Chapter 92 091: [The Last Puzzle of New York] First Change

Life is like a bare sow shelf.

Fan Le raised his middle finger to the Indianapolis audience who were booing his nephew behind him. He had a very smug pleasure on his face: No matter how loud your boos and doubts are, nothing will change.It's like... he likes that Mexican girl shouting no more under him, but he is always chug happy.

Vanhey shakes hands with David Stern on stage.

At that moment, he didn't think of Wang Xiaobo's famous words like his uncle did.

The boos from the auditorium, the surprise from the audience, the bewildered shaking of the media camera...all constitute the exaggerated elements of the most important scene in his life.

David Stern's little face is up close and personal.

When he used to watch the draft in front of the TV, he was always worried that David Stern would be crushed by those giants.

Now, he found that David Stern, an elegant white man, was far more powerful than he had imagined.

"Congratulations, Hamburger. You have joined one of the most watched teams in the league. Congratulations on a wonderful career."

It took David Stern 26 seconds to strike up a conversation with Vanhey.

Fan Xi expressed his thanks, and then walked to the audience under the guidance of the staff.

Next, David Stern will announce the tenth pick, the No.11 pick... .

However, for the audience and the media, it seems that it is not so important.

The tranquility of the night was shattered by Vanhey being selected with the ninth overall pick, a jaw-dropping result.Before that, most of the fans believed that Fan Xi would lose the election.

But now, this little guy who has just turned 17 has actually become a professional player, and he has entered the lottery as the ninth pick, and he has joined the Madison Square Garden in New York, which has the most spotlight in the league.

The last high school student player dates back to 1989.The amazingly talented Sean Kemp was only selected with the No.17 pick in the first round. How can Jack Fan become a lottery pick?

"New York made the most stupid draft ever. They sent Anthony Bonner, who had a good performance last season, and the first-round picks in 1995 and 1996, just to get a 17-year-old, thin, and unproven high school Asian guard?"

The pundits at the TV station couldn't wait to open Dave Chertz's critique session. "I can guarantee that once the Knicks board realizes how stupid this behavior is, they will definitely refuse to sign this high school guard."

"It's a scam."

The commentators on TV randomly fired at Fan Xi on TV. They didn't care about the bad influence that their influence in the media would have on this 17-year-old kid, and they didn't think that many TV viewers had deep prejudice against Fan Xi because of his speeches because they didn't understand Fan Xi at all.

This is the arrogance of those who have the right to speak.

Fan Xi sat opposite the reporter from the CBS TV station.

This beautiful reporter named Catherine just interviewed 8 rookies selected, and when it was Fan Xi's turn, she showed surprise that could not be concealed.

She didn't even have an outline of questions ready.

"Are you surprised by tonight's results? The New York Knicks traded Boston's pick, took you with the ninth pick, and you became the youngest player in the history of the NBA. If there were no surprises, you would be a million dollars Rich man, you will face the confrontation of adults, and you will enter the vanity fair of professional sports, are you ready for these?" Catherine asked Fan Xie.

In her words, she somewhat regarded the immature Fan Xi as a little brother.

"First of all, I am very grateful to the New York Knicks for trusting me. Secondly, I will work hard to integrate into the adult world and show my talent in the professional arena."

Fan Xi said to Catherine.

He is very calm.

This kind of calm is not a pretended calm, but a kind of substantial determination.

Catherine was a little surprised.

Then, she said: "The New York Knicks have been the Eastern Conference champions for two consecutive years. Do you think your addition can make the New York Knicks go one step further?"

"This is my goal. I believe this is also the reason why New York chose me." Fan Xi still answered sincerely.

This confident interview changed the impression of many viewers in front of the TV. The 17-year-old Fan Xi was the calmest among the top nine rookies, and he spoke very freely.

In terms of interviews alone, he and Grant Hill are two of the best.

Some New York fans in front of the TV began to have a little expectation.

What if... this kid really came out?
If something goes wrong, there must be a monster. Since the team chose this high school point guard at the risk of the world, he must have some advantages.

As Eddie Jones, the No. [-] rookie selected by the Lakers, walked over, Vanhee finished the brief interview and went backstage.

……

Fan Xi was absent from the group photo session of the lottery rookies thereafter.

This is a decision made by Sam Powell, who thinks that many issues in the media are too sharp, and he doesn't like the media's aggressiveness of distrust.

So, he left with Fan Xi.

His strength left a deep impression on the reporters.

