Start coaching the Thunder, starting with Westbrook

Chapter 73 Domestic Activities
This interaction is just one of the activities, compared to just sitting in front of the computer for two hours, others require him to appear in person, such as an interview with Penguin Sports, an exclusive interview with CCTV Sports Channel, and an interview with a magazine called "New Youth".

Then I was invited to attend the ribbon-cutting event of the local shopping mall. This is a human relationship with the parents who are leaving, and they also have money to take, so it’s okay to go there.

Another example is the invitation of the video website, Li Sheng didn't mind and settled in at that time, anyway, the team will manage these accounts in the future, and he will come and see for himself when he is in a good mood or when he has time.

The last is the commercial endorsement, which is the highlight. For Li Sheng, the choice was a dazzling one. In fact, it didn’t mean that these conditions were too good to make him difficult to choose. On the contrary, there were only a handful of the best conditions, just a beverage brand, a food brand and a sports-related brand.

The number of years and the endorsement fee are both acceptable, and there are no other conditions. Basically, there is no need to think about it. After the lawyer and agent have checked and confirmed, they can directly confirm the signing.

And the rest are a bit difficult to choose, either because there is a problem with the number of years, or the price is not good, or there are some additional conditions that are unacceptable.

In the end, Li Sheng simply made a decision, "Then push it all away!"

"All pushed?"

Michael felt a little surprised. Although he also felt that the conditions of these contracts were not good, especially after seeing the three high-quality contracts, everyone would feel dissatisfied, but as a coach, Li Sheng was also the coach of a team in the American Sports League. Michael felt that if there was a contract, he could actually sign it as long as there were no major problems.

Because firstly, the commercial value of coaches is not high, Popovich and others who are the most famous in the NBA have not signed many commercial endorsement contracts; secondly, as a rookie coach, Li Sheng now has nothing but fame, and competitive sports depends on performance.

If his performance in the future is not good, then his value will only get worse and worse, so if you don’t sell it at a good price when the value may be the highest, it will be too late to regret when the value drops.

However, compared to Michael, lawyer Li Xiubing and domestic agent Wang Yufen know more about the domestic situation, and they don't know much about the NBA and Li Sheng's professional situation, so they can understand Li Yong's thoughts.

Of course, just to be on the safe side, they actually hope to sign all of them, so that they can get more share. As for the future, who can control so many things in the future?
After all, no one knows how long Li Sheng's traffic can last, and how it will develop in the future.

Li Sheng looked around at their expressions, and basically knew that they were not very optimistic about their future.

This is actually quite normal and understandable. If he hadn't been concerned, he wouldn't be so confident.

And he knows best that for a period of time in the future, the domestic pursuit of Chinese in the NBA, like the "big devil" can afford so many expectations, from before the draft until the end to go to other leagues, they can always attract so much attention.

It's a pity that no matter how high the expectation is, how high the praise is, the disappointment will be so strong when it falls down.

If it was Li Sheng, even if it was a coach position that did not attract so much attention, as long as the results were good enough, he would definitely be promoted to the sky.

When he leads the Thunder to win the championship, he believes that some people in China will definitely call him the No.1 of the Chinese people in the NBA. At most, he will be called "Honor No.1" because of the respect for Dayao. It is impossible to only talk about the coach. After all, he is the only coach.

"Yes, I've pushed them all, so let's just leave these three." Li Sheng didn't change his mind, and he didn't explain it to them. This kind of thing can't be explained clearly, so he can only tell them from the later facts.

Then he joked again: "Maybe one or two of them will 'get back from the wrong way' and modify the conditions."

This joke didn't make everyone laugh, but he had already made his decision, and the others naturally followed suit.

Michael shrugged and said, "Then I will listen to you, but in this case, it seems that there is nothing to do later."

Li Sheng said with a smile: "Isn't this just right? I came back to China to do these things as an incidental thing. Rest is the most important thing."

"That's true..." Michael nodded. As an American, he knows better than Li Sheng what it means to combine work and rest.

Both Li Xiubing and Wang Yufen were hired this time, and there is a law firm behind Li Xiubing, so it doesn't matter if this is a part-time job. If Li Sheng still wants to find him in the future, he will naturally continue to provide services. If it doesn't work, he can go back to his own business.

And Wang Yufen is Li Sheng's agent arranged by the media company, so there is nothing to consider, anyway, she is working for others, so the employer and the company can't make arrangements for her.

So after Li Sheng made such a decision, he immediately notified those merchants, and then signed contracts with those three companies, and then prepared to participate in the promotional activities arranged by them, such as shooting promotional photos and advertisements.

Unexpectedly, Li Sheng's words became a prophecy, and two of the merchants who were rejected really "changed their minds" and offered better conditions, so the number of signed contracts increased from three to five.

The others seemed to have no idea, or were waiting to see what happened, and Li Sheng let them go.

Anyway, after this trip, after the offseason and the start of the new season, the Thunder will perform well, and his popularity and popularity will definitely rise to a higher level. By then, it will depend on his face to turn these guys into licking dogs.

After solving these work matters, Li Sheng was finally able to take a good rest.

After rebirth, first the finals, then the championship parade, then signing with the Thunder, then the draft, the summer league, participating in TNT programs, the Holy City training camp, and all these commercial activities until returning to China... I did so many things without knowing it.

There are not many times when Li Sheng can really relax and don't have to think or do anything.

At this time, although there are still many media, marketing accounts, and netizens discussing him offline and online, the popularity is slowly declining compared to before. He is like a hot topic of current affairs, and there is always a time when it will come to an end.

Only in this way can he enjoy leisure and ease, and spend time with his family.

During my predecessor's university, although I stayed for a long time when I came back from vacation, due to my personality and always wanting to go out to do something else, I didn't spend much time with my parents.

Now that it's his turn, it's his parents who want to force him out.

"Oh, you can take Michael out for a walk around, I think he is uncomfortable in the house."

Michael laughed quickly: "I'm fine, Aunt Shen, your dishes are delicious, and I like staying here very much."

Li Sheng said speechlessly: "You misunderstood, she just doesn't want me to stay at home."

"House?" Although Michael is good at speaking and writing Chinese, he is still familiar with it, and he still can't understand the meaning of some Internet words immediately.

Li Sheng explained casually, and then decided to take Michael out to hide first, otherwise Li's mother might really feel disgusted.

The ghost knows why it's like this, don't you miss it and start to dislike it after a while?
Perhaps it is the saying of the ancients that if you are far away, you will complain, but if you are close, you will not be inferior.
