Four Hundred and Thirty: The Vast Ocean of People

Michael Jordan was telling the truth.

When you have a 3:0, people will only look forward to a 4:0.

This is determined by human nature.

People's expectations for the Knicks have been raised to an incredible level. The super-large triple-double created by Van Xi in the last game and his deeds of single-handedly killing four superstars have been spread all over the world.

It has been described as a super miracle in the history of sports.

It is equivalent to a person scoring 5 goals in a row and 2 assists in the World Cup finals to defeat the super-strong team Brazil.

Van Xi's reputation has gone out of the circle.

And it is in the name of basketball.

Under the powerful offensive of the media, even the old, weak, women and children have understood that Jack Fan, a Chinese, has become the most powerful superstar in the NBA.

David Stern cooperated with this publicity, although it exceeded his expectations.

He originally thought that the Lakers might still win the championship this year, but he didn't expect Van Xi to gallop all the way and directly kill to the throne, and dominated the playoffs with a rare 15:0.

And with his super personal strength, the F4 of the Lakers trembled in front of him.

When Fan Xi's name was chanted repeatedly.

The bad news of the Lakers continued to come, and Karl Malone announced that he was out for the season again.

This time it was really out for the season.

He played the whole second half of the last game, and he did it with a blockade.

If he helped the Lakers win, he would get high praise.

But he didn't do it in the end.

So, people just whispered there: Is it worth it to do this?

In competitive sports, victory is justice.

Karl Malone did not win the game, and his blockade that hurt his body was equivalent to a waste of time. When people talked about him, they could only say softly... It's a pity, who made him meet Jack Fan.

This time, Karl Malone can no longer bring new surprises to the Lakers. It is really impossible for him to return to the court.

His aging body has accumulated many old injuries, and the blockade is very likely to make him retire with regret.

This is the cruelty of professional sports.

As the biggest victim of the Jordan era, Karl Malone continued his sadness to the upcoming Jack Fan era.

Reggie Miller could understand Karl Malone's thoughts at this time. He was a person who came from the last era: the rise of a ruler will inevitably lead to the fall of many heroes.

The difference between Miller and Karl Malone is that fate made him stand on Van Xi's side.

…

Kobe Bryant and Shaquille O'Neal met again. They did not sit and wait for death. They held a press conference in the training hall.

They held hands tightly in front of the camera.

Shaquille O'Neal said that he would never give up his era to others.

Kobe Bryant said that he would do his best to assist Shaquille O'Neal.

The two were forced into a corner by Van Xi, and then they began to truly unite.

This press conference was filled with a strong sense of sadness from top to bottom, and there was an atmosphere of victory for the defeated.

Shaquille O'Neal, the arrogant guy, did not speak out, but said earnestly: The most urgent task is to refuse to be swept.

When the arrogant shark lowered his profile, Van Xi felt the real threat.

So, he and Jessica Alba did not go to the hotel to rest after dinner.

He took the time to watch the game and do tactical deduction.

Prepare for the upcoming fourth game.

Fan Xi's date with Jessica Alba this time did not receive crazy ridicule from the Los Angeles media, and they dared not make any comparisons anymore.

In the last game, Fan Xi defeated the Lakers on his own.

It seems that decadence and unity cannot be directly linked to the results of the game.

So, Fan Xi's date this time was even modified by the media.

Many people say that Fan Xi is combining work and rest.

You see, this is the benefit of the winner.

The so-called, respecting the respected, is true no matter in ancient and modern times, at home and abroad.

Just like Michael Jordan, if he was just an ordinary All-Star player, his bad things would have been quarreled by the gossip media. The mainstream media would not actively protect his identity.

…

Allen Iverson, Ben Wallace, LeBron James, Stephen Marbury, Kevin Garnett, Vince Carter, Stephen Nash and a group of people rushed to Los Angeles.

They came for the fourth game of the finals.

Allen Iverson said presciently: This is likely to be the last finals of the year. From what I know about Jack, he is a person who pursues perfection in everything.

They entered the Staples Center.

They got a box on the high platform through their connections... It's called a box, but it's actually a temporary partition that was used for media broadcasts.

