Fanci and Stephen Nash had not interacted much before. Probably the only intersection was during the All-Star Game. Fanci miraculously took away Chris Paul as the starting point guard in the Western Conference. Then Paul took Nash's banner and said that Fanci fans still
There are league rules that disrespect them and exclude two-time regular season MVP Stephen Nash.
However, Nash is a friendly person. He has never had any direct conflict with Fan Xi and even encouraged Fan Xi during the game.
Therefore, Fanshie has a very good impression of Nash and believes that he is a truly humble gentleman, just like his teammate Grant Hill in Phoenix.
Stephen Nash also had a very good impression of Fan Xi, which was why he called Fan Xi.
"Jack, I'm planning to leave Phoenix. Do you have a good position for me?" Stephen Nash got straight to the point, just like his straightforward style of play.
Fan Xi has always been a "reciprocate" character. Nash is so candid, and he is even more candid: "Stephen, I think you should have heard some rumors. Let me tell you, the rumors are true. I will not be a championship player soon."
A member of the team…”
"I know your desire for a championship is greater than anything else right now. However, it is very likely that I will go to a team that strives to compete for the championship instead of staying on a championship-level team."
Fan Xi said it very frankly.
He is even more direct than Nash. If Nash reveals what he said, it is very likely to change the subsequent transaction.
Things can only be accomplished if they are kept secret, and many deals in the NBA that can change the league's structure are destroyed by being exposed in advance.
Fanshi gave his trust to Nash.
Nash was stunned. He didn't expect that the incredible rumor was true. Although the Suns general manager once told him that the Lakers did send such a signal, he felt that the Lakers were not stupid enough.
He even discussed with Jerry West to join the Lakers.
In the entire Lakers, the player who gave him the biggest shock was not Kobe Bryant, but Fan Xi. Therefore, when he was with Yao Ming on the other side of the ocean, he had time to breathe with Fan Xi.
However, Fan Xi brought him completely opposite news.
Do you still want to go to the Lakers?
Nash's originally firm heart was shaken instantly. Every frame of Fan Xi's performance in the finals was deeply engraved in his heart. He could not forget the impact Fan Xi had brought to him.
So, he took a deep breath.
He asked his heart three times.
Then, he asked Fan Xi cautiously: "Which team will you go to? Although this is very presumptuous, I really want to know."
"Clippers!" Fan Xi's answer was firm and clear: "I want to stay in Los Angeles, and I want to get back the respect that belongs to me."
Stephen Nash fell silent on the other end of the phone.
This phone call to 'show good' in advance actually gave him such an astonishing shock.
He was surprised by Fan Xi's frankness, and he was impressed by Fan Xi's competitive spirit.
At the same time, he was also swaying from the prosperous scene described to him by Jerry West before. The Lakers are so powerful. They have won three championships and established a dynasty.
But now, the balance in his mind couldn't tell which was more important. On one side stood the Dynasty Lakers, and on the other there was only Fan Xi.
Nash has made countless decisions in his life, and he even changed the trend of the league.
But this time, he slowly closed his eyes. He thought for about ten seconds and recalled the Clippers' lineup last season. He asked Fanxi: "Are Griffin and Jordan still with the Clippers?"
Fan Xi raised her head and asked her agent.
Lu Yuan gave a definite answer.
"Yes, they stay here." Fan Xi said calmly.
"So, do you mind having one more veteran on the team?" Stephen Nash made the final decision. The aloof No. 10 in his heart defeated the glorious Lakers dynasty.
This is the last important decision of his career. It is a big gamble. If his agent is standing next to him, he will definitely choose to stop it. After all, between the Lakers and the Clippers, any fool will choose the Lakers.
But Nash is a brave man. He is a two-time regular season MVP. He will always make options that ordinary people would not consider.
Fan Xi did not hesitate, he answered directly: "Of course, Stephen. You are welcome to join and thank you for your trust. I can welcome you on behalf of the Clippers. This is my authority determined in the negotiation."
"Okay. Get your general manager ready to renew the contract."
Then he asked Fan Xi: "Is three years enough?"
Fan Xi thought carefully for a long time and said, "That's enough."
It was such a happy decision.
Two-time regular season MVP, Stephen Nash, who led the run-and-gun storm, chose Fanci in the last moment of his career. He gave up the three consecutive Lakers dynasty and made the most willful decision in his life.
This is a huge gamble, bet on the superstar’s curse of never winning a championship.
Fan Xi hung up the phone. He felt incredible. He had never thought that the two-time regular season MVP and his childhood idol would go to a team that didn't even enter the playoffs last season because of him.
What he didn't know was that he conquered not only the fans in last year's finals, but also these long-established superstars.
Fan Xi has a strong sense of character from the 1980s and 1990s, and his tenacious spirit is extremely fascinating to these old guys.
"What happened?" Lu Yuan asked Fan Xi.
"You may not believe it, but Stephen Nash decided to follow my footsteps and join the Clippers!" Fan Xi tried his best to suppress his excitement.
Oh my god!
Lu Yuan screamed. "God, this is so crazy. The Clippers will celebrate wildly because they got Nash, and the Lakers... will probably burst into tears, right? Stupid Jenny would never have imagined that she only won now, but lost.
It’s the future, and the people’s expectations are highly anticipated.”
The Lakers have previously negotiated the signing of Stephen Nash.
At this time, Jenny Buss was celebrating wildly with her assistant in the office.
She is currently working on two important deals, both of which are making stunning progress.
Once these two transactions are successful, she believes that the Lakers will become a real Galactic battleship, and the City of Angels will be even brighter because of the Lakers. As for Fan Xi joining the Clippers, he will not hesitate to be a lame duck and get into a dead end, never to see the light of day again.
Jenny wasn't worried at all.
"Jack Fan and Dunleavy were used as bargaining chips to obtain Chris Paul from the Hornets in a three-way transaction. Andrew Bynum was used as the main bargaining chip to obtain Howard...Imagine center Howard, power forward Pau Gasol, and small forward Ron A.
Test, shooting guard Kobe Bryant, point guard Chris Paul. And the upcoming backup point guard, Stephen Nash!"
"God, what kind of galactic battleship is this? The Big Three in Miami will be eclipsed."
"Jake thought he was irreplaceable at the No. 1 position, and the fans also worshiped him as a god. However, if Chris Paul and Stephen Nash stand at our No. 1 position in the new season, who will miss him? He is just a
A shooting star, and what we have is the current No. 1 point guard and the former No. 1 point guard!"
Jenny Buss is quite happy with her horseshoe disease.
She thought it was all so wonderful.
She was very grateful to Jim Buss. If Jim Buss hadn't brought Fansheed to the Lakers, how could the Lakers have such a wonderful bargaining chip in exchange for such a shocking lineup.
"Let us observe a moment of silence for the Los Angeles Clippers. Thank them for helping me solve an injury problem, hahahaha."
Jenny Buss got carried away.
She is extremely looking forward to draft night on June 24. She has every reason to believe that this night will permanently change the league.
