Chapter 167 The Inheritance Ceremony of the New Godfather
Pau Gasol and Kobe Bryant have had an inseparable relationship. They have been partners since 2007 and have saved each other.
Before meeting Kobe, Gasol was a controversial leader in Memphis and was criticized for being weak.
Before meeting Gasol, Kobe was considered a lone hero who had his own way of doing things and only had eyes for scoring goals.
When two highly questionable people came together, they immediately showed completely different brilliance, just like each other found Mr. Right on the court. They created the current pattern of the Los Angeles Lakers reaching the Finals for four consecutive years.
After Kobe Bryant was injured for the season, Pau Gasol seemed to return to isolated Memphis overnight. His will was visibly depressed. He only did his job mechanically on the court and completed tactical instructions. He always lacked the same skills as Kobe Bryant.
The spirit of a partner on the field.
Both Fan Xi and Phil Jackson wanted to talk to Pau Gasol. Unexpectedly, it was Pau Gasol who took the initiative to talk to Fan Xi.
When Fanci heard Gasol say Kobe texted him, he immediately understood.
"Don't worry Jack, I will cooperate with you just like I cooperated with Kobe." Gasol said to Fan Xi seriously.
Fan Xi nodded and patted Gasol's knee: "Thank you for your hard work! Let us fight for Kobe and the Lakers' three consecutive championships!"
Fan Xi played the emotional card.
Gasol is an emotional man and he immediately nodded vigorously. "Yes, for Kobe and all our past efforts, we will do our best to compete for the third championship."
Matt Barnes was the first person to sit over after Gasol left.
"Why do I feel like tonight is like a gang inheritance ceremony?" Old Winter sat in front and complained softly: "In "The Godfather", it seems that gang members go up one by one to kiss the new godfather's arm."
Shh!
Phil Jackson made a gesture of silence.
Matt Barnes sat next to Fan Xi, who looked at him with a smile.
"Jack. I have no other ideas. I have always admired you. If you want to fight with those bastards in Miami to the end, I will fight with you to the end. I can't stand those high-sounding guys. My interest is
Tear down their false prosperity and drag them into the mire."
Matt Barnes is a rough guy, and his relationship with Vanhee has always been very good. When Vanhee came to the Lakers, he and Lamar Odom were the first people to open their arms to Vanhee. In the beginning, he was on the Lakers team
After Fan Xi's team status quickly improved, he became Fan Xi's protector. In the last game, he was the one who fell down the most besides Fan Xi. He always fought tenaciously, even if the team had no hope.
Sometimes, he doesn't even want to win or lose, he just wants to fight.
"I know."
Fanshi nodded to Barnes to express his approval. He then said: "This is the direction I work hard for."
"By the way, your T-shirts are good. Maybe you can make a trendy brand. Your aesthetics have always been outstanding, and you can always find avant-garde things." Fan Xi changed the topic.
Barnes quickly boasted about his insights into trends. He is indeed a Laker who often wears fancy clothes.
Compared to Andrew Bynum who always turns his hair into shiny balls of light, he is more willing to make a fuss about his clothing matching.
After Barnes left, Andrew Bynum sat over.
He sat over and said, "I don't know why they come over to talk to you one after another. I feel that if I don't come and sit for a while, I won't seem so gregarious."
Bynum was honest.
In essence, Little Shark is not a scheming person. His shallowness, short-sightedness, and stupidity are all obvious.
It’s just that Fan Xi didn’t expect him to be so ‘weak’. He clearly has a height of over 216cm and a weight of 260kg. As long as he is stuck in the penalty area, no one in Miami can face him alone.
However, he always does inappropriate things in inappropriate places. He is even more confident in his jump shots than in singles in the paint. I really don't know what he thinks.
"Then you can sit here until the plane lands." Fan Xi said to him with a smile: "Remember to fasten your seat belt and don't fall down like before."
puff!
Phil Jackson, who was sitting in the front row, couldn't help but laugh. He originally thought that Fan Xi would talk to Bynum about how to use reason to move emotion, but he didn't expect that old things would be brought up again.
Bynum had a conflict with Fanci last year. He yelled at Fanci on the plane, and then encountered turbulence and broke his bones. This directly led to Fanci's rapid rise. When Bynum came back, Fanci was The team's status has been equal to Bynum's, and now it is even more stable than Bynum's.
Kobe was injured and the team lost miserably. Players lined up to chat with Fanci instead of Bynum, which explains the problem very clearly.
"hey-hey."
Bynum was actually not angry and even laughed.
He put on his seat belt.
Fastening the seat belt means that he has completely let go of that matter, and that he is willing to follow Fan Xi's leadership.
