Chapter 371 The sneaker sponsor is in a hurry!

United States, Orlando.

The Heat beat the Pistons and ushered in a three-game winning streak. The next game will be the day after tomorrow against the Pacers.

For the Pacers, the Heat have full confidence in this game. As long as there are no accidents, there will be no major problems in winning the Pacers. By then, they will win all 4 games, enough to enter the top 2 of the standings.

And the points won by the Heat in these few games are not small. The points are related to the increase in the game, and it is also related to the victory and defeat points. The points won by the Heat are not small. It is not impossible to rank first in the standings.

Anyway, there is not much difference whether it is the first or the second. In the end, the two sides will have a battle to determine the champion.

On July 7, the Grizzlies vs. the Magic Blues (the Magic, as the host, has two teams, the Magic Blues and the Magic Whites), the Grizzlies finally defeated the Magic Blues and won three consecutive victories.

So far, the Grizzlies and Heat have the same record. Both sides still have a point match. If they can win their opponents, they will join hands to enter the top two points and compete for the championship.

On July 7, the Heat ushered in the fourth game, which was also the last game of the points ranking stage.

The opponent this time is still the Pacers. Because of the experience of the previous game, the Heat played with ease. Meng Yun didn't show his personal strength too much, but just controlled the rhythm, mobilized his teammates, and led the team to play team basketball.

One side is team basketball, the other side is fighting alone, and the results speak for themselves.

In the end, the Heat won the Pacers without bloodshed and ushered in a four-game winning streak in the Orlando Summer League.

In this game, the Heat won the Pacers by 13 points. In addition to the previous three games, the Heat's points have reached 29.2 points, far exceeding other participating teams.

In other words, the Heat have firmly won the first place in the standings.

On July 7, the Grizzlies defeated the Thunder, also winning four consecutive victories.

So far, the points ranking stage of the Orlando Summer League has all ended. The Heat ranked first with a total of 29.2 points, and the Grizzlies ranked second with 28.0 points.

The Heat and the Grizzlies are also the only two teams that have won all four games. The two sides joined hands to enter the top 2 in the standings and will compete for the championship at 7 noon on July 10.

On the morning of the 9th, the hotel where the Heat stayed.

Meng Yun and Bill Duffy were sitting on the sofa in the lobby. They each ordered a cup of coffee. Meng Yun didn't drink coffee. He didn't like coffee, but tea, just like his grandfather.

Looking at Bill Duffy, Meng Yun felt a little strange. He suddenly received a call from Bill Duffy, saying that he had arrived in Orlando and needed to meet Meng Yun. So suddenly, what happened?

"Meng." Bill Duffy took a sip of coffee with a big smile on his face, "Hey, you're amazing. Four summer league games, averaging 21.8 points, 5.3 rebounds, and 7.8 assists. I know you're great." Excellent, but never thought you could put up numbers like this, it's amazing."

Meng Yun smiled and said, "Mr. Duffy, are you here to praise me?"

Bill Duffy said, "Meng, I'm your manager, so I should be by your side."

Of course Meng Yun didn't believe this. There were more than one or two players under Bill Duffy's banner, and he was never with him.

"Hehe." Bill Duffy said again: "Meng, I'm here to watch your game at noon today. I'm looking forward to seeing you win the Orlando Summer League championship. In addition, I just want to talk to you about sneaker sponsorship." things."

Meng Yun understood.

It turned out that it was for the sponsorship of sneakers. He smiled and said, "Mr. Duffy, you can call me about the sponsorship of sneakers. Of course, I welcome you if you want to watch our games. It's just our honor."

Bill Duffy shook his head with a smile, and said: "You don't know, you have performed so well in these four games. Now all the fans are talking about you. Nike, Adidas, and Under Armor can't sit still."

"Oh?" Meng Yun's eyes lit up, and he even asked Bill Duffy to go there himself. It seems that Nike, Adidas, and Under Armor are really in a hurry.

This is not surprising, mainly because Meng Yun played these four games very well.

A double-double, a game of 30+, averaging 21.8 points, 5.3 rebounds, and 7.8 assists per game. If this is placed in the regular season, it is definitely a star-level data, gorgeous and comprehensive.

But Meng Yun is still a rookie!
This kind of data is even more dazzling when placed on Meng Yun, completely overwhelming Towns, Okafor and others, and also surpassing all players in the summer league.When all the NBA stars are on vacation, the people the fans talk about naturally become Meng Yun. I don't know how many people have become Meng Yun's fans.

Nike, Adidas, and Under Armor can't sit still.

Meng Yun, who has only played 4 games, is already so dazzling, and his future prospects can be said to be limitless. They all began to regret that the price they paid was not high enough to sign Meng Yun before the draft.

There is no doubt that it will cost much more to sign Meng Yun now than then.However, Nike, Adidas and Under Armor all want to sign Meng Yun and cannot wait any longer.

Because if you wait any longer, you may have to pay a higher price.

"Did you know?" Bill Duffy said: "Nike thinks you are a 'phenomenal' player. Others need one season, two seasons, or even several seasons to gather popularity. You only spent 4 It was done in just one game. In Nike’s view, popularity is commercial value. Therefore, Nike wants to sign you now, the sooner the better. Of course, the offer they gave was much higher. They are willing to offer you a 3 Annual contract of 600 million US dollars."

"Oh." Meng Yun replied.

"Adidas' offer is $3 million for three years." Bill Duffy continued, his tone couldn't help being a little excited. Meng Yun is still just a rookie!
Before the draft, Nike's offer was $3 million for three years, but now it has become $300 million for three years, which means it has doubled.

That is, in more than half a month, it has tripled.

It must be very exciting to change someone else, but Bill Duffy found that Meng Yun was calm and not agitated.This caught Bill Duffy a little off guard. He said in his heart, "I don't believe you can continue to calm down." He said in a deep voice, ""The most sincere one is Under Armor, and their offer is 3 million US dollars for three years. "

"3 million U.S. dollars in three years?" Meng Yun raised his brows, not because of the large amount of money, but because he was surprised. The quotations from Nike and Adidas were only about 1000 million U.S. dollars. Even Adidas seems to be for insurance, and even the original 600-year quotation contract It was changed to 4 years, but Under Armor directly gave 3 million US dollars.

3 million in 1000 years, which is an average of 330 million US dollars a year.

This is not a small amount, let alone for a rookie, you must know that Wiggins, the No. 2014 pick in 5, only got a five-year, $1100 million contract from Adidas.

The contract offered by Under Armor to Meng Yun has surpassed that of Wiggins!
