Chapter 146 Who can stop the warrior's determination to die
Kenny Smith, as a fan of Fanshie, dare not say such a thing, because this situation has never happened in NBA history.
The last person to win the Finals MVP in his rookie season was Magic Johnson, who was also a Lakers point guard. However, he was the No. 1 pick and has attracted much attention since his debut.
However, Fanci's background is far less noble than Magic Johnson. He was undrafted. Along the way, he has created countless miracles. He has won too many unprecedented achievements. And if he wins the Finals MVP, even God would not dare.
Think so.
"This is unrealistic."
ESPN live broadcast host Mike Breen said seriously: "There is no possibility that Jack Van will win the Finals MVP. Not to mention that his absolute strength is not as high as the Lakers' first. His current data is very good. But, there is no
People will vote for a rookie. If the Lakers win the championship, the finals MVP can only be Kobe Bryant."
What McBrin said is reality, and Reggie Miller has no more basis to argue with it.
The Mavericks fell into a fierce battle. After the Lakers split their lineup depth into two lineups and depleted them, they no longer had any extra advantage.
In the end, the Lakers, who were at home, won the game without bloodshed 111:101.
In this game, Kobe Bryant played 31 minutes and scored 27 points, 5 rebounds and 3 assists. Andrew Bynum played 29 minutes and scored 21 points, 13 rebounds, 2 blocks and 1 assist.
Fan Xi played 32 minutes and scored 18 points, 15 assists, 8 rebounds, 2 steals and 1 block.
If you just look at the data, you would think that Kobe, Bynum, and Fancy formed the new Big Three.
But in fact, Bynum and Kobe were on the court at the same time for less than 8 minutes, and they played without any interaction, relying entirely on Fanshie to guide them.
After this game, public opinion in the basketball media generally no longer believed that the Dallas Mavericks could defeat the Lakers and advance to the Western Conference Finals.
The Mavericks played very tenaciously in the third game. Every player gritted his teeth and charged, especially Nowitzki. Many people said he was a softie, but this time, he charged into the penalty area against the defense every time and created physical fights.
Type of killing.
However, the difference in strength is visible to the naked eye.
The Lakers' lineup is too strong, and their luxury tax is not paid in vain. Currently, the Lakers have the largest annual salary of tens of millions in the league, with six people including Kobe Bryant, Gasol, Bynum, Dunleavy, Fanci, and Odom.
Their combined annual salary is close to 85 million U.S. dollars. This year, the Lakers paid the highest luxury tax in the league.
The money is not given for free.
Therefore, in the fourth game, the Lakers still easily defeated the Mavericks.
Rewrite the big score to 3:1.
The Mavericks are on their way out.
When Nowitzki left the game, his face was filled with sadness. He tried his best, but fell before the high wall of fate again.
Fanshie only scored 12 points in the fourth game, but the number of assists reached an astonishing 26 times. He once again broke the playoff assist record. Before this, the NBA assist record was Stockton and Magic Johnson.
What is maintained is 24 times.
Fanci is the first player in history to break the single-game assist record in the playoffs during his rookie season.
Under Ma Chen's operation, this matter has been highlighted in the media for a while. Ma Chen and Lu Yuan, the two core members of Fan's team, are doing their best to create a superstar persona for Fan Xi.
Moreover, as Fanci's performance in the playoffs gets better and better, Fanci's signature shoe advertisements have also been launched on major TV channels around the world.
The slogan is simple: The place where miracles are born!
This conceptual advertising film with great connotation has a brainwashing effect.
More and more people are looking forward to the official release of Vandenheede sneakers.
…
"When your team has Kobe, Bynum, Gasol, Dunleavy, Fisher... these talented attackers, it is not difficult to break the record with 26 assists."
When Chris Paul, who was eliminated early, held a training camp in New York, he nonchalantly commented on Fanci's record-breaking statistics.
"If you define this as his success, or call him the best point guard in the league, I think it is biased."
"The same goes for Rajon Rondo."
Chris Paul said: "None of them have proven themselves when leading a team alone."
The two point guards Paul hates the most are Fanci and Rondo.
