I am Really an Insider

Chapter 85 083: The oldest, the youngest

To shoot the commercial, Wayne and Schwartz once again came to New York, the "Big Apple City".

At this time, Wayne, who was sitting in the hotel room, looked at the news in the newspaper and was really ashamed of the news he saw.

It came, it came, and finally the hot man came.

"Sign and then trade, Stephen Jackson joins the Indiana Pacers!"

NBA Jim Kelly: "He can seamlessly integrate into this team with a similar style to his."

Larry Bird: "I'm glad Jackson can join. He is a great addition to us."

Donnie Walsh: "I believe Jackson can be successful in Indianapolis."

Artest, O'Neill, Jackson.

Okay, now it’s all done.

The Indianapolis MMA team is officially formed.

In Wayne's previous life, the Pacers traded Harrington for Jackson.

But now, Harrington has been traded for Wayne, so Wayne has always thought that Jackson will not come.

Unexpectedly, after going around and around, "Martial Saint" returned to the team.

The difficulty of preventing the Mount Auburn incident has skyrocketed in an instant!

Speaking of which, this time the Pacers acquired Jackson, it was basically a robbery-style transaction.

Bird used white forward Austin Clothier, second-year guard Fred Jones and the 2006 first-round draft pick to trick Jackson.

Sure enough, Bird recovered all the things he was cheated by Wally Walker with the Hawks.

The NBA is really a harmonious family!

Eagles general manager Billy Knight: Rogue in tears.Jpg.

How pitiful is this deal?

Austin Clothier, you may have never heard of this person. You only need to know one thing - he is the second-highest paid player in the Pacers team, second only to O'Neal!

But what were his statistics last season? Played 77 times as a substitute, averaging 5.0 points and 3.2 rebounds per game.

A typical person who only takes money but does not work, or said: high salary but low ability.

Regarding Clothier's contract, it goes back to the 1999-00 season.

Crohill, who was in his third year at the time, averaged 10.3 points and 6.4 rebounds, and his three-point shooting percentage reached 36.2%. He also played a special role in the playoffs, helping the Pacers reach the finals.

The Pacers believed that Crohill was about to start realizing his talent, so they offered him a seven-year contract worth 55 million.

Then, all the knife fun was in vain. Closier has been getting worse and worse since then, and is now basically in a state of early pension.

The lessons of history keep telling us: “Impulse is the devil’s mother.”

Never offer a big contract with both hands when your head is hot.

This contract has made the Pacers difficult in the free agent market, and the transaction value is even negative.

Another bargaining chip, Fred Jones, was a lottery goalkeeper in 2002. He had no chance with the Pacers for two years, so he was included in the transaction as a potential stock.

Whether it can be fought or not, no one knows.

A first-round pick in 2006 and a pick two years later are even more outrageous.

Relying on this, Bird got Stephen Jackson, who averaged 18.1 points per game last season, has comprehensive offensive methods, strong defense, and good fighting skills. The hero of the Spurs' championship in 2003.

A typical cannibal who doesn't spit out the bones and traps people into his grandma's house.

"How did you do this?" Wayne looked at the newspaper and suddenly felt a headache.

He now feels that "Karl Malone's iron elbow" came just in time, otherwise he might not survive a week in training.

Although he didn't want to be rude, Wayne couldn't help but complain: "I'm afraid Billy Knight is not a fool, but he still said he had some PY deal with Bird."

"Hahaha, don't be surprised, Bird has figured out the Eagles' pain point."

Schwartz waved his hand disapprovingly. The transaction here seemed illogical, but in fact it was easy to see the routine.

First of all, Stephen Jackson expressed his desire to join the Pacers last summer, but the Pacers had no choice but to give up because they had no salary space.

Therefore, "Martial Saint" and the Eagle only signed a contract for one year. To put it bluntly, they just found a place to hang out and ride the donkey to find the horse.

Then this year, it turned out that the Pacers not only failed to make room, but also took the garbage contract of Potapenko sent from Seattle.

How to fix it? Bird can only join forces with Jackson to cause trouble.

They forced the Eagles to renew Jackson's contract first, claiming: "If you let Jackson go elsewhere as a free agent, you will get nothing."

The Hawks really don't want to lose a quasi-All-Star player who averages 18 points per game.

And the Eagles, who are rebuilding, really need potential stocks and draft picks.

Thus, the sign-and-trade deal was concluded.

Jackson got his wish and got a contract worthy of his worth and came to Indianapolis.

And the Eagle, well, although the value of the chips he got was a little lower, it was better than nothing.

Anyway, they are rebuilding the team, they just want a bad record, and it doesn't matter if they take a big contract that is about to expire.

Terry has been sent away, Abdul-Rahim has been sent away, and now Jackson has been dealt with, Eagle Sauce can be put on good display.

Schwartz made this analysis, and Wayne also thought it made sense.

He is indeed an old liar. No one understands the old liar better than the old liar.

With this move, Bird vented his anger at being cheated by Wally Walker.

"What? I think you seem to be very interested in Stephen?"

"No, no, I'm just curious." Wayne waved his hands quickly. He was afraid it was too late. Are you interested?

Thinking that he would be caught in the middle of this group of violent people in a month, Wayne really felt that he might as well buy more insurance.

