Ji Guoyan's eyes lit up when he heard this, since the beginning of the regular season, he has always eaten technical fouls or malicious fouls, if you add pickling girls, buying a car, renting a house...... These are very expensive projects, he bought a car with his little salary, rented a house and had little left, and he couldn't afford to pay the fine without any other income.

"Dear Brian, don't gasp for breath and tell us, what is the contract?"

"Speaking of which, these two contracts are thanks to the 'brawl of the century' that you made the other day, maybe you don't know what that means? To put it simply, as the protagonists of it, you have followed this brawl all over the world! Honestly, I think this brawl will have a bigger effect than what you can do with a triple-double or break the LBJ record. ”

Both of them didn't look good, and Brian's excited voice continued to come from the phone: "Brother Fox, Aston Martin has offered you a three-year, $6 million endorsement contract, and they promise to provide you with three of their sports cars for free during the contract period, I think you will like this." ”

When Ji Guoyi heard the news, he was really overjoyed, he had long coveted the luxury sports cars of Artest and others, and even Taylor Swift recently changed to a Mercedes-Benz SL500, which made him very faceless. But his salary can't be like those guys, he has at least three or five taels of sports cars in the garage at home, and he can change them every day according to his mood, damn nouveau riche!

"Mr. Brian, I have long thought that you have the ability, what is the good news?"

"There is also good news, it is another endorsement, yesterday they suddenly came to the door, and the goal is very clear, they designated Brother Panda to endorse."

Ji Guoqiu was strange in his heart and asked, "What contract is named to find me?" ”

Brian said: "It's a Nokia mobile phone, they put forward an offer that I can't refuse, 10 million US dollars for 4 years, and this offer can show that Nokia is very sincere, and they want you to endorse this world-renowned mobile phone brand." ”

Ji Guoqiu's face became very strange when he heard this, and he immediately thought of the fact that he used a Nokia mobile phone to knock out Odom's two front teeth that day, which is one of the news that the media has been vying to report since yesterday.

"Don't worry, guys, both offers have riders that if you win the 2007-2008 Rookie of the Season, you can increase the amount of both endorsements by 10 percent, All-Star selections by 5 percent, three-point kings and Slam Dunk contest titles by 5 percent and 10 percent, and playoff appearances by 5 percent. These are just a few examples, and I've added a number of similar clauses to your contract, and if you can do half of them, you'll get an extra 30% of the endorsement fee. So for the sake of the dollar, you have to keep working hard, I will look for other endorsement contracts for the continuation of you, and what you have to do is to have a better table on the pitch and give me more capital to bargain with. ”

That night, the two brothers ended the call with their agent and were still immersed in the excitement of getting an endorsement contract. After getting these two endorsement contracts, they finally don't have to worry about money for a short time, and at the same time, they can have the confidence to continue to bargain with Nike and Adidas.

On the same day, on the evening of December 19, the NBA officially announced the results of the first phase of the All-Star voting, Kevin Garnett topped the league with an undisputed advantage, and LeBron James was slightly less popular, ranking second in the East.

In the west, Kobe Bryant and Yao Ming occupy the top two positions. The Chinese twins, as expected by the media and fans, are in fifth and sixth place in the West. Another Chinese player, Yi Jianlian, also received 152828 votes, ranking fifth among Eastern Forwards.

With more than 500 players in the NBA, not everyone is eligible to run for All-Star Stars, with only 120 candidates each season, and the roster is submitted by 30 teams in the league. The Los Angeles Clippers have four players in the draft, namely Ron Artest, James Posey, Ji Guoyi, and Ji Guoqiu.

In the past, in the annual 120-person All-Star shortlist, the NBA was very strict about the candidate rights of rookie players, mainly based on the order, and by default, only the champions, lists, and tanhua of the year could become 3 people of 120 people, and whether they entered the All-Star depended on their personal creation.

However, this year, the Trail Blazers' champion Auden the Great was directly reimbursed, and Durant was naturally eligible to be a candidate, while the twin brothers, who have always occupied the top two on the rookie list, naturally became an exception, and the two of them have unwittingly set another record, becoming the lowest rookie player in the draft in the NBA history to participate in the 120-man running list.

