Basketball Myth: Super Guard

Chapter 607 The Problem of the 76ers

"The 76ers have lost five games in a row, and I don't know how to do it. Maybe this season will be the same as last season, and finally become the bottom of the Eastern Conference."

"Yeah, it's heart-wrenching to watch, lose to the Eagles, lose to the Pacers, lose to the Cavaliers, no matter how you fight, you will lose?"

"If you want me to say, it's better to let Qin Duo play. He performed very well before, but he didn't play much time and didn't have many opportunities in these two games. Qin is still very talented. He lost anyway, so it's better to let Qin Duo play." Playing, training newcomers is also good."

"Too."

The start of the regular season of the new season is a five-game losing streak, and the performance of the 76ers made Philadelphia fans very upset.

And just one day later, the 76ers played an away game against the Mavericks. As a result, the German chariot scored 35 points. The 76ers lost again, and it was already a six-game losing streak.

With the current record of the 76ers, they are undisputedly ranked first in the Eastern Conference, but it is the last one!

"Hey, we suffered too much inside." After the game, Lu Wei couldn't help complaining to Qin Hao, "Hawes and Nosinho can't do it, they can't defend on the defensive end, and they can't do much on the offensive end. The game against the Mavericks In the game, and against the Pacers before, Iguodala played very well, Holiday and Brand played normally, but they still lost."

It's not to blame Lu Wei for complaining, if they can't win the Heat, the Eagles will be fine.

But the Pacers are not that strong, and the Mavericks are very strong, but Iguodala played very well and scored 26 points. Lu Wei also scored 20 points, but was blown away by the old German tank driver. Hawes and Nosinho are completely in the background.

"Is there any way?" Qin Hao spread his hands.

"Hey." Lu Wei sighed again, yes, what can I do?

This is actually not a problem that only exists now. This was the case with the 76ers last season.

The team's offense mainly relies on the outside line. With Brand at the small forward and the guard combination of Iguodala and Holiday, the inside line is weak and not very competitive.

In addition, the 76ers are not very good at defense. In short, they just can't beat them, and they can't defend them, so the last regular season record in the Eastern Conference is second to last.

Looking at the situation this season, it seems that it will not be better than last season.

Originally, the 76ers management hoped to rely on the inside combination of Hawes + Nosinho to improve the team's inside situation. Coach Collins also gave them a lot of opportunities. They came to the team and started immediately.

Can result.
In several regular season games, Hawes averaged 5.5 points and 4.5 rebounds per game, while Nosinho averaged only 4.5 points and 3.0 rebounds per game. The two insiders combined averaged 7.5 rebounds per game, not even as good as Brand The small forward averaged more rebounds per game, and Brand averaged 7.8 rebounds per game.

That's the problem with the 76ers.

After the game with the Mavericks, the 76ers returned to Philadelphia. This time they had three days of rest, and then they will face the challenge of the Knicks at home.

The situation of the Knicks is not much better than that of the 76ers. There are no big-name stars in the team. Last season's record ranked fourth in the East, and this season it has directly become the second to last.

For the 76ers, rest three days to rest and wait for work against the Knicks, which is a chance for them to break the losing streak.

After Qin Hao returned to Philadelphia, his agent Martin Ryan came to his apartment.

Martin had called Qin Hao before and told him that he needed to discuss the endorsement of the advertisement.

In the apartment, Qin Hao greeted Martin to sit down, poured him a cup of coffee, and said with a smile: "Martin, how are you doing these days, are you busy?"

"It's okay." Martin was as straightforward as ever, without nonsense, and directly entered the topic. He took out a document from his briefcase and said, "Here are some good advertisers I have sorted out. They hope to hire you as their Spokesperson, let's see how it goes."

"Yeah." Qin Hao agreed, opened and browsed.

There are three in total, one of which is a local car dealer in Philadelphia. It is not a car manufacturer, but a dealer. It is not big, but the terms are good. A three-year contract of 3 million US dollars is already considered good. up.

After all, this is just a car dealership, and Qin Hao is just a rookie.

The other is a clothing company. They are exploring the Chinese market, so they hope to hire Qin Hao as a spokesperson to help them open up the Chinese market.

The company offered a 2-year contract of 250 million US dollars. The intention is obvious. It is just to use Qin Hao to develop the Chinese market. Two years is enough. When the Chinese market is opened, whether to cooperate with Qin Hao is another matter. thing.

The last one is the key point, Adidas.

As one of the two largest sneaker manufacturers in the world, Adidas is naturally famous, and it has been fighting against Nike, and the fight is quite lively.

Being able to sign with Adidas or Nike is a dream for many NBA players, because it allows them to get a huge endorsement fee in addition to the team salary.

Just looking at the contract in his hand, Qin Hao couldn't help frowning.

This is a 4-year contract with a total amount of 800 million U.S. dollars, which seems to be a lot, with an average of 200 million U.S. dollars per year, but it depends on who you compare it with.

It is not uncommon for some big-name stars under Adidas to have a contract worth tens of millions of dollars, or even hundreds of millions of dollars.

And they are only willing to give Qin Hao 4 million for 800 years.

And, there is no exclusive sneaker plan!
Many people think that if you sign a contract with a sneaker manufacturer, you can have your own exclusive boots, but this is not the case. Many players have signed with Adidas and Nike, but they do not have their own exclusive boots. Only those big players have this. treatment.

Of course, some talented players and super potential new stars will also receive this treatment. For example, LeBron James signed a 18-year endorsement contract worth 7 million US dollars with Nike when he was 9000 years old. Didn't make it to the NBA.

In the same year, Nike signed Carmelo Anthony, but the endorsement fee was 6 million US dollars for 1800 years.

This is the difference!
When it comes to Qin Hao, the gap is obviously even bigger. Adidas is only willing to pay 4 million US dollars for 800 years, and will not launch exclusive sneakers for him.

Seeing Qin Hao frowning, Martin explained: "Adidas was only willing to give 3 million US dollars for 500 years before, but Nike also offered an offer of 3 million US dollars for 600 years. After knowing Nike's offer, Adidas changed the contract to 4 years. $800 million to show their sincerity."

Qin Hao smiled and said, "What about Nike? There's no more content?"

Martin shrugged his shoulders, and said helplessly: "Yes, there will be no news from Nike after that, and I don't know if they are waiting and watching or have given up."
