Chapter 243: Revenge? Is there any place more suitable than Miami?

Rasheed Wallace was already very old, and his reaction ability was far inferior to Dwight Howard's. When Howard first entered the league, he often pulled him out to military-train him, but now, as he watched Howard pounce on him, he couldn't make any reaction at all.

Pop!

Howard slapped the ball fiercely, and the ball was slapped out of bounds by him. At the same time, his huge impact also hit Rasheed Wallace, and Wallace fell to the ground in response.

With a thud, a huge sound.

Howard took a step forward, and amidst the cheers of the whole arena, he beat his chest and roared.

Undoubtedly, this would be one of the best shots of his career; this block was very iron-blooded and very shocking.

Suppressing him from mid-air, man and ball together. Although Rasheed Wallace was very old, he was Rasheed Wallace after all.

Wallace raised his head and saw Howard standing in front of him, legs apart, aiming his crotch at his head. A sudden fire of ignorance rose in his heart, and he rushed up to punch Howard.

But Howard turned to the side, and Wallace's punch missed. He hurriedly climbed up and braced against Howard, but he didn't stand firm and was pushed by Howard, sitting on the ground again.

The fans on the sidelines laughed out loud.

They cheered for Howard's behavior of repeatedly humiliating Wallace. They were fueling the hostility on the court.

The players from both sides quickly gathered together, and the three referees hurriedly intervened to separate the two sides to avoid a bigger conflict.

Rasheed Wallace was sent back to the bench, and both he and Howard received a T.

The head referee hit both sides with fifty boards.

But at this time, the entire Clippers locker room became sad and angry. Howard's block on Rasheed Wallace was originally beyond reproach; on the court, you eat by your ability.

However, he stepped over the head of Wallace, who had already fallen to the ground, which was very provocative, and he subsequently pushed Wallace over.

The shouting of the Magic fans on the sidelines also made the gunpowder smell stronger.

"We have to get this place back." Grant Hill, a humble gentleman, was shouting at the young players. "If we want to be a strong team, we must make anyone who dares to provoke us pay the price."

"Howard shouldn't have shown his ugly fangs at us." Hamilton also stated firmly.

The old guys set the tone, and the angry young people naturally had to rush forward.

Maikelbang quickly made personnel changes. Fan Xi returned to the court, and Grant Hill, Leonard, Griffin, and DeAndre Jordan played together.

This was aimed at revenge.

Although the Clippers hadn't been rebuilt for long, they had invisibly condensed into a very vigorous team soul. There were many teams in the league whose players were just work partners.

But in the Clippers, the old players here helped the young players without reservation, and the young players also respected the old guys very much. Everyone's feelings were like family.

Wallace was humiliated by Howard like this, and everyone felt faceless.

At this moment, all members of the Clippers were holding their breath.

Including Maikelbang.

Although Maikelbang sometimes seemed to have no opinion, he was actually a very experienced coach. He knew very well that this was a perfect opportunity.

Any team that wants to become a top-tier strong team must have its own team culture and must have a spirit of sticking together.

Maikelbang observed for a long time and realized that the Clippers' team culture had already had an initial prototype. That is: protect shortcomings, report every grievance.

Although those media in Los Angeles who were close to the Lakers maliciously mocked the Clippers as the "Los Angeles Bad Boy Legion," intending to make the Clippers bear a bad reputation.

However, what's wrong with being a bad boy? Being able to condense into a legion, isn't it better than the Lakers' internal turmoil?

Therefore, he resolutely subbed in the team's best dunker.

Beep!

The whistle sounded.

Butler passed the ball to Fan Xi.

Fan Xi made a quick feint, fooled Duhon, and took advantage of the situation to kill into the paint. Redick tried to block Fan Xi's pace at the free-throw line, but was directly ankle-murdered by Fan Xi's change of direction.

Fan Xi instantly entered the paint and jumped up suddenly. He exploded all his talent completely. Jordan's jumping, Jordan's coordination, Kemp's explosive power, Iverson's speed... Fan Xi, holding the ball with one hand and pulling out a reverse bow in mid-air, was like a bullet shot from a gun barrel, sharp and unstoppable.

