Chapter 56: Emily Hills
The reason for being tempted is simple, he is short of money recently.

Moreover, considering that he is still playing in the NCAA, the brands are not allowed to sign any endorsements according to the regulations, and the effective period of the contract is after the end of the competition, so they are very considerate.But even if it came into effect now, Tianyang dared to sign. He was very dissatisfied with the NCAA's restrictions.

In March Madness every year, the NCAA and various universities make a lot of money. In the 2014-2015 season alone, the income exceeded 9 million US dollars, but the players can only get a few poor scholarships, which is outright exploitation.

In addition, many universities use taxpayer funds to bribe players privately, improperly and illegally, in order to make more money, but in turn stipulate that players must comply with this and that.

Out of curiosity, Tianyang asked Aaron to email the Nike contract.

After opening it, I realized why Aaron said that it was an average of 2 million US dollars in 1200 years.

NIKE is still skeptical about his future performance.

Even if he wins the NCAA championship, the endorsement contract with a total value of 2400 million US dollars is only 400 million US dollars in the first year, and he must reach 15+ points per game in his rookie season to trigger the 2000 million US dollar contract in the second year .

If you can't win the championship, there is only a one-year $200 million contract.

It seems reasonable, but it is actually an attempt to take advantage of it.

Putting aside the Chinese identity first.

Harden, who started off the bench, only averaged 9.9 points per game in his rookie season. Anthony Davis, who started directly, averaged 13.5 points per game in his rookie season. Even if he is as strong as Curry, he only averaged 17.5 points per game in his rookie season.

Looking back, a Chinese guard who averaged 15+ points per game in the NBA is better than Harden and "Brown Eyebrow" in the new season, and the benefits brought to the brand are at least two 2 million US dollars.

Tianyang told Aaron the question.

Aaron replied that Nike was worried that after entering the NBA, he would not be able to perform as well as he did in college.

After all, there are already many examples of colleges that are so good that they explode, but they can't afford to enter the NBA.

However, Tianyang and the people in the example have a common characteristic.

That is, the style of play belongs to the core style of play, but the physical fitness is not good.

For example, the "Lonely God" Fredette, when he was in the NCAA, he easily beat the two superstars Irving and Kawhi, setting various NCAA records, averaging 28.8 points, 3.5 rebounds, 4.3 assists and 1.3 steals per game.

In 2011, the Bucks selected him with the 1th pick in the first round, and then signed with the Kings.

After entering the NBA, he also scored a high score of 24 points, but his overall performance was 3 kilometers behind that of the NCAA period. In the first three seasons of the Kings, his scoring average dropped from 7.6 points to 5.9 points per game.

In 2014, the Kings announced a buyout of his contract.After that, he wandered around many NBA teams, signed, was waived, signed again, was waived again, and finally fell into playing CBA.

Tianyang understood Nike's concerns very well, and he chose to refuse to accept them.

Aaron was puzzled, Tianyang said that he couldn't let Nike take advantage of everything, and wanted to make a lot of money, but didn't want to take risks, so it's better to daydream.

Afterwards, SkyOcean looked at several contracts of domestic brands.

He thought domestic brands would be more conscientious, but he never expected that all capitalists are of the same nature.

It was said to be at the million-dollar level, but it turned out to be $100 million. Not to mention all kinds of harsh conditions, the contract is shorter than Nike, and they all sign for one year first.

These brands are not as optimistic about him as NIKE.

In this regard, Aaron said that the reason why these brands are so conservative is because he is too low-key, there is no other news except the game, and he has a girlfriend who came to his door and was driven away by him.

Without news, it will be difficult to gain popularity.

Without popularity, even if he is famous in the NBA, it will be very little help to the endorsement brand.

For example, Wall, every time someone mentions it, the impression is fast, and then it's gone.

So much so that Adidas signed a contract with Wall for a lot of money, but he didn't produce signature shoes, and the high bonus had to be triggered by reaching a team, MVP and other conditions.

