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

At this time, Wayne, who was sitting in the hotel room, was looking 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-trade is done, Stephen Jackson joins the Indiana Pacers!"

"Larry Brown: He can fit seamlessly into a team that has a similar style to his."

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

"Donnie Walsh: Believe Jackson can succeed 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.

Damn it...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 a first-round draft pick in 2006 to trick Jackson.

Sure enough, Bird recovered everything he had been cheated by Wally Walker with the Hawks.

The NBA is really a big and friendly family!

Eagles general manager Billy Knight: A gangster cries.Jpg.

How pitiful is this deal?

Austin Clothier, you may not have heard of this person at all, but you only need to know one thing - he is the second-highest-paid player on the Pacers team, second only to O'Neal!

But what were his statistics last season? He made 77 substitute appearances, 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, had a rebounding record and a three-point shooting percentage of 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 money wasted. Closier's performance has gotten worse and worse since then, and now he is basically in the state of receiving an early pension.

The lessons of history constantly warn us: "Impulse is the devil's mother."

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

This contract has made it difficult for the Pacers 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 beaten 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 acquired Stephen Jackson, who averaged comprehensive offensive methods per game last season, was tough on defense, and had great fighting skills. He was 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... was this done?" 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 Eagle's 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" only signed a contract with the Eagle 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 accepted the garbage contract of Portapenko sent from Seattle.

So what's the deal? Bird can only team up 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 obtained is a little lower, it is better than nothing.

Anyway, they are rebuilding the team, and they just want a bad record, so 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, so 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 hand quickly. He was afraid it was too late. Interested?

Thinking that he would be among this group of violent people in a month... Wayne really felt that otherwise he should buy more insurance.

"Hahaha, let's 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, so it stands to reason that it would be more appropriate to hire him for basketball.

But he was busy filming his own exclusive commercials... As expected, he also scored points when filming commercials.

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

It was Wayne's first time filming a TV commercial, so it was a bit strange to see the huge filming team.

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.

How do you feel... 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.

Nowadays, people don’t like to call him Cristiano Ronaldo, and 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 politely raised the corners of her mouth 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 yet to play 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 enthusiastically with Wayne.

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 probably just looked at his profile ten minutes ago.

But maybe it was to show friendship, maybe it was to liven up the atmosphere, but in short, he was just talking nonsense with Wayne.
