Tony Starks had been standing anxiously in the living room outside Lu Yuan's office.
As a business negotiator for Pepsi-Cola, his eyes were fixed on the TV on the wall: he had been waiting for Fan Xi to appear since the start of the game.
But tonight, Fan Xi did not play.
This caused him to lose an important basis for judgment.
Five minutes ago, he saw two senior managers from McDonald's walking into Lu Yuan's office... Lu Yuan's office was brightly lit.
Even though it was already 8:30 pm in Los Angeles time, there was still an endless stream of merchants coming to visit. Lu Yuan used "I am a Chinese and I haven't adjusted to the jet lag" as an excuse to show his strength and arrogance.
Fanxi's brand effect is too great.
People who have been to Asia say that Fan Xi quickly became a phenomenon in Asia, and his influence was even more astonishing than Yao Huang at his peak, or even several times more astonishing.
Businessmen cannot afford to be early if they are not profitable.
Tony reports to PepsiCo's CEO about senior McDonald's managers.
The CEO over there was also panicked.
McDonald's and Coca-Cola are partners, and Pepsi-Cola's strategic partner is KFC. If McDonald's and Fanci reach an agreement, it is very likely that Coca-Cola will come to the door next.
Tony thought it was time to make a decisive decision.
But the CEO there was still hesitant. He felt that Fanxi had not experienced the most important level and his confrontation was always a problem. His intuition told him that Fanxi might hit the rookie wall tonight.
Especially after seeing how well Raymond Felton performed.
Tony Starks paced back and forth in the living room, extremely anxious. Just when he couldn't hold himself back and was about to knock on the door again and walk into Lu Yuan's office, Fan Xi came on the scene.
He immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
My eyes were fixed on the TV, for fear of missing even a tiny bit.
…
Raymond Felton was quite depressed.
He didn't expect that Fan Xi would come on as soon as he came off the field.
There was only 1 minute and 21 seconds left in the first half, and it was a bit embarrassing for him to ask to play at this time.
So, he stood up and yelled to Ty Lawson: "Kill him, Lawson."
Ty Lawson was the 18th pick in the first round in 2009, and he was also a junior of Raymond Felton at North Carolina, so their playing styles are somewhat similar and their bodies are similar.
However, Ty Lawson is not as tall as Raymond Felton. In addition, Ty Lawson loves offense more than Raymond Felton.
"yes, sir!"
Ty Lawson saluted Raymond Felton proudly.
Immediately, he came to Fan Xi with brisk steps.
He was going to give Fan Xi a heavy lesson. He shouted to Fan Xi: "Little guy, the good luck you borrowed from God ends here. Because you met Ty Lawson."
Fan Xi doesn't like this chattering little fat guy.
After observing the direction of his teammates for a while, he saw Kobe lowering his head and walking towards the weak side, and started to ambush.
He hesitated no longer.
He took a sudden, sudden step forward.
This step violently unleashed the explosive power of Sean Kemp at his peak, and instantly caused Ty Lawson, a fat little guy who was more "offensive than defensive", to miss a beat until he moved sideways and was about to block.
Fan Xi's gun shoots out like a dragon.
Iverson's speed at his peak was like lightning.
Ty Lawson can also be regarded as the fastest point guard in the NBA.
Comparable to Fan Xi.
He was passed by in one step.
Fanshie instantly reached the free throw line, and Wilt Chandler quickly swooped in to defend.
Fan Xi flicked her wrist.
The basketball is passed to the corner.
Matt Barnes, who replaced Dunleavy Jr., seized the opportunity, phew!
He hit a three-pointer.
Instantly changed the Lakers' weakness on the wing.
When Fanci came on the court, he revitalized the Lakers' perimeter.
Phil Jackson nodded repeatedly.
There is nothing particularly outstanding about Fan Xi's style of play, and his technical content is not high. He just makes breakthroughs and distributes the ball.
But it contains a kind of spirituality, a kind of spirituality that instantly grasps the best shooting position.
In the eyes of Phil Jackson, neither Ty Lawson nor Raymond Felton possess this kind of spirituality, so why should they be compared with his baby Jack?
Ty Lawson lost face.
He returned to half-court and immediately launched a counterattack.
He is only 180cm tall, 11 centimeters shorter than Fan Xi. However, he is very strong, and although his speed and explosive power are not as terrifying as Fan Xi's, they are still top-notch.
Coupled with the technical skills he has honed since childhood, he can be regarded as a borderline elite player.
As soon as Ty Lawson and Fan Xi met each other, they rushed towards each other with the ball. He was a typical little steel cannon.
Fan Xi's body is thin in the NBA, and strength is his weakness.
As soon as Ty Lawson hit him, Fan Xijiu's defense was loosened.
At this time, Ty Lawson had a chance to break through directly.
But he didn't do that. This person deliberately wanted to embarrass Fan Xi, so he actually ran into Fan Xi again with the ball.
However, Fan Xi did not give him this chance.
When he collided with him again, Fan Xi ducked slightly. The coordination talent of Jordan at his peak allowed him to perform a move similar to the Shaolin Kung Fu Zhan Yi Shi Shi. He actually 'wrapped' him from the side and stretched out his astonishing long legs.
The ball is taken out from behind by the arm.
Ty Lawson quickly changed direction to protect the ball.
But at the moment he just changed direction, he didn't have time to protect the ball.
Kobe Bryant appeared in front of him without anyone noticing, and Ty Lawson was shocked... Bang!
Kobe's steal was very timely and decisive, and he knocked down his basketball in one stroke.
Immediately, he threw it into the frontcourt.
Fan Xi had already bolted forward.
The tacit understanding between the two is like a heavenly garment, seamlessly connected.
Poor Ty Lawson was caught in a trap.
Phil Jackson was very happy to watch on the sidelines. He couldn't help but think of Scottie Pippen and Michael Jordan. Back then, they often flanked the outside to steal opponents.
Fan Xi received the basketball in the frontcourt and rushed into the penalty area instantly.
Then, he took off, fully displaying Jordan's jumping ability at his peak.
He spread out in the air, made a beautiful and stretched spin, and after 360 degrees, gracefully smashed the basketball into the basket... Boom!
The Pepsi Center was in an uproar, and the uproar was mixed with some uncontrollable screams and cheers.
Such a dunk is a joy to watch.
I can't help but cheer for it.
Raymond Felton on the sidelines was extremely angry. He didn't expect that Fanci would make great contributions to the Lakers as soon as he came on the court.
He looked at Ty Lawson complainingly.
Ty Lawson quickly signaled to him that he would definitely call back.
At this time, there were only 43 seconds left in the first half.
Ty Lawson received the ball from the backcourt and ran to the frontcourt.
Tony Starks in front of the TV breathed a sigh of relief. Fan Xi's dunk just now made him feel like he had taken a sip of iced Coke.
He was impressed by such an elegant and stretched dunk action.
In his heart, he was extremely inclined to cooperate with Fan Xi.
