I am Really an Insider

Chapter 296 Chapter 293: Exchange system, sky-high price contract (6.3K votes requested)

After Wayne turned on the system, a text prompt popped up immediately.

"Congratulations to the host for achieving the 'Grand Slam of Honor' achievement and unlocking hidden functions."

"Grand Slam of Honor?" Wayne scratched his head, turned off the prompt, and looked at the system interface.

Sure enough, the interface that had been flashing and flashing in the past few days can now be clicked into.

"Add points and redeem", the name of this interface is simple and crude.

As the name suggests, it should be a function that can increase the chance of adding points.

As we all know, the chance for Wayne to add points for each upgrade is very limited, and they will be gone once they are used up.

No matter how many growth points you have, you can't add attributes.

Moreover, as the upgrade cycle gets longer and longer, there are fewer and fewer opportunities to add points.

Now Wayne can reach the finals level from start to finish in a season, but he may not be able to be promoted once in a season.

After upgrading a few more times, it may take two or three years to get another chance to upgrade.

As a result, the improvement of attributes will be very slow.

Of course, this is also in line with normal rules.

Under normal circumstances, a professional player will make great progress in the early stage, and then his growth will slow down or even stagnate after entering the peak period, until he begins to decline after the peak period.

Most players follow this growth pattern.

In this regard, this system is quite reasonable.

Of course, this refers to most players, and there are no exceptions.

For example, in the future, McAway and Jennings will reach their peak when they debut, and immediately start to decline after reaching their peak. There is no so-called growth period and stable period at all.

There is also a weirdo like Deng Dai who reached his peak right after his debut and stayed at his peak for more than ten years.

But Wayne's growth is still relatively "normal". He made rapid progress at the beginning, and now slowly reaches his peak, only upgrading every few years.

But the emergence of the function of adding points and redeeming them undoubtedly breaks this rule!

Wayne hurriedly clicked in and took a look, and the system immediately gave a new prompt: "Congratulations on unlocking the extra point opportunity redemption function. This function is a hidden function. You need to complete the hidden task of 'more than 6 NBA personal honors in a single season' to unlock it.

The host has achieved the achievement and this feature is now available to the host. "

"I see, it also has hidden functions. Just like when playing a game, rewards can be unlocked by meeting certain hidden conditions without prompts."

Wayne touched his chin, worthy of being a teammate of the Logic Master.

In other words, Wayne is indeed soft on personal honors this season.

Double first team, three MVPs, three-point champion, everything he could win.

Winning even one of these personal honors in one season is considered impressive, let alone winning them all.

I guess the system didn't expect that someone could actually unlock this achievement.

But then I thought about it, Wayne was almost able to unlock this feature in his rookie year!

In his rookie year, Wayne won the Rookie of the Year MVP, Best Rookie of the Year, Best Sixth Man of the Year, Best Rookie First Team, and FMVP. He was only one short of unlocking it!

What a pity, what a pity!

If this feature could have been unlocked at that time, Wayne's attributes might be much higher now.

It's a pity that this function only counts NBA honors, otherwise Wayne would have had the Asian Championship MVP and Best Fighter awards in his rookie year to make up for it.

Being a fighter...should be considered an honor, right?

Since there are hidden functions, does that mean that if you achieve more career achievements in the future, more functions will be opened?

No matter, let’s take a look at how to redeem this opportunity to add points!

Entering the point adding interface, Wayne looked at the redemption instructions.

Since it is a function unlocked by personal honor, the redemption must be related to honor.

This point-adding opportunity redemption function, to put it bluntly, is to use season honors to redeem the number of points added.

The number of points that can be exchanged for different honors is also different.

For example, MVP can be redeemed 5 times for extra points, a total of 8 times for one defense and one defense, FMVP can only be redeemed 3 times, AMVP and three-point king can only be redeemed once each.

Also, if the value of the three-point king is equal to that of the MVP, then it's not nonsense.

In that case, Wayne would just be the three-point champion every season.

