My vision is different
Chapter 135 Mr. $5
Chapter 135 Mr. Fifty Million Dollars
The accommodation arranged by Pacers is very close to the stadium. Of course, it is not correct to say that. After all, this is only a city with a population of several hundred thousand. The distance from the airport to the city center is only [-] minutes. How big can such a city be?
Last night at the bar, Lin Shaojie was forced to drink at least a gallon of milk amidst the laughter of a group of people.
As a punishment for revenge, most of the team's main players and substitutes were forced down by Lin Shaojie.
Afterwards some people went home, and some also went home.Going home and going home are different, just like some people are single and some people are twins.
Lin Shaojie, a popular fried chicken, of course someone wants to join him, not the one he is in charge of.
But is Lin Shaojie that kind of person?
As a younger brother, he sent the players of the team to the car one by one, and paid the fare in advance thoughtfully. The whole city, how expensive is it to spend a foot of gas?
No matter whether he is the main player or the substitute, whether he is really drunk or fake drunk, Lin Shaojie, a rookie, can't fault his generosity and caring performance after the bar party.
Even Paul, the guy who had some friction with him during the day, was carried on the shoulder by Lin Shaojie and sent to the car.
That was a big guy weighing almost [-] kilograms, and he was resisted by Lin Shaojie just like that.
The overlord's sense of sight, which is so powerful that he can lift mountains and surpass the world, made everyone admire him.
On the second day, Paul (George) took the initiative to say hello to Lin Shaojie on the training ground. The whole team gave a warm welcome to this very interesting boy.
Lin Shaojie knew that his rookie joining ceremony was considered complete.
The media hadn't even found out about Lin Shaojie's whereabouts if it wasn't for the Pacers' official announcement.
I've never seen such a star, doesn't he know his commercial value?
Of course Lin Shaojie knew, but his focus was not on this.
On the second day, Lin Shaojie, who had completed the joining ceremony, was ready to familiarize himself with Frank's tactical training.
For the Pacers who lost to the Heat's Big Three last season, Frank thought of a new way. He found football clothes and let the players wear them to practice pick-and-roll tactics.
If there is any anger that has not had time to vent, everyone can vent it.
Just follow the pick-and-roll tactics.
Lin Shaojie also discovered that this pick-and-roll tactic is something that almost every coach cannot avoid, and so does Frank.
All pairs practice (play) very hard, only Paul George is a little perfunctory.
Just when Lin Shaojie was about to put on this defensive outfit, Frank stopped him.
"The people from Nike are here."
"Oh!"
Watching Lin Shaojie say goodbye to the coach, a group of players looked at each other.
At the party last night, George Hill said that the Pacers ushered in the best defensive player, and he felt the deepest during the day.
Facing those long arms and big palms, his throwing and passing efficiency is extremely low, as if he is facing death entanglement.
Lin Shaojie's defense in the half-court area has almost no weaknesses, and his eyes are very thorough. This is almost a perfect defensive player template, better than any defender George knows.
It couldn't be better to have such a defensive leader in the team.
Compared with defense, the kid's organization on the court is really good. He scored 20 assists in a team game, just like playing, and his vision is very wide.
At that time in the bar, Ian kept yelling, asking Lynn to bring him some more, and he was very happy during the day.Roy (Hibert), who was sitting next to him, turned green when he heard it.
Of course, green is just one color, there are always multiple colors in the bar, and there is no other additional meaning.
Anyway, the substitutes and main players in the team know that this player who showed a strong desire to attack on the London night is by no means a flash in the pan, and he is indeed very skilled in organization.
In such an unfamiliar environment, you can find out the weaknesses of your opponents and the characteristics of your teammates with just a short contact, and target them accordingly. At first glance, you look smart. This kind of person has a terrifyingly high golf quotient.
Today, many players wanted to chat with Lin Shaojie again, and it was close, but they were called away not long after they arrived.
George asked quickly.
"Frank, where did Lynn go, doesn't this kid need training?"
Frank spread his hands: "Maybe, the people from Nike are here, and this kid will soon be a multi-millionaire."
"Wow!"
When the players in the team heard this, they were either envious or jealous.
For this group of players, don't think about endorsements, it would be good to get a contract worth more than one million yuan, and the Pacers are not a rich team.
Counting the entire team, there are six players with a contract of less than one million dollars, and the least two players are less than half a million dollars a year. When they can achieve results and get a big contract, that is the business.
But Lin Shaojie signed a contract worth tens of millions of dollars with a flick of his finger, which is easier than playing basketball.
Even the few core players with an annual income of more than [-] million are quite envious of this.
Strikers, especially center players, may not be able to get big contracts, but their commercial value is low, and they are far less popular than defenders. Even if they want to get more than tens of millions of dollars in endorsements, it is difficult.
Lin Shaojie also did not expect that the second day after he arrived in Indiana was not training, but the final negotiation and signing with Nike.
Everyone wants to get everything done before the preseason, and Nike is no exception.
In the initial selection, Lin Shaojie gave priority to domestic brands, but excluding those brands that were not very authentic and wanted to use crooked means to force himself to sign, Lin Shaojie did not have many choices.
Li Wei's side is the closest. They know Lin Shaojie's influence in the domestic basketball world far better than overseas brands.
Maybe it's because of the distant fragrance and the near smell, or maybe it's because of "a fellow countryman sees a fellow countryman and shoots in the back". After Li Tuan won the naming rights of the CBA with a lot of money, of course he wanted to sign Lin Shaojie.
But in terms of price, they are not willing to pay too much. Before Lin Shaojie, they had already contacted some superstars in the NBA.
After Lin Shaojie entered the national team, Li Ning doubled his money, especially after Lin Shaojie scored a shocking 54 points in London Night.
However, compared with overseas brands, Li Shuo still gave too little, especially in terms of influence. The two sides are far apart, equal or even slightly worse. That's it.
More importantly, judging from the information fed back from all channels, in order to sign a superstar in the NBA, Li Tuo not only spent over [-] million US dollars in funds, but even took out company shares as bargaining chips.
Facing Lin Shaojie, who is "his own", Li Ting is only willing to pay less than one-third of the price.
Does Lin Shaojie care about money?
I don't care, but when money can measure a person's value, Li Xuan made it clear that he didn't think highly of himself.
"Whether it's NBA or European football, it's almost a default rule that local players get the highest salary and the highest endorsement. My apprentice is the number one player of the younger generation in terms of strength and influence, and he is still so Young man, are you disgusting us by taking out the money?"
This is what Xie Zhenghe said at the beginning.
"But Lin Shaojie is just a new star, and the price we give him is far higher than all the players in China, even including Kong Tianyi."
"As an inside player, can Space Yi compare with Lin Shaojie in terms of commercial value?"
Xie Zhenghe almost poked his finger in the other's face at the beginning, and finally took Lin Shaojie away in frustration.
The business team led by Lawrence looked at the business representative like a fool.
The latter thought that Lin Shaojie was putting on airs, or that he was waiting for a price. After all, that amount of money was a lot of money for domestic players and even Tai Tianyi.
But since then, Li Tuo and Lin Shaojie couldn't communicate with each other, and he had already rejected any offer from here. Only then did Li Tuo feel that something was wrong.
Of course, Lin Shaojie, who is "disheartened", can only choose between Adidas and Nike, but after analysis, the final choice is only one Nike.
Adidas has always wanted to have a hand in the NBA, but the "discrimination" problem of Adidas players and Nike's "dominance" in the NBA are all affecting the relationship between the two parties.
The point is that Nike is very knowledgeable about current affairs, and they are willing to spend a lot of money on making money.
A lot of money was paid, which is almost the same as that of Adidas. More importantly, he is willing to sign shoes for Lin Shaojie, which is very powerful.
Are signature shoes a matter of money?
That is respect and recognition. There are only a few players in the NBA who have signature shoes. Lin Shaojie, the "new star" and "rookie" in other people's mouth, actually has signature shoes. I'm afraid it's clear who was slapped in the face in the end.
So after the two parties negotiated and confirmed the details of the contract, they were about to sign it.
Of course, in terms of details, Lin Shaojie strongly requests to add one point:
The signed brand party must respect Huaguo's history and culture, and not interfere in politics, otherwise Lin Shaojie will unilaterally terminate the contract without paying liquidated damages.
Behind the simple meaning expressed by Lin Shaojie, the specific details make the scalps of legal professionals a little numb. The various wordings are very rigorous, and Nike is also helpless. The other treaties are almost the same.
Of course, the same is true for Lin Shaojie. If he has problems with violating the law such as du, the brand can also unilaterally solve them and seek compensation.
At that time, the Nike people were a little surprised. After all, in the details, even Ye Zi was written into the contract. Lin Shaojie was really cruel to himself!
There are too many people playing that in the NBA, and even many places have legalized it semi-default, which is similar to smoking (cigarettes).
"In our country, this is a very serious and serious matter, and we will not be careless about it."
Lin Shaojie spoke heavy words in a seemingly soft voice, and Nike expressed his approval.
Regardless of the atmosphere in the NBA locker room, whether other people are interested in this has nothing to do with him. For Lin Shaojie, that thing is the bottom line and cannot be touched.
Therefore, after the principled issues are confirmed, all that remains is to communicate the details between legal professionals, and finally wait for Lin Shaojie to put pen to paper and sign.
Of course, in addition to these, Nike still has some doubts about the signing time. Lin Shaojie gave a three-year or seven-year signing time. The former is short and the total price is low, but the unit price is high; the latter has a low unit price, but the total price high.
After deliberation on Nike's side, they finally made a way to learn from each other's strengths and make up for their weaknesses, using a four-year contract.
Arriving at the temporary press release center held by Nike, Lin Shaojie was greeted by a flood of flashing lights, almost blinding his eyes.
After Lin Shaojie refused the reporter's interview, he saw a familiar face in the background - Lawrence.
The two embraced with emotion.
Lawrence never imagined that a Chinese man whom he tried his best to help, would be rewarded so generously by the other party.
