runaway point guard

Chapter 348 The First Contract in History!

The Hornets beat the Thunder and won eight consecutive victories!

Zhong Yu played a key role in this game. After the whole game, Zhong Yu scored 32 points, 5 rebounds and 7 assists alone. The statistics are still very good.

With such an excellent data guarantee, Zhong Yu's contribution to the Hornets in this game is also conceivable.

Another hero of the Hornets is David West. In this game, he made 18 of 12 shots and scored 34 points with high efficiency. In the first game after his comeback, he created very good statistics.

Of course, he played so well, including a lot of Zhong Yu's credit.

Zhong Yu took the initiative to use himself to attract defensive firepower, then passed the ball to West, and sometimes passed the ball to West after breaking through... In short, Zhong Yu did what he could do.

Among West's scores, 4 goals came from Zhong Yu's assists.

This is Zhong Yu's contribution.

He is the biggest contributor to the victory of this game.

Immediately after the game ended, the praise was flying all over the world in an instant.

The newspaper "American Sports", on the basketball page, heavily exaggerated Zhong Yu's recent performance, and at the same time issued his own evaluation of the game——

"Facing the rookies at the same time, Zhong Yu's performance was perfect and powerful. Recently, Zhong Yu's contract has been heated up. Through this game, many people will understand why Zhong Yu is so attractive. He has already He is the most commercially valuable person in the league, and his commercial value is still soaring. In terms of his real contribution to the team, Zhong Yu used the lowest annual salary to complete what the player with the highest annual salary should do."

This season, Zhong Yu's annual salary is only more than 70. The Hornets gave him some big and small rewards, so that Zhong Yu's salary this year may be close to 150 million, but this is still not worth it compared to his contribution. carry.

He made the Hornets the home team of many fans throughout Asia, and also brought huge market value to the Hornets.

…………

West hugged Zhong Yu after the game: "Thank you! You did a great job in this game!"

Zhong Yu also patted him on the back: "Let's work hard together! From today onwards, our team will become better and better."

After that, the two attended the press conference together. In today's press conference, the Hornets are still the focus of everyone's attention.

Not long after the game ended, Zhong Yu received another call from Robert Pelinka.

"Zhong Yu, first of all congratulations on your victory tonight! It's very exciting. My fans and friends say you did a great job."

"Thank you." Zhong Yu thanked politely, and then asked, "Is it still because of the contract that you called me?"

He himself has carefully weighed these days, and secretly investigated a lot.

Judging from the current situation, the two brands are more sincere to themselves, and the price they quoted is the annual salary that some players dream of.

Thinking of this, Zhong Yu had no choice but to thank the cuneiform symbol that suddenly appeared for him to reach the peak, and at the same time feel grateful for his Chinese identity - after having this identity, the addition of commercial value is really indescribable.

"You guessed it!" Pelinka said: "I came to you for this matter."

Zhong Yun hummed, and then said: "You know, this matter has dragged on for long enough, we all need to make a decision, and I have my own answer in my heart."

"So, what's your answer?" Pelinka asked.

"Adidas! I decided to sign with Adidas not only because their contract price is higher, but also because of many other reasons. I think this is the most suitable for me."

"Okay!" Pelinka laughed: "You made this choice, just like what I thought! You can do a good job at Adidas, find your own position, and create a new situation."

"That's what I think. I need to go to a place where the stars and I don't overlap too much, and I also need to take care of my own value. Adidas has done a good job, and their banner, so far, there is not much overlap with me. .”

Listening to Zhong Yu's words, Pelinka hummed from time to time.

Zhong Yu's consideration is correct. Pelinka is also the agent of Kobe and Durant. Both Kobe and Durant are stars under Nike.

Nike is now on the forward and defensive line. Although it is not congested, it is indeed not as relaxed as Adidas.

With Zhong Yu's current performance, on Adidas, it won't take long to become the biggest star under the Adidas brand.

"That's it! Durant and Kobe have chosen Nike, and Adidas will be more suitable for you." Pelinka said: "And I got a good news not long ago, that is, Adidas is still going to increase your price... ..."

"That would be even more perfect!"

"One more thing!" Pelinka said: "I have to say that your glorious moment has arrived. Not only sports brands are vying for your endorsement, but some luxury car industries have also joined the battle for you. Among them. Especially your broken car recently exposed by the media has given these car manufacturers a lot of stimulation and excitement..." Pelinka said a little teasingly.

Zhong Yu also blushed.

Some time ago, a well-known gossip magazine commented on the quirks of NBA people.

A lot of information was revealed in it, such as Terry's hobbies-he especially likes to sleep wearing the opponent's shorts the day before the game, and Butler's love to bite straws, Ron Artest's disgusting exhibitionism... …

But in the end, it was Zhong Yu's eccentricity that really made everyone feel amazing and couldn't help laughing-the above commented that Zhong Yu was a miser.

Zhong Yu was revealed to be living in a room with a yearly rent of just over 2 US dollars, often cooking by himself, and driving a broken car currently worth no more than 5000 US dollars...

All these prove that Zhong Yu is a miser and a very stingy person.

Of course, when I heard that Zhong Yu cooks by himself, this caused many female fans of Zhong Yu to become deeply obsessed.But on the whole, these few articles made Zhong Yu's reputation as "stingy" loud and clear.

Faced with this rumor, Zhong Yu was a little dumbfounded. When a reporter asked him this question, he could only say that frugality is a traditional virtue of the Chinese nation, and he gave various evidences to show that many problems in this world are Made of extravagance and waste.

After what he said, many people respect Zhong Yu in awe. Of course, these are small episodes. An important piece of information is that Zhong Yu can own a free car...

