The Clippers once again won the Los Angeles Derby in a focal point.
The California media reported the incident the next day.
In the past, when losing games, many Lakers media outlets would jump out and give reasons of one kind or another. They always had excuses.
But this time, there are still media debating for the Lakers, but the debate is much less vocal.
After three wins in the regular season, the Clippers' defeat of the Lakers is no longer a "sensational" and unacceptable event. More and more people are beginning to believe that the Clippers have truly risen and that they can compete with and defeat the Lakers.
The Lakers are no longer invincible, even though they have the most luxurious superstar lineup in the league today.
In this subtle process, Fan Xi's image became more and more majestic. The moment he was sold by the Lakers, he was the object of sympathy, he was a weak avenger. People sympathized with him morally, but did not think of him
Can take revenge on the Lakers.
As time goes by, Fanci changes from a weak Avenger to a powerful incarnation. He becomes more and more powerful, and the history of the Lakers abandoning him becomes part of his legend. People turn from spurning Jenny Buss to condescendingly mocking Jenny.
Buzz, she transformed from a villain into a funny clown.
Some people even began to sympathize with her.
Such a stupid guy could be the helmsman of the Lakers, and the traditional giants were destroyed. If she hadn't traded Jack, how strong would the Lakers be now? She actually thinks Chris Paul is better than Jack Fan?
More and more such voices are appearing in the media, and they are spread from the bottom up. They first spread among the fan groups, and then authoritative media began to follow up.
In this process, the person who suffered the biggest impact was Jenny Bass.
Secondly, there is Chris Paul.
Paul was ambitious when he joined the Lakers. He thought he could accomplish every goal in his dream. But now, he is in a quagmire. He didn't get what he wanted, and he even lost the title of No. 1 point guard.
The rookie mvp who he thought he could easily kill before the start of that season has soared higher and higher this season and led the Clippers to a rapid rise.
Paul no longer has an escape route. If he cannot win the championship, this will be an important turning point in his career.
Therefore, Paul had a fierce argument with Kobe Bryant in the early morning after the game.
After watching the review of the game, Kobe Bryant said: "If we keep playing positions and consuming their patience and energy, the Clippers will have no chance of winning at all."
"No, Bryant. On the contrary, I think if we suppressed them from the beginning, we played dynamic offense, and our talents were unleashed in the first half, they didn't even have the ability to drag the game into the second half."
"Jack Fan is very strong, but there is no need to overestimate his strength."
"We are better than the Clippers in every dimension, why did we lose this game? Wrong decision!"
"We need to change our tactics. Jack Fan understands the triangle offense more than us."
Chris Paul was talking loudly in the locker room, and his voice was particularly loud in the Staples locker room at 12 o'clock in the morning.
When he joined the Lakers, many people thought that Paul's ball-dominating attributes would lead to a conflict between him and Kobe. After all, Paul was the kind of super point guard who wouldn't even obey the head coach, while Kobe was someone who felt that he was in power when he didn't get the ball.
The scoring king.
Their conflict didn't break out until the Western Conference Finals.
Much later than expected.
But at the same time, the intensity is much stronger than imagined.
Matt Barnes, who was standing in the corner, even saw Kobe Bryant's hands shaking. Many years later, Barnes wrote in his memoirs: The air at that time was like the cold wind in Alaska frozen in the glacier. , the locker room was so quiet that I even heard the sound of rats peeing on cotton in the warehouse next door. These are two powers competing. Chris Paul challenged Kobe Bryant after such a defeat. This is No one thought of it.
Matt Barnes wrote this passage in his long memoir, which shows the impact of this incident on his affairs.
Soon, Magic Johnson stepped in. He kept the coaching staff, as well as several core players.
Other players were invited to the locker room to take a shower, and Matt Barnes, who is good at communicating, was also invited to attend the post-game press conference.
Matt Barnes performed perfectly in the press conference, and he regarded it as something worth boasting about in his career.
At the same time, a heated debate was going on within the Lakers.
Kobe and Paul almost brought out the worst in themselves.
They yelled and cursed.
Paul said that Kobe's approach was outdated and that Kobe played a lot of meaningless singles on the wing and would only bring the team down.
