Chapter 98

Raymond Felton definitely didn't want to pass the ball so timely and quickly in his heart.

He was afraid.

He was afraid of being blown up by Kobe, so he simply passed the basketball quickly.

Who knew that such a pass would actually activate the team's offense.

Wilt Chandler, JR Smith, Gallinari, and Kenyon Martin all took off because of his quick distribution... It could be said to be a mistake.

Raymond saw his teammates come over to high-five him one after another and give him a thumbs up.

At first, he was a little confused.

But soon he puffed out his chest as a matter of course.

Especially when he assisted Kenyon Martin to complete a dunk, Kenyon Martin shouted at him: "Raymond, you are simply the second Kidd!"

The craziest time in Kenyon Martin's career was following Jason Kidd's footsteps to the finals twice.

Now, he compared Raymond Felton to Jason Kidd.

This was his highest praise.

Felton puffed out his chest slightly, and he said in a light tone: "I am just the first Raymond Felton."

At this moment, he was like an ancient god reincarnated, the aura of the King of Pretending galloping across the field.

For a time, the Lakers were really helpless against him.

Phil Jackson had long opened his eyes; he even stood up to make two on-the-spot adjustments.

The effect was not very good.

The Lakers' flanks failed to unfold, and when returning to the previous triangle offense, they could not respond to the Denver Nuggets' crazy running.

Phil Jackson realized a very important fact: Los Angeles could no longer do without Jack Fan.

Fan Xi occupied a very important position in the Lakers' current tactical system.

His teammates had also fully adapted to his existence; Derek Fisher could not replace his role at all. The current chaos of the Lakers is like a man who is used to eating delicacies suddenly eating food made by his wife who has never cooked.

"Jack Fan, do you dare to fight me!"

With 1 minute and 24 seconds left in the first half, Raymond Felton fiercely changed direction to crush Derek Fisher's defense, quickly killed into the penalty area, used his strong body to bump Gasol away and scored two points, then rushed to the sidelines to clamor at Fan Xi.

This was not the first time he had clamored at Fan Xi.

Raymond Felton played like a fish in water in the second quarter. When Kobe defended him, he quickly passed the ball out, and his teammates had a hot hand, creating many assists for him.

And when the Lakers used Derek Fisher to defend him, he bullied "Old Fish" for being old and weak, relying on his strength to constantly crush him.

It can be counted as "getting along with both sides," and the posture is truly "the villain's success."

Fan Xi stood up with a swoosh.

The young man's anger rose; he could not tolerate Raymond Felton's repeated provocations. He looked at Phil Jackson, his eyes full of extreme desire.

Phil Jackson looked at Fan Xi.

Then, he got up to apply for a timeout.

The Denver Nuggets led by 8 points at 59:51.

Raymond Felton scored 8 points and 8 assists in the second quarter, causing waves in the home court many times, and was the best player in the second quarter.

Kobe walked off the court very angrily; he had a nameless fire to release.

Being suppressed by this group of Denver Nuggets kids made him extremely unhappy.

Especially Raymond Felton... what kind of stuff is he, but he stirred up the wind and rain. Kobe couldn't spray Fisher; Fisher was a veteran who entered the league at the same time as him, and everyone knew his defense was terrible.

Therefore, Kobe was basically a patcher on the court in the second quarter. JR Smith went crazy, so he went to defend JR Smith; Raymond Felton played one-on-one, so he ran to block Raymond Felton.

Blocking both ends, both ends made him feel blocked.

Kobe Bryant was very unhappy.

Mike Dunleavy was also very unhappy.

Wilt Chandler had been harassing him and suppressing him. Chandler vented all the anger he received from old Dunleavy on young Dunleavy. Young Dunleavy was just a shooter, how could he compare to the strong and fierce him? Wilt Chandler used all his strength to collide with young Dunleavy.

Dunleavy was beaten into a mess, not only failing to play the flank projection expected by Phil Jackson, but also being abused miserably by Chandler on the defensive end.

When he went off the court, Chandler also ridiculed young Dunleavy: "You are softer than your father's wrinkled..."

This sentence made young Dunleavy very humiliated.

However, no one cared.

Kobe returned to the bench, and he said to Phil Jackson: "It can't go on like this, we can't let those hairy kids run wild."

Phil Jackson certainly knew this truth.

But now Andrew Bynum is not here. Without Bynum, a traditional center, it is difficult to defeat the run-and-gun in positional offense. What's more, Kenyon Martin is still a center with strong athletic ability.

Just then, Fan Xi stood up and said to Phil Jackson: "Boss, let me play, I can't sit on the bench and pretend nothing happened. In fact, that stupid guy even sprayed foul saliva on my face, I can't do it, I must fuck him."

Fan Xi directly proposed to Phil Jackson to play; he couldn't hold it anymore, he didn't want to "beat around the bush" anymore.

Old Winter on the side persuaded this promising child, he said: "Jack, young people should not be too angry, you should be calm..."

"No, Mr. Winter." Fan Xi retorted gently and powerfully: "If young people are not angry, are they still young people? My parents told me since I was a child that a man, if he doesn't dare to draw his sword directly when facing challenges before the age of thirty, must be a guy without prospects. I am only 19 years old this year."

Saying this, Fan Xi looked at Phil Jackson with burning eyes: "Coach. I still don't know the source of the Chinese proverb you told me before the game, but there is another proverb in China, it is called: The sword's edge comes from sharpening, and the fragrance of plum blossoms comes from the bitter cold. I know your arrangement is to protect me, but what I need more is sharpening."

Fan Xi said firmly.

His words moved the surrounding teammates.

Jack had always been a very tough boy in their hearts, and today's speech made everyone increase their impression.

Phil Jackson was silent for about 10 seconds, then he smiled and spread his palms: "Okay, Jack. I am convinced by you, what your parents taught you is correct. Next, go on the court and face your sharpening, I hope you kick Raymond Felton's ass, because that guy's foul saliva also sprayed on my face."

The Zen Master said easily.

His words eased the murderous atmosphere on the bench.

The players all thought that there would definitely be changes next, because Jack Fan was going to play.

Beep!

When the whistle blew, Fan Xi remembered Phil Jackson's tactical arrangement and walked to the court.

Before heading to the court, Phil Jackson suddenly grabbed Fan Xi and asked: "Jack, I am very curious about your parents' words, you seem to have only said half. You only said men before 30, you seem to have not said things after 30."

Fan Xi smiled.

He said: "Wait until I win, then I'll tell you."
