Numbers are also part of advertising, and under normal circumstances, Nike will not disclose the specific amount and content of the contract, but there are special circumstances, such as now. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

It was a sum of money that made everyone boil, and the moment Nike's press officer announced the number, the entire press conference hall was flooded with a burst of inhalation.

"Mr. Mark Shapiro, why did Nike sign Chang with such a crazy number? is it because of his strength? or because of the market behind him?"

When everyone was shocked and couldn't extricate themselves, a reporter was the first to react and preemptively ask questions.

'Of course it's his quality, Zhang is a really good player, he's already made an exciting change for the SuperSonics, and he's still very young, he's got a lot of potential, so we're very optimistic about his future and that's why we've signed him on this long-term contract. ”

Nike's spokesman Mark Shapiruo held the microphone in his hand and spoke to the reporter with a calm expression. It's all a lie to say that the strength is a lie, if it weren't for the domestic market, Chamberlain might not be able to get 50 million!

"So you think Chang is going to surpass James, right? As far as I know, you signed James for only $90 million. ”

Before other colleagues could react, the reporter immediately asked questions.

"It only took 90 million dollars" was said, and it seems that the reporter was still not very clear about the stimulated by Chamberlain's signing figures.

"No, I'm not a basketball critic, and I can't make an accurate judgment about the future of both of them, but there's no comparison between the timing of the two contracts, considering that James signed the contract when he was just drafted. ”

Both Chamberlain and James were very important to Nike, and Mark Shapi took the answer that no one should be offended.

"Zhang, Zhang, what do you think of this signing with Nike? Again, you haven't signed any contracts before, is it because the amount they gave you can't impress?"

The reporter wanted to ask again, but the other person finally reacted and preemptively asked his question first.

"Every player aspires to be the most important member of the team, and signing a contract with Nike today not only means that I have become a part of this famous company, but also that I will be promoting the product to athletes around the world on behalf of the company.

Yes, it's a great business, and having an admirable predecessor like Jordan is like choosing a team, and it's usually not a reason to go for a belly, because it's going to be a little bit closer to a championship.

The reason why I chose Nike is also based on this consideration, I think they are better suited to create a pair of shoes for me, and there is no other company more professional than them. ”

On the cusp of the limelight, Chamberlain knew that he would not have an easy time facing the media today, so he made a lot of preparations beforehand, and this problem was within the scope of his expectations.

"As far as we know, you don't have an agent, did you sign this contract?"

That's when another reporter stepped forward.

"No, it's a good friend of mine, I don't have that talent. ”

When answering this question, Chamberlain hesitated, whether he said Angelina's name at all.

"At the moment, Adidas' contract with McGrady is $10 million a year, Iverson of the 76ers can get $7 million a year from Reebok, and Kobe, O'Neal, Yao, they have a much lower contract than you, you have surpassed everyone in the NBA, do you think it's the same on the court?"

After Chamberlain answered the question, another journalist asked a more scathing question.

"Things in the world are inherently unfair, like I turned out to be an undrafted player, do you think I can only be an undrafted player?"

Chamberlain shrugged his shoulders self-deprecatingly, and asked rhetorically.

Chamberlain's rhetorical question left the reporter speechless and unsure of what to do.

However, because of this sentence, his peers triggered the inspiration to ask: "That is to say, do you still hate them? hate the managers of those teams?

"Number 12! I think I came to Seattle a little bit earlier, and I love it. ”

In '03, Seattle's draft spot was the No. 12 spot.

"Hello, Mr. Chamberlain, I'm Lin Mo, a journalist from China, congratulations on signing this huge contract, now do you have anything you want to say to the fans in China?"

Seeing that the questions raised by the ghost guys were getting more and more acerb, Lin Mo, a domestic reporter in the crowd, stood up decisively. The relatives are from their hometown, and the compatriots in China once again rescued Chamberlain.

"It's a great pleasure to see you again, Miss Lin, and thank you for your congratulations. To be able to sign such a contract today, I think I owe the most thanks to our compatriots, whose support has created such conditions for me. I will continue to work hard, play every game well, and repay their love with practical actions. ”

As soon as Lin Mo stood up, Chamberlain recognized that she was the reporter who was present when Chamberlain signed a contract with the Basketball Association, so he answered her question in Chinese.

"So what do you think about tomorrow's game? ”

Lin Mo then asked a question, but this time not in English, but in Chinese.

"It's going to be very exciting, I'm going to bring glory to my compatriots, so wait and see. ”

Chamberlain smiled lightly and gave this answer. Although this answer is not straightforward, the implication is very obvious.

These questions were also asked by the American media, but every time Chamberlain would be vague and never give accurate answers, but in the face of his own compatriots, Chamberlain did not give ambiguous answers.

"100 million yuan sky-high contract, super Zhang signed Nike!"
