Chapter 364: The Fan-Circle-ized Jack Fan Club and Kobe

Women have absolute dominance in the gossip field, and they played a decisive factor in the reversal of public opinion.

When Fan Xi's reputation reversed, some absurd things also happened.

"…I knew about this a long time ago, this is not strange at all, I once heard it with my own ears..."

Kim Kardashian, who likes to rub heat the most, can hardly not jump out to split the traffic; Kanye West, who is standing next to him, although embarrassed, also nods, saying he has heard of it.

Then there are many inexplicable people who run out to describe the stories of their romantic encounters with Jack; Fan Xi hasn't even heard their names. There are more such small essays on the Internet; for a time, as long as it is an online female celebrity, not having written a small essay about a night of joy with Fan Xi seems to be of low grade.

Fan Xi has become a hard currency among top female socialites.

Ask the great America, who doesn't want to be dry-fucked into a bedside table?

The interval of the Finals is 3 days.

In these three days, Fan Xi's fame is climbing crazily.

He even became some kind of totem.

If it were a very ancient era, he would even be carved on the stone wall as a god; the figure would likely be a bedside table... the God of the big bedside table, dominating the joy of men and women in the world.

Shaquille O'Neal was bored after retiring; he liked to give people nicknames when he was still playing, and now such things are naturally indispensable to him. He said boringly on the Internet: Jack is the 'bedside table destroyer'. He must like this nickname very much.

At the same time, he said he is a mattress destroyer; the mattresses he destroyed are more than the rims he dunked broken.

This sounds like bragging.

However, the credibility is very high; after all, a fat man weighing more than 300 pounds, what is it to crush a few mattresses?

As for Shaquille O'Neal's follow-up bragging about his ability in that regard, it makes people very 'spread hands'. After all, his ex-wife Shaunie cheated on his trainer because she couldn't get satisfied, and also left a famous remark: his thing is like a door suction.

…

The second game of the Finals arrives on June 2nd.

The Miami Heat indicated on the 1st that they were ready for everything.

By contrast, the Clippers are still struggling with the third offensive point problem. Because besides Fan Xi and Nowitzki, everyone else seems to be about the same, and everyone has the possibility of standing alone....

So, even when they arrived at the Meihangzhongxin qiuguan, this problem hadn't been determined; take one step at a time, the boat will naturally go straight when it reaches the bridge.

Before the game started, Kobe Bryant was invited to the ESPN broadcast room; he will be the commentator for this game.

This is something ESPN spent a lot of effort to invite.

Active players like Kobe rarely participate in such special commentary activities, and it is something money can't buy. But Kobe has some commercial cooperation with ESPN; Kobe is already preparing his documentary and sports column, and ESPN will buy it at a great price.

Just like LeBron James announced joining the Heat via live TV in 2010, it was also sold at a great price.

Before the game officially started, Kobe's prediction was: "If the Heat lose this game, their entire series is over. If the Clippers lose this game, they will also be very passive. This game is very, very, very, very critical."

Kobe says with an extremely serious attitude.

His point of view is different from the views of most mainstream basketball experts; experts think the outcome of the second game is irrelevant. Fan Xi and the Clippers have already gained home-court advantage; even if they lose the second away game, there is nothing to regret.

Although Reggie Miller fought with Kobe when he was playing, they maintained a good relationship after retirement, and Miller also helped Kobe when he needed support. Miller asked Kobe: "Why do you have such a judgment?"

"Because currently, the Clippers' strength is lower than the Heat's. And, their ceiling is also lower than the Heat's. After all, the Heat have three superstars in their prime," Kobe says steadily.

"Then why do you say that if the Clippers take the second game, they will win the Grand Champion?" Mike Breen, who was on the side, asked very puzzled.

"Because the Clippers have Jack," Kobe's answer is very certain.

This is a matter-of-course answer.

The audience in front of the TV has no surprises.

Before the jump ball started, Miller asked Kobe another question: "Do you think if Jack hadn't left the Lakers, would the Lakers have appeared in the Finals? Could the Lakers have defeated Miami?"

