Chapter 522: Global Shock, Breaking Human Limits

~15 min read 2,917 words

If Fan Xi's momentum is at its peak now, basketball fans worldwide are kneeling in worship of his miracle tonight.

Then his opponents, the Brooklyn Nets players who were still swaggering and taunting him, are like frost‑bitten eggplants; Fan Xi has already broken the record. All their effort turns to air, and even at full strength they cannot stop Fan Xi from putting the ball through the hoop—Fan Xi has missed not a single shot in the fourth quarter so far.

Superstitious, they even think God is on Fan Xi's side.

Their morale collapses, and even Bao Luo Pi Er Si, a stalwart man, looks somewhat despondent now.

But soon, Pierce rallies, shouting, "No matter what, we can't let him reach 90 points, let alone 100. We may lose, but we must not become the laughingstock of history! This disgrace I cannot bear, and you cannot bear either!"

Pierce's words spur the Nets players.

Indeed, who would want to become a historic disgrace? Especially tonight, when they have roused Fan Xi from the bench, people will viciously mock their stupidity while worshipping Fan Xi.

They cannot shoulder this historic responsibility.

Pierce's words lift every player's spirit; their next task is to block Fan Xi's scoring.

Even if it looks humiliating, they must not let Fan Xi achieve unprecedented points.

There are 5 minutes 15 seconds left in the game.

Everything is still in time.

"I'm going in!" Deron Williams told Jia Sen Ji De confidently, saying, "Since I started this, let me finish it."

He is incredibly resolute.

He does not choose to retreat now.

Whether he pushes forward or pulls back, it's a strike either way; Deron Williams decides to step forward.

Jia Sen Ji De, adaptable as water, substitutes Deron Williams for JR Smith.

Then the whistle blows, and the game continues.

Fan Xi steps onto the court amid unprecedented cheers. While on the bench, many teammates encouraged him: Jie Ke, you must at least get 90 points; you can aim for 100.

When he takes the floor, a spectator raises a sign that reads: 101!!!

When the camera catches it and projects it onto the big screen, Madison Garden erupts in a wave of cheers.

Fan Xi smiles.

He walks to the free‑throw line.

His hand moves like a blade.

Swish!

The free throw goes in.

He reaches 82 points.

He shows unprecedented stability—a historic feat. Many players lose shooting accuracy in the fourth quarter due to fatigue, but since returning from the timeout Fan Xi has been perfect, already adding 24 points.

He is only 9 points shy of the single‑quarter scoring record.

Even though Kobe Bryant and Le Bu Lang Zhang Si, two former league marquee stars, have turned off their TVs, they do not want to witness Fan Xi's final tally.

But another Thus we include: English is called from a Texas poker table to the TV.

His assistant begins discussing what just happened; it has already become a storm in the basketball world.

Fans, retired legends, active superstars, sponsors, media… the whole world is ready, prepared to welcome the miracle.

Qiao Dan, after hearing the whole story,

is extremely surprised.

Qiao Dan holds the most scoring champion trophies in history, yet he is not the highest‑scoring player ever, nor the highest‑scoring guard in a single game.

Nevertheless, no one doubts his ability. Many even say that Qiao Dan, in this era, could score 80 points against this level of defense.

Qiao Dan himself does not deny it.

But when he fast‑forwards Fan Xi's fourth‑quarter performance, he is stunned. He says, "Even if the entire Nets team swarms him crazily, he could still reach 90 points. His touch is too steady, his ways of firing are too many. Unless the five Nets link hands and encircle him… but that would make them even more embarrassed."

Qiao Dan says this.

Swish!

Ka Mei Long An Dong Ni makes a jump shot.

But it no longer matters.

Fan Xi receives the ball in the backcourt, Deron Williams stays close beside him; when he crosses half‑court, Bao Luo Pi Er Si follows up from the side.

They circle Fan Xi like shepherd dogs, not allowing him to shoot.

