I'm not a basketball bully

Chapter 435

As Durant, who became famous earlier than the two others, he is constantly active and endorsed.

Making money in the NBA is so easy.

The two of them have been envious for a long time.

Now that there is such an opportunity to sign a contract, the two people will definitely not let it go.

Once a stable contract can be signed, even if the two of them cannot get a big contract in the NBA in the future, there will still be an endorsement contract as a guarantee for their future.

Not to mention that brand ambassadors will receive a lot of special assistance from the company.

From the daily training of NBA players to the dietary team, they can save at least more than a million dollars every year in this area.

After a little preparation, just after six o'clock, the two of them arrived at the hotel Su Ye and the others had reserved early.

What they didn't expect was that Su Ye arrived here twenty minutes early.

Seeing Su Ye's bodyguard stopping the enthusiastic fans outside the door, the two of them also had endless envy in their eyes.

Sooner or later.

We also want to become as prestigious a figure as Su Ye.

And Su Ye had no idea what these two people were thinking at this moment.

What he wants to do now is to finalize the contracts between these two people as soon as possible.

The three of them chatted while eating, while waiting for the lawyer sent by Ace Brand to confirm that the process of signing the contract was formal.

Su Ye also inquired about the two people's voices to see if they were interested in signing a contract.

The result is obvious.

The two freshmen were overjoyed when they heard Su Ye mentioned the sneaker contract.

Seeing the reactions of these two people, Su Ye also showed an intriguing smile.

There's something interesting about this!

But signing a contract with these two people and increasing the influence they bring to the brand is no small matter.

From a certain perspective.

Before the two people really became famous, Ace Company lost money investing in both people.

The moment when you really make money is the year when two people each make a name for themselves.

From that year on, Su Ye's long-term investment in these two people was able to gradually show returns.

As time goes by, the revenue these two people bring to the Ace brand will double.

Even from a certain perspective, if the two people do not renew their contracts with Ace in the future.

Then the sneakers of their playing years will directly become out of print and have higher value in the fan market.

How to design the time for two people to sign a contract is the key!

The real explosive period of Westbrook's career was the season after Durant walked out, which was the 16-17 season. Won the MVP at that time, averaging 30+ per game, and averaging a triple-double.

In the 15-16 season, Westbrook already had triple-double potential, averaging 23 points and 10 assists.

If you sign with Westbrook, you have to sign at least an 8-year contract.

The three years of 15, 16, and 17 are the most critical.

Every year Westbrook's popularity grows, the brand's revenue will gradually increase.

In addition, in the last year, Westbrook will have to consider whether to renew his contract in advance.

Raise him for four years and let him fight for another four years, benevolent and righteous to the end.

It happened that the lawyer from Ace's department also arrived at the meal time.

"To be honest, I'm optimistic about your potential."

"How about this."

"I won't follow you Moji, I hate Moji."

"Sixty-four million US dollars in eight years, an average of eight million dollars a year, what do you think?"

Su Ye tapped his fingers on the table.

For Westbrook, he can be said to have everything in hand.

Eight million dollars a year is absolutely an astronomical figure for Westbrook.

But considering Westbrook's future height, 800 million a year is definitely a bloody profit.

And Westbrook didn't seem to expect that Su Ye would offer such an amazing contract.

Before coming, he discussed it with Harden.

They felt that Ace would give them three years of trial and error opportunities at most, and they should seize this opportunity.

Su Ye offered Westbrook an eight-year contract as soon as he came up, which completely broke the two people's original expectations.

Westbrook was stunned, and Harden's envy was written on his face.

After Wei Shao came to his senses, he nodded quickly.

"Yes, of course."

"Thank you, senior, for giving me this opportunity."

"I will definitely perform well."

Others don't understand, but Westbrook understands.

Eight million a year is not low.

When Durant helped him contact Nike, he was not willing to give him 400 million a year.

Su Ye turned around and gave himself eight million. He couldn't miss this opportunity.

