Chapter 366 Best of the week (recommendation for the big chapter~)

The episode of this day passed quickly, and Tang Qian returned to the right track of life.

This week's best player in the NBA is out. In the East is Kyrie Irving. His personal data this week is 26.7 points, 9.1 assists and 4.0 rebounds. The team has a record of 3 wins and 1 loss.What about the West?Undoubtedly, Tang Qian got it. Other statistics are easy to say. This week, he averaged 41.4 rebounds per game and grabbed a total of 207 rebounds. The team has won all 5 games. This is something no one can compete with hard data.And 5 rebounds in 207 games, and an average of 41.4 rebounds per game in a week, has also been written into the history of the NBA.

The best player of the week and the highest winner in the NBA, Tang Qian remembers that he is the future LeBron James. It seems that the number of times is as high as 50+. With his high school student capital and stable performance for ten years, he may be able to reach a terrifying 60+ times before retiring.This record is absolutely unprecedented, and there will be no one in the future.Because the NBA no longer allows high school students to directly enter the league, this disadvantage is too obvious in terms of age. It is very unlikely that future generations will want to break Zhan Huang's best record of the week.

What?How many times have you asked God Joe?
Well, in fact, Qiao Shen didn't have many best times of the week, and "only" won 15 times in 25 years.

Why so "few" you ask?
This is also due to era reasons and historical reasons, because the NBA's best award of the week was before the 2001-2002 season, regardless of the difference between the East and the West.This means that the NBA's best of the week before the 2001-2002 season was the best of the week in the entire league, not the current best of the week in the Western Conference and the best in the Eastern Conference.From this point of view, God Qiao's record is quite appalling.If the East and West were divided into the best weeks in that era, with Jordan's status in the league and personal data, doubling is the least.Even if it is not aesthetic fatigue, it is not impossible for his old man to score 70+.

Although it seems that the players before 2001-2002 suffered a disadvantage, there is no doubt that Zhou's best gold content was at that time.

The best week in the East and the best week in the West are far less than the best week in the league.

However, this is also the first time Tang Qian has won this award, and his career is getting more and more on track.

And compared to last season's Best Rookie of the Month award, this award is undoubtedly heavier.

Because of this award, Tang Qian gained the right to "open the box" again.

Choose one of the two bronze treasure chests.

pick one of two?Isn't it one of three?How did it become an alternative?Is this a system loophole in the "Different Space"?
Looking at the two bronze boxes in front of him, Tang Qian was slightly startled.

But soon, he guessed the key to the problem. It is estimated that the level and difficulty of opening the box are given based on the difficulty of winning the award.In other words, the "Different Space" judged the NBA's best award of the week, and its gold content or difficulty in obtaining it was higher than the best rookie award of the month.So three bronze boxes became two.

This makes your probability of getting items changed from one-third to one-half.

It seems that my own understanding and exploration of "alien space" is far from enough.

Tang Qiang said.

As for how to open the box, Tang Qian had already thought about it, closing his eyes, it all depends on luck.

In this way, firstly, you will be decisive without hesitation, and secondly, you will be much less concerned about gains and losses.

well, come on!

Tang Qian touched a bronze box with his eyes closed, and when he opened his eyes, he immediately showed joy and said, "Sure enough, my brother's luck is not bad~ hehe~"

"Huh? Wait? A complete ability card was issued directly? Not a fragment? Does this mean..."

"If you open the box, you can get the complete ability card at once?"

"Hmm, it's very possible! It looks like this 'different space', I have to 'dig deep' when I have time~"

……

"This is a contract from the sneaker manufacturer, you can use your computer to look at it now." Zhou Zhiru said in a serious voice on the other end of the phone.

"Okay, I'll take a look." Tang Qian opened his e-mail to check, and the first thing he saw was the Reebok brand, which offered 2 million US dollars for 500 years.Reebok is an old British brand, but its quotation and sincerity made Tang Qian frown. $2 million in 500 years?If this was a good offer before he played crazy for a week, it would be too cheap now.

Not to mention that compared with James' first Nike contract, which was $7 million in seven years, even some second-tier players got far more money than this.It's too beautiful to want to trap yourself with the contract of a third-rate player.

There is nothing to say, this contract was directly passed.

The next one is Puma, commonly known as Puma. It is a sports brand company in Germany. The former NBA spokesperson is the famous "UFO" Vince Carter.The price they offered is relatively high, 2 million US dollars in two years, which is already quite sincere in the current market situation.But Tang Qian lacked interest in this company, because Carter unilaterally terminated the contract with Puma back then. The reason was that the design of the sneakers was not suitable and scientific, and it was easy to get injured on the field.And he would rather bear a liquidated damages of 1500 million U.S. dollars, but also make a clean break with Puma, which can be seen.So Tang Qian was absolutely unwilling to choose this company.

