The Point Guard is Here

At least, you got a long vacation.

Gary Payton comforts Vanhey on the plane back to Los Angeles.

In the past 24 hours, the world's media has been reporting the basketball god's return on the court.

Although some media in the United States characterized it as an act of violent stadium violence.

But in the broader popular discourse, Vanhey is a hero.

The undisputed hero.

Vanhee was sneaked by Chris Webber, and he was there to protect his teammates.

Chris Webber is supposed to be that nasty mean clown.

As the initiator of violent actions, he should bear the most important responsibility.

But in the end, the official penalty given by the league was that Chris Webber was suspended for 35 games and Jack Fan was suspended for 38 games. Webb was fined $25,000 and Vanhey was fined $30,000.

Others Bobby Jackson was suspended for 15 games, Brad Miller was suspended for 18 games, and Kwame Brown was suspended for 6 games.

After this penalty came out, it aroused strong dissatisfaction in the New York media circle. They always believed that Fan Xi was a victim, and Fan Xi could only be regarded as self-defense even in a legal sense.

However, the alliance obviously wants to give everyone an explanation.

And to calm down the grievances that Fan Xi stole the Olympic gold medal from the Dream Team in the summer.

This time the penalty was very, very heavy, strictly speaking, it surpassed that at the Palace of Auburn Hills.

Fan Xi's management team originally wanted to do image public relations,

But within a day after the incident, Fan Xi's popularity rose rapidly.

In the past, the league's signature superstars like Michael Jordan and Magic Johnson did not fight. They were usually well protected by their teammates. Once a conflict occurred, the team would arrange thugs to protect them.

Fan Xi created a new model.

He not only went into battle himself, but also protected his teammates, fought on the front line, and played a leading role.

This kind of heroism, this kind of bravery that everyone will go to, has deeply moved the Americans. This kind of individual heroism is too much for the American taste.

Therefore, the money originally planned to do crisis public relations quickly turned into new commercial marketing. Fan Xie's sneaker brand took advantage of the situation to launch the Satmento color scheme and added the symbol of the fist.

It is foreseeable that this sneaker will sell a lot, especially since those guys in the planning department who are engaged in marketing have learned to sell in limited quantities, the price of sneakers has risen. Even Nike, the ancestor of hunger marketing, has criticized Fan Xi secretly. It's not a good idea to do that.

However, this just shows that in terms of business model, Fanxi brand's move is successful.

Rest well, Jack. The rest of the game is up to us.

On the plane, Milicic came over very seriously, and he wanted to take this responsibility on his own initiative.

There is also Kwame Brown, Fan Xie helped him fight, but he was so moved, he swore to Fan Xie again and again that he must play a super performance, in order to repay Fan Xie's kindness. He even burst into tears, saying that since he entered the league, no one has ever treated him so sincerely, treating himself as a real little brother.

Seeing Kwame Browner bowing his head, Milicic patted his chest and said that he would carry the team on his shoulders. Fan Xi felt that this incident was somewhat a blessing in disguise.

Because Kwame Brown's parallel import index rose to 60% in an instant, that is to say, he has initially gotten rid of the curse of parallel imports... It can be seen that the reason why these guys are inferior is not entirely due to their skills and physical fitness, but psychological factors. bigger reason.

Except for the two big parallel importers, the other rookies were also greatly shocked. Fan Xi's gesture of making a move is really handsome.

Follow such a boss, no worries.

After all, in this world, there are far more bosses who fight against Laozi than bosses who fight against Laozi.

James Dolan is also the boss.

He has stated in the media that he will pay the fines of Jack Van and Kwame Brown, and that afternoon he called the media to go to the league headquarters together. He loaded a truck with 30,000 US dollars and paid the fines in coins.

This move expressed dissatisfaction with the Knicks and won unanimous praise from the New York media.

At the same time, he also said: I will not use this as a reason to deduct Jack's salary. He can still get his full salary. If he needs psychological counseling, the team will also pay for him. The cost of a psychologist.

…

Vanhee was given a long vacation, which he will take until the second weekend before the All-Star break.

