Nba: The Body Chosen By God At The Beginning Plus Perfect Imitation

Chapter 72: Sky-high contract, back-to-back battles with the Nets (begging to subscribe!)

Don’t be too Leblanc!

This sentence has gradually become popular in the league and has become a must-have for trash talk in the game.

LeBron James has completely shut down social media. This period of time is definitely an extremely difficult process for him.

But things will eventually pass, and he firmly believes that there will be a sunny day after the rain!

but.

The impact of this game was not just on his reputation.

The most affected thing is actually the sneaker contract endorsed by LeBron James - Nike.

Prior to this, the sales of the LeBlanc series of boots were not very satisfactory.

On the contrary, the game shoes worn by Xiao Bei in every game will become the object of competition among fans.

However, judging from the current technology and design concepts alone, big brands like Nike and Adidas are more influential.

In this case, the sales volume of the sneaker contract endorsed by LeBlanc is not ideal, but it is within the acceptable range. At least some fans still buy it.

But after this game, after LeBlanc came out with the words "Don't be too big", LeBlanc's sneaker sales plummeted.

Along with Nike's overall sales, there has also been a cliff-like decline.

This made Nike President Phil Knight completely unable to sit still.

The original signing of Michael Jordan brought Nike back to life, and gradually grew into the league's major sneaker brand endorser.

This made Phil very excited and very confident about the future development of the brand.

Signing LeBron James at a sky-high price this year is a big step for the team's full development.

I just didn’t expect that the span of this step was a bit big, and the egg was directly pulled...

Not only did the signing of LeBlanc not bring the desired benefits, but it also had a negative impact on the entire brand!

If a solution cannot be found in a short period of time, the losses suffered by Nike will be immeasurable!

But in this matter, LeBron James is not at fault.

He has always played like this, but this time he met Xiao Bei.

Coupled with the fact that Cavaliers fans and New York fans started a war of words before the game, the final impact of this game reached the current situation.

It is simply unrealistic to try to save the situation from LeBron James.

Regardless of LeBron James, there is only one way for the Nike team to reverse the decline, and that is to sign Xiao Bei!

As long as we can sign Xiao Bei, with his influence and personal strength, everything will be solved!

It’s just that Xiao Bei has always been on the sidelines regarding the sneaker signing.

The company has provided him with multiple quotes, but still has not received any reply from the other party.

"Kanpur, the time has come when the company needs you. I hope you can negotiate with Xiao's agent on behalf of Nike. Nothing else is important. I just want to know one thing, does Xiao have the idea of ​​signing a sneaker contract this year?"

After serious consideration, Phil Knight decided to let Camper explore the road first.

As long as Xiao Bei has the intention to sign a contract with a sneaker brand, no matter what the price is, he must win over Xiao Bei this time!

Otherwise, Nike's losses will be immeasurable!

"Don't worry, President, I will fulfill my mission!"

Kanpur left the president's office with unusual determination and immediately contacted Xiao Bei's agent, Rashawn Sol.

I just made a call for two hours, and the other party always showed that I was talking to Chen!

Rashawn Soule has been busy as of late.

The calls come one after another every day, and the situation of mobile phones running out of battery often occurs.

Among them, some are discussing business cooperation with Dwyane Wade.

But the vast majority of players are discussing cooperation with Xiao Bei.

Xiao Bei's current influence in the league is no worse than that of superstars.

Even surpassed superstars.

After all, in addition to the influence brought by his performance, Xiao Bei also has a unique advantage - a Chinese background!

As the largest contributor to the NBA's overseas market, the influence of Chinese fans has reached a decisive level.

And compared with the American market, which has been almost developed, the development prospects of the Chinese market are particularly promising.

In this case, Xiao Bei's own strength, combined with his existing identity, instantly made him the most popular player among brand owners.

It’s just that I’m currently looking for Xiao Bei’s endorsement, and it’s all kinds of weird.

Rashawn Soule basically said no.

At present, the most important thing is the sneaker contract, which accounts for the majority of the many contract endorsements.

"Dingling bell~"!"

"Jingle Bell!"

As soon as Rashawn Saul hung up the phone, a new call came in.

This time the call came from Kanpur.

The two discussed whether Xiao Bei would consider signing a contract with a brand this year.

Rashawn Sol also gave a clear reply.

"I will definitely sign the contract, but it depends on the sincerity!"

After receiving this answer, Kanpur was very excited and immediately found President Phil Knight.

"Sincerity?"

Hearing Kanpur's response, Phil nodded thoughtfully.

"Convene a meeting immediately. No matter what happens today, we must show the sincerity that Xiao wants!"

Nike is still discussing exchanges, but Converse has already begun to take action.

Converse's influence in the 20th century is still there.

Although it is not as good as the already rising Adidas and Nike, it is definitely a very strong brand.

Converse's peak period was in the 20th century. At that time, Converse provided the league's game shoes.

It was not until the sneaker policy was liberalized that the national prestige slowly began to decline.

In fact, from a normal perspective, Converse’s development could not be better than it is now.

The main reason why good cards are played sparsely is the inaction of the management.

There are many big-name stars in the league, but Converse is either unwilling to spend money or thinks they don't have enough influence.

In the end, after picking and choosing, others took away the good ones, leaving only a bunch of expensive and uninfluential ones...

This time, Converse is determined to make a comeback.

They were the first brand to offer Xiao Bei an endorsement contract with an annual salary of 1,500 yuan.

The five-year endorsement contract of RMB 75 million is definitely the highest offer in the history of the entire league.

