I am Really an Insider

"Yeah, I got it, I'll be there soon."

After picking up Tony, Wayne answered the phone in the extended Cadillac and hung up after a few words.

"Is there anything else?" Tony looked at Wayne, who was dressed casually. He didn't want to delay Wayne's work because of him.

"I'm going to shoot a commercial later, hehe. It's okay. I'll be back soon. Wait for me to have dinner with you tonight." Wayne shrugged. Now he can also be said to be a busy business person.

Since winning the championship this summer, Wayne's business contracts have been one after another.

In addition to the three small goals of Nike, there are also many endorsements coming to my door.

Both domestic and foreign.

Later, Wayne is going to shoot an airline commercial.

Well, how fresh it is.

In Wayne's impression, aren't airline advertisements all about stewardesses?

"If you're busy, you don't have to pick me up." Before Tony could finish speaking, Wayne waved his hand and interrupted.

"If you're not busy, don't talk about it. By the way, besides me, there are two Chinese players in this year's training camp. Did you see them on the list?"

"Hmm, a No. 5 pick this year, a second-round pick selected by you."

"That second-round pick, if you can, I want you to do everything you can to guard him in practice."

"Ah? He's just a rookie, Wei." Tony shook his head. Does Wayne have such high demands on his teammates now?

Although Tony knows that he is not a star, he is still a presence that can cause trouble to Paul Pierce in the training ground.

It's more than enough to defend a rookie who averages less than 10 points per game in the summer league.

"That's why I have to let him adapt to the rhythm of the NBA. He depends on you, Tony." Wayne rubbed his hands happily.

Allowing Tony to defend Sun Yue like this will allow him to adapt in advance to what top NBA defense is like.

To be honest, as long as you adapt to this intensity, you won't be afraid of playing in the Olympics.

Everything is in preparation for the summer of 2008.

You have to say that just by having one more Wayne, it is indeed possible for the Chinese team to reach a higher level of performance.

However, this upper limit is still too low.

It would be interesting if we could train a few more people.

At this time, Sun Yue, who was enjoying the California sunshine with Ah Lian, didn’t know what he was about to experience.

After Wayne settled Tony down, he rushed directly to the filming site of the commercial.

It’s an exaggeration to say that when Wayne arrived at the commercial shooting site, he found that a studio had been set up on site!

It's like making a movie.

The studio is shaped like an airplane cockpit, and I guess I will be filming the airplane scene in it later.

By the way, Schwartz said a few days ago that in addition to Wayne, a sports star will participate in the filming of this advertisement.

Schwartz kept it secret and didn't say who it was, only that he played football.

Wayne thought it would be Hero.

After all, the two had shot a commercial together a few years ago, which was also the first time Wayne and Sharapova met.

By the way, Sharapova was still very cold at that time, but Wayne and the president had a lively chat.

As a result, now, Wayne and Sharapova have become a couple, but have little contact with Hiero.

Ronaldo: It turns out I’m the only one in the show

As a result, when Wayne saw his partner today, he was not expecting it at all.

He’s actually the briquette king!

"Hello, Wei. Congratulations, you played well this summer." After Messi appeared, he shook hands with Wayne enthusiastically.

Then, all around, a bunch of reporters’ cameras kept flashing.

Messi is indeed a star now. In the first half of 2007, his two magical performances made him famous.

One was when he scored a hat trick against Real Madrid, becoming the first player after Zamorano to score three goals in a match of the century.

One time was in the Copa del Rey semi-finals, where he copied the goal of his senior, Lao Ma, who beat five people in a row.

He is already one of the most famous football players in the world.

As Wayne shook Messi's hand, he suddenly sensed the airline's deep malice.

This is the cutest height difference!

Afterwards, both Wayne and Messi got the script for this commercial shoot.

To put it simply, on the plane, a child spotted Messi and wanted to ask him for an autograph. However, before Messi could sign, the child saw Wayne sitting in the back row.

After that, Messi and Wayne will use various techniques to compete with each other to win the hearts of children and obtain the right to sign.

Well, the script is quite interesting. At first, Wayne thought he was going to sit in the airplane seat and say something like "It's so comfortable."

etc!

Basketball star, Messi, child, signature

Isn't this a replica of the commercial that Wayne shot with Kobe and Messi in his previous life?

Just replaced Kobe with Wayne!

Well, I didn’t expect that all this wool would fall on Kobe’s head.

By the way, if the Lakers win the championship this year, then Kobe Bryant will most likely be the one to shoot this commercial.

The filming of the commercial went very smoothly. During this time, Wayne's skills in shooting commercials have greatly improved, and his acting skills have been fully improved.

He is the best at acting in basketball, and he is the best at elbowing people in acting.

