Basketball: Starting from the Rodman template

Chapter 68 Woody must have seen what he looks like after entering the NBA
After signing the contract, Adidas did not immediately announce the deal. They planned to shoot a group of joining videos for Woody, and then held a press conference to announce that Woody became the spokesperson of Adidas.

This level of specification is still quite high.

At least when Kevin Garnett and Tim Duncan joined at the time, Adi did not arrange such treatment.

But this has something to do with them being insiders.

It also has something to do with their "first time" not being given to Adi.

Tim Duncan initially signed with Nike, Kevin Garnett initially signed with AND1.

In such a situation, it would be good if Adidas did not arrange "electric shock transfer". How could it be possible to arrange a special press conference?

Woody is different, not to mention the basketball upstart, the momentum is scary, and more importantly, he rejected Nike and chose Adidas.

The reason for the choice itself is not important, the key is that he rejected Nike and then fell into the arms of Adidas, which is very important!

Originally, because LeBron rejected Adidas and chose Nike, it seemed that their Adidas were not as good as Nike.

But now Woody rejected Nike and joined Adidas, making them a tie with Nike!
Even for this reason, they have to promote Woody with great fanfare.

However, although it has not been officially announced, Adi's financial transfer speed is still very fast. In less than two days after signing the contract, 1220 million in the first year has already arrived in the account.

Woody has not yet become an NBA player, but has become a "millionaire".

Of course, not all of this money belongs to Woody. 61 of it belongs to "Magic" Johnson, and then he has to pay various taxes in the United States, which is about 50% of the income.

Woody's vision is not so shallow, he has no motivation for such a small amount of money.

But from a pauper to a "millionaire", Woody felt a sense of satisfaction in his heart. This year's hard work was not in vain. At the same time, he was also glad that he decisively chose the path of basketball after he got the system.Otherwise, in his situation, no matter what he did, it would be difficult to make so much money in just one year!

As soon as Woody got the money, he asked his second uncle to transfer 5 dollars to go home. According to the current exchange rate, 5 dollars can be converted into 40 RMB, and the family owes about 10 RMB.

Then Woody took his second uncle for a wave of "retaliatory consumption".

First, he changed Wu Erzhuang into a new set of clothes from head to toe, and then equipped Wu Erzhuang with a mobile phone, a large gold chain, and a Rolex.

In one afternoon, about 7 knives were spent on Wu Erzhuang alone!

Woody himself was not stingy, although he was not as extravagant as Wu Erzhuang. ——Mainly Woody himself doesn’t like publicity very much.

He customized two sets of brand-name suits for himself, which were prepared for the draft, and bought himself a mobile phone for easy contact.

Everything Woody needs next.

Seen this way, Woody finds himself a pragmatist.

Of course, it may also be that he has just become rich and has no experience in "spreading coins". The first thing he can think of is to buy luxury goods.Need to learn slowly.

But his two suits were not cheap either, costing Woody $1 combined.

Calculated in this way, Woody also spent almost 8 dollars in one afternoon.

But as far as the 8-digit number on his bank card is concerned, this amount of money is obviously nothing.

What a forbidden flower!
Wu Erzhuang's feeling is: It's cool to be rich!
In the evening, Woody and Wu Erzhuang went to a nightclub accompanied by "Magic" Johnson.

During this period in Los Angeles, Woody has been busy with training and various announcements, but "Magic" Johnson has made good arrangements for Wu Erzhuang. He not only found someone to accompany him to appreciate the cultural history of Los Angeles, but also took him to "five days a big high, three days a little high", and Wu Erzhuang has basically visited several famous nightclubs in Los Angeles.

It's just that it was someone else's money that was spent before, and he was not hard-nosed in ordering girls, and even less in ordering wine. This time, when Woody swiped his card, Wu Erzhuang's voice was louder than usual.

Excited, with a bottle of Romanée-Conti in his left hand and a bottle of Lafite in his right, and an unknown brand of expensive cigar in his mouth, he broke into the crowded dance floor.

This is a bit of a crazy look, if it is an ordinary person, it must be avoided.But Wu Erzhuang was wearing a brand-name suit that he bought just this afternoon, with a big gold chain around his neck, and a shiny Rolex in his hand. Instead of avoiding, a group of turbulent girls approached intentionally or unintentionally.

This overwhelmed "sensation of sexual happiness" made Wu Erzhuang even more excited, and he laughed wildly.

Laughing and laughing, he suddenly got out of control, squatting down and crying loudly.

