The Point Guard is Here

Fancy drove out of Madison Gardens, and the music in the car was Britney's new song: You're the Only One.

He felt comfortable and found himself enjoying the feeling of being in control.

Before he left the Knicks' locker room, he met with the rookie he had personally drafted.

This was a session specially arranged for him by Isiah Thomas.

Team owner James Dolan also stood with Fanci to greet the four children who were selected by Fanci.

They were particularly excited when they saw Fan Xi.

Fan Xi was not as distant as he was during the trial. He smiled in front of the four excited and overwhelmed rookies, shook hands with them one by one, and called them by name.

"Andre Iguodala."

"El Jefferson."

"Andre Varejao."

"Trevor Ariza."

"You are the four players I personally selected, and this is the first time I have used my right to draft to add new strength to the team. I am very optimistic about you, and you will immediately reach a fully guaranteed contract with the team. I hope you will be here Keep working hard in the summer and see you in training camp for the new season.”

Vansh said to them.

Fan Xi spoke unnaturally with the tone of a superior.

But for these rookies, it was especially cordial and exciting.

"You must behave well, you are the real disciples of Jack. The first batch of disciples of Jack in history." James Dolan added to them.

This sentence gave these four children great courage and pride. They subconsciously straightened their backs and had great confidence and longing for the future.

"Well, congratulations to you. New millionaires and multi-millionaires."

Fan Xi laughed and said goodbye to them.

Under their gazes, Fan Xi walked to the parking lot. He no longer attended the celebration party and press conference held by the alliance later.

For Fan Xi, this can be regarded as completing a task on his mind.

…

The Knicks' championship parade is held on the Saturday after the draft.

Prior to this, Anthony Mason announced his retirement.

Mutombo, Juwan Howard, and Ratliff are all on the trade window.

Isiah Thomas has talked with the three, and they can all accept the team's arrangement.

After all, they have already won the championship and realized their biggest career dream. The next step is to find a team to retire to.

The old players are used to the wandering life.

In addition, Sprewell has also verbally agreed to sign with the Timberwolves.

This made the whole of Minnesota excited. When the news came out, the media in New York City were very confused. They thought the team should keep Madman. And the veterans shouldn't all be cleared out.

But, Isaiah Thomas doesn’t talk about any of that.

Don Cheney said that as long as Jack Fan is still there, the Knicks' championship team will be there.

On Saturday, starting at Madison Square Garden, New York City becomes a sea of ​​fun from the Upper East Side.

Fanci and his teammates stood on the float, holding the trophy high and spraying champagne towards the excited fans to celebrate their first championship in the new century.

And it is the only super sweep championship in history.

New Yorkers are so excited.

Fan Xi stood on the float, and he saw Wuyang Wuyang below were fans wearing No. 30 jerseys. Countless excited people were shouting his name and paying homage to him.

At this moment, Fan Xi really felt like he was dominating the world.

This was completely different from his previous two championship tours.

At that time, although he was the Finals MVP. But on the float, his position is relatively biased, and the media is accustomed to using Ewing and Olajuwon as the focus of the composition.

Now, who dares to steal Jack Fan’s limelight?

Jack Fan is already recognized as the number one player in the league. Now, the basketball media are discussing whether Fan Xi can successfully defend his title in the new season and whether he can realize his astonishing promises.

Of course, there are also many strong old guys who have expressed their desire to join the Knicks.

Who doesn't want to win a championship?

But Fan Xi's reaction was very dull.

The difference between him and Isiah Thomas lies here. Thomas believes that this kind of veteran is very cost-effective, but Fanshie wants to take a completely different path.

Moreover, veterans are usually more thoughtful and carefree.

It's rare that the Knicks are as united as they were last season. Moreover, after winning the championship, everyone's mentality will change.

So, it’s better to just tear it down and start over.

Fan Xi has always been a person who neither breaks up nor establishes.

No matter what Isiah Thomas said in his ears about other teams building strong teams, it didn't change his mind.

Currently, the crazier news comes from Miami.

