I hacked my son's basketball system

Chapter 31 Signing
The last day of 2004.

In the Trail Blazers conference room.

It was late at night.But it's still smoky here.It looked like there were a lot of people sitting inside.

"What is there to study? We just need to do a show! Doesn't the team have a registered player activation list for the Korean big man? Put him aside for a while! Originally wanted to activate He is just worried about the small market in South Korea. There is not much difference between early and late.

Then give the list to our scout and sign a 10-day short contract with him. Will the fans have an explanation?
And John?Didn't you say a few days ago that you wanted to give our scout some extra rewards?After all, they helped us find 4 high-quality players in one go, and only gave a fixed reward, which seems a bit too low. This short contract is worth at least [-] to [-] after tax!Isn't this considered a reward?

As for the fans who want to watch our "new player" play?That's even simpler. A short contract can only play three or four games at most, and the fans who want to watch him play are all our home fans.We just need to have him up and play during the garbage time at home.Isn't this problem solved?

And this is also an opportunity to establish a good image for our team.An NBA team is willing to sign a non-professional foreign player in his 30s and give him a chance to realize his dream.What will the outside world think?Do you think our pioneers are a place full of love and opportunities?Are those international players more willing to come to us?
In addition, maybe this is an opportunity for us to open up the Chinese market. Of course, I don’t mean to open it through our scout.It just needs to let Chinese fans deepen their impression of us a little bit.

Just look at the Rockets.I played there for 9 years.I know better than anyone how much I can earn in overseas markets.But since China Yao came?Two years is more profitable than my nine years.So we can't let go of any chance.

Since there are so many benefits, the problem is so easy to solve?Why don't we stay with our family on New Year's Eve?Are you still running back to hold some kind of research meeting?Ah…. "

Regardless of the fact that Steve Patterson has just resigned from his position as the vice chairman of the Houston Texans in the NHL, and was invited back by Paul Allen to serve as the team chairman of the Trail Blazers.

But don't forget that he has served as the general manager and general counsel of the NBA Rockets for 9 years.

And when he was the general manager of the Rockets from 1989 to 93, he selected Robert Horry, a rookie, signed free agent Matt Ballard and got Kenny Smith, Maxwell Thorpe and Hurley through trades. pull.Laid a good foundation for the Rockets.

He was promoted to general counsel and helped the Rockets solve all the troublesome problems.

This allowed the Rockets to win the championship in 1994 and successfully defend the NBA championship in 1995.

Therefore, he is very familiar with the way the NBA operates as a show.It's just easy to come by.

The reason why Paul Allen made him the team chairman, not the general manager.The main thing that matters is his public relations ability.

After all, last season, the Trail Blazers were too messy.A large number of fans were lost, players were caught taking drugs...There is always a need for someone to turn the tide.

Apparently his abilities come in handy now.He seemed to have easily solved the problem in front of him.

"Chairman Steve is right. We made this problem complicated! On the contrary, the emergence of this problem has solved many of our problems! Then I will contact Liu now and ask him to come back as soon as possible. When the contract is completed, Then cooperate with us to do some publicity!"

John Nash has also served as the general manager of several teams such as the 76ers, Wizards, and Nets.The ability to manage the team is not bad either.

It's just that he just became the general manager of the Trail Blazers after all.And the situation of the Trail Blazers is so bad.This made him look a little frightened.

But when the team chairman will analyze this issue a little bit.He also knew what to do next.

To be honest, he is still somewhat grateful to Liu Baoqiang.

After all, this Asian did help him a lot at work.At the worst time of the team's record.Let him have available players to use.

So he had long thought of rewarding Liu Baoqiang.But after all, the team has a team management system.The rewards for scouts are also fixed for the player's performance.He has been unable to find a suitable reward opportunity.

Originally, he was still worried about asking this question, but now he doesn't need to.After all, the reward for realizing the "dream" is big enough...

…………

John Nash wanted to contact Liu Baoqiang.It is definitely impossible to do it himself, and besides, it is difficult for him to contact him if he wants to. He doesn't know which country this guy is in now.

So we can only find the "principal person in charge" Rice first, and then ask Rice to contact Liu Baoqiang and return to the United States as soon as possible.

"This...? Isn't this reaction too exaggerated? Isn't the team's decision too miraculous? Is this what the Chinese say, unintentionally inserting willows and willows?"

Until he came out of the general manager's office, Rice's mind was buzzing.

It doesn't work if he doesn't buzz...

