Rekindling the dream of becoming a star

Chapter 246 Tonight is great

The measure of whether a guard is good or not seems to be his average assists per game. Generally speaking, a point guard with an average of 15+ points and 6+ assists per game is already a starting-level point guard in the league.

But in fact, the measure of a real point guard has always been to look at the assist-to-turnover ratio.

Historically, Stockton's career assist-to-turnover ratio is 3.72, and his best season is 4.87. This is why he is rated as the best point guard in NBA history.

How many assists a defender has before a turnover occurs is very important, because it means that your team's point loss rate, success rate, and number of fouls per 100 possessions are closely related.

而在2017年的时候，克里斯保罗的职业生涯助攻失误比是4.0，他的最佳单赛季比率在2007-08赛季达到4.57。

Pierce once commented on Paul: He can make it into the 75th place because he has an ability that others cannot match, which is that he can turn any team into a strong team and lead it into the playoffs.

He's a bottom-of-the-playoffs type of player.

Paul used his precise control of the court and extremely low turnover rate to lead the team to a steady victory in nearly a hundred rounds of offense and defense.

But this can only be the regular season. Any talent that comes to the playoffs will require more order.

Sorry, point guard is not the top priority in the playoffs.

The NBA playoffs have always been the world of centers, power forwards, and small forwards.

Because the rules are changing, many people have not noticed this detail. You can do a lot of things in the regular season, but in the playoffs, the standards of refereeing, changes in intensity, and changes in rules are all tilted from the outside to the inside.

If we put all NBA positions on a seesaw, with the preseason, regular season, playoffs, and finals as the four stages of time points.

We will find that as the time point changes, the position changes from a horizontal plane at the beginning to gradually tilted towards the center, but at the same time you will find a very interesting phenomenon.

That is, as the C small forward among the five positions, there has never been any change.

From this simple little game you will find that small forward is the eternal core of the NBA.

The face of the NBA can only be born among small forwards. The super small forward can play inside and outside, can score, assist, block shots, steal rebounds, and he can do all the work.

No matter how the NBA era changes, the historical status of the small forward will not change.

This is the unanimous thinking of all NBA executives. When evaluating Chen Fang's value, the Clippers management was worried. Considering various factors, it was difficult to make the decision to trade Paul for a second pick to get Chen Fang.

But West dispelled the management's concerns with just one sentence.

He said: "Does an offensive small forward with organizational skills need to hesitate?"

So, Chen Fang came to the Clippers, and his performance in the summer league and preseason has never been lower than expectations.

Points, assists, rebounds, his data, at least for now, has exceeded expectations.

What is even more surprising is that Chen Fang's assist-to-turnover ratio has remained around 3.3.

Although it is lower than Paul, compared with other NBA point guards, it is still far ahead.

Westbrook is 2.06, Harden is 1.95, and Nash is 2.97.

There is no need to refer to Nash. Just looking at the modern-level point guards, Chen Fang's assist-to-turnover ratio is incredibly leading.

Although there are not many game templates to refer to, it is at least an exciting sign for the Clippers management.

This is why Lawrence was appointed by the management to be in charge of Chen Fang and to coordinate daily life. It is rare for the NBA to have such treatment as having the general manager be responsible for you one-on-one.

Of course, this is also because of Lawrence's experience. After all, he was once fully responsible for Yi and the effect was good.

While Chen was warming up, he finally saw Paul, who turned around as if with telepathy. The two looked at each other and then looked away.

It's not a feeling, but his intuition reminded him that Paul took today's game seriously.

Because the look is murderous.

But Chen Fang also has hundreds of thousands of rewards waiting for him, so how could he be timid?

In the audience, most of the people were yellow, with only a few fans wearing white and blue Clippers jerseys. It can only be said that the Clippers still have a long way to go to increase their influence in Los Angeles.

What Chen Fang didn’t know was that many Lakers fans were also looking at him with scrutiny.

Chen Fang's data represents potential. The Lakers are naturally happy about Paul's arrival, but at the same time they can't help but feel a certain anxiety because of the performance of the Chinese.

The topic of the big falcon is also a hot topic of discussion in the Lakers fan community. Some fans believe that the data previously shown by the Chinese cannot represent anything, and it will become clearer after the regular season.

