The draft is over, and the fate of the rookies of the class of '04 is settled.

Domestically, many fans may not understand why the SuperSonics traded Wayne immediately after selecting him.

After all, at that time, fans still had a very limited understanding of the NBA, and they were not too clear about many rules and rules of the NBA.

Therefore, some media took advantage of the wind to rudder and played the eye-catching news that "Wayne was abandoned without a fight", but there was no logic.

It wasn't until the evening of the same day that CCTV 5 opened a special program specifically for Wayne's draft, which explained the reason why Wayne was traded.

"From the beginning, the Pacers wanted to pick Wayne, but they didn't have a high enough pick, so they asked the SuperSonics to help pick and then switch."

Teacher Xu Jicheng can only explain to the fans in this simple and easy-to-understand way that those tabloids are too capable of pulling hatred.

And what about Wayne himself? After the draft, he attended several press conferences.

There are those who face Chinese reporters, those who face reporters in Jingshui City, and those who face reporters in Indiana.

Despite being the No. 12 rookie, Wayne is no less concerned than Howard and Okafor.

This is probably the so-called market dividend.

After finally tossing and turning, Wayne also met with the Pacers' uniform team.

By the time Wayne returned to his hotel, it was already one o'clock in the morning.

"Hey, it's so tiring to participate in a draft conference, what can I do in the future." Wayne lay on the bed, his eyelids heavy.

Is it what it's like to be a professional footballer?

I'm going to be wearing a Pacers jersey next season.

Well, it's a bit unexpected. A month ago, he was watching the Pacers' Eastern Conference Finals on television.

It didn't take long for me to become one of them.

Speaking of which, the Pacers bunch ...... Artest, O'Neal Jr., I don't know if the "Martial Saint" Jackson will come.

Because in the original history, Harrington, the chip that the Pacers used to trade Jackson, was traded for Wayne himself.

If the "Martial Saint" finally came in some other way......

Obediently, none of these teammates are easy to mess with, and all of them are talents!

Playing with this group of people, God knows what will happen, I'm afraid I'm not going to get elbowed when I'm not training.

"Harden's tragedy is going to happen to him in advance?" Wayne couldn't help but feel a chill down his spine.

By the way, there is also the infamous Auburn Hills palace incident that established the historical status of Altai.

The Pacers were ostensibly a strong contender for the championship, but after the fight, the main team was suspended, Miller retired, and the team basically began to rebuild.

Didn't people in Wayne's previous life say it? That fight wiped out Miller's last chance to win the championship.

Seriously, Atai is also an epoch-making player.

He created a precedent for hitting the audience from the No. 1 position!

No one knows the all-powerful better than Artai.

Wayne knows a little bit about the current Pacers.

It should be said or not, they do have the strength to compete for the championship.

Artay was sixth on the MVP list and the best defensive player last season, third on the MVP list for Xiao O, and second on the Harrington Sixth Man list for the best sixth man, plus Miller with a little gas in the tank.

The Pacers are really strong.

The team that can win 61 wins is indeed not a joke.

In the original history, if it weren't for the Auburn Hills Palace incident in the 04-05 season, it is impossible to say where the Pacers would go!

That season, it was a shame indeed.

But that's different now, and with Wayne, the Pacers' 04-05 season might not be so fucked up.

It is often said that there are no ifs in life, but Wayne's life now is ifs.

"Well, if the Auburn Hills fight hadn't had that much or no impact at all......" Wayne touched his chin, and the Pacers and himself might be able to make a difference!

Although Artey and Xiao Ao are not banned, they may not be able to start the game.

But as far as Wayne knows, Harrington was the sixth man in the Pacers last season, and the numbers of playing time, shots and points were all in the top three on the team, more than Miller, and no different from the starter.

If you can take the position of the sixth man, you won't have to worry about not having a chance to perform.

In such a situation, if you can help the walker realize his dream......

Obediently, don't talk about anything else, those in the 03rd class have red eyes!

Beat 03 super platinum!

This is an opportunity to compete for the championship, and many stars in the NBA have worked hard for more than ten years without touching the championship.

Not to mention more than ten years, Wayne had a chance to win the championship in his previous life, and he didn't see that Carter had played for more than 20 years.

Look at Carl. Ma Long, at the end of his career, he finally hugged a group and didn't get the championship.

Malone is all good, although there is no champion, but the historical status is out.

What about Weber? In the future, when people bring up the topic of "the best power forward in the NBA", how many people still remember him?

If Webb can have a championship, can he be so buried?

Championship opportunities don't come often, so Wayne feels he has to take them.

Don't say it's worthless to win the championship as a sixth man, Ginobili played sixth man most of the time with the Spurs, but no one would say that the Spurs championship has nothing to do with him, right?

And it's not like being a sixth person for the rest of your life.

This opportunity must be seized, it must be seized!

Whether it works or not is another matter, at least you have to try!

"By the way, now is not the time to think about that." Wayne shook his head, not thinking much more.

The reward he received after becoming a first-round pick has not yet been checked!

Turn on the system, click on the backpack, and the diamond-level "Body of Steel" badge and the A-level raffle bag are lying there quietly, waiting for Wayne.

Wayne first received the "Man of Steel" badge, which, like the narrative, would allow Wayne to prevent the possibility of a major injury.

But it didn't say that there would be no minor injuries.

This is actually quite reasonable, if Wayne won't suffer even the slightest injury, then it doesn't mean that he will become a superman.

The kind that can't even cut through the skin.

Then what kind of basketball do you play, you can directly wear it to Mars!

Small bumps are inevitable, and thankfully Wayne doesn't experience a devastating blow.

However, since Wayne now only has three badge gear slots, one must be removed from the existing one to equip the Man of Steel.