You must know that he wanted to fulfill his "promise" with Liu Baoqiang.It's a possibility that's been thought of.But obviously it seems that there is no possibility at all.

So he has been persuading Liu Baoqiang to face the reality.

But now it's because of a group of media who like to join in the fun.A short film made to entertain the masses.

The team made this absolutely impossible and directly possible.It feels so sloppy...

"Should I ask this guy to ask for credit? Although I was just doing it for fun... I also wanted to make this guy famous so that I could advance as soon as possible. I also wanted to give this guy a little famous surprise... But after all, the short story I racked my brains to come up with that narration in the movie! Yes, I must take my credit into it..."

Because Rice is the only person who knows Liu Baoqiang well in the United States.That's why those media also searched for him the most.

As the saying goes, there is hard work without credit.

Although the development of things completely deviated from the track that Rice thought.But it can't erase his hard work.

"I don't know if this guy's phone is turned on? Can he get in touch right away? I'm convinced too! This guy wants to save some phone charges. I know his phone number, but he's the only one who can contact me...!"

I won't talk about whether it's hard work or not, after all, the most important thing now is to contact Liu Baoqiang first.

To be honest, Liu Baoqiang is really hard to contact.

Before Liu Baoqiang was preparing to travel around the world.Rice finally persuaded Liu Baoqiang to let him buy a mobile phone so that he can contact him more easily.

But this guy is good, in order to save money, he will only turn it on when he needs to contact Rice.It is usually turned off.

And this time it's the same for such an anxious matter.Les called every 10 minutes and didn't get through for a whole day.

Just when Les was in a hurry.Liu Baoqiang's call finally came.

At this time, Rice was in no mood to congratulate or joke with Liu Baoqiang.The most important thing is to hurry him back...

.........

December 2005, 1.

The Moda Center is home to the Blazers and the general manager's office.

"Liu? You don't need to look at the camera, just keep your eyes on the contract. Yes, yes, you don't have to raise your hands so high, pretending to be writing with a pen! Okay, this one is fine! Then cooperate with Mr. General Manager, with a little body Go back a bit, and be on a parallel line with the general manager, don’t smile so fake, be more natural!... No, no... You don’t need to show all your teeth, just smile, take it easy, don’t move, um, it’s like this, OK ,OK OK…."

There are now a total of 4 people in the general manager's office.

General manager John Nash, senior scout Rice, development league scout Liu Baoqiang, team photographer XX....

As the saying goes, time is money.In addition to quality, service also needs speed. ...or the entire communication system of the Trail Blazers will be completely paralyzed...

This morning, Liu Baoqiang had just arrived in Portland.Then he was brought here non-stop by Rice.Of course, I came here to sign a contract.

The reason why you are so anxious is that there is no way.

As I said before, those media produced a large number of news reports related to Liu Baoqiang.And that short film is just one of a lot.

That is to say, the production speed of this pay TV station is the fastest.So play it fast.Then the effect comes the fastest.

But other media followed suit.As the so-called quantitative change causes qualitative change.With more and more broadcast media.Then the subsequent effect will become more and more terrifying...

As of last night.

There are already many fans in Portland who are full and have nothing to do...Standing outside the Moda Center arena holding a "sign".They all demanded that the Trail Blazers should give this scout who has paid so much for them a chance to realize his dream.

Meanwhile, the Oregon State Scouting Association also called John Nash.Let's hope the Blazers don't disregard the contributions of the scouts....

The situation is so serious.Can the Trail Blazers not rush?

So now they must complete the contract with Liu Baoqiang as soon as possible.And publish the contract information.Of course, the team’s official website cannot be left behind either.The team photographer was called in to do just that.After all, this is what makes it official...

"Okay, Liu, once again congratulations on temporarily becoming a player of the Trail Blazers. I think Rice should have told you what to do next. You can put down the work at hand and wait for the contract to go through the effective process. The team will arrange a game time for you, you can go back and have a good rest now, by the way, don’t forget to come to the team for a physical test tomorrow, after all, you have to do a full set of acting, hahahaha...!"

What is "show"?To put it bluntly, it is for others to see.Since it is made for others to see, then of course the person being made must know what to do...

The whole story and the team's plans.Rice had already told Liu Baoqiang everything on the way back from the airport.

And Liu Baoqiang after listening to this?His mood can only be described as "something is better than nothing".

Of course, it would be a lie to say I was not disappointed.But he has the capital to be disappointed.

