"Is your 'I'll go' an answer or an exclamation?" Joseph asked tentatively, neither he nor Haugist had very authentic Chinese accents, so the two words could easily cause ambiguity.

"I promised, I will play in the Asian Championships in September, but I have to report to the national team after playing the summer league in July!" Hoggist explained.

Qiu Jingli exclaimed: "Go back after playing the summer league? Are you crazy? Then your body won't be able to stand it! ”

Hoggist gave her a reassuring look, "Don't worry, I have my own measure, you see I haven't played a whole semester this semester!" I guess the Asian Championships are about the same level of intensity as the NCAA, right? ”

"It may have been, but now except for my country, other countries are frantically hoarding black and hard, and the teams in West Asia are already good at physical confrontation, so their strength has long been different from what it used to be, and they must not be taken lightly." Zhang Weiping corrected Hougist's erroneous view.

Qiu Jingli listened to his father's words and looked at Haojist even more worriedly, Haojist frowned slightly, it seems that he miscalculated the strength of his opponent just now, and rashly agreed to participate, but since he agreed, it is not easy to regret it, so he can only bite the bullet.

"Why don't you think about it again?" Zhang Weiping asked humbly, he did give Haogist a step down by asking this, but he was very afraid that Haogist would really say no.

The father-in-law saved face for himself, but he couldn't refute his father-in-law's face, so Hougist said categorically, "Don't think about it, the eldest husband will say everything he wants, and the five horses will be divided!" ”

"It's not that miserable!" Zhang Weiping was startled when he heard Haojist's words, and hurriedly corrected: "It's hard to chase the horses, you don't need to divide the corpses of five horses!" Where did you learn this idiom so bloody! ”

"I remember a couple of horses coming, and that's it, and I promised to go. But there is another thing to trouble you, you have to find me the height and weight of the other players in the competition, technical characteristics and other information, it is best to have video highlights, highlights of goals and mistakes, as well as the coach's tactical style, after all, there is too little time for joint training, I will first study everyone's playing habits, and strive to integrate into the team in the shortest possible time in August. Hoggist said.

Zhang Weiping was overjoyed, and nodded again and again: "Okay, okay, I'll contact Da Yao immediately, and strive to find all the information for you in the next two days, but I have to give you a preventive shot in advance, the coaching level of our country is still in the initial stage of socialism, and the tactics may be relatively simple, don't scold the street when you see it!" ”

"That's okay, anyway, all tactics are just embellishments in front of strength, when I was in high school, the whole team played more complex tactics, but I didn't play many complex tactics after college, they were all misplaced attacks after single-block cover or I directly beat one by one and broke through the opponent with my own personal ability." Hoggist said disapprehantly.

Zhang Weiping's face was a little embarrassed, "The Chinese team doesn't use simple tactics because it's too strong, it's really that we have been emphasizing the training of basic skills for so many years, and the training of complex tactics is far from enough!" And the players are not strong enough in tactical execution, and they often forget to run and stand still! ”

"I'll go! Such a cheat! No wonder it is difficult to get the first place in Asia, the players do not run, the coach is clear from the sidelines, and they have to shout! "Hoggist couldn't understand the low-level mistake of forgetting to run.

"The problem is that the coach is too selfless to watch the game, and sometimes he forgets to urge the players to run!" Zhang Weiping was even more embarrassed.

"Looks like I'm going to have to think about whether I should borrow an assistant from the Lakers?" Hougist felt very helpless.

Joseph poured cold water on the side, "Don't dream, Lao Mei is very realistic, who will follow you to China thousands of miles away without benefits!" ”

"Wouldn't I be going to overstep the line and direct the tactics on the field? That would make the BLU manager look incompetent. Director Du will be unhappy, right? Hogist hesitated.

"It's okay, the sky is falling, there is Da Yao for you to top, now that the national team is reforming, Chairman Yao advocates both basic skills and tactical literacy, and both hands should be hard. You can bring a lot of tactical changes to the team, and I think that's something that everybody would love to see. Zhang Weiping's words gave Haojist a reassurance.

