The Point Guard is Here

Who is a serious person who keeps a diary?

Ben Wallace is so delicate, and he persisted for many years.

He developed a Rottweiler-like devotion to Fancy, even lifting Stephon Marbury over his head for joking with Fancy because he felt the New York kid didn't respect Fancy enough.

To be honest, this shocked Fan Xi.

He quickly asked Rottweiler to put the pony down, but Mabry was frightened. Marbury has been claiming in front of these brothers that he is a Gangstar, a famous gangster in New York.

However, in the face of absolute power, he still believed that the power of law was most suitable for him.

After that, he no longer dared to make fun of Fan Xi in front of Ben Wallace.

What's interesting is that Ben Wallace won't be angry if Iverson and Fanci make any jokes. He played basketball for three years in Virginia. The great friendship between Fanshie and Iverson has long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. Everyone sincerely admires Fanshie's persistence in abandoning Iverson at that stage, especially among the black group. .

To some extent, Fanci has long been an old friend of the black community. It’s reached the point where even if ‘that’ comes out of his mouth, the black man won’t get angry.

Fan Xi's small villa is home to several of this year's most popular rookies, so there are always NBA general managers coming here to report.

Greenberg and Cross of the Philadelphia 76ers are the most frequent. They want to draft a point guard this year on the grounds that they have enough talent at other positions.

The best point guard this year is none other than Georgetown University's Allen Iverson. He has won the NCAA championship since his freshman season. He has just finished his second season this year, and his talent has long been unable to be concealed. As for coach John Thompson, he is building momentum for him: If Iverson had declared for the draft in 1994 and Jack Jr. had stayed in Georgetown, Iverson could still achieve what Jack Jr. had done.

Of course, Fanci will not debate Thompson on this issue. He even admitted that Iverson's personal strength and talent are far better than his own.

He also said the same thing when facing Sixers general manager Cross and president Greenberg.

As the youngest Finals MVP in history, he has no need to lie. He and Iverson have their own strengths.

Stephon Marbury is the only current super guard who can be compared with Iverson. He has become famous on the streets of New York as early as a teenager, and is the best guard in that reality show besides Fan Xi. In his freshman season, he was selected to the All-American third team and then eagerly declared for the draft.

Compared with Iverson, Marbury's advantage is that his barefoot height is 188cm, and he has played very steadily in his freshman season, with good shooting percentage and three-point shooting percentage, and his turnover rate is controlled better than Ai. Ferson is better.

Therefore, some people think Marbury will be a better point guard.

Both Greenberg and Krause came over to ask Fanci about this issue.

They asked Fanxi: Who do you think is the more pure point guard among your two good friends, just like you.

Fan Xi was a little dumbfounded at the time, to be honest.

He cannot evaluate something that does not exist.

But this is related to which good friend can become the first pick, so he said honestly and perfunctorily: "They are all very good players with amazing talents. I have a high degree of friendship with them, and Iverson also We have been teammates together, and I feel comfortable working with him. We also briefly teamed up with Marbury in the training camp, which was also great!”

Then Fancy recommended his latest little brother Ben Wallace to Klaus.

However, both Krause and Greenberg refused because the inside line was overcrowded.

No one will be interested in Ben Wallace, a big center who is only two meters tall, has no offensive skills, and is even terrible at free throws.

This is especially true for the Sixers, who have lost interest in interior players in the past few seasons. The Witherspoon they selected in 1992, the Bradley they selected in 1993, and the Derek Coleman they acquired in exchange all proved that they did not have the vision to select interior elites.

Moreover, if you have already failed in so many high picks, why continue to invest in a guy who will fail at first glance?

This is what Cross and the others really think.

Moreover, they only completed the replacement of team owners in the past season. The former owner Harold was fed up with being called a philanthropist and could not stand the team's unscrupulous squandering of his money. He sold the team to Conca Sri Lanka Group.

Concas Group hopes to embark on a prosperous path with this year's No. 1 pick.