Kobe criticized Paul for never proving himself and not using the regular season to define the playoffs. He also claimed that if Paul did not follow his own footsteps, he would never win a championship in his life.
Later, Paul said: "You have always been a selfish person, you only know how to take action yourself."
"No, you are the most selfish player. You just package yourself to be selfless. You just look selfless. You occupy the ball for a long time, and the basketball is meaninglessly slapped in your hands. I only take action. How many seconds does it take, but it takes more than ten seconds for you to hold the ball? How many seconds does an offense only take in total?"
Kobe and Paul were at odds.
They finally brought out the worst.
They were noisy and exhausted.
Then, Magic called them into the room, and they started talking about tactics, team status, and profit distribution.
Magic is a player who can control the situation. He is the greatest superstar in the history of the Lakers. He is also the greatest point guard in NBA history.
His understanding of basketball is at the top.
No one knows what kind of communication, what kind of quarrels, what kind of compromises happened, what kind of reconciliation took place in that simple house.
Finally, when Kobe and Paul walked out of the room, Paul walked behind Kobe, and then they greeted everyone together, saying that this was just an effective communication and that they would be more closely united in the next game.
Because everyone's goal is to win the championship.
At least there won't be any obvious rift in their relationship until they win the championship.
This is the biggest consensus among the Lakers at present.
…
Fan Xi didn't know what thrilling things happened to the Lakers last night. He was complaining that the fried chicken with chili that Chen Ye cooked today was too bad again.
Chen Ye spread his hands helplessly: "The chili and chicken here in the United States are completely different from those in China. I have tried my best. If you want to eat authentic food, you should finish the finals and return home."
Fan Xi shook her head helplessly.
Although Fan Xi has been in the United States for many years and is more accustomed to the food and climate here, he still wants to eat hometown dishes occasionally. This morning, he wanted to eat rice rolls from Guangdong, large plate chicken from Xinjiang, roast duck from Nanjing, and Hunan.
Stinky tofu….
So, he called Chen Ye.
Chen Ye tinkered with it all morning, but always came up short.
Chen Ye also wants to eat roujiamo, mutton skewers, spicy soup...
Two Chinese people were sitting at the door of the American courtyard, looking at the sky and sighing.
It’s not that these things don’t exist here in Chinatown, but the taste is far different from that in China and is not authentic.
"I will definitely eat as much as I can when I return home." Fan Xi said in a "venting" manner.
Chen Ye nodded quickly.
He asked Fan Xi again: "I heard that you promoted two movies in order to participate in the Olympics. Is it worth it? I heard from Brother Lu that you earned more than 15 million US dollars from just that movie last year.
Aren’t you tempted by the price of an actor?”
Fan Xi raised his head and looked at the sky, then at the chili fried chicken in the bowl. He said, "The producer changed the time to wait for me. How much money can I make to eat authentic hometown dishes?"
If it were the old Chen Ye, he would think Fan Xi was pretentious.
But now, he is also a successful person. He is no longer a martial artist who goes around doing little things, nor is he a little bodyguard following foreigners.
After he followed Fan Xi, he not only got a formal job, but also married a wealthy man like Dr. Lace as his wife. More importantly, since he trained Rose, his current rehabilitation training package costs 200,000 US dollars each.
.
Supply exceeds demand.
Not only NBA players came to him, but also rugby players, and even tennis player Serena Williams came to him for consultation.
He and his wife combined Chinese and Western skills and made a lot of money.
However, he still did not quit Fan Xi's job. He drove Fan Xi every day and worked as a trainer at the Clippers training facility.
"Did you watch the news? Taylor Swift's studio was on fire last night."
Chen Ye changed the topic.
Fanci said: "Tyler told me this morning that he just burned some equipment. The media must have exaggerated."
Chen Ye smiled and said: "What I admire most is your dominant position in the relationship between the sexes..."
Fan Xi did not discuss this topic with Chen Ye. He stood up and went to watch the video tape.
"These Hollywood female stars are also 'strange'. Although Jack is more handsome and richer than me, there seems to be nothing special about other things. Don't women like men who spend time and money for them? Jack spends his time every day.
He was just hanging around the basketball, and he didn't stop those female celebrities from bumping into him."
