Chapter 376

The Clippers got the match point at 3:0, only one win away from a sweep.

Nowitzki broke the historical record, with 26 points in a single quarter of the Finals, unprecedented.

Nowitzki is injured, the situation is unknown, and the Finals situation has twists and turns again.

Fan Xi frankly said he had no intention to celebrate; Nowitzki's injury has become the Achilles' heel of the Los Angeles Clippers.

That night, these news pieces flew all over the basketball world like they had wings.

The NBA Finals is undoubtedly the top hall of professional basketball; it represents the top level of global basketball; anyone who cares about basketball will pay attention to its results. What's more, because of the previous recording gate incident, those who care about the results are not just real fans, but also bedside table fans.

Nowitzki's injury report came out in the second half of the night; it was a grade 2 ligament tear; although it hadn't reached the degree of rupture, but... he definitely won't be back this season, even if the Finals go to the seventh game.

And before the Clippers announced Nowitzki's injury report, the excited basketball experts had already started to estimate that the Finals had entered a turning point, and Miami ushered in a real dawn after losing three games.

For the Heat, there are two pieces of good news; Haslem, who was previously suspended, will return to the lineup, and his return will change the embarrassment of Chris Bosh at the 4-spot.

The biggest good news is Nowitzki's injury.

Nowitzki can't play, the Clippers' existing system is completely scrapped, and they have to return to the pattern before Christmas.

Was the Clippers scary at that time?

Not at all.

"As long as the Miami Heat maintain their current level, and Nowitzki is confirmed to be out for the season, they won't have too many twists and turns in winning the Finals."

American basketball experts are very optimistic about the Heat's upcoming Finals situation.

They have a set of theories to support it.

And can list a series of data.

Wade said at the post-game press conference last night that they would not retreat any further.

When Fan Xi woke up on the morning of the second day after the game, he received a call from Lu Yuan; Lu Yuan told him that a sponsor had already communicated with him, and it didn't matter even if they didn't win the championship.

His original intention was to appease Fan Xi and let Fan Xi not have so much pressure.

However, it was counterproductive, and Fan Xi scolded him.

When Fan Xi turned on the TV, he found that the entire public opinion had turned around. Nowitzki's injury report was released at 8:00 am; after Nowitzki was confirmed to be out for the season, the media in the United States couldn't wait to start making a final conclusion... even if the Clippers only need one victory to lock in the championship, most media still think the Miami Big Three are easier to get four victories.

Simply absurd.

Fan Xi quickly received a call from Kwame Brown; this center who was suspended for two games was very angry and said to Fan Xi: "Jack, I will take on the void after Dirk's injury; our paint is still an insurmountable peak for them."

Kwame Brown only played for 3 minutes in the last game, and his playing time was less than Yao Ming's.

However, in the next game, he will definitely take on more important responsibilities.

Although Fan Xi doesn't hold hope for Kwame Brown to take on Nowitzki's function, Kwame Brown will definitely shoulder more important responsibilities in the next game.

"Practice your free throws well in these two days." Fan Xi instructed Kwame Brown.

Kwame Brown believed in Fan Xi's words very much; after hanging up the phone, he drilled into the court.

Before this season, Kwame Brown had always been a laughingstock in the basketball circle. Because of his status as a number one pick and the experience of being selected by Jordan, he became the biggest water product in the basketball circle. Every media would go to step on him twice.

But this season, he ushered in a transformation; he washed away the name of a water product; he became a true elite-level center. Moreover, what cannot be ignored is that he played very tough in several key battles.

Jimmy Butler also called Fan Xi twenty minutes after Kwame Brown finished the call.

He was suspended for four games, which means he can be invested in the Clippers' third home game.

"I won't let the Miami people bring the victory back to Miami."

Butler said firmly on the phone.

Butler is a player Fan Xi is very optimistic about; if he hadn't been suspended, Miami's wing defense would have faced greater challenges; this is a desperate player, his defensive style is completely different from Leonard's, but the combination is outstanding.

"Continue to practice three-pointers."

Fan Xi gave instructions to Butler.

After Butler finished the call, he returned to the court to train.

And Fan Xi went to his own training hall; this is the first youth training camp held by the fan-x brand; the brand owner selected 20 high school students in the United States to participate, and there were also 30 young players from China.

They will conduct a 35-day special training here.

This is something every sports brand will do; the difference is that the Fan Xi brand is more willing to tilt resources to domestic players; although the level gap between the two is huge, but... can frequent exchanges between them, accepting the same training quality, perhaps stimulate some special players in fierce collisions?

Stephen Curry also participated in the training camp; he is the second player of the fan-x brand to have a signature shoe; although his status in the NBA is still a latecomer, there is a gap between him and Fan Xi, Durant, and Rose, and there is a half-gap between him and Westbrook.

However, he has already established his own court style; his three-pointers are becoming more and more threatening; in time, he has a great chance to become a superstar of the league's new generation.

At least Fan Xi thinks so; he even thinks Curry will lead the new direction of the NBA.

"Jack, if your team had one of me, those media wouldn't dare to claim that Miami would win."

Curry chatted with Fan Xi while warming up.

"You have to pass your shooting secrets to me without reservation now; I mean your one-stage jump shot." Fan Xi said to Curry.

Curry frowned and said: "Didn't we communicate before? Your problem is not shooting, it's your physical fitness."

"No, my physical fitness is no longer a problem. My shooting progress is very fast now." Fan Xi said very seriously.