This function... forces Wei Ge to be an honor harvester!

Wayne, who was anxious about math, did the math and found that he could redeem a total of 18 extra points this time!

But it's not over yet, Wayne saw that the team's honor can also be exchanged for extra points!

There are 5 division championships and 10 overall championships, but the bonus points opportunities for the division championship and the overall championship cannot be superimposed.

In other words, if you win the championship after winning the Western Conference, then the chances of adding points will not be 15 but only 10.

10 times is a lot!

If added, Wayne can now redeem 28 extra points.

Moreover, the initial number of growth points required to add points is calculated based on the current level.

What a great deal!

Suddenly, Wayne, whose brain was running 10 times faster than Tai Tai, suddenly thought of a cool operation.

If I can get honors every season, then as long as I keep relying on this redemption function to add points, I won’t need to upgrade!

Because after upgrading, the cost of adding points will increase.

Without upgrading, you can always rely on this redemption function to increase your attributes at a relatively low cost, and plunder the system like crazy until it is full.

Even if you can't unlock new attributes without upgrading, it's basically enough!

However, a row of red font prompts at the bottom of the interface broke Wayne's fantasy.

"At each level, the redemption function can only redeem up to 40 points-adding opportunities. After upgrading, the redemption opportunities can be reset."

"Uh" Wayne covered his forehead, it was indeed a very reasonable system.

This has blocked all the BUGs.

How can I fly if I can't get the bug?

In other words, no matter what, you still have to upgrade.

Without upgrading, you can only use this function 40 more times to add points.

After 40 times is used up, you still have to upgrade to increase the upper limit.

Well, 40 times is not bad.

So hot, add it up now!

Currently, Wayne has 28 extra point opportunities.

He first added 5 points of strength, increasing his strength to 85.

In this way, even if Gaso takes a rest in the future, he can occasionally play the center position.

With 85 strength and those badges, it's not impossible to carry Chairman Yao for a few rounds.

This is really developing in the direction of an all-round warrior!

Later, Wayne added 10 points in passing.

Wayne's current passing relies mostly on his basketball IQ and vision advantage. His passing level is considered good among big men, but some tricky passes are still difficult to make.

When G6 of the Western Conference Finals changed to point guard, Wayne found that many times he could see opportunities for his teammates, but he did not have the confidence to pass the ball, so he had no choice but to give up.

Now, after passing the ball to 73, he will definitely be able to pass more difficult balls and seize more opportunities.

If you play the No. 1 position again in the future, you won't be afraid of being targeted.

In the last 13 opportunities, Wayne added 3 times to protect the ball and hit 70 to avoid being cut and stolen.

The acceleration ability was reached 5 times and reached 75. Coupled with this meteoric pace, the ability to fight at a fast pace, chase risks and surpass others has been improved.

5 times to mid-range shot, increased to 81. In this way, even if it is not a critical moment, even if it does not cooperate with the offensive kaleidoscope and Kobe Bryant's back, the mid-range is more stable.

In the end, Wayne improved 5 attributes without upgrading.

Comfortable, very comfortable!

What's annoying is that the seemingly many 28 opportunities were used up in the blink of an eye.

Does winning three consecutive championships unlock a modifier with a 999 points chance?

Well, with this system’s urinary nature of “pursuing reasonableness and supporting troublemaking”, it should be impossible.

In the past, points were added before the start of the season. This is the first time that points are added after the end of the season.

Don't tell me, although the entire season just ended yesterday, after adding points, Wayne can't wait to try his performance on the basketball court.

Speaking of which, in order to prepare for the 2008 Olympics, the Asian Basketball Association sent a second team to participate in this year's Asian Championships.

So, for once, Wayne has no national team duties this summer.

This is actually fine, there is really nothing going on in the Asian Championships right now.

If you can't earn points, your popularity won't increase much.

Moreover, no one dares to fight with Wayne.

Therefore, Wayne really has no desire to play in the Asian Championships.

