Chapter 303 This is the best New Year's gift(1/2)
Oh ho ho!!
"Jake played Ron Artest, and it was the best breakout shot of the season... no, it was the best breakout shot in the last five years. Jack made Artest kneel down, and the rest of Artest's life will be about this."
It’s hard to sleep at this humiliating moment.”
"I have never seen such a cruel breakthrough. Jack was so cruel. He knocked Artest to his knees, and he turned around and hit a 3-pointer over Artest's head, using a practice shooting method."
"Oh, God!"
"Why do stupid humans want to provoke the young Duke?"
TNT commentator Kenny Smith roared excitedly on the TV. The audience in front of the TV was already excited. They were so excited that they complemented the tsunami-like cheers in Staples Arena on the TV.
This ball is so powerful!
It was simply a public execution.
At the same time, the hosts on Chinese TV were even more crazy and excited: "Fancy knocked down Artest. On the first goal of the new year, Fancy made the best defensive player kneel in front of us."
"Artest doesn't have this ability at all. He can't guard Fan Xi. He can only kneel down. He can only kneel down to give us New Year greetings."
"I can't remember all the nonsense he said before the game. It was like a lame duck's death roar, meaningless."
"Fan Xi, you are indeed Fan Xi!"
"He is the pride of our Chinese fans. No one is as powerful as him, and no one can dare to provoke him in front of him."
"Anyone who openly offends Fan Xitian's power will be punished no matter how strong he is."
The CCTV commentator became more and more majestic as he spoke, making the audience in front of the TV feel a strong sense of pride and pride in the New Year.
Didn't Artest say before the game that he would take advantage of this holiday to embarrass Fan Xi? Now, Fan Xi will let you, a domineering guy, kneel down and kowtow to celebrate the New Year in accordance with our Chinese rules.
Artest ignored the pain in his knee on the court. He stood up hard and wanted to punch Fanci. He had never experienced such humiliation in his life. Even at the Palace of Auburn Hills, no more than 20,000 people laughed at him like this.
.
He felt like a clown.
He wanted to kill the culprit in front of him.
However, when he was about to stand up, Jordan and Leonard came over, and they looked at Artest eagerly.
Atai's fire of ignorance was automatically reduced.
At this time, Chris Paul also came to comfort him: We will call back later.
Artest looked at the big screen above his head, which was replaying the process of being teased just now...The NBA's courtside cameras are too high-definition.
Despair emerged in his heart. Amidst the waves of voices in the audience, he clearly realized that he would never be able to hit the ball back in his life.
This is far beyond his capabilities.
He sullenly ran towards the frontcourt.
Chris Paul is just talking, there is no way he can pass the basketball to Ron Artest.
Facing Fanci's aggressive defense, the league's No. 1 point guard Sao Paulo, who said he was going to stop the ball last time but failed to do so, was cautious.
He adjusted his breakthrough path back and forth, and after failing to get a good space, he quickly passed the ball to Kobe.
Kobe posted up to Leonard, turned over and shot a jumper, boom!
Missed the basketball.
Jordan jumped up and grabbed the rebound over Howard's head. He was aggressive and looked like he was fighting for his life.
In fact, the same is true for Leonard.
The Lakers players felt the unique temperament of the Clippers as soon as they came on the court. The Clippers were murderous tonight, and they seemed to be out for revenge.
Jordan passes the basketball to Fan Xi.
Fanci was brought to the frontcourt and he glanced at Ron Artest. Artest pretended not to see it and ran to chase Hamilton with his tail between his legs.
Softie!
Fan Xi said contemptuously.
Then, he handed the basketball directly to Nowitzki, who opened the singles.
Nowitzki faced fellow European Pau Gasol. They played against each other very frequently and knew each other well.
Gasol's defensive ability on the outside is pretty good, he's just a bit soft in the paint. His exaggerated wingspan can form a terrifying help defense area when opened.
However, Nowitzki only used two fake moves to beat him, plus a pull-up jump shot... Wow!
The basketball fell into the net.
