Chapter 237: Two poles split

~13 min read 2,518 words

Ah!!!

Derek Rose fell on Fan Xi, but he was the one who made a painful sound; he covered his right knee with both hands, and cold sweat flowed out from the gaps of his hot sweat.

He realized that something was wrong; he knew the worst situation had happened.

At this time, Thibodeau on the sidelines was also very, very worried; he quickly let the team doctor go over, and looked up at the big screen above his head.

Replayed the process just now.

The Clippers' defense was fine.

But Derek Rose's landing had a problem; his right foot collided with the floor forcibly... this is the situation most prone to injury.

Equivalent to a hard landing.

Fortunately, Fan Xi went over in time, supported him, and helped him unload the force, and the two fell to the ground together.

Rose was quickly helped to the side, and the Bulls team doctor and the Clippers team doctor came over together to perform a simple diagnosis on him.

It just so happened that Dr. Laisi was here; after she asked Rose a few questions, she made a professional and pessimistic reply: "Don't move for now, push the wheelchair over, and let him go to the hospital for an examination immediately. He is very likely to have injured his cruciate ligament."

My god.

This injury is a star killer, especially for superstars like Rose who have explosive athletic ability and eat with speed and explosive power.

The Bulls team doctor seemed to have a different judgment; Fan Xi said to Rose: "Believe in Dr. Laisi, she is very professional; my injury was cured by her."

Rose nodded until the wheelchair was pushed up.

"Thank you."

Rose said to Fan Xi when he left.

He knew what help Fan Xi brought at the moment he was injured; he felt that if Fan Xi hadn't supported him from behind, his injury would definitely have been more serious.

Fan Xi said: "Go for a diagnosis first."

Then, added another sentence: "Derek, when you return to the court again, I hope you change your style of play. I don't want to miss your peak."

"We are lifelong enemies after all."

Fan Xi's voice drilled into Rose's ears.

Fan Xi had told Rose many times to change his style of play, but every time he treated it as wind in his ears.

However now, the injury happened to his knee, and a nameless great terror shrouded his whole body. He became very clear in the pain; Fan Xi's voice drilled into the depths of his mind for the first time.

Then, Rose nodded. He warned himself in his heart: If I am lucky enough not to have a major injury this time, I will definitely correct my style of play.

When Derek Rose left in a wheelchair, Thibodeau could only put CJ Watson on the lineup.

CJ Watson is a relatively mediocre player, 1.88 meters tall, weighing 80 kilograms, and entered the league as an undrafted player. Such players are usually strong on offense and weak on defense, with mediocre talent.

Fan Xi's suppression of CJ Watson can be described as bloodline suppression; they are not at the same level at all.

"The Bulls are a team led by Derek Rose; Derek's injury means that many of their tactics have entered a standstill phase, which will be very difficult."

"This is a game that ended before it even broke out; the Clippers have damn luck, although this was exchanged for Derek's injury."

Mike Breen said sourly on TV; he didn't talk about Fan Xi's behavior of supporting Rose.

However, this couldn't hide from the eyes of the vast number of fans.

In fact, the TV camera had long captured the thank you Rose said to Fan Xi before leaving.

Everyone knew clearly that if it weren't for Fan Xi, Rose would have been more likely to suffer a more serious injury.

The game continued to play.

The Bulls fell into a slump; lacking Rose, they lacked powerful kinetic energy on the offensive end; Caron Butler tried to drive the team's offensive, but Leonard stood in front of him, and Leonard used his winding defense to make Caron Butler lose his level.

The Bulls kept hitting iron.

The Clippers exploded with a flowing offensive in the last quarter; driven by Fan Xi, they blossomed everywhere, and everyone opened up.

Thibodeau looked at the Clippers' offensive like riding the wind and waves, and he had a palpitation.

He knew that Los Angeles had one more strong team from now on. He even had a feeling that even if Derek Rose remained on the court, it was very likely that he wouldn't be able to resist the Clippers' offensive; the Clippers' rotation was too silky.

Their lineup depth is terrifying.

God knows why those vicious critics call them "old, weak, sick, and disabled."

125:108.

