Reboot McGrady

Chapter 189 190 Conditions
"Congratulations, I believe, you will have an even better career in the future."

"Thank you, Boss Mai." On the other side of the phone, Battelle spoke slowly, worried that Mai Di would not understand, even though Mai Di communicated with him in American Chinese.

Maddie smiled and hung up the phone.If I remember correctly, this should be the first time Battelle called himself the boss.

People are naturally sensitive when they want to leave. Just now Battelle was quite reluctant to leave Eagle.However, McGrady encouraged him that the most important thing is the excitement of his career.In the NBA, if you don't experience better performance, you will never know where your potential is.

Battelle finally chose the Kings, $47 a year, signed for 2 years, all guaranteed contracts.

Adelman's team will play his coping ability.In fact, he may be more suitable for the Spurs. Naturally, he has very little time, but if he is lucky, he can also improve.Compared with Chris Webber, Duncan will teach other players and help them improve. The international players in the Spurs can play their own characteristics.

Just after winning the championship, the Eagles' lineup has undergone great changes.

Battelle decided to leave, and Terry and Alston also officially left the team, both of whom went to the Mosaic team.

The annual salary of Terry's contract reaches 800 million US dollars, and the contract is signed for 5 years, increasing year by year, and it can exceed [-] million in the last year.Alstom is a basic salary, which has little impact.

Ewing and AC Green are already arranging the retirement ceremony, and the team will make a special trip to hold a press conference for them.Together with the new players entering the team, the old and new replacement ceremony will be held.

The main force structure is stable, and then two rookies, Yao Ming and Haslem, are added, as well as Laettner, Turkoglu, and Tyronn Luliu. They lack a backup for the back line, preferably a combo guard.

Looking out of the window not far away, there is an endless desert, and occasionally you can see a few cacti standing proudly.On the other side of the landscape is the bustling Las Vegas, which exudes blurred luxury in the scorching summer.

How many tycoons spend a lot of money, and how many girls get off to the end.

Luxuriant, comfortable.should be seriously criticized.

"Hey, Tracy, you invited me, nice to meet you." Kenyon Dooling gave McGrady a big hug.

Kenyon Dooling is only a substitute player in the Clippers, and his performance is average. Last season, he averaged 4.1 points and 0.9 assists per game, which is a little transparent.

"Because you have a unique temperament." McGrady smiled and responded to the other party. "I admire your leadership ability. Train with me, and you will improve a lot."

Although Kenyon Dooling is just an ordinary role player, he will have a lot of influence in the future and is good at communicating with people. In a few years, he will become the first vice chairman of the NBA Players Union.

This is what McGrady values.

After Kenyon Dooling arrived, another new player came over.McGrady showed a warm smile again, "Welcome, my idol."

Penny Anfernee Hardaway, playing for the Suns, after Kidd left, he showed obvious oldness.In the season that just ended, he averaged only 12 points, 4.4 rebounds and 4.1 assists per game, but he played 80 games and remained healthy.

His scoring average, in the Suns, has been ranked behind Marbury, Marion and Rodney Rogers, and the Suns are fourth.

"Tracey, you still think of me, which makes me very happy." Hardaway looked at McGrady, his eyes were full of perfect self.If he can stay healthy like McGrady, he will definitely have a more exciting career.

As early as 1995, he and O'Neal formed the first-generation inside and outside line combination and reached the finals, but lost to Olajuwon.

"You are my idol, and this will not change." McGrady rarely said such words, "How about it? Teach me some tricks?"

"Hahaha, I will, you will, I won't, you will too. What can I teach you? Just play with you. Mr. Champion, FMVP, really enviable."

Hardaway's elegance is beyond McGrady's reach, so he hopes to learn a few tricks from his idol to enrich his arsenal.

And Mike Miller, he followed Tracy McGrady to the Dominican Republic, rested for a while, and followed McGrady to Las Vegas, very excited.It proves that Boss Mai has not forgotten him. This is a testimony of the friendship between the two.

In addition, McGrady also invited Bowen. After transferring to the Spurs, his defensive skills have improved. McGrady's special training needs to be polished by defensive strongmen.

And during training, he will not deliberately use his speed to surpass others, but more to study his skills, use his personal technical breakthroughs, or make room for his shots.Bowen's speed naturally has no advantage, but his defensive skills are irritating.

Hardaway, Dooling, Bowen and Mike Miller, and of course Big Ben and Jackson, the two big thugs around McGrady, the effect will be better if they train with a group of people.

In addition to training, it will be more interesting to form a team to fight.

"Olajuwon and Ewing will be here, but they won't be there for a few days. Let's practice first, guys, change clothes first, and try our luck at Caesars Palace."

As soon as you meet, you don't need to go into training.Combination of work and rest.

Wayne Hall and his training team are in Las Vegas.Over the past few years, Wayne Hall has watched McGrady continue to grow and has a sense of accomplishment.

Jackson leaned on the gambling table, as if possessed by the God of Gamblers, kept counting blackjack, and soon won 21 yuan.

Mike Miller was unlucky, the slot machine played for most of the morning, and the dog couldn't get out once.

At the poker table, McGrady mainly focuses on technical skills, and also has small victories, winning thousands of dollars.As a tip again, give it all away.

Check the time and return to the hotel early.Certainly not for dating actresses.Instead, negotiate a new contract.

Arne-Trum went to Germany and walked around again, and the two sides reached a preliminary agreement.Then, the media broke out that Nike, Converse, and Reebok were eager to sign McGrady and were ready to hand out huge contracts, especially Converse and Reebok, and even wanted to use equity to attract McGrady.

Adidas finally couldn't sit still. CEO Herbert Heiner personally visited and rushed directly to the Caesars Palace Hotel where McGrady was.

"Tracey, the company's board of directors has held a meeting and has decided to build the T-1 brand, and you will become a shareholder."

McGrady didn't rush to respond, and looked through the files. The T-1 brand focuses on the high-end sneaker market, but the price is not very high. In Europe and the United States, it is about 50-80 US dollars. Only some special styles, or the same style, will exceed 100 US dollars.

The shares given to McGrady are the original shares of T-1, accounting for 30%. Using progressive income, if the sales exceed 10 pairs, McGrady can get 100 million US dollars, and then use this as a basis to progress upwards.

If the sales exceed 500 million pairs, McGrady's dividend will reach 70%, which is also the condition of the cap.

It can be said that such conditions are extremely generous.If McGrady hadn't won the championship and became the FMVP, and the team had recruited Yao Ming, he wouldn't have gotten such a good contract extension.

Yao Ming has not officially played the game yet, and has already caused an upsurge in the United States. Even if this upsurge is just booing, in China, his voice is very high, and McGrady's popularity has also opened up a new situation.

"I have worked with Adidas for many years, and I also hope to continue to cooperate with you, so I agree to this condition." McGrady didn't struggle too much, "But I want to add one condition, T-1 can also sign players in the future and become spokespersons. And , I want to have a certain right to make suggestions and have the power to vote.”

"No problem." Herbert Hainer breathed a sigh of relief. McGrady, the cash cow, cannot be poached by Nike, otherwise their influence in the United States will only continue to decline.
