The episode of this day passed quickly, and Tang Qian also returned to the right track of life. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

This week's NBA Player of the Year is out, and the East is Kyrie. Irving, who had a 26.7 points, 9.1 assists and 4.0 rebounds this week, is a 3-1 team record. What about the western candidates? There is no doubt that it was obtained by Tang Qian, and other statistics are easy to say, averaging 41.4 rebounds per game this week, a total of 207 rebounds, and the team's record is to win all 5 games, which is a hard data that no one can compete. And 207 rebounds in five games, an average of 41.4 rebounds per game in a week, are also written in the NBA's league history.

NBA Weekly Awards, the highest winner, Tang Qian remembers to be the future Zhan Huang, who seems to have as many as 50+ times, with his high school capital and ten years of stable performance, he may be able to reach a terrifying 60+ times before retiring. This record is absolutely unprecedented, and there is no one to come. Because the NBA no longer allows high school students to land directly in the league, so in terms of age, this disadvantage is too obvious, and there are very few possibilities for future generations to break Zhan Huang's weekly best record.

What? How many times do you ask God Joe?

This, in fact, Qiao Shen's weekly best times are not many, and he has only won 25 times in 15 years.

Why so little, you ask?

This is also due to epochal and historical reasons, because the NBA Weekly Awards were given before the 2001-2002 season, regardless of whether they were Eastern or Western. This means that the NBA Weekly Weekly Awards prior to the 2001-2002 season were the weekly weekly awards for the entire league, not the current Western Weekly Weekly Awards and Eastern Conference Weekly Awards. In this way, this record of God Qiao is quite terrifying. If that era was divided into East and West weeks, with Jordan's status in the league and personal data, doubling would be the least. Even if it weren't for aesthetic fatigue, it would not be impossible for him to brush up on 70+.

Although it seems that the players before 2001-2002 suffered a loss, there is no doubt about the gold content of the best week at that time.

The best of the week in the East and the best of the week in the West are far inferior to the best of the league week.

However, this is also the first time that Tang Qian has won this award, and it can be regarded as a rhythm that his career is getting more and more on track.

And compared to last season's Rookie of the Month, this award is undoubtedly heavier.

Because of this award, Tang Qian once again gained the right to "open the box".

Choose one of two bronze chests.

One of the two? Isn't it one of three? How did it become a choice between two or the other? Is this a system vulnerability in "different space"?

Tang Qian looked at the two bronze boxes in front of him, and said a little stunned.

But soon, he guessed the crux of the problem, and it was estimated that according to the difficulty of winning the award, the level of opening the box and the difficulty of opening the box were given. In other words, the "Different Space" judgment of this NBA weekly award is more valuable or difficult to obtain than the Rookie of the Month award. So three bronze chests become two.

This also gives you a probability of getting an item from 1 in 3 to 1 in 2.

It seems that for the "different space", my own understanding and exploration is far from enough.

Tang said attentively.

As for how to open the box, Tang Qian had already thought about it, closed his eyes, and it was all up to luck.

In this way, one is decisive and will not hesitate, and the second will be correspondingly much less rewarding and losing.

Okay, come on!

Tang Qian closed his eyes and touched a bronze box, and when he opened his eyes, he suddenly said with joy on his face: "Sure enough, my brother's luck is not bad~hehe~"

"Huh? Wait a minute? Straight out of a full ability card? Not a fragment? Does this mean ......"

"If you open the box, you can get the full ability card at once?"

"Uh-huh, very likely! It looks like this 'different space', and I have to 'dig deeper' when I have time~"

……

"It's a sneaker manufacturer's contract, and you can take a look at it on your computer right now." On the other end of the phone was Zhou Zhiru's serious voice.

"Okay, I'll take a look." Tang Qian opened his email to check, and the first thing that caught his eye was the Reebok brand, with an offer of $5 million for 2 years. Reebok is an old brand in the UK, but its offer and sincerity made Tang Qian frown. $5 million in 2 years? If I had made a crazy price a week ago, it would have been fine, but now, it would be too cheap.

Not to mention that compared with James' first Nike contract, 7 years and 90 million US dollars, even some second-tier players get much more money than this. If you want to use a third-rate player's contract to trap yourself, that's too beautiful.

There is nothing to say, this contract was passed directly.

The next is Puma, also known as Puma, which is a German sports brand company, and the former NBA spokesperson is the famous "UFO" Vince. Carter. The price they offer is relatively high, $15 million for 2 years, which is quite sincere in the current market. However, Tang Qian lacked interest in this company, because Carter unilaterally terminated the contract with Puma that year, on the grounds that the design of the sneakers was not suitable and scientific, and it was easy to get injured on the playing field. And he would rather bear the penalty of $15 million than cut off Puma, which can be seen. Therefore, Tang Qian is absolutely unwilling to choose this company.

