The Bulls were full of holes on the defensive end, and the game didn't make any waves. The Warriors are on a five-game winning streak 111-93.

Zhou Xuan played 33 minutes, 7 points, 2 rebounds, 14 assists and 1 steal, Randolph scored another double-double, 24 points and 12 rebounds, and Biedrins also scored 14 points and 16 rebounds.

Derrick on the Bulls side? Rose's stats are beautiful, with 25 points, 4 rebounds and 3 assists, but he doesn't look like a point guard at all.

Zhou Xuan is already a recognized outlier in the league, averaging 10 per game. 3 points 2. 1 rebound 11. 4 assists and 1 steal. With more assists than points, you won't find such a pure point guard again. He's now outnumbering Chris? Paul averaged 11 per game. No. 1 3 times, Delong? Williams 10. 6 assists for the third, no one has an assist double-double.

Originally, the Warriors coaching staff only wanted Zhou Xuan to become Calderon, but his assist count left several superstars behind.

After this game, Zhou Xuan is still the focus. Although he did not have a high score, the number of assists was amazing, and many media originally said that he was Nash's second, but found that Nash did not have as many assists as him, so he could only be "Chinese Stockton".

Interestingly, Zhou Xuan publicly stated at the press conference that his idol is Nash and wants to be a player like him. But now Steve? Nash averaged just 7 per game. 7 assists. I wonder if Nash will find this ironic.

In previous seasons, it was common for Nash to reach 10+ assists, but since the start of this season, he has dropped this statistic significantly, with only three assists in double figures. In the same Pacific Division as the Warriors, the Suns' record is not optimistic.

Experts believe that Nash's aging and declining level can be ruled out. Nash is as good as ever, he still runs all over the court, and his timing and strength are excellent. In addition, his scoring ability has not declined, he can still burst into cold arrows on the perimeter, and the breakthrough is also very sharp.

Actually, it's dictated by the Suns' style of play, and since D'Antoni left the team, Terry? After Porter took over the team's coaching, the Suns moved from small-ball running to big-ball offense. The team has to play half-court offense and defense one by one, so that the speed is reduced, the fast break is greatly reduced, the fast break has fewer opportunities, and Nash's ability to find opportunities in the fast attack is limited, and the number of natural assists drops.

Not only Nash, but Stoudemire's stats have also dropped dramatically. Last season, he played 25 minutes in 34 minutes. 2 points 9. 1 rebound, 1. 5 assists 2. 1 cap. This year, he played nearly 37 minutes, but only had 21 points, 8 rebounds and 1. 6 assists 1. 1 cap.

The current 6-5 Suns have already caused dissatisfaction among fans. Maybe they should think about whether or not to continue to arrange tactics for O'Neal "The Big Shark". Although O'Neal's low success rate is high, it has changed the familiar system of the whole team, and the effect is not good. Experts say that if there is a traditional powerhouse in the West who can't make the playoffs, it is likely to be the Suns.

The next day, Mitchell? Butler took a middle-aged white man to Oakland and asked Zhou Xuan to meet at a café near the arena.

Now the contracts for sneakers and endorsement products are randomly selected in front of Zhou Xuan, Mitchell's phone is about to be blown up, and this time of course he came to finalize a big contract.

"Hello, Mr. Zhou, I'm Brian, the regional manager of Nike? Bogley, I'm here to talk to you today about the signing of sneaker endorsements. ”

"Okay." This matter was handed over to Mitchell to deal with, and Zhou Xuan had been waiting for Nike to come to the door.

Bogley is more than 1.7 meters tall, very thin, half bald in hair, but his eyes are very sharp, and he is very shrewd at first glance. He took a copy of the contract and handed it to Zhou Xuan, and said with a smile: "This is the details of the contract, please take a look." I'm sure you know our brand, and I won't tell you much about the company. ”

Brian exudes extraordinary self-confidence during the conversation, and he is very proud to be a member of Nike.

Nike is also indeed wealthy, and there are countless big names in the sports world who endorse it. Football has Cristiano Ronaldo, Andres Iniesta, Sneijder, Torres, Wayne Rooney, Ibrahimovic, Cesc Fabregas, etc. Football teams include Brazil, Juventus, Manchester United, Barcelona, Inter, France, etc. The three major leagues of the Premier League, La Liga and Serie A, the official balls are also sponsored by Nike. Basketball is more famous Jordan, Kobe, James, Wade, Boos, Durant, Pierce, Nowitzki, Paul, Delon, Anthony, etc., and almost all of the most active people in the league have signed Nike. Just looking at the stars, you know that over the years, Nike has been beating Adidas and firmly sitting as the world's No. 1 sports brand.

Zhou Xuan quickly finished reading the contract, his heart beat wildly a few times, but his face was silent, he looked at Mitchell, and said lightly: "Mitchell, how do you feel?" ”

"I think it's good." Mitchell smiled.

