June 26, 8 a.m., New York JFK International Airport, Terminal 1.

"Abba, here and here. Second uncle, third uncle! ”

"Uncle Zhang, Uncle Li, are you here too? Junjie, Guoqiang, Xiao Ming, I haven't grown taller for a few years! ”

"Where's Mom and Dad? Didn't you come along? ”

The draft is about to take place, and Doon has already qualified for the Little Green House.

This is also an opportunity to show his face in front of a global and national audience, and Doon is not an orphan, so he will naturally invite his parents who are far away across the ocean to come and accompany him to participate in the draft.

Doon has the money to study in high school in the United States, and his family conditions are naturally not too bad.

Duen's hometown is in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, his father is the owner of a private enterprise that has opened several factories, and his mother is a civil servant.

Although the family's liquidity is not much, it is enough to send Dunn to study in the United States.

It is also because he doesn't want to live the unpretentious and boring life of the rich second generation, so Du En strives to become a rich generation and realize his own life value.

After learning about his parents' flight, Doon brought a BDASportsManagement staff member to pick them up.

Unexpectedly, there were a lot of people on this trip, not only relatives in Doon's family, but also his father's business partners, and some people that Doon didn't recognize, in short, there were more than ten or twenty people.

"Your mom is still at home, isn't that what you're going to be on TV?

There was a TV station that wanted to interview our family, and as soon as your mother and I made up the plan, we went our separate ways.

I brought people to cheer you on, and your mother was at home entertaining relatives, neighbors, and journalists. ”

Although Doon's father is explaining the facts, it gives people the impression that it is a bit scolding.

"That's right, son. Introduce you to a few big names, all of whom are reporters from TV stations. ”

While greetings, Doon's father suddenly changed the topic and introduced the reporters who came with him to Doon.

"Hello Dune, I'm Xinhua News Agency reporter Liang Xiyi."

"Hello Doon, I'm Jin Hang from Sohu.com."

"Hello, hello." Doon took the initiative to shake their hands.

Bill Duffy reminded Doon early on that as a public figure who is about to enter the NBA, it doesn't matter if he doesn't play well, but he must have a good relationship with media reporters.

Doon agrees with this.

Liang Xiyi and Jin Hang saw that Doon was so polite and enthusiastic about them, and they also had a good impression of Doon in their hearts.

After a few pleasantries, Doon pulled out his phone and called Bill Duffy, informing him to send a car to pick up Doon's family and friends from the airport.

In the evening, the draft was held, and Doon first took people to the pre-booked hotel to pick up friends and relatives to wash the dust for them.

After having lunch and celebrating a little, I sent the two reporters to the hotel designated by the NBA to receive reporters.

The time soon came to the evening, and Doon, dressed in a suit and leather collar, accompanied by relatives and friends, came to Madison Garden Plaza in New York, USA.

"Uncle Zhang, Uncle Li, I can only say sorry to you first.

I'm tired of you sitting in the stands, there are only five seats in the little green house.

We'll find a table closer to the stands later, and if I'm chosen, I'll come and shake your hand.

Our domestic reporters will definitely record this scene, but the American side is not very clear. ”

They are all relatives and friends, and they can fly all the way from across the ocean to accompany Doon to participate in the draft meeting, and Doon naturally wants to give them face.

It's just that the space and seating in the small green room are limited.

There are only five places for players invited to the Green Room, including themselves.

Among them, the broker has to occupy one.

Considering the difference between relatives and relatives, Doon, Doon's father, plus the second and third uncles, and the agent, a table was full.

For this reason, Doon had to explain something to the rest of his friends and relatives in advance.

When everyone heard this, they didn't show displeasure, but comforted Doon: "The stands are good." ”

"Bothering you, leave us alone."

"Come on, leave us alone. Remember, be sure to fight for us Chinese! ”

"Don't worry, I'll be drafted in the first round by an NBA team." Doon confidently said to his friends and family.

Doon's self-confidence is not without reason, the Bucks, Jazz, Lakers, Pistons, these four teams with first-round picks, have all given first-round pick commitments.

What's more, now it has entered the small green house.

"Doon, there's an interview here, could I ask you to go out?"

As soon as Doon entered the small green room with his relatives and found a seat near the stands, an official NBA staff member suddenly came and invited Doon out for an interview.

Because Bill Duffy was in the stands, accompanying other rookies with second-round pick prospects, Dhorn is now followed by just an executive at BDA.

When the other party heard that Doon was going out for an interview, he was also accustomed to it and did not stop him.

Doon said a few words to his father and the others, and then went out with the NBA staff.

However, when I came to a private room, I didn't see reporters or interview equipment.

"Doon, I'm sorry, the first time we met, it would be in this way.