The third is the offer of New Balance in the United States, 20 million for 3 years, which should be here to test the waters, because it was noted in the email sent by Zhou Zhiru that there is no such sports company in the NBA. Maybe signing yourself is just to open up the basketball market.

The fourth is from Japan's Esics, which has nothing to say and will not be considered directly.

The fifth is from Converse, with a price of 12 million for 3 years, plus 1% ~ 3% of the total sales of sneakers. Converse is an old brand in the United States, and even in the NBA for a long time, Converse was the hegemon of the basketball shoe industry. The 1991 Converse is still the NBA's official game shoe. But unfortunately, due to the company's poor vision in the later stage and its repeated failure to seize the opportunities of the times, it finally went bankrupt in 2001. Ironically, it was none other than Nike who bought Converse. The so-called back waves of the Yangtze River push the front waves, this sentence is very appropriate here.

So now, Converse is already a branch brand under Nike.

Zhou Zhiru noted next to this contract that this is a test move by Nike, if Tang Qian performs well, he will sign directly into Nike in the future, and if he does not perform well, he will always be a subordinate of Converse.

Nike? Actually signed me with a brand? Or Converse? You're going to have to at least use Jordan shoes, right?

Tang Qian felt a little disappointed, after all, his original Italian affiliation was the Nike brand, because the post-80s and 90s generation have a soft spot for this sports brand and have special feelings.

It is said that you Nike has vision and is willing to spend money, Jordan, Kobe, James, the league's signature players, are all your people, why can't you see me? Tang Qian was a little unhappy, because Nike's move made him very sullen.

The last one is that the endorsement contract is from AND1.

This is a non-mainstream sports brand that is not well-known in China, but is very popular in the United States.

Of course, this non-mainstream is not the non-mainstream as understood in China, but the literal meaning, not the mainstream.

In fact, it is almost impossible to see it in official basketball games, but on the streets, it is unique. It can even be said that its status on the street is far greater than that of Nike and Adi. In addition, its founder is very young, and he is only about 40 years old now. In the face of monsters like Converse, Nike, and Adi, which have been around for fifty or sixty years or even hundreds of years, AND1, which was founded in 1993, is indeed no different from a little ant.

But more than 10 years ago, it was also a trendy brand for a time, but later due to the lack of business philosophy and innovation, this brand was almost extinct in the East. In the United States, its life is not easy, and as the influence of professional basketball grows, AND1, which implements a street strategy, feels more and more "forced. lattice". By 2012 and 2013, it had gone through many "remarriages" and "remarriages", and the original batch of backbone personnel did not survive one in ten.

So now AND1 is affiliated with Galaxy.Brands, that is, the Galaxy brand, but recently the Galaxy brand company has not had a good time, and has been frequently caught in the acquisition turmoil. AND1, which lives under its banner, is naturally inevitably stormy. At present, the three original founders of AND1 have only the youngest Seth left. Berger, like Tom. Austin and Jay. Gilbert has already sold his AND1 stake early and left the AND1 sports brand. Of the three, Seth was the only one. Berger is reluctant to create this brand by himself, so he is still struggling to hold on. But to be honest, he is also a normal person, and he also needs a life and career, and if there is no improvement in AND1, he really has to give up painfully.

And the re-signing of NBA players is Seth. Berger's first step, although this business strategy was unanimously opposed by AND1 executives, said that AND1 should focus on the streets, and that distraction was an extremely stupid strategic approach. But Seth, who is about to turn 40 years old. Berger still withstood the pressure and was "dictatorial".

The conditions given are also bordering on madness.

$25 million plus ...... for 2 years 10% profit dividend on global sneaker sales???!!!

This cost is already the top level in the modern basketball world, and you must know that Jordan's dividend ratio in Nike is only 4%~5%. For example, next year, in 2013, the total sales of Jordan shoes in the United States will be as high as 2.25 billion US dollars, which is still calculated according to net profits, so Jordan can share the total profit of around 80 million US dollars. And do you know what the total basketball shoes market in the United States is? In 2013, it was about 4 billion US dollars, which means that the market share of Jordan shoes in the United States exceeded 50%. To make a simple analogy, every player in the United States sells 2 pairs of basketball shoes, and Jordan shoes are one of them.

Terrifying!

And Nike's dividends to Jordan are "only" dividends in the US market, but what about AND1? However, it directly gave dividends to the global market. Although the net profit sales of the two are far from the same level at all, AND1's determination is also beyond Tang Qian's expectations. But for this brand, to be honest, he is not too cold, because AND1 is too small in terms of technology and market, and it can't even match the dime of Nike and Adi. And according to Zhou Zhiru's note, this company is now on the verge of collapse, and it seems that it is not cost-effective to put yourself in it for the sake of immediate interests.

