Chapter 114: A Dangerous Point Guard Attacks(1/2)
…
There are two classic sayings in the NBA. "Basketball is round, and anything is possible on the court." "There are no underdogs in the NBA."
Therefore, the Lakers' loss to the Grizzlies did not cause a big controversy in public opinion.
There was not much sadness on the faces of the Lakers players. In the long regular season, losing is inevitable.
For these professional players who have been around for many years, it is just an ordinary night.
Even the competitive Kobe Bryant didn't say anything. He lay down on the plane and slept quietly. He had a lot of worries recently and he was going back to Los Angeles to have a good rest.
However, Fan Xi has been watching the game replays on his iPad. He asked the video editor to cut out all the scenes of his confrontation with Conley and carefully read the details of the game.
This failure helped him a lot.
Since Fanci entered the league, Mike Conley has been the player who has given him the most intense confrontation, which has accelerated his proficiency in various technologies and also provided all-round improvements for his further evolution.
So, after the game, Fan Xi went to talk to Mike Conley for a while.
Mike Conley is a friendly man whose character is consistent with his low-key, down-to-earth style of play.
He also admired Fan Xi. He told Fan Xi: "Actually, many times, I feel helpless against you. If you were the main attacker tonight and you had more ball rights, maybe the result would be different."
At the same time, he also mentioned that the few goals that Fanshie played against OJ Mayo in singles were very exciting.
Fan Xi chatted happily with him.
The two left each other's contact information and agreed to practice together some time.
What Fanxi lacks most now is golfers with similar abilities and restrained playing styles.
Today's Fan Xi's physical fitness is not bad, and he has the individual technical experience of several historical superstars. If he integrates them all, he can easily advance from All-Star strength to superstar level.
The long flight gave Fan Xi plenty of time to review the game. When his iPad ran out of power, his understanding of the game rose to a new level.
In the past four games, Fanshie has appeared as a team support and has very little possession of the ball. Therefore, his data is much lower than before, but his integration into the Lakers' original system has increased a lot.
cut.
While Fanci was seriously reviewing the game, Old Winter was also discussing with Phil Jackson. He said that Jack only averaged 7.2 shots per game in the past four games, which was very few. He hoped that Fanci would get at least 15 shots per game.
opportunity to take action.
Old Winter never concealed his concern and love for Fan Xi.
He hopes that Fan Xi will quickly grow into a superstar.
Phil Jackson also has this tendency.
But as a head coach, he knows that this is a systemic problem. The Lakers averaged 81.2 shots per game this season, and Kobe Bryant averaged 21 shots per game. This is already a relatively restrained situation for him.
Pau Gasol averages about 14 shots per game, Lamar Odom takes about 10 shots per game, and Andrew Bynum also takes about 10 shots per game. This is already 55 shots. The remaining ones include Dunleavy and Barnes.
, Fisher, Walton, Joe Smith, a bunch of players, if Fanshie's average number of shots per game is raised to 15, then whose number of shots should be squeezed?
Previously, the reason why Fan Xi was able to get unlimited firing rights was because Kobe Bryant was injured and he did his best to train Fan Xi.
Now, about to enter the playoffs, Andrew Bynum is about to come back.
Therefore, Phil Jackson is worried about the system shock caused by major dismantling and overhaul. As we all know, strong teams are always making minor repairs and do not make systemic changes.
"Wait for next season, wait for next season. We will have enough time to make tactical changes around Jack, and even trade some players for him."
Phil Jackson said to old Winter.
When he said this, his pupils were full of determination. It can be imagined that he had already made a difficult decision.
Old Winter understood Phil Jackson's difficulties, and he nodded slightly. But he still felt that Fan Xi would always suddenly explode in a certain game, and even God could not stop it.
…
Kobe Bryant went straight home after returning to Los Angeles. Although Fan Xi didn't ask him what happened, he vaguely guessed that it might be a matter between husband and wife, and Vanessa and he were divorcing.
As early as a month ago, a street tabloid exposed that Vanessa hired a private detective to secretly photograph Kobe. However, no one took it seriously at the time, and everyone was taking advantage of Fansy, Jenner, Selena, and Taylor Swift.
.
Fan Xi didn't ask too much about the so-called honest official's family affairs, although he heard his teammates discussing it in low voices.
Fan Xi believed that Kobe had enough wisdom to solve this matter. Fan Xi had read the love story of Kobe and his wife in a magazine when he was very young: it was like Prince Charming and Cinderella. Moreover, they also experienced it in 2003.
After a big change, Vanessa stood firmly by Kobe's side at that time, and I believe she will do the same this time.
