Chapter 29: Real - Chosen One - Fan Xi

Fan Xi and the girl inside reached a consensus, and finally, the girl opened the door a little bit from the inside, and then Fan Xi passed the paper in.

This awkward matter was finally resolved satisfactorily; Fan Xi felt heartfelt embarrassment, so much so that he kept his eyes closed and waited outside for the girl inside to come out, and then he would go in.

Tai Lei Si Wu Fu Te inside was the same.

As the popular female singer whose popularity speed was the fastest in the last ten years, and whose record sales were close to the last global idol Britney Spears. She never dreamed that she would have such a grounded day.

That damn Selena.

She complained 'viciously' in the washroom. If it weren't for Selena dragging herself to attend this whatever party, this wouldn't have happened at all. Also, what the hell is that damn guy doing, why doesn't he answer the phone, and doesn't reply to the message.

Tai Lei Si Wu Fu Te cursed a few times in the washroom.

Then, she came out of the washroom.

Found Fan Xi leaning against the wall on the left hand side, and still closing his eyes.

She was suddenly incomparably awkward, but, as she saw Fan Xi's handsome face, this kind of awkwardness and discomfort turned into another kind of complex emotion.

Women are all like this, emotional, and have no resistance to beautiful things.

Female artists are especially like this, even more sensitive and delicate.

If Fan Xi was an ugly man, or a guy who was oily and smooth like Devin Harris, Tai Lei Si Wu Fu Te would think this was an awkward and terrible memory.

Now, she felt in her heart... as Fan Xi's handsome face changed... she began to feel... this might be a wonderful encounter arranged by God.

Looks very tall, very fair, very handsome...

Fan Xi opened his eyes and found Tai Lei Si Wu Fu Te was staring at him intently.

He was subconsciously a bit at a loss; anyone would be like this when being 'scrutinized' by others. He hurriedly explained: "I really didn't see anything, I was definitely not on purpose."

Fan Xi's 'indefensible' appearance looked extremely cute in Tai Lei Si Wu Fu Te's eyes at this moment; she liked this kind of shy, at-a-loss feeling, and he was still a handsome and tall boy... even in the United States, there weren't many boys who could give Tai Lei Si Wu Fu Te this kind of 'cutest height difference' in height.

Tai Lei Si Wu Fu Te had a height of 179.

"I am not a woman who pretends to be reserved; this is just a misunderstanding, you don't need to be nervous."

Tai Lei Si Wu Fu Te smiled and reached out to Fan Xi: "Hello, my name is Tai Lei Si Wu Fu Te, although it is a pity to know you in this way. But maybe this is a chance encounter arranged by God?"

This name made Fan Xi feel familiar.

But Tai Lei Si Wu Fu Te's heartiness indeed infected him, and he reached out and shook hands with Tai Lei Si Wu Fu Te.

"My name is Jack."

Fan Xi introduced himself simply.

Then, he made a gesture of wanting to go in.

Tai Lei Si Wu Fu Te chased his back and asked: "Are you an actor or a model in the entertainment circle? Will we meet again?"

"I came here with a friend. If there is fate, we will definitely meet again."

Fan Xi replied, and then closed the washroom door; this time... he alertly locked the door.

When Fan Xi was cleaning the traces in the washroom, his renewal contract was already flying all over the world... the development of the internet increased the speed of information dissemination.

Although the world had 24 time zones, information was common to the entire internet and media at the moment of publication.

And this contract was too amazing.

23.5 million US dollars for 2 years.

What is this concept?

Devin Harris, who provoked Fan Xi in front of Fan Xi before, although he was known as the absolute core and leader of the Nets, he had only received 28 million US dollars so far in his career... this was already his seventh year in the NBA.

His salary this year was 8.98 million US dollars.

In contrast, Fan Xi's starting salary in the first year had already exceeded 11 million US dollars.

This was the rookie with the highest starting salary in NBA history.

Superstars like Michael Jordan, Kobe Bryant, Le Bu Lang Zhang Si, and Shaquille O'Neal who left famous names in history hadn't enjoyed this treatment.

But now, the League announced that this contract officially took effect, and conducted a full-platform announcement.

