Chapter 254: Terrifying calculation, Fan Xi is truly a god-man
117:115.
In the end, the Clippers defeated the Heat by 2 points.
Because Wade hit an ultra-long-distance buzzer-beater three-pointer at the end of the game, this shot made the American Airlines Center erupt in final cheers.
But after the cheers, there was endless desolation.
Wade won respect; he fought until the last moment.
But he didn't guard his house.
Fan Xi took his Clippers to show off and take a victory here. This was completely different from the pre-game rhetoric; all of Miami was expecting a shocking slaughter.
Now, what was placed before them was the corpse of Miami stabbed to death by Fan Xi.
Fan Xi scored 36 points, 15 assists, 11 rebounds, 2 steals, and 2 blocks in this game, a super triple-double data. Moreover, Fan Xi truly crossed the threshold of a superstar in this game. He hit ultra-high-difficulty jump shots in critical moments, crushing Miami's defense single-handedly, turning the tide, and establishing an advantage in crisis.
This was the reason for the Miami Heat's collapse.
It was definitely not the nonsense McBlin was muttering about: "Although Miami lost by 2 points, I think they lost with honor; Wade fought until the last moment. I am proud of him."
These things could only make Miami supporters feel better, and of course, McBlin himself would feel better.
After all, the "fact" placed before them now was that the Heat only lost by 2 points, and LeBron James was injured and left during the game. If it weren't for this accident, could the Big Three lose to the Los Angeles Clippers?
Of course they could!
The Los Angeles Clippers celebrated wildly on Miami's home court. Leonard and the others rushed up, poured a bucket of Gatorade on Fan Xi, and threw Fan Xi up. They celebrated selflessly, not caring about the home fans around them at all.
Of course, these home fans were in no mood to compete with the wildly celebrating Clippers players. They lowered their heads as if they had been hit by a few heavy blows, leaving this arena that made them sad with disappointment and frustration.
"Jack, in this game, you have been launching mental offensives against a few ordinary fans. We just interviewed them, and they said they were greatly hurt; they were very sad and frustrated..."
When Fan Xi was put down by his excited teammates, reporters immediately came to interview Fan Xi, but the first question they threw out wasn't very friendly.
Fan Xi interrupted them: "If they feel they were hurt, they can call the police. Miami police are very professional; they can always provide comprehensive care and help."
Fan Xi was sarcastically sharp.
Everyone knew he had a very unpleasant time with the Miami police yesterday.
"Jack, you won by two points tonight. Do you think this has anything to do with LeBron James leaving early?" The reporter continued to ask.
This reporter's bias was too strong.
Fan Xi grinned, his mouth full of blood color. Clearly a kind smile, it now became "nuclear-kind." "I'm sorry, if LeBron James hadn't left, we might have won by 20 points, not 2 points."
Fan Xi said contrary to convention, still full of sarcasm.
This made the reporter with a preset position go crazy. He started arguing loudly: "LeBron is the league's number one superstar. If he hadn't been injured, if he hadn't had a concussion, do you think you could have won? Just a Wade made you extremely passive at the last moment..."
"Did you watch the game?"
Fan Xi ridiculed sharply, saying: "When LeBron left the court, we were leading by 12 points and had been suppressing them the whole time. He left, and we felt it was meaningless, letting Wade hit a few irrelevant shots. That's the scene you saw where we only won by 2 points."
"You... you... you..." This reporter was trembling with anger; he had no journalistic cultivation at all.
"Young man, arrogant and domineering, aren't you afraid that Miami will exert collective effort in the next game and slaughter you?"
Fan Xi laughed: "Then what are they waiting for? If they had this ability, do you think they would have left with their heads down tonight?"
Fan Xi pushed the mockery to the extreme.
He completely tore apart Miami's false prosperity.
From the moment Fan Xi came out of the police station, he didn't intend to be hypocritical with the Miami Heat, and the hatred between the two teams was already deep-rooted; why maintain a superficial harmony?
Tearing off the mask was better.
So, Fan Xi played it so thoroughly.
He had planned it this way since James left the court; otherwise, how could the score have narrowed instead of widened?