After confirming it with Westbrook, the lawyer was just about to pay for the contract when Su Ye suppressed him.

"Not urgent."

"I'll give you time to think about it."

"This is just a meeting. There is no rush to sign after the game is over."

"I will invite you to Ace's headquarters at that time, and we will discuss it in detail there."

Su Ye's hand showed full respect and moved the two of them deeply.

The lawyer himself was Su Yela who came to support the situation. Compared with money, giving the two people respect and understanding was the most critical part.

And soon Su Ye set his sights on Harden.

Harden looked impatient, which also made Su Ye feel like laughing.

in memory.

Harden became famous earlier than Westbrook.

After joining the Rockets in the 11-12 season, Harden's scoring average soared to 25 points per game, becoming the league's top scorer.

The real explosion of popularity was also during the Rockets era.

In the 15-16 season, he averaged 29+ points per game, close to 30 points. At that time, he was almost the most popular player in the league.

Coupled with Harden, who won the mvp in the 17-18 season, the light bulb combination and the Warriors launched a fierce battle, which is difficult to understand in the hearts of countless fans.

It can be said that Harden is the only person signed today who can bring positive benefits to Ace the fastest.

Whether it can be stuck in the 17-18 season is even more critical.

"Harden, I'm very optimistic about you too."

"I know you need a chance to express yourself."

"I called you both here because I see the same potential in you. You two have unlimited future."

"I don't treat anyone differently, and neither does my Ace brand."

"So, you have the same contract as Russell, 8 years and million US dollars, an average of million US dollars a year."

"How about it?"

As soon as these words came out, Westbrook was a little surprised.

But I saw that Su Ye did not distinguish between the two people, and was willing to offer a contract far higher than the market price.

With such understanding and trust in these two people, Westbrook and Harden don't have any extra thoughts at the moment, they only feel grateful.

Harden drove Su Ye dumbfounded.

Even he himself never thought that one day he would get the same contract as Westbrook.

After he came back to his senses, he also asked cautiously.

"Well, Senior Su Ye, look at the price, isn't it too high?"

Seeing that Harden didn't dare to accept his offer, Su Ye couldn't laugh or cry.

indeed.

For Harden, who is still the sixth man in the Thunder, giving him a contract equivalent to that of a starter is indeed a bit too high.

But Su Ye knows best.

The future Harden will be at MVP level.

800 million a year is not high at all, and it is more profitable than Westbrook.

Su Ye pretended not to care and waved his hand.

"Here, just take it."

"I believe in your potential."

"It has nothing to do with price."

"The market price is the market price. Ace Brand believes that you have this value. It doesn't matter what the price is."

"I'm just investing in you."

Wei Shao was worried when he saw Harden still hesitating.

He quickly poked Harden twice with his elbow and winked at him.

Only then did Harden tremble and agree.

The two of them also enjoyed this meal very happily.

Needless to say, although the contract was signed after the game, Su Ye could feel that the matter was already close.

After signing Westbrook and Harden, Ace Sports brand already has four major spokespersons.

Su Ye, Kobe, Westbrook, Harden.

Su Ye and Kobe represent the present, while Harden and Westbrook represent the future of the brand.

After 13 years, as long as Curry is retained as the spokesperson, the market value of the Ace Sports brand will definitely explode.

Especially in the years 15 to 18.

Huo Yong's shocking battle!

Westbrook triple double king!

At that time, the Ace Sports brand would definitely be super popular.

If Curry is signed again after 2013.

I can't imagine it, I just can't imagine it.

Su Ye was very happy.

Let the other side take out all the wine he has collected to celebrate the conclusion of the contract.

. . . . .

After that, the Knicks vs. Thunder that fans were looking forward to officially kicked off.

At Madison Square Garden that night, many people bought tickets to get a glimpse of the Thunder's three young men.

As one of the dark horses of this season, these three young players represent the next ten years of the NBA.

People can see potential in all three.

