Rekindling the dream of becoming a star

Chapter 336 My Lord, Long Aotian, what can you do to me!
No one expected that the game against the Lakers would become the most exciting game of the season.

Its impact has profoundly changed the landscape of the alliance.

Years later, Chen Fang finally gave a direct response to this in an interview.

“I’ve been thinking about this for a while now. Yes, I’ve wanted to do this for a long time.”

"Then that day, I felt I was ready, so I did it."

When Chen Fang answered, the expression on his face was full of joy at the positive response.

Let's go back to March 4th.

The fight began the moment the referee tossed the ball in.

Davis touched the ball first, but as it fell, Chen Fang rushed into the Lakers' half of the court and won the ball first.

The Lakers' starting lineup is Rondo, Pope, James, Davis, and Howard.

Rondo was the quickest to react.

The two players, one in front and one behind, almost simultaneously gained control of the ball. Rondo's experience helped him, and he lay down on the ground to gain actual control.

The linesman blew his whistle, awarding possession to the Lakers.

Chen Fang helped Rondo up, said nothing, and turned back to his own half of the court to start looking for someone to defend him.

This was just a minor incident at the beginning, but some people sensed a hint of tension.

"Chen Fang seemed very excited," Duan Ran said in a deep voice.

The Lakers inbounded the ball to the sideline, and James wanted to receive it, but he was surprised to find Chen Fang next to him.

Rondo moved from the middle, received the ball, and began to orchestrate the offense. James ran to the right wing, observing his teammates' movements while glancing at Chen Fang out of the corner of his eye.

Chen Fang changed his previous defensive strategy and took the initiative to guard James, which immediately attracted the attention of the entire arena.

This is the first time Chen Fang has taken the initiative to defend James since he joined the Lakers. In the past, this always happened because of a switch.

James tried to move inside, actively seeking physical contact with Chen Fang with great confidence, but Chen Fang did not engage in a head-on confrontation. Instead, he moved in front of him to block the passing lane.

Rondo immediately dribbled to the right side, trying to find an opportunity for James to isolate Chen Fang, but Chen Fang suddenly withdrew and returned to James' back.

This may seem like a concession, but it's more like watching the show unfold.

The ball came, and James had no choice but to receive it, creating a back-to-the-basket situation for the two.

Chen Fang doesn't need to ask about James's post-up skills; just watch him dribble the ball a couple of times to know his level.

Despite the opponent's strength, he couldn't find the right way to exert force. He dribbled twice in a row, but Chen Fang easily pushed him back with a front cross-knee stance.

James immediately passed the ball back to Rondo outside and pointed to Pope, who had run to the top of the key.

"James gave up on backing down Chen Wang, ha!" Ke Fan couldn't help but laugh, but Duan Ran glared at him, so he covered his mouth.

But his expression could be displayed without restraint; he curled his lip and gave a disdainful smile.

On the court, Pope dribbled and tried to break past Jrue Holiday, but failed and immediately passed the ball to Davis who came out to make a save.

The latter received the ball, turned around, made a shooting motion, touched Jaren's center, put the ball down, took three steps, and made a layup that went in off the backboard, scoring the Lakers' first point.

The Lakers acquired Davis, solving their problem of having no one to defend him. In half-court sets, James is more like a spectator, only able to draw defenders away and facilitate play.

Therefore, defending James in half-court sets is not cost-effective; having the team's worst defender in that role is the best option.

This was the coaching staff's instruction, but Chen Fang did not follow it.

Because in half-court sets, James needs specific conditions to score comfortably, but in transition, James transforms into the most difficult fast break player to defend. If an average defensive player were to take over, it would be very difficult to balance James' scoring stats.

Because in a game, transitions and positional play are almost evenly matched, and many easy scoring opportunities come from transitions between offense and defense.

The reason why James behaves so differently in these two modes is actually closely related to his early basketball education.

As a player who made a sensation across the United States during his high school years, LeBron James' games are dominated by offensive and defensive transitions. In high school-level games, there is little half-court offense; constant sprints, fast breaks, and strong half-court sprints are the core scoring methods.

Only in college, due to the increased level of competition, the prevalence of zone defense, and the more stringent requirements for rebounding control and shot selection, will the number of offensive and defensive transition rounds decrease.

Therefore, only through the influence and training of the NCAA can a player gain a basic understanding and integration of tactics.

Why don't other high school students do this?
The reason is simple: it varies from person to person.

