Chapter 346

2:1.

The Clippers took the lead in the total score; this is a standard Jack-style victory; Fan Xi turned on the Miracle Child halo at the last moment, kicking the Lakers off the cliff with his own strength.

After the game, Fan Xi praised his teammates on TV; he felt proud of his teammates from the bottom of his heart.

However, the Lakers received more praise; the Lakers showed unprecedented dominance in the second half; they narrowed the 25-point difference to a maximum of only 2 points; if it weren't for Fan Xi's madness at the last moment, the Lakers would have achieved the first comeback in the history of the Western Conference Finals.

Therefore, more and more basketball experts believe that the Lakers will win this series.

As long as they can play the dominance of this game.

However, Fan Xi was very calm after the game ended.

He knew that Kobe was injured.

Kobe's free throws at the last moment, and that airball fully proved that his body was troubled by injuries, and his shooting was not stable.

No one on the court knows Kobe better than Fan Xi.

"Chris, you need to take on more offensive tasks in the next game; your shooting must be more decisive; I will help you contain the defense on the wing."

In the Lakers' locker room, Kobe covered his right hand; his body was full of cold sweat caused by pain.

Kobe thought his wrist was dislocated, but when he pulled it, he found it wasn't. It is very likely a fracture or crack in the hand bone.

His hand has swollen up.

However, Paul didn't understand the meaning of Kobe's words.

He looked at Kobe; he thought Kobe was going to teach him a lesson again.

Therefore, his eyes were full of vigilance.

Kobe stood up, took Paul to the corner, and lowered his voice: "I'm injured; don't tell any teammates. This will affect their morale."

Paul was shocked; he saw Kobe's swollen right hand.

He suddenly panicked.

Paul had to admit that Kobe is the backbone of the team, the anchor of the team; if he is seriously injured. Then... defeat the Clippers? Is there hope?

"Are you sure you can play in the next game?" Paul asked Kobe.

Kobe said: "Of course, I will wear an arm guard."

"Now, you need to become a true leader. Just like Jack Fan in last year's Finals; this is your challenge and your opportunity. You have to prove that you are stronger than him!"

Kobe stared at Paul with bright eyes; he was encouraging Paul: "Can you do it?"

"Of course I can!" Chris Paul straightened his chest.

Kobe patted his shoulder and then turned back to the locker room.

He went to take a shower as usual, then picked up his bag and left the locker room. Then, he got into Magic Johnson's car, and they went to the hospital together for an examination.

It was a hand bone crack, fortunately not a fracture.

The moment Bryant was knocked down by Butler, his right forearm bore the full weight; he didn't have time to unload the force, which led to the injury.

This is not an injury that affects his career.

However, the doctor told him: "You cannot engage in strenuous exercise."

This doctor is a Lakers fan; he said to Kobe pessimistically: "You need complete rest for more than a week."

Kobe nodded with a smile.

But he had actually made a decision in his heart; he couldn't stand by and watch.

This series is particularly important to him and the Lakers. The Buss family rushed to the hospital; they had already united their front, because this concerns everyone's interests.

Jimbas and Jean Bas no longer fought internally; the Clippers' momentum was too surging; if they couldn't take down the Clippers in the Western Conference Finals this year, the Lakers' market position in the City of Angels would gradually be surpassed by the Clippers in the future.

This is a real loss of interest.

Therefore, when Kobe proposed to play with an injury, they all fell silent; no one opposed it.

Jimbas even said: We can accept losing to the Miami Heat, but we cannot accept losing to the Los Angeles Clippers.

This is the voice of the entire Buss family.

Kobe looked at the calm bosses; he couldn't help but feel a sense of desolation in his heart; although he had never thought about resting, the fact that no one stood up to persuade him to rest still made him feel a bit cold.

In the end, it's just interest.

Hoo!

Kobe gave a wry smile and said he would fight to the end.

Jean patted his shoulder and said the Lakers would remember his comeback, saying the Lakers would always stand behind him....

The night after the third game of the Western Conference Finals ended, the third game of the Eastern Conference Finals started as scheduled. Because he accepted Fan Xi's suggestion, the Chicago Bulls' tactic of besieging Wei to save Zhao was successful; Rose's damage to the interior made the Heat dare not send James to mark Rose again.

