The Point Guard is Here

"...Yes, Jack is my dad. Maybe, you can call him LeBron Van James."

Fan Xi sat in front of the TV. He, Yao Huang and Wang Zhizhi were stunned for three consecutive times.

This is an interview James gave to Chinese media.

He openly admitted this matter in the live broadcast room, which made the host very curious and asked many stories about him and Fan Xi.

James is a sincere man. He told stories and accidents about Uncle Fan and his aunt, and then talked about his life in New York, and the story of Fan Xi opening a burger restaurant for his family and taking him to NBA training camps every summer.

"While other peers were still practicing on the streets, I was already receiving training from the best trainers in the NBA. In New York and Los Angeles, this is why my physical fitness is so strong."

"If it weren't for Jack, I would be just an ordinary black kid on the streets of Akron. Maybe one day I would be shot..."

LeBron James said it very movingly.

This made Fan Xi feel a little guilty, because from the first time he met James, he knew that James was a medal player, even though he was only 8 years old at the time.

Even without himself, James will still be James.

This is the reason why Fan Xi refuses in his heart that James calls him dad. He feels that these things have nothing to do with him.

However, for James and his family, it is a completely different feeling.

There are too many kids similar to James on their streets, and many guys are in much better physical condition than James. However, none of them succeeded and suffered from all kinds of troubles while growing up.

Since James met Fan Xi, his life has been much better than that of ordinary middle-class families in the United States. He has no worries about food and clothing and can devote himself to basketball. During holidays, he can also go to the city where Fan Xi is located to receive the best training.

Therefore, it is understandable that James believes that his success is the help of Fan Xi.

Any normal person would think so.

Many experts and commentators in the NBA have said this, believing that James' amazing talent is due to Fan Xi's professional training since childhood.

This made Fan Xi very embarrassed and always felt that he had taken advantage.

However, looking back, Fanxi is really serious about James.

"You have created a super strong opponent for our Chinese team." Yao Huang joked with a smile.

Yao Huang has played in the NBA for two seasons.

He has already made a name for himself. As the No. 1 pick in 2002, his name has been closely linked to the All-Stars. More and more people believe that he will become the league's No. 1 center.

Fan Xi actually helped Yao Huang in many ways. Before Yao Huang even made a splash in China, Fan Xi took advantage of his position, or the fact that he was his aunt as the owner of the Los Angeles Clippers, to bring a large number of national team players to the United States for training.

Among them is Yao Huang.

Therefore, Yao Huang's physical fitness is better than that of Yao Wei in the parallel world, and he is more adaptable to NBA confrontation.

In addition, another potential help of Fan Xi to Yao Huang is that because of Fan Xi's presence, the strength of other players in the national team has also improved rapidly, and Wang Zhizhi has become a super bug in Asia.

Therefore, Yao Shuan did not play back and forth in the summer. He spent more time taking care of his body, which was a great hidden help to his career.

You know, giants are easily injured.

Shaquille O'Neal has been so lazy and greedy for so many years, and he has inevitably been affected by some injuries. However, it is precisely because of his lazy and greedy nature that he has not suffered any major career-threatening injuries.

Fan Xi often asks Yao Huang to learn from O'Neal.

However, Yao Huang is a hard-working person and he trains actively every summer. Under Fan Xi's advice, he trained the most in swimming and is now a white dragon in the waves.

"Dayao, according to James' logic, you should also call Fan Xi daddy." Wang Zhizhi joked with a smile.

When Fan Xi heard this, he quickly stretched out his hand to stop. He said, "I'm only less than three years older than Dayao. I'm just a little bit senior. Don't make fun of me."

Ha ha ha ha.

The strongest trio in Chinese basketball are laughing loudly.

This year's Athens Olympics is hailed as the most powerful event for Chinese men's basketball. As early as 1996, the Chinese team won unprecedented honors. But in the Olympics, the Chinese team never achieved a real breakthrough.

In Sydney, Fanshi averaged 23.6 points, 11.8 assists and 7.6 rebounds per game. He was awarded the best performance in men's basketball at the Sydney Olympics, but he still did not help the national team prove the supreme goal.