After shooting the commercial and chatting with each other for a few words, Wayne and Messi said goodbye as good friends.

Both of them are very busy and really don't have time to talk alone.

Tomorrow morning, the training camp will officially begin, and I feel a little excited just thinking about it.

It's a pity that the bond can only be achieved through teammate relationship, otherwise the bond with Tony would probably be wiped out.

Pooh!

Without the bond, Tony wouldn't be my brother?

Oh, and there’s another good brother, Zitai.

This time he must know what price he will have to pay if he runs away with someone else.

I don’t know what kind of tasks I will encounter in the training camp this time. If I can unlock another action like Kobe Bryant’s backwards, that will be great.

On the way back, Wayne received a text from Patterson.

The content of the text message is very simple: "Backup point guard is done, Steve Blake."

Well, sure enough, the fewer words, the bigger the matter.

For the Trail Blazers, this is the first truly commendable signing of the summer.

In the past, Uncle Mu and Brown were more disgusting with the Celtics than strengthening the team.

Steve Blake, a member of the 03 Platinum Generation. Of course, just a second-round pick.

He also briefly played for the Trail Blazers in the 05-06 season, and later moved to many places.

After a full circle, we are back in Portland.

Although Blake is not a very strong player, his career statistics are mediocre, his career high score has not exceeded 25 points, and he has never even had a big breakout.

But as long as fans who often watch football, they basically know him.

Because his career is long enough, and no matter which team he goes to, he can win a main rotation position.

Therefore, the sense of presence is still quite strong.

This actually speaks volumes - he is the kind of role player that every team needs.

Good enough three-point accuracy, simple but effective passing, good overall view and professional attitude.

This kind of player may not become a star, but no team will refuse.

Blake is considered a serious point guard. Last season, he averaged 5 assists per game while playing 27 minutes per game.

Moreover, the three-pointers are reliable, and the three-point shooting rate has been stable at more than 35% all year round.

With Blake here, the Trail Blazers are not afraid of not having a point guard after Paul.

Although Blake is a white defender with ordinary physical fitness,

But he is also a master of fighting!

In college, Blake got into a fight with his teammates during a training session. As soon as this video was released, everyone applauded for his superb boxing steps.

When he was playing for the Trail Blazers, he relied on boxing to stay in shape.

This probably means that people should not be judged by their appearance.

Presumably he and Wayne will have a lot in common.

If Wayne fights anyone again in the future, Blake will definitely be a good fighting force.

At least he's better than Pao'er, who is always bullied.

Pao'er: Warn once!

Blake's joining also means that Wayne has to say goodbye to Fred Jones and Bobby Jackson. There is a high probability that the Trail Blazers will not renew their contracts with them.

They may not even be able to come to the scene to receive the championship ring next season, and the team will have to send the ring.

But there's nothing that can be done about it. Wayne is used to the comings and goings of his professional basketball teammates.

Even a core player like Artest who won the championship will leave, who else won’t?

It seems that the Trail Blazers can only make minor repairs this summer.

But this is normal. Few championship-level teams will make drastic changes to their lineups.

After all, it is a championship lineup. Who will dismantle the championship team if nothing happens?

After taking care of Blake, Patterson felt that his pressure was relieved a lot.

Now, the team has basically taken shape, but there is only one role missing - the fourth substitute.

Well, the backup four spots last season were Posey and Outlaw, but they both had their flaws.

Both Posey and Outlaw are neither three nor four. If they can add an orthodox fourth position, then the Blazers can cope with more situations.

When Wayne arrived at Tony's place, he was already sweating it out on the basketball court.

Kobe helped arrange the accommodation during training. They were small single-family villas with basketball courts.

After all, he is a local leader in Los Angeles, so Kobe can still arrange these things.

Wayne?

Wayne didn't have to make any arrangements, he could just stay at his girlfriend's house.

"Tony, it's better to save some strength until tomorrow. You'll have to bear it."

"It's okay. I'll warm up first. I haven't moved for a long time. By the way, Wei, I heard some time ago that the Celtics rejected all trades from the Trail Blazers."

"It's about you." Wayne answered directly.

"Um"

"Just finish next season with peace of mind. In fact, you can work more on the defensive end like you did in college. Maybe there is Ray Allen in the offense, but he cannot be everything on the defensive end and the offensive end."

Tony nodded thoughtfully. The road to becoming a defensive master might be about to begin.

After dinner that night, Wayne asked Tony to go to bed early.

Starting tomorrow, it won't be easy for everyone who comes to training camp.

The training camp that has been planned for so long is finally about to begin.

At this time, far away in Orlando, the second-place pick of the 2003 Golden Generation, who was extremely disappointed with the Magic, received an unexpected contract invitation.
