Chapter 419 Chapter 410: Fan Xi's Psychological Tactics
Thanks to the increasing popularity of the Internet in North America, Fanhee's lore quickly became a hot topic on the Internet.
The league's five best goals also ranked Fanhee's three-pointer at the top of the five best goals.
Since the All-Star break, the Knicks have maintained a winning streak that exceeds any team in history.Many people are looking forward to a new miracle.
This game has caused a lot of repercussions, and some human rights organizations have said that there should be legislation to prevent athletes from playing with injuries and playing with extreme fatigue.
But no one likes him.
We all know there are so many organizations on the North American side that they can come up with a fucking suggestion every day.
After the game, Fanhee accepted an exclusive interview with TNT, which was conducted by Charles Barkley himself.
Vanhee has always supported the work of his former teammates. In the choice between ESPN and TNT, Vanhee always chooses TNT first.
For a long time, Fan Xi has always been a famous figure in the media, but in fact he has only received a handful of exclusive interviews, and he even intentionally keeps himself a mystery, he doesn't want to see himself on TV.
In a way, this style is like those movie actors who cherish their feathers.
In the United States, top and old-school movie actors don't even accept commercials, they only allow themselves to appear on the big screen for a fee.This keeps their sense of mystery and makes it difficult for the audience to play out when shaping the characters.
In this regard, Chinese actors on the other side of the ocean don’t have this consideration. They always pursue film, television and music, wherever they have money, and they don’t even mind being clowns in TV variety shows.
Charles Barkley first congratulated Fanhee for completing a spectacular game in Detroit. He praised Fanhee's dominance has reached an unprecedented height, and he also said that Fanhee has no shortcomings now.
Fan Xi didn't pretend at all in front of Barkley.
He said frankly: "My physical fitness is still a problem, and my speed has not reached the real top level. Also, my shooting also needs to be strengthened."
Barkley asked him: "Why didn't you show this kind of dominance when you were playing for the Los Angeles Clippers?
Fan Xi smiled. He said that if he hadn't had that crazy blacksmithing in Los Angeles, he wouldn't be who he is now.Fan Xi also said that the past seven years are the most precious seven years, because those seven years have solidified his current foundation.
"I am grateful to Los Angeles. But I am a Knicks player now. My mission is to help the Knicks win the championship. James Dolan gave me unprecedented trust. Coach Don Cheney and Thomas gave me unprecedented freedom, as well as my teammates. They are all industry elites. They are full of wisdom, great action, and everyone speaks very well."
In the interview, Fan Xi mentioned the people around him with a gesture of gratitude.
Then, Barkley asked Vanhee if he was worried that the Pistons would use Milicic to break up his run and gun next game.
Fan Xi praised Milicic: "He is very talented and has very good athletic ability. But, with all due respect, he has not received enough respect and trust. He was only temporarily called by Larry Brown to deal with it. If he is in the Knicks, perhaps he has become an elite player, a potential rookie who can be compared with LeBron, Cameron, and Dwyane."
"The fate of every rookie is hard to say. When I entered the league, there were too many players with more talent than me in the same draft. I still remember that many people were angry at my pick. But now, I think no one in the 94th class has achieved more than me. Why is this? Because my mediocre seed has been carefully irrigated in the fertile land of the Knicks."
"And those gifted newcomers who did not take root and grow into towering trees, because they were scattered on poor land and were not properly irrigated."
Fan Xi said to the camera: "It is undeniable to say that Milicic has wasted less than half of it. If this continues, he will waste more talents."
Vanhee rarely talks about this stuff on TV.
However, Barkley is his good friend and brother, and he doesn't mind saying more.
Barkley nodded with a smile, he agreed with Fan Xie's opinion.Cultivating rookies is a profound knowledge, and it is very important to teach students in accordance with their aptitude.He recalled that when he and Fan Xi were in the Los Angeles Clippers, Fan Xi had a completely different training attitude towards Ben Wallace and O'Neal.
The two chatted like old friends.
There was no outline for their interview, and Barkley even reclined on the sofa chatting with Fanhee while drinking.
They naturally talked to the Western Conference Finals.
He asked Vanhey to provide his opinion on the Western Conference Finals.
Now the Western Conference Finals is 2:1, the Lakers lead, and they won the third game by 21 points.
