Four Hundred and Nineteen: I Am Preparing to Enter Hollywood.

My stupid Oudou.

How can you smile so confidently?

Fan Xi looked at the triumphant smile on Kobe Bryant's lips, and he couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

After all these years, don’t you, Kobe, still don’t know someone like me? When did I not recover from a desperate situation, and when did I not rise up despite being looked down upon by my opponents? You actually still look at me with the same mindset you had during the Eastern Conference Finals.

well!

Fan Xi took a deep breath.

It feels completely boring.

Kobe Bryant broke through Sprewell's defense. He entered the penalty area, but was interfered by Ratliff. He subconsciously passed the ball to O'Neal... Fanshey rushed over and stole the ball!

Immediately, the Knicks launched a quick offensive.

Fanshie assisted Reggie Miller and hit a 3-pointer.

It was very easy to fight and felt overwhelming.

The Lakers' defense isn't that fast, they're like a hollowed-out giant. With F4, their role players are no longer as capable as they were during the three consecutive championships.

Especially O'Neal, O'Neal's increasing weight has made his flexibility lose its former perversion.

If it were O'Neal in his prime, Fanshie would have no possibility of stealing the ball. He would catch the basketball first, then turn around and dunk... regardless of whether there was a defender behind him.

O'Neal seemed a little angry. He complained that Kobe's passing speed was too slow.

Although Kobe didn't say anything, the look on his face clearly said: It was you who couldn't react well to the ball.

The two people just don't get along with each other.

However, they don't need to be too harmonious.

The Lakers' system is one that allows them to play alone.

The game moves forward with normal logic.

The Lakers rely on O'Neal's singles in the paint and Kobe Bryant's sharpness on the outside.

The Knicks are better at defensive counterattacks and causing damage with speed.

The two sides were tied in the first quarter.

The battle is fierce and the pictures are gorgeous.

David Stern, who was sitting on the sidelines, was super happy. This was the finals he imagined: a good game, enough superstars, and full of gimmicks. Moreover, it is still a war between the two largest cities in the east and west.

If it were the Knicks versus the Lakers every year, David Stern would laugh until he sheds tears.

After the first quarter, we entered the second quarter.

This seems to be common sense.

However, Phil Jackson squinted his eyes. He couldn't understand the Knicks' arrangement. He was very shocked.

The Knicks actually made a four-up and four-down layout in the finals, and continued to put Fansheed on the court, who was very limited in physical fitness in the Eastern Conference finals.

Fansheed, Grant Hill, Anthony Mason, Juwan Howard, and Mutombo formed a new lineup.

Judging from this posture, the Knicks are equivalent to giving up their fast attack that was pretty good in the first quarter.

Why do they do this?

Phil Jackson looked at the Knicks bench, and what he saw was Isiah Thomas posing on the sidelines. He let reporters take photos of him directing on the spot, and inadvertently revealed his diamond-encrusted Patek Philippe.

This doesn't look like Thomas's handiwork.

Phil Jackson said this, could it be that...the Knicks want to ease Fanshie's physical strength in this way?

They deliberately created the illusion of letting Fan Xi play more. In fact, they used other players to switch their playing styles and allow Fan Xi to rest during the battle.

When Phil Jackson watched Anthony Mason knock Fox away with the ball, rush into the penalty area and continue to beat Cook with his back, then passed to Grant Hill for a layup.

He made up his mind.

Yes, that's it.

As expected of the cunning Jack Fan.

Phil Jackson thought with lingering fear...

However, I am on the sixth floor this time.

Jackson quickly gave new instructions, still flanking Fan Xi, and still guarding Fan Xi tightly. Even if he didn't hold the ball, he still had to let him feel the charm of confrontation.

The most dangerous person in the Knicks is Fan Xi, as long as Fan Xi is locked up.

The other players have nothing to fear.

However, the Knicks took a completely different approach at this time.

The Knicks players were very harsh on the Lakers' bench players, not allowing them to participate in the offense and guarding them tightly.

So, the game in the second quarter became.

The Knicks' role players battled the Lakers' OK combination.

For the Lakers, Kobe and O'Neal played together.