"Hahaha, take a good rest. We'll start shooting the commercial in the afternoon. This shooting is quite important, so adjust well."

"Well, speaking of it, the theme of this advertisement is to showcase the young stars of Nike. Unexpectedly, the basketball side actually invited me."

Wayne touched his chin. The plan said that this time he would invite rising stars from football, tennis and basketball to shoot commercials together.

It’s a little flex of Nike’s muscles to the outside world.

James is actually a rising star. It stands to reason that it would be more appropriate to invite him to the basketball field.

But he was busy filming his own exclusive commercials, and sure enough, he also scored a star in the commercials.

In the afternoon, Wayne arrived at the commercial shooting scene accompanied by Schwartz.

It was Wayne's first time filming a TV commercial, so seeing the huge filming team was still a bit strange.

After entering the dressing room, Wayne saw two people, a man and a woman, who had already begun to put on makeup.

Hearing movement at the door, the two of them turned to take a look.

Then, Wayne was petrified.

Why do I feel like I am the smallest person here?

"Hello." The man first greeted Wayne with a smile, looking at the beautiful hairstyle and delicate face.

Well, it's him.

At this time, Cristiano Ronaldo had just landed in the Premier League and had only been with Manchester United for one season.

Now, people don't like to call him Cristiano Ronaldo. Of course, they don't call him Diving Ronaldo but prefer to call him Ronaldo.

Uh, next person.

The woman on the other end was obviously not as enthusiastic as Ronaldo, but she raised the corners of her mouth politely and said softly: "Hi."

Of course, Wayne also knew this woman.

She is Maria Sharapova who had just defeated the American star Serena Williams at Wimbledon and won the championship in an upset. Since then, she has become popular in the tennis world and has become uncontrollably popular.

One will be a man at the top of football in the future, and the other will be the most successful female tennis player in history.

One is the MOP of the Final Four, which the NBA has not even played a serious game.

Wayne waved his hand mechanically: "Hello, guys."

Although Ronaldo and Sharapova are indeed newcomers now, especially Sharapova, Wayne remembers that she was only 17 this year when she won the championship for the first time.

But Cristiano Ronaldo has already entered the Premier League, and Sharapova also won the first Grand Slam championship in her career.

Only Wayne has made a name for himself in college basketball.

As soon as Wayne sat down, Ronaldo chatted with Wayne enthusiastically.

Compared with the one who just debuted in Barcelona at this time, Ronaldo's character is indeed much more lively and outgoing.

Of course, Wayne and Ronaldo were basically chatting awkwardly. Wayne estimated that Ronaldo didn't know him at all and had only looked at his profile ten minutes ago.

But maybe it was to show friendship, maybe it was to liven up the atmosphere, in short, it was just chatting with Wayne.

Wayne and Ronaldo "had a great conversation" on one side, but on the other side, 17-year-old Sharapova was silent.

She doesn't seem to like to talk hard, and would rather not speak than pretend to have a good relationship. She just politely adds a few words, smiles, or nods from time to time.

Don't tell me, Mao Mei does mature quickly.

Wayne observed for a while. Although Sharapova was only 17 now, she looked no different from a young woman in her twenties.

If you hadn't told her, Wayne would never have guessed that she was only 17.

After putting on makeup, the commercial shooting officially started.

In fact, the creative idea of ​​this advertisement is very simple, which is to integrate three people and three sports.

First, Ronaldo ran with the ball, and then made a long pass.

As soon as the camera turned, Ronaldo's long pass turned into a tennis ball and was knocked away by Sharapova.

Then the tennis ball gradually turns into a basketball during the flight, Wayne catches the ball, dunks the ball into the basket, and the commercial ends.

After the session, the three of them had to pose with their hands on their hips.

Finally, the screen went black and the tick mark appeared, followed by the following sentence: "Gasteduit!"

The filming of the entire advertisement is also very simple, because the connecting parts of the three sports are basically completed with special effects, and each player only needs to do his or her own part well.

The only time the three of them really needed to cooperate was in the final pose.

The workload is not heavy, and Wayne still finds it quite new and interesting, so he is not tired at all.

That's it? You can get 28 million in three years just by buying these fancy gadgets?

This is probably the legendary way of making money while standing.

After the filming, C. Luo, an enthusiastic young man, suggested that everyone give a fist bump to celebrate the completion of the commercial.

"Long live youth!" Ronaldo shouted during the fist bump.

Only then did Wayne realize that he seemed to be the oldest among the three.

It breaks my heart, old man.

During the fist bump, Wayne and Sharapova accidentally glanced at each other.

Wayne admitted that he was looking at the girl at the time, but he didn’t expect her to suddenly look up.

Wayne didn't know whether to continue looking or to look away.

In the end, Sharapova eased the awkwardness with her trademark polite smile.

Just like that, Wayne's first TV commercial shoot ended.

Of course, there is no bloody plot where the three people become good friends from then on.

After they broke up, everyone basically went their separate ways. After all, each other could only be said to be a little better than strangers.

This advertisement will also enter the Chinese market by then. Now Wayne knows why he was chosen for basketball.

Wayne had just returned to the dressing room to collect his things and leave. When he picked up his phone, he saw an unread text message on his phone from an unknown number.

The content of the text message made Wayne think that he had offended someone.

"Why don't you say hello when you come to my place? When you're done, just call me and we'll meet."
