Chapter 19: The arrangement of fate
Matt Barnes' voice is not small.
So much so that everyone turned their heads to look at Fan Xi, and then many people opened their laptops or the latest mobile phones to search for relevant information. When they saw the information in the news, some were worried, some were gloating... at least Steve Blake and Shannon Brown had a thick 'good show to watch' expression on their faces.
They now need a powerful opponent to stand up and teach Fan Xi a lesson, which might allow them to gain an advantage in the competition.
Honestly, ever since Fan Xi broke the team record and hit the buzzer-beater against the Bulls in the last game, they lost confidence in defeating Fan Xi. They just wanted to use some other tricks to deal with Fan Xi, or drive Fan Xi away.
John Wall.
Not a bad guy.
Steve Blake raised his eyebrows, and he exchanged glances with Shannon Brown. Then he lowered his voice and whispered in his ear: "I think John Wall can easily crush him. Yes, I have full confidence in John Wall."
Shannon Brown nodded. When the Washington Wizards challenged Staples Center last November, he had witnessed John Wall's power. "That kid is like a rocket thruster installed. He is fast and amazing. I can't even eat his exhaust."
The two whispered, excited about the 'hardship' Fan Xi was about to face.
It's like two eunuchs worrying about whether the prince's sex life is harmonious.
"I've watched the previous two games, Fan's performance is very good, good shooting, good speed, good ball handling."
John Wall's interview was placed in a prominent position on the website.
Fan Xi could see all the content very clearly.
John Wall also talked about the past. "I played against him in college. He was the core point guard of Davidson College at the time. He was known as a defensive expert in the NCAA. But that game, I remember I scored 28 points, I solved him without blood, and eliminated his team."
"I'm not saying he's not a threat to us. I mean, comparing me to him, I feel offended."
John Wall has the arrogance of a top pick. His goal has always been locked on Blake Griffin... Griffin was the top pick in 2009, but he didn't play a formal game and was out for the season, so to be precise, this season is his rookie season. Currently, he and John Wall are fighting hard on the Rookie of the Year list.
John Wall is more willing to talk about Griffin's name, not Fan Xi.
He felt that Fan Xi was nothing to talk about. He had already watched all of Fan Xi's videos. He recognized that Fan Xi was a person with fast straight-line speed, and also recognized that Fan Xi's open shooting was very accurate, and some ability to handle the ball in fast breaks.
But so what?
"Who can't accelerate in a straight line? Fast in corners is real fast."
John Wall, as a top master of the speed school, has speed not much different from Rose, and even pure speed might be faster. Rose's strongest is his explosive power, the torque of instantaneous explosion is too amazing.
Fan Xi finished reading the whole interview.
He didn't feel surprised. John Wall was still as 'arrogant' as ever. He had been arrogant since college and never put any opponent in his eyes.
At that time, Fan Xi was also very angry, but he couldn't do anything about him.
Now, Fan Xi's confidence is more sufficient.
"Jack, relax." Lamar Odom next to him patted his knee, he was comforting Fan Xi.
Fan Xi turned his head and gave him a bright smile. He felt it was nothing. Maybe his teammates thought his trouble was big, after all, it was the top pick who came to the door, and it was the top pick known for his talent.
But Fan Xi plays the top pick.
Can defeat the popular Derek Rose, can't defeat the fledgling John Wall?
Although playing the Bulls, it counts as a surprise soldier, the Bulls know nothing about him.
Now, the Wizards have studied him carefully.
But... they didn't count on his current explosive power... top talent from Shawn Kemp!
"I can defeat him." Fan Xi patted Lamar Odom's back of the hand and said in a very steady tone.
Pfft!
Just after he finished speaking, laughter came from the front.
It was Andrew Bynum. He laughed, and even stood up and turned around to be yin and yang: "If you can defeat John Wall, why aren't you the top pick? You are an undrafted player."
His words are full of thick irony.
But it sounds reasonable.
Yeah, since Fan Xi can defeat Wall, why did he fail in the draft?
"I follow the arrangement of fate." Fan Xi said calmly.
"How do you think fate will arrange you?" Bynum said aggressively.
"Everyone has their own time zone. New York time is three hours earlier than California time, but California time hasn't slowed down. Someone is unemployed at 22 and waited five years to find a good job. Someone became CEO at 25 but died at 50. Someone became CEO at 50 and lived to 90. In this world, everyone has their own time zone and their own rhythm. Don't envy or laugh at them, they are all in their own time zone. You are, and I am."
