beast basketball

In this game, Stephen scored 46 points, ten rebounds, seven assists, four steals and two blocks. The first rookie player to play 42-plus in the Finals this year.

In the scoring records of all players in the finals, Stephen can be ranked No.7, which is the same as Jordan's 46 points in the finals in 1. Among the active players, but among the active players, Stephen is not No.48. Because Iverson scored 46 points in the finals in [-], but the record for the youngest player to score [-] points is Stephen's.

After just entering the league for a year, Stephen has already written his name on many records, and if the league no longer allows high school players to participate in the draft, many of the youngest records created by Stephen cannot be broken by others.

How much can such a player be worth?What can be achieved in the future?Take Magic Johnson as an example?Let’s compare it with Jordan, or with Zhang Dashuai, the fierce god of ancient times. No matter which one of these three, they are all characters who have left a strong mark in the history of the league. Could it be said that Stephen will be the next one? them.

The same 46 points, if it comes to the regular season, may only be remembered that day, just like Villanueva's 48 points and Stephen's 51 points, which quickly disappeared into dissipated ripples, but in the playoffs, such His performance can be discussed for a long time. After all, the defensive strength in the playoffs has risen to a level compared to the regular season.

Even a player like Kobe only scored 81 points against the Raptors, and this is a common characteristic of many players who have created personal scoring records in a single game, that is, these teams are not very defensive. In the past 20 years, the players who have played this background role are usually famous weak teams such as the Knicks, Raptors, Wizards, and Clippers.

This is the premise for them to score such a high score. If they can score 69 or 61 points against teams like the Spurs and Pistons, it will be called a real beast. Therefore, no matter how high the score in a single game in the regular season is, There is really no key significance, but it is different in the playoffs. Why is Jordan’s 61 points in a single game not as good as the [-] game, because the [-] points game is his second year of career. In the playoffs, Facing the Celtics led by Bird Larry Bird again.

The God wearing the No. 23 jersey is Larry Bird's compliment to him, and this compliment is not so much convincing as it is an acknowledgment of desperation, which made Jordan truly famous in the world, and why Iverson Being able to become the idol and darling of thousands of fans does not depend on his being the shortest best player in the regular season and scoring champion, but on his ability and courage in facing a kingly team like the Lakers.

In addition to the difficulty of scoring, there is also the issue of attention. In the regular season, there are more than a dozen teams fighting each other every day. Even in the playoffs, there are several teams fighting at the same time. This team likes that one, but when it comes to the finals, there are only two teams playing a game, and this game is broadcast live or relayed to the global media, whether it is the number of spectators or The number of media is unmatched by other competitions.

Even though the ratings of the current finals are declining, and the attention is not as high as before, it is still comparable to ordinary games or playoffs. Stephen also officially entered the field of vision of fans around the world in this game Among them, many fans who don't know anything about Stephen are looking for Stephen's information. According to the statistics of major search engines, after the second finals, Stephen, the No. 99 of the Spurs, 46 points, with these keywords as the The search volume of the search term has increased sharply by more than ten times.

At the same time, the major top manufacturers have also listed Stephen as the target of attention. Although many manufacturers do not want to do such things as long-term fishing for big fish, they are willing to sign popular players. As for the endorsement manufacturers on Stephen, this Time has already made them feel like they have won the jackpot, especially Wake Company, it seems that they have been lucky.

However, the sales of products that had been stagnant due to the media case grew explosively again with Stephen's outbreak. Soon, the phone number of the logistics department became the busiest phone number in the whole company, and except for the R&D department, all departments All personnel had to go to the logistics department to help, and the foreign market, which was extremely difficult to open up, was also loosened by this news. Sales companies in many countries began to accept this product from a manufacturer that they had never heard of before. name.

At this time, in order to poach this rising star and fight against Nike, which has been suppressing itself, Adidas actually approached CAA, and proposed that Stephen terminate the endorsement contract with Wick, and they would pay ten times the damages. At the same time, they also proposed an eight-year contract for Stephen, with an endorsement of 200 million US dollars per year.