The Heat are launching a strong pursuit of Shaquille O'Neal, and Pat Riley is frantically gathering old players, and Alonzo Mourning is inspired by him to return to Miami.

This is what Isiah Thomas regrets most. He feels that if Fanshey calls Mourning, Mourning will definitely join New York for the sake of the championship and brotherhood.

However, Fanci has always refused to compete and believes that there is no place for Mourning in the team.

Fancy has been pushing Isiah Thomas to trade Ratliff for Kwame Brown.

Thomas thinks Fanshie's head is crazy. Ratliff is such a stable veteran and such a reliable defender. How about exchanging him for a parallel import?

Wouldn’t Washington die laughing?

Also, Fanci said that he can meet any conditions of the Pistons, but he must bring Milicic over.

Isiah Thomas couldn't understand it either.

He and Fan Xi quarreled many times.

However, for Thomas, quarrels are quarrels, and things still have to be done.

The Champions Tour was very lively, with huge crowds everywhere and lasted for more than four hours.

When Fan Xi returned to the lounge, his whole body was covered in sweat.

He will rest here for a while, then go to the airport in the evening, then head to Asia for a new round of promotion, and then he will go to Athens with the national team to play in the Olympics.

This year's dream team is quite luxurious. Except for Kobe, all the superstars of Fan Xi's generation are here.

The reason why Kobe didn't come was because he lost in the finals and didn't want to play anymore. He locked himself in a mansion in Los Angeles and didn't go anywhere. He just watched the finals every day.

The only pastime was his wife, and Vanessa was almost fucked to pieces by him.

Fanci called Kobe twice after the finals. Kobe calmed down, but he said he didn't want to see Fanci again.

This made Fan Xi feel that Kobe's head was funny, and he planned to go to Los Angeles sometime to take him out and beat him up.

There is a limit to tsundere.

Grant Hill is not a proud person.

After he rested with Fan Xi for twenty minutes, he came over and had a private chat with Fan Xi.

Grant Hill really wants to continue playing alongside Fanshie. They are rookies in the same class and once endorsed the same brand. They have always had a good relationship.

However, his agent is very persistent in asking the Knicks to give him a buyout of no less than 30 million US dollars and a contract extension of up to 5 years.

Grant Hill also didn’t want his own interests to be harmed.

No one has trouble with money.

Fan Xi knew this situation, but he didn't have any shares in the Knicks, so he was too lazy to worry about it.

On one side is Grant Hill, a great teammate.

On one side is James Dolan, a good friend who has been playing since childhood.

He didn't take sides and let them handle it themselves.

Grant Hill said to Fancy, "Jack, I might be going back to Detroit."

Fan Xi was surprised when Hill said this.

Grant Hill made his debut with the Pistons. After the collapse of the Bad Boys, the Pistons had always hoped that Hill would lead the Pistons to a strong recovery, but it never had good results.

In the past two seasons, the Pistons have become stronger with the arrival of Larry Brown.

Last season, the Knicks defeated the Pistons very dangerously. Although it was 4:0, it is difficult to say that there was no luck involved. A slight mistake could lead to a comeback.

In the Eastern Conference Finals, the Knicks have been walking on a tightrope.

The reason why the Pistons are so passive is not because their lineup is not neat and their defense is not tough, but because they do not have the final say. Billups has this ability, but he is too weak.

But if Grant Hill goes there.

With Grant Hill's current style of play, it is absolutely seamless. Not only is the defensive integration no problem, the offense is also a big problem for the forwards.

As a result, the Pistons will be stronger than ever in the new season.

Fan Xi was stunned for about five or six seconds. He asked Hill: "Have you made a decision?"

"The front office and I haven't come to an agreement," Hill said.

Fan Xi nodded and he said oh.

Then there was a long silence.

Grant Hill arrived in New York from Orlando and the Knicks arguably saved his career.

The Knicks kept him recuperating from his injury, and only after he fully recovered did he let him come on the court, with full tactical coverage, allowing him to start from the bench.

Of course, he also used all his talents in the game.

Both parties achieve a win-win situation.

It stands to reason that the buyout amount given by the Knicks is also adequate, and James Dolan is not a stingy person.

