Pirates: I am Six Eyes Sukuna, the strongest one

While Auerbach was racking his brains to recruit players for the Celtics, Han Yi finally got the first big contract in his life!

David Falk officially announced that Han Yi signed a 5-year, 60 million US dollar contract with Nike!

But what was not told to the outside world was that Han Yi's contract contained harsh incentive clauses:

1. Need to be an All-Star starter

2. Win at least one MVP in the next three years

3. Shoe sales must exceed 100 million US dollars in three years

If the three requirements cannot be met at the same time, the 5-year contract will be reduced to a 3-year contract!

This contract is a completely impossible task for 99% of NBA players. Nike is completely drawing an illusory pie.

But Han Yi happens to be the remaining 1%!

All-Star starter?

I already got it in my rookie season!

MVP?

Sorry, I can't think of anyone who can be my opponent for the MVP next season!

As for the third one, it is indeed very difficult for a center player. It is indeed difficult for a center to sell shoes.

But for Han Yi, this should not be a problem, and it will not be a problem!

"You know," David Falk said to Nike:

"Han Yi is Chinese, and there is a large undeveloped Chinese basketball market behind him. It only takes one year, and you will know that this shoe contract is a gift from God. It will ensure that Nike will be popular for another 20 years after Jordan."

Han Yi used this statement once when bargaining with David Falk about the commission of the commercial contract. This time, David Falk decided to do it again in the face of Nike!

The final effect is naturally very good, and Nike was successfully won!

For Han Yi, Nike's offer increased from 50 million for 6 years to 60 million for 5 years. There is indeed sincerity, but it still did not meet Han Yi's psychological expectations.

But you can't say Nike's concerns are unreasonable. After all, in the NBA world, let alone Nike, including all sports brands, no center can get a contract worth tens of millions, and even those who can earn more than 5 million a year are rare.

This is naturally related to the audience of sneakers. Compared with the guards with gorgeous playing styles, the clumsy and slow centers are naturally not favored by fans.

In his previous life, Yao Ming was the pillar of the Chinese men's basketball team and the only Chinese player who could be called a superstar in the NBA. As a result, he didn't even have a pair of signature sneakers that belonged to him at Reebok.

It's because centers really don't sell shoes. Even with the huge Chinese market, Yao Ming can only have some PE versions of sneakers that incorporate Chinese elements.

"So, it's not reliable to just rely on the number of people when it comes to sneakers," Han Yi grinned, "Fortunately, I don't plan to be a serious center anymore!"

When Han Yi showed up at the Celtics' new season training camp, he found that coach Rick Pidino was yelling at Stephen Jackson and Otella Harrington, two guys he looked down upon last season:

"Tactics, tactics, you can't understand such a simple tactic, is there feces in your brain?"

"One step forward, you must take one more step forward when defending, you must have the necessary confrontation, and you must commit the fouls you should commit. You just go up and touch it casually, it's useless!"

These little guys were stunned by Pidino's scolding, as if they had been defined as hopeless losers by the head coach, and there was no hope for playing time this season.

But Han Yi knew that this was stable! After 200 days of training by Jordan's gold medal trainer Tim Grover, these three are no longer the same as they used to be. Even Pidino, who is so harsh on rookies, thinks they have the strength to enter the rotation.

If you are really useless, Rick Pidino will not pay any attention to you!

For example: Manu Ginobili and Brad Miller, who are now alone in another venue accompanied by the team trainer.

For Rick Pidino, who has no third eye, these two little brats are not worthy of playing in the NBA, so they are not even qualified to be scolded by him.

Of course, if Han Yi is willing to say a word for them, their treatment can be much better, but Han Yi is not in a hurry, because there are many things that cannot be rushed!

According to the time trend of the previous life, the 22-year-old Ginobili should still be a substitute in a weak team in Europe, and Brad Miller is also sitting on the bench in the Hornets.

Han Yi knows what kind of energy they have now, but getting familiar with the NBA and adapting to the NBA is a must for these low-ranked rookies.This is a link that cannot be omitted in any case, because:

More haste makes waste!

Although the NBA is experiencing a shortened season for the first time in history, Rick Pidino, who was a college coach, knows too well what this kind of loose training and shorter schedule is all about.

It's all about the temporary state of the players!

The past 82 games were a long marathon. The lead at the beginning was not a lead, and the lag at the beginning was not a big deal. It is often seen that bad teams rush at the beginning, but in the end they can't even enter the playoffs, while the championship-level teams start with all kinds of losses and adjustments, but in the end they can dominate the list.

But it doesn't work in the shortened season. Whether the state is good or not depends on the sound of the starting gun. If your state is not good at the beginning, I am afraid that by the time your team adjusts to the state, you can already play a cold song!

In this case, the older and more injured teams will suffer more!

But it just so happens that the Boston Celtics, who have the second lowest average age in the league, are not among them!

In this shortened season, the first game day of the NBA regular season is here!

Although the Chicago Bulls have officially announced their reconstruction with the retirement of Michael Jordan, only Ron Harper and Tony Kukoc are left as the main rotation players of the Bulls last season.

But the NBA will definitely not miss the Chicago Bulls for the championship rings that should be awarded.

For the Chicago Bulls, although the glory is already in the past, this night when Michael Jordan appeared again at the Bulls home court, he once again aroused the enthusiastic welcome of the Bulls fans!

The sixth championship ring, the sixth ring night for Chicago!

Everything shows that tonight belongs to the Chicago Bulls!

But unfortunately, their opponent tonight is the Celtics.
