Just as the fans of the Spurs and San Antonio were celebrating, Stephen had already come to China. Stephen won the championship and the most valuable player of the finals again, which improved his personal image again. Opportunity has launched a large-scale promotional activity.

It just so happened that Stephen also came over, which made the event in full swing. Thanks to his good relationship with CCTV, coupled with his performance against LeBron James in the finals, Stephen's domestic reputation has been further improved.

As soon as the finals were over, Stephen was no longer seen in a series of activities held by the Spurs, and then there was news that Stephen had gone to China. This news made the Spurs fans sad, but also It gave other teams an obvious attitude that Stephen did intend to leave the Spurs.

What they are most worried about is that as soon as the season is over, the Spurs will sign a new contract with Stephen, which leaves them no chance at all. Because of the restrictions of the new labor agreement, the contracts offered by everyone are similar, and they want to be competitive in this It is impossible, so no matter whether you are rich or powerful, or you are running a small business, at least this contract can be taken out.

Since the contract is not competitive, it is necessary to impress the players from other aspects. It is not yet possible to contact the players. Stephen's attitude has given them a lot of confidence, so many teams have already begun to select lobbyists.

Stephen spent a very pleasant week in China. During this week, he got emotional relaxation. From the tense game rhythm to this kind of life, although he still needs to fly around, it also allows a season to come. The psychological pressure has been released, and the tired body has also been relieved.

Although the training was not interrupted and the intensity was not reduced, the training time was extended. This time, due to sufficient time, Stephen tasted different delicacies from many places under the guidance of the Wake company. The whole process was not like a commercial activity. It's like a travel and food trip.

Wake has hinted several times that they hoped that the two parties could start contract renewal negotiations, but Stephen ignored them all. Although the cooperation between the two parties is quite pleasant, it is not easy to cherish those who are too easy to get, especially in business negotiations. Regarding the matter, Stephen is adhering to Mordance's meaning. When it comes to matters related to commercial contracts, Stephen will never express any attitude in advance. If there is any tendency, he will tell Mordance and let Mordance fight for the benefits he deserves.

Before leaving, Stephen participated in another CCTV talk show, but this time it was not on the sports channel, but on the comprehensive channel. baseless speculation.

When the host asked him if he was interested in representing a certain country, Stephen said that he had never formally received a similar invitation, so he had never thought about such a thing, but he told the hard work of a professional player. However, if a player does not rest in the summer, but fights for the country, it will be a huge test for the body.

When the host asked him whether he would stay with the Spurs next season or plan to go to another team, Stephen also said that he didn't know yet, and limited to regulations, he could not discuss this topic publicly, even if it was in China. It was embarrassing for the host.

When the host asked him about his impression of China, he didn't say anything about ancient scenery or hospitality, but talked about Chinese food. resonated with many people.

To judge whether a person is Chinese, first of all, to see whether he has a Chinese stomach. When Stephen praised Chinese food desperately, he was also recognized by many people as his identity. At the same time, many people Also recognized his value on the basketball court.

After the show ended, the domestic brokerage team received a cooperation intention from another Chinese sports giant, a company with a former sports star as its brand. They knew that Stephen had a sneaker endorsement contract with Wick Company, but they But put forward the endorsement request of sportswear.

Wearing their clothes and Wick's shoes, Stephen thought about it and felt that it was not very suitable. Although the contract agreement with Wick's company did not restrict wearing other sports brand clothing, Stephen felt that if they were mixed and matched like this A feeling that people only care about money will also bring confusion to their own fans.

Stephen also knows their intentions. If Stephen endorses their clothes, others will first pay attention to the logo on Stephen's clothes, which will weaken the endorsement value of Wake Company. The idea of ​​the company crowding out.

Although their asking price is very generous, 350 million US dollars a year is also in line with Stephen's current social status, but Stephen still rejected them. At this time, Wake Company did not know how to get the news, and hurriedly let the deputy who accompanied Stephen The general manager came over and said that they hoped to sign a clothing endorsement at a higher price, but Stephen also refused.

