The Point Guard is Here

It was a 30-minute drive from Fan Xi's mansion to the hotel. As soon as Fan Xi got in the car, he received a call from Elgin Baylor.

Baylor said to Fan Xi very respectfully on the phone: Jack, do you have any other instructions for the next transaction?

Baylor is an honest man, he has no faults in his behavior, and he treats Fan Xi very well.

He just doesn't have the ability, he can mess up anything.

His most glorious moment was in the summer of 1996, when he secured a group of potential players. But after he was there, he became a bright light in the industry. Any player he was optimistic about was picked up by others immediately. Even if he chatted with a potential rookie for a while in the training camp, things would easily happen.

Fanshie is always sad about this. He still feels psychedelic. In the past seven years, Elgin Baylor has not done anything he told him to do.

Fan Xi is a person who believes in science, but in the case of Elgin Baylor, he believes in superstition... We are really incompatible. No one named Baylor has a fuel-efficient lamp.

Fan Xi said: There are no instructions anymore, just work hard on your own.

Although Baylor is not good at trading, he is good at generating revenue. He has made the Clippers the team with the most brand sponsors. He has made the Clippers’ ticket prices equal to those of the three-peat Lakers. In the past seven years, he has succeeded The Clippers have also become an aristocratic team.

He took the greatest credit for this matter.

So, Madonna never fired him.

So, when will we renew the contract? Jack. Although this is just a process, it always needs to be signed. We have prepared a maximum salary for you for 6 years, and you can get another $135 million contract.

Elgin Baylor never thought that Fanshie would leave the Los Angeles Clippers. After all, it was all his own business. Although Uncle Van Leer is not a fuel-efficient lamp, and he has always had a place in Hollywood's Secret Garden, anyone who has met Madonna knows that this seemingly unmatched marriage is actually impossible to separate.

Fan Xi thought for a while and said, I'll give you an answer in two days.

Fan Xi hung up the phone. He was really tired of life in Los Angeles. It was as if he was tired of the four or five paparazzi cars following him from outside the villa.

Fanshi is the focus of the media.

Authoritative experts estimate that

At least 30 media outlets in Los Angeles depend on Fanci's news, and Fanci feeds hundreds of paparazzi.

It even forms a weird Fanxi economy.

The only person who can compete with Fan Xi in this matter is Britney, the sweetheart of the century, and Britney has always been involved with Fan Xi. Two years ago, Fanshi had a fight with her rumored boyfriend Justin at the Nokia Theater and even triggered the biggest public opinion in the United States.

The car drove down from Beverly Hills, and then Fancy got a call from Madonna.

The aunt's tone on the phone was a little sad. She said that she sensed a resurgence between Fanler and that damn Cleveland woman, because that woman's nephew became an NBA superstar and was signed by the Cavaliers with the first overall pick. During the draft, Fan Le flirted with her.

Fanci said that there was no such thing and that Fanler was not at Madison Garden at the time.

Madonna is still suspicious.

Then she invited Fan Xi to her home as a guest, and said that Fan Xi would persuade Fan Le to try to have a second child.

Fan Xi agreed verbally.

But his whole brain was paralyzed.

It is difficult for an upright official to deal with household matters, not to mention that this household matter belongs to his own family.

In this matter, Fanler is indeed innocent.

It's true that Fanler didn't get back together with James' aunt, but he was definitely a heartthrob. After Fan Le turned 35, he became more mature and charming. Even Anjulina openly confessed to him and said she wanted to date him.

However, Madonna is very strict in her control, and it is unknown whether they have any private exchanges.

To be honest, on this matter.

Fan Xi has a headache.

Originally, they had a chance to get the Cavaliers' draft pick before the Cavaliers picked the No. 1 pick. At that time, the trade was only a matter of time. Fanshie and Elgin Baylor both spent almost half of their teams in exchange with the Cavaliers.

This is the closest Baylor has come to success, and if he reaches this deal, he is likely to go down in history.

