I'm not really a brutalist striker

Chapter 53 53. Clothing endorsement from a friend
The next day, head coach Terry Stotts announced a day off.

An away victory over the No. [-] Pacers in the Eastern Conference was very exhausting for the Eagles, and the nerves of the players were in a state of extreme tension throughout the game.

Next, the Eagles will prepare for several away games in a row, and there will be a back-to-back game. Instead of extra training at this juncture, it is better to let the players take a good rest and try to restore their physical strength to the best state earlier.

At present, the Eagles have won four consecutive victories in the season, and their ranking in the Eastern Conference has also risen to fifth in the Eastern Conference, second only to the Pacers, Pistons, Nets and Heat.

So far, the team's record of ten wins and seven losses has definitely surprised Atlanta fans.

After all, before the start of this season, no Eagles fan could have imagined that the team would perform such a wonderful performance in the new season.

Let's not talk about the efficiency of the Eagles' offensive and defensive ends. Just say that the Eagles' playing style this season has changed a lot compared to last season.

Especially the fast-break counterattacks and alley-oop dunks again and again, the fans on the scene couldn't stop watching.

Now the Atlanta Hawks are called the "City of Alleys" by the outside media, and some people even bluntly said that the Hawks this season are the most entertaining team in the NBA in the past 20 years.

At the same time, Souter, who scored 36 points, 16 rebounds and 5 assists against the Eastern Pacers, also won the appreciation of a large number of fans outside.

Both the fans and the media were completely conquered by Suter's crazy personal performance.

If Souter left people with the impression that he was a blue-collar with a burst of physical fitness and dared to jump alley-oop anytime and anywhere, then now, many people regard Souter as the future leader of the Eagles.

Even if Rasheed Wallace has a salary of 1700 million US dollars this season, his career honor is more than two blocks away from the rookie Souter.

But anyone with a discerning eye can see that Rasheed Wallace's character is not suitable to be a leader, and the Eagles' management values ​​Suter, who is full of potential.

The reason why he traded with the Trail Blazers for Rasheed Wallace at the beginning was mainly because Wallace and Suter’s playing styles were more compatible, and it would not happen that Suter and Ratliff appeared on the court at the same time and could only stare wide-eyed The embarrassment of small eyes.

At this time, the outside world's high praise and evaluation of Suter is still unknown, because Suter is sitting with his buddy Tom Anderson for dinner.

There was also a young woman who looked very familiar with Tom Anderson, but Suter could not remember where the "monster" was.

The place where the three of them ate was a well-known local Italian restaurant. Tom likes to eat his Italian risotto and pizza very much. Basically, every time he visits Suter, he will have a simple bite or two.

But frankly speaking, Suter doesn't like Italian dishes. Rather than enjoying the taste of the tongue, it's better to say that he can barely fill his stomach.

Of course, Su Te's specialty is the simplest pasta. After all, Su Te looks at those half-cooked foods and feels a bit of a headache.

"Hey, you guys really have a long face. I haven't seen you for two days, and you played such an amazing game."

"It's just a pity. It's really a pity that I couldn't witness your performance on the spot."

Looking at Suter who seemed a little darker than the last time he met, Tom still had the iconic smile on his face.

"Short~"

"It's nothing to be sorry about. Let me know in advance when you come to watch the game next time. I'll show you a single game with 101 points." Su Te took a sip of the Italian pasta and said with a smile.

The smile on Tom's face grew stronger, and he didn't bother to continue bickering with Suter, so he started to talk about business: "Do you know that your popularity is very high now, especially in Canada, your popularity is simply ridiculous."

"And many fans who like you are young people in their early 20s, and a large part of them are couples."

"I think this is an opportunity. I plan to launch a sweater based on your characteristics. The brand name is Vulture."

"If the design is good, the sales of sweaters will not be too low this season."

"When the time comes, you can endorse me, and I will do my best for you. In addition to the sky-high endorsement fee, I will give you 10% of the sales profit. How about it? It's interesting!"

Suter was not surprised to hear Tom say that he was very popular with the fans in Canada.

There are a lot of Chinese fans in Canada, and they have the highest proportion of Chinese fans among all NBA teams. His explosive playing style can easily attract the attention of these people.

As for the commercial endorsement, Suter naturally has no objection. No one will have trouble with money, and the league has never interfered with players' private commercial endorsements.

Originally, according to Suter's plan, his first endorsement contract should wait until he became more famous to be attractive, but he didn't expect that the first person to find him was Tom, his best friend.

As the so-called fat water does not flow into the fields of outsiders, although my best friend is a big carrot in terms of emotions, he is a genius in business acumen.

Not to mention that a normal endorsement contract has no additional sales profit at all, it is basically a one-shot deal, showing your face with money, and the two parties hit it off immediately.

Just talking about the relationship between myself and Tom, the endorsement fee this guy paid for himself must not be a small amount.

"Is it a bit too outsider to tell me that? I'm not interested in business matters. You can do it as you see. If you need me, call me anytime."

Nodding in response, Suter continued to bow his head to cook, not interested in business matters at all.

After all, the two grew up together. As early as when they were in college, Tom took care of financial affairs.

When Suter was the most difficult year, he almost went to the street to beg for food. Without the help of Tom Anderson, whether Suter can still appear in the NBA is still open to question.

"Hey, don't worry, if you make money, it's yours, if you lose it, it's mine. Anyway, it's just a matter of adding a production line. At most, the design department will lose some more hair."

"I plan to set the price of the sweater a little lower. It is best to let all fans who like you have one."

"Anyway, I didn't intend to make much money from this thing, I just wanted to help you improve the cohesion of the fans."

Wiping the stains at the corners of his mouth with a tissue, Tom raised his head and introduced to Suter the "monster" who seemed to be ready to move around.

"Let me introduce, this is Nina, the model for the "Vulture" brand clothing this time."

"This time I plan to launch a couple series for the brand sweater. After all, a large part of the fans who like you are couples."

"She will stay here for a while, and I will transfer someone from the headquarters to take more shots for you in a while." Tom Anderson laughed in a low voice, "By the way, she is still your fan, for To be able to cooperate with you, she has been pestering the company for a long time."

"Nina?"

"Which Nina?"

Hearing the name Nina, and looking at the guy next to him full of little stars, Su Te's right eyelid couldn't help but twitch.

"Hey, man, your way of approaching people is kind of old-fashioned, like you've heard of them a long time ago."

"Nina is a gymnast, and the model is only a part-time job. She has just debuted and is not well-known yet."

"If you want to strike up a conversation, I think you should change your rhetoric."

Tom Anderson sat aside and laughed.

"Hi~"

Suter gasped.

"A gymnast?"

"Nina Dobrev!"