Because of the hunger of painting cakes, any company, especially this kind of enterprise that is on the verge of collapse, can ignore it in order to grasp the last straw. After thinking about it for a long time, Tang Qian called Zhou Zhiru again and said, "Is that all?" Didn't Nike and Adi send their contracts? "Not really." Zhou Zhiru quickly replied: "Because the matter of your ban in the Chinese market is now well known, and without the potential support of the Greater China region, Nike and Adi will not choose to take risks." After speaking, Zhou Zhiru added: "At least for now, they will definitely not take action." ”

"Really?" After Tang Qian thought about it, he asked Zhou Zhiru, "Then as an agent, do you have any good opinions?" ”

"You can choose to wait for the time being, anyway, even if you sign now and launch your exclusive basketball shoes, it will be next season, so you still have enough time to think about it." Zhou Zhiru said: "Of course, improving your performance on the court is the most important thing, if you have a few more performances like last week, then I'm sure even if you don't have the Greater China market, Nike and Adi will not be able to help it." "You said it lightly, that kind of performance, I think I'm dreaming, okay?" Tang Qian replied with a wry smile.

"Really? Then you can cheer yourself, and I will help you draw up a schedule for the shooting time of the advertisement. ”

"Advertising? Oh, I almost forgot about it, so I'm sorry for you. Tang Qian said.

"It's okay, it's something I'm supposed to do." Zhou Zhiru still said in a businesslike manner: "I'll hang up first if there's nothing else, goodbye." After saying that, there was no sound on the other end of the phone.

"This Zhou Zhiru, is it necessary to change so much? I almost forgot what she was like back home. Tang Qian shook his head and put down his mobile phone.

Two days later, on December 25, 2012, the annual Christmas in the West arrived.

After several days of rest, the physical condition of all the members of the Lakers team has recovered a lot, at least Tang Qian himself, he feels a lot more relieved physically. However, he didn't fully rest, because according to D'Antoni, he needs to practice with Nash for two hours a day. The main thing to practice together is to block and dismantle, and the upper position and upper line are lifted and dismantled.

Originally, this thing was supposed to be practiced hard by Howard, but I don't know why, this "happy beast" has always been superstitious that he is a low-level killer, so he has always had a mediocre attitude towards lifting up to do blocking and dismantling, and he feels that every practice is an attitude of coping with things.

This makes Mike. D'Antoni and Steve. Nash, all secretly frowned, after all, if you want to play a good "run-and-bomb tactic", the online blocking and dismantling of inside players is an indispensable part, and it is also the most urgent positional battle method to be solved after Nash controls the ball. However, "Warcraft" is reluctant to disobey the yang and the yin every time, which makes Mike. Neither D'Antoni's tactics nor the organisational skills of the "Sons of the Wind" were able to exert maximum effect.

As for why not Paul. Gasol? First, because Gasol is old, he frequently comes out to do high-post blocking and dismantling with defenders, which is a huge drain on physical fitness and defense. Secondly, Gasol's athleticism is poor, although he has a certain amount of open mid-distance ability, but this is very important in Mike. D'Antoni's tactical system is not the most important part. Steve. Nash also needs to be paired with athletic interior players to maximize the energy of the No. 1 position.

Why is he in the Mavericks, obviously at the peak of his athletes, but he always can't play his full strength? On the contrary, when I got older, I went to the sun and became otherworldly? There are many other complicated reasons for this, but Steve. It is also an indisputable fact that Nash's organizational style and style of play are more suitable for athletic interior players. Otherwise who would dare to say Amare . Stoudemire is more bullish and hanger than the "German tank" Nowitzki?

Ming Dwight. Howard and Steve. Nash is a good match, and if he is willing to give up his "low post big killer" style of play, he can even continue to score and defend efficiently while reducing the risk of injury. But at this time, the former's head is such an "axis", and he would rather go to the low post and lose face than become the core of the team that "exists in name only" like the Magic period.

In this case, Steve. Nash and Mike. D'Antoni can only choose the second pick from within the Lakers. Tang Qian's performance during this period of time was eye-catching, and his style of play was tough and positive, and at the same time, his playing style was extremely selfless and did not occupy the ball very much, so naturally, he became the first choice in the hearts of the two.

The development of history is sometimes just such a "coincidence", a small opportunity is enough to change the entire future world.

PS: In order to improve the score a little, Xiaozi decided to modify the time of the outbreak, and try to put one chapter in the day or at 7~8 o'clock in the evening, and then the remaining chapter remains the same, or the old time. In this way, if it breaks out, the effect may be better.

The big chapter is sent ~ broke out today ~ the same 10,000 words, don't miss it~~~ (to be continued.) )