Chen Ye murmured in his heart.
He couldn't figure it out.
Because, he couldn't see Jack's core competitiveness.
In the evening, Chen Ye and Fan Xi watched the Eastern Conference Finals together.
The Miami Heat faced off against the Chicago Bulls at home. This game was thrilling, with sparks hitting the earth. Compared with the first game of the Western Conference Finals, both sides carefully tested and played high-quality positional offense. The Eastern Conference Finals has a completely different style. The two teams came up.
Just like the tip of a needle.
All kinds of defensive counterattacks, all kinds of speed-up and rhythm, all kinds of lightning speed.
Both Fan Xi and Chen Ye could feel the intense speed and passion while sitting in front of the TV.
This game is destined to be the masterpiece of Derrick Rose's career.
He felt surprisingly good tonight, making 4 of 5 shots from beyond the three-point line. You must know that Rose is most criticized for his shooting from beyond the three-point line.
In one game, he made 80% of his three-pointers and scored 12 points.
So, it is not surprising that he scored 46 points, 11 assists, 7 rebounds, 3 steals and 2 blocks in the game.
He led the Chicago Bulls to a 111:107 victory over the Miami Heat.
In this game, his light completely covered the Big Three.
The Big Three played well, and although LeBron struggled a bit tonight, he helped Miami a lot in other ways.
Wade also scored 28 points and 8 assists.
But, to no avail.
Rose dominated the game in an unprecedented way. After returning from injury, his strength has reached a new level. The last Bulls player to become stronger after injury was Michael Jordan.
After Michael Jordan was injured in his second season, he immediately became the scoring champion in his third season after returning from injury, averaging 37.2 points per game, starting his legendary journey as the God of Basketball.
Now, Rose has reminded Bulls fans of Michael Jordan, and everyone believes that Rose has the opportunity to threaten LeBron James' position as the number one player in active service.
After this direct conversation, some media even said that among the three new generation superstars, Derrick Rose will soon be one position ahead of Kevin Durant and Fanci.
Among the three superstars of the new generation, Kevin Durant is the youngest scoring champion in history, and his scoring ability ranks first among current players. Derrick Rose is the youngest regular season MVP in history. After returning from injury, his control of basketball has
The change of rhythm has reached a new level, and he can be called the best offensive point guard in NBA history. Fanshie is the youngest Finals MVP in NBA history. He does not seem to have top achievements in the technical field, but he can always
Creating miracles, he is a miracle son comparable to the God of Basketball.
"I think you will become the most sought-after rehabilitation therapist in the world this summer." Fan Xi said to Chen Ye.
Chen Ye shrugged his shoulders and said: "Actually, I have received an order from LeBron James' team. They are willing to spend 300,000 US dollars to ask me to assist James in special training in the summer. They are really willing to spend money.
"
Fanshi shrugged and said: "LeBron is the league's most expensive superstar in terms of physical maintenance. I estimate that he spends more than one million dollars on physical training every year."
"Then you have to work harder."
Chen Ye said: "I can see clearly the structure of the NBA now. Kobe and Duncan, the pan-96 golden generation, are already in the twilight of the gods. They will soon withdraw from the main stage of the NBA. James, Wade, Howard
, Paul... This group is considered the Pan-03 Super Platinum Generation, they are already the mainstay of the league, and they are taking over the NBA in an all-round way."
"You, Rose, Durant, and Westbrook are considered the new generation of superstars. Starting from this year's rookies, they are considered a new generation... If you directly follow the Pan-03 generation, I feel you are better than Jordan.
, Jordan only ruled one era, you can conquer at least three eras."
Chen Ye counted on Fan Xi's fingers: "Beat the Lakers, and you will end the Pan-96 golden generation. Kill James, and you will conquer the super platinum generation. Overwhelm Ross Durant, and you will be the ruler of this generation.
.If you work harder later, you will be undefeated in the East!!"
Chen Ye was joking.
Fan Xi took it seriously.
He took a breath of air and asked Chen Ye: "You think, if I really do it, will I surpass Jordan and become the first person in history?"
"Hey!" Chen Ye rolled his eyes at Fan Xi angrily: "How dare you think that you are dating a Hollywood female star. Do whatever you want."
