Basketball: The Chosen Victim

Chapter 2 Flying Badge
After getting rid of the reporter, Wu Di came to the team area to visit the pier.

Pat Riley was talking to his agent Jeff Schwartz at the moment, and when he saw him coming, he immediately spread his hands and said:

"Look who this is! Heat's Tanhualang! He is destined to bring us good luck!"

Wu Di stepped forward to hug Bole, thanking him with gratitude, which made Riley laugh out loud.

After exchanging greetings, Riley said earnestly:

"The ranking doesn't mean anything. Someone was selected as the champion, but now he has become the biggest parallel importer in history. Some people are not selected, but they can enter the Naismith Hall of Fame with a pair of iron fists."

"Don't slip away, show your performance, and never disappoint my investment, don't learn from that Filipino Gagou!"

Wu Di was taken aback when he heard the words. The Da Bu Liu mentioned by Riley should be himself, but who is that Filipino Gagou?

When he was in college, he had a classmate from the Philippines, and the two had exchanged the best quotations in each other's language in a friendly manner.

If he remembers correctly, Gagou or Gaga means cute in Filipino.

Because of the famous Lady Gaga to help me remember, Wu Di remembers this word very clearly.

Seeing Wu Di stunned, Schwartz on the side quickly reminded that the Filipino hook that Riley was talking about was the Filipino head coach of the Heat, Eric Spoelstra.

Wu Di was a little dumbfounded, he thought of an anecdote he had seen before:
When Riley coached the Lakers, the team training tortured the head magician until the season was reimbursed, and the Lakers lost the finals that year because of this, but this ruthless man still sits firmly as the head coach...

Now, Riley is mentioning him again. Thinking of this, Wu Di hurriedly said:
"Don't worry, Mr. Riley, I will not let you down!"

Pat Riley gave him a look like you better, patted him on the shoulder, pointed to another black man beside him and said:

"This is my assistant, no matter what happens, please contact him first."

After exchanging cell phone numbers, Wu Di and Schwartz drove back to the hotel.

On the way, Schwartz kept explaining to Wu Di with a face of shame that the Heat's first-round pick was temporarily acquired through a special deal of 1400 million yuan with the Nets, so he never brought Wu Di to meet with the Heat team management beforehand. .

Wu Di kept silent, just listening quietly, looking at the neon lights flying outside the car window.

Jeff Schwartz is the top agent in the NBA, with Penny Hardaway, Wolf King Garnett and other superstars under his banner.

The reason why this guy is so humbly explaining to himself now is that on the surface it is because the Heat's choice of him this time has nothing to do with him, and the brokerage fee is equivalent to free.

What is more likely behind the scenes is the improvement of his personal value brought by Tanhuaxiu and the Heat's wealthy background.

So, really elated!
Wu Di felt the feelings of Fan Jinzhongju today.

You know, half a year ago, when he was an unknown NCAA rookie, he didn't know how many calls and emails he tried to meet with Schwartz!

But not only was this guy not moved like in the inspirational movie, but he directly and ruthlessly blacklisted his mobile phone number and email address.

In the end, he came to New York from Oklahoma on a Greyhound bus. With a handsome face with a bright future and a high-paying agent, he persuaded Schwartz to sign him reluctantly.

Now this guy has staged a show of exaggeration and respect, which makes him want to say something, what a snobbery!
But Wu Di finally expressed his understanding. After all, the NBA is not only about playing basketball, but also about human relationships.

He is proud of the spring breeze now, but the humility in the bones of the Chinese people guides him, otherwise he will be happy with things and not sad with himself.

Although the ghost in front of him is unlikely to understand the realm of the Huaxia people, but in the final analysis, it's all business.

After all, it will depend on this ghost to introduce some high-level alliance executives and brand owners, so there is no need to tear yourself apart now.

When he came to the Marriott Hotel, Schwartz said that he had upgraded Wu Di's room to the presidential suite on the top floor, and he would treat him and wanted to stay for a few days.

Wu Di still sincerely expressed his gratitude. Although Schwartz did such a good deed because of snobbery, it is Wu Di's consistent style to express kindness to good deeds.

Entering the room, before admiring the night view in the clouds, Wu Di summoned the system, and a holographic page that only he could see appeared in front of him:
[Host: Wu Di]

【Age: 18 years old】

【Physical talent】

【Height: 196cm】

【Armspan: 211cm】

【Weight: 101kg】

【Extreme Speed: 71 (72)】

Note: 71 is the current score, 72 is the upper limit score of talent, and 100 is the full score. For reference, 60~70 is the interval between NBA rotation players and main rotation players, and 70~80 is the interval between NBA main rotation players and starting players.

