Chapter 150: Jack, Your Sneakers Are Going to Be Hot

"No one can say for sure about the future. Maybe Nowitzki will wear a purple and gold jersey."

Fan Xi joked.

He is a smart person, and he knows when to be vague.

The Dallas reporter's meaning was naturally to recruit Fan Xi to Dallas, but how could Fan Xi follow his meaning? For the Mavericks, their playoffs ended here, but for Fan Xi, his journey had just truly begun.

The Purple and Gold Legion still had to impact the championship and achieve a new dynasty.

At this time, any word from Fan Xi could cause a mistake.

What's more, he was the biggest hero tonight.

Fan Xi was surrounded by reporters, and when he returned to the locker room, he was surrounded by his teammates again. Everyone was convinced by Fan Xi's performance. Unknowingly, Fan Xi had become the backbone of the Lakers.

This was a situation that had never happened before.

Even Magic Johnson, who was popular back then, only took on the heavy responsibility in the Finals.

Fan Xi's rise, from the perspective of the overall situation, was incredible.

But for these teammates who watched Fan Xi walk step by step, they felt solid and credible.

Fan Xi sat at the press conference, he put on his suit, looking suave, although he looked a bit immature, he had a handsome appearance that only movie stars could possess.

The reporters at the scene paid tribute to this rookie who created miracles.

Fan Xi was the culprit who sent the Mavericks to their doom, but the Dallas reporters surprisingly didn't make things difficult for him or make him embarrassed.

The atmosphere was very harmonious.

The Dallas reporter even asked Fan Xi: "Do you feel that you are the most legendary rookie in history? You are an undrafted player, you are the Rookie of the Year, you are the All-Star Game MVP, you are the creator of the counter-attack in the semifinals, you are simply an ignored, true chosen son."

"If you meet LeBron James in the Finals, do you think you can kill LeBron James?"

The Dallas reporter asked sincerely.

He felt from the bottom of his heart that Fan Xi's rookie season was already the most legendary experience in league history, and he felt from the bottom of his heart that Fan Xi could be compared with LeBron James.

Although this sounded absurd, and even implicitly carried a bit of great disrespect.

He asked seriously.

Fan Xi didn't dare to answer specifically, he just smiled, like Leonardo facing a reporter asking about gossip: "I feel that I am plain and unremarkable, just a very ordinary NBA player. The only thing I can control is to let myself go all out in every game. As for who the opponent is and what achievements the opponent has, it is actually not in my consideration. I just want to win the game."

Fan Xi's speech was enough for reporters to make a big fuss.

The Los Angeles media and the Chinese media were very friendly, and the questions they asked Fan Xi were easy to answer, all of which were answers that were good for everyone.

The press conference ended in a pleasant atmosphere.

Overnight, the Purple and Gold Legion returned to Los Angeles in a happy and harmonious atmosphere.

Defeating the Dallas Mavericks, and it was a 4:1 elimination, which was extremely favorable for the Lakers' preparation. They had a real time advantage and could wait for the results of the Grizzlies and Thunder games with ease.

In fact, on the first night the Lakers returned to Los Angeles, the Grizzlies tied the total score to 2:3.

Next, they would have the sixth battle.

If the Grizzlies continued to be fanatical and played a 3:3 score, entering the seventh game, it would be even more favorable for the Lakers.

Fan Xi returned home, and what he saw on TV were all praises for himself. He had become the new symbol of the Purple and Gold Legion.

More and more upper-class social circles in Los Angeles were proud to know Fan Xi. In fact, Fan Xi received many inexplicable phone calls. The other side said they were bosses of listed companies, shareholders of entertainment companies... They called not for anything else but to invite Fan Xi to their parties.

This was a good opportunity to expand the top social circle.

However, Fan Xi politely refused them all.

He used preparing for the game as an excuse.

The other party expressed great understanding. People who can mix to that level cannot be angry because of a polite refusal, let alone shout with a red neck at a low-end wine party: If you don't drink, you don't give me face.

Once they reach that level, face is very valuable.

Fan Xi was indeed very busy returning to Los Angeles, but not only preparing for the Western Conference Finals. Before the opponent of the Western Conference Finals came out, the Lakers even had two days off.

