: Fighting Lao He

"It's ridiculous. Wu is not satisfied with the 10 million US dollars a year. Who do he think he is!"

"Damn it! Ten million yuan? I'm right, is this Chinese guy worth the signing fee of ten million yuan per year?"

On Thursday, November 19, and before Friday, rumors about Wu Di's quotation on the Internet were already spreading.

Ten million US dollars is an unattainable wealth for many people throughout their lives, but Wu Di actually dislikes...

Netizens who had already beaten up the jealous bottle due to Meghan's scandal were fiercely controversial on the Internet:

"Jie James became famous in high school, and it was difficult for Wu to join the Russian state school team. Can such a person be compared with James?"

"That's right, fans have turned into black, and they have only played a few games. If you can compare data with bad teams like the Cavaliers, you can compare with James?"

"The Heat won 8 wins and 3 losses, and the winning rate is almost half higher than the Cavaliers' 50%! King James's ability to lead the team is crushing the Minions!"

"The one upstairs, you can't compete like this. You can see at the beginning of the season that the league really wants to help the Minions. The Heat play the Celtics, the Spurs and other powerful teams, the Cavaliers, either the Raptors or the Wizards, and they lose when playing against the Wizards!"

"Damn it, can you stop talking about the Wizards? Brother Wall's performance may not be able to beat the Lakers, and it is not easy to beat the Cavaliers?"

"Stop talking about it, Brother Qiang's endorsement is only 5 million US dollars. Can Wu Di's performance be comparable to the two Brothers?"

"Oh, Griffin's endorsement is only 500,000 US dollars, it's simply free. Hold Safen tight..."

"Haha, Wu is just a player who has been helped by the league. Not to mention anything else, can the whistle be more obvious when he comes back to fight against the Grizzlies? In the end, it's only two points away. If it weren't for that T, the Grizzlies would lose? Trash!"

"Now Yao's retreat, Wu is the league's own son. As soon as he rushed in, he had a whistle. He could whistle even if he blew a few words of trash. What else can I see in this game?"

"Yes, there is no technology at all. With this whistle protector, I can also get 20+ per game!"

"You can see what level you can do when you play against the Nets. You only scored 18 points when you have firmly saved the ball. Not to mention 10 million, this data is even more than 5 million!"

"Well, young people nowadays know that Kobe has only 9 million in FMVP!"

"Miniels played five games and were injured and seven games away. Haha, this glass man attribute, first play for a full season before competing with James!"

"Yes, the top talent is the talent that is not hurt, obviously Wu doesn't!"

"No one can sign with him. Nike will never wear Nike again if he dares to sign. Adidas will burn his jerseys just by trying to sign!"

"Yes, that's it! Let him find the copycat brand of China!"

"Hahaha, that Chinese Jordan is quite suitable for him, the copycat emperor, the garbage minion!"

...

This topic was exposed by people with ulterior motives, and several fans instantly had an outlet for venting, and they all slandered Wu Di online.

For a time, Wu Di became an arrogant newcomer who had no skills in playing basketball and liked to be a big shot, and his personal image was seriously damaged.

However, Wu Di is no longer the little transparent person who just entered the league and was allowed to control him!

His Twitter followers have exceeded 15 million. Although the number of loyal fans is not as good as James and others, this time he stood up without hesitation to maintain Wu Di's image:

"Although the Cavaliers' current record is 6 wins and 6 losses, Wu's five games played were a complete victory. If he did not have the ability to lead the team, what is the ability to lead the team?"

"Can you get bad at the Nets play? There are 14 assists after 18 points, and the shooting percentage is over 60%. I can't tell if I want to run in with the team? I'm really selectively blind!"

"Haha, I'm also going to be a fan and black guy. I'll know what you are like when I hear King James!"

"That's right, even Zhan Paopao can be called King James? The nomadic dynasty? The Knight Wu Emperor is the orthodox!"

"Don't mention Shafen's value. He is stupid. Who can you blame? Wu's skill is worth 5 million, his brain is worth 5 million, and his face is worth 5 million. I think it's okay to have 15 million. 10 million is really too little!"

