Chapter 165 Three games left before the championship
Scarlett Johansson came over to shoot a promotional video for the movie "I Bought a Zoo". Miami has always been a favorite place for Hollywood female stars. The weather here is charming and the scenery is beautiful. Who doesn't like to play and work here?
What's more, there is Jack Fan here.
Something worth mentioning is that during the filming of this movie, the actor, the handsome Hollywood guy Matt Damon, had been rumored to have an affair with Scarlett Johansson.
Finally, the unfazed Hollywood star complained in front of the media last week: "I can't play basketball, why do you think she would date me?"
This sentence made the audience in front of the TV think about it.
And now, the media took photos of Jack Fan and Scarlett on the beach.
It is worth mentioning that the media took some strange photos.
Jack Fan and Scarlett dug a big hole on a secluded beach, and then Scarlett seemed to lie down in the restricted area. Then Jack Fan buried her and exposed her head. Jack then lay there again, using a huge piece of
The cloth covered Scarlett and his lower body.
Scarlett's explanation afterwards was: "This is a way to remove moisture. It's normal that you don't understand. Chinese medicine culture is extensive and profound. This is a beach method to remove moisture."
The photographer once revealed the truth very vividly: I did see the yellow cloth undulating violently, which should be Scarlett's head, but I didn't take the picture. The camera I had at the time was too bad, and they found it.
A very secluded place surrounded by palm trees….
The entertainment media are gossiping about what Fan Xi and Scarlett did on the beach, and whether the method of removing dampness is really effective. Anyway, the North American Traditional Chinese Medicine Association has come out to claim that it does have the effect of removing dampness.
, but they couldn’t understand why Jack was lying next to him. Could it be a harmony of yin and yang?
In contrast, the sports media criticized Fanshie. They felt that Fanshie's actions would affect the morale of Los Angeles. As the most powerful defender in Los Angeles after Kobe Bryant, he should shoulder the responsibility of the game instead of engaging in scandals in advance.
My girlfriend went to the beach to get wet.
…
Fan Xi received the news from her agent Lu Yuan and publicist Ma Chen respectively.
Lu Yuan told Fan Xi not to be influenced by those sports media. They are just looking for trouble now and can't affect the market situation. They can just do their own thing well.
Ma Chen further told Fan Xi that the offseason is coming soon and these tidbits will actually help increase your influence.
Both of them were somewhat encouraging.
Fan Xi didn't think so.
He had not planned to go to the appointment, but Scarlett Johansson was so charming. Her silky voice on the phone made little Jack heartbroken. Moreover, she mysteriously told Fan Xi that she had an inside information.
Tell Fan Xi.
Fan Xi is as hard as iron on the court and has tenacious willpower. But off the court, he is indeed a bit soft-hearted. Although he is not Zhang Wuji, but... emotionally, he is slightly passive. But then again, who can resist Hollywood?
What about these female fairies? Even if Tang Monk comes, he can’t hold them back.
Scarlett's performance in Iron Man last year won rave reviews, and her image as Black Widow excited fans.
She is indeed a treasure girl. At the age of 27, she is like two gold bricks in front of Fan Xi, who can always bring new surprises to Fan Xi.
When she proposed to surprise Fan Xi on the beach, Fan Xi's adrenaline surged and she almost had brain waves.
Therefore, Fan Xi even felt a little regretful.
Maybe it's better to let go a little bit.
With Kobe Bryant being injured and retiring for the season, Fanci is increasingly eager to increase his strength, especially in terms of physical fitness. The day before, Phil Jackson conservatively said to Fanci: "Jack, it's easy for us to change our tactics now, because of you.
You may not be able to last two quarters in a confrontation like the Finals, and LeBron James and Wade will definitely take turns wearing you down."
"If you can play the whole game, maybe we can use our inside advantage to deal with them."
Phil Jackson said this because he hoped that Fanci would not bear too much pressure. His thoughts were the same as Kobe's. He hoped that Fanci could score more data and improve his skills and on-the-spot reactions in the cruel finals environment.
The most trained superstar in the finals.
These ideas coincide with Jenny Buss and the others' expectations for Bynum.
To a certain extent, the Lakers are like a giant ship that is about to sink. The big guys on the ship no longer want to steer the ship to the other side of success. They just want to make enough capital before the ship sinks completely.
Fan Xi has this natural condition. If he wants to compete with Bynum for data, Bynum will never be his opponent.
However, Fan Xi didn't want to.
