I am Really an Insider

"So, you've decided to go, right?"

Paul Allen sat behind his desk and glanced at the brand new championship trophy on his desk.

Three consecutive championship dynasties.

Paul Allen dared to spend money, very dare to spend money, so before Wayne joined the team, the Trail Blazers were simply a garbage contract-making machine.

As early as the 2002-03 season, the Trail Blazers had already built a lineup worth 100 million yuan that was ahead of its time.

Pippen, who is in serious decline, earns nearly 20 million in annual salary with the Trail Blazers.

Tianzun, who was difficult to discipline, could earn 17 million from the Trail Blazers that year.

Rainman Kemp, who is seriously out of shape, can even get 13 million.

Paul Allen has always been very bold in spending money, but to be honest, even though he was so bold in spending money, he never dared to think about establishing a dynasty.

His idea at the time was simple: spend money to find a way for the Trail Blazers to win a championship and become a powerhouse in the Western Conference.

Just one!

dynasty?

There is everything in the dream.

But what now?

Wayne won five championship trophies with the Trail Blazers and established a dynasty.

Although some time has passed since the Trail Blazers won their third championship, looking back now, Allen still feels extremely fantasy.

It seems like taking all the high draft picks to draft Wayne happened yesterday.

But in a blink of an eye

Wayne actually said he was retiring.

Well, today is already July 5th, the NBA free agent transfer market has been open for five days, and the last draft hosted by Stern has also ended.

Of course, Wayne will no longer participate in this year's draft.

Now Paul Allen doesn't care about the draft or free agency at all.

Because today, he talked to Wayne for the last time.

Wayne had already expressed his anger to the management, but because the season had not yet ended, the two sides did not discuss Wayne's retirement in detail.

After the season, it's the draft and preparations for the grand championship parade.

In addition, Allen also wanted to give Wayne a few days to calm down, so it was not until today that Paul Allen was finally able to discuss this topic in depth with Wayne.

What if Wayne changes his mind after experiencing the championship parade and resting for a few days?

Speaking of this year's championship parade, in addition to being grand, the biggest feeling it gives people is warmth.

As the procession approaches its final stop, the Rose Garden.

People all over the city gathered together and cheered wildly for the city's heroes.

The final speech session is usually the player's time.

But this time, in order to highlight the importance of three consecutive championships, all city leaders were asked to give a speech.

Wayne almost fell asleep on the spot.

But finally, something special came.

This year's championship parade also arranged speeches by ordinary team staff and fan representatives!

So, after the leader spoke, a teenage fan came up.

He was a leukemia patient and once lost hope in life.

But because he watched the Trail Blazers game and watched Wayne grow from scratch, he was inspired and gained the courage to face life.

There is also a stadium staff member who is a single mother.

Well, the most indispensable thing for the Zi Mi Li family is single mothers.

Although I have a job with the Trail Blazers, the burden is still heavy because I have four children at home.

But the benefits Wayne gives to her staff every New Year and holidays, and the way every year’s playoff bonuses go to the staff, have slightly improved the lives of her and many colleagues.

In addition, the Trail Blazers have been winning championships in recent years, so their income is very good, and the change of direction has increased their income.

Moreover, when her child was sick and hospitalized in the past few years, Wayne visited her child in the hospital and paid all the hospitalization expenses.

Therefore, in her view, Wayne is not just a basketball player, but a light for the entire city.

Wayne had some impressions of this employee. In fact, Wayne had not only visited her family over the years, but most of them were for charitable purposes.

Since making money, Wayne has invested heavily in philanthropy.

Not only in Ugly Country, but also in his own motherland, Wayne has naturally done a lot of charity work.

If doing charity in ugly countries is mostly just for show, then when doing charity in China, Wayne is sincere.

He built countless basketball courts for rural schools, but no one would talk about these things all day long.

Regarding charity, Wayne has been very enthusiastic since he was brought on by Chairman Yao.

First, isn’t it nice to pluck out the wool of capitalism and spread the glory of socialism?

Secondly, for Wayne, these small sums of money can help people in need, which is not a bad thing at all.

Third, it can also increase your visibility.

Why not do it?

It's just that Wayne didn't expect that in his eyes, these trivial things were worth mentioning in others' eyes, but they were enough to be remembered for a lifetime.

These two links made Wayne very moved.

It turns out that people here's love for him is not limited to basketball.

His influence in Portland has long gone beyond basketball.