The Knicks did have Anthony Mason, Juwan Howard, Grant Hill, and Mutombo enter the state and score various points.

Fanci ran all over the court, focusing on guarding Gary Payton on the defensive end. On the offensive end, he kept running to attract the Lakers' defense.

The game ended in two quarters.

Still a tie.

Enter the locker room.

Kobe Bryant seemed to have noticed something was wrong, and he tried to analyze it with Phil Jackson. He said that something was very wrong with Jack tonight. Jack had always been a very smart person, and he never acted in an obvious way, but he was so deliberately evasive tonight. Is there a conspiracy?

Phil Jackson frowned. He was dissatisfied with Kobe Bryant's doubts, especially Kobe's praise of Fan Xi. He was unhappy: Is Jack Fan the only smart person in the world? How old is he? He's a player, how far can he see?

His physical shortcomings are real.

As long as you grasp this point, you will never make a mistake.

Is it possible that Jack can still push his physical strength to the extreme in just ten days?

Phil Jackson stopped Kobe from continuing to speak.

He asked O'Neal how he was feeling.

O'Neal said that the Knicks have too many inside players. They take turns and use the crowd tactics, which is really difficult to deal with.

Anthony Mason, Mutombo and Ratliff are all old rivals, but they are all very difficult to deal with.

If only Karl Malone were still here.

O'Neal misses Malone very much.

Phil Jackson said that he should overcome it and give the Knicks a big surprise.

…

The fan girls in the glass room also said they would give Fan Xi a big surprise.

When they appeared here, they became the second 'court' of Madison Garden. Many people raised their heads to observe this group of female stars competing for beauty, and gossip reporters also wanted to get some clues from them. .

"Should we prepare a grand championship gift for Jack to show the unity of their big family?"

As the elder of the family, Madonna made this suggestion.

Then, we got a collective response from everyone.

Fan Le sat nearby and looked at the group of nieces and nephews.

His expression was full of jealousy, and he realized that the gap between himself and his nephew was quickly widening. We both grew up eating meat buns, so how come he can have both sides, but I can...

Fanle still misses Cleveland sometimes, especially as the Cavaliers become more famous with the addition of LeBron James.

They were enjoying themselves happily in the glass room, but outside they thought they were relieved.

Some fans even lamented there.

Men should not be too showy. Although they may look cool, they will still be alone when they get to the door of marriage.

Some fans may even sympathize with Fanshie.

I think it would have been great if Fan Xi had stayed together, just like his uncle and aunt, who would have become the most famous husband and wife team in the United States.

…

In the Knicks locker room, Reggie Miller also used his experience to tell Fanci: "Jack, generally speaking, as long as love fails, the court will be proud. Today, so many of your ex-girlfriends came to the court to show off their horses, I think You can tell them with victory that you live a more comfortable life without them.”

"And, thankfully, the people you broke up with were old women. Britney Spears and Jessica Alba are still with you."

Reggie Miller posted his scumbag quote: "No girl is 20 forever, but there are always 20-year-old girls."

Fan Xi smiled helplessly at him.

He has decided not to invite Reggie Miller to his wedding, if there is one.

Grant Hill is a gentleman, and a gentleman is someone who doesn't believe in this nonsense.

He said to Fan Xi: "Jack, this is the beginning of your rebirth. If there is any girl who is willing to stay with you now, she is your true love."

Fanxi said: "Why don't we discuss basketball? Today is the finals."

…

The second half of the finals started on time.

The Knicks have a new lineup again, this time with Fansheed, Madman, Grant Hill, Juwan Howard and Ratliff.

The Knicks' offensive rhythm picked up again.

Moreover, the Knicks strengthened the connection severing operation between Kobe and O'Neal.

Fanshie also entered the attack mode. He kept entering the paint area to cause damage. The Knicks' scores continued to increase, while the Lakers' offense was intermittent.

The vague connection between Kobe Bryant and O'Neal completely stopped.

The problems accumulated in the first half were also highlighted...The Knicks have been oppressing the Lakers' role players.

This forced Kobe Bryant into one-on-one mode.

End of the third quarter.

The Knicks lead by 5 points.