For those things, I only need to help to match the bridge, and I don’t need to do the specific things by myself, and I don’t know much about those professional ones.
But the result is very gratifying. It has only been a quarter since the draft, and the busiest time is less than half a month. But what about my income?
It's more than the total income of those years when I was a scout in the Suns. How can you make Lawrence, who is entering his later years, unhappy.
At the backstage, I quickly glanced over, and took a look at each other's "voices!"
Fortunately, there are careful thoughts, but it does not affect the signing of the contract.
Lin Shaojie finally signed his name on the contract with satisfaction. From then on, for the next four years, he will be a signed player of the Jordan brand under Nike, and he has become a "Jordan disciple!"
When Lin Shaojie walked from the backstage to the press conference again, the reporters at the scene pressed the shutter again, and the flash once again illuminated Lin Shaojie's whole body.
Everyone now wants to know what kind of contract Nike will finally give.
"Lynn, can you disclose the specific details of the contract?"
"Sorry, this is still for Nike, I don't mind."
Lin Shaojie knew that although his contract couldn't be compared with James's back then, Nike was definitely bleeding.
The Nike staff who came out after Lin Shaojie, of course, didn't mind revealing that the contract they had spent so much to complete took several months.
The price tag was plus plus until the night in London, when they knew about this real gem, and at that time they wanted to get it at any cost.
It's just a pity that this is a native of China, and his sports life cannot be guaranteed. Otherwise, a contract of at least seven years, even comparable to James, would definitely be a blockbuster.
"Four years, fifty million!"
When these two numbers were presented in front of the reporter, everyone understood that Lin Shaojie, a newly promoted multi-millionaire, had mastered the wealth code.
Although the total price is not comparable to James, after all, James started in seven years, while Lin Shaojie started in four years.
Of course, after so many years, the current [-] million is definitely not comparable to the [-] million in [-].
But everyone thinks about it, and thinks that Nike is not losing money. After all, Space Yi has left the NBA, and the little giant has also retired. Their bodies are more or less affected when they are in the NBA, or they are not used to these things. , The manufacturer is not stupid, and Lin Shaojie, the only one, is of course worthy of heavy attention.
After a long period of time, their risks are also great. It is better to take advantage of an intermediate number of years, and the big deal is to spend more money to renew the contract in the future.
There is an unwritten rule about star signature shoes, that is, the inside shoes are not easy to sell.
Especially in terms of style of play and game enjoyment, big players cannot compare with outside players; and big players are heavier, so the design of sneakers needs to consider factors such as cushioning and protection, and often sacrifices the performance of sneakers. The value of the appearance, which also makes the sneakers even more difficult to sell.
Lin Shaojie does not have this problem. His style of play is very enjoyable, and his coordination allows him to fly in the air to play. More importantly, Lin Shaojie cherishes his body despite his excellent physical fitness. I can see flying to the ground, and most of the time, he is still in the state of "flying close to the ground". In fact, this is also the most entangled part of Nike.
Because they know very well that this style of play will prolong the life of the sport, but Lin Shaojie's identity as a yellow race prevents them from making heavy bets.
Instead of this, simply shorten the term, make a heavy bet, match the signature shoes, and add the priority to renew the contract, and lock Lin Shaojie in his chariot as much as possible.
It was already afternoon when I returned to the training camp from the press conference.
"Lynn, I thought you weren't coming. Didn't I already approve your vacation?"
Frank looked a little surprised when Lin Shaojie returned to the court.Shouldn't this multi-millionaire go out and have a meal and celebrate?
"I haven't tried your football training method, of course I can't pass it up."
Lin Shaojie complimented, and Frank burst out laughing.
"Come on, put on equipment for our Mr. Multimillionaire, he also needs to practice pick-and-roll."
With the help of the staff, Lin Shaojie quickly put on the fully armed football equipment, and he "swelled up" in an instant when he was a little thin, and his strength already had an advantage.
"The coach has said it all. I hope everyone will show respect tonight. Yesterday was the boss's treat. Today I am here. Brother, I have just completed a big contract and I am rich."
Lin Shaojie spoke to the rugby audience in a low voice, and a group of players became excited.
"Lynn, how big is your contract?"
"Lynn, I want two tonight!"
"Lynn, can I reserve the venue?"
When Lin Shaojie faced a group of curious babies who were mainly "black", he felt a sense of money, and Lin Shaojie made an "OK" gesture.
The teammates howled with excitement.
In the afternoon training, all the players had a feeling of "god blocking and killing the gods", and the whole training camp was full of wolves howling.
Even Larry, who is not in good health, made a special trip to watch their training games.
The training in the afternoon was not so much a pick-and-roll training. In Lin Shaojie's view, it was more about venting emotions. It seemed to be a vent for the past year's failure under the iron heel of the Heat's Big Three.
Except for Paul George, everyone in the group had a great time, and the pick-and-roll looked good.
Lin Shaojie also discovered that despite the mediocre IQ of these old blacks, the tactical maps that need to be memorized on the court, or the basic pick-and-roll, are almost essential skills for everyone.
Compared with Deng Huade's pick-and-roll training in China, their frequency of changes is faster and more types, coupled with the blocking of equipment, they even don't hesitate to run and collide, which is very brutal in practice.
Of course, there are also misfortunes, such as Ian, the backup center, who actually regarded himself as a bison and bumped into the basketball hoop during training.
Fortunately, the neck was not injured, but the head was scratched, but it was nothing serious.
After the injury, the guy was still clamoring for one more night, otherwise it would not be enough to comfort his injured heart.
Lin Shaojie has always been wondering. He heard from the big brothers in China that treats belong to treats, but didn't they pay for the money themselves?Others pay to send you into the bridal chamber, what kind of a thing is this, why is it different when you are abroad, is the treat still all inclusive?
Isn't this a dragon!
In the end, watching everyone "playing" too much, Frank ended today's training.
"How is it, how has the kid been doing these two days?"
Larry asked in a low voice off the court.
"Although I have not been in contact with him for a long time, it can be seen that he is a player who abides by the rules and is very dedicated, which meets our requirements."
Frank said not without praise.
"Of course, Larry, if the player you fancy just reaches this point, it is obviously not enough. The kid's strength is very strong, beyond his physique, and he also has a ball quotient and vision. Even if he has no strength, he is enough. Be our number one.
And he integrated very quickly, it was only the second day, and he got along very well with his teammates, and his personality was very pleasing. "
When Larry heard this, he smiled with satisfaction: "Didn't you hear that kid talking about treating guests? If you want to be the boss, you can't do it without spending money."
When the training was over, Larry sat in the wheelchair without hesitation and yelled at Lin Shaojie.
"Hi, newly promoted Mr. Multi-millionaire, can you stay and chat?"
A group of old blacks turned their heads to look at Lin Shaojie. Although Larry Bird has resigned from the position of president, he still has the status of a consultant. In many matters, his "consultant" is far more powerful than the president. .
At this time, seeing Lin Shaojie being "summoned by Tai Shanghuang," everyone is not envious.
Just ask George Hill, he is also a point guard that the Pacers made a big bet on, but Larry Bird has only talked to him a few times, let alone this situation of keeping people in person.
Do you really think that there are no classes in the beautiful country and everyone is equal?
In the NBA, Larry is an absolute big man. It is almost impossible for ordinary players to have an equal dialogue with him. Even some super giants have to bend slightly in front of Larry to show respect.
So seeing Larry's intimacy with Lin Shaojie, everyone was envious.
What about Lin Shaojie?
He can clearly feel that Larry attaches great importance to him, and has a feeling of "direct lineage". Of course, there is also an explicit expression of "a thousand pieces of money buys a horse bone".
"As long as you follow me, I will support you."
It seems that there is some loyalty in the world, but it is the only way for Larry to dominate the NBA.
Lin Shaojie felt this kind of "pro-son" treatment. Compared with Xie Zhenghe's "simpleness" at the beginning, Larry Bird's love for him undoubtedly had many other factors, but all of them came together, and Lin Shaojie had only Good, no bad.
After all, Lin Shaojie was alone in Indiana, so he was alone.
There are people on the top who are good at handling things, and they are common in ancient and modern times.
If you want to go to an Ivy League school, you need to find a celebrity to write a letter of recommendation!
Some players who wanted to practice more had to leave the training camp early because of other people's hints. When the players left, they gave Lin Shaojie a high-five signal one by one.
"Boy, are you Larry's son? Even if you are Larry's son, don't forget the evening treat."
Before George Hill left, he still couldn't help saying enviously, causing everyone to laugh.
If Lin Shaojie hadn't found out that George outside the field was really a bit of a fool, he would have even wondered if that kid was swearing.
"We don't have the custom of choosing a godfather there, but believe me, I have absolute respect for Larry, just as I respect my father."
Well, everyone laughed for the second time before closing the door.
Although Lin Shaojie didn't know what was so funny about it, the people in the beautiful country had a low sense of humor, and they would laugh from ear to ear when they heard some cold jokes.
This is especially true for uneducated old blacks, learning is like killing them.
Being able to listen, listen, read, and write is considered a man of insight. In this short contact, Lin Shaojie is sure that, let alone math Olympiad questions, few of them can pass some math questions in the training camp for the fifth and sixth graders. indivual.
Really!
Regardless of the fact that many players are from the NCAA draft and went to prestigious schools, but they are all scumbags.
In front of them, Lin Shaojie is "Student Master," "Student God!"
Only Lin Shaojie and Larry Bird's training camp remained. The former actively pushed up the wheelchair and walked aimlessly in it.
Lin Shaojie knew that Larry had a lot to say to him.
After I completed the signing ceremony, my business activities have almost come to an end, and I officially entered the rookie life of the NBA.
The short two-day life in the Pacers also made Lin Shaojie realize that the management of the NBA is by no means as easy as the outside world said. In this society where everything is measured by money, almost everything can be replaced by money.
Just like training, if you dare to be late, he dares to deduct your salary. Don't think that you can sit back and relax with millions of dollars every year after signing the contract.