James entered the league with the crown of "King James," and he was a product of the league's pampering. During his first era with the Cavaliers (2003-2010), James had a three-point shooting percentage of 32.9% over seven seasons.

Of the total points scored, 81.7% came from the paint.

In the 2007-08 season, when he won his first scoring title, his scoring percentage was even more aggressive. He ranked first in the league in the number of field goal attempts in the paint, and more than half of his field goals that season came from the paint.

Almost all of the points scored in the paint here come from layups, whether in transition or through drives in half-court sets.

So it's quite simple to tell that James' scoring methods are severely unbalanced. He takes very few mid-range and three-point shots, which is why his shooting percentage is so high.

When James left the Cavaliers for the Heat, the team had players with a wide range of offensive skills, such as Wade and Bosh. James didn't need to hone his other skills. He only needed to maintain his original technical characteristics and stay healthy to handle most teams.

However, this kind of specialization becomes very weak in the high-intensity and high-difficulty playoffs, especially the finals, which is why James has almost no remarkable performances in key games.

This inertia often appears in the last few minutes of the fourth quarter.

Upon returning to the Cavaliers, James was showered with favors. The Cavaliers prepared everything for him, and his body did not suffer any problems. Unlike Kobe, who lost his explosiveness after rupturing his Achilles tendon and could only focus more on refining his skills.

This situation persisted until his time with the Lakers. As a powerhouse team, the Lakers naturally had their own principles and dignity. The help James received was piecemeal, thanks to the bubble games. Otherwise, judging from his record, the Lakers period was the time when James's honors and achievements were the most meager.

Even with Davis, James' impact on the team's record is still difficult to match against strong teams.

Starting from the 2018-19 season, the Lakers' record was 10th, 1st, 7th, 11th, 5th, 3rd, and 3rd.

Aside from the bubble games, the Lakers' record has been at a relatively low level.

Aside from the 2019-20 season, in the past seven years, they were eliminated in the first round three times, lost in the Western Conference Finals once, and failed to make the playoffs twice.

Overall, he is relatively weak, and cannot be compared to his two periods with the Cavaliers and the Heat.

Davis joined the Lakers at 26 and left at 32, dedicating the prime of his career to the Lakers and to James.

As one of the best centers in the league, Davis is a two-way player with superior overall abilities, surpassing Giannis Antetokounmpo and far superior to players like Towns and Embiid.

If we were to rank the league, Jokic would be number one, Giannis Antetokounmpo number two, and Davis would undoubtedly be number three.

It's also important to note that 20 years ago, Jokic wasn't fully mature. Strictly speaking, among the best centers in the league, Giannis Antetokounmpo and Anthony Davis were on par.

It's fair to say that Davis, who joined the Lakers at the age of 26, is already the best modern-class center in the league.

They lost to the Warriors in both playoffs, and those two seasons were the Warriors' championship seasons.

Individual honors: Davis was named to the All-NBA First Team three times, the All-Defensive First Team once, and the All-Defensive Second Team once.

Its integrated offense and defense capabilities are beyond doubt.

Therefore, without making assumptions, if Davis went to any team and was paired with an All-Star caliber player, the results, rankings, and honors he would achieve would be no less than if he had played for the Lakers.

This is why Chen Fang has never considered James as a top opponent, because it's difficult for James to influence a team or league ranking like other superstars.

No matter how much LeBron James' fans praise him, the fact is that James' dominance over the game is almost nonexistent.

His help to the team was not immediately effective.

Without the bubble games, James would definitely have The Decision 3.

In Chen's mind, he didn't take James seriously at all. Today, he was going to have a good showdown with James, tear off all the pretenses, and give James a good beating.

This applies not only to defense but also to scoring.

Chen Fang moved into the paint and positioned himself in the elbow area. Before James could react, the ball was already in Chen Fang's hands.

With just one back-to-the-basket dribble, using the momentum returned by James, Chen Fang flipped over and launched a mid-range shot over his opponent's head.

Because it happened in the last round, the contrast is so strong that it would make anyone react.

The entire Clippers bench stood up and cheered.

The fans at Staples Center immediately booed.

It has a strong provocative tone.

Turning back, Chen Fang didn't go far away, but kept his eyes fixed on James.

This is now solid proof, and James understands that Chen Fang's intentions today are not good.

Everyone has something to protect, and at the Lakers' home court, James wouldn't back down easily, so he started making hand gestures.

