Reverse Growth Superstar

At the end of the draft, Anthony Bennett became much-anticipated. As a strong swingman in the 3rd and 4th positions, Cavaliers fans hope that the man they choose will become the next LeBron James.

Bennett has received unprecedented attention, and he has never been so sought after in his life.

Interviews, advertisements, endorsements... The moment Bennett was selected, his world seemed to change dramatically. In an instant, he had a feeling of being wrapped in the whole world.

After all, the champion in the draft is also the champion, and the lean camel is also bigger than the horse. The media do not hype Bennett, who will do the hype?

But just one day later, Anthony Bennett's popularity was immediately robbed by another person. At that moment Bennet realized that he was just a little rookie. Compared with the real boss, he is nothing.

The night after the draft was over, when people were still commenting on the highlights of Bennett's college era. An official announcement by Nike surprised the whole world.

"Link will continue to stay with the Nike team, the first generation of signature shoes will be launched soon..."

In a simple sentence, it seems nothing special. But knowledgeable fans know that if Nike wants to send this sentence, it can't cost less than 285 million US dollars!

Generally speaking, sneaker manufacturers will not actively announce the amount of the contract signed with the spokesperson. This is not like a contract between a team and a player, which is not completely transparent.

However, reporters and experts from various basketball circles can easily get the price of the contract. Therefore, although the amount of the sneaker contract is not disclosed, it is basically translucent.

Just after Nike’s official announcement, ESPN’s famous ESPN reporter David Aldridge immediately broke the news, “The value of the shoe contract reached between Link and Nike is more than US$300 million!”

Sneakers contract endorsement, 300 million! For the fans, this is an astronomical figure!

A few years ago, the billion-dollar contract signed by Ross and Adidas was shocking enough. It is hard to imagine that a player can get hundreds of millions of dollars in endorsement fees alone.

Now, Link and Nike's contract renewal is undoubtedly subverting everyone's imagination. After everyone thought that Under Armour’s 285 million was already an unsurpassable number, Nike directly increased the price to the first three characters.

300 million US dollars for ten years, an average of 30 million US dollars per year, which is equivalent to a maximum salary!

All of a sudden, the basketball ring exploded. Anthony Bennett instantly turned into an inconspicuous pebble under the exaggerated figure of Link and 300 million US dollars.

"300 million? Nike is crazy, Link is just a loser!"

"His performance last season was indeed perfect, but no one knows if he can stabilize this performance in the next 10 years."

Some people naturally questioned Nike's contract. Is Link really worth so much money?

"Hurry up and take my money, I want to buy Link's signature shoes!"

"Link's signature shoes are definitely great, because he is a cool guy, and he will definitely inject many elements into his sneakers!"

Some people only care about the shoes themselves, they believe in Link's business appeal.

"Link led the team to the championship in only the third grade. Throughout the history of the NBA, people who can do this have become superstars. Dwyane Wade, Tim Duncan, Larry Bird, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and even the Magicians have won championships in the first three years of their careers. Therefore, Nike is definitely not a profitable trade."

"Link is the most promising player in the league right now, and his future is immeasurable. $300 million is indeed a lot, but Link is completely worthy of this price."

Similarly, there are many fans who believe that everything Link gets deserves.

His performance this year is obvious to all. This is not a good performance in two games, but a championship!

Take a look at Link's achievements last season. 10 three-pointers in the half and 13 three-pointers broke the NBA single-game three-point record. Leading the team to 70 wins, breaking the best record in a single season since the 21st century. 50 points in the playoffs, triple-double in the finals, double-one, FMVP...

These alone are worth 300 million US dollars in absolute terms. Because these things can't be obtained by luck.

As long as there are no injuries, Link will undoubtedly become the next phenomenal player.

Reading the news about himself, Link felt so sorry. Just signing a sneaker contract ruthlessly robbed Bennett of his heat.

But speaking of it, Link is quite excited about having his own signature shoes.

