Chapter 177: Sneaker Sponsorship
Liu Yifei didn't know if Yang Mo really didn't hear it or pretended to hear it, but she was too embarrassed to ask a second time, so she pointed to the water cup in front of her: "You can pour me some water." β
When Yang Mo heard this, he immediately went to pour a glass of water.
In the evening, after making a fuss for a while, they all went home, and Yang Mo also went back to the room that Lu Xueman opened for him.
The next day, as soon as Yang Mo got up and finished washing, Lu Xueman rushed over, and then chatted with Yang Mo very seriously about sneaker sponsorship. Chatting with Lu Xueman is a very refreshing thing, she never clichΓ©s, and goes straight to the topic: "Regarding sneaker sponsorship, I have received four contracts so far, and I have probably figured out the highest price that the other party can afford." Nike gave $30 million for five years. Adi is slightly more expensive, thirty-five million five years. Jordan hasn't talked about it yet, Michael Jordan wants me to quote him a price, and I estimate that with his love for you, 40 million is achievable. There is also a domestic company that has the lowest prices and the highest demands, so I decided to ignore them. β
"The lowest price given to me by a domestic company?" Yang Mo didn't react a little, he had the impression that the contracts given by domestic companies to foreign stars were very high, even if the other party was already angry.
"yes, I'm. I've never seen a manager like that, you talk to him about the market, he talks to you about feelings. You talk about commercial value, he talks to you about compatriot feelings, whatever you talk about, he can finally get compatriot feelings. I don't want to deal with them anymore. The contracts they gave to those balloon stars were very generous, and the faces of preferring to be with foreign thieves rather than domestic slaves were disgusting. Lu Xueman said very unhappily.
"Then ignore them." Yang Mo shook his head. Then he said, "Otherwise, you see it like this." Can I lower the base salary a little bit, but every time I get some honors, they have to give me more money. For example, the best rookie, such as being selected as an All-Star, such as making the playoffs, such as winning the best of the week, etc...... In this way, they will not lose, and I will not suffer. β
"Hmm." Lu Xueman nodded. And then he said: "In the negotiations with these shoe representatives, I found that they are more inclined to outside stars, because it is difficult to sell the signed shoes of interior players, whether it is Shak O'Neal or Yao Ming. So, if you can, you should try to go outside. β
"I will." Yang Mo nodded: "Then you go talk first, and if the conditions don't work, continue to wait." When I fully hit the price, I'm not afraid that they won't give me top treatment. Of course, it's best to follow my advice to you and try to get them to pay more on the bonus bonus. β
"You're so confident in yourself?"
"Of course." Yang Mo shrugged his shoulders and said very confidently. After saying that, he added: "Tell them that I will complete the transformation in two years." Become a true all-you-can-eat player from two to five. β
"Within two years? Are you sure you can? Lu Xueman was particularly surprised and said that she felt that it was too fast to complete the transformation in two years.
"In fact, it could be faster, that's just a conservative estimate." Yang Mo is extremely confident.
After getting up and tidying up, he headed to Staples Arena for a game against the Clippers tonight. Then the next day there will be another big game against the Lakers.
Arriving at the arena, the Heat's teammates were already assembled. Seeing Yang Mo go back, he didn't say anything, only Spoelstra complained very unhappily: "Yang, you are too bad like this." Even Dwyane wouldn't delay his return to the team because he was attending a business event, so you wouldn't be busier than Dwyan, would you? If everyone is like you, then our team will simply be disbanded......"
Yang Mo was too lazy to listen to him, and muttered in his heart Everyone is still wearing civilian clothes, what is the delay? Is there still a small number of cases where Dwyanne does not return all night? Do you dare to care?
walked to the side to find the team staff, asked him to get a ticket on the sidelines and then sent it to Liu Yifei, after all, it was promised.
At the beginning of the game in the evening, Yang Mo's eyes had been searching for the bench, but he never found any trace of Liu Yifei, he couldn't help but panic a little, right? Was she really mad because of that?
Towards the end of the second quarter, she finally arrived. By this time, the Heat were already trailing by twenty-five points.
The reason why the game fell behind by 25 points was not because Yang Mo was distracted, Yang Mo scored 12 points and 6 rebounds very desperately. But the other players are not in form at all. And the Clippers are blossoming inside and outside under the leadership of Yang Mo's old brother Eric Gordon, whether it is the aging Baron Davis, or the young Ben Gordon, or Thornton, Chris Kaman, and Marcuri Camby, they are all in demand.
Except for Yang Mo, the other four positions of the Heat team were all completely blown out.
How can this be fought?
Although the Clippers have a poor record, they have a much more neat roster than the Heat. At least the point guard is the point guard, the shooting guard is the shooting guard, and there are people at all five positions. What about the Heat? Old and young, sick and disabled! Plus low morale, still playing with eggs?
When she returned to the locker room, Yang Mo kept encouraging everyone and improving everyone's morale. The players' mental state finally improved, and Spoelstra said: "If you can be with your teammates day and night, your chemistry on the pitch will be much better." β
Yang Mo was half angry with this sentence, is this what the head coach should say? The teammates played like shit, and in the end, they could blame Yang Mo for not sleeping with his teammates all night? Are you taking a child when Yang Mo?
Yang Mo was very unhappy, but he thought that he really didn't go back last night, so he didn't stand up to his words.
However, morale also continued to sink because of Spoelstra's words.
In the second half of the game, Yang Mo tried to connect the team's combat effectiveness with assists, but unfortunately, they still couldn't score. In the end, Yang Mo had to take over the game, constantly turning and throwing the basketballs into the basket one by one with a mid-range turn and a single with his back.
Yang Mo's strength alone has always been limited, he is not Kobe Bryant or Allen Iverson after all, he can rely on one person's hurricane to take away the victory.
However, through the tempering of the two quarters of the game, Yang Mo's back-body singles skills are becoming more and more free.
In the end, the game was lost 88-102. Yang Mo scored 28 points and 12 rebounds. is still an All-Star level data, although the shooting rate is a little worse, only 11 of 27 shots, but that is also the result of practicing back-to-back singles, at least Yang Mo's last three balls all hit.
After the game, many Heat players walked back to the locker room with a smile, only a few three or four people, including Yang Mo, looked unhappy, obviously most of them had accepted the fact that the team had failed, perhaps in their hearts, they themselves thought they were fish belly.
