Chapter 657: LeBron James Lü Bu Traded

Durant was disappointed; James didn't bring up brother basketball or anything like that with Fan Xi, but instead asked Fan Xi where he was going on vacation this summer, saying they could all hang out together or something.

After hearing this, Durant felt disappointed, regretful, and puzzled.

Why doesn't he go to Jie Ke? Why doesn't he cling to a thigh?

Durant really wished James would come be his third brother.

Although James is the oldest, isn't my age also older than Jie Ke's? In basketball, the able go first!

I am currently second in the league.

Kevin Durant again emphasized this in front of reporters, boldly telling NBA 2K17: "If my ability rating isn't second in the league, then your game has no playability."

Durant said this loudly, because he is the spokesperson for 2K17.

This also counts as advertising the game.

Jie Ke is undoubtedly first; whether LeBron can steadily be third depends on his performance this new season, and Derrick and Leonard are also pretty fierce.

Durant chatted freely in front of the reporters.

This 16-game winning streak championship came because we tightly united around MVP, on the court we looked up to him, off the court we learned from him. He is an invincible super leader, always able to go from one victory to another.

We didn't create history; we are history.

We always say Jie Ke is the greatest, but he says: teammates are the greatest. He is the best basketball player in the world, the best basketball player of all time. Although Michael is very strong, his era has passed. If I were placed in the 80s or 90s, I would dare to cross swords with Jordan. If Jordan were placed in the present, would he dare to cross swords with me… and Jie Ke?

We don't knock out his feces; we consider his bowel movement clean.

Kevin Durant held a glass of red wine, letting himself go in front of the reporters. He really got carried away talking. This guy lacks a filter; when reporters say something pleasant, he just keeps spilling beans like a bamboo tube pouring out beans.

I don't even know where I'll go next season; if Jie Ke goes to a team I like, I have no reason not to follow, I am a completely free agent. Durant then said: "Winning one championship feels great; winning two would be even cooler."

Any team that has both me and Jie Ke at the same time will win a championship, even if they are worse than the Knicks of the zero‑something years.

Durant was about to say more, but Jokic pulled him away from the side.

Jokic doesn't want this guy to keep blabbering; today he talked too big, someday he'll have to go online and argue with trolls about how many lines.

Compared to Durant's uninhibitedness, Fan Xi is much calmer.

After all, tonight is Durant's first time.

But it's Fan Xi's sixth time—not two, not three, not four, not five, but six, wow. How bold.

I'm used to it.

When Fan Xi was asked how it felt to win the championship, his bland remark became the headline of many media outlets the next day.

Afterward, reporters inevitably had to ask Fan Xi how it felt to tie Jordan with six championships.

JR Smith grabbed the microphone and said: "Stop using Jordan to hype yourself up; Jie Ke is the GOAT, they are fundamentally different. Jie Ke's six straight championships are like simultaneously and consecutively handling six women; Michael's two three‑peats are weak as hell, he took such a long break in between—who knows if he took drugs."

JR Smith is very rude.

But his words are rough while his reasoning is not.

Nobody can say that Jordan's six championships are greater than Fan Xi's six championships.

Before Jordan won championships, he did all that foreplay.

Fan Xi, however, just gets straight to it; a real man never plays around with frilly stuff. Starting from his rookie season, he has continuously won championships and taken Finals MVP. Changing three teams couldn't stop his championship streak. From West to East, from East back to West, wherever he goes he sweeps all!

This is true dominance.

JR is right.

Fan Xi agreed with JR Smith's viewpoint, which made the reporters all erupt.

Sure enough, the next day, the media all reported this news.

But this time, no one thought Fan Xi wasn't the GOAT, nor did anyone think Fan Xi had not surpassed Jordan.

This is a fact laid out on the table.

…

The Kuaisuan won the championship again.

The Kuaisuan held another victory parade.

This seems to have become Los Angeles' annual reserved program.

But from the moment the Finals ended, the media began to anticipate which Eastern team would pick up Fan Xi next.

In terms of probability, New York is the highest.

Because they only won 15 games last season, they lost very seriously, and their determination to tank was unprecedented.

James Dolan proudly said on TV: "I'm not interested in the draft pick, but I am very interested in Fan Xi."

