News of Bynum's injury spread like wildfire that night.
The media specifically noted in their reports, "According to an unnamed Lakers insider," Bynum had an argument with Fanci and stood up to attack Fanci. The plane happened to encounter turbulence and was injured in the turbulence.
It was so serious that it screamed from the skies of California to Washington.
Some vicious media called it the 'Thirty Thousand Feet Shock'.
Some media that emphasize the "theory of destiny" describe how fair God is and how unpopular Bynum's actions are.
One Los Angeles newspaper even quoted the entire transcript of the conversation between Fancy and Bynum, which made Fancy look a bit like the Chosen One.
It has to be said that the role of the media is huge.
This huge effect amplifies Bynum's "deserved".
Therefore, this is a sad thing for Bynum and his agent. They are obviously injured, but not only does no one sympathize with them, but some people think this is God's punishment.
At the same time, Fan Xi's fame has been amplified invisibly.
After all, there are many people here in the United States who believe in fate.
However, the good news is... Bynum only had a simple calf fracture, not a particularly serious fracture. His career was saved, but he will need to use a wheelchair and wear a thick plaster for the next period of time.
If he recovers well, he has a chance to return in May.
By that time, the playoffs are already halfway through.
"Jack, I have to be nicer to you from now on. Bynum's scream last night made me lose sleep."
Matt Barnes said to Fancy over breakfast the next morning.
Fan Xi smiled and told him not to joke.
But... this incident did have a real impact within the Lakers. Originally, in NBA teams, there was a tradition of newcomers helping old players carry their bags, and would even go out of their way to 'trick' rookies. Ginobili had just arrived with the Spurs that year.
At that time, his underwear was even taken out and frozen into ice by Duncan and others, and the Kings' rookie Green, his car was stuffed with popcorn by the veteran players. Carrying bags and other things is normal, Chris Paul's first
Once when I joined the Dream Team, I was yelled at by James, Wade, and Anthony to carry my backpack.
But today, no one asked for Fanci's backpack. Even the laziest Ron Artest simply asked Shannon Brown to carry the bag for him without disturbing the real newcomer Fanci.
For black people, the East has always been a mysterious place.
They were inexplicably afraid of the Orientals, and Bynum's screams were still lingering in their ears last night. Although it was indeed a coincidence, the captain had already warned everyone through the radio that they would pass through turbulence, but Bynum provoked Fan
Xi is a fact, it is also a fact that Fan Xi counterattacked him with the theory of destiny, and it is even more true that Bynum broke his calf bone in the end.
Therefore, they were also afraid, what if they let Jack carry his backpack and suddenly a piece of construction debris fell from the sky and hit them on top?
Fan Xi is very happy to accept the fact that he does not need to carry his own backpack. He is very happy. No one wants to work for free.
Poor Shannon Brown was nagging there: Didn't I carry it for you when I first came here? Why do you still have to carry it for me after so many years?
"Shut up." Artest, the bandit from the Palace of Auburn Hills, said in a stiff tone: "You don't have to carry it, do you want Jack to carry it? I don't want to break my leg."
Forehead!
This blocked Shannon Brown.
He looked at Fan Xi with eyes filled with resentment.
…
The Washington Wizards don't believe in fate. Bynum's injury is a good thing for them. Although they are currently last in the Eastern Conference, they still feel that they can gain a long-lost victory over the Lakers.
Fan Xi was interviewed by Chinese media before the game.
CCTV is the official media partner of the NBA, and they have many advantages in interviews.
This is also Fan Xi's first exclusive interview with domestic media.
Although he already knew through the Internet that he had achieved great fame in China, the statistics told to him by CCTV reporters still shocked him. "Your last game against the Bulls was watched by at least 50 million viewers in China, breaking the CCTV
Three years of sports event broadcast records.”
CCTV came here for an interview this time, focusing on the Chinese Derby.
Yi Jianlian is the power forward of the Wizards. He has the opportunity to play regularly. Although the team's status and shooting rights are far different from when Yao Wei was in the NBA, he can be regarded as East Asia's only young talent in the NBA.
Now that Fan Xi has risen strongly in the Lakers, the outside player that Chinese fans have been waiting for has finally been born.
This significance is far greater than the success that Yao Huang and Yi Jianlian achieved in the NBA.
Because the Chinese team has always been bullied the most in the international arena by its outside players. To a certain extent, Fan Xi has broken the ceiling of Asian defenders.
This is why he is so popular in China now.
"We heard that many teams have offered you contracts. You have been called a phenomenal undrafted player by the American media. No player with a 10-day short-term contract has ever played such a brilliant game as you. Everyone said that you
It’s possible to create some salary myths for undrafted players.”
The reporter from CCTV said to Fan Xi: "What do you think of this matter?"
"I'm very calm," Fan Xi replied. "I know how far I can go, and I also know what kind of salary matches my ability."
"What kind of player do you think you can become? Or who is your target? Stephen Nash? Jason Kidd, or the Lakers' legendary point guard Magic Johnson?" the CCTV reporter then asked.
Fan Xi thought for a while and answered seriously: "I don't have a goal to chase. I just want to be myself. As for what kind of player I want to be? A player who dominates the game."
Fan Xi's answer stunned the CCTV reporter.
He didn't expect... Fan Xi's ideals would be so lofty.
However, the Chinese have always been reserved, so to blatantly declare that they want to dominate the game is a bit 'arrogant'.
The reporter did not dare to continue on this issue.
He quickly asked Fan Xi his opinion and evaluation of Yi Jianlian.
"I know he is a very good power forward, with good athletic ability, good shooting ability, and relatively active defense. But he has never met a head coach who gave him enough tactical status and was willing to work with him.
A cooperative defender. This is a pity." Fan Xi said bluntly: "There are many such players in the NBA."
Forehead….
The reporter didn't know what to say.
He had no choice but to ask: "So what do you think of your opponent tonight, John Wall? He claimed that he had played against you in the college league. Are you old friends?"
"No. I'm not familiar with him, but he did defeat me in college, and that's a painful memory for me." Fan Xi said, "I hope I can erase the painful memories tonight."
"How to clear it?" CCTV reporter asked subconsciously.
"Beat him." Fan Xi smiled.
Strong confidence shines on your white teeth.
But reporters and photographers were shocked.
They feel that Fan Xi is really, really... so different, because most Chinese players don't speak like this, and pre-match interviews are often watertight and spot-on.
