Chapter 17: Shawn Kemp's explosive power

"The next game is to go to Washington, a confrontation with the new top pick John Wall. If Jack still has a good performance in this game. We can consider giving him a contract with a comprehensive annual salary of 10 million."

After Jimbas was silent for a long time, he finally said: "However, the thing that must be considered now is that if he gets a contract with an annual salary of 10 million, he will inevitably become a target of public criticism."

Kobe said very firmly: "Believe me, this will definitely not be a problem."

The three of them reached a basic consensus.

Then Jimbas discussed the details of the contract with Kobe, about those incentive clauses.

Fan Xi didn't know at this time that the Lakers' young owner, general manager, and Kobe Bryant were discussing what kind of incentive contract they should give him.

What he cares about now is the Lakers' next opponent, the Washington Wizards, which is the last opponent before Fan Xi's second 10-day contract expires.

Currently, although Fan Xi has achieved unprecedented fame.

On the way from Staples Center to the Marriott Hotel by taxi, the taxi's radio has been playing his news. The DJ on the radio was very excited, even describing Fan Xi as a weapon given by God for the Lakers' revival, and also praised Fan Xi as the second Magic Johnson, the next generation core after Kobe. And, asked the team to renew the contract with Fan Xi immediately.

The taxi driver recognized Fan Xi. He not only waived Fan Xi's fare but also wanted Fan Xi to sign on his clothes and pants.

This shows that Fan Xi's influence is taking root in Los Angeles.

And when Fan Xi appeared at the hotel front desk, it made the trained service staff surprised. They have seen many celebrities.

Later, the manager also came over to give Fan Xi a free upgrade service. They upgraded the ordinary suite Fan Xi booked to a presidential suite.

Fan Xi thanked them very much.

And he said, thank you very much for Fan Xi's great contribution to defending the glory of Los Angeles. Because of Fan Xi's excellent performance, their hotel business has been much better because it is close to Staples.

This is of course polite words.

But becoming a celebrity is indeed a very good experience.

Fan Xi entered his room under the arrangement of the staff.

Before entering the room, he heard the conversation between two service staff.

"Wasn't this suite already booked?"

"Oh, the guest called before and said they wouldn't come to check in, so they canceled it."

"But, the room card has already been taken away."

"It doesn't matter, those big shots won't come again. And the front desk will cancel the function of that room card..."

"..."

These voices did not affect Fan Xi's mood.

After entering the room, he was shocked by this big suite of nearly 200 square meters. He had never had such a luxurious living experience.

Although Odom's home decoration is good, this is a presidential suite of a five-star hotel after all.

Fan Xi walked around with excitement, and then lay on the comfortable Italian high-end custom-made sofa. For a poor boy like him, this felt like a dream.

He recalled his encounters in the past few days, and he only had one thought: It's great to be a celebrity, there are privileges everywhere in life.

I must stabilize this life.

Fan Xi thought so in his heart. Then he took out the notebook in his backpack and opened the video of John Wall edited by the Lakers video editor in his email.

John Wall is the 2010 top pick. He is a talented point guard with extremely fast speed and has good passing vision and mid-range shooting ability.

Although the Washington Wizards where he is located are up and down because of the injury of team boss Arenas, this does not hinder him from becoming the most powerful competitor for this season's Rookie of the Year.

Fan Xi has had an understanding of John Wall. To be precise, they played against each other in college. Last March, it was John Wall and Cousins' Kentucky University that eliminated Fan Xi's Davidson College in the first round of the tournament.

At that time, Stephen Curry had already entered the NBA the previous year.

Fan Xi led the team alone, unable to support it alone.

In that game, John Wall's extremely sharp speed and super explosive power made Fan Xi difficult to cope with. Fan Xi was known as a defensive expert in the NCAA, but he was left and right in dealing with such talented players.

This is probably why he eventually failed in the draft, because there are many such talented players in the NBA. He is best at defense, but he can't even defend John Wall. He definitely won't work in the NBA.

This judgment is accurate.