The third is the offer from New Balance in the United States, 3 million in 2000 years. This should be to test the waters, because it was stated in the email sent by Zhou Zhiru that there is no such sports company in the NBA.Maybe signing himself is to open up the basketball market.

The fourth is Asics from Japan. There is nothing to say about this one, so it will be ignored directly.

The fifth is from Converse, offering 3 million for 1200 years, plus 1% to 3% of the total sales of sneakers.Converse is an old brand in the United States, and even in the NBA for a long time, Converse is the overlord of the basketball shoe industry. In 1991, Converse was still the NBA's designated game shoe.But it is a pity that due to the poor vision of the company in the later stage and repeated failure to seize the opportunities of the times, it finally went bankrupt in 2001.The irony is that it was none other than Nike who bought Converse.The so-called "Yangtze River waves push forward the waves behind", this sentence can not be more appropriate here.

So now, Converse is already a branch brand of Nike.

Zhou Zhiru noted next to the contract that this is a trial move by Nike. If Tang Qian performs well, he will directly sign with Nike in the future. If Tang Qian does not perform well, he will always be a subsidiary of Converse.

Nike?Actually signed me with one of its brands?Or Converse?You at least have to use Jordan shoes, right?

Tang Qian felt a little disappointed. After all, his original intention belonged to the Nike brand, because the generation born in the 80s and 90s has a special liking for this sports brand.

It is said that Nike has vision and is willing to spend money. Jordan, Kobe, James, the league's signature players are all your people, but why can't you see me?Tang Qian was a little unhappy, because Nike's move made him very sullen.

The last one is the endorsement contract is from AND1.

This is a non-mainstream sports brand that is not well-known in China but is very popular in the United States.

Of course, this non-mainstream is not non-mainstream as understood in China, but the literal meaning, not mainstream.

In fact, it is hardly seen in official basketball games, but on the street, it is unique.It can even be said that its status on the street far exceeds that of Nike and Adidas.In addition, its founder is very young, and he is only about 40 years old now.In the face of Converse, Nike, and Adidas, which have five or sixty years or even hundreds of years of background monsters, AND60, which was founded in 1993, is indeed no different from the little ants.

But 10 years ago, it was also a trendy brand, but later, due to lack of business philosophy and innovation, this brand almost disappeared in the East.In the United States, its life is not easy. With the increasing influence of professional basketball, AND1, which implements the street strategy, feels the decline of "forced".From 2012 to 2013, it has gone through many "marriages" and "remarriages". The original group of key personnel did not survive.

So now AND1 is affiliated to Galaxy.Brands, which is the Galaxy brand. However, the Galaxy brand company is not having a good time recently, and has been caught in frequent acquisition turmoil.AND1, which lives under its banner, is naturally unavoidable.At present, the three original founders of AND1 have only the youngest Seth Berger left. Tom Austin and Jay Gilbert have sold their AND1 shares early and left the AND1 movement brand.Among the three, only Seth Berger is reluctant to part with the brand he founded, so he is still struggling to hold on.But to be honest, he is also a normal person, and he also needs life and career. If AND1 doesn't improve, he really can only reluctantly give up.

And re-signing NBA players is the first step for Seth Berger, although this business strategy has been unanimously opposed by AND1 executives, saying that AND1 should focus on the streets, and distraction is an extremely stupid strategic approach.But Seth Berger, who was about to turn 40, still withstood the pressure and became "dictatorial".

The conditions given were almost insane.

2 million US dollars in 2500 years plus... 10% of the global sneaker sales profit dividend? ? ? ! ! !
This cost is already at the top level in the modern basketball world. You must know that Jordan's dividend ratio in Nike is only 4%~5%.For example, in 2013 next year, the total sales of Jordan shoes in the United States will be as high as 22.5 billion US dollars.And do you know how much the total basketball shoe market in the United States is? In 8000, it was about 2013 billion US dollars, which means that the market share of Jordan shoes in the United States exceeded 40%.To make a simple analogy, Jordan shoes are one of the two pairs of basketball shoes sold in the United States.

Terrible!
And Nike gave Jordan "only" dividends in the US market, but what about AND1?But directly gave the global market dividends.Although the net profit and sales of the two are very different, and they are not on the same level at all, AND1's determination is beyond Tang Qian's expectations.But for this brand, to be honest, he is not too cold, because AND1 is too small in terms of technology and market, and it is not even as good as Nike and Adidas.And according to Zhou Zhiru's note, this company is already on the brink of collapse, and it seems completely uneconomical to enlist herself for the sake of immediate interests.

