Chapter 79 Receive the 9th Tier Reward! Liu Yifei: Let you eat as much as you want!
It’s easy to tell with your toes that Wang Yan’s generation of sneakers will definitely be a popular style that is highly sought after.
As soon as a promotional rendering was released, someone in the comment section below expressed their willingness to pay five times the price to buy it.
The main reason is not only Wang Yan's popularity, but more importantly, Nike adopted the sales method of hunger marketing, launching three color schemes for the first time, and each color scheme is limited to 5 pairs worldwide.
Among them, 1 pairs were allocated to Europe, 2 pairs were allocated to the United States, and 2 pairs were allocated to China.
So this creates a market where supply exceeds demand.
Such remarks have even been heard in the sneaker world.
Wang Yan's first generation of sneakers is definitely a financial product!
Even if the price of gold falls, the sneakers of Wang Yan's generation will not fall.
Sneaker dealers in the secondary market have made sufficient preparations. As long as they can find a channel to purchase Wang Yan's first generation of sneakers on the market, they will immediately snap them up at high prices and sell them at 4 to 5 times the price.
Not an exaggeration.
Wang Yan's series of sneakers also support a group of second-hand sneaker dealers.
And worth mentioning.
Compared with the hot expectations for Wang Yan's first generation of sneakers, the popularity of Kobe's ninth generation of sneakers in Christmas color seems a little lackluster.
You know, Kobe's previous series of sneakers were a major player for Nike.
With Kobe's strong popularity + perfect shoe design language + a wide range of guard types.
This has made Kobe's series of sneakers gain great recognition in the defective market even at a less affordable price.
But today,
Because of the appearance of Wang Yan's sneakers, the Christmas color scheme that should have attracted much attention has been ignored.
This is not only a war of sneakers, but also a battle for the most popular player in the league.
Obviously, Wang Yan is far more popular than even Kobe.
. . . . .
And the other side.
The Cavaliers team, who won the game in Los Angeles, excitedly flew back to Cleveland on a special plane to prepare for the Christmas holiday.
On the plane, all the Cavaliers players were filled with the joy of Christmas. Some were calling their families, while others had already started planning their Christmas vacation itinerary.
Wang Yan couldn't wait to open the system at his seat.
"Get your reward now!"
[Ding... Congratulations to the host for reaching the tenth level of the system. The awakening reward is:]
In the illusory system space, at the bottom of the hundred steps emitting holy light, a golden little man stepped up from the ninth step and climbed onto the tenth step.
And worth mentioning.
The tenth step has a huge landing, and there is a huge landing every ten steps.
Wang Yan guessed that every 10 steps should be a huge watershed. After entering the next 10 steps, the direction of awakened skills would be different.
For example, most of the skills awakened from level 1 to level 10 of the system are related to mid-range shooting.
When you reach levels 11 to 20, the direction of the skill rewards may not have much to do with medium distance.
The 90th to 100th steps of the system radiate purple holy light.
This should be some legendary super skill.
Thinking of this, Wang Yan felt a little excited.
Because this 10th level step is the last reward of the first level, it is estimated to be another very powerful mid-range skill.
[Congratulations to the host for successfully obtaining: Peak Kevin Durant mid-range pull-up shooting stability! ]
"Fuck!"
Looking at the latest awakened skills, Wang Yan couldn't help but feel ecstatic.
That was Durant's mid-range shot at his peak.
Although there are too many mid-range greats in the NBA.
But in terms of the "stability" of shooting.
Kevin Durant is even as good as Kobe and Michael Jordan.
When it comes to scoring explosiveness from mid-range shots, Kobe is the best.
When it comes to the art of mid-range shooting, no one can match Macko.
But in terms of the stability of mid-range shooting.
Durant is second to none!
The most important thing is that Durant is not just a fixed-point shooter. His mid-range shooting stability includes stop-and-shoot shots, shots while dribbling, and other shooting environments.
It can be said that at this stage, Wang Yan has the physique of a plus version of Antetokounmpo + the mid-range shooting stability of peak Durant.
When it comes to mid-range lethality, no one in the league can compare!
"According to this statement, I will not be rewarded with mid-range shots anymore."
Wang Yan couldn't help but ponder: "Like Peter Pan's fadeaway jump shot or Macco's drifting mid-range shot, this level of unstoppable offense may have to be put on the last 10 steps to awaken."
Wang Yan was also looking forward to what the main rewards for the next ten levels would be.
"Is it a pass? Or a three-pointer? That would be awesome."
