next.
Shen Lang and head coach D’Antoni are familiar with the new season’s tactics.
As the mustache who has led the Suns to play a pleasing offense in the past few seasons.
He has his own unique tactical system for run-and-bomb tactics.
And you don’t need to think about it, the Knicks in the new season will definitely run and bomb frequently.
only.
The Suns in the past 4 seasons have performed very well in the regular season.
But in the playoffs, they didn’t even touch the floor of the finals.
This allowed the outside world to label the Suns led by Mustache D’Antoni and Nash as a pseudo-strong team.
Played the best offense in the NBA for 4 consecutive seasons, but their defense was mediocre.
In the current NBA, defense is still the mainstream, and most teams firmly believe that defense will win the championship.
Over the past + years, the top defensive Spurs have won 4 championship trophies.
The Pistons in 2004 and the Celtics who just won the championship are both teams with iron defense.
The Lakers, which won three consecutive championships, also played the top three defenses in the league under the leadership of the OK combination.
In 2006, the Heat led by Wade and the Sharks also had a top-five defense in the league.
However–
The Suns led by Mustache and Nash played an extremely good offense.
In the end, he was fighting defensively in the playoffs, falling to the feet of the Spurs and Lakers time and time again.
So after the mustache D’Antoni came to the Knicks, he hesitated for a while whether to continue to stick to the running and bombing style.
Very glad.
Shen Lang’s appearance and support gave him the confidence to persevere.
“Coach, it’s me and Serge on the defensive end, and the interior is absolutely solid.”
“There are defensive giants like Tony Allen and PJ Tucker on the outside, and it must be the nightmare of those super scorers.”
“General manager Downey is also continuing to offer and negotiate with the Rockets, trying to get one of Battier or Artest to strengthen the defense of the wing.” “You know, they are all in a row for several Member of the All-Defensive Team this season.”
“soI think on the defensive end, we are definitely better than the Suns team you led! ”
“The Knicks will not become the second Suns team, let alone the fake strong team that the outside world thinks!”
Shen Lang smiled with a well-founded analysis, and even laughed and joked.
D’Antoni: □丨丨
Mustache agrees with Shen Lang’s analysis very much, but Shen Lang’s heart-rending words are caught off guard.
“Shen, you have a high basketball IQ and a natural team leader!”
Mustache D’Antoni praised with satisfaction: “I will formulate multiple sets of tactics for you, whether it is a positional battle to attack the inside line, or a quick offensive and defensive transition of the run-and-bomb tactic, and I will give you enough freedom on the field and unlimited firepower.”
His coaching level may not be the best, but he can inspire the strongest level of players.
It even tapped out the potential of the players and created a surprising sensation.
For example, Nash, who was unknown in the first 8 years of his career, became a superstar under the mustache in his thirties.
Leading the penultimate Suns team in the Western Conference, they scored the league’s best record of 62 wins and 20 losses in the second season.
And Nash also achieved two consecutive regular season MVPs, becoming the league’s assist leader for many consecutive seasons.
For example, Lin Shuhao, an undrafted pick in the NBA, lives on the sofa of his teammates with a 10-day short contract.
As the Knicks’ drinking fountain caretaker, he got a chance from Mustache.
In one fell swoop, Lin made a sensation in the league, and became the team’s starting point guard from being undrafted without the ball to play.
Mustache D’Antoni has an advantage. He can give recognized players enough freedom and opportunities to perform.
You have to be good enough, even if you score 100 points in a single game, it will be fine.
Even Mustache will try his best to get the whole team to cooperate with you to create a new record.
A player with flamboyant personality and strength like Shen Lang is a perfect match with such a coach.
Unlike the old fox Popovich of the Spurs, the players of the whole team must be disciplined at all times.
As a coach, he must be the absolute authority of the team, even the G.D.P combination must be honest and obedient.
Moreover, Popovich does not allow players to perform too crazy, and from time to time restricts players’ scoring.
If the No. 21 rookie Duncan was not in the Spurs, his career statistics would definitely be even better.
Of course.