Many details are written in the terms, and if you violate the rules, you will deduct money.If you want to get that money, you have to meet the most basic requirements stipulated by the team. On top of this, you should practice extra.
Therefore, some dedicated players, even if they can't perform amazingly, will still become the targets of various teams.
The coaches or staff are not always in touch with each other, and they will also have a channel for communicating with each other. Such dedicated players are extremely cost-effective.
On the other hand, if the boss in the locker room can't lead by example, and only knows to bring his younger brother Sheng Xiao every night, he will definitely not be able to become a boss, because the younger brothers can't get a big contract, and they can't even survive their lives. Who wants to hang out with you? .
They have already entered the NBA, do you think they are those gangsters waiting for handouts on the street?
Playing outside the field is fun, but there must be dedication on the field.
Lin Shaojie once heard it when he was chatting with Da Zhi. Da Zhi, who joined the league at the beginning of the year, deducted [-] US dollars in wages because he was six minutes late for a training session. You know how strict this is.
Capitalists' money is not so easy to get.
So even if Lin Shaojie has asked for leave and can go out, he still has to go back to the training ground and be with his teammates.
This is not a question of money, it is a question of attitude, and no one will blame a hardworking and dedicated rookie.
"Well, are you surprised to see me in a wheelchair?"
Larry Bird sat in front, turned his head to look at Lin Shaojie's surprised eyes and said with a smile.
"I bet Frank you'd be surprised to see me in a wheelchair."
Speaking, Larry Bird explained.
"Don't worry, I'm not unable to move, it's just that I have some physical problems and need to rest. Give me three months, and I will still stand in front of you."
After Lin Shaojie signed the contract with the Pacers, no matter how much the two sides had quarreled over the salary issue before, it was a business matter, a game between the players and the team's top management. Team "property!"
Everyone must act in accordance with the rules. The team provides the best conditions to the players, treats the players with the greatest sincerity, and the players make the greatest efforts to repay the team.
This is a vague agreement between Larry Bird and Lin Shaojie.
It now appears that the two sides have reached a tacit agreement on this matter.
Even though the current Larry Bird has temporarily withdrawn from the management due to injury, don't forget that he still has the status of a "consultant", which is no worse than the Logogo man.
As for Kevin Pritchard, this guy who was promoted from general manager to president, everyone knows that he is Larry's man.
Pretty Country also cares about human relationships. If it really doesn’t care about human relationships and follows the rules completely, where does the NBA’s locker room culture come from, and where do the unspoken rules come from?
The alliance that started out with a reckless atmosphere, the original leaves, women, (gang) culture were all topics that could not be avoided in the locker room. Now it is much more formal, but there will still be from time to time.
Is it true that people who have earned millions in these years, and most of them started from poor streets, can have so much quality?
What would you do if you were so scumbag in your studies and didn't join the society when you were young?Have you been bullied?
Just like Jordan, without the large sum of money that Nike gave him every year, how could he maintain his extravagant life?
Although Larry retired, no one in the Pacers disrespected him.
Under Larry's command, Lin Shaojie pushed Larry around the sidelines, and the staff would greet him honestly when they saw him. At that time, Larry was like a king patrolling his own territory, showing Lin Shaojie his prestige.
After walking around for almost a while, I returned to the deserted training camp.
This old guy, from player to coach to manager, has achieved the best in every position of his. He is a veritable king of kings. After this round, Lin Shaojie has a lot of experience, and he is very similar to Jiangnan University Sports Xie Zhenghe from the Ministry.
"Are you used to being here? How do you feel about the Pacers?"
"I'm young and very adaptable."
Lin Shaojie looked at the open space outside the window and said, the big countryside where you have to drive everywhere is really sparsely populated.
Fortunately, he lives not far away, so Lin Shaojie can run to the training center every day.
"I heard that you don't have a car yet, do you need the team to find you a driver temporarily?"
"No!"
Lin Shaojie shook his head: "The car manufacturer in Germany said they would give me a few scooters. They still want me to sign a contract with them. I'm still considering it."
"You are such a lucky boy!"
Larry Bird said enviously.
"We didn't have such an opportunity at the beginning, except for that guy Michael, but later more and more players can get free things. Many old guys envy players of your era."
"But free is the most expensive, isn't it?"
Lin Shaojie responded with a smile, and Larry Bird gave a thumbs up.
"It's very clear. If those guys know a little bit about financial management, they won't go bankrupt after retiring. Not only are you smart on the court, but you are still a talent with a high IQ off the court. I don't have to worry about you being cheated." .
I am going to have an operation soon, and there is not much time left for me, maybe I will have to rest for a while after the operation. "
Larry Bird, who was in a wheelchair, looked at the empty training hall and said helplessly.
"Everyone knows you're my man, not just the coaches, but the players, even the Pacers staff, but that's not enough, the entire league now understands that you're my pick.
In the past, some people always said who was Jordan's heir, but few people said who was my heir. Do you think I'm bad? "
Lin Shaojie let go of the wheelchair in his hand, and looked at this old guy who was too tall even sitting.
This player who has only played for ten seasons due to a back injury has won three consecutive MVPs. With his previous performance, it is hard to say whether Jordan's record will be broken.
Even with his current achievements, some people regard him as the number one small forward in history.
LeBron James, the chosen son, can't match him. Maybe with a few more championships, James will have the confidence to challenge him, but it is only the confidence to challenge him. Whether the public and the media will approve it is not certain.
James brought his talent to Miami in his prime, which made many fans and players have a deep opinion of him, which was impossible in the 90s.
As for the Celtics Big Three, the two are fundamentally different. One is for the championship at the end of his career to keep warm, and the other is for the so-called brother basketball at the peak.
"Michael found his successor, Kobe did a great job, and now the media even said to me, LeBron can follow in my footsteps, God, I've never seen such a player, if let him follow in my footsteps , The current No. [-] small forward doesn't matter!"
Larry Bird seemed to be angry, and he was still gesticulating James' crab step and "eight steps to drive the toad" magical skills.
"The Pacers have nothing else, but we have a lot of confidence. We don't need to play badly to win a certain player. We like to train our own players and our players. We are also willing to give enough time to the players. You don't have to worry about you in the new season. position, not to worry about your time, I hope you can slowly adapt to this league, I will support you, as long as you can do what I said."
Larry Bird signaled Lin Shaojie to push it a little longer. He is really an old man who can't sit still. Lin Shaojie also saw with his own eyes how the Pacers' Ti Shanghuang was unrestrained and dared to say anything.
"I heard from Frank that you played very well with a group of substitutes, and almost overturned the main force, right?"
Lin Shaojie nodded.
"Look, I have already said that you will be of great use to us when you come. Believe me, when you have strength, just like you signed with Nike, make money as soon as possible. Superstars must have matching If the superstar is as poor as Scott (Pippen), no one will respect him.
While people respect your strength, they will also respect your money. This is a very beautiful thing. "
(⊙⊙)
"???"
Lin Shaojie wanted to ask why, but before Lin Shaojie could say anything, Larry said it himself.
"Do you think that with Michael's worth, can Scott still be friends with him? He was one of the best second-in-command back then, but it's a pity that he was short-sighted, refused to listen to advice, and was afraid of the impact of injuries.
Michael is lucky and strong, catching up with the good times. In the current league, it is difficult to produce another player like this. Kobe is not bad, but the possibility of catching up is not high. James is also good and has a chance, but It's a pity that he went to the Heat, a not-so-good choice. "
"James has already won the championship!"
Lin Shaojie then added.
"So what, let's see how many people have agreed, that is, the group of people who like him. None of us, the older generation, can look up to him. Although Michael is supported by Nike, his strength lies there. , in the current environment, start with at least [-] points, and no one else will be able to win the scoring champion."
Larry Bird praised Jordan.
"As for the little guy LeBron, if he was in the 90s, believe me, he wouldn't even win a championship, those guys in the Jazz would make him miserable, let alone the bad boy army, that is even Michael. dare to bully."
As he spoke, Larry patted Lin Shaojie.
"Rich people's friends are also rich people. You have to see through this league. Like your former national team teammates, they are too stupid. They don't know how to use resources reasonably. Sometimes it's not that you can win the championship when you are strong enough. Win the championship. Very particular about luck.
Isn't your Confucius Institute always talking about 'balance'?That guy David is the best at playing balance. Under his rules, if you can take advantage, he doesn't mind who wins the championship at all, as long as the final profit is the NBA.
That guy wants to promote the NBA to the world and replace the international men's basketball team. Of course, in everyone's eyes, the NBA is indeed the best game. David has done a good job in this. "
The training camp is so big, and after a while, he walked around again. Lin Shaojie also knew that what Larry Bird said should actually be "the mean," but he only knew a little about Huaguo's culture, and he was a scumbag!
Under Lin Shaojie's "contempt", Larry Bird became more and more talkative.
"Many people know that I admire Kobe, but why do I admire him? Besides his competitive spirit is the same as mine, his devotion and passion to the game is also something I am very optimistic about. You know what I want to say, don't you?"
"I probably understand!"
Lin Shaojie said, Larry in front of him was so close to him, how could he "not see clearly"!
"We all know that Kobe's talent is not as good as Michael's, but he can make himself complete an evolution every offseason, develop new offensive weapons, and be able to display them beautifully."
Is it picturesque?
No wonder Larry didn't like James very much, it turned out to be here.
Of course, Lin Shaojie also knows that there are some things that can't be seen through. In terms of historical status, if James gets up, it will definitely affect Larry's position as the number one small forward. This is also a conflict of interests.
A guy like Larry who is as proud and arrogant from the bottom of his bones to his mouth, of course he doesn't want to lose to a junior.
"Of course, another reason why I am optimistic about Kobe is because he is a tough guy who is willing to do dirty work, just like Michael, who will do whatever it takes to win. Kobe is better than anyone else in his generation. After that, I haven't seen, no, one of them did a good job, the Spurs rookie, but unfortunately, I lost him."
