Four Hundred and Fifty-One: Fight

When Olowokandi heard this, he was immediately ecstatic, and his eyes when he looked at Fanxi were filled with gratitude.

Garnett became even more angry.

His patience with Olowokandi has a limit, but it is really difficult to find a full-size center in today's league. He just snorted angrily and walked back.

The Timberwolves launched their final fierce offensive.

Marbury, Garnett, Sprewell plus white shooter Szebiak, frankly speaking, this lineup is really strong.

From every level, the Knicks should be beaten.

But the wind gradually blew...Fan Xi was blown far away.

Fan Xi first forced his way to the basket and created 2+1, then assisted Milicic to complete the mid-range, and then helped Yingodala sneak through the baseline.

Finally, 112:106.

There was no suspense about the Knicks winning.

This confused the ambitious Timberwolves. They really came with the certainty of victory.

When the final whistle sounded, Sanders looked at the score above his head and was stunned for several seconds.

Then he walked over and shook hands with Don Cheney.

He asked Don Cheney what kind of show it was.

Don Cheney said I don't know.

He really doesn't know. He hasn't finished the tactical manual for the new season yet.

Regarding this matter, Fan Xi won't put too much pressure on him, just watch it while fighting.

Kenny Smith was very surprised and said on TV: "This is an unexpected result. The Knicks should not win, but they did win."

Before the game started, Kenny Smith said that some of the Knicks' undefeated preseason wins were just taking advantage of their young firepower, and that other teams had not yet adapted from their vacation.

But in this game, there is no such reason.

"Perhaps, people should get inspiration from this year's Olympic Games." Charles Barkley said: "Jack can lead the Chinese team to win the gold medal, why can't he lead this group of talented children to win the championship? What's more, this game The biggest change in the game is that two recognized parallels are unleashing their original talents.”

Milicic finished the game with 13 points, 7 rebounds, 3 assists, 2 blocks and 1 steal.

Kwame Brown had 12 points, 11 rebounds, 1 block and 1 assist.

Both played only 25 minutes.

The efficiency is quite high.

Moreover, the characteristics they display are fascinating. Milicic showed his flexibility and Kwame Brown showed his toughness.

They all have bright futures.

Fanci praised them both after the game, claiming that they are the Knicks' strongest inside barrier. He also said: "Kwame Brown and Milicic will definitely become the strongest inside combination in the league."

This offended Pistons fans, who thought the two-Wallace combo was the best.

In fact, at the same time as the Knicks upset the Timberwolves at home. The Pistons defeated the Los Angeles Lakers at Staples Arena, with a 128:89 super massacre.

The score difference of nearly 40 points made it an NBA record since the opening game.

It's a shame for the Lakers.

Kobe Bryant failed to support the size of the dynasty after O'Neal left.

The teenage shooting guard is going through the most difficult phoenix nirvana in his life.

Now the world is slamming him for forcing Shaquille O'Neal away.

And this stubborn guy never explained to others.

Shaquille O'Neal is also willing to shoulder the identity of a 'victim' as he plots an 'Avengers' drama in Miami.

Fanci spoke with Kobe Bryant on the phone after the game.

Kobe needs help now, he is in the most critical period of his career.

Fanshi's advice to him is that you can release yourself in the game and you will become a better version of yourself.

Kobe Bryant doesn't know if he really listened.

As the Pistons crushed the Lakers, a new league structure was announced.

The Detroit Pistons instantly became the favorite to win the championship this season.

After Grant Hill returned to where he started his career, he fit perfectly into the Pistons' existing system.

Although he is no longer as intimidating and violent as he was when he was young, his penetration is no longer so unrivaled.

However, he solved the Pistons' biggest problem. The Pistons finally have a player at the third position who can connect the whole court and complete the finish, while also perfectly integrating with the defensive system.

Grant Hill's half-season with the Knicks allowed him to find a new path. He is no longer the team's thigh, but he is an artifact on the wing.

Larry Brown was overjoyed.

