Chapter 4

What a self-righteous guy!

Steve Blake was cynical on the bench; he couldn't stand this damn rookie showing off, and he wished Dorell Wright would steal the ball from Fan Xi immediately.

If there were levels of mental power, his prayer at this time had reached the highest level.

However, his personal mental power would definitely be offset by the mental power of hundreds of millions of fans across the ocean.

When Fan Xi held the ball and made a one-on-one stance, the entire land of China boiled over.

This was the first time in history that a Chinese player had executed the decisive shot in the final moments of an NBA game, and Fan Xi fulfilled the wishes of countless fans.

You know, in the past on TV, you could only see super-superstars like Kobe Bryant, LeBron James, Allen Iverson, Dwyane Wade, Kevin Durant, Carmelo Anthony, and Chris Paul do this.

"Fan Xi is really going to become famous with one shot tonight!"

When the commentator said this sentence.

Fan Xi started.

The basketball dribbled between his legs.

No one in the NBA at this time knew Fan Xi's level, except for his teammate Stephen Curry.

He was feeling something was wrong, but found that his teammate Dorell Wright moved; Wright relied on his height and arm span, and he actually took a step to force Fan Xi's seemingly loose between-the-legs dribble.

He had always thought Fan Xi was a shooter, and his ball-handling ability must be poor.

"Careful!!"

Stephen Curry hurriedly shouted loudly.

However, this loud shout was ultimately too slow.

Fan Xi's originally loose between-the-legs change of direction suddenly revealed a murderous intent, changing direction strangely midway? Actually pulling back like a rotation? And quickly took a step forward while holding the ball in his right hand.

At that time, Dorell Wright was shaken to the side.

Curry hurriedly wanted to go over to help defend, but found that Dorell Wright had actually chased back.

Fan Xi's movement seemed to be a beat slow.

Curry frowned.

He had always known about Fan Xi's ball-handling ability; when Fan Xi was in college, he would go to the Harlem Globetrotters to perform every summer. His breakthrough ability was limited by his physical fitness in official games, but in terms of ball-handling alone, Curry thought he should be among the top in the world today.

Dorell Wright was tricked, but his physical fitness was strong enough to chase back.

Curry just breathed a sigh of relief, suddenly realized something was wrong, and hurriedly wanted to remind him, but the words were on his lips, and it was too late.

Fan Xi stopped directly, stepped back, and made a shooting motion; at that time, Dorell Wright flew over.

At the same time, Fan Xi went straight up to meet him.

He was extremely determined, hitting Dorell Wright in mid-air and then shooting?? Beep!

The referee couldn't help but blow the whistle, even though there was less than 1 second left in the game.

When the whistle sounded.

The cheers of the whole audience had already spread.

Lao Wente hugged his head in surprise at that moment; he didn't expect Fan Xi to actually want a foul?? This little guy is too smart.

However, surprises came one after another after the moment.

The basketball drew a beautiful arc? Swish!

It fell straight into the net.

111:111.

The two teams were tied.

The electronic buzzer sounded, and the lights behind the backboard lit up.

However, Fan Xi still had one free throw opportunity.

Unexpected!

The surprise came too violently.

The DJ at the scene couldn't control his emotions anymore; he roared: Miracle! Miracle! Miracle! Buzzer-beater! Buzzer-beater! Buzzer-beater! Jack Fan created a new miracle at Staples, he defended this home court??

When the cheers of the whole audience exploded, the sound wave seemed to lift the roof of the Staples Center.

Fan Xi walked to the free-throw line.

The game wasn't over yet.

He still had one free throw.

If he hit this free throw, he would create history.

1 minute and 11 seconds on the court, three three-pointers, one free throw, 10 points, buzzer-beater!

His debut would be the strongest performance in NBA history.

Even if the Lakers had the tradition of show-time, where was there one so gorgeous?

The land of China was already boiling over.

"Fan Xi is too fierce! Too fierce! Three three-pointers! He is simply a god descending to earth. Who could have thought that he, who was undrafted in the draft, would show such a performance in his first debut? I dare say, as long as he hits this free throw, the Lakers will definitely re-sign him. It doesn't matter if the Lakers don't re-sign him, wherever he goes, he will be very popular. Teams now need shooters too much, not to mention, his defensive ability isn't weak either."

The CCTV host gave a long speech.

But in fact, the hundreds of millions of viewers in front of the TV had long been unable to hear what he was saying; when the third three-pointer hit, excited howls resounded in front of every TV.

Finally, finally a Chinese guard dominated the NBA court.

Hu!

Fan Xi adjusted his breathing.

He made himself calm down quickly.

At this time, the entire arena's attention was focused on him.

Fan Xi adjusted his posture very gently; he was very steady, and this steadiness exceeded Lao Wente's expectations; he was already very certain: this kid is definitely a talent worth cultivating. He must keep this guy.

At this time, Fan Xi shot the basketball out of his hand, very gently.

After shooting, he showed a victorious smile; although the basketball was still in the air, he had already raised his hands high and turned around.

Zero point five seconds later?? Swish!

It fell into the net in response!

112:111.

The final conclusion.

Fan Xi won the game with a free-throw buzzer-beater.

At this time, the DJ at the scene couldn't suppress his emotions anymore; he roared and shouted: Super-Fan!!