Lin Shaojie listened to Larry rambling, obviously he was still sad about sending Leonard away.
"Look, we traded that rookie away for George Hill, and the guy didn't live up to my expectations. His offense was good, but his defense was terrible. I think if you can get rid of that A star aura, willing to do the dirty work, there is no one on the team more suitable than you."
Larry was very appreciative of Lin Shaojie's performance in the past two days.
"You know? When Frank told me that you made it difficult for George to defend the ball, I knew that the Pacers had made up for the last shortcoming.
Look at our current team, don't care so much, Roy (Hibert) is definitely an underrated center, he is a player who can defend against James;
Danny (Granger) and Paul (George) can guarantee our firepower up front;
David (West) played a bigger role in the playoffs than expected.
With you, we definitely have the strength to win the championship.
I have been looking forward to the next championship for too long. This year's health is not good, and I may need a championship to give me a little motivation to recover. "
Larry, who talked too much in one breath, took a breath and continued:
"If you can win the championship, it will greatly increase your personal commercial value, which is incomparably great.
Think about it, a rookie who just entered the league is like the magician back then. If you can’t reach the magician, even if you play an amazing rookie game like Tim (Duncan), you will be the next superstar. I can't imagine such a beautiful scene. "
Larry Bird in the wheelchair said happily.
Lin Shaojie listened with black lines on his face. Although his pride came from the bottom of his heart, after all, he was a cheating life, but there is really no need for the boss to provoke himself like this. How many years do you meet a magician? Duncan is also inhuman, and he is still very Young, don't be like this, okay?
Can you still have a good chat and listen to your beep!
"A team will definitely have different voices, and it is impossible for everyone to listen to you, even the boss of the team can't do it, but as long as you make most people listen to you, different voices are allowed. , but when you talk, they all shut up, and that's fine."
"Unite what can be united."
Lin Shaojie concluded.
The old man sees that stimulating himself is not enough, does he want to help himself to the top?
"You Chinese people are really too smart, that's what it means."
Larry Bird said happily.
"If you want to be the boss, you have to be ruthless. For those different voices who try to challenge your status, I will help you deal with it."
"I'm a newcomer, is this okay? What's more, I'm still a Chinese, and there's Danny (Granger) in the team."
Lin Shaojie was a little puzzled, dammit, Larry really wants to do this?
"Danny? He is indeed a problem. It is impossible for you to challenge his position now, but you must have the heart to be the boss, understand?"
Larry Bird turned his head and said.
"I heard what Frank said, and I didn't feel that you are a rookie. On the training ground yesterday, you trained those substitutes well.
Young people, don't hide your ambitions, it's okay to be humble, but the NBA doesn't take that.
Look at Allen, a guy who dared to challenge Michael when he first entered the league, and Kobe, that kid drove Shaquille away.
Well, when it comes to Kobe, I can't say enough. That kid has been trying to get rid of Michael's shadow, but he can't get rid of it. He is the most like that guy.
Of course, if that guy Kobe was on my team, I would absolutely ban him from shooting. "
"So he's never going to your team."
After Lin Shaojie finished speaking, he and Larry laughed.
"Would you?"
"I'm a point guard, how can I make a lot of shots?"
Lin Shaojie replied solemnly: "I have too many choices. There are so many talented players in the team. I can pass the ball to them to solve the battle."
"But at critical moments, you only believe in yourself, right?"
Larry Bird stared at Lin Shaojie intently, waiting for his answer, and at the same time asked: "What if someone doesn't want to give you the ball?"
Lin Shaojie looked at the old man on the opposite side and smiled: "A season is long, I will do it, let them hand over the damn ball to me."
Larry didn't speak, and Lin Shaojie didn't say anything. A simple sentence made the training camp so quiet. After a while, Larry changed the topic. The two people's discussion on this topic came to an end, and then curiously asked.
"By the way, why is your agreement with Nike for four years? That's [-] million. Can't they pay more and sign for a few more years?"
"I also want to sign for a few more years, which is indeed a lot of money."
Lin Shaojie said with a smile: "But they are too timid to sign a long-term contract. I guess they are worried about my sports life."
"Short-sighted, according to my thinking, I should at least sign you for seven years."
After sending Larry Bird away and practicing in an empty training camp for a while, Lin Shaojie rushed to the bar to pay the bill.
Those guys don't treat themselves as human beings during the day, they train hard, and they don't treat themselves as human beings at night. There are so many girls, dark and white, can they take care of them?
After paying the money, Lin Shaojie sneaked back to the big house that the Pacers rented for him. On the TV, the news of signing with Nike during the day was being broadcast.
After completing the signing during the day, Nike took the initiative to announce to the public, and said that they would launch Lin Shaojie's signature shoes as soon as possible.All of this was accompanied by the provocative words of "[-] million in four years", which instantly spread across both sides of the ocean.
Judging from the data, this amount is no worse than James’s. Not long after James took the throne, Nike launched such a newcomer. What is the intention of this? Is it really only for the Huaguo market?
In the evening, many media began to interview Jordan, asking him about "Mr. $[-] Million". After all, Lin Shaojie is now considered a "Jordan disciple."
"I don't know about the signing, but as I said, I am optimistic about that kid. After Kobe came back from Huaguo, he was full of praise for that kid. Don't worry, I will go to the scene to see if I have a chance. Don't think about it from me." Take anything away until I see that guy play."
This time, Jordan didn't drink, but was serious. He was in the training camp, practicing the rookies he selected.
Compared with Lin Shaojie's impressive reputation, Gilchrist, who was selected by the Bobcats, has really ugly shots. Jordan saw the one that wanted to hit someone, but he didn't know. He only chose it after drinking too much alcohol. Such a player.
Comparing Lin Shaojie's 54 points again, Jordan feels that his draft pick this time may be criticized again.
And when the news of Nike's signing Lin Shaojie with a lot of money spread to the NBA, everyone was just envious at first, but then they knew that Nike would also launch a signature shoe for him.
Lin Shaojie, a player who just joined the league, achieved what this American basketball star dreams of doing in an instant.
In the sports programs of TNT and ESPN, many NBA players expressed disapproval of this, thinking that Nike was blind and would choose a Chinese man and develop a signature shoe for him.
Barkley's big mouth is not fooled again, he is very good at watching the fire from the other side, under his stimulation, this year's rookies almost all regard Lin Shaojie as their enemy.
This year's rookie, Thomas Robinson, originally thought that someone else took his pick, but at this time he stood up and shouted, and he wants to give Lin Shaojie, "Mr. $[-] million", a little bit of color after the start of the game. .
After all, Lin Shaojie got a rookie contract in the Pacers, which is fine, but why did the Pacers give him a player option, and now the preseason has not started yet, and Jordan, a subsidiary of Nike, sent him a big deal. contract.
Want instant financial freedom?
How can other rookies not be jealous.
In September, the men's basketball team will also compete in the Asian Cup. The participating players are mainly members of the National Olympic Games who trained at the beginning of the year.
Lin Shaojie, the leader of the national team, did not participate, and the final result was justified. The Olympic teenager won five wins and two losses, and took fifth place.
This result can't be said to be bad. After all, they only lost two games, and the average age is ten years younger than the opponent. It is indeed mainly to train young people.
However, the absence of Lin Shaojie made the entire competition look a bit bleak. As the most anticipated and most wanted player in this competition.
Lin Shaojie finally decided to give up and go to the beautiful country for training, which still disappointed the competition organizing committee.
But they also understood that if Lin Shaojie led the Huaguo National Olympic team, the others would have nothing to play with. As for the superb level shown by this young man, it would be unrivaled in Asia.
Originally, the eldest nephew Ellen wanted to prove himself in this competition, and the head coach Lao Fan also gave him plenty of time.
But it's a pity, not to mention losing two games, one of them was still lost to Nihong, which just makes people feel inexplicable.
Ellen performed well in the first quarter, and in the next two quarters, he completely performed abnormally. Not long after the start of the fourth quarter, the head coach Lao Fan surrendered and replaced all the main players.
Although Neon won, after the game, from the coaches to the fans, this group of Neon people said that they just stole a victory while the giant was taking a nap. Great Demon King Lin, then they will lose terribly.
As the so-called shadow of a famous tree, when Lin Shaojie faced the beautiful country, the 54 points scored by Lin Shaojie can be vividly remembered by Neon. How many times the replays shocked them. How amazing is this defender who is less than two meters tall? Excellent, if such a player can be in the Neon, they will go crazy for it.
After all, he was a man who almost defeated their beautiful father!
As Lin Shaojie left the beautiful country to compete in another arena, the fans hadn't heard Lin Shaojie's voice for some days, and everyone missed him very much.
Wait until Nike's news is announced to the public, good guy, Lin Shaojie quietly released a David satellite!
For a contract of [-] million US dollars, regardless of whether it is four years or five years, the income of more than [-] million US dollars a year will never be spent!
Lin Congrong, who is at home, feels that his relatives see him differently. When he signed with the Pacers earlier, the news also reported and analyzed how much Lin Shaojie can get each year.
Although it is a lot of money for ordinary people, it is still reasonable. After all, it is not surprising that the only defender in the country gets such a salary.
But now Nike is like sending money, more than [-] million a year, even after tax is several million, the unit is still US dollars, just take a photo, shoot an advertisement, how much money?
Yang Ma, who is far away in the imperial capital, still remembers that when she was discussing with Lin Shaojie's team about sending a resident reporter team to the Pacers, Lin Shaojie refused.
What they mean is to focus on the game itself. Just send a reporter to take a photo before the preseason starts. There is no need to make a big fanfare.
Mama Yang thinks so too, don't make it so fast that it will perform abnormally, it's better to wait and see what happens!
But how long has it been since that kid made such a big news about the Pacers, is he afraid that we will break it out in advance and affect his money?
No, send someone quickly.
Yang's mother was in touch and sent someone to set off. The boy exuded the smell that media people love all over his body, as attractive as "honey".
After all, the NBA game is about to start, and papa won't be able to eat hot food any later.
