002: [NBA ambition]

Fan Xi met Allen Issel Iverson when she was 8 years old.

He almost recognized the little boy with a cage ditch at a glance. At that time, Iverson was stealing the Roujiamo in Uncle Vanle's kitchen: it was inevitable to open the store not far from the black area.

After Fan Xi caught Iverson, he did not call the police, but made friends with him and promised that he could come over to eat Chinese hamburgers at any time, provided that Iverson had to take him to play basketball.

Fan Xi didn't know why he had such an inexplicable affection for Iverson, and he subconsciously called out his name at first sight. At that time, Iverson was an unknown little black man.

Maybe it was because of the sequelae of the seven-day and seven-night dream that he always felt that what happened on TV seemed to have experienced it, and that he would always generate some additional information flow for some big shots on TV.

But he didn't dare to tell Uncle Vanle because Vanle would only 'make great miracles'.

As his relationship with Iverson became better and better, as Iverson shone in the sports field, he became the most dazzling star among the black people in Hampton: his business was easy and he went to the black area. Iverson's street friends became his brothers, and no black people came to harass their business again.

This made Uncle Van Le's income soar. At the age of 32, he had already begun to plan to go to Chinatown to find a Chinese widow to get married. Even his collection of films are all youthful and beautiful Ocean Horse series.

From this we can see that Uncle Fanle is very pragmatic.

When he returned home, the tall Uncle Fanle was playing Cai Lifo fist in the backyard. Uncle Fanle, who was 191 and weighed 220 kilograms, was dancing with great vigor. He shouted angrily from time to time, looking very powerful.

"Jack, how do you think my uncle's boxing style is like?" Fan Le turned his head and said to Fan Xi when he saw his nephew come back.

Fan Xi quickly gave two thumbs up: "Good! Great! Great!"

When dealing with Uncle Van Le, flattery is the only choice.

Although Fan Xi's height is close to his uncle, the eight years of "powerful miracle" have caused him to form a conditioned reflex.

He put the collected money into the cash counter and washed his face in the yard, then walked upstairs.

Uncle Van Le proudly promoted his business plan: Jack, I think in a few years, when you go to college business, we can start chain operations, like McDonald's and KFC. Promote our Chinese burgers to the United States. This is the authentic Chinese recipe we have been circulating for thousands of years, much better than those foreign fast foods...

Fan Xi smiled bitterly and shook his head. Uncle Fanle is good at everything, but he likes to daydream. He always wants to make money by selling roujiamo, shine his family, and then return home in glory.

But, what is the difference between the Roujiamo we sell now and the hamburger?

It’s not just squeezed tomato sauce into it and stuffed vegetable leaves.

The taste is not as good as McDonald's, it is purely prepared for people in the slums: they can provide some meat protein, and then choose other ones, and they are gone.

If it weren't for the relationship with Iverson, several nearby black neighborhoods had been opened up. At most, business would be able to make a living. Uncle Fanle would have to work in a Chinese restaurant on China Street two years ago.

"By the way, in two days your school plays a game with Hampton High School, will you start? I made an appointment with Aunt Wang from the hot pot restaurant on China Street, and the one who died two years ago. You have to perform well. Although Aunt Wang's youngest daughter is seven or eight years older than you, she is so beautiful. If our uncle and nephew get the mother and daughter together, it will definitely be a two-year-old and strong alliance."

"Her hot pot restaurant business is much better than our Chinese hamburger business. If we can sell roujiamo in her hot pot restaurant..."

Uncle Van Le's voice came to catch up again.

Fan Xi responded: No problem.

Uncle Fanle should find a wife, as well. Aunt Wang from China Street, Fan Xi has seen her. Although she is 45 years old this year, she is still young and looks a bit charming.

Moreover, in Uncle Fanle's words, "Why isn't she a bigger than me when she holds a gold brick in the third year of a female student? It just happened to be the peak of the year overlap!"

But Fan Xi was not interested in Aunt Wang's youngest daughter. He didn't want to hold gold bricks. Aunt Wang's youngest daughter is very pretty, but very thin, and has a flat breast. Fan Xi has played a lot with black people and his eyes have begun to assimilate. He likes girls with a concave figure and can pinch water... But black people can't do it.

After entering the room, Fan Xi turned on the TV to watch the NBA program on the CBS channel.

The NBA has experienced the downturn in the 1970s and began to take off in the 1980s. The black and white showdown between Magic Johnson and Larry Bird made countless people focus on the basketball court, and it is becoming a sport that is popular all over the United States.

Last year, the Dream Team swept all opponents in a crushing manner to win the championship. This allowed the whole world to see the superb level of American basketball. Coupled with the precise business operation of Jew David Stern, the NBA's commercial value not only surpassed the other four major leagues, but also formed global influence.

Michael Jordan is also representing the NBA toward a fabulous and immortal sporting position.

Fan Xi likes basketball very much, but he doesn't seem to be obsessed with Michael Jordan. On the contrary, he admires Iverson around him even more.

In Hampton and even Virginia, everyone knows that Iverson will go to the NBA.

His mother Ann Iverson has been promoting this incident two years ago. She always called Iverson back from the rugby stadium he loved more. She asked Fan Xi to watch his children all the time and ask the two to go to the basketball court to train together.

Ann was once a high school female basketball player, and she saw huge wealth from the NBA through TV.

Two black MJs in the NBA are bringing surging role model power to black families living at the bottom: a black boy from the bottom can rely on his basketball talent to become the absolute king of the sports league, establish his own sports brand, and lead the weather vane of this culture, promote his sports spirit to the world. He also has endless wealth and the attention of basketball fans around the world, and has become a figure on the top of the world's pyramids.

Fan Xi also longed to become an NBA player. He seemed to have a crazy obsession in his mind. He had to compete with the best basketball players in the world.

But at the same time, he was also very sober. His distance from the NBA was too far away.

Although he has a certain reputation in the Hampton area, he has been engaged in unlimited fighting-level singles on the streets of mixed fish and dragons since he was a child, allowing him to develop good ball skills, especially his ball control ability, and even more skilled than Iverson. At Bezer High School, they are called the backcourt duo and the best backcourt combination of Virginia High School basketball.

However, his physical fitness is far worse than Iverson. Iverson's explosiveness, speed, agility... is ahead of Fan Xi in all aspects of physical fitness.

A very simple example.

Iverson is less than 14 years old and can dunk when he is just 1.7 meters tall.

Fan Xi is about to be 16 years old now, 1.85 meters tall, and can only hit the ball on the ground and jump up and stuff the basketball in... It's not because his palm is not big enough, but because he grabbed the basketball and it affected his jumping height.

Fan Xi feels that his limit may be to be an elite player in the high school league. It is too difficult to get a college basketball scholarship through basketball.

but.

The moment Fan Xi lay on the bed, he frowned and looked at the air with concentration. A virtual screen that only he could see appeared in front of him... The system was loading...99%.

Perhaps, this system can change something.
