The invincible kryptonite of basketball

Both popularity and officials sided with Tang Tian.

Tang Tian didn't want to argue with these trolls, but it seemed that he didn't need to take action at all...

Durant got angry after seeing Kobe and Stern's tweets, and was about to send another tweet, but found that he was restricted from speaking.

The prehistoric power from the official...

He was so angry that he smashed another mobile phone.

Kobe and Stern's team finally stopped the rhythm on Twitter.

But it could be felt that those who had sprayed before just didn't dare to speak anymore, they were lurking, and waited for Tang Tian's new season to fail before spraying.

Tang Tian didn't bother with them, he was sitting in a coffee house in New York right now, having a lengthy negotiation with the people from Nike.

The two-year, 2 million contract he signed with Nike has expired, and the two sides are negotiating a new contract.

Fagan is trying his best to negotiate the annual salary of the new contract with Nike people.

This is Tang Tian's first major endorsement contract in his career.

Nike people are also trying to lower the price as much as possible.

The income that Tang Tian brought to Nike in the past two years is quite considerable, and they also attach great importance to Tang Tian.

This can be seen from Tang Tian's previous Nike China tour.

But because Tang Tian chose to leave the Spurs, he left the championship team and went to a new city to develop. The future is full of many unknowns.

Unknowns represent risks, which will make them cautious when negotiating contracts.

Tang Tian was just listening from the sidelines at this time, and now he also needs the money for this contract more.

When it came to the end, there was no result after one round. The two sides went back to rest and continued to talk the next day.

"Tang, what is your psychologically expected price?"

After leaving the coffee shop, Fei Gen turned to Tang Tian and asked.

His current negotiation is based on Nike's bid and has been raised, but the specific number mentioned is not counted.

"1000 million a year, don't be too long."

Tang Tian replied.

Although he didn't participate in the negotiations before, he also heard them talking about 800 million a year.

Ten million endorsement contracts are rare in the league, and they are basically superstars.

But endorsement depends on popularity. Tang Tian's current popularity is there, and he is a swingman who can sell shoes, so the price can't be low.

You must know that when Nike wanted to sign the peak Yao Ming, it was a contract worth hundreds of millions.

Of course, Tang Tian said that the biggest consideration for this price is the krypton value.

The endorsement contracts of those domestic brands have been renewed for another year or two, and the endorsement fee has increased slightly, plus BMW's second-year contract.

These add up to almost give him an extra krypton gold value of about 200 million US dollars.

And when he signed with the Pelicans before, he also negotiated with Demps, and he will advance the salary of the first year of the contract in advance.

The advance salary of NBA players is up to 80% of the total contract, but that is when the contract is large enough, and the general contract requires the player to negotiate privately with the team.

Like Tang Tian's one-year advance payment, it was written in the contract after the negotiation.

In this way, he basically already has a krypton gold value of about 500 million US dollars.

The 1000 million endorsement fee deducts Feigen's commission and tax payment, plus some tax avoidance methods, and can get about 600 million.

Adding up, his krypton gold value exceeded tens of millions.

And ten million is the price required to buy a purple skill.

Now that there are so many doubts from the outside world, buying purple skills is basically imperative.

"That could last a few days."

Fegan thought for a while and said.

800 million to 1000 million is a level, and it is not so easy to negotiate.

Even if Tang Tian is very popular, the alliance has tens of millions of endorsement contracts, and both hands can count them.

If Tang Tian was still in the Spurs before, he would be more confident, but now that he is in the Pelicans, it is really hard to say.

Tang Tian nodded to signal him to talk first.

If it really doesn't work, just find a new spokesperson.

Endorsement contracts are too many to be too little. Durant won more than 30 endorsement contracts a year at his peak.

In the next few days, Tang Tian went directly to training by himself, leaving Fagen behind to talk with Nike's people.

After waiting a week, Fagan sent him to the scene.

The contract has been negotiated, 4 million in 4000 years.

Tang Tian didn't want to sign a long-term contract, and neither did Nike. After all, Tang Tian was considered a half-risk player now.

The number of years finally negotiated is more suitable for both parties.

After officially signing the contract, Tang Tian can be considered to have won the first ten million contract in his career.

Compared to going to Twitter to argue with fans, is this obviously a more powerful response?

You Durant called me a traitor, but your current contract is 7 million for 6000 years, and my annual salary is higher than yours!

Are you angry?

Very angry, but there is no way, the reality is sometimes cruel.

On the second day after the contract was signed, Tang Tian received his first endorsement fee from Nike.

Almost $600 million or so.

The effect of his team's tax avoidance for him is still obvious, which is more than 100 million more than normal.

In this way, his krypton gold value will add up to 1100 million, exceeding 1000 million, which has already met the requirements for exchanging purple skills!

Chapter 4 Purple Skills (First Change) (Revised)

After a day of training, Tang Tian returned to the room and pulled out the system interface again.

After using it only a few times a year, the system feels both familiar and unfamiliar to him.

After turning on the system, he turned his attention to those purple skills.

Small hook (Yao Ming): Increase the stability of the hook by 25% and reduce the chance of being blocked by 15%. Condition: The height must be above 2 meters.

