Chapter 330

~13 min read 2,588 words

No one is willing to admit that the fishing net they carefully laid out was cut through like a knife through tangled hemp.

Swish!

When Fan Xi's free throw hit, it was clearly visible.

The Clippers' morale was also boosted along with the cheers of the whole arena.

This was directly reflected on the defensive end.

While Fan Xi followed closely by Westbrook's side, Butler and Leonard also clamped down on them like two big locks; they had no time at all to establish their own isolation mode.

And in this situation, Young Master Wei chose a stop-and-go jump shot... Bang!

Clank.

The rebound was grabbed by DeAndre Jordan.

He immediately passed it to Fan Xi.

Fan Xi grabbed the ball, wasting no time, like an arrow off the string, running wildly toward the frontcourt. Westbrook hurriedly circled around to intercept.

However, the moment Fan Xi was about to collide with Westbrook, Fan Xi suddenly stopped, and performed an unbelievable turn; his left hand was almost supporting him on the floor, and his body made an extremely fast and sharp back-turn using his left foot as the axis... Whoosh!

Flying close to the ground.

When Fan Xi completed this action by Westbrook's side.

Westbrook's pupils were in a state of expansion... he was extremely surprised.

The fans on-site also screamed with excitement one by one... many fans on the sidelines even covered their heads; they couldn't believe it.

This kind of action is usually done by top streetballers to show their flexibility and skill on the street, flashy but impractical. In an official game, it is impossible for a normal human to do this kind of action because the risk factor is too high. Alston, known as the Streetball King, played more "academic" than the academic school when he got to the NBA, because they knew the risks of such actions.

However, Fan Xi actually completed this action at such a high speed, without rehearsal, pure freestyle, more like an intuitive action in a stress state.

"My God!"

Kobe Bryant in front of the TV exclaimed.

At the same time, Fan Xi, having passed Westbrook, had already killed his way into the paint in one go; he was like a sharp bullet, directly piercing the Thunder's restricted area, and the defensive line they formed in a hurry was like rotten mud.

Boom!

When Fan Xi completed the dunk over the restricted area, the whole arena boiled over again, and twenty thousand people stood up together and shouted.

"Incredible, incredible. This is simply a performance by God; Jack, who has solved his emotional problems, is invincible."

Kenny Smith roared on TV.

The on-site commentator also dragged out his voice, shouting Fan Xi's name with force: Super-Fan! Fan!!!!!

The fans in the arena couldn't stop shouting and roaring.

This dunk brought the Clippers' morale tonight to its peak.

The Jazz head coach touched his chin helplessly; this was an unacceptable thing for him.

But he had no choice. When Fan Xi passed Westbrook with a perfect ground-hugging back-turn, he even wanted to "Oh" out loud.

This damn thing is simply not something humans can block.

Clippers head coach Mike Brown was also very excited; he never dreamed that Fan Xi said he would go up and charge, and he actually charged successfully... two possessions, only trailing by 4 points.

Must stay steady.

Mike Brown prayed secretly in his heart, but now it was not good for him to let Fan Xi stop, stabilize the rhythm, and play steadily.

After all, this situation was paved by Fan Xi.

"Jack has evolved again."

Kobe Bryant sighed in his hotel room in Salt Lake City; the replay on TV clearly played the whole process of Fan Xi's back-turn pass just now; no one could defend against this ball.

Chris Paul was also secretly shocked on the side, and he sighed: "Jack Fan's back-turn this time is too amazing; it's hard for me to pull it off, and even if I could, I wouldn't dare to use it in an official game."

"This is him, bold, wanton, growing wildly, unscrupulous." Kobe said: "He is the most heroic player in the entire NBA; if he dares to think it, he dares to do it. Just like a newborn king of the jungle, he looks weak, but if you put a stag in, he will also charge up without hesitation and bite its neck off."

Kobe did not spare his praise.

From his mouth, one can often get information that cannot be obtained in the media.

Kobe knew Fan Xi too well.

Chris Paul had goosebumps on his back; from the day he joined Los Angeles, his goal was to step on Fan Xi and prove his prestige as the number one point guard. However, they played three times in the regular season, and Fan Xi killed him three times in a row; the title of number one point guard was no longer loud.

He now gradually gave up on the highs and lows of personal honor; he knew that because of his major injury in the past, his physical fitness was no longer at its peak. Therefore, he pinned his hopes on the championship.

