Basketball's best forward and guard

Chapter 170 172 [Astronomical price sneaker contract]

Perhaps God is witnessing the rise of the bayonet, and the bayonet is destined to become the focus of the league this season.

Just after leading the team to defeat the Houston Rockets, which led to a series of heated topics, another explosive focus topic on the bayonet was officially produced.

That is when Adidas announced that they will provide the Bayonet with a lifetime sneaker contract worth 10 billion US dollars!

boom!
This news is to the entire alliance, no different from the sudden explosion of an atomic bomb.

10 billion dollars?
lifetime contract?

Is Adidas crazy?
Of course they are not crazy.

So what exactly does this mean?
Everyone showed an incredible expression. In the history of nba, there has never been a truly terrifying sneaker contract.

Prior to this, there were only 2 players who signed a lifetime contract with the sneaker brand, one was the basketball god Michael Jordan, and the other was the little emperor LeBron James.

Whether it is Michael Jordan or LeBron James, the amount of the contract they have finalized is not as large as the amount that Adidas has offered to Jiang Hao now.

Take LeBron James for example.

Thinking about the 18-year-old LeBron James who just entered the league, he chose the latter between Adidas and Nike, and the latter gave him a 7-year sneaker contract worth 9000 million US dollars.

And nine years later, when his $9 million contract expired, Nike directly gave him a lifetime contract.

Although Nike did not disclose the price specifically at the time, according to people close to James, the lifetime contract signed by LeBron James and Nike was worth 6 million US dollars.

$9000 million + $6 million!
This adds up to only close to 7 million US dollars.

There is still a certain gap between the contract that Bayonet has now obtained.

"We believe that the bayonet will become the best in history. In fact, we made this decision after a long period of investigation. Of course, the business must be risky, but we are willing to take a risk. We believe that the bayonet will give We bring more in return”

Just when many people questioned Adidas impulsively giving Bayonet this shocking sky-high lifetime sneaker contract, Adidas Group CEO Casper Rorsted stood up and spoke.

Frankly speaking, Rorsted's remarks quickly overwhelmed some people's doubts.

Because as the successor of Adidas' former CEO Heiner, Rorsted is actually under a lot of pressure.

Because it is well known that Adidas has become more and more disadvantaged in the competition between the NBA and Nike in the past ten years. From the Adidas Five Tigers in the Megatron League to the few stars now.

For Rorsted, his taking office, as far as the nba market is concerned, it is necessary to achieve a revival in a short period of time.

However, Nike has developed rapidly in recent years. Generally, if there are good players, they will be the first to sign. For Adidas, it is really getting more and more difficult to sign a big-name star.

And in this case, the bayonet appeared, and a young man from China quickly completed his birth in this league.

This made Roside's eyes light up.

God testifies!

The 21-year-old Finals Most Valuable Player is still a young talent from China.

Rorsted felt that in the dark, this is God helping him, and this is God helping Adidas to rise again.

Therefore, he told the people below that they must conduct an all-round inspection and evaluation of the bayonet. In addition, they should follow up and contact Jiang Hao to try to reach a cooperation with the bayonet as soon as possible.

Frankly speaking, he made a lot of determination and took a big risk to give Bayonet a lifetime sneaker contract.

Just the bet between Bayonet and Morey made him hesitate for a long time, because he knew very well that once Bayonet lost the bet, Rorsted might become the CEO of Adidas who was about to be fired in the history of Adidas!

"The bayonet will not lose. Based on his data in the second half of the regular season and the playoffs last season, we simulated a data sheet for the new season. The bayonet can definitely complete 25+6. In addition, with the Dallas Mavericks' The depth of the lineup, they have an 80.00% probability of reaching the semi-finals of the playoffs”

The conclusions drawn by the evaluation team made Rorsted clenched his fists, but he was still questioned on the board of directors.

And at this moment, reassurance came from the bayonet side.

57 points in a single game, leading the Dallas Mavericks to defeat the Houston Rockets!
This was like a booster, instantly allowing Rorsted to be recognized by most of the directors on the board of directors.

So, just like that, after combining various factors, Rorsted finally made up his mind, and finally officially handed over the NBA's most expensive sneaker contract to Bayonet on behalf of Adidas.

Not surprisingly, the bayonet side simply could not refuse such a contract.

The cooperation between the two parties has come naturally.

Of course, for Jiang Hao, apart from the $10 billion lifetime contract with Adidas that he felt benefited on the surface, in fact, Adidas also agreed to create an exclusive brand, just like Michael Jordan.

In this way, the actual number Sun got from Adidas's lifetime sneaker contract is far more than 10 billion.

Obviously, many people understand the meaning of this, which is why everyone thinks this contract is too scary.

Of course, for Jiang Hao, after he signed the contract, it doesn't mean that he will get the 10 billion US dollars from Adidas.

There are actually many rules and regulations in it, such as he must guarantee not to retire within 10 years, such as how many times he will be selected as an All-Star and so on.

Once these rules and regulations are not completed, although it is not impossible to get a penny of 10 billion US dollars, at least part of it will shrink.

Of course, the rules and regulations that appear in the sneaker contract are not aimed at Jiang Hao alone. In fact, no matter whose sneaker contract is, whether it is a lifetime contract or not, there will be this restriction.

As for Jiang Hao, the biggest restriction he will face next is the bet with Morey.

If he loses the bet and has to leave the NBA next season, then although his lifetime sneaker contract will not expire, the money he can get will shrink to $1 million.

Regarding this point, Rich Paul made it very clear to him when he signed the contract.

Frankly speaking, Jiang Hao could hear a trace of complaint from Rich Paul's tone. Obviously, Rich Paul was complaining that he was willing to bet his career with others.

"Rich, don't worry, if I can't even win this small bet, then what right do I have to stay in this league?"

Jiang Hao said with a smile.