After thinking about it for a long time, it turned out that it was too difficult to make a lot of money, so Tianyang decided not to sign any of them.

Anyway, there are still competitions. As long as the games are played well and the statistics are good, these brands will definitely increase their endorsement fees.

……

At 18 pm on the 7th, the game between the Stanford Sequoias and the University of Hawaii Rainbow Warriors kicked off.

Although nearly 1W2 thousand fans came to the Spokane Veterans Memorial Arena for the two teams, at the beginning of the game, the fans' eyes were not on the players.

Just because the president of the Lakers, Jim Buss, also came to the scene, bringing Nicholson, a diehard Lakers fan, and a beautiful woman with big breasts, buttocks and an explosive figure.

Jim and Nicholson sat on chairs and watched the game leisurely. The beautiful woman was holding a sign saying in Chinese: "Tianyang, come on, I love you!".

"After Kobe was injured, the Lakers have been sluggish for too long. I hope that the performance of Kobe's successor you mentioned will not disappoint me..."

Before Nicholson finished speaking, Tianyang hit a 3-pointer two steps from the three-point line.

"How? Haha." Jim laughed.

"The NCAA confrontation is not strong, and the defender didn't reach out for this ball." Nicholson shook his head.

"That's because Tianyang's speed is too fast, and the defenders can't react."

"It's so powerful..."

Before the words were finished again, Tianyang made a sudden attack on the center line, and the point guard of the Rainbow Warriors made a mistake in returning to the field.

Jim smiled and said nothing, while Nicholson straightened his body, as if intending to watch seriously.

The Sequoia team attacked, Tianyang received the ball from the left wing position, passed the defender and went inside.Facing the defender, he directly resorted to a 'Wade-style' European step, slipped to the basket, and scored a backhand layup.

"His physical fitness is not bad, and the Eurostep is not too strenuous, not as weak as ESPN said." Nicholson leaned over and straightened his back, wanting to take a closer look.

"Can ESPN be trusted? They first predicted Tianyang's pick at the end of the first round. A group of guys who don't even know how to make omelets, why don't they follow others and rank rookies?" Jim said in a disdainful tone.

The two continued to chat without saying a word, and Tianyang on the court showed his might.

He scored 8 points in 16 minutes, with 3 points, layups and post-up singles.Defensively, he completed 2 steals, all of which were forced hard, which was very brutal.

In the game between the two teams, the Sequoia team looked like they were playing high school students.

The Rainbow Warriors called a few timeout adjustments, but to no avail, and the Sequoias led by as much as 25 points at halftime.

In the second half, the Rainbow Warriors defended desperately. First they double-teamed Tianyang, and after finding out that it was useless, they even went to the criminals, but they still couldn't stop the point difference from continuing to expand.

In the end, the Sequoias beat the Rainbow Warriors 83-55.

Tianyang played the entire game in order to collect statistics, scoring 43 points and 10 assists.

In the auditorium, Nicholson had already taken off his iconic sunglasses in order to appreciate Tianyang's performance carefully. He said with some regret: "If you have the same data in Kansas, then I will support you unconditionally."

"Don't worry, if he plays Kansas, his statistics will be even more terrifying than this one."

"Oh? How can you see it?"

"Oregon and Utah, by far, are the two best teams in defense because they both have high-mobility centers: Jordan Bell and Jacob, but Kansas doesn't. Kansas is strong at guards, and Sky Yang will directly blow up the Kansas guards!"

"Why?" Nicholson frowned.

"Because even Jaylen Brown, who has historical physical fitness, can't stop Tianyang, why should the Kansas guards? As long as they face Tianyang, they will definitely be completely blown away!" Jim shrugged and spread his hands.

As soon as this remark came out, Nicholson was silent for a long time before he asked: "If we don't have the No. [-] pick, it is very easy to be intercepted by other teams. Is there any other way besides trading the No. [-] pick?"

"I think it's a way for you to bring beautiful women today."

"Her? You mean Emily Sears?"