But looking back, that game did change the fate of two people.

Wall soared into the sky because of this, and eventually achieved success, and was taken away by the Wizards as the first pick in the draft in a glorious way.

Fan Xi was therefore unknown. Even though he worked hard in the training camp, he still failed in the draft.

You know, the previous year. If Fan Xi and Curry participated in the draft at the same time, the prediction at that time was that there was a chance to be selected in the second round.

For a period of time, Fan Xi regarded John Wall as a hypothetical enemy.

But there has been no chance.

Now, fate has given them a chance to meet again, and they can finally touch each other again.

Fan Xi even hoped that God would press the fast-forward button. He couldn't wait to come to the night after tomorrow. He wanted to compete with John Wall again.

Wall in the notebook still has speed that is out of reach, but Fan Xi at this time... it is not difficult to keep up with him.

However, the agility and coordination between Wall's flashes and moves are still what Fan Xi does not possess.

Most importantly, Fan Xi knows deeply that Wall's most powerful thing is not speed, but his explosive power.

His explosive power can explode powerful energy in an instant, posing a powerful challenge to Fan Xi's defense.

If this matter cannot be solved, it may still fall into the disadvantage.

Now that two games have passed, other teams will definitely study his playing style carefully.

NBA competition is not just about the performance of players on the court, but also many hidden personnel, such as those video editors, editors, and assistant coaching teams. They are responsible for sending detailed information about opponents and defensive players to players before each game.

Let them know what the player's dominant hand is, what habits he has before starting, whether he prefers to break through from the left or the right, what way he will take for shooting, what changes he has... etc.

This is why many rookies will fall in front of the rookie wall, because you will be studied thoroughly. Unless you are powerful enough that 'even if the opponent knows how you will shoot, they just can't defend you', and to reach this level, you are a one-in-a-million superstar. Such as Kobe, Nowitzki, Duncan, James, Wade, Durant, these superstars.

Or, you keep making progress, and your progress speed is far beyond the speed of opponents studying you, until you become a superstar.

So, this is why many critics don't believe in 'flash in the pan' players.

Hu!

Fan Xi exhaled a breath of turbid air deeply.

This game is a difficult challenge for him. He must face the rebound within the team... Shannon Brown and Steve Blake will definitely not sit still.

And the confrontation from the outside... John Wall is his nemesis, and a very strong nemesis. He must defeat him, or at least be on par with him, to prove his sense of existence.

And most importantly, this game will be watched by countless people.

Fan Xi has already achieved two games. Some will think the first game was a fluke, and the second game was lucky. Although many teams have shown interest in him, he has not actually received a substantial offer.

He must do something in Washington and have some highlights to get the salary he wants.

So, this battle, can only win, cannot lose!

However... Fan Xi doesn't have full confidence at this moment.

Tonight, after he completed the buzzer-beater, he jumped onto the technical table. He hoped to replicate the situation of the last game, forming bioelectricity to produce brain waves to activate that lightning energy halo when emotions fluctuated to the extreme, thereby obtaining new technology or talent.

However, emotions did rise a lot.

But it was always a distance from lighting it up.

Fan Xi took psychology as an elective in college. He knows the principle: it is because of the psychological threshold.

Because there has been such a buzzer-beater scene once, and there has been a scene of thousands of people surging once. Therefore, the psychological threshold has been raised. Even if the performance in the second game is more perfect, it will never reach that point.

Just like the feeling of eating a delicious ice cream for the first time is completely different from eating a delicious ice cream for the second time. Even if the second one is better, it will never have the feeling of the first time.

Hu!

Fan Xi exhaled the turbid air heavily again.

Soldiers come to block, water comes to cover.

He stood up, took off his coat, prepared to take a bath in the bathtub, and then slept beautifully on the swan velvet sheets of the presidential suite.

Who knew, just as he took off his shirt, revealing muscles that were like knife-carved and axe-chiseled, the door was suddenly opened. And a very beautiful girl with a perfect figure broke in.

