Guard With a Knife

Twenty-year-old Doug is sitting in a Gulfstream G550 business jet, waiting for the plane to take off. Thinking of the incredible experience of the past year, a smile could not help but appear on his handsome face.

CCTV reporters were sitting next to him. With the permission of the Nike team, they entered the Nike plane with a full set of photographic equipment. They will follow up and report on Dug's trip to Asia.

"Two days ago, I went through another draft, and I could see the twinkle in the eyes of every first-round pick who came up on stage and shook David Stern's hand. But for me, I didn't think I would To be able to achieve what we are doing now.”

"It's not complacency, of course. It's just that it's not what I expected. It's like...nobody thought I'd be able to activate all the Nike rewards. But now, I even have my signature shoe."

"For me next season, I hope I can squeeze into the list of TOP30 players in the league. This is the goal I set for myself. During the offseason, with the help of the Nike team, I will focus on strengthening training in scoring .”

"..."

Doug babbled for the camera until the plane took off.

When the plane rushed to the sky, thinking about the flight to the other side of the Pacific Ocean, Duge slowly fell asleep.

The first stop of this trip to East Asia was Japan. Duge originally thought that he might not be well-known here. But... when he walked out of the airport, the screams and cheers outside made him feel the enthusiasm of the neon people.

This is also confirmed in the following sponsor event platform. Duge is called a combination of Rukawa Maple and Sakuragi Flower Road in Japan. Many comic fans firmly believe that... the Shonoku boy from Kanagawa grew up to be Duge like now.

And, to Doug's surprise... the number of female fans following him even surpassed that of male fans.

Whenever the little Japanese girl with canine teeth rushes towards him, Doug can't help but think of those D-disk scenery that Westbrook was waiting to appreciate carefully in college.

Dug stayed in Japan for 2 days and attended 7 events. Immediately rushed to Korea non-stop.

"Can Rukawa Feng and Sakuragi Hanamichi become you when they grow up?" CCTV reporter complained to Du Ge on the plane: "I read an article on the Internet. The article said that Rukawa Feng and Sakuragi Hanamichi grew up full of confidence Man went to the national team, but was beaten by Wang Shipeng and Zhu Fangyu in the Asian Championships... Hahahaha!" Human Dao Dynasty

The reporter was clearly not a fan of comics.

He smiled happily.

Then, he asked Duge if he was willing to join the national team. Now the domestic voice for Duge to join the national team is very high. When some leaders of the basketball management center were interviewed, they expressed their full welcome to Duge to win glory for the country.

"Didn't you say... Even if Yingmu Huadao and Rukawa Kaede join the national team, they will be blown away by Zhu Fangyu and Wang Shipeng?" Duge replied with a smile: "I don't want to get involved in Asian-level competitions. I need to With limited time to improve myself, I will seriously polish my offensive skills this summer."

Dugg's response was sent back to China when he arrived in South Korea.

All of a sudden, it sparked a lot of discussions.

Some people say that Dugge is not patriotic, but they support Dugge more, thinking that there is really no need to get involved in Asian-level competitions. Although Yao Huang was unable to participate in the national team due to an injury in the second round of the playoffs, the strength of the national team is still among the best in Asia.

Moreover, there are already many voices saying that Yao Huang's injury is caused by years of multi-line combat and not taking a good rest during the offseason. This makes everyone more tolerant of Duge, the only remaining Chinese NBA All-Star. No one wants Duge to suffer from repeated injuries like Yao Huang... The latest news is that Yao Huang may even regret it. retired.

While domestic discussions on this matter were raging, Duge encountered unprecedented popularity in South Korea.

If the ratio of male to female fans in Japan is 6:4. Then South Korea basically has a composition of 8:2.

Any event scene is full of female fans, they shout the slogan "Master Duke", and their eyes can emit green light.

To be honest, this surprised Doug.

He always thought that he came here to promote basketball culture, but... more people were singing Baby-Baby to him... oh~!

Moreover, Korean women obviously have some misunderstandings about Du Ge. They seem to think that Du Ge is a playboy... Du Ge stayed in Korea for 3 days and 2 nights, and the small notes he received exceeded three digits. Almost every one of them expresses 'grass powder' either explicitly or implicitly.

This made Duge realize that he needs to do some image public relations, and he can't go on like this. Now the American media are starting to whitewash me, saying that I am a pure man. Why did he become a stallion when he came to South Korea? Is it information delay? Supreme Angel

This made Duge quite unhappy, but fortunately he finally returned to normal after returning to China.

When he attends events, the male fans finally make up the majority, and he can finally talk about basketball in detail at the event, instead of being asked to sing over and over again, and talk about Scarlett Johansson or Taylor Swift. .

In his opinion, this is really boring.

Du Ge has been unprecedentedly sought after in China. Actually...his sneakers went on sale the day before he arrived in China. Although Nike has enough sneakers ready, they are still sold out, and now the price of scalpers has almost tripled.

In the US market and the European market, it has also received a lot of attention.

Nike was extremely surprised by the data fed back by the marketing department. They originally thought that Doug's influence could only radiate East Asia and the cities where he had been in New York and Los Angeles. But the result now is...he has achieved a truly global killing. Moreover, the sales volume of that trendy version of sneakers far exceeds that of genuine sneakers.

Such astonishing sales data has already made Nike start to approach Lin Weiwei. They hope to modify Dug's contract. For this reason, they are even willing to convert all 88.88 million US dollars into guarantees. However, Lin Weiwei rejected them.

Now the initiative is in the hands of Dugger, and Dugger clearly stated in that contract: If Dugger can trigger all the reward clauses in the first three years, he will have the right to terminate the contract early.

The reason why Nike agreed to this condition at the beginning was that they stated in the contract: If Dug did not trigger any incentive clauses in the first two years, they could buy out the contract with 2 million US dollars.

Now, with the court strength shown by Doug, he has almost met all the reward conditions for the previous three years.

Nike certainly has some headaches.

It has been so brilliant in the past year, and in two more years, he still won't be able to go to heaven? In case he jumps to Adidas at that time, it will be difficult for Nike to ensure that its position as the sports brand hegemony will not be shaken.
