Chapter 384: I am better than you in everything, why can you defeat me

The situation became treacherous; as the Clippers' three guards hit shots one after another, even Kobe Bryant couldn't figure out the current situation.

The Clippers were leading anyway.

However, in every aspect, the Heat had the advantage. After all, the Big Three were the Big Three; they were stronger, more talented, had more game experience, and were tested super superstars. Looking at the Clippers, except for Fan Xi who had successful experience, the others were either rookies or former busts.

Could the Clippers really rely on such a lineup to create a miracle, defend the victory in the Staples Center, and lift the championship trophy?

Swish!

Dwyane Wade hit a mid-range stop-and-go jump shot in the front court again; Fan Xi's defensive coverage was very tight, but he couldn't stop this from happening.

"Take this victory and bring the championship back to Miami."

Wade shouted loudly, motivating all the players on the team.

This was already a battle of honor with no retreat; Wade, the Big Three, and Miami had no retreat.

The era would not allow them to lose to Fan Xi for two consecutive years.

The honor, interests, and historical status they carried would all change essentially with this playoff series.

Wade's shouting made the whole Heat team murderous.

Fan Xi, however, still steadily took the ball; his heart was also surging with infinite heroism; his calmness and passion perfectly blended at this moment; he knew he was standing at the most important watershed of his career.

Taking this victory, killing the Miami Big Three, he truly possessed the admission ticket to challenge history.

Last year's Finals, last year's Finals MVP, were more considered an accidental counterattack.

But this year, even if God stood in front of him, he couldn't erase Fan Xi's great achievements throughout the process.

No one didn't want to challenge history, no one didn't want to get the admission ticket to the top.

Fan Xi was a great man, and he naturally wanted to pick the brightest pearl on the crown.

Fan Xi's heart was surging, but his face was like a calm lake.

He arrived at the front court, Wade still defended a step away.

He made a quick attack move inside, Wade subconsciously retreated, but just as Wade retreated, Fan Xi stopped, jumped and shot... in one go.

The ball flew from outside the 3-point line towards the paint again, the parabola was so beautiful.

Wade's expression showed uncontrollable astonishment.

And when the ball pierced through the net, the whole arena erupted with a monstrous wave, the sound seeming to surge up crazily from under the floor. The Flash's astonishment turned into firmness.

He had already recognized the cruelty of reality, but he didn't give up.

This was the difference between a super superstar and an ordinary superstar.

A true super superstar must possess the sharpness to face cruelty and be born from death.

There was no retreat.

Wade glared at Fan Xi.

Beep!

Spoelstra requested a timeout; he had to make the final deployment, with 1 minute and 38 seconds left in the game. The numbers on the scoreboard clearly showed they were still trailing the Clippers by 4 points.

This meant they had to complete at least two effective offenses in these 1 minute and 36 seconds, and defend all the Clippers' offenses.

"Does Miami still have a chance?"

Kevin Love asked; he was a new generation superstar, his head was a bit confused. In his view, the Clippers were unstoppable, and the Big Three were already at their wit's end.

"Yes." Kobe said. "However, they must pull out this nail, Fan Xi."

"But, is Jack so easily pulled out by them?" Kobe said again.

At this moment, Kobe actually already had the answer in his heart. He had a mysterious trust in Fan Xi; he always thought Fan Xi was invincible at critical moments. Fan Xi's way of handling the game could always catch people off guard.

At this time, Paul didn't speak anymore.

He pursed his lips silently.

The 20-second short timeout was like a long river of time for everyone who cared about this game.

And the moment the whistle blew, the hearts of everyone who were already lifted were lifted again.

Even the experienced NBA superstar group, sitting in front of the TV, couldn't help but clench their fists.

The Finals had reached this point, and the NBA had obtained what they wanted.

This was the most watched Finals in recent years.

It was also the most influential Finals in recent years.

The camera gave to David Stern sitting in the audience at this time... actually, he had been sitting in the audience for the last two games. Because when a team got the match point, he had to sit in the audience, what if they won the championship?

Stern's face still carried a gentle and professional smile; it was hard to see any bias towards either side on his face.

He was a person with great wisdom.

This was also why he could bring the NBA, which was on the verge of bankruptcy, to the league with the greatest international influence among the five major North American sports events today.

The duel between Fan Xi and James was something he was happy to see; one represented the ultimate of American basketball, James was the darling of American basketball, and from before he joined the NBA, people crowned him with the title of Chosen One. The other represented the ultimate of international basketball; Fan Xi's skin color deeply bound the world's largest basketball market, and besides bringing the Asian market, Fan Xi also brought the female market, making basketball a pop culture that killed both men and women.