Just as Wayne was still struggling with which badge to take off temporarily, he saw that there was another item in the badge description.

"The highest-level Diamond Badge can be equipped without occupying an equipment slot!"

"This Nima is worthy of a diamond!" Wayne was shocked, the additional features of this diamond badge are, powerful.

So, in the future, if Wayne has the opportunity to train the purple "Big Heart Killer" to diamonds, he will be able to free up another equipment slot?

Fragrant, simply fragrant!

According to the logic of the system, it may be because a person can train all badges to the diamond level, then this skill is equivalent to being deeply rooted in the player's bone marrow, and it can be effective without additional equipment.

This kind of system that seems reasonable but is actually perverted, Wayne said I like it very much!

Well, he completely forgot that he was still scolding this broken system a few days ago for being too expensive and upgrading too slowly......

The essence of human beings is double standards.

With this "Iron Body", Wayne can also increase his weight gain without worrying about injury.

After getting the badge, Wayne couldn't wait to open the A-level raffle package.

If you can draw any power +10 props, then you can't ride a horse and gallop.

"Wait." Wayne sat up from the bed.

As is customary, I went to the toilet first and washed my face.

After opening the raffle package, Wayne finally saw the words "special action"!

He finally has a special move to equip!

But on closer inspection, Wayne was dumbfounded.

"This ...... What is the ...... of playing?"

Wayne knows all these words in front of him.

But together, Wayne doesn't know how to understand it.

"Special Move: Carl. Marlon's Iron Elbow (Silver, upgradeable).

Effect, slightly increases elbow damage, and slightly increases the deterrent effect given to the opponent after elbow strike. ”

"What about Olajuwon's footsteps? What about Kobe Bryant's backlash? No matter how bad it is, you can have a hook hand from Chairman Yao. Cal. Marlon's iron elbow is actually a special move! It's outrageous!

You call this thing basketball skills? Will there be a silver cannon fist in the future? ”

Wayne was shocked, this special action is really fresh and refined.

And the most hanging, can this thing be upgraded to make you?

What's up? Encourage me to elbow hard?

Speechless, Wayne accepted the special move and equipped it.

This hasn't been reported to the Pacers yet, and the system has prepared all the "weapons" needed to get along with teammates?

Well...... Are you so sweet......

Fortunately, there is a "body of steel" badge against the sky as a comfort, otherwise Wayne would have died of anger.

Forget it, just use it for self-defense.

Early the next morning, Wayne also said that he was going to take his parents around to play.

But Schwartz regretfully told Wayne, "I'm afraid there's not that much time, Wayne." Since last night, you've been a pro. So tomorrow afternoon, I arranged for you to meet with Nike. ”

"Nike? Signing a sneaker contract so soon? Wayne really didn't expect this to happen, and the draft ended only the next day, isn't it too early?

This is something that Wayne really didn't know well enough in his previous life as a fan.

It's a regular time to sign a sneaker contract now, and it's not too early at all, and many rookies sign a sneaker contract before the draft begins.

If you sign it after the summer league, it's too late.

For example, Howard, the champion of this year, announced that he had reached a 3-year, 30 million endorsement contract with Adidas a week before the draft.

For major sporting goods companies, signing rookies, especially lotto rookies, must be robbed.

Because you don't know who among these young people will become the next "hit".

As long as you can bet on one of them, the rewards are immeasurable.

Therefore, major sporting goods companies are adopting a wide net strategy to catch up on rookies, especially lotto rookies.

I'd rather sign a bunch of wrong ones than let go of a right one.

The risk of sports brands signing rookies has always been, and the risks have always been great.

But the competition is so fierce that even if you take a risk, you have to throw money at it.

Reebok crashed last year because it didn't get the pride of Akron, which caused the stock market to plummet.

Of course, it must be said that Reebok was not without action at the time, they were closer to Mousse than Nike.

It was only in the end that Reebok found out that they were being used as a tool to raise prices.

It's like shrimp and pork heart.

"Well, time is a bit tight, after all, you're very popular. Don't worry, I'll give you a few days off before Summer League, so you can have fun with your family.

But now, we have to settle the sneaker contract thing.

Honestly, I'm trying to create an atmosphere where you're in demand.

You negotiated with Nike the day after the draft, and guess if Adidas and Reebok would be in a hurry? And then came to you with a bigger contract because of it? ”

After listening to Schwartz's explanation, Wayne smiled.

Sure enough, the brokers are the best scammers in the world.

Schwartz does have a good face, but then again, how can you deceive people if you don't have a good face?

This game is set up, and it is interlocking.

"Well, I'll be at your disposal for the last few days, Mr. Schwartz."

"Just call me Jeff, Wayne. By the way, for your first sneaker contract...... Do you have your own psychological expectations? ”

Schwartz's question made Wayne not rude.

This is a big project that often costs millions, and he has been exposed to it there.

And the sneaker contract, unlike the NBA contract, can basically guess the roughly.

Between different people, the gap in sneaker contracts is unbelievably wide.

James signed a 90 million contract with Nike for 7 years last year, and this price is sky-high even in 2020.

is also the champion, this year's Howard is only 30 million in 3 years.

Is there a lower one? Of course, Simmons, who was blocked by Jenner in the future, only had 12 million for 5 years when he signed with Nike.

Yao Ming, who has the Chinese market and the status of the champion, signed a 7-year 50 million contract with Reebok.

You see, the four champions, the four people get very different offers.

There is no standard for sneaker contracts, and unlike the NBA, there are all kinds of restrictions.

As long as you have money, you can spend as much as you want.

"Hmm...... How much do you think I can sign? Wayne, who had no clue, could only push the problem back to Schwartz.

"Me...... Try your best to get the same as this year's champion. Schwartz smiled confidently.

He's about to start showing off his business skills.
