Forward to the basket

The derby match between Chen Feng and Yao Ming, the biggest impact is not only the rapid expansion of the fan base, or the favor of advertisers, a game is followed by tens of millions of people, this kind of treatment is not something everyone can have.

Even Pierce said that even the NBA's Christmas game has only so much influence in the world. At least in the Chinese basketball market, the tens of millions of viewers are irresistible to any player.

Just like the little emperor wants to open up this market, he also needs time to accumulate, but Chen Feng, it only took less than half a year, he does not have the title of championship, nor is he a proud man of heaven, just such a person who came out of the street Lengtouqing, with the blood of the same ancestors, began to break into that market.

An All-Star Game made Chen Feng known, and a Chinese Derby made this kid start to explode in popularity!

Of course, there is no need to repeat Yao Ming's attention. Now there is a big guy who is so fierce and rushes into the market. Even Falk said after the game that he is considering cooperation with Chinese companies.

This is not just a matter of just talking about supporting the scene. When Chen Feng was shining as an All-Star, all kinds of cooperation intentions from China had already filled Falk's desk. Now, he is just picking a strong one. As for the collaborator, Falk is very clear about the business opportunities contained in that ancient land.

There are already more than a dozen brands that have the possibility of cooperation, and the price of each contract is much higher than what can be offered in the United States. Even Falk is surprised by the financial resources of these guys .

But soon Falk could figure it out, that piece of land really needs a few benchmark figures, think about the one in the 110-meter hurdles, after breaking a world record, what is the annual income?You can know how much economic potential that ancient country has. These contracts are probably just the beginning.

This is also the case including Adidas. Their marketing department issued an order that in the Asian market, they can take advantage of Chen Feng's strong rising trend to start a full-scale war with Nike. In basketball, which they have lost for a long time , Adidas is going to give its old opponent a little color this time.

You Nike have a little emperor?Sorry, we Adidas have a guy who dares to beat the little emperor.

As for the other merchants, they have naturally started to move around. An old fox like Falke with an extremely keen sense of business even dared to assert that Chen Feng's worth would exceed 500 million without waiting for the end of this season. This is just the beginning, annual salary?Who cares about those hundreds of thousands of dollars.

Falk even teased that junior when he was on the phone with Angie, "Chen Feng's next signing contract will definitely make you feel pain, but I guarantee that you will try to keep him."

In fact, there is no need for Falke to explain this. In fact, Angie has been in pain since the day he signed Chen Feng. He used to think that he wasted a draft pick. Now, he is thinking about the future. As far as the contract issue is concerned, Chen Feng's commercial value, he also offered a sufficiently high price.

What's more, that kid has now become an indispensable member of the team. Rivers even said in private that Pierce is now at the peak of his career, but after a few years, it will be Rondo and Chen Feng's world.

Of course, this is all based on speculation, no one knows what will happen in the future, but judging from the current state, Rondo's main point guard is gone, and Chen Feng's main power forward is even more unshakable.

And if they want to keep them after the contract expires, it is probably impossible for the Celtics not to spend a lot of money.

Don't forget, the managers of these two guys are both Falk, how could the old fox miss the opportunity to wrestle with Angie? It's not the first day that Angie knows how difficult that old guy is. Competing about the conditions of the contract, Angie can't guarantee how long he can last under Falk's aggressive offensive. Two years later, if the damn summer comes, it is estimated that Angie will be the most distressed manager in the league.

However, the changes surrounding him outside the arena were unknown to Chen Feng. Apart from provoking the reporters in Houston, Chen Feng and Yao Ming also had brief contact for half an hour after the match.

Of course, the meeting between the two of them was definitely not in front of the camera of the media. It was only a conversation between the two of them. This was also the first official communication between the fellow villagers. Only Xie Miaomiao was by the side at that time.

However, when Yao Ming talked about this exchange afterwards, he also had a wry smile on his face, because it was the first time he discovered that this wild and unruly bald boy on the court was slick like a philistine businessman off the court.

But the deepest impression Chen Feng left on Yao Ming was probably what this guy said during the chat, "You're really lucky, ten years from now, your team uniform will definitely be hanging on the top of the arena. "

"Damn it, I'm a tragedy compared to you, there's no place to hang clothes in Boston!"

Yao Ming: "..."

Xie Miaomiao: "..."

There are really no words to describe their mood at the moment. Indeed, no one has ever seen such a sloppy guy, but in this seemingly joking words, there is also a sense of self-confidence that Chen Feng should have.