But some fans also think that the Lakers' exchange of Chen Fang for Paul was not a very worthwhile deal. They euphemistically expressed that Paul came five years late, and what the Lakers need at the moment is hope, not a guarantee.

Of course, there are also radical fans who believe that what the Lakers need is a local superstar, not overseas players, and it is even more impossible for them to treat Yao as a treasure like Houston did.

In fact, no Chinese player has yet proven that he or she can play well on the outside.

In the commentary booth, Duan Ran and Ke Fan were chatting. At the moment, everyone's emotions were relatively calm, because Chen Fang's ups and downs were small, but as the group of people with the strongest sense of substitution, their hearts were in their throats whenever Chen Fang played.

Zhou Qi was injured in the preseason, casting a shadow on the regular season. No one could have expected such a sudden situation.

In the first game, Zhou Qi played very well and his statistics were very good. Everyone was very excited. The two Chinese players performed well in the NBA, which really made people feel a sense of joy that the clouds have been cleared and the sun has appeared.

With Chen Fang taking a break from yesterday's game against the Clippers, everyone suddenly became uneasy.

Fortunately, I saw Chen's name on the list of players for today, and I felt relieved.

"I think as long as I don't get hurt, that's the best outcome," Ke Fan said.

"The first season has the highest chance of getting injured. I don't know why Chen Fang is taking a break. Maybe he wants to save his strength for today's game against the Lakers."

Duan Ran didn't react much after listening to Ke Fan's analysis. His attention was focused on Chen Fang who was warming up on the court.

He suddenly said to Ke Fan: "Don't you think Chen Fang is a little strange today?"

"What's so strange about that?" Ke Fan asked puzzled.

"He was very serious, but sometimes he would smile strangely. I felt like I had seen this before."

"It seems that Chen Fang has an idea today."

"Isn't this a good thing?" Ke Fan was excited. There is a saying among sports reporters now: they are not afraid of Chen Fang's anger, but they are afraid of Chen Fang's madness.

When Chen Fang goes crazy, he looks as scary as a ghost.

"I hope so!" Duan Ran was a little worried. In his opinion, deep down, Chen Fang was introverted and had a crazy demonic nature.

The calmer and wiser a person is, once he starts to get angry, no one can stop him.

Chen Fang naturally had no idea what Duan Ran saw. The bonus, position, and ambition were intertwined together, making him feel a desire to release.

Back in the locker room, Rivers announced the starting lineup, and to Chen Fang's disappointment, he was not on the list.

Teodosic is the starter.

Maybe he performed well in the last game and needed encouragement.

Chen Fang did not show it, but joined his teammates in clapping to cheer. After returning to the court and sitting on the bench, Rivers called Chen Fang over.

"You take the second pause."

"Ah."

"But Tessi won't play. You're going to play small forward."

This made Chen Fang stunned for a moment. He asked to confirm, "I played as a small forward?"

"Yeah, I want to see what kind of chemistry you and Tessie have together."

Chen Fang understood. He returned to his seat and began to think.

Suddenly he felt that Rivers' idea was a good one, letting him play point forward and giving him more freedom.

This way he would feel less pressure. He glanced at Yingge who was already on the court and ready to dance, and laughed.

I have to face off against this guy again.

Lakers starting lineup: Chris Paul, Jordan Clarkson, Brandon Ingram, Julius Randle, Brook Lopez.

Clippers starting lineup: Teodosic, Griffin, Jordan Jr., Gallinari, and Reeves Jr.

Comparing this lineup, the Clippers still rely on the inside to gain advantage, while the Lakers are relatively balanced inside and outside, but they now have Paul to guarantee the bottom line.

The ten people on the court hugged and greeted each other, especially Paul, who had a few words with several people from the Clippers. However, Chen Fang was sitting on the sidelines and did not hear clearly. He just saw the expressions of Griffin and Jordan, which were a little ugly.

It is not difficult to guess what Paul said. Paul is a very self-centered person. He has worked for several teams, and no matter where he is, his relationship with the management is neither hot nor cold.

Perhaps the pride in one's heart cannot be traded.

