i really don't want to play basketball

Chapter 68 [Trade Deadline and Endorsements]

This year's Phoenix All-Stars created a lot of heat. Xia Yin's rookie game mvp, the first-year team's victory over the second-year team after 7 years, is also a hot news.

The three-point king agreement between Xia Yin and the fans.

Robinson was crowned the dunk king again.

And the last point, the OK group reunited, let's toast the amvp trophy together, what is a "story"!

This is to increase the legend of a star. Stern is the best at doing this and always succeeds.

Among the Sun's Three Musketeers who participated in this All-Star, Shine and O'Neill both gained a lot, and only Nash made soy sauce.

But he wasn't upset. For him, the All-Star was no longer important. He only wanted to win the championship. This time, he was brought into the All-Star by Xia Yin, taking advantage of Xia Yin's success.

Although O'Neal is also very rewarding, but in the second half of the regular season, O'Neal is struggling more and more.

As the Suns get better and better, O'Neal has become a negative factor in the team. When he is on the court, everyone's efficiency will decrease, but the team can't do without him now.

After all, Stoudemire was injured and it will take about two months to come back. Now the Suns' insiders are either veterans or newcomers, so they really need O'Neal.

However, after this season is over, O'Neal may have to leave Phoenix. After all, he has a big contract and can't contribute, so it's useless to stay here.

O'Neal himself felt this.

Fortunately, Hill is back. His injury is not serious, but he has been injured for a long time. He has only been recovering for 2 months, and now he has returned to the team after the All-Star Game.

Xia Yin also breathed a sigh of relief. After Hill returned, the team had one more attacking point, and he finally no longer had to make trouble on the court.

"That is to say, there are no attribute point rewards for the Rookie Challenge mvp and three-point champion, otherwise my strength will not be able to increase further?"

"I wonder if the amvp system will have attribute rewards? After all, this is the most important award for All-Stars."

He could only think about it. Even if he could get amvp, it would be in February next year at the earliest.

At this stage, the fastest time to improve one's technical attributes is when the league awards are presented in the playoffs.

As long as the award is given, the attribute points will be credited immediately.

Xia Yin can only rejoice that now is not the time to present awards after the end of the season, otherwise he will have to wait.

This kind of awarding during the playoffs will allow Xia Yin to take his strength to a higher level when playing in the playoffs.

"Xia Yin, this is the endorsement contract that was handed over recently. Take a look at it. There are many good endorsements."

Xia Yin was exercising without raising his head, "Tell me, what kind of endorsements are there!"

Bill smiled and said, "Mercedes-Benz's endorsement, they want you to endorse Big G, and they gave 3 million for 1800 years."

"Armani's men's clothing endorsement is 3 million for three years. I think they are just testing the waters. The price can go up again."

"There are also endorsements from banks, airlines, insurance companies, etc. The quotations are all good. If you follow up, these endorsements can increase your..."

Xia Yin stopped his movements and said, "Bill, do you think I am short of money?"

Bill froze, then smiled awkwardly, "My, my, my mistake."

Xia Yin picked up a towel to wipe his sweat, then picked up the fitness package next to him and drank it in one gulp before sitting down.

"Mercedes-Benz and Armani should keep in touch. I have been driving Audi, and I thought they would come to the door. I didn't expect that Mercedes-Benz would come to the door first. Armani has been wearing them, so they finally saw me."

"This is an early investment. It can also be regarded as a hint to the brand, and it can be regarded as worthwhile." Bill smiled.

Xia Yin smiled, "Okay, but remember, Bill, I can't have too many endorsements, and they must be high-end and stylish. Mercedes-Benz and Armani are similar. These are cars and clothing."

"Maybe I can also add a watch endorsement, as well as a beverage endorsement. Coca-Cola is the best beverage endorsement. They are very powerful and can help me a lot."

Bill frowned. There were only 4 endorsements. Isn’t that a little too little? He asked tentatively.

"What about telecommunication companies and cosmetics? What about electronics and jewelry? These are also promising."

He knew that Xia Yin could not endorse banks, insurances and airlines, so he quickly thought of several major categories.

Xia Yin thought about it seriously, "Forget about cosmetics and care products, fast-moving products don't match my positioning."

"Telecom companies can consider it, and they are generous and there are no hidden dangers. It may also be able to promote the company to a certain extent."

"Electronics..." Xia Yin smiled.

"I am still a small shareholder of Apple. I have bought so many Apple stocks. If you can persuade Apple to ask me to be its spokesperson, then I will definitely agree. As for other things, don't think about it."

"On the other hand, you can consider the jewelry category. Tiffany is good, and there are several others that are good. You can choose this one yourself."

"Bill, just the endorsement is enough. There is no need to carry too much. I don't want to be busy all year round."

"The most important thing you need to pay attention to is how to make the existing endorsements, mention me as a global spokesperson, and increase my endorsement amount. This is the most important thing."

Bill nodded heavily, "Okay Xia Yin, I understand."

Xia Yin is not short of money. When the company grows, his net worth will definitely continue to rise, so he must pay more attention to the quality and style of the brands he endorses.

And in this way, the number will inevitably drop a lot, but Xia Yin doesn't care.

Just for the few endorsements we are talking about now, if the brand can promote him to the position of global spokesperson, just for these endorsement brands, Xia Yin will be able to earn more than 1 million US dollars a year in a few years.

The most expensive one must be the sneaker endorsement. After the current contract ends, Nike will at least provide him with a one-year contract of 3000 million. Xia Yin has this confidence.

The endorsement issue is easy to solve, it all depends on Xia Yin's performance, his achievements on the basketball court, and his future new album.

After all, you need to be hard to strike iron.

Bill came and went in a hurry.

Shine also put his energy into the team, and soon, the trade deadline for this season came.

The Suns didn't do much in the free market, and Shine was mainly eating melons. This is a classic event.

The cause of the incident was that it was suddenly reported in the market that the Rockets and the Nets had reached a deal for McGrady for Carter.

Immediately afterwards, McGrady suddenly announced that he would have surgery and was immediately reimbursed for the season, causing the deal to go awry.

Many fans are discussing this matter, and Xia Yin is also enjoying it. What he wants to know most now is what Dayao thinks?
Many fans who didn't like McGrady in his previous life mostly didn't like him because of this incident.

Because fans in the previous life always feel that Mosaic took a breath that year. If McGrady could play, or if Carter could be replaced, maybe Dayao would not be injured, and maybe he could pass the Lakers and enter the finals that year.

And as long as you pass the Lakers, you have a high probability of winning the championship. At least Yao has hope to win the championship + FMVP.

But now, with McGrady's season reimbursement, everything has disappeared.

But McGrady is in Mosaic and has a negative efficiency value. Mosaic rarely wins games when he is on the court.

This is embarrassing!