You can take advantage of the fact that there is no national team duty this summer and start the summer training camp!

Last summer, Wayne held a short training camp. Although it was not long, it was of high quality.

Well, it would be perfect if we didn't get up early every morning to play one-on-one with Kobe.

Although it allowed Wayne to get the "Kobe Bryant fade" that showed off his magic in this year's Western Conference finals, it was really annoying, and Wayne almost had to sleep in the arena.

There is no international competition duty this year, so Wayne can rest assured and go crazy in the training camp.

With Wayne's current prestige, most of the stars who are not on bad terms with him should be able to be invited.

Thinking of this, Wayne was a little eager to give it a try.

"Wait!" Wayne looked at his hands. Why the hell did I just finish the finals yesterday and I'm already thinking about the summer training camp?

How come he looks more and more like the pervert Kobe!

Gan!

After getting up, Wayne looked out the window at the streets of Cleveland.

Staff are already removing huge posters of the finals all over the streets, and there are no fanatic fans wearing No. 23 jerseys on the streets.

The whole city has returned to a state of decay.

But Wayne didn't feel heartbroken. As much as Cleveland is declining at this time, Portland will be so lively!

At this time, Wayne's phone rang. It was his agent Schwartz.

Yes, as soon as the season ends every year, it’s Schwartz’s busiest time.

Last summer, he was extremely busy with Wayne's transfer.

And this summer, he will be very busy with money matters.

"Nike hopes to renew your contract as soon as possible. I have an appointment after the championship parade. Is that okay?"

"No problem, I also want to finalize the business contract as soon as possible."

"By the way, in addition to Nike, I have many contracts here waiting for you to sign. You are now a hot superstar, Wei. There are many commercial contracts in both China and the United States waiting for your reply.

It can be said that relying solely on the income from commercial contracts, you can live a comfortable life even if you don't play. "

Schwartz told Wayne this without hesitation, because he knew that Wayne was not the kind of person who would relax when he had money.

“It looks like it’s going to be another busy summer.”

"Yes, busy summer."

"Okay, then in June, we will get all the commercial contracts. Then, we will make arrangements for the rest of the summer."

After hanging up the phone, Wayne looked at the sun in the distance and smiled.

This summer will definitely be colorful and exciting.

In the afternoon, the Trail Blazers players arrived in Portland with the O'Brien Trophy.

Just as Wayne had imagined, almost half of Portland took to the streets.

When they won the championship for the first time, although Wayne was the Finals MVP, the hero in the hearts of Pacers fans was Reggie Miller.

And this time, Wayne finally enjoyed the feeling of being a hero.

When he walked out of the plane with the O'Brien Trophy in his left hand and the FMVP trophy in his right hand, Wayne felt like everyone in Portland was cheering for him.

“Wayne came out, and now I can’t hear anything except the buzzing shouting!

A year ago, the Trail Blazers were a lottery team with no hope. But now, Wei is carrying the championship trophy to the Rose Garden!

He is now the most popular person in Portland! "

The reporters on the scene yelled and wrote in front of the camera.

Wayne raised the two trophies high and looked at the dark crowd below. To be honest, he felt quite shocked.

At this time, the originally chaotic shouts were unified into one word - King.

Portland fans are just about to go up and put the crown on Wayne's head.

He became the true king of the city!

James: Then what kind of king am I?

When Wayne returned to the arena holding the championship trophy, a TV station's helicopter broadcast the entire process live.

Along the way, people are just people.

Portland fans are not as passionate about basketball as Indianapolis.

But the fan population is still large enough.

Now that things are like this, can we still have a championship parade? !

It's really amazing.

Paul Allen's championship parade plan is nothing short of extravagant.

I remember that when the Pacers held the championship parade, they accepted funding from the city government.

This year, the Portland city government also wanted to sponsor it, but Paul Allen politely declined.

On the surface, he declined politely, but in fact, Allen's inner voice said: "You should keep the little money you have for your own entertainment."

