I stole James

Chapter 44
In the game against the Bucks, James finally scored in double figures.

After the whole game, he played 28 minutes, made 12 of 6 shots, scored 17 points, 4 rebounds, 6 assists and 1 block, leading the Cavaliers to a 97-93 victory over the Bucks.

The media commented on his performance in this game as only passing, but far from excellent.

People's expectations for the No. [-] pick are obviously higher, especially for James, a basketball genius who was said to be the son of heaven before participating in the draft. They have higher expectations and requirements, and they can't be dismissed by scoring in double figures. of.

Most media reporters still think that Anthony is better than James.

In the next few preseason games, James scored in double figures, but his playing time was not as much as in the third game. The most game was only 20 minutes. In that game, they played against the Raptors at home. Scored 15 points, 3 rebounds and 4 assists.

The Cavaliers' final preseason game is away against the Los Angeles Lakers.

For James, no, to be precise, this battle was expected for Chu Fan.

Because he can meet his idol Kobe.

Before he crossed over, he had been to the scene of Kobe's China tour and met Kobe.

Well, seeing from a distance, there were too many people at the scene, he couldn't squeeze in at all, so he had to climb up a tree, and saw Kobe in the view.

Then the branch he was standing on broke with a click, because another guy jumped up, he was still a fat man, the branch couldn't bear the weight, and it broke immediately.

Fortunately, he saw the opportunity quickly and jumped away, otherwise he would definitely have his ass fall like that fat man.

Even if Chu Fan fantasizes again, he never imagined that one day he will be able to enter the NBA and compete against Kobe on the basketball court.

So Chu Fan is looking forward to this preseason finale.

Similarly, the system is also looking forward to it, and has given him a new task: score a goal under Kobe's defense, and after completing the goal, he will be rewarded with 8 gold coins. If the task fails, he will be punished. The training does not get experience points into the account.

In order to be able to perform in front of idols and to complete system tasks, Chu Fan must first go through the system and convert the experience points accumulated in the past half a month into ability values ​​to improve his strength.

XP: 393
Gold: 2
Offense value: 36
Defense value: 23
Assist value: 14
390 experience points can increase ability value by 13 points.

He calculated that he needed to improve his offensive ability to complete the mission, so he added all 13 points to his offensive value, increasing it from 36 to 49.

After dealing with these.

He received another call from his agent David.

"LeBron, Nike saw your performance in the preseason and contacted me. Are they willing to increase the offer and sign a contract with us?"

"Oh? Really?" James' tone was light, because he had long regarded this endorsement contract as non-existent, and no longer expected to rely on this endorsement contract to make a fortune. Now his goal has changed, becoming more Spiritual pursuit, not the kind of vulgar material pursuit.

How vulgar it is to live a life purely in pursuit of money, huh.

Of course he would not admit that if the price offered by the other party was high, he could still be vulgar.

After being vulgar, it is for a better spiritual pursuit.

David didn't expect that there was no surprise in James' tone. Now that someone else has found him, he should look a little happy anyway, and this endorsement contract is really not small.

"How much are they willing to improve?" James still asked one more question.

"Sign with us for 1000 million US dollars for four years." David said a little excitedly.

"Don't talk about it." James said lightly.

"But this is really a good offer." David was a little anxious.

Because he knows that although the 4-year 1000 million US dollars is a lot worse than the previous 7-year 9300 million US dollars, but in terms of the current NBA league, it is really not bad, and it can be regarded as a very good job. Sneaker endorsement contract.

The annual value of the first endorsement contract signed by an NBA lottery rookie is generally between $20 and $70.

Last year's No. 160 pick, Yao Ming, had huge popularity with his back against China, but Nike was only willing to offer him a four-year, $[-] million contract.

Of course, this has something to do with him being a center. After all, a center does not sell shoes, and his ability to carry goods is not as good as that of a forward. Naturally, Nike lowered the price.

But now James can get a 4-year endorsement contract of 1000 million US dollars, which has tripled the four-year offer of 300 million US dollars.

This is also the highest price he is willing to quote among the sneaker brands he has come into contact with.

The reason why Nike changed its mind and was willing to give a high price is mainly due to three reasons.

On the other hand, seeing that James' performance in the preseason was completely different from the summer league, it has improved a lot,

The third aspect is because of the massive popularity that James has accumulated since high school.

The latter two reasons are the most important. Otherwise, if David was able to fool the dead into life with his eloquent tongue, Nike would not have reported an extra dime.

Unprofitable business, no one wants to do.

So David wants James to agree to sign with Nike, and he also thinks that James will agree to sign.

1000 million US dollars is not a small amount.

I just didn't expect James to be the word "don't talk about it".

"LeBron, do you want to think about it again? This offer is the highest offer from all the brands I have come into contact with so far." David wanted to fight for it again.

"Don't talk about it, I wouldn't even consider it if it wasn't over 9300 million. I thought the price was too low at [-] million before." Chu Fan rubbed James' face and said.

He has traveled here from 2019, so he naturally knows that the deal that Nike signed James was actually a huge profit.

Of course, the 9300 million rookie sneaker contract has never been surpassed by anyone, even in 2019.

But Chu Fan still feels that even a 1 million endorsement contract, with Lao Zhan occupying the No.[-] position in the league for many years in the future and having such a great influence, is still a relatively cheap endorsement contract.

"Are you really going to stop thinking about it? If they withdraw this offer, you will probably have to play in a different brand of sneakers during your rookie season." David shook his head on the phone.

"Don't think about it. When they bid over [-] million, or when other brands bid over [-] million, you can tell me. As for the rookie season, it doesn't matter. I am willing to spend some time waiting for a suitable contract. Don't do child labor, sign cheap child labor contracts." James said firmly.

"Well, well, I know what to do." David hung up the phone helplessly.

(Ask for a recommendation ticket, ask for a recommendation ticket, ask for a recommendation ticket, let’s hit the small goal of [-] votes)
