The Point Guard is Here

Ben Wallace is not a well-known player and is already 23 years old. His resume in college was very thin, and he didn't even play in the NCAA Division I league.

Although the 36th pick is not a very high draft pick, it is hard to say that there was no behind-the-scenes manipulation when the Clippers selected him at this position.

Especially when he thanked Fan Xi so tearfully, the media couldn't help but think wildly.

Why can't the Los Angeles Clippers become Jack Jr.'s next home?

They have plenty of salary space, and the team's boss Lao Yi Ott only has an annual salary of about three million. Although it was a high salary in the past, it is not worth mentioning in the face of the upcoming skyrocketing salary.

If Fan Xi pursues the maximization of personal interests, and if the Clippers owner can be generous, Fan Xi can join the Clippers and not only enjoy the metropolitan benefits of Los Angeles, but also secure a contract that will definitely be bigger than the Lakers. How can he be happy? Not for that.

Since then, some rumors have spread like wildfire.

"You know? The reason why the Clippers picked Ben Wallace was because the Clippers wanted to take the opportunity to win over Jack."

More and more ‘insiders’ are speaking out in the media.

Interestingly, the next morning, Clippers leader Lawy Orton, who had no reputation or presence in the league, actually went to be interviewed.

He also plausibly said: "The strength of the Clippers is actually not bad at all. We just lack an opportunity. If Jack comes to assist me, just like he assisted Patrick Ewing and Hakeem Olajuwon before, we can also get it." champion."

"As we all know, little Jack is the best assistant and second-in-command ever."

Orton said generously: "I don't mind him taking the finals MVP."

Reporters didn’t know how to respond to these words.

Wish him a happy life.

The Clippers' assistant general manager turned a deaf ear to the rumors, and at noon the next day, he made sure owner Donald Sterling wasn't going to do anything bad at that hour. So I called and reported.

He denounced Elgin Baylor's insistence: "He is simply fooling around. He actually chose an older rookie who has no NCAA Division I resume. I don't see any future in that guy. This guy doesn't even have the most basic skills. He has no shooting ability, he is just a football player! The only thing that is commendable is that he has a good relationship with Jack... Now everyone is saying that Elgin Baylor is a Lakers undercover..."

?

There was silence on the other end of the phone for a long time.

Donald Sterling took a long time before asking: "You said that the good-for-nothing guy who was chosen is a good friend of little Jack?"

"This is not the point, boss." The deputy general manager almost burst into tears. Why does he care about this matter? Why does everyone care about this?

Even if everyone cares about this matter, boss, you shouldn’t care either. You are Grandet, and you are the person who is most reluctant to spend money. Little Jack has a trivial relationship with us. New York has already offered a contract of 100 million yuan, do you still dare to add more?

"That's the point. I think Elgin was a good draft pick and he's at his usual level."

It's hard to tell whether Sterling's words were praising Baylor or sarcasm.

Anyway, he continued: "You still need to learn. Baylor is showing off his skills. Why spend money on a problem that can be solved with favors? As long as little Jack remembers our favors, we will lose ten to twenty million by then. Does he care?"

The deputy general manager thought Sterling was naive.

How is it possible in this world that there is a possibility of "spending a little money to do big things"?

When the complaint came back in vain, the deputy general manager couldn't help but muttered. He cursed and said: I always feel that you are going to suffer a big loss from Little Jack this time.

…

Sterling miscalculated one thing. Fan Xi had no time to remember the Clippers' kindness, and he had no psychological baggage or human pressure at all.

After all, he knows the strength of Ben Wallace, a decorated player!

All we can say is that Elgin Baylor made a good deal and found a treasure.

In this rookie class, there are a total of five decorated players, Iverson, Kobe, Marbury, Nash, and then Ben Wallace.

What does this mean?

This shows that no matter how famous the super rookies are, their achievements cannot be higher than Ben Wallace.

Fan Xi can see this from training with Ben Wallace.

Although Ben Wallace is not good at offense, he is really good at defense. Even if he is defending a small defender like him, he can still deliver an iron value of '80'.