In fact, isn’t this a taboo in every player’s heart? Chen Fang quietly waited for the game to begin.

At this moment, Staples Center was completely full, with nearly 20,000 spectators coming to watch Paul's revenge battle.

That's absolutely true. From official media to social media, everyone regarded this game as Paul's battle to prove himself, and Chen Fang was just an extra. The protagonist was still Clippers owner Ballmer.

Ballmer was sitting in the first row next to the Clippers' bench. Next to him were Wenger and Lawrence. He looked relaxed, smiling, and occasionally chatted with his two subordinates.

When the whistle sounded, the basketball was thrown up, and a cheer rang out in the Staples Center, the battle between the Lakers and the Clippers began.

Lopez made a successful jump ball and the ball came into Paul's hands. When Paul dribbled across half court, many Clippers fans who were watching the game felt dazed.

The golden Lakers No. 3 looks so strange.

In the first round, Paul created a great scoring opportunity for the Lakers.

A true point guard is always untraceable. Unlike other guards, attracting attention, mobilizing the defense, and quickly passing the ball to teammates in better positions are the basic operations of a point guard, and Paul also incorporates the skills of wing breakthroughs and hand-offs in the elbow area.

His position is not fixed on the outside. It can be said that the entire half court is under his influence.

After giving the ball to Clarkson, Paul first had a physical collision with Doncic. This kind of detail handling made Doncic unable to keep up with his pace. Then he entered the elbow area, received the return pass from Clarkson, and faced Gallinari. He first made a shooting action, suddenly let go of the ball, dribbled continuously and reset his footwork, forming a small-sided attack against a big-sided one.

Doncic wanted to make up for it, but he was concerned about Paul's passing vision and did not dare to let Clarkson go.

The next second, Paul changed direction and walked to the side of the penalty area, heading for the short corner. Griffin came out to double-team him, and Rivers, who was diagonally behind him, also double-teamed him.

Paul immediately passed the ball to Ingram who was standing on the wing behind him as if he had eyes behind his head.

Ingram made an open three-pointer and scored the Lakers' first point.

This was a typical Paul-style assist, putting the overall situation in his hands. It was also the first time that Chen Fang witnessed it live, and he licked his lips.

It is impossible to learn because the playing style is different. When Chen Fang took over, he shot from the elbow area.

Even if he didn't shoot, he wouldn't stick to the ball in such a small area, waiting for the opponent to double-team and then pass the ball. He would quickly pass the ball back to the outside players, then run to the open space and wait for the opportunity to shoot a three-pointer.

This is not Chen Fang’s thinking, but now all dual-point guards are in this mode.

Don’t talk about the height reason, Mitchell is of similar height and plays the same way.

To put it bluntly, Paul is a pure classical guard. His ability to solve problems comes from his excellent dribbling rather than his outstanding pull-up technique.

Although his mid-range shots are very good and are his main means of scoring, these shots are difficult and it is difficult to ensure an efficient hit rate.

Therefore, once Paul starts scoring, the game is either over or about to be over, and only then will we see Paul frequently playing one-on-one.

To put it bluntly, Paul's scoring is always just auxiliary, and controlling the rhythm and promoting offense and defense are his main job.

When the Clippers attacked, the cooperation between Doncic and Gallinari was always better than that with Griffin and Jordan. Gallinari got a chance to shoot through an open cut, but he wanted to get closer to the basket, which gave Lopez a chance to fill in the defensive position. He used his footwork to spin in a circle, but his hook shot missed. The Lakers grabbed the rebound and initiated an offense-defense transition.

Paul's advantage came out, his advancement and distribution of the ball were just right, and he passed it to Clarkson who was running with him, and the latter finished with a dunk.

The 5:0 start caused cheers to fill the Staples Center.

The game continued, and the Clippers finally broke the zero mark with Griffin's jump shot.

After the first official timeout, the score was 9:4.

The Lakers led by 5 points, and the situation on the court showed that the Lakers had a clear advantage.

Ballmer's expression was slightly stiff, and he talked more frequently with Wenger and Lawrence.

In the stands, Lakers fans suddenly shouted in unison.

"Thank you, Steve."

