The Point Guard Is Here

Four Hundred Thirty-Six: Olympic Games 1

“…Yes, Jack is my dad. Maybe, you can call him LeBron-Fan-James.”

Fan Xi sat in front of the TV. He, Yao Ming and Wang Zhizhi were all stunned.

This was James’ interview with the Chinese media.

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

James is a sincere person. He told the story and accident of Uncle Fanle and his aunt, and then talked about his life in New York, and the story of Fan Xi opening a hamburger shop for his family and taking him to the NBA training camp every summer.

“When other people of my age were still practicing on the streets, I was already trained by the best trainers in the NBA. In New York and Los Angeles, this is why my physical fitness is so strong.”

“If there was no Jack, I would just be an ordinary black kid on the streets of Akron, and maybe one day I would be shot dead…”

LeBron James said it quite movingly.

This made Fan Xi feel a little ‘guilty’, because he knew that James was a medalist from the first time he met James, although he was only 8 years old at that time.

Even without himself, James would be James.

This is why Fan Xi refused to let James call him dad in his heart. He felt that these things had nothing to do with him.

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

There were too many kids like James on their streets, and many of them were much better physically than James. However, they did not play well and suffered all kinds of troubles during their growth.

Since James met Fan Xi, he has lived much better than the average middle-class family in the United States. He has no worries about food and clothing and can devote himself to basketball. During every holiday, he can go to Fan Xi's city to receive the best training.

Therefore, it is understandable that James thinks that his success is due to Fan Xi's help.

Any normal person would think so.

Many NBA experts and commentators said so, believing that James' amazing talent is due to Fan Xi's professional training from childhood to adulthood.

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

However, turning around, Fan Xi was really good to James.

"You have trained a super strong opponent for our Chinese team." Yao Ming smiled and joked.

Yao Ming has played in the NBA for two seasons.

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

Fan Xi actually helped Yao Ming in many ways. Since Yao Ming had not yet made his mark in China, Fan Xi took advantage of his position, or the fact that the owner of the Los Angeles Clippers was his aunt, to bring a large group of national team players to the United States for training.

Among them was Yao Ming.

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

In addition, Fan Xi's other potential help to Yao Ming 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 the Asian region.

Therefore, Yao Ming did not play games back and forth in the summer, but was more often in maintaining his body, which was a great hidden help to his career.

You know, giants are very easy to get injured.

Shaquille O'Neal has been so lazy and greedy for so many years that he can't avoid some injuries. However, it is precisely because of his laziness that he has not suffered any serious injuries that endanger his career.

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

However, Yao Ming is a hard-working person. He actively trains every summer. Under Fan Xi's suggestion, he has the most swimming training and is now a big white dragon in the waves.

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

When Fan Xi heard it, he quickly reached out and stopped him. He said, "I am only less than three years older than Dayao. I am just a little older. Don't make fun of me."

Hahahaha.

The strongest trio of Chinese basketball laughed out loud.

This year's Athens Olympics is hailed as the strongest one for Chinese men's basketball. As early as 1996, the Chinese team won unprecedented honors. But in the Olympics, the Chinese team has never made a real breakthrough.

In Sydney, Fan Xi averaged 23.6 points, 11.8 assists and 7.6 rebounds per game, and was named the best player in the men's basketball team at the Sydney Olympics, but he still failed to help the national team achieve supremacy.

Now, with the maturity of Yao Ming and the peak of Wang Zhizhi, coupled with a large number of small forwards with 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.

Fan Xi has already established himself as a god in Asia. When the United States is still wondering whether to list Fan Xi as the number one player in today's basketball world, Fan Xi's status in Asia has surpassed Jordan.

In Japan and South Korea, Fan Xi's popularity is incredibly high. This time, Fan Xi went there and everywhere he went, people were all over the place. It is a bit low-key to describe it as empty streets.

After all, in these two places, they have a deep-rooted fear of the United States, but seeing Fan Xi, who has the same skin color, achieve such a high honor in their father country, they can't suppress their inner admiration for the strong.

Koreans are already verifying that Fan Xi is Korean.

The Fan Xi brand has long dominated various charts in Japan, and even a pair of simple slippers can be sold at a sky-high price after Fan Xi wears them.

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

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

In the words of Wang Zhizhi, Fan Xi, you are now only one step away from winning an Olympic gold medal to be remembered in history. I always feel that many years later, 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 Fan Xi defeated the Lakers in the finals, he has become the "public enemy" of American basketball to some extent.

It's like an American black man went to the Chinese table tennis league and killed all the seeded players.

Can you tolerate it?

That's why the Dream Team's elite players are all out this year.

Especially the superstars of the 96 generation.

Except Kobe, almost all of them are here.

Interestingly, the head coach of this year's Dream Team is not K, but Larry Brown, who was KO'd by Fan Xi in the Eastern Conference Finals.

This is more or less a personal grudge.

