Basketball's best forward and guard

Chapter 18 18 [Shoe Contract]

The smile Jiang Hao showed when he left the field was a bit weird, which made Beverly want to find a crack in the ground to get in. It wasn't until this moment that he realized that he was teased by a rookie tonight.

"What a harmless bastard"

Beverley is sure this will be one of the unforgettable moments of his NBA career.

11 points!
This night, Jiang Hao did not score 20+ again, but this does not seem to prevent him from becoming the number one contributor to the team's final victory.

"Jiang appears to be playing Kawhi's role"

Some Spurs fans expressed such emotion that when Leonard was not injured before, he would always be Popovich’s first choice at critical moments like just now, and he also gave back to Popovich with countless final performances. Povich's trust.

The reason why the team fell into the quagmire this season is the lack of Kawhi Leonard at the critical moment. If there is a healthy Leonard, the Spurs' record will definitely not be so bad. Now, this defect seems to be due to Jiang Hao The turning out of the sky will be wiped out.

115: 103!

The whole game is over, and the Spurs in the away game are happy to mention their four-game winning streak.

"You gotta tell me, old man, it was a gamble, didn't you?"

After the game, Popovich and Rivers came together, and Rivers asked righteously, until now, he could not imagine that Popovich would make that choice at a critical moment.

"Haha, you can understand it this way." Popovich smiled triumphantly, he just liked seeing Rivers' expression.

"Well, congratulations, you have found another guy with unlimited potential." Rivers took a sigh of relief. For so many years, as always, he had to admire Popovich's ability to discern the bead.

However, what Rivers didn't know was that this time it was really not Popovich's discerning eye, but Jiang Hao himself who was favored by heaven.

.........

After an unbelievable four-game winning streak, people found that the Spurs, who had fallen out of the top eight last week, suddenly appeared in the third place in the standings. In front of them were the Golden State Warriors and the Houston Rockets. other team.

"Man, this is the charm of the San Antonio Spurs. For so many years, whenever everyone thinks they should tear down and rebuild, they always stand up like an unbeatable Xiaoqiang. The Spurs have shown in this wave of four consecutive victories. Resilience, go ask the four-star Warriors and see if they are willing to play against the Spurs again in the playoffs."

Jiang Hao and the others returned to San Antonio the next day, and they didn't need to go out to play games for the next week. Three consecutive home games were waiting for them.

For Jiang Hao, this is a rare opportunity to take a breather, just to use the home game schedule to improve his abilities as much as possible. Although he has some bright spots in the past four games, more problems have been exposed.

Take the super long-range three-pointer hit against Beverly's defense as an example. Although he hit the shot, it was more of a dribble blessing, and on the field, relying on luck to survive is definitely a mentally retarded idea.

Just imagine, if the ball failed to hit, but was intercepted by Beverly, the consequence would be another situation. The Clippers are likely to turn defeat into victory. the main responsible person.

He can't be so lucky every time, and there are still many strong defenders like Beverly in the entire league. He can't rely on luck to complete the offense every time.

"Jiang, can you do me a favor?"

After returning to the rental house after an afternoon of training, Jiang Hao found that Xiao En was waiting for him at the door.

"Xiao, just say what you need, I will help if I can help." Jiang Hao was a little surprised. Apart from basketball, what can he do for Xiao En? Does this guy want to practice playing basketball?If so, he could indeed help.

"I hope your profile picture can appear at the door of my western restaurant, which will bring good popularity to my restaurant," Sean said with a smile.

"Advertising?" Jiang Hao knew that Sean had a restaurant near the team's home arena, but was it really useful to put his face at the door?

"Jiang, don't underestimate your influence. Now you have become the talk of the fans. Obviously, you are conquering everyone. Since Tony, San Antonio has not seen such an amazing performance like you for a long time. You are a rookie, and everyone is saying that you will become a star player." Seemingly guessing Jiang Hao's inner thoughts, Sean took the initiative to say.

"I will give you a certain percentage of commission every month, of course, this may be insignificant to you in the near future"

"No need, Shaw, if I can help you, that would be the best, you know, you are my only friend in San Antonio"

Jiang Hao is a person who knows how to be grateful. Sean extended a helping hand to him when he was in the most difficult time. Now he has the opportunity to repay Sean. Of course he does not intend to repay, not to mention that he himself has no loss What.

"If I have a chance, I will recommend LaMarcus to eat at your restaurant. I think it will help you further"

After sending Sean away, Jiang Hao slumped onto the sofa. Speaking of remuneration, he still lacks some money.

The new contract signed before will only pay part of it next month, and now he needs to invest a lot of money in training.

As Englander said, now is the age of technology, and many training aids are still very useful.

"Maybe I can only ask Buford to see if I can advance a salary in advance." Jiang Hao thought like this, except for this method, it seems that there is no other way.

However, what Jiang Hao didn't expect was that the funds required for training didn't bother him for too long. On his way to the training hall the next day, he received a call.

The opponent is Nike, the world famous sporting goods brand.

After some conversations, Jiang Hao ushered in his first sneaker contract in his career, and Nike offered him a one-year sneaker contract worth $18.

Of course, this is just a very conventional sneaker contract.

Obviously, for Nike with a keen sense of smell, they saw green dollars from Jiang Hao, and because Jiang Hao only signed a one-year minimum salary contract with the Spurs, and because he just played in the NBA game, even if they knew Jiang Hao Behind it is the huge Chinese market, and now I dare not open too big a contract to Jiang Hao.

For Jiang Hao, he doesn't understand things like sneaker contracts, and he has no chance to understand.

Anyway, it's only a one-year contract, so sign it. The most urgent thing is to get a sum of money. As for one year later, when the conditions are ripe, he will carefully consider these things.