As the saying goes, the shorter the words, the deeper their meaning.

Ballmer had a hard time keeping his smile on, so he just lay back on the chair with his hands behind his back.

Lawrence stood up and walked over to Rivers and whispered something. After he left, Rivers called Chen Fang over.

"It looks like you won't be able to wait until the second timeout. Go warm up and get ready to play."

Chen Fang took off his training suit, revealing the light blue and orange away jersey underneath. This was the first appearance of the Clippers' new away jersey, instead of the red away jersey in previous games.

I believe this move was also instructed by the boss.

Seeing Chen Fang start to move, Chinese reporters picked up their SLR cameras and pressed the shutter. Ke Fan in the commentary booth said: "The Clippers didn't start well. Rivers needs a better outside line."

"There is no doubt that Chen Fang's offensiveness is better than Odosic's." Duan Ran said.

Chen Fang was warming up, but the Lakers fans behind him didn't let him go. A Lakers fan sitting at the baseline, wearing Paul's No. 3, shouted to Chen Fang: "Hey, are you going to go up there and embarrass yourself?"

Chen Fang tilted his head and looked at the provocative fan. He did not respond, but continued with his leg stretches and hip raises.

But the fan didn't let him go and continued to shout: "Hey, why don't you dare face me, what are you afraid of?"

"Paul will break your ankles, young man, you have a lot to learn."

Bryce, who was sitting at the end of the bench, shouted at the fan: "Are you going to be escorted out by security? Shut up!"

Perhaps it was Bryce's fierce look that made the fan's voice disappear. Chen Fang gave Bryce a thumbs up. Bryce came over and whispered in his ear, "It's like this on the road. Don't be affected."

"Thanks, I think I'll get used to it pretty quickly."

Paul was fouled by Teodosic while dribbling, resulting in a dead ball, so the technical desk sounded the buzzer for a substitution.

Chen Fang high-fived Bryce, then quickly walked along the sideline toward the center circle. Along the way, his teammates stretched out their hands and shook hands with Chen Fang.

"Get the points back!" shouted Thornwell.

"Come on, they can't defend!" It was Nance Jr.

"Dunk one to quiet these bastards down!" It was the old-fashioned Wesley.

After receiving various blessings, Chen Fang high-fived Rivers who was substituted. He had a hard time defending against Ingram who was half a head taller than him today.

As soon as Chen Fang came on the court, he was greeted with boos. Chen Fang looked around curiously and asked Yingge who was sticking to him, "Do you know why they booed me?"

Yingge was stunned. He didn't expect Chen Fang to ask him this, but Chen Fang immediately continued, "Because of love, so hate!"

While Yingge was still pondering these profound words, Chen Fang suddenly accelerated to the top of the arc. He received the ball from Doncic and jumped up without hesitation.

The basketball rolled over, hit the back edge of the basket and bounced out.

"My thirty thousand!" Chen Fang shouted in his heart and turned around to retreat.

"Hey, focus!" Lakers head coach, young coach Luke Walton yelled at Ingram in dissatisfaction.

Chen Fang's quick retreat prevented the Lakers' transition from being successful, resulting in a positional battle.

But Paul once again turned the positional battle into a semi-conversion fast break. He suddenly accelerated, used Goat Gold to shake off Doncic, and cut into the penalty area while moving. Chen Fang wanted to assist in defense, but he hesitated because of Paul's look around. The opportunity was fleeting. Facing Jordan guarding the inside, Paul set the rhythm, made a high rebound, and scored two more points.

It’s really amazing. Chen Fang was still thinking about it, but he saw Paul retreating and took a look.

There is no emotion in it, but it is this kind of look that is most disturbing to people.

Chen Fang raised his eyebrows and chuckled.

He rushed to the baseline and asked Jordan, who was serving the ball, for the ball. After getting the ball, he immediately ran at full speed. The audience exclaimed. As Chen Fang sped up, the tempo of the court also immediately quickened.

Yingge switched his retreat route and approached quickly, but he immediately realized something was wrong because Chen Fang was too fast and he misjudged the situation. When he wanted to speed up, he was left behind. He received the ball from Chen Fang, then sprinted away from everyone and put the ball into the basket along the wing and the baseline in less than 4 seconds.