Troubled, hope for a miracle
(End of this chapter)
The accommodation arranged by Pacers is very close to the stadium. Of course, it is not correct to say that. After all, this is only a city with a population of several hundred thousand. The distance from the airport to the city center is only [-] minutes. How big can such a city be?
Last night at the bar, Lin Shaojie was forced to drink at least a gallon of milk amidst the laughter of a group of people.
As a punishment for revenge, most of the team's main players and substitutes were forced down by Lin Shaojie.
Afterwards some people went home, and some also went home.Going home and going home are different, just like some people are single and some people are twins.
Lin Shaojie, a popular fried chicken, of course someone wants to join him, not the one he is in charge of.
But is Lin Shaojie that kind of person?
As a younger brother, he sent the players of the team to the car one by one, and paid the fare in advance thoughtfully. The whole city, how expensive is it to spend a foot of gas?
No matter whether he is the main player or the substitute, whether he is really drunk or fake drunk, Lin Shaojie, a rookie, can't fault his generosity and caring performance after the bar party.
Even Paul, the guy who had some friction with him during the day, was carried on the shoulder by Lin Shaojie and sent to the car.
That was a big guy weighing almost [-] kilograms, and he was resisted by Lin Shaojie just like that.
The overlord's sense of sight, which is so powerful that he can lift mountains and surpass the world, made everyone admire him.
On the second day, Paul (George) took the initiative to say hello to Lin Shaojie on the training ground. The whole team gave a warm welcome to this very interesting boy.
Lin Shaojie knew that his rookie joining ceremony was considered complete.
The media hadn't even found out about Lin Shaojie's whereabouts if it wasn't for the Pacers' official announcement.
I've never seen such a star, doesn't he know his commercial value?
Of course Lin Shaojie knew, but his focus was not on this.
On the second day, Lin Shaojie, who had completed the joining ceremony, was ready to familiarize himself with Frank's tactical training.
For the Pacers who lost to the Heat's Big Three last season, Frank thought of a new way. He found football clothes and let the players wear them to practice pick-and-roll tactics.
If there is any anger that has not had time to vent, everyone can vent it.
Just follow the pick-and-roll tactics.
Lin Shaojie also discovered that this pick-and-roll tactic is something that almost every coach cannot avoid, and so does Frank.
All pairs practice (play) very hard, only Paul George is a little perfunctory.
Just when Lin Shaojie was about to put on this defensive outfit, Frank stopped him.
"The people from Nike are here."
"Oh!"
Watching Lin Shaojie say goodbye to the coach, a group of players looked at each other.
At the party last night, George Hill said that the Pacers ushered in the best defensive player, and he felt the deepest during the day.
Facing those long arms and big palms, his throwing and passing efficiency is extremely low, as if he is facing death entanglement.
Lin Shaojie's defense in the half-court area has almost no weaknesses, and his eyes are very thorough. This is almost a perfect defensive player template, better than any defender George knows.
It couldn't be better to have such a defensive leader in the team.
Compared with defense, the kid's organization on the court is really good. He scored 20 assists in a team game, just like playing, and his vision is very wide.
At that time in the bar, Ian kept yelling, asking Lynn to bring him some more, and he was very happy during the day.Roy (Hibert), who was sitting next to him, turned green when he heard it.
Of course, green is just one color, there are always multiple colors in the bar, and there is no other additional meaning.
Anyway, the substitutes and main players in the team know that this player who showed a strong desire to attack on the London night is by no means a flash in the pan, and he is indeed very skilled in organization.
In such an unfamiliar environment, you can find out the weaknesses of your opponents and the characteristics of your teammates with just a short contact, and target them accordingly. At first glance, you look smart. This kind of person has a terrifyingly high golf quotient.
Today, many players wanted to chat with Lin Shaojie again, and it was close, but they were called away not long after they arrived.
George asked quickly.
"Frank, where did Lynn go, doesn't this kid need training?"
Frank spread his hands: "Maybe, the people from Nike are here, and this kid will soon be a multi-millionaire."
"Wow!"
When the players in the team heard this, they were either envious or jealous.
For this group of players, don't think about endorsements, it would be good to get a contract worth more than one million yuan, and the Pacers are not a rich team.
Counting the entire team, there are six players with a contract of less than one million dollars, and the least two players are less than half a million dollars a year. When they can achieve results and get a big contract, that is the business.
But Lin Shaojie signed a contract worth tens of millions of dollars with a flick of his finger, which is easier than playing basketball.
Even the few core players with an annual income of more than [-] million are quite envious of this.
Strikers, especially center players, may not be able to get big contracts, but their commercial value is low, and they are far less popular than defenders. Even if they want to get more than tens of millions of dollars in endorsements, it is difficult.
Lin Shaojie also did not expect that the second day after he arrived in Indiana was not training, but the final negotiation and signing with Nike.
Everyone wants to get everything done before the preseason, and Nike is no exception.
In the initial selection, Lin Shaojie gave priority to domestic brands, but excluding those brands that were not very authentic and wanted to use crooked means to force himself to sign, Lin Shaojie did not have many choices.
Li Wei's side is the closest. They know Lin Shaojie's influence in the domestic basketball world far better than overseas brands.
Maybe it's because of the distant fragrance and the near smell, or maybe it's because of "a fellow countryman sees a fellow countryman and shoots in the back". After Li Tuan won the naming rights of the CBA with a lot of money, of course he wanted to sign Lin Shaojie.
But in terms of price, they are not willing to pay too much. Before Lin Shaojie, they had already contacted some superstars in the NBA.
After Lin Shaojie entered the national team, Li Ning doubled his money, especially after Lin Shaojie scored a shocking 54 points in London Night.
However, compared with overseas brands, Li Shuo still gave too little, especially in terms of influence. The two sides are far apart, equal or even slightly worse. That's it.
More importantly, judging from the information fed back from all channels, in order to sign a superstar in the NBA, Li Tuo not only spent over [-] million US dollars in funds, but even took out company shares as bargaining chips.
Facing Lin Shaojie, who is "his own", Li Ting is only willing to pay less than one-third of the price.
Does Lin Shaojie care about money?
I don't care, but when money can measure a person's value, Li Xuan made it clear that he didn't think highly of himself.
"Whether it's NBA or European football, it's almost a default rule that local players get the highest salary and the highest endorsement. My apprentice is the number one player of the younger generation in terms of strength and influence, and he is still so Young man, are you disgusting us by taking out the money?"
This is what Xie Zhenghe said at the beginning.
"But Lin Shaojie is just a new star, and the price we give him is far higher than all the players in China, even including Kong Tianyi."
"As an inside player, can Space Yi compare with Lin Shaojie in terms of commercial value?"
Xie Zhenghe almost poked his finger in the other's face at the beginning, and finally took Lin Shaojie away in frustration.
The business team led by Lawrence looked at the business representative like a fool.
The latter thought that Lin Shaojie was putting on airs, or that he was waiting for a price. After all, that amount of money was a lot of money for domestic players and even Tai Tianyi.
But since then, Li Tuo and Lin Shaojie couldn't communicate with each other, and he had already rejected any offer from here. Only then did Li Tuo feel that something was wrong.
Of course, Lin Shaojie, who is "disheartened", can only choose between Adidas and Nike, but after analysis, the final choice is only one Nike.
Adidas has always wanted to have a hand in the NBA, but the "discrimination" problem of Adidas players and Nike's "dominance" in the NBA are all affecting the relationship between the two parties.
The point is that Nike is very knowledgeable about current affairs, and they are willing to spend a lot of money on making money.
A lot of money was paid, which is almost the same as that of Adidas. More importantly, he is willing to sign shoes for Lin Shaojie, which is very powerful.
Are signature shoes a matter of money?
That is respect and recognition. There are only a few players in the NBA who have signature shoes. Lin Shaojie, the "new star" and "rookie" in other people's mouth, actually has signature shoes. I'm afraid it's clear who was slapped in the face in the end.
So after the two parties negotiated and confirmed the details of the contract, they were about to sign it.
Of course, in terms of details, Lin Shaojie strongly requests to add one point:
The signed brand party must respect Huaguo's history and culture, and not interfere in politics, otherwise Lin Shaojie will unilaterally terminate the contract without paying liquidated damages.
Behind the simple meaning expressed by Lin Shaojie, the specific details make the scalps of legal professionals a little numb. The various wordings are very rigorous, and Nike is also helpless. The other treaties are almost the same.
Of course, the same is true for Lin Shaojie. If he has problems with violating the law such as du, the brand can also unilaterally solve them and seek compensation.
At that time, the Nike people were a little surprised. After all, in the details, even Ye Zi was written into the contract. Lin Shaojie was really cruel to himself!
There are too many people playing that in the NBA, and even many places have legalized it semi-default, which is similar to smoking (cigarettes).
"In our country, this is a very serious and serious matter, and we will not be careless about it."
Lin Shaojie spoke heavy words in a seemingly soft voice, and Nike expressed his approval.
Regardless of the atmosphere in the NBA locker room, whether other people are interested in this has nothing to do with him. For Lin Shaojie, that thing is the bottom line and cannot be touched.
Therefore, after the principled issues are confirmed, all that remains is to communicate the details between legal professionals, and finally wait for Lin Shaojie to put pen to paper and sign.
Of course, in addition to these, Nike still has some doubts about the signing time. Lin Shaojie gave a three-year or seven-year signing time. The former is short and the total price is low, but the unit price is high; the latter has a low unit price, but the total price high.
After deliberation on Nike's side, they finally made a way to learn from each other's strengths and make up for their weaknesses, using a four-year contract.
Arriving at the temporary press release center held by Nike, Lin Shaojie was greeted by a flood of flashing lights, almost blinding his eyes.
After Lin Shaojie refused the reporter's interview, he saw a familiar face in the background - Lawrence.
The two embraced with emotion.
Lawrence never imagined that a Chinese man whom he tried his best to help, would be rewarded so generously by the other party.