Fanhee did not over-analyze the game results, he just talked about his views on the four players he was familiar with.
He said that Stephen Marbury is the top three point guards in the league, and that Kevin Garnett is second only to Tim Duncan. He is the most versatile power forward in history, and his defense is very tough.He also complained about Kevin Garnett: His mouth is a sharp edge on the defensive end, extremely aggressive.
Then Barkley smiled and asked Fan Xi: Did he attack you too.
Fan Xi raised his eyebrows, shook his head and said, "Does he think he dares? This kid has been hanging around behind my ass before he entered the league. I have a lot of secrets about him. He will never talk nonsense to me."
Hahahaha.
Barkley smiled heartily.He said, it's hard to believe that you're one of the most experienced players in the NBA, but you're still so young.Damn, I remember you coming into the league right out of high school and you were 17?
Fan Xi smiled and revealed the secret that has been hidden for many years: "Actually, when I participated in the draft, I was not yet 17 years old. The birthday I filled in was a business in the Chinese lunar calendar. According to the American algorithm, I should only be about 16 years old and 300 days old at that time."
Oh my God!
Barkley held his head in disbelief.Then he said: "No wonder the talent has been evolving for so many years. It turns out that you were even a minor when you first entered the league."
Fan Xi smiled.Then move on to Shaquille O'Neal.Fan Xi said that O'Neal should be the strongest among the four major centers.
"I was teammates with Patrick and Hakim back then, and won championships respectively. But, I have to say, Patrick, I love you very much, you will always be my big brother. But even in 1994, I think O'Neal's strength surpassed him. Of course, if Patrick didn't have a damn injury, his achievements would definitely be higher. Don't forget...Patrick has had thick knee pads on his knees since he entered the league."
"Hagem is another kind of player. His post-up skills have been affecting the league so far. I have been stealing his skills. I think Hakeem Olajuwon's peak period is another kind of incomprehensible, but Shaq's dominance at the peak is too strong." Fanhee said: "This guy brought a devastating disaster to the penalty area."
Then there's Kobe Bryant.
"There is no doubt that Kobe is the player with the most offensive skills on this planet. Since he was a high school student, I thought his offensive skills surpassed 80.00% of the players in the league. Now, he is the best attacker in the league, although he has never won the scoring title. However, if the Lakers do not have O'Neal, Kobe will dominate the scoring list with a dominant point difference."
Fan Xi was very relaxed.
His point of view received a lot of recognition after it was broadcast on TV. Fans found another side of Fan Xie. When he talked about basketball, he was not at all like the playboy image reported in the media.
Of course, this episode also received extremely high ratings and sparked crazy discussions.
Because Vanhee's talk brought a lot of controversy.
For example, Vanhey said Milicic was destroyed by the Pistons.
Larry Brown quickly jumped out and said that there is no problem with the way he trains rookies. He also vowed to emphasize that Milicic will become a superstar under his hands.
Then, Stephen Marbury said that Fan Xi was his good brother, but he felt that he should be the TOP2 point guard in the league.
Kevin Garnett also said that Vanhey's evaluation of himself was accurate, but he said that he didn't spray Vanhey on the court not because of some black history, but because he respected Jack very much.He also talked about how Jack Fan treated him very equally when he was a nobody, and he said that Fan Hee was a really good person.
O'Neill was very happy. He said that Fanhee is his good brother, and Fanhee's precise vision has always been his most admired place.He also said that he regretted not being able to become teammates with Fan Xie, otherwise the league would have become a stage dominated by them since the summer of 95.
Kobe Bryant also said that Fan Xie's evaluation is pertinent.
Bryant especially needed this kind of public recognition.
Because, he has never wanted to be inferior to anyone.Except, Fan Xi asked him to think about it.
But Fan Xi will never be able or want to become teammates with him.
Good friends are best not to work together.
What caused the most discussion was Vanhee's evaluation of the Knicks.
Fan Xie said: "Many people say that the Knicks lineup is relatively thin and there are more veterans. This is nonsense from people who don't understand the game. As long as the veterans are in an active camp, the energy they can explode is far stronger than that of the rookies. The reason why the Knicks have maintained a winning streak since the All-Star break is because the energy of the veterans continues to inject."
"Beating the Pistons is only a matter of time. Only some self-righteous, unconventional basketball experts will think that the Pistons will perform so-called miracles."