The Pistons reached the Eastern Conference Finals last year, but with Grant Hill added this year, are they still not allowed to take off?

Ranked second in the expected championship rankings is the Miami Heat. The lineup composed of Shaquille O'Neal and Dwyane Wade, as well as a group of veterans, makes people shine. Everyone feels that the Heat are very competitive this season.

The Timberwolves remain in third place, followed by the San Antonio Spurs.

Then came the Dallas Mavericks, New York Knicks, and Houston Rockets.

Such a ranking is not very friendly to the Knicks, but it is quite respectful to Fanci.

It would be impossible for any other superstar to have a team full of rookies ranked seventh in the expected championship rankings.

Vansh did it.

The Knicks' second game opponent was the Orlando Magic from Florida, and it was still held at Madison Square Garden.

The Magic ushered in a real new life after sending McGrady away, although they still respected Francis who was traded from the Rockets.

But everyone knew that this year's No. 1 pick Dwight Howard was their future hope.

During the draft, Dwight Howard had "touched" Van Xi, saying that he was going to baptize a prostitute.

So, at the beginning of this game, Van Xi rushed in and gave him a dunk.

Although the young Howard had amazing jumping ability, he was powerless in front of Van Xi.

Van Xi dunked him once.

Then the second one.

Then the third one.

At that time, the kid was stunned.

This was Howard's second game in his career. In the first game, he played against the Dallas Mavericks at home. He felt that the NBA was not as difficult as he imagined, because he had 11 points and 15 rebounds in a single game, setting a new record.

However, who would have thought that in the second game, before the half was over, Fan Xi dunked three times.

Fan Xi also teased him after the game: "Dwight is a player I am very optimistic about. This kid will definitely become the league's top center in the future. If those famous superstars want to prove their dunking ability, they can dunk on him. He is the only threshold to test the outside superstars."

Fan Xi's words opened up a great era of baptism.

When the Orlando Magic went to Los Angeles, Kobe Bryant rushed up and gave him a dunk.

Fan Xi took the lead, Kobe responded... other NBA dunkers couldn't sit still.

Dwight Howard, the talented super rookie, instantly became the dragon in the jungle, and everyone wanted to dunk.

For Howard, this is really... more benefits than disadvantages.

Although Fan Xi and Kobe dunked him, it didn't do much damage to his reputation. He was just a rookie, and Fan Xi also raised his fame.

Many NBA players have played for their whole lives and have never reached any ‘threshold’, but Howard was stamped and certified as the league’s top star in his second game.

Although he has to face these disturbing challenges every night of the game, while others are using him to gain reputation, he is also gaining experience.

This is complementary.

Dwight Howard’s understanding of defense is improving rapidly.

…

Let’s talk about two things separately.

After winning two consecutive home games, the Knicks suffered two consecutive away losses.

They flew to the far west, and the first game was in Phoenix, playing against the Phoenix Suns.

The Phoenix Suns introduced a coach who returned from Europe this summer, Mike D’Antoni.

In addition, the Suns also got Stephen Nash from Dallas early, and through a series of operations, they established a group of players with not very loud reputations but strong strength, including Nash, Stoudemire, Shawn Marion, Joe Johnson, etc.

In this game, the Knicks were completely beaten.

The young people of the Knicks originally wanted to drag their opponents into the quagmire through a chaotic battle and use their rich experience to kill them.

However, what they welcomed was a cavalry company with full tacit understanding.

Under the leadership of Nash, the Suns played a set of offensive methods that came from the sky.

The system of Van Xi and his players could not hold up.

Van Xi's individual quality is still there, and he can also connect the offensive.

However, the Suns are too all-round, and they can complete the offense almost every seven seconds.

Quentin is the outside shooter, and Stoudemire is the inside dunk.

125:101.

The Knicks suffered a big defeat.

After this game, the reputation of the Phoenix Suns was suddenly known, and Stephen Nash and D'Antoni instantly jumped to the first-line position in the league.

There is no other reason. Those who kill Van Xi should get such a reward.