For those things, I only need to help to match the bridge, and I don’t need to do the specific things by myself, and I don’t know much about those professional ones.
But the result is very gratifying. It has only been a quarter since the draft, and the busiest time is less than half a month. But what about my income?
It's more than the total income of those years when I was a scout in the Suns. How can you make Lawrence, who is entering his later years, unhappy.
At the backstage, I quickly glanced over, and took a look at each other's "voices!"
Fortunately, there are careful thoughts, but it does not affect the signing of the contract.
Lin Shaojie finally signed his name on the contract with satisfaction. From then on, for the next four years, he will be a signed player of the Jordan brand under Nike, and he has become a "Jordan disciple!"
When Lin Shaojie walked from the backstage to the press conference again, the reporters at the scene pressed the shutter again, and the flash once again illuminated Lin Shaojie's whole body.
Everyone now wants to know what kind of contract Nike will finally give.
"Lynn, can you disclose the specific details of the contract?"
"Sorry, this is still for Nike, I don't mind."
Lin Shaojie knew that although his contract couldn't be compared with James's back then, Nike was definitely bleeding.
The Nike staff who came out after Lin Shaojie, of course, didn't mind revealing that the contract they had spent so much to complete took several months.
The price tag was plus plus until the night in London, when they knew about this real gem, and at that time they wanted to get it at any cost.
It's just a pity that this is a native of China, and his sports life cannot be guaranteed. Otherwise, a contract of at least seven years, even comparable to James, would definitely be a blockbuster.
"Four years, fifty million!"
When these two numbers were presented in front of the reporter, everyone understood that Lin Shaojie, a newly promoted multi-millionaire, had mastered the wealth code.
Although the total price is not comparable to James, after all, James started in seven years, while Lin Shaojie started in four years.
Of course, after so many years, the current [-] million is definitely not comparable to the [-] million in [-].
But everyone thinks about it, and thinks that Nike is not losing money. After all, Space Yi has left the NBA, and the little giant has also retired. Their bodies are more or less affected when they are in the NBA, or they are not used to these things. , The manufacturer is not stupid, and Lin Shaojie, the only one, is of course worthy of heavy attention.
After a long period of time, their risks are also great. It is better to take advantage of an intermediate number of years, and the big deal is to spend more money to renew the contract in the future.
There is an unwritten rule about star signature shoes, that is, the inside shoes are not easy to sell.
Especially in terms of style of play and game enjoyment, big players cannot compare with outside players; and big players are heavier, so the design of sneakers needs to consider factors such as cushioning and protection, and often sacrifices the performance of sneakers. The value of the appearance, which also makes the sneakers even more difficult to sell.
Lin Shaojie does not have this problem. His style of play is very enjoyable, and his coordination allows him to fly in the air to play. More importantly, Lin Shaojie cherishes his body despite his excellent physical fitness. I can see flying to the ground, and most of the time, he is still in the state of "flying close to the ground". In fact, this is also the most entangled part of Nike.
Because they know very well that this style of play will prolong the life of the sport, but Lin Shaojie's identity as a yellow race prevents them from making heavy bets.
Instead of this, simply shorten the term, make a heavy bet, match the signature shoes, and add the priority to renew the contract, and lock Lin Shaojie in his chariot as much as possible.
It was already afternoon when I returned to the training camp from the press conference.
"Lynn, I thought you weren't coming. Didn't I already approve your vacation?"
Frank looked a little surprised when Lin Shaojie returned to the court.Shouldn't this multi-millionaire go out and have a meal and celebrate?
"I haven't tried your football training method, of course I can't pass it up."
Lin Shaojie complimented, and Frank burst out laughing.
"Come on, put on equipment for our Mr. Multimillionaire, he also needs to practice pick-and-roll."
With the help of the staff, Lin Shaojie quickly put on the fully armed football equipment, and he "swelled up" in an instant when he was a little thin, and his strength already had an advantage.
"The coach has said it all. I hope everyone will show respect tonight. Yesterday was the boss's treat. Today I am here. Brother, I have just completed a big contract and I am rich."
Lin Shaojie spoke to the rugby audience in a low voice, and a group of players became excited.
"Lynn, how big is your contract?"
"Lynn, I want two tonight!"
"Lynn, can I reserve the venue?"
When Lin Shaojie faced a group of curious babies who were mainly "black", he felt a sense of money, and Lin Shaojie made an "OK" gesture.
The teammates howled with excitement.
In the afternoon training, all the players had a feeling of "god blocking and killing the gods", and the whole training camp was full of wolves howling.
Even Larry, who is not in good health, made a special trip to watch their training games.
The training in the afternoon was not so much a pick-and-roll training. In Lin Shaojie's view, it was more about venting emotions. It seemed to be a vent for the past year's failure under the iron heel of the Heat's Big Three.
Except for Paul George, everyone in the group had a great time, and the pick-and-roll looked good.
Lin Shaojie also discovered that despite the mediocre IQ of these old blacks, the tactical maps that need to be memorized on the court, or the basic pick-and-roll, are almost essential skills for everyone.
Compared with Deng Huade's pick-and-roll training in China, their frequency of changes is faster and more types, coupled with the blocking of equipment, they even don't hesitate to run and collide, which is very brutal in practice.
Of course, there are also misfortunes, such as Ian, the backup center, who actually regarded himself as a bison and bumped into the basketball hoop during training.
Fortunately, the neck was not injured, but the head was scratched, but it was nothing serious.
After the injury, the guy was still clamoring for one more night, otherwise it would not be enough to comfort his injured heart.
Lin Shaojie has always been wondering. He heard from the big brothers in China that treats belong to treats, but didn't they pay for the money themselves?Others pay to send you into the bridal chamber, what kind of a thing is this, why is it different when you are abroad, is the treat still all inclusive?
Isn't this a dragon!
In the end, watching everyone "playing" too much, Frank ended today's training.
"How is it, how has the kid been doing these two days?"
Larry asked in a low voice off the court.
"Although I have not been in contact with him for a long time, it can be seen that he is a player who abides by the rules and is very dedicated, which meets our requirements."
Frank said not without praise.
"Of course, Larry, if the player you fancy just reaches this point, it is obviously not enough. The kid's strength is very strong, beyond his physique, and he also has a ball quotient and vision. Even if he has no strength, he is enough. Be our number one.
And he integrated very quickly, it was only the second day, and he got along very well with his teammates, and his personality was very pleasing. "
When Larry heard this, he smiled with satisfaction: "Didn't you hear that kid talking about treating guests? If you want to be the boss, you can't do it without spending money."
When the training was over, Larry sat in the wheelchair without hesitation and yelled at Lin Shaojie.
"Hi, newly promoted Mr. Multi-millionaire, can you stay and chat?"
A group of old blacks turned their heads to look at Lin Shaojie. Although Larry Bird has resigned from the position of president, he still has the status of a consultant. In many matters, his "consultant" is far more powerful than the president. .
At this time, seeing Lin Shaojie being "summoned by Tai Shanghuang," everyone is not envious.
Just ask George Hill, he is also a point guard that the Pacers made a big bet on, but Larry Bird has only talked to him a few times, let alone this situation of keeping people in person.
Do you really think that there are no classes in the beautiful country and everyone is equal?
In the NBA, Larry is an absolute big man. It is almost impossible for ordinary players to have an equal dialogue with him. Even some super giants have to bend slightly in front of Larry to show respect.
So seeing Larry's intimacy with Lin Shaojie, everyone was envious.
What about Lin Shaojie?
He can clearly feel that Larry attaches great importance to him, and has a feeling of "direct lineage". Of course, there is also an explicit expression of "a thousand pieces of money buys a horse bone".
"As long as you follow me, I will support you."
It seems that there is some loyalty in the world, but it is the only way for Larry to dominate the NBA.
Lin Shaojie felt this kind of "pro-son" treatment. Compared with Xie Zhenghe's "simpleness" at the beginning, Larry Bird's love for him undoubtedly had many other factors, but all of them came together, and Lin Shaojie had only Good, no bad.
After all, Lin Shaojie was alone in Indiana, so he was alone.
There are people on the top who are good at handling things, and they are common in ancient and modern times.
If you want to go to an Ivy League school, you need to find a celebrity to write a letter of recommendation!
Some players who wanted to practice more had to leave the training camp early because of other people's hints. When the players left, they gave Lin Shaojie a high-five signal one by one.
"Boy, are you Larry's son? Even if you are Larry's son, don't forget the evening treat."
Before George Hill left, he still couldn't help saying enviously, causing everyone to laugh.
If Lin Shaojie hadn't found out that George outside the field was really a bit of a fool, he would have even wondered if that kid was swearing.
"We don't have the custom of choosing a godfather there, but believe me, I have absolute respect for Larry, just as I respect my father."
Well, everyone laughed for the second time before closing the door.
Although Lin Shaojie didn't know what was so funny about it, the people in the beautiful country had a low sense of humor, and they would laugh from ear to ear when they heard some cold jokes.
This is especially true for uneducated old blacks, learning is like killing them.
Being able to listen, listen, read, and write is considered a man of insight. In this short contact, Lin Shaojie is sure that, let alone math Olympiad questions, few of them can pass some math questions in the training camp for the fifth and sixth graders. indivual.
Really!
Regardless of the fact that many players are from the NCAA draft and went to prestigious schools, but they are all scumbags.
In front of them, Lin Shaojie is "Student Master," "Student God!"
Only Lin Shaojie and Larry Bird's training camp remained. The former actively pushed up the wheelchair and walked aimlessly in it.
Lin Shaojie knew that Larry had a lot to say to him.
After I completed the signing ceremony, my business activities have almost come to an end, and I officially entered the rookie life of the NBA.
The short two-day life in the Pacers also made Lin Shaojie realize that the management of the NBA is by no means as easy as the outside world said. In this society where everything is measured by money, almost everything can be replaced by money.
Just like training, if you dare to be late, he dares to deduct your salary. Don't think that you can sit back and relax with millions of dollars every year after signing the contract.