Seeing Wayne hugging the fans and seeing the employee crying with gratitude, Allen once felt that it was impossible for Wayne to leave this place.

But he didn't expect that Wayne's attitude would remain firm today.

Although Allen is the boss, he has thought of a lot of words of persuasion before.

But when he met Wayne face to face, he realized that he couldn't ask Wayne to stay at all.

Because everything the Trail Blazers have now was given by Wayne.

Yes, Paul Allen gave Wayne money, lots and lots of money.

But this is not a big favor, because even if Wayne is not in the Trail Blazers, there are still people who are willing to give the money, and they are rushing to give it.

Don't look at the team owners complaining about Wayne every day, but if they have the opportunity to sign Wayne...

hehe.

Everyone licks the dog!

Without Paul, Wayne would still make money. But without Wayne, the Trail Blazers may not be able to win these three consecutive championships.

It’s not that Wayne is lucky to have a boss like Allen, but that Allen is lucky to spend his money on the most deserving people.

Therefore, Wayne really does not owe the Trail Blazers anything, and Allen also feels that he cannot use his status as the boss to prevent Wayne from pursuing the life he wants.

So, after talking for a long time, Allen finally asked: "So, you have decided to go, right?"

Wayne smiled and nodded: "Yes, I have thought about it for a long time. I feel that it is time for my life to enter the next stage.

Thank you Alan, I thoroughly enjoyed my time with the team.

I just want to change my lifestyle, I hope you don’t think too much about it. "

Paul Allen was stunned for a few seconds, then he forced out a smile and nodded to Wayne.

"Well, I understand. Well, I wish you a happy life in the future, Wei.

Of course, you should come and visit the team more often when you have time. You are already part of the team's culture.

Rest assured, whether it's a box or a seat close to the first row. You can come anytime, anytime.

If you want to work in the team management in the future, I will welcome you with open arms.

By the way, happy birthday to you in advance. Tomorrow, I will be there. "

"Oh, don't say happy birthday. In the past, when I celebrated birthdays, I thought about being one year older. Now when I celebrate birthdays, I think about being another year older.

Tomorrow, I will be 30 years old. I can’t believe it. "

Wayne pouted, his 30th birthday, a day that seemed far away, was tomorrow.

Tomorrow is July 6th, because it is his 30th birthday, so Wayne, who never celebrates birthdays, has invited all his friends to his home for a party tomorrow to celebrate his birthday together.

By then, in addition to teammates, there will also be many former teammates, opponents, business partners, agents, bosses, etc. All kinds of people will come.

And Wayne also plans to announce his retirement on such an occasion tomorrow.

Wayne thought that the happy birthday atmosphere should dilute some of the sadness of retirement.

After letting everyone around him know about it, Wayne picked a suitable time to hold a press conference and officially announced his retirement.

That's Wayne's plan this summer.

Then, he no longer has to think about national team games, next season's training camp, or whether Du Xiaoshuai will use his trumpet to like Twitter posts that criticize him.

Wayne gets to do a lot of things besides play basketball.

For example, challenge the limits with my wife, challenge the limits with my wife, and challenge the limits with my wife.

Think about it, such a life is really desirable~

After saying goodbye to his boss Allen, Wayne drove back home.

In the yard, her daughter was chasing the dog and playing in the grass. Sharapova came up to her son with her arms in her arms.

The sun was shining on the green lawn, and Wayne felt calmer than ever before.

Such a life.

That’s pretty good too.

In the evening, while the children were asleep, Sharapova and Wayne clung to the sofa and watched a horror movie.

Well, just like before, Wayne kept his head buried in Sharapova's chest and didn't dare to look at it at all.

What bad intentions could Godway have? He is just plain timid.

The omnipotent Wei War God on the basketball court has zero resistance in front of horror movies.

"I'll go and I won't watch it again next time. I feel like I won't be able to sleep tonight."

While washing up after watching the movie, Wayne couldn't help but complain.

Sharapova had a look of disdain on her face, how many times have you just watched TV?

Do you have to tell me clearly what you were doing while watching the movie?

After returning to the room and saying good night to each other, Wayne turned off the lights and prepared to call it a day.

Wayne looked at the time. It was now 23:55, and he would be 30 in five minutes.

Although he didn't want to accept this fact, Wayne still said to himself silently: "Happy 30th."

Then, Wayne slowly closed his eyes. After a few minutes, I felt sleepy and I was about to fall asleep.

at this time

"Ding!!!"

