Four Hundred and Twenty-Eight: God Will Kill All Who Stand in Your Way, Satan Appears

55 seconds before the end of the game, Fan Xi came to the top of the arc with the ball.

At this time, the fans of Staples Center dared not make any more noise. They had been shouting to kill Jack Fan before.

Now, they just hope not to anger Fan Xi.

They prayed to God quietly, asking God to deal with this Satan wearing a Knicks jersey.

Kobe was more alert than ever. This fighting maniac stood in front of Fan Xi, and his body was shaking slightly.

His physical strength was no longer sufficient.

He felt that Fan Xi, who had been dealing with him for ten years, was extremely unfamiliar. He couldn't believe that Fan Xi was so powerful tonight.

He almost won every duel with Fan Xi.

But tonight, he almost didn't defend any of Fan Xi's attacks.

Fan Xi had too many means in the full-court attack mode.

Fan Xi used real data to tell Kobe: How big is the gap between the first outside player and the first active shooting guard.

Fan Xi launched an attack 52 seconds before the end of the game.

His rhythm is neither impatient nor waiting for the opportunity. He has been in his own mode tonight.

No one can shake him.

The first step taken by Fan Xi is full of explosive power and strong force. He broke through the defense line just like before.

Gary Payton quickly double-teamed him. He did not hesitate at all and showed all his skills.

He knew that if he could not stop Fan Xi tonight, he would have no chance next time.

Once Fan Xi became a god, the league would be in a state of no peace for him.

He had experienced the darkness of the Jordan era.

He knew how difficult it was to resist the rule of a god.

Gary Payton had no way out.

But his double-team was still a little slow. He was no longer the crazy defensive warrior of the year.

People drift in the rivers and lakes, and time makes people old.

When Fan Xi entered the free throw line one step, Karl Malone made up for it.

Malone was even more determined than Gary Payton.

Malone's experience was even more miserable than Gary Payton. He was on the front line against Jordan for a long time. He was the biggest tragedy of the Jordan era.

But this time, Fan Xi stopped in front of him, just like before.

He watched Fan Xi fly higher and higher, he jumped madly, but he couldn't touch the basketball in front of him.

Fan Xi threw the basketball.

Swish!

The basketball entered the basket.

This is a very difficult shot.

In the past, Fan Xi couldn't make the shot.

But tonight, he gambled on this tiny probability.

He wanted to build super god confidence.

The hit of the basketball made him wave his fist vigorously.

This was his 58th point in this game.

Fan Xi built up strong self-confidence, and he looked around with fierce eyes.

He was like the god of basketball inspecting his territory.

Although he was in front of the four NBA superstars, Shaquille O'Neal was even the last ruler of the NBA.

But his eyes clearly told them: What I want, no one can stop it.

Shaquille O'Neal and others naturally built a strong counterattack.

But Fan Xi had a proud face.

Phil Jackson requested a timeout with 48 seconds left in the game.

He was going to make the last systematic tactical arrangement and arrange the counterattack at the last moment.

Now the Lakers were 2 points behind, and everything was still under control.

…

"I can't imagine how famous Jack will be after the Lakers lost this game. He will really become the biggest basketball legend since Jordan."

Allen Iverson said in horror: "People used to say that Jack was the NBA superstar who had hooked up with many female stars, but after this game, people will say that Jack is the strongest basketball player in the world."

All the way from Hampton, Virginia, Allen Iverson could never have imagined that the thin brother who followed behind him would reach such a glorious height.

Even a height that he could not reach.

Iverson couldn't help but think of the sultry summer when he was young, on the second floor of the Fanle Roujiamo restaurant, two teenagers, one yellow and one black, watched the TV screen with snow on it, watching Michael Jordan on TV. "One day I can become such a player."

"One day, I will surpass him."

At that time, even the God of Destiny would not take these two sentences seriously.

But time is a wonderful thing.

Allen Iverson is already a historical superstar in the NBA, and his name must appear in any history of basketball.

And Fan Xi is creating a greater career. After seven years of silence in Los Angeles, the timeline is once again adjusted to a mode with him as the protagonist.