Fan Xi, adaptable as water, reaches the top of the three‑point arc and passes the ball to Pu Lin Si.

Pu Lin Si drives to the free‑throw line, meets a help defense, and passes to Qiao Yue Han Xun.

At this moment, almost the entire Nets' focus is on Fan Xi; they watch his every move closely.

In fact, the Knicks are the same.

But Fan Xi does not seem intent on a one‑on‑one.

So Qiao Yue Han Xun shoots.

Bang!

He is a bit nervous; the ball's rebound arc bounces high.

Fan Xi drives into the paint, leaps high; Bao Luo Pi Er Si flies alongside, Tai Sen Qian De Le also contests the rebound.

But Fan Xi's hand touches first, and he tips the ball toward the paint.

He originally intended to tip it to Kai Wen Jia Nei Te.

Yet the ball hits the backboard and, at a clever angle, rebounds into the hoop.

Swish!

84 points.

The active‑player scoring record climbs again.

Each point Fan Xi scores at this moment makes his legend index soar.

Madison Garden Arena has already entered a carnival music‑festival mode, and everyone is wildly excited and full of enthusiasm.

Who could have thought that at the start of the game their goal was to avoid a losing streak?

They simply didn't want to be taken down by the backwoods Nets, to hold onto this win and avoid being slain by the upcoming Heat.

Little did they know it would evolve into such a crazy situation.

Bang!

Carmelo Anthony's shot rims out, and Fan Xi rushes into the paint to grab the rebound.

Unwittingly, his rebound total also reaches twelve.

His assists tonight are a bit "few", only eight.

But at this level, people no longer fuss over whether he gets a super triple‑double. It hardly matters.

Now everyone just wants to know how many more points Fan Xi can score, and whether he can break Wilt Chamberlain's 100‑point record.

Before tonight, Wilt Chamberlain's 100‑point record was considered one of the NBA's most unbreakable records, its difficulty rated at the sssss s‑level.

Many basketball experts dared not imagine that any super‑star or prolific scorer could touch it.

But tonight, it became possible.

Fan Xi tallied 58 points in the first three quarters, his touch honed to an unprecedented smoothness.

When he stormed onto the court in the fourth quarter, he was on fire; he has already scored 26 points this quarter, leaving only 16 points to reach 100.

There are still over four minutes left—hard?

Perhaps there is hope.

Even though the Nets are doing everything to slow the pace, using all their energy to delay Fan Xi's rhythm and to lock him down.

Fan Xi stops at the top of the arc.

Deron Williams stands in front of him, arms outstretched, extremely vigilant.

At the slightest rustle, he would explode.

Paul Pierce on the side is less than one and a half meters away.

He is also very concerned.

Carmelo Anthony guards at the free‑throw line, a full‑court defense.

At that moment, Stade Miller darts out from inside the free‑throw line to screen Fan Xi.

Just as he is about to reach the three‑point line, Deron's gaze shifts back for less than half a second.

Fan Xi jumps straight up, catching everyone off guard, like a Tracy McGrady pull‑up—faster than Tracy McGrady himself.

His explosiveness is immense, and the shot is released during the jump.

Deron does everything he can to block, but falls just short.

Fan Xi confidently watches the ball fly toward the paint.

A smile curls his lips; the feeling he has now is unprecedentedly wonderful, a flow he has never known before. It's like hitting a lucky streak in mahjong—whatever hand he wants, he can make.

Stephen Curry, watching on TV, predicts the shot will go in.

Swish!

Sure enough!

The three‑pointer ignites the excitement of basketball fans worldwide.

Everyone watches the game with a pilgrim's reverence; the internet is flooded with Fan Xi, and everyone bears witness to history, even if they don't understand basketball.

Even if they consider other sports to be the premier sport.

But at this moment, even if all the world's other top athletes combined, they cannot steal Fan Xi's brilliance.

Tonight, Fan Xi is the world's brightest star, period!

89 points.

Deron Williams looks almost desperate, watching Fan Xi raise his arms in triumph; he believes his defense has no flaw, yet Fan Xi still scores.