The Clippers finally won the opening game easily; they defeated the Chicago Bulls, the Eastern Conference regular season champion last season.

Won a good start.

Although the media will definitely say that it was because Rose was accidentally injured that the Clippers had a chance to win, but winning is winning.

People who watched the game must have their own thoughts.

Blake Griffin is very shocked now; he hurriedly sent a text message to Fan Xi; in the text message, he told Fan Xi that he was willing to apologize to Mike Brown publicly and was willing to accept the team's positioning for him.

He appeared very humble.

Because he knew he was no longer a player the Clippers couldn't do without; the Clippers could still be a team without him, and as a rookie, once labeled as a trouble player and thrown into a small dark room to be frozen for a period of time, his future would be greatly discounted.

Griffin is now terrified, just hoping Fan Xi can save him.

At this time, his eyes were fixed on the TV.

He was afraid that Fan Xi would say something when accepting an interview, or that Mike Brown would talk about him.

However, what he didn't expect was that when Fan Xi accepted an interview with a courtside reporter, he said: "Undoubtedly, this is a wonderful start. We are united, we won this game, and we are all thrilled by this result; this is what we want."

Then, a reporter with ulterior motives asked him: "However, Blake left the court, and he quarreled with the head coach; this is something the whole world knows..."

"Ahahahaha."

Fan Xi laughed.

At this time, Griffin in front of the TV had his heart tightened into a ball; at this moment, he didn't know what Fan Xi would say.

"Sometimes what the eyes see is not the fact; the real situation is that Blake felt knee pain and needed to return to the locker room to rest. His communication with Mike was a bit intense, but this just shows their relationship is tacit; they can say some dirty words to joke. Just like, I also often say, Blake is a bastard, a bastard whose brain is full of springs."

"Sometimes, scolding a person is more intimate than praising a person."

Fan Xi said with a smile.

Blake Griffin was stunned in front of the TV; he never dreamed that Fan Xi would speak for him like this.

Doesn't he know that the team has already fallen out with me?

Griffin thought to himself.

Fan Xi answered other questions later and affirmed that Griffin is the Clippers' inside offensive core.

This made the reporters very confused; is it really their way of communication?

Later, Mike Brown smiled and said in an interview: "Yes, our communication is very intense; I often call him a little bitch... these don't hinder anything."

It sounds like the Clippers have unified their caliber.

A heart of Griffin hanging in mid-air was slightly let down.

What Griffin didn't know was that Mike Brown was pulled aside by Fan Xi to chat for a long time before accepting the interview.

Mike Brown didn't understand why Fan Xi still wanted to cover for Griffin, when the team could be better without him.

But Fan Xi told him: "Why fight for this moment of anger, Mike. Since we decided to trade him, why not make his trade value higher before that? Do you think other teams will like a problem rookie, or a shining super star?"

Fan Xi said to Mike Brown.

Although Mike Brown was very angry, he did understand what Fan Xi meant.

Fan Xi wanted to maximize the benefits of this matter.

Mike Brown was persuaded a bit, and he said: "But I still need him to give me a profound apology in front of all the players."

"Of course, this is a must."

Fan Xi said.

When Mike Brown walked to the press conference scene, Fan Xi and Griffin had a phone call.

Fan Xi emphasized the seriousness of the matter to Griffin, and Griffin himself already knew about this matter. He was very grateful to Fan Xi for helping to persuade Mike Brown and doing other work.

He promised that he would definitely obey Fan Xi's tactical guidance next, determine Fan Xi as the only core of the Clippers, definitely unite closely around the team with Fan Xi as the core, and consciously follow Jack's tactical thinking.

At the same time, he expressed that he would definitely make a formal apology to Mike Brown.

Griffin's attitude was sincere as never before; his willful move this time made him much clearer.

After Fan Xi finished the call with him, he took Chen Ye's car to Dr. Laisi's hospital.

Derek Rose's injury report had basically come out; the lucky thing was that his anterior cruciate ligament didn't tear, but a tear appeared, which was a tear between level 1 and level 2.

Dr. Laisi suggested conservative treatment, but the Bulls' team doctor and the Chicago expert group, plus the Bulls' management team, hoped that Rose would undergo surgical treatment.