He will enter his greatest career in Los Angeles.

The promise he once made: surpass Jordan.

"My father is really great."

LeBron James said very moved: "If I can surpass him one day, how great would it be?"

After LeBron James said this, Stephen Curry on the side said to him: "LeBron, why don't you wear your father's jersey, but choose to wear Michael Jordan's number? If I enter the NBA in the future, I will wear No. 30. I want to be a believer of the Godfather."

Little Curry said solemnly.

His words made Marbury, who was in a complicated mood, turn his head back.

Marbury never thought that Fan Xi could surpass him so much. Fan Xi's performance tonight made him feel mixed emotions.

So, he said to Curry: "I think it's difficult for you to enter the NBA. Your physical condition is too poor."

This made Curry very sad.

But Iverson encouraged him: "Stephen, don't be sad. Your godfather's physical fitness was worse than yours, but he still relied on acquired efforts to become what he is today. The four talented people on the Lakers can't stop him. I believe you can do it too."

Iverson's encouragement gave Curry confidence.

At this time, the TV camera gave the Lakers bench, and the four Lakers superstars burst into a loud roar at the same time.

The roar that penetrated the screen made people feel refreshed.

This is the presentation of the Lakers' true willpower.

All the viewers in front of the TV felt their desire to win.

But in the eyes of the audience, this was the burst of lawful power.

What people want to see more is Fan Xi's killing of them.

The camera switched to the Knicks very skillfully.

Compared with the Lakers' morale explosion.

Fan Xi walked towards the court calmly, including his teammates behind him.

However, everyone could feel the surging power behind their calmness, the power to overturn everything.

This is the final struggle.

This is the Normandy Landing of the NBA.

…

The 48th second.

Gary Payton received the basketball, and in the countdown time, he quickly dribbled the ball to the front court, and the madman pressed him madly.

He passed the basketball to Kobe.

Fan Xi let go a step.

He bet on Kobe's shot.

Kobe didn't do that. Kobe's approach was beyond Fan Xi's imagination. He called for Karl Malone's pick-and-roll.

He called it on his own initiative.

The history that happened to him was that he once asked Karl Malone, who took the initiative to cover him, to get out of the way in the All-Star Game.

This is Kobe's change.

It's not because his character has changed.

But Fan Xi forced him to change.

Words can't teach humans.

Lessons can.

Kobe passed Van Hey through Karl Malone's screen, and at the moment when Juwan Howard came up to defend, he passed the ball to O'Neal.

This was a clever pass, which secretly avoided all defenses and passed it to O'Neal's comfortable position.

O'Neal received the ball and turned around, threw Ratliff aside, then he jumped up and dunked the ball into the basket.

Tie.

There were 39 seconds left.

…

The Knicks did not request a timeout.

The two Knicks coaches watched from the sidelines, and they knew very well that this was Van Hey's game.

Charles Barkley said that Van Hey would definitely get 60 points.

With his hot hand tonight.

At the 35th second, Van Hey came to the top of the arc of the front three-point line with the ball.

It was Gary Payton who came up to defend.

The arrogant Kobe Bryant no longer sought a personal duel victory with Van Hey.

He accepted the fact that he was not as skilled as others.

This was a devastating character reconstruction for Kobe.

It can be seen that Fan Xi really pushed the Lakers to the edge of the cliff this time.

In the 32nd second, Fan Xi broke through Gary Payton's defense.

Gary Payton didn't even have time to react.

After Fan Xi passed Payton, he rushed straight into the penalty area.

Karl Malone watched Fan Xi rush in aggressively, and he made the most decisive decision.

He stood straight in the path that Fan Xi had to pass, and he wanted to give Fan Xi an offensive foul.

He knew that if Fan Xi knocked him over, he would most likely have a recurrence of his old injury.

But he didn't hesitate at all.

His expression was calm, as if he had made an inconspicuous decision.

However, just as Fan Xi was rushing towards him, Fan Xi passed the basketball in a very secretive manner, Juwan Howard received the basketball, he was open, Kobe flew over, but a little late.