Kobe didn't answer directly; he just stretched out two hands and put up seven fingers: "Michael would be nervous because of this."

The answer is self-evident.

Because of Fan Xi's super performance last season, Kobe won 6 Grand Champion rings in his career, the same as his idol Jordan, but he only has 2 Finals MVPs after all. Among them, the first three-peat was won as a second-in-command. So, no one will equate the two people's six Grand Champion rings.

But if Kobe gets seven Grand Champion trophies, or even eight, nine, ten, achieving a four-peat, five-peat, six-peat that Jordan never completed, Jordan will be a bit restless.

After all, Kobe is already the shooting guard closest to him in history.

"Understood," Reggie Miller smiles slightly. "Thinking of this, I regret Jeanie Bas's operation back then; if Jack had stayed with the Lakers, how good it would have been. After all, I am the person who hates Michael Jordan the most in the world."

Miller's words sting the hearts of Lakers fans in front of the TV; how could they not want that?

Kobe, sitting next to him, how could he not want that?

Of course, their conversation also made many female viewers in front of the TV start searching for this period of history; when they discovered that Fan Xi tore his ligaments to win a three-peat for the Lakers in the Finals last season, but was abandoned by the team, and then led a weak team to rise, eliminating the Lakers... a series of stories.

They were moved.

Women are born as animals of nature; how can such wonderful revenge plots not make them crazy?

They might not have such a strong interest in basketball, but they are fascinated by the people playing basketball and the stories behind it.

In their eyes, Fan Xi has become more charming.

He is simply a treasure man, a man among men, the dream of nine hundred million girls in the world. Who doesn't want to be dry-fucked into a bedside table by him?

Why did God create such a man?

There are many sighs of unrequited love in front of the TV.

At the same time, the game has already begun.

The Miami Heat's starting lineup tonight is no different from the last game.

The Clippers made a small adjustment; Grant Hill replaced Leonard.

Because Hill's off-ball ability is better than Leonard's, it is more suitable for the pick-and-roll system built by Fan Xi and Nowitzki.

Xiao Qiaodan defeated Marcus Camby in the jump ball.

Fan Xi brings the ball to the front court, Nowitzki moves quickly to the high post to screen for Fan Xi, and Miami's defense retreats like a frightened bird.

Fan Xi stops suddenly and shoots outside the three-point line.

Without defense, Swish!

Easily hits a three-pointer.

Drawing first blood for the Clippers.

"This is Jack's ability; although he is criticized for not having strong off-the-dribble jump shot ability, his open shots are extremely accurate; if you are slightly careless, you will be pierced in the throat by him outside the three-point line. And if your defense is too far forward, his sharp breakthrough will kill your ankles."

Kobe says: "Now, he is also equipped with the pick-and-roll assist ability to connect with the whole team in the process. This makes him a player who brings his own system in the true sense; such players cannot be defended, you can only interfere with his influence and offset his deterrence."

Kobe is an active player and knows Fan Xi very well. When he sits in the commentary booth, he can always say things different from ordinary commentators. This is probably the original intention of setting up a commentator, to help ordinary fans understand the game content more effectively, intuitively, and comprehensively.

While Kobe is speaking... the Heat launch a thunderous, lightning-fast attack.

James and Wade complete a relay-style assault, with Wade flashing into the paint for a layup.

"This is an unsolvable attack completed by two superstars who cannot be locked down; their talent overrides the system. As long as they have a little opportunity, they can cause damage. This requires the Clippers to put in greater effort on the defensive end; this may be the biggest unfairness of the basketball game, talented players are easier to seize defensive loopholes, or in other words, the sieves God prepared for them are all 'big points'. While ordinary players can only passively wait for opportunities to appear, and do their best to check for leaks and fill gaps."

Kobe says so.

This gives the TV audience a more intuitive understanding of Wade and James's talent.

Turning back, Fan Xi and Nowitzki continue to run the high-post pick-and-roll.

