"If I remember correctly, the previous gold coins should be 2,500, so this time the rookie card and CAMEL endorsement salary should be 250 gold coins after tax deduction."

"A total of 2,750 gold coins is enough for me to buy a large piece of equipment."

What makes Zhang Jun slightly regretful is that even though he has entered the NBA and even though he has played against stars like James, Iverson, and Anthony on the court, his upgrade is still very slow.

Everything about this system is good, but the upgrade is too slow and not user-friendly at all.

"Fortunately, I can still cheat. As long as I receive enough endorsements quickly and quickly, the more salary I get, the more abilities I can acquire through equipment."

Zhang Jun couldn't help but think that if he got into the Liushen costume one day at level 10, he would probably scare everyone to death if he went out.

"I have upgraded my shoes to the full level before. As a qualified midfielder, my support ability and speed are considered to be qualified and up to standard. Next, it is time to increase my damage."

"After all, no matter how quick the support is, there will be no harm. If you go over, you will be a super soldier. Instead, your teammates who should be able to escape will be left to die."

"So, I must buy an output device this time!"

After making up his mind, Zhang Jun looked directly at the piece of equipment in the transparent frame in front of him, which happened to be 2,750 gold coins, and he shouted excitedly.

"It's you, Sunfire Cloak!"

Once upon a time on the battlefield of League of Legends, Zhang Jun used Yasuo to reveal a Sunfire Cloak immediately after taking out his shoes. This operation directly scared the other nine people to tremble.

This piece of equipment can cause damage to enemies around him every second. If a squishy hero stands in front of Yasuo, he will burp in less than a minute.

Moreover, if the opponent stands nearby for more than a certain amount of time, he will suffer a burst of damage, which can be described as terrifying.

"Of course, because this League of Legends system simulates the NBA environment, I'm afraid there will be some modifications in values ​​and abilities, but as long as there are no drastic changes, it should be perfect for me."

"Otherwise, it would be too unsightly to spend so much money on something worthless."

At this time, the transparent frame in front of him also changed, and all the abilities and attributes of Sun Flame Cloak were displayed in front of Zhang Jun.

[Sunfire Cloak: Confrontation increased by 4 points, defense increased by 4 points, skill sacrifice (when the opponent defends closely or exerts physical confrontation, he will encounter 2 times the confrontation damage and confrontation penalty)]

Zhang Jun nodded with satisfaction.

During this period, almost all NBA teams used physical confrontation to defend him. The head coaches of those teams thought that he was a rookie who was easy to bully, and Zhang Jun was not very heavy for his height and was not very strong. So they all thought Zhang Jun was a soft persimmon.

"However, Bowen of the Spurs, James of the Cavaliers, and Eduardo Najera and Nene of the Suns did use this method to reduce my offensive efficiency."

"My mid-range shooting is not so strong that it is suffocating, so the offense under confrontation will still have a big impact on me."

"The Sunfire Cloak is a timely blessing. With it, players who want to fight against me will have to consider whether they can withstand twice my attack."

...........

On the second day, Xia He was holding the drawings for the construction team to rebuild the swimming pool.

Zhang Jun looked at her speechlessly from the side. This little girl did nothing all day long and even asked herself to hand in her salary card. In the end, she spent all her money on such things.

But think about it carefully. Portland has a Mediterranean climate and a temperate maritime climate. It is nicknamed the City of Roses. Winters are warm and summers are hot. June to September is the driest season in Portland, with an average monthly rainfall of only 25 mm. Sometimes there is little or no rainfall.

How can you live without a swimming pool in this environment? Moreover, Portland has hot weather for more than 5 months all year round. Xia He is now installing a constant temperature system for the swimming pool. It is estimated that she will have 6 , can swim at 7 months.

After fantasizing about Xia He swimming, Zhang Jun nodded frequently.

"In fact, it doesn't cost much to rebuild a swimming pool."

Zhang Jun, who was imagining, suddenly heard local Portland news playing on the TV in the room behind him. Zach Randolph and his agent held a press conference.

His agent faced countless reporters and accused the Trail Blazers management and coaching staff of hiding Randolph and benching him for no reason. In fact, Randolph did not have any injury risks at all.

What Randolph's agent meant was to tell the entire NBA team that Randolph was not happy at all in Portland and you could trade him.

In the Blazers general manager's office, Steve Patterson, who has been shrewd all his life, was furious, and confetti was flying throughout the room.

"That bastard, how could he say these things to others at this time!"

"Now the whole league knows that we will definitely trade Zach Randolph. It would be strange if we don't squeeze all the trading chips!"

Although Nate McMillan has never experienced management-level trading, he still understands the difference between active trading and passive trading.

If the Trail Blazers quietly contact other teams and release the idea of ​​​​trading Zach Randolph step by step, then his quasi-All-Star strength will naturally attract the other parties to take the bait.

When the time comes, after playing and singing to the extreme, the Trail Blazers will be able to trade Zach Randolph with satisfaction after harvesting satisfactory chips.

But now, the Trail Blazers' idea of ​​​​trading Randolph has been made public. All management in the league know that Randolph will not stay with the Trail Blazers for a long time. Staying any longer will either destroy the atmosphere and unity in the locker room, or destroy the team. The team was in a frenzy.

So in this case, they were not in a hurry.