This will have a profound impact on the league structure, especially the Eastern Conference playoffs.

Some people even think that the Knicks may not even make the playoffs this season, because the Knicks without Van Heede are simply an NBDL-level team. How could two or three veteran players and a group of rookies gain a foothold in the NBA?

There has been a lot of cynicism about the Knicks in the media.

By the way, some people mocked Jack Fan's five consecutive championships. Most people think that after this time, the Knicks' dream of winning this season will be broken.

Besides Fan Xi, the person most ridiculed by everyone is Gary Payton.

...Gary Payton's vision of the team is really not good. He went to the Lakers to hold his thigh. The Lakers were swept in the finals. He went to the Knicks. The Knicks didn't even make the playoffs, and Jack Van was suspended for half a game. season.

If Gary Payton goes on like this, not only will he not win the championship, but the winning teams will stay away from him in the future. He is the disaster star of the championship.

These heart-breaking theories had a real impact on Gary Payton.

He called Fan Xi many times late at night, and told Fan Xi his troubles. Fan Xi strengthened his confidence again and again, telling him: this matter is nothing, when I come back, everything will be warm and spring will bloom.

Fan Xi's words made Gary Payton dubious.

After all, he is not a veteran like Reggie Miller. Reggie Miller is very calm now. He is like clocking in to work every day on the team. He also applies for rotation from time to time. He plays the game like a vacation.

Don't worry about the team's record at all.

He also repeatedly emphasized with Gary Payton: Let these little guys play now, winning or losing is not important, and it doesn't matter whether the record is good or not. Anyway, after Jack comes back, the playoffs will definitely be fine. Don't listen to what the media said, the worry will be the Pistons, Heat, etc., they will not dare to meet us in the first round of the playoffs.

But Gary Payton is really afraid of losing throughout his career. He is like a gambler who is at a loss and lacks confidence. external symptoms.

The Knicks' record has indeed plummeted after Fan Xi left.

Under Fan Xi's instructions, the Knicks showed a rookie-based style of play, and the Knicks' way of cultivating rookies was also rather strange. The coaching staff didn't set up any special cores and made a big pot of rice. Don Cheney asked the players to fight individually on the basis of unity and to exercise their killer skills.

In this way, players can quickly find their comfort zone and quickly integrate into the game.

However, it didn't help much with the record.

Originally, the Knicks lacked experience, and coupled with such scattered play, losing streak became an inevitable trend.

During this time, Fan Xi stayed in New York. He didn't play away games with the team, but he often went to the training hall for training.

Shortly after Vanhey was suspended, his first son was born.

Unlike Fan Le.

Vanhee's first child was a boy.

But Fan Le and Madonna were so excited, they rushed to New York from Los Angeles immediately, mobilized a lot of people, and spent a lot of money. This is the third generation of the Fan family.

Fan Xi followed Fan Le's advice and named his first son Fan Zheng.

I hope that the eldest son will be upright and upright.

The English name was decided by Madonna and his mother, and finally named Bright, which means strict self-discipline, suave, and rich glory in the name.

Fan Xi didn't understand.

Madonna and the child's mother agreed.

That would be Brad.

On the third day after Fan Zheng was born, he received gifts from all his aunts. In this matter, he has a unique advantage. All the aunts expressed their joy and joy for his arrival, especially because he is extraordinarily handsome and cute. , very charming.

He entrusted many aunts with their imagination of children.

His looks even made Jennifer Aniston worry about the child she was about to have, who she feared might not be as handsome as Brad.

but.

Brad's mother is a smart woman who has always been very excited about Jennifer Aniston. She even knew that her first pregnancy was due to Jennifer's trust.

In fact, Jennifer has always had the feeling of a rich and powerful woman.

She learned a lot of Chinese culture from Madonna, and Madonna told her that your child must be a legitimate son.

However, there seems to be a variable in this. Kate Winslet also considers herself to be the official wife. She has a formal marriage contract with Fan Xi and has the same legal effect as Jennifer.

