Basketball: The Chosen Victim

Chapter 86 Save the Goddess (Meghan Episode, On Demand)

"God took a mousse for you, and will definitely send you a Wu Di!"

Cavaliers owner Dan Gilbert listened to the team's sponsorship offer for the new season that Grant reported to him, and the words popped into his mind.

Last season, because of James and O'Neal, the Cavaliers had a lot of sponsors, and the advertisements on the sidelines alone sold tens of millions of dollars.

With James and O'Neal leaving the team this summer, the Cavaliers' courtside advertisements were instantly ignored, and even the surroundings of the team were unsalable.

Now it's because of Wu Di that these sponsors are back and even the No. 46 jersey is out of stock!
昨晚对阵灰熊的比赛，吴迪轰下36分17篮板8助攻2抢断2盖帽的超级数据，成为史上第三位19岁以内拿下30+15数据的球员。

The first two are the famous Moses Malone and the rebellious son LeBron James who ran away from home.

He thought of Riley with his hair combed back, with a superior look on his face, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl up a little.

Hehe, thanks to this magician who sent Wu Dibai here, the Cavaliers were going to crash this season, but now they are about to make a go-around!
In case the Heat lose to the Cavaliers in the playoffs...

Gilbert almost laughed out loud when he thought of this, but Grant interrupted him:

"Boss, the Timberwolves, because of Williams' injury, the price has increased again. They said that in addition to adding Jordan, they also want an extra first-round pick..."

"What? They turned against them!"

Gilbert slapped the table and sat up from the boss's chair:

"Are they trying to rob, Williams plus Jordan plus a first-round pick?! Why not add Wu?"

Grant wiped his sweat and dared not answer Gilbert's question. As the general manager of the Cavaliers, he was in charge of negotiating the deal with the Timberwolves. He was primarily responsible for the negotiation.

This offer is really outrageous. Love has only just started this season, and his value in the free market is similar to that of Jordan.

It turns out that one more quasi-All-Star player plus a first-round pick plus a starter can be added to reach a deal.

In fact, although Williams was injured, it was found out that it was just an ordinary muscle strain, and he could play again after two weeks of rest.

In the first few games, the performance of Williams leading the team alone was actually quite impressive. Other teams even raised their prices, and the Timberwolves were still raising their prices.

Gilbert called Timberwolves owner Glenn Taylor directly:

"What? You don't care about the team's trade? Glenn, don't pretend anymore, you guys can't quote robbers, and only you, a former senator, have the ability to dare to speak like a lion!"

"Besides, why do you still need Jordan? Milicic played pretty well, Pekovic is coming, plus Tolliver and Koufos, do you want to form five centers?"

"Damn? You still don't have a shortage of defenders? Rubio, who was the fifth overall pick in the Euroleague last year, averaged 5 points per game and is still undergoing ligament repair surgery. Does this mean you don't have a shortage of defenders?"

"Business is not like this, Taylor, don't put your political stuff into the team, you help me today, and I can help you later..."

However, no matter what Gilbert said, Glenn Taylor just kept his mouth shut.

"Is there any suitable candidate for other teams?"

Gilbert asked helplessly after hanging up the phone.

The current lineup of the Cavaliers is short of a good insider. If Love can be traded, they played against the Grizzlies yesterday.

But Glenn Taylor probably saw a problem with their lineup, and now he is sitting on the ground and raising the price.

Grant touched his nose and said:

"The Blazers said that Adelaide can be exchanged for Wu..."

"roll!"

Gilbert kicked him out. He would not trade Wu Di even if he traded Grant now. It's a joke, and he doesn't look at who initiated the previous Clippers trade first.

Grant withdrew with an aggrieved face. He is the general manager of the team, but now his status in Gilbert's heart is not as good as that of Wu Di, a rookie...

He returned to his office, the more he thought about it, the more angry he became, no, he had to find a way to put an end to Wu Di's prestige!

……

Inside an apartment in Memphis.

The phone rang, and Wu Di touched it twice to pick it up. It was Celine's excited voice:

"Master, something serious happened!"

Wu Di was taken aback, did he come to Megan's apartment yesterday and was photographed by the paparazzi?
But this shouldn't cause Celine to engage in such a big battle, after all, both of them are single...

Suddenly, he saw his left hand handcuffed to the edge of the bed...

Fuck, could it be that a live camera was installed in Meghan's apartment?