In addition to the regular celebration around the city, Allen's championship parade also invited a fleet of aircraft to perform throughout the process.

In addition, he is also planning to give the players a surprise at the end of the parade - the team's exclusive plane.

Yes, he also followed Cuban's example and directly bought a plane for the players.

In this way, the aircraft can be modified according to the needs of the players, and their long legs no longer have to worry about having nowhere to put them.

In addition to the plane, Allen also bought a yacht for the players to use during evening celebrations.

I have no choice but to pamper the players.

The uncle won the championship, so happy!

Therefore, the assets of the municipal government are not enough to fill the gap between teeth.

It’s okay not to!

When Wayne placed the championship trophy on display in the Rose Garden, he felt a sense of accomplishment.

This trophy is the second championship trophy in the Trail Blazers showroom.

The last one was already in 1977.

This is why the Trail Blazers are lucky to have a trophy in the showroom.

Because before 1977, the NBA championship trophy was held on a rotating basis.

This year's championship team can only have the trophy for one year. If another team wins the championship the next year, it will have to give the trophy to someone else. It's fucked up.

Starting in 1977, the NBA changed the championship trophy from rotating ownership to permanent ownership.

The Trail Blazers were the first team to take advantage.

But even so, 1977 was already a long, long time ago.

In the 30 years since then, no one from the Trail Blazers has been able to lead the team to a championship.

Wayne was the first after Bill Walton.

Therefore, this gave Wayne a sense of "this is truly my team."

No matter how great you are with the Celtics, there is a Bird, an Auerbach, and a King of the Rings Russell in front of you.

No matter how great you are with the Lakers, you still have Shaq, West, and Maggie in front of you.

But in Portland, there was almost no one in front of Wayne!

Bill Walton is too old and doesn't have many honors.

Drexler simply failed to lead his team to win the championship.

Wayne will have the opportunity to write the history of this team with his own hands and become the greatest player on this team.

Well, Wayne has no interest in being an urban hero to the American people.

But if the boss is willing and the management is dedicated to their responsibilities.

Well, Wayne is still very willing to have a team of his own.

Just like when the Bulls are mentioned, no matter how long it takes, people will think of Michael Jordan.

Wayne also hopes that when the Trail Blazers are mentioned in the future, the first thing people think of is himself.

This basketball dream is still there.

After putting away the championship trophy, Wayne could finally start his vacation.

Early the next morning, Schwartz rushed to Portland to discuss the sneaker contract with Wayne.

When Wayne asked Schwartz what Nike's offer was, Schwartz simply declined.

"This afternoon, you'll get a rough idea of ​​your worth."

By the afternoon, sure enough, all major media broke the news that sneaker manufacturers were competing for Wayne.

The fans were dumbfounded by the figures in the sneaker contracts. This money war between sneaker manufacturers was extremely fierce!

At the beginning, Adidas dropped a bombshell. Sources revealed that they were willing to use a 13-year contract of 185 million to acquire Wayne!

This still does not include the amount of various bonus terms.

The 185 million in 2007 was still quite exaggerated. LeBron's sneaker contract is only 90 million.

But Wayne deserves it.

Two championships in three years, another MVP Grand Slam this year, and the Chinese market.

Only fools are reluctant to spend money!

A star's second sneaker contract is usually a long-term contract of about ten years.

Because if nothing else, sneaker manufacturers will customize and package products for this player throughout his career.

The two sides are considered to be tied together.

185 million, if it’s just for fun, Wayne doesn’t think it’s an exaggeration.

But when I think about it, my future earnings will be measured in hundreds of millions.

Ahem, you have to hold on tight, I'm a superstar, I can't imitate that little loser like Durant!

KD preparing for the draft:? ? ?

Adidas's strategy is obvious. They quoted a fierce price as soon as they came up.

If Nike doesn't match up, then Wayne will be left empty-handed.

If Nike matches, Nike must also bleed!

In the evening, Under Armor, which was preparing to enter the basketball market, also made an offer to Wayne.

