Chapter 189: Killer instinct, straight to the Yellow Dragon

~10 min read 1,888 words

Chris Bosh received the instruction, he received the basketball from Wade, and he played back-to-the-basket against Mike Dunleavy.

They played against each other very early; Dunleavy was the third overall pick in 2002, and Bosh was the fourth overall pick in 2003. They have played in this league for eight or nine years and know each other well.

Bosh determined that playing Mike Dunleavy alone was as simple as cutting melons and vegetables; Dunleavy, a shooter, had no ability to resist the paint at all. So he first feinted a shot from the front, deceived Dunleavy's defense and cut into the paint by one step. At this time, he watched Odom help defend, and he stopped quickly.

He made a back-to-the-basket decision, leaned on Dunleavy, and then turned around with a Sikma step, taking the opportunity to pick the basketball toward the basket with his left hand.

But as soon as he shot, Dunleavy jumped up violently, and he slapped the basketball with a slap... *Slap! *

The basketball was slapped down on the spot, Fan Xi was quick-eyed and quick-handed, he grabbed the basketball like a cheetah and killed into the paint, and then he quickly rushed to the frontcourt.

The passion of the entire Staples Center was ignited by Dunleavy's block; everyone originally thought that Bynum went off, and the Lakers' paint collapsed. Who knew that at the moment of crisis, Dunleavy actually took out such a performance, suppressing Miami's eagerness to move with a nail-board block.

Fan Xi launched a fierce counterattack seamlessly; the seamless impact made Miami, a mobile brigade, a bit unable to react.

When Dwyane Wade rushed up, trying to block Fan Xi's way at the half-court, he found that when Fan Xi accelerated, he suddenly patted the ball to the right with his right hand. Just when everyone, including Wade, thought Fan Xi would attack from the right, Fan Xi used his left hand to pull the basketball back, directly attacking from the left!

Shaking God.

In a flash, the Flash Wade's pupils lost Fan Xi's shadow.

Fan Xi is a daring ball handler; he dares to use the most gorgeous moves on the street in the tense moments of the Finals.

Thanks to his superb technique, he always succeeds.

Wow!

Even Magic couldn't help but praise; this is the perfect pass he couldn't complete.

The screams and cheers of the fans at the scene were like a tsunami sweeping the arena. Fan Xi had stepped into the three-point line in a flash. LeBron James hurriedly went to help defend; he even prepared to knock Fan Xi down directly... he couldn't let Fan Xi complete a gorgeous defensive counterattack in one go.

This would ignite the momentum of Los Angeles completely.

When the home atmosphere is set off to the extreme, things are not easy to handle.

However, just as he was about to hit Fan Xi head-on, Fan Xi suddenly passed the basketball to Lamar Odom on the left.

James braked instantly; he had to help defend Odom.

But he didn't find that Fan Xi had already rushed into the paint like lightning.

Bad!

Wall-collision cooperation!

James shouted badly, he looked back, Fan Xi was already flying over the paint, his agile posture was like a god descending to earth, Odom's pass was just right, Fan Xi grabbed the basketball at the highest point, and he smashed the basketball toward the basket with both hands.

His body was like a strong bow pulled to the full.

With the courage of ten thousand men.

With the momentum of going forward.

Haslem hesitated for a moment under the basket and finally let go of his pace.

He didn't have the courage to block; he didn't want to become a background board.

*Boom! *

Fan Xi's dunk exploded deep in the Miami Heat's paint, venting the surging energy to the whole court, the whole world.

When Fan Xi landed like a startled bird.

The audience at the scene had already boiled, MVP! MVP! MVP!

The uniform sound wave pushed the game to a climax.

The fans in front of the TV were even more excited; they were dancing one by one. At this time, across the ocean, the CCTV commentator was shouting at the top of his lungs: My mother! My mother! Fan Xi is here again, he exploded!!

And in many bars in Los Angeles, there were roars and bottle-smashing sounds one after another; everyone was too excited.

This dunk has the significance of a Dinghai God Needle.

From Dunleavy's block, to Fan Xi pushing the lightning fast break, killing Wade with a "shaking God" street move at the half-court, facing James's aggressive help defense, adopting the wall-collision cooperation on the football field to hit the space, and finally straight to the Yellow Dragon, flying into the sky, bombing and punishing.

Perfect!

If this isn't show-time, what is?

The passion of Lakers fans verified the gold content of this ball.

Kobe Bryant stood up, roared twice quite excitedly, and then said to Magic Johnson: "Elvin, do you know Jack's power now? His ability to seize opportunities is much stronger than yours. His most powerful place is that once the opponent's defense has a loophole, he can kill the opponent directly."

"This ability of his is the strongest in Lakers history, even stronger than me."

The proud Kobe was even self-effacing at this moment.

This is very rare.

However, thinking back, Fan Xi's ability to hit key shots is too strong; he has only played for one season, and he has killed the Heat with game-winners three times, three whole times. Many superstars haven't even completed three game-winners in their entire careers, but Fan Xi alone got three against the Heat in a single season, and, all three were against another superstar, Dwyane Wade.