After all, Megan is a popular actress in Hollywood, no matter what she does, she wants to act, so he agreed to the request for role-playing yesterday.

And Megan's last role was played by the Thunderbolt policewoman, and the two played until the sky was dark before they died together.

"What's the matter... speak slowly!"

Wu Di thought about it for a second, forget it, if it was broadcast live, it would all be dedicated to art.

"My editor-in-chief gave me some information and asked me to write an article to slander you for playing big names. The evidence is very strong..."

Si Lin anxiously said, she can refuse, but this kind of information is written to everyone, and the effect is the same.

"That's it?"

Wu Di let out a long sigh of relief, stretched his hand under the quilt and started today's dribbling practice.

"Isn't that serious?"

Si Lin was surprised, this level of slander will directly affect Wu Di's commercial value, which is completely different from the articles she wrote before.

After all, no brand business would like an uncontrollable spokesperson, and this is not good for the brand's image.

"Did you tell me how long it took you to finish writing?"

"Published by this Friday."

Wu Di looked at the calendar, well, there are still four days left, probably because he wanted to take advantage of the heat of the weekend.

"You write first, I know the situation, go back and reward you!"

Wu Di hung up the phone, a little confused, who did he offend?

Celine quickly sent her the "evidence" given to her by her editor-in-chief, which was the quotation contract given to him by brands such as Nike, Adidas, and Under Armour.

These contracts are not confidential information among the top executives of the brands.

Especially during this period of time, he has been playing with the brand owners on the contract price, and the brand owners will communicate with each other and hold each other to keep warm.

So, anyone here can...

But fortunately, he accepted Si Lin before, otherwise he would not even have time to react until Friday.

Wu Di woke up Megan, and was going to return to Kecheng to discuss with Ariana how to deal with it.

"Can I go with you?"

Megan suddenly asked, besides role-playing, she actually had other purposes for finding Wu Di.

"Of course!"

Wu Di smiled, but she was still a little surprised. A popular female star like Megan should be busy making movies.

"Do you know why I came to see you play?"

Megan put on a silk suspender, and her vaguely sexy curves made Wu Di hold her for another cosplay.

"Isn't it because I'm handsome?"

Wu Di smiled while supporting her slender waist, which impressed her deeply when watching "Transformers", and now she finally played with it.

"Haha... eh...but that's not the main reason...yes, it's here, work hard...I was fired by the director, and I can't even get a starring movie this year..."

Through in-depth communication, it was learned that Megan's feet were bleeding when filming "Transformers 2", and she was banned after questioning the director.

"Why did you question it?"

"I said he was downright Hitler and he was a Jew."

"It turns out that you are also a king of mouth!"

……

Schwartz is Jewish, and Riley is the godfather of the NBA. To some extent, his fate is quite similar to Megan's.

Similar fate, but now it is a very different situation, which made Megan drive all the way from Los Angeles to Memphis, looking for Wu Di to give her advice.

"Next time you need me, you can fly me directly to Los Angeles!"

Wu Di was speeding on Highway 63 in Megan's Mercedes-Benz G40. Megan has a fear of flying, and the two of them had to drive 10 hours to get to Kecheng.

If it weren't for the fact that the female driver was so beautiful, he wouldn't be able to sit no matter how stable the car was.

"It's okay, my two favorite things to do are driving and reading comics, both of which can relax me."

Megan smiled, she has rarely been as happy as today.

She removed the seductive smoky makeup, and now her light blue pupils are as pure as the little girl next door.

In fact, like Wu Di, she grew up in a single-parent family. She went to a very strict Catholic school since she was a child. Because of her angelic appearance and devilish figure, she instantly became a first-line actress.

This also led to the fact that when she stumbled, the people around her were basically unable to communicate, and those who could communicate could not understand her situation.

Wu Di is on the same level as her, and can understand her.

Unlike in China, in the United States, sports stars have a higher status than entertainment stars.

With the same high income, the job is much more stable, which is beyond the reach of ordinary entertainment stars.

Although Wu Di has not yet been selected as an All-Star, Pepsi's endorsement fees and the number of fans on Twitter have far exceeded the ranks of ordinary first-line sports stars.

"Actually, you don't have to worry. Transformers can't do without you. The casting behind that silly director is really a waste of time."

Wu Di recalled the box office of the last two Transformers movies in his previous life, and comforted him.