In the blink of an eye, Joseph has become the busiest person in the world, not only the advertising endorsement contracts of the company's players, but more importantly, the negotiation of rookie contracts is also on the agenda, Hougist does not need Joseph to fight for it, the Lakers generously offered 120% of the contract amount stipulated in the collective bargaining agreement that year, that is, 4 years and 25.72 million US dollars, and the third and fourth years are team options.

And Okafor and Turner's contract Joseph also easily won the 20% rise for them, the most difficult is Vaughn, generally the lower the rookie is not only the lower the salary, but also the more serious the team's price reduction, the Bucks are unwilling to give 120% of the amount, and even vainly try to only 80%, but Joseph with his own three-inch incorruptible poisonous tongue with Hougist, the general manager of the Bucks Jon. Horst was speechless and had to obediently offer a 120% rookie contract.

The three companies on the sneaker contract side have replied, and Nike can only give so much money, and it will not rise again, but it is proposed that the annual playoff reward of 3 million can be converted into a guaranteed amount. Adi, on the other hand, has also pledged to hold 200-person training camps in three locations every year.

Mr. Li Ning, chairman of the board of directors of the company, took the company's senior product manager and dragged a mysterious large suitcase directly to Los Angeles to visit Hoggist, who was preparing for the summer league with the rest of the team.

As soon as they met, Mr. Li Ning held Hoggist's hand tightly and said excitedly: "Little brother Helian, I have been looking up for a long time, haha, the little brother has a great figure and extraordinary appearance, he must be the dragon among people, and the hope of coming to Chinese basketball is tied to you." ”

I don't know where Mr. Li Ning found out that Hogist likes to listen to this kind of half-literate touting, and as soon as they meet, he piles up a large set of words to pour ecstasy soup into Hogist.

"The old gentleman has an overreputation, how can he be praised for this nonsense!" Hoggist really ate this, and arched his hands to be polite to Li Ning.

Seeing this, Joseph secretly said: "You two don't pretend to drag the text and drop the book bag, your teeth are sore!" So he interrupted them with two dry coughs on the side, "Ahem, Mr. Li came from China thousands of miles away, and the journey was tiring. Let's sit down and talk! ”

Everyone sat down, and Hougist wanted to continue to say a few words, but Joseph glanced at him, stopped him, and spoke first: "Mr. Li came in person, I don't know what to see?" After saying that, Joseph secretly thought it was funny, why did I also drag the text up?

"We are full of sincerity this time, and we can't increase the amount of the contract, but as a shareholder, I can sell 0.51% of the shares to you, which is worth more than 60 million. And we can also do these things in the training camp, after all, it is something to contribute to the country; Or I personally transfer 0.5% of the shares to you, and I will use the name of Helian Wu to open a basketball specialty school in the name of Helianwu, and continue to export basketball talents for the country, what do you think of these two plans? Mr. Li Ning looked at Hougist with sincere eyes and asked.

Joseph still stopped Haugist, "Mr. Li Ning, as far as I know, your company has given Dwyan. Wade's stake is more than that, right? What's more, your company's financial report shows that it has been losing money in recent years! ”

"Little brother Bijef, you may not know, we have turned a profit since 15 years, and this year's mid-year financial report will be released soon, you can compare. And with you on board, I'm sure the profits will be even faster, and I've heard a lot of fans say the same thing: 'Oh! This guy is so coquettish when he plays! I'll definitely buy a pair of his signature shoes to wear! I think if we can work together, this 'then' will happen soon." As for the shares, if you don't like to hear it, Mr. Wade's 3 championship trophies and 1FMVP are in hand, and he already has a high status and voice in the league, and his popularity is also very accessible. Working with Mr. Wade in a big deal, we earn cash; Working with you, we are betting on the future. You know, we're here in Evan. Turner's signing has been very cautious about signing rookies since Waterloo! Mr. Li Ning was blunt about the difference between Hogist and Wade, without the slightest euphemism, and it seemed that he was really full of "sincerity".