However, Madonna, who never interfered with team operations, interfered with the transaction for the only time. She was naturally allergic to Cleveland, and after learning that the Cavaliers were likely to get the No. 1 pick, and that LeBron James from Cleveland was already destined to be the No. 1 pick, she vetoed the deal.

She's worried about Fanler and LeBron James' aunt resurrecting.

So... Fan Xi has a grudge in this matter.

He knows James' energy all too well.

This guy is the top player among medal players. If he can be dealt with, Fanshie is confident that he can win the championship within three years. At this time, he would not think about escaping Los Angeles.

When they were about to arrive in the city center, Fan Xi received the third call.

It was Tom, the second in command of the brokerage team, who claimed to be the chief clerk. He told Fan Xi: Apple finally decided to choose Yao Huang as the spokesperson for notebooks.

Fan Xi spread his hands.

He had never lost an endorsement before, and almost as soon as the other party showed interest in him and he quoted a price, he would sign immediately.

They think it's more impactful to have the giant Yao Huang and a dwarf shoot a commercial together, and they say the economic aspect is also an important reason. The price quoted by Yao's team is only one-third of ours. The Apple brand said, you As the largest non-institutional individual shareholder, you should be able to empathize.”

Fan Xi nodded and said he understood.

Since entering the league in 1994, Fanci seems to have entered a bottleneck period. His reputation is still the highest in the NBA, but when talking about strength, he will always be at the back of the list, just a goalkeeper.

This gave Fan Xi a headache.

The Pan-96 generation has emerged in an all-round way, and they have set off the climax of the post-Jordan era.

The alliance has entered the era of gods competing for the throne.

Fan Xi seemed to have gotten up early and then rushed to a late gathering.

Fan Xi called FanX brand in front of the hotel, which is the phone number of the general manager of Fan Xi brand. Fanxi brand officially became Fanxi's sole proprietorship in 1999. This was a big move made by Delfina. He took advantage of the debt crisis of Fila's parent company and forced Fanxi's brand to be divested under coercion and inducement. Fanxi spent 20 million US dollars to buy out the relationship between them.

This was an acceptable price for Fan Xi, but Fila was extremely painful, and they had to reluctantly give up the golden hen. Because Delphine said that if Fila did not accept it, they would raise funds from Europe to acquire them directly.

Fila is still ambitious and they don't want to just disappear. Therefore, we chose to take away the cash and resume production.

Today, this is the seventh official signature shoe launched by the FanX brand since its independence.

After the turn of the millennium, the Fanshie brand has achieved explosive growth in Asia. The sales volume of sneakers has topped the list, and its market share has also been rising, second only to Nike and Adidas.

However, the general manager recently told Fan Xi that the impact of Nike and Adidas was very strong. The sales of Tracy McGrady's signature shoes, Kobe's signature shoes, and the previous Jordan series have steadily increased in Asia. The NBA's marketing dividends have fallen on every superstar.

Moreover, from the perspective of the North American market, LeBron James, who has just signed a super contract with Nike, will become the flagship product that Nike focuses on building. He is known as the one who has the best chance to defeat the Vandenheede series and Jordan series in the domestic sneaker market in the United States. .

Because this guy gained exposure around Fan Xi at a very young age, and by the time he was in high school, he had become a nationally famous star.

The mass base is very solid, and fans generally hope that he will become the new generation of basketball god. This is why Nike wants him to wear the No. 23 jersey.

LeBron James has always done well.

After Fan Xi finished chatting with the general manager, he walked into the hotel lobby.

He is thinking.

In the past seven years, he has been improving all the time, and his talent is growing every day. However, due to the lack of off-field adventures, the medal players he met no longer said to him like they used to: If you have any of my talents, you can alright.

Therefore, he did not achieve a qualitative leap, while the group of real medal players made rapid progress.

However...it is right that hard work can make up for failure. Fan Xi feels that he is about to usher in a qualitative leap, both in terms of physical fitness and technology.

And this leap will inevitably affect the current alliance structure.

Fan Xi has always been confident in herself.

