After beating the Charlotte Bobcats, the Bucks will sit in Salt Lake City and challenge the Utah Jazz!

If you want to talk about which team's home court in the league is the most terrible, the Jazz should be in the top three, in addition to the Jazz fans are more crazy, Salt Lake City due to the high altitude, many players will feel uncomfortable when they come to the Jazz to play!

At noon before the start of this game, Li Tuanjie also received a call from the signing part of Nike.

Nike gave Li Tuanjie an endorsement contract of $40 million for five years, and if Li Tuanjie thinks it is appropriate, he can sign it at any time!

It's just that Li Tuanjie didn't agree, at present, Li Tuanjie is no longer Wuxia Amon, and he is clear about some things in the NBA!

The five-year contract of 40 million US dollars does seem to be a lot, you must know that Li Tuanjie's current player contract is only about 1 million US dollars, once Li Tuanjie signs this contract, he will definitely be able to double his value and become a rich-level figure!

But Li Tuanjie also knows that this contract offer is only a preliminary offer from Nike's side, and there must be room for negotiation, and Li Tuanjie is not very satisfied with this contract!

You must know that Li Tuanjie's current rookie data is not too much to say that it is unprecedented, with an average of 25 points, 10 rebounds and 7 assists per game, and no rookie in NBA history can play this kind of magical data in his rookie season!

LeBron James has always been known as the pride of the sky, and his rookie statistics are only 20 points, 5 rebounds and 5 assists, and the shooting rate is only 41 percent, and the three-point shooting rate is only 29 percent, which is completely incomparable with Li Tuanjie!

However, James's sneaker contract is as high as 93 million for 7 years, which is 40 million for five years and 40 million for Li Tuanjie!

The data is better than James, but the sneaker contract is far inferior to James, so it's no wonder that Li Tuanjie can be happy in his heart!

In fact, this is not to blame Nike, the main thing is that they are still not very worried about the length of Li Tuanjie's career, such as Yao Ming, although he is now the top center in the league, but he continues to suffer from injuries, this season is his fifth season in the league, but his body is like a veteran who has played ten seasons.

Nike is also afraid that after signing a long-term contract with Li Tuanjie, Li Tuanjie's body will also be like Yao Ming, often suffering from injuries, resulting in a very short career, in that case, Nike will definitely lose money!

The second reason is that Nike's goal of signing Li Tuanjie is only to develop the Chinese market, not the global market, and it is normal for the contract amount to be inferior to James!

……

Li Tuanjie was noncommittal about the offer given by Nike, and the other party must have known in his heart that Li Tuanjie was not satisfied with this contract, and they told Li Tuanjie that they would re-study a new offer, and then come to discuss with Li Tuanjie!

……

In the Jazz's energy plan arena, the Bucks will gather in the visiting team's locker room to listen to head coach Stotts' final pre-game arrangement!

"Guys, although the Jazz didn't make the playoffs in the West last season, we can't underestimate them, their record this season is very dazzling, the lineup is very strong due to Boozer's return, even the Mavericks have suffered under their hands, we must not be careless!" Stotts had a solemn face, and the strength of the Jazz put a lot of pressure on him!

The victory over the Bobcats was not unexpected by Stotts, after all, the strength of the Bobcats is there, and it is not a big deal for the Bucks to win.

But the Utah Jazz are different, their lineup is extremely complete, and the starting lineup is frighteningly tall, and the defensive ability is not inferior to the Spurs!

The biggest reason why the Jazz did not make the playoffs last season was Boozer's season reimbursement, he only played 30 games last season, and Boozer, who has remained healthy this season, has a full lineup and is very competitive in the powerful West!

When it comes to Boozer, fans may have the impression that Yao Ming is often exploding...... As for Boozer's nickname, it is relatively unknown.

"Rebel Knight" is Boozer's nickname!

When it comes to the origin of this nickname, we have to talk about the Cavaliers, in the 03-04 season, after the Cavaliers got LeBron James, Boozer was also in the lineup, and the entire league was very optimistic about this powerful combination, and Boozer himself also stated that he would stay with the Cavaliers and renew his contract with the Cavaliers!

But in the face of the high-priced contract offered by the Utah Jazz, Boozer reneged on his promise and switched to Salt Lake City, which did not hurt Boozer, and when he left the Cavaliers, many fans burned his jersey to vent their anger......

It can be said that the knights seem to have had such a tradition for a long time......

As for why Boozer left the Cavaliers in the first place, there are many reasons, and it does not necessarily mean that Boozer was attracted by the Jazz's high-priced contract!

In the 03 season, that is, the season when James entered the Cavaliers, Boozer averaged 16 points and 11.4 rebounds per game, which is definitely the level of the league's first-class interior line, you must know that this is only the data played by Boozer in the second season of his career!

And the Cavaliers are indifferent to Boozer's stats, LeBron James is still their absolute core, and Boozer doesn't get many opportunities on the offensive end!

In addition to giving Boozer a higher contract, the Jazz also promised to make Boozer the core of the Jazz, which is simply too tempting for a second-year rookie, and no one can resist this temptation.

With money and status, Boozer's choice is actually completely understandable!

After arriving at the Jazz, Boozer's data has risen a lot, and the Jazz record is not bad, according to the trend of normal history, the number of wins in the West led by Boozer this season is even more than the number of wins James has achieved in the East!

With the referee's whistle, this matchup between the eastern and western teams officially began!

After Li Tuanjie appeared on the stage, he almost didn't lose his jaw when he saw the Jazz's starting lineup, but the height of the Jazz's starting lineup was too scary!

Seven-foot-long center forwards Memet Oku, Carlos Boozer and Kirilenko are also two meters and six tall figures, while Deron Williams and Fisher in the backfield are quite normal......

Later generations of fans must be confused when they see the Jazz's starting lineup, except for Oku, who must be playing center, the positions of the other four players are completely stupid......

Aren't Boozer and Kirilenko both big forwards? Even Boozer often plays the center position, who plays the big forward and who plays the small forward between these two people!

And Deron Williams and Fisher Fisher, aren't these two both point guards? Why are they on the stage together, who is the point guard and who is the point guard......