Mitchell is a professional broker who studied with Fagan. Zhou Xuan didn't know how he bargained with people, the original plan was a 3-year contract of 12 million, but now it has become 3 years and 20 million, of which 8 million yuan is a bonus, as long as Zhou Xuan can be successfully selected for an All-Star Game in three years and win the best rookie of the year, he will receive the full bonus, and he can get 4 million if he reaches one of them. If Chinese fans vote, can't they be selected as an All-Star once in three years? Signing this contract will give you at least $16 million.

Brian smiled: "We have expressed the greatest sincerity, Yi Jianlian also signed a two-year five-million endorsement contract with Nike." I'm sure there's no better contract than this. ”

Nike has its own basketball expert to analyze Zhou Xuan's potential, he is just 19 years old, he can deliver double-digit assists in his rookie season, and his passing awareness is amazing. Nike executives believe he has the potential to become the NBA's second Nash-style player and must be the first to strike.

Although you can't deliver a wonderful dunk without physical fitness, this type of player can have a long career, and Zhou Xuan, as the first Chinese guard to gain a foothold in the NBA, has a huge influence in the East. Nike concluded that Zhou Xuan is much more promising than Yi Jianlian, because there are countless young players, basketball lovers are as high as Zhou Xuan, and the quality is about the same, how many people of Yi Jianlian's quality can there be in China?

This is the biggest offer they can give, far more than Adidas.

Of course, Zhou Xuan's contract can't be compared with last year's Durant. Durant, who was still a rookie, signed Nike without playing a game on a seven-year contract worth up to $60 million, including $10 million in prize money, which was the second-highest rookie shoe contract in NBA history. At the top of the list is LeBron in 2003? James signed a seven-year, $90 million contract.

The reason why these two talented stars were able to get such lucrative contracts in the first year is because they are so famous in college, they are also very physical, and they are very talented, as long as they are not seriously injured, they will definitely become stars. Nike also has to look at Zhou Xuan, if he becomes an All-Star within three years, Nike earns it, and is willing to sign a bigger contract with him. Yao Ming is not young, and Zhou Xuan is likely to be the representative of Chinese basketball in the future. In the unlikely event that his stats drop after three years, Nike could have chosen not to renew his contract.

There was no objection from both sides, and Zhou Xuan signed a contract, as long as he played a certain number of games per season, he could get the money, and Nike would also design sneakers according to his style.

Seeing off Brian, Mitchell and Zhou Xuan went back to the apartment.

Mitchell sat on the couch and laughed: "Your apartment is too small, at your current value, you should buy a big house, if you are sure to stay in Auckland for most of your career." ”

'Now the team is doing well and of course I want to stay.' Zhou Xuan brought him a bottle of Sydney juice from the refrigerator, which they often drink in Los Angeles.

Mitchell unscrewed the cap of the bottle, took a sip and said lightly: "The Warriors are good, but they still can't compare to New York and Los Angeles." If you want to become a legend of Chinese basketball, I suggest you go to those two cities. Back then, the Lakers also wanted Yao Ming, but unfortunately he had no way to get over. ”

Zhou Xuan said. At that time, there were many people in China who wanted Yao Ming to transfer to the Lakers, thinking that as long as they did not renew his contract with the Rockets, they could go to the Lakers freely.

In fact, the discussion of this issue is based on a misunderstanding, that is, the 3+1 rookie contract expires, and many people think that Yao Ming has become a complete free agent and can sign with any team at will, but it is not. According to the new rules of the NBA, since Yao Ming is a first-round draft player, Yao Ming will become a restricted free agent after executing a 3+1 contract.

Restricted free agent means that when a team wants to sign a restricted free agent with another team, they need to first offer an invitation contract, and once the player accepts, his parent team has 15 days to match the offer contract, i.e. propose a contract for the same amount. This invitation contract must be at least three years. If the player's parent team enforces the priority and matches the main terms of the contract, the player is signed with the parent team under this contract and is no longer a free agent. If the parent team does not exercise the right of first refusal within 15 days, the contract becomes the player's official contract with the new team, and he is no longer a free agent.

Now the situation in the NBA has changed to prevent O'Neal from leaving the Magic to go to the Lakers. There was no clause restricting free agents at the time, so the big sharks go, the Magic didn't have anything to do, they didn't get anything. And as long as the Rockets don't want Yao Ming to go, then they can enforce the priority, and the other teams have no chance at all. And even if the Rockets don't want Yao Ming anymore, they will definitely sign Yao Ming first and then replace him, and they won't let Yao Ming go in vain. It is completely impossible to go to the Lakers freely, and the Lakers want to exchange for Yao Ming, unless they exchange Kobe Bryant.

Zhou Xuan smiled: "If you start from the beginning to the end in a team, you can also leave a good story, right?" As long as I have fun here, I am willing to fight for the warriors for the rest of my life, and don't persuade me to maximize my interests. ”

He would not be faced with a choice until three years later, but now he has the answer in his heart. He didn't want to go to the New York Knicks, Randolph felt that it was too chaotic there, and it was uncomfortable to go to the Clippers, and if he went to the Lakers, he could only give Kobe Bryant, so it was better to stay with the Warriors.