In the busy and high-intensity playoffs, proper rest is extremely necessary.

Bynum called Fan Xi frantically these two days, hoping to go out and play with Fan Xi, and he told Fan Xi: "Jack, do you know? You are now the sweet pastry of all nightclubs in Los Angeles. You will cause madness if you go to any nightclub, and those women will swarm to you like sardines."

In Bynum's heart, winning the game and gaining fame, not going to the nightclub to cash out is simply wearing brocade at night.

He is like most black people.

Possessing simple values, making money and buying various luxury goods, especially gold and diamonds, then flashing in the nightclub, attracting the attention of various women, and then taking away the most beautiful women like choosing a concubine, and having a crazy night.

They rarely have any long-term plans.

Fan Xi of course refused him.

And reminded him to focus on the game, and wait until the playoffs are over and the championship is won, there will be plenty of time to play.

I don't know if he listened.

Kobe Bryant is a person who does what he says. He did let his wife Vanessa wear Fan Xi's new sneakers.

Fan Xi saw the report on TV, as well as print media.

This did a great promotional push for Fan Xi's new sneakers that were counting down to release.

And this was not the biggest promotion.

The biggest promotion appeared at the MTV Movie Awards.

Although the MTV Movie Awards were a grade lower than the Grammys, they were also full of stars.

On the red carpet that night, what attracted the most attention was not Beyoncé's low-cut dress, nor Miley Cyrus' hollow long skirt, and certainly not Avril's high heels.

What became the headline the next day was Fan Xi's new sneakers.

Kendall Jenner was a presenter at this year's awards ceremony. Although she hadn't officially debuted yet, she already had high popularity among teenagers, and the MTV Movie Awards were the awards ceremony most loved by young people.

Jenner appeared on the red carpet, and she was actually wearing a pair of fanx sneakers.

Her outfit was very sporty.

Usually no one would dress so sporty and appear at the awards ceremony.

And she did it, and she attracted everyone's attention.

Going against the norm can always attract side-eyes.

Then it was Selena.

Selena was expected to win the MTV Teen Choice Award this year. As a teenage star pushed by Disney, she had a unique position in the teenage group.

Young boys and girls loved her sweet smile, and the American media even affectionately called her America's Sweetheart.

In the American entertainment industry, there are very few people called sweethearts.

The last America's Sweetheart was Britney Spears.

How popular was Britney back then? It can be said that she was the last world-class superstar in the true sense.

There have been three in the music scene, Michael Jackson, Madonna, and then Britney Spears.

Other singers, although there are many who are famous and make a lot of money. But when it comes to the real world-class, known to women and children all over the world, there are only these three.

It can be seen that the American media calling Selena a sweetheart carried what kind of hope.

When Selena appeared on the red carpet, although she didn't wear sportswear like Kendall Jenner. However, under her long skirt, there was also that pair of eye-catching basketball shoes.

fanx.

At that time, this pair of basketball shoes attracted the attention of TV viewers, and people began to think about the origin of this pair of basketball shoes.

Finally, Taylor Swift appeared.

Taylor Swift was a super little diva who emerged in the American music scene. Her reputation as a talented woman had already resounded through North America and was spreading to Europe.

Her record sales had surpassed many, many predecessors.

She was considered the leader of the American music scene in the next ten years, and many music critics couldn't wait to remove the "little" in front of her name and just call her a diva.

She was the female star with the most nominations tonight.

However, she was dressed very simply.

Because her figure was tall, she just walked on the red carpet in a simple T-shirt and tight jeans.

Then, she was wearing Fan Xi's signature shoes on her feet.

And when she walked to the place to accept the interview, she also naturally crossed her legs and told everyone: "This is the brand new sneaker that Jack Fan is about to release. It is very comfortable, and I can't leave it anymore. It will be on sale across the United States this weekend, everyone must not miss it."

Taylor Swift used the huge ratings of the MTV Movie Awards to advertise for Fan Xi.

However, the TV station didn't feel offended, let alone think it was using public office for private gain.

Because, all along, the scandals between Fan Xi and them were intricate.