"That's right, you can't even use the value of your face. Old Zhan was worth 13 million back then. Wu at least defeated Old Zhan in the previous games, and he was sending the beggar 10 million!"

"Bogote was injured, and he blamed Wu? He said that he was the same as Bogote for his injury!"

...

The two people quarreled online and exploded, but the brand owners had their own ulterior motives and none of them came out to clarify.

To clarify, things have happened, and it just happened to take advantage of this wave of momentum to kill Wu Di.

The NBA executives are even more happy to see this topic getting more and more explosive.

Because having topics means having ratings. As long as they are not topics like banned drugs that affect the alliance's ecological health, they are not happy yet.

The media rushed towards this traffic feast like hungry wolves, and analyzed the current situation of the Knight and Wu Di according to this topic:

"The Cavaliers' current record is indeed too easy to be questioned. They were the first in the Eastern Conference last season, but the ranking of this season is in the playoffs. Moreover, the first games are all weak teams, so it will only become more and more difficult later! This is too far from their promise to compete for the championship at the beginning of the season!"

"To be honest, Wu's performance this month is remarkable, but the shortcomings of the Cavaliers' lineup are also obvious. The inside line is weak, the main players are aging, and the bench is not deep enough. These are not enough to support Wu Di to lead the Cavaliers to complete revenge."

"In the past series, the Heat led by James reversed the defending champion Lakers away with a score of 96:80, but the Cavaliers will have to go through the completely opposite situation when facing the Lakers at home."

"Although the two teams had encountered preseason and the Cavaliers unexpectedly won the preseason, it was just a warm-up exhibition match. Wu Di played for three quarters as the main player of the Cavaliers, while the main player of the Lakers only played for one quarter, which is not very meaningful for reference."

"The difference between the Cavaliers' performance in the regular season and the Lakers is still too big. Jordan Jr. was beaten up against Gasol Jr., and facing the All-Star center Gasol will only be more difficult! Although Jamison has performed efficiently in recent games, his independent offensive ability is limited, and his aging body cannot adapt to high-intensity confrontation, he will be limited by Odom..."

"The only hope of the Cavaliers is Wu Di, but Wu Di's defenseman is Artest, who has won the best defender. Even defense master Kobe may come out to defend himself. Coupled with Gasol's superb defense ability, Wu Di's offense is powerless no matter how spiritual he is, he will become powerless."

"In the game against the Lakers, James scored a gorgeous triple-double with 27 points, 11 rebounds and 10 assists, with a shooting percentage of up to 57.1%, leading the Heat to win easily. Compared with James, Wu Di has a much worse offensive efficiency and his ability to connect teammates is one level worse. Although it makes Wu and James now, sports competition is so cruel. Besides, the slogan of revenge was proposed by the Cavaliers themselves, so no one else's fault..."

The outside world was arguing endlessly, but Wu Di was busy having the final negotiation with Under Armour. After Silin secretly reported the message to him, he and Arina had been thinking about how to crack the situation.

He is still too young now, doesn't play many games, and has won very few honors, so no matter what kind of speech he uses to defend himself, he is suspected of being distorted.

After all, this is a commercial contract negotiation of tens of millions of US dollars. If he cannot continue this performance, the brand owner will definitely suffer a lot.

Although the Chinese market is important, it is not up to him to decide on the Chinese market. Moreover, Yao Dayao has proved that the role of Chinese faces in adding brands is very limited.

But they can only grit their teeth and strive for higher prices, because only by negotiating higher prices with the brand as soon as possible can it mean that he is not a big shot, but is really worth the price.

Just like PepsiCo's endorsement, with this $5 million contract as the foundation, major sports brands increased their contracts to $10 million without saying a word.

If Wu Di can directly negotiate a contract of $15 million this time, he will be able to slap those netizens in the face who say he is not worth $10 million!

After a few quick rounds of communication with the brand owner, he and Arina found that Under Arthur had the best conditions and the most sincere negotiation attitude, so they focused their energy on negotiations with Under Arthur's marketing director Lydia Hurst.

"For 8 years, $104 million, an independent sub-brand, plus other honorary awards, you will never find a second contract in the market!"