Before Fan Xi returned to China, Larry Brown had already worked 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 have done everything. "

"We have no opponents, our opponents are ourselves. We want to take back the championship that belongs to us."

Larry Brown's words obviously slipped.

Because, when talking about the Olympics, people prefer to use gold medals rather than championships to describe it.

And no matter how the Dream Team avoids, it is impossible to avoid Fan Xi.

Fan Xi has become the first player in the NBA. In the Dream Team, except for Duncan, he can slam the table and say to almost everyone: I am not targeting anyone...

Among them, Tracy McGrady is undoubtedly the one who is most directly suppressed by Fan Xi.

Fan Xi took all the MVPs in the past 03-04 season, and also took away McGrady's scoring title.

McGrady originally wanted to win the scoring title for consecutive years to bring glory to his family, and even put the data on the table.

Who knew that Fan Xi was a "wolf by nature" and didn't let him go at all. He scored 88 points and took away his scoring title without mercy.

Tracy McGrady hasn't boasted for a long time.

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

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

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

Fans are full of expectations for their combination.

After all, Tracy McGrady is the first shooting guard after Kobe.

Yao Ming is the most exciting super center seedling after O'Neal.

Plus head coach Jeff Van Gundy.

This is to replicate the legend of the OK combination.

It is difficult for Tracy McGrady not to be proud of the media's praise. He said, I will teach Yao Ming how to survive in the NBA, I will make him the best center in the league, and we will win more than five championships together.

McGrady is like this. He likes to brag when he is in the mood. And he dares to "borrow" the record without any basis, which is equivalent to zero down payment.

Once he fails to complete his so-called awesome career, he will blame his teammates for not being strong, anyway, he tried his best.

Regarding this year's Olympics, Tracy McGrady also made important instructions.

Although he is not the core in all the US team propaganda. This year's Dream Team is recognized as having two people in charge, Tim Duncan and Allen Iverson standing in the C position.

But Tracy McGrady is a talkative person.

He speaks to the media every now and then.

"The Chinese team? Spain? Italy? Argentina? Our only goal this year is to break the record of the biggest score difference set by the Dream Team. It's not about the gold medal. Isn't the gold medal already in our pocket?"

Tracy McGrady is so straightforward.

His remarks have also spread to China.

If it was before, if Fan Xi and Yao Ming were not in charge, the domestic media would not think Tracy McGrady was arrogant.

But now, the Chinese team is the second seed to win the championship. Who can tolerate Tracy McGrady's arrogance?

Although the domestic media is not as shameless as the American media, they also criticize him with the unique oriental implicitness.

Say Tracy McGrady is young and frivolous, and ask Yao Ming to be careful when working with him in the future.

Fan Xi has never said bad things about Tracy McGrady to Yao Ming. He is the kind of person who will not interfere with his friends' interactions with him no matter how unhappy he is with the other party.

Because he knows that people get along with each other in different ways.

Maybe he hates McGrady's style, but Yao Ming is a perfect match for him. Things like chemistry are unpredictable.

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

Normally, NBA players are like colleagues. They practice basketball in the training hall, cooperate well on the court, and then go home.

There are not so many sincere friendships in professional basketball.

Fan Xi met many young men in the national team training camp. Because of Fan Xi's suggestion, the national team training camp recruited a roster of 50 people for collective training.

Fan Xi has always been a player committed to the emergence of new basketball players. He and his brand have been exporting professional training methods and promoting scientific nutrition systems for China.

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 Ming have 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.

In addition, the domestic professional league is becoming more and more commercial and professional.

Fan Xi brought many foreign sponsors to the CBA, and through his relationship, he brought many talents who are engaged in the training system in the United States to domestic clubs.

More money, higher influence.

The professionalization of CBA has accelerated at least 30 years compared to the parallel universe.

Fan Xi was very excited when he saw the young people playing more and more solidly in the training hall.

He knew that there might never be a monster player like himself in China: after all, his physical fitness was rare even in the United States.

However, it is still possible to expect a weakened version of Ginobili among domestic players.

"Basketball does not necessarily rely on physical fitness, skills, willpower, shooting... these can all change the game."

"If you have a talent for shooting, practice this technique to the world's best."

"If you can defend, then improve your defensive awareness to the world's best."

"Everything depends on human effort, as long as you believe in yourself, you can do it."

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

And the young guys in China have long regarded him as a god, and everyone is proud to hear his "reminders".

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

Fan Xi paid more attention to them. He always suggested Yi Jianlian to practice small forward and improve his ball control. He also reminded him to practice long-distance shooting and improve his shooting speed.

Yi's physical talent is very good among the yellow people. His jumping, explosive power and even arm span can be compared with black athletes.

However, these are not enough.

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

If he wants to go to the NBA and make a name for himself there, he must have real cleverness and kung fu.

This year's Olympics, Fan Xi wants to take him to see the world.