Fan Xi is equivalent to directly aiming the gun at those basketball experts who have always been critical of him.
Naturally, it will cause a violent counterattack.
...
The fourth game came as scheduled.
As if to be angry with Fan Xie, Larry Brown actually put Milicic in the starting lineup.
When the Knicks players walked onto the court, they saw Milicic.
There was an eerie panic on the Knicks side.
They looked at Fan Xi with incredible eyes.
Fan Xi was very calm.
Because 20 minutes ago, Fan Xie said that Mutombo would be replaced as the starter. "Because Larry Brown is very likely to 'entrust Milicic with a heavy responsibility' in order to show his success in rookie training, but it is not really entrusted with a heavy responsibility. It is to let Milicic start on the court for two or three minutes, pretending. On the one hand, it appeases the fans and boosts morale. On the other hand, it is to give Milicic a little sweetness and let him play well in the fourth quarter."
all hit.
When Milicic stepped onto the pitch.
The entire Knicks admired Fan Xie even more.
Old Yin Bi Reggie Miller squinted his eyes, he said: "Could it be that Jack started to play games during the interview?"
Isiah Thomas on the side said: "It shouldn't be so magical. Then what is he doing when he praises O'Neal and Kobe?"
Reggie Miller was taken aback for a moment, then... hiss.
Take a breath.
The game started quickly.
In the jump ball with Milisic, Mutombo lost to the young elk Milicic.
Milicic was full of energy tonight, and what Fanhee said in the interview actually fit his heart, and he was even very grateful to Fanhee.Because after Fan Xie said those words, the original disappointment of the Pistons turned into some "complaints" towards Larry Brown, and then Larry Brown said something on TV, and then he was obviously not so fierce on the training ground. Sometimes he would suppress his temper and would not immediately throw him off the court.
Even got a starter this evening.
Milicic knew Larry Brown wasn't going to change for no reason.
Therefore, even though Fan Xi was his opponent, he still respected Fan Xi very much in his heart.
Even, he ran to ask Ben Wallace: Who is Jack Fan?Is he really good at developing centers?
Ben Wallace told him: "With your physical condition, if you are in New York, you must be a strong contender for the best rookie of the year. It's not that you didn't even make the best rookie team, and you didn't have your name in the All-Star rookie game."
These words made Milicic full of longing.
He wanted to go to New York more and more.
He wanted to go to Fan Xi's side more and more.
Although Larry Brown's attitude has changed a bit, he is very clear that once this series is over, once no one pays attention, he will still play back to his original form, he will still be a screw, and he will still exercise his body to increase his strength to adapt to the blue-collar style of play.
Snapped!
Milicic's thinking was a little distracted. He ignored his teammates when he was moving. He couldn't remember Larry Brown's strict and complicated positioning.
This prevented Prince from getting his cover, and Mutombo slapped him directly after he went in.
Fan Xi rushed to him again, and took the basketball away from his head.
Milicic looked up, and he saw Mutombo wagging his finger at him.
Looking at the sidelines again, Larry Brown's face was full of anger, and some swear words came out of his mouth.
hiss!
Milicic shuddered.
He quickly ran to the front field with his head down.
But as soon as he reached the frontcourt, Fan Xie, whom he admired, broke through Billups' defense and galloped straight towards him.
He stood up quickly and raised his hands.When Fan Xi flew into the sky, he raised his hands and jumped up, trying to create disturbance.
To be honest, he did a good job, completely creating a barrier in front of Fan Xi.
It is difficult for Fan Xi to cross.
However, Fan Xie's pass was stuffed under his ribs, and Dikembe Mutombo caught the basketball behind him...Boom!
Dunk with both hands.
Although Milicic has done a good job with this ball.
But it was indeed the point that was lost behind him.
Larry Brown quickly called Ben Wallace and asked Ben Wallace to replace Milicic.
Seeing this scene, Fan Xi couldn't help shaking his head.
He thought to himself, Larry Brown really doesn't have the slightest tolerance for rookies.I thought he could last three rounds.
Therefore, he couldn't help saying to Milicic: "Don't be depressed, no matter what your head coach treats you, you must maintain confidence. Otherwise, you will really be useless."
Milicic looked at Fan Xi with some perplexity and some gratitude.
His emotions are mixed.
