The old god Barbara is here, completely in control of the initiative, and is not in a hurry about the issue of sponsorship at all.

Nike and Adi had a different situation at this time.

After all, the two companies are not in the same situation today, and Nike has no shortage of stars. Kobe Bryant is still at his peak, and his influence is wide enough. And James has begun to take over the position of Kobe Bryant's first man in the league, and in addition, they have another rising superstar, Kevin Durant as a backup, so there is no rush at all. In fact, if you count Carmelo Anthony and Chris Paul, who signed by Jordan under its sub-brand Jordan, they have stars in their hands, so chic is not their most urgent need.

Therefore, when they discuss internally, they are more inclined to wait and see.

Bobby Cullen, the director in charge of the signing, said this in his reply to the president: "Xiao Dash has a certain talent, and he also shows a lot of energy and a sense of existence on the court. After a long period of training and training, it is possible to become a star, and his market appeal can also be expected. However, there are two problems now. First, their asking price is too high. Second, he's a bit too much off-field news. So, my advice is to stay on the sidelines for the time being, and if he can continue to play more representative games, we can raise the offer. ”

Nike, for its part, gave feedback to the headquarters and stopped immediately following up on the offer.

Adi, for his part, has a very different approach.

After all, they don't have much to accomplish in basketball. Several of the veteran stars they signed have begun to decline, and the market appeal is already a big cut behind Nike, and now it is even worse. So. They have their sights set on this year's rookies. Derek Ross is the object of their focus. So they offer a very high price and do a good job of resource management.

And now the sleek rise has become their second focus, and the sleek Chinese background has made Adidas think more, and they are very focused on the Asian market, because now that China has become the world's largest shoe consumer market, they have to react.

Therefore, in terms of demand, Adidas obviously needs to be more chic to open the market.

And their internal analysis has also carefully analyzed every open match. They even sent a special investigation team to UCLA to carefully investigate the situation at the training ground. After learning that Xiao Shi was a training maniac, and that he had really achieved such great results after only half a year of basketball practice, they had already made up their minds in their hearts that they must sign Xiao Shao.

After all, Xiao Xiao has been able to see the shadow of some stars in the characteristics of the two NBA games, and if he plans his career well, helps him hire the best trainers, and helps him arrange his position within the team, the rewards he can get in the future will definitely meet expectations, and even exceed expectations is not impossible.

So, Adidas' team in charge of signing has finally made a decisive decision. They are willing to make an offer equal to Derrick Rose's contract for Dash. However, before the offer is officially submitted, they plan to go to Miami en masse to watch the Clippers play against the Heat. They want to get up close and personal with the charm of the course. They want to be impressed, to be able to see more of it up close.

Xiao Xiao didn't know about this.

All he knew was that before the game, McDonleavy made the decision to make Ricky Davis and Elsolton the starting small forwards and starting shooting guards tonight.

In this regard, Xiao Dash can only accept it, and he has no way to change it. Because this is the most basic power of a coach.

Although Sterling told McDonleavy that he wanted him to make chic the core. But now it's away, and the game hasn't been broadcast live nationally, so Dunleavy doesn't have to worry about being remotely commanded at all. This is the reason why the so-called foreign monarch will not be subject to the decree.

McDonleavy also doesn't know when he started to dislike Dash, probably because of Dash's liberal style of play on the court, but the bigger reason should be Sterling's involvement. Dunleavy is a power-heavy coach, and Raheem Sterling has forced himself above his authority, leaving him to passively accept it. He couldn't vent to his boss, so he had to vent his anger on Xiao Shi.

Xiao Xiao didn't know that he was thrown from the starting line because of Sterling's good intentions and bad deeds.

He doesn't really value the starting and sub roles, and he's thinking more about how to improve his skills now.

In a sense, he's a craftsman, and he's made basketball his own. He follows a very simple truth, that is, the craft is good and he is not afraid of running out of food, and he now thinks that his craft is not good enough, so he doesn't want to be too picky about whether he has playing time or not, just treat himself as an apprentice.

Xiao's apprenticeship mentality is very correct in a sense, because too many high-ranking rookies have fallen out with the team because of playing time, and Yan zhòng has affected their psychological quality, thus wearing out their sharpness. Like Mirisic is a good example.

Time is always ticking.

The game started quickly, and Miami fans were looking forward to Xiao Sao, and they wanted to see how the guy with two beautiful girlfriends played. This curiosity was brought into the stadium by them from the outside.