However, who would think that money is too little?

"Pay attention to rest more and rotate more. If Larry Brown asks you to practice extra, just go to hell. Don't put too much pressure on yourself. You are already a championship."

Fancy said to Grant Hill.

Grant Hill burst into tears.

After seeing you for thousands of miles, we must say goodbye.

Fan Xi was still very emotional when she got on the plane.

The departure of Madman and Hill made him very sad, but he was the kind of person who didn't want to harm the interests of his teammates.

He couldn't generously make the decision for James Dolan, because James Dolan also had his own way of doing business.

He couldn't selfishly play the emotional card and let Hill and the madman stay.

He knew very clearly that the madman called him before he decided to leave, and that Hill had a private chat with him this afternoon, all waiting for a word from him.

If Fan Xi asked them to stay, they would definitely stay and accompany Fan Xi to make another success.

However, Fan Xi couldn't say it.

Even if he knows that this will create two super strong teams, the Minnesota Timberwolves last season, with the support of Garnett, Marbury and others, have already reached the Western Conference Finals. With the addition of Sprewell next season, they are still not allowed to take off?

Last season, the Detroit Pistons were already in the Eastern Conference Finals with the performance of the five ordinary people. Next season, with the addition of Grant Hill, will they be able to fly higher and sprint harder?

"That's what emotional people are like."

LeBron James sat next to Fan Xi. He said to Fan Xi: "If it were me, I would say that you are all the emperor's people, and you should fight with your emperor. Of course, I also let the management Leave them alone and satisfy some of their desires.”

James has a very smart brain.

Very rational and with a broad perspective.

In comparison, Fan Xi is more emotional.

"How about you trade me to New York. We play father-son basketball, and we are full of tricks and invincible. If we join forces, there is no problem in winning five consecutive championships, dad." James held Fan Xi's hand excitedly.

Fan Xi told his children helplessly: "You are the little king of Cleveland. We have no leverage at all unless we send me there."

James sighed, feeling more or less sad.

He also went to Asia to promote.

LeBron James' popularity in Asia is pretty good, but obviously not as high as in the United States.

In the United States, his reputation has skyrocketed. Nike promotes him around the clock and positions his sneakers as the highest level of the group, even Kobe Bryant's signature shoes are below him.

Americans like him very much, a strong and mature player with a bit of the chosen one's attributes.

But here in Asia, people prefer to call him Fan's son.

His nickname in the finale is Little Emperor.

Fan Xi had never been nicknamed Emperor or Great Emperor, but because James always called him Dad, he inexplicably got the nickname Emperor or Great Emperor.

Fan Xi is happy to be a father, and is happy to be a father.

"Jack, our dream team is for real this year. You have never seen such a strong dream team."

LeBron James chatted with Fanci about the Olympics.

He is a member of this year's U.S. team.

However, unlike the parallel world, this time, Vince Carter, Tracy McGrady, and Ray Allen did not withdraw, so correspondingly, Carmelo Anthony, Dwyane Wade, and Emeka Okafor did not enter. The final list.

However, James was selected as the future star of American basketball.

"They all want to kill you in the Olympics. If it weren't for Kobe's late registration, he would have joined in. We are the Avengers this year." James said to Fan Xi.

Fan Xi smiled.

The Avengers? Very good term.

This year’s Dream Six team has assembled Tim Duncan, Allen Iverson, Stephon Marbury, Kevin Garnett, Vince Carter, Lamar Odom, Tracy McGrady, Ray Allen, Jason Kidd, St. Tadmire, LeBron James, and Shawn Marion are 12 official players.

It can be said that they have captured all the superstars of the Pan-96 generation in one fell swoop.

The two most powerful No. 21 power forwards in the league are all here.

Three of the four top shooting guards in the league are here.

There are also three top five point guards in the league.

There are also rising stars such as LeBron James and Stoudemire, which can be said to be full of talents.

This lineup is all for Fan Xi.

"I'm afraid if I snap my fingers, half of you will disappear."

Fan Xi teased with a smile.
