The Point Guard is Here

Chapter 312: Starry City of Angels

18 years old.

Beat Jordan head-on.

Continuous Finals MVP.

East and West Championship Grand Slam!

Fanci's name resounded throughout the basketball circle. In the final finals, as many as 16 million households across the United States watched the event. Its influence was close to that of the Super Bowl finals, far exceeding that of other major leagues.

Although it is said that the motivation for many people to watch this game comes from Michael Jordan. However, Fanci is definitely the biggest beneficiary of this game that broke NBA ratings records.

Fan Xi's performance at the last moment can be called a miracle. Even the most picky commentators have to say sincerely: Little Jack's performance is beyond perfection, and... it can never be copied, let alone repeated. .

Is such that.

Vansh admits this.

As the saying goes, 'every time comes, heaven and earth work together', and that was the case in the last three minutes last night.

But why do we need to do it again?

Fan Xi has already put on a yellow robe.

Barkley has already completed an unprecedented streaking in front of the media.

Fan Xi saw that scene on TV this morning. To be honest... he thought Barkley was a little too brave.

Tomjanovich, Rockets general manager and team owner came to Fanshi's house at 8:30 this morning.

They heard that Fan Xi would take the ten o'clock flight to Los Angeles, and came over anxiously.

Generally speaking, for the front office of any championship-winning team. This is a time for wild celebrations and wild breaks.

However, for the Rockets, retaining Fan Xi is the most important task at the moment.

Fanci had a phone call with Rudy late yesterday.

Rudy was confident in building a dynasty team, and Fanci and Olajuwon made him feel that anything was possible. In the past three years, the two of them have shared three finals MVPs. If they come together, even Jordan will be helpless.

He didn't want such a good partnership to break up, and he would regret it for the rest of his life.

For any NBA head coach, building a dynasty is the ultimate temptation.

However, Fanshi obviously does not want to fulfill the rest of his contract. The existing labor agreement is shaky, and more and more news is showing that the NBA union led by Simon Goulding is fighting for an unprecedented new agreement for players. Its birth will make the NBA a player-dominated league.

Fanci's two consecutive championships this year also increased the courage of the union.

Originally, the players union only had one trump card: Jordan, but now there is an 18-year-old idol MVP who is loved by advertisers and girls.

With 16 million households watching the finals, TV stations are becoming more and more open to broadcasting agreements, which will inevitably lead to a dramatic increase in players' salaries.

And in this era, there are no salary restrictions or luxury taxes.

Therefore, Fanshi told Rudy frankly and straightforwardly that he would seek a contract that matches his status in the free market.

Then, Rudy brought the team management and new owner Alexander to Fanshi's residence.

Such a big battle surprised Dell Curry.

He was a little at a loss.

Fanci was calm, though, sitting on the couch holding his godson Stephen Curry.

At the beginning, Alexander, a Jewish businessman, expressed his admiration for Fanci and his admiration for his performance in the finals. He also congratulated Fanci on receiving an unprecedented sneaker sponsorship and congratulated him on his promotion from worker to boss.

Fanci feeds Stephen Curry cereal while communicating with his boss.

It seems that in the heart of the 18-year-old back-to-back Finals MVP, whether Curry is eating well is more important than the arrival of the boss.

This seems a bit arrogant.

Mrs. Curry hurried over and took her son away.

Fanci told the team owner and management frankly: "My agent and I both hope to get out of the contract and become a restricted free agent."

This is a very normal thing.

However, team owner Alexander said to Fanxi: "Hey, Jack, isn't this too risky? You can definitely execute the next contract, which has a salary of almost 15 million US dollars. You know Yes, the current economic downturn is very stressful..."

Fanci had always heard that Alexander was a stingy Grandet.

But he didn't expect that this little old man would actually treat him as a fool.

While Fan Xi was speaking, he looked at Tomjanovich next to him. Tomjanovich also felt helpless and spread his palms slightly.

He originally persuaded the boss to come over, hoping that he would give Fan Xi a price that Fan Xi could not refuse.

