.

Fan Xi is the second Chinese guard to land in the NBA, although he never got a chance before.

But countless fans hope that Fan Xi can carry the banner of Chinese basketball and become famous in the NBA. Just like Yao Bian? But Yao Bian has an impressive height, and Fan Xi's body has no advantage at all in the NBA.

Fanshi came to the court and he was very calm.

When veteran Fisher brought the basketball to the frontcourt, he quickly started running. He had a strong understanding of tactics. He quickly cut into the penalty area, used Bynum's body as a screen, and ran out immediately to defend him.

The person was blocked behind Bynum.

He was completely open, and he reached for the ball.

Fisher hesitated for a moment and quickly passed the ball.

Fan Xi received the basketball and took off the ball very decisively and firmly. The movement was natural and even more standard than the textbook.

The old coach Winter standing next to him was dumbfounded: Little Jack's shooting gestures before were not like this!

Whoosh!

The basketball slid out of a perfect arc and landed hollowly in the net.

115:119.

With 1 minute and 03 seconds left in the game, Fan Xi's 3-pointer narrowed the point difference to 4 points.

yes!!

Old Winter waved his fist vigorously, he was right in his bet.

"Jack? Van! Van!"

Staples Center suddenly burst out with turbulent energy that had been suppressed for a long time, and the fans' cheers almost lifted the ceiling.

Fan Xi waved to them, not forgetting to show off his muscles to Steve Blake.

This made the fans cheer louder, and they pinned all their hopes on Fanshie.

After Kobe Bryant left due to injury, the City of Angels desperately needed a new savior to step up.

Now, it seems that it should be this young player who suddenly bursts out from the bench.

Steve Blake curled his lips in disapproval on the sidelines. He felt that Fanshie's three-pointer was just bad luck.

"Three points! Three points! Three points!! Fan Xi has made a meritorious service! Fan Xi has made a meritorious service!!"

The CCTV host yelled on the TV. He felt more comfortable than ever. He didn't expect Fan Xi to hit a three-pointer at such a critical moment.

"If it's stable, if it's stable, Fan Xi should be able to stay on the Lakers roster."

The host said very optimistically.

The ball commentator next to him reminded: "It's just a three-pointer, which is not reliable enough. What else can he do??"

Before the ball commentator finished speaking, Fan Xi went straight to Stephen Curry.

The two are classmates at Davis College and have been partners with each other for two years. They have a very good relationship. They are not only teammates but also roommates? They are also good brothers who chase girls together.

Perhaps the person who knows Stephen Curry best in the world is Fanci.

Now, Fan Xi stands opposite Curry.

Curry is a little nervous. He has made great progress since entering the NBA. However, when they were sparring in college, Fan Xi always had a way to make him feel uncomfortable because Fan Xi could predict his movements.

Curry made a sharp change of direction, and his progress was indeed rapid.

I don’t know how much better than when I was in college.

However, his shrugging action before starting did not change. Fan Xi keenly caught it and blocked Curry in advance.

Curry changed direction and attacked without success.

Turn around quickly.

Fan Xi quickly entangled him, not giving him any room to maneuver.

Curry lost the chance to take action and had to pass the basketball to Elsoton.

El Thornton got the basketball, and the Lakers defensive champion Matt Barnes quickly entangled him and used his strong body to force Thornton to pass the ball. Under the strong defense, Thornton had to pass to David Lee. How could he know the basketball?

As soon as the ball was passed out, Pau Gasol went straight forward and intercepted the basketball with his amazing long arms.

The Lakers get the ball.

Great defense success!

Staples Arena was filled with excited cheers again.

Fan Xi locked up Curry, who was previously unguardable, and made a great contribution.

On the way back to halftime, Matt Barnes couldn't help but walk over and pat Fan Xi on the head. "Great job, kid."

Fan Xi smiled.
Chapter completed!