This shows how deep the NBA league's "fear" of Van Xi is.

Van Xi studied the game carefully. He was not unfamiliar with the Suns' tactics. He even led a similar style in the team ten years ago.

Now, he was a little hesitant, including Don Cheney asking him whether he wanted to take the team in this direction.

Because the Knicks also have the foundation of running and gunning.

Van Xi did not make a decision.

Then, they went to Seattle as planned.

In Seattle, they encountered the Supersonics.

The Supersonics were at another extreme.

They relied heavily on shooting. Under the leadership of Ray Allen and Rashard Lewis, they had a high rate of shooting from beyond the three-point line.

The Knicks lost the game again.

Because they failed to drag the game into the quagmire, Ray Allen and Lewis made elegant shots from beyond the three-point line without getting hurt.

A team dominated by rookies is like this, easy to make mistakes, and difficult to turn back.

Van Xi allowed his players to make mistakes, and he didn't even criticize anyone.

He had no requirements for the record.

However, there are many people who have nothing to do in basketball commentary. They stare at Fan Xi and the Knicks like flies.

When the Knicks perform well, they turn a deaf ear to them. When the Knicks perform poorly, they quickly jump out.

They use the method of playing with words to mock Fan Xi and belittle the young players of the Knicks.

Fan Xi has experienced too many such things, and he has long been calm.

However, the kids under him are very angry and want to prove themselves.

So, in Sartorius, the Knicks and the Kings broke out in a fierce physical conflict.

The Sartorius Kings had a bad relationship with Fan Xi since a long time ago, in the distant 20th century.

At that time, Fan Xi was still in the Clippers, and the two teams had to play back and forth four or five games every season. When Chris Webber arrived at the Kings, the relationship became worse. Last season, Fan Xi made Chris Webber lose face.

Webber has been holding back a grudge in his heart.

Although the Kings' Princeton tactics are now in name only, the team's tactical core position has even turned to Peja, the three-point shooter on the outside.

However, Chris Webber still insisted on teaching Fan Xi a lesson, taking advantage of the Knicks' recent poor state.

But they were unlucky.

Although Princeton is also known for its smooth offense and the pursuit of open shots outside the three-point line,

But they were not at their best on both ends, and the Knicks' youngsters were furious, so they failed to take the initiative from the beginning.

The Kings became more and more anxious and aggressive in the quagmire.

Until Brad Miller was blocked by Milicic, Miller threw the basketball directly at Milicic's head when the game was called off, and the conflict suddenly broke out.

Milicic's face was covered with blood.

Then, Kwame Brown rushed over and pushed Miller, and then Chris Webber and Jackson joined the battle.

They besieged Kwame Brown.

At this time, Fan Xi stepped forward, he stood in front of everyone and protected Kwame Brown who was holding his head and being beaten.

At this time, he was hit by Webber's fist on his left face.

This made Fan Xi furious.

Fan Xi had been calling on everyone to calm down.

But Webber's punch broke the deadlock.

Fan Xi didn't tolerate him any more. When he threw the second punch, he grabbed Weber's hand with one hand and threw it forward... Weber rushed forward with his own strength... and was thrown four or five meters away, and landed on his face.

Then Bobby Jackson attacked Fan Xi again, and was thrown to the ground by Fan Xi.

Brad Miller, the most irritable center of the Kings, saw that his two teammates were knocked down, and he quickly became timid. He turned around and ran to the bench.

Fan Xi would never let the instigator go, and he rushed over there directly.

At this time, the famous scene happened.

Rick Adelman actually flew over and hugged Fan Xi's waist, trying to stop Fan Xi.

However, Fan Xi was like a rugby player, rushing forward even with Adelman hanging on him. Adelman soon slipped, and Brad Miller, who was panicking at this time, also knocked over the beverage barrel on the sidelines and fell to the ground. It was a mess, and the scene was extremely chaotic for a while.

David Stern, who was sitting in front of the TV, was stunned.

This was something he had never dreamed of.

He felt numb from his scalp to the soles of his feet.