However, he obviously understood it wrong. He actually wanted the superhero who defeated Jordan at the age of 18 and was the MVP of the Finals to continue to execute his rookie contract.

And he wanted to use his age and life experience to brainwash Fan Xi.

Fan Xi maintained a superficial calm with great discipline.

After Alexander finished speaking, he expressed that he wanted to hear Fan Xi's opinion.

Fanci said: I will not consider continuing this rookie contract.

Alexander made a very regretful expression, and his wrinkled features expressed an emotion of struggle. He seemed to have a performing personality. He acted by himself for a few minutes, and then as if he had made up his mind, he said: "Jack, I love you so much. Your performance is amazing. I decided to give you Offer an unprecedented contract, but can you promise me to sign this contract today?”

Fan Xi slightly raised his eyebrows to show that he was listening and asked him to continue. Alexander seemed to be in pain, and he said: "I am willing to offer you a 7-year, 35 million contract. This is a contract that Olajuwon has never received, seven years, and 35 million US dollars. It is equivalent to a salary of 5 million US dollars a year, which is not much more than Michael Jordan." Indeed, before the new labor agreement came out, this was a good contract. However, times have changed. Fan Xi stood up, and he exchanged glances with Tomjanovich. He didn't plan to continue chatting with this Grandet. He said perfunctorily: "Okay, I'm going to the airport soon, and I will discuss it with my agent." Then, Alexander said sincerely: "Okay, Jack, we welcome you to join. But this offer is time-limited. If no agreement is reached before July, it will not be the current price." "Okay." Fan Xi nodded in agreement. The two sides shook hands and left. Alexander, a shrewd businessman, was full of pride. He thought that such an 18-year-old boy was not difficult to deal with. He gave in with a little extreme pressure.

He even felt that he should not come in person today. He could solve it by making a phone call.

However, he did not know that in Fan Xi's heart, the Rockets had become a thing of the past, and he would never consider playing for Houston again.

Before leaving, Rudy Tomjanovich shook hands with Fan Xi. He felt sorry and tried to explain something to Fan Xi, but finally said to Fan Xi: "Jack, the previous boss was not like this."

Fan Xi said it was okay, blessing you, Rudy, you are a good coach. You will have a wonderful future.

"You too."

Fan Xi went to Los Angeles with Delphine, Madonna, and Uncle Fanle.

Madonna and Delphine are also old acquaintances. She is in contact with Delphine's father recently. She hopes to become the spokesperson for the luxury goods of his company.

Even at Madonna's level, she hopes to establish a friendly endorsement relationship with top brands, which is a promotion for both parties.

Fan Xi's trip to Los Angeles was not to appease Kate Winslet as the entertainment media gossiped.

Some entertainment channels were willing to interpret it as Kate Winslet's victory.

This made Fan Xi explain to Jennifer on the phone for a long time: I really went to re-sign with the Fila brand.

"And then have sex with that bitch Kate Winslet, using the damn back style?" Jennifer's tone was sour.

Fan Xi didn't know how to face this cramped question.

He could only smile.

The relationship now is very strange. Both sides know each other's existence. Although they have torn their faces, they still maintain a deadlock of fighting but not breaking.

Fan Xi asked Uncle Fan Le for advice.

Uncle Fan Le said... Just go forward boldly and cross the river by feeling the stones.

Fan Xi felt that Uncle Fan Le meant... He wanted to treat Fan Xi as a stone because he also wanted to cross the river.

His situation is more serious than Fan Xi's. Although Madonna's belly has not grown yet, it is certain that she is pregnant with his child.

He is now discussing with Fan Xi what Chinese name the next child should be called.

If it is a girl, she will be called Fan Xiaohua, and a boy will be called Fan Dacheng.

Fan Xi is sincerely worried about Uncle Fan Le's cultural level. He thinks it is better to be cautious about naming. Don't be impulsive, so as not to cause the child's lifelong regret.

I don't know if Uncle Fan Le has listened to him.

Los Angeles is the media capital of North America. Although there are not as many super media as New York. But the entertainment industry is quite developed. After Fan Xi came out of the airport, he felt this damn "exposure rate".