Dwight Howard took a look, took a half-step to the side, and obediently admitted defeat... Boom!

The bullet hit the Magic's rim and exploded.

The Magic fans, who had been excited about Howard's violent block of the "Rasheed Wallace," all had stiff expressions.

After the violent dunk, Fan Xi landed gracefully. He stretched out his index finger and placed it lightly on his lips. His eyes stared fixedly at Howard: "The game has begun."

Howard was slightly flustered.

"Jack has targeted Howard. Howard must regret why he did so many provocative celebration actions against Rasheed Wallace." Kenny Smith said excitedly: "I dare to guarantee that something big will happen next! I know Jack's character too well. He is simply a tyrant on the court. Not only will those who offend him be taught a lesson, but those who offend his teammates will not be able to escape either."

"Under his leadership, the Clippers are very much like a family gang in The Godfather. The plot now is that Howard shot and killed their family members."

Kenny Smith commented excitedly.

However, Charles Barkley always believed that Kenny Smith was mythologizing Jack Fan. He had always said that half of Jack Fan's Miracle Child title came from Kenny Smith's hype.

He felt that things would not develop as Kenny said. Howard's inside dominance was not something Jack Fan could challenge on his own.

Bang!

Redick shot and clanked under Leonard's defense, and DeAndre Jordan grabbed the rebound.

He passed the ball to Fan Xi, and Fan Xi launched an offensive.

He held the ball to the frontcourt, and Griffin quickly stepped up. He set a screen for Fan Xi, and Fan Xi immediately cut to the paint. At the same time, Griffin also rushed to the paint from the other side, which made Howard, who was guarding the paint, fall into defensive entanglement.

In a flash, Fan Xi jumped up. His jump was full of momentum, and he was aiming for the rim.

Howard hurriedly stood in the right position, but just when Fan Xi rose to the highest point, he suddenly made a flicking action toward Griffin's side, and Howard's attention was attracted.

But the ball was not handed to Griffin.

Howard was stunned for a moment. He subconsciously turned his head and turned around. DeAndre Jordan, who had been staying behind him, rose from the ground and pounced on him fiercely... He hurriedly stretched his arms, wanting to jump, but it was too late... Boom!

A violent dunk happened over his head.

DeAndre Jordan hung on the rim, opened his legs, and swung hard. Howard lowered his head and retreated half a step before he landed.

After landing, DeAndre Jordan grabbed his crotch and twisted it disdainfully at Howard.

Then he turned around and shouted to Wallace: "Rasheed, this-is-for-you!"

The Rasheed Wallace raised his eyebrows, and he felt very cool.

He felt a long-lost feeling return to his spiritual world. He returned to the Pistons of the civilian five tigers back then. At that time, all Pistons players also watched and helped each other like this, and if one person was humiliated, the whole team would get the place back.

Now, the team also has this tough atmosphere. Moreover, this Clippers team is much more talented than the Pistons back then, and there is a real leader: Jack Fan.

"Chauncey, do you know? I feel like we can win the championship this season! I feel like I'm living in 2004." Rasheed Wallace turned his head and said excitedly to Billups.

Billups was the Finals MVP of that Pistons team, so of course he knew what Rasheed Wallace meant.

He also felt it.

But he felt that something was still missing.

The paint was dunked continuously.

The cheers of the Magic home court became more intense. They hoped that the team could quickly get the place back. No one wanted to be pressed against the wall and slapped repeatedly.

Stan Van Gundy also shouted loudly, asking the players to cheer up and play some tactics.

However, bang!

Clanked again.

Türkoğlu's breakthrough was restricted by Grant Hill. He was driven to the baseline. In a hurry, he passed the ball to Howard. Howard turned and hooked, but was double-teamed by Griffin and DeAndre Jordan at the same time. The shot missed, Fan Xi grabbed the rebound and launched a thunderous fast break.

Fan Xi cut into the frontcourt like lightning, then threw the ball high, and Leonard soared into the sky... Boom!

Another violent dunk.

After Howard blocked Rasheed Wallace, the Clippers bombed the Magic's rim three times in a row.