The Knicks got the 2016 draft pick; if they also got Fan Xi, that would be limitless potential, after all their team still has a 221‑cm Bo Shen.

If Durant really just runs over there to keep teaming up with Fan Xi.

That would be like recreating the Kuaisuan, a new and winning streak!

No wonder the Knicks are so pleased lately; the Knicks fans' tails are perked up to the sky, just like their boss.

James Dolan even proposed: if Jieke Fan joins New York, the Knicks will hold a fan music festival, with season‑ticket holders getting free admission.

Originally Dolan was rich and powerful, but New York fans have even more money; season tickets were instantly snapped up.

People are confident about Fan Xi returning to New York; after all, the Knicks have a 22.5% chance, which is nine percentage points higher than the second place.

Fan Xi doesn't care where he will go.

He was spotted playing with four kids at Orlando Disney Land, making people wonder where those kids came from.

Nobody dared to imagine that Fan Xi is already the father of five boys… no, six boys. How bold.

Jessica gave birth to Fan Xi's six sons in Korea.

Fan Xi, as a dad, has become numb to it.

Especially after playing at Disney, Fan Xi feels that being a dad is truly not an easy job.

He really hopes the season starts soon.

NBA season for Fan Xi is like an aunt; for men, before marriage, the aunt is an obstacle; after marriage, the aunt is a perfect protective umbrella, a closed fishing season!

Fan Xi, in the name of caring for basketball, opened training camps everywhere; he tried to bring his second, third, fourth, and fifth sons to the court, but he was very disappointed—these guys don't like basketball.

The second son likes watching girls play volleyball.

The third son likes watching rugby matches.

The fourth son likes table tennis.

The fifth son likes watching badminton.

Not a single one likes basketball.

Fan Xi felt miserable; that bastard Kobe Bryant's words came true. I have six sons, five of whom don't like basketball—could it really be that I can't become a basketball second generation?

Kobe Bryant often called Fan Xi over to coach Jieke Sen.

Coaching a little chick, huh.

Fan Xi complained while pointing out Jieke Sen's passing skills; he didn't want Jieke Sen to be like his father, that lone prick.

In this regard, Jieke Sen is still like Fan Xi. He is willing to share ball possession and also likes seeing teammates score from opportunities he creates.

Kobe Bryant felt puzzled: why doesn't his son follow me, but follow Uncle Jie Ke?

Fan Xi gave him an annoyed look: just be content. My five sons don't even touch basketball.

Time quickly came to June; the New York Knicks called Fan Xi, asking which rookie he should pick. This year Ben Simmons has the highest hype, being called the next Le Bu Lang Zhang Si, and it's even said his technique is better than James's.

But Fan Xi isn't fond of James.

The first-generation James were all made to cry and run home to find their mom by their own play; could a second generation possibly blow flowers?

Fan Xi also didn't know how to choose. He said: 'Why not trade the No. 1 pick for two lottery picks?'

Fan Xi, this is a rotten idea, breaking the whole into parts.

But Zhan Mu Si Duo Lan had no hesitation; he didn't even think it over, directly trading away the No. 1 pick.

Even Fan Xi had to give a thumbs up, praising: 'Dolan brother, you're so righteous!'

June 5th, the lottery results came out.

The league didn't pull any shady tricks.

The New York Knicks rightfully obtained, with the highest probability, the one-year usage rights to Fan Xi.

And Kevin Durant didn't hold back either; that same day he announced he would bring his talent to New York!

What are New York fans standing around for? Celebrate the New Year! Directly! Immediately! Right now!

What is called rejoicing heaven and earth?

This damn thing is called rejoicing heaven and earth.

Porzingis, Durant the second, plus the GOAT, plus two lottery picks, the 7th and 11th picks.

Next season, will the New York Knicks directly take off, going from last to first?

At this time, many complaints arose within the league.

They say this is damn too 'gan', the Knicks intentionally tank, who can compete with them? They lose every game, pay luxury tax, tickets still sell at high prices, each year they make a fortune. How dare small teams play like them?

'Simply just fix sending Jieke Fan to New York every two years.'

The Brooklyn Nets are complaining.