Regardless of the final result of this game, the ticket sales for this game reached an incredible height.

Although the Lakers lost the third game, they increased the tickets for the fourth game. And they also sold expensive finals support jerseys.

In the vicious words of Stephen Marbury: The Buss family of the Lakers wants to make the last penny.

NBA superstars like Marbury know the truth better than those reporters who claim to be well-informed. They all know that once the Lakers are swept by the Knicks this year.

The OK combination, which has long been full of contradictions, can no longer continue.

Kobe Bryant said at the press conference yesterday that he would assist O'Neal, and it was his last time to bow his head.

If he fails to win even by ‘degrading’ his self-esteem, he will definitely rise up.

The Lakers don’t have many chances left.

Kevin Garnett looked very melancholy. Although his playing style is biased towards the outside in the interior, he really doesn’t want the league to enter an era dominated by outside players again.

But Iverson told him that this is irreversible.

…

Van Xi was silent in the locker room before the game for about three minutes, then he stood up and said to his teammates: “This is the last war.”

When he spoke quietly, a strong storm was set off in the quiet locker room.

The Knicks are not a young team. They have experienced players here. They don’t need stimulating words to stimulate adrenaline, nor do they need to clap their hands to increase their enthusiasm.

When Van Xi made this declaration, their old bodies were already burning.

“For the last war, I don’t want a heroic historical view. I want to bring the game into the vast ocean of the ‘people’. We have to take a completely different path.”

Van Xi continued.

Although his words were a bit awkward.

But they were very easy to understand.

Laoyiot had already laid the foundation in the locker room, and everyone knew clearly what Fan Xi wanted to express.

"We will take off the two superstars of the OK combination from the mortal world, kill them with the power of unity, and announce the arrival of a new era."

Fan Xi finally said.

…

"Give the ball to Kobe, he will launch an offensive, and he will form a perfect tacit understanding with me. We will keep the victory in the City of Angels."

"Glory to Los Angeles!"

Shaquille O'Neal made the final declaration in the locker room.

He and Kobe Bryant established a truly close relationship.

Phil Jackson was very moved, and the day he expected finally came.

Although it came a little late.

But he still had some paranoia in his heart. He felt that the OK combination should not be swept into the garbage dump of history so quickly. He felt that the OK combination could still rule the world.

Although Jack Fan was very strong, his teammates around him were old, weak, sick, and disabled, and those with poor brains and bad tempers might not be able to withstand the severe and cruel test.

This was destined to be a tragic encounter.

All sports channels around the world have turned their cameras to tonight's game. Half an hour before the game started, excited voices in various languages ​​around the world have begun to announce to fans.

Even if they are not fans, they have been swept up by various public opinions. The huge gimmick makes them sit quietly in front of the TV and feel the blood rush that may be unfamiliar.

Beep!

The whistle sounded.

TNT's camera passed over the players on both sides, opening the sense of the epic drama.

In the end, the TV screen was frozen and divided into two parts, with Fan Xi's figure on the left and Kobe and O'Neal's figures on the right.

People naturally think that this is a battle between Fan Xi and the OK combination.

Bang!

Mutombo jumped up.

He jumped higher than any game this season. He defeated Shaquille O'Neal and shot the basketball to Fan Xi.

Fan Xi received the basketball.

He kept the rhythm.

His teammates standing next to him are Sprewell, Reggie Miller, Anthony Mason, and Mutombo.

The Knicks have many players who can play.

Compared to the Lakers' unchanging lineup, the Knicks are more varied.

Van Xi came to the front court, and Kobe Bryant came up with a stern face.

He did not contact Van Xi after the last game.

He was cultivating his "hatred gene", and the look he gave Van Xi now was unfamiliar and sharp.

Van Xi did not play one-on-one with him, but passed the basketball to Sprewell.

Then, he pulled aside and ran.

The madman played one-on-one with Gary Payton.

His strong charge crushed Gary Payton.

Van Xi chose to keep him instead of Alan Houston because he valued his impact with the ball.

