Chapter 157(1/2)
"Last night, Jack Fan, the head guard of the Los Angeles Lakers and known as the league's new answer to point guards, was photographed watching a movie with Scarlett Johansson late at night. Although Scarlett has previously denied the scandal with Jack Fan, she has never
It’s easy to see the way she was swaying and almost hanging on Jack Fan… It’s hard for them not to have a relationship…”
Fan Xi was sitting on the sofa in the Miami hotel, watching the TV channel broadcasting his own news.
He did go to the movies with Scarlett last night. Scarlett came to him under the guise of contacting Selena. Because she was about to board a plane to Miami early that morning, so time was urgent and they were in a hurry.
After watching a literary film, I went to the theater.
It has to be said that movie fans in Los Angeles really prefer eating fast food and have no pursuit of art. There are only four people in the huge studio.
Fan Xi and Scarlett sat in the far left corner at the back, and the other couple sat in the far right corner. As the so-called plot of this drowsy literary film slowly progressed, the one on the right
There were unsettling gasps and excited but undisguised sounds coming from the corner.
Very good, these two people are not here for the movie itself.
Fan Xi was about to accuse these two people of paying attention to their movie-viewing quality, when Hollywood's A-list diva leaned down...
Scarlett can always give Fan Xi some new tricks.
This was another stimulating feeling. Fan Xi even felt that her brain waves were being stimulated...but in the end it was still a little bit worse...if there wasn't a crazy couple sitting on the far right.
In the end, Fan Xi didn't remember what this literary film was about.
When a picture of the two of them being photographed outside the cinema appeared on TV, Fan Xi tried hard to think... what was the name of that movie? The heroine didn't look very good. Is it just women with flat chests and freckles?
Can only children act in literary films? If so, Scarlett will indeed be more able to attract ordinary audiences into the cinema.
However, Fan Xi is still looking forward to watching an artistic film with Scarlett next time.
The joy here is not enough for outsiders.
Fan Xi changed the channel.
ESPN's basketball news is reporting: "... Chris Paul has entered the Miami Heat training facility since last Sunday. The friendship between LeBron, Dwyane and Chris needs no introduction. What new things will Paul bring to the Heat?
Where are the weapons? Let’s wait and see.”
When Fan Xi saw the news, the comparison was absurd.
According to media reports, the head guard of the Lakers was happy to have a tryst with a sexy female star in the middle of the night. The Miami Heat strived for excellence and invited the god of contemporary point guards to come and provide guidance.
Any normal person would think, ‘Miami can’t win, it’s totally unreasonable’.
"Hey, Jack. You and Scarlett actually went to see Tony Kaye's "Transcendence," which was the highest-rated movie by the Film Critics Association this year. What do you think? Is it good? It's really such a penetrating analysis of human nature.
To what extent?"
Mike Dunleavy walks in, and he's probably the last innocent thing in Los Angeles.
Bynum looked at him with a wicked smile, and he winked and said, "Mike, I'm sure Jack didn't watch a minute of the movie last night. Believe it or not, he can't even name the hero and heroine now."
"Hey Jack, what's the hero's name? What does he do in the movie?"
Lamar Odom quickly asked.
The hotel conference room burst into laughter.
Fan Xi quickly said seriously: "When did you care about last night's movie? Tomorrow night is the finals."
Ha ha ha ha!
There was a burst of hearty laughter in the conference room.
At least, the Lakers' pregame atmosphere was still very good.
The incident of Fancy and Scarlett watching a movie did not cause dissatisfaction in the locker room as the commentators said. Lakers players have long accepted Jack's romantic anecdotes. Other players' pre-game dates may be called a collapse of their personality.
But Fan Xi... dating female celebrities is his personality.
Just like a certain crosstalk actor in China, 'the harder you smoke, the more stable your character will be'.
Phil Jackson came in next and showed Miami Heat game highlights on the big screen.
This year, the Heat eliminated the Sixers, Celtics, and Bulls one after another to reach the finals. There is no doubt about the strength of the Big Three.
James ranks first in ESPN's latest strength rankings, Dwyane Wade ranks 4th in the strength rankings, and Chris Bosh ranks 16th.
In comparison, the Lakers are indeed inferior in the rankings. Kobe is ranked second, Pau Gasol is 15th, Andrew Bynum is 25th, and Fan Xi has risen quickly. He is now ranked 28th in the league.