Rondo dribbled past half-court, Pope set a screen for James, who quickly cut to the basket. Rondo passed the ball from the top of the key, and Samwell came over to help, but James pushed him aside and watched helplessly as James drove in.

Zubac moved to this side, but James was not only fast but also had many footwork skills. He connected a layup with a jump step, reset the position, and formed a step-up and step-down move, bringing him right to Zubac's side. He then made a low layup and put the ball in.

"Isn't that traveling?" Zubac turned around and made a traveling gesture at the baseline referee while shouting.

In 2009, the NBA changed its traveling rule, allowing players to take two steps with the ball before stopping, passing, or shooting. Previously, only one step was permitted; taking a second step would be considered a traveling violation.

This applies to a technique that James often uses in games: dribbling, then suddenly stopping, taking a step off the ground with both feet, and then dribbling to the basket.

This rule greatly avoids the traveling problem caused by the shift of the pivot foot, and also makes James fall into the league's pampering in terms of footwork refinement, so there is no improvement in his footwork skills.

Despite Zubac's questioning, the referees remained unmoved, because the league's referees had long since reached a tacit understanding regarding the calls against James, being extremely lenient in both standards and techniques.

This also led to James being unable to adapt when the referee's standards were sometimes different, and he developed the habit of shrugging and asking why.

The Clippers play at a fast pace, and Chen Fang now prefers to play off-ball. After crossing half-court, he leads Pope, who is guarding him, towards the paint, actively seeking out Samwell, who is being guarded by James.

The two exchanged screens in an area one step inside the wing. After Sandwell retreated to the corner, Chen Fang was once again in a situation where he was facing James alone.

The camera captured James's changing expression, a clear look of helplessness and complaint on his lips.

But this time, Jrue Holiday's pass was interfered with by Rondo, and the pass was a little slow. In that brief second, James used his strength to push Chen Fang to the three-point line.

The timing for the pass was already bad, but when Jrue Holiday saw Chen Fang still waving his hand in acknowledgment, he immediately passed the ball to him.

Upon receiving the ball, simultaneously spread your feet wide, reset your pivot foot, make a shoulder swing, and at the same time release the ball and step out with your left foot to perform an inside cut-in stab.

James' defense wasn't bad, he was just lazy, but at this moment he was fully focused, immediately moving up to find physical contact, while simultaneously reaching out to grab his waist.

It was a continuous movement, a foul, but the whistle didn't blow, and Chen Fang didn't give up. Instead, he used the rebound force to pull the ball outwards.

Good footwork helped Chen Fang, allowing him to drag and pull sideways, gaining half a lateral position.

Chen Fang took a step and squeezed through, but James followed with his second step. The two collided again, and this time, Chen Fang lost his balance, fell to his knees, and was forced to stop playing.

The whistle still didn't blow, and Chen Fang immediately threw the ball to Thornwell in the corner. Before Thornwell could even react, he saw Chen Fang, who had gotten up again, block James once more.

The ball was bounced through the air, and Chen Fang, who received it, smoothly moved around, instantly turning James, who was blocking him, behind him.

"Toot toot!" The whistle rang out sharply, and Chen Fang turned his head to look, bursting into a rage.

"You called a foul on me? Didn't you see the previous fouls?" Chen Fang was really angry, confronting the referee for the first time.

Without the slightest hesitation, the referee immediately gave Chen Fang a technical foul.

He turned and left, muttering to himself. Even when his teammates came to comfort him, he shoved them away.

"Was that a foul?" Duan Ran, the commentator, was puzzled. He was waiting for the slow-motion replay, but this time, even after the next round ended, it didn't happen.

The confrontation between Chen Fang and James was too intense. From the moment Chen Fang's breakthrough was disrupted, causing him to fall and lose possession, to his back-to-the-basket move again, the whole process happened very quickly, within a few seconds. Duan Ran's commentary booth was quite far away, so we have to rely on the replay to get the full details.

He wasn't quite sure, but some people were very certain.

"This is utterly a distortion of the truth!" David roared, slamming his fist on the table as he demanded, "How obvious was the active force? You didn't even mention the arm around her waist, but when she turned around, you nitpicked the smooth, continuous movement of her arms."

"This home-field advantage is so obvious!"

Regardless of the doubts from the sidelines, the game continues.

James received the ball and dribbled hard to drive inside, but was repeatedly blocked by Chen Fang. As someone who always considers himself the face of the league, it's no wonder he lost face.