Trading players in the NBA is much more troublesome than buying food at the market.

Steve Patterson couldn't help but punched the desk and said angrily: "I originally wanted to trade Randolph for a strong player + draft picks, but now I'm afraid this plan will be ruined."

Nate McMillan sighed and said: "Randolph's temper is already well-known among all NBA management teams, and now that something like this has happened, they will definitely use this condition as a threat to reduce our trade expectations."

"We are in a very passive position now."

Steve Patterson's mind started spinning quickly at this time. He analyzed carefully and said: "Randolph's contract is a maximum salary contract, but it is almost impossible to exchange him for a player of equal or greater ability. , because of his bad temper."

"But no matter how big his contract is, I'm afraid it will take more than two players to make it even. But if these two players are both good players, if they are used together to exchange for Randolph, the opponent will probably be unwilling to do so."

"What's more, now that Randolph has preemptively announced that he wants to trade, and we are still in such a passive situation, it may be even more impossible."

"So, we are afraid that we have to accept a garbage contract before we can execute the deal for him."

Steve Patterson's analysis was very fast, and he also quickly clarified the direction of the Randolph trade. After the original vision of strong players + draft picks was ruined, strong players + junk contracts may become this deal. The subject of the transaction.

What Steve Patterson needs to think about now is how to obtain greater benefits for the team under this main body, such as giving the team a junk contract or fighting for a second-round draft pick. This is all feasible.

Nate McMillan did not forget to remind: "We need a shooting-type space-based inside line."

"Damn it!"

Steve Patterson almost forgot that there was such a trade. This kind of purposeful transaction narrowed the scope of the Blazers' trades. Other teams may not be willing to do this, so he can operate it. The space is even smaller.

.........

In the Trail Blazers locker room, the team is about to usher in its second consecutive home game against the Sacramento Kings.

Travis Outlaw looked at Zhang Jun with a flattering smile and said: "Brother Jun, if you score 30+ points tonight, you will increase the rookie's record of consecutive 30+ points to 8 games. "

"This is amazing, even those All-Star players are not all able to score 30+ points in 8 consecutive games."

Zhang Jun looked very surprised when he looked at Travis Outlaw, who came over to have a relationship with him for no reason.

If he remembers well, the entire Trail Blazers team, Travis Outlaw and Randolph, didn't like themselves very much.

But when he thought of Randolph, he understood the reason. Travis Outlaw was Randolph's little follower. Before, he was the highest paid and leading scorer in the team, so he was right. Entering the Trail Blazers as the No. 1 pick, he was stepped on and belittled in various ways.

Now that it is clear that Randolph will be traded by the Trail Blazers, coupled with Zhang Jun's continued efficient performance on the court, even Travis Outlaw should understand at this time, no matter how stupid he is.

And when Zhang Jun led the rotation, he often passed the ball to Travis Outlaw. Who could help him produce outstanding statistics and performance on the court? Travis Outlaw could still tell the difference. of.

"Just play well, don't do all this nonsense."

Zhang Jun didn't care about Travis Outlaw's previous actions. Because of Randolph's being traded, many people in the Trail Blazers are now panicked.

They are all afraid that they will be added to the Randolph trade.

It’s not that they really regard the Trail Blazers as their home and are reluctant to leave. For most players, when they play for the Trail Blazers, they will naturally buy a house in Portland, and their children will go to school here. Almost everyone will move here to live.

If he was really traded, everything would have to come from scratch. The hassle of traveling and moving would be secondary. There would be a lot of extra expenses along the way.

Therefore, Zhang Jun hopes that the team can have a stable locker room and does not want to add fuel to the fire to the team in an already turbulent period.

"But Zach Randolph is really up to something. The Blazers' original momentum was almost completely wiped out by his press conference."

Moda Center Arena.

The starting lineups of the two teams were shown on the big screen.

Trail Blazers: Aldridge, Joel Przybilla, Zhang Jun, Brandon Luo Yin, Jarrett Jack.

Kings starting lineup: point guard Mike Bibby, shooting guard Kevin Martin, small forward Ron Artest, power forward Brad Miller and center Mickey Moore.

Before the game started, Monty Williams specifically reminded Zhang Jun: "Man, I know you have played against many players and encountered various levels of defense."

"But tonight only, I hope you can restrain yourself and reduce unnecessary movements on the court. If it is not easy to score a goal later, just pass the ball to your teammates."

"It doesn't matter even if we score a little less. Coach Nate McMillan will get Luo Yin and Aldridge in advance tonight during the rotation phase."

Zhang Jun frowned and said not quite understanding: "Why should I hold back and fight?"

"I already know how to read the referee's call and how to engage in physical confrontation outside the referee's eyes. If the opponent wants to fight me with my body and small moves, I won't let him do it."

Monty Williams couldn't help but sigh. He knew that young people like Zhang Jun would not listen to advice. Monty Williams and Nate McMillan also encouraged the players to be fearless on the court. Confrontation, dare to fight and fight hard.

But tonight is the only exception, and must be the exception.

Nate McMillan patted Zhang Jun on the shoulder and said: "Listen to Coach Monty's advice, because you are facing a ruthless character tonight."

"If he infringes on you with his little moves, if you can bear it, just bear it. If you can't bear it, just let me know and I will replace you."

"Anyway, don't try to provoke the beast."