Zhan Mu Si Duo Lan hurriedly patted them on the back: 'Good, good, really a good idea. Distant relatives are not as good as neighbors.'

Upon hearing this, the Nets boss wished he could blast Dolan to death.

But in this New York plot of land, Zhan Mu Si Duo Lan is the local tyrant.

Fan Xi arrived in his loyal New York on June 28, and he and the Knicks signed a max contract. This is the rule.

No need to go through any other procedures.

Fan Xi Clause overrides everything.

Then, at the draft, Fan Xi sat in the Knicks' war room. Zhan Mu Si Duo Lan treated Fan Xi well, so Fan Xi returned the favor.

He strictly vetted rookies for Dolan, and ultimately, based on the Knicks' current roster, he used the 7th pick to select little Sabonis, a European big man, and together with Porzingis formed a European alliance; his technique complements Porzingis's.

With the 11th pick, Fan Xi hesitated for a long time, eventually choosing Dejounte Murray.

7-11, a great inside-outside combo.

After Fan Xi finished picking, he told Zhan Mu Si Duo Lan: 'Even if we leave the Knicks later, the Knicks will have a strong team structure; in the East they can sweep aside opposition, not worse than the 1990s.'

Dolan was overjoyed.

Because the Knicks' draft was overseen by Fan Xi, these two rookies received unprecedented attention, and they are both believed to have bright futures.

But actually, Fan Xi still liked many other players in this draft.

Just that they aren't very suitable for the Knicks.

Before the season started, the Knicks' main lineup was actually clear: Porzingis, little Sabonis, Durant, Murray, Fan Xi.

Talent certainly needs no mention, especially offensive ability, which is absolutely not worse than last season's Kuaisuan.

Now we just look at the bench.

The Knicks' current roster can be described as destitute and bare; why? Because last season the Knicks almost exclusively used various temporary players.

Originally, those veterans who followed Fan Xi either retired or were traded; basically no one remained.

This is a test for the Knicks next season, and the opponent is also a test. Because he must rebuild team chemistry, quickly establish it, then launch a championship charge in one season.

For Fan Xi today, he is already a true GOAT; everyone's demand of him is just one: win the championship.

If Fan Xi doesn't win the championship, those hidden critics will jump out and shout at him: 'Look, his era is over.'

Moreover, a small bunch of people who don't understand basketball are shouting that Fan Xi hasn't fully surpassed Jordan, at least Jordan's championship count equals Fan Xi's.

Six equals six.

For these people, even Jordan wouldn't know whether they're praising him or trashing him.

I have already prepared to win the championship in New York. New York fans, your second-in-command has arrived!

After the draft conference, Kevin Durant came to New York, proudly announcing that he would join New York as a free agent. New York gave him a one-year max contract.

This was Durant's own request.

As for his decision, everyone was no longer surprised; they had even guessed it long ago.

Just as he himself said, the first time defecting, people would be surprised; the second time, they would get used to it. By the third time… even before he defects, everyone would already be anticipating it.

People, after all, can be shaped.

Durant announced that he would join the Knicks.

Meanwhile, Cleveland also broke explosive news, with Kyrie Irving and Andrew Wiggins joining forces to pressure the management: keep us or keep James!

Actually, Bennett also participated.

But no one took Bennett seriously. Although saying three No. 1 picks pressuring another No. 1 pick sounds better, and can even make up a 'San Ying Zhan Lü Bu'.

But he simply doesn't exist; the news automatically filters him out.

Le Bu Lang Zhang Si-Lü Bu-James probably also didn't expect himself to be so openly pressuring the management; at that time he was swimming on a tropical island.

At the moment he heard the news, his mood was colder than enduring winter.

Furthermore, his agent told him: Cleveland had not made a decision; they were hesitant.

This made James very disappointed.

For him, hesitation already made him very sad.

After all, since he debuted, he has always been the first choice, without question. Now returning to his hometown, he is actually being pressured by two rising stars, and yet the team doesn't even drive them away.

Is this not treating me as Heaven's Chosen Son?

Could they really still drive me out of my own home??

They can!

The tail end of July is Leo.

The self-proclaimed Lion King, Le Bu Lang Zhang Si, was traded!