He needs to score a goal to assert his dignity.

After pushing past Samwell and leaning against Zubac, James reset his footwork to a hop step followed by a step-back, attempting a layup in his usual style to score two more points.

A taller figure appeared to Zubac's side, towering like a god or demon.

The ball, which had been pushed up, sailed over Zubac's arms protecting the rim, only to be slapped hard by a large hand that suddenly appeared from behind the mountain.

The ball went straight across and landed outside the sideline.

"A volleyball block? What a generous gift! How did King Chen even appear?" David exclaimed excitedly.

Upon landing, Chen Fang glared fiercely at James, who was pretending to be nonchalant, before turning around and letting out a deep roar.

It was a feeling. Although Chen Fang was blocked by Pope in the first step, he did not give up after getting rid of him. Instead, he went straight to the basket from the other side.

When he saw James start to drive to the basket, he didn't jump immediately. Instead, he shrewdly moved to Zubac's side to fill the last gap.

Unexpectedly, James used his footwork to circle back to the other side. At this moment, Chen Fang was filled with rage and jumped up from the spot, making a final effort with a terrifying vertical leap.

That was very satisfying; he succeeded.

After swatting the ball away, Chen Fang accepted his teammates' chest bumps in celebration, then walked back to the sideline, as James had already come to the outside to receive the inbound pass.

Instead of avoiding the ball, James reached out to catch it, blowing on his palm – his signature gesture when he wanted to attack.

Chen Fang did not press close, but chose to stand two meters away and wait.

After Pope inbounded the ball, he immediately set a screen for James. The moment James received the ball, he suddenly accelerated, charging straight towards the paint, shoving aside the help defender Thornwell, leaping up, blocking Zubac who was protecting the rim, and dunking the ball into the basket.

"An incredible dunk!" the Lakers commentator roared, accompanied by cheers from the 20,000 Lakers fans in the arena.

Landing, striking a pose, James pointed at the floor and yelled at the baseline fans and cameramen: "This is my territory, mine!"

Chen Fang gathered everyone together: "I'm not satisfied with this defense. Where's the aggression? What's with the home-court advantage? If you're worried about it, then just stop playing."

No one dared to argue, especially Zubac, who, after being glared at fiercely by Chen Fang, lowered his head and assured him, "Boss, I understand."

The ball was taken again. Chen Fang dribbled the ball across half-court and forcefully drove past Pope. He drove straight past the three-point line and the free-throw line, facing Davis and Howard, the two big men protecting the rim. He forced a hang time and pulled up for a shot, creating space and flicking the ball towards the basket.

Seeing the ball go in, Chen Fang, who had lost his balance and fallen to the floor, got up. Instead of taunting, he walked out proudly.

Despite Chen Fang's scoring, Davis and James were also scoring. On the Clippers' side, the help from Samwell and Jrue Holiday was not strong enough, so after six minutes, Rivers substituted Lou Williams and Harrell for Jaren.

Lou Williams' presence was so intimidating that the Lakers had to divert their attention again, giving Chen Fang more scoring opportunities.

In the eighth minute, Chen Fang found another opportunity to go one-on-one with James. He faked a shot and then made a quick left-side drive, completely getting past James this time. Taking a big step forward, Chen Fang pulled up for a jump shot, catching James off guard.

"Toot toot!" The whistle finally sounded.

Chen Fang fell to the floor as he watched the ball go in.

"Beautiful emergency stop, 2+1! This time, the referee can't pretend he didn't see it!" Ke Fan roared.

Chen Fang got up, went to the free throw line, and calmly put the ball in.

This was his 13th point of the quarter, and his ferocity was clearly visible.

"It's all mid-range shots. Chen Wang has changed his playing style. He no longer uses three-pointers to win games, but instead chooses more masculine mid-range shots and goes into stronger defensive areas to fight."

James stood with his hands on his hips, panting. He was having a particularly bad day, having only scored 6 points so far, all of which were layups.

He made two shots, but neither went in.

He tried a three-pointer once, but it didn't go in.

The problem lies with this Chinese player. You can't shake him off without using a screen, and even if you do use a screen, he won't give up. This greatly affects James's offense.

Because of the high energy expenditure, Chen was substituted after making the free throw. "You really wanted to win today!" Rivers went up and hugged him.

"No, I just want to have fun!" Chen Fang shook his head and said.