Now as Yao Shuan matures and Wang Zhizhi reaches his peak, coupled with a large group of domestic small forwards who are above the standard and have different skills, domestic fans hope that the Chinese men's basketball team can create an unprecedented miracle and win a gold medal for the country.

Just like Fan Xi in the NBA league.

Fanci has now firmly established himself in Asia. While there are still some doubts in the United States whether to list Fanci as the number one player in today's basketball world, in Asia, Fanci's status has surpassed Jordan's.

In Japan and South Korea, Fan Xi's popularity is incredibly high. This time Fan Xi went there for a tour. Everywhere she went, people jumped on her feet. It was a bit low-key to describe it as a crowded place.

After all, in these two places, their fear of the United States is deep-rooted in their bones, but seeing Fan Xi, who has the same skin color, achieve such high honors in their father's country, they can no longer suppress their inner feelings of admiration.

Koreans are already conducting research to prove that Fan Xi is Korean.

Fanxi brand has long dominated various lists in Japan. Even a pair of simple slippers can be sold for sky-high prices after being worn by Fanxi.

Back in China, Fan Xi has long been the most famous person in various degrees.

From telephone poles in rural areas to billboards in big cities, Fan Xi's handsome face can be seen everywhere.

In Wang Zhizhi's words, Fan Xi, you are now just one step away from winning an Olympic gold medal. I always feel that many years from now, children will see your name in textbooks.

Fan Xi wants the Olympic gold medal more than anyone else, because the United States is watching him more closely than anything else.

This season, after Fanshie defeated the Lakers in the Finals, he became a "public enemy" in American basketball to a certain extent.

It's like a black American went to the Chinese Table Tennis League and killed all the seeded players.

Can you bear it?

That's why this year's dream team is all about the best.

Especially the Pan 96 batch of superstars.

Except for Kobe, almost everyone came.

Interestingly, the head coach of this year's Dream Team is not Old K, but Larry Brown, who was KOed by Fanshie in the Eastern Conference Finals.

This is more or less a personal grudge.

Before Fanci returned to China, Larry Brown was already working in Las Vegas. He described to the outside media: "The mental state of our team is extremely good, and everyone wants to contribute everything to the country. . Allen and Tim are our leaders and they've done everything."

"We have no opponent, our opponent is ourselves. We want to get back the championship that belongs to us."

Larry Brown obviously let his words slip.

Because, when talking about the Olympic Games, people prefer to use gold medals rather than championships to describe them.

And no matter how the dream team tried to avoid it, it was impossible to avoid Fan Xi.

Fanshie has de facto become the first player in the NBA. In the Dream Team, except for Duncan, he can beat almost everyone on the table and say: I am not targeting anyone...

Among them, Tracy McGrady was undoubtedly the most directly suppressed by Fan Xi.

Fanci won all the MVPs in the past 2003-04 season, and also took away the scoring champion that McGrady won.

Tracy McGrady originally wanted to become the scoring champion, Guangzong Yaozu, and he even made it clear that he would brush up on statistics.

Little did he know that Fan Xi was a "wolf by nature" and didn't give in to him at all. He abruptly scored 88 points and ruthlessly took away his scoring title.

It’s been a long time since Tracy McGrady has boasted.

After the season ended, he finally went to practice more.

Although no one knows how long he can work hard, he at least shows this attitude.

He was traded to Houston on draft night, and is about to form a new inside and outside combination with Fan Xi's compatriot Yao Huang.

Fans are looking forward to this combination.

After all, Tracy McGrady is the number one shooting guard behind Kobe Bryant.

Yao Huang is the most exciting super center prospect under O'Neal.

Plus head coach Jeff Van Gundy.

This is to copy the legend of OK Group.

It's hard for Tracy McGrady not to feel proud amidst the media's praise. He said, I will teach Yao Huang how to survive in the NBA, and I will make him the best center in the league. Together, we will never win more than five championships.

McGrady is like this, he likes to brag whenever he feels like it. And there is no basis at all, so you dare to take out a loan, which is equivalent to zero down payment.