Back then, Jordan and Payton spat trash talk to each other, Payton showed off his luxury car, Jordan said that he didn't need to buy it himself, it was all given by the endorsement manufacturer.

Many people are talking about this matter even now, and Jordan's wit has made Jordan's fans admire him even more.

But there are not many NBA players who can get involved with the car brands they endorse.

"It's very good..." Zhong Yu said casually: "You can just choose it for me... Well, if there are Japanese car manufacturers, let's rule it out for the time being."

Pelinka nodded and said, "I see." At the same time, he felt a little helpless—Zhong Yu seemed to have a natural aversion to Japan, and he almost rejected all endorsement brands of Japanese manufacturers, and he was unwilling to go to Japan to meet fans.

But this may involve his living habits, and Pelinka will not say much.

"Then now, we are sure to sign with Adidas, aren't we?" Pelinka finally confirmed.

"Well, yes, I'm firm!"

"That's fine, wait for an appointment with them, and I will sign the contract with you."

…………

Three days later, the signing ceremony between Zhong Yu and Adidas was officially held in New Orleans.

There are many specific rules of the contract, including some soft and hard rules, and Zhong Yu has the obligation to publicize them.

He signed a 5-year contract until the end of 2014. The five-year salary Zhong Yu can get is 7500 million US dollars, and there is also a 1000 million US dollar bonus.

It adds up to 5 million U.S. dollars in five years. Although it is said that 8500 million U.S. dollars of it belongs to bonuses, if there is no accident, this bonus can basically be paid.

Zhong Yu will soon become a billionaire...

The ceremony of signing the contract was not too complicated. After the names were signed and the two parties shook hands, everyone laughed tacitly.Zhong Yu got a huge sum of money all at once, and Adidas has added a new member of the team, which is very useful to everyone.

Then, Adidas also told Zhong Yu some specific requirements in the near future. First of all, he hoped that he could perform as well as possible when facing Durant and Kobe.

Before the start of the game, some Adidas speculators may hype some words such as "Nike" and "Adidas" headed star showdown.

Then, if Zhong Yu beats Durant or Kobe in the game, it will be very useful for Adidas.In addition, Zhong Yu also has some acupoint walking activities, and also accepts some tasks such as putting on Adidas boots and the like.

None of these tasks are heavy.

In short, Zhong Yu can earn such a large amount of money basically without paying too much and too much time.I have to say that fame is really a good thing. In May of last year, Zhong Yu had to borrow some money from Paul, but the situation is completely different now, and some teammates even wanted to borrow money from Zhong Yu.

After the ceremony is officially over, Adidas will start preparing Zhong Yu's boots.

According to the agreement, Zhong Yu's first boots will appear around this year's playoffs. This is not only for Zhong Yu to wear his own sneakers to play in the playoffs, but also because it can gain greater exposure. Let more people buy Zhong Yu's sneakers for Zhong Yu's sake.

After all, marketing is a very rational behavior, but consumption is not.

Zhong Yu's first generation of combat boots will be named 'Assassin Generation', which echoes Zhong Yu's nickname of 'Shadow Assassin'. Zhong Yu's nickname has become more and more popular in the alliance, and it is also very suitable for use. to be his sneaker name.

The signing ceremony was not a high-profile one at first, but it was widely spread in an instant. This is already the information age, and even the slightest thing can go viral on the Internet.

The matter of Zhong Yu's signing became one of the hottest news in the NBA shortly after it was posted on the Internet.

Since the news broke that Adidas and Nike were vying for Zhong Yu, Zhong Yu's final choice became a hot soap opera without a director. Many people are guessing which Zhong Yu will choose in the end. .

But Zhong Yu has been suppressing and dragging this matter down. Recently, his popularity is getting higher and higher, and the record of the Hornets is getting better and better. At this time, his choice is finally revealed to everyone——

Adidas!

Not surprisingly, some people didn't guess correctly. Zhong Yu's signing this time attracted more people's attention.

Then, after some 'careful people' accidentally revealed the details of the contract, the whole world was almost ignited by Zhong Yu, and various voices appeared on the Internet, some were suspicious, some were jealous, and some couldn't believe it——

"What? Eighty-five million for five years... What a damned price this is. Although Zhong Yu is very popular, is it really worth Adidas giving him so much?" Many people were indeed aggrieved, and some envy.This includes many NBA stars, who are fanatically jealous of Zhong Yu's big contract.

So much money really made their eyes red.

"Eighty-five million in five years, Adidas has really spent a lot of money this time! This is the first time in history that so much money is chasing Zhong Yu!"

Indeed, when Durant's seven-year, $7 million contract was exposed, it became the second largest contract in history, and many people expressed their incomprehension of Nike.

After a season, Durant gradually showed everyone's demeanor, and Nike's foresight also made a face in front of everyone.

Durant's performance also made Nike feel good.

But now, Adidas has gone crazy, they actually used such a large amount of money to get Zhong Yu to endorse...it is really unbelievable.

Of course, after thinking about Zhong Yu's commercial value that has now surpassed Kobe, all of this seems logical. It would be unreasonable not to give him so much!
People from all over the world are indeed thinking about this matter.

Zhong Yu's such a big contract really makes people extremely jealous.

An American financial magazine specially added a supplement, and put forward its own opinion on this matter——

[Zhong Yu got the largest contract in NBA history, and with his worth matching, Adidas is actually doing a business that is sure to make a profit without losing money].

That's the view of this financial magazine.

After a closer look, what they say does make sense.

Zhong Yu's commercial value is so great, it is possible that Adidas gave him so much money, but they earned it instead.

You know, Zhong Yu's performance is getting better and better, more and more fans are conquered in the United States, and there is a huge market of 13 billion people behind him...

These things are terrifying to think about.

This deal of Adidas is really doing a good job in taking a long time to catch big fish.