When he goes to sleep every night recently, Kobe's hard work in those three minutes will come to his mind, as well as the darkness when he was lying in the hospital. He probably didn't want his third championship ring to slip through his fingers.
Bar?
You treat me as a nobleman of the country, and I will repay you as a nobleman of the country.
…
June 3rd.
Game 2 of the Finals will be held at the American Airlines Center in Miami.
This game attracted more than 19,000 spectators. From the beginning of the game, the Heat's fighting spirit was very high. The home fans shouted beat-la, kill Los Angeles from the beginning.
But, it just started.
Fan Xi gave them a warning.
Fanshey shook off Wade at the beginning and hit a 3-pointer under Dunleavy's cover.
Then, he accelerated away from Wade and entered the penalty area, and hit a backhand layup.
The resolute and ferocious nature of Fanci's two consecutive kills was beyond Spoelstra's expectation. He had to mobilize more defensive forces to contain Fanci. At this time, Fanci's pass found a way out.
In the first 5 minutes, the Los Angeles Lakers led 16:6 by 10 points.
This time it fell beyond everyone's attention, and the shouts at Miami's home court came to a standstill.
However, after the first long timeout, Miami adopted the defensive strategy of letting superstar Dwyane Wade press the whole court. Spoelstra took aim at the loss of Kobe Bryant to the Los Angeles Lakers, leaving only Fanshie on the outside.
A reliable ball handler, and Fanshie can't afford to be physically exhausted.
Fan Xi's pace stopped, and the Lakers' offense came to a standstill.
Fanshie once drove the basketball into the penalty area, allowing Andrew Bynum and Pau Gasol to attack.
The performance of the two was mediocre, they did not achieve a shocking effect, and they did not compress the defensive attention from the outside to the penalty area.
Phil Jackson was forced to have no choice but to even replace Lamar Odom as a three-high lineup.
Odom sometimes helps Fanci carry the ball through half the court, but his current state is no longer the same as the season when he won the Best Sixth Man Award. He was unable to make a shot from two meters after being released from the outside.
Kobe Bryant's departure caused the Lakers' cohesion to disappear, and the original lineup advantage was slowly cut away by the Heat's Big Three, completely wiped out.
Fan Xi tried his best to connect the whole team, but the effect was not obvious.
First, Fan Xi's physical fitness is not enough.
Second, Fanshie's offensive threat from the outside is not enough.
In the past, when Kobe was still around, the Lakers' inside and outside lines could serve as each other's horns. The two shocking offensive points took turns bombarding Miami's fast break team.
Nowadays, the outside is unable to open up, and the inside has not accumulated the advantages it deserves.
Fan Xi connected the first quarter, and the Lakers led by 3 points at 29:26.
In the second quarter, Fancy was sitting on the bench out of breath. He watched helplessly as Miami's golden guns launched a mercury-like counterattack. The fierce offensive attack was like a tide, and the Lakers were unable to resist it.
With 3 minutes left in the second quarter, Fan Xi insisted on playing.
Fanci came on the court and pulled Pau Gasol to play a high pick-and-roll, assisting Dunleavy and Matt Barnes to hit shots, stabilizing the decline.
But on the offensive end, it still couldn't withstand the Heat's crazy offensive.
At the end of the first half, the Heat led by 7 points at 58:51. If Fanshey had not played in the last 3 minutes, the point difference would have even expanded to double digits.
Judging from the scene, it was completely the Heat overpowering the Lakers.
Every time the Heat attack seems to come naturally, and every time the Lakers score a goal, it's like a fluke.
Fan Xi played like a firefighter in the second half, plugging in wherever there was a hole.
He showed a desperate spirit.
In the 19th second of the third quarter, in order to fight for the ball, he flew out and rolled into a ball with Dwyane Wade. In the end, he was pinned under Wade, but he still passed the basketball to Lamar O
Dom, unfortunately, Lamar Odom's layup was slapped out of bounds by James.
At 2 minutes and 19 seconds of the third quarter, Fan Xi launched a forceful attack. He changed direction from Wade's left side, passed Wade with a deft spin, and entered the penalty area. However, faced with James' help defense, the two of them fought hard in the air.
It was a collision because he put the basketball under his arm in advance to avoid James' block, but was knocked away by James' strong body. However, he forced a 'touch' when he lost control of his body and caused James' foul.
He fell heavily to the ground, and the loud noise made the surrounding spectators moved. However, Fan Xi calmly walked to the free throw line and hit two free throws.
"This is a suicidal play."
Kenny closed his eyes and said, he was very distressed.