Mustache D’Antoni, as the assistant coach of the Dream Eight team, witnessed how crazy Shen Lang was at the Olympic Games.
For being able to coach this talented inside monster in the Knicks, D’Antoni the mustache feels more fulfilled than anyone else.
After all, the current Knicks are a completely new team.
New head coach, new team core, new team lineup.
If you can win the championship with a group of brand new rookies and new players in this brand new team.
This unique opportunity will definitely be the brightest moment in his life.
With the basic determination of the team lineup, players have arrived one after another.
Shen Lang also met Tony Allen, PJ Tucker, Kyle Lowry and Tyronn Lue, and started the team’s informal training. at the same time.
Those brand owners who wanted to get Shen Lang’s endorsement also gradually bid to their respective minimums.
this day.
Shen Lang and his agent, Bill Duffy, met with these brand owners.
Adidas gave 130 million U.S. dollars in 10 years, while Nike gave 100 million U.S. dollars in 7 years.
These are the highest sums for rookie endorsement contracts in NBA history.
James was once an 18-year-old high school student in 2003, and was finally selected by the Cavaliers with the No. 1 pick.
Adidas originally offered him a super-high endorsement contract of 100 million yuan for 10 years, and James also nodded in agreement. Competing Nike can’t continue to add more, worrying about investment risks.
After all, James has not played a game in the NBA, nor has he continued to prove himself in international competitions.
However-
Adidas, which had already reached a verbal agreement, changed its mind and changed its annual salary of 10 million endorsements to 7 million + floating terms. Just because of saving this money, he finally lost the proud son of heaven who was the peak of his debut.
In the end, Nike seized the opportunity to persuade the board of directors to increase the amount to 90 million in seven years to sign with James.
Of course.
In the future, James will play a superstar performance and even become the first player in the league after Kobe.
Nike’s investment has achieved super high returns.
And James’ rookie endorsement contract also set a record for NBA rookie endorsement contracts.
so far.
There is no talented rookie who can surpass him.
Even after more than ten years, the endorsement contract of a genius nicknamed Fat Tiger is only close.
nowadays.
Because of Shen Lang’s crazy performance in the Olympic Games, his net worth and popularity skyrocketed.
Whether it is Adidas or Nike, they have given offers to refresh the record amount of James’ rookie contract.
only.
Shen Lang is not satisfied with the number of years, he hopes to reduce it to two years.
He firmly believes that he will be able to lead the Knicks to the finals and even win the championship two years later.
At that time, the influence and popularity will be even more terrifying than now.
Shen Lang’s endorsement value will also soar further.
Adidas is unwilling to reduce the number of years, but makes concessions to increase the amount.
Nike also thinks that 2 years is too short.
In the end, after negotiations, Adidas insisted that it would take 7 years.
And Nike has compromised to 3 years, but there is a condition that Nike has the priority to renew the contract when the contract expires.
In order to get Shen Lang’s promise, they changed the amount to 45 million US dollars for 3 years!
The amount of this endorsement contract is fully guaranteed, without any so-called floating clauses.
And they also promised that once Shen Lang renewed his contract with them in the future,Shen Lang’s signature sneakers will be launched. Just like superstars such as Jordan, Kobe and James, they can get dividends from Nike every year. It is very common for NBA stars to endorse sneakers, but not many have their own signatures.
In particular, there are very few signature shoes with sneaker giants such as Nike and Adidas.
Jordan not only has a Nike endorsement contract, but his signature shoes have become a sub-brand of Nike.
Even 14 years after Jordan retires in the future, his annual income will be as high as 110 million U.S. dollars a year relying on his signature sneakers. This is the influence of superstars, especially the first man in the league.
And Shen Lang has made up his mind to surpass these superstars since he received the assistance from the system.
He even surpassed the old hooligan Jordan and became the best player in NBA history.
finally.
Nike won Shen Lang’s endorsement contract with a super rookie endorsement contract with an annual salary of 15 million.
The announcement of this contract, which refreshed James’ rookie endorsement amount, caused a huge sensation and shock.
“Oh, My, God! !”
