Chapter 75: Jack, You Will Never Drive a Ferrari

Selena dressed very elegantly tonight, with a simple white base shirt and a black Chanel small jacket, paired with this year's Versace spring jeans and a pair of limited edition AJ black and red "Banned", very fresh like a neighbor's little girl, which was extremely consistent with her identity as America's little sweetheart.

Compared to Selena who dressed like a high school campus belle, Scarlett Johansson's screen image had always been known for being sexy. She wore the luxury fur most loved by Hollywood female stars, and inside was a black, very tight-fitting dress that highlighted her figure, and the length of the skirt was just at the distance of one-half of her thigh... on the dividing line between sexy and coquettish.

Fan Xi felt a headache about Selena's arrival. His relationship with Selena had always been a secret he kept in his heart. He still remembered the chaos that night vividly, and seeing Selena always reminded him of some pictures that made his mouth dry.

Kevin Durant was very excited. He waved his hand exaggeratedly at Scarlett to say hello. Scarlett smiled and nodded at him with a very ladylike amplitude.

He hurriedly ran over.

The whole world knew Kevin Durant wanted to drink Scarlett's bathwater.

According to reason, although Scarlett Johansson was a quasi-first-line female star in Hollywood and was known for her beauty. But for a superstar of Kevin Durant's level, he didn't need to be so fawning at all.

In the American social circle, the status of NBA superstars is very high. Strictly speaking, with Kevin Durant's age, ball skills, commercial value, and future potential, he is slightly higher than Scarlett by half a level.

But....

"This guy will never win a victory in this relationship." Westbrook walked over and said to Fan Xi: "He is simply like a pug."

Fan Xi looked at Westbrook and smiled. Westbrook's nickname in China is Young Master Wei, because his playing style is unscrupulous and he is a famous star at a young age. He and Durant are the signboards of the Thunder.

"What about you? Don't you want to find a female star?" Fan Xi teased him.

Westbrook kissed his ring finger and said: "I have a fiancée. We knew each other very early. She is a member of the U women's basketball team. When she graduates, we will get married."

When Young Master Wei talked about his fiancée, his eyes were full of sweetness.

Although Young Master Wei looked rude, like the Ninja Turtle in the cartoon, his love... was very beautiful.

The vast majority of NBA players go bad after having money. Westbrook is one of the few who is loyal.

This has to do with his personality, he is a basketball idiot. Although many people say he is reckless on the court and doesn't pass the ball, he is indeed pouring most of his enthusiasm and energy into basketball.

When Fan Xi and Westbrook were chatting, Chris Paul on the sidelines found Paul Pierce. He said to Pierce: "What do you think of your opponent Jack Fan tonight?"

"Him?" Pierce didn't know why Paul suddenly mentioned Fan Xi's name, but as a superstar, he said in a tone of indifference: "That Lakers rookie? The guy who won Rookie of the Year yesterday? Isn't he here to make up the numbers?"

Pierce looked extremely indifferent.

Chris Paul smiled and said: "Then you have to be careful. This guy is the Miracle Child of the basketball world now. If you are not careful, you will be used as a stepping stone by him. If he, a Lakers guard, presses you and Ray Allen, two Celtics players, to win the Three-Point King, the Los Angeles media will definitely brag about it. You are historical enemies."

Paul said this without a trace.

Pierce immediately put away the contempt on his face, and he began to wait in full battle array, practicing three-pointers quietly.

"Jack, it's a deal. We will have dinner together tonight. After the game, the four of us will go together." Kevin Durant ran back full of joy and said to Fan Xi.

Fan Xi widened his eyes and looked at Durant in disbelief: "I don't have time tonight."

Durant reached out and hugged his shoulder: "Jack, no matter how important things you have tonight, you must go on a date with me. You know, this is my first intimate contact with my goddess, I must not waste this opportunity."

"You can date alone." Fan Xi asked Durant back.

Durant was anxious. He said, I just want the four of us to play together, anyway you must go.

Saying this, he didn't wait for Fan Xi to answer, and ran to the side to practice shooting, acting like a child playing shamelessly.

Fan Xi looked helplessly at the two female stars over there. Selena, who was dressed purely, winked at him secretly and made a heart shape with her right hand.