"Jack is not a rookie, he is an undrafted player; strictly speaking, he is a free agent."

Ku Pu Qie Ke spoke for Fan Xi on the social platform for the first time.

But soon this information was overwhelmed by some basketball experts and commentators.

The NBA was a very top-tier league, building an extremely huge system. It also supported many professionals who relied on analyzing basketball and discussing stars. These people were either called basketball commentators, or basketball experts, and those at a higher level would go to major TV stations in the United States to explain (most of them were retired players with good eloquence and program effects).

"The Lakers are breaking the rules; they like doing things that break the rules the most. The whole world knows that Fan is not worth this price; if he really had amazing talent, he wouldn't have been undrafted. The Lakers, for the sake of the championship, will bury their reputation for so many years; this is a garbage contract."

Bill Simmons was one of the most famous pen-pushers in the basketball circle; his articles were often pushed to a very high position. And his comments on players and teams would directly affect a large number of fans, and even have a real impact on the player. If he hated a player, he would constantly amplify the player's shortcomings, and under his persistent 'propaganda', fans who didn't watch the game would form a superficial established impression.

"As a New York fan, I am very glad that this contract wasn't offered by the Knicks. We are really glad that it is not Isiah Thomas who is in charge of the club now, otherwise, in the manufacture of garbage contracts, we would definitely not lose to the Los Angeles Lakers."

Steve A. Smith was a very famous ball commentator in New York City; he had debuted for 20 years, starting from the most basic newspaper ball commentary, and now he could have his own 'sharp commentary' channel on a famous sports channel in the United States, so he could be considered an authority in the ball commentary circle.

And Earl Johnson.

He was the ace basketball host of TNT TV station, and the TNT commentary team he formed with Kenny Smith, Charles Barkley, and Reggie Miller had always been a guarantee of ratings.

He had always been considered an image of uprightness.

However, when this contract came out, he still inevitably poured a basin of cold water: "Although I am happy to see Charles Barkley kneel down and shout 'Jack is the basketball god', this contract is too unreal. Fan is an undrafted player, he only played three games, although they were all excellent, although the Lakers indeed lack a new force."

"However... 23.5 million US dollars for 2 years, this is too amazing. You know that under the new collective bargaining agreement, the salary Fan got in two years is already higher than the salary a lottery pick got in four years. Many All-Star players don't get a starting salary higher than 11 million US dollars when the second contract starts."

"I believe the League will definitely have many players feeling offended, and they will definitely have some expressions toward Fan. The Lakers are pushing Fan to the cusp of the storm."

Earl Johnson's first comment also influenced many people.

These authoritative discussions increased the intensity of the fans' discussion; although the fans didn't quite understand the mystery of the NBA contract.

But after the popularization of these authorities, they finally understood: Jack did something unprecedented. He became the first undrafted player in the NBA to get an eight-figure starting salary.

This is too dreamy!

The onlookers exclaimed one after another.

This is simply carrying the 'counterattack' to the end.

Originally, Fan Xi carried the image of 'counterattack'. Now, this contract pushed him to the climax.

Globally, everyone knew that a 'miracle' was born.

This was also the reason why the reactions of authoritative experts, NBA insiders, and ordinary fans and melon-eating crowds were completely opposite.

Those authoritative experts and insiders thought it might break the rules.

But outsiders watched the fun; it was an unprecedented miracle.

This was a blessing for Fan Xi's image, and a shot in the arm for his commercial prospects.

Everyone knew that Fan Xi was a 'different' person, and even a person chosen by God.

Why is Zhu Yuanzhang so talked about, because he started with a bowl.

Now Fan Xi's situation is also like this; the NBA can't find anyone with a lower starting point than Fan Xi, but now he has signed a super contract that even the basketball god Michael Jordan hasn't signed.

Can the influence not explode?

Devin Harris, who was humiliated, stepped on the accelerator and sped all the way home; his resentment finally dissipated a bit in the continuous speeding.

So, he lay on the sofa and turned on the TV, wanting to watch some news to relax.

As a result.

"Breaking news!"