This time, it became 200 million.

Although 200 million does not seem much more than 185 million, Under Armor provided Wayne with only 10 years.

A full 3 years less than Adidas!

The money is more, but the contract years are less.

Calculated this way, this 200 million contract is much larger than Adidas's.

Since Reebok stalled, Under Armor has been trying to get into the basketball market to get a piece of the pie.

The fastest way to open the door to the basketball world is to sign an influential star.

Compared with Nike and Adidas, Under Armor has no advantage in reputation, so no big-name stars are willing to sign with Under Armor.

They don’t have that much history and sneaker culture, so there are only two things they can do.

First, pay attention to the potential rookies who have not yet entered the league. If they can happen to sign a future superstar, they will be successful.

Originally, they were planning to take action against American Kevin Durant, but unexpectedly, Nike took the lead.

And the second way is - throw money.

Just hit a superstar over here!

Wayne is their only chance and they won't let it go!

What is the concept of 200 million in 10 years?

This means that Wayne can earn an average of 20 million a year from sneaker contracts alone.

Well, the maximum salary in the NBA this year is not even 20 million.

In the future, you can really earn more from endorsements alone than playing basketball. Under Armor has really spent a lot of money.

Because they know that what Wayne can give them back is more than just 200 million.

Under Armor entered the Chinese market in 2001 and has always been tepid.

Almost all Chinese people know about Adidas Nike, but how many people know what Under Armor is?

Is this thing as easy to wear as Adidas?

If Under Armor can sign Wayne, it will not only open up the basketball market, it will also open up the Chinese market!

Therefore, Under Armor's victory over Wayne is of great strategic significance!

Looking at Under Armor's 200 million offer, Wayne shrugged: "Is my worth over?"

However, Schwartz still just smiled: "Close."

“God is so close”

Two days later, Wayne attended the lavish championship parade in Portland.

The march lasted for a full 6 hours, and all of Portland participated.

In the evening, on the yacht where the players were gathering, Wayne met with a Nike representative in a small office.

Logically speaking, this kind of formal meeting should not occur at a players' gathering.

But Nike representatives repeatedly emphasized: "It will only take no more than 30 minutes for our negotiations to end."

Then, it really is.

One day after the championship parade ended, just when everyone thought the NBA would be temporarily calm.

A big piece of news suddenly appeared.

"300 million in 10 years, Wayne will stay at Nike!"

"The sky-high price contract was born, and the amount of Wayne's sneaker contract has exceeded the total amount of Jordan's career salary!"

"Nike: Bat-generation Wayne signature sneakers will be unveiled in the new season and were secretly developed as early as a year ago."

Nike retained Wayne with an offer that was much higher than Adidas and Under Armor.

So yesterday, there was almost no negotiation - nothing at all.

This quote is for you to sign the contract with peace of mind.

In addition to the 300 million yuan, Nike also said: "If everything goes well in these ten years, we may be able to reach a lifetime contract."

At this point, Nike has three players: Kobe, Wayne and James.

It can be said that Adidas' defeat on the basketball court is inevitable.

Their glory came to an end the moment Wayne signed this contract.

In the next ten years, the basketball world will belong to Nike.

What is a superstar?

Even if the season is over, your news can still shock the entire basketball world.

You are a superstar!

The news that Wayne signed a contract with Nike for $300 million in 2010 once overshadowed the popularity of the draft.

Let the young kids waiting to participate in the draft see the power of superstars.

As long as you work hard, you will always have the joy of swordsmanship.

Unknowingly, Wayne has also become a role model and goal for many players.

At this time, Kevin Durant, who is waiting for his fate, can say harshly: "Bah! So what if I can't do the bench press. Wayne couldn't do a few back then. Didn't he also become a superstar? !?"

Well, a group of interesting new people are about to join the story of Wayne's career.

Today's 10,000-word update is here, the last day for relatives to stay here. Tomorrow, the number of updates will start to return to normal.