Facing NBA king Su Ye, everyone is also looking forward to the performance of these three people.

After a brief introduction on the sidelines, the starting lineups of both sides were also reported to the technical desk.

Thunder starting lineup.

Westbrook, Jeff Green, Durant, Ibaka and the 2-meter Skotic.

Among them, only Westbrook is the team's point guard, and his height is limited.

The remaining three are all big men.

This season, Westbrook is responsible for killing the inside, and Durant solves the thorny problems of offense and defense, coupled with the grounding ability of Ibaka inside.

It can be said that this season the Thunder's offense and defense are integrated, and they are gradually reaching their peak.

After seeing such a lineup in the arena, the Knicks decisively chose to change their lineup.

Starting list.

Deron, Su Ye, Wilson Chandler, Randolph, DeAndre Jordan.

Let Wilson Chandler, who is taller, raise the height of the lineup to better deal with the Thunder's tall lineup.

All media and fans are looking forward to the battle between the two teams.

At the beginning of the game, the Knicks were still the first to seize the ball.

DeAndre Jordan was used as the starter this season. DeAndre Jordan really has nothing to say about jumping balls.

10 times out of 9, he can help the team win the jump ball.

Deron dribbled toward the half court, preparing to start a positional battle to see the state of the Thunder.

Looking at Westbrook who looked like a Ninja Turtle in front of him, Delong was slightly startled.

Long before, when he knew he would face the Thunder, he had studied the player Westbrook.

In 08, he was drafted by the SuperSonics and entered the NBA. This guy's statistics are increasing year by year.

As a representative figure of the frame-rushing point guard.

Westbrook's ability to hit the basket is definitely unique in the NBA.

Whether this guy is holding the ball and rushing to the frame in singles, or his speed on fast breaks, he is very scary.

Although it seems that this guy is the same type as Rose, he mainly kills the opponent's basket and draws fouls.

But in fact, this guy also has organizational and defensive abilities that are beyond ordinary people.

Compared with Rose, he is better organized and has better defensive ability.

Rose is simply hard to defend.

This guy is neither easy to attack nor easy to defend.

Deron quickly determined his thoughts today.

Delaying Westbrook allowed him to focus more on organization and defense.

At the beginning of the game, Deron also tried his hand.

After missing two long points, it was the Thunder's turn to attack.

Westbrook had just dribbled across half court when he saw Durant standing at the three-point line holding his knee.

Seeing that the people around him had already pulled away, he was facing Wilson Chandler. Westbrook understood it instantly.

He walked directly to the other side with the ball 45 degrees and passed a long pass to Durant.

After receiving the ball, Durant was immediately full of murderous intent.

Needless to say, the fact that he can still serve as a small forward at his height is enough to scare many people in the league.

And the threat this guy poses is also different from ordinary people.

Others' triple threats always protect the ball at the chest and waist level.

Durant's triple threat puts the ball directly over his head.

Ordinary outside players look at the basketball. Even if they want to steal, they need to jump with all their strength to get the ball from Durant's hands.

This invincible body shape coupled with excellent outside skills.

Wilson Chandler felt sweaty just standing in front of Durant.

Durant lowered his body, retreated to open up space, and then switched his left hand to his right hand. This huge deformation completely frightened Wilson Chandler.

Usually when he plays from the outside and sees people in disguise, at most he runs from the left to the right.

Durant's transformation completely changed from his left hand to his right hand, an arc that was almost as long as his wingspan.

There was no one who could react. Durant used his long legs to go directly to the inside. Facing Jordan's defense, he rounded his arms and directly completed the dunk.

From the start of the single to the end of the single, it did not take 5 seconds in total.

The NBA videographers around the courtside who were specially recording were dumbfounded.

They all felt that if they didn't adjust the focus in advance, the lens wouldn't be able to accommodate Durant.

After scoring a goal, Jordan also complained to Su Ye.

"Boss, this person is too outrageous."

"Why do I feel like I'm playing against the center?"

"How to play this!"

