Chapter 110 Yang Ze's column and sneakers (transitional chapter)

The game with the Kings came to an end, and the 76ers returned to Philadelphia, with a day of rest in between, allowing them to recover their strength.

In this game, I wanted Weber to be the focus of the arena, but Yang Ze stole the limelight and knocked down three opponents, one was carried away, the other was terrified, and the other fell down.

Who made him the protagonist.

Instead of sitting at home and playing, practice your offensive skills.

Yang Ze is not satisfied with his current performance, he just wants to be the best player, obviously he still has a long way to go from the best player.

He knew that in order to improve his strength, both actual combat and training were indispensable, and the combination of the two could produce the best Yang Ze.

He doesn't need to train defensively or physically, but he still needs more offensive skills, after all, he doesn't overwhelm himself with too many skills.

Carmelo Anthony is known as an offensive kaleidoscope, and Yang Ze also wants to be a player with no dead ends on the court.

Compared with when he first came to the 76ers, Yang Ze's offensive skills have also been greatly improved.

In the past, he could only play back shots, mid-range shots, and stiff breakthroughs, but now he has made rapid progress in dribbling, stealing from Wade's stray steps, and learning Parker's throwing shots.

Now he needs to be familiar with these two.

On the way to the training hall, Ze Yang found that his posters and graffiti began to appear on the streets of Philadelphia.

In the past, Iverson had the most graffiti on these posters, and now he has a place. This is the change. Yang Ze has gained a firm foothold in Philadelphia and won the approval of Philadelphia fans.

Just like the answer in Philadelphia back then, when the 76ers won Allen Iverson with the No. 96 pick, there were still many Philadelphia fans who were puzzled. The golden generation of 183 came out in large numbers, so why choose a dwarf with only [-] heads? He has no advantage on the court.

In the first game, Iverson used crazy scoring to gain recognition. Later, he passed Jordan. At that moment, Philadelphia fans really loved it.

Ze Yang's route and Iverson have the same place, but definitely not exactly the same.

After Yang Ze finished training for a day, it was the weekend, and TNT TV station in the country also launched a new program - "NBA Insider".

NBA Insider is a program that Barkley took over after Big Mouth Barkley joined TNT. It mainly tells some interesting stories about the NBA and what the fans don't know.

The content of the program is real and funny, very attractive.

Barkley, Kenny Smith and Ernie Johnson are the hosts, and the protagonist of today's show is Yang Ze.

As soon as the show started, Charles Barkley asked the two companions: "Who is the best rookie in your impression, or in your opinion?"

Kenny Smith: "If you want to say that the strongest must be Wilt Chamberlain and Oscar Robertson, one averaged 37+27 per game in his rookie season, and the other averaged a quasi-triple double per game."

Not waiting for Ernie to speak, Charles Barkley continued to ask: "In recent years, have any rookies played at a dominant level?"

Ernie Johnson doesn’t talk much in this show, just like Haitao and Wu Xin of Happy Camp, who occasionally have to fight for a word, and the two famous speakers next to them are too powerful.

"Shaquille O'Neal, absolutely dominated his rookie season."

Kenny Smith: "Michael Jordan averaged 28.2 points per game in his rookie season and crushed the diamond generation. Of course it is one. The closest one should be Tim Duncan."

Barkley: "Okay, the people you mentioned all won championships later. Now let's predict whether guard Young of the Philadelphia 76ers can win the Rookie of the Year this season?"

Kenny Smith immediately took up the conversation: "Of course, if his performance is getting better and better, there is no doubt that Ze Yang is currently averaging 16.5 points per game, which is already higher than other rookies, including those in the lottery zone."

Kenny continued: "He is one of the most improved players I have ever seen. No matter what happens in the future, his progress this season will definitely not stop."

According to the practice of previous programs, Kenny will not talk too much, but Yang Ze's progress is too fast, so fast that the rookies of the same year are a little desperate.

This is also normal. He is training when others are sleeping in the morning, and he may have just finished training for the day when others are having fun in a nightclub at night.

It is fair to give and return in this world, you will get as much as you give.

Barkley said: "Since I joined TNT, this is the second time I have dedicated a show to a rookie, the first time being Tim Duncan."

"Our staff also went to the Philadelphia 76ers to learn some inside stories. Although he has only entered the league for a few months, his story is very inspirational."

Barkley then talked about how hard Yang Ze was abandoned by the two teams in order to win a guaranteed contract.

After getting the contract, he worked hard to enter the rotation lineup, and after entering the rotation, he desperately fought for the starting position.

Including Yang Ze and Willie - Green that heads-up.

As soon as this program on Turner TV was broadcast, Ze Yang became famous all over the United States.

But hearing Barkley praise himself, Yang Ze is still a little worried, but this is a TV show, if Barkley belittles himself, some fans will definitely turn black tomorrow, don’t doubt, Charles Barkley’s influence in the American basketball circle is not small .

After a day of training, Yang Ze received a call in the rented room from a certain sneaker brand.

"Excuse me, you are repeating, what brand of sneakers do you have?"

The other party: "xxx brand."

Uh, Yang Ze said that he had never heard of this xxx brand of sneakers, it is probably a small brand.

"You want me to speak for you?"

"Yes, that's right. We initially proposed a sneaker contract of $200 million a year for you. We hope to have an interview with you."

Yang Ze felt that without seeing the other party's face, he knew that the other party must be a businessman.

Bullying me doesn't understand anything, bullying me is stunned, with a one-year sneaker contract of 200 million, it is estimated that only those stars who owe a huge amount of debt go back to endorse.

Yang Ze knew that after the draft, LeBron James received three sneaker contracts, namely Adidas, Reebok and Nike.

Reebok even offered a 10-year contract of 1 million US dollars. James was unmoved because he hoped to sign with Nike.

Moreover, NBA stars need to start at least 500 million to sign a sneaker contract.

Otherwise, it would be too cheap, and some keyboard warriors would even say that they are crazy about money, and they will accept any garbage endorsements.

"I'm sorry, I have to go to the away game tomorrow, and I may not have time to interview you."

The other party still did not give up and said, "It's okay, we can wait for you to be free, or talk to your agent."

Yang Ze: "Let's talk about it later."

In fact, I don’t have an agent, and I’m alone. In fact, compared to foreign sneaker brands, Yang Ze hopes that domestic sneaker brands can cooperate with him, so that even if he has time, he will talk to them.

As for the xxx brand, which seems a bit cheap and has never heard of the name, forget it.

Ze Yang: I'd better continue playing.
