One Thousand Seven Hundred and Forty-Seven. The Most Commercially Valuable Player

"Juanjuan, you are only 16 years old, can you drive?"

"Here in the United States, you can get a driver's license at the age of 16! But before I turn 18, my brother must accompany me to drive."

"Oh...you are so lucky. You can win all these. How about we buy a lottery ticket?"

"..."

Zu Ge felt like he was being treated like a child by this cheap brother!

The first time she thought it was luck, but last year she started to have doubts when she won the most expensive motorcycle for the second time. This year, the boss took her directly to see what the big prizes were and asked her which one she liked. She said sports car. , in the end she won the sports car. Is she stupid? How could she not know the reason?

But Sun Ce pretended not to know anything, and Zu Ge nodded cooperatively and started chatting along the topic. This is a small pleasure in life.

The morning activities are over. In the afternoon, Sun Ce will have a biennial press conference for new football boots. Three new sneakers will go on sale in July. Before that, there is still time for promotion today.

It took two years to create the new boots, and the changes are not small. Regarding the style of Sun Ce's sneakers, AJ implements the idea of ​​​​changing a design team for each generation to give fans as much freshness as possible.

Because the first model sold so well, in the past two years, from July 2013 to June 2014, the cumulative sales of Sun Ce's three boots in North America reached US$220 million, surpassing Durant and Kobe, second only to James's US$320 million ranks second in North America; globally, Sun Ce is tied with James. The media broke the news that Sun Ce's cumulative sales of global boots during this period reached about US$470 million, which is similar to James' statistics.

From July 2014 to the present, Sun Ce's sales were not as good as James' at first. After all, James had just won the championship. But after the start of the new season, Sun Ce began to overtake him. During this season, Sun Ce's sneaker sales in North America have almost equaled that of James. , the playoffs haven't even started yet, Sun Ce's shoe sales in North America in the past nine months have reached 280 million U.S. dollars, which is almost the same as James' 290 million U.S. dollars.

After the formation of 23+24 last season, James' sneaker sales in China and other parts of Asia have also greatly increased, so that he will not lag behind Sun Ce in terms of global sales.

AJ is very excited about this! In the past many years, apart from Air-Jordan and Jordan's own sneakers, they have no other boots that can compare with Nike's superstar signature shoes. They have signed many people, including Wade, Anthony, Paul...all of them are on the street. .

Although AJ is a subsidiary of Nike, it does not prevent them from being competitors.

Now that we have Sun Ce, we naturally have to build a new series around him.

Therefore, the style of the old boots cannot be continued, mainly not to affect the "classicity" of Sun Ce's three first-generation boots, so we are ready to replace the new styling design team with the launch of each generation of boots.

In terms of technology, there is no big difference from Nike's signature shoes of basketball superstars.

…

When it’s time to eat lunch, this time we have to show the fans the picture of eating a nutritious meal. By the way, let the fans try it and see how unpalatable the nutritious meal that the Grizzlies chef has studied painstakingly is.

The chef was looking forward to seeing his player's expression of pain, but instead he saw Sun Ce eating happily!

This feeling of impact is so explosive!

He felt that he had made these expensive ingredients so delicious that they couldn't be more delicious. Why was it still like this?

There was no way, Sun Ce thought it was unpalatable at first, but at 12:10 noon, the system prompt came!

"The number of best-of-the-week times in the regular season of the host has reached 12 times this season, breaking the historical record of 11 best-of-the-week times in a single season set by LeBron James in the 2012-2013 season. Congratulations to the host for receiving the achievement award: LeBron James 2012 -A 2013 version of the Peak Star Experience Card.”

A season of explosive performance has brought countless honors... and awards!

What makes Sun Ce regretful is that efficiency is not considered an honor! This is not the so-called efficiency king officially recognized by the league, but something calculated by the media based on some formulas.

He accidentally broke James' record again. Sun Ce rarely encounters situations where he breaks the record and the other party breaks it back, because most of the time he breaks the record of retired players, but this time he encountered it, and it happened last time. I got a James card once based on this record, and now I'll do it again.

When the reward was received, Sun Ce suddenly came up with the idea of ​​​​hoping James to play the best of the week 13 times in a single season...

Sun Ce is also a little bit pained by this. He has won 12 Best of the Week in a single season. This record, Sun Ce feels that he has little hope of breaking it.

75 wins, the highest efficiency in history, and only 12 Best of the Week awards in a single season.

It's even higher than this. I guess 75 wins would be enough to win again!

There is no way. The reason why the Grizzlies' performance in the regular season this season is called a miracle is because they have achieved in many aspects what no team in NBA history can match in any season. If it is said that 72 wins are still possible. Come on, 75 wins is really impossible.