This crazy emotional change finally frightened these bold girls. Woody also noticed the strangeness of his second uncle, and hurried up to pull Wu Erzhuang back to the booth.

Woody knew that his second uncle was suffocated.

For so many years, I have lived like a mouse in a foreign country for the sake of the "American Dream", and now I can be regarded as "once in power", and the suppressed emotions can no longer be suppressed.

No, seeing Woody come to help him, Wu Erzhuang's face was a little more relieved, nodded and said: "Uncle is fine, uncle is fine, uncle is just too happy, Xiao Di, second uncle saw you right, right!"

After another two days of fun and spending a small 20 yuan, Wu Erzhuang regained his "wisdom" and began to persuade Wu Di to save some money: "If you use it like this, the gold and silver mountains will have to be emptied."

In fact, Woody had already regained his rationality after spending a handful that day, but seeing Wu Erzhuang so happy, he didn't want to spoil Wu Erzhuang's interest, so he played with him for another two days.

I thought it would take at least a week for Wu Erzhuang to recover from this excitement, but unexpectedly, it was only three days...

He underestimated his second uncle!

There was a phone call at home, it was Wu's father who told Woody that the money had been paid off, and in order to express his apology, he added an extra 1000 yuan to the other party. Woody thought it was okay, he was willing to borrow money, but he was overdue, so adding some money was not too much.

On April 4th, Woody bought another piece of "Green Water Ghost", accompanied by "Magic" Johnson, and set off for Detroit. This "Green Water Ghost" was given to Ben Wallace to thank him for taking care of him in the training camp last year.

He also bought sideline tickets for the "Tianwangshan Battle" between the Pistons and the Magic at home on April 4.

During this period of time, he was considered "prosperous". McDonald's High School All-Star Weekend once again beat LeBron James to win the MVP trophy, and then signed a contract with Adidas comparable to LeBron James.

Ben Wallace's life with the Pistons was a bit unsatisfactory.

They entered the playoffs first in the Eastern Conference, facing the Orlando Magic, which is eighth in the Eastern Conference, it should be a 4-0 sweep or a 4-1 gentlemen sweep.

But in the end, after 4 games, the score was 3-1...

But it is the Magic 3, they 1!

Thanks to the reform of the NBA competition system, starting from this year, the first round of the playoffs will have to play seven games, otherwise the third "black eight" in NBA history has already been born.

Tracy McGrady also said in high spirits after the fourth game: "If it was last year, I would already be studying the opponents in the second round!"

Now in the fifth game of the series, returning to the Palace of Auburn Hills, Detroit is ushering in a "battle of life and death."

So before the game, Woody did not contact Ben Wallace so as not to affect his preparations for the game.

Ben Wallace was very surprised and surprised to see Woody before the game. When he received Woody's gift, he even smiled from ear to ear: "Dude, I thought at that time that you are not a normal person!"

Woody: ...

But when Woody was worried about the upcoming game for him, he was indifferent: "Dude, this is the playoffs, you must be prepared for such a situation, everything is not over yet, just wait and see, a rookie who is about to enter the NBA, I will teach you another lesson called 'persistence' and 'belief'!"

After speaking, he turned and returned to the Pistons' bench.

Woody looked at his back, really thinking about what Ben Wallace said.

And Ben Wallace's first sentence when he returned to the bench was:
"Brothers, tonight, we must, must, must win!"

Accidentally pretending to be Boda, but unexpectedly gave him another motivation to win the game.

As for the motivation at the beginning, need I say it?
Naturally, it was what McGrady said after the last game!

Already studying the opponents in the second round, right?

Then we'll let you go home and study next year's regular season!

Pistons head coach Rick Carlisle made changes for tonight's game. First, he put this year's rookie Prince into the starting lineup, and then the Pistons began to chase and block McGrady's offense.The effect is still obvious. McGrady, who averaged more than 30 points per game in the previous games, struggled in this game. He only scored 10 points at halftime, and his shooting percentage was as good as 40%, and his three-point shooting percentage was only 20%.

Without his restraint, it became more and more difficult for the rest of the Magic to score. At the end of the half, they only scored 31 points.

The Pistons fought more and more bravely, and finally they completed a 98-point victory with 67 to 31!

Ben Wallace scored 14 points and 21 rebounds in this game, as well as 4 steals and 3 blocks. His performance was extremely versatile.

A commentator looked at Woody on the sidelines at this time, and he said: "I believe that in this game, Woody must have seen what he looks like after entering the NBA!"

Ok……

One of Woody's many templates, including his "mentor" Ben Wallace!
　The second update has arrived.