One is that the cooperation between the two parties is about to expire. If a new cooperation agreement is signed now, the sneaker contract negotiations will be affected. You must know that the sneaker contract is the big one, and Mordance has already received it. Nike offered an endorsement intention of US$500 million over five years, while Adidas stated that after Stephen's current contract ends, their contract will follow the market according to market conditions, but it will only be the highest among similar companies, not lower.

And now that Stephen has won the Finals Most Valuable Player again, his worth will naturally only be higher. If Stephen stirs up another storm in this year's free market, his worth will increase again. possible.

So Stephen is not in a hurry to finalize this intention at all. The commercial intention is the same as the team intention. Stephen is now a hot commodity and has a strong appreciation potential, so he is not in a hurry to make a decision.

After leaving China, Stephen left his own business team and stayed in Japan for one night. Lin Mo and Hou Peichen had already booked a room at a hot spring hotel under Mount Fuji. Since Stephen only had one night, the two of them stayed There is no separation, although there is no one bed and three beds, but it is the first time for Stephen to enjoy different beauties in different rooms at the same night, especially when taking a hot spring bath, two people accompany Stephen's two sides, one on the left and the other on the right. On the side, making Stephen feel like a god is nothing more than that.

After enjoying the beauty and hot spring bath, Stephen reluctantly left here and returned to the United States. At this time, the championship celebration in San Antonio was not over yet, and Stephen was embarrassed to go there, so he flew to Los Angeles.

When he came to Los Angeles, Stephen still lived at his aunt's house, but Shi Xianghua was busy with a case recently, leaving early and returning late every day. When Stephen was free, he came to the University of Southern California with Coupard's company.

This season, the University of Southern California broke into the Sweet Sixteen, but lost to Florida State University. Participating in the draft, he is also preparing to enter the draft with Gabe Pruitt.

As for the last time Stephen met Du Fei on campus, he performed very well this season, especially his three-pointers, with a hit rate close to 50.00%. So he gave up running for the election and decided to practice in school for another two years.

For this year's rookies, apart from these former teammates, the only thing Stephen remembers is Greg Oden of Ohio State University. A combination of IQ, Olajuwon's footwork and Garnett's skill.

After reading this introduction, Stephen felt very shocked. Among other things, if you have Duncan’s basketball IQ, combined with his [-]m big man, even if the others are a little worse, it is not a problem to get a maximum salary in the league. , Not to mention O'Neal's strength, Olajuwon's footsteps and Garnett's skills.

Stephen found a video of him in the National Finals of the Collegiate League to watch. Although he scored 25 points, [-] rebounds and [-] blocked shots in this campaign, the team still lost to the opponent Florida Gators Team, when facing an inside player named Al Horford, Greg Oden did not show a dominant momentum.

He is a little taller, has a good defense, but his offense can only be considered average. He is a super center who meets once in 20 years. He is a combination of so many Hall of Fame or future Hall of Fame players. Unprofessional, let Yao Ming also watch the game video.

Then Stephen asked Yao Ming what he thought of Auden. Yao Ming kept being humble over there. After Stephen said a few words to him, Yao Ming said that he could only watch defense, and everything else was normal. Stephen asked him, if Yao Ming didn't answer when asking him to go, whether he could blow up the other party, probably because he felt that Stephen was belittling him when he asked him like this, so he hung up the phone angrily.

Stephen lived reclusively in Los Angeles and waited for the draft to be held, because only in July, the trading market will start, can the contract renewal negotiations be carried out, and can contact other teams. It is only the end of June, and Stephen did not go At the scene, I watched the draft on TV at home.

Greg Oden was selected by the Portland Trail Blazers as this year's No. [-] pick, while the Seattle SuperSonics selected Kevin Durant from the University of Texas. World", won the player of the year, the Naismith Award and the Wooden Award.

Nick Young failed to enter the lottery, but he was selected by the Washington Wizards at No. The first place in the second round was selected by the Boston Celtics. The host made fun of him on the spot. Could it be that the Celtics also planned to select a player like Stephen in this position.

The Spurs selected a big man named Splitter. Stephen thought that the team would choose a player on the front line to replace him, but thinking about the team and Ginobili and others, It's normal.