"Lakers announce signing undrafted player Fan Xi for 23.5 million US dollars for 2 years."

When the ESPN sports anchor read this news in a slightly surprised tone, Devin Harris was like a funeral.

As if a thunderbolt exploded in his brain.

He couldn't believe the news broadcast on TV: Why? Why?

He rushed upstairs, logged into his computer, and found that all sports websites were discussing this news.

In the discussion board, he saw the most conspicuous post was: Jack should be the chosen one of the NBA, right? His career is simply too dreamy; killing out from an undrafted player, killing the Golden State Warriors in the first game, killing Derek Rose in the second game, suppressing the number one draft pick John Wall in the third game... now, he actually signed an unprecedented super contract.

Most of the replies below were congratulations.

And claimed: I seem to see a superstar rising.

I have already substituted myself.

I often have such dreams.

Dreams come true.

Hollywood movies don't dare to act like this.

I want to vote for Jack; I heard that one million votes can see him rush into the All-Star game.

Hurry up and vote. You vote, I vote, Jack can debut as an All-Star.

Long live Jack!

Jack All-Star!!

Devin Harris looked at the full screen of cheers, and his body was almost paralyzed.

Before, he belittled Fan Xi to the dust.

Didn't expect that in the blink of an eye, this guy he looked down upon actually signed an eight-figure annual salary that he hadn't even taken, and it was still a starting salary.

And, these fans were still making a fuss, still frantically chasing their miracle teenager, still saying that Jack was the chosen one where dreams come true, and still saying they wanted to send Jack into the All-Star game.

My God, I haven't even been selected for the All-Star game.

Why?

Why does Selena like him, why does he get an eight-figure annual salary, why is he sought after by the public, why can he enter the All-Star game, why does he occupy all the good things in the world.

Devin Harris was indignant.

He grabbed his hair and roared hysterically twice, and punched the air fiercely a few times.

But in the end, he was unwilling!

He rushed to the computer and opened his social page.

Under the control of extreme jealousy and hatred, he typed a line of text: Just wait and see, I will make this so-called chosen one pay the price in the next game. Welcome everyone to watch Nets VS Lakers, I will tell everyone how garbage contracts are produced!!

After typing this paragraph.

Before five minutes, there were hundreds of likes.

They were all people who watched the fun and didn't think it was a big deal; they kept inciting him below: Devin, come on!

"We want to see what else the chosen one can do?"

"Come on, Harris. Use all your strength."

"I think Jack can make Devin Harris lose his reputation in five minutes!"

"Another stupid human who challenges the incarnation of miracles!"

"I seem to see a tragedy being staged..."

"..."

The comments left under Devin Harris were basically remarks supporting Fan Xi, although this might also be another kind of reverse stimulation.

Harris was extremely angry anyway.

He hurriedly sent another one: Just wait and see!!

Then, he received a call from his agent.

His agent told him on the phone: "Harris, you should hurry up and train now. The eyes of the whole world will be locked on you the night after tomorrow, I hope you really perform well. If you can't beat Fan, then Fan's fame will go up another level; I have heard that many commercial brands can't wait to hand out olive branches to him."

"Don't ever let him really become the so-called chosen one, otherwise, the commercial benefits he will obtain are unimaginable to you. He is already a phenomenal player."

The agent taught him earnestly on the phone.

But his tone couldn't hide his desire to sign Fan Xi; as long as Fan Xi continued to improve, his commercial value really had a chance to reach the TOP level, just like Kobe Bryant and Le Bu Lang Zhang Si.

Which agent wouldn't covet such a player?

These words had a strong influence on Devin Harris; he couldn't wait to run to watch and study Fan Xi's game tapes; he wanted to study Fan Xi thoroughly, and then destroy this so-called chosen one.

In this way, he could become the new chosen one.

Devin Harris made such a plan in his heart.

And he carefully studied the game tapes of Fan Xi's last game; through continuous slow-motion detail playback, he finally saw some of Fan Xi's weaknesses.

Then, he laughed out loud!!

Jack Fan, you are dead!

Your woman, your fame, your commercial value, will all become mine!!

Hahahaha!

Devin Harris was like a madman.
