Zhao Yong got on the bus after attending the press conference.

They need to rush to the next place to challenge another opponent, the Pelicans.

....

....

That night, the news of Zhao Yong's beating of Embiid was on the hot search list again.

Zhao Yong has become the hottest newcomer in the NBA recently.

A second-round pick, a yellow race, in the absence of favoritism, broke out several times in a row to help the team win.

The last time this kind of plot appeared was Jeremy Lin, and the period when Jeremy Lin broke out was called "Lin Madness".

Zhao Yong clearly has a crazy tendency.

The media called "Crazy Flying Pig" is coming!!

This is not a joke, and the nickname given to Zhao Yong by the media is Fliggy.

At the beginning, Barkley was known as flying pig in the air, but now Zhao Yong is even better, with better weight and higher flying!

The NBA, Boston PR, and the Chinese media all need Zhao Yong's deeds to expand their influence.

One by one, they are all contributing to the fire!

The NBA officially announced that Zhao Yong will be selected for the Rookie Challenge at All-Star Weekend in February this year.

Zhao Yong was not supposed to appear on the NBA Rookie Challenge, but he was so domineering in these games that the league had to put his name on it.

Media outlets, including Boston Today, the Los Angeles Times, and CBS Sports, believe that Zhao Yong has the qualifications to be selected directly by the league.

Bryant tweeted: "My family and I were on vacation, and I happened to watch today's game, and I want to say, Zhao, well done, keep it up like this!" ”

Kobe Bryant has paid little attention to basketball since he retired, and his social remarks like this are enough to show that he really paid attention to Zhao Yong.

Larry Bird also said: "Boston has ushered in a tough insider, I like it, Zhao is very bloody. ”

Isaiah Thomas said: "Zhao is so popular, he is probably the most popular player in recent years, and many people can see a shadow of himself in him. ”

Olajuwon: "Zhao, come to my training camp in the summer to improve and give you a 5% discount, haha, man, just kidding, your inside skills are great, you don't need to practice." ”

O'Neal tweeted: "The traditional interior line will usher in the glory of recovery, and Zhao can let the current group of three-point executives see how the previous interior line played." ”

The New York Times: "Boston welcomes Zhao Crazy!! ”

USA Today: "The traditional inside line is recovering, and Zhao Yong dominates the basket." ”

Boston Sports: "The counterattack of the second-round show, the inspirational new idol of basketball!! ”

"Miami Sentinel": "4 games and 20+ made the whole league recognize Zhao Yong!" Flying Pigs are coming! Will he be the next Charles Barkley? ”

...

All the celebrities and the media spoke out after this game to help Zhao Yong enhance his influence.

The direct result of this is that Zhao Yong's Douyin fans have also exceeded 2 million.

Then some manufacturers began to contact Zhao Yong's agent team to discuss commercial endorsements.

When Zhao Yong landed in New Orleans, he received a plan from his agent to talk about these endorsements.

Zhao Yong's agent is Jeff Schwartz, a well-known agent in the NBA.

Compared with Durham, Andy Miller and others, Jeff Schwartz is not an old qualification in the NBA agent circle.

But Jeff Schwartz has a good eye for people, such as Isiah Thomas and Whiteside are his clients, and now both of them are representatives of inspirational players.

After Schwartz entered the NBA, he used his clients Kidd, Odom and Pierce to accumulate clients, and after these three big names either retired or grew old, Schwartz reached a new stage.

He has big names such as Love, Aldridge, Griffin, Whiteside, Isiah Thomas, Drummond, Harrison Barnes and many more.

Schwartz has been busy, helping the likes of Love, Aldridge and Middleton, Whiteside, Drummond and Harrison Barnes get their contracts and his players are paying a total of $286 million a year this season.

Zhao Yong was originally a marginal player in Jeff Schwartz's hands, and his attention was average, and it was not until the recent resurgence of popularity that Jeff Schwartz's attention was refocused on him.

Zhao Yong gave him a 4% commission from his agent.

Jeff Schwartz treats players very well compared to Fagan, Rich and Paul.

According to memory, Zhao Yong's relationship with Jeff Schwartz is indeed great.

Zhao Yong was selected by the Celtics, and he also had a part of the credit for his operation.

It's just that if Zhao Yong's performance was too bad before, he wouldn't be able to help much...

"Zhao, a manufacturer called "Kidney Treasure" came to me and said that he wanted you to endorse him, what do you think? ”

"What industry?" Zhao Yong suspected that he had misheard.

"Men's health supplements." Jeff Schwartz said.

"Jeff, are there any other manufacturers that offer offers?" Zhao Yong was silent for a while and said.

"Jetu Bang is looking for me, too." Jeff Schwartz said.

"Is that commonly used condom brand?" Zhao Yong asked.

"Yes." Jeff Schwartz also said with some embarrassment.

"Anything else?" Zhao Yong asked.

"Comfort brand" men's underwear, medicine "Viagra", for the time being, these 4. Schwartz said.

"Are there any more high-end brands, such as Ferrari, Lamborghini or Rolex?" Zhao Yong asked without giving up.

Why is he different from other crossings, after playing a good performance, it is all luxury brands seeking endorsements.

All the brands that came to him were "health care", "contraception", "underwear" and so on.

Zhao Yong felt that if he took these brands, his external image might become a spoof.

In the future, domestic TV stations will play these every day, and maybe they will become the editing material of station B in the future....

Hearing Zhao Yong's words, Schwartz was silent for a while and said, "Zhao, do you think these brands will come to you?" ”

Jeff Schwartz really wants to say, don't you know what he is trying to do? But he still held back, showing a sense of service with high emotional intelligence.

"Okay, I got it." Zhao Yong replied.

The fantasy is very happy, the reality is cruel, and his fame is still not enough.

A large part of the reason is that except for Da Yao, almost no yellow players can gain a foothold in the NBA, and there are still many people in the outside world who firmly believe that Zhao Yong is just a flash in the pan.

Of course, the situation is still much better now than before the crossing.

Before the crossing, Zhao Yong was not favored by manufacturers, and his shoes were the kind of "Merch contract" for marginal players

The so-called "Merch" contract can be roughly understood as the provision of equipment in the amount of $5,000 to $10,000 to these marginal players (even players who have failed the draft to enter the second division and marginal players of small-ball city teams).

These pieces of equipment are commonly known as "team shoes", that is, team models.

Zhao Yong has not been in the NBA for a long time, and domestic sneaker manufacturers are also in contact, but because of influence issues, the offer they provide is too low, and it has not yet been finalized.

In addition to this sneaker endorsement.

Zhao Yong was given temporary endorsements by several scattered domestic manufacturers, which still rubbed his reputation as selected.

With poor performance in the NBA, fewer and fewer brands are coming to them.

In general, Zhao Yong's endorsement advertising fee is only about 100,000 US dollars.

None of those high-quality, long-term endorsements.

The scarcity of endorsements has also made Zhao Yong's economy very tight, and he is not even as good as domestic CBA players in this regard.

Of course, Zhao Yong also knows that all this will change over time, but the magnitude of the change will be determined by his performance on the court.

"Zhao, do you want to accept these endorsements?"

"If you don't pick it up, how can you pick it up? Don't I want to lose face? ”

"Really don't pick up? Then I'll push them off. ”

"What price did they give?"

"It's about $300,000 to $800,000, which adds up to about $1.5 million before taxes."

"Then take it."

"What about your face...."

"No way, they give too much."

“OK！”

"By the way, only sign for one year, not for a long time."

"Okay."