Kate Winslet loves Xiao Fanzheng very much, and she brought the most generous gifts. Not only did she bring Xiaofan Zheng a five-kilogram golden Buddha, she also bought an apartment, saying that she would give Xiaofan Zheng a proper wedding in the future house.

This wave of planning for a rainy day can be regarded as starting from scratch.

Time passed quickly, and when New Year's Day came, Kate Winslet also sent good news that she was also pregnant with Fan Xi's child.

And two weeks later, Jennifer's baby was born.

It's a boy.

Fan Xi was named Fan Cheng, implying a successful career and standing upright.

The English name was also thought up by Madonna and Jennifer together, called Melchior. The implication is the king's territory, which means great achievements and far-sightedness.

Obviously, Jennifer has perfectly inherited the ancient oriental civilization's hoping for a child to become a dragon.

This is the legitimate son in her heart, and he will inevitably inherit Fan Xiruo's wealth and empire in the future.

Fan Xi didn't think so much, he was just very happy. He had two healthy and handsome sons all at once, and he was excited like never before.

He enjoys the family atmosphere very much, this is the happiest period since he entered the league.

…

What people didn't expect was that Gary Payton took the initiative to apply for a deal before the arrival of February.

Moreover, he asked the Knicks to trade him to the Miami Heat, and he even played cards with Isiah Thomas.

Fan Xie tried to keep him, but he really didn't have confidence anymore. In his eyes... the Knicks and the young guys had no chance at all. They were just a group of energetic huskies, and they just beat up on the court.

Iguodala will be happy, and suddenly singles out with the ball.

Ariza would disagree, throwing 11 shots indiscriminately from beyond the three-point line in the half.

Al Jefferson is sometimes like a jumping master, suddenly dribbling the ball to attack from outside the three-point line, and Varejao's emergency stop jumper, they are like a group of uncontrolled artificial intelligence.

But the Knicks' coaching team indulged them incomparably.

Let them have their way.

As an experienced point guard, he can see at a glance that the Knicks have entered the source of chaos. If they continue to indulge like this, these guys will become more and more out of control, just like a big tree full of branches, there is no chance at all Touch to the highest.

The thing that makes Gary Payton most desperate is the two parallel importers of Crouching Dragon and Phoenix Young.

The self-confidence of these two people does not know where it comes from. They claim that they are the chosen ones within the team, but the group of Huskies echoed one after another. Even people with insight like Reggie Miller said that they are rare in a century. The Wizards I saw at first sight, plus Patrick Ewing and Olajuwon, for the teaching fee, all the way.

Now the duo's self-confidence has reached an unprecedented level.

When facing Duncan, Kwame Brown confidently defended him and singled him out.

When facing Duncan, Kwame Brown also screamed, slapping the floor and rushing up.

The result is naturally self-evident, it was a mess.

But, that's it, the Knicks boasted that he was unique.

Milicic found Garnett, Nowitzki, and Wallace, a large group of power forwards. He is a little different from Kwame Brown. Kwame Brown plays physical confrontation. This guy also said that his skills and IQ were much higher than these people, and he wanted to play with a high IQ, but he couldn't find the north after turning seven to eight, and made a lot of jokes.

However, the coaching team also praised him for being smart, wise and courageous, and Olajuwon even praised his pace for having obtained 90% of his essence.

So still clueless?

Under tremendous pressure, Gary Payton made a trade application.

And the kind that never looks back.

He strongly urged Isiah Thomas to be a good man, because he hasn't won a championship for so many years.

After Fan Xi heard the news, he sighed.

He ended up calling Gary Payton anyway.

But Gary Payton is determined to eat weights.

What else could Fan Xi say?

Let's get together and hang out.

So the Knicks, Heat, and Boston got together and made a three-way deal.

The Knicks sent Gary Payton and McDyess, got the rookie point guard Tony Allen that Fanhee had always wanted from Boston, and got another power forward from the Miami Heat, Haslem, plus 1 million cash from the Miami Heat plus 06 2005 first-round pick and Boston's 2005 first-round pick.

The deal was announced, and the discussion was raging again.

It is generally believed that the Knicks are heading for the No. 1 pick in 2005.