Charles Barkley was also very moved: "This kid is a bit like the players of our generation. Although we are willing to join the gold club before the game, when it comes to the game, no one will work harder than us."
Smith rolled his eyes at him angrily and complained: "Can the women in the Gold Club compare to the Black Widow?"
"Although the sense of conquest is not that strong, there are also people with excellent figures, faces, and skills." Barkley said happily, as if he had fallen into some kind of memory. This explanation diluted the cruelty of some games.
However, Fan Xi's battle did not stop.
In the next round after making two free throws, he tried to catch up with James. He jumped up and fell from the sky from James' back. Although the basketball was pushed down by him, James' strong impact also allowed him to fall from James' back again.
Fall down.
When Fan Xi fell heavily to the ground again.
Phil Jackson requested a timeout, and he asked Fanci to return to the bench immediately.
He doesn't want another player to get injured.
At this time, the game was 6 points behind.
Fan Xi was pushed to the bench, and the team doctor quickly gave him an ice pack.
Fan Xi received a huge impact from this game.
And when he came off the court, the point difference expanded rapidly. Without Fan Xi, the paper maker, the Lakers building was instantly riddled with holes, and the points expanded rapidly.
By the time Fanshey came on the court again in the fourth quarter, the score had expanded to 18 points.
Fan Xi played for five minutes and failed to narrow the point difference to single digits. At this time, he was out of breath and could not even straighten his back. In desperation, Phil Jackson replaced him and replaced all the main players.
118:99.
In the second game of the finals, the Heat swept the entire team and won the victory.
The score difference of nearly 20 points made Miami's home court ebullient. During the whole game, except for Fanshey who created a crisis for them, they enjoyed the killing in a relaxed mood at other times.
Without Kobe, the Lakers are like tigers without teeth. They have the body of the king of beasts, but they are unable to harm the agile cheetahs. Instead, they are eaten by three cheetahs that wander around.
"This is probably the epitome of this year's finals."
Kenny Smith said helplessly: "Jack Fan's physical problems are too serious, and his outside attack firepower has not reached the level of a superstar. However, he is still young and has an infinitely bright future. He can play well with Wade and
James scored 16 points, 10 assists, 5 rebounds, 2 steals and 2 blocks under a double attack, which is very rare. He only played a total of 22 minutes."
"Yes, he is still some distance away from a true superstar. If he has the physical fitness to play the entire game, maybe he can touch the threshold of a superstar. If his shooting percentage on pull-up jumpers with the ball reaches 40%, he
He is a superstar."
Charles Barkley said very objectively.
"However, both of these things take time." Barkley then said: "So, the next step is probably that the Los Angeles Lakers will suffer three consecutive defeats, and the Miami Heat will win the championship in Los Angeles with the autumn wind sweeping away the fallen leaves."
"No matter how we criticized LeBron James last summer and said he has no future, now, we must admit that he won. The championship is everything."
"Although there are still many people who assume what would have happened if Kobe had not been injured. However, this is the way the world is. The winner takes all, and the championship is justice."
"Furthermore, another sad fact is that with the defeat of the Lakers this year, the last banner representing the 1996 golden generation has collapsed. Kobe, who has returned from injury, cannot be in the same state as this year. Time is forcing him to grow old step by step.
.LeBron James’ time has come.”
Kenny Smith said a lot after the game. His words could not hide his reluctance for the golden generation. Of course, he also meant to seal the series in advance.
Later, the reporter interviewed LeBron James, who scored 38 points, 7 assists and 7 rebounds in the game.
LeBron James wiped his sweat in front of the camera and showed a winner's smile. He complimented and said: "The Lakers are an admirable team. Jack Fan's tenacious spirit is exactly the same as that of Kobe Bryant. They are so similar.
.”
Then, he smiled and said: "I know he has a bright future and the future belongs to him. Oh, and Kevin, and Chris, and Derek, and Russell..."
He could finally say this with his chest raised.
Since 2007, he has been oppressed by this sentence: Duncan killed him in the finals and told him that "the future belongs to him."
Now he is finally able to say this sentence in an "old-fashioned" way.
It's just that he doesn't seem to have won the finals yet. The score between the two teams is 1:1, not 4:1.
However, no one thought that what he said was wrong.
Everyone seemed to believe that Miami would defeat Los Angeles in the next three games, just like it did tonight, like a man who had been hungry for three days eating an Orleans Sturgeon Burger.
Not far away, some Miami fans even held up cardboard that read: There are still three games left until the championship.
