Zhao Dashao got up late the next day, and last night's party didn't end until the second half of the night, so it was impossible to get up at four o'clock, and Zhao Dashao slept until nine o'clock in the morning before getting up to exercise.

The Lakers' original plan was to return to Los Angeles in the afternoon, and the hotel they were staying at was due to be handed over in the afternoon.

But Zhao Dashao opened an ordinary single room at the MGM Hotel for everyone last night, paid three days' rent at once, and these people can continue to play in Las Vegas.

But don't think about more benefits, most of these teammates are scattered with him, and there will be no intersection in the future, Zhao Dashao is considered to be benevolent.

Of course, what he promised will not be reversed, one Truss car per person, and the bill of lading will be delivered to them soon, but the first batch of Truss will not be officially delivered until the end of the year.

A championship ring per person will arrive a little faster, and it will be about three months before it will be forged and handed over to these players one by one.

Of course, it won't take that long to create the gold ring, but three months later, it will be the end of the preseason, and by then Kobe, Gasol and others have returned to the team, it is a good time for them to see what they can do.

Zhao Dashao sometimes feels that he is too scheming, but it is not enough to subdue the younger brothers of Famar, Vujasic, and Ariza.

He has to get the starters and role players like Lao Yu, Bynum, and Odom to succumb to his money ability, and then his position can be considered stable.

He doesn't plan to stay in Las Vegas for long, but he does have to attend Sharapova's party before leaving.

But I soon regretted it a little, because it was a business party, and Zhao Dashao only found out that it was a contract renewal party held by Nike for Sharapova.

"Evan, it's a pleasure to meet you."

Nike, as an international sports brand leader, has leaders in various sports fields, and tonight, in addition to the head of the tennis department in the United States, the executives of the basketball department are also on the scene, and his target is Zhao Dashao.

Since Zhao Dashao came, of course he would not be rude, and after meeting with the two Nike executives, he did not take the initiative to speak.

The two of them didn't pester him either, saving Sharapova from snubbing the host of the party.

Sharapova was very happy when she saw Zhao Dashao, kept pulling him to talk, took him with her wherever she went, and finally introduced her agent to Zhao Dashao.

"Let me introduce you, this is my agent, Mr. Max."

"It turned out to be IMG's gold agent, and it's an honor to meet you."

Zhao Dashao was a little amused in his heart, but he knew that Shengshi Group launched an acquisition of IMG last month, and he would soon be able to seize this agency with many supermodels and sports names before Silver Lake Capital.

He also knows this Max, who is a big-name agent who focuses on tennis, and Li Na, the first sister in China's tennis world in the future, is one of his big names.

The two chatted briefly, and Max obviously wanted to get some business for the company's basketball club, which was very loyal.

Zhao Dashao also likes this kind of subordinate who thinks about the company, and judging from the respect that Sharapova and Li Na have for him, this person is also very good to his contracted athletes.

But he still doesn't like this kind of party, Sharapova thought that Zhao Dashao misunderstood that he invited him just to pull him into the company, but Zhao Dashao didn't because of this, he just didn't like the people who attended the party to be too mixed.

Tonight he knows a bunch of names that will be forgotten early tomorrow morning, and there will be rumors of his affair with Sharapova in the media, because he has already seen someone who looks like a journalist.

"It's not worth it!"

Zhao Dashao just wants to communicate with Sharapova, he hasn't tried this kind of strong tennis girl yet, but if there is a scandal, or a formal relationship, then forget it.

Sharapova's appearance is one of the best in the tennis world, but yesterday's Catherine was even more white and beautiful, and he would definitely choose the latter if he wanted to communicate for a long time.

But even so, he could still see the little freckles on Catherine's skin, the delicate degree of the young lady's skin was much worse than his, although such skin was already very good in white people, but it would still age very quickly, and after the age of thirty, her appearance would fall like a roller coaster.

So it is impossible for him to find a long-term partner in 20 years, Murdoch's wife is 40 years younger than him, and Dongge's milk tea is also 25 years younger than himself.

Even if he doesn't look for the post-20s, at least he has to find a post-10s, right?

It has to be an East Asian beauty, not only because of the longer shelf life, but also because he has always felt that East Asian beauty is more durable.

But Sharapova looked at him more and more pleasing to the eye, and as soon as Zhao Dashao appeared tonight, the girls in the party were immediately eclipsed!

His delicate facial features were seductively beautiful in the dim light of the party, and his skin was smoother than most girls.

At the end of this party that was not quite right, Sharapova could no longer control her desires, and her hands secretly stroked Zhao Dashao's delicate skin, and then couldn't help but gently knead and stroke, so frightened that Zhao Dashao almost fell to the ground.

In the end, he didn't know how to roll into bed with Mao Mei, anyway, the place where he slept was in the presidential suite of the Luxor Hotel, but he couldn't remember whether he was on top of it last night, or was pressed under Mao Mei.

In order to find out whether he likes the top or the bottom, Zhao Dashao has been staying in the Luxor Hotel for three days, but in the end he still didn't understand this problem.

