Chapter 204: Tactical lean back, what is
"What? Jack agreed so quickly? He said he is willing to be traded, but wants to go to a big city with a better climate?"
When Jeanie Buss received this call, she was a bit surprised, and there was even a sense of loss in her surprise.
Harry Brown on the other end of the phone said to her: "Jack said these things, does it mean he is very confident in his future? We are taking a huge moral risk by trading him out like this. If he plays well, we will be even more passive. Kobe just called to ask me if I want to trade Jack, and I denied it according to your instructions. If he finds out I lied to him, he will definitely be furious."
Jeanie Buss frowned and thought for a while, then she quickly calmed down, because she had seen the diagnosis report sent by Laisi yesterday. She said very firmly: "Jack is playing hard to get. You Chinese people like to be so circuitous. Trying to exert extreme pressure on us, I won't fall for his trick. Tell the whole league that any team can participate in this trade, but in the end, choose a better city for him. After all, he is our Finals MVP."
Speaking of this, Jeanie couldn't help but feel moved by herself: I really am a good person.
"Then Kobe's side..."
Before Brown finished speaking, Jeanie interrupted him: "It doesn't matter on Kobe's side. If he knows that I traded for such a great superstar for him, he will definitely be ecstatic. Soon, he will forget Jack. In fact, he hasn't played with Jack for long."
With Jeanie Buss's guarantee, Harry Brown operated with more energy.
In fact, at this very moment, when the management of other teams in the league learned the inside news that Fan Xi was going to be traded, each one was like they had been injected with chicken blood.
This is Jack Fan, the super rookie who finished off the Big Three in the Finals, a legendary figure, with explosive commercial value. Although there are injury risks, who the hell doesn't want to try? Even if it's a cup of poison, one has to drink it with their head up. What's more, he only has one year left on his contract. Even if he is scrapped, it's only one year's salary.
There are too many teams in the NBA willing to take risks.
Especially those teams aiming for the championship.
The Chicago Bulls, Boston Celtics, San Antonio Spurs, Atlanta Hawks, Dallas Mavericks, and Miami Heat are the most active.
These teams contacted the Lakers almost immediately, hoping to get Fan Xi, and the chips they offered were not low.
Fan Xi's value is highlighted at this moment. Harry Brown is a bit dazed now. He has a strong feeling: Perhaps, Jeanie is wrong? Although she is domineering and has courage, so many teams are willing to recruit Fan Xi, doesn't that mean Jack is "hoarding for a high price"?
Even the Miami Heat came, full of sincerity, and it was Pat Riley who called Harry Brown personally. Pat Riley said to Harry Brown: You can make any suggestions, except that the Big Three cannot be moved.
Harry replied to him: If the Big Three cannot be moved, what do we want your role players for? This is not a game of breaking the whole into parts.
In fact, the Lakers already had a trade target in mind, which was Dwight Howard of the Orlando Magic.
And at this time, Pat Riley threw a bombshell, saying to Harry Brown: "If you must have a giant, Chris Bosh can be discussed."
My God. He is actually willing to take out Bosh to trade for a Jack Fan whose ligaments are torn. Bosh is the King of the North who has been tested again and again, and he played a huge role in the formation of the Big Three.
Now Pat Riley says he can trade him. This is a huge risk, a huge crisis of credibility.
Pat Riley is a shrewd businessman. He is willing to make such a trade-off for only one reason: Fan Xi's value is greater than Chris Bosh's, and it is far greater than Chris Bosh's.
Harry Brown was thinking at this time, if he could use Fan Xi plus Odom, and then give Dunleavy a sign-and-trade contract, to trade for Chris Bosh and Mario Chalmers of the Miami Heat, this would also be a very good trade.
Brown felt for the first time that making a trade was such a comfortable thing.
In addition to the shocking offer from Miami, other offers sent continuously also made Harry Brown's eyes light up.
When Harry Brown fell into the "happy choice syndrome," Fan Xi's side had already started the bonfire dinner.
The Kardashian family does have entertainment effects. They decorated this place perfectly, and the photographers they brought were also actively shooting material.
Watching everyone singing and dancing, Fan Xi also joined in happily.
"Hey, Jack. Why are you jumping up? Isn't your leg injured?" Kim Kardashian shouted at Fan Xi. Before, Fan Xi was doing barbecue over there, helping Chen Ye.
Chen Ye is indeed a talent as he said. His barbecue skills are very good, with a very Northeastern Chinese barbecue flavor. Fan Xi likes it very much and recommended it to others.
Although the women of the Kardashian family refused this kind of heavy oil and heavy salt food, Kanye West and Odom ate very happily.
Kanye, in the mood, even carried a beer and did a freestyle to the rhythm.
Lamar Odom danced along beside him, and the atmosphere was quite harmonious.