As soon as Fan Xi came out of the airport, he received a call from his agent Lu Yuan. Lu Yuan asked Fan Xi to go to the studio tomorrow morning to sign the contract that had been negotiated in recent days. After Fan Xi signed it, the sponsors would enter the payment process.
model.
Later, Ma Chen, who was in charge of Fan Xi's media public relations, also called Fan Xi and said that he had accepted a very important interview for him. CCTV's photography team had flown over from the other side of the ocean. They wanted to do this with great sincerity.
Make a special program for Fan Xi.
Fan Xi's reputation in China and even in Asia is already at a first-tier level, but there has never been a face-to-face, detailed program to promote her.
After Ma Chen got started, he used his connections over the years to manage Fan Xi's business and gave Fan Xi's first exclusive interview to the most influential TV station in the country.
Fan Xi took the news very seriously and quickly made time.
When Fan Xi drove to her apartment in Los Angeles, it was already evening.
Frazier, his trainer and nutritionist, has already prepared a sumptuous dinner for him. He has formulated a new diet for Fanshie, aiming to increase strength and endurance. This is a problem Frazier discovered during his interaction with the Lakers trainer.
.
Each NBA star has a professional team to provide them with catering and training services. LeBron James spends millions of dollars every year on training and maintaining his body.
Fanxi's trainer and nutritionist's fees are okay, just average. Moreover, his salary is paid by the fanx brand.
After dinner and another hour of training with Frazier's help, Frazier went home. He didn't live at Fanci's house... Americans pay great attention to privacy.
Fan Xi became bored. He turned on the TV and tuned to the ESPN channel.
Basketball news is being reported on the TV.
The Lakers achieved 3 wins and 1 loss on the road against the Devils in the Southwest Division and were praised by the hosts and commentators. They unanimously believed that the Lakers are the top seed in the Western Conference.
The famous host, Mike Breen, even said with certainty: "The Lakers are only one step away from the second three-peat dynasty in history, and Kobe Bryant looks ready to be crowned the third Finals MVP of his career.
preparation."
This topic soon became more popular.
The guests talked about the Lakers' current lineup, and soon talked about Fan Xi who was watching TV.
Special commentator Doug Rachel said rudely: "...People are waking up from the hot 'Jack Wave', and the Lakers' problem will appear at the 1st position. Jack Fan's performance in the past four games has been mediocre, and his performance has been mediocre.
The statistics were mediocre, and in the last game, he even suffered a lot in the matchup with Mike Conley."
"Basketball logic doesn't lie. There are no miracles in the world. Jack Fan will return to the level he should have been when he was an undrafted player. Lakers fans can just regard it as a beautiful dream. Those who have invested heavily in him will
Companies that are paying attention, you...just..."
Doug Rachel made an exaggerated sarcastic expression, causing the live broadcast room to burst into laughter.
Then, Reggie Miller criticized him: "I think you are just throwing out an amazing point to attract attention. Jack Fan is not as bad as you said, he just hasn't gotten so many ball rights recently, that's all. Actuality
He has played very well in the past four games, and his high-level statistics are very eye-catching. Even in the game against the Memphis Grizzlies, he was still the only player with a positive plus-minus for the Lakers, and he was responsible for the loss.
It’s not with him at all.”
Reggie Miller is a staunch Jack supporter.
Then, the basketball commentator Doug Rachel said: "You will know when you watch the game the day after tomorrow. The day after tomorrow, Chris Paul will tell Lakers fans at Staples Arena what a real point guard is."
After hearing this, Fan Xi realized that the next opponent was the New Orleans Hornets.
As soon as he heard about Chris Paul, Fan Xi was reminded of Chris Paul's resentful face during the All-Star Game. Chris Paul's jealousy and resentment towards Fan Xi were visible to the naked eye.
Fanci stole his All-Star starting spot, and also shined in the All-Star game, taking away the most dazzling MVP trophy.
This made Chris Paul very unhappy.
He had long been planning to beat Fan Xi until his reputation was ruined.
Snapped!
Fan Xi quickly turned off the TV, then called the videographer and asked him to quickly send a copy of Chris Paul's game highlights and technical analysis to his mailbox.
He wanted to study Paul.
Paul is the number one point guard in the league today, and the hostility is so strong that Fan Xi can't help but feel nervous from the bottom of his heart.
If Paul really catches him and teaches him a lesson in front of his home court, his reputation will definitely be damaged.
It may even affect business value.
This night, Fanci focused all his attention on Chris Paul's game highlights.
For this reason, he silenced his cell phone.
The next day, when he headed to the studio, he found nine missed calls on his phone. Three were from Taylor Swift, three were from Kendall Jenner, and three were from Scarlett Johansson.
It's quite average.
Fan Xi's return to Los Angeles is a very important signal for these three people. They are attracted to Fan Xi.
