The Point Guard is Here

A serious person who writes a diary.

Ben Wallace is so delicate, he persisted for many years.

He developed a kind of Rottweiler-style loyalty to Van Hee, and even raised Marbury above his head because Stephen Marbury was joking with Fan Hee, because he felt that this New York kid did not respect Fan Hee enough.

To be honest, this shocked Fan Xi.

He quickly asked Rottweiler to put the pony down, but Marbury was terrified. Marbury has always claimed to be Gangstar in front of these brothers, a famous snake in New York.

However, in the face of absolute power, he still believes that the power of law suits him best.

Since then, he has not dared to play Fan Xi's joke in front of Ben Wallace.

What's interesting is that Ben Wallace won't be angry if Iverson and Fanhey make any jokes. He played basketball in Virginia for three years. The great friendship between Van Shee and Iverson has long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. Everyone feels sincere admiration for Van Shee’s persistence in Iverson at that stage, especially among the black community. .

To some extent, Fan Xi has long been an old friend of the black community. It has reached the point where the blacks will not be angry even if he says ‘that’ in his mouth.

Fan Xi’s cottage is home to several of the hottest rookies this year, so there will always be NBA general managers to report.

Greenberg and Cross of the Philadelphia 76ers are the most frequent contacts. They want to pick a point guard this year because they have enough talent in other positions.

And this year’s best point guard is Georgetown University’s Allen Iverson. He has won the NCAA since his freshman year. He has just finished his second season this year, and his talent has long been hidden. As for coach John Thompson, he has created momentum for him: If Iverson announced that he would participate in the draft in 1994 and it would be Jake who stayed in Georgetown, Iverson would still be able to do what Jake had done.

Of course, Fan Xi would not argue with Thompson on this issue. He even admitted that Iverson's personal strength and talent are far better than himself.

He also said the same when facing the general manager Cross and President Greenberg of Seven or Six.

As the youngest Finals MVP in history, he doesn't need to lie. He and Iverson have their own strengths.

Stephen Marbury is currently the only super guard who can be compared with Iverson. He has already become famous on the streets of New York when he was a teenager, and he is the best guard in that reality show other than Fan Xi. In the past freshman season, he was selected to the All-American Third Team, and then he couldn't wait to announce his participation in the draft.

Compared with Iverson, Marbury has the advantage that his barefoot height is 188, and he played very solidly in his freshman season, shooting and three-point shooting are very good, and the turnover rate is controlled by Biai Ferson is better.

Therefore, some people think Marbury would be a better point guard.

Both Greenberg and Klaus came over to ask Van Shee this question.

They asked Fan Xi: Who do you think is the purer point guard of your two best friends, just like you.

Fan Xi was a little dumbfounded at the time, to be honest.

He can't evaluate things that don't exist.

But this is related to which good friend can become the first pick, so he said honestly and perfunctorily: "They are all very good players with amazing talents. I have a high degree of friendship with them, and I have a good relationship with Iverson. I used to be teammates together and I was very comfortable working with him. I also formed a simple team with Marbury in the training camp, which was great!"

Then Van Shee was like Klaus recommending his nearest little brother Ben Wallace.

However, both Klaus and Greenberg refused because of the overcrowding of insiders.

No one would be interested in Ben Wallace, a large center who is only two meters tall and doesn't have any offensive skills to make free throws terrible.

This is especially true for the Sixers. In the past few seasons, the Sixers have lost interest in inside players. The Witherspoon drafted in 1992, Bradley drafted in 1993, and Derek Coleman in exchange for it all proved that they did not choose the vision of an insider elite.

Moreover, they are already deflated at so many high picks, why continue to invest in this kind of guy who loses at first sight?

This is what Cross and the others really think.

Moreover, in the past season, they only completed the replacement of the team owner. The former owner Harold was fed up with the title of philanthropist and could not bear the team's unscrupulous squandering of his money. He sold the team to Conca. Group.