Rondo and Paul have had conflicts and physical conflicts on the court more than once. They have disliked each other for a long time, and Paul has always believed that the reason Rondo became an elite player was because of the Big Three.
The reason why Fan Xi performed so well is because he has the Lakers as his back.
Fan Xi ignored Paul.
Rajon Rondo, on the other hand, has a bad temper. Like Fanci, he is playing in the semifinals of the playoffs, but the result is completely opposite to Fanci.
The Lakers are in the Western Conference semifinals, leading the Dallas Mavericks 3:1, with match points in hand to advance.
The Boston Celtics trailed the Miami Heat 1:3, and it was difficult to come back.
"Chris Paul, a person who has never even touched the floor of the Western Conference Finals, has any right to comment on others?"
"Not all point guards can coexist with strong teammates. Anyone can recruit a group of juniors and become the boss. Wait until Paul becomes the winner and talk to us again."
Rajon Rondo went all out and berated Paul to a complete mess.
But at this time, LeBron James appeared.
LeBron James, Dwyane Wade, Carmelo Anthony and Chris Paul have a very good relationship. Paul is the godfather of James's child, and James is the godfather of Paul's child, which is equivalent to a godfather.
"In my opinion, LaGarondo and Jake Fan are not superstars, they are just elite players or star players. And Chris is a superstar. Modern basketball has changed. If the point guard is only responsible for passing the basketball to
They'll never become superstars with the job in their opponent's hands."
LeBron James talks modern basketball.
By the way, he also talked about the sales figures of his sneakers: "I think Nike should give me a lifetime contract with dividends."
James' sneaker sales figures are astonishing in North America. The unit price of his signature shoes tops the league, and he is Nike's well-deserved number one.
He is very reluctant to the new cooperation method between Nike and Vandenheede. The media has reported many times that he has requested to change the contract, and it has even been exposed that James wants to personally establish a sneaker factory to cooperate with Nike.
Nike has been trying to appease James. At the same time, they are also looking forward to the sales figures of the Fanshie brand. If the sales figures of the Fanshie brand are 70% or 80% of LeBron James’s, they will dare to negotiate further with James. But if the sales figures of Fanshie brand are
The numbers were so bad that they had to admit their investment failure and agree to a series of demands from James' team.
This is a game.
This is why the Nike team has increased advertising.
Many people are waiting for the final results to be released.
…
Fan Xi was sitting in Lu Yuan's office. Before going to Dallas, he wanted to hear Lu Yuan and Ma Chen's plan.
Lu Yuan has recently suspended all other business cooperation, and he and Ma Chen are focusing all their attention on the launch of Fan Xi's signature shoes.
The current plan is next Monday, after the fifth game between the Lakers and Mavericks.
"We hope the Lakers advance in the fifth game. If you can perform particularly well in the fifth game, it would be even better."
Ma Chen analyzed it very seriously: "Because, as long as the Lakers enter the Western Conference Finals, whether they face the Thunder or the Grizzlies, it will be a very easy situation, which will be very helpful in opening up sales of sneakers and maintaining their popularity."
Fan Xi doesn't know much about commercial promotion, but judging from the current situation, the situation is not good for the Grizzlies, who killed the Spurs, the number one player in the Western Conference, in the first round. They use a strict positional offensive style, but when they encounter a talent-based team,
The dominant Thunder immediately stopped cooking.
The Thunder defeated the Grizzlies and almost settled into the Western Conference Finals.
In the regular season, the Lakers' winning rate against the Thunder was 75%, and they only lost one of the four games. Therefore, the Lakers would rather face the Thunder than the Grizzlies in the Western Conference Finals.
"Boss, we should find some celebrities to help promote it." At this time, Lu Yuan suddenly looked at Fan Xi cautiously and said in a very measured way: "For example... your confidante."
Um?
Fan Xi frowned.
"I don't mean anything else. I know the boss is a clean person. However, we are a new brand. The North American basketball shoe field is actually very saturated. There are too many superstars in the NBA occupying the market. If we want to be successful, we may need some
With the blessing of popular fashion elements, you have advantages in these aspects." Lu Yuan said with a smile on his face.
