The Point Guard is Here

Anfini Hardaway's reputation reached its peak after defeating Jordan.

He is known as the only defender who can beat Jordan.

He was Jordan's successor before, but now, some media people even want to crown him quickly.

For the fans, a young man with a cool style, handsome appearance, and superb skills is certainly a phenomenon worthy of pursuit.

Nike is also sparing no effort to promote Hardaway. They hope Hardaway's commercial appeal can catch up with the Jordan series. Hardaway has always played the role of the prince in the Nike camp.

When the Knicks arrived in Orlando, the airport was full of Hardaway TV commercials, and then there were Hardaway and O'Neal billboards everywhere next to the highway.

"Have you found one thing."

When the car was about to arrive at the hotel, Fan Xi said to everyone: "Hadaway's billboard is bigger and more than O'Neill."

Everyone thinks it deserves it.

Because Hardaway is a defender, the defender is higher than the center in terms of play style and market value.

It's like... Mr. Patrick Ewing, the absolute core of the Knicks, doesn't have signature shoes, but Fan Xi has his own brand. Recently it has sold very hotly, and it has also launched a high-end customized version of Indiana color, which was sold out. Severely made a fortune of ‘walkers are hard to make money’.

Fan Xi thought this matter was unusual.

This is in the 90s, this is the era when you can control the audience by mastering the basket. An exception is the Tianzong Wizards like Michael Jordan, who are better than Larry Bird and Magic Johnson, who also have to rely on the center big buddies in the penalty area.

Now, sophomore Anfini Hardaway has gained a reputation and status much higher than that of O'Neal in Orlando, which is obviously not right.

This may indicate that the Orlando Magic are more inclined to Hardaway... they want to build the next Jordan.

Because only in this way can the benefits be maximized.

Michael Jordan used his influence to market the Bulls around the world, and it is difficult for the Magic to not have similar ideas.

So... this may be an opportunity to take advantage of.

You know that Shaq O'Neal has always been a public figure who likes to show up in the media.

…

When Fan Xi wondered how to divide Hardaway and O'Neal. Hardaway is furious with his agent and Nike executives.

"This past week, the sales of my signature shoes were not as good as Jackie?"

"My Chicago color scheme loses to his Indiana color scheme in terms of pricing and sales?"

This is the most unbearable thing Hardaway.

He has an indescribable dislike for Fan Xi.

It's no wonder that Hardaway, who took Jordan's successor on his debut, is arrogant and sensitive, and has a smooth journey without any setbacks. But he happened to run into Fan Xi, the copper pea with its own plug-in, and couldn't bite Fan Xi again and again. Fan Xi had a broken tooth and let him swallow it with blood.

This breath... Hardaway can't bear it.

The defeat of Jordan was a commendable event for him, and it marked his entry into the field of superstars. He thought that his sneakers would be on sale, and even surpassed Jordan in one fell swoop.

However.

It's really on sale. The sales volume is very good, showing a straight upward trend than before.

However, it is still not beyond Jordan. After all, Jordan's remaining prestige is still the same, and he has won three consecutive championships. Hardaway wanted to make a comeback once, and it was really difficult.

But why can't even Fan Xi be super?

He has just been slightly recognized as an elite player by everyone. There is at least three or four grades between him and me. I am the core of Orlando and the superstar of the league's first team. What is he? Why surpass me in business value? Why are so many people buying his sneakers?

"It may be because of the recent scandal." His agent said cautiously: "This kid has always been eating by his face, and many women want to buy his sneakers. Moreover, it has recently been reported that he and Kate Winslet cheated. News. This gives a lot of American women an opportunity to follow the example of Kate Winslet... You know, when a glass breaks a hole in a house, soon other windows will be in succession. Break. Those women have fantasies about little Jack, so they pay for him..."

What?

Hardaway became even more angry when he heard these words.

What is the reason for this?

"He cheated, and women are even more crazy about him? Are you kidding me?" Hardaway couldn't believe that his ears could hear such ridiculous things.

"That's the truth. You know, this is the folk customs here." The broker spread his palms.

Then, Nike executives also said that there is indeed such a trend. Little Jack is really easy to fascinate women, this is something we did not expect. Moreover, his performance in Indiana is indeed very exciting. The intensity of the tie-break between the Knicks and the Pacers is also the reason....

Nike executives said so down.

Hardaway couldn't listen even more, he slammed the door and left.

The feeling of dislike for Fan Xi further increased.

…

On May 25, there are 10 days before Fan Xi’s 18th birthday.

The first Eastern Conference finals between the Knicks and the Magic were held at Orlando Waterhouse Center Arena.

Van Hee got the chance to start, and his teammates were Starks, Charles Smith, Charles Oakley, and Patrick Ewing.

The starters of the Magic are Nick Anderson, Anfini Hardaway, Dennis Scott, Hollis Grant, and Shaq O'Neal.

Both sides have their own lineups.

After the game began, the Orlando Magic took the lead in starting a wild offensive.

The nominal point guard for the Magic is Nick Anderson, but the ball holder is Anfini Hardaway.

Hardaway made a quick breakthrough immediately after holding the ball, and the Knicks arranged for Starks to defend him. Starks is a very good defender. He used to play against Jordan. Although he couldn't help it, he also won Jordan's admiration and entered the best defensive team.

Hardaway took advantage of his height, and his agile figure quickly penetrated into the paint area.

Entering the paint, when the Knicks' defense surrounded him, he quickly passed the ball beyond the three-point line.

This is his most valuable place.

The height of the small forward covers the field of vision and the sense of assists like a point guard.

Scott received the basketball and hit the first three-pointer of the game, making a good start for the Magic.

After the easy side battle, Fan Xi slightly improved his rhythm. He also made a quick assault to the paint area, and then assisted Ewing to hit a mid-range.

At this time, O'Neal is still in the baby shark state. In the third grade, he has not reached the peak defensive level, and he can't prevent it.

Therefore, Ewing and Robinson often opened up and beat him.

This is also where he is very dissatisfied with these two people.

He believes that the true center should head-to-head on the inside. Or like Olajuwon, use his footsteps to play the opponent invisible, instead of floating outside and bullying him from getting out of the restricted area.

Under the management of Coach Hill, the Orlando Magic still stick to the previous tactics of fighting the Bulls.

Anfini Hardaway controlled the ball and gave O'Neal the opportunity to play singles in the penalty area. Once O'Neal has no chance and encounters a pincer, he quickly passes the ball out to the shooter outside.

The Knicks first arranged for Ewing to defend O'Neal, and then replaced him with the axe-bearer Charles Oakley. But the single defense can't be limited. After entering the second quarter, he started to flick ~www.readwn.com~ but once flicked, O'Neal quickly went out the ball.

Today the Magic's shooter feels very good, hitting three-pointers one after another.

Although the Knicks did not have a way to crack the magic's inherent tactics, their own offense, led by Fan Xi, played very well. Starks, Charles Smith, and Ewing formed an offensive trident.

The two sides fight you and me, it's very fierce.

The pace of the game is also fast.

The two sides almost finished the third quarter in the form of a confrontation, and the style changed suddenly after entering the fourth quarter.

At this time, the game has entered a real climax!

Because Hardaway blocked Van Hee one-on-one.
