Doon made money, but also got busy.

Doon's original plan to stay in Los Angeles in the summer to practice alone had to be disrupted.

Because I signed a lot of endorsements and needed to fulfill the contract, I had to spare a few days to cooperate with sponsors and shoot some print or TVC commercials.

One of the most important is naturally Nike's advertising.

Knowing that Nike intends to gather James, Anthony and Doon, Doon even took the initiative to give Nike a plan.

Who is the most talented player? It's James! Who is the most favored player by God? It's Anthony! But who is the hardest worker? It's Doon!

It's a pity that Nike executives can see at a glance that Doon is careful.

After all, James and Anthony are also cash cows selected by Nike and AJ, and it is impossible to act as a cushion for others at will in order to market and elevate Doon.

In the end, the next TVC commercial is still a scene with equal emphasis on three people.

The content of the advertisement only introduces some of the different jerseys and sneakers worn by the trio when filming the commercial, as well as other sports equipment under the Nike brand.

As for the personal signature shoes, it will take at least half a year.

After receiving Nike's notice, Doon had to rush to Nike's headquarters in Portland for the next TVC commercial shoot.

At the agreed filming location, a private basketball gym in Portland, Doon met Anthony again, but the relationship between the two seemed to have become less intimate than it had been.

Anidon arrived at the arena first, but not too long before Doon.

When Doon noticed Anthony, Anthony was still tying his shoes.

It was also a coincidence that as soon as Doon looked over, Anthony tied his shoelaces. So, as soon as Anthony looked up, the two looked at each other, but neither of them spoke at the first time.

I'm most afraid of the sudden silence in the air! The atmosphere at this time was a little awkward. Obviously, Doon and Anthony have a lot of estrangement with each other.

At this moment, there is a faint feeling that the king is not the king, or that he is a stranger.

In fact, it has been more than a month since the last time the two met, and the two have had a lot of phone exchanges in the middle.

However, the NBA is Vanity Fair, and even if the regular season has not yet started, as long as there is competition and conflict of interest, the former brotherhood may fade.

It's like the classic slip of the tongue - I'm afraid of my friend's hardship, and I'm afraid that my friend will drive a Land Rover.

Anthony was originally a very competitive person, and at one point he had to compete with James for the title of top pick.

Recently, Doon has overshadowed Anthony, and Bill Duffy has blown the wind in his ears and made a hindrance......

Even if Anthony personally told Doon that he had no mustard in his heart and was happy with Doon's achievements, I am afraid that no one would believe it.

Brothers will turn against each other because of interests, not to mention former teammates with different skin colors who have only been together for a year!

"Melon, don't come unharmed."

In the end, it was Doon who broke the silence first.

It doesn't matter if Doon recognizes Anthony as a brother or not, and it doesn't matter if Anthony recognizes Doon as a brother or not.

The important thing is to find a time in the future, find a team, and play brother basketball together!

Why did Doon have this idea? That's naturally because Anthony's personal strength is really strong!

Judging the personal strength of stars, just looking at the NBA is actually a bit one-sided. To really look at the strength of the stars in a comprehensive way, you have to look at the World Championships.

After all, NBA rules are in favor of stars, especially outside stars who are good at breaking through. After all, the league relies on outside stars to attract fans and make money.

Therefore, a star who does not have two brushes will look unaccustomed to the world championships.

And to continue to maintain dominance in the World Championship and become an unsolvable killer, it depends on Jordan, Barkley, Anthony, Wade, and Durant.

In '08, Kobe Bryant was very well-rounded in the Olympics, but the firepower on the offensive end was not as inexplicable as the NBA.

Or that Kobe Bryant's style of play makes his offensive efficiency less prominent. He showed more of an offensive and defensive side at the Olympics.

James has played several Worlds and has accumulated okay data, but the specific content of the game gives people the feeling that Wiggins is playing on the court, except for the fast break, there is no sense of existence.

Defense aside, it was Anthony's killing at Worlds that made Doon realize the true strength of Anthony's offense.

One thing to say, the universe Yong also needs to be equipped with a Durant, who can stand up and play alone at critical moments.