To be honest, the Sixers had already made their final decision when they left Fan Xi's house.

This can be seen from the fact that they shook hands with Iverson for 28 seconds and Marbury for 15 seconds.

Although Fanci was reluctant to admit it, his words were the reason why the two managers made up their minds: Fanci said that he and Iverson had been teammates and they got along very happily.

What does this mean? It shows that Allen Iverson is not a selfish person. How could a selfish player be happy with someone like Jack Jr.?

This is a terrible conjecture, and it is also a suffocating reverse reasoning.

Human beings often make various mistakes because of their strong brain function.

Just like Ben Wallace.

That day, he wrote in his diary: I must work hard, I must train hard, and I must fight for Jack. For my sake, Jack would do his best to sell me to Philadelphia, even at the cost of offending his two good brothers.

This is why medal player Ben Wallace has a 10-point favorable opinion of little Jack.

He set a new record.

From the first acquaintance to the moment we fell in love, it took less than 5 days.

…

On June 26, 1996, two weeks after the Finals, the NBA's annual draft was held in a theater in East Rutherford, New Jersey.

This year's rookie class is full of talents. Except for Tim Duncan, known as the strongest insider in the NCAA, who did not participate, it includes the most promising and talented young people in the United States.

Fanshie, the youngest Finals MVP in history, also appeared in the theater. He is a close friend of Iverson, a dear brother of Stephon Marbury, the eldest brother and father of Kobe Bryant, and Ben Wallace. Big brother has arrived.

Perhaps because of his age, when Fan Xi walked into the theater, in addition to cheers, there were also some challenging and even provocative looks.

Many of the young talents here regard Fan Xi as their imaginary enemy because they are of the same age, and the media always use words like "luck" and "lucky" when reporting Fan Xi, which makes many young players have a feeling of "what if I" In the same position, I can do better' inner feeling.

For example, Marcus Camby, who just won the John Wooden Award in 1996, is very proud of himself. He is recognized as the best NCAA big man besides Duncan.

But that didn't stop him from speaking harshly to Fan Xi in front of the media: "Hey, Jack. When I get into the NBA, the first thing I will do is kick your ass."

Fan Xi turned sideways when he shouted at him. He had no intention of coddling this kid: "When you enter the NBA, you have to carry my backpack and slippers, rookie!"

Yes, although Fan Xi is younger than Camby, he is now a well-deserved senior.

The media laughed.

In public, Camby dared not say much. Tonight was a grand event, and he didn't dare to show off his face. And he was sure that if he continued to make offensive remarks, the black-faced bodyguard standing next to Fan Xi would definitely rush over and throw him to the ground, just like a football player.

Except for Canby.

Fanshey also saw Ray Allen from the University of Connecticut, the best long-range shooter and swingman in college basketball, who averaged 47% of three-pointers per game and was named to the All-American First Team in the 1995-96 season.

There is also Abdulrahim, a McDonald's All-American high school team in 1995. He averaged 20 points and 8 rebounds per game in his freshman season. He can swing between the two forward positions.

Antoine Walker, a power forward at the University of Kentucky, is a super swingman who can play all five positions on the court. If Fan Xi had not rejected Madonna's National High School Competition, they would have known each other at that time.

But now, Antoine Walker is hostile to Fan Xi, he is a pretentious person.

In addition, Lorenzen White is also very powerful. Kyrie Kittles, who has been fighting openly and secretly with Ray Allen over the top shooting guard in the NCAA. There is also Yugoslav striker Stojakovic who has been a professional player for three years.

Of course, Stephen Nash, who was selected by Sam Bowie and Delphine, is also a good player who can be mentioned. He is a member of the Canadian national team and a super shooter at Santa Clara University.

Vansh wanders backstage.

The young players waiting to be drafted looked at him with envy, jealousy, or replacement, while the general managers who came to the scene came to say hello to Fan Xi one by one.