And just as Wang Yan expected.
The system directly gives the tasks and rewards for the next stage.
[It is detected that the host's team has achieved 28 consecutive victories, triggering the system task: lead the team to break Minneapolis' 33-game winning streak. After completing the task, you can step onto the 11th step of the system! ]
[System Level 11 reward: Allen Iverson's Super Large Crossover! ]
"Fuck, another unsolvable skill!"
Wang Yan was stunned for a moment, but soon showed joy on his face: "And the skill direction of the next 10 levels should be towards dribbling."
There is no need to elaborate on how awesome Iverson's crossover is.
The best disguise in the league, unmatched!
The whole world knows that Iverson, who dribbles the ball in his left hand, has to change direction and break through with his right hand.
But the entire league just can’t defend it!
Of course, this is not only because Iverson has a speed at the league's historical level, but more importantly, it is because of Iverson's ball-handling skills and the range of his fake changes of direction.
After all, there are many fast people in the league, but no one can achieve the lethality of Iverson's crossover.
Derrick Rose's disguised non-slowdown has a bit of AI style, but it is far from it.
KD's dribbling and changing of direction during his peak period was also a killer feature, but it is not comparable to AI.
Even Kyrie Irving, the skill ceiling, the dribbling museum.
But when it comes to changing direction in front of the body, he also has to learn from Iverson.
When Wang Yan got the crossover from Iverson.
A huge disguise to shake off the defender, followed by a huge stride to accelerate and slam dunk under the basket!
Or after cross over to create space, he can perform a pull-up jump shot like peak KD!
Scoring will become easier than ever!
And it’s a signal.
At least half of the rewards between levels 11 and 20 are related to dribbling.
Once the dribbling skill package is fully maxed out.
A super version of Antetokounmpo + Durant will be born!
"34 consecutive wins..."
However, Wang Yan also saw the prerequisites for activating this system.
We must break Minneapolis' 33-game winning streak and become the first in NBA history.
I have to say, it is quite exciting.
Of course, 34 consecutive victories are not an achievement that can be achieved by Wang Yan’s efforts alone.
This is the result of the joint efforts of the whole team.
"Brother Meng, everyone follow my lead!"
Thinking of this, Wang Yan looked at his teammates around him and clapped his hands: "To celebrate the upcoming Christmas, I have prepared gifts for everyone. After Christmas, I will reveal them to you at the Quick Loans Center."
"WOW! WOW!"
"Brother Wang is mighty!"
"WOW! WOW!" As soon as the words fell, the howling of the Cavaliers players was heard throughout the cabin of the plane.
Everyone knows that Wang Yan is now the most profitable player in the entire NBA, and is even almost number one on the Forbes Rich List of World Sports.
So the Christmas gifts he gave to everyone definitely couldn't be cheap stuff.
"I hope everyone has a wonderful and comfortable Christmas, but I have to give you a heads up."
"We have now won 28 games in a row, and 30 games are just around the corner."
"I'll set two small goals for everyone. The first one is to get that damn 30-game winning streak."
"And the second one is to create the longest winning streak in history of 34!"
"I don't think any of you would want to break this record!"
This is a rare occurrence for Wang Yan, who, as the team leader, sets some interim goals for everyone behind the scenes.
Normally, Wang Yan gets along well with everyone else.
But at times, Wang Yan still shows the attitude of a team leader.
"Wang Yan is right!"
As soon as Wang Yan finished speaking, the team's head coach, Byron Scott, stood up in front of the cabin and turned around to face everyone: "We have come to this point and have the opportunity to break the record. Why don't we go for it?"
"Guys, I don't think you'd want to miss out on your chance to make history."
As Wang Yan and Byron Scott said.
28 consecutive wins are already in hand!
It is impossible to say that we don’t want to break the historical record!
"Go for his 30th consecutive win!"
“We want to be history too!”
"We never gave up 30 games in a row, 34 games in a row!"
"rush!"
"..."
On the plane, everyone's voices suddenly rose one after another.
Of course, no one wants to turn down the opportunity to be a part of history.
However, you have to eat the meal one bite at a time.
Before achieving 34 consecutive victories, the first thing to be resolved is the 30 consecutive victories.
The Cavaliers' next two opponents are of average ability.
They are the Minnesota Timberwolves, ranked last in the Western Conference, and the Atlanta Hawks, ranked seventh.
And these two opponents are also the Cavaliers' last two opponents in December.
If they can beat them, the Cavaliers will have an undefeated record in December.