Pengci (Harden): Increased foul success rate by 25%, has a certain chance of getting a body whistle, condition: must be exchanged for the king of free throws (Calderon) in advance.

Iron Wall (Ben Wallace): Increases strength by 25%, reduces opponent's shooting stability by 15%, condition: must be exchanged for a muscle stick (Maggette).

Desire to score (Kobe): After hitting the iron 13 times in a game, all attributes will increase by 15%.

Stadium Commander (Rondo): Increase pass stability and pass vision by 20%, condition: must be exchanged for fingertip art (Divac).

Overlord's Button (Stoudemire): Increase the success rate of the button by 25%, and reduce the opponent's attributes by 10% after the button is successful, lasting for 1 minute.

Turtle Bombing (Westbrook): 20% increase in breakthrough start speed and final stability, and 5 points in aerial confrontation and dunking. Condition: Explosive packs (Maggette) must be exchanged in advance.

McGrady dry pull: increase the stability of dry pull by 20%, reduce defensive interference by 20%, increase waist strength and arm strength by 5 points, condition: must be exchanged for the King of Bounce (James White) in advance.

Large-scale defense (Garnett): Increase the lateral movement speed by 25%. When a conflict occurs, there is a certain chance to trigger and fight and retreat to avoid conflict escalation.

Melon Triple Threat (Anthony): Increases offensive confusion by 30%, condition: must have shooting, breakthrough, and passing skills.

Sanction of Truth (Pierce): The success rate of the lore shot is increased by 5%.

……

Purple skills are a qualitative leap compared to blue skills, but there are also some exchange conditions.

Turtle bombing is a good choice, but the explosive pack (Maggette) he needs to redeem in advance is a blue skill.

The krypton gold value is not enough, and it will take time to find an endorsement of two or three million a year. This seems to have to wait.

The good news is that his Coca-Cola endorsement fee will be paid in November, and he can exchange it for a dynamite pack to lay the foundation.

Temporarily unable to exchange breakthrough skills, his goal became clear instead.

Since last year's playoffs with McGrady to learn dry drawing and improve his waist and arm strength, he has actually been laying the foundation for exchanging McGrady for dry drawing.

Now that the foundation is in place, it will be a matter of course to exchange for McGrady.

He even looks forward to his scoring in the new season.

McGrady relied on his single-handedness and breaking through to score for two consecutive years. Although he can't redeem his breakthrough skills now, the season has just begun.

And even if there is no breakthrough for the time being, he still has that one-handed three-pointer, and he may not necessarily score less than McGrady.

There is also the Bounce King that comes with an exchange. He wanted to participate in the All-Star Game last season, and this happened to be solved together.

The Bounce King directly added the Bounce attribute. After the exchange, he glanced at it, and the Bounce ability without confrontation in the second-level interface has already reached 90.

This is the scary part of the system. These white skill packs, which seem to be the same as the basics, have conditions and restrictions, but the additions are also exaggerated.

After exchanging for the King of Bounce, he continued to exchange for McGrady.

The 1000 million krypton gold value bottomed out in an instant. Compared with the previous tens of thousands and hundreds of thousands, this wave is like the real krypton gold, which is a big deal!

After exchanging skills and standing up, Tang Tian could clearly feel his body after training, his waist was not sore and his hands were not swollen anymore!

Waist strength, arm strength, they are all good things!

When he arrived at the training hall the next day, Tang Tian intensified his training in dry pulling.

After gaining the skill, the feeling he felt when he pulled up was obviously completely different from before.

Whether it is the suddenness of the jump, the scissor kick and the feeling of the shot after the jump, or even the feeling of freedom when the shot is taken, it is completely different from before.

Although I can't see my state after jumping, I can imagine that I must be very handsome.

"boom!"

However, the skill obviously needs time to get used to, and his first shot missed the basket.

He shook his head, it seems handsome is not enough, he needs to practice more.

Fortunately, Tang Tian had laid the foundation before, and it was really much faster to get started than other skills before.

This also gave him an inspiration. Next time, if you want to exchange any other skills, it is best to start preparing half a season or even a season in advance.

In that case, the time for him to adapt will be greatly shortened.

After the training, they worked hard as a group of five and went outside to find a restaurant for dinner.

"Shabatz said he wanted to join us in training."

During the meal, Walker asked Tang Tian a question.

Shabatz, that's Shabatz Napier.

The younger brother they brought with them when they won the championship at Kangda is now the absolute core of Kangda.

It's just that UConn failed to enter the championship this season, so he chose to stay and play for another year.

"Shabaci, he should be a big boy too."

Before he knew it, Tang Tian was about to start his third season in the NBA, and Napier had also played in NC for three years, and he would be a senior in the next season.

"Yes, he will be able to participate in the election next year, and he can directly get a degree certificate."

Walker said with a smile, with a little envy in his eyes.

This is quite normal. If they want a certificate, they have to go back and get a certificate. Napier doesn't need it after four years of study.

The next day, Tang Tian saw Napier in the training hall, but what he didn't expect was that Napier was not alone, but came with the other two main players of the school team.

One is forward Porter Wright, and the other is inside Niels Giffey.

Napier was at the front, and he walked like a big brother.