After she came in and saw Fan Xi, she was startled first, and then... a man also broke in.

He looked noble, and he looked good... should be a top rich second generation.

"Is there really someone?" This man was stunned.

Then, this big beauty who looked very familiar to Fan Xi walked over and held Fan Xi's hand: "I said long ago, I have a boyfriend, and my boyfriend is waiting for me upstairs, you hurry up and leave."

This....

That rich second generation was also panicked.

Especially after he recognized Fan Xi: "You... you... are you Jack Fan? Fan Xi who created miracles in the Lakers recently."

Fan Xi was about to ask what was going on, but heard the woman holding his hand asking for help in a very subtle voice: "Save me, save me!"

So, Fan Xi looked serious: "It's me. Who are you? Why are you chasing my girlfriend?"

"Oh." The rich second generation hurriedly raised his hands, indicating: "Sorry, sorry, I didn't know she was your girlfriend. I'm leaving, I will never harass her again, I am a die-hard Lakers fan, sorry, goodbye, goodbye!"

He hurriedly turned and left.

When he walked to the door, he turned back to guarantee to Fan Xi: "I absolutely didn't touch a finger of your girlfriend."

"Please enjoy tonight."

With that, he closed the door.

When he walked back, the dog-legged man guarding the door hurriedly asked: "Boss, just forget it like this?"

"Otherwise?" The rich second generation rolled his eyes at him: "Her boyfriend is Jack Fan, a Lakers player, don't make things big. Isn't it just a female star? If you don't chase this one, change to another one."

"Being a rich second generation prodigal son, the biggest realization is not to make things big, not to cause trouble for the family."

"Fan will thank me tonight, he will see a girlfriend like never before. Hehe."

"Just treat it as a kind of feedback from me, a die-hard Lakers fan, to him."

The rich second generation walked into the elevator with a bad smile and left.

Just like it never appeared.

This is the real rich second generation. Although they are messing around, they are always limited and will not be brainless and cause trouble like in novels, not afraid of making things big.

After the rich second generation left, Fan Xi pushed this female star. He said: "They should be gone, you can also leave."

"But this is my room." The female star raised her room card.

Fan Xi told her: "This is my room, I just opened it. The manager said you already canceled the order."

"This..."

The female star frowned, she looked very embarrassed.

Fan Xi was too lazy to chat with her. He just said to her: "You hurry up and leave, I'm going to take a bath."

With that, he walked towards the bathroom.

He thought this female star wouldn't stay here.

After all, which female star doesn't have her own aura?

So, he didn't use the so-called 'force' to send her away, nor did he call the staff to let them handle it.

Give each other a step down.

Fan Xi walked into the bathroom, put the water, adjusted the water temperature, and then sat in, lying down. By the way, he poured himself a glass of red wine, drank two sips, warm, relaxing from the inside out, he felt very comfortable and comfortable.

Rich people know how to enjoy!

Fan Xi thought so in his heart.

Just then, a figure suddenly broke in from the outside.

Fan Xi didn't notice it until he dived into the water.

Fan Xi was startled.

"I'm so hot! I need to calm down!!"

Fan Xi heard the voice.

Then... gradually, he suddenly felt his whole body's blood boiling, and his heartbeat seemed to be a dense machine gun firing.

And, he felt his emotional fluctuations reach the extreme.

Very rapidly, he formed bioelectricity to produce brain waves, and then the halo in his brain was lit up.

Then, a player's figure appeared in his mind: Shawn Kemp.

He got Shawn Kemp's explosive power.

My God!

Fan Xi was so surprised that he couldn't control his body, it was great.

It was actually Shawn Kemp.

Shawn Kemp is a super forward of the 90s. He is the only power forward who has completed a free-throw line dunk. His physical fitness is very explosive, and the duo he formed with Gary Payton even fought against Michael Jordan in the finals.

And his technical level is not very high, relying on beast-like physical fitness, especially jumping ability and explosive power.

What is the difference between getting his explosive power and eating a ten-complete big tonic pill?

Fan Xi was overjoyed.
