Griffin certainly doesn't care about these details.
Although he once competed with Fan Xi on "Who is the only Haonan of the new generation in Los Angeles?", he failed later and was willing to do so. As for Fan Xi sending him to Dallas, he has completely accepted it and
Grateful, because he got more in Dallas, and he already has a new nickname of Texas Griffin.
Fan Xi won the consecutive All-Star MVP.
Return to Los Angeles that evening.
He did not continue to create so-called scandals with Malaji. He clearly expressed when accepting the media: "I don't mind what she said. I am indifferent to it, and I have no idea of developing a relationship with her. However, I am very
I like her ambiguity, she is a singer with such rhythm and rhythm that you can’t help but sway along with her.”
Of course, Fanci didn't just talk about Spicy Chicken, he also talked about Miami and Chicago United. "I don't know if they tried their best, but if they are just at this level, this year's championship should still stay in the West."
Fan Xi rarely let out a sarcastic comment.
Because with the closing of the trade window, other teams have made targeted signings, but the Clippers only signed one troublemaker, the gun-wielding general Arenas.
Miami has acquired Marcus Camby. Even though he is not young now, he is still a near-class rim protector in the league.
It can be said that the Heat's only weakness has been made up for by him.
The Lakers also strengthened their weak links. They got a quasi-elite point guard backup in Sessions who can still be competitive when Paul is not on the court. At the same time, they also got a satisfactory shooter. Their
The third position will be more aggressive.
Fan Xi doesn't like this contrast.
However, on the plane back to Los Angeles, he saw the media's rating for the Clippers' signing: D grade.
They believe that Arenas' arrival will destroy the Clippers' original chemistry.
Because before this, although the Clippers signed many former big-name players, whether it was Nash, Hill, Carter, Nowitzki, Yao Ming, Billups, or Hamilton, they were all very kind-hearted people.
It will destroy the chemical reaction.
But Arenas is different. This is a bad guy who brings a gun into the locker room. He has always been known for his unscrupulous speech.
Fan Xi decided to meet Arenas.
Arenas also wanted to see Fan Xi in Los Angeles.
The morning after arriving in Los Angeles, the only active All-Star MVP winner met Arenas at the Clippers training facility.
Arenas, as Kupchak described, has been very successful in losing weight. He has lost at least 30 pounds compared to last season. He looks very strong, and even his muscles have lost weight...at his peak
During this period, his upper body strength could be said to be the strongest among defenders, and he could push forwards away.
Arenas was as flamboyant as the rumors said. When he saw Fan Xi, he ran over to shake hands and bumped chests very boldly, and then kept talking like a street gangster: "...Hey, Jack, I saw you yesterday
Late game. The three-pointer you made that killed the game was so cool. Dwyane was like a baby in front of you. There was nothing he could do. He could only cry. I especially loved the momentum with your hands raised after you threw the three-pointer...
I didn't say you were imitating me, but you know, I once completed a kill like that...I was killing like crazy at that time. I was so cool that even if God stood in front of me with a sniper rifle, he couldn't defeat me.
I…"
Arenas's style of conduct is indeed completely different from other veteran players on the team.
Fan Xi looked at him calmly.
Until he stopped.
Arenas read the power of peace from Fan Xi.
He looked at Fan Xi.
He realized that this was Fan Xi's territory.
He began to wait for Fan Xi to speak.
After Fan Xi paused for a while, he said: "We need a three-point shooter. After evaluation, the management believes that you still have gas in the tank."
"Originally I was still a little worried, but after I saw your size, I realized that you realized this before me."
"You are no longer the trinity superstar in the NBA who is extremely fast, extremely powerful, and extremely accurate in shooting. Although the injury is regrettable, you need to accept it."
"If you're ready, come with us."
"There will be a championship. You should be looking forward to that stuff too."
"I have heard your story when I was very young. I saw your commercial on TV. I was a junior high school student in China at that time. I have heard the story of you choosing No. 0, which was used a lot of times.
Both inspire me, you and Iverson are both fighters."
Fan Xi looked seriously into Gilbert's eyes and spoke. He was not pretending, he was expressing his respect.
Gilbert Arenas still had a playful smile at first, but with Fan Xi's words, the smile on his face subsided and he became serious.
In the face of sincerity, it is difficult for people to resist, even if his protective color is very thick.
Arenas is a troublemaker. He is flamboyant, outspoken, and bossy. He always talks nonsense, criticizes this and that, and even bullies others.
But at the same time, he is not without merit. He is hardworking and diligent, and he has played from the bottom to the top of the league. His shooting is completely trained, and his terrifying upper body strength is also developed in the gym.
He has now lost his speed and explosiveness, but as long as his perseverance is still there and he is willing to follow the tactics and run with his shooting level, he can still find a job in the league.
It's just that his character problems are too serious and prohibitive.
The Clippers took over this hot potato, and everyone was waiting to see the joke.
Fan Xi did not continue a long conversation with Arenas, he walked over to train.
Fan Xi's training was equally boring.
Run back.
Run around the pile.
Then comes the ball-holding and shooting training.
Fan Xi shot again and again, stopping at any time to discuss the shooting angle with the shooting coach.
He honed his skills with great patience.
This made Arenas stunned. He originally thought that Fan Xi was just here to show off.
Create a hard-working character.
But I didn't expect that Fan Xi would train in such a simple and crazy way.
Arenas asked himself, if he had just won the All-Star MVP, he would definitely call his friends and friends to celebrate, let everyone feel his happiness, and reward him for his hard work.
However, Fan Xi had no such idea at all.
He trains seriously.
Arenas has a better understanding of Fanchy, and he realizes that Fanchy's rapid rise did not come out of thin air. A self-disciplined and diligent star can always win more respect, even if others cannot.