Damn it.

Fan Xi felt his DNA moving.

He hurriedly turned his head and shot.

The Three-Point Contest is the first project of the three major contests.

At 7:30 in the evening, the attendance rate of the Staples Center reached its peak, and then some stars who came to participate in the All-Star Weekend walked to the sidelines to watch the game, and the atmosphere of the game became heated.

The Three-Point Contest was served as the appetizer for tonight.

The six players this year are Durant, James Jones, Ray Allen, Fan Xi, Daniel Gibson, and Paul Pierce.

The rules of the NBA Three-Point Contest are that the contestant who gets the most points in one minute is the winner. There are 5 shooting points in total, two symmetrical at the bottom corners, two symmetrical at 45-degree angles, and another at the arc top. Each shooting point has 5 balls, of which the orange ball is one point, and the last flower ball (red, blue, white) is 2 points. The flower ball is called "moneyball", and the full score is 30 points.

The game is divided into two rounds. The first round determines the three winners to enter the second round, and the second round determines the player with the most points.

In previous training, Fan Xi could hit about 20 in one minute roughly.

Because his feel was continued from Reggie Miller, very smooth. Plus, he and Stephen Curry studied a unique one-stage jump shot, which is very suitable for fast shooting competitions.

Curry's research on this kind of shooting has reached an unprecedented level, so he can easily complete it in actual combat.

Fan Xi is still lacking in actual combat, but in training, he is both fast and accurate.

While waiting for the game, Kobe Bryant said to Fan Xi: "Jack, if you win the Three-Point Contest champion tonight, I will give you a car."

Fan Xi was suddenly flattered.

But he always felt that he didn't deserve it, and, the 50,000 US dollars reward he got last night was enough to buy a luxury car. If he really got the Three-Point King tonight, he would get another 20,000 US dollars reward, which does not need to be taxed, which is an extra income.

But before he had time to speak, Paul Pierce on the side said to Kobe: "Wake up, Kobe. You didn't intend to give this kid a car at all, because you know he can't beat me and Ray Allen at all."

"You Lakers have always been losers in front of Boston. Don't forget 08, how I conquered this court."

Paul Pierce poked Kobe's sore spot.

Paul Pierce respected Kobe's status on the court on the one hand, but on the other hand, he felt he was stronger than Kobe. After he defeated Kobe and the Lakers to win the championship in 08, he called himself the world's number one.

And Kobe, after that failure in the finals, gritted his teeth and said a very famous sentence "Second place is the biggest loser", and then won two championship trophies in 09 and 10, and also defeated the Celtics led by Pierce in the seventh game in 10, successfully taking revenge.

However, Pierce always thought that the failure in the finals last season was because of the referee's bias, otherwise the Celtics could not have lost.

Now, he mentioned the things of 2008 in front of Kobe, which is no less than a frontal provocation.

Kobe immediately took out a Ferrari key from his pocket. This was the car he bought not long ago. He said to Fan Xi: "Jack, as long as you fix the two annoying ghosts of Boston, this car is yours."

Kobe was hot-blooded.

Although they were all NBA stars, for them, this luxury sports car with a price of more than 200,000 US dollars was still a luxury item of great value.

Interestingly, ESPN's live camera took this scene and broadcast it live to thousands of households across the United States.

Originally, this was just a plain Three-Point Contest.

However, because of Kobe Bryant's generous shot, it immediately became full of stimulation.

After all, humans are gamblers, adrenaline determines that humans like stimulation, and are full of curiosity about unknown results.

"Will Jack get this Ferrari sports car? Can he beat Paul Pierce and Ray Allen?" Host Earl Johnson asked Reggie Miller, a three-point expert sitting next to him, in surprise.

Reggie Miller had expressed his love for Fan Xi in previous live games without covering up.

He said: "This is hard to say. Jack's three-pointers in actual combat are quite good. However, this kind of competition has very high requirements for psychological quality. I don't know if Jack can withstand the pressure under this temptation. Obviously, Paul Pierce and Ray Allen have more experience. Pierce has always been a big-hearted player, and Ray Allen is known for his shooting."