There were constant exclamations, and everyone was suddenly horrified.

Ke Fan shouted directly: "No one can beat him. Chen Fang is too fast. He is simply Bolt on the basketball court. He came from behind and surpassed everyone." "It's just like a turbocharger. It gets faster and faster. It's incredible!" In the domestic studio, old man Zhang Heli said with a laugh.

On the way back, Chen Fang deliberately ran past Paul without eye contact, as if this gust of wind was what he meant.

It was so fast that even Paul was surprised.

But on the basketball court, speed is not absolute.

Paul was not affected by Chen Fang and maintained control of the rhythm. Chen Fang also began to learn Harden's philosophy. He focused on defense and made it difficult for Ingram to defend. On offense, he ran frequently on the wing and elbows, but he was not in good form today and missed the first three shots.

Ballmer looked bitter and asked Wenger, "Is it because of what I said before the game?"

"Maybe. He doesn't look anxious, but his shots are always a little short."

"He's gaining muscle, so it's normal for his touch to decline," Lawrence explained.

Seven minutes into the first quarter, Chen Fang was substituted. Rivers' expression showed no joy or sorrow. From the results, pushing Chen Fang to the small forward was not as effective as before, but from a defensive point of view, it was surprisingly effective. He curbed the Lakers' second scoring point, Ingram.

This is a really difficult decision.

Rivers pulled Chen Fang over and said to him, "You defended very well. On offense, you need to be more reasonable."

"I know. I'm trying to find the feeling. Next time, I won't miss the shot like this." Chen Fang answered confidently.

Rivers nodded and said nothing more.

Seeing Chen Fang coming off the court, Duan Ran was making amends: "Chen Fang's main task today is to defend Ingram. A star of this level consumes physical energy, so the offense will be affected. In the first quarter, Ingram only scored 3 points, just the three-pointer at the beginning."

"Both of them interfered with each other. It looked like a pre-season game, but in fact it was already at the regular season intensity level, because this was a derby and no one wanted to lose."

A two point, a three point, this perfect rhetoric has always been the professional quality of a commentator. No matter what the situation on the court is, they have quick wit to resolve it.

At the beginning of the second quarter, Chen Fang came on the court again because the Lakers were already leading by 10 points. This was no joke. If they had a few more points, it would be difficult to catch up with Paul.

Chen Fang did not disappoint the head coach's trust. He finally received the ball in the elbow area, turned around and made a jump shot, scoring two points cleanly.

Although Yingge's block was already on his face, Chen Fang's shot was faster. After landing, Chen Fang said to Yingge, "Don't you want a response shot?"

Looking at Chen Fang's annoying face, Yingge felt her mentality changing.

People are like this. If you are not reminded, you will have no thoughts. If you are reminded, the less you want to think about it, the more you think about it.

Originally, Paul's pass to Ingram was just a transition, because he had already run to the next return point, but when Ingram saw Chen Fang blocking him, he jumped up and shot without hesitation.

Turning his head and seeing the ball go out of the frame, Chen Fang said regretfully: "It was just a little bit short. I'll wait for you next time!"

"Come on!" Chen Fang patted Yingge on the back.

Before Yingge could fight back, Paul asked, "Why did you shoot?"

"I think there's a chance." Yingge would never admit that she was tricked by Chen Fang.

After glaring at Yingge, Paul quickly retreated to his defensive position.

In the fifth minute of the second quarter, not only Rivers, but other assistant coaches also discovered the problem.

It's very abrupt, but very natural.

A few people suddenly found that Chen Fang had integrated into the team's rhythm.

When Chen Fang focused on defense and no longer held the ball in offense, but instead made some finishing moves, the rhythm of the entire Clippers was no longer obscure. With Doncic and Chen Fang taking turns holding the ball, the score was gradually narrowed.

"Who taught you?" everyone asked, and the answer was no one.

So there is only one truth, which the Chinese people figured out themselves.

Looking up at the score, Chen Fang's score has reached 6 points, 2 assists and 3 rebounds. This data is not outstanding, but it is based on the fact that the team is running more smoothly without the ball.