Even though Fan Xie did not participate in the group photo session of the lottery rookies, Fan Xie was still the focus of discussion.

When the new top pick Glenn Robinson was asked separately who would be your biggest opponent in the new season, this guy blurted out: Jack Fan!

Maybe his father was talking too much in his ears, maybe it was Fan Xie's selection as the ninth pick that ignited public opinion.

Anyway, when he said the name, the reporters were surprised first, and then laughed.

They thought Glenn Robinson was satirizing Jack Van.

The same thing happened to Jason Kidd.

Jason Kidd was asked which rookie he was most looking forward to playing against in the new season, and his answer blurted out: Jack Fan.

Iverson also had a quarrel with his agent because he was caught by Jack Fan's friend Stephen Marbury and applied for a one-on-one match.Therefore, when the reporter asked about the matchup, he naturally thought of Fan Xi.

The media still laughed it off.

No seriousness.

"I'm very happy that Jack Jr. was selected with the ninth overall pick. I played against him. I know his energy. Although he looks small, he is like a windproof lighter. He can light everything."

Grant Hill gave Fan Xi a high evaluation.

He still remembers Vansee's game against Duke with Kentucky.

Therefore, he believes that Fanhee can bring new changes to the mighty Knicks.

Don Yell Marshall also praised Fanhee. He also quoted the head coach of the University of Connecticut: "Before I declared for the draft, my coach told me: 'If we get Jack Fan, you have to not participate in the NBA draft. Because of Jack Jr., Ray Allen and you, Connecticut will definitely become the NCAA championship.'"

These voices are increasing Fan Xi's energy in the field of public opinion.

His limelight irresistibly surpassed the new No. 17 pick Glenn Robinson. Overnight, people may not have figured out who the No. [-] pick this year is, but they must remember that the No. [-] pick is Jack Fan!The Hamburg teenager who just turned [-].

……

New York fans are no strangers to Fanhee. Fanhee's reputation in New York State has always been good, and the headquarters of American Cable TV is in New York.

When Fan Xie was selected by the New York Knicks, many housewives cheered. They didn't care whether the team paid enough, and they didn't care whether Fan Xie's strength could play in the NBA.

They only know that their 'Fan Bao' is here.

Interestingly, die-hard Knicks fans didn't even have much objection.

The Knicks in the 90s were a strong team, and the tolerance of the fans of the strong team was far from that of the weak teams.Because the strong team has a high fault tolerance rate.

With the strength of the Knicks Eastern Conference champion, the draft picks sent out are not worth much.

Most importantly, Jack Fan is someone they know very well.

In the decisive battle with the Chicago Bulls in 93, the problem of the point guard line raised by Van Heede really hit the Knicks' dead spot, leading to the Chicago Bulls' easy victory in that series.

This year, the Knicks battled Houston's Tianwangshan.Fan Hee communicated with Starks on the spot, allowing Starks to complete a superb performance.This is also fresh in the memory of die-hard fans.

Therefore, they are all looking forward to it, what if Van Heedy really becomes the last piece of the puzzle for the Knicks to win the championship?

After all, the Knicks lost in the finals last season because of the point guard.

The two guards Starks and Derek Harper blew themselves up.

I hope this young high school guard can become a tranquilizer on the guard line, and don't stage any more legendary three-pointers who made 18 of 2 shots in the Finals.

……

Finals culprit Starks was the first Knicks player to greet Vanheede on TV.

The guard, who blew himself up in the last two games of last season's finals, is still on TV. He asked an MTV reporter to film his mansion in Long Island, New York.Then he talked about Fan Xie’s views on joining the Knicks on the show: “I will take care of him. He can say now that he is my little brother. If he doesn’t have a house, he can even come to live in my house.”

Starks said generously, pointing to his mansion.

Meanwhile, Patrick Ewing is expressing concern: The team's guard line is too crowded.I thought they were going to pick a backup center.

Ewing is the undisputed leader of the Knicks.He said this to blame the management for selecting two point guards and a power forward in the draft.

He believes that the team should have a coolie center to share his burden.

Because of Patrick's long-term injuries and Pat Riley's devilish training, he doesn't like to appear in the 5th position anymore, even though he is one of the four major centers. (Worthy of note: At least two of the Big Four played power forward later in their careers.)
The New York Knicks took three shots in the draft this year.

In addition to the ninth overall pick Fan Xi.

He also selected Monty Williams with the No. 20 fourth pick and Charlie Ward with the No. 20 sixth pick.

Coincidentally, both of them are acquaintances.
