Chapter 238: Everyone humiliates Miami
The Lakers' affairs are always complicated; a huge giant always has amazing moves before decaying.
Fan Xi received Derek Rose's phone number the next day; Derek Rose told Fan Xi that he had decisively and timely rejected the treatment opinions provided by the Bulls, and he decided to undergo conservative treatment in Los Angeles.
His family, agency, and sponsors strongly supported his decision, including the Chicago Bulls, who didn't insist on their own views.
Because Rose gave them a reason that couldn't be refused. "I found Jack Fan's attending physician."
As everyone knows, Jack Fan fought for the Lakers until his ligaments tore last season, and it was all cured through conservative treatment.
At that time, everyone in the world thought Fan Xi was finished, and the Lakers even traded Fan Xi to the same-city team.
Now, Fan Xi has proven himself. The first ball of his first game returning to the court was to smash the basketball into the Lakers' basket.
With this powerful example of conservative treatment in front of them, how could they not be convinced, not to mention it was Fan Xi's attending physician.
Everyone is looking forward to Derek Rose returning to full blood and recovering.
After all, his injury degree is weaker than Fan Xi's back then, although his injury position is more critical than Fan Xi's.
Half an hour after Fan Xi finished the call with Rose, he saw the statement from Rose's team on TV, which briefly introduced the injury and expressed the idea of staying in Los Angeles for treatment, and at the same time, they also focused on thanking Fan Xi, saying that if it weren't for Fan Xi supporting Rose, the situation would have been worse.
Their statement won Fan Xi widespread praise in Chicago, and passers-by fans gave thumbs up one after another. Compared to those top point guards who move to play black hands, stretch black feet, and show black elbows, Fan Xi's behavior is simply a moral model.
This kind of "passive propaganda" is an invisible improvement for Fan Xi; although it can't be seen in a short time, once it accumulates to a certain level, perhaps people will re-discuss who is the number one point guard in the league today.
Chris Paul came to Los Angeles to join the Lakers; it's hard to say that there was no idea of stealing Fan Xi's fruits of victory. However, now, Fan Xi is going to "steal" his home.
…
Although many Japanese fans think Blake Griffin's crew cut looks like Sakuragi Hanamichi, Griffin made a confession similar to Mitsui Hisashi to Mike Brown on the plane.
He is really scared now.
He knows that the Clippers have many ways to take him, and he dare not have any willful behavior anymore; the team will not spoil him anymore.
So, he put himself very low and expressed his apology and gratitude to Mike Brown sincerely and loudly.
Mike Brown took a shelf for a while, and finally "forgave" him smoothly.
Blake Griffin didn't get an internal suspension from the team, but Old Dunleavy still fined him 40,000 USD.
The plane flew to Texas after Griffin apologized; according to the schedule, the Clippers will start this year's away trip there.
As everyone knows, the Texas Three Strong are the traditional strong teams of the NBA, and the first away game is the start there.
The Clippers' regular season schedule this year is "strong first, weak later"; they will encounter many, many strong teams in the first half of the schedule, while in the second half, they will compete with some weak teams.
Tight first and loose later; from a certain point of view, this is unfavorable for a rebuilding team that focuses on cultivating rookies.
…
The Clippers' first away opponent is the San Antonio Spurs; the Spurs have always been called the king of the lockout season; last time the lockout happened, they won the championship. This time, San Antonio has always had a voice whispering, summoning the reincarnation of fate.
It's just that, today's Duncan is no longer young, the wheels of the three carriages have begun to break, just like the bald top of the chasing boy Ginobili, it is quite sudden.
Today's Spurs are a team that doesn't look very strong at first glance, but if you look closely, they are not bad.
The starting lineup composed of Blair, Duncan, Jefferson, Ginobili, and Tony Parker is full of experience and extremely tacit; they have honed this tactic for more than ten years.
They stunned the Clippers as soon as they came up.
When the Clippers played the Bulls, they were measured and free.
However, when playing against the Spurs, they immediately felt the gap in tacit understanding; the Spurs' resilience was too strong; perhaps their impact was not as good as the Bulls, but it was like a master who had practiced internal skills for many years; when they touched, the Clippers were stuck.
Fan Xi broke through the defense several times, but was always taken by the opponent in the next few rounds.
The Clippers' tacit understanding has some problems; this is not a gap in strength.
The game was played until the last 2 minutes before the winner was decided; the Spurs defeated the Clippers 108:99.
The Clippers suffered a defeat in Texas.
Then they rushed to Houston without stopping; at the Toyota Center, in this back-to-back game, the Clippers released all their resentment.
The Rockets were beaten violently from beginning to end; once the Clippers opened up the defensive counterattack, they inevitably produced fast breaks; once fast breaks were produced, it was either a 3-pointer or a dunk.
After Yao Ming retired, the Rockets were already a tiger without teeth, and couldn't even be described as a tiger. The main lineup composed of Scola, Jordan Hill, Courtney Lee, Kevin Martin, and Kyle Lowry was not the Clippers' opponent at all.
The Rockets' boss has always been a stingy person; they are reluctant to spend big money to introduce superstars; back then they squeezed Yao Ming and McGrady, wasting their peak combat power, and now they are piecing together these scraps, trying to make a comeback.
This is simply a daydream.
During the offseason, they even wanted to recruit Fan Xi, and were unwilling to spend the price.
It was purely wanting to use Fan Xi's influence to make another profit; how could Fan Xi deal with this kind of person?
155:99.
The Clippers ushered in another big victory.
The 56-point massacre was spectacular, and everyone witnessed the Clippers' strength.
Even those commentators who deliberately slandered the Clippers couldn't help but list the Clippers in the playoff list.
ESPN ranked the Clippers' strength ninth in the West, estimating that they have a chance to enter the playoff contention.
Fan Xi is too lazy to care about this; he won't be happy because of others' small praise, but he will definitely remember those slanders and splash them back on them hot.
The Clippers' third stop is Dallas; the Dallas Mavericks lost to the Lakers very regretfully last season, and they are still holding a grudge, claiming that if it weren't for Fan Xi's continuous counter-kills, the team that won the championship should be the Dallas Mavericks.
When they said this, they obviously had no respect for the Miami Heat.
However, thinking about it, the Miami Heat couldn't even beat the Lakers who lost Kobe, Gasol, and Bynum, how could they compete with the full-strength Mavericks?
This is probably the true meaning of everyone humiliating Miami.