Joseph also understands that some of his hearts are not enough to swallow elephants, but he still wants to test the bottom line of Li Ning Company and grab greater benefits for Hogist. While he was still seriously thinking about Li Ning's words, Li Ning also glanced at the senior equipment manager who accompanied him.

The casual product manager put down the mysterious big suitcase and lifted the lid to reveal a dazzling array of semi-finished and finished sneakers. Li Ning introduced: "You slowly consider the contract, first take a look at the sneakers designed by our designer for Helian Wu, our designer designed such a few sneakers according to the theme concept of Xixia culture and iron harrier, this is our product manager Ming Jiuri, this project is mainly responsible for him, can you allow him to introduce the design ideas and these products?" ”

These sneakers instantly attracted Haugist's attention, and the contract issue had long been thrown out of the sky by him, anyway, it was good to leave this matter to Joseph to consider, and he should investigate it in his own professional direction! The core of the sneaker contract has to return to the sneakers, comfortable wearing is the last word, uncomfortable wearing affects the state, can not play a good performance, and ultimately will affect the future financial road.

Ming Jiu picked up a "quaint" sneaker and said: "These shoes are the core of the Tielin Project, that is, the signature shoes we designed for Helian Wu, named after the founding year of the Western Xia, called 'Tianzhu Ritual Law Yanzuo', referred to as 'Tianzuo'." You can see that this is a low-top sneaker, considering that Helianwu has never had a history of ankle injury, and the style of play is mainly based on rhythm changes such as changing direction and emergency stops, so we gave up the protection of the ankle and fully liberated Helianwu's ankle, so that he can do movements flexibly and freely; In order to prevent Kobe Bryant and Durant sneakers from falling off low-top sneakers, we have strengthened the thickness of the upper sponge to make the sneakers more heeled; The upper we went against the trend, did not use fragile plastic and woven upper, but used retro goatskin, this material is both high-end and strong, but also takes into account comfort and breathability, but also should be in harmony with the characteristics of the Western Xia Dangxiang nomads, but we did not give up stability, so with hot pressing technology to add a layer of nylon thread strapping system, after tying the laces the foot is more firm; The heel TPU can play a good role in fixing the heel, the midsole adds a large area of carbon plate to resist torsion, and the outsole uses Xixia characters as the shading, and after testing, the grip is very good; The forefoot uses Bounse enhanced rebound to give you more power for your breakthrough and stop-and-go jump shots, while the backfoot does not use the traditional Cushion to make up the classic Li-Ning B+C cushioning, but adopts a new combination method, we use a newly tuned cloud cushioning in the backfoot, this B+ cloud cushioning method is our first application, because the newly tuned cloud cushioning has a better energy absorption effect than Cushion. This B+ cloud is to Helian Wu what shox is to Vince. Carter, of course, I believe that our B+ cloud is far more secure and stable than shox. ”

Ming Jiu Ri introduced all the characteristics of the sneakers in one go, then handed the sneakers to Hoggist, took a breath and said: "Since we don't have your foot model, we just designed it according to your shoe size US17, and now it may not fit you to wear it, we need to get your foot model to make a pair of sneakers that really fit your foot shape." ”

Joseph saw it in his eyes, and knew that eighty percent of Haugist's heart had been captured by Li Ning, but who would have thought that when Nike Adi was still arguing with himself on the offer, Li Ning Company had actually designed a finished product, if Hao Gest did not sign Li Ning, this would also be a huge loss, it seems that Li Ning really showed 100% sincerity.

"The name of this shoe is full of style, it sounds very good, but I don't know what it means," at this time, Haugist had even begun to discuss his needs with Ming Jiuri, "The forefoot must be wide, because I have six toes on both feet; The anti-rollover on the outside of the forefoot must be there! This little feature I find most practical in practice! Also, I take the liberty of asking, which one is softer than Adi's Boost? ”