Compared with the cautious Lu Yuan, Ma Chen has a more direct character. He said: "Our sneakers may not be able to sell to James and others in the field of basketball fans, but we can sell them to the boys and girls who chase gossip on campus. What do you look like?"
He is so handsome and has been the target of so many scandals. In fact, we paid special attention to this aspect of the design when designing sneakers. You see, even if your shoes are not worn for playing ball, they will not be out of place in your daily travels. This is
Low tops..., and this pink color..."
Fan Xi understood now.
well.
He stood up.
Fan Xi is already the number one basketball player in Asia, but here in the United States, in front of the star-studded American basketball, he is still not an authority.
…
At Los Angeles International Airport, Bynum's staff and Kobe Bryant's staff had a small dispute. They had an argument while checking in luggage.
This should not have been a quarrel.
As the team's top player and the oldest player, Kobe's luggage deserves special 'care'.
This has always been the case.
Including the last time I went to Dallas.
However, Bynum's attitude has affected his staff. Bynum has made great achievements in the last three victories. He often boasts to his staff that he is at least on par with Kobe. As time goes by,
Kobe is aging day by day, and he will become the new ace of the Lakers.
The staff quarrel ended under the mediation of the team leader, but the competition between Kobe and Bynum was far from over.
When Fan Xi got on the plane, Bynum gave Fan Xi a gift, a platinum necklace studded with diamonds. It was worth a lot at first glance. During this time, Bynum kept approaching Fan Xi to show his goodwill.
, and also told Fan Xi that with him here in the future, the Lakers' tactical initiative will never fall into the hands of others. He also said that he wanted to get closer to Fan Xi off the court, and he wanted to have a closer relationship with Fan Xi.
I hope to participate in various activities.
When giving this valuable platinum necklace as a gift, he also hoped that Fan Xi would play more games for him in the next game.
Fan Xi nodded in agreement and cooperated with him more. However, he did not accept the customized necklace worth tens of thousands of dollars. He put the necklace on Bynum's neck and told him: "Thank you for the gift, but it is obviously
It suits you better."
After returning to his seat, Kobe, who was sitting next to Fanci, raised his eyebrows disapprovingly. He sneered at Bynum's recruitment of Fanci.
"Jack, that guy Andrew thinks you are a money-minded person, but in fact you are richer than him."
Kobe Bryant patted Fanshie on the shoulder: "Your new sneakers are about to go on sale. Why don't you prepare a few pairs for me and my family in advance?"
"Vanessa is going to attend a dinner in Hollywood tomorrow. If she wears your sneakers, I think it will definitely set off public opinion in Los Angeles."
Kobe said to Fan Xi.
This sentence really surprised Fan Xi.
In essence, Kobe and Vandenheede are competitors. The pricing of Vandenheede's signature shoes in North America is not much different from Kobe's signature shoes, slightly higher, but cheaper than James' signature shoes.
Essentially, it is impossible for Kobe and his family to wear signature shoes of other stars. As Kobe said, this will definitely detonate public opinion in the sneaker market.
This is an act of ‘strengthening business competitors’.
But Kobe actually did this. The value of this thing is far greater than that platinum necklace, more than a hundred.
"What are you surprised about? Jack, I don't want you to pass the basketball to me more. I don't need you to do anything for me."
Kobe said: "We should make the largest share of the sneaker market. Maybe our sneakers can be co-branded in the future."
Kobe immediately opened up the situation.
…
The plane landed at the Dallas Airport again, and the Lakers players took a bus from the airport to the city.
The advertisements beside the highway were quietly changed.
But it is still the huge back of Nowitzki, with sad words written on the back: If, this is fate...
When Fan Xi saw this text, he suddenly felt a strong sense of uneasiness.
He is Chinese, and all Chinese people know an idiom: A soldier in mourning will win.
When your opponent stands arrogantly in front of you, it is easy for you to find his loopholes.
And your opponent stands in front of you with a look of grief and anger, holding his weapon tightly and saying nothing.
