Two Hundred and Twenty Eighth: Jack's Summer

The Knicks held a championship reception, inviting New York City socialites, team shareholders, and small shareholders of the Madison Garden Arena to participate and share the glory of the entire city.

This is the way of socializing for a superteam like the Knicks, and it is of great benefit for players to enter the upper class.

Therefore, players are specifically required to wear suits to participate.

For Fan Xi, this is not a problem. He is very polite in this regard.

However, it is a challenge for guys like Oakley, Mason, Ewing and even Starks. They don't like the catering of the upper class, nor do they yearn for a higher level of social interaction. I prefer to spend my time drinking, gambling, picking up girls, and throwing money at nightclubs with cash machines.

Players in the 90s had a strong grassroots atmosphere, even though they had started to make a lot of money.

It is completely different from the NBA stars twenty years later...The stars twenty years later will basically do all kinds of investment and financial management, and even establish friendly relationships with top talents in various fields in order to exchange resources.

This is inseparable from the development of the times, and is also closely related to these "lessons learned from the past". After entering the new century, the league saw more and more stars leave the NBA and go bankrupt, and introduced a series of measures. For example, let the players pay part of their wages for insurance when they are still playing, and they can lead a fixed income after retirement. For example, immediately after the draft, intensive training for rookies will be conducted, in order to let these habitually hot-headed black people learn to save.

Fan Xi didn't need to worry about this.

He earned so much money that he only bought a house for himself, and saved all the other money there, and didn't spend a penny indiscriminately.

The experience of being poor since he was a child made him squeeze toothpaste to the point where he could no longer squeeze it. The first time he drank yogurt was to lick the lid.

After confirming the itinerary with the PR manager, Fan Xi went to take the driver's license test together with Marbury and Garnett.

On the road, Garnett kept talking about the need to buy Rolls-Royce, Ferrari... and other luxury cars to enter the NBA, and then he asked Fan Xie what car he wanted.

Fan Xi said, I don't know, I will drive whatever car others give me.

Van Hee wasn't planning to spend money on the car.

Garnett felt that Fan Xie was a little drifting. At this time, he didn't know that Fan Xie already owned a Rolls-Royce... James Dolan gave it to him.

They quickly completed the written part of the test,

Then you can find a coach to officially drive on the road. After familiarizing yourself with the road conditions and traffic signs, you can make an appointment for the test.

It only took three days to get it all done.

The examiner who invigilated the exam for Fan Xi was even a die-hard fan of Fan Xi, and he had already ticked off all the forms the first second he got on the bus.

Then, he had a good time with Vanhee for almost an hour, and they kept talking about basketball. Talk about the finals.

He still remembers every shot of Fan Xi freshly.

After finally finishing the exam, Fan Xi signed a letter for him, and wrote on it: For dear Tommy.

"Tommy is my son." George said happily.

Fan Xi was also very happy, because he got his official driver's license.

At this time, he had no idea what kind of follow-up story his signature would bring.

Garnett was targeted by his coach for singing a hip-hop song with dirty words in the car and died. In this place, where the success rate is as high as 95%, he failed to get a driver's license.

This made Marbury laugh for a while.

On the way home, Fan Xi volunteered to drive the two of them.

This was an unprecedented feeling, and he felt very refreshed.

Back home, Vanhee received a call from Pat Riley.

This is the first contact between the two after the finals.

Pat Riley's voice was weary and sounded unhappy. "I'm going to Miami tomorrow, do you want to go there with me? The sunny beach is very nice."

Miami?

Fan Xi thought that Cindy Crawford was in Miami before, but now that she has returned to New York, the two can meet tomorrow morning.

Moreover, there will be a championship reception held by the Knicks Club tomorrow night.

So, he declined Pat Riley.

Pat Riley was silent for two seconds, "Jack, what do you think of our relationship?"

"Very good, boss. Without you, I would not be where I am today. It is one of the luckiest things in my life to meet you and start my career." Fan Xi said very sincerely. Then, he asked: "Boss, why did you ask this all of a sudden, what happened?"

"No."

Pat Riley's voice came from the other end of the phone, with a bit of habitual toughness.

Then, there was another few seconds of silence.

"Jack, I hope that no matter where I go, you are willing to follow me." Pat Riley said: "My tactical system will always have a place for you."

Then, he hung up the phone.

Fan Xi listened to the beeps on the phone.

His eyebrows frowned: Boss, is this farewell? Is he leaving? Where is he going, Miami? Heat? No, he is still under contract, and... he is now a champion coach, one of the best head coaches in the NBA, there is no reason for the team management not to fulfill his wishes.

Fan Xi didn't understand.

But he is worried.

He is very worried... What if Pat Riley leaves and gets a head coach who doesn't like him next season?

Fan Xi held the mobile phone, and he planned to inquire about the news with James Dolan.