"Fuck!"

Wayne, who had just watched a horror movie, was frightened and opened his eyes suddenly.

Damn this broken system!

In the middle of the night, you ding ding ding, ding ding!

I have retired, what else do you want to do?

There is no way, I don’t know if this system can be lifted.

Anyway, so far, Wayne is determined to retire, but how does the system work?

But most of the time, if you don't care about it, it is equivalent to non-existence, and it does not affect your life.

It's just that Wayne didn't expect it to suddenly ding like this in the middle of the night.

Be sick!

Wayne opened the system interface curiously. What's going on?

etc?

Could it be a system transformation?

For example, because you retired, the basketball system turned into a business giant system? Became a stay-at-home husband system?

How about making a dish that gives you 100 growth points?

Can growth points be used to increase cooking attributes?

But it turns out that Wayne's little theater in his head is too rich.

After opening the system interface, a prompt appeared: "The host is 30 years old. Do you want to check the new feature description?"

Only then did Wayne suddenly realize that he had wondered before whether his abilities would decline after he turned 30.

At that time, Wayne consulted the system about this matter, but the system stated that such content could only be unlocked after the age of 30.

No, Wayne would be 30 years old just after 12 o'clock in the middle of the night, so the system "dinged" like this in the middle of the night.

Because it was too long ago, and Wayne has decided to retire now, so I forgot about it.

Although he has decided not to play basketball, Wayne is no longer so concerned about whether his attributes will decline after the age of 30.

But since everyone has been woken up by the noise, let’s just take a look.

Well, following the two major Chinese-style compromises, "All come" and "Big New Year's".

Wayne performed another "Wake Up".

Clicking on the description, a relatively long text appeared in front of Wayne.

“The change pattern of host attributes after the age of 30 is as follows:

All athletes will decline in form as they age, which is an irreversible phenomenon.

Although this system can lock the attributes of the host that are improved through growth points, it cannot lock the original initial attributes of the host itself.

The specific rate of decline depends on the host's personal physical condition and basketball talent. "

Wayne could understand these words alone. But taken together, Wayne was confused.

What are you talking about?

After he got up and went to the kitchen to drink a bottle of milk, and then thought about it for a while, Wayne finally understood.

In other words, the attributes added up through growth points will not decline as age increases.

Because that part of the attribute itself does not grow naturally, it will not weaken due to natural aging.

But some of Wayne's original attributes, or those attributes that improved through his own training, may decline!

For example, Wayne's current highest blocks and three-point attributes are both 94.

But 94, not all 94 points are bought through growth points.

Before acquiring the system, Wayne's original blocking attribute was 46 and his three-point attribute was 61. These are his own abilities.

Therefore, the growth points actually only help Wayne add 48 points of blocking attributes and 33 points of three-point attributes.

According to the system prompts, the 48 points and 33 points purchased with growth points are fixed.

Even if Wayne is 80 years old, this part of his attributes will not change.

But Wayne's original initial points of 46 and 61 may decline as he gets older!

This is what the system wants to express.

Therefore, there is so much water! Despite going in such a big circle, the final result is that Wayne's attributes will still decline as he gets older.

For example, Wayne's original blocking attribute has dropped by 10 points, so the total blocking attribute is 48 purchased from the original 36 + growth points, and the total blocking attribute is only 84 points.

It's just that because of the system, Wayne's decline may not be so exaggerated. After all, there is still a part of the bottom line bought with growth points.

Moreover, even if it drops, you can still use growth points to fill it up again.

As for the speed of decline, the system says it depends on physical condition and basketball talent.

Although they are all over 30, the speed of decline is different for each person.

Some old men, thirty-six or seventeen years old, can still win the championship.

But for some people, landslides begin as soon as they turn thirty.

Wayne estimated that for his native basketball talent, the speed of decline might be that of a landslide.

From this point of view, is it really the right time for you to retire?

Wayne shook his head and didn't think more about it.

Anyway, I probably won’t play basketball anymore.

At this time, strong sleepiness came over him. Wayne turned off the system interface, went back to his room and went to sleep.

The next day, Wayne got up early and started preparing for today's birthday party.

Although Wayne hired a team of professionals to help him decorate the venue, cook and do housework, etc.

But that doesn’t mean I’m just going to be a hands-off shopkeeper.

But he didn't realize it until Wayne got up.

This guy really just needs to be a hands-off shopkeeper!

