Chapter 348
"Jack. Expose your strongest strength."
Kobe stood in front of Fan Xi; his eyes stared at Fan Xi sharply; he had a sense of control that made Fan Xi have nowhere to hide.
Fan Xi looked at Kobe's right hand; he smiled.
But he found Kobe directly patted his arm with his last: "You guessed right; it's injured here. But do you dare to break through from my right?"
Kobe erupted with strong confidence.
He is like a strong man who plays showdown at the poker table.
Now, the last attack, the Lakers lead by 1 point.
Fan Xi hits, wins.
Misses, Lakers win.
Both sides have already bet their last chips.
"If Kobe blocks in front of Jack, our hope of winning is very high. No one knows Jack better than Kobe."
Magic Johnson murmured to himself on the sidelines; he had already stood up.
In fact, the entire Staples Center stood up; everyone was holding their breath, waiting for the final result.
Every second passing is so clear.
Fan Xi faced Kobe; he felt unprecedented pressure; he knew deeply that Kobe was going to swallow himself.
Kobe is a towering mountain standing in front of him.
To dominate the basketball world, one must first step over this king of the old world.
Kobe is so strong, and also so weak. His mental attributes reached the strongest peak in history, and his physical condition is also the worst moment in history.
Fan Xi must cross his defense and kill him.
3:1 and 2:2 are completely different situations.
Bang!
Fan Xi suddenly patted the basketball hard; the basketball changed direction rapidly from his crotch; the power was great and the momentum was fierce.
Kobe adjusted his steps slightly; his center of gravity was always stable.
He knows Fan Xi very well; Fan Xi was watched by him growing up step by step. He originally thought such a duel would come two years later, but now, it has arrived early.
Sss!
Fan Xi suddenly took a step; his explosive power and speed were carried out to the end at this moment, erupting crazily; if it were an ordinary defender, he would have been passed long ago.
However, Kobe still just turned his body sideways.
His defensive coverage was still on Fan Xi.
But at this moment, Fan Xi suddenly stopped; he slammed a one-handed pass toward the left side of Kobe's body; Kobe was stunned; he thought it was a feint; although Nowitzki was on his left, he was sure Fan Xi was by no means a coward who passed the ball at a critical moment.
However.
Bang!
The basketball suddenly hit the ground and went to his left.
Kobe subconsciously moved to the left, trying to chase the ball, but the arc of the basketball was very strange; after it landed, it suddenly spun to the right... Oh no!!!
Kobe shouted in his heart.
At this time, Fan Xi had already galloped from the right side of his body, and at the same time, the basketball also spun over to the right just right.
The moment Fan Xi received the basketball.
The whole audience was surprised.
Kenny Smith shouted: "My God!! It's actually a pass through the man! God's imagination is blooming; who would have thought that Jack would use such a fancy pass through the man to pass Kobe at the last moment."
Fan Xi received the basketball; there was only 1 second left.
But it was enough for him to shoot... when the basketball flew to the highest point, the red light behind the backboard lit up; a rapid electronic buzzer came from the arena... it couldn't wait to end.
However, the final result arrived 1 second later.
Swish!
The basketball fell into the net obediently and smoothly.
The score is fixed.
Clippers lead by 1 point.
The entire Staples boiled instantly; all Clippers fans roared out their frantically rising adrenaline; this is the greatest comeback in Clippers history.
Jack Fan covered 11 points at the last moment; he single-handedly played an 11:0 comeback against the Lakers.
The last ball was also buzzer-beated over Kobe's head.
Miracle!
No, God's miracle!
"Michael Jordan walked over and had to salute Jack."
Kenny Smith screamed on TV.
And when the TV signal spread, countless people in front of the TV hugged their heads and roared; this is simply incredible; Fan Xi killed the game; he did it in an unprecedented way; he did it with extraordinary actions; he killed the Lakers with his own hands in front of Kobe, the superstar who is both offensive and defensive in the league today.
On the other side of the ocean in Asia, the ten-thousand-mile journey did not affect the resonance at this moment; fans were all excited.