Many details are written in the terms, and if you violate the rules, you will deduct money.If you want to get that money, you have to meet the most basic requirements stipulated by the team. On top of this, you should practice extra.
Therefore, some dedicated players, even if they can't perform amazingly, will still become the targets of various teams.
The coaches or staff are not always in touch with each other, and they will also have a channel for communicating with each other. Such dedicated players are extremely cost-effective.
On the other hand, if the boss in the locker room can't lead by example, and only knows to bring his younger brother Sheng Xiao every night, he will definitely not be able to become a boss, because the younger brothers can't get a big contract, and they can't even survive their lives. Who wants to hang out with you? .
They have already entered the NBA, do you think they are those gangsters waiting for handouts on the street?
Playing outside the field is fun, but there must be dedication on the field.
Lin Shaojie once heard it when he was chatting with Da Zhi. Da Zhi, who joined the league at the beginning of the year, deducted [-] US dollars in wages because he was six minutes late for a training session. You know how strict this is.
Capitalists' money is not so easy to get.
So even if Lin Shaojie has asked for leave and can go out, he still has to go back to the training ground and be with his teammates.
This is not a question of money, it is a question of attitude, and no one will blame a hardworking and dedicated rookie.
"Well, are you surprised to see me in a wheelchair?"
Larry Bird sat in front, turned his head to look at Lin Shaojie's surprised eyes and said with a smile.
"I bet Frank you'd be surprised to see me in a wheelchair."
Speaking, Larry Bird explained.
"Don't worry, I'm not unable to move, it's just that I have some physical problems and need to rest. Give me three months, and I will still stand in front of you."
After Lin Shaojie signed the contract with the Pacers, no matter how much the two sides had quarreled over the salary issue before, it was a business matter, a game between the players and the team's top management. Team "property!"
Everyone must act in accordance with the rules. The team provides the best conditions to the players, treats the players with the greatest sincerity, and the players make the greatest efforts to repay the team.
This is a vague agreement between Larry Bird and Lin Shaojie.
It now appears that the two sides have reached a tacit agreement on this matter.
Even though the current Larry Bird has temporarily withdrawn from the management due to injury, don't forget that he still has the status of a "consultant", which is no worse than the Logogo man.
As for Kevin Pritchard, this guy who was promoted from general manager to president, everyone knows that he is Larry's man.
Pretty Country also cares about human relationships. If it really doesn’t care about human relationships and follows the rules completely, where does the NBA’s locker room culture come from, and where do the unspoken rules come from?
The alliance that started out with a reckless atmosphere, the original leaves, women, (gang) culture were all topics that could not be avoided in the locker room. Now it is much more formal, but there will still be from time to time.
Is it true that people who have earned millions in these years, and most of them started from poor streets, can have so much quality?
What would you do if you were so scumbag in your studies and didn't join the society when you were young?Have you been bullied?
Just like Jordan, without the large sum of money that Nike gave him every year, how could he maintain his extravagant life?
Although Larry retired, no one in the Pacers disrespected him.
Under Larry's command, Lin Shaojie pushed Larry around the sidelines, and the staff would greet him honestly when they saw him. At that time, Larry was like a king patrolling his own territory, showing Lin Shaojie his prestige.
After walking around for almost a while, I returned to the deserted training camp.
This old guy, from player to coach to manager, has achieved the best in every position of his. He is a veritable king of kings. After this round, Lin Shaojie has a lot of experience, and he is very similar to Jiangnan University Sports Xie Zhenghe from the Ministry.
"Are you used to being here? How do you feel about the Pacers?"
"I'm young and very adaptable."
Lin Shaojie looked at the open space outside the window and said, the big countryside where you have to drive everywhere is really sparsely populated.
Fortunately, he lives not far away, so Lin Shaojie can run to the training center every day.
"I heard that you don't have a car yet, do you need the team to find you a driver temporarily?"
"No!"
Lin Shaojie shook his head: "The car manufacturer in Germany said they would give me a few scooters. They still want me to sign a contract with them. I'm still considering it."
"You are such a lucky boy!"
Larry Bird said enviously.
"We didn't have such an opportunity at the beginning, except for that guy Michael, but later more and more players can get free things. Many old guys envy players of your era."
"But free is the most expensive, isn't it?"
Lin Shaojie responded with a smile, and Larry Bird gave a thumbs up.
"It's very clear. If those guys know a little bit about financial management, they won't go bankrupt after retiring. Not only are you smart on the court, but you are still a talent with a high IQ off the court. I don't have to worry about you being cheated." .
I am going to have an operation soon, and there is not much time left for me, maybe I will have to rest for a while after the operation. "
Larry Bird, who was in a wheelchair, looked at the empty training hall and said helplessly.
"Everyone knows you're my man, not just the coaches, but the players, even the Pacers staff, but that's not enough, the entire league now understands that you're my pick.
In the past, some people always said who was Jordan's heir, but few people said who was my heir. Do you think I'm bad? "
Lin Shaojie let go of the wheelchair in his hand, and looked at this old guy who was too tall even sitting.
This player who has only played for ten seasons due to a back injury has won three consecutive MVPs. With his previous performance, it is hard to say whether Jordan's record will be broken.
Even with his current achievements, some people regard him as the number one small forward in history.
LeBron James, the chosen son, can't match him. Maybe with a few more championships, James will have the confidence to challenge him, but it is only the confidence to challenge him. Whether the public and the media will approve it is not certain.
James brought his talent to Miami in his prime, which made many fans and players have a deep opinion of him, which was impossible in the 90s.
As for the Celtics Big Three, the two are fundamentally different. One is for the championship at the end of his career to keep warm, and the other is for the so-called brother basketball at the peak.
"Michael found his successor, Kobe did a great job, and now the media even said to me, LeBron can follow in my footsteps, God, I've never seen such a player, if let him follow in my footsteps , The current No. [-] small forward doesn't matter!"
Larry Bird seemed to be angry, and he was still gesticulating James' crab step and "eight steps to drive the toad" magical skills.
"The Pacers have nothing else, but we have a lot of confidence. We don't need to play badly to win a certain player. We like to train our own players and our players. We are also willing to give enough time to the players. You don't have to worry about you in the new season. position, not to worry about your time, I hope you can slowly adapt to this league, I will support you, as long as you can do what I said."
Larry Bird signaled Lin Shaojie to push it a little longer. He is really an old man who can't sit still. Lin Shaojie also saw with his own eyes how the Pacers' Ti Shanghuang was unrestrained and dared to say anything.
"I heard from Frank that you played very well with a group of substitutes, and almost overturned the main force, right?"
Lin Shaojie nodded.
"Look, I have already said that you will be of great use to us when you come. Believe me, when you have strength, just like you signed with Nike, make money as soon as possible. Superstars must have matching If the superstar is as poor as Scott (Pippen), no one will respect him.
While people respect your strength, they will also respect your money. This is a very beautiful thing. "
(⊙⊙)
"???"
Lin Shaojie wanted to ask why, but before Lin Shaojie could say anything, Larry said it himself.
"Do you think that with Michael's worth, can Scott still be friends with him? He was one of the best second-in-command back then, but it's a pity that he was short-sighted, refused to listen to advice, and was afraid of the impact of injuries.
Michael is lucky and strong, catching up with the good times. In the current league, it is difficult to produce another player like this. Kobe is not bad, but the possibility of catching up is not high. James is also good and has a chance, but It's a pity that he went to the Heat, a not-so-good choice. "
"James has already won the championship!"
Lin Shaojie then added.
"So what, let's see how many people have agreed, that is, the group of people who like him. None of us, the older generation, can look up to him. Although Michael is supported by Nike, his strength lies there. , in the current environment, start with at least [-] points, and no one else will be able to win the scoring champion."
Larry Bird praised Jordan.
"As for the little guy LeBron, if he was in the 90s, believe me, he wouldn't even win a championship, those guys in the Jazz would make him miserable, let alone the bad boy army, that is even Michael. dare to bully."
As he spoke, Larry patted Lin Shaojie.
"Rich people's friends are also rich people. You have to see through this league. Like your former national team teammates, they are too stupid. They don't know how to use resources reasonably. Sometimes it's not that you can win the championship when you are strong enough. Win the championship. Very particular about luck.
Isn't your Confucius Institute always talking about 'balance'?That guy David is the best at playing balance. Under his rules, if you can take advantage, he doesn't mind who wins the championship at all, as long as the final profit is the NBA.
That guy wants to promote the NBA to the world and replace the international men's basketball team. Of course, in everyone's eyes, the NBA is indeed the best game. David has done a good job in this. "
The training camp is so big, and after a while, he walked around again. Lin Shaojie also knew that what Larry Bird said should actually be "the mean," but he only knew a little about Huaguo's culture, and he was a scumbag!
Under Lin Shaojie's "contempt", Larry Bird became more and more talkative.
"Many people know that I admire Kobe, but why do I admire him? Besides his competitive spirit is the same as mine, his devotion and passion to the game is also something I am very optimistic about. You know what I want to say, don't you?"
"I probably understand!"
Lin Shaojie said, Larry in front of him was so close to him, how could he "not see clearly"!
"We all know that Kobe's talent is not as good as Michael's, but he can make himself complete an evolution every offseason, develop new offensive weapons, and be able to display them beautifully."
Is it picturesque?
No wonder Larry didn't like James very much, it turned out to be here.
Of course, Lin Shaojie also knows that there are some things that can't be seen through. In terms of historical status, if James gets up, it will definitely affect Larry's position as the number one small forward. This is also a conflict of interests.
A guy like Larry who is as proud and arrogant from the bottom of his bones to his mouth, of course he doesn't want to lose to a junior.
"Of course, another reason why I am optimistic about Kobe is because he is a tough guy who is willing to do dirty work, just like Michael, who will do whatever it takes to win. Kobe is better than anyone else in his generation. After that, I haven't seen, no, one of them did a good job, the Spurs rookie, but unfortunately, I lost him."
Lin Shaojie listened to Larry rambling, obviously he was still sad about sending Leonard away.