"However, they are not without shortcomings. Pierce's three-pointers have always been unstable, and Ray Allen is a classic three-point shooter, and he has obsessive-compulsive disorder. He always pursues the perfection of shooting and the consistency of posture. This will delay a lot of time."

Reggie Miller started from a professional perspective, and finally he sighed: "I really hope Jack's miracle can continue like this. To be honest, watching him come all the way, I have a sense of stimulation and tension like watching a Hollywood legendary movie."

Miller said what all the audience in front of the TV thought.

American audiences all thought so, which is why many housewives stayed in front of the TV to watch a game that was boring to them.

Chinese audiences also knew the content of Kobe and Pierce's conversation through the host's translation.

Everyone was surprised, and began to cheer for Fan Xi extra, hoping that he could really help the Lakers suppress the arrogant Pierce, and by the way, take away Kobe's Ferrari.

That's a Ferrari.

Which man doesn't want to own a Ferrari?

Not only the adrenaline of the audience in front of the TV was mobilized, but the players on the sidelines, especially the participating players, were all greatly affected.

Except for Ray Allen, Pierce, and Kevin Durant who was thinking about dating tonight, the other two, Dennis Gibson and James Jones, all dreamed of getting a Ferrari. They were role players in the league. With their salary, they could indeed afford it, but... it would be relatively difficult to buy. If they could get one for free, who wouldn't want to?

Kevin Durant was the first player to appear.

He was completely unaffected by this.

Because he was not short of money, he was the first player to enjoy the "Rose Rule" renewal, he got the maximum salary in advance, and his shoe endorsement fee was a little higher than Kobe's, so a Ferrari could not stimulate his mood.

He just kept thinking about Scarlett Johansson.

Imagining some pictures of drinking bathwater.

This made his level completely gone. This youngest scoring king in history was dizzy by the love he imagined.

After 1 minute, the sound of hitting the iron was like his heart, bumping like a deer.

In the end, out of 24 balls, he only hit 3, all 3 were flower balls, getting 6 points.

Definitely missed the second round.

When he went down, he was still very happy, raising his hands high, not ashamed but proud. Disappointed in the court, proud in the court.

Reggie Miller teased him on TV: "Kevin Durant proved one thing again, the scoring king often can't get the three-point king. When Michael Jordan participated in the Three-Point Contest back then, he only got 9 points."

Miller liked to "mock" his old rival Jordan across the air. After all, it was that old rogue who harmed him and never won a championship in his life. He was the fifth biggest victim of the Jordan era, and the first four were: Ewing, Malone, Stockton, Barkley.

Next up was James Jones.

James Jones withstood the pressure, and he scored 18 points.

It was a good score.

Then it was Ray Allen.

When Ray Allen went up, Paul Pierce specifically walked over and high-fived him to cheer him on.

This scene was broadcast on TV, and there were immediately different emotions stirring.

After all, they were the key factors in that bet. The competition between the Celtics and the Lakers has a long history.

Many viewers in front of the TV were praying that this current NBA No. 1 shooter would not be too accurate.

If he got 19 points, Jack's pressure would be great.

TV viewers could substitute into Fan Xi's perspective. They hoped Fan Xi would win and hoped Fan Xi would drive a Ferrari with one hand.

After all, there were already many photos of little Fan Xi living in ordinary apartments and taking taxis to the arena on the Internet.

On the one hand, everyone thought little Jack was very grounded. But on the other hand, they felt sorry for Fan Xi. Why couldn't an excellent superstar like Fan Xi live in a luxury house and drive a luxury car?

Swish!

Swish!

Swish!

Ray Allen had already outputted stably, and the first three shots were all in. His feel was very good, he was a real big-hearted shooter.

After a series of bead-like shots, the first point was all in.

The second point was all in again.

The third point missed the flower ball.

The fourth missed two balls.

He ran to the fifth point and just threw the first ball, and the one-minute time ended.

However, it didn't matter anymore.

He got 19 points.

He was the first place now.

The pressure was all on Fan Xi.

When Ray Allen went down, Paul Pierce excitedly rushed over and bumped his chest with Ray Allen, right in front of Fan Xi.

Very proud.

Giving Fan Xi enough pressure.

"Jack, you will never drive a Ferrari."

Paul Pierce shouted at Fan Xi excitedly.