At the negotiating table, Hurst looked angry. Although President Under Armour had already expressed that he had given her the highest authority, the price of this contract had reached its limit, which was 13 million US dollars more than the previous contract Nike reported to James!

However, Wu Di was still not satisfied!

"This is our final offer. You only have half an hour to decide whether to accept this offer!"

After Hurst said that, he took all Under Armour's negotiators out of the conference room, and she wanted to put extreme pressure on Wu Di.

The conference room fell into silence instantly, and Arina subconsciously loosened the collar of her shirt. This was a contract worth hundreds of millions!

If you exchange 100 million US dollars, you can exchange it for more than 3,000 kilograms...

You should know that this summer, Jordan spent $275 million to buy the Bobcats, and the Nets only $223 million to buy the Bobcats...

With so much money, it's enough to buy half a team. This is the ultimate dream of many athletes...

Moreover, such a contract amount is enough to slap those online trolls in the face!

But Wu Di still refused!

Not to mention whether the rejection was reasonable or not, just this courage alone convinced her.

Although she comes from a prominent and established capital family, the wealth represented by this contract has reached a point where no one can ignore it.

Even if their Rockefeller family has passed down to this day, there may not be so much cash in the legacy left to her generation...

"Boss, what do you think?"

Arina asked after taking a sip of water. Although she felt that the price had reached her psychological expectations, she must now be dominated by Wu Di, otherwise she might be defeated one by one by one by Under Armour.

Wu Di stood up and looked at the night outside the window, feeling a lot of emotion in his heart.

He was boarding at Turner's house last year and even worked in a pizza shop, but now, a brand owner has asked him to sign a $100 million contract...

With this 100 million US dollars, he can like Jordan, with endless Ferrari and Bugatti, and even buy a private plane and raise a group of beautiful crews...

However, none of this is important than revenge Riley!

Because he never wants to be a rich but without dignity!

Moreover, no matter how fragrant a 100 million US dollars is, it does not have the systematic "unbreakable badge" fragrance!

This is the real priceless treasure!

If you want to get the injury-free badge, you have to win the championship...

You have to quickly krypton gold!

Since Pepsi signed with him at a sky-high price, it has been difficult for him to receive a new endorsement contract in a short period of time.

Brands like Mengniu Yili have a 5 million USD a year that is far beyond their ability to bear, and they can't afford it.

The companies that can afford to provide are insurance and telecommunications companies, but this is a traditional industry. The concept of choosing a spokesperson is still very different from the pursuit of a younger Pepsi Coke.

Wu Di can only strive for such a company with honors such as MVP or championship.

Therefore, this season, the only endorsement he can win is probably this sneaker contract.

Therefore, he must strive to get more signing fees, otherwise he will lose 1 million and 1 talent point at that time, which may lead to losing the playoffs:

"There is no need to pursue a false reputation like "billion yuan contract". For us, the unit price means the value. US$15 million a year is the bottom line, which can shorten the contract period, but there must be a signing bonus, and the dividends can also be completely included in the reward terms."

...

The negotiations ended unhappily, and after Hurst left, he called Under Armour President Kevin Plank:

"Kevin, I'm sorry that I couldn't negotiate Wu. Their asking price was too much. Even if we signed it, the price we paid was too high..."

"They proposed equity incentives are not too much. The initial equity incentives are 0, the best rookie, the All-Star, the best defensive player are all 0.125%, the MVP, the scoring champion, and the FMVP are all 0.25%..."

"It is impossible to get all these honors. Jordan can no longer be produced in this era... Well, the problem lies in the 4-year 60 million US dollars, and there is also a signing bonus of 10 million US dollars. This asking price is not sincere at all..."

"What, do you want to see tomorrow's game again? I don't think it's necessary..."

...

November 20

On the Cavaliers and Lakers’ match day, Cavaliers’ players’ exclusive parking area.

"Hey Boss, the car is so cool!"

Jordan Little poked his head out of a Mercedes-Benz GLC and said to Wu Di, who had just walked out of the Mercedes-Benz G63.

"Do you like the big G?"