Such a beautiful picture, I believe that if it is put into "Keeping Up with the Kardashians," it will immediately trigger a subscription frenzy.
"I am gifted, how could this little injury bother me." Fan Xi raised his right foot and said proudly.
Yes, he feels better and better now.
He is particularly willing to believe that the energy in his brain changed everything. After this incident, he believes he will never have to worry about any injuries again.
For athletes, the ability to resist injury is very important. Many superstars fall because their bodies are too fragile. And those who can become historical-level superstars, without exception, are not bothered by injuries during their peak period. Kobe has played until now without any serious injuries, and Michael Jordan, except for the period when he was out in his second season, was vigorous and powerful the rest of the time. And interestingly, he was clearly stronger after returning from that injury.
"Jack, don't you plan to dance with Jenner? If you are sure your foot is better, and you don't worry about her stepping on your right foot." Khloe started to stir up trouble on the side.
Fan Xi looked at the camera next to him and agreed quickly.
He knew he needed some publicity, and he wanted to let Lu Yuan know that he wasn't shooting at nothing.
Lu Yuan previously only told Lakers executives that Fan Xi agreed to be traded. He didn't announce to the outside world that Fan Xi refused to accept surgery, and also said something about finding TCM treatment.
This would make many media follow suit and attack Fan Xi for being a freak who doesn't believe in modern medicine.
Lu Yuan didn't want Fan Xi to bear such a reputation, and what if Fan Xi didn't accept treatment and the situation became worse?
Therefore, Lu Yuan resolutely did not execute it, and also found Chen Ye, who claimed to be a master of bone-setting and swelling, to help Fan Xi look at it.
Chen Ye looked at Fan Xi for a while, and his pressing technique was very professional.
He subsequently said to Lu Yuan: "I think the boss's ligament is not torn? He might just have a normal sprain, the kind that isn't serious. When we practiced martial arts at the Shaolin Temple, we often encountered this situation. There were many that were much more serious than this."
Lu Yuan said to Chen Ye irritably: "What do you know? You know just by pressing it twice? Is the professional equipment not clearer than your hands? It was photographed as torn, and you are still saying it's a sprain..."
Lu Yuan became more angry as he spoke. He felt Chen Ye was just talking nonsense.
Chen Ye was scolded, and he got excited too. He retorted to Lu Yuan: "Then is there such a possibility? Actually, the boss's physique is very special. He might have two ligaments? It doesn't matter if one is broken, there is another one. I have seen such people..."
Before Chen Ye finished speaking, Fan Xi stood up immediately. He was very excited: Ah, yes, yes, yes, the situation might be exactly like that.
Fan Xi now needs someone to provide a theoretical basis for himself. Chen Ye is the endorser, and he doesn't care whether Chen Ye is professional or not.
Bluff Lu Yuan first.
Lu Yuan didn't seem to be bluffed.
So, Fan Xi followed the trend quickly. He held Jenner's hand and danced an unfamiliar ballroom dance in front of the bonfire.
Although Fan Xi was limping on his right foot, it could be seen that his state was very good. He didn't look like a person who was about to be pushed onto the operating table.
Lu Yuan was confused.
Clearly yesterday Jack couldn't walk normally, clearly he still needed crutches or even a wheelchair, now he can throw away the wheelchair, walk on his own, and even dance?
This is somewhat... unbelievable.
"Chen Ye, does a person with two ligaments really exist in this world?" He asked Chen Ye suspiciously.
Chen Ye patted his chest and said: "There are seven billion humans, anything is possible. I have even seen fellow disciples born without ankle ligaments, but it didn't affect his explosive power at all. Many things are relative. Western medicine likes to make people clear, but in fact, everyone has a certain uniqueness."
"Anyway, from my experience, I think the boss doesn't have much of a problem. I pressed many parts of him, and he only felt pain, not numbness."
Chen Ye said very sincerely: "Or, you can arrange another test."
Lu Yuan was somewhat persuaded.
He seemed to understand why Fan Xi was so calm when he learned he was being traded. If Jack was not injured at all, then leaving was indeed a good thing for him. In the Lakers, he might not get such great training. Looking back, if Kobe hadn't been injured in the Finals, it wouldn't have been his turn to stand out.
Next season, Kobe returns. Although Kobe is generous enough to give up some ball rights, Fan Xi's personal experience is bound to be compressed.
So... Fan Xi agreed to be traded, announced he wouldn't accept surgery... these were all to make himself leave the Lakers more smoothly, right?
Lu Yuan thought of this, and a smile appeared on his face again. He began to feel that he could understand Fan Xi's thinking.
He realized that he could be on the same frequency as a great man. Perhaps this is what is called "near vermilion, one gets stained red."
Lu Yuan quickly turned around. He wanted to make a call to Ma Chen and tell Ma Chen to announce to the outside world that Jack Fan had terminated the surgery plan and chose conservative treatment.