He only wanted the championship now.

He didn't even care if it was the Finals MVP.

Fan Xi's existence made him see the reality clearly; the road to the championship is full of twists and turns, and the Lakers can only be closely united to reach the top.

Similarly, there is Dwight Howard.

Howard was originally full of complaints in Orlando, thinking he was a super center, not wanting to set screens, not wanting to be a blue-collar worker. He had even said "I have never seen the number one center set screens or grab rebounds for people"; at that time, he was jumping on his feet demanding the right to self-offense.

Now, he was without any complaints, even working hard and doing the dirty work. It is truly a case of "oranges grown in the south are oranges." The effect was comparable to participating in a season of *X-Change*.

However, this also triggered a round of mockery in Orlando; from their head coach Stan Van Gundy to the security guards at the training gym, everyone expressed strong emotional fluctuations by raising their middle fingers at Howard's behavior.

However, Howard didn't mind; he only wanted the championship now.

It must be said that Fan Xi, as a catfish, perfectly set off an era of great unity in the NBA. There is an old Chinese saying: "A country without external enemies will always perish."

The Lakers became a better Lakers because of Fan Xi.

Miami, Chicago, including Oklahoma and San Antonio, were all the same.

"I hope the Thunder can win this game." Howard prayed silently behind him.

It was rare for him to worry so much for another team.

Compared to the Clippers, the Thunder were much cuter; although they also had the three young stars and young talent, young talent wouldn't explode like Fan Xi. Once Fan Xi explodes, the NBA would have to take a holiday early.

The Thunder felt Fan Xi's surging energy.

On the defensive end, Fan Xi led the Clippers like a group of mental patients, hysterically holding them off.

Butler had a cold sneer on his mouth, just like a chainsaw murderer in a Hollywood movie, as if saying: Come on, either kill me, or I'll kill you.

Fan Xi drove everyone to madness.

Bang!

Westbrook missed a layup opportunity again; under the double-team of Fan Xi and DeAndre Jordan, he hit the basketball against the backboard, not even touching the rim. Subsequently, Butler rushed up like a wild dog and took the rebound over Perkins' head.

Gone crazy!

Butler directly retreated for a fast break.

He killed his way to the basket, threw the basketball into the sky, Fan Xi followed closely and flew up, grabbed the basketball without dunking, but continued to throw it up, DeAndre Jordan rushed from behind, grabbed the basketball... Boom!

This group of lunatics turned the game directly into an exhibition game.

Staples Center boiled over!

Everyone jumped up from their seats.

Beep!

Coach Brooks hurriedly requested a timeout; this scene was too scary.

He never dreamed that the Clippers would be crazy to this extent.

Mike Brown held his head; he couldn't believe his eyes. He thought Fan Xi's "charge a wave" was that kind of charge, but he didn't expect it to be this kind of charge; this damn thing was simply charging the opponent back to their hometown.

My God!

Where does Jack Fan need any calmness, where does he need to be gentle? In the face of absolute madness, calmness is meaningless.

Jack and LeBron are not the same type of player. LeBron is madness with a bit of calmness, while Jack is calmness stained with a bit of madness.

Mike Brown rushed up excitedly, and he shouted loudly: My boy, just do it like this! That's right, just take them down like this, fuck it, take them down!

He high-fived every player excitedly.

He acted just like a boxing coach.

This is probably why many people say he doesn't look like a head coach.

However, the Clippers players all liked him very much.

The leader players also liked this kind of coach very much.

As long as a person knows their position, they will be content.

While the Clippers side was boiling and passionate.

The Thunder bench was surrounded by low pressure; the exciting atmosphere of Staples Center had nothing to do with them; they just felt it was noisy.

Brooks kept a straight face, and he said extremely seriously: "Children, now is the most dangerous moment, and we need someone to stand up."

This person is Kevin Durant.

Although Westbrook felt he could do it too.

Coming back from the timeout, Kevin Durant hit a three-pointer.

To a certain extent, it saved the Thunder's decline and continued to maintain the lead.

However, Fan Xi immediately killed his way into the basket; he continued to face the double-team of James Harden and Ibaka; he fearlessly collided with Ibaka in the air, and then he put the basketball into the basket with an underhand layup again, and he caused Ibaka's fourth foul.

Fan Xi walked to the free-throw line.

His eyebrows were flying; he finally understood what it meant to play basketball flying in the sky. He experienced Jordan's joy.

