I really just want to strike

In short, this labor negotiation and lockout will have a great impact on the future NBA, including the NBA's reputation will also be greatly impacted.

But no matter what, for Su Feng, what he likes to see is...

Next, he will have ample time to complete the next stage of evolution.

……

According to regulations, after Stern announced that the NBA has entered an indefinite lockout, all team venues will be closed as soon as possible.

In addition, because the agreement stipulates that the NBA has no right to use the pictures or even the names of the players, so during the lockout period, fans will not be able to see any pictures and reports about the stars.

After the NBA official website also announced the lockout, during the lockout period, the NBA's free agent market will also be closed.

From the moment the lockout begins, all teams will not be able to conduct any negotiations, any trades, sign players and hold summer training camps, exhibitions, practices, team meetings and coach meetings.

And the players are not allowed to use the team's training facilities for any reason...

Even the team's coaches and uniforms cannot meet with the players.

Coupled with the fact that international players with contracts cannot represent the national team to participate in the competition, for a while, the public is more than just panic?

Well, a rookie like Carter who has just landed in the NBA is almost dying of anxiety, okay?

And there is no way to train or play games, so how can the players' state next season be guaranteed?

In Su Feng's previous life, after the lockout ended, even though the 98/99 season only played 50 games in the regular season, in fact, due to the dense schedule......

In that season, many players even experienced back-to-back back-to-back back-to-back back-to-back back-to-back only in legends, but they played harder than the average regular season.

In addition, most players could not guarantee their own state at that time. In the 98/99 season, almost all teams will adopt the strategy of slowing down the game rhythm and playing positions slowly.

Therefore, in the 98/99 season, being able to average 90 points per game was considered a pretty good performance for a team.

And if Su Feng remembered correctly, in that season, some teams with good defense could even limit the opponent's scoring to around 80 points.

So, what were the bold words that Su Feng said at the press conference before?

He was telling the truth...

Next season, when most teams can't guarantee their status, Su Feng knows very well that the Raptors will definitely be the biggest winner.

Because, in such a relatively slow-paced season, as long as the Raptors can maintain their competitive level and play high-paced offensive basketball, then the entire North America will be their fans.

Even in Su Feng's opinion, even if they are leveling up, the Raptors are very likely to reach the Eastern Conference finals next season.

What's worth mentioning is that since the NBA officially entered the lockout period, Kobe, who has been completely dependent on Su Feng, feels that he was so lucky to have a friend like Su Feng back then.

Because Su Feng was simply a little angel sent by God to save Kobe.

And Carter, who was as stubborn as before, has silently accepted the setting of being Su Feng's younger brother in the next season.

After all, during this lockout period, how many people can prepare in advance like Su Feng?

Throughout North America, Steel House is definitely the basketball special training base with the highest level of training, the strongest team of trainers and the most complete training facilities.

"Oh, a bunch of really fragrant monsters."

There is one thing to say, in this life, after becoming friends with these superstars, Su Feng's awe of them has long been thrown out of the sky with their repeated swings...

……

"That is to say, your agent suggested that you choose to cooperate with Puma, but you can't make up your mind, so you want to ask for our opinion?"

On the 1st, at the House of Steel, when everyone was discussing the lockout, Su Feng's mouth raised slightly when he saw Carter who took off his clothes and got into bed.

Oh shit, that's a really bad metaphor.

cough......

Let's talk business.

Looking at Carter, Su Feng, who had the most say in terms of sneakers, smiled and said, "Do you like Puma?"

Carter shook his head.

"Then which brand do you like the most?" Su Feng then asked.

"Nike."

Carter replied without hesitation.

Sure enough, just as he remembered, Carter was also a diehard fan of Nike.

If Su Feng remembers correctly, the reason why Carter chose to cooperate with Puma this summer is because of the foolishness of his agent Blake, and because of the lockout, Carter was unable to complete the contract with the team, so he was worried that he would not be able to make money in the future .

In the future, Carter also paid a great price for his poor choice.

Because Nike has always preferred his own family, Carter, who was shattered by Puma, joined the Nike family after the termination of the contract with Puma, but the resources that Nike gave him at that time were far less exaggerated than the ones that would be given to James in the future. .

Take Su Feng as an example, if Su Feng is not his own family in the eyes of Nike, how can Nike treat him like Jordan?

Don't be surprised, Nike is a sneaker factory with a virgin complex.

Therefore, from Su Feng's point of view, since Carter has asked him for advice generously, so that Carter can make money for him with peace of mind in the future...

Ah no, play with peace of mind, how could Su Feng not give him some small suggestions?

You know, in Su Feng's previous life, this cooperation between Carter and Puma was simply a pitfall.

The former suffered minor injuries in the early stages of his career because he wore Puma sneakers with soft soles.

The latter was surprised to find out after the termination of the contract with Carter:

Hey, we at Puma make running shoes and focus on racing cars. Why do we want to make basketball shoes?

So, looking at Carter, Su Feng smiled and said, "Vince, since you like Nike more, why are you rushing to sign with Puma?"

Carter was stunned for a moment, feeling that what Su Feng said made sense, but he was speechless.