"Can you tell me how to get female stars in Hollywood? Scarlett is a very proud goddess. She has never been very interested in the sports world. How did you make her be obedient to you, even Where is the one buried in the sand for you..." Andrew Bynum asked Fan Xi.
"Actually, the answer is very simple. Being handsome solves half of the problem." Fan Xi told Bynum seriously.
Bynum touched his afro, which had been dyed yellow, and raised his brows confidently: "I have solved half of the problem, how can I solve the other half?"
puff!
Another voice of laughter came from the front row.
Fan Xi pretended not to hear, and said seriously: "The other half is probably money, status, power, and manliness."
"Money, I am also a multi-millionaire now. It doesn't seem too difficult to get another contract and become a billionaire." Bynum analyzed seriously: "We both have similar identities, we are both Lakers players. Power? This What is it? Manliness, don’t I have manliness?”
"Power is a man's best cloak. Imagine that when you go out, there are a bunch of people next to you complimenting you and flattering you. They all obey what you say. When women see this, can they not be addicted? Can they? Don’t you want to stand by your side?” Fan Xi and Bynum said, “I think you need to strengthen in this area.”
"How to strengthen it?"
"For example, when you are on the court, you can be bolder and do things that others dare not do. The more you defend, the more you break through. You can break through the defense and dunk directly... In this way, you will You are very strong, and strength brings power. Think about it, how many Hollywood female stars were on the sidelines to watch the finals, and how many Hollywood female stars were Lakers fans?"
"I heard that with O'Neal's looks, he can make Hollywood movies and have affairs with many Hollywood female stars. Are you not as good as O'Neal?"
Fanshie will challenge Bynum.
Bynum was immediately awakened by such an analogy. "Yes, that guy O'Neal is much uglier than me. I heard that the thing is still very small. He can do it. Why can't I?"
"Jack, you want me to dunk more? Collision more?"
"That's right!" Fan Xi clapped his hands: "Think about it, what kind of stuff are the Heat? Joel Anthony Haslem is only as tall as your shoulders. What's the difference between Chris Bosh and noodles? Join James
It would be better to help defend with Wade. If you dunk them over, do you think those Hollywood female stars will go crazy for you? There is no one in the world who has dunked James and Wade."
"If I were you, I would be so excited that I can't sleep right now. The finals!! So many cakes waiting to be eaten by you, and there are also the chosen ones like James..."
Fanci described a bright future to Bynum.
Bynum was immediately moved.
Not to mention Bynum was moved, even Phil Jackson in the front row was moved. He felt that if I were Bynum, I would do it to death. It doesn't matter if I can't dunk, and I won't lose money.
One, that is, success and fame will bring you both wealth and wealth.
No fool would do this.
"Jack, you are absolutely right."
Bynum thought about it carefully and slapped his thigh: "You are the one who really cares for me. They want me to shoot more shots, make more shots, and collect more data, but they can't solve the real problem at all. Only you can hit the nail on the head, no wonder you can
Let Scarlett cover you with a cloth on the beach and blow it for you..."
Ahem!
Fan Xi interrupted Bynum's 'nonsense' with an awkward cough.
At this time, he knew that many people in front of him must be listening to their conversation.
However, his cover-up was unnecessary. Who on the entire plane still didn’t know what Scarlett had done? Only a fool would believe that Scarlett buried herself in the sand with half of her head resting on Fan Xi.
It is to remove dampness.
"Phil, Jack's pre-war ideological work was much better than yours." Old Winter said to Phil Jackson in a low voice.
Phil Jackson nodded, indeed.
He has done ideological work all his life, and he has always made all kinds of problem players, including people like Rodman, work for him. However, Bynum has been at his wits' end for so many years, and now Fanxi has made him feel like he was beaten to death.
Yes, and even shook out all the instructions given by Jenny Buss and her gang.
What kind of ability is this?
Phil Jackson showed a satisfied smile and felt comfortable.
"It seems that we have a good chance of winning the third game." Old Winter said optimistically.
Phil Jackson frowned. He felt that he was still in doubt. Even if the other Lakers players worked hard, they would not be Miami's opponent.
The one who can really kill the Heat is Fan Xi.
But Fanshie's physical problem is too troublesome. His confrontation in the finals, especially the continuous consumption of James and Wade, depleted his poor physical reserves faster.
Whenever he can play for more than 32 minutes, Phil Jackson feels that he is capable of fighting, and even thought of a new tactical system.
However, however.
The plane is flying smoothly.
Phil Jackson's thoughts were driven like a tide.
Fan Xi slowly closed his eyes amidst Bynum's excited chatter. He was waiting for a new opportunity to come.