Is this guy God or Satan?

He certainly isn't human!!

Reggie Miller roars on ESPN, dropping the act, no longer restraining his true thoughts. He shouts, "Fuck it, this is real basketball. Jie Ke is on a killing spree! He's better than any scorer in the world—Jordan can't match him, Kobe can't match him, Wilt Chamberlain can't match him, I say it!!!"

"After tonight, anyone who says Jie Ke isn't a scoring machine is an utterly stupid villain! Pure stupidity is evil!!"

Reggie Miller's roar distracts viewers at home; ESPN babbles all night about Fan Xi's faults, and even if Fan Xi breaks the record, the experts keep nitpicking.

Even now, Reggie Miller has flipped the table.

His shout resonates strongly with many disgruntled fans, providing release.

Deron Williams dribbles past half‑court, suppressing the tempo.

He deliberately lets the clock run.

Fan Xi appears untroubled, simply standing there, waiting for Deron Williams.

Deron runs for about fifteen seconds, sees Carmelo Anthony open and passes the ball, but just as the ball is sent, Joe Johnson makes a leaping dash from behind Anthony, like a soccer goalkeeper diving for the ball.

He deflects the basketball and, before crashing down, shouts, "Jie Ke!"

Fan Xi snatches the ball swiftly and bolts down the court like lightning.

Deron gives relentless pursuit.

He pulls out a hundred‑meter sprint speed.

But he still isn't as fast as Fan Xi.

When Fan Xi bursts toward the free‑throw line for a layup, Deron can only sprint a step forward, grabbing Fan Xi's jersey hard… trying to block the shot in this pitiful, desperate way.

However. It has no effect.

He grabbed Fan Xi's jersey, but the Knicks' jersey quality was very good, and Fan Xi's explosive power still broke free from Deron Williams even as the jersey was stretched.

The referee blew the whistle.

Fan Xi's basketball still went into the hoop……In fact, Fan Xi had a chance to dunk.

But he didn't do that.

91 points.

Fan Xi's scoring entered a new realm.

Moreover, he still had an additional free throw.

In fact, if the referee were a bit stricter, he could even call a flagrant foul on Deron Williams.

Although he was already in a sorry state.

Amid the cheers of the whole arena, Fan Xi walked to the free-throw line.

Deron Williams' eyes were full of despair; he was like a prisoner about to go to the execution ground, he was bewildered, confused, and regretful. ωωw. Bǐqυgétν. net

He even asked himself in his heart: Who am I? Why am I here?

He was knocked out.

His hostility and resentment toward Fan Xi had long vanished; after this game, his deep-seated grudge against Fan Xi was probably not worth mentioning.

The gap between them could no longer be called that of opponents.

Swish!

92 points.

Fan Xi maintained his perfect efficiency in the fourth quarter, and his game score reached 34 points, surpassing Carmelo Anthony and George Gervin to become the player with the highest single-quarter scoring in NBA history. Carmelo Anthony set a legendary 33-point single quarter in 2008, but it was in the third quarter.

Now Fan Xi scored 34 points in the fourth quarter; the player with the most points in a fourth quarter in history is Wilt Chamberlain, who scored 31 points in the final quarter of his legendary 100-point game that pushed human limits.

Fan Xi has already broken many records; the only thing left before him is a single-game 100 points.

At this moment, basketball fans worldwide and all humanity following this game are anticipating one thing: whether Fan Xi can stand at the pinnacle of human basketball history tonight.

Michael Jordan took a deep breath in front of the TV; he was very nervous, really unprecedentedly nervous.

Although Wilt Chamberlain was not historically second, when Michael Jordan became a god, it was widely recognized that he crossed the two great mountains of Larry Bird and Magic Johnson, directly snatched the scepter of Thus we include: English from Wilt Chamberlain's hands, and crowned himself.