The results of the first phase of the poll are, first of all, an overview of the east:

The Celtics have been the league's leader with a stellar record this season, which has given Garnett a lot of glory in the ticket battle, with his total vote total of 616,690. Last season's vote king, LeBron James, had 600733 of the votes.

The boss of the center in the East undoubtedly belongs to Dwight Howard, who has the support of 565506 vote. Wade and Kidd led the defensive position, who received 427764 and 389333 votes respectively.

In the second tier, Bosh (213983 votes) and Pierce (208926 votes) are third and fourth respectively in the front line, but they are too far behind James to pose a threat at all, and Yi Jianlian is fifth with 152828 votes.

The battle for defender in the East is relatively suspenseful, with Carter (338051 votes) and Ray Allen (324810) both yet to be completely left behind, while UAE teammate Michael Reid is seventh with 103309 votes and is basically out of the starting race.

Another center in the East, "Big Shark" O'Neal is no longer beautiful this season, and the 296292 votes can only be "looking at the monster and sighing".

Next is the West, this year, the Chinese twins joined the battle group, just like two big bombs dropped on the Western Inner Front, making the already fierce Western Inner Line competition even worse, and almost even Duncan blew up the two of them out of the starting line, which is no less than the impact of the Little Giants back then.

Overview of the West: Because the West is more competitive, the votes are relatively scattered, and no one in the first phase of the vote has more than 500,000 votes.

First of all, in the guard position, Kobe Bryant is in first place in the West with 498716 votes, followed by Maddy with 423141 votes.

Among the interior players, "Stone Buddha" received 435059 votes to continue to lead the way among the forwards, and the popular "Melon" Anthony came behind Duncan with 421722 votes.

Yao Ming's position as a center in the West is unbreakable, and the votes of the Little Giants 493305 make him firmly in the top spot of the center in the West.

Twin brothers, who are regarded as-stirring sticks by American fans, the two of them squeezed into the first echelon as expected, Ji Guoyi ranked third in the western forward line with 415,980 votes, and his brother Ji Guoqiu followed closely behind, ranking fourth in the western forward position with 412208 votes.

The Clippers reported the positions of power forward and small forward for the two, deliberately avoiding the more popular Yao Ming.

If the two can still maintain the third or fourth place in the second and third stage votes, and even surpass Melon Anthony with one more force, it will be wonderful, and one of the two will be the starting small forward in the West, recreating the scene when rookie Yao Ming overtook O'Neal at the peak.

Chinese fans have appealed in major forums, asking Rocket fans not to vote for soft wheat anymore, and strive to elect twin brothers and Yao Ming as starters at the same time, when the west will become the world of Chinese, such a scene is exciting to think about!

San Antonio Spurs fans are now of course worried, for fear that their stone Buddha will be squeezed out of the starting line by the Chinese vote of "more people is **", but compared to Duncan, who is safe for the time being, the most painful thing now is actually the Denver Nuggets. The Clippers have been competing with them for the eighth spot in the West, and it hasn't been long before they are competing with the core of their team for the starting small forward position.

The competition for the second tier in the West has also outpaced that of the East, and on the guard side, Nash (396493 votes) and Iverson (384291 votes) will continue to put pressure on Maddie.

Nowitzki also maintains a strong competitiveness, and his (386853 votes) savings are not enough to put Anthony and Duncan at ease, but the German, who is also in pain, is now only in fifth place, so it is difficult for the Noble King to be squeezed by the twins to the embarrassing point of guarding the water cooler.

It is worth mentioning that the Clippers' two-dollar defensive giants, Artest and James Posey, ranked seventh in the Western press and fifth in the guard with 186853 and 126853 votes respectively, which is obviously stained with the light of the twin brothers.

The starting center position in the West lost suspense due to Yao Ming's stunning, and the Suns' Xiao Si ranked second in the center position with 303916, completely losing the qualification to compete with Yao Ming for the starter. However, the clever Phoenix man put Junior as a center forward, at least firmly ensured that Stoudemire could play as a substitute, while Nowitzki, who had more votes than him, could only guard the water cooler, which was an IQ suppression.
