NBA Please Answer 2007

Chapter 86
The 2008 All-Star Game ended in this way. Li Zhi won the MVP of the Rookie Game and the Slam Dunk Contest. Belinelli won the three-pointer.

The theorem that people are afraid of being famous and pigs are afraid of being strong is not true in the NBA. With Li Zhi's attention-grabbing performance in the All-Star Game, batches of endorsement contracts followed.

Li Zhi was drinking red wine and watching TV in the hotel room when Andy Miller called.

Andy Miller said excitedly: "George, good news, there is a big contract!"

When Li Zhi heard the word "big contract", he was instantly refreshed and said, "What kind of contract, let's talk about it."

"Many, Nike and Adidas have been contacted, and there is a Chinese company called Anta, they hope to get your sneaker contract."

Andy Miller swallowed, and continued: "There are also some other endorsement ads."

"I'll talk about the rest later, let's talk about the sneaker contract first!" Li Zhi said impatiently.

Andy Miller said: "Let's talk about Nike first. Nike hopes to sign an 8-year long contract with you, 8 million in 8000 years, which is also the highest."

"The second is Adidas, they give 5W for 6000 years."

Li Zhi asked: "What else? Anta?"

Andy Miller on the other end of the phone said excitedly: "Anta... 6 million in 8000 years!"

6 million in 8000 years?
Even Li Zhi was in his heart for a while, you know, James' first sneaker contract is already very big, with a total value of 7 million in 9300 years, an average of 1328 million a year.

Anta bid 6 million for 8000 years, with an average of 1333 million a year. This is a sneaker contract comparable to James.

"Sign, Anta!" Li Zhi chose Anta without hesitation.

Anta was chosen not only because of the high endorsement contract Anta gave, but also because Anta is made in China, and Li Zhi has a natural affinity for it.

In the previous life, Anta was most famous for signing NBA star Klay Thompson. Thompson was regarded as the most conscientious spokesperson and carried out many activities under the arrangement of Anta every year.

In addition to Thompson, Anta also had the "Three Musketeers" Bunch Wells, Francis and Scola during the Rockets period.The current Celtics stars Garnett and Rajon Rondo.

Andy Miller is a dedicated agent. On the 18th, he successfully signed a contract with Anta. Anta and Li Zhi reached an agreement to produce Li Zhi's first-generation sneakers. The specific design will be discussed in detail later.

The contract that Li Zhi signed with Anta quickly spread to the country, and the people of the country were all delighted. Anta took the opportunity to launch a discount activity, and people bought it very much.

Fans buy it because of Li Zhi's extremely high popularity in China. Li Zhi is now the second superstar in the hearts of Chinese people after Yao Ming.

……

After signing the sneaker contract, Li Zhi originally wanted to take advantage of the two-day holiday to train, but the system prompted an upgrade, and Li Zhi could only train in the arena depressed.

On the 20th, the Warriors played away against the Jazz.

Perhaps because of the joy in his heart after signing the endorsement contract, Li Zhi was eager to try before going on stage, with a strong desire to perform.

In this game, Li Zhi scored 21 points, 5 rebounds, 3 assists and 1 block, but the Warriors gave it to the Jazz.

In the battle between the old men, Sloan was obviously better. The Jazz used the pick-and-roll to torture the entire Warriors team.

The Jazz lineup has not changed, it is still the original formula, and it is still the original taste, but the core Deron Williams has undergone a metamorphosis.

The champion of the skills contest defeated Paul. Deron seemed to have opened a shackle in his heart. He scored 29 points, 12 assists and 3 rebounds, and led six teammates to double figures.

This game also exposed a fatal problem of the Warriors, lost tactics.

In this regard, ESPN experts said that Nelson's tactics are a product of a cross-age era, but they are not suitable for the current Warriors.

His own tactics were looked down upon by the outside world, and the old coach was angry, but the fact of losing made Nelson helpless. Since January, the Warriors have lost repeatedly, and the record directly reflects the flaws in Nelson's tactics.

The tactical reason is one. Li Zhi clearly felt that the atmosphere in the team had changed after the All-Star break.

The end of the season is getting closer and closer. For the masters in the contract year, the inability to renew their contracts in advance prevents them from carefully preparing for the game.

In this game, Baron Davis scored 17 points, 4 assists and 1 rebound, which obviously did not satisfy him. The arrival of Crawford will inevitably occupy Baron Davis' playing time.

Humans are selfish animals, and sometimes there is no reason for selfishness. Stephen Jackson's shots dropped to 8 times in this game, and he was in extremely bad condition. He only hit two goals and scored only 6 points.

Baron Davis seemed to have forgotten the promise to "scrutinize statistics" with Li Zhi and Monta Ellis. Li Zhi reminded him, but Baron Davis left the locker room with a gloomy face after the game.

After the game, Yahoo Sports said: "The Warriors were beaten back to their original form in World War I. Their ugly appearance, selfish and ugly offensive tactics, and giving up defensive resistance made them unable to win a victory. Statistics show that the Warriors' defensive efficiency ranks third from the bottom in the league, tied with the Thunder and the Heat."

This report aroused the ridicule of countless fans. The Warriors stole the limelight at the All-Star Game, and at this time, countless people came to add insult to injury.

After seeing the news, Avril specially comforted Li Zhi: "George, don't worry about those remarks in the accident world."

Li Zhi smiled and said, "No, I'm fine, I'm a man."

Avril said with a smile: "Well, I hope you are still a man."

American Sports continues to look down on the Warriors, saying: "If the Warriors rush to the playoffs, someone must stand up and take on the responsibility of the leader. The old Nelson can't save the Warriors, and the incompetent Mullin can't bring new players to the Warriors. Only the players themselves can redeem themselves."

Seeing the outside world looking down on the Warriors, Li Zhi felt very bad inside, and Li Zhi suddenly remembered what Kobe said.

"Jordan!"

Li Zhi clenched his fists tightly, and his thoughts gradually changed.

On the 21st, the Warriors played against the Celtics at home.

The loss to the Jazz did not make the Warriors fans lose their enthusiasm. The home court is still full. Many fans come here just to see the "best rookie" who can rival James.

Owner Chris Cohan turned a blind eye to the status quo of the Warriors. In his opinion, as long as it can make money, the team's record doesn't matter, and profit is everything. This is also the thinking of most NBA bosses.

Avril Lavigne was watching from the sidelines of the game, and many people were excited about Avril Lavigne's arrival. No matter a man or a woman, gossip is natural. Some people talked about who is more beautiful, Avril Lavigne or Scarlett, and some whispered about the process of Li Zhi and Avril Lavigne's acquaintance.

When it comes to Scarlett, I have to say Durant dude, dude has been a little swollen recently, and he publicly confessed his love under Scarlett's Twitter, which made fans laugh for a while.
