Most of the sports media in the United States basically think that Adidas' contract to Sun Yue is a bit risky, they think that Sun Yue is not worth three years and $41 million, and they think they must be crazy to give a rookie such a contract.

As for in the hearts of fans, Sun Yue once again became the object of envy of everyone. When his physical fitness is not particularly outstanding, he led a mediocre college team to win the national championship, had constant scandals with beautiful stars, and now got a sky-high endorsement contract, which is a beautiful thing that many people can't get obscenity.

This is one of the reasons why Adidas signed Sun Yue for three years and 41 million US dollars, he wanted to create a gimmick that Sun Yue has become one of the most expensive players in the sneaker market, and this gimmick will help them to do promotion.

Same Phil. Wright for NBA commissioner David Brown. Stern's strategy to promote the NBA's globalization is clear, and the Chinese market behind Sun Yue is also a delicious cake. Of course, the Adidas team also believes in Sun Yue's potential, otherwise it would not be better than Adidas's current first brother - Tracy. McGrady has a higher endorsement contract.

Sun Yue, who signed this sky-high endorsement contract, said at a press conference: "I feel very honored to be able to cooperate with a powerful company like Adidas. We had a very pleasant and tacit understanding during the contact process, we spent almost no time negotiating, and our values were the same. ”

"Regarding the contract price, my agent and I are very satisfied with the sincerity given by Adidas. They understand my value and are willing to offer the right price, which is more important than the amount of the contract. ”

Phil. Wright did not hesitate to praise Sun Yue at the press conference: "From today on, Sun Yue has officially become a member of our Adidas family, and he is our flagship product in the future." The company and I have a lot of faith in him, so it was the best thing to do at this price at this time, and soon we will be launching his signature sneakers. ”

Phil. Wright's words directly established Sun Yue's status, Sun Yue is the first person in the future of Adidas' basketball map, and he will launch it with Maddie as Adidas' twin stars as signature stars.

Sun Yue got such a sky-high endorsement contract, which made the other players in the 2005 draft jealous, but no player came out to make any statements, except for Andrew. Bogut.

As the biggest favorite for the top pick in this year's draft, Andrew . Bogut said in an interview: "I'm the one who deserves a sponsorship contract with a salary of 10 million. ”

"I'm a center with a strong body and agility, and I've reached the top level in the NBA in terms of physicality and basketball skills. I'm ready to dominate the penalty areas of all stadiums in the league, the sponsors who sign endorsement contracts with me won't lose, and I have a huge Australian market behind me, which is a much richer country than China. ”

Andrew. Bogut is working hard to sell himself to the media, but it is already a well-known law in the NBA that centers don't sell shoes. O'Neal was also snubbed by Nike when he first entered the NBA.

"I didn't mean to target him, I've watched his games, and I don't think he can compete with me for the top pick, and his thin body has to suffer a lot in the NBA."

At the end of the interview, Andrew . Bogut didn't forget to comment on Sun Yue, in fact, he also commented on Marven. Williams, Chris. Paul, Delong. Williams, one of the rookies who could compete with him for the top spot, already has this year's top pick in his pocket.

About Andrew. Bogut's big words, Sun Yue didn't pay attention to it, instead of fighting with others, Sun Yue preferred to improve his strength to slap others in the face. The University of Michigan is in spring training, and Sun Yue is still training with the team, especially with the help of trainers sent by Adidaste, to continue special training for his own confrontation and strength.

Fast forward to May 16, when the annual NBA lottery was held at the Manhattan Hotel in New York.

The NBA Draft Lottery is a pivotal process in announcing the draft picks that lottery teams have received that year, and it's naturally important for those rebuilding teams to see if they can get a high pick and select a cornerstone player who can lead them out of their predicament.

Based on the regular season records of each team this season, the odds of each team winning the lottery are: Atlanta Hawks (20%), New Orleans Hornets (15%), Charlotte Bobcats (15%), Utah Jazz (10%), Milwaukee Bucks (6%)......

Historically, not many teams with the worst record have ended up getting the top pick in the lotto draw. Since the lottery began in 1994, the teams with the highest odds of winning the lottery have only won three of the 21 draws: the 76ers (Iverson) in 1996, the Cavaliers (LeBron) in 2003 and the Magic (Howard) in 2004. In the last five years of lotto draws, none of the teams with the worst records have won the top pick.

Soon, NBA commissioner David Brown. Stern began announcing the results of the draw in reverse order: No. 14 was the Minnesota Timberwolves, 13th was the Charlotte Bobcats, 12th was the Los Angeles Clippers, 11th was the Orlando Magic, 10th was the Los Angeles Lakers, 9th was the Golden State Warriors, 8th was the New York Knicks, No. 7 was the Toronto Raptors, No. 6 was the Charlotte Bobcats, No. 5 was the New Orleans Hornets, and No. 4 was the Utah Jazz.

This result shows that the top three have been confirmed to be the Portland Trail Blazers, Atlanta Hawks, and Milwaukee Bucks. In the end, the Portland Trail Blazers, the Atlanta Hawks, and the Milwaukee Bucks won the championship in one fell swoop, with only a 6% probability of drawing the top pick.

And the general manager of the Milwaukee Bucks excitedly raised the fishhook in his hand, which was a lucky gift from a Bucks fan, and the fan swore to him that this fishhook would bring good luck, and now, good luck really came, and this fishhook hooked a precious champion pick for the cold Milwaukee.

With the release of the final draft picks, the secret agreements and communication between NBA teams began to unfold, and the highlight of this summer, the draft drama, has officially kicked off.
