Chapter 250 Adidas Headquarters
Chapter 244

In an office at Adidas headquarters.

"Shu Ruier, are you sure?" After watching the first quarter of the game, several middle-aged people who were visually identified as Adidas executives sat together, as if they were discussing something...

"Why, Buck, you're not sure yet?!"

"This... is too risky, right?" The middle-aged man named Buck frowned!

"I know what you are afraid of. Are you afraid that Lei Feng will be like Ross in the future, and the peak period is too short? Isn't it!" The middle-aged man named Shu Ruier asked.

"That's right, to be honest, I have great recognition for Lei Feng's strength. I even dare to say that he is stronger than Rose, the youngest MVP in NBA history at the same age. However, after all, no Chinese or even yellow race has played in the NBA. Long career precedent, I'm afraid he won't last long!"

"He is different from Harden. Harden's style of play is destined to be difficult to suffer from major injuries, and his career will definitely be extremely long, so we dare to sign a 13-year long-term contract with him!"

"However, Lei Feng's style of play has too much physical confrontation..."

The office fell silent, and everyone was thinking in their hearts, what Buck said was absolutely correct...

One is that Chinese or even Asians have no precedent for having a long career in the league. Second, Lei Feng's style of play is too much physical confrontation, and the chance of injury must be much greater than Harden's!

For these two reasons, many people are not optimistic about whether Lei Feng can have a long and healthy career like James!

In general, from their point of view, Lei Feng is strong, even stronger than Ross and even James of the same age, but they are afraid that Lei Feng will wither too quickly like Ross...

This silence lasted for nearly 10 minutes, and finally the management named Shu Ruier spoke...

"Buck, I quite agree with your point of view, but you don't know the commercial value of Lei Feng. I have a hunch that signing him may allow us to completely surpass Nike in the Asian market!"

Buck nodded. He didn't deny Shurell's statement. The signing is naturally necessary. The question now is how to reduce the risk as much as possible while signing Lei Feng...

What if Lei Feng signed a contract with Harden's level, or even surpassed Harden's level, and then Lei Feng directly scrapped his career next year?Then who can Adi ask for reasoning...

"Shuriel, I mean, it is natural to sign, but the question now is how to reduce the risk!"

The scene fell into silence again, and everyone was thinking hard about what method to come up with to reduce the risk of this huge signing...

After another long period of silence, Shu Ruier spoke again...

"Nike offered 8000 million US dollars for five years. Judging from the news we have inquired so far, Lei Feng and the team behind Lei Feng are definitely not willing, but this price is indeed impossible to agree to. I feel that this offer Might just be a tentative offer from Nike..."

"How about this, let's quote a price of 5+5, how about going to test it first?"

Everyone looks weird, 5+5 contract?Naturally, they don't know what this means, that is to say, the first five years are guaranteed contracts, and the second five years are non-guaranteed contracts, a total of ten years of contracts.

In the next five years, Adidas may formulate some restrictions before Lei Feng can get the full quotation stipulated in the contract.

"Can Lei Feng and the team behind Lei Feng be willing to have such a contract?" Buck frowned...

Under normal circumstances, players will definitely tend to sign guaranteed contracts. Whether it is in terms of player salaries or player endorsements, after all, no one knows what will happen in the future. In case of accidents in the future, they cannot continue to play in the NBA , If the career is over, then these guarantee contracts can also keep the players from getting nothing.

Buck was afraid that Lei Feng would not be willing to sign such a contract.

"It's okay, we can increase the price of the guarantee contract for the first five years. As for the next five years, the price will definitely be higher than the first five years, but the conditions are more stringent. I think Lei Feng and the team behind him will definitely consider it carefully!"

"I think Lei Feng can persist in the league for five years!"

"In this way, although we need to pay more in case Leifeng can reach the restrictive conditions in the next five years, this kind of plan is a relatively safe plan for us. Even if there are some accidents, the next five years We won't lose too much this year!"

Shu Ruier spoke to everyone in the office again.

Everyone nodded. Judging from the current situation, Shu Ruier's proposal is undoubtedly perfect.

"Then how much are you going to give in the first five years?" Buck asked again.

"1.2 million US dollars in the first five years, of course, this is only a preliminary offer, I think as long as it does not exceed [-] million US dollars, we can accept it!" Shurell said confidently.

If outsiders hear the conversations of these people, they will definitely take a breath of air. It will be 1.2 million US dollars in five years?And this is just a preliminary offer?Up to [-] million US dollars can be mentioned? !

This money is simply blown by the wind, right? !

"As for the next five years, Barker, please come up with a restrictive contract. Give him $1.5 million for five years, but the conditions must be more stringent, such as double best lineups with all-star starters, attendance rate and average data per game. On the other hand, all must be restricted!"

Everyone in the office didn't make too much fuss about such a contract. They are all executives of Adidas, so they are naturally very aware of Lei Feng's current commercial value!
It is no exaggeration to say that in their opinion, Lei Feng's commercial value must be higher than that of Harden!
Harden has black spots on his body, coupled with the small market in Houston...