Of course, the muscle jungle Jordan faced back then was not something Ibaka and Harden could construct. Not to mention, Fan Xi just got the stable magic, right?

Swish!

The free throw hit.

Brooks still didn't give up his strategy; he even kept Ibaka on the court.

However, he instructed Ibaka to manage his fouls well.

As long as Ibaka subconsciously tries to manage his fouls, his double-teaming momentum will inevitably be reserved, and once he is reserved, Fan Xi will have more room to operate in the air.

He easily passed the basketball to Nowitzki.

When Nowitzki hit a mid-range jump shot.

"Brooks' move is scrapped."

Kobe Bryant said: "What's fortunate now is that our interior defense is stronger than the Thunder's. But what's pessimistic is that Fan Xi will continue to grow."

"The Western Conference Finals are destined to be a tragic encounter; no one should expect to have it easy."

Kobe said calmly.

Fan Xi's performance brought him too much shock. He originally thought Fan Xi would need at least one or two games to break Brooks' moves, and the Clippers would play to the seventh game, advancing exhausted.

However, Fan Xi didn't even use one game; he just rushed through the air confrontation like this.

One force breaks ten thousand techniques.

Coach Brooks became difficult.

Durant started to exert his power; he hit various high-difficulty shots on the offensive end.

However, the Clippers overtook the score 1 minute and 11 seconds before the end of the third quarter, and then continued to expand the lead.

James Harden had an outstanding performance in the first half of the fourth quarter, but the Clippers kept suppressing him.

And when the game reached the fifth minute of the fourth quarter, James Harden broke into the paint; he was slapped by Kwame Brown, and the basketball was pressed directly onto his face; his nose bridge bled at that time, getting his black beard everywhere, and he kept covering his eyes.

He was sent off the court.

James Harden's departure was a huge blow to the Thunder, and even their confidence in chasing back the score was shaken.

Westbrook tried to charge, but none were successful, and he even had passing turnovers.

The ball returned to Durant's hands, but Durant's touch also declined; Leonard's all-out defense made his physical strength weak.

Kevin Durant's physical strength couldn't support him playing the whole game.

With 1 minute and 19 seconds left in the game, Coach Brooks requested a timeout; he replaced all the main players; at this time, the Thunder were trailing by 15 points.

Brooks very self-reproachfully told his players: "Sorry, children, it was my judgment error. I underestimated Jack Fan, which led to this game being overturned. The next game will definitely not be like this. Tonight, let's have a good rest, return to Oklahoma, and we will take the victory back!"

He encouraged his players.

On the Clippers bench, Fan Xi had already been lifted up by Leonard and others; although the game wasn't over yet, they were already celebrating the victory.

The entire Staples Center was celebrating the victory.

The Clippers took two consecutive home games, and the total score would soon be fixed at 3:1.

If there are no accidents, the probability of the Clippers advancing to the second round will exceed 90%.

After all, not every team is the Orlando Magic led by Tracy McGrady.

"Once the Clippers take down the Thunder and advance to the second round, they will meet a very easy opponent: the Dallas Mavericks. The Mavericks have completed a 2:1 lead; they are playing very tenaciously, and they will soon be 3:1. Memphis didn't play as fiercely as last season this year, and they underestimated Blake Griffin's versatility, and Zach Randolph is also injured..."

Ernie Johnson took advantage of the fact that the game wasn't over yet and started to make a preview for the Western Conference Semifinals.

If the Mavericks really defeat the Grizzlies, then the Western Conference Semifinals will really become very interesting: they completed an interesting trade in the middle of the season, and now the two sides of the trade are standing at the two ends of the semifinals.

It's hard to say this isn't a win-win trade.

At least for Mark Cuban, that's how it is.

He got what he needed, and got what he hadn't expected.

Beep!

The final whistle of the game soon sounded, and the game was over.

Fan Xi quickly walked from the Clippers bench to the center of the court; he found Russell Westbrook: "Hey, Russell. I regret to inform you that your Pivotal Game is gone."

"However, you are my good friend. If you feel sad, I will give you a ticket to the Finals, no, two tickets; you are welcome to come and watch with your girlfriend. You will like it."

Fan Xi is a person who "must report every grievance"; he must return the trash talk Westbrook said to him with interest.

He didn't care how uncomfortable Westbrook was.

Anyway, this is what he deserves.
