Chapter 259: The Little Duke of the City of Angels

Little Robert is 19 years old this year. He is a top student at U School, and his family lives in a rich area in Malibu, Los Angeles. The whole family are die-hard basketball fans.

According to his family composition, he should be a die-hard fan of the ULCA Bruins and the Los Angeles Lakers. In Los Angeles, middle-class families and wealthy families will choose the Lakers as their home team.

But Little Robert has the rebellion and sharpness of young people. After Fan Xi joined the Clippers, he quickly broke away from his family's will and became a die-hard Clippers fan. And he brought the Clippers jersey and Clippers logo into his villa in front of his lawyer father.

Lawyer Robert is a die-hard Lakers fan. He became a season ticket holder for the Lakers when he graduated in 1982. With the improvement of social status and wealth, his position moved from the distant stands to the VIP area.

Although he was crazy about Fan Xi last year, firmly believing that the MVP Fan Xi, who created historical miracles, would become the Lakers' new banner. But after Jean Bas traded Fan Xi to the Clippers, after about a week of struggle, he quickly calmed down and cut ties with Fan Xi.

And he often debated with his son.

"My dear son, you are already an adult. I must tell you some adult truths. This world is not what you imagine. It is not that a young genius who has just started can change everything. Many times, the platform is more important than talent. Sometimes you have achieved great achievements, often it is not your personal ability, but the importance of the platform."

"Jack achieved amazing achievements in the Lakers because he was a Lakers player..."

Lawyer Robert said earnestly. Adults always hope to use some other things to knock and educate their children, showing their authority while also showing their maturity in dealing with people.

"But, our Clippers slaughtered the Lakers in the preseason, and in the past two games, they respectively took down the Miami Heat and the Boston Celtics away." Little Robert said proudly. "This is something the Lakers didn't do."

The Clippers have been in the limelight recently, which gives Little Robert great confidence.

"You must admit that some people are born to change the world. Perhaps you need a platform, but Jack doesn't. The great Duke has already built a great team, and the league's number one center Yao will soon join. If you, a poor Lakers fan, are still watching the news."

Little Robert even mocked his father.

They always couldn't reach an agreement on this issue.

Although Little Robert followed his father's will to study law, he would inherit his father's business and become a lawyer in the future.

"If you are watching the news, you should know that your great Duke was surrounded by people with guns in Miami, and he found another Korean female star..."

"We are discussing basketball. And facts have proven that Scarlett and Jack have a very clean relationship. You Lakers fans always like this... wait and see, your fake tricks will be dismantled on Christmas!!"

Little Robert shouted excitedly: "Your number one point guard can't control Bynum at all. Before he arrived, Bynum was already a three-time champion."

Little Robert pointed directly at the pain of Lakers fans.

Lawyer Robert was very sad and called his son a rebellious son, and also emphasized: "Don't be proud, you will cry sooner or later. We will get Dwight soon. I have inside information; Dwight is the real number one center."

"Yes, Dwight rules the league's paint, Yao rules Dwight, and history will prove this point again." Little Robert was aggressive.

The two father and son broke up unhappily again.

In a Lakers fan family, such a quarrel is inevitable. Nowadays, it is not just the Robert family who is arguing in Los Angeles.

The rise of the Clippers makes more and more "harmonious families" have serious differences on basketball issues.

"Hey, brother. I support you very much, although I am very flattering to my father. But in fact, I am Jack's die-hard fan. Do you know? Jack refused more communication with Selena in the antique shop in Beverly Hills, and Taylor spread that she wanted to sing a love song with Jack... This is too exciting. You and I are the same, supporting Taylor and Jack's talented and beautiful CP, rather than supporting that hateful sweet princess stealing the Duke's forbidden love, right?"

"None of Disney's little princesses are fuel-efficient lamps."

Delis added another sentence.

She is Little Robert's younger sister, and she is a gossip fan. Since she got out of the Jonas Brothers, she has plunged into the CP of Fan Xi and Taylor Swift. She eats sugar every day. And her rival is another group of fans who eat the Little Duke x Little Princess CP.

Among young American girls, they always have infinite energy to eat melons and analyze, which is one of the sources of Fan Xi's high heat.

"I think you are not a fuel-efficient lamp either, you heretic. I support the Clippers because of Jack's ball skills, you support Jack because you want to see him and Taylor fall in love, your purpose is impure."

Little Robert was too lazy to argue with his sister about these things.

He hurried to book tickets, the tickets for Christmas.

Today is the first day of ticket sales, and the whole Los Angeles is frantically calling to grab tickets for this game. It is the hottest commodity, even a luxury item.

Just like the Super Bowl tickets, if you own one or a few, you immediately have a high-level talking point.

This is the Clippers' home court, and Clippers boss Sterling is happy. He finally experienced the box office situation of the Lakers. He cheered and jumped, even forgetting about the Mexican girl asking him for alimony: *What a greedy woman. *

However, now, this greedy woman is sitting in Jean Bas's office, and they are talking about a very important thing.

Jean Bas was dancing, very excited, her face flushed, as if she had drunk three glasses of red wine on an empty stomach.

She had just finished listening to the recording in the hands of this Mexican girl. In the recording, the Clippers boss, the famous miser in Los Angeles, actually expressed discrimination against people of color publicly and directly. His tone was quite mean, arrogant, and high above.

As an NBA team boss, once these words are released, it will inevitably cause a huge uproar. You know, this is a very politically incorrect thing, and most importantly... the NBA league is a league dominated by black players. These multi-millionaires and billionaires themselves try their best to speak for the black community.

"Sterling is finished. The Clippers are finished!"

Jean Bas said excitedly, and her more direct answer in her heart was: *Jack Fan is finished. *

If the nest is overturned, can there be any whole eggs?