"...Really, but he is a great director!"

In fact, Megan has already regretted it. The director of Transformers, Mike Bay, is known as Spielberg's successor. He has great influence in the film and television industry. She has not received an invitation to star in a movie this year.

"So what about the great director! Riley is still the number one godfather of the NBA, why don't we still shout the slogan of revenge?"

Wu Di waved his hand and said, this time he must make Megan feel confident again.

In the trajectory of the previous life, Megan gradually became a traffic star after her career suffered setbacks, and later she lost her confidence and turned herself into Kardashian's half-sister.

But now this God-given beauty belongs to him, so he has to save it.

"Although this goal is almost impossible, I have become your fan!"

Megan said with a smile, she was very envious of Wu Di's chance of revenge, but the film and television industry is still not the same as the sports circle, she can only pin her feelings on Wu Di.

"Can you draw?"

Wu Di thought for a while and asked.

"If you like to read comics, you need to be able to draw? But I really know a little bit, haha."

Megan quipped.

"Then why don't you use yourself as the prototype and draw a beautiful fox who is in Hollywood. She once became popular because of the movie "Invincible Iron Bull", and then quickly passed away. The agency found a gunman for her, but it was her good friend's fiancé..."

Wu Di said that the idea he just said is exactly the plot of the popular Netflix animation "BoJack Horseman" in his previous life. Of course, it has been modified, but the core is more profound.

If Megan can draw this animation, she will not only be able to return to the showbiz as an animation director, but also break the outside world's impression that she is just a vase!
"My God, you are my savior!"

Megan said pleasantly that she had already given up hope, but once Wu Di came up with this idea, she felt that her life was full of motivation again!

……

Back in Kecheng at night, Wu Di asked his maid Liz to tidy up two rooms and make them a study and a bedroom for Megan.

Why not just sleep in his bed?
Because there will inevitably be other girls coming to live in the future, he wants a bowl of water.

Besides, this house is more than 3000 square meters and has more than ten rooms. It would be a waste not to use it.

"Mr. Wu, did you really get...Megan Fox?"

Liz's eyes widened. Megan's appearance had reached the point where men and women could kill each other, and even she was stunned.

"...Why does it sound like you already knew it?"

"Hmm... the Internet is spreading everywhere..."

Wu Di opened Twitter and found that a bunch of netizens were gossiping about his relationship with Megan in PO articles.

The original timeline was not in Memphis.

The two of them in Memphis did a very good job of keeping secrets. In addition, it was late at night, so they were not secretly photographed.

But when they drove back to Kecheng, they stopped at the service area to rest, eat, refuel, and charge each other.

Yes, the American Expressway also has a service area. In fact, the expressway is not free, but the price is directly included in the fuel, just like the South China Sea Island in China.

It was also at this time that they were photographed by passers-by. The combination of top-notch handsome men and beautiful women, coupled with the fact that they were driving a big G, made it impossible not to be eye-catching.

At that time, there were still a few kids looking for Wu Di's autograph with their jerseys, and their father would often give Wu Di a thumbs up.

But the style of online netizens has changed, and most of them are jealous:

"Damn it, Wu is so hateful, not only won the ball, but also snatched away our Tennessee goddess!"

"FXXK Wu!"

"Ahh! That's Megan Fox, who was ranked first among the "[-] Sexiest Women in the World" published by "FHM" magazine!"

"I'm only 18 years old. This kid is finished. The starting point is too high. He came up as Megan. How can he live with his mouth in his mouth? Unlike me, he is still full of obsession with life..."

"Why, Megan, you're a Lakers fan! Why did you follow Wu to Cleveland?"

"Hehe, another tragedy after the four golden flowers of the Nuggets, this time the victims are two teams!"

"Is Dongfang handsome guy so popular? I'm going to have plastic surgery right now!"

"Dude, your plastic surgery is no longer enough, you should go to reincarnation..."

Some Cavaliers fans expressed concern:

"This state must not decline significantly. The next game will be against the Lakers. Could it be the Lakers' trick?"

"Hey, the Lakers are so rich, the traps are so tempting, who the hell can resist?"

"I'm still thinking about the Lakers. I don't think I can handle the Nets tomorrow!"

"It's over, it is estimated that Wu's problems in this area will not be less in the future!"

"Oh, there's no other way. If you are too handsome, you have to go through this test...Suddenly I miss this hot man a little bit!"
