The strongest basket king

Chapter 19 Nike Focus
Nix manipulated for a while, and finally killed himself in advance.

Everyone has the impression that Kobe doesn't like passing the ball very much, but his scoring is three grades higher than Anthony's. The consequence of the Knicks pinching is that the last few minutes become garbage time.

Everyone was on the bench, and Jeremy Lin also had a chance to play.

He scored points as soon as he appeared on the court. In fact, he also has ability. When he was in the Warriors last year, Xiang Chu watched his game. He just wanted to play with the ball. For role players, this is a deduction item.

Sitting on the sidelines watching Garbage Time's performance, Xiang Chu had the illusion that he was a boss.

4 points and 11 rebounds, for a blue-collar insider, it must be a passing performance.

It's a pity that he won't be able to start after the game, and when Bynum comes back, his chances will be greatly reduced.

Xiang Chu posted a melancholy message on social media, "100% win rate in the first game, scumbags, do you think I've ever been proud!"

After the discussion of the strongest insider in the 2011 class, some NBA players have followed his social media. When everyone sees him, they feel that this guy is so shameless.

That's not a bad idea, and theoretically he's right.

Fans don't care, what should be black, what should be supported.

Xiang Chu found that the rate of increase in popularity was not the same as yesterday, it was much slower.

The same batch of wool is not easy to collect. To get a lot of heat, he still needs some different explosive points.

Calm down and think about it, the speed is already good now, and the heat value is already climbing towards [-].

His choice was correct. If he stayed in the NCAA, he might not even have five hundred now.

One magic skill can make him gain a foothold in the NBA. If there are two more, Xiang Chu looks forward to it very much.

Apart from paying attention to the heat value, Xiang Chu's life is very simple, training, eating, and going back to sleep.

In fact, I still feel a little uncomfortable renting with others, so I'd better ask Jim to help me find a new place to live after a while.

It would be better if the area is larger, and you can put some fitness equipment. He is a little disgusted with his own improvement speed now.

Just after practice the next morning, Jim Smith came to him.

"Go out to eat, I treat guests, there is a good restaurant nearby that can provide athletes' meals."

Jim has something to talk about, and Xiang Chu can only reluctantly have a meal with him.

Otherwise, he really doesn't bother to eat. Eating is the same everywhere, and it's more comfortable to eat in the team cafeteria.

When Xiang Chu went to the restaurant, he saw Murphy and Mike Roberts, so whoever owned the restaurant could not be.

Everyone is considered a newcomer to the Lakers, but it's just a matter of saying hello and friendship.

Jim Smith also ordered a glass of red wine, but of course Xiang Chu wouldn't drink it, as he had to train in the afternoon.

"There's good news..." Jim paused intentionally, and found that Xiang Chu didn't react much before continuing, "Nike plans to sign you, surprise or not."

"Wow, what a surprise, what's going on." Xiang Chu was really surprised this time.

Of course it's cool to have a big brand name, but he is now a poor man with a basic salary.

"We are still negotiating now. Let me tell you about the situation. They plan to sign for four years, with $[-] in cash per year..."

"How much?" Xiang Chu was really shocked this time.

The usual news is often that a certain brand has signed a contract for hundreds of millions, and the lesser ones are tens of millions, [-] US dollars. It is dignified to get a basic salary, okay?

Xiang Chu was indeed inflated, and looked down on fifty thousand dollars, although he also played in the previous two hundred dollar game.

No matter how small a mosquito is, it is still meat, and Xiang Chu doesn't mind extra income, but he knows that he has potential, and he will suffer badly if he is bound by a small contract by an unscrupulous businessman.

Jim Smith was also a little speechless. If he hadn't seen Xiang Chu's potential, he would have come to inform him, at most a phone call would have done it.

"My brother, don't worry, I will fight for the best contract for you, and don't dislike the small contract. Most players and other big brands don't even give cash, just give two pairs of shoes and it's over, just like your university as it was then.”

"They have a reward clause, and they can get up to 50 U.S. dollars, and..." Jim Smith said with a strange expression, "It's not your potential on the court that they value most."

"You have to know that there is a saying in the circle that centers don't sell shoes."

"Don't talk about those things that are not good enough. If you sign for one year, you can do whatever you want. For four years, you can't sign like this." Xiang Chu is not someone who can be fooled casually.

"If you don't give cash, you can sign for one year, and if you give cash, you have to sign for four years. Even the minimum of [-] US dollars is the same, but the regulations can still be negotiated." Jim Smith said.

Xiang Chu also clarified his attitude. If Jim casually talks for one year, there must be preconditions for four years. If he has the strength of an All-Star, it is impossible to get such a contract again.

Centers don't sell shoes, but players at the All-Star level certainly don't just take such a small amount of money.

It's not that Xiang Chu hasn't read the news. Doesn't Howard have tens of millions, and the sneaker contract doesn't have tens of millions, so he's embarrassed to go out?No matter how many years, it was not at this price in the early years.

Jim Smith also wants to report to a big brand. In fact, he is also a little upset about Nike's contempt, but Nike is the first big brand to come up. He only received calls from commercial competitions a while ago, which annoyed him .

However, after Xiang Chu became popular on social media, other people came to him.

"Ahem, I will try my best to talk about it. Besides, there are some business activities that don't require playing ball. Take a look..."

Xiang Chu saw some records on the other party's newly bought tablet computer, which were almost promotional activities of shops and restaurants, probably Lakers fans or his fans.

"It can be considered if it doesn't affect the training, but this season's schedule is tight, I'm afraid there will be no chance..."

"Jim, I'm telling you very seriously, whether it's a commercial activity or an endorsement contract, you must first approve it from me. We are a partnership, so you can't cheat me." Xiang Chu said with a serious expression.

Jim Smith was a little embarrassed, "How could I cheat you, I came here and told you in person."

In terms of control over clients, sports agents are far inferior to entertainment agents. Jim Smith also has a very clear feeling when he switched careers. He definitely doesn't want to offend a potential client like Xiang Chu.

Xiang Chu asked some more details, and then gave the matter to Jim. He has to train when he is not playing, and he definitely has no time to take care of other things.

However, Nike's fancy is his ability to make things happen on social media, which also makes him a little depressed.

After training in the afternoon, Xiang Chu didn't think much about these things.

There was another game to be played the next day, and Xiang Chu already felt the intensity of the NBA, which was much stronger than the college league. Unfortunately, when Bynum came back, he had to return to the bench.
