"That little guy has become stronger again."

Wilter Chamberlain clearly expressed his views on TV.

At the same time, Jordan on the sidelines was also saying this to David Falke, but his wording was that little bastard.

The two generations of basketball gods have surprisingly consistent judgments.

The difference is that the audience in front of the TV feels joyful, while Michael Jordan's 'listener' David Falke feels sad.

In fact, the saddest thing is that he once had it. David Falke once had Fan Xi, who was Fan Xi's first agent, but at that time he ignored Fan Xi and was not optimistic about Fan Xi's future. But now, Fan Xi is with his most despised assistant Sam Powell, and Sam Powell, the guy who is obviously flawed in IQ, has repeatedly made big moves.

What makes Falk sad is that he even loses Georgetown’s trust because of this, and the superstars produced in Georgetown signed contracts with him. This year, when he tentatively asked Iverson whether he would participate in the 1995 draft, the answer he got was: I won’t sign contract with you.

Iverson is very straightforward.

Iverson intends to reach a contract with Fan Xi's agent Sam Poway, and he thinks Sam Poway is a very capable person.

However, Fan Xi suggested that he seek another agent with strong influence.

After all, Van Xi still has some understanding of Sam Poway's true strength. He is a person who is airsick when flying. Don't expect him to take the train to negotiate business for Iverson across the United States.

Moreover, Fan Xi could tolerate his trick of "extreme pressure".

Fan Xi has a plug-in.

…

Orlando gradually returned to normal, O'Neal was in the paint area, and Hardaway's attack firepower was also released.

However, Nick Anderson and Brian Shaw's absence still affected their overall offense.

On the other hand, Van Xi and Derek Harper's two-point guard plays extremely smoothly in New York.

Pat Riley didn't expect the chemistry to be so wonderful. New York's operation was like a tight-fitting machine. Starks' absence not only had an impact on the defensive end, but actually produced better results on the offensive end.

Starks himself muttered that it would be embarrassing to lead, and whoever is not present is embarrassing.

The first quarter is over soon.

The Knicks led by 4 points with 32:28.

After the start of the second quarter, the Knicks replaced Hubert and Fan Xi stayed off the court to rest.

This was a very risky move for the Knicks, but they had to do it because Fan Xi's physical fitness was precious and he had to overdraw in the second half after using up the first half.

Fortunately, the Knicks have very good luck tonight.

Hubert immediately contributed beyond the three-point line after he came on the court. As a three-point pitcher, he showed signs of being super god tonight.

Swish!

Swish!

Swish!

In the second quarter, he scored 3 three-pointers.

These three three-pointers also allowed the Knicks to withstand Orlando's attack in the second quarter. During the break, they only fell behind by 1 point 56:57 and entered the locker room.

It is worth mentioning that Fan Xi did not play in the second quarter at all.

In a tight situation, Pat Riley withstood the pressure. Derek Harper and Hubert made great contributions.

But when he returned to the locker room and played the first half, Derek Harper, who was entangled with Hardaway, was out of breath. He must have no way to play in the third quarter.

In Pat Riley's tactical arrangement, Van Xi and Hubert will play together in the third quarter.

"…The third quarter is particularly important to us. In the past three games, the Orlando people have launched a general attack in the third quarter."

"John is not here, we need you to exert your due offensive firepower and destructive capabilities from the outside, so that you can share the pressure on your teammates in the paint."

Pat Riley gave high hopes for Van Xi and Hubert in the locker room.

Next is the most difficult battle.

If you don't hold on to the third quarter, your efforts in the first half will be wasted.

...

The visiting team's locker room was also in active discussions.

Brian Hill reached an agreement with the coaching staff that they should defeat them in one fell swoop in the third quarter while the Knicks currently have no outside core.

"Derek Harper has no spare energy, Hubert only has three points, Jack Jr.'s offensive level is not enough. We can deal with Patrick Ewing with confidence..."

Anfini Hardaway talked in the middle of the locker room.

Currently, Orlando Magic is behind with a total score of 1:2, but everyone's face is filled with confidence and aura of leading 3:1.

Almost all Magic players believe that tonight's game and Game 5 will easily fall into their pockets.

"But... this guy, little Jack, has to be on guard."

O'Neal raised his idea: "Our outside line is actually very short."

However, Hill felt that the big shark was a bit unfair.

If Jack Jr. has the ability to attack independently, why did Pat Riley treat Starks as the core of the outside line before?

…

Beep!

The second half of the game began soon.

Fan Xi came to the field early before the game started, and he did some shooting training. When he was in a static state, his shooting stability improved a lot, but jump shots and other things were still far from enough.

His shooting ability is still only C-level.

Iverson, who was watching the game on the sidelines, said to Fan Xi before the start of the game: "Jack, you often break through the left side in the second half. O'Neal just looks strong and his assistive ability is very ordinary."

At the same time, Rodman, wearing a long skirt and a wig, came over to come up with an idea.

Although Rodman is maverick and has an exaggerated style, no one can deny his basketball IQ. He has been highly praised by Chuck Daly. In Phil Jackson's eyes, his tactical understanding ability is even better than Jordan.

"If you fight Grant's defense alone, remember to pause a little. He is a good defender, but he likes to jump first." Rodman told him: "When he increases the number of fouls, he will be worried about gains and losses. The closer he is to the basket, the more obstructed his sight and there is something wrong with his eyes."

Fan Xi remembered all these words deeply in his mind.

Whether it is Iverson's judgment or Rodman's experience, these will bring great help to Fan Xi.

Fan Xi has always been a person with very strong learning ability and comprehension.

In the first round of the second half, Fan Xi made amazing moves.

When he came to the top of the arc with the ball, the Orlando Magic still used Anthony Powell to defend him.

At this time, Anthony Powell was even a little timid. He was teased by Fan Xi many times in the first quarter, and he formed a bad psychological shadow.

Fortunately... this time Fan Xi is faster.

Under his defense, use a quick and sensitive spin to pass his defense and join in straight lines into the paint area.

In the past, he would make a pass or attack choice when he was still a distance away from the basket.

But this time, facing Grant's quick return to defense, he remembered Rodman's experience, quickly went deep into the paint area, and took the lead in making an emergency stop to make a jump.

Sure enough, Grant under the basket jumped up like a frightened bird.

When he realized something was wrong in the air, he quickly stopped. Fan Xi jumped out...swish!

A beautiful layup in the penalty area played the time difference just right.

This goal put Madison Garden in state, and the fans at the scene woke up from the half-time break and cheered for the home team loudly.

Afterwards, Hardaway broke into the penalty area and ended the battle with a throw.

Hubert's defense was like scratching his feet.

This is the Knicks' current dilemma.

Looking back, the Orlando Magic still strengthened the blockade of the inside. They blocked the passing paths of the outside line from the inside, forcing the Knicks to solve the problem from the outside line.

This made Pat Riley frown.

Especially when Hubert was closely guarded by Harda, the Knicks had only one road left, allowing Fan Xi to play singles.

Fan Xi was very decisive.

He once again crossed Anthony Poway's defense...Poway seemed to be a opponent tailored by God for him. He could never defend him and was worried about being fooled by him.

Fan Xi cut into the penalty area from the left this time. O'Neal glanced at Fan Xi, hesitating between defending Ewing or making up for defense.

After hesitating for a moment, Fan Xi's extremely sensitive body slipped away from him sleekly, and put the basketball into the basket with his backhand.

Scored two goals in a row.

Fan Xi withstood the pressure.

If it were other head coaches, they would definitely make adjustments.

But the Magic head coach is Brian Hill, a man who often breaks the bombs apart.

He hasn't changed anything.