And once he fails to complete his so-called awesome career, he will blame his teammates for not doing their best. Anyway, he tried his best.

Regarding this year’s Olympic Games, classmate Tracy McGrady also gave important instructions.

Although in all the promotion of the US team, he is not the core. This year's dream team is recognized as a two-talker, with Tim Duncan and Allen Iverson standing in the C position.

However, Tracy McGrady talks a lot.

He speaks to the media from time to time.

"Chinese team? Spain? Italy? Argentina? Our only goal this year is to break the Dream Team's record for the largest point difference. It's not a gold medal. Isn't the gold medal already in your pocket?"

Tracy McGrady is so upright.

His remarks also reached China.

If it were in the past, if Fan Xi and Yao Huang were not in charge, the domestic media would not think Tracy McGrady is arrogant.

But now, the Chinese team is the second seed to win the championship. Tracy McGrady is so arrogant, who can tolerate him?

Although the domestic media is not as limitless as the American media, they still criticize him with the implicitness unique to the East.

He said Tracy McGrady was young and frivolous, and asked Yao Huang to be careful when working with him in the future.

Fan Xi did not say anything bad about Tracy McGrady to Yao Huang. He was the kind of person who would never interfere with his friends' interactions with him, no matter how unhappy he was with the other party.

Because he knows that people have different ways of getting along with each other.

Maybe I hate Tracy McGrady's style, but Yao Huang is a perfect match for him. You can't say for sure what a chemical reaction is.

Besides, in the NBA, even teammates rarely have friends. It is unique for someone like Fan Xi to be good friends with most of his teammates.

Normally, the relationship between NBA players is like colleagues. Everyone just practices in the training hall, works well together on the court, then pats their butts and goes back to their respective homes.

How can there be so many true friendships in professional basketball.

…

Fan Xi met many young guys in the national team training camp. Because of Fan Xi's suggestion, this time the national team training camp recruited a roster of 50 people, and everyone trained together.

Fan Xi has always been a player who is committed to allowing new basketball players to continue to emerge. He and his brand have been exporting professional training methods and promoting scientific nutrition systems to the country.

These have made great progress in the domestic basketball system. Moreover, thanks to Fan Xi's success in the NBA, Wang Zhizhi, Battelle, and Yao Wei successively landed in the NBA. More and more young people in China have entered the basketball field, and many talents who should not have been discovered have been discovered.

Moreover, domestic professional leagues are becoming more and more commercial and professional.

Fan Xi has brought many foreign sponsors to the CBA, and through his connections has brought many talents working in the training system in the United States to domestic clubs.

More money, more influence.

The professionalization of CBA has accelerated by at least 30 years compared to parallel time and space.

Fan Xi looked at the young people in the training hall who were playing more and more solidly, and he was very excited.

He knows that there may never be a monster player like him in the country: after all, his physical fitness is a rare hexagonal fighter even in the United States.

However, we can still look forward to a weakened version of Ginobili among domestic players.

"Basketball doesn't necessarily rely on physical fitness, skills, willpower, shooting... these can change the game."

"If you have talent in shooting, practice this skill to become the best in the world."

"If you can defend, then make your defensive awareness the best in the world."

"It all depends on you. As long as you believe in yourself, you can do it."

Fan Xi is probably older now, and he likes to nag in front of young players.

And the little guys in China have long regarded him as a god, and everyone is proud to hear his ‘tips’.

Yi Jianlian, Xu Yong, Sun Yue...these are the new generation of stars emerging in the country. These players have very good physical fitness.

Fan Xi pays close attention to them all. He has always suggested that Yi Jianlian practice as a small forward and improve his ball control. He also reminded him that he must take long-distance shots and improve his shot speed.

Yi's physical talent is very good among yellow people. His jumping, explosive power and even wingspan can compare with black athletes.

However, these are not enough.

These can only allow him to make a living in China and Asia.

If you want to go to the NBA and make a name for yourself there, you have to have real skill and skill.

Fan Xi wanted to take him to see the world during this year's Olympics.