This is something that neither Barkley nor Ewing could do. Olajuwon could do it when he and Olajuwon practiced alone.

But who is Olajuwon? He is the number one center in the league today. He is known as a top player who has both offensive and defensive skills and is accustomed to one attack and one defense.

If Ben Wallace can be half as good as Olajuwon, that's enough to make a living in the NBA. Over time, it may not be impossible to become famous by relying on defense.

Fan Xi is looking forward to the medal players recognized by the system.

Just like...he is now looking forward to the future of LeBron James and Steph Curry who is still wearing diapers.

…

Neither Fanci nor Delfina responded to the scandal with the Clippers after the draft. However, James Dolan Jr. was very loyal. He stood up and said that neither Los Angeles team has a chance: "The Lakers salary cap is not enough, and the Clippers will die." Stingy, they keep shutting up!"

Such a speech moved New York fans very much.

Every offseason, the signing trends of each team are the ones that make fans secrete dopamine the most, because just looking forward to the future lineup is enough to make them raise their tails happily.

Fan Xi was not idle in the following days.

He was dragged to the set of Friends by Jennifer Aniston, who insisted on making a guest appearance in the episode.

He was assigned the role of a playboy.

Fancy had reasonable suspicion that this was deliberate revenge on Jennifer Aniston's part.

However, he still had the courage to play this handsome and handsome basketball team elite... at least that's what the director thought, and the director felt that this role would be fine if Fan Xi played his true self.

Yes, Fanci not only starred in his true self, but also brought his little brother Ben Wallace with him.

Ben Wallace plays his teammate in it.

This is the director's little trick, just like when you are studying, the most beautiful class girl always has a good friend who is fat and has no scheming.

Because, flowers are the foil.

Compared with the busyness of other rookies, Iverson rushed to Philadelphia overnight, and their mayor personally went to the airport to pick him up.

Ben Wallace seemed completely forgotten about by the Clippers after he stole the show on draft night.

Even his agent, Sam Bowie, didn't get a call from Elgin Baylor.

Therefore, Ben Wallace was a little worried and asked Fan Xi: "Will they give up signing the contract?"

Fan Xi said seriously: "That's their loss. If they don't sign you, you will go wherever I go."

With Fan Xi's words, Ben Wallace burst into tears of gratitude.

I wrote a letter home to my mother overnight: Mother, are the jasmine flowers blooming in Alabama? Still no call from the Clippers this week, but Jack got me on board with the most-watched TV show in America. Jennifer is really beautiful, and the way she looks at Jack is full of love. Jack said that if the Clippers didn't sign me in the end, he would take me to his next home. I hope it's the Los Angeles Lakers, although I'll bench Shaquille O'Neal. But only a man with his strength can conquer me, right? I love Jack as much as I love you and Dad.

…

Fancy stayed in New York until July.

His happy life with Jennifer is enviable, so much so that the director gave little Jack a beautiful open-ended resolution in that plot... Who says that a love-minded boy doesn't have a happy ending?

People expected little Jack and Jennifer to get married and have children, just like Madonna and his uncle.

Fanxi received an invitation from Madonna on July 2, and with the summer league coming soon, he had to participate in the training camp of the Chinese team.

Delphine is still busy in Los Angeles. She went to Africa some time ago and won the endorsement of Armani for Fan Xi. This means that if Fan Xi wears a suit in all public occasions, it must be Armani. brand.

This is not difficult for Fan Xi to do. After all, he saves a lot of clothing expenses and can get 1 million US dollars in three years.

Why not?

In addition, Delphine also went to Boston and Miami, which made Fanxi's next home even more confusing. Fanxi's market price is very high.

Especially after David Falk said he would seek a multi-million dollar contract for his junior Juwan Howard.

In fact, he has made an offer to Washington. But Washington is only willing to renew his contract with a contract worth 90 million US dollars.

This contract has scared many established superstars to death, especially Pippen.

Pippen simply underwent surgery, and he will enter a long recovery period. It is very likely that he will miss most of the Bulls season next season.