Sun Ce couldn't imagine how his team could win even one more victory. Every time they lost 7 games, they really couldn't win.

After getting the James card, Sun Ce opened his phone to check the news. Sure enough, his fifth Player of the Month award this season was also announced, and he also won all the Player of the Month awards in the Western Conference this season, setting a historical record! He became the only player in NBA history to win all Player of the Month awards in a single season.

However, the fifth Player of the Month award, which tied James' record, made Sun Ce a little unhappy. He also felt that James was "taken care of" by the league.

It is hard to say whether the league shortened the number of Player of the Month awards in a single season to 5 times in order to keep James' record first forever.

Sun Ce felt that the possibility was not high. Before the start of this season, how could he know that they could start with 27 consecutive wins, and take advantage of the fact that the players' personal status was better than most players in other teams at the beginning, and directly entered the rising period of running-in through 10 consecutive wins at the beginning. Finally, relying on this wave of 27 consecutive wins, they formed a style of playing around him, Sun, and finally continued it.

Look at their average points per game this season. Klay Thompson, who played 78 games in total after 3 games due to injury and 1 game, averaged 18.5 points per game, which is already the second highest in the team.

Aldridge, who played 70 games, averaged 14.5 points per game, Paul George, the only player who played all the games, averaged 15.4 points per game, Randolph, who played 49 games, averaged 12.2 points per game, and Yi Jianlian, who played 75 games, averaged 11.3 points per game.

A total of 5 players averaged double-digit points per game, which looks very good, but this is achieved by taking turns to rest. If they all stay healthy and do not take turns to rest, the data will be more scattered.

Although he failed to get another James card, Sun Ce still feels super happy to win all the monthly bests in a single season!

He now just wants to prepare well for the playoffs, and he can't stop halfway!

…

After lunch, at 1 pm, Stu Jackson, the league's vice president, who went to the restaurant with Robert Pera for lunch, came to the FedEx Arena and presented Sun Ce with the three data king trophies of this season.

After the award ceremony, Zugoo held three large plates in his arms and got on the Porsche, which was still painted in the Grizzlies' Panda color. He carefully placed the three award plates away from Sun Ce. The spray painting would have to wait until the custom death Barbie pink arrived. Now he was driving. The team had already filled up the gas tank. Zugoo was going to send Sun Ce to the AJ branch in Memphis.

Sun Ce could not stop Zugoo's excitement about driving. Last summer, when she turned 16, she received a notice from the school to take a driver's license. In the United States, she could not graduate from high school without a driver's license. Zugoo accompanied Sun Ce back to China in the summer. When Sun Ce went to Spain to play in the Basketball World Cup, Zugoo took the opportunity to take a driver's license test when he went to Los Angeles to accompany Lily Collins.

Sun Ce felt his hands shaking when he got in the car. What a female driver! Is a 16-year-old female driver awesome? He, Sun, encountered it!

However, Zugoo drove steadily and adhered to traffic rules. He drove at the speed limit marked in the city. He was also honked at by the car behind him at an intersection.

Finally, they arrived at the AJ branch in Memphis smoothly and safely, which was beyond Sun Ce's expectation. The group went to tinker with their car. After Sun Ce met up with Bill Duffy and the head of AJ, they began to prepare for the business activities at 4 pm.

...

After a busy day, Sun Ce returned home, had dinner, played with the facial cleanser with Lily Collins, and asked Lily Collins to play a musical instrument. The day passed like this.

At 9:30 pm, he went to the gym and practiced until 11 pm. After taking a shower, Sun Ce lay on the bed and started preparing for the playoffs tomorrow!

This playoffs, Sun Ce felt particularly special. He didn't think this year's playoffs would be easy. On the contrary, it might be difficult!

It's not that he was afraid of anything. It's not like he had never lost before.

The end of losing is miserable - this is one of the key reasons why Sun Ce didn't want to lose even if he tried his best.

Sun Ce didn't know how to describe his current feelings. He could only prepare as much as he could and then play one game after another!

After looking at the items in the prop space, in addition to the props that can be used directly, there is also an A-level draw card and three random special cards.

This year is different from last season. This season is really a failure to the extreme except for winning the championship. Sun Ce cannot guarantee whether he can win the championship. Think about 73 wins and the runner-up... But he can choose to do his best!

"Uncle Learning Machine, draw all these four cards!"

Sun Ce's mind moved, and the system screen was cut into 4 equal parts. The strange thing is that the screen has been divided into 4 parts, and it seems that each screen is only a quarter of the original size, but it feels that each screen is "seen" clearly.

After a few seconds, the draw of the four parts was completed at the same time.

"Congratulations to the host for obtaining a random skill upgrade card*1, special cards: evil will be punished*1, passer in the sewer*1, soul of truth*1..."