And Chen Fang also rediscovered the feeling of being in college.

Sure enough, Harden was right. Slowing down made his brain work faster.

When a thought comes up, just continue with it and don't generate a second thought. This will make you more efficient.

In the last minute of the second quarter, Chen Fang ran to the corner without the ball, received a pass from Griffin after being double-teamed, and hit his first three-pointer of the game, which brought his score to 11 points.

As his opponent, Ingram has only scored five points, which is much lower than his average last year, which also reflects Chen Fang's defensive effect on him.

"Try hard in the second half, brother!" Chen Fang shouted to Yingge.

Yingge pretended not to hear and ran away from him faster.

Looking at his back, Chen Fang was happy in his heart.

The halftime whistle sounded, Paul put his hands on his hips, looked at the score, and then went to look for someone.

Sure enough, the next second, Chen Fang appeared in front of him and walked past him.

Looking at the huge number 21, Paul felt a little headache.

It felt like a ghost was haunting him. The Chinese man didn't provoke him verbally or make eye contact, but he just kept hanging around him. This made Paul feel a little schizophrenic.

"Which nigger taught him such a sinister psychological tactic?" Paul cursed in his heart.

Back in the locker room, Rivers did not praise Chen Fang, but instead praised others, especially Tesidosic.

Only at last did Rivers walk to the cabinet where the pieces were kept and said to him, "Keep up this rhythm."

"Yes." Chen Fang replied.

During the intermission, Duan Ran and Ke Fan were also chatting. During this period of time, the signal was cut to the studio in the back, and they had nothing to do now.

"It feels weird!" Ke Fan said first.

"It's not surprising, but we are used to Chen Fang's previous playing style." Duan Ran said.

"Give up the ball-handling core, is that right?"

"At least in this game, you can see that the Clippers' rhythm is smooth. This is a typical example of integration. They won't be constipated because of staleness."

"But if this continues, won't Chen Fang just become a role player?"

"Role? No one can become a super core from the beginning. Griffin also played as a substitute for a long time. When Chen Fang was in high school, Tatum was the boss and he was always a follower."

"This is the choice of smart people. First adapt, then integrate, and finally wait for an opportunity to rise to the top."

"It would be great if it's really like this." Ke Fan believed in Duan Ran's judgment. After all, they were both veterans in the NBA.

Chen Fang did not appear at the beginning of the third quarter. His playing time was scheduled later. Rivers needed to give more people opportunities. Generally speaking, as long as the score allows, the second and third quarters are the main playing stages for rotation and substitutes.

A rebuilding team uses games to screen out suitable players, and then trades the unsuitable ones in February in the middle of the season in exchange for the next batch of experimental candidates.

After two or three years of repetition, the championship puzzle was finally finalized.

For some reason, Paul's playing time increased sharply today. Due to his status and voice, it was difficult for Walton to refuse him. So until the second half of the third quarter, Paul was still on the court and his stats reached a double-double.

19 points and 11 assists.

A true all-star level.

At the end of the third quarter, the Lakers led by four points, 81 to 77.

At the beginning of the fourth quarter, Chen Fang came on the court again and was booed. Although it was sparse, it still caused the ESPN commentator to laugh and say: "The Lakers still have strange feelings towards this second pick. Chen Fang's current data is 11 points, 4 assists and 5 rebounds. This data is certainly not comparable to Paul, but it is also the third highest scorer of the Clippers."

Chen Fang moved his shoulders and pulled his Achilles tendon. He blew air between his hands and then rubbed them quickly.

Seeing this, Ke Fan joked, "It looks like Chen Fang is going to have a big fight in the fourth quarter."

"He didn't even play in the third quarter. The Clippers are still in the rookie protection period for him."

But no one expected what Chen Fang would show next. Maybe he hadn't shown his fangs for a long time, and many people had forgotten who that scoring maniac was.

Chen Fang came out from the inside, ran to the top of the arc, and passed the ball to Jordan who was screened at the top of the arc. He made a quick stop and jumped, and in front of Jordan's surprised gaze, he shot boldly.

The moment he pushed the ball out, Chen Fang knew it worked. He landed and ran back. When he took the second step, the whole audience burst into exclamations. Then he turned around, faced the camera and smiled.