At the beginning of the fourth quarter, Fanxi was still on the court.

And, he started dueling with Kobe Bryant.

Phil Jackson was extremely happy at the time. He felt that Fan Xi had entered the trap that he had designed.

However, Fan Xi's physical exhaustion that he was waiting for never came, and he fought with Kobe in a lively duel. Moreover, Kobe's offensive efficiency dropped visibly under his defense... In today's league, no one understands Kobe better than Fanci.

After Kobe's offensive efficiency declined, O'Neal's work in the penalty area also became difficult.

He lost an important passing lane. And the Knicks insiders began to foul frequently. When he seized the basketball and got a great opportunity, someone would always fly on him and hug him.

O'Neal's offensive rhythm was disrupted.

The Lakers once entered a scoring drought.

They had no other players to step up and Gary Payton was dominated by Sprewell.

The Lakers trailed by 13 points with 3 minutes left in the game.

At this time, Fan Xi finally appeared to be holding his knees and gasping for air.

Phil Jackson was very happy and quickly directed Kobe to play singles.

However, Kobe's efficiency was not high. Fanshie showed amazing "willpower" and he could still make Kobe's offense sluggish.

The Lakers ultimately lost the game.

Phil Jackson was not as sad as he imagined.

Because he knew that he had found Fan Xi's bottom, and he knew where Fan Xi's physical limit was.

In the second game, he had to make more targeted arrangements. He wanted Fan Xi to enter the period of physical exhaustion faster and not give this guy with amazing willpower a chance to last until the end.

Once Fan Xi collapses on the court from exhaustion, the balance of the series will always tilt toward the Lakers.

Jackson thought so.

After the game, Kobe suggested: Should we restrict the Knicks' group of role players, and they were all superstars before.

But Phil Jackson refused: "You also said that they were former superstars. What can they do? The top priority is to block Jack Fan. As long as he is blocked and forced to look like he was at the last moment of the Eastern Conference Finals, we will It’s a sure win because we’ll never make the mistakes that the Pistons did.”

Phil Jackson is determined.

As a top coach and the creator of a dynasty, he has his own tactical theory.

Kobe had no choice but to give up.

After the game, Phil Jackson told the media easily: "The Knicks are number one in the regular season. Losing a home court will not affect our morale. This is a series, and it is nothing more than them winning one game first."

"This is so normal."

The Zen master said leisurely and contentedly.

Having the OK combination in hand is equivalent to holding two big killers. Why should we be afraid of the Knicks?

The Knicks scored 99 points in this game.

But Fanshie only had 21 points, 10 assists and 6 rebounds, and his statistics were worse than O'Neal and Kobe.

It would be a fool's errand for the Knicks to win with that group of role players.

The finals are always a stage for superstars.

This is the truth.

Just as the world now believes that the female celebrities who flocked to Madison Square Garden have severed ties with Fanci, this is also a logical truth.

…

Vansh is asked this question.

Fan Xi said awkwardly: "Isn't there an answer on that glass house? An exclusive box for Jack Fan's friends."

friend?

The media immediately published a confirmation article, saying that Fan Xi confirmed that he and all the rumored girlfriends had returned to ordinary friends.

This sounds like big news.

Fan Xi didn't care.

He even enjoyed performing in front of the media. He told reporters: "The top priority this summer is to quickly sign a point guard in the free market."

He also asked reporters, are there any point guards worthy of attention in this year's draft?

The reporter told him that this year is a small year for the draft, and there are not many point guards participating.

Fan Xi immediately made a regretful expression.

Then, another reporter asked him: Jack, are you worried about your physical fitness? Do you think your fitness will affect this series?

"Of course not." Fan Xi made a firm expression and said, "No matter when or where I am, my physical fitness will not be a thing that I worry about."

"What about the Eastern Conference finals? You looked almost comatose at that time." ESPN reporter asked.

As expected, Fan Xi's expression froze and she looked unnatural.

Then he said righteously: "I was just pretending, I was just preparing to enter Hollywood."

Ha ha ha ha.

There was hearty laughter at the scene.

Just like the diners in the tavern laughing at Kong Yiji, the atmosphere is full of joy.