He guessed Miami's possible actions and possible propaganda. Then, he followed the trend, and then he tore off the mask.
This operation by Fan Xi would undoubtedly blow things up and make many people unable to step down.
When Fan Xi left the camera with a bloody smile, that reporter stood there as if his soul had been executed.
All along, Fan Xi had only been fierce on the court, and he seemed quite gentle off the court. But who could have thought he would suddenly bare his fangs at this moment? His "provocation" was undoubtedly putting many people on a rack to roast.
LeBron James was the first to bear the brunt.
When he saw the live broadcast of Fan Xi's interview on the TV in the hospital, his entire scalp went numb... he realized: he was about to fall into a public opinion storm again.
Before the game, he had thought about pushing Fan Xi into the abyss of public opinion and pulling him down from half a god's altar. Moreover, combined with the Miami police surrounding him and Scarlett, Fan Xi would suffer a major blow, whether in terms of the court or commercial value.
But now, Fan Xi won the game and countered with such precision and ruthlessness.
*It's over, I've become a substitute. *
*My Emperor has become Huang Silang. *
James was extremely anxious.
His mild concussion was even more concussed.
Fan Xi's post-game interview quickly spread through the Internet. Fan Xi's unconventional arrogance and wildness, combined with his unique, highly sarcastic language style, instantly ignited public opinion.
What the reporter didn't expect was that on the Internet, basically everyone stood on Fan Xi's side: as long as they weren't a die-hard Heat fan.
No one thought Fan Xi was aggressive.
Many people felt that what Fan Xi said was the truth.
What qualifications did those targeted by Fan Xi have to complain? They were clearly the ones who attacked Fan Xi first, surrounding him and trying to cause trouble for him. It was they who provoked Fan Xi; Fan Xi's retaliation was just right.
"This is part of the legendary story, just like a Hollywood movie, there are always some small-time punks trying to provoke a superhero. When the superhero flips them to the ground, they say: 'Oh! Damn it, he's too strong; we were just joking.' F*** your joke!"
This was a highlighted comment on the American Internet.
It basically represented the views of the vast majority of netizens on this matter.
"The reason Miami only lost by two points is that the Clippers showed mercy. Before LeBron left the court, they were in a scoring drought, and Jack completely dominated him. Don't talk about being injured; Jack was also injured, even injured before him. The scene of Jack with a mouth full of blood is the toughest shot of the year in my mind!"
Similarly, regarding another matter, netizens also stood one-sidedly on Fan Xi's side.
Many media even specifically edited the game videos before and after James's injury to verify that what Fan Xi said was true and that what Fan Xi said was correct.
Such a comparison was undoubtedly a second whipping of the Heat's corpse. When the Heat were fully staffed, they were sniper-trained by Fan Xi and had no power to fight back. After James left the court, the Clippers' defense relaxed, and Fan Xi also changed his playing style... it was nothing more than letting water go.
It could be said that Fan Xi's operation at the last moment reached the height of Sun Tzu's Art of War.
Do you think the Clippers aren't good at slaughtering?
The Clippers were the murderer who created the most tragedies this season.
However, doing the opposite at this time could achieve the best effect.
Of course, this also had to do with the fact that Fan Xi's jump shot now required high-intensity defense to be accurate. Just follow the trend.
Most so-called conspiracies were just pushing the boat with the current.
Who told the Miami Heat to run into the muzzle and forcibly seek death?
Fan Xi's three answers made many Miami media, including the pre-prepared drafts of ESPN, completely unable to be published. They couldn't stir up opposing public opinion because netizens had already sided one-sidedly.
After the Miami Heat were miserably defeated by Fan Xi on the court, they were miserably defeated by Fan Xi off the court again.
Win-win, which meant Fan Xi won twice.
After the game, Pat Riley held his forehead in his office and couldn't say a word for a long time.
In this battle, they occupied the right time, the right place, and the right people. No matter how you looked at it, the battered Fan Xi had no way to lead this group of rookies and veterans to defeat the Big Three.
But Fan Xi won. He not only defeated the unbeaten golden body of Miami's home court but also made LeBron James fall into real fear.
Of course, more importantly, Fan Xi officially entered the sequence of superstars by virtue of this game.