The Clippers and the Christmas game are completely different.
The Clippers in the Christmas game relied more on running and the connection between teammates. Now that the Clippers have strong offensive points, their positioning and running have declined somewhat. If Hamilton is not on the court, the space will be even more cramped.
This is why Fan Xi must master the pick-and-roll technique.
But now, Fan Xi feels there is no need to play pick-and-roll.
Let's start with a tough battle with the Lakers to open everyone's eyes and take a look at the Clippers' current financial situation.
Even if the Clippers don't play coordination, they can still be considered a strong team in the league in stand-up singles.
In the past, people said that Fan Xi was very secretive and had many weapons in his arsenal that he had not taken out. Fan Xi really had the idea of "pretending to be a pig and eating the tiger" to hide his secrets.
After all, in the regular season, there is no need to show all your trump cards.
After Nowitzki scored, Chris Paul and Gasol played a pick-and-roll. He quickly passed down, and when he reached the mid-range, Sao Paulo quickly threw... Wow!
Paul's mid-range ability is very, very strong.
Otherwise, he wouldn't be called the league's number one point guard.
However, Fan Xi feels that Paul's position as the first point guard will not be long. Even without him, he will soon disappear. He is like the leader of point guards in the transitional period of the league, during the Tang, Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing Dynasties, he was one of them.
The Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms were short-lived and not glorious.
There is no other reason. The tide of the times has come. As a traditional point guard, Paul's market is shrinking.
Paul is a relatively fast point guard, but doesn't like to play fast breaks. He can break into the paint area, but his shooting rate is not high, especially after a serious injury. His explosive power has declined. In addition, Paul is not a qualified three-pointer.
shooter.
As the Money Ball era is coming, Chris Paul will have a long career and beautiful high-level statistics with this healthy and efficient style of play. However, he will not be the league's number one point guard for too long.
In fact, there is another problem with Paul. He does not have real offensive ability, although he averages about 20 points per game and looks very powerful.
However, his scoring is not very explosive. He is a mature and steady point guard. Give him a bad team and he can quickly integrate his playoff capabilities, but in the playoffs, his key capabilities are in doubt. Therefore, many
People laughed at Paul for not having touched the floor of the Western Conference Finals.
Of course, Paul is a seamless fit in the current Lakers camp. He is suitable to partner with a super singles player like Kobe. As long as he does not take over the ball.
The Lakers retreated quickly, and Fanci slowly arrived in the frontcourt and continued to hand the basketball to Nowitzki.
The German King opened the singles.
Fan Xi stayed on the weak side and wandered.
This made the Lakers dare not double attack Nowitzki.
To some extent, Nowitzki has obtained the most relaxed singles environment in his career.
Therefore, Nowitzki's ball directly knocked Gasol away. He entered the paint area and picked the basketball into the basket with one hand.
Very relaxed and calm.
For Nuo Tianwang, playing singles is like eating and drinking. It has already become a conditioned reflex of the body.
After all, this is the power forward with the strongest singles ability in NBA history.
Kobe fired back at halftime.
Similarly, when Kobe opened a singles game, the Clippers did not dare to attack from a double flank.
Because the Lakers have more scoring points, once they are flanked, there will be mismatches.
"They seem to be playing like they were taught by a coach. It's hard to tell the winner when they play like this." Kenny Smith scratched the back of his head.
Charles Barkley complained on TV: "Isn't this just the triangle offense versus the triangle offense? It's all abridged."
Both sides come and go.
The Clippers focus on Nowitzki, and the Lakers focus on Kobe Bryant.
Two contemporary superstars performed their solo shows on the super stage of Staples.
Driven by their powerful offensive capabilities, the two sides fought inextricably, and no one could break the other's moves.
The two head coaches, D'Antoni and Mike Brown, were watching from the sidelines. They were no different from the nearest spectators at the scene. Their expressions were like watching their children fight, but they were not using their own moves.
For the head coach, this is a failure.
Fortunately, Mike Brown doesn't care.
He has always regarded himself as a defensive coach.
To be continued...
