241: The high school rookie who attracted much attention because of Shea? The scoring champion’s star status is challenged!
"Reward: Superior Drift (Purple).
Effect: Greatly enhances the host’s feel and stability when drifting and shooting.”
The narrative for this new reward is very short, but as we all know, shorter text usually means bigger things!
After completing his mission to become the scoring champion, Shay got such a shooting badge from Jordan.
As we all know, it is no exaggeration to say that Jordan's mid-range shooting skills are the best in history.
From any angle, in any posture, facing any defense, Jordan can steadily shoot the ball.
This is also where Jordan kills the most.
If Jordan also has a system, then all of his mid-range shooting badges should be full.
Therefore, Shea was not surprised at all when he found a badge related to CIC from Jordan.
And this badge is like offering a seafood feast to a hungry bachelor, it simply solves an urgent need!
Shea is now in the mid-range, and the biggest problem is that he has too few skills in holding the ball and making mid-range shots.
Basically there is only one Golden Rooster independent fadeaway jumper.
However, the Golden Rooster's independent fadeaway jumper is essentially a back-to-the-basket skill. With Shay holding the ball and facing the frame, the power of the mid-range shot will be greatly limited.
This is also Shay's biggest shortcoming on the offensive end now, besides three-pointers.
Shay can also shoot pull-up jumpers and drift shots with the ball in the frame, but they are unstable. They cannot be used as conventional weapons or as a means of killing.
In the playoffs where defense is strictly enforced, this will undoubtedly become a fatal flaw for Shay.
But now, after getting the purple drift shot badge, Shay's ability to face up to the frame and hit the mid-range shot has gone to a whole new level!
Of course, the drift shot is very difficult, so regardless of the blessing of the purple badge, the hit rate will definitely not be as good as an ordinary jump shot.
The purple badge only makes Shay's drift shot more accurate, but it does not mean that it will always hit the target.
But Shay at least has another scoring method.
As the saying goes, if you have many good skills, you won't be overwhelmed. With the drift shot close to him, Shay has one more way to kill the game!
Shea is already the scoring leader in the regular season, and in the playoffs, Shea's scoring ability will be even more terrifying!
After getting the badge, Shay can't wait to show off his talents in the playoffs.
Before Shai dominated the playoffs, he had already dominated the sneaker market.
With the college and high school games over, with Allen Iverson determined to skip his junior and senior years to participate in the NBA draft, and with the historical iron king also announcing that he would skip college and bring his talent to the NBA.
Shay finally officially signed a brand endorsement contract with AI and Kobe!
The endorsement fee for the two of them is 5 million a year, and they signed the contract for 8 years!
Pippen cried and fainted in the bathroom!
Two little guys who have not yet entered the league and have not played a professional game, their annual endorsement fee is already close to 2 cents!
Is there any more royal law? Is there any more law!?
Shay, do you still need a godson!?
Pi Er is willing to worship you as his sponsor father!
Jordan? As long as the sponsor’s father says a word, I will immediately sever the master-servant relationship with him!
Not only Pippen, but the entire basketball circle was shocked by these two endorsement contracts.
Is Shea so generous? 5 million a year. How many players don't have 5 million a year in salary?
And Shay actually used the money to find two young children.
Although both AI and Kobe are very famous now, it is still unknown whether they can play well.
If AI and Kobe are ignored by everyone after entering the league, and Shea signed an 8-year endorsement contract with 5 million in one go, then everything will be in vain.
Many people are laughing at Shay for having no business acumen, and sooner or later his money will be wiped out.
But Shay himself isn't worried about this at all.
Because he knows very well that not only can those two people fight, but they can also bring benefits to him immediately!
In addition to Kobe and Shay, Shay actually signed a contract with a singer.
It's just that the singer with the stage name Eminem is really not famous, so no one reported this matter at all.
Lose? It’s so funny, Shay is already thinking about throwing Dogecoin on the bed and eating a fruit plate in the future!
Iverson is already very well-known, and his private relationship with Shay is well known, so signing for 5 million will not actually increase AI's reputation much.
But Kobe is different. Previously, the only high school rookie who had succeeded in the league was Moses Malone.
Garnett of the 76ers? The guy who was scared to death by Shai?
He does have some potential, but at present, it remains to be seen whether he can succeed.
Moreover, Kobe doesn't have as good a physical condition as Garnett. He is less than 2 meters tall and his hands are still small. How can he compare with Garnett?
Although there were rumors before that Kobe defeated NBA player Brian Shaw one-on-one and also defeated Jordan's junior Stackhouse.
But people are still not that optimistic about Kobe at this time. People think he may be able to become a qualified NBA player, but a star? Not likely!
What's more, after the Clippers tried out Kobe Bryant, they said: "If we draft a 17-year-old kid, we will become a joke in the entire basketball world."
I have to say that Baylor is basically on an equal footing with Jordan in terms of the draft.
Even slightly better than Jordan!
In this regard, Lord Baylor can be the first for once!
In short, Kobe has never been a rookie candidate as famous as Iverson.
But after Shea signed Kobe for 5 million, the popularity of Kobe, who was previously "unremarkable", skyrocketed.
Many teams that are likely to receive high draft picks are beginning to pay more and more attention to this high school guard.
What Xie spent was not 5 yuan, not 5,000, but 5 million!
No, 5 million x 8 years, this is 40 million!
There must be a reason why he spent so much money to sign Kobe, right? He must think Kobe is worth the price, right?
Moreover, before the Lakers drafted Madman and Finley, they all followed Shea's advice. This was something the Logo Man said to the media more than once.
Facts have also proved that both Madman and Finlay have performed much better than predicted.
Therefore, Shay, who has a vicious eye, is now optimistic about Kobe.
This inevitably makes people begin to re-evaluate Kobe's potential.
As for Jordan, he had no interest in a rookie at the same position as himself.
At this time, he was deeply attracted by a center nicknamed "Bus".
Produced by Georgetown University, Shay is a fellow student and compatriot of Shay.
Last season, as AI's deputy, he averaged 16+12 per game and played fierce defense.
The most important thing is that this powerful guy is good at wrestling!
At first, Jordan had no interest in Chinese players.
But as soon as he heard that Bus could wrestle and that he once knocked down Mourning with one hand when he was a freshman, Jordan immediately exclaimed: "We must choose him! Then I will drive my Ferrari to pick him up!"
Jordan really doesn’t want to be chased and beaten on the court anymore. That’s not elegant!
How can a tyrant not have a few guards with swords around him?
As the regular season ends, there is gradually more news about the rookies.
But now, after all, it’s time for the playoffs!
Most people are still more concerned about the playoff matchups.
The news about the rookies is just an adjustment, the playoffs are the real focus.
The all-powerful 72-win Bulls are almost unanimously expected to reach the finals.
There are currently only two teams in the entire Eastern Conference that can threaten the Bulls, and that is the Pacers and Magic.
However, because one is third and the other is second, the Pacers and Magic are destined to be eliminated early before they meet the Bulls.
To put it bluntly, the Bulls will only feel a little pressure after reaching the Eastern Conference Finals.
Moreover, the Pacers and Magic can only put a little pressure on the Bulls.
It is generally believed that the probability of these two teams overturning the Bulls is not high.
The real fun is out west!