Fan Xi finally had ball-handling lethality, and it was lethality in ultra-high-difficulty situations.
"I think Jack Fan is a top-5 level player in the league. This is a consensus that everyone must reach. If you can't accept it, go interview the players who defend him."
This was what Maikelbang said at the post-game press conference.
Maikelbang said it sonorously because he had full confidence.
As for whether Fan Xi was top-5, perhaps it still needed time to verify.
But tonight, Fan Xi was undoubtedly the most formidable person in the league.
Kobe Bryant returned from the gym and learned that Fan Xi had actually won the game in Miami, and he was completely stunned.
When he couldn't wait to open his computer and browse those news stories, he was even more shocked.
He didn't expect Fan Xi, who was known for his intelligence, to say such harsh words in Miami. Based on his understanding of Fan Xi, this was a state of hostility that would not end until death.
Then, he went to watch the game.
When he saw Fan Xi's several consecutive ultra-high-difficulty fadeaway shots, he was dumbfounded.
This feeling was like... looking at himself in a mirror.
"He... he... when did he learn my moves? Why is it so similar? The trembling of the details is so vivid, no, why does he look more elegant than me... more aesthetic..."
Kobe was confused.
He even suspected whether God had copied his ability, optimized it, and then passed it to Fan Xi.
When he saw Maikelbang's statement after the game.
Kobe thought about it in his head, went through the league's top superstars, and he suddenly realized: Maikelbang was right. Jack might really be able to replace Chris Paul.
But why did we trade him!!!!
Thinking of this, Kobe felt infinite resentment. He had gritted teeth hatred for Jean Bas, and the pain in his mind was even more painful than Fan Xi, who was currently getting stitches in Miami.
Fan Xi could at least scream, but Kobe could only hold it in his heart.
In fact, Jean Bas also received this news.
Although she had been avoiding Clippers news during this time, this news was too explosive, and she couldn't avoid it from various media.
Fan Xi single-handedly picked off the Big Three, stepping on the unbeaten golden body of Miami's home court with the pace of an iron hoof conquering the west.
She watched Fan Xi's aggressive counter-kill against Miami, and she watched Fan Xi's game video.
She was very angry.
She thought Fan Xi had no gentlemanly demeanor, as rude and rough as ever. She thought Fan Xi would definitely be taught a lesson by Miami, and when the Heat made a comeback, they would surely uproot the Clippers and destroy them completely.
She was even waiting to see Fan Xi make a fool of himself.
And what she didn't know was that her general manager, Magic Johnson, was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot.
He was too sad. Jean Bas hadn't considered his opinion on trading Fan Xi, but now he had to clean up this damn mess.
The control Fan Xi showed in Miami was already at the top level of the league. Based on Magic's understanding of Fan Xi, he knew Fan Xi was a battle-type maniac, and he began to worry about the Lakers' situation.
The Lakers lost in Miami.
Based on this reasoning, on Christmas night, could the Lakers still hold onto the hegemon of Los Angeles?
Moreover, the most important thing was, with Fan Xi's intelligence and cunning, he could even calculate and counter-kill the propaganda draft after James was injured. If the Lakers lost, what kind of situation would it be?
Magic Johnson, who had dedicated his life to the Lakers, didn't dare to imagine the scene after Christmas.
He was worried and extremely afraid. What he feared was... the Lakers' hegemonic status in California would be gradually eroded by Fan Xi and his Clippers from now on.
This would be the Lakers' greatest failure, and a failure that dug up the foundation.
Sterling, oh Sterling, how are you worthy.
Magic despised the soul of the Clippers' boss in his heart.
In fact, Sterling was also pacing back and forth at this time. The victory from the front made him excited. But at the same time, the opinion put forward by Fan Xi's team gave him a headache.
Fan Xi's team told him that Fan Xi hoped to get a share permit, meaning that Fan Xi would sign a pre-purchase share contract with the Clippers now, and after Fan Xi retired, he could purchase no more than 10% of the shares at the current market value of the Clippers.
Sterling was a miser. He was very good to Fan Xi, even better than the character flaws he had.
However, he wanted shares.