"Life is actively waiting for the right time to act. You are not ahead, and I am not behind."
"Just like, you joined the league as a lottery pick at 17. But you still haven't mastered the initiative."
"And I, although I entered the NBA as a temporary worker at 19, I am gradually mastering my own initiative. I know where I am going, and I can definitely reach my goal."
Fan Xi looked at Andrew Bynum, who was successful at a young age, and spoke to him in a very calm tone. But the words were mixed with sharp bayonets and arrogant pride.
Bynum felt very uncomfortable listening.
Although he only read high school and had no culture. But he heard the irony in it, and he was very uncomfortable. So, he exploded.
He still used a child's thinking to solve this matter: "Coaching staff, I request that he not be allowed to play in the next game. If he is there, I am not, if I am there, he is not!"
He gave the coaching staff a problem. He believed that the coach would definitely choose him, not this poor temporary worker.
Then, he looked at Fan Xi: "Your fate is not controlled by me yet. I said you can't play in the next game, you can't play."
He grinned, very terrifying.
But just then, Boom!
The plane shook violently, and the private plane encountered turbulence in the air.
Everyone was sitting in their seats with seat belts fastened, except Bynum, who stood up and was bossy. So, he was swayed by the huge shock at that time... Plop!
His tall body fell to the ground and rolled into the middle of the aisle... his lower leg was thrown on the iron bar by the huge inertia... Bang!
A muffled sound!
Everyone in the cabin heard it.
Bynum let out a painful wail, very shrill.
But the plane was in turbulence, and no one dared to help him.
Everyone was protecting their own bodies.
The plane kept shuttling through the turbulence... Bang bang bang bang!
Bynum fell back and forth in the aisle, his screams getting more and more miserable, more and more shrill.
In his terrifying and miserable screams, everyone began to think about the words Fan Xi said before... It seems that fate is really arranged like this.
Bynum failed to challenge fate!
He is not a savior, he cannot arrange Jack's fate.
Just as he said himself, there is no Fan Xi if he is there.
From the sound of his miserable screams, it can be seen that God made a decision for the coaching staff. Bynum doesn't need to play in the next game.
After about 20 minutes of bumps, after Bynum's screams became breathless, the plane finally stabilized.
And the team doctor was finally able to walk to the aisle to check Bynum.
When the team doctor touched Bynum's lower leg, Bynum, who was still screaming in a low voice, suddenly raised his volume and let out a pig-killing scream.
The team doctor frowned, and Phil Jackson asked him what was wrong.
He replied: "Fractured. Maybe a comminuted fracture."
What?
Bynum's eyes went dark, and he fainted directly.
Fractures are not terrible. For athletes, this kind of hard injury can be repaired for a few months, and it won't even affect athletic ability. Athletes are most afraid of soft tissue ligament knee joint injuries. Once these parts are injured, it will affect athletic ability.
However, comminuted fractures are different. Even if they are repaired, they are prone to stress fractures.
The legendary giant Yao Ming retired completely because of this injury.
It can be called a center killer.
Therefore, Bynum went dark and fainted.
At this time, a strange atmosphere lingered in the cabin. Everyone looked at Fan Xi carefully. Bynum's precedent is not far away, and it is easy for them to have the idea of 'will Jack be the Chosen One'.
Even Phil Jackson felt magical. He is a person who practices Zen, a person with relatively heavy idealism.
He now really believes in fate a little bit.
Otherwise, how could it be such a coincidence?
It seems that Fan Xi really needs to be reused.
He thought so in his heart.
Lamar Odom was relatively sober. He said to Fan Xi: "Actually, the captain had already notified everyone that they would encounter airflow before. If Andrew didn't stand up to mock you, he wouldn't be injured. I think his injury this time will definitely become a joke in the NBA. We should still be kind."
Fan Xi curled his lips. He didn't care about Bynum's injury, nor did he care if it was an arrangement of fate.
Now for him, it just cleared an obstacle, that is, he would not be unable to play because of other people's obstruction.
Bynum woke up during the long flight and hurt, screamed for a while and then hurt and fainted again, tossed several times, the players felt creepy, and finally arrived in Washington.
Then Bynum was pushed onto the stretcher to the hospital. When he left, Bynum still threatened Fan Xi: I will definitely come back.
Fan Xi didn't know what deep hatred he had with Bynum, making this guy bite himself so hard.
"It's a good thing you come back, I welcome you back." Fan Xi said indifferently to him.