Although the Warriors get the same salary, it is also possible to sign an All-Star small forward and form a championship-winning team. But with Durant, it's undoubtedly more stable than nothing.

Doon knows very well in his heart that even if he is relatively happy with the Los Angeles Lakers now, he will definitely have to start from scratch and find another career in the future.

Even if Kobe Bryant can tolerate him, Lakers owner Buss Sr. can't afford to continue to compete for the championship.

On the contrary, it is the New York Knicks, who are a little rotten, but every year the luxury tax, the first salary in the league every year.

It's the same big city, it's the same big family, after Doon left the Lakers, why didn't he find Anthony to play brother basketball?

Anthony eats the ball and has a problem with his defensive attitude, while Doon can play without the ball and can provide defense.

As long as Anthony can stand up and single at critical moments, improve the stability of the team's key balls.

Doon for more championships, more honors, and yet he can't make sacrifices?

It's a big deal, when it comes to the finals, it's just a little bit of operation.

It's too obvious and disgusting, and Doon won't do it, but it's okay to staggered peak travel and brush more gorgeous data, right?

Also for the sake of the future, Doon took the initiative to reconcile with Anthony.

Anthony didn't pretend to be a stranger, and when Doon stepped forward, Anthony also showed the smile of the sunny and cheerful big boy of the past, and opened his hands to give Doon a big hug.

Doon and Anthony didn't have any conflicts, they were teammates who won the championship together, what could happen?

At most, because Doon was too showy and signed a bigger contract with Nike, Anthony would inevitably be envious and jealous.

What's more, the one who hates Doon even more than Anthony is Doon's previous agent, Bill Duffy.

The agent's commercial commission is higher than the player's contract commission, usually up to 20% or more.

If Bill Duffy participated in the whole process of Doon's signing with Nike, he would be able to get 10 million US dollars.

It is precisely because of this that Bill Duffy will inevitably be disgruntled with Doon and then exert some influence on Anthony.

After a few heads-up games, Anthony finally understood how powerful Doon was, and knew that Doon was no longer the little brother who was with him at the beginning, but did have the strength to compete with him.

Doon also used these heads-up to reconcile with Anthony, and then gradually learned about Bill Duffy's sowing discord between them.

In order to ensure the future of the brothers' basketball plan, Doon reminded Anthony of his own appearance, suggesting that Anthony fire Bill Duffy.

Anthony was a little hesitant about this, saying that Bill Duffy knew his family and talked to him about a lot of endorsements.

In the past few years, getting along is not only a relationship between players and agents, but also a relationship between family and friends.

Good words are hard to convince damn ghosts, Doon didn't do much entanglement, and after filming the commercial, he separated from Anthony again.

After filming the Nike commercial, Doon had nothing else to do, and the next thing was to return to Los Angeles and continue to practice hard.

With the help of ESPN, videos of Doon's hard training were officially circulated online, and local media in Los Angeles often followed suit.

Perhaps influenced by Doon, Malone and Payton also came to the Toyota Center early in early August.

On the one hand, there is nothing to do, so start training in advance to ensure the state of next season.

On the other hand, it is also to observe Doon closely, and even point at Doon himself to help Doon correct the deficiencies of defense and offense.

In the blink of an eye, it was mid-August, and Ma Long's mother died of a heart attack, and Ma Long had to go back to mourn.

Peyton followed Doon to practice hard for half a month, but he could only "it, this young man", lamenting that the years were unforgiving.

After realizing that the consumption was too high, which could increase the risk of injury next season, Payton stopped early and switched to self-cultivation.

In the next month and a half, I occasionally came to the Toyota Center to guide Doon to play and pass the time.

It is worth mentioning that towards the end of August, Doon finally met the troubled Kobe.

But I'm not familiar with each other, basically we meet, it's just a polite hello between colleagues, and then say goodbye.

Occasionally, I get distracted, pass by strangers, and don't say hello.

There's nothing to talk about, and when I get to the stadium, I'm here to practice, not to chat.

Besides, Kobe Bryant has little interest in Doon, a rookie, and just wants to get out of the lawsuit and save his marriage and family during this time.

Therefore, Doon and Kobe Bryant are just going the opposite way after all, and they are just practicing their own ......