Rivers was puzzled, but he didn't press the matter. You have to tolerate some of the obsessions of the team's superstars and cooperate with them.

Chen Fang rested for four minutes in the second quarter before returning to the court.

He immediately switched positions with Thornwell, who was guarding James. James had just entered the game and hadn't scored a single point when he encountered Chen Fang.

Their expressions were not good, and although the two continued to entangle themselves, they showed no intention of exchanging words.

Only heavy breathing and the thuds of collisions could be heard.

"Chen Wang was very active on defense today. He was mainly responsible for guarding James, from preventing him from receiving the ball to one-on-one defense. So far, James has only scored 8 points."

"Not only that, Chen Wang also needs to continue to play a core role in the offense. His tough shots in the middle helped the Clippers maintain an 8-point lead."

Duan Ran repeatedly emphasized to the viewers that Chen Fang was giving his all on both offense and defense today.

"Chen Fang scored two more points, bringing his total to 20. He has widened the gap to double digits, and the Lakers are now down by ten points, 48 ​​to 58!" Ke Fan exclaimed.

This was a brilliant play. Chen Fang drove past James laterally and, half a meter inside the free-throw line, used a series of shooting fakes to shake off Davis, who was trying to help defend. Then, without his pivot foot moving significantly, he flipped over and jumped to score.

"He looks exactly like Kobe, a perfect likeness!" Ke Fan was even more enthusiastic; he wasn't as reserved as Duan Ran.

"Watching Chen Wang play ball is so enjoyable that I feel tired if I don't watch it for a day."

Chen Fang's slender figure, unusual limbs, and movements certainly create a visually appealing and long-lost sense of beauty.

Saying he's like Kobe is a bit of an exaggeration, because Chen Fang's shooting posture is more relaxed and fluid, with his elbow level.

He wanted to say that Jordan was like him, but ultimately refrained from saying it because he knew it would attract criticism and cause dissatisfaction among Jordan fans.

"Damn it, we need to be more aggressive!" James complained, but the Lakers, having acquired Davis in the trade, no longer had any reliable role players, and even brought in two two-way players from the G League.

James looked at Walton, who then called out to Anthony, who was watching the show.

"At this point, we need a scorer, and Anthony is a perfect fit," the Lakers commentator exclaimed with delight.

James chose to leave the court, and Chen Fang seemed to be targeting him as well, requesting to leave the court as well.

Neither of them looked at each other; Chen Wang only showed James the back of his head.

The Clippers continued to make changes to their lineup. In terms of strength, the Lakers are very weak. Apart from the starters, their rotation is very unstable.

During halftime, Mazura gave a brief defensive briefing, and the Clippers were already very consistent offensively.

With two lineups, ten players rotating stably, and two tactical pieces, the game is very well-rounded.

In the end, however, Mazura looked at Chen Fang.

"If you shut down Davis, the Lakers can't turn the game around," Chen Fang warned.

In the third quarter, Chen Fang approached James again at the start. James had 13 points and was hoping to pad his stats in the third quarter, but Chen Fang wasn't going to let him have it easy.

To this end, Chen Fang could even set aside his offense and focus solely on containing James.

Because the Clippers' offensive options mostly consist of layups and jump shots, with almost no three-pointers, they have very few transition possessions, which greatly reduces James's chances of getting going.

So James started trying mid-range shots, but Chen Fang interfered with each one.

"Chen Fang reacted quickly, and his wingspan is long enough. It won't be easy for James to score with a shot," Ke Fan commented without reservation.

It must be said that James adapted quickly. He started to appear more on the wing and use cross-cuts to initiate the offense, making it difficult for Chen Fang to interfere with him during slow movements.

Chen Fang was pushed aside again, and James used a very strange posture to turn and jump shot, completely shifting his body.

Mentioning drifting is an overstatement.

The ball missed, and Chen Fang immediately converted it into a rebound. He started to accelerate, but James thwarted his attempt on the second step.

"Beep beep!" The referee's whistle blew.

James, however, simply ran away.

Clutching his left rib, Chen Fang supported himself with one hand on the ground, squatting there panting heavily. He had been caught off guard and the sudden shock almost made him faint.

"How is it?" Sandwell was the first to come over, squatting down as well, and asked anxiously.

It took Chen Fang a while to recover. He touched his ribs, which were still aching slightly.

Not far away, Rivers was furious, arguing with the referee, believing that James's move was unsportsmanlike.