"Look, we traded that rookie away for George Hill, and the guy didn't live up to my expectations. His offense was good, but his defense was terrible. I think if you can get rid of that A star aura, willing to do the dirty work, there is no one on the team more suitable than you."
Larry was very appreciative of Lin Shaojie's performance in the past two days.
"You know? When Frank told me that you made it difficult for George to defend the ball, I knew that the Pacers had made up for the last shortcoming.
Look at our current team, don't care so much, Roy (Hibert) is definitely an underrated center, he is a player who can defend against James;
Danny (Granger) and Paul (George) can guarantee our firepower up front;
David (West) played a bigger role in the playoffs than expected.
With you, we definitely have the strength to win the championship.
I have been looking forward to the next championship for too long. This year's health is not good, and I may need a championship to give me a little motivation to recover. "
Larry, who talked too much in one breath, took a breath and continued:
"If you can win the championship, it will greatly increase your personal commercial value, which is incomparably great.
Think about it, a rookie who just entered the league is like the magician back then. If you can’t reach the magician, even if you play an amazing rookie game like Tim (Duncan), you will be the next superstar. I can't imagine such a beautiful scene. "
Larry Bird in the wheelchair said happily.
Lin Shaojie listened with black lines on his face. Although his pride came from the bottom of his heart, after all, he was a cheating life, but there is really no need for the boss to provoke himself like this. How many years do you meet a magician? Duncan is also inhuman, and he is still very Young, don't be like this, okay?
Can you still have a good chat and listen to your beep!
"A team will definitely have different voices, and it is impossible for everyone to listen to you, even the boss of the team can't do it, but as long as you make most people listen to you, different voices are allowed. , but when you talk, they all shut up, and that's fine."
"Unite what can be united."
Lin Shaojie concluded.
The old man sees that stimulating himself is not enough, does he want to help himself to the top?
"You Chinese people are really too smart, that's what it means."
Larry Bird said happily.
"If you want to be the boss, you have to be ruthless. For those different voices who try to challenge your status, I will help you deal with it."
"I'm a newcomer, is this okay? What's more, I'm still a Chinese, and there's Danny (Granger) in the team."
Lin Shaojie was a little puzzled, dammit, Larry really wants to do this?
"Danny? He is indeed a problem. It is impossible for you to challenge his position now, but you must have the heart to be the boss, understand?"
Larry Bird turned his head and said.
"I heard what Frank said, and I didn't feel that you are a rookie. On the training ground yesterday, you trained those substitutes well.
Young people, don't hide your ambitions, it's okay to be humble, but the NBA doesn't take that.
Look at Allen, a guy who dared to challenge Michael when he first entered the league, and Kobe, that kid drove Shaquille away.
Well, when it comes to Kobe, I can't say enough. That kid has been trying to get rid of Michael's shadow, but he can't get rid of it. He is the most like that guy.
Of course, if that guy Kobe was on my team, I would absolutely ban him from shooting. "
"So he's never going to your team."
After Lin Shaojie finished speaking, he and Larry laughed.
"Would you?"
"I'm a point guard, how can I make a lot of shots?"
Lin Shaojie replied solemnly: "I have too many choices. There are so many talented players in the team. I can pass the ball to them to solve the battle."
"But at critical moments, you only believe in yourself, right?"
Larry Bird stared at Lin Shaojie intently, waiting for his answer, and at the same time asked: "What if someone doesn't want to give you the ball?"
Lin Shaojie looked at the old man on the opposite side and smiled: "A season is long, I will do it, let them hand over the damn ball to me."
Larry didn't speak, and Lin Shaojie didn't say anything. A simple sentence made the training camp so quiet. After a while, Larry changed the topic. The two people's discussion on this topic came to an end, and then curiously asked.
"By the way, why is your agreement with Nike for four years? That's [-] million. Can't they pay more and sign for a few more years?"
"I also want to sign for a few more years, which is indeed a lot of money."
Lin Shaojie said with a smile: "But they are too timid to sign a long-term contract. I guess they are worried about my sports life."
"Short-sighted, according to my thinking, I should at least sign you for seven years."
After sending Larry Bird away and practicing in an empty training camp for a while, Lin Shaojie rushed to the bar to pay the bill.
Those guys don't treat themselves as human beings during the day, they train hard, and they don't treat themselves as human beings at night. There are so many girls, dark and white, can they take care of them?
After paying the money, Lin Shaojie sneaked back to the big house that the Pacers rented for him. On the TV, the news of signing with Nike during the day was being broadcast.
After completing the signing during the day, Nike took the initiative to announce to the public, and said that they would launch Lin Shaojie's signature shoes as soon as possible.All of this was accompanied by the provocative words of "[-] million in four years", which instantly spread across both sides of the ocean.
Judging from the data, this amount is no worse than James’s. Not long after James took the throne, Nike launched such a newcomer. What is the intention of this? Is it really only for the Huaguo market?
In the evening, many media began to interview Jordan, asking him about "Mr. $[-] Million". After all, Lin Shaojie is now considered a "Jordan disciple."
"I don't know about the signing, but as I said, I am optimistic about that kid. After Kobe came back from Huaguo, he was full of praise for that kid. Don't worry, I will go to the scene to see if I have a chance. Don't think about it from me." Take anything away until I see that guy play."
This time, Jordan didn't drink, but was serious. He was in the training camp, practicing the rookies he selected.
Compared with Lin Shaojie's impressive reputation, Gilchrist, who was selected by the Bobcats, has really ugly shots. Jordan saw the one that wanted to hit someone, but he didn't know. He only chose it after drinking too much alcohol. Such a player.
Comparing Lin Shaojie's 54 points again, Jordan feels that his draft pick this time may be criticized again.
And when the news of Nike's signing Lin Shaojie with a lot of money spread to the NBA, everyone was just envious at first, but then they knew that Nike would also launch a signature shoe for him.
Lin Shaojie, a player who just joined the league, achieved what this American basketball star dreams of doing in an instant.
In the sports programs of TNT and ESPN, many NBA players expressed disapproval of this, thinking that Nike was blind and would choose a Chinese man and develop a signature shoe for him.
Barkley's big mouth is not fooled again, he is very good at watching the fire from the other side, under his stimulation, this year's rookies almost all regard Lin Shaojie as their enemy.
This year's rookie, Thomas Robinson, originally thought that someone else took his pick, but at this time he stood up and shouted, and he wants to give Lin Shaojie, "Mr. $[-] million", a little bit of color after the start of the game. .
After all, Lin Shaojie got a rookie contract in the Pacers, which is fine, but why did the Pacers give him a player option, and now the preseason has not started yet, and Jordan, a subsidiary of Nike, sent him a big deal. contract.
Want instant financial freedom?
How can other rookies not be jealous.
In September, the men's basketball team will also compete in the Asian Cup. The participating players are mainly members of the National Olympic Games who trained at the beginning of the year.
Lin Shaojie, the leader of the national team, did not participate, and the final result was justified. The Olympic teenager won five wins and two losses, and took fifth place.
This result can't be said to be bad. After all, they only lost two games, and the average age is ten years younger than the opponent. It is indeed mainly to train young people.
However, the absence of Lin Shaojie made the entire competition look a bit bleak. As the most anticipated and most wanted player in this competition.
Lin Shaojie finally decided to give up and go to the beautiful country for training, which still disappointed the competition organizing committee.
But they also understood that if Lin Shaojie led the Huaguo National Olympic team, the others would have nothing to play with. As for the superb level shown by this young man, it would be unrivaled in Asia.
Originally, the eldest nephew Ellen wanted to prove himself in this competition, and the head coach Lao Fan also gave him plenty of time.
But it's a pity, not to mention losing two games, one of them was still lost to Nihong, which just makes people feel inexplicable.
Ellen performed well in the first quarter, and in the next two quarters, he completely performed abnormally. Not long after the start of the fourth quarter, the head coach Lao Fan surrendered and replaced all the main players.
Although Neon won, after the game, from the coaches to the fans, this group of Neon people said that they just stole a victory while the giant was taking a nap. Great Demon King Lin, then they will lose terribly.
As the so-called shadow of a famous tree, when Lin Shaojie faced the beautiful country, the 54 points scored by Lin Shaojie can be vividly remembered by Neon. How many times the replays shocked them. How amazing is this defender who is less than two meters tall? Excellent, if such a player can be in the Neon, they will go crazy for it.
After all, he was a man who almost defeated their beautiful father!
As Lin Shaojie left the beautiful country to compete in another arena, the fans hadn't heard Lin Shaojie's voice for some days, and everyone missed him very much.
Wait until Nike's news is announced to the public, good guy, Lin Shaojie quietly released a David satellite!
For a contract of [-] million US dollars, regardless of whether it is four years or five years, the income of more than [-] million US dollars a year will never be spent!
Lin Congrong, who is at home, feels that his relatives see him differently. When he signed with the Pacers earlier, the news also reported and analyzed how much Lin Shaojie can get each year.
Although it is a lot of money for ordinary people, it is still reasonable. After all, it is not surprising that the only defender in the country gets such a salary.
But now Nike is like sending money, more than [-] million a year, even after tax is several million, the unit is still US dollars, just take a photo, shoot an advertisement, how much money?
Yang Ma, who is far away in the imperial capital, still remembers that when she was discussing with Lin Shaojie's team about sending a resident reporter team to the Pacers, Lin Shaojie refused.
What they mean is to focus on the game itself. Just send a reporter to take a photo before the preseason starts. There is no need to make a big fanfare.
Mama Yang thinks so too, don't make it so fast that it will perform abnormally, it's better to wait and see what happens!
But how long has it been since that kid made such a big news about the Pacers, is he afraid that we will break it out in advance and affect his money?
No, send someone quickly.
Yang's mother was in touch and sent someone to set off. The boy exuded the smell that media people love all over his body, as attractive as "honey".
After all, the NBA game is about to start, and papa won't be able to eat hot food any later.
Troubled, hope for a miracle
