Although it was only an exhibition match, it still had a big impact on many players from both teams after the game.

Sakuragi Hanamichi didn't make any waves in the Dragon Kingdom and the United States, although there were a few wonderful shots, but under the aura of Lin Dong and Peyton, it was naturally not worth mentioning.

However, it has become a fierce fire in Japan, and the dunk action pictorial of receiving Lin Dong's pass is now everywhere on the streets of Japan, and I heard that there are already large Japanese companies looking for him to talk about commercial endorsements, but according to Anzai's father's explanation, he was pushed away by that guy in one breath.

On the one hand, of course, because of money, Coach Anzai obviously sees the potential of Sakuragi Hanamichi, and now Sakuragi, who has not yet begun to gain muscle and weight, is more often just relying on intuition and the opponent's misjudgment of him to take advantage of it, although the defensive skills have been practiced a lot, but you can neither play against the top superstars like Payton, go to the top on defense, and have not yet won honors such as championship rings, that person's prestige and commercial value are extremely limited, and now go to sign various long-term contracts, Sakuragi Hanamichi is the least cost-effective, because in a year or two at most, his commercial value will definitely be much higher than it is now, and there is no need to lock himself up with a low-priced contract in advance.

On the other hand, it was also because of the last trip to the United States that Coach Anzai saw Sakuragi's confusion about finances, such a teenager who didn't know money yet, giving him too much money at once, would make him lose his way, and he couldn't establish correct values.

To put it bluntly, he has no concept of money, and he is in a period of low value, does not sign any contract, does not endorse any products, and focuses all his energy on basketball itself, Mitsuyoshi Anzai feels that this is the best protection for Sakuragi Hanamichi.

…………

Jordan, of course, is as popular as ever, and at the age of 39, he has kept the bottom line of the American basketball world, and finally let the Asian little devil who has been blown into the sky by the United States collapse the arena, so that except for Seattle, all the American fans who are following this game are ruthlessly refreshed.

It has to be the god of basketball!

And Lin Dong, who was able to score 68 points in the initial performance of the confrontation with Jordan, although he inevitably became Jordan's background board in the end, this performance and data are still enough to make all the people who are waiting to see his jokes secretly frightened.

These guys suddenly understood that LeBron and other young people who were once sprayed with could fight against such a monster, and who else in the United States could fight?

People don't go to the youth level when they debut, but they go to the top level of the NBA, and what kind of dominance this guy can have in the future is really scary and unimaginable.

So unsurprisingly, it became a fierce fire.

Several domestic commercial endorsements came to the door with contracts and cash as soon as the competition ended the next day, but most of Lin Dong refused.

There's no way not to refuse......

Having just joined the WTO, these domestic businesses have not yet opened their horizons, and obviously do not know much about a mature marketing model, nor do they seem to know much about the value of a superstar.

The price is too low is a unified problem, millions of dragon coins want to buy Lin Dong's exclusive endorsement rights in a certain industry, there is no concept of year, it is directly for life, and even feels that he has given a lot, isn't this...... There is no need to talk about it.

What makes Lin Dong even more speechless is that it also involves a lot of false propaganda.

For example, some copycat enterprises, such as the liquor industry with the trademark of 'Maotai', boast to themselves that this is a state guest liquor...... Lin Dong was speechless, did he feel that he was studying abroad and didn't know how Moutai's Mao characters were written?

There are even instant noodle companies such as Master Kong, who shoot advertisements for 6 million, and actually design promotional lines for themselves, saying that they are not used to eating Japanese food in Japan, so they can only eat Master Kong's instant noodles, and they unexpectedly grow so tall......

Not to mention that Lin Dong, who is in the next generation, knows Master Kong's background, even if he doesn't know, this kind of false advertising will not be accepted.

Most of the other endorsements are also like this, or there are all kinds of problems, Lin Dong simply pushed it off, the market of the Dragon Kingdom is very huge, but it can wait for development and development.

In the end, only one endorsement contract was signed.

One is the endorsement of the Bank of Communications, which signs a 3-year contract, and only needs to attend the commercial activities of the Bank of Communications once a year in the off-season, and agrees to the right of the Bank of Communications to use his portrait for publicity.

The money is not too much and not too little, but it can be accepted or not, but since it is a contract taken by Lao Lin, he coaxed his son with a smile...... Even if this is to give Lao Lin a face, if he doesn't sign, he has to sign it, anyway, it is a commercial activity once a year, and the time is basically set by himself, and it will not delay anything.

………………

Of course, some people are happy, and naturally some people are worried.

It's just an exhibition game, and losing shouldn't be a problem, but Starkerhouse, as the first unlucky guy in NBA history, is still causing trouble for no reason.

The Wizards in the second game, Da Yao did not get strong support at both ends of the offensive and defensive ends, which made Starkerhouse bear a lot of infamy and ridicule, especially many Washington fans who are still nostalgic for Hamilton, began to take the results of Yao Ming and Hamilton in the playoffs, compared the performance of Da Yao with Stackhouse, scolded him worthless, and even began to encourage the Washington Wizards to trade Stackhouse and find a new love.

Frankly, Starkerhouse was wronged.

In the first game, he met a super rookie who could compete with Jordan, and he was disgraced and unimposing, and at the end, because of his poor overall condition, he was found in him by another rookie who was a defensive geek.

Jordan and Lin Dong used him as a background board, and even an inexplicable second-round show came to use him as a background board?