But the referee definitely wouldn't call it. Seeing his teammates gather around, Chen Fang waved his hand and said, "It's okay, let's continue!"

It seemed that Chen Wang was trying to smooth things over, but a few seconds later, as Chen Fang received the ball, he raised his hand and gave James an elbow to the chest.

Well, James, who was initially taken aback but remained unharmed, suddenly became furious and glared angrily at Chen Fang.

Now it was Chen Fang's turn to act as if nothing had happened.

The game continued uninterrupted, and the ball was passed to DiVincenzo in the corner, where he took a three-pointer.

The ball hit the rim and went wide. Chen Fang jumped up to grab the rebound, while James also leaped high.

The two touched the basketball almost simultaneously, but Chen Fang was faster, and his larger hand provided an advantage.

But James got excited because of that last move.

Undeterred, she tried to snatch the ball from Chen Fang's arms. In the end, the two became entangled, and Chen Fang was thrown out. However, because Chen Fang protected the ball so well, he did not completely lose control of it and even instinctively used the skill of wrestling.

James was also pulled off balance.

The two immediately tumbled and fell to the ground in the paint area.

Teammates were right there, and both sides swarmed forward. The referee's whistle blew non-stop for a second, blowing it wildly.

Ultimately, with the help of their teammates, the two separated.

Chen Fang was still holding the ball, showing no intention of giving it up.

Two referees came over to demand the ball, and he reluctantly let go.

"Both teams' captains are very hot-tempered today." Duan Ran was also a little frightened.

"But this is about the attitude towards the game. A derby is supposed to be more intense than a regular match."

After speaking, Duan Ran looked at Ke Fan, and they could both see the lingering fear on each other's faces.

It's unimaginable; if Chen Wang and James were to fight, it would be like Mars colliding with Earth.

Thankfully, it didn't get too serious.

Ultimately, after reviewing the video repeatedly, the referee ruled for a jump ball, since Chen Fang had already had one at the start of the game, so this time, the ball was awarded to the Clippers.

James was unhappy and kept arguing with the referee, but the referee, who had just been startled, refused to listen and directly signaled for the ball to be taken in from the sideline.

Off the court, Rivers realized his palms were sweaty.

"We need to replace Chen Wang!" Brian said worriedly, but he was stopped by him.

“Impossible.” Rivers knew all too well that replacing Chen Fang now would create a permanent rift.

He can't take that risk.

"At most, they'll fight, so what?" Rivers, a seasoned veteran, quickly discerned the gravity of the situation.

The match continued, but given the earlier conflict, the level of hostility between the two sides was escalating.

Chen Fang attempted his first three-pointer, followed by a series of fake shots from the corner, and finally sealed the victory with a pull-up three-pointer.

James, who was on defense, looked sullen because he saw the disdain in Chen Fang's eyes.

He's completely dropped the pretense; after fighting this far, Chen Fang has no time for pretense anymore.

Chen Fang has scored 31 points, while James currently has only 15 points.

89:76.

With a 13-point deficit, more than half of the third quarter had passed.

Jaren Jr. drove to the basket but was interfered with by Dwight Howard, and the referee called a foul on him.

He stepped up to the free-throw line, Chen Fang stood on the sideline ready to grab the rebound, and James was right next to him.

The two stood side by side, focused and ready.

For the second free throw, the moment the ball left Jaren's hands, Chen Fang immediately turned to try and squeeze his position, but suddenly found that everything went black and a bright light streaked across the sky.

The next second, Chen Fang realized what was happening.

I got elbowed!
I'll fuck your mother's ass, this is outrageous!
Overwhelmed by rage, Chen Fang channeled his inner energy, turned around, and wrapped his arms around James's neck with precision, before twisting and slamming him to the ground.

Standard Chinese wrestling: Neck clamp!
“OMG………………!”

"Ahhhh!"

"Prince Chen tackled and threw the young emperor to the ground!"

"I can't believe my eyes!"

Everyone in the audience screamed, and even the referee was stunned.

Little Jaren, who was closest, was the first to react. He rushed over and hugged Davis, who had already put his hand on Chen Fang.

"What do you want to do!" he roared.

Before Davis could react, Jaren grabbed him and pushed him to the ground.

The situation was out of control, and players from both the Lakers and Clippers, including their benches, were rushing onto the court.

Duan Ran was dumbfounded; the most terrifying thing had happened.