At this time, the host was also very smart. He asked Taylor Swift: "Taylor, in fact, besides you tonight, two other female stars, Kendall Jenner and Selena, also wore this pair of basketball shoes. Does this pair of basketball shoes really have such charm? Or is it that the owner of this pair of basketball shoes possesses extraordinary charm, making you unable to help yourself."

Taylor Swift was slightly stunned when she heard that Selena and Jenner were also wearing this pair of basketball shoes.

But after all, she was a female star who had seen the big scene. She quickly responded smartly. She raised her eyebrows and said: "This is a secret. When you put on this pair of basketball shoes, you will know the answer."

Taylor Swift did a wave of promotion for Fan Xi without showing any traces.

This host naturally said: "I will definitely buy it, Taylor. I want to know this answer too much."

In fact, this was also the idea of many viewers in front of the TV. If you can know these secrets by putting on Fan Xi's signature shoes, who would feel sorry for the money?

Moreover, after three baptisms, everyone felt that this pair of basketball shoes looked really good, not as bulky as other basketball shoes, and it looked particularly light and agile on girls' feet.

Fan Xi was not sitting in front of the TV watching the live broadcast.

However, Lu Yuan and Ma Chen were guarding in front of the TV, and he immediately felt steady.

The boss's female confidante is really iron enough. This wave of promotion can be worth 10 million US dollars in promotion fees.

Invisibly, it also got a promotional slogan for fanx: Do you want to know Jack Fan's extraordinary charm? Go buy fanx.

Lu Yuan and Ma Chen had increased confidence in the sales figures in North America.

Fan Xi's god-like performance in Dallas locked the hearts of fans, and now this wave of female stars "bringing goods" made gossip fans eager to move.

Lu Yuan was even thinking: Is it possible for us to break some sales record?

"As long as Jack's own brand stands firm, Jack's commercial image will be more magnificent in the future, and the brand owners will not be able to refuse the offer we give."

Lu Yuan said to Ma Chen.

This is a very, very important indicator.

People are always like this, always like to send money to those who are not short of money.

This time, Fan Xi wants to establish the status of "not short of money."

His brand in North America is only allowed to win, not to lose.

What Lu Yuan and Ma Chen didn't expect was that at the MTV Movie Awards, the three female stars didn't just promote fanx in front of the camera.

The more explosive news was that they also promoted it backstage.

That night, the rumor of Taylor Swift and Kendall Jenner kicking the Jonas Brothers was exposed.

Moreover, many media received videotapes, but the Jonas Brothers' brokerage company was exerting pressure, hoping that these videotapes would not be exposed.

However, basically, it was only a matter of time before the videotape was exposed.

Fan Xi saw this news the next day and was taken aback.

He was afraid that the two would be hurt.

He hurriedly called Taylor and Jenner.

He was worried.

However, positive information was soon sent to him from the other end of the phone.

Taylor Swift said there was no problem, they didn't dare to fight back at all, they just had stinky mouths.

Jenner kept thanking Taylor Swift for her righteousness on the phone, and said that the second brother in the Jonas Brothers was a bastard, and if she saw him next time, she would beat him again.

From this exchange, Fan Xi got the news.

That was that the second brother in the Jonas Brothers might have said something unpleasant to Jenner, and then a conflict broke out between the two sides, and then both of them kicked the second brother of the Jonas Brothers.

And because it was in the backstage aisle, it was filmed.

For this idol group Jonas, this was obviously a huge damage.

But for Fan Xi, for Fan Xi's brand, it was likely a big improvement.

Lu Yuan extracted the core promotional point: Wear fanx, kick the scumbag.

And what Fan Xi didn't expect.

On the night the Oklahoma Thunder defeated the Grizzlies, the media that first exposed the video was produced.

It was tmz.

This is an era-spanning Internet entertainment media. It broke the shackles of traditional print media and attracted great attention in North America in the form of facing the audience directly.

Since its establishment, it has exposed many big news.

And this time, they resisted the pressure of Disney and exposed the videotape directly.

Moreover, the videotape was very clear, and even the dialogue was clear.

Now, before the game was over, Fan Xi received a call from Kobe Bryant.

Kobe said on the phone: Jack, your sneakers are going to be hot! ===== CHAPTER 151 =====