As for Lei Feng, at least so far, judging from his performance on and off the field, he is very likable, and New York, the most prosperous city in the world, and China, the most extensive market, can definitely contribute to Lei Feng's commercial value. Add a lot of color!
"We don't have to worry much about Nike. They have too many top players in their hands. I don't think they will be too aggressive and give Lei Feng a bigger contract than us! Under Armor really needs to worry!"

"Under Armor was going to offer Durant a 10-year contract worth 2.7 million US dollars, but Nike matched this contract. I feel that Under Armor would probably not want to miss Lei Feng!"

"Let's play by ear, anyway, we must get Lei Feng!"

"Let's watch this game carefully..."

……

At the end of the holiday break, Lei Feng was a little restless, he felt as if something extremely important had happened!

He never expected that Adi was already negotiating to offer him an amazing contract.

……

The game on the field continued, and Lei Feng continued to appear on the stage.

In the first quarter of the game, Parsons' accuracy was not bad, so Lei Feng also gave Parsons a lot of opportunities, allowing him to have a good scoring performance in the first quarter...

When the second quarter was almost over, Lei Feng and Harden both went off the field again.

In the second quarter of the game, Chandler made 3 of 3 three-pointers and was quite efficient. Coupled with Lei Feng's steady performance, the advantage of only one point in the first quarter was extended to five points.

And in the second quarter of the game, Lei Feng and Harden's statistics were evenly matched, almost equal...

Lei Feng is not in a hurry, he holds the 12-second God skill in his hand, and if he wants to score points, he is still sure to surpass Harden in scoring.

……

In the middle of the third quarter, Lei Feng saw that the team had used up all four fouls, so he was ready to use the 12-second God skill without saying a word!
Fingers pointing to the sky, God possessed...

But the moment Lei Feng made his first three-pointer, Harden went straight to the technical table and called a timeout before his own inside line fouled Howard...

Lei Feng was startled, a little helpless, the same trick was used too much, and all opponents were already prepared.

Howard was replaced, Capela was replaced, these two players who were not good at free throws were all replaced by the Rockets coach...

In the end, Lei Feng didn't dare to continue to use foul tactics. After all, the opponent's players made free throws quite well, with a hit rate of about [-]%. Using foul tactics in this situation is really risky.

However, even though he did not fully display the 12-second God skills as he wished, Lei Feng also hit a three-pointer, and with the end of Howard and Capela, the Rockets were weak inside, which made Gobert and Ball It's not a loss for Guinness to feel refreshed...

This three-pointer was quite fatal. After the hit, the point difference between the two sides officially entered double digits, that is, a point difference of more than ten points.

Fischer was sitting on the sidelines in full leisure, his face full of confidence, and another victory would be within easy reach!
……

When the fourth quarter was halfway through, the Rockets called for gold and withdrew. Lei Feng hadn't expected that the [-]-point difference between the two sides didn't seem like there was no chance of recovering. The Rockets gave up the game so easily. It really doesn't make sense...

Seeing that Harden was off the court, Fisher let Lei Feng play on the court for a while to consolidate his advantage on the court. It was not until the end of the game that there were three or four minutes left and the Knicks had a 4-point advantage. Replaced Lei Feng.

……

Sitting on the bench, Lei Feng looked at the technical statistics in his hands, waiting for the end of the game.

On Harden's technical statistics column, there are 37 points, 7 rebounds, 11 assists and 5 turnovers. This is already a perfect stat...

As Howard has become more and more marginalized this season, Harden's tactical position on the court has become more important, and the data has also increased further, which has improved a lot compared to when he first joined the Rockets in previous seasons.

而雷风的技术统计，则是31分10篮板12助攻2抢断1盖帽3失误的数据，比起哈登可能略微强了那么一丝……

Lei Feng also breathed a sigh of relief, at least he took the lead in the duel with Harden, presumably this can also increase his bargaining chip for a super sneaker contract...

……

At the end of the game, after the fans of both sides saw the results of the game and the absolute core data of the two teams, there was a rare situation where there was no mutual spraying, but it was peaceful. They all congratulated the Knicks for winning the game. The harmony was a bit overwhelming. Human scalp is numb...

There is no doubt that whether it is Harden or Lei Feng in this game, the statistics are absolutely first-class and sharp, and there is really nothing wrong with it.

Although Harden's shooting percentage is a bit embarrassing, he only made 20 of 8 shots in this game, and his shooting percentage was only 22%. However, his scoring efficiency is frighteningly high. He made 20 of [-] free throws, which is really terrifying...

As for Lei Feng, he made 25 of 12 shots, including 4 of 2 three-pointers, and 7 of 5 free throws. His efficiency is not weaker than Harden, and he is even stronger. More importantly, Lei Feng scored another goal in this game. Triple double data!
……

The only thing that makes the Rockets fans feel a little pity is that their absolute core Hakishi has performed so well, but the team is still behind by a big score, which makes them feel quite regretful...