He saw it all too clearly. In fact, since it was a free throw, everyone was stationary, so anyone who wasn't blind could see it perfectly.

James moved first, making a clear shoulder-leaning and arm-raising motion, while Chen Fang just happened to be squeezing into the paint area from the side; their movements were reciprocal.

James' elbow struck Chen Fang's cheek, and Chen Fang reacted with astonishing speed. He twisted his body, grabbed James' neck with both hands, and threw him to the floor in a wrestling-style counter-slam.

James seemed to have collapsed from exhaustion, lying sprawled on the floor for several seconds without moving.

After Chen Fang fell, he had just stood up when Pope rushed up and hugged him.

Entering combat mode, Chen Fang executed a backhand strike, followed by a hip lift, a kick, and an arm flip, slamming Pope back to the floor with incredible fluidity.

This stunned the third Lakers player, Carmelo Anthony, a veteran of the New York mob, who instinctively began to avoid risks!
At that moment, the Clippers players rushed over, surrounded Chen Fang, and stood in front of him.

James finally understood. He struggled to his feet. He had never experienced anything like this in his life, so much so that his mind went blank. He could only search for Chen Fang's figure with angry eyes.

Unfortunately, there were so many shadowy figures around him that he could no longer distinguish friend from foe.

More people surged over: security personnel, technical staff, arena staff, and assistant coaches from both sides.

Throughout the first half, there were at least fifty or sixty people standing there, a sea of ​​black.

Chen Fang was protected by his teammates and slowly retreated across the center line back to his own half of the court.

Rivers finally squeezed through and hugged Chen Fang.

"We've really messed up today!" he said to Chen Fang with a wry smile.

"Fuck, fuck! I'm going to fuck this bitch to death!" Chen Fang was still furious.

James made too many dirty tricks today, and his anger finally built up like a volcano and erupted.

“Let’s go back to the locker room first!” Rivers said.

"No, I'm not leaving. I want to see what he can do to me!"

At this moment, Chen Fang was like Long Aotian reborn, both arrogant and mad.

James was still angrily trying to regain control of the game. He kept charging forward, and with his historic fast break ability, he actually bypassed the staff's defenses and crossed half-court.

When Chen Fang saw James charging towards him, he suddenly sped up, shaking off Rivers and heading straight for him.

Everyone was terrified and chased after them frantically.

There were just too many people. Chen Fang was stopped after only a few steps, and the same was true for James.

The two eventually came to a distance of about three meters.

A person can't move, but their mouth can.

"Fuck you, you piece of trash who only knows how to sneak attack, you despicable traitor!"

Chen Fang retorted, "You're talking about yourself, aren't you? You good-for-nothing, a bastard who only knows how to run away!"

They had no time to think; both sides blurted out everything they could think of.

"Wow, if it weren't for the sneak attack, you'd be dead by now!"

"I'm fucking laughing. I can strangle you with my crap on the spot. You should be grateful for my mercy and go home to cry in your mother's arms! You little scoundrel who only dares to operate behind the media!"

Chen Fang spoke too fast; James had only uttered half a sentence when Chen Fang had already spewed out three.

If it weren't for the two of them pushing and shoving each other, pushing each other further and further apart, who knows how many vicious trash words James would have had to endure.

The scene of the explosion.

An explosive showdown.

The Staples Center was blown up.

Everyone in the stadium, regardless of age or gender, felt both immense pleasure and terror.

This is practically a decade's worth of overdue dopamine!
Without hesitation, the referee made a quick decision, and the head referee announced the ruling into the microphone.

"Chen Fang has committed two technical offenses and is hereby expelled."

"Jarren, a second-degree criminal, is hereby expelled!"

The referee issued seven ejections: three for the Lakers and four for the Clippers.

“You can go home now!” Rivers said to Chen Fang.

"Go back, I'll take care of everything!" he reassured her.

Chen Fang thought for a moment, worried that Wu Zi at home would be concerned, and then nodded.

"Trouble!"

Rivers smiled wryly as he watched Chen Fang leave.

This conflict is only just beginning.

What follows would be nothing short of cataclysmic!

Hopefully it won't affect the playoffs!
Everyone on the Clippers team had a gloomy look on their face, except for the players.

Everyone was in a frenzy. The scene of Chen Fang taking on two opponents was so amazing that all the players were still immersed in unparalleled excitement.

What the hell is this?!
Watching all this, Duan Ran and Ke Fan in the commentary booth were unable to calm down for a long time.