Although Fan Xi is about the same age as these rookies, or even younger. However, there is no doubt that Fan Xi is the more sought after existence.

Elgin Baylor even sneakily pulled Fanshey into a corner.

He is the vice president and general manager of the Los Angeles Clippers, and he has absolute authority in recruiting and drafting.

Although Elgin Baylor is a Lakers legend, he is very loyal to his job.

Moreover, recent rumors in the Los Angeles media have made him feel unprecedented pressure. If the Lakers really form a trident combination of Fanci, Barkley, and O'Neal, then... the Clippers will never be able to get ahead, and will become dust in the City of Angels as time goes on.

He tried his best to prevent this from happening.

He asked Fan Xi: "Jack, do you really plan to join the Lakers and form a new super team?"

Fan Xi deliberately frowned, waiting for the next step.

"My gut tells me that's not who you are," Elgin Baylor said.

Fan Xi answered the question: "You don't want me to join the Lakers? You are a Lakers legend."

"Of course, Jack. You know, I am working for the Clippers now. If you join the Lakers, we will be finished..." Baylor said frustratedly.

The Clippers are already extremely weak in Los Angeles. If the Lakers form a Galaxy fleet again... the situation will be unimaginable.

Fanci saw the real fear on Elgin Baylor's face, so he joked with him and said: "If you don't want me to join the Lakers, then you have to promise me something."

"What's going on?" Elgin Baylor asked quickly.

"Pick him." Fan Xi pointed at Ben Wallace behind him.

Ben Wallace was so moved by this that he quickly took Fan Xi's hand: "Jack, no, no. How could you give up such a good future for me? Joining the Lakers is the dream of many players. , not to mention forming a super strong team with O'Neal..."

Fancy reached out to stop Ben Wallace's emotional catharsis.

He looked at Elgin Baylor.

Baylor hesitated for less than three seconds.

Although it is childish to do so, I have never inspected this player. But...the Clippers have three draft picks this year, using a second-round pick to select a player who is committed to not letting Vanheed join the Lakers.

It's all earned.

He couldn't wait to reach out and said to Fan Xi: "I will keep my promise."

Fan Xi didn't expect Baylor to be so decisive, but still stretched out his hand.

This kind of courage did not surprise him.

Then, Elgin Baylor shook hands with Ben Wallace and said: Welcome to the Los Angeles Clippers.

Meanwhile, he doesn’t even know Ben Wallace’s name yet.

Ben Wallace quickly introduced himself and recounted his statistics in Virginia. His sincerity and positivity left a deep impression on Elgin Baylor.

It just so happens that the Clippers really lack insiders.

Why not give this guy a chance? I can also take the opportunity to build a good relationship with little Jack.

…

The draft was about to begin, and Fancy and Ben Wallace sat on the narrow bench in the back. He would have had the opportunity to sit at the small round table in front... Whether it was Iverson or Marbury, even Kobe would have had the opportunity to be in the green room.

But Fan Xi didn't go that way.

He doesn't want to show off.

But this small gesture gave Ben Wallace a feeling he had never experienced before, and he almost cried again.

In his diary, Fan Xi even surpassed his father.

He wrote...Jack gave up so much for me, he was like a messenger sent by God to save me. If given the chance, I would put a bullet in his crotch. If my body allows, two or three would be fine...

If Fancy knew Ben Wallace's rich inner drama, he might burst into tears.

Because... joining the Lakers itself was not within the scope of his plan.

David Stern looked very happy tonight.

He took the stage and quickly announced the first pick of the first round, with Philadelphia using their pick to select Allen Iverson.

Allen Iverson became the first point guard to be elected No. 1 since Magic Johnson and the smallest point guard in NBA history.

Allen Iverson couldn't conceal his excitement. After hugging his mother, sister, grandmother, wife, and daughter, he deliberately walked to the back to find Fan Xi and hugged Fan Xi tightly.

"Jack, our dream has come true."

"Our time has come!"

Iverson said affectionately and confidently.