He has the fighting spirit of sharpening his gun before the battle.

Curry said: "Okay, you are always so competitive. I have indeed figured out many shooting tips recently."

Saying that, Curry and Fan Xi started to study the secrets of the one-stage jump shot hand-in-hand.

Fan Xi had worked hard in this regard before.

Now, as he gained historically rare stability talent.

When Curry taught him the latest one-stage jump shot mystery, his evolution speed was amazing.

Especially when Curry told him about the connection-style jump shot after quick change of direction and stop, he even showed a learning ability that made Curry frown.

"Oh, my God, you damn monster, what did God do to your body? Obviously, you were stumbling even with a one-stage jump shot in a static state before, now you are so fast at getting started with a one-stage jump shot in a movement battle!"

Curry couldn't help but sigh.

Fan Xi was still not satisfied; he hoped to be faster, faster.

After all, the Finals opponent is the Heat. Whether it is Wade or James defending, their defensive speed is extremely fast.

This is a huge test for Fan Xi's shot.

As everyone knows, the one-stage jump shot pursues fast, accurate, and ruthless.

Not the confrontation and shot height of conventional jump shots.

If Fan Xi couldn't enter the hall quickly and just wandered in the introductory stage, when he met talent monsters like Wade and James in official games, he would be very passive.

So, Fan Xi soaked in the training camp all day to practice.

It wasn't until nine o'clock in the evening that he left.

In fact, if it weren't for Derek Rose calling, he didn't plan to leave here.

Derek Rose finally came to Los Angeles; he gave himself a vacation after the Eastern Conference Finals.

Including coming to Los Angeles is also part of the vacation.

He came to find Chen Ye and Dr. Laisi to maintain his body; this young regular season MVP is paying more and more attention to the maintenance of his body.

And his sponsor is also willing to spend a lot of money to maintain his body; after all, under the Adidas banner, there is no one else who can call the wind and rain in the basketball shoe field except him.

You can't count on Dwight Howard to sell shoes while laughing and laughing, right?

"Actually, it's not as difficult as you think to defeat the Heat alone."

Derek Rose told Fan Xi, he said: "It's more efficient for one person to control the ball rights."

Rose finished the Eastern Conference Finals with the Miami Heat not long ago, and he has the right to speak. "Our strength is about the same; although the Bulls' lineup is more complete, the system is also stronger. However, I think you can create a miracle."

Fan Xi didn't talk to him about these. Just asked him: "Do you think it is more conducive to winning to match up with Wade, or is it more conducive to winning to match up with James."

Rose thought for a while and said: "James."

However, he added another sentence: "However, you have to defeat both of them."

Fan Xi took out the Eastern Conference Finals recording tape; he grabbed Rose and asked for details, asking Rose about his feelings when matching up at that time.

This belongs to immersive interpretation of the game.

For Rose, it was indeed the recovery of painful memories.

"If it weren't for you, I would never discuss these with you."

Rose said proudly.

The fourth game of the Finals arrived quickly.

Although Fan Xi made a lot of preparations before the game, all the Clippers players were also full of fighting spirit.

However, in this game, they still lost.

Lost without too much suspense.

The Miami Big Three fired with full firepower from the first second of the opening; they even established an 8-point lead in the first quarter without the help of referees.

Yes, the referees didn't help them on the horse and send them a ride like the previous two games that night.

The connection between Wade and James was thrilling; they are one of the few combinations in the league that can complete assault-style offense from the backcourt to the frontcourt without spending five seconds.

Moreover, with Haslem's return, they added a lot of energy at the tactical level.

Haslem is one of the most senior players in the Heat, and he is a player with a lot of energy; he brought not only 8 points and 8 rebounds to the Heat players, but also a lot of invisible encouragement.

The final result of the game was 92:82.

The Heat won by 10 points.

This game is the game with the lowest total score since the Finals.

The Clippers adopted full-court oppressive defense; Kwame Brown and Xiao Qiaodan partnered in the paint for most of the time; they interpreted defense to the extreme, it was extreme physical combat. Although Kwame Brown was fouled out in the final moments, in this process, it had the heroic atmosphere of "As long as Kwame is in Luocheng, don't let the Heat pass the paint".

Leonard also performed well.

Leonard is the only player on the Clippers other than Fan Xi to score in double digits tonight; he scored 18 points; he shared Fan Xi's pressure on the offensive end very well; he is an important supplement after Nowitzki's injury.

Although his playing movements lack aesthetic feeling, his back-to-the-basket singles are also up to industrial standards; at least James was uncomfortable for a while.

Fan Xi had 22 points, 12 assists, 6 rebounds, 2 steals, and 2 blocks tonight; he is still comprehensive and efficient.

However, except for him, other Clippers' wings performed relatively generally, and their touch felt cold under high-intensity confrontation. Mainly because after Nowitzki's injury, the court space was compressed very embarrassingly; the Clippers actually didn't have a player who could really open up the defensive line by playing one-on-one.

"This is just a beginning."

LeBron James said proudly after the game: "Only those who believe in miracles can create miracles."

Dwyane Wade also said: "We will end the battle in Miami; we will set off fireworks in the seventh game."

They are full of confidence in the future.

This victory without danger gave them great courage.

In fact, the media is also paving the way for them: if the Clippers cannot end the battle in Los Angeles, then returning to Miami, they will be mercilessly strangled.

The fifth game is considered the Clippers' last chance.