Although he wasn't loved by basketball experts, he was undoubtedly the darling of NBA operators.

So, in David Stern's heart, no matter what the final ownership of the series was, the NBA had won big.

Although more people in the American basketball circle hoped James would win.

Swish!

As soon as James came on, he turned and shot as soon as he caught Wade's ball... he only used 4 seconds to hit a 3-pointer.

After James scored, his gaze was like a leopard, black and white distinct, full of danger.

The gap narrowed to 1 point.

And when Fan Xi caught the ball, James greeted him.

At this time, exclamations came from the TV studio.

The audience in front of the TV also boiled.

The aces of the two teams finally met at this most important moment.

They represented the ultimate of their respective fields; they were the pride of their respective fields.

The outcome between them even represented the direction of the future basketball pattern.

James had no retreat.

He bet all his honor, all his chips.

He went all-in.

His defense was incomparably focused; he put all his terrifying physical talent on the line.

Fan Xi pushed forward steadily.

He was very calm.

"Do you still dare to shoot in front of me?"

James stimulated Fan Xi.

Fan Xi didn't answer.

James was going to settle all the old and new grudges tonight.

Last year was also the fifth game; Fan Xi, in a state where his ligaments were injured and he couldn't jump, and Miami thought they had the victory in their hands, used a beautiful spin to pass James, and in the simplest way of basketball, which was a stationary shot, pierced James's defense and hung Miami on the pillar of shame.

Now, James was going to take back everything that belonged to him.

Fan Xi arrived outside the 3-point line, James defended a step away; in this situation, he could guard against Fan Xi's breakthrough and cover Fan Xi's shot.

James's physical fitness was the best in the league; he had the speed and explosive power of a guard, and the strength and arm span of a center. At the same time, his agility and coordination were also quite good.

As long as his willpower was strong enough, he had a chance to compete for the Defensive Player of the Year, which was why he often appeared in the All-Defensive Team.

Fan Xi had no panic under his defensive shroud.

He suddenly accelerated to attack inside, James followed in time.

But just at this time, Fan Xi suddenly stopped, then jumped, making a shooting motion... this move came out, Kobe screamed in front of the TV, because it was too risky. Such a stupid shooting choice, even Kobe thought it shouldn't be.

But just before Kobe's scream was finished, Fan Xi passed the ball out from under James's ribs.

Jimmy Butler arrived, he caught the ball and rushed behind Fan Xi, jumped and shot... he was very confident.

However, Bang!

The ball hit the iron.

But just at the moment the ball bounced high, Fan Xi's figure actually appeared in the high sky of the paint.

It turned out that the moment he passed the ball to Butler, he hunched his waist and sprinted towards the paint.

And Butler's shot happened to hit the iron just right.

He happened to be in the absolute jumping space; he jumped up, his body like a roc spreading its wings; Bosh and Haslem in the paint had no ability to box out at all.

Fan Xi swept over their heads, grabbed the ball, and smashed it towards the basket... Boom!

Fan Xi dunked with both hands.

The gap went back to 3 points.

Time was 1 minute and 19 seconds.

Very ample.

However, Fan Xi didn't think Miami had any chance.

After scoring, he immediately rushed to James, and he completed a defensive switch with Leonard.

This was unexpected.

After all, in normal cognition, Leonard was the best player for the Clippers to defend James. He had height, arm span, and defensive talent. Fan Xi? He was a very good defensive player; he was okay defending Wade; let him go up against James, could he do it?

"You will regret this decision."

James glared at Fan Xi, his words cold and ruthless.

"Hehe."

Fan Xi just smiled calmly and coldly.

Wade dribbled, but he ran into Leonard.

Leonard followed his defense step by step; Leonard was very good at entangling opponents.

Wade didn't dare to be careless; at this time, if he lost a possession, it would be over.

So, he was extra careful, so much so that the Heat fell into a positional battle.

Wade tried to break through Leonard's defense; after two probes, he realized the risk was too great, so he passed the ball to James.

James caught the ball and immediately turned his back; he pushed inside; the back-to-the-basket skill he practiced hard in the off-season finally achieved important results.

Fan Xi didn't fiercely push James, but at the moment James gained shooting space and completed the turn, he flew over and stuck to him.

His left hand went straight to the ball James was about to lift.

James had experience; he showed a high level.

He passed the ball to Bosh.

Bosh shot... the ball went in.

The gap narrowed to 1 point.

Time was 1 minute and 03 seconds.

"I am better at passing than you."

James said to Fan Xi: "I am better than you in everything; why can you defeat me?"

"Hehe."

Fan Xi still smiled calmly and coldly.
