The opening three-pointer in basketball
Chapter 546 Adi also refuses
Wells did not publicize his story, and many people did not know that Bai Yi rejected Nike's super contract.
If this news spreads, it will definitely attract the attention of many people.
I'm afraid that many people in the league will envy Bai Yi. After all, although Nike has signed a lot of money in the league, in fact, the average endorsement fee for the average All-Star is only two to three million US dollars.
There are only a handful of people in the league with tens of millions of dollars in endorsements like James and Durant.
Even Garnett didn't get an endorsement deal from Nike.
So this Nike contract is actually full of sincerity, and they really put a lot of effort into it.
The day after Wells left, Adidas' general manager Mark Vidor came to Minnesota in person, where he would visit Bai Yi.
Mark Vido is forty years old this year. Relatively speaking, he is at an age where he is in the prime of life and can show off his power.
He came here just to take Adidas' career a step further, especially to surpass Nike in the basketball field.
Adidas is originally a stronger existence than Nike, and their history is longer than Nike.
For a long time in the past, Adidas has been the world's number one sports brand.
Nike was the fucking little brother back then.
But the arrogant Adi soon paid the price for being too contemptuous of the basketball stars of the beautiful country.
They think the world belongs to football, and if they win football stars, they can have enough to eat.
But then Nike signed Jordan, and Jordan went out of the circle. His basketball shoes became a symbol of fashion, and everyone liked them very much.
So the beautiful country, the world's largest sports market, was occupied by Nike.
Europe is still dominated by Adidas.
But Adidas’ market value lags far behind that of Nike.
Adidas has been seeking breakthroughs in recent years, but unfortunately, league superstars generally look down on Adidas.
Kobe, Durant, and James are all Nike players.
Last year when Bai Yi was just rising, Adi had the opportunity to sign Bai Yi, but unfortunately they did not cherish it.
Now Mark Vido regretted it so much that he came here personally just to capture Bai Yi.
He has prepared a very generous contract, and he believes that Bai Yi will make the right choice.
With such confidence, Mark Vido came to Bai Yi's small villa.
Bai Yi was sleeping at this time, but he got up immediately and met with Mark Vido.
At this time, most of the players have gone out to play. Even if they are at home, they will not be honest and act like party beauties all day long.
There are really too few people like Bai Yi.
Mark Vido had already arranged for people to investigate Bai Yi's situation, and found out that Bai Yi was basically either sleeping or training, and was completely in a state of social fear.
Although Bai Yi's character seems uncool in European and American society, Mark Vido likes him very much.
Messi, Adidas’ current top star, is also a social terror.
But they don't make trouble and are very active in everything they do.
Mark Vido likes people like Bai Yi.
"Bai, you are really a natural athlete. I like players like you."
Bai Yi smiled, "What's wrong with Mr. Mark?"
Mark Vido nodded, "Yes, Bai, I don't think you should stay at Anta. You deserve to go to a greater company, such as our Adidas."
He continued: "We have prepared a lot for you, you will definitely like it."
Bai Yi will naturally not switch to Adidas. After all, he has rejected Nike. If he really wants to break the contract, why not sign with Nike?
At least Nike really has a high influence in the NBA.
However, out of politeness and curiosity, he listened quietly.
"We will give you a contract worth 40 million U.S. dollars, Bai, a full 40 million U.S. dollars, without any moisture at all."
"Add the sneaker share, and you'll have more than 50 million a year."
It’s similar to Nike, both cost over $50 million.
It is indeed full of sincerity.
Mark Vido then said: "Bai, you are now an absolute star in the beautiful country and Asia, but you are still lacking in Europe. As long as you sign with Adidas, we will arrange more linkages between you and Messi."
"You will definitely become the number one basketball star in Europe, perhaps second only to Messi and Ronaldo in popularity."
In Europe, football is undoubtedly the number one sport.
And the influence of basketball is not even as good as cricket and tennis.
But if Adi is really willing to spend resources on Baiyi's public relations, with his strength, he might really be able to become the second-largest person in Europe after Messi and Ronaldo.
Bai Yi nodded and did not answer.
Mark Vido was happy, and he felt Bai Yi's heart was moved.
"Also, we will provide you with the latest sneakers, which are our latest designs and contain a lot of high technology to help you run better."
"Bai, I have the relevant technology authorization certificate here. Please believe me, wearing our sneakers, you will definitely be more calm on the court."
When Bai Yi heard this, he was slightly moved.
He himself has actually compared it secretly. As for the popular sneakers, the sneakers at home and abroad are actually similar. He does not say that the quality of Nike and Adidas is better.
But as far as star customized models are concerned, he has seen the James sneakers worn by Tucker.
Those shoes are really good, even better than his shoes.
but……
If he breaks the contract for this reason, it will probably hit domestic brands even harder.
He thought for a while, shook his head, and rejected Mark Vido.
"This...why is this?"
Mark Vittor's face was filled with disbelief. He couldn't understand why Bai Yi would refuse more fame and more money.
Bai Yi repeated what he had said to Wells before.
Mark Vido nodded regretfully.
"Bai, will you go to the London Olympics?"
"Of course I will go. I will rest here for a few days, and then I will return to China to prepare for the Olympics."
In fact, the national team is already ready to welcome Bai Yi.
Bai Yi also communicated with head coach Deng Huade, and the exchanges between the two sides were very friendly.
He is already looking forward to returning to the national team and training with his teammates.
But after all, the NBA Finals had just ended, and in the following days, Bai Yi was celebrating or being interviewed basically every day.
He is actually very tired.
He felt that he should take a rest and let his body relax completely before preparing for the next Olympic Games.
After all, even a car cannot always be refueled and needs to be shut down for maintenance.
Not to mention humans, so Bai Yi did not return home immediately.
After hearing this, Mark Vido nodded and left.
Bai Yi is going to participate in the Olympics, and when his three-pointers fly over London, I'm afraid there will be another whirlwind.
It's a pity that it doesn't belong to Adi.
Fortunately, it is not inferior to Nike.
Mark Vido sighed and then left the small villa.
Bai Yi yawned, then went upstairs to sleep.
He found that sleeping was addictive, and the more he slept, the more he wanted to sleep. Fortunately, he felt that his physical condition was getting better and better, so he did not interfere too much.