At this time, the Lakers' summer training camp has ended, and in the end, a few people can stay in the preseason training camp smoothly, which he doesn't know and doesn't care.

However, the Lakers' preseason training camp will start later this year, of course, because of the Olympics.

After learning poses with Zhao Dashao in the hotel for three days, Sharapova is also leaving the United States for the Olympics in Beijing.

Zhao Dashao didn't have much to do throughout August, and after returning to Los Angeles, it seemed that there was only training except training.

Of course, Miss Serena lives in Los Angeles, so this can also be communicated.

But Zhao Dashao still put basketball first, and the first person to receive when he returned to Los Angeles was not the young lady, but Stockton, who had been mentioned by his teammates before.

Stockton is not a spendthrift like most black players, and he has been enjoying family fun and living a quiet life at home since retiring.

But it's impossible for a person in his forties to be completely idle, so Stockton also has a small business, occasionally going to games, participating in charity events, and living a fulfilling life.

It's not like he hasn't been coached by high school and college teams over the years, and that's what retired stars do most often.

But Stockton didn't want to be so busy anymore, until Zhao Dashao, as a fan + junior, directly spent $1 million to find him as a personal trainer for a month, Stockton decided to pit him hard for the sake of money.

Zhao Dashao's price is not low, don't look at the media all day long saying that a certain star makes a lot of money by engaging in training camps, in fact, it is mostly publicity, and the degree of falsehood is the same as Hollywood love movies.

Stockton originally wondered if Zhao Dashao was shaking himself, until he came to Purple Mountain Villa and suddenly found that the price was less?

Zhao Dashao really doesn't take one or two million small money to heart, but it doesn't mean that he has a big head.

So Stockton wanted to sit on the ground and raise the price, but Zhao Dashao rejected it.

It's not a question of money, it's a matter of principle.

Since he said that he was willing to give more than one million afterwards, that was his problem; But if you sit on the ground and start the price, we will meet again.

Stockton is reluctant to miss such an opportunity to make money, and the reason why Zhao Dashao is looking for him is very simple, they are not violent point guards, Stockton's athleticism is not as good as him, but he can mix with the status of the top three point guards in history, of course, he is an object worth learning.

[Defense], [Organization], [Small Actions], Zhao Dashao felt that if he could learn any of the three magic weapons of Stockton, it would be enough to pay back the ticket price.

In the following month, Zhao Dashao's life became extremely regular.

During the day, he consulted Stockton.

In the evening, he went on a date with Miss Catherine, and the two only communicated for three days before changing the venue to a bed.

Of course, he can't just communicate with a young lady, and often puts on the mask of Kobe or James to talk about life with cute "courtesans", in addition to learning new postures, he can occasionally learn a foreign language.

But this kind of study needs to bring some gifts, after all, the tuition is still required.

Nike and Adidas found him again during this period, but even if they resorted to beauty tricks, Zhao Dashao would not be able to sign a contract with them.

In August, Shengshi Group revealed two acquisitions, one of which was the wholly-owned acquisition of "AND1", "FILA" and "Lotto", which were on the verge of bankruptcy, and prepared to merge these three former international sports brands into "Glory Sports".

"AND1" is a basketball brand in the United States, founded in 1993, Carter, Garnett, Kobe Bryant and other superstars all wore AND1 sneakers, but they were all to bargain with Nike, and it didn't take long to get a big contract.

However, before 2003, AND1 had a period of rapid rise, and even in the NBA, the wearing rate has risen to the second place, second only to the NIKE brand.

But AND1 was a new brand after all, and at that time there were only endorsements from stars like Marbury, Billups, and Ben Wallace who were not popular with fans, so when the funds raised were spent, it was unsustainable, and it became a meteor that rose rapidly and fell rapidly.

In the past two years of global financial turmoil, even Nike and Adidas have to pull up their belts to live, and many sports brands are on the verge of bankruptcy.

AND1 only had one breath left, and Shengshi Group only used $120 million to take it down, but they had to take over the $300 million debt owed by AND1, so it was equivalent to buying AND1 with $400 million.

"FILA" is a little stronger than AND1, this century-old brand was once one of the world's top three sports brands, experienced a long period of glory, but after the new century has declined, and now it is belly up.

FILA is engaged in a different field from AND1, and this sports brand is mainly engaged in the development of high-end sports-related products such as tennis, skiing, golf, yoga, and motor racing.

But this business direction has been outdated since the 90s, and now no matter what century-old brand, decline is decline, and the "Lotto" next door was once a big giant in the field of football, but in recent years, there is not even a shadow to be seen.

Shengshi Group only used 200 million euros to take over the 200 million euro debt "lotto", a football equipment brand that once had a brilliant European glory, is now worth only 400 million euros.

So the same down-and-out "FILA" only sold for 600 million euros, which still depends on the fact that there are still so many celebrity spokespersons under FILA, otherwise it will not be worth much more than Lotto.