【Strength: 78 (78)】

【Waist and abdomen: 77 (77)】

【Flexible: 68 (68)】

[Bounce: 80 (80)]

[Explosive Power: 70 (70)]

[Physical fitness: 70 (70)]

【Technical talent】

【Possession: 57 (57)】

[pass: 44 (49)]

[Vision: 55 (55)]

[Layup: 69 (69)]

[Dunk: 68 (68)]

【Rely on hitting: 55 (55)】

【Near shot: 77 (77)】

[CIC: 75 (75)]

[Long shot: 78 (78)]

[Jump shot: 79 (79)]

[Steals: 55 (55)]

【Rebounds: 74 (74)】

[Defense: 70 (70)]

[Blocks: 71 (71)]

【medal】

[Punching Master (Purple Diamond): Increase rebounding ability by 20%, reduce sprint take-off distance by 20%]

[Comprehensive rating: A-level, NBA main rotation]

[Wealth value: 1680 US dollars, at least 8320 US dollars need to be accumulated to exchange for 1 A-level talent point]

This is a system similar to the 2K player panel. Wu Di can exchange "talent points" with real wealth, and then increase his physical talent and technical talent index by adding points.

In a word, kryptonite can become stronger!
What, krypton gold is only to increase the talent index, the actual index can only be realized through hard training?
Come on, in this world, how many people play basketball hard, and how many people can play in the NBA?
Anyway, Wu Di is very grateful to the system, even though the krypton gold setting of the system makes his life extremely tight, he often eats the last meal without the next meal, and has to stay at the house of his teammate Evan Turner when he has no dormitory during the holidays.

However, as a reborn adult, Wu Di has long been used to living in poverty.

Although he has been studying in the United States since high school, his family background is far from reaching the level of the middle class, and he has to rely on odd jobs to earn his living expenses in the United States.

Fortunately, Wu Di's system was not produced by a certain goose.

A certain goose can only cheat money, but this system is kind and even pays Wu Di a salary.

That's right, it's wages!

Davari Lennon shed tears when he heard it, and Kvass knelt down when he heard it.

Wu Di can get real money rewards for playing basketball, and there will be corresponding rewards for scoring, steals, rebounds, etc.

Like when he played in the NCAA before, he could get a reward of about $2 for every 1000 points he scored.

However, the most rewards come from the usual training games with teammates, that is, bullfighting and so on. Therefore, Wu Di has the nickname "ball crazy" in the team.

In addition, and more importantly, if you meet a stronger opponent, you will be rewarded with more manes!

Therefore, during the two and a half years of his rebirth, Wu Di dreamed of playing in the NBA.

Relying on the understanding of the NBA draft by the fans of the two generations, Wu Di spent almost all of his dollars on the index related to physical talent and scoring.

In fact, his template is Vince Carter, who is half-human and half-god, not Fliggy and Artest in the scout report.

However, the bounce of the 80 index is already the upper limit that A-level players can achieve. If he wants to improve, he can only make up for other indexes to improve his overall rating.

But his talent point is really gone, no matter how kryptonite, the travel expenses for the draft will have to be borrowed from the campus loan.

The half-human and half-god can't dance because of Fliggy and Artest. NBA scouts are indeed logical geniuses.

In addition to giving Wu Di money rewards for playing basketball every day, the system also has tasks rewarded with medals.

Each medal is a rare treasure, like Wu Di's "Punching Master", which can directly increase the rebounding ability by 20% and reduce the sprint take-off distance by 20% after brushing the purple diamond!
What is the concept of mediation?
The rebound index of 74 has increased by 20% to 88.8, reaching the level of a superstar player!
If the rebounding index is increased later, it is even possible to break through the upper limit of 100 points...

It is foreseeable that in the near future, Wu Di will definitely become a rebounding monster like Director Long in the NBA.

And such Niu Bei's "Punching Master" badge is the task reward Wu Di obtained when he entered the Ohio State University team, a famous NCAA school.

Today, it was the day when the big fish took the bait again, Wu Di pulled the system interface to the end:

【Mission: "Flying Without Wings"】

[Task Type: Mainline]

[Difficulty: Difficult]

[Task requirements: Play in the NCAA league for at least two seasons, and enter the NBA as a lottery player]

[Mission Reward: Flying Badge (Bronze, upgradeable)]

[Note: This is a soaring road. The lottery pick is worth a lot of money. You need to overcome the prejudice of the general manager of the NBA team against the yellow race. 】

【Mission Progress: Completed!Congratulations, you became the third pick in the 2010 NBA draft. Do you want to receive the task reward? 】

Wu Di chose "Yes" with his thoughts, and a bronze badge engraved with an eagle was displayed on his system interface:

[Flying Badge (Bronze): When jumping, there is a chance to trigger the flying state. In the flying state, the ability to stay in the air +10%, the ability to layup +5%, the ability to dunk +5%, the ability to jump shot +5%, the ability to block shots +5%]

Directly increase the treasure badge of five attributes!

And one of them is a hidden attribute, the ability to stay in the air!

According to the upgrade status of the "rebound master" in the past, if Wu Di can make this badge purple in the future, I am afraid that his ability to stay in the air by 40% and his ability to layup, dunk, jump shot, and block shots by 20% will be improved!
Although it is a badge that can only be triggered under certain conditions, even so, it is against the sky!

Really fly without wings!
Wu Di put his hands in his pockets, looking at the black and gold-toned New York under the night, he didn't know what an opponent was.