Su Ye also shook his head helplessly.

With Durant's size and skills, I'm afraid there's no other player in NBA history.

Those who are taller than him are not as good as him in man-ball combination ability.

Those who are shorter than him don't have the oppressive feeling caused by his height.

It can be said that with a height of 208cm, coupled with this guy's wingspan of 225cm, standing there with his arms and hands spread out, he is even better than some NBA midfielders.

Not to mention that this guy also has skilled outside ability.

On the Knicks bench, Prosser frowned.

He thought about Wilson Chandler's height and his ability to carry a head.

Looking at it now, it seems a bit overwhelming.

It had just started, and he decided to give it a little more try.

But the coach ignored one thing. He was not familiar with Durant's playing style and the entire Thunder's offensive thinking.

Roll call!

It can be said that this Thunder team is completely different from other teams.

Everyone is a strong player in the team, and they name the weak players of the opponent to help the team expand its advantage in a short period of time.

But the Thunder are different.

Durant has a perfect reputation, but a little less prestige.

After Westbrook finished taking the shots, there was still Harden on the bench who could take the shots.

The three people took turns calling the names.

A game lasts for 12 minutes, and each player has three minutes, but there is still room left.

Not to mention that in addition to offense, these people also have achievements in other aspects.

Durant's defense.

Westbrook's fast break.

Harden's organizational skills.

When the three of them play singles together, they will focus on picking out the soft persimmons.

And now the most obvious soft persimmon in the Knicks is Wilson Chandler.

The commentators couldn't help but joke.

"This won't work. Durant will continue to play alone against Wilson Chandler."

"It's coming! It's coming! Breakthrough! CIC! Hit!"

"Durant got off to a hot start today, scoring four points in a row!"

"Wait! Come again, Durant."

"Are you happy to beat him today? I also beat Wilson Chandler."

"Ouch! Hit again!"

"Six points!"

……

Prosser's expression changed.

He didn't expect that Wilson Chandler, the taller player in the team, didn't even have a chance to face Durant and was simply beaten.

Although Wilson Chandler is a weakened champion puzzle player, he won't be beaten like this.

In the distance, the commentary box was also commenting on the Knicks' first start.

"Wilson Chandler, as a player, you said he contributed to the team, yes, but he is not that important."

"This player needs to score points. His ability is average."

"You have to defend. Although he is tall, his performance is mediocre."

"The only thing that makes sense is that as a rotation player, your team gives him some time to let him perform. That's okay."

"If you really put him in the starting lineup, you can see that his shortcomings are now infinitely magnified."

"His current strength does not allow him to compete with NBA star-level players for a long time."

"Look, it's here again! Durant beat him again."

"Ouch! It's 8 points! In the first 4 minutes, Durant scored eight points by himself. It's time for the Knicks to call a timeout."

Sure enough, Prosser decisively threw out the team's timeout.

If Durant is allowed to continue to perform at this stage, the team will be defeated sooner or later.

After looking around the bench.

There is only one tall player left in the team.

Looking at Stephenson's eager eyes, Prosser sighed helplessly.

"Stephenson, go get ready."

The Knicks voluntarily submitted the substitution.

Stephenson comes on to replace Wilson Chandler.

As a player, Stephenson will be difficult to completely restrict Durant if he plays against Durant.

But from a certain perspective, Stephenson has the ability to liberate the team's offense.

Far away on the Thunder bench.

Durant took a sip of water and wiped his sweat with a towel.

Looking at Stephenson who was excited to play on the technical stage not far away, his eyes were very calm.

Now he has a clear understanding of his own strength.

What's more, he has watched Stephenson's game, and he has no pressure at all against such a player.

"Stephenson, right."

"This boy's celebration is quite naughty."

"Hahaha, indeed, I don't know if he has any new action designs."

"I'm looking forward to it."

On the sidelines, Harden and Westbrook were chatting with gusto.

After all, Stephenson has long become a fun-loving person in everyone's mind.
