Chapter 44: Taylor's Kiss, Jordan's Inheritance, Full Firepower
"Beginners often think highly of themselves, but in the eyes of experienced people, they are worthless."
McBlin said a Western proverb.
He is always like this, praising the high and stepping on the low.
Doing this was no problem in the past. Generally speaking, people with strong strength would have more followers, and those guys with weaker strength deserved to be sprayed by him.
However, tonight, there were also some people waiting in front of the TV because of Fan Xi. Fan Xi is the embodiment of miracles; he has been evolving, and he is constantly creating legends.
His All-Star votes had already broken through 760,000 late yesterday, and his popularity was soaring like a rocket.
Therefore, McBlin belittling Fan Xi like this made many people unhappy.
Although everyone knew... Dwyane Wade is a long-established superstar, and Fan Xi is just a newcomer.
"I don't think you need to say it like that." Reggie Miller told his partner after Kobe Bryant hit a fadeaway jumper: "Jack didn't show any disrespect to Wade; you are artificially creating hatred."
Reggie Miller said so.
Mario Chalmers brought the ball to the front court, and under Fan Xi's defense, he passed the basketball to Wade.
Wade made a very provocative gesture at this time. He retreated to the top of the three-point arc and hooked his finger at Fan Xi: "Come on, little guy, I know you aren't convinced. I'll give you a chance to play one-on-one with me. Only three times, okay."
Wade's action made the entire home court boil over.
In basketball games, people like to watch blood-pumping personal one-on-ones the most; this is the purest heroism.
The winner enjoys the cheers of the whole audience.
The loser is dejected and sad.
Now Wade issued a one-on-one invitation to this little rookie, and for the home fans, they naturally looked forward to a hearty bullying of the rookie!
"Don't fall for it. Jack!!" Lao Wente finally couldn't hold back, and he shouted at Fan Xi from the sidelines.
He didn't want Fan Xi to be ravaged by Wade.
However, Fan Xi didn't hesitate.
He didn't want to miss this opportunity. Even if he lost this duel, he had to meet this challenge. Only by playing against the strongest people could he stimulate a stronger self.
Fan Xi walked firmly to Wade and completed the switch with Matt Barnes.
The other Heat players opened up the formation, leaving space for the two people playing one-on-one.
"Kobe, do you think your little brother can block Dwyane, even once, within three rounds?" Lebron, who had opened up, asked Kobe.
Kobe had his habitual coldness on his face. "Wade won't have the last laugh."
His answer was as cold as frost and as firm as cold iron.
James was stunned for a moment.
"Rookie, I will break through from your left side and then hit a mid-range shot."
Wade said to Fan Xi triumphantly.
As he spoke, he rushed and accelerated toward Fan Xi's left side. His pace was extremely precise and sharp, like a scalpel cutting into a wound.
Fan Xi had the title of defensive expert in the NCAA, but facing Wade's assault, he felt insufficient.
His body reacted quickly, and he went to intercept Wade's assault.
Just when he was about to complete the block, he realized he had been tricked... Sure enough!
Wade suddenly made a behind-the-back dribble in a high-speed breakthrough state... His superb body control ability allowed his body to change direction while accelerating.
Fan Xi could only move horizontally.
But when moving horizontally, his thinking jumped for a moment.
He left half a step of space.
Sure enough, Wade saw Fan Xi move horizontally to defend.
Bang!
He changed direction to the left again in front of his body. He thought the repeated shaking was enough to bypass Fan Xi directly.
But he didn't expect Fan Xi to anticipate his move, leaving half a step to wait for him to come over, and directly blocked him.
Wade lost his way back for a moment.
If he didn't want to commit an offensive foul, he could only stop suddenly.
"Good defense." Kobe witnessed everything from the side, and he gave a thumbs up in his heart.
However, he also knew that this kind of defense couldn't contain Wade.
Sure enough, Wade neither stopped suddenly nor charged in less than half a second, but jumped up directly and shot the basketball... Fan Xi wanted to defend, but it was too late.
His body control ability was far inferior to Wade's.
Also... that is, his limb coordination ability was not as good as Wade's.
Swish!
Wade survived in a desperate situation and hit a sudden-stop jump shot.
The home court was boiling, and more than 20,000 fans at the scene shouted Wade's name. The enthusiasm of the American Airlines Arena was ignited at this moment.