Fan Xi didn't want to participate in this matter originally.

He came to visit Rose on the way.

Rose was very grateful to Fan Xi, because the doctor told him that if it weren't for Jack supporting you, your ligament would have been very likely to tear.

For Rose, the Rose team, and his sponsors, this is a rebirth.

It can be said that Fan Xi saved Rose's career.

Rose looked at Fan Xi, and tears were swirling in his eyes.

Fan Xi was at a loss because of him; after all, no big man looked at himself with tears in his eyes like this.

Rose asked Fan Xi for his opinion later.

How could Fan Xi give an opinion?

He just said: "This matter needs your own consideration; if you think conservative treatment is good, then conservative treatment. If you think surgical treatment is good, then surgical treatment."

Fan Xi didn't give an opinion.

He chatted with Rose for a while and drove back himself.

Chen Ye stayed here; he asked Fan Xi for leave; he was going back to Dr. Laisi's home.

Next, he wouldn't go to the away game with the Clippers.

Fan Xi was also happy to be idle.

…

Returning home, he turned on the TV, and it happened that the Lakers vs. Miami Heat in the East had also finished.

Miami Heat successfully defended their home court with 101:94.

But in Time Warner's report, the Lakers were defeated but glorious; their host said: "If there wasn't that damn home whistle, if Bynum wasn't called for a defensive foul, if James wasn't called for traveling, if Chris Paul wasn't infringed and got a free throw, if Wade's 3-pointer didn't go in, the Lakers would have completely won this game."

In the case of so many ifs, they could still blow so naturally.

Regarding the Clippers defending Staples Center, they were stingy with words, focusing on reporting that regular season MVP Derek Rose was injured and left the field, and the Clippers won the game in one sentence.

Didn't say that Fan Xi scored a super stat of 28 points, 13 assists, 7 rebounds, 3 steals, and 2 blocks in the first game, nor did they say the deep foundation of the Clippers' 6 people scoring in double digits.

This is the media's prejudice; in modern society, everyone thinks they can receive a massive amount of information, but in fact, all information is screened and processed.

The media that controls the discourse power is the uncrowned king; they can easily classify various audiences, divide people into different camps, instill different information into them, and let them be self-righteous with each other.

Fan Xi changed the channel; this local channel was reporting the Clippers' victory in a big way, describing the Clippers as unique. The host said in an excited tone that the Clippers' championship road had set sail, and such a powerful opponent as the Bulls fell under the Clippers' iron hooves, which fully proved that the Clippers had stood in the forest of strong teams, and Jack Fan is always the spokesperson for miracles...

This channel also refuted some media reports that Griffin and the team were not in harmony, and crazily praised Fan Xi for protecting Rose.

The Los Angeles basketball market has seen a serious split.

The era when the Lakers pressed the Clippers to play and the Clippers didn't have a breath of air has gone forever.

Watching more and more voices for the Clippers emerge, Jean Bas was suffering immensely at this moment, and her temper was growing worse.

Opening game, Lakers lost, Clippers won.

These are the two things she finds hardest to accept, but now they are truly placed in front of her.

Since the Lakers were massacred by the Clippers in the preseason, her anger has never gone away.

Now, another fire was lit.

"What on earth can make the damn Clippers fall into a slump!! I don't want to see any news of their victory again."

Jean Bas roared on the phone with Magic.

Magic didn't know how to answer Jean Bas at all. He actually wanted to say in his heart: If you knew today, why did you do it in the first place? If you didn't trade Jack to the Clippers, the Clippers would never have the volume to compete with the Lakers in Los Angeles.

But this sentence definitely can't be said; Jean Bas is the actual person in power of the Lakers.

After Jean Bas had a nameless fire, he said cautiously: "Jean, maybe what we should worry about now is our internal problems."

"The conflict between Andrew and Chris is getting bigger and bigger!"

Magic said to Jean Bas.

This is a problem Jean hadn't thought about before; she originally thought that introducing Paul would be worry-free, and with the current super luxury lineup, it would be enough to crush any team in the league.

But now, there is a problem inside.

Is it really only possible to trade Bynum?
