Chapter 2

~7 min read 1,235 words

Fisher brought the basketball to the front court.

At this time, there were 47 seconds left until the end of the game.

Fan Xi ran quickly, and the Warriors didn't learn their lesson; they didn't have enough understanding of Fan Xi's ability.

Reggie Williams was careless in his defense of Fan Xi, which allowed Fan Xi to quickly complete a cross-court big crossover. He used Bynum's screen and Pau Gasol's cross to the high post to successfully run to the top of the three-point arc? With the experience from the first time, Fisher immediately passed the basketball over.

Fan Xi received the basketball and shot at the first opportunity?? The movement was still so elegant, so graceful, and so natural!

The moment he jumped up, his figure was as elegant as a work of art.

The basketball drew a beautiful arc in the air.

Finally, it fell into the net clearly and accurately?? Swish!

White waves rose.

Another 3-pointer.

118:119.

Only 1 point difference.

The DJ at the scene shouted Fan Xi's name with a hurried voice: Jack-Fan! Fan! Fan! Fan!

Dragging out the long sound, he set off the overwhelming enthusiasm of the Staples Center.

After this magical kid Fan Xi came on the court, he rewrote the situation, hitting two consecutive 3-pointers to narrow the Lakers' originally huge point difference to 1 point.

Victory was in sight!

Excited fans shouted Fan Xi's name.

The Lakers' bench was full of excitement.

Only Steve Blake was dumbfounded, he couldn't believe it?? Didn't that kid not know how to shoot at all in the training camp? How did he suddenly hit 3-pointers in a row? Could he really be the so-called Miracle Child?

Beep!

The Warriors' head coach requested a timeout.

There were 35 seconds left.

The Warriors went from leading by 7 points to leading by 1 point, and their mentality was already unstable.

Their head coach, Smart, asked in a panic on the bench: "Who is that No. 10 player? Where did he pop out from, I want to know all his information!!"

The originally certain victory was destroyed just like that, and the result became confusing.

"Sir, he is my college classmate."

Stephen Curry walked over and told the panicked Coach Smart.

Coach Smart seemed to have grabbed a life-saving straw, and he hurriedly asked: "That's great, Stephen, tell me what technical characteristics your college classmate has, we must find a way to target him, we can't let him continue to be so wanton."

Stephen Curry pursed his lips and said very seriously: "Sir, I might not be able to give you more accurate information. Because before this, he was a defensive expert, he wasn't good at shooting, especially from outside the three-point line."

What???

Smart was stunned.

That No. 10 kid isn't even a shooter, then how is he so accurate?

This trapped Smart's thinking.

Then what should be done?

Stephen Curry didn't know either. Curry was a 2009 lottery pick, and Fan Xi was a 2010 undrafted player; it was originally difficult for the two to have any intersection in professional basketball.

However, tonight. Just as Stephen Curry opened the curtain to becoming the core of the Warriors, his good brother appeared on the opposite side.

So? Whose breakout game will tonight be?

Smart made the final arrangement, letting the team's best perimeter defender, Dorell Wright, defend Fan Xi.

Dorell Wright was 2.01 meters tall and an experienced small forward. In contrast, Fan Xi was only 1.93 meters tall barefoot; although his arms were very long, using such a taller and longer-armed small forward to deal with him, he would definitely find it difficult to perform.

While Smart was making the final deployment, the Lakers were also making their final deployment.

With Fan Xi hitting two consecutive 3-pointers, the Lakers had recovered, and with the strength of a defending champion, everyone had the belief that they would win this home victory.

At this time, that insidious guy Steve Blake actually wanted to steal Fan Xi's credit. He actually said while Coach Lao Wente was arranging tactics: "Coach, I think Fan's task is already completed. His two unexpected three-pointers brought great damage to the Warriors, and next, the Warriors will definitely increase their defensive intensity. At this time, why don't we replace him and let me go up, I can stabilize the situation??"

Blake said without changing his expression or heart rate.

His thoughts made everyone around look sideways: this is too bullying. Bullying Jack for being a short-term contract player, actually wanting to steal his credit just like that.

It's really bullying people too much, with a vicious heart.

Lao Wente couldn't stand it either and was about to refuse him.

Who knew that Fan Xi actually stepped forward directly.

The world thinks that Chinese people are gentle, kind, respectful, and yielding; when Yao Ming played, he was even infringed upon, yet he still treated people with benevolence and righteousness.

However, Fan Xi is an outlier.

He doesn't look for trouble.

But he is never afraid of trouble.

He played in the American college basketball scene for many years and knew deeply that if others bullied you and you retreated, they would become even worse, and only when you show your fist will they be in awe.

So, Blake reached his dirty hand into his pocket to steal his fruits of victory, how could he tacitly agree?

He pushed Steve Blake away and told him with a fierce attitude: "You don't even need to think about this kind of thought. The coach has his arrangements, and what I can do, you will never be able to do."

"Besides, I want to tell you. You want to steal my credit, and I also want to steal your playing time. Let's wait and see!"

Fan Xi exposed his ambition openly.

In the American sports circle, it has always been the law of the jungle.

Professional sports are even more so.

Whoever can steal playing time can get more data, and whoever can get more data can get a bigger contract? And walk to the peak of life.

Fan Xi wouldn't be polite to this person who suppressed him.

Steve Blake obviously didn't expect the previously silent Fan Xi to suddenly give him a fierce knife at this time, and he was shocked by Fan Xi's determined and fierce courage.

He subconsciously looked towards the coaching staff.

However, Lao Wente turned his head away.

He appreciated this courage in Fan Xi, although he knew that Fan Xi's individual strength might not be as strong as Steve Blake's.

But tonight, he stood firmly with Fan Xi.

"Jack, you appear here later, and if there is a chance, shoot decisively? Paul and Andrew will screen for you??" Lao Wente explained the tactical route to Fan Xi.

This made Blake very dissatisfied. He said sourly on the side: You will regret it. After Fan goes on the court, he will definitely be targeted by the defense, and with his real strength, there is no way he can continue to throw in three-pointers. When Coach Phil Jackson returns, you will all be held accountable?.

He said it very vigorously, but it was just some foul-smelling noise.

No one took him seriously.

Beep!

The whistle sounded quickly, and the final showdown arrived!

The fans at the scene were already shouting "Defense! Defense! Defense!", cheering for the home team.