Rashawn Sol also told Xiao Bei the news immediately.

“75 million in 5 years, I didn’t expect Converse to be really willing to spend money!”

To be honest, Converse’s quotation was a bit beyond Xiao Bei’s imagination.

It is said that a skinny camel is bigger than a horse.

It seems that if Converse is really serious, it will also be a force that cannot be underestimated among sneaker brands.

"How about Xiao, are you interested in doing something?"

Rashawn Sol is very satisfied with this offer.

This endorsement contract is even higher than that of Young, which feels great.

"Don't worry, when it comes to sneaker endorsements, you must learn to take a long-term view to catch the big fish!"

Xiao Bei is still as stable as a rock.

Converse can offer such a high price, which shows that Xiao Bei’s market value is definitely there.

Since it can be recognized, then just wait and see about this matter.

He believes there will be someone who can't sit still more than him!

"Let's find a way to let out a little bit of news, just say that Converse has provided us with a quotation, but there is no need to disclose the specific contract, just say that the price is astronomical!"

Rashawn Sol instantly understood Xiao Bei's thoughts.

For some reason, he actually had the illusion that Xiao Bei was more suitable to be an agent than him!

Sure enough, excellent people are excellent everywhere.

"What about Xiao Kuang Weili?"

"Just refuse it. Find a reason yourself. If it doesn't work, just blame it on me!"

Converse did not have a good impression on Xiao Bei.

Regardless of the impact of other aspects, from the perspective of basketball alone, the design concept and comfort of Converse sneakers have a lot of room for improvement.

As a brand with a long history, it is definitely necessary to maintain the original foundation, not to mention getting better and better.

But it's better now.

Not to mention maintaining it, not even half of it...

This kind of brand is destined to be forgotten by history, so let it roll with the wheels of history.

When it comes to sneaker endorsements, Xiao Bei leaves it to Rashawn Sol.

Don't be suspicious when you employ people, don't use people when you are suspicious.

Since he chose Rashawn Soule, Xiao Bei naturally trusts him unconditionally.

After the showdown with the Cleveland Cavaliers, the Knicks will challenge the New Jersey Nets back to back.

As the Eastern Conference champion last season, the Nets have reached the finals for two consecutive years.

Although the final outcome is very similar, they all ended in failure.

But this still cannot deny the strength of the Nets.

They say that losing to your opponent in the finals is the biggest loser.

But you know, many people are not even qualified to be the biggest loser!

Especially being the biggest loser two years in a row!

And if you want to be the biggest loser, you must first become the winner of the Eastern Conference and the leader of the Eastern Conference!

From this aspect, the Nets' strength is definitely the top in the league.

This season's Nets still retain the core of the lineup. Their goal this year is also very clear, and they will once again attack the championship.

This contest between the Knicks and the Nets is even more difficult than the previous showdown with the Cavaliers.

The Nets' overall strength is much stronger than that of the Cavaliers, and the team's core point guard Jason Kidd is known as the magician of the end of the century.

In addition, Kenyon Martin, Richard Jefferson, etc. are also very impactful players.

In addition, the Knicks are playing back-to-back games again.

In this game, it is generally believed that the Knicks will leave the New Jersey Nets in defeat!

After just a few hours of rest in New Jersey, the Knicks faced off against the New Jersey Nets.

"..." I also followed the last game between the Knicks and the Cavaliers. To be honest, Xiao's performance was shocking. You can't imagine that LeBlanc and Xiao were rookies in the same class!"

"To be fair, I don't think LeBron James' performance is that bad. On the contrary, I think he has done a good job. After all, as a rookie, he can hit 20 not long after joining the league. The data of +8+7 is already comparable to many superstars!"

"It's a pity that he met Xiao. This performance that made him look good turned into a hip-stretching performance in an instant. I can only say that entering the league in the same year as Xiao "is LeBron James's biggest misfortune!"

Jason Kidd spoke eloquently in the pre-game interview.

He is also the first player in the entire league to speak out for LeBron James.

From an objective point of view, Kidd's statement is absolutely understandable and even very pertinent.

But today, Kidd is not just an interviewer, but also the core point guard of the Nets.

But in the interview, he (well) did not mention a word about the content of the game, but talked about insignificant things, which is enough to show that he

Inner calm.

"This game is not fair to the Knicks. They are tired from the journey and are short of men and horses, while we are waiting to work and recuperate. The starting points of both sides are different, but since this

It's a competition, so all unfairness can only be said in private. When it comes to the competition field, we will not show mercy!"

When Kenyon Martin faced the media, he emphasized the Knicks' back-to-back problem.

Obviously, in his understanding, the Knicks will not perform well in this game.

The reason for making such an emphasis is also a reflection of self-confidence.

He believes that victory will definitely belong to New Jersey, but he just doesn't want to leave a reputation of being invincible in the future.

"Back-to-backs are also part of the game. I have never thought about this. I hope everyone will focus on the game and the strength of both sides, rather than this irrelevant thing.

Need analysis!”

When Xiao Bei faced the media, his expression was very unhappy.

The most talked about thing he heard today was the impact that back-to-back games had on him with the Knicks.

Although he also knew that this was not the media's initiative to stir up trouble.

After all, there have never been back-to-back steals in previous college championships.

Coupled with this back-to-back schedule and not being in the same place, many newcomers who have just joined the league will experience discomfort in such games.

Either he is exhausted or his condition is unstable.

But Xiao Bei still didn't want such reports to be confused with him.

In his eyes, there is never such a thing as back-to-back!