The CCTV commentator shouted: This is Fan Xi's era! Fan Xi's era has arrived. He proved the dominance of the yellow race in the sport of basketball; he is the God of Basketball in Asia; no Asian player has ever had such an amazing status in basketball; he did it, the Chinese did it!!
The commentator's roar did not drown out the excitement of the entire land of China.
Fan Xi's 11-point super comeback plus buzzer-beater is for Chinese fans; it rewrote basketball history and accelerated the historical process.
When the Clippers players rushed to Fan Xi crazily, Fan Xi hugged Kobe's neck with his left hand; he told Kobe: "I just broke through from your right side, and you couldn't even open your hands to pull me. If you are injured, you should rest well, instead of learning from young people to do some hot-blooded actions."
"Let's fight again next year."
Fan Xi suggested to Kobe very seriously.
"Don't think you are sure to win, Jack."
Kobe patted Fan Xi's hand away with his left hand; he walked toward the player tunnel.
Failure is bitter, but wanting Kobe to know the difficulties and retreat is absolutely impossible.
Kobe will definitely return to the court in the next game, even though his arm injury is worsening, even though his injury has been exposed.
But so what? Taking half a step back, is that still Kobe Bryant?
Fan Xi respects Kobe very much.
He has the same qualities as Kobe; thinking from his perspective, if Fan Xi were in Kobe's situation, Fan Xi would not rest either.
Fan Xi was quickly thrown up by excited teammates; this buzzer-beater can be called perfect, definitely the greatest battle in Clippers history.
In the sky full of ribbons flying, 20,000 fans at the scene celebrated this great victory with the Clippers.
3:1.
The Clippers got the match point.
Although the process was a bit arduous, this score looks so smooth.
The next fifth game is still held at the Staples Center, but it is the Lakers' home court.
"Congratulations, Jack. You conquered me, a picky basketball fan."
Fan Xi was put down by his teammates; he walked to the technical table, preparing to celebrate with the fans. Denzel Washington, the Hollywood Best Actor sitting on the sidelines, stood up and high-fived Fan Xi; standing next to him was another box office star Leonardo.
"Jack, you are really charming. It's hard to believe that any girl would refuse your love."
Leonardo reached out to high-five Fan Xi; when their hands slapped together, countless cameras lit up with magnesium lights; it was too bright!
This is Hollywood's two major beauty killers. Leonardo's romantic debts are not few, and he is very picky; he has a very famous quirk: he never looks for girlfriends over 25 years old.
Now his hunting direction has deviated from the traditional entertainment industry; he is the prosecutor of the supermodel circle.
"We should cooperate on a movie." Leonardo said to Fan Xi when shaking hands and patting shoulders: "It will definitely win an Oscar, make money, and become popular all over the world, becoming a bible for men."
Leonardo has always had ambition in his career; his dream is to become a true enemy and win an Oscar statuette.
But for many years, he has been accompanying the run.
Therefore, when he chatted with Fan Xi, he couldn't help but expose his tendency.
"There will be a chance."
Fan Xi patted this big handsome guy on the shoulder, and then he jumped onto the technical table and raised his hands high.
More than 20,000 people in the audience shouted in unison at the same time; they were worshipping, shouting in unison: MVP! MVP! MVP!
Like a pilgrimage scene.
Fan Xi is like a god.
"We will enter the Finals, we will win the Grand Championship!"
Fan Xi shouted at the worshipping fans, which caused greater cheers and shouts.
"My God, this is simply a rock star's performance scene. I have never seen any superstar so crazy." Earl Johnson sighed on TV; the vibration sound from his headset made his eardrums drum.
It is conceivable how shocking the scene was when the headset was taken off.
"Jack used this game to lay the last step to ascend to the new king of the City of Angels. Wait for him to defeat the Lakers and win the Grand Championship. His enthronement ceremony is completed; Kobe Bryant, who has fallen from the peak, steps down from the altar, and the new king arrives in his loyal Los Angeles."
Earl Johnson continued.
This is the voice of Los Angeles fans.
No matter whether Lakers fans are willing to admit it or not, this is already a conclusion. Fan Xi becoming the basketball symbol of Los Angeles is only a matter of time.