"Defended quite well, it's a pity... the person you met is me."
Wade said to Fan Xi forcefully.
Fan Xi had no fluctuation in his heart at all. He turned around to receive the ball and continued to organize the offense.
When Wade came up to defend, Fan Xi didn't tangle with him, but used Pau Gasol's screen to quickly assault the paint, bullying Big Z for not being able to defend out, and completed a jump shot in the mid-range.
"Very good."
Phil Jackson commented.
He liked this way of Fan Xi's handling. It was very rare to maintain a calm mind in such a situation.
"Guess what way I will teach you a lesson next?"
Dwyane Wade continued to spray trash talk at Fan Xi while retreating.
Fan Xi looked straight ahead and topped him: "Do you still dare to tell me? Do you really think you are the contemporary Bird? You don't have that kind of 'unforeseen' strength in front of me."
Fan Xi's tone was very serious and sharp.
Revealing infinite firmness.
Dwyane Wade couldn't help but think of the forced shot after the last breakthrough. Fan Xi's defense really had two brushes. If this guy's physical quality were a little stronger, the last attack would really have been locked down by him.
However, Wade has always been a "king of mouth strength."
He stiffened his neck and threatened this rookie: "I will kill from your right side and then complete a dunk!"
"This time, I will destroy that tiny bit of your pathetic pride."
Wade got angry at Fan Xi: "Don't think you are really the Chosen One, the unprecedented great undrafted player."
Fan Xi's mentality was very calm, and he said to Wade: "I hope what you said is true."
Soon, Mario Chalmers brought the basketball to the front court and then passed it to Wade.
Fan Xi immediately greeted him, and his fingers pointed to the right, clearing the defensive line on the left: "I'm waiting for you to kill from the right and dunk, contemporary Bird."
Wade was stunned.
The words he said became the reins that bound him.
If he cut in from the left, it would mean he wasn't as powerful as he said he was. And if he wanted to cut in from the right, it was obviously very difficult.
The Flash is indeed not a mortal. At this time, he actually roared: "Hey, little guy, do you think I am the kind of person who fishes for fame?"
He suddenly accelerated and galloped away from Fan Xi's left side.
Fan Xi hurriedly chased.
Wade saw Fan Xi chasing up, and when he rushed to the free-throw line, he stopped suddenly.
Fan Xi's center of gravity was slightly unstable. At this time, Wade changed direction quickly and galloped toward Fan Xi's right side.
Who knew Fan Xi was prepared, and actually blocked in advance.
It was clearly not wanting Wade to succeed in the breakthrough from the right.
The Flash was extremely annoyed. He couldn't change direction to the right, so he could only continue to the left.
Fan Xi followed him every step of the way.
Wade could only sink his shoulders and accelerate, killing into the basket from the left side, and then jumped up, trying to dunk... but found Fan Xi had rushed up in advance... The two collided in the air!
Beep!
The whistle sounded.
Wade's dunk was forcibly pressed down.
Fan Xi also paid a great price. His thin body was knocked away by Wade in the air, and he staggered when he landed. Fortunately, he held onto the basket frame and didn't fall.
However, this time.
Wade not only failed to do what he said about breaking through from the right and dunking, but also failed to hit the ball.
It can be said that Fan Xi successfully defended once.
Wade's mentality exploded a bit.
He grabbed the basketball and smashed it hard on the ground with resentment.
Then he walked to the free-throw line.
Fan Xi raised his eyebrows at him.
Swish!
Swish!
Wade made both free throws.
But in the one-on-one battle, he lost.
Therefore, when Fan Xi held the ball again, his movements became more intense. He was provoked. He originally thought that cleaning up Fan Xi would be a very easy thing, but he didn't expect... Fan Xi was so cunning.
When Fan Xi used Pau Gasol's screen to complete a breakthrough again, Wade pushed Fan Xi hard when he couldn't catch up with the defense.
How could Fan Xi withstand his strength? He staggered and fell to the ground at that time.
Thump!
He fell solidly, and the sound was loud.
Ah!
Taylor Swift's concerned scream sounded from the sidelines.
Since Fan Xi and Wade clashed, her heart had been hanging in mid-air. As Fan Xi kept staggering and falling, she hated Wade to the core.
Beep!
The head referee blew the whistle and gave Wade a foul.