Super Fan!!!

Fan Xi got his first nickname of his professional career.

At this time, his teammates had already rushed over to celebrate with him, but he ran wildly all the way, and he jumped onto the technical table.

He excitedly took off his jersey.

The fans in the audience were already shouting in unison: Fan! Fan! Fan!

It was as if a king had returned in triumph after a personal expedition.

The shouting of more than 20,000 people stirred Fan Xi's chest.

His emotions were released, and his hot blood even felt like it was boiling under the violent beating of his heart.

"This is where my dream began!!"

Fan Xi roared at the fans.

At the same time, his emotions burned to the extreme. A trace of bioelectricity formed a wave in his mind and touched that halo... Hum!

Immediately!

The halo in his mind was lit up.

Then, he saw an extremely familiar figure in his mind; he saw Iverson, wearing the No. 3 jersey, running like lightning in the Staples Center.

Immediately, his limbs and bones were wrapped in comfortable electric current, and an invisible force circled his whole body; he opened his arms and let them all merge in.

At this time, he closed his eyes, feeling warm and very comfortable.

There was a voice in the halo: You will obtain Allen Iverson's peak speed!!

Fan Xi's joy reached its extreme.

All along, he had been troubled by his mediocre physical fitness, and now? He felt his legs filled with power.

10 seconds later, he received all the energy.

He jumped down from the technical table, his legs were stronger than ever, and he even wanted to run wildly.

"Undoubtedly, tonight is Fan Xi's breakout game. He became famous in one battle!"

"Kobe's injury achieved him. He carried the Lakers' banner in times of trouble; he is the hero of the Staples Center!"

The CCTV commentator praised Fan Xi loudly on TV.

His vocal cords were already trembling, and he was a little choked up.

For him, for Chinese basketball, Fan Xi's appearance was too timely.

Although, it wasn't certain whether he would be a flash in the pan.

However, his debut was already shocking enough, enough, enough, even more than those top superstars in the NBA had ever had.

It was simply a plot in a TV series.

A god descending to earth, a lone rider saving the master, three arrows setting the Tianshan Mountains!

All the words about heroes were used on Fan Xi tonight.

"Congratulations on winning this game!"

After Fan Xi celebrated with his teammates, he walked over and hugged Curry, who had been waiting for a long time.

If it weren't for Fan Xi's sudden appearance, Curry would be the absolute protagonist tonight. He emerged when the team leader Monta Ellis was injured, defeated the defending champion with an unstoppable momentum, and scored 46 points.

However, no one could have thought that Curry defeated the team leader Monta Ellis, but ultimately fell to Fan Xi, this nobody.

Curry said to Fan Xi: "A good performance in one game doesn't count for anything, Jack. You have to continue to work hard; after tonight, countless teams will study you and understand you. You will be targeted, and you need to keep improving to adapt to increasingly difficult challenges."

Curry shared his experience with Fan Xi from the bottom of his heart.

Fan Xi nodded and said: "Stephen, I will definitely become stronger and stronger; I hope one day we can stand at the peak of the NBA!"

Curry smiled and said: "Alright, let's work hard together!"

The two hugged tightly again, and then Curry walked towards the player tunnel.

The winner, Fan Xi, was surrounded by reporters.

Everyone was full of curiosity about this short-term contract player who killed his way out from the bench; the TV stations here in the US knew nothing about Fan Xi's information.

But now, he had created a miracle.

"My name is Fan Xi, I am 19 years old this year, 193 cm tall, 88 kg in weight, with an arm span of 209 cm. I dropped out of Davidson College. I participated in the draft in the summer of 2010, but I was undrafted. Subsequently, I tried out for various teams, and the Lakers gave me a chance ten days ago. Tonight is my first appearance on the official NBA stage, and I am very grateful to Coach Lao Wente for giving me the opportunity."

"From the day I started playing basketball, I have been preparing for today."

"Very lucky, I put wings on the dream I've had since I was a child; when I hit the buzzer-beater, I felt like I was finally flying!"

When the reporter asked him to introduce himself, Fan Xi talked freely and generously, leaving a beautiful impression on the reporters and the audience in front of the TV.

Then, the reporter asked some other questions.

"I didn't know if I would get a chance to play tonight, but I have always been preparing for it. My touch was very good tonight, and I finally practiced my shooting."

"I want to thank Steve Blake; if he hadn't belittled me in the training camp, I wouldn't have found my touch so quickly. I know he doesn't like me, and likes it even less when I perform, so I insisted on doing it. And I did it!"

Fan Xi told the media about the conflict between himself and Steve Blake. He didn't mind making the conflict public at all.

This was something he did deliberately; he had to establish an opponent within the team and then defeat this opponent; this was the key to quickly rising in the team.

Besides, fans like this kind of topic.

The conflict between Kobe and O'Neal back then is still talked about today.

"In the next game, I will be stronger! I have confidence in myself, and I will definitely continue to bring surprises to the fans."

Fan Xi finally made a confident prediction.

He was really ready to soar into the sky.

At the same time, the team's general manager, Ku Pu Qie Ke, and the team's minor owner, Jimbas, also ran to the locker room excitedly; they couldn't wait to keep this young man.

Too fierce!

Too fierce!