Isn't the league supporting the Clippers now? The Christmas War was arranged for the Clippers' home court. Next, let's see how you end up.

Jean Bas thought happily.

Let the bullets fly for a while.

Let's see how long you can be chic. This will definitely catch the Clippers off guard.

Christmas War?

*Humph. *

After the Clippers finished their Eastern trip, they got three consecutive home games. They would stay in Los Angeles for a week.

This gave Fan Xi more time to handle some private affairs.

For example, he secretly ran to meet Selena. They met in an antique shop. They pretended to meet inadvertently, but in fact, they went to the hotel behind the antique shop, met privately for three hours, and then returned to the shop, pretending not to know each other and leaving.

Selena's popularity has been rising steadily this year. As the outside world said, none of Disney's little princesses are fuel-efficient lamps, and almost all of them are troublemakers, with constant negative news. The previous little princess Lindsay Lohan even mixed herself into a legal case.

Compared to that, Selena is a good girl.

However, she also has her troubles recently.

A young idol who became famous early is pursuing her crazily. This guy is a Canadian, became famous rapidly on YouTube, and has global popularity. He is recording his new album in Los Angeles, and he is close to Usher.

And Selena recorded a movie insert song in Usher's recording studio last week. This was their first meeting, and then the guy named Justin Bieber launched a fierce pursuit of her.

This sounds like a love story of a talented man and a beautiful woman, love at first sight.

If Fan Xi didn't exist, they could even shoot a movie.

However, Selena had long been deeply in love with Fan Xi, and she had no interest in this handsome little boy who was popular all over the world.

However, this handsome little boy was pursuing her fiercely.

He even publicly showed his love for Selena on his social web page.

This was the first male star to compete for the Duke's girl, and for a time, many onlookers and onlookers gathered. After all, Justin Bieber looked like a very competitive opponent.

Even Disney thought this pair was a real golden boy and girl.

Fan Xi didn't show the attention he should have to this matter. He was very calm.

When reporters asked him how he viewed this matter, he even asked back: "Who? Justin Timberlake? Justin Bieber? Who is he?"

Fan Xi really didn't know this young idol who was popular.

But this was interpreted as Jack Fan's arrogance by entertainment media. The media felt that this was Fan Xi deliberately ridiculing his competitor.

After all, Bieber was so popular, how could Jack Fan not know him.

However, the truth of the matter was that Fan Xi really didn't know him.

But the association ability of entertainment media was outstanding.

Fan Xi returned to the court. They faced the Golden State Warriors.

The Warriors changed their head coach Old Nelson this year. They used a brand-new lineup. And they established Stephen Curry as the core, and they played completely different basketball.

The draft was extremely optimistic about Fan Xi, hoping to select Klay Thompson to the team, and his performance was even more outstanding. This was an excellent 3D player. His defense was tough, and his feel outside the three-point line was amazing.

Stephen Curry and he teamed up to hit 22 three-pointers outside the three-point line.

This refreshed the history of Staples Center.

The Clippers actually played very well in this game, but they didn't find the feel.

Fan Xi scored repeatedly in the double-team of Wade and James in the last game, but facing the Warriors' loose defense, he kept hitting iron, 7 of 18 in the whole game.

This allowed the Warriors to seize the opportunity and finally defeated the Clippers 129:121.

The Warriors were a playoff fringe team, and many authoritative media didn't even include them in the playoff discussion list.

However, they defeated the Clippers.

The Clippers were a newly promoted strong team.

What does this mean?

It means it's very abnormal.

Plus Fan Xi's shooting percentage was so low.

Basketball media didn't say anything yet. After all, on the basketball court, anything could happen. The league has two proverbs: basketball is round, nothing is impossible. There is no weak team in the NBA.

So, this was a matter of course.

However, a group of entertainment media jumped out. They speculated on the reasons for Fan Xi's abnormal performance, and they firmly believed that the reason Fan Xi played so badly was because of Justin Bieber.

Justin Bieber brought very strong pressure to Fan Xi, because he finally met a competitor who could snatch women from his hands.

"Hollywood Daily Observer" also analyzed seriously: The Little Duke of the City of Angels is ushering in the worst period of his emotional career. First, he was forced by the police in Miami to clear his relationship with Scarlett, and now the powerful arrival of global young idol Justin Bieber makes his relationship with Selena precarious. Fan Xi is rapidly losing his status as a love hegemon. He is very likely to become a loner in the next few weeks. You know, Taylor Swift only writes songs for ex-boyfriends, and now she has started writing songs for Jack.

Fan Xi was more or less depressed.

So much so that he missed the second game of the Clippers vs. Jazz.

Because he had to promote the movie filmed in the summer. This movie completed the post-production work, and they chose to release it on Christmas.

In winter, the American film scene will become very lively.

Fan Xi didn't have high expectations for the box office of his first movie. Although Lu Yuan marked in his contract that he could get some box office dividends. Of course, his box office dividend ratio was far from as high as those superstars, but as long as the global box office exceeded 300 million US dollars, Fan Xi's dividend ratio would rise to the level of first-line stars.

The film distributor was obviously very confident in Fan Xi's appeal in Asia, and they didn't put the focus of publicity in North America.

Because North America's enthusiasm for this kind of romantic light comedy was not high at all. Especially, Fan Xi and Jennifer Aniston were slow to have chemistry, making people feel that they had no couple feeling.

However, their premiere was still arranged at the Nokia Theater. This historic theater had hosted many entertainment industry events, such as the Oscars and the Grammys.

Because of the premiere, Fan Xi missed this game.

Sterling was proud of the spring breeze, and of course, he wouldn't mind.

This miser even said he would book the venue to watch Fan Xi's movie.

It can be seen how much he likes Fan Xi.

He was a person who even calculated the living expenses of his parents.