But I also feel that if there is no such thing, my guess is wrong, and it will cause a rift between the head coach and the management.

Now James Dolan is speeding up his time to seize power, and he can't wait to make something wrong. If it is heard that the wind is rain, wouldn't it be to make chickens and dogs ineffective.

Fan Xi dismissed his idea.

…

In the evening, Kate Winslet came to look for Fan Xie, and she really knew how to sneak in. When the filming of "Titanic" was at the most critical time, she said that she had been soaking in the water every day recently.

This made Fan Xi couldn't help thinking of Sam Bowie who was sailing in the Atlantic Ocean. What if this guy also hit an iceberg?

Recently, Fan Xike has received many calls from sponsors, and the mailbox is also full of offers.

Fan Xi asked Aunt Madonna to help find an assistant who could handle business, but there was no suitable one for a while.

Kate cooks for Fanhee like a wife, and the two of them made a delicious meal while hugging in the kitchen.

I have to say that Kate Winslet's steak is very good, and Kate is at the forefront of grabbing a man's stomach. If he could make boiled pork slices, Fan Xi would love him to death.

The passion of the young couple was that Fanhee found that there was sauce on the corner of Kate's mouth, and he wiped it off gently with a paper towel. Then Kate said, hold on, you have it here too.

But Kate didn't use a tissue, but gently sucked the drop of sauce from the corner of Van Hee's mouth with her tongue.

This is a different kind of stimulation.

It was like lighting a match in a warehouse full of gunpowder.

…

In the early morning, Kate hurried back to the set with exhausted body and full heart, and she continued to shoot.

Fan Xi threw the sheets into the washing machine, and mopped the floor by the way, including the bedside table, the master bathroom cabinet, and the bathtub, and even went downstairs to wash the dishes.

Jack must have been a careful spy in wartime.

He even used a brush in the shower.

He covered up all information about the crime last night.

However, when he finished the work, he received an apologetic call from Cindy Crawford. Crawford has a temporary magazine shoot, so she can only come at night, and Vanhey has a dinner party in the evening.

Well, it can only be postponed until next Saturday.

Fan Xi is not sure whether he will stay in New York next Saturday, because his work is also very busy, he is now a hot basketball star, he has many commercials to shoot, and many mornings to negotiate, and he even has to fly to Asia, There he has a wider market... Frankly, his personal vacation is pretty much over.

…

Although Fan Xi repeatedly emphasized on the phone that he had obtained his driver's license, Patrick still came to pick Fan Xi.

Ewing was very happy, even though his left hand was still in a cast. But it didn't prevent him from being discharged into high-end clubs for three consecutive nights, and his hands would not affect his shooting speed.

In the past few days, some people have fanned the flames and said that Ewing was stolen from the Finals MVP. David Falk also said publicly that it would have been better if Patrick hadn't been injured.

Ewing came to Fanxie this time to talk about this matter, and he told Fanxie: I absolutely and unreservedly support you to win the finals MVP.

"And, do you know? In the gambling game the day before yesterday, I said that you broke history and became the youngest MVP. At that time, Michael was so angry that he played a poker game and lost half a million to me. Haha. "

Ewing is very happy. Recently, he is proud of the stadium, the entertainment, and the casino.

"You should really go to Atlantic Casino, it's really a good place." Ewing said with relish.

Fan Xi really wanted to persuade Brother Gorilla to stay away from gambling, but when he thought that Brother Gorilla's salary next season would reach an incredible 18 million, he stopped.

"Jack, I bought you some clothes. It's from LV, the brand."

When Ewing arrived at the dinner hotel, he said to Fan Xi: "When you go back at night, remember to take it with you."

He also taught Fan Xi: Men must wear the best clothes, wear the most expensive watches, drive the most aggressive cars, and sleep with the wildest girls.

Fan Xi looked at Ewing with a smile, and he felt that what Ewing said was very reasonable. But the most important thing is to have a handsome face.

For example, tonight, even though Ewing was dressed up and even passed on a tuxedo.

But it still looks like an orangutan.

The feeling of being crowned with a monkey.

…

When Patrick was talking about LV to Fan Xie, Holly Branson, 14 and a half years old, finally got a valid message. A little boy named Tommy claimed that he was a witness at the time, and he said that he got a "high-speed Highway Batman' Autograph.

And he emphasized on the phone: "This person is Jack, Jack Fan! Their signatures are exactly the same, and I just got another one of his signatures from my father."

In order to get 200,000 US dollars, his family specially printed two signed faxes.

Jack Van?

The "little princess" from England is very unfamiliar with this name, and she doesn't care about basketball.

But this pointed her in the right direction, and she, who was just beginning to fall in love, never forgot the man who saved her life.

She had to find this person who made her toss and turn.