In Su Feng's previous life, Carter was finally given first blood by Puma, which was also related to the fact that no one around him could give him advice at that time.

After all, for a player with Carter's personality, how many friends can he make who really treat him?

Not to mention McGrady, because the contract between McGrady and Adidas is also one of the reasons why Carter hastily chose Puma.

In general, after being fooled by the agent Black for a few words, wasn't Carter just cheated in his previous life?

But in this life, the situation is different.

After following Su Feng's routine, although Carter didn't talk much these days, it was obvious that he had begun to regard Su Feng and the others as friends.

But today, seeing everyone chatting so happily, Carter, who was stupidly standing aside and didn't know how to intervene, after thinking about his sneaker contract, he wanted to use this as a topic to participate in everyone's chat Come.

"But Sue, if next season gets canceled because of the lockout, then I'm probably going to have no income for a year," Blake said.

And that's why he wanted me to work with Puma. "After thinking for a while, Carter looked at Su Feng and said.

"Vince, there is a saying in China that a twisted melon is not sweet. If you like Nike, why not consider Nike?"

After noticing that Carter had taken the bait, Su Feng was ready to reel in the line.

"Nike?

Sue, if Nike is interested in cooperating with me, then I won't be so distressed. "Carter said helplessly.

"Who said Nike is unwilling to cooperate with you?"

Listening to Carter's words, Su Feng was completely happy.

Speaking of it, Nike during this period, because of the big sales of the A cone, did expand in terms of recruiting young players.

Simply put:

During this period, Nike really looked down on Carter, who had not yet made a name for himself.

In addition, in this life, there is a relationship between PS and A-cone selling together, so how could Nike give Carter's cerebral palsy manager a good look?

But......

Since the brand sold together with A cone is called PS, who is the owner of PS?

You know, as the same operating model as A cone, in the agreement with Nike, Su Feng, like Jordan, has the right to choose the spokesperson of PS.

So now comes the problem.

Who told us that the A cone and PS are not Nike?

"Vince, come wear Phenomenon with me!

Believe me, this will be the hottest and trendiest brand in the next 20 years! "Patting Carter's shoulder, Su Feng smiled.

Hearing this, Carter was completely dumbfounded.

And Kobe, McGrady and others on the side were also stupid.

Because after thinking about it for a while, everyone found that it seems that...

Su Feng's reputation in sneakers is indeed not comparable to his brothers who only have signature shoes.

"If you want, Vince, I'll call the top management of Nike later and ask them to contact you to discuss cooperation matters." Su Feng continued.

Carter: "..."

I am Nima!

Blake missed me!

Although Carter's EQ is not high, he is not really naive.

Listen, one is a stinky younger brother who Nike doesn't like, and the other is a big boss who can sign himself by just saying hello to Nike's top management. For a person like Su Feng, I even wanted to have a relationship with him before. Fight to be the master?

Maybe even the ashes have to be picked up after death?

"Oh, by the way, if possible, I'll ask Nike to make an offer like Allen's and sign a lifetime contract, so that my life will be guaranteed in the future." Su Feng added.

Carter: "..."

My Nima X2!

"Aaron...Su, is that what you mean?" Carter swallowed.

"Of course it's Allen Iverson, one of my best brothers." Su Feng spread his hands.

Carter: "..."

My Nima X3!

have to......

Like Nash, Carter now feels like a hot chicken.

no......

Is Su Feng outrageous?

Others are still working hard to make money, but in a sense, he is now Boss Su?

In Su Feng's previous life, there was always a brainless person who liked to use the sky-high contract between James and Nike to say that Jordan had never received such a high endorsement fee.

But here comes the problem...

Jordan, do you still need a huge endorsement fee?

A cone can give Jordan more than 2 million US dollars in dividends in the next year. Jordan can make money lying down, and he doesn't even need to participate in endorsement activities. Comparing the endorsement fee with Jordan?

Don't brag or criticize, Su Feng's greatest achievement after hacking the Bulls' eighth queen was definitely the PS brand that Nike set up for him.

And don't think that Su Feng wants Carter to be his sneaker seller, but in fact, as long as Carter signs this lifetime contract, just like what Su Feng said, his life will be guaranteed in the future.

Not to mention the small money provided to Carter by the lifetime contract, just the income dividend of the UFO series is enough for him to tell those teams who are worried about his salary when Carter wants to continue playing basketball in the future:

Brother is not short of money.

"I want to discuss it with my mother and manager, is that okay?" Carter, who was moved by Su Feng, said excitedly.

"no problem!

But Vince, I think it's best to hire someone to look it up.

Seriously, I really can't believe that the agent of such a super rookie would suggest to sign with Puma this summer.

So it's best to check to see if he and Puma are hiding anything. "

As a "Humanoid Carter Encyclopedia", Su Feng remembered very clearly that in the future, after Black and Carter broke up, Carter only found out that Black had been hiding many things from him, and had received a lot of sponsors' kickbacks and money. benefit.

Su Feng knew that Blake couldn't stand the investigation, so he reminded Carter.

After all, as far as Carter's NT agent is concerned, Su Feng felt that if it was possible to change, it would be better for Carter to change quickly.
