Chapter Seventy-Three: Sneaker Contract

Offense: Joe Johnson is a tall shooting guard, has the ball-handling skills of a playmaker, often plays as a true point guard with the Hawks, has averaged 6.5 assists per game in a single season, and is good at shooting; although Johnson is average athletic, lacks explosiveness, and is not very fast, he is good at combining his possession with his height advantage, and he is surprisingly effective at playing against shorter opponents in the low post - a career shooting percentage of 50.1% near 3-10 feet. Likes to pull straight out when playing an opponent alone. Johnson rarely makes free throws because he rarely breaks to make damage, but another statistic makes up for in offensive efficiency: three-pointers, and Johnson shoots a lot of three-pointers every year.

Defensive: Joe Johnson defensively average, but not lagging his feet, his strengths and weaknesses are clear - he is very tall and has a good reach, but he lacks athleticism and can't defend against players who are fast or too strong. Johnson's physical mediocrity has led to Johnson's low rebounding rate, never exceeding five rebounds per 40 minutes in his career, and even lower steal and block percentage, two stats that require more physical fitness.

Joe Johnson does not have the flashy style of play like "Penny" Hardaway, the muscular physique of LeBron James, the tough defense of Scottie Pippen, the accurate shooting of Ray Allen, the broad vision of Stephen Nash, and the flamboyant personality of Jason Terry; He has a stable jump shot, simple cut, accurate passing, active scramble, and a calm character; He can deliver a lethal blow in the final moments and lock up any outside opponent on the defensive end; He may not score 30 points every night, but he can grab 20 points while diching out six assists. (ESPN Review)

Gu Fei turned on the computer and saw that, and then looked for many videos and found that what the video showed was indeed what was said in the information, so Gu Fei formulated a defense against Joe Johnson.

First: Forcing Joe Johnson out of the low post and not letting him shoot in familiar places.

Second: Pay attention to his pull-up jumper and three-point shot.

Third: try to cut off his contact with his teammates, and don't let him organize his teammates.

These are the three points that Gu Fei can think of at present, although it doesn't seem complicated, but it's definitely not easy to really do it, not to mention the rest, it's difficult to force Qiao to leave the low position.

"I have to work hard to do it, and I will definitely be able to overpower Gordon in the coach's mind this time, and when the trade starts, I will be able to guarantee that I will not be traded."

The trading market is about to open, which is why Gu Fei is so urgent now, today is November 27 and the start of trading is December 15, and during this period, the Bulls have a total of nine games, namely: No. 28 against the Hawks, No. 2 home against Bobcats, No. 4 against Mavericks, No. 6 away against Bobcats, No. 8 against Pistons, No. 9 back-to-back at home against the Celtics, No. 12 home to meet the challenge of the SuperSonics, No. 13 flew to Indiana back-to-back to challenge the Pacers, and finally No. 15 returned home to meet the Knicks.

This schedule is not easy for the Bulls, there are two back-to-back games, and there are many away games, so Gu Fei wants to start with the Hawks and surpass Gordon in these nine games, otherwise who knows where it will go after being traded? Can you still play the ball, although you may not necessarily play the starting role in the Bulls, but at least you can have a stable playing time!

Gu Fei has never been so eager to stay with the Bulls, and people will always feel afraid in the face of the unknown.

Gu Fei closed the computer after watching the video for a while, and lay on the field staring at the ceiling without blinking, not knowing what he was thinking or what's wrong.

The next day, Gu Fei got up early, ran to the stadium after breakfast, and started training on his own when he saw that no one was there, and after a while, someone slowly came, and the coach began to practice tactics again as soon as he arrived, and then they went home, and they didn't train in the afternoon, just come to the stadium before the game.

Leaving the stadium, Gu Fei called Tang Jiqing again and asked her to come out for dinner together, this time the two did not make an appointment in Wang Lin's restaurant, but went to a local Chicago restaurant, and then the two spent a happy noon.

After eating, Gu Fei and Tang Jiqing walked around the street for a while, and then sent her back to school because Tang Jiqing still had classes in the afternoon, and then Gu Fei was confused alone.

"I found out that I don't have any friends in such a place, and it seems that I am on the way to play all day except for playing and practicing all day long, and it seems that there is really nothing to do except these."

"Alas, forget it, let's go to practice and wait until the evening game!" Gu Fei shook his head and sighed and walked towards the arena again.

Walking, walking, walking, the mobile phone suddenly rang, Gu Fei took out his mobile phone and found that it was the phone of his agent Bill Duffy, and quickly connected the phone.

"Hey, Bill, what's the matter with you?"

"Gu, I have good news for you!" Bill Duffy's tone does sound like something good

"Oh? Is something good happening to me? ”

"Gu You have played well in recent games, and you have scored high scores in several games, and the people from Nike just called me to sign you to their endorsement!"

"Really? That's a good thing, but how many contracts are they offering? ”

"They want to sign you to a five-year, $25 million contract."

Gu Fei was silent for a moment after hearing this, Bill Duffy didn't hear Gu Fei's reply, thinking that he thought the price was low, and hurriedly said: "Gu is actually a lot of money, and so far, the best rookie this year, Durant Nike, of the Thunder, has only given 60 million for 7 years." ”

"I know that this price is indeed not low in terms of my current strength, but in my opinion, this is not my price in the future, after a season I am definitely much stronger than now, plus I have a certain Chinese market behind me, if I sign for five years, I think it will be a loss in the future!" Other people don't know, but Gu Fei knows his own situation, and in a year, his strength can definitely reach another level, and now that the contract he signs is long, isn't it a loss.

After listening to Gu Fei's explanation, Bill Duffy was also silent for a while, and then asked, "Then what do you think should be done?" ”

"I think you can sign a contract for a short period of one year or two years, but I think one year is the best, even if it's a little less."

"Then how much do you think is appropriate for a year?"

"2 million to 3 million is fine, what do you think?"

"Well, you're trying to put up good numbers in recent games so that we can have an advantage when we negotiate."

"Okay, there's a game against the Eagles tonight, I'm going to play hard."

"Okay, I'm going to talk to the Nike people now to see if we can have better conditions."

"Then Bill will trouble you with this."

"What's the trouble, this is what I should do as an agent, otherwise I will take your money for nothing!"

"Huh. Well, I'll be at the stadium right away, so I'll not talk about it. ”

"Okay." Then Bill Duffy hung up.

Hanging up the phone, Gu Fei let out a long sigh, "It seems that now I am also a football star, Nike has come to find an endorsement, 25 million in five years, tsk, five million a year!" Gu Fei shook his head and sighed at Nike's wealth

"Well, a few months ago I was running around trying to get a job to feed on, and now? As long as you sign a name, you may get money that you can't earn in the previous generation. Our protagonist sighs again before he lifts his feet and walks forward.