Because drawing cakes to satisfy one's hunger, any company can do it, especially a company that is on the verge of collapse. In order to grasp the last straw, it can ignore it.After Tang Qian thought for a long time, he called Zhou Zhiru again and said, "Is that all? Didn't Nike and Adidas send the contract?" "No." Zhou Zhiru quickly replied, "Because you It is now well known that the Chinese market has been blocked, and without the potential support of the Greater China region, neither Nike nor Adidas would choose to take risks." After finishing speaking, Zhou Zhiru added: "At least Right now, they're definitely not going to do anything."

"Really?" Tang Qian asked Zhou Zhiru after thinking for a while, "Then as a manager, do you have any good advice?"

"You can choose to wait for the time being. Anyway, even if you sign the contract now, it will be next season to release your exclusive basketball shoes, so you still have enough time to think about it slowly." Zhou Zhiru said: "Of course, promotion Your performance on the court is the most important thing. If there are more performances like last week, then I'm sure that even if you don't have the Greater China market, Nike and Adidas will not be able to bear it." "You're right Lightness, that kind of performance, I feel like I'm dreaming, okay?" Tang Qian replied with a wry smile.

"Really? Then you can do your best. I will help you draw up a schedule for the shooting time of the advertisement."

"Advertising? Oh, I almost forgot about it, so I'll trouble you." Tang Qian said.

"It's okay, this is what I should do." Zhou Zhiru still said with a businesslike attitude: "I have nothing else to do, so I'll hang up first, goodbye." After speaking, the other end of the phone lost her voice.

"This Zhou Zhiru, is it necessary to change so much? I almost forgot what she was like in China." Tang Qian shook his head and put down his phone.

Two days later, on December 2012, 12, US time, the annual Christmas in the West came.

After several days of rest for the Lakers, the physical condition of all members of the Lakers has recovered a lot. At least Tang Qian himself feels much more relieved physically.But he didn't rest completely, because according to D'Antoni, he needed to practice with Nash for two hours a day.The things to practice together are mainly pick-and-rolls, high-post and up-and-up pick-and-rolls.

Originally, this was something Howard should practice hard, but for some reason, this "happy beast" has always been superstitious that he is a low-post killer, so he has always had a flat attitude when it comes to picking and rolling, and feels that every practice is coping attitude towards things.

This made Mike D'Antoni and Steve Nash frown secretly. After all, if you want to play a good "run-and-gun tactic", the pick-and-roll of inside players is an indispensable part, and it is also Nash who controls the ball. After power, the most urgent method to solve positional warfare.However, "Warcraft" always obeys the law and violates the law, reluctantly, which makes Mike D'Antoni's tactics and the organizational ability of "Zonda" unable to exert the maximum effect.

As for why not use Pau Gasol?First, because Gasol is getting older, he frequently comes out to do high pick-and-rolls with guards, which is a huge drain on physical fitness and defense.Secondly, Gasol's athletic ability is poor. Although he has a certain open mid-range ability, this is not the most important part of Mike D'Antoni's tactical system.Steve Nash also needs to be paired with an inside player with high athletic ability in order to maximize the energy of the No. 1 position.

Why is he in the Mavericks, obviously the peak period of the athlete, but he can't always show his full strength?Instead, after getting older and going to the sun, did he become extraordinary?Although there are many other complicated reasons for this, it is also an indisputable fact that Steve Nash's organizational style and style of play are more suitable for inside players with strong athletic ability.Otherwise, who would dare to say that Amare Stoudemire is better than "German Chariot" Nowitzki?
Obviously Dwight Howard is a good match with Steve Nash. If he is willing to give up the "low post killer" style of play, he can even continue to maintain efficient scoring and defense while reducing the risk of injury.But at this time, the former's head is such a "axis", and he would rather go to the low post to lose face than become the core of the team that "exists in name only" like the Magic period.

In this case, Steve Nash and Mike D'Antoni can only choose the second pick from within the Lakers.Tang Qian's performance during this period was eye-catching, and his style was tough and positive. At the same time, his playing style was extremely selfless and he didn't take up the ball very much, so naturally, he became the first choice of the two.

The development of history is sometimes such a "coincidence", a small opportunity is enough to change the entire future world.

PS: In order to improve the score a little bit, Xiaozi decided to modify the time of the outbreak. Try to put one chapter in the daytime or at 7-8 o'clock in the evening, and then keep the remaining chapter as it is, which is still the old time.In this way, if it explodes, the effect may be better.

The big chapter is here~ It broke out today~ The same [-]-character update, don’t miss it~~~
