no shortcuts in basketball

The news materials that the reporters had just thought up flew away again.

Xu Yong's touch did turn cold as they thought, but that didn't stop Xu Yong's scoring momentum.

Because Xu Yonghui is not just about dry pulling.

Or it can be said that Xu Yong shoots in the way of McGrady, but he is by no means the so-called next McGrady.

He is much more aggressive than Maddie.

Dunking Thabeet's ball was just the beginning, and Xu Yong really went for it whenever he got a chance.

In this process, he showed a core confrontation ability that is far better than that of the rookies of the same class.

He always has a solid shot in the air, which makes his finishing success rate quite impressive.

And as the game continued, every time he scored a goal, the fans at the scene cheered him once.

While cheering, these people also completed the identity change, became Xu Yong's first fans, and started fighting with Xiao Heizi on social media.

Xu Yong also became more courageous in the Vietnam War and scored another 23 points in the second half.

By the end of the game, he scored 48 points!

This directly broke the summer league single-game scoring record created by Anthony Morrow last year!

And Morrow was a second-year player at the time, and he was just a rookie!

At the end of the game, the audience stood up and gave Xu Yong the warmest applause, cheers and whistles.

"We have witnessed a great scoring performance, or, we have witnessed the beginning of a great legend." The on-site commentator played at a super level and spoke enough commentary to match this performance.

After Xu Yong left the field, he hugged his teammates one by one, and finally hugged Harris and patted the latter on the back.

This high score is inseparable from the support of coaches and teammates.

Here I have to re-interpret the word "team". It doesn't mean that if you get more assists, you are a team, nor does it mean that if you score high, you are not a team.

Many people misunderstand this term.

For example, Jordan often wins scoring titles. Doesn't he play as a team?

Another example is that other people always pass the ball to teammates at the decisive moment. Is he playing the team?

A real team is one that makes the team full of cohesion, doesn't care about personal data, and is willing to make sacrifices to achieve the same goal.

Tonight, the Bulls team helped Xu Yong to score high points and respond to outside doubts about his being selected as the second place, which is the best interpretation of the team.

And this scene was also captured by media reporters.

Leaving aside the future, tonight's Xu Yong is worth bragging about after the game.

"Classic Standing Hands Reappear, Chicago's Next Jordan? "

"48 points in a single game, who said he is not worthy of the second place! "

"The 2-meter-21 giant, the yellow race can also fly! "

……

Of course, compared to the reports of the media, the most lively thing is still social media.

"A theory";

"Does the Summer League record matter?";

"What is there to brag about for the No. [-] pick playing this kind of game";

"Don't you know that the summer league scoring champion is Jerry Bayless with an average of 29.8 points per game";

……

If Xu Yong opened social media, he should be able to understand why Durant likes to open a trumpet to fight with people on it.

Because some remarks are really the kind that can't be imagined without having a cerebral thrombosis.

But Xu Yong is not in the mood to pay attention to things like social media right now.

Social media is so crowded, let's leave it to those in need.

The Bulls will play two summer league games, one in Las Vegas and one in Orlando.

Xu Yong flew to Chicago after participating in all 5 games in Las Vegas.

He had just stopped in Chicago before, and he still had a lot to do.

The first priority is to rent a house.

Although more than [-] U.S. dollars a month is not a sudden wealth, as long as you don't spend big, the wealth is still free.

He ended up renting a small villa in the city center for several thousand dollars, which is characterized by its proximity to the United Center and the relatively large living room on the first floor.

Then he went to buy some fitness equipment so that he could get up and train in the morning.

He gained quite a lot this summer league, especially in the next game against the Clippers, the Bulls basically had no chance.

That's not just Griffin's problem, it's the Clippers and three sophomores in Eric Gordon, Jordan Jr. and Mike Taylor.

He doesn't have much advantage in confrontation when meeting these people, so those who should improve still have to continue to improve.

In addition, he also bought a scooter. The cars here are much cheaper than those in China. Buying an SUV with a large space can almost fit him.

After solving these small things, Xu Yong will start to think about the big ones.

During his time in summer league, especially after his 48-point game, too many sponsors came to Schwartz to talk about endorsements.

Among these, the first thing Xu Yong needs to choose, which is also the bulk of his off-court income, is his sneaker endorsement contract.

Xu Yong has a favorite sneaker in his heart, and that is Anta, which is known as the light of domestic products.

Before he was reborn, he had the honor to visit Anta's laboratory. Anta's investment in sneaker research is definitely at the domestic goat level.

It's just that the quality of Anta shoes at this time is still relatively average.

Although he will not be injured, a good pair of sneakers will greatly improve his performance, so Anta is his future choice.

As for now, there are really only two options for him to choose from, Nike or Adidas.

Like Curry's Under Armour, which many people are familiar with, it was after Curry and Nike fulfilled their first contract.

As for New Balance, it is also because of Leonard that he is well-known in the NBA.

Because it is a phased contract, Xu Yong is the same as the signing agent. In the end, his choice is Nike... its AJ.

Regarding why AJ was chosen, I have to mention that man again.

Although in the training hall in Chicago, the Jordan statue in his heart collapsed, but his love for Jordan has not changed.

In other words, my love for that team, the tough, hard-working idol Jordan has not changed.

And AJ is essentially synonymous. The generations of AJ that his parents bought him back then are still placed in his room for collection.

Therefore, he has confidence in the quality of AJ's sneakers, which is also in line with his [want to wear] psychology, and it is perfect as a transitional brand.

And the quotation given by AJ is also the highest among all sponsors.

why?

When a player wears No. 23 on the stage of the NCAA finals and says "My idol is Jordan" under the spotlight, if your operation can't win him, it will be really weak.

In the end, Xu Yong and AJ finalized a short contract of 4 million for 2800 years.

This contract of 2800 is just a basic salary, and it also includes a bonus of 400 million, which can be obtained after meeting a series of requirements such as being selected to the best rookie team, being elected to the best rookie, and the best team.

So this is a contract with an annual salary of 700-800 million US dollars.

Although it is one notch lower than James' contract back then, this is the first of this year's rookies, the one that is out of gear.

As a comparison, Curry signed a four-year 4 million contract with Nike. As for Griffin, Nike's annual salary was only 1000.

Of course, the factors that AJ considers are not only Xu Yong's ability at this time. You must know that as the first Chinese lottery player and an outside player with the top three picks, the market benefits that Xu Yong can generate in China will definitely be Phenomenal.

Saying this may allow fans to better understand, because of Yao Ming, the NBA already has a huge cake in China and has formed a good fan base.

However, as a center forward, Yao Ming does not sell shoes. This is equivalent to saying that the cake of sneakers is basically divided by outside players such as Kobe, Tracy McGrady and Iverson.

But how could they beat Xu Yong, a Chinese outside player?

Leaving aside the future, the exclusive interview with Xu Yong on the night of the draft has reached more than 1 million broadcasts in China, and this was still in 09.

This market potential is even if Jordan comes, you have to talk about signing after seeing it.

After finalizing the sneaker contract, Xu Yong was not in a hurry to sign with other sponsors for the time being, and he got on the plane to Houston without stopping.