As expected of a professional team, everything was clearly arranged.

In just a few clicks, Wayne's yard was beautifully decorated.

In the afternoon, guests began to arrive.

Mr. and Mrs. Wayne also dressed in formal attire and greeted all the friends at the gate.

Not only are they friends, but all the leaders in the city have no personal relationship with Wayne.

But for the sake of saving face, it should come as it should.

The first one to arrive was Curry. He happily ran up and hugged Wayne, then turned around and asked, "What? The barbecue hasn't been arranged yet? Misstep, you came early!"

The second one is Stephenson. This guy’s dressing style in the offseason is directly about letting himself go.

The weather in Portland is 20 to 30 degrees in the summer. This guy is wearing a big fur coat and a big gold chain.

There is a beautiful Latina girl on the left and a black girl on the right.

With a snap of his fingers, several attendants followed him holding gifts.

"Are you always like this, little brother?" Shawa smiled so hard that she almost died of embarrassment.

She really wants to refuse such people from entering her home!

"Well, when he was five years old, he accidentally fell on his head while playing basketball, so this brain... you know. Understand it, understand it.

We should give these people a little more love. "

What can Wayne do? This is the only way he can explain it!

"Hey, Brother Wei, Waziapu! I brought some gifts, it's not respectful."

"Take off your clothes, it looks uncomfortable."

"Hey, expert Wei Ge, you really noticed my clothes. Let me tell you, my clothes."

"Get lost." Wayne touched his elbow.

"Yes~"

After that, more and more people came.

Most of the teammates arrived first, and Pao'er was the first non-Trail Blazers player to come.

After all, he is the eldest son, and he misses his old father very much.

"Brother Wei, I miss you so much! Happy birthday! By the way, I even learned a few Chinese words to wish you well! I wish Mr. Wei that he will be as blessed as the East Sea and live as long as the Southern Mountains! You will have this day every year, and you will have this day every year! "

After saying that, Pao'er gave Wayne a proud look.

How about it? Are you good at learning these few words of mine?

Wayne:.

Although these words were not malicious, they were applied to Wayne.

I know I'm old, don't remind me again, bastard!

Pao'er's Chinese is always so deadly.

Wayne recalled what Sun Yuejiao said at the press conference when Paoer left the Trail Blazers: "I thank Wei Ge for his eighteenth generation ancestors!"

The genius of Chinese is a 58-year-old master.

After you retire, become a Chinese professor. You will definitely have a future.

After that, Bird, Kobe, Artest, Miller, O'Neill, Barkley, Payton, etc., many people were present in person, and they were all well-known in the basketball circle.

To be honest, with Wayne's character, he should offend many people in the league.

But somehow, Wayne just made so many friends.

True. A reverse social butterfly.

In the evening, Chairman Yao arrived belatedly.

He had just gotten off the plane and rushed here without even having time to catch up on the jet lag.

It seemed that Wayne invited everyone, and everyone was quite considerate of it.

There were so many people present. If you walked in and walked around, you would have thought you were in the Hall of Fame.

Daben: So should I buy a bag of fruit and take a look?

The party was lively, and Wayne naturally drank a lot during the meal.

Artest also asked everyone on stage: Do you have freestyle? I have!

Then, the non-famous rapper started to enjoy himself.

Wayne was having a great time, eating meat and drinking wine. He had not been so indulgent in a long time.

By the time he was done eating, Wayne felt like he would be drunk later if he didn't get down to business.

So, he walked up, patted Yasuko on the shoulder, and asked him to hand over the microphone.

When Wayne stood on the stage and picked up the microphone, everyone whistled and applauded.

Wayne looked at his friends below and was very pleased.

Wayne has been in the NBA for so many years and has not only won a lot of honors.

These friends are also very important gains to Wayne.

“Thank you, thank you all for coming to my birthday party.

I am lucky to be able to walk with you all these years.

I don’t want anything else today but for everyone to have fun and drink! "

"Okay!" Sun Yue stood up and shouted loudly, and others also followed suit, making this birthday party very down-to-earth.

"However, I invite everyone here for another purpose. I want to announce a very important decision for me tonight!"

Wayne looked at everyone and took a deep breath. At that moment, he felt a lot more awake and less drunk.

There are so many stars today.

so.

It’s really time to take this step.

"That is, I want to officially announce my retirement. Next season, I will not appear on the court again."

"Wow!"

The cup in Curry's hand fell to the ground