However, just as Nowitzki finishes screening for Fan Xi, and Fan Xi is about to attack... Beep!

The whistle blows.

The head referee blows a foul on Nowitzki for a moving screen.

My God, Nowitzki holds his head; he asks the head referee speechlessly: "Where is the foul?"

The head referee doesn't explain to him.

Fan Xi rushes to pull him away.

Referees are an important factor in leading the game; now, although the 'zero tolerance policy' is not as crazy as it was in the early 2000s, they can still give Nowitzki a T without being held accountable.

ESPN's TV screen replays the whole process in slow motion.

Nowitzki's footsteps did indeed move, but this was because Fan Xi was about to take his first step, and Mario Chalmers turned his head and ran into him, causing his pace to be unstable.

"Usually, this wouldn't be blown."

Kobe says: "But this is the Finals. And it's Miami's home court."

Kobe Bryant, as a superstar and signature figure of the League, knows the officiating scale of some unspoken rules very well.

"This kind of officiating will destroy the rhythm of the game and even affect the players' mindset."

Kobe says: "Nowitzki is a tenacious warrior, but I think this matter will remind him of some bad memories. He will be affected."

"If I were LeBron James and Dwyane Wade, I would crazily attack Nowitzki's defense."

Kobe continues.

Sure enough, the whistle blows.

Dwyane Wade kills into the paint; he deliberately seeks contact with Nowitzki. After a sudden stop and fake, he sticks to Nowitzki and completes an awkward shot, drawing Nowitzki's foul.

Superstars read the game in the same way.

Nowitzki commits 2 fouls in less than 1 minute of the start.

Nowitzki is furious.

Mike Brown has to replace him.

And now Kwame Brown is still on the suspension list, the Clippers' player list is stretched thin, Mike Brown puts Leonard up, using a small forward as a power forward.

"The Clippers' situation is not good."

When Wade is shooting free throws, Kobe says on TV: "The Clippers have fallen into complete passivity from a strategic level; all their shortcomings are exposed, and the Heat are pinching their soft ribs. If they don't take the lead at the tactical level, they will be eaten."

Kobe's words make the TV audience very nervous.

And the subsequent game also proves this point.

Although Fan Xi subsequently brings the ball into the paint and completes a layup.

But turning back, Chris Bosh easily completes a fadeaway jump shot over Leonard.

The Heat also directly enter the half-court set mode.

The Clippers are a bit overwhelmed.

They can only increase the offensive rhythm.

When the game reaches the fifth minute, Steve Nash is put in, Fan Xi moves to the shooting guard position, and they perform a crazy run-and-gun.

It can be said that the Clippers have abandoned the defensive line at the arc to some extent.

They use offense to attack offense.

"Actually wanting to play 'the best offense is defense' in the Finals, Jack is as bold as ever. The Heat are a bit restless; they didn't control the rhythm well, they were passively running."

Kobe says at the end of the first quarter.

He could actually have said this earlier.

But he didn't.

At this time, the Clippers are trailing by 5 points.

But as Steve Nash hits a three-pointer from beyond the arc, Miami's shooting counterattack misses, and turning back, Fan Xi hits another buzzer-beating three-pointer two meters away from the mid-range three-point line.

The Clippers are actually leading by 1 point.

"The Miami Heat didn't seize the opportunity; this is a pity."

Kobe says on TV: "If the Lakers were playing in the Finals, the Clippers would be trailing by at least double digits. They missed a great opportunity. In the second quarter, the Clippers will easily put Nowitzki back on the court; after all, he still has four fouls."

"And, even if they don't put Nowitzki back, they can still use Yao Ming. Don't forget that Yao's screen cannot be pushed, and when he moves to the high post, his shooting cannot be defended."

Kobe says during the quarter break: "The situation in the Finals changes rapidly. If you don't seize the opportunity, you will miss the chance. On this matter, I think there is no player in the League more alert than Jack."