It was a bit like the start of the first quarter, only this time, Chen made the shot.

Everyone was still surprised when Clarkson tried a three-pointer in response, which went wide of the frame. Chen Fang grabbed the rebound that bounced far away. He did not speed up, but pushed the ball into the frontcourt at a reasonable running speed. He looked left and right and found that only Doncic followed him, so he did not hesitate, suddenly changed direction, and threw Ingram, who was retreating a few meters in front of him, to the other side.

He caught the ball, jumped lightly, flicked his fingers and shook his wrist gently. This time, he did not turn around, but slowly stepped back, following the rolling basketball as it fell into the white net.

"Oh my god, Chen Fang suddenly feels good!" Ke Fan shouted.

Two consecutive three-pointers inspired everyone on the Clippers. Ballmer, who had been depressed for most of the game, stood up and waved his arms and shouted, "One more!"

Everything happened too fast. Walton was yelling at Ingram and gesturing, asking him to keep an eye on the Chinese.

Yingge, who was accustomed to Chen Fang's previous style, did not adapt. Even though he tried very hard to defend, he was still not used to Chen Fang who took the initiative to run from the inside to the center circle and asked to hold the ball.

Facing Yingge, Chen Fang approached slowly. His skillful cross-crotch dribbling was pleasing to the eye, but only Yingge could sense the danger.

Suddenly, Chen Fang leaned over, opened and closed his steps, spread his legs and made a cross-crotch dribble, changed hands on one side and made a change of direction in front of his body, directly moving Yingge's center of gravity to the other side. While passing by him, Chen Fang also hit him, cutting off the latter's hope of chasing and defending.

Two meters outside the three-point line at the top of the arc, Chen Fang jumped high with the ball and demonstrated what a super 1.5-style pull-up shot is in front of Lakers fans.

He jumped so high that the orbital camera had to be manually adjusted to tilt slightly upwards in order to capture a panoramic view.

The ball was moving at an extremely fast speed, hitting the ground and passing through the net almost simultaneously.

Chen Fang made a three-point gesture with both hands, and then placed his left hand on his right forearm. This is a signature celebration action of Shuira, representing the ice shooter, and can also be considered a cold-blooded killer.

The Lakers’ anime fans call them: American Sasuke.

The most bizarre thing is why Chen Fang did this. Because of the leak scandal, Snyder was traded to the Nets by the Lakers this summer.

Seeing Chen Fang make three of three shots and then do the water pull to celebrate the three-pointer, the entire Staples Center went from silence to boiling in just one second.

"Woo woo woo!" There was a loud booing.

Chen Fang seemed to have expected this. He had a blank expression on his face, but the disdain in the corners of his mouth that was slightly raised was very clearly captured by the camera.

Chen Fang's sudden change in style, from gentle to rebellious, instantly turned the Staples Center upside down.

Ballmer was happy, he laughed out loud, Chen Fang helped him vent his anger, he liked basketball and he liked this plot, this kind of immersion is something money can't buy, as the owner of the Clippers, he was immediately delighted.

"What do you mean?" Yingge felt very uncomfortable. He rushed up and questioned.

Chen Fang shrugged: "I don't understand what you are talking about."

"Just pretend." Inge was pulled away by his teammates. It was Paul, who stared at him with sinister eyes.

And Chen Fang just blinked.

As the game continued, the Lakers, like an enraged lion, launched an all-out attack on the Clippers, focusing on Chen Fang.

Yingge took the initiative to challenge Chen Fang, but Chen Fang gladly accepted it. He waved to his teammates to get out of the way and said he didn't need any help.

Yingge changed directions continuously and used his body to knock Chen Fang away, but when he jumped up, Chen Fang used his excellent second jump to press his hand hard on the basketball.

A solid block once again caused the whole audience to scream. Yingge lost his balance and fell to the ground, but the ball was still in his hands. Chen Fang pounced on him like a hungry wolf and tried to grab the ball with both hands.

The two men struggled for actual control of the basketball and rolled into a ball. Seeing the situation was not good, teammates on both sides all rushed up and the scene suddenly became chaotic.

