Guard With a Knife

The efficiency of CCTV is amazing.

On the second day, that is, at noon on Wednesday Beijing time, the CCTV news channel broadcast Duge's special report program in the "Olympic Special".

The very beginning of the show was the precious scene captured by TNT. Doug stood up clapping his hands and told his teammates: "Everyone should have a period of youth that is worth remembering. I hope that after 50 years, when you mention tonight in front of everyone, your blood will still be boiling."

"Come with me, let's go win."

On the screen, Doug is extremely determined.

Then, Dug in front of the computer heard the unique tone of CCTV's sensational report: "This is the scene of the NCAA finals on the evening of April 19, US time. At that time, the core player of the Bruins, Kevin Love, retired due to injury, and the team fell behind. With 13 points, when the team was panicking, Duge, a Chinese student, stood up. Now, the American media collectively call it "The Duke's Speech."

"Because Duge's Chinese pronunciation is very similar to the Duke. Of course, except in this situation, the American people prefer to call him affectionately: Snoopy!"

After a fierce game scene.

The narration was accompanied by the fierce and neat "Snoopy" shouts: "After delivering the "Duke's Speech", Doug led the team to counterattack again and again. He himself scored 8 points and 6 assists in the game. 5 rebounds, 4 blocks and 2 steals, and finally won the highest individual honor in American college basketball: the best player award in the Final Four."

"Dug, a full scholarship recipient from the Anderson School of Business. He is 193 cm tall and weighs 96 kg. He is the main point guard of the Bruins team. Born on June 15, 1989, he is about to celebrate his 19th birthday..."

After a lengthy background introduction.

CCTV began to broadcast "Snoopy Cyclone", from the video recording of Dug's debut to the final lifting of the trophy.

Then, Kobe Bryant's face appeared on the screen: "I watched him two games live, he is a player with extremely strong mental strength. I will wait for him in the NBA."

Then there's Stephen Nash: "He plays very reasonably and does the right thing all the time on the court. I would love to be a teammate with him one day."

Later, Yao Huang also appeared on the screen: "He is now the most popular college player in the United States, known as the No. I can sing, and I can get a full scholarship for studying, and now those little girls in the United States are obsessed with him. The mass base is much stronger than when I first came to the United States.”

"Besides, his style of play is completely different from mine and the United Arab Emirates. His style of play is more American, he often dunks through people, or directly dribbles the ball from the air to turn people over, which is very exciting. But, I I still don’t understand why he keeps saying he’s a point guard when he’s clearly a center.”

While Yao Huang teased Duger, he did not forget to give him his opinions and suggestions: "He is a defensive player that our Chinese basketball world needs urgently. His defensive awareness and footwork are at the top level. I think that if he can successfully transform into a forward in the future , and develop peripheral shooting ability. Will become a sought-after 3D role player in the NBA."

Subsequently, Ben Holland, Russell Westbrook, Kevin Love and Luke Mbah a Moute appeared on the screen one after another.

They praised Doug.

To Doug's surprise, Luke Mbah a Moute, as a player who once had disputes with him, said more nasty words than Westbrook and Kevin Love: "He is my idol. respect and adore him."

"I've never seen a player as unselfish as he is, he'll help you get stuck in tough spots, let you get the rebounds comfortably. When you run out of space, he will pass the basketball to you immediately. As long as you are his teammate,

As long as you are on the court with him at the same time, he always spares no effort to help you. So, this is why he is the spiritual leader of our Bruins team, and this is why we will fight behind him as a 'rookie'. "

Luke Bamoute's words made Doug shudder and get goosebumps all over his body.

At this time, the TV began to interview myself.

Looking at himself on the screen, Duge felt for the first time that he was so handsome. His sharp-edged face was very photogenic. Under the light, he was about 30% more handsome than when he looked in the mirror every day.

The total length of the program is 20 minutes, and CCTV gave it enough face.

What surprised Doug even more was that the sports channel also broadcast it.

At the same time, Central Station also edited a 3-minute version for playback.

During the evening news broadcast, a 45-second version was also played.

With CCTV's "dazzling" operation, Duge, who had already started to take off in popularity in China, jumped up in an instant, and he seemed to have become a new generation of sports pride. Basketball fans are enthusiastically discussing the child of miracles, and are extremely looking forward to the arrival of the NBA draft.

With the rapid expansion of popularity in the country, Lin Weiwei received more and more advertising contracts, and the amount was gradually increasing.

But at this time, Lin Weiwei devoted all her energy to negotiating with Nike.

In the middle, Adidas also got involved. But they apparently spent their budget on Rose and didn't make an offer that met expectations.

So in the end, it was Aaron Freeman, a Nike vice president, who managed to meet with Doug.

Dug and Freeman sat in the conference room and talked behind closed doors for nearly three hours. Freeman's secretary delivered coffee five times.

In the end, the two came out with smiles on their faces, announcing a happy cooperation.

Nike offered Dug a 5-year endorsement contract, in which the guaranteed amount was 4.88 million US dollars: Snoopy strictly required that the mantissa must have the word '8', and he was born in a family of contractors. He has a natural love for this number.

The total amount of the contract is 88.88 million US dollars.

The specific terms of the contract are.

The base salary for the first year is 880,000 U.S. dollars, and if Dug enters the NBA as a lottery pick, it will increase by 600,000 U.S. dollars. The number of first appearances exceeded 40, an increase of 800,000. The number of top five goals in a single season exceeded 30 times, an increase of 900,000. Selected in the NBA Rookie Game, an increase of 500,000, elected as the MVP of the NBA Rookie Game, an increase of 1.5 million, and being selected to the rookie first team increased by 1 million. Elected Rookie of the Year, an increase of 2 million.

The basic salary for the second year will be implemented in accordance with the accumulated salary for the first year. If all the terms are activated, Nike will create exclusive signature shoes for Dug. At the same time, the full salary clause is triggered, and Duger can get an endorsement contract with an annual salary of 12 million in the second year.

And if all the clauses are not activated, Doug's annual salary will be a combination of the accumulated annual salary of the previous year and the trigger reward of the second season. In the second year, Nike's trigger conditions are: starting 60 games, having more than 30 top five goals in a single season, being selected for the NBA All-Star Game, being elected as the best player of the month in the NBA, winning the team's single data king, and helping the team play well. into the playoffs.

The reward amounts for these six items are the same, the maximum salary is 12 million minus the accumulated salary in the first year and then divided by six.

The maximum salary in the third year is 18 million, and the salary structure is the same as the calculation method in the second year, but the difficulty of triggering the reward clause is much harsher...

The highest salary in the fourth year is 2600, but the terms of the reward are already too harsh.

The maximum salary in the fifth year is 32 million. It is completely impossible to get this amount.

After Lin Weiwei read all the contracts, she took a deep breath. Said: "Are you so confident in yourself? He said that if you didn't trigger any incentive clauses in the first two years, they can buy out this contract with 2 million U.S. dollars."

"It's reasonable, risk control." Doug said: "And don't you see the following supplementary contract? If I trigger all the bonus clauses in the first three years, I will have the option to end this contract early, but Nike has right to match."

"But the reward terms for the third year above include not only becoming the MVP of the All-Star Game, but also being selected to the best third team. Can you do it?"

Lin Weiwei felt that these conditions were too harsh.

"You'll only know when you have to do it."

Doug was all smiles.

At noon the next day, Nike held a grand press conference, announcing that Nike had signed NCAA Final Four Most Valuable Player Doug for 5 years at a price of 88.88 million US dollars.

As soon as this news came out, the entire basketball circle was shocked!