He quickly broke through Gary Payton's defense, he came to the paint area, he stopped and jumped, and then shot... Bang!

A little short.

Anthony Mason rushed into the restricted area fiercely, he jumped up, and slapped the basketball out with force.

Van Xi grabbed the rebound quickly.

Then, under Kobe's defense, he passed the basketball to Sprewell again.

Madman played against Payton, Reggie Miller went to screen, and then Madman passed the ball to Miller.

Miller took a jump shot... swish!

He made a high-post shot.

Fan Xi did not participate in the offense at the beginning of the game.

And he gave up his position twice.

This surprised the fans in front of the TV and the commentator.

Fan Xi had just become a god in the last game. No matter from which angle, he should show his dominance.

Charles Barkley didn't understand.

He had a terrible idea: Is Jack Fan injured?

Stephen Marbury also speculated in the stands.

This made James very worried, but Fan Xi was his father.

Allen Iverson was thinking, he said: "Jack Fan may want to make the rich first and the poor rich later."

Hmm?

Everyone was confused by Iverson's words.

Iverson also suddenly remembered the chat between Fan Xi and him many years ago. They were explaining what true strength is. Iverson said that being the only one who is respected and can do whatever he wants is powerful. Fan Xi said, no, the benevolent is invincible.

Then, Fan Xi told him: Heaven and earth are unkind and treat all things as straw dogs.

"I think the meaning of this sentence is that a truly strong person is kind. Even a dog woven from grass can be put on the altar one day. A strong person should become strong whoever he wants to become strong. , everyone around him has the ability to challenge the highest level because of him.”

Iverson has never been able to understand the meaning of Fan Xi's words. After playing the game, Fan Xi really became the strongest player in basketball.

So, now he is fulfilling his declaration back then.

Kobe Bryant challenged Fanci's defense with the ball, and Brian Cook came to cover for him. He found a little space and entered the paint, and then passed to O'Neal in the right position.

O'Neal forcefully pushed Mutombo away. Mutombo stood firm in all positions, but he could not resist O'Neal's strong body.

He was knocked away, O'Neal turned and jumped... Boom!

He completed the dunk.

Everything is no different from 2001.

"Mutombo is still the same as before. He can't defend O'Neal alone." Garnett said regretfully in the stands: "Sometimes, talent is really too important."

He looked at the big screen above his head, his eyes full of regret.

"No!"

Iverson shook his head and said: "Mutombo is different from 2001. Although his physical fitness is worse than before. However, his fighting will is rising. Did you see it? At the last moment, he was clearly beaten. Knocked out of bounds, but he still reached the baseline when he couldn't block the dunk."

The most important thing for a defensive player is to guard his bottom line.

Mutombo did so, albeit in vain.

But if he does this, sooner or later he will succeed.

Back to halftime.

Fanshi dribbled the ball at the top of the arc and waited for Kobe Bryant to come. When Kobe took a sufficient posture to defend Fanshi, his eyes were blazing to challenge this close friend who had just become a god.

Fancy passed the basketball to Madman Sprewell, who then ran.

His eyes were calm and he acted like an ordinary point guard.

Phil Jackson couldn't figure out the details at all.

He even wanted to use Gary Payton to defend Fan Xi, but he was afraid that this was Fan Xi's conspiracy... Fan Xi had always been a scheming person in his heart, and he had already suffered too much from Fan Xi.

The madman broke through Payton's defense and entered the paint again. He singled out O'Neal's defense. He bumped into him and was pushed over by O'Neal.

Although the basketball is thrown, the iron is struck.

The referee did not call a foul.

Fortunately, the rebound was grabbed by Anthony Mason again, and Mason tipped the basketball directly into the basket.

Anthony Mason, who is nearly 40 years old, grabbed two consecutive offensive rebounds in the opening game.

Phil Jackson was very surprised.

He was thinking: What medicine is the Knicks selling in the gourd? Is Jack Fan trying to save energy? He is not lacking now. Is he trying to numb us? How can we be paralyzed now? What's his trick?

The more Phil Jackson thought about it, the more terrified he became.

It's most dangerous when it's unpredictable.