Three referees rushed over and blew their whistles wildly. Finally, the crowd dispersed, but Chen Fang and Yingge were still hugging each other.

"Get up, it's already a scramble for the ball," the referee shouted.

Chen loosened his hand, totally ignoring Yingge's murderous look, and got up. Then, he made a jaw-dropping move.

He actually reached out to pull Yingge, but the latter angrily pulled his hand away and stood up with the help of his teammates.

"I will definitely beat you in the jump." Chen Fang said lightly, then walked towards his teammates.

Every teammate came over to bump chests and high-five him. Chen Fang's fierce performance won everyone's respect.

Just as Chen Fang said, Chen Fang hooked the ball steadily towards his teammate with a higher speed and height. After getting the ball again, Chen Fang raised his head and crossed the center line with the ball.

His score has reached 20 points, surpassing Paul.

At this moment, everyone's attention was completely attracted by Chen Fang, and this was the effect Chen Fang wanted.

He began to return to his original style, holding the ball to connect the entire team, and the entire team was willing to accept it because of Chen Fang's wild rush and fierce blocks.

Everything went as Chen Fang had expected before the game and ended up with the most perfect result.

And in his mind, the perfect ending is the Clippers winning the game.

Chen Fang, who opened the game, completely attracted the Lakers' defense. His passing and breakthroughs became more threatening. In just a blink of an eye, the Clippers not only overtook the score, but also turned the tables and took the lead by ten points.

96: 106.

Paul began to get impatient and took the initiative to shoulder the burden of scoring, but Chen Fang was in hot form and after consecutive assists, he made two mid-range shots, bringing his score to 24 points, 7 assists and 8 rebounds.

The trend towards triple-doubles is becoming more and more obvious.

Ballmer's breath felt hot, and he kept asking Wenger, "Will there be a triple-double?"

"There are still four minutes left. It will be difficult."

"But it's already the best we've done!" Lawrence said.

"Yes, that's right. Wesley was right. Chen Fang really has potential!"

Duan Ran and Ke Fan in the commentary booth were already dumbfounded. The scoring surge that had not been seen for a long time suddenly appeared without any warning. In their minds, Chen had unknowingly reached a new height.

When Chen Fang hit his sixth three-pointer of the game and equalized Paul's four consecutive points, Duan Ran cheered, "The game is over. Chen Fang shines at the Staples Center. The new owner of the Clippers has arrived."

In the last three minutes, Paul accelerated the offensive and defensive tempo without reservation, but his efforts were not sustained by his weak teammates.

He had a strong singles match against Teodosic and hit his third three-pointer of the day, but in the next round, Chen Fang used a 2+1 layup to completely destroy Paul's desire to win.

Standing there with his hands on his hips and panting, Paul shook his head helplessly. He looked up at the big screen. In the last minute, if Chen Fang made the free throw, the gap would still be 9 points. It was a hopeless score difference.

After Rivers made the free throw, he replaced Chen Fang.

Chen Fang was booed again when he left the court. Compared with the boos for the free throws, the boos were much weaker. Instead, the trembling of a few white lotuses in the yellow ocean attracted attention.

When passing by Ballmer, the boss stopped Chen Fang, stood up, and said to Chen Fang enthusiastically: "It seems that I will bleed heavily today."

"Thank you for your generosity, boss." Chen Fang was happy from the bottom of his heart.

30分8助攻8篮板2帽，48万美金到手，换谁不要开心。

"Have you figured out how to use it?"

"Didn't you say you wanted to buy a car?"

"Great, cash or a car?"

"It's all right, depending on the boss's mood."

"Wait, then."

After receiving a positive answer, Chen Fang returned to the bench. He first high-fived everyone and then came to Rivers.

“I feel like I’ve figured out how to play basketball.”

"I've noticed, welcome to the Clippers." Rivers shook Chen Fang's hand.

"Tomorrow you will be the most dazzling person in Los Angeles, and soon you will be truly famous throughout the United States." Looking at Chen Fang's young and tender face, Rivers said with emotion.

"For me, winning is what I care about most." Chen Fang replied with a smile.

"Tonight was great!" Chen Fang said at the end.