Swish!

Juwan Howard scored the most important goal in his career.

He roared excitedly.

He finally washed away the shame beside Fan Xi.

He had been humiliated by Fan Xi before, but now he has completed a strong redemption.

He can brag about this shot for the rest of his life.

The Knicks are leading by 2 points again.

There are 27 seconds left in the game.

The Lakers have the ball.

The Lakers have no timeouts.

Gary Payton brought the ball to the frontcourt, and Phil Jackson had already stood up. He shouted tactics loudly on the sidelines, like an aunt in the vegetable market.

And he was changing madly.

He asked the players to follow his thinking, and he knew he had to do it.

He had no way out.

The fans at the scene did not dare to speak out.

They had already entered a state of concentration.

Gary Payton did not lock the time, because the madman had already been pressing the whole court.

After halftime, he gave the basketball to Kobe.

Kobe made a foul move, and he had no chance to escape Fan Xi's defense.

He pushed Fan Xi.

But the referee pretended not to see it.

In fact, this is the unspoken rule of the NBA. At the critical moment, no one wants to be the big villain.

Some minor fouls were easily passed by them.

After Kobe received the ball, Van Xi took another step back.

He waited for Kobe to waste time.

He knew that even if the Lakers used up all the time, they would not be able to stop the Knicks' final attack.

Kobe consumed the time until the 15th second.

Then, Van Xi suddenly pressed forward.

At this moment, Kobe stepped in.

Karl Malone ran over to cover again, he bypassed Van Xi, and circled, and returned to the three-point line again. When he made a shooting gesture, Grant Hill rushed over.

Kobe made an amazing move, he passed the basketball to Fox in the bottom corner.

When Van Xi flew over, it was too late.

No one would have thought that Kobe would have such awareness.

But he did it.

Fox, the guy who had performed mediocrely throughout the series, threw the basketball out.

Swish!

Into the basket.

There were only 8.6 seconds left in the game.

The Lakers overtook by 1 point.

The entire Staples Center finally erupted at this moment.

Their long-suppressed emotions were vented with this three-pointer.

However, the Lakers players on the court did not take it lightly.

The Knicks requested a timeout.

…

"The Knicks only need to score one goal to win."

Marbury said something nonsense.

Then, he continued: "Let's guess who will take the last shot for the Knicks."

His question is exactly the same as the one Charles Barkley asked on TV.

Kenny Smith said as a matter of course: It must be Jack Fan.

Ben Wallace also thinks so.

LeBron certainly believes in his father.

So does Stephen Curry.

But at this time, Iverson proposed a different idea: "If everyone thinks it is Jack, then will it really be him?"

"You can't underestimate Jack's wisdom. He has always been playing with other people's IQ, not being guessed by others."

Allen Iverson said thoughtfully.

When he said this, Marbury and others thought it was very possible.

Kobe Bryant is Fan Xi's friend.

He and Allen Iverson know Fan Xi as well, so he said: "I don't think Jack will deliberately pursue breaking the shackles of 60 points. He is always unexpected."

This sentence gave Phil Jackson something to think about.

Phil Jackson couldn't figure out Van Hee's wisdom, and he couldn't give a final solution.

He could only arrange each player to lock down their defensive targets like crazy.

And give the players a boost.

At the critical moment, sometimes it's all about morale, concentration, and luck.

…

TNT's camera swept across the Knicks' bench. The Knicks were very calm. Van Hee was holding the tactical board and talking quietly. He made sure everyone understood what he meant.

Then, the whistle sounded.

Players from both sides walked onto the court.

The Knicks made an amazing decision.

Van Hee, Sprewell, Reggie Miller, Grant Hill, and Stephen Jackson walked onto the court.

Five outside players, no inside player.

What was going on?

Phil Jackson was confused.

This was a little unexpected for him. The Knicks were so adventurous. Did they completely give up rebounds?

So, who should they defend?

And how should Shaquille O'Neal and Karl Malone run?

Before the whistle sounded, the Lakers fell into a passive position.

What was even more unexpected was that Fan Xi served the ball from outside the court.

…