Concas Group hopes to embark on a prosperous road with this year's No. 1 lottery.

To be honest, when he left Fan Xi's house, the seven or six had already made the final decision.

This can be seen from their shaking hands with Iverson for 28 seconds and Marbury for 15 seconds.

Although Fan Xi was very reluctant to admit it, his remarks prompted the two managers to make up their minds: Fan Xi said that he and Iverson had been teammates and had a good time with each other.

What does this show? Explain that Allen Iverson is not a selfish person. How can a selfish player get along with someone like Jake?

This is a terrible brain supplement, but also a suffocating reverse reasoning.

Human beings often make all kinds of mistakes because of their strong brain tonic ability.

Take Ben Wallace, for example.

That day, he wrote in his diary: I must work hard, I must train hard, and I must fight for Jack. Jack did his best to promote me to Philadelphia even at the cost of offending his two good brothers.

This is why Ben Wallace, the medal player, has 10 points of favor with Jake.

He set a new record.

It took less than 5 days from the first acquaintance to the despair.

…

On June 26, 1996, two weeks after the Finals, the annual NBA Draft was held in a theater in East Rutherford, New Jersey.

This year's rookies are full of talents. In addition to being called the NCAA's strongest insider Tim Duncan, who did not participate, they include the most promising and talented young people in the United States.

The youngest finals MVP in history, Fan Xi also appeared in the theater. He was a close friend of Iverson, a close brother of Stephen Marbury, Kobe Bryant's eldest brother, such as his father, and Ben Wallace's The eldest brother is here.

Perhaps because of his age, when Fan Xi walked into this theater, in addition to cheering, there were some challenging and even provocative gazes.

Many young talents here regard Fan Xi as an imaginary enemy, because they are of the same age, and the media always use words like'luck' and'lucky' when reporting on Fan Xi. This makes many young players have a kind of'if I In the same position, I can do better' inner feeling.

Take Marcus Camby, for example, he just won the 1996 John Wooden Award and he is very proud. He is recognized as the best NCAA big man outside of Duncan.

But this did not prevent him from speaking harshly to Fan Xi in front of the media: "Hey, Jack. When I enter the NBA, the first thing I do is kick your ass."

Fan Xi was so yelled by him and turned sideways at the time. He didn't intend to get used to this kid: "When you enter the NBA, you have to give me a backpack and slippers, rookie!"

Yes, although Fan Xi's age is younger than Camby, he is now a well-deserved senior.

It caused the media to laugh.

In public, Camby dared not say much. Tonight is a grand meeting, he dare not tear his face. And he was pretty sure that once he continued to say offensive sidelines, the black-faced bodyguard standing next to Fan Xi would definitely rush over and throw him to the ground, just like a rugby player.

Except Camby.

Fan Xi also saw Ray Allen from the University of Connecticut, the best long-range shooter and swingman in college basketball, averaging 47% of three-pointers per game, and the first team winner in the 95-96 season.

There is also Abdullah Rahim, the 95 McDonald's national high school lineup. He averaged 20 points and 8 rebounds in his freshman season. The two forward positions can swing from side to side.

Antoine Walker, the University of Kentucky power forward, is a super swingman who can play all five positions. If Fan Xi did not reject the Madonna National High School Competition, they would have known each other at that time.

Only now, Antoine Walker is hostile to Van Shee, he is a pretentious person.

In addition, Lorenzen White is also a very strong presence. Kyrie Kittles, who has been fighting against Ray Allen for the first NCAA shooting guard. There is also Yugoslavia striker Stojakovic, who has been a professional player for three years.

Of course, Stephen Nash, selected by Sam Bowie and Delphine, is also a good player who can be named. He is a member of the Canadian national team and a super shooter from Santa Clara University.

Fan Xi wandered in the background.

The young players to be drafted cast envy or jealousy or replaced him with eyes, but the general managers who came to the scene came to greet Fan Xi one by one.

Although Fan Xi is about the same age as these rookies, or even younger. However, there is no doubt that Fan Xi is a more sought after existence.