This makes the Bulls' renewal of Jordan's contract a crisis-ridden matter. What if Jordan can't afford to wait? Last season when he had Pippen, he lost to Jack Jr.

The day Fanci arrived in Los Angeles, the Lakers' Jerry West secretly came to visit.

He said to Fanshi very frankly: "We can't give you a higher contract than Shaquille O'Neal, but the difference will not be too far."

Then, he talked about O'Neal.

Because the Magic re-signed Anfernee Hardaway early and they said hurtful things to O'Neal. Said they couldn't provide O'Neal with more than Hardaway.

This made Shark sensitive, so he called the Lakers specifically, hoping to get enough respect from the Lakers.

The Lakers' solution is to let Fan Xi take less, and hope Fan Xi understands.

Fan Xi frowned.

He originally didn't have much interest in joining the Lakers, but now that he heard what they said, he became even more indifferent.

We haven't even passed the gate yet, we are already divided into kings and kings.

Once this is over, a bowl of water will still be available.

He didn't believe what Jerry West said about the tactical play that was completely based on Fanshie. He also emphasized that... Barkley would definitely be given the best arrangement.

What is the difference between this and the boss talking about ideals when negotiating salary?

Fan Xi politely exchanged a few words and then ended the conversation.

It also ended the remaining desire to join the Lakers.

…

The next day, Fan Xi entered the training camp of the Chinese team. After more than half a month, the players of the national team were practicing in full swing. The trainer Fan Xi specially invited did bring great help to these players who had not trained scientifically.

Marshal Gong felt that he was more powerful than before, and he even asked a Mexican woman who was in marketing at the training center to learn English, proving that his ability was no worse than that of foreigners.

After this incident was exposed, he was severely punished for violating relevant regulations and had to practice 500 return runs every day, but this did not dampen his enthusiasm for learning English at all.

After Fan Xi heard about it, she praised him as a talented person who would spend all his gold wherever he went.

At the same time, I also advised him to take it easy. Although his English is good, he just needs to practice speaking every day and don't be greedy.

Jokes like this make the training camp atmosphere great.

Fan Xi is a humorous person.

Of course, the sparring partner he brought was not humorous at all.

Ben Wallace gave the national team some color as soon as he arrived at the training ground. Although he is not as tall as the center of the national team, but under the attack of his arrogant strength, even Battle, who claims to be the strongest in the country, cannot carry him. Live, you can only go around and shoot jumpers.

Battle is indeed a talent, and his core strength is definitely rare among yellow people. After more than half a month of professional training, he has improved very quickly.

Fan Xi practiced with the national team and found that his teammates all had their own skills. With his help, it looked like a shooting team.

From Wang Zhizhi, Shan Tao, Sun Jun, and Battelle in the penalty area, to Gong Dashuai, Hu Weidong, Zheng Wu, and Liu Yudun on the outside forwards and defenders, to Wu Qinglong, Li Xiaoyong, and Wu Naiqun at the back, they all have the ability to shoot.

Fan Xi combined everyone's strengths, worked together with the coaching staff, and went faster on the basis of Xiao Kuailing, and he just played like a whirlwind.

After practicing for three days, the tacit understanding came out.

Everyone thinks this Olympics will have very positive results.

At this time, the national team will also face its first summer league opponent, the Los Angeles Lakers.

Kobe Bryant was very excited when he heard that Fanshie would play in this game, and the new players on his team also screamed.

Kobe did not forget to remind his big brother: "Many people want to take this opportunity to make trouble on your head. They want to become famous in you."

Fan Xi didn't take it seriously.

He has never played in the summer league when he was with the New York Knicks. This kind of league is used to train newcomers and eliminate marginal players, and it does not attract much attention.

However, if he can perform well in the summer league, it will be a big plus.

To a certain extent, the appearance of a well-known star like Fanshie in the summer league is a challenge in itself.

Because if you deduct others, everyone will think it is normal.

If someone deducts you, that means they are trying to show off.

This is why LeBron James would collect training camp tapes many years later.
