Chapter 61: Shelly Goes Out (Sixth Update)

"So after finishing this season's NCAA schedule, will you announce your participation in this year's draft? Domestic fans are very concerned about this issue, because you are about to become the first Chinese guard player to participate in the draft, and judging from the current situation, you will also become the first player in Asia to be selected by the NBA in the first round of the lottery. ”

"Yes. Zhou Zheng's answer was simple.

"So, do you have a favorite NBA team, or which team would you like to be drafted from?"

"I loved the Satermento Kings two years ago, but now that their flashy league is breaking up and Chris Webber is going to Philadelphia. Zhou Zheng divided into two parts to answer this question: "As for which team to be selected, it's not something I can decide, so I don't think about it at all, just go with the flow." ”

"Many fans in China think that you will be the one who passed the ball for Yao Ming in 08, what is your attitude towards joining the national team?"

"My grandfather was a soldier and I grew up adoring him. It's cool for me to be able to play for my country. But... I have read the news of Wang Wang Zhizhi, and I don't want to be a person who is at the mercy of the left and right or even kidnapped by patriotism. If you can meet the relevant head of the sports department, please be sure to convey my thoughts to him. Zhou Zheng said very clearly.

"What exactly do you mean by being left and right, being manipulated, and being kidnapped by patriotism?" The reporter felt that this issue was very sensitive, so he wanted to seriously confirm it.

"I want to be free, I don't want to be interfered with too much. There were some meaningless games that I wouldn't play, like warm-up games or something. Being a professional footballer means that I have to be responsible for my condition, my fitness, and that's what my job is. Zhou Zheng paused here and continued: "I heard that Chinese players playing in the NBA still need to pay a part of their wages to the Basketball Association, which I will definitely not agree to. ”

After Zhou Zheng finished speaking, the reporter paused, and then said: "I agree with your statement, and I will help you convey it, but this part will definitely not be broadcast." ”

"It doesn't matter. Zhou Zheng smiled: "I just want my attitude to be known by the Basketball Association." I don't want to be promoted as an unpatriotic person by then. In fact, I am even more patriotic than many people who are officials and leaders. ”

"You're right, some officials in our country... Alas. The reporter shook his head helplessly, he agreed with Zhou Zheng's words.

After reaching this consensus, the following visits became more tacit.

Zhou Zheng knows almost everything, and he has no end to words.

Soon, the physical trainer came over to urge him to continue training, and he was not sloppy about training Zhou Zheng's attitude at all, he quickly said the end to the camera, and then went to train.

The reporter did not turn off the camera, but followed, and they planned to take a picture of Zhou Zheng's training.

When the CCTV reporter left the stadium with a full load of material, Stanford's next opponent was also released.

This opponent made Sani feel a little desperate, and the University of Kentucky, also from Illinois. But this time, they're coming to California to compete.

"Our luck is even worse than ****. Sani couldn't help but say something frustrating to Zhou Zheng during dinner with Zhou Zheng, although she still insisted that no matter who the opponent is, she can easily take out the opponent no matter who they are.

But when facing Zhou Zheng, she felt that she didn't need to pretend.

"If the goal is to win the championship, then it doesn't matter who the opponent is, the champion is the one who beats all the opponents. Zhou Zheng is very calm, he doesn't think Kentucky can beat Stanford this year. In the past two days, under the training of the Adidas team, he feels that his physical condition has improved a little.

Zhou Zheng said lightly, but Sani's mouth opened wide in shock, and she looked at Zhou Zheng incredulously: "Tiger, don't tell me that your goal is to win the championship?"

"yes, my goal is to win the championship. Zhou Zheng replied very seriously: "Since they have all come here, why don't you take off the crown?"

"But ......" Sani still feels unrealistic, the opponent in front is getting stronger and stronger, although Stanford's offensive system is unique in the NCAA, but in addition to Zhou Zheng, Carl Landri can handle it, although James White is physically strong, he is the kind of person who can't wait to pee when he goes to the toilet, and he can't be down-to-earth at all.

"Don't worry about it, there are always more solutions than problems. Zhou Zheng liked to see Sani frowning as he ate, so he ended the topic.

After the two finished eating the steak, Sani suddenly said that he invited Zhou Zheng to watch a movie, and Zhou Zheng looked at his watch and felt that it was still early, so they went together. He didn't feel anything wrong, even if Sani watched the movie and leaned on his shoulder, he felt that it was just because Sani was too tired.

After watching the movie, Zhou Zheng sent her home.

The next morning, Yang Xueli knocked on Zhou Zheng's door in a hurry.

"Hey, you hurry up and call the negotiation team of Adidas to me, I'm very busy, do you know?" Yang Xueli is now a strong woman.

Zhou Zheng rubbed his hazy sleepy eyes and got up, after washing, he dialed the phone, and then an hour later, the Adidas team appeared at Zhou Zheng's house.

The head of this negotiation is called Merkel, a German. He was the person in charge of the matter that Adidas sent from the headquarters.

He showed his sincerity from the beginning, and his sincerity was not to talk about money, but to bring the first signature shoe designed by the Adidas team for Zhou Zheng, and also made the most detailed training plan for Zhou Zheng.

However, for Barbara, it doesn't matter. It's the money that counts!

"I am very touched that you have put so much effort into Tiger, but I must stress that we have not yet reached a partnership. And the reason why we haven't reached a cooperation yet is that we haven't reached a mutually satisfactory answer on price. Yang Xueli said with a smile.

"Fifty million dollars for seven years, I don't think you have any reason to refuse this price. Merkel said confidently: "This is the price of a first-line star, even Kobe Bryant, the spokesperson of our contract termination last year, has never received such a big contract from Adidas." ”

Adidas terminated Kobe Bryant's contract with Bryant because of Kobe Bryant's Eagle County incident, and Bryant also joined the Nike camp.

This termination has hurt a lot for Adidas, who have admitted that they made the wrong choice, because they found that Kobe Bryant is still a very appealing star even if he does not have that incident. And their signing of Tracy Maddy is not a comprehensive replacement for Kobe Bryant.

Therefore, they want to fight a beautiful turnaround battle on Zhou Zheng. Zhou Zheng has been seen by them as a killer weapon against Nike's camp, even though he has yet to play a professional game.

"But... What I got here is that LeBron James signed a seven-year, 90 million contract with Nike, and Michael Jordan's contract with Nike is even more exciting, they are a partnership model, Jordan has his own original brand, and even now that he is retired, he can still earn more than 100 million dollars a year from Nike. Yang Xueli obviously did a lot of homework, and not so long ago, she couldn't even determine whether a basketball was round or oval.

"LeBron was already a genius in high school, and his games were even broadcast live across the United States. And Michael Jordan, he's the god of basketball......"

"Michael Jordan wasn't born to be a basketball god, I studied Michael's college resume, and he wasn't much better than Tiger today, and I mean overall. As for LeBron James, do you think he has a market of more than a billion people behind him? Although our tiger is not the so-called pride of the sky, it is the descendant of the real dragon!"

"So... We can try to communicate with our headquarters. Under the strength of Yang Xueli, Merkel was ready to make a fake call to the headquarters to ask for instructions, and then take out the preset price that she had set before.

However, Yang Xueli stretched out her hand and motioned for him to stop calling for instructions.

"I'll tell you my terms, and then you can ask your headquarters for instructions. Yang Xueli said seriously: "First, we will not sign a seven-year contract, we know where our value lies, and the longer the contract, the more unfavorable it is for us." Second, our cooperation method is not just as simple as endorsement, we need more voice. ”

"Huh?" Merkel propped her chin on her hands, interested in Yang Xueli's proposal.
