Dreams start with basketball

Chapter 126 The Pain of Being Famous

"What is China's Jordan, everyone has great expectations of you now," Wu Hai said.

"What do you mean? Are you expecting me to play a game?" Xia Tian asked with some puzzlement.

"That's right, but it's not just playing games, it's playing games for the country""

Playing for the country? You mean?" Rao Shixia had already prepared mentally, but he was still a little surprised that this day came a little too soon.

"Everyone compares you to the latest hope of the Huaxia men's basketball team, the talented defender, the hope of the Huaxia defender"

"No, have you risen to this height?"

"Hahaha, isn't it? Since Yao Ming retired, the Huaxia men's basketball team has no other inheritance except Yi Jianlian. Although we are from Nike, I am also a Huaxia person. We are fellow villagers. To tell you the truth , I asked you to come today because I am very optimistic about your potential, your unparalleled potential." Wu Hai said without concealment, his eyes were shining brightly.

"It's really embarrassing." Xia Tian's face turned red immediately.

"Let's talk first." Wu Hai motioned for Xia Tian to sit down as well, and Xia Tian would wait until Wu Hai did it first. At this point, Wu Hai did not expect that Xia Tian would actually perform so well in some details and etiquette. The maturity and carefulness that does not belong to his age group.

But what really makes Wu Hai's heart is Xia Tian's super basketball potential, so Wu Hai wants to give it a go, even if Xia Tian can't become a superstar in the future, the contract given by his current level is completely reasonable.

Wu Hai doesn't need Xia Tian to make a lot of money for him, but if he wants to be in the top position, he must have chips in his hand. What chip can be bigger than having a superstar chip in his hand.

It doesn't matter if he doesn't succeed, this kind of loss is completely trivial to him, besides, within the scope of Jiangsu Province, he has certain authority and funds to start a newcomer, and sign him and package him.

Moreover, he will participate in the city league in the summer. With his level, there is really no problem winning the championship. In addition, there will be a national competition after that. After one year or two, he can go to college. Going to the United States to play in the NCAA in the summer is completely unreasonable. Enough, as long as he has played for one year, he can participate in the draft. That is to say, in about five years, he can stand in the American Men's Professional League and participate in the NBA draft. Earn it back with interest.

Wu Hai is very confident in his vision, and he is also full of confidence in Xia Tian, ​​but there is one thing he did not expect, that Xia Xia's negotiation level is not low at all, and the maturity, stability, and experience shown are completely beyond his expectations .

After an hour of discussion and research, Xia Tian signed a contract with Nike at a price of one million yuan per year, but with the development of Xia Xia in the future, Xia Tian reserves the right to produce his own jerseys, sneakers, etc.

And not signing a long-term contract is a good thing for everyone. Xia Tian has the right to choose after the contract expires, and if Wu Hai is injured in Xia Tian, ​​or does not have the expected development, after the contract ends, he can also give up Xia Tian. .

But this is not the whole of the contract. The contract also stipulates the tasks that need to be completed every summer. If they are completed, the rewards will completely exceed the contract itself. Take the city league as an example. Nike will specially make a pair of Xia Tian's own For insoles, if you win the championship, you may directly exceed 100 million yuan in the summer, and there are various competitions such as national competitions. If you meet the requirements, your annual guaranteed income can exceed 500 million yuan.

This still makes Xia Tian very excited.

"Okay, then the contract is finalized like this. After two days, the contract will be brought to you in person, and then you sign it and keep the copy. We will keep the original. Before the start of the league in your city, someone will contact you to give us the contract." Shoot a promotional video, so we can publicize it before the league starts, so we won’t waste too much time, and the filming can be finished in an hour.” “Okay.” Xia Tian stood up, hugged Wu Hailai, and set foot on the stage contentedly. way home.

After returning home, he realized that he hadn't eaten lunch yet: "Damn it, a Nike company in Nuoda doesn't provide lunch."

But Xia Tian didn't think too much about it. After all, everyone was so busy, and when there were always mistakes, he wouldn't care about such trivial matters, and just scolded a few words.

But what Wu Hai and Xia Tian didn't expect was that the video of Xia Tian's three-on-three final was once again upvoted. Excellent clip, it's hard not to be popular, almost all websites have forwarded Xia Tian's video, including the most popular post bar.

With the spread of the Internet, Xia Tian became more and more popular, and some fans paid more attention to and looked forward to the future of Xia Tian. Of course, the protagonist of this video did not realize that he was already famous in China.

Wu Hai came home after [-] o'clock in the evening, and saw a video sent by his secretary with some data. He couldn't help his inner thoughts anymore, and quickly opened a bottle of champagne to celebrate. He himself admired it Own decision, this video has completely hyped up Xia Tian, ​​and he can use the Internet to promote Xia Tian again.

Immediately dialed Xia Tian's number, asked Xia Tian's opinion, and immediately arranged a group of photography teams to go to Xia Tian's house to shoot videos.

It only took one day to complete the shooting and post-production. After all, it was just a ten-second short video. After Nike's pervasive publicity, all Nike stores in Jiangsu Province were covered with summer promotional posters and broadcast on TV. Watching the short video of summer.

Although this move has not brought about much change for the time being, there is no doubt that this subtle approach will not be bad if it is persisted for a long time.

It is only two days away from the city league. Xia Tian is already a celebrity at school. Whenever he goes out, there will be students around him, asking him to write his autograph and keep it as a treasure. Xia Tian was very excited at first, but soon he got tired of it up.

In the end, he could only get rid of the school's express prohibition of this move, which allowed Xia Tian to escape from the pain of signing.

With two days left, Coach Li Jian didn't increase the training intensity of other players. Instead, he made strict demands on Xia Tian. After these few days of training, Xia Tian had already missed a lot of tactics that he had arranged.

I deliberately let Xia Tian master the key points of the tactics and the requirements of running positions. Fortunately, Xia Tian's talent is really very high. He basically mastered all the four sets of tactics arranged in one afternoon, and even directly integrated into them. went in.

This also made coach Li Jian and other teammates lament that Xia Tian is really too enchanting, and he was really born for basketball.