If Stephen can win at least one best player in the regular season during these eight years, enter the All-Star Game for more than four years, and be in the first team or first defensive team for three years, if one of these conditions is met, the contract will naturally Switching to a lifetime contract, this sincerity cannot be said to be insufficient, but this kind of behavior is not in line with Stephen's own intentions, and CAA is also very scruples about the negative impact of breaking the contract.

The cooperation with Wake Company cannot be said to be unpleasant. At present, the two parties are jointly fighting a media lawsuit for Stephen in China, but the reputation of Adidas cannot be compared with that of Wake Company. At the same time, the contract offered by Adidas Company cannot be said to be generous. It can be regarded as writing a lot of money. In recent years, the players they signed have not had any sensational performances, and the leaders of the new generation of players have been snatched by Nike. They can't wait to fight a turnaround.

Among their players, apart from Duncan and Garnett, two well-known top players with insufficient commercial development value, there is only McGrady, a top outside player, but McGrady's injuries in the past two years have affected His performance, so they can only hype Arenas with the only "Agent Zero" worthy of promotion.

When Stephen was a defensive coolie at the beginning, they didn't even look at Stephen at all. When Stephen became famous, they thought that Stephen's asking price was too high, and then Wick Company took the lead, but Wake Company That is to say, it has the ability to promote in China, and basically has no reputation in other regions. In their view, it is not an opponent at all.

Although China has more than one billion people, the high-end market of basketball shoes is not too big. Even if the base is large, it is only an emerging market and a future market. In their view, North America or Europe should still be the main market. Lord, so it is not unworthy to pay too much for a player like Stephen. If Stephen does not have a contract, they can gamble with a lot of money, but they have to spend tens of millions If the US dollar breach of contract comes out, they will be reluctant to part with it.

However, Stephen's magical night of scoring 46 points in the finals made them feel deeply regretful. They quickly made a plan and reported it to CAA. Of course, this kind of negotiation was conducted under confidential circumstances. Yes, but you have to let Stephen know, but Stephen directly rejected the negotiation, and now you know what you did when you spent a lot of money to sign yourself.

Although Stephen attaches great importance to money, tens of millions of dollars is still a very exciting figure for Stephen, but it does not mean that Stephen can forget the contempt he has received before, and Stephen believes that as his performance gets better and better Well, if I refuse now, there will be more rewards in the future, and the cooperation with Wake Company is quite pleasant. If the contract expires, in business, everything is done according to the interests, but if the contract is broken now, Stephen still Really feel a little bad.

After hearing that Stephen refused to negotiate, Adidas even pulled out Duncan as a lobbyist. Although Duncan did not come in person, he also called Stephen. Duncan did not force him, but hoped that Stephen would think about it more. After all, in terms of professionalism , In terms of industry status and company strength, Adidas is really a good choice.

However, Stephen waited until the contract expired. No matter which company he signed, it would naturally depend on who offered the highest price. If he broke the contract now, he could only sign under Adidas. This was the biggest reason why Stephen refused to negotiate. Stephen didn’t want to Losing the power of choice, and at the same time, Stephen still knows the reason why there is no progress without competition.

Under the strong attitude of Stephen's side, some domestic media chose to reconcile in private. Soon, the number of media on the accusation list became less and less, and more and more media actively apologized. With great improvement and promotion, Stephen has become a star figure not inferior to Yao Ming in the domestic basketball field.

At the same time, companies such as Coca-Cola, Hewlett-Packard, and McDonald's have made requests for cooperation with caa companies, and American Electronic Arts, the largest video game production company in the sports field, intends to invite Stephen to be the cover character in the latest version of nbalive games, and many Sports magazines also sent similar requests, which made CAA very excited. The flowers that were cultivated unintentionally at the beginning were finally about to bear fruit.