Signature shoes not only make a player earn a lot of money, but also a recognition of his strength and status.

But any player who has his own signature shoe, who is not a superstar?

Although Link also knows that not everyone will be smooth sailing after signing the signature shoe contract. But he will work hard to keep the accident away from himself.

Now, Link’s most important thing this summer has been resolved. Next, Link and Rachel will go to Spain for vacation again.

Of course, this time is not to visit Gasol's vegetable field, but to attend Gasol's wedding!

Gasol does not want to be disturbed by too many people, so the wedding was not public, and reporters were not invited to attend. Only called some relatives and friends, most of the Grizzlies are included.

Players can now start to enjoy their holidays with peace of mind, but Robert Pella and Grizzlies general manager Chris Wallace are at their busiest stage.

After the war in the sneaker market is over, the war in the free agent market is about to begin. Although the Grizzlies are the defending champion, the defending champion usually does not change the lineup.

But this summer, it is impossible for the Grizzlies to stand still. The core lineup will certainly not change, but the role players will inevitably undergo some changes.

Don't underestimate the importance of role players. If it wasn't for Nick Young who suddenly scored 9 points in 1 minute, the Grizzlies would have to say otherwise.

The core lineup and stars determine the upper limit of the team, while the pros and cons of the role players determine the lower limit of the team.

In addition to the players, the biggest headache for Pella and Wallace now is to decide who the team coach will be next season.

After Doug Rivers entered the Los Angeles Clippers, Stevens immediately reached an agreement with the Celtics to fill the vacancy left by Rivers.

The Clippers got their championship coach as they wished, and the Celtics also got their championship coach. But who will fill the vacancy for the Grizzlies? This is still unknown.

After discussion, Pella and Wallace decided to let Dave Georgel take the post and promote him from chief assistant to head coach.

Although Georgel is young, he doesn't have as strong on-the-spot commanding ability like Stevens.

But after all, he led the team to the championship last season as the chief assistant. He is familiar with the team, understands the team's system, and gets along well with the players. If the Grizzlies demand stability, Georgel is the most suitable candidate.

Last season, the Grizzlies selected Stevens, which was Pella's choice for reforms. But now, when the Grizzlies have become the world champion, Pella wants only stability.

So soon, the Grizzlies official announced that Georgel will serve as the head coach of the Grizzlies next season. But the trouble is not over yet, Georg is the head coach, and Pera must find another assistant coach to join the team.

So, on the first day of the free agency market, the Grizzlies also started open recruitment~www.wuxiaspot.com~ As the defending champion, the Grizzlies’ recruitment has received a violent response, and countless well-known or unknown coaches Come to sign up for an interview. As there are more people, Pella and Wallace will naturally get busier.

"I thought there would only be a few people here. I didn't expect that there would be so many applications." Wallace looked at the thick resumes on his desk, and felt his brain hurt.

"Of course, after all, who doesn't want to be gilded on the team that just won the championship? But I did not expect that we would receive Jason Kidd's resume. Hahahaha, that guy doesn't need to prepare a resume at all, who doesn't I know his resume." Although Pella was tired, she was very happy. From the current point of view, there are still many capable people who sign up immediately.

"Kid is probably no play. I heard that he and the Nets are close to signing. In Brooklyn, he has the head coach position." Wallace spread his hands. Kidd is so famous that he is rushing for his team. Too much.

Just retired as a player and plunged into the coaching battlefield, Kidd's transformation can be said to be very rapid.

"In any case, we must choose the most suitable one, not the most famous one. Georgel is a good coach, but he does have many shortcomings. Therefore, his helpers must be capable."

Pella said, flipping through her resume.

A photo of one of them attracted Pera's attention. This guy with eagle-eyed nose and green eyes, plus a long messy hair, made him look like he had written the word "bad guy" directly on his face.

He looks too much like a villain!

The curious Pella looked at the name of this house, Quinn Snyder, a very rare name.

Um..... really an impressive guy.
