The rise of the NBA superstar

Chapter 113, Endorsement and Manager!

On the training ground.

"KD, I'm practicing back-up singles recently, please show me how to use your back-up."

Li Senlin humbly asked this historical-level offensive kaleidoscope teammate for advice.

"Huh? Isn't your post very good? It was already very good when playing against the Knicks."

Durant was taken aback, and looked at Li Senlin in confusion.

"I want to refer to yours, so you can demonstrate it to me."

"OK!"

It is very common for teammates to give pointers to each other, and Durant is not particularly entangled.

He immediately ran to Li Senlin to demonstrate his signature back-up operation.

"Well, this, and this."

"that's it."

"Fuck, what kind?"

After watching Durant's presentation.

Li Senlin is worried.

Li Senlin was very distressed. .

After communicating with Durant.

He tragically discovered that Durant's post-up style didn't suit him.

Durant is completely talented in the low post.

He often used his height and wingspan to overwhelm his opponent without getting rid of the defense, which made Li Senlin terrified.

Paralyzed, if I want to hit like this, I will be covered to death.

Talent.

Durant has it.

But he doesn't have Li Senlin. Can Li Senlin's height and wingspan be the same as Durant's? .

So Li Senlin found out tragically that he couldn't find a suitable person to ask for advice in the Thunder team for the post-up offensive skills he wanted to practice.

Another star Westbrook?
This guy is an iron king now.

He relies more on physical talent than Durant, and Li Senlin really has nothing to ask him for advice other than the flamboyant posture of breaking through the dunk.

MMP, the talent is awesome, and others can't learn it even if they want to.

Diligent players like Li Senlin said that it is impossible to have technical exchanges with them
As for the trainers of those teams?

just forget it.

Li Senlin's backs are better than theirs now, and their postures are very coquettish, but it's really not practical on the court, it's just empty air.

They haven't experienced the intensity of confrontation in official NBA games, and they don't know which technical action is the key point. .

Now the best offense in the team is undoubtedly Durant.

But Durant's current attack method is mainly based on the face-up attack, especially the ability to hold the ball.

He's developed a front-facing turnaround comparable to that of a guard.

Due to his height and long arms, his change of direction breakthrough is basically unsolvable, there is no blind spot in the half-court offense, and his shooting ability is first-rate.

His only weakness is his lack of weight, and attacking with his back to the basket in the low post is his only weakness. .

Therefore, Li Senlin has no choice but to practice this trick for the time being.

He had no choice but to practice strength first, and it would never be wrong to practice the strength of the position first.

The team's nutritionist also gave him a weight-gain plan.

Li Senlin's current weight is 86KG, which is too light, which also causes him to suffer a lot in physical confrontation with defensive players, so it is imperative to increase his weight.

"Li, Nike asked me, do you have an agent, they want to talk to you about endorsement."

When eating in the lunch "cafeteria" at noon.

Durant came to Li Senlin with a plate and asked.

"Huh? Nike?"

Hearing this, Westbrook's eyes lit up as well.

Westbrook was very envious when he heard the news.

He still wears Durant's Nike signature shoes.

Li Senlin has an endorsement come to his door so soon?He's a second-round pick.

In the NBA, not every player can get a sneaker endorsement contract. Players either buy their own sneakers or wear sponsored sneakers with the team.

If you can get a sneaker endorsement contract, it is not only as simple as the endorsement fee can be collected, but also represents the status in the team to a certain extent-NBA players have a tradition of "following the boss to wear shoes".

Many Cavaliers players follow James to wear Nike sneakers, and most Thunder players follow Durant to wear his signature shoes.

"Well, yes, they couldn't contact your agent, so they asked me to ask what you mean."

Durant got the second-highest rookie sneaker contract in NBA history. He signed a seven-year endorsement contract worth $7 million with Nike, including a $6000 million bonus.

As Li Senlin's teammate, it's just a matter of little effort for him to help Nike match up.

"I don't have an agent yet, so let's talk to them when I find an agent."

Li Senlin doesn't care about endorsements, of course the more money the better.

But he knows that now is not the best time.

It is impossible for Nike to set too high a price for itself now. As for the signature sneakers, there is no need to think about it. They are nothing more than fancying the Chinese market on their own.

Li Senlin has this confidence that he will get stronger and better in the future, and his performance will get better and better.

Then, naturally speaking, the endorsement fee will be higher in the future.

It's just getting started now, there's no need to tie yourself to Nike.

Wait a while.

Wait until you find an agent.

"OK, when you want to contact them, just call me."

Durant simply said that he couldn't say too much for Nike, and it's none of his business.

"Li, why don't you hurry up and agree, it's Nike, Nike, the manager, my manager will lend it to you."

The tortoise said impatiently from the side.

Li Senlin didn't want it. He was worried that Li Senlin would miss this opportunity. He didn't know that Li Senlin had a system and would only get stronger and stronger.

In his opinion, Li Senlin's talent is really mediocre, and his current performance is likely to be just convulsions.

So we must seize the opportunity to sign endorsements.

The Turtles are also signed with Nike as an endorsement contract, but there is no signature shoe yet.
"Uh, Russell, thank you, I'll find the agent myself."

Li Senlin looked at Westbrook and replied, he knew that Westbrook was helping him.

There are many agents who cheat players in the NBA.

The later Motel, Noel, and Duncan had a deep understanding.

Motiejunas originally had a pretty good record in the Rockets, but due to limited injuries, the Rockets also offered a sincere contract worth about 700-800 million per year.

However, Motel's agent rejected the contract, which led to Motel signing with the Pelicans with a basic salary of one million, and his tactical status was far inferior to that of the Rockets.

In the end, he could only be reduced to playing in the CBA, becoming a famous player in Shandong.

Noel originally had the opportunity to sign a four-year high-salary contract with the Mavericks, but due to obstruction by his agent, Noel was unable to sign the contract, which led to the Mavericks taking the initiative, and the qualification offer he received was only 4 million Dollar, his decision was laughed to death.

The one who was cheated the most should be Duncan, but this agent is not from the NBA circle, but an investment consultant.

The agent took advantage of Duncan's unfamiliarity with the market conditions and coaxed Duncan into investing 2000 million U.S. dollars successively, which can be regarded as a large part of Duncan's net worth.

The broker eventually pleaded guilty and was sentenced to about 25 years in prison.

And Garnett was also cheated of money by the agent, suffered a lot, almost lost all his money, and went to court with Duncan.

Of course, Li Senlin was most impressed by Baoqiang, a classmate in the entertainment circle, about being cheated by his agent.
These human tragedies reminded Li Senlin that he must be cautious in choosing a manager.

So now Li Senlin doesn't want to easily decide on this candidate.

As for Westbrook's agent?

Li Senlin has never heard of it, who knows what his character is, so let's not think about it for now.

"OK! Okay"

Westbrook is a little bit unwilling.

Li Senlin's casual attitude is really hated.

That's Nike, Nike.

How could he do this.

Shouldn't you be very happy?
Westbrook himself was very happy when he signed the endorsement.