In the afternoon, the Clippers' young players came over for training.
Then, some conflicts broke out.
Arenas habitually asks Butler to carry his bag. This is an unwritten rule in the NBA. Rookies have to carry bags for veteran players.
However, this season in the Clippers, there is no such thing at all. The Clippers' veteran players are all very nice, and Fan Xi has just come over as a rookie. So, there is no such kind of 'culture'.
Arenas is also very carefree, acting like a gang leader.
At that time, Butler threw his bag aside, and the two had their heads on each other and almost didn't fight, if Leonard hadn't gone over to separate them.
A small conflict broke out on the first day Arenas joined.
Fanshi then did some ideological work. He told Butler about Arenas's point of view. The NBA has always had this tradition, and Butler had also heard of it.
Later, he told Arenas about the working atmosphere at the Clippers, saying that old and new people are treated equally, and there is no habit of carrying bags, and pranks and pranks on others are not encouraged.
Although both of them accepted Fan Xi's explanation, they still had some knots in their hearts and did not shake hands to make peace.
This matter was also spread, and insiders who did not want to be named exposed the news to the media.
Naturally, public opinion was in an uproar.
Opinion on the Clippers is even more widespread.
Moreover, some media have made public bets, saying that Arenas will definitely be kicked out of the Clippers if he does not make it to the playoffs, because the harmonious ecology of the Clippers will be completely destroyed by him.
These voices put great pressure on the Clippers and Arenas.
So much so that Arenas fired on social networks: Fuck you media, you always talk nonsense, always want to tear others apart, you have never done a good thing. Contempt! Contempt!
Arenas' anger has never been controlled.
How can someone like him, who directly attacks the media, get a fair evaluation from the Uncrowned King?
Suddenly, the personal attacks on Arenas increased again.
Even the Los Angeles media who are close to the Clippers are swaying, and Clippers fans are even more worried. In their view, why bother adding such a hot bomb to an originally harmonious team? Is this necessary?
In contrast, Sessions and Webster, who were hired by the Lakers, have been seamlessly connected since the beginning, and they have been low-key, honest, sincere and obedient.
Fan Xi did not express any opinion on this matter.
He is even different from what is rumored by the outside world. He agrees with Arenas's bombardment of the media. The Clippers seem to need such a thorn in the side.
It's like having a Rodman in the Bulls dynasty.
The key is that the edge of Arenas' knife should be facing the outside, not the inside.
The Lakers played a home game before the Clippers.
The newly joined Sessions and Webster played perfectly, and they easily defeated the New York Knicks 139:111.
The New York Knicks' next back-to-back opponent is the Los Angeles Clippers.
This caused many media to draw comparisons.
Even Arenas screamed in the locker room before the game. He said: We are going to kill the Knicks, sink the Knicks directly, and massacre them even more than the Lakers!
His style is indeed different from other old Clippers players. For example, other big brothers drink tea to stay healthy, but this one drinks vodka directly into his mouth.
If it were his peak period and he had the strength to play at the bottom, he would definitely be the number one hero, and the team would be very effective due to his heroic spirit.
The key is that he is now a player with an unguaranteed contract, and his strength has also declined significantly.
It seems a bit noisy.
Fan Xi still respects him very much.
I specifically explained to him: Our current policy is to train new players and not pursue big wins. However, tonight, we will let you play more, but the key is to play without the ball.
Arenas listened.
Fan Xi wants to take a long-term view to catch the big fish. Just give up on the regular season strategy, as long as he can make it to the playoffs.
"Then I understand." Arenas nodded.
The game has started.
Fanci, Arenas, Butler, Kwame Brown, DeAndre Jordan started.
This lineup was something Arenas himself didn't even expect.
He was already prepared to be a substitute, but he ended up starting.
Fan Xi can really surprise people.
Arenas suddenly had the idea of devoting himself to death.
However, when it came to the competition, he found that it was different from what he imagined. He was not entrusted with important tasks.
It was Butler who was entrusted with the important task.
Fanci gave a lot of the ball to Butler, who charged with the ball. It was easy for him to do New York without Anthony, but he rarely passed the basketball to Arenas.
Arenas played eight minutes in the first quarter and touched the basketball four times.
Three times it was passed to him by Fan Xi.
He seized 2 opportunities and hit 1 3-pointer and 1 2-pointer.
The efficiency is pretty good.
But he thought he could do more. When he came off the court, he couldn't help but said to Butler: Can't you pass the damn basketball to me more?
Bartlett also backed him up: "You, he, are running in the right tactical position."
"Why don't I have a tactical position in the team? Let me tell you, young people, positions are floating. Don't stick to the rules. Pass the basketball to me and I can score."
"I won't give it to him. I won't give it to him until he reaches the designated tactical position."
The two had a very emotional exchange and broke up unhappy.
There is no big problem for the Clippers to beat the Knicks, even if Nowitzki is not there.
However, it took until the last three minutes to determine the winner.
Jeremy Lin did not play against Fan Xi in the All-Star Game, but in this game, Fan Xi gave him a nail-biter at the last moment and pointed out directly: "Your left-hand dribbling ability is too poor."
This block, coupled with the subsequent breakthrough 21 layup, was the key to the Clippers' victory.
In the end, the Clippers defeated the Knicks 118:112 and won.
This victory raised the Clippers' record to sixth in the Western Conference.
But it didn't stop the comparison in the media. After all, the Lakers had slaughtered nearly 30 points before, but the Knicks played back-to-back games, and you only won by 6 points?
Arenas also exchanged vulgar words with Butler on the court. Arenas only made three of nine shots in the game, which was terrible.
Do the Clippers plan to use him as a perimeter shooter to open up the floor?
Doubts arose.
Fan Xi used a special way to break the doubt.
He arranged for Arenas to attend the post-game media conference.