However, McDonleavy did not satisfy their curiosity.

For the entire first quarter, Xiao Sao didn't get a chance to play.

He started to get a little anxious, although he didn't mind whether he was a starter or not, or even very much about playing time. But sitting on the bench is not a solution, after all, I am paid, after all, I am a healthy player, I should go on the court and contribute to the team.

By the second quarter, Xiao Xiao still hadn't heard his name from McDonleavy's mouth.

McDonleavy was even deliberately not looking at Xiao Shi.

Xiao Xiao was in a hurry, because he found that the game on the court was a mess. A lot of defensive holes that could have been seized were overlooked by teammates. And the opponent can always hit the soft underbelly of their own team.

Watching the team fall behind little by little, falling into passivity step by step. Xiao Sa really can't wait to play immediately. He felt he could change some of the battles. At least it won't be worse than what is going on the pitch right now.

But Dunleavy has no intention of replacing Xiao Po on the court.

Xiao was also embarrassed to ask the head coach when he would be able to play. In desperation, he had to go to the empty space of the field and do push-ups.

He figured out how to use up his body with push-ups, because he found that the team's important issue now was scoring, and Elshorton and Ricky Davis didn't feel very good tonight, and the game was always supported by Byron Davis and Chris Carman's scoring. If he can play and become the third scoring firepower of the game, then the situation of the game will definitely change.

Xiao Wan wants to use push-ups to exhaust his body, so that he can enter a state of exhaustion, and he can make a jump shot as soon as he gets on the court.

His idea was undoubtedly good.

But. His behavior is incomprehensible, after all, no one knows that he can only improve his jump shooting percentage when he is in a state of exhaustion.

So, Heat fans are very puzzled, they don't know what Xiao Xiao is doing? Is this a warm-up? How can there be such a warm-up? Prove yourself body lì good? Well, it's possible!! So why not get substituted? Did he figure out guò this way to sue his manager that he wanted to play?

Soon, McDonleavy also noticed the sloppy behavior on the other side of the bench.

Suddenly, his face turned pale.

He thinks that Xiao Shao's action is a silent protest to himself, and he thinks that Xiao Xiao wants to embarrass himself with this kind of out-of-the-box action.

"Damn it, you want to tell the world that your body is fine, right? You want to sue the world for the head coach in freezing you. Right? You're trying to complain to your boss with this out-of-the-box move, right? Bastard, what a scheming Oriental! ”

McDonleavy muttered to himself with a grim face.

Originally, he thought about the game and pressed Xiao Shi directly on the bench. Let him not play for a minute. So that he understands how authoritative the will of the head coach of this team is. He had already figured out the reason for facing reporters after the game, and the reason was that he was unwell.

However, now he is doing so on the court. Who would think that he is unwell, he is obviously healthy!

When his predetermined reasons are shattered, Dunleavy will feel chic and hateful.

In this way, Dunleavy's displeasure with chic deepened again.

Therefore, he still didn't let Xiao Sa play immediately, he wanted to see how long Spark could do push-ups.

Xiao Dash's purpose was to get his body into exhaustion, so, he kept doing it, and soon the second quarter was over. Xiao did a full session of push-ups, and if it weren't for his teammates going back to the bench, he would have been able to continue doing it because he still didn't feel very tired.

By this time, the Clippers were already trailing by 12 points.

On the way back to the locker room, Byron Davis approached McDonleavy and he was very good at expressing his opinion: "Coach, I know you don't like Shaw, but the team needs him right now. It's clear that Elthoton and Ricky Davis aren't in form tonight, and Shaw deserves his chance! ”

Byron Davis also spoke this for the sake of chic.

But falling into McDonleavy's ears had the opposite effect. McDonleavy is a very rigid and even stubborn academic coach, and Byron Davis's words were interpreted very automatically by him as: Are you questioning my personnel scheduling? I, as the manager, still want you a player to tell me how to make a substitution? Don't I know better than you do?

McDonleavy was very unhappy, but he replied lightly on the surface: "Okay, I know." ”

He didn't want to tear up the heart of the team, so he kept his restraint.

But behind this restraint is that he transfers his anger to Xiao Shi.

Now the more others help Xiao Xiao speak, the more Dunleavy has a bad feeling for Xiao Xiao.

This has created a vicious circle, and unless that knot is cut off, it will be difficult to reconcile again.

McDonleavy's thoughts, Xiao Xiao is obviously not clear.

He returned to the bench and was still doing push-ups!