And the Bulls also seized the opportunity to fight with the Heat.

But in the end.

Dwyane Wade, the Windy City boy born in Illinois, forcibly stole the ball from the Windy City Rose; this ball had a great suspicion of a foul. But the head referee didn't blow the whistle at the time; Wade ran wildly to the front court with the ball, completed a comeback with a 3-pointer, and defended Korver's three-point jump shot at the end.

Wade's offense and defense at the last moment can be called historical level; before meeting Fan Xi, Wade had always been one of the best clutch players in the league.

But unfortunately, every time he meets Fan Xi at a critical moment, he becomes a background board.

Wade was proud tonight; he jumped onto the technical table of the United Center; he shouted: thisismyhouse.

This is his territory.

Actually, it's not wrong; he is a Chicagoan.

However, more than 20,000 fans at the scene were frantically booing.

Obviously, no one admits that this is his territory.

Eastern Conference Finals, Miami took a 2:1 lead.

The Chicago Bulls are still a little bit weaker; although Rose played very strongly, he is the Lu Bu in the Three Heroes Fighting Lu Bu; he rushed and bumped, suppressing the light of the Big Three; in the whole game, he had 39 points, 11 assists, 8 rebounds, 3 steals, and 1 block.

To some extent, he and Fan Xi are already the peerless twins of the point guard position in the East and West.

Their stats in the third game were comparable.

The difference is that Fan Xi won the victory; he lost the game when he had an advantage.

Fan Xi always wins.

Although there are always people chasing behind him to criticize him.

Before the fourth game started, media photographed Fan Xi and Selena shopping in a luxury store. Moreover, the omnipotent paparazzi also got the information that Selena bought a Patek Philippe watch for Fan Xi.

Suddenly, gossip fans sighed one after another: What kind of ability does Jack Fan have to be able to eat soft rice to this extent?

What exactly do these Hollywood female stars obsess over this Chinese boy?

Is he handsome? Indeed very handsome; even in Hollywood, he is a top-tier handsome guy.

Is he very rich? Indeed very rich now, but when the scandal first spread, he was just an ordinary NBA player. His salary was only the median of the NBA.

Is he very strong? Well, compared to ordinary people, he is definitely strong.

However, with these conditions, he is not the only one in the world who can satisfy them. Why are so many Hollywood goddesses devoted to him, spreading various scandals with him, paying to buy him a team, and now buying him luxury goods?

Suddenly, there was a lot of discussion on the Internet; everyone wanted to learn some "three sentences to make a woman spend a million on me" techniques from Fan Xi... According to the luxury store staff, Fan Xi only said three sentences at the time: Fine, it's okay, as long as you are happy.

Accepting the other party's gift is already the greatest gift to the other party.

What kind of soft rice can be eaten to this extent?

Many male lick-dogs in front of the screen cried with tears, and left messages one after another: You really deserve to die.

The fourth game on Friday arrived as scheduled.

As soon as this game started, the Lakers showed an aggressive offensive. Chris Paul hit consecutive mid-range jump shots.

The Clippers' touch opened relatively slowly, still relying on Fan Xi killing into the basket to create damage.

In the second half of the first quarter, Nowitzki found his touch.

But at this time, the Lakers' defense had entered a rhythm of harmony and freedom.

Both sides maintained a balance and pushed forward.

After the first quarter, the Lakers led by 6 points.

After the half, the Lakers led by 7 points.

After the third quarter, the Lakers led by 3 points.

Soon it entered the fourth quarter.

The Clippers once tied the point difference, relying on Nowitzki and Fan Xi's strong attack, as well as Leonard's output.

And at a critical juncture.

Kobe Bryant, wearing black gloves, was finally exposed; he hit two three-pointers in the left and right bottom corners, helping the Lakers establish an advantage.

But at the same time, Fan Xi completely determined that Kobe Bryant, who had low offensive desire tonight, was injured.

Because Kobe completed two attacks with his left hand.

Fan Xi then arranged for Leonard to defend Paul, and he stared at Kobe.

Leonard's defense is undoubtedly stronger than Fan Xi's.

Fan Xi stared at Kobe; Kobe had nowhere to hide; he didn't expect Fan Xi to see through his injury so quickly.