Wu Di closed the car door, and the crisp sound of a rifle loading sounded, making Jordan Jordan fall in love with him.

This is actually Meghan's car, and he drove out for a ride.

As an old fan of the Lakers and a new fan of the Cavaliers, Meghan did not want to see the competition between the two teams, so he stayed at home and did not draw, which gave Wu Di the chance.

"Who doesn't like it?"

Jordan Jordan drooled, and against the 2.11-meter-tall height, the GLC was as small as a toy car.

He parked the car and walked over with envy. He had long wanted to buy a big G, which was his Dreamcar!

But his salary has not increased, and he has a mortgage to pay, so he really can't afford such a luxury car.

Seeing him like this, Wu Di patted his shoulder and smiled:

"I will perform well today. If I am happy, I will take you to the 4S store tomorrow to pick up one!"

"Ah? Really?"

Jordan jumped up excitedly and dug a trench!

What is the boss of the team?

What is a team leader?

Wu Di is so generous!

His boss is really in vain!

Wu Di waved his hand to signal him to calm down.

It's just a big G, which is only about 200,000 US dollars in the United States. If he can play well today, he will earn more than that amount of money.

"Boss, how can you make you happy?"

Jordan, little, took a small step in his heart and asked next to Wu Di.

"Of course I win the game!"

Jordan staggered when he heard this, and he stumbled on the spot for a long time, then squeezed up with a sad face and said:

"Boss, don't make you happy with me in the future... We played against the defending champion Lakers today!"

Wu Di stopped and immediately knocked him away with his shoulder:

"So what about defending champion? I'm playing the defending champion!"

Jordan, looking at Wu Di's arrogant back, couldn't help but be shocked. Damn, the boss is too crazy!

He thought it would be good to lose decently today, but Wu Di actually thought about winning...

And this tone seemed to have been saved in my hands!

...

"Byron, you wouldn't have let Wu use that move today, right?"

Lakers head coach Feier Jackson looked at Kobe and Wu Di who were talking on the court, and put on his glasses and mocked Scott.

When he was the Bulls' head coach, Scott was just a player.

However, this guy's defense is of top-notch effect in the league, and of course, he relies on "kneeling and licking" defense.

"Haha, why, I'm so unconfident in my triangular offensive tactics?"

Scott smiled and rebeled at the army. After seeing Wu Di's performance in the regular season, he certainly would not let Wu Di inherit his mantle.

He actually has a brilliant past, with the fourth pick in the first round in 1983, the first team of the best rookie team, and the Lakers with Magic, Worthy, and Jabbar, firmly sitting in the starting point guard, winning three championships...

But Wu Di deserves a stronger role model, that is, the basketball god he licked at the time, Michael Jordan!

And Jordan is the king of trash talk!

In fact, Wu Di was talking to Kobe:

"Old Hedou, don't leave after the competition later!"

That's right, he wants the league to fight Kobe, the active team, to fight him one-on-one!

During the China Games before, he had spent more than 4 million dollars in one night, which made him still not satisfied.

Kobe's eyelids hopped, but others didn't know. When he watched Wu Di's game video, he knew who the source manufacturer of the "Wu Di's back-play jump shot collection" that was very popular online recently.

After talking on the phone with the old hooligan, the victim was found.

Wu Di’s learning talent is so terrible. He doesn’t want to be caught by this kid again and learn secretly:

"You kid was not enough when I was abused last time? But I was enough! And you guys can only learn my skills secretly, so I won't fight you one-on-one!"

"Who is more interested in your iron-smashing skills!"

Wu Di smiled and continued to mock him, if it were an ordinary person, he might no longer want to fight him alone, but this is Kobe, and if you are excited, you might be able to do it!

Kobe glanced at him, then pressed his waist and refused again:

"You are not qualified to fight me in one go! Let's win against my defeated LeBron first!"

Wu Di laughed instead of anger:

"You're scared, Lao Hedou! It's okay, we will win the game tonight, and it depends on what excuses you have!"

Kobe's eyes narrowed, "What a guy, how dare he be so arrogant?"

It's lawless!

"Bad! If you can win, I will agree to fight you one-on-one! But that's impossible!"