Click! Click! Click!

The dense spotlights made him almost unable to open his eyes. At this time, Madonna thoughtfully gave him reflective sunglasses.

She is obviously an old hand.

The Los Angeles media is very popular with the Fan family. They not only asked about Madonna's pregnancy, but also asked whether Fan Xi would meet Kate Winslet...

Under the siege of hundreds of reporters, they arrived at the parking lot with difficulty and got into the prepared nanny car. When heading to Madonna's mansion in Beverly Hills, the media kept following and filming behind them.

"Jack, you have to adapt to these scenes."

Madonna said to the slightly panicked Fan Xi: "This is just basic operation. In Los Angeles... the more reporters who follow you, the more famous you will be. I have to feed hundreds of street tabloids every year."

Madonna's words are slightly exaggerated, but it also shows the current situation in Los Angeles.

Stars and reporters and paparazzi are in a symbiotic relationship.

Fan Xi has a preliminary understanding of the ecology here.

Delphine thinks Los Angeles is simply great. She likes the City of Angels more than the Big Apple, not only because of the climate and food here, but also because of the more open atmosphere and new popular culture here.

Although she is very professional in the negotiation field, in life, she still yearns for novelty and this kind of crowded and sought-after life.

Fan Xi is not opposed to it either.

Moreover, Delphine said that if Van Xi plays in Los Angeles, there will be more sponsors and closer cooperation with Fila.

At present, Delphine's goal is to find a new club in several major cities across the United States;

So Fancy was meeting with Los Angeles general manager Jerry West the next day.

Jerry West is a legendary superstar of the Lakers and a super scorer representing white people. The NBA's logo is recognized as replicating his silhouette, which was once considered the ultimate form of shooting guard before Michael Jordan came along.

After he retired from the Lakers, he has maintained close ties with the Lakers. He coached the Lakers for three seasons in the 1970s, and then joined the front office and became the helmsman of the Lakers under the Buss family.

As a veteran Laker, he has been committed to taking Los Angeles to greater heights. In recent seasons, Magic Johnson has repeatedly retired due to illness, and the Lakers seem to have lost their luster as a wealthy team.

This offseason, Jerry West decided to find big fish in the chaotic free market and build a new dynasty.

The Los Angeles Lakers have always had a tradition. They like to develop their own guards and then recruit super centers from outside. Kareem Abdul-Jabbar was like this, and Chamberlain was like this too.

Starting two months ago, Jerry West has been blatantly going to Orlando to recruit Shaquille O'Neal.

O'Neal has been watching, even as he and Anfernee Hardaway spar. But he has never made up his mind to leave Orlando. He may feel that if the Orlando Magic gives him enough respect, he and Hardaway can do something big.

The current Lakers can be said to be poor and have nothing but a wealthy license.

However, Jerry West promised O'Neal two days ago that he would definitely find a guard for O'Neal who is extremely talented, both inside and outside, who can definitely occupy the throne of the NBA.

O'Neill was skeptical.

Until Fanci defeated the Bulls and killed Michael Jordan to lift the second championship trophy.

O'Neal thought of many past events, and he called Jerry West that night: "If you get rid of little Jack, I will definitely join the Lakers, and there will be no complications."

O'Neill likes Fan Xi too much.

He felt that Fan Xi was the partner created by God for him.

The biggest regret of his career was that he was not able to go to the New York Knicks and be teammates with Fanshie. When he was eliminated by the Bulls this year, he emphasized to his friends more than once that if Jack Jr. and I join forces, we will have no problem killing Chicago. .

At the time, people around him thought he was deliberately praising Fanci and belittling Hardaway. After all, Hardaway is better than Jack Jr. in every aspect.

But now, news came from Houston that little Jack won the championship, and they couldn't help but not believe it.

O'Neal's words shocked Jerry West greatly.

When Delphine extended her olive branch, he immediately accepted it and made an appointment to bring the entire management team with her.

Even the team owner, Dr. Bass, plans to talk to Fan Xi in person.

The star-studded City of Angels is fully prepared to welcome the arrival of the media king, Little Jack.