Magic Johnson took a deep breath.

As the first shooting guard in history, he is very proud.

Jerry West, standing next to him, as one of the greatest scorers in Lakers and even league history, the only Finals loser MVP, is also very proud.

However, at this moment, both fell into silence.

Yes, Fan Xi has too many places inferior to them, passing, back-to-the-basket, scoring skills... and so on, but they cannot deny a clear fact: Fan Xi is a natural killer; as long as you give him a little opportunity, he can kill the opponent.

This is the origin of the Miracle Child; he walks on the edge of the blade, and his reaction in milliseconds is always unexpected and deadly dangerous.

He stands on the court, even in the most desperate moment, he has the ability to kill the opponent with one knife.

This ball just now was like this; the Heat only made one mistake, Chris Bosh shouldn't have shown his clumsy Sikma step, and the moment Dunleavy blocked him, Fan Xi was already ready; he only used less than five seconds to complete the dunk from the backcourt to the frontcourt.

Among them, he also passed two superstars, Wade and James.

"Jack Fan, not simple."

Charles Barkley couldn't help but praise at this time, he said: "His control ability in a very short time is top-level in history; he is really a time management master."

"Now, Los Angeles's momentum is open. Let's see if they can stabilize this momentum."

Barkley said so.

Pat Riley on the sidelines also stood up again; he pressed his hands down, and he shouted to Wade, James, and them: "Steady, don't panic, play slowly, play positional warfare."

He was worried that the Heat would dance to Fan Xi's rhythm.

Under his rich body movements, the Heat's rhythm tended to be gentle.

Dwyane Wade held the ball and played Fan Xi one-on-one. Fan Xi kept entangling him, he then passed to James, James impacted Matt Barnes's defense, he killed into the paint, passed to Haslem, Haslem shot, and was interfered with by Odom.

Dunleavy jumped up again, and he grabbed the rebound.

Passed to Fan Xi quickly, and ran side-by-side with Fan Xi, with a proud smile on his fair face: "Jack, do you say I am worth ten million?"

Fan Xi raised his eyebrows: "Of course, you are much stronger than Rashard Lewis."

Rashard Lewis, a tall forward, used to be Ray Allen's assistant, can shoot three-pointers, occasionally can enter the 4th position to fill the position, he is the object of envy for all shooters, because he signed a contract of hundreds of millions of dollars.

Fan Xi now uses Rashard Lewis to encourage Mike Dunleavy, which can be said to have hit Dunleavy's heart.

With Fan Xi's words, he was full of energy, and the speed of running was faster.

Fan Xi quickly arrived at the frontcourt, and the Heat's retreat speed was very fast.

However, Fan Xi's starting speed was faster; he arrived at the three-point line, didn't stop for a moment, and rushed inside in a flash. Wade hurriedly followed, but Odom pulled to the outside, Fan Xi quickly entered the free-throw line through his screen. 【

At this moment, Odom also cut down from the other side.

This is a typical run-and-gun V-cut pick-and-roll, a move Steve Nash and Stoudemire used to great effect.

Fan Xi made a motion to pass the ball to the left with a bounce pass, but in the end, he passed the ball to the top of the three-point arc.

Derek Fisher caught the ball and shot.

This "Old Fish," whose playing time had plummeted due to Fan Xi's rapid rise, was still accurate... Swish!

He hit another three-pointer.

The point spread expanded to double digits.

The fervent morale at Staples Center had formed a prairie fire.

Beep!

Pat Riley didn't hesitate and immediately called a timeout.

He didn't care about saving face; it was a matter of life and death.

He had been caught off guard by Fan Xi again, he hadn't anticipated Los Angeles's special maneuvers again, and he was being pinned in a corner and beaten up.

The "Godfather" didn't like this feeling at all, and he swore that he would pay back this beating in the time to come.

Because... Los Angeles was merely opportunistic.

You can't win a Grand Champion by taking shortcuts.

They don't have that gene right now.

Pat Riley held his tactical board, quickly drawing lines on it. As a top-tier coach in the League, his sense for the game was extremely sharp, and he quickly made the corresponding defensive adjustments.

Run-and-gun is not hard to deal with.

Even the Phoenix Suns, who pioneered the run-and-gun momentum back in the day, were beaten black and blue and beyond recognition when they reached the playoffs, eventually willingly breaking up their run-and-gun combination to bring in the aging Shaquille O'Neal to hold down the fort.

And that was a good deed done by Pat Riley.

Fan Xi returned to the bench. He was already very clear that the run-and-gun wouldn't be so easy from here on out; even if morale was high now, many things come and go quickly.

So, when Lao Wente asked Fan Xi what to do next?

Fan Xi asked him back: "Do you want to maintain the double-digit lead from the first half?"

Lao Wente was silent for a few seconds, then he nodded.

Fan Xi said: "Then that's the only way."
