Guard With a Knife

　　 On the day Doug arrived in the United States, he went to the basketball training hall to conduct pre-draft training with Westbrook.

　　 At this time, Nike also provided him with a professional training team and brought him a full set of training equipment.

　　 "Long time no see, Snoopy!"

　　 Westbrook greeted Doug on the massage table in the arena.

　　 The staff around Westbrook are all wearing Jordan clothes. He recently reached a cooperation agreement with Jordan Brand. But Jordan's price is not very high, and it is almost the same as Duge's full guarantee contract.

　　 As far as sneaker contracts are concerned, not all lottery shows can get a cash endorsement contract, even if they can get it, it is between 200,000 and 700,000 US dollars.

　　 After all, a total of about 10 superstars in the NBA have their own signature shoes. The vast majority of players still stay at the level of commodity contracts: it means that the brand provides you with sneakers for free, or gives you some equipment purchase coupons, which are used to purchase sneakers and other products. In addition, it probably means giving you five to ten thousand dollars in ‘endorsement fees’.

　　 However, now the rookies in the NBA are all ‘mocking’ Doug, thinking that his five-year $88.88 million contract is the biggest joke in basketball.

"Last week, your single entered the top ten in the United States. It's amazing." Westbrook fiddled with his Walkman, and then said: "Did you see yesterday's news? OJ Mayo is laughing at you. , To say that your endorsement contract is a joke."

　　 When Doug was in China, he learned that the contents of his contract had been exposed. At that time, Nike apologized to him, but his attitude was indifferent, because he had no intention of concealing the content of the terms.

　　 "Is this a joke?" Doug raised his eyebrows, and he said strangely, "Isn't this a great victory at the negotiating table?"

　　 Westbrook nodded: "This is indeed a great victory for potential rookies. Because you not only got a good bottom line, but also ensured plenty of room for upside."

　　 "But those who can't get the endorsement contract don't think so. They only know that your contract value has suddenly dropped from 88.88 million US dollars to less than 5 million US dollars. As a result, they believe that you are a vain person."

　　Doug turned around and asked Nike's trainer to relax his back.

　　 "Where is Kevin? Has Kevin got the endorsement contract?" Du Ge suddenly asked.

"He only got a Nike merchandise contract. But I heard that he was in contact with Chinese manufacturers recently. Maybe he will get hundreds of thousands of dollars from a Chinese sports brand." Westbrook said: "Right, The day after tomorrow I will go to Orlando sports training camp. But my agent no longer allows me to participate in confrontation training, he is worried that I will be injured because of this. What about you? Does your agent allow you to participate in confrontation training camps?"

　　 "I don't have an agent, I only have a partner, and she will help me with some business matters."

　　Duge said with a smile: "But, I will definitely participate in adversarial competitions. You know. Under the static test, I look useless. Only in the competition can I show my strengths."

Westbrook raised his head, and he told Doug very seriously: "Then you have to be careful. Now many rookies to be drafted regard you as a target. Anthony Randolph and JaVale McGee have all released their words, if Do you dare to participate in confrontational training, they will definitely complete dunks on your head!!"

"ESPN recently made a special data statistics. Through model analysis, their data experts concluded that you were the most effective defender in the NCAA last season and the strongest ability to protect the basket, and you have never been frontally dunked... …This report makes those super bouncers who have never played against you eager to try, and their agents are also helping behind. After all, if the training camp reports that you have been dunked, then their ranks will rise quickly."

　　 Du Ge raised his eyebrows when he heard the words, thinking that he was using me as a stepping stone.

　　 "OK, I accept their challenge! If they want to deduct me, just do it."

　　Doug turned around and said to the Nike staff: "You can speak out, saying that Snoopy is willing to accept a full-court confrontation training with any inside player. All teams are welcome to intensively investigate!"

　　 Westbrook looked at Doug very unexpectedly, thinking...Are you a little bit too big? JaVale McGee and Anthony Randolph are all super springs.

　　 Then, Westbrook saw Du Ge's dunk with the ball in the training hall.

　　 He was stunned.

　　 Although Snoopy’s breakthrough footsteps are still very broken, he exclaimed when he lifted the ball into the air ~www.ltnovel.com~ and slightly reluctantly stuffed the basketball into the basket.

　　 "Gosh, can you jump with a basketball now?"

　　 Westbrook was shocked, in his previous cognition. The only job Snoopy can do while holding a basketball is standing at the free throw line and shooting in situ. The speed is still very slow.

　　 But now, he can actually make a one-handed dunk after a breakthrough. Although the bounce height has dropped a lot because of this, it seems a bit reluctant. But this... is a great victory after all.

　　 Before he could say anything, Doug grabbed the basketball under the basket, soaring into the sky... Boom!

　　 He smashed the basketball into the hoop.

　　 This time, the strength, bounce, and speed are much faster.

　　 "One-handed dunks are okay." Doug told Westbrook: "But two-handed dunks still won't work."

　　 He still can't hold the basketball with both hands and complete the jump dunk at the same time... even on the spot.

　　 His coordination does not allow him to do such difficult things.

　　 "Awesome." Westbrook said from the bottom of his heart: "Even if you don't pass the ball to you in the future, you can still grab and dunk at the basket."

　　 Du Ge smiled slightly, there are so many grooves in this sentence.

　　 Later, Westbrook said again: "When your coordination ability returns to the level where you used to jump up and down to beat Collison, will you really become a point guard?"

　　 To be honest, he is really worried, even though the outside world is now laughing at Snoopy’s ‘Actually, I am a point guard’. But Westbrook knows that if this guy really becomes a point guard, it will definitely be a devastating blow to the position of point guard. It's like LeBron James redefines the small forward.