Elgin Baylor even sneaked Van Sheer to a corner.

He is the vice president and general manager of the Los Angeles Clippers, and he has absolute authority on signings and drafts.

Although Elgin Baylor is a famous Laker, he is very loyal to his work.

Moreover, recent rumors in the Los Angeles media made him feel unprecedented pressure. If the Lakers really form the trident combination of Fanci, Barkley, and O'Neal, then... the Clippers will never have their first day, and will become the dust of the City of Angels in the course of time.

He tried his best to prevent this from happening.

He asked Fan Xi: "Jack, do you really plan to join the Lakers and form a new super team?"

Fan Xi frowned deliberately, and he waited.

"My instinct tells me that you are not such a person." Elgin Baylor said.

Fan Xi replied: "You don't want me to join the Lakers? You are a famous Lakers."

"Of course, Jack. You know, I'm working for the Clippers now. If you join the Lakers, we're done..." Baylor said frustratedly.

Originally, the Clippers were extremely weak in Los Angeles. If the Lakers were to form the Galaxy Fleet... the situation would be unimaginable.

Seeing that Elgin Baylor was full of real fear, Fan Xi joked with him and said: "If you don't want me to join the Lakers, then you have to promise me one thing."

"What's the matter?" Elgin Baylor asked quickly.

"Pick him." Fan Xi pointed to Ben Wallace behind him.

This moved Ben Wallace badly. He quickly took Van Hee's hand: "Jack, no, no. How could you give up such a good future for me? Joining the Lakers is what many players dream of. , Not to mention forming a super strong team with O'Neal..."

Fan Xi stretched out his hand to stop Ben Wallace's moving catharsis.

He looked at Elgin Baylor.

Baylor hesitated for less than three seconds.

Although it is a bit tricky to do so, I have never inspected this player. But... the Clippers have three draft picks this year, using a second-round pick to pick a promise not to let Van Hee join the Lakers.

No matter how it is earned.

He couldn't wait to stretch out his hand and said to Fan Xi: "I will keep my promise."

Fan Xi didn't expect Baylor to be so decisive, but he still stretched out his hand.

This kind of courage made him unexpected.

Then, Elgin Baylor shook hands with Ben Wallace and said: Welcome to the Los Angeles Clippers.

At the same time, he didn't even know Ben Wallace's name.

Ben Wallace hurriedly introduced himself and gave out his Virginia statistics. His sincerity and enthusiasm left a deep impression on Elgin Baylor.

It just so happens that the Clippers do lack insiders.

Why not give this guy a chance? I can also take the opportunity to have a good relationship with little Jack.

…

The draft is about to begin, with Fan Xi and Ben Wallace sitting on the narrow bench behind. He had the opportunity to sit at the small round table in front... Whether it was Iverson or Marbury, even Kobe got the chance of a "green house".

But Fan Xi did not go like this.

He didn't want to show his face.

But this subtle move gave Ben Wallace an unprecedented feeling, and he almost cried again.

In his diary, Fan Xi even surpassed his father.

He wrote...Jack gave up too much for me, he was like a messenger sent by God to save me. If I have a chance, I am willing to put a bullet in his crotch. If my body allows, two or three bullets are fine...

If Fan Xi knew about Ben Wallace's rich inner drama, he might cry without tears.

Because... joining the Lakers itself is not within the scope of his plan.

David Stern looked very happy tonight.

He stepped onto the stage and soon announced the ownership of the first pick in the first round. Philadelphia used their draft pick to pick Allen Iverson.

Allen Iverson became the first point guard to win the No. 1 pick since Magic Johnson and the smallest point guard in the history of the NBA.

Alan Iverson could hardly conceal his excitement. After embracing his mother, sister, grandma, wife, and daughter, he deliberately walked to the end to find Fan Xi and hugged Fan Xi tightly.

"Jack, our dream has come true."

"Our time has come!"

Iverson said affectionately and confidently.