Before Jordan, Wilt Chamberlain was considered the limit of human basketball. Although in statistics and honors, Bill Russell and Jia Ba'er were somewhat better than him.

Now, if Fan Xi breaks the unprecedented scoring record tonight.

Then… his prestige would reach an unprecedented state. When he won three consecutive championships in June this year, people had already bestowed upon him the title of half-step Thus we include: English; tonight he breaks the human limit of 100 points—will he thus become a god?

On the internet, he has already been deified.

Because people generally believe that his 92-point value has already surpassed Chamberlain's 100 points.

But after all, he is still short by 8 points.

There are still 2 minutes and 52 seconds left in the game.

Michael Jordan couldn't help muttering: Damn, the Nets must hold on! The Nets must hold on!!

From a business perspective, if a new Thus we include: English emerges, Jordan's influence will decline, his shoes, his endorsements, and everything he has will be affected.

He does not want this to happen.

This is also why his sponsors and partners are frantically calling him.

Deron Williams was suppressing the pace; he even wanted to directly drain the 24 seconds.

But just as he was about to consume nearly 15 seconds, Fan Xi stepped forward to contest; Prince also made a move at the same time.

The two surrounded Deron Williams; Deron quickly clutched the ball, fearing a steal, and just as he was about to call a timeout, Prince's hand reached over his embrace, and the two tightly contested together.

Jump ball!

The referee made a call.

Prince was a head taller than Deron Williams and also had a terrifying wingspan.

Both sides took their positions.

The referee blew the whistle.

Both jumped.

Clack!

The basketball was slapped directly to the backcourt by Prince, and Fan Xi shot off like an arrow released from a bow.

He almost hesitated not at all, he grabbed the basketball, completely ignoring the pursuit of Carmelo Anthony and Pierce.

He jumped and shot from two meters outside the three-point line while in high-speed motion……The two defenders didn't react in time.

They never dared to dream that Fan Xi would be this brave.

This is a shooting choice that would be scolded in any training session.

But at this moment, the most strict and old-school Larry Brown of the NBA was watching the court with a satisfied smile.

His expression was like that of a fanboy looking at God.

The basketball flew in a beautiful arc.

Stephen Curry again made a prediction in front of the TV: This shot will definitely go in! Jie Ke went crazy!

Indeed.

Swish!

The basketball cleanly swished through the net.

Fan Xi raised both hands, and Madison Square Garden's volume exploded again!!

Tonight, too many people went home hoarse and unable to speak.

But to them, this game is worth bragging about for a lifetime; even if they end up in wheelchairs, they will tell their grandchildren about it—Jieke Fan's game back then, when he broke the human limit in that scoring battle, I was there on site, and I shouted louder than anyone.

At the scene of the volume explosion, Fan Xi raised both hands.

Pierce and Carmelo, these two top‑NBA forwards, became the foil; their expressions were like they'd spent 5 million buying a lottery ticket, only to get a "Thanks for your patronage, try again".

95 points!!

Many internet homepages began to crash, unable to bear this crazy energy; everyone in the world who could go online was frantically venting their shock.

This put the global internet in a state of full load.

Now, the whole world is awaiting a true miracle.

Can humanity break the 100‑point limit?

Jordan thought: This guy might really be an alien.

On many past nights when Fan Xi created miracles, Jordan never felt this way; he always thought that although Fan Xi's accomplishments were impressive, they weren't as good as his own.

Only tonight did he inwardly admit that Fan Xi was better than him. Although this smooth touch had a luck component, he couldn't be this godly accurate every night… but… he just couldn't do it.

Jordan believed that even if his peak self came to the court where Fan Xi was, he still couldn't accomplish this miracle.

There were still 1 minute 53 seconds left in the game.

He was still 5 points away from 100, and 6 points away from breaking humanity's limit.

Or, put another way, two three‑pointers.

Beep!

The New Jersey Nets requested a timeout.

This was their last timeout.

This was a timeout that would decide the fate of everyone on the team.

This game pushed each of their careers to the brink of a cliff.
