The game is a week later, and the fans can only hold back their anticipation first.

However, compared to the fans, the first thing that can't stand it is the sneaker brand company.

Walker's sneaker endorsement contract was signed after the draft, and he signed a four-year 10 million contract with UA.

Tang Tian has not received an offer for sneakers here, he is a second-round show, and he has not played a game yet, which is also expected.

However, he has been popular recently, and the sneaker brand company naturally can't sit still, and they have begun to open quotations one after another.

Tang Tian was not in a hurry, let Fagan talk first, the principle is basically one, the number of years should be kept as low as possible, and the amount should be raised as much as possible.

The sneaker contract, aside from the inside line and not selling shoes, is not about strength, but about popularity.

is also a champion and also a guard, Wall's contract when he was a rookie was 5 years and 25 million, but Rose was only 1 million a year, because Wall's popularity when he entered the league was much higher than when Rose first entered the league.

As long as Tang Tian puts his popularity into account and the Asian market behind him, the contract amount may even exceed that of most first-round picks.

Fagan was still talking about it, and Tang Tian was not in a hurry.

A week later, he appeared on the scene of the Drew League with Walker and Thompson.

In the second meeting between the two sides, James did not stay at the beginning, and finally hit the super data of 40 points, 7 rebounds and 10 assists.

However, Tang Tian did not match James this time, and the physical strength saved on the defensive end scored 21 points in the tacit cooperation with Walker, and his performance as a second-round show also amazed the audience again.

Carl is quite powerful, editing the three points together to make a small video, Tang Tian in the video seems to give people a feeling of Reggie Miller II.

After the video was posted, it detonated social media again and received nearly 2 million likes.

I don't know when the new season will start, but Tang Tian has become the first rookie to become popular.

James stopped playing after playing a Drew League, but Tang Tian's game continued.

As a traverser, Tang Tian knew very well that James' joining the Drew League was just the beginning, and then the addition of Kobe and Harden was the real climax.

"There has been a breakthrough in the negotiation of the sneaker contract." At this time, Fagan also came to Los Angeles and brought good news to Tang Tian.

"There are now two companies that are willing to offer endorsement contracts of more than a million, and both have agreed to two-year contracts."

Tang Tian's practice of accumulating popularity, coupled with Fagan's ability, the second-round show million endorsement contract has directly turned from a dream into a reality!

"Which two?" Tang Tian asked.

"Nike, and Peak."

"Peak?" Tang Tian asked suspiciously.

Since Nike missed Yao Ming, it has invested a lot in Chinese players, and it is not surprising to make a million offer, but Peak?

But it's normal to think about it, in recent years, Peak has relied on playing the Rocket card to sign a number of players such as Scola, Landry, Lowry, etc., but these are all role players, and none of them can really make them brand influence.

Tang Tian is Chinese, and it is a new attempt for them.

"Yes, both companies are providing cash contracts with the same amount, 2.6 million for 2 years." Fagan nodded, and by the way, he also gave Tang Tian a description of the classification of endorsement contracts.

There are three tiers of endorsement contracts for sneakers.

The first tier is the signed sneaker contract. With the brand's signature sneakers and the brand's ambassador, there are only seven people in the league now: Nike's James, Kobe Bryant and Durant; A.J.'s Paul and Anthony; Adidas' Ross and Reebok's Iverson.

The price of these people's endorsement contracts varies, but each one is sky-high.

The second tranche is a cash contract. This is also the contract that the vast majority of players in the league have, take the lotto show as an example, the current market is generally signed for 3~4 years, and the annual salary is generally between 20~700,000, of course, there are exceptions, Nike to Irving is 30 million for 4 years, and UA is also 10 million for 4 years.

As for the third tranche, it is purely a commodity contract. This is the lowest level, which is basically equivalent to the sneaker company providing shoes to the players for them to play, and the value of the shoes is generally between 5000~10000 US dollars, and there will be no cash.

After Fagan finished speaking, Tang Tian basically knew in his heart that what he got was the second gear.

"My personal suggestion is that it is better to choose Peak, of course, the final decision is in your own hands." Without waiting for Tang Tian to speak, Fagan took the initiative to propose.

Fagan's move was a bit abnormal, and Tang Tian looked at him with some confusion.

"Peak is a brand in your country, and the Chinese market is also very promising, if the cooperation is good, maybe we will be able to have signature sneakers in the future." Fagan explained.

Tang Tian nodded, Fei Gen was right.

Among China's basketball players going abroad, only Yao Ming and Yi Jianlian are popular players, but both are big men, and big shoes are generally not sold.

He's now losing weight and playing as a swingman, which is really meaningful in the Asian market of sneakers, and owning a signed sneaker is a matter of course.

"Sign Nike." However, after careful consideration, Tang Tian still gave himself a choice.

"Why?" Fagan looked at him in surprise.

"Nike will have signature sneakers, too." Tang Tian replied calmly.

"No, Tang, this is different, Nike's competition is too great, and if Peak develops in the future, he will give no less money." Fagan persuaded.

"No, I've already made a decision." Tang Tian opened his mouth and said, he had his own thoughts.

Nike is better than Peak in that it is an international company, and it will do better in terms of promotion, of course, the more important point is money, maybe the first and second contracts Peak can give Nike a similar contract, but when it comes to the real hundreds of millions of contracts, they can't give it.

This is also the reason why most of the league's superstars choose big companies like Nike and Adidas.

In this regard, he doesn't need to go against the current, what he wants is to make more money and get more kryptonite.

"Don't think about it anymore? I talked to the people at Peak and knew that they invested a lot in research......"

"I know." Tang Tian interrupted Fagan's words, the latter's initiative today was too abnormal.

"Dan, our domestic businessmen have a bad habit, they like to give gifts when talking about business, give money or something, they shouldn't have used this trick on you, right?" Tang Tian asked.

"No, no, I just said it, I'm just giving advice, it's up to you how to choose." Fagan said immediately.

"Well, that's good, let's go with Nike." Tang Tian said with a smile.

He had just asked Fagan like that, and if he were an ordinary American, he would have jumped up and said, "Why do you doubt me?" You are trampling on my personality", you must know that Americans are quite sensitive to this part.

But Fagan didn't, which means that he guessed most of them.

Fagan is still greedy for money.

But he didn't say anything, he still used Fagan's ability, anyway, it was ultimately him who made the decision on these things.