So of course it was how they arranged for him to come.

"Dude! It's not easy! Come on, let's have a drink to celebrate!"

According to the regulations of the NBA.When a player signs a contract.Usually a broker is required.Even if you don't have a broker, you must find a legal adviser.

After all, it's in the signed contract.There are also many things related to rules and regulations and legal affairs.If there are no professional checks.Some players who have no brains are likely to be deceived as two fools...

Obviously Liu Baoqiang doesn't have an agent, let alone any legal counsel.Plus it was just a show after all.Another 10-day short contract, the easiest in the NBA.Then Liu Baoqiang can only let Rice go up to make up for it....

"No, you know, I'm not very good at drinking. Besides, I have to come to the team for a physical test tomorrow. I have to maintain a good state, so I will go back to rest first!"

Liu Baoqiang is really not in the mood to drink now.Now he has to go back quickly to prepare for the next thing.

After all, the game is about to be played.He hasn't even opened the "grid" yet.I haven't used the enhancement function yet.

So after bidding farewell to Rice, he immediately returned to his residence.

"Congratulations to the host for successfully joining an NBA team. The basic points will take effect immediately. As long as the host still belongs to the team, the team will get 20 points for winning and 10 points for losing."

Liu Baoqiang had just arrived at his residence.The sound of the system rang.

It seems that the team's speed is quite fast.Already in the validation process.The system also recognizes this at the same time.

"I know all of this, you don't need to repeat it, the most important thing now is that I am about to play a game, do I really want to activate the "projection ability"?"

As mentioned earlier, the system now believes that what Liu Baoqiang needs most is his projection ability.Liu Baoqiang also recognized this point.But after all, he only had such a chance.Just want to be sure again.

"Yes, host, when this ability is activated, the host will get a stable projection rate, which has been explained to the host before!"

As mentioned earlier, as long as an ability is activated, that ability will obtain the average level of this world basketball level.

And when Liu Baoqiang has decided to use the first free opportunity to activate his shooting ability.Then I asked the system in detail.What kind of average is this average?

According to the explanation of the system.

After Liu Baoqiang activates this ability, his shooting percentage is no matter whether it is a mid-range shot or a long-range shot.In case of "vacancy".The hit rate is definitely above 50%.That is to say, it will not be lower than 50%. ...But as for how high it can be, it depends on Liu Baoqiang's own ability....

It was also explained before.After opening the ability, it is only a start after all.The later strengthening is the highlight.

And every time the strengthening is successful.It will add 50% to the 10% hit rate.

也就是说强化一次投篮命中率是60%。两次70%三次80%…，强化成功到达第5次空位命中率就是100%。

Someone may have asked, this is only the 5th time and it is 100%.How to count the 6th to 10th strengthening?
This algorithm is also very simple, the extra 50% is anti-interference.

After all, in a basketball game, it is impossible for the opponent to just give you a wide open space for you to shoot.Don't people defend?
Of course, now is not the time to say the 50%...Not to mention that every reinforcement has a chance of success or failure.Just talk about Liu Baoqiang's existing points.

He has 100 points now.According to the successful strengthening once, the points need to be doubled to calculate again.

Even if Liu Baoqiang succeeds in strengthening every time.He can only strengthen to 80% at most.For the extra 50%, he can only think about it now.

"The system will help me activate the projection ability! Then strengthen it!"

After all, time waits for no one.In addition, Liu Baoqiang had to be familiar with the effects of activation and enhancement.So his time is really tight.

"The projection ability has been turned on for the host, may I ask if the host will start strengthening now?"

And the system didn't talk nonsense, after receiving Liu Baoqiang's order.A human-shaped light curtain appeared in Liu Baoqiang's mind.Then a little light appeared on the right hand of the human-shaped light curtain, and it seemed that this was the effect after it was turned on.

"...Is it really turned on? I don't feel anything..."

"..."

After holding it in for so long, Liu Baoqiang imagined many possible feelings when turning on the function.

But in the end it felt like nothing at all….

Well, that's not the point. The point is that he has to start strengthening now, and strengthening has a chance of success.

"Start strengthening!"

Liu Baoqiang had just finished his order.The right hand of the humanoid light curtain brightened a little, but then went dark again.

"Use 10 points to start the first enhancement. Unfortunately, the enhancement failed!"

"I rely on..."

Then the system's voice really made Liu Baoqiang very angry.He didn't expect that the first time he strengthened his meow, he would fail...