"Last season, why did he create so many victories against the strong, why was he called the Miracle Child? It's because he is really good at winning against the strong? It's not, it's because he is good at seizing opportunities. He once told me that there is no such thing as winning against the strong; all the victories against the strong that appear are because the weak side finds its own strong points at the micro level and finishes off the other's weak points where they are strong."

Kobe is all first-hand information.

Very convincing.

Reggie Miller suddenly realizes on TV.

So that's how the Miracle Child came to be.

"Can't tell that Jack Fan is also a micro-operation master," Mike Breen on the side says sourly.

Kobe adds: "He is a historical-level micro-operation master."

Kobe's praise makes the female viewers in front of the TV sweeter than eating honey: My husband is really great.

Fan Xi's fans have become fan-circle-ized and crazy.

This is a symbol of top traffic.

The second quarter begins quickly.

Just as Kobe Bryant imagined, the Heat lost their way and returned, but the Clippers made a remarkable adjustment; they put in Yao Ming and played a double-center with Xiao Qiaodan.

Xiao Qiaodan is 213cm barefoot, a standard seven-foot center, with a super long wingspan, covering the sky and the sun.

Yao Ming is 226cm barefoot, the current number one height in the League, no need for a long wingspan, still covering the sky and the sun.

When these two are on the court at the same time, James and Wade's threat to the paint is greatly reduced; although their speed advantage will be displayed in defensive counterattacks, but... rebounds will drag down their pace.

Bang!

Chris Bosh misses his first shot.

Fan Xi kills into the basket; under Yao Ming's box-out, he easily holds the rebound. Then he pushes forward slowly.

Arriving at the front court, Xiao Qiaodan sits in the paint.

Yao Ming moves to the high post, he screens for Fan Xi, Fan Xi easily breaks through the defense, he kills into the paint, unobstructed all the way, Marcus Camby is about to help defend, Fan Xi has already made a no-look-pass, Xiao Qiaodan follows to catch the ball and dunks.

Silky!

"This is the significance of a big center. Yao looks like he didn't do anything, he didn't get any data, but he made this attack so easy."

When Kobe is speaking, Yao Ming has already retreated.

The benefit of moving to the high post, besides reducing the confrontation in the paint, is also shortening the running distance.

When Yao Ming is stationed in the paint, Miami's fast break also stops.

Wade shoots a 3-pointer outside the three-point line.

Afterward, the Clippers continue to push the game.

"Now is the strategic stalemate stage, each consuming the other's focus and physical fitness."

Kobe says: "Usually, the second quarter is the stage for rotation players. However, the Clippers' rotation players have problems. The Heat don't dare to change substitutes; they must play the Big Three from beginning to end."

Just as Kobe said.

The second quarter is a strategic stalemate.

Both sides present a balance of power.

The scores are intertwined, spiraling upward alternately.

But just as the second quarter is about to end, Kobe says: "Actually, this is favorable for the Clippers, because their Nowitzki gets a rest. They only use one core to deal with three super giants to halftime..."

Kobe's words just fell, LeBron James suddenly kills into the paint; he takes advantage of the defensive gap and completes a powerful dunk directly.

At this time, Yao's physical fitness has already had problems; his own lateral movement is not fast, especially after returning from injury.

Afterward, Xiao Qiaodan runs outside to serve the ball.

With 18 seconds left, he wants to stabilize the rhythm.

However, there is a mistake in the serve; he sees Fan Xi being tracked by Wade, so he passes to Leonard, who knew that the lurking James would kill from the side; he steals the basketball.

Consuming time, and hitting a 3-pointer at the last moment.

The point spread between the two teams instantly expands to 7 points.

This is the largest point spread in this game.

The Meihangzhongxin qiuguan is full of cheers.

The Clippers complete the last serve of the first half, Fan Xi catches the basketball and throws it out in the back court... Bang!

The basketball hits the rim and doesn't hit.

The scene is full of exclamation; for them, this is a false alarm.

"The Clippers must be careful in the second half; LeBron's performance at the last moment gives Miami the upper hand."

Kobe says.