And created the first record in NBA history of being undefeated for two consecutive months.
Yes, when the Minneapolis Lakers created a 33-game winning streak, they only completed one month of unbeaten streak because it spanned three months.
So, another record is waving at the Cavaliers.
. . . . . .
After the plane arrived in Cleveland, the Cavaliers players went back to their homes and their mothers.
After all, most of the Cavaliers' players are local Americans, and Christmas is an important holiday, so they have to spend time with their families.
However, Wang Yan, a Chinese, has no habit of celebrating Christmas.
Not long after the plane landed, it was past midnight. In the conventional sense, it is now Christmas.
At this moment, Wang Yan's cell phone vibrated and he unlocked it.
It turned out that Liu Yifei sent a message at exactly midnight.
Fairy Sister: Merry Christmas.
There are still no words, just an emoticon of a big rabbit holding a sign.
It was sent on time at midnight, and there was no function to send messages on a scheduled basis in that era.
Therefore, Liu Yifei must have been waiting to post it on time.
Wang Yan couldn't help but smile when he thought of this.
Isn't this something that only little junior high school kids would do?
I am the King of Hell: "Why haven't you slept yet?"
Wang Yan sat in the back seat of the Rolls-Royce. The driver drove in the front, while Wang Yan chatted with Liu Yifei in the back seat.
Fairy Sister: "I just finished work and couldn't sleep."
The female star looks glamorous, but in fact she is just a high-level worker.
It is common to work overtime until late or even stay up late to work.
Wang Yan felt the same way.
In order to cater to the audience, NBA players usually start at 7:30 pm in the local city.
The main reason is that everyone has gotten off work at this time, and most of them have finished their meals, so it's a good time to come and watch the game.
The game lasts more than two hours and ends at almost 10 o'clock. Post-game rehabilitation therapy, summary, interviews, press conferences and the like are basically all after 11 o'clock.
If it's a home game, after finishing all the above, it will be at least 12 o'clock when I get home.
If we have to play some away games or back-to-back games, we have to work around the clock, and it is common to get off the plane at two or three in the middle of the night.
So, it’s not that easy to make money these days, even for celebrities.
Of course, ordinary people cannot experience the happiness of celebrities and rich people.
Fairy Sister: "By the way, I heard that there is a Chinatown in Cleveland. I want to go there to eat candied haws and stir-fried rice cakes. Do you have time tomorrow?"
Looking at the message from the Fairy Sister, Wang Yan smiled.
This invitation is quite thoughtful. The term "date" is described in such a tactful and refreshing way.
Laozi is the King of Hell: "Of course I have time. I have been craving for this candied haws for a long time."
Laozi is the King of Hell: "But I like to eat donkey rolls more, I don't know if there is any."
Originally, Wang Yan had no plans to celebrate Christmas with me. But on this holiday when American people reunite with their families, it was nice for Wang Yan to celebrate with a yellow-skinned Chinese.
Moreover, Wang Yan had some impression of the newly opened Chinatown in Cleveland.
Because of Wang Yan's sudden appearance, the city of Cleveland and the Celestial Empire developed a deep bond, so the state capital directly built a Chinese Commercial Street, which attracted many local residents of Cleveland to spend money there.
These are the effects brought about by Wang Yan’s terrifying business influence.
However, when Liu Yifei saw the message sent by Wang Yan, she suddenly became upset and pouted.
"Stupid Wang Yan, you don't really just want to eat delicious food, do you?"
"Isn't the point who I should eat with..."
Wang Yan and Liu Yifei have been chatting frequently online these days, but they have never met because they are in different places.
Liu Yifei thought, even if we are not boyfriend and girlfriend, but just friends, shouldn’t you be happy to see each other?
Why do you only think about eating?
Am I not as good as food?!
So, Liu Yifei only sent a message "Oh".
Fairy Sister: “Oh.”
Wang Yan looked at the message from the other party and scratched his head in confusion.
"Why is there such a big reaction? It seems like she really doesn't like eating donkey rolls."
It was already very late when they got home. Wang Yan said goodbye to Liu Yifei and prepared to go to bed.
They went to bed at the same time, but what they thought about before falling asleep were completely different.
What Wang Yan was thinking about was donkey rolls and candied haws. It would be even better if there was some sweet and sour pork.
Liu Yifei, on the other hand, was hugging the quilt, her chubby face puffed up with anger.
"Eat, eat, eat. All you know is to eat. I'll order a table for you tomorrow so you can eat as much as you want!"