Stackhouse was holding his breath to prove himself in Game 2.

But after Jordan didn't play, he was targeted by Lin Dong and Payton, who had nothing to do.

The former is the monster who can play against the basketball god in the first game of his rookie season, and the latter is the best defensive point guard in history who has defended the basketball god to the point of almost doubting his life.

The two of them were left and right, one front and one behind, so that Stackhouse almost already had a kind of shadow of being LJ by them, and there was a red-haired one next to him who came to tease him from time to time, slap him, block him or something.

Nima ...... How does this make him play? He's not Jordan!

was beaten by the supersonic in the strictest way, and at the end he had to be scolded by the fans the most, and he had to take the blame, but he was just a three-man of the Wizards......

Starkerhouse has just come to the Wizards and already has a feeling of being loveless, and even feels that his ass is not yet hot, but it seems that he is at risk of being traded for an owner, and the title of the most unlucky tough guy in history is well deserved.

And the supersonic side......

"Got it, got it, reinforced! A quasi-All-Star interior liner, OK?! ”

Schulz patted his chest and assured Payton, "DeAndre of the Suns? Rashid of the Trailblazers? I'll talk! As long as the team produces results, even if it is the postman of the Jazz, I will get it for you! ”

As soon as he heard Schultz's words, Peyton knew it was unreliable.

…… Although Payton is well aware of the infinite possibilities of the future of the supersonics, he is not young after all, and he does not know how many more seasons he can play, and how long he can maintain his peak form, he wants to lift the championship trophy with his own hands, and even win more championships, rather than waiting for this young supersonic team to grow up and retire himself.

Therefore, using the supersonic inside of this exhibition game as an excuse to let Lin Dong score 68 points in the first game is the best opportunity for Schulz to strengthen the team.

Both DeAndre and Rashid did pretty well last season, at a quasi-All-Star level, but those two are now the core players of their respective teams, and you can dig them up.

The postman is even more ridiculous, the 39-year-old postman is purely retired in the Jazz, although he still had a good performance last season, but that is due to his familiarity with the Jazz's system, its style of play and the proportion of ball possession, etc., which are completely incompatible with today's supersonics, not to mention the style of the postman, I am afraid that there is a high probability that the Jazz will end up, and he will not run to the supersonic speed for a little money.

Saying this, it is clear that it is perfunctory.

If you look at it from the team's point of view, what Payton wants most is actually O'Neal Jr. for the Pacers.

That guy was two points ahead of the Wizards last season, and was beaten by Yao Ming, who led the team by a single core, and stopped in the first round, which happened to be in the contract period, which obviously caused some salary conflicts between the team and O'Neal Jr., and now the new season is about to start, but the contract has not been signed there, which is a corner that may be leveraged.

But Schulz didn't say a word, obviously because O'Neill Jr. was too expensive, and in the case that Supersonic currently has no exchangeable assets, if he wants to get O'Neill Jr., I'm afraid he needs more cash support.

Schulz is now aggressively expanding his business territory in the Dragon Kingdom, and the financial chain is tight, and he is purely reluctant to spend more money on the team.

Speaking of which...... In the two or three days after the exhibition match, the team basically followed Schulz to 'rush to the field', in addition to the two local business activities in Yanjing, they also went to Lin'an City, which is the second store that Schulz has finished renovating and is preparing to open.

Thanks to Lin Dong's current fame, on the day of its opening, it was even more popular than Yanjing's International Trade Building, and it is said that many fans actually lined up outside the store as early as the night before.

The millions of terrifying sales not only kept more than 20 store assistants busy all day, but also many fans bought 'coffee beans' that were not fashionable in Dragon Country at this time in order to get an event ticket or a signed commemorative card, and emptied the inventory of several trucks of Starbucks that Starbucks moved the night before......

Frankly speaking, this kind of popularity, Schulz has opened so many coffee shops in Seattle and across the United States, and I really haven't seen it once.

This made him excited, and he had completely forgotten the 'trading reinforcement' that Peyton talked about every day, and also increased the original expected expansion of 50 stores this year to 150 stores.

Because this involves another step of his plan, which is to list in Dragon Country as soon as possible, and if he wants to get the listing qualification of the exchange, this requires a large enough store scale in Dragon Country.

In short, the unprecedented success of the two stores made him see the potential and huge consumer market of Longguo, and he wanted to do a big one!

So much so that when the team returned to Seattle after the vacation, Schulz did not return with the team, and he also had to fly to the magic capital, Guangzhou and many first-tier cities to go on field trips, although he did not need to personally select the site and operate the details, but this city ran down, Payton estimated that by the end of the season, his own owner was afraid that he would not be able to return to Seattle.

“……”

Seeing that his boss is now completely indifferent to the team, Payton is also a little emotional.

This season, I can only count on myself and Lin Dong to bring a large group of newcomers.

Reaching the playoffs, with Lin Dong's competitive spirit, Payton feels that it is not a big problem, but if he wants better results or championships...... I'm afraid it's a bit tough.

What's even more infuriating is that he is a year older, but he has to wait for Chandler, Sakuragi Hanamichi, and Iguodala to grow up.

Ay...... Is there any rich man who is willing to buy the team? Let Schulz, a money fan, stay in Long Guoan and earn his money with peace of mind, this whole team can't see his boss all year round, what kind of team are you playing!

Wait online, it's in a hurry!