Interpreting "revenge" to the extreme.

"I think this is called an answer-ball." Kenny Smith said excitedly on TV.

The fans in front of the TV were equally excited. Fans love to see this kind of fierce counterattack that hits flesh with fists and outputs on the face.

However, a mansion in Miami was terrifyingly quiet. LeBron James, Dwyane Wade, and Haslem sat together.

They were closely watching the game between the Clippers and the Magic.

Although before the game started, they predicted that the Clippers would easily defeat the Magic, and at the same time, Fan Xi would perform in the paint, and Howard, who was isolated and had a rift with the team, could not stop him.

However, the development of the game to this point still exceeded their original estimates.

"Jack Fan has become more aggressive. Although his overall strength has not had a qualitative leap, his game experience and his leadership style are becoming more and more excellent." Dwyane Wade replied pointedly: "It's hard to believe that he only used less than half a season to unite everyone on the team. Whether it is veterans or newcomers, they are harmoniously united in an atmosphere with him as the core and his will as the guiding principle."

Flash Wade and Little Emperor James, both of whom were once team leaders and were defined as the chosen ones of the team core as soon as they debuted.

Their rise was more logical and faster than most people.

But now, they have to be surprised by Fan Xi's current position.

This is something they couldn't imagine.

"Stephen Nash, Grant Hill, Vince Carter helped him settle the locker room, and Maikelbang helped him settle his tactical status. In this case, what he did is not too exaggerated." Haslem said from the side.

He didn't want the two chosen ones to think that Fan Xi was too much stronger than them in this regard.

Haslem was the locker room leader of the Heat, and his words always made people feel strength.

"They won't be our opponents. They can defeat the Magic because the Magic are rotten enough. And we will defeat them in all dimensions of talent, experience, and unity." James played a decisive role at this time.

He was very confident.

He saw the surging team culture of the Clippers, but also clearly saw what aspects the Clippers were still lacking. James was achieving the best season of his career, and he believed that he and the Heat would be unstoppable this season.

In fact, as of now, the Heat had not lost a single home game this season. They only lost to the Boston Celtics once on the road, and that time was because LeBron James had a stomachache and rested for one game.

Many people believed that the Heat would likely break the epic record set by the Chicago Bulls back then: 72:10 this season.

LeBron James was also working hard in this direction.

Of course, compared to achieving this big goal, the more certain goal now was to cut Fan Xi and the Clippers off the horse, and he couldn't wait to show all his energy.

Pop!

James turned off the TV.

He said: "There's no point in watching anymore. Howard will be teased to the point of collapse, and Jack Fan will definitely find an opportunity to dunk on his head."

The NBA player who knows Fan Xi best in this world, perhaps besides Kobe, is James and Wade.

The setbacks that the chosen one James had suffered in his career added up to not as tragic as that Finals. He was broken by Fan Xi, stabbed to death on the spot. In the past offseason, his reputation was not good, and he suffered unprecedented questioning.

Fortunately, he took all the questioning as nourishment to motivate his own growth. He trained regardless of everything and finally got rewarded in the new season. His reputation was improving rapidly.

He was now waiting for a battle with Fan Xi to cut off his inner demons.

Wade was the same. Wade had already been shadowed by Fan Xi's buzzer-beater. He was buzzer-beated by Fan Xi twice in the Finals, plus that one by James, and they achieved Fan Xi's title of King of Buzzer-Beaters.

"Pray for Dwight."

Wade muttered.

Then, he thought in his heart: If Dwight Howard joins the Heat, are we invincible, and no one can be compared with us?

I really hope Howard is cleaned up by Jack Fan more tragically this time.

Only when he feels real pain can he make crazy moves.

Flash Wade thought more.

If Howard hated Fan Xi like they did, then he would definitely think about revenge.

Speaking of revenge, is there any place more suitable than Miami?

Therefore, Wade had such a feeling in his heart.

At this moment, Dwight Howard still knew nothing.

He did not yet have a clear plan for his future destiny.

He only vaguely felt that he and the Clippers were drifting further and further apart.

But Fan Xi was already rushing toward him.