Leonard's entanglement tonight made him sweat; in the confrontation, his right hand became more and more unable to exert force, and his shooting was deformed.

If it weren't for the Lakers not being able to open the situation, he would never try to shoot with his left hand.

But fortunately, in this game, the Lakers should be able to win.

Kobe thought so.

The Lakers have always maintained a lead.

When the Clippers requested a timeout with 1 minute left in the game, the Lakers just happened to lead by 10 points, 85:75.

In the last game, Magic Johnson said in front of the media that to stop Fan Xi from showing off at a critical moment, the best way is to lead them by 10 points 1 minute before the end of the game.

Now, it has come true.

TNT commentator Kenny Smith shouted on TV: "Magic Johnson should be very nervous now, right? If Jack Fan really kills the Lakers at the last moment, will he slap himself twice and regret saying such things in the last game?"

When Kenny said this, the camera happened to be on Magic behind the Lakers bench.

Magic looked calm.

He looked very calm.

But his heart was churning; he was thinking: Don't let them turn the tables. If this is turned over, the Lakers will be behind 1:3, and there will really be no chance.

"Jack is not a god. The rhythm of the game tonight is so slow, both sides are betting on defense, Jack has no chance to complete a 10-point comeback in 1 minute."

Earl Johnson said confidently; he was very arbitrary: "As long as the Lakers consume one offense, or hit one shot, they are sure to win!!"

Yes, theoretically, that's how it is.

Leading by 10 points with 1 minute left. Many teams will even give up the game at this time and announce that garbage time has arrived.

That is, in the playoffs, both sides will fight for a wave.

However, the leading side can completely maintain the victory by pressing the tempo and dragging the time.

"Chris."

On the bench, Kobe raised his head; he suddenly patted Paul's knee next to him hard; this was a heavy pressure; he said to Paul: "Win this game tonight, and we can win this series. You have to control the rhythm well; this is what you are best at."

"Believe in yourself; you are the number one point guard; no one can stop you."

Kobe encouraged Paul.

He really had completely handed the game over to Paul.

Because he found that his right hand was so swollen that even dribbling was a bit sluggish; his ball feel was no longer clear.

The Lakers need Paul.

He placed great expectations on Paul.

He believes Paul can do it.

However, he was worried about Fan Xi.

Fan Xi is a player who can always create miracles; last season when Kobe, Gasol, and Bynum were injured one after another, everyone thought the Lakers lost hope in front of the Big Three. But in the end, Fan Xi buzzer-beated the Heat; he completed a fatal blow in front of James.

Paul nodded hard; his expression was firm.

Tonight is his representative work in the playoffs; he has already scored 32 points, 11 assists, 9 rebounds, and 3 steals tonight, one step away from a triple-double.

If he wins again, Paul will treat it as the best game of his career.

Because he really played very well.

"I need a screen; I want to complete a three-point shot quickly. This will determine our comeback."

Fan Xi told his teammates and coaching staff firmly on the bench.

Previously, Mike Brown had suggested letting Nowitzki or Stephen Nash execute this shot, because their three-point shooting percentage is higher.

But Fan Xi refused with his eyes.

He didn't want to let others do it. Moreover, he had sufficient confidence in himself.

His blood was already boiling, and his heart rate was getting faster and faster.

Fan Xi is like this; he is a fanatical player; the more critical the moment, the crazier he gets.

But his thinking became calmer and calmer.

He clearly put forward his views: he wants to attack a 3-pointer first, then double-team Paul, force Paul to pass the ball to Kobe, then steal the basketball from Kobe's hands, and then shoot 1 3-pointer....

Fan Xi has a clear plan; the 10-point difference is like the answer to an equation in his eyes; his final answer is 11 points.

Fan Xi's idea was fully recognized.

The head coach couldn't think of more detailed steps; although he knew that the court plan is not as good as the changes, but at a critical moment, giving the ball to the absolute core is the rule.

The rule is to let the superstar solve the battle.

Otherwise, why call it a superstar?

Pippen was never considered a superstar in his life, isn't it because at a critical moment, Phil Jackson would rather give the basketball to Kukoc than to him.

Beep!

The whistle blew, and the game continued.

The final countdown.