.However, this ranking was listed before the second game of the Western Conference Finals. According to the current market situation of Fanxi, there is a chance to touch the threshold of the top 20.
However, the Heat's problems are also considered to be obvious. They rely on singles and breakthroughs, are weak inside, have poor defense, and their rebound protection ability is mediocre.
Therefore, Phil Jackson's strategy for the first game is very simple. Just push the twin towers and let Gasol and Bynum form a double-high lineup to press Bosh and Joel Anthony.
In addition, in order to solve the problem of the Heat's strong breakthrough ability, they strengthened the zone defense. They also asked Fanxi to press Bibby at the top of the key, putting Bibby into an uncomfortable state and preventing him from comfortably entering into the work of distributing the ball.
When Phil Jackson deployed targeted tactics, Miami was doing the same thing.
The intelligence work of both sides is top-notch, and both sides will seize the other's weaknesses.
But what the final result will be depends on taking one step at a time.
No one knows what will happen tomorrow night.
Only one thing is certain, there is only one winner in the game.
…
The home stadium of the Miami Heat is also called the American Airlines Center. It was built in 1999. It is a modern arena that can accommodate nearly 20,000 spectators. The arena is relatively high-end in the NBA.
That night, when the Heat players entered the arena, there were 20,000 fans wearing uniform white T-shirts. They created a white horror scene to cheer for the home team.
The American media likes to translate it as ‘white heat’.
The Heat are very superstitious about this. The last time they reached the Finals, they relied on all the players at home to defeat the Mavericks. They fell behind 0:2 and came back from four games to win the championship against the Mavericks.
Nowitzki came to the scene.
He is a man of extraordinary courage, and he knows that he will be laughed at when he appears here. After all, he once lost miserably to the Heat, and this season he lost tragically to the Lakers in the Western Conference semifinals.
It takes great courage to face a bleak career.
What was even more brave was that when a reporter asked Nowitzki which team he supported to win, Nowitzki pulled open his jacket and revealed the No. 10 jersey inside, which was Fanci's purple and gold jersey.
"I don't predict the outcome of the game. I am a fan of Jack Fan." Nowitzki said with a smile.
Then the TNT sideline reporter asked him what he thought about Chris Paul entering the Heat training camp.
"Unless Chris Paul comes on the court, it won't materially change Miami's disadvantage at No. 1."
Nowitzki predicted: "I think Jack Fan's first trip to the Finals will be extremely exciting."
The audience in front of the TV were very curious about the friendship between Nowitzki and Fan Xi, because Fan Xi had only eliminated Nowitzki before.
The whistle sounded soon.
In the fanatical home atmosphere, the starting players of both sides appeared on the stage.
The Lakers are: Andrew Bynum, Pau Gasol, Lamar Odom, Kobe Bryant, Fanci.
This is no longer a double-high lineup, but a triple-high lineup.
The Lakers went for the Heat's seven-inch opening.
The Heat's starting lineup is: Joel Anthony, Chris Bosh, LeBron James, Dwyane Wade, Mike Bibby.
The Miami Heat really can't find a qualified center in the market. They spent too much money on the Big Three, so they can only piece together some scraps.
Not every team can dig out a treasure like Xiang Fanxi from the undrafted draft. Pat Riley is extremely sorry for this.
Although he knows that LeBron James hates Fanci, he told the management more than once that if we can get Jack Fan, we can really fulfill LeBron James' promise: not three championships, not four championships.
Not five championships….
"Of course, we can now too."
Every time he mentioned this, Pat Riley would emphasize it calmly.
However, often when people emphasize their tone, it means they feel empty inside.
LeBron James sprinkled magnesium powder emphatically before the game started. He sprinkled it twice, once more than usual, as if to get more shots.
This is his repertoire.
Every historical figure seems to have some special quirks. Jordan likes to stick out his tongue, and James works hard on magnesium powder.
When he was spreading magnesium powder, Fan Xi happened to pass by him. Fan Xi's expression was calm, and he even looked straight away.
However, James gave him a hard look with a hard look.
Fan Xi felt baffled.
James has no real grudges with him. Didn't he just kill you twice? Didn't he just give you a head start on the sneaker contract?
But you are a superstar in the NBA, you are a signature player, and you will definitely enter the Historical Hall of Fame. In terms of achievements on the court, you and I are far apart, so why are you targeting me so much.
Really.
Can’t even a black man hold a boat in his belly?
Your opponent is Kobe Bryant.