Los Angeles socialites are all proud of having dealings with Fan Xi; before this, Kobe Bryant was the ace of Los Angeles basketball.
"I don't know what Magic said after the last game ended. But if he really said such things and produced such a coincidence, I want to say... Magic should be more conservative next time, or he should know more about me; 10 points cannot stop a man like me."
Fan Xi told reporters when interviewed: "I am not a player who relies entirely on scoring, but if I need to score, my hands will be more stable than any sight."
When Fan Xi said this, there was a natural air of showing off. Of course, the media will describe it as kingly air.
This is the convenience of a successful person.
"Buzzer-beating over Kobe is of course something worth praising. Although I didn't do what you thought, but if you have to treat this ball as the handover of the scepter of the old and new kings of Los Angeles, I have no opinion."
Fan Xi spread his palms and said calmly.
He doesn't need to be overly humble.
Is there anyone in Los Angeles more suitable to be the master of the City of Angels than him?
Is it those two mercenaries, Chris Paul and Dwight Howard?
Howard, as a top blue-collar worker, will never think of surpassing Fan Xi in his life.
Chris Paul? He is a folk delicacy; when served, it can make people eat heartily and can improve the host's grade on certain occasions. However, he cannot get on the state banquet.
At the critical moment of a real top-level duel, what can he do?
Tonight is an example.
"Kobe is injured; he is fighting with an injury tonight. So, he only got 17 points. I feel sorry for him, and I also feel sorry for myself. This year, we can't defeat the strongest Lakers."
Fan Xi shrugged his shoulders at the end; he didn't hide the fact that Kobe was injured.
After confirming that Kobe was injured, Fan Xi already knew that the Lakers were no longer a championship-level team, just a top-tier strong team.
A top-tier strong team is not worth worrying about.
Fan Xi threw out this news, which made the reporters present very surprised; they asked one after another if this was true.
Fan Xi said, you can ask the Lakers, or Kobe.
Tonight is destined to be Fan Xi's night; Fan Xi's super comeback can be called the greatest Western Conference Finals performance in history; never has any superstar in history, at the critical juncture of the Western Conference Finals, trailing by 10 points in the last 1 minute, KO'd the opponent with his own strength.
Jordan never did it either.
Therefore, sports media all over the world are rushing to broadcast Fan Xi's extraordinary counter-kill this night. To ensure that everyone who cares about sports knows this shocking news the next day.
And on that night, Fan Xi's entry rushed to the top of the Internet list.
This is relying on basketball to break the circle; the last time it was so popular, it had to be traced back to the buzzer-beater against James in last year's Finals.
Very good.
Fan Xi has already buzzer-beated two faces of the league.
The next day, many celebrities in the basketball circle were discussing this matter. They had no way not to come to discuss it.
Kevin Garnett said at an event in New York: "Jack is the only superstar who can take down the Big Three."
This year the Celtics were eliminated by the Bulls, but Garnett's words have already determined that Miami will rush out of the East.
"If Jack Fan can be more stable, he will be the strongest candidate to compete with LeBron James for the number one person in the league. But now, I must say Kevin Durant has a better chance." Paul Pierce, also of the Celtics, is also a person who likes to comment on others; perhaps this is paving the way for him to become a commentator after retirement.
"I like his buzzer-beater, full of creativity. But if it were me, I would use a back-turn feint, and then complete the shot with a fadeaway in the confrontation. Instead of taking risks."
Michael Jordan finally expressed his views to the media at noon the next day. He believes: "Jack still needs to strengthen his ability to shoot against the ball; although he already has energy under the basket. But if he wants to surpass me, he still needs a more stable mid-range. And, don't fear defense."
"His intelligence can make him make creative passes in milliseconds, but intelligence doesn't work every time. And having a stable shot, it won't betray you at any time."
Jordan gave advice to Fan Xi as an elder.
What he said is relatively fair.
Fan Xi accepts it.
If Fan Xi had Jordan's jump shot, he wouldn't play the sound-east-strike-west pass-through-the-man, just turn his back and fadeaway jump shot.
However, who cares.
The winner now is Fan Xi.
Fan Xi took down Kobe, took down the Lakers, took the match point, and is about to advance to the Finals.