Yao Ming may not even think about how long he can play in Houston, whether he can play here until he retires.

As for jersey retirement or something, I’m afraid I haven’t even thought about it. After all, the sky above the entire Toyota Center is nothing more than Tomjanovich, Kelvin Murphy, Moses Malone, Drexler and Olajuwon's jerseys, even if Yao Ming is extremely popular in Houston, it is not an easy task to hang his No. 11 jersey above the arena. His current achievements are still far away Not enough.

After all, the owners of these five jerseys, one is the champion coach, two are champion members, and the other two are the stars of this team. They are all characters who can enter the Hall of Fame. They represent the most brilliant Rockets During that time, Yao Ming's Rockets team is still struggling to break into the second round of the playoffs.

Therefore, regarding jersey retirement, it can only be said that it is rare. If anyone can hang it, it is not a supreme honor, not to mention that the team has to seal this number for you.

However, what Chen Feng had to consider was definitely not how many guys in front of him had already achieved success in Boston, but how he could squeeze a place for himself among the dozen or so No. 20 jerseys.

"I will never think about whether I will hang up. As long as I am playing, I will let that city remember my name, and I will make everyone unable to forget that such a guy existed."

These are Chen Feng's original words, without any deletions, they were all collected in the recording pen by Xie Miaomiao, and they were not written into the biography until he retired. That domineering self-confidence was fully revealed from that moment .

In fact, what Hammond said about Chen Feng is also a footnote for his strong self-confidence, "From the day that guy started playing basketball with me, he said that all basketball courts in Texas must be Remember that there is a number one person like him, he said it, and then he spent three years doing what he said."

Chen Feng made no secret of his strong character. Similarly, this also made Yao Ming realize that if he could have such a guy by his side as a partner, he would definitely be much happier than being an opponent with this wild boy.

The China Derby promoted Chen Feng's commercial value to increase exponentially, but for some people, what they saw was something on another level, for example, this guy was a supplement to the strength of the team.

And for some teams, they need this kind of supplement. Although Chen Feng is full of uncertainties, anyone with eyes can see what he will bring to the team.

Just like Yao Ming, when Chen Feng and the Celtics left Houston by plane, he also called some people. As the most intuitive opponent, he understood the energy contained in Chen Feng.

As the absolute core of the national team, Yao Ming doesn't need to exert any influence, it is enough for him to just express his own experience intuitively.

What's more, before he expressed his attitude, he had always wanted to recruit Chen Feng. Now that someone brought it up first, it was just another excuse. Everyone wanted to make a breakthrough in the grand event a year and a half later.

After all, it’s okay to always be the eighth, and it gets boring after a long time. At the door of the house, there is such an opportunity, who would not want to make a leap, but it is very difficult to make a breakthrough based on the current player structure, but if such a Who dares to say that there won't be a qualitative change when the fierce big guys are recruited?Maybe going a step further is not some unattainable dream, after all, this time I will be the host on my own home territory.

There is still more than a year to go, if we start now, maybe everything will be in time, maybe the only obstacle now is that the big guy has not nodded, I hope Yao's transparent tone can impress him.

For some things, someone has to express his opinion first, just like a guy like Chen Feng, many nba teams are playing with his petty ideas, but no one will start to seduce with a big fanfare before the matter has any clues.

But in the face of a potential opponent like Old K, even if some officials wanted to be a little reserved, they couldn't bear it. After all, the other opponent who recruited that kid was the Dream Team!

Just one day after the end of the Chinese Derby, rumors spread that officials from the Chinese Basketball Association had started to contact Chen Feng head-on. As for what to talk about, it went without saying.

It's just that when Falk received such news, he was also seeking Chen Feng's opinion, and he said in a seductive tone, "You don't think about going to the Dream Team for gold plating? The madness of sweeping all opponents, at least winning the World Championships and Olympic champions is somewhat guaranteed."

Faced with this kind of temptation, Chen Feng replied on the other end of the phone, "Being a champion with them, it would be more enjoyable for me to beat the dream team. It's more interesting to be an opponent than a teammate."

Faced with such an answer, Falk was speechless, "It seems that the old K is not something everyone can handle, at least this guy must be melancholy now, why is the old fox Tarkanian Chen Feng's coach."

While sighing, Falke was also thinking that he dared not to reject the call of the dream team after entering the league for less than half a year. This kid is definitely not a little bit fierce...