…

Meanwhile, Isaiah Thomas and the unshaven James Dolan sat in the box.

Isaiah Thomas was the head coach of the Eastern Conference in last year's All-Star Game. He gave Michael Jordan the ball at the last moment, but it was ruined by Vanhey. Vanhey blocked Jordan and scored Jordan's last dance. .

In a way, Thomas was having fun.

Just like when Fanci defeated Jordan in the 1996 Finals, he always felt that he and Fanci had a close relationship. He always believed that Fanci was his true successor and the true ruler of the league.

The current situation is very similar to that of the late 1980s, when all the heroes came together and everyone had their own piece of the mountain. After the Lakers lost the championship last season, every superstar on every team wanted to be the next ruler. .

This is the best of times.

Isaiah Thomas said affectionately: I think Jack will be a true superstar to dominate this era.

The Smiling Assassin's regard for Fancy was very pleasing to James Dolan.

James Dolan himself liked the Assassins very much. After learning that he also admired Fanshie very much, he made him a confidant. He felt that he was relieved to hand over the team to Thomas.

Thomas is also quite determined and heroic.

At the same time, the new season point guard rankings are being broadcast on TV.

...Next season's top point guard ranking will naturally be Jason Kidd. He has led the team to the finals twice in a row. He has used practical actions to prove to the world who is the best point guard in the 1994 class.

The second-ranked point guard next season is Allen Iverson. Although it is a bit surprising to put him in this place. But Philadelphia's answer will always be Allen Iverson. He is still the unbreakable No. 1 player in the 96th class. One person, Kobe Bryant is still a hair away from him.”

The third-ranked point guard next season is Steve Marbury. Marbury led the Suns to the playoffs last season. If Allen Iverson is excluded, he is indeed the second-best point guard in the world. .

The next one is Jack. But I think Jack Fan's name should be put together with old guys like Stockton and Gary Payton, because it seems that they are people of the same era...

The host's words were sarcastic.

Thomas was so angry that he turned off the TV.

Obviously Fan Xi is the youngest person on this list, but he entered the league before he was 17 years old.

He is two years younger than this year's No. 1 pick, LeBron James, joining the league.

This shows how amazing Fan Xi was back then.

At the same time that Thomas turned off the TV, Fan Xi walked in.

When he saw James Dolan, he immediately hugged him warmly.

Facing Isaiah Thomas, he also acted like an old friend.

Thomas was his talent, and Thomas played an important role in being selected in the draft that year.

At the beginning, Fan Xi was still a country boy from Virginia. If it weren't for participating in the training camp organized by the Smiling Assassin and cooperating with the American cable TV station to form a similar reality talent show, he would not have been so famous in New York State. Wouldn't be drafted later by Pat Riley and then-general manager Dave Schertz.

Jack, we're here to offer you a max-salary contract. James Dolan said straight to the point.

Fanshie was angry about another thing. He said to James Dolan: Old man, I still feel bad about you kicking out Charles Oakley and Patrick Ewing. I don't think you should treat them like this. They are Nick The hero of Sri Lanka’s championship.”

Dolan held up his hands apologetically.

Then, he said: I have contacted Patrick and Charles. If they retire, they can come to the club immediately.

But you know it, Jack. I've never liked them.

James Dolan said candidly.

He made no secret in front of Fan Xi: I have wanted to trade them for a long time.

Fan Xi also knew it.

James Dolan is an emotional person. If other bosses say such things, they may be excused. But when Dolan said this, he naturally showed his true feelings.

Jack, the team has reached a very critical moment, and we need you. James Dolan looked at Fan Xi with longing eyes. It felt like a pet dog that has been wandering for many years meets its owner again.

However, my reputation now is not as loud as it was seven years ago. Fan Xi said mockingly: There are many players who have come from behind, and they are more recognized.

That's what others think, Jack. In my heart, you have always been the embodiment of miracles. With you here, I won't be afraid of the sky falling. James Dolan straightened his back and said.

His masculinity seemed strange to Fan Xi.