Fan Xi stood up with Kobe's pulling, and then he turned his head and gave Taylor Swift a calm smile, and patted his chest to show he was fine.
He didn't want Taylor Swift to worry about him.
The interaction between the two was seen by the people around, and everyone was surprised: When did this rookie get so close to the little diva Taylor Swift?
"Hey, look, what did I say before. I said long ago that if Taylor Swift came to the arena for a man, it must be for Jack, not Lebron." Reggie Miller was excited, and he yelled at his partner McBlin.
McBlin frowned: "Maybe it's just this rookie's wishful thinking? Why would Taylor Swift like this weakling? His confrontation with Wade didn't achieve any success."
"Do you really think so?" Reggie Miller asked with a smile: "Why do I feel that Wade didn't take much advantage?"
Swish!
Swish!
Fan Xi also made both free throws.
At this time, the Miami Heat suddenly stole a ball.
Wade went to the three-point line to receive the ball and galloped toward the front court.
But just then, Fan Xi chased up quickly. The speed of the peak Iverson allowed him to intercept successfully near the center line, and Miami's sneak attack failed.
When Wade was intercepted, he tried his best to break through quickly.
But one change of direction was fruitless, and the second change of direction was still captured by Fan Xi.
He could only use strength to open the way. Who knew he collided with Fan Xi... Fan Xi was knocked to the ground by him, and Wade himself also fell to the ground.
However, when he fell, he passed the basketball to James.
He was glad the offense was still continuing.
But the next second, he couldn't be glad anymore.
Because, a tall and beautiful figure ran over.
"Hey, Jack! Are you okay?" After Taylor Swift ran over, she squatted directly on the ground, and she tried hard to pull Fan Xi up.
And at this time, Wade was still lying on the ground, ignored by anyone.
The strong contrast made him look particularly lonely.
The scene of Taylor Swift pulling Fan Xi up also caused a commotion on the sidelines. This was something everyone had not expected.
Including that McBlin, who kept muttering: This is impossible! This is impossible!
In his heart, beauty matches hero; Taylor should be with superstars like Wade and James to be a match. Jack is just a rookie.
Just then, a shocking scene that dropped the eyeballs of North American audiences happened on the TV.
Even James's dunk in the front court became dim, and the TV camera was all focused here.
When Fan Xi fell to the ground, his forehead hit the stool on the sidelines, so when Taylor helped him up, she immediately saw the redness and swelling on his forehead.
She hurriedly tiptoed slightly, blew on Fan Xi's forehead, and asked with concern: Does it hurt?
Fan Xi had never been so kindly cared for by a woman in public in his life.
This warm current blew his heart surging.
Especially after the bursts of screams on the sidelines.
This strange feeling made his emotions rise violently, and he realized that bio-electricity might be generated soon.
But it seemed to be a little bit short.
So, he said very seriously: "You blew it very comfortably, but... it seems it's not enough!!!"
Fan Xi said it very seriously.
Taylor Swift heard it with a flushed face.
At this time, Dwyane Wade finally stood up with his own strength. His eyes happened to look at the two people in front, and then he saw the most "terrible" scene.
Taylor Swift actually tiptoed slightly, gathered her courage, and under the eyes of more than 20,000 people in the audience, under the simultaneous broadcast of more than two million families across the United States, she puckered her cherry mouth... Mu-a!
She kissed Fan Xi on the forehead.
Buzz!!!
The moment her lips touched his forehead, Fan Xi felt his cerebral cortex filled with bio-electricity, even feeling like it was going to penetrate his body.
The Energy Halo in his brain was instantly lit up... and it was unprecedentedly bright.
In this astonishing brightness, he saw Michael Jordan's shadow again.
This surprised him greatly.
At the same time, the outside reaction was also encouraging.
The entire American Airlines Arena was filled with "wails." They never dreamed that they could eat this level of dog food while watching a basketball game.
Especially Wade standing at the very front.
He felt he had received the biggest blow since he started his career. He was fed a mouthful of dog food, and he even reached out to cover his chest; he felt he couldn't take this stimulation.
Damn it.
Why show affection in front of me.
I must beat this guy up next to make up for my injury!
My eyes!!
Wade was in pain.
The audience in front of the TV was excited.
This one kiss was worth the price of admission.
Just?
When did Taylor Swift get together with Jack?
Didn't Jack have a scandal with Selena? And that little sister from the Kardashian family.