To introduce myself, I'm Phil Knight, the chairman of Nike.

On behalf of Nike, I would like to extend another invitation to you.

We sincerely hope that you will join the Nike family!

This contract is specially prepared for you!

If you want, you'll get $30 million over the next five years, as well as a signature shoe just made just for you. ”

Faced with such an exciting big contract, Doon did not agree to it.

After all, who knows how many pitfalls are hidden in this tempting big contract?

Even if the sneaker contract is really fine, Doon needs to consult a professional before signing with Nike.

"Again? As far as I know, we haven't had any contact with us about sneaker contracts before. ”

"We approached your agent, Bill Duffy, but he turned it down. So, that's all we have to do. ”

Hearing Phil Knight's answer, Doon was not very satisfied, so he chose to get to the bottom of it.

"Why? I shouldn't be worth 30 million in 5 years, right? ”

You know, not long ago, Jordan personally approached Anthony and asked Anthony to sign a contract with AJ, so hard work, the sneaker contract is only 40 million for 6 years.

Considering Kobe's 6-year 48 million and Durant's 7-year 60 million, Doon's potential at this time is obviously not worthy of a big contract of 30 million in 5 years.

"We made some mistakes in negotiating a contract extension with Yao Ming.

Maybe it's because Bill Duffy feels that he is making less money and losing his interests, so he refuses to cooperate with us.

Your good brother Carmelo Anthony was brought down by Michael Jordan.

In order to make you feel sincere enough, I am here to invite you to join the Nike family. ”

Phil Knight told the truth, but he didn't fully confess to Doon.

After listening to Phil Knight's explanation, Doon took a deep breath and refused, "Thank you very much for the importance you have given me.

You're offering me a contract I can't refuse, but my life is about more than just making money.

I'm going to go back and talk to my agent and our family about what happened today.

Even, there may be a situation similar to Yao Ming behind me, and there are some things that I can't make decisions about alone.

Of course, I personally appreciate your appreciation, and I will seriously consider working with Nike when I go back.

Can you please give me a contact number? If I make a decision in the future......"

"No problem, when you figure it out, you can always text me or call me."

Phil Knight immediately pulled out his phone and exchanged contact information with Doon.

It can be seen that Phil Knight has clearly not given up on Doon's idea.

Seeing that the retreat was working, Doon politely chatted with Phil Knight before returning to the Green House.

As a traverser, Doon clearly understands that if you want to catch big fish, you must be patient!

Don't you see the king of the alliance, is it the king of Nike?

James' rookie sneaker contract is 93 million for 7 years, followed by Durant for 7 years and 60 million, which is the origin of Nike's big and small kings.

Looking at the playoffs in '18, Tatum, a rookie who grabbed seven in the Eastern Conference finals, was sent off by a black whistle for 6 fouls in the half.

Durant, who hit the seventh tiebreaker in the West, averaged 8.7 free throws per game in the series, while Curry, the Warriors' big man, averaged 2 free throws per game.

Therefore, it is actually clear whether the rocket was black-whistled by the Warriors or by Nike.

It is worth mentioning that the fake Thanos Zhan has 9.3 penalties in the East Finals and 9.5 penalties in the finals, but he still can't avoid the fate of being shaved head.

The real Thanos Zhan and the universe bravely grabbed seven, if it weren't for the black whistle, it almost made Nike and the big and small kings unable to get off the stage.

The root cause of all this is that Harden, who is Adi's top brand, has won the regular season MVP.

Once the Western Conference defeats the Universe Warriors and sweeps the Cavaliers in the Finals, then it will inevitably be a complete battle, and with the double MVP of the season and the epic record, he will become the first person in the league worthy of the name.

Once the Nike king is abandoned by Nike and Prince Adi, he will be beheaded one after another, and the Nike executives will definitely cry and faint in the toilet at that time.

Therefore, in order to prevent the Rockets from winning the championship and preventing Harden from becoming a god, the Rockets had to suffer 5 to 8 in the Western Conference finals.

This is actually the same as Jokic later, it is clear that the regular season MVP is Jokic's, but in order to prevent Jokic from becoming a god, he has to hand over the MVP to Embiid, who can't be supported.

Doon wants to win the championship, wants to be honored, and wants to get the fairness and justice he deserves, so in order to avoid being blackmailed as much as possible, he has to join the Nike League.

And in order to get Nike's attention and get enough respect, Doon must get himself a contract big enough.

Just like a bank deposit, a loan of 100,000, you are afraid of the bank, the bank is your uncle! With a loan of 1 billion, the bank is afraid of you, you are the bank uncle!

So, anyway, take a long-term view.

"Set a small goal and earn 100 million first!"
