Stern also had a headache.

originally wanted to praise Lin Dong, but he didn't think that this guy actually didn't need him to support him at all, but he had already directly upset the balance.

In particular, the supersonic elevator door tactics, combined with the outrageously accurate outside line of the supersonic speed, are simply a scoundrel.

Other teams in the league have also learned, but they don't learn it like it, they don't have that kind of advance awareness, and they don't cooperate well enough.

But supersonic speed can be used, because Sakuragi Hanamichi and Peyton, who are in charge of opening and closing the door, have too good awareness and cooperation.

Both of them were always able to stand in advance when covering, and they did not move at all under their feet, relying purely on the squeeze of their bodies to complete the closing of the door at that moment, so that the referee could not find the point of pick.

If the SuperSonics only play back and forth with other teams with this trick, or just a win rate of about 80%, Stern thinks everyone will probably put up with it, but this 100% win rate is a bit too much......

So on the day when the SuperSonics won 34 consecutive wins and broke the record, the new league regulations were released overnight.

- Added a double screen foul.

It doesn't matter if you move your feet or not, whether you are stuck in advance or not, as long as the attacker uses the cover of two people at the same time to make a profit when attacking, then blow directly.

And the introduction of the new policy obviously makes the supersonic speed, which has been smoothly adapted to 34 games, somewhat uncomfortable.

On November 24, the SuperSonics challenged the San Antonio Spurs away.

In the case of the full explosion of GDP, there is no cover of the elevator door, and the supersonic outer line that is accustomed to comfort is collectively inaccurate, and Sakuragi Hanamichi, who is used to the elevator door, is also a little confused, not only a little at a loss on the offensive end, but also because of the habitual double cover awareness, it was directly blown down by several whistles in succession.

Therefore, although Lin Dong broke out and scored 61 points, 12 rebounds and 11 assists, he still had no ability to turn the tide.

At 112:108, the Spurs ended the SuperSonics' winning streak.

And the next tough battle, the Dallas Mavericks, the supersonic outside problem has not been solved, and the feeling has not been restored, and Lin Dong is in the critical business period of renewing his contract with Under Armour, and various negotiations have consumed a lot of energy, and the momentum of the previous winning streak has been broken, so that this game only got 33 points, 12 assists and 7 rebounds.

The Mavericks relied on the play of the three musketeers to win the supersonic speed again with a big score of 18 points.

The SuperSonics' two-game losing streak and the Mavericks' big win finally relieved the entire league.

If you want to let the superSonics continue to win like this, I'm afraid that all teams are about to lose confidence in playing against the superSonics.

However, Lin Dong's endorsement contract renewal in the negotiation stage has become the focus of media attention and a new hot topic in the United States.

His endorsement contract with Under Armour runs until December 10, and some details of the negotiations have been leaked.

Under Armour prepared him a seven-year, $500 million contract.

Frankly speaking, in terms of Lin Dong's current popularity and the benefits he brings to Under Armour, 500 million US dollars in 7 years cannot match his worth.

But as we all know, Under Armour is in a period of expansion, and now there is no money at all, which should be the greatest sincerity that Under Armour can come up with, and it is also wrapped in Lin Dong's 15% Under Armour shares, if he does not sign Under Armour, Under Armour's market value will plummet, then his stocks will also depreciate immediately, and with Under Armour's current market value of nearly 10 billion, this is more than a billion US dollars, and it is also Under Armour's biggest kidnapping chip when renewing Lin Dong's contract.

It also means that if another company wants to sign Lin Dong, it will have to come up with a contract that exceeds the value of nearly $2 billion.

Although everyone knows that Lin Dong is definitely worth it, the price is too great, which discourages many big brands.

Only Nike jumped in headlong and gave a terrifying chip.

$1 billion, 3% of Nike's equity and 25% royalties on sales of all branded sales.

It's a lifetime contract.

At the same time, as long as Lin Dong is willing, Nike can also invest in the acquisition of 15% of his Under Armour equity at the current market price!

Someone roughly estimated the value of this contract,

Nike's stock market value is not much now, but it also has 22.3 billion US dollars, 3% equity means more than 600 million US dollars, counting the 1 billion lifetime endorsement contract, Lin Dong can have 1.6 billion as long as he signs it, which is far more than the value of his 15% equity in Under Armour, after all, the 15% of the stock is really going to be sold, and it is guaranteed to depreciate immediately, and it is already very good to be able to cash out half of it in the end.

And also holds a lifetime clause of 25% royalties from Nike, which is completely consistent with Michael Jordan's privileges in Nike AJ, this is the real big head, it can be said that this contract alone can make him worry about food and clothing for the rest of his life, coupled with the market value income brought by the strong alliance between Lin Dong and Nike, etc., the overall value is estimated to reach at least $5 billion within 10 years!

Even Nike also considered the value of the stock loss in Lin Dong's hands when he broke away from Under Armour, and to include this part, the long-term value of this contract has even exceeded 6 billion, which will far exceed the profit of Lin Dong and Under Armour's cooperation, unless Under Armour can kill Nike and become the No. 1 brand in the United States, but that is obviously unlikely.

It seems that Nike is iron-hearted this time, even Jordan didn't have such treatment back then...... But under armour's business miracle is a living example in front of us, which makes it impossible to question that Lin Dong is worth so much money!

Frankly, no one in the United States thinks anyone can say no to such a contract, except for Lin Dong.

Because Under Armour? Because of the so-called affection?

To have a relationship with an American businessman, Lin Dong really can't do it.

Even if he really threw away the Under Armour shares now, for Under Armour, it will still make a lot of money from a small factory to today's scale in two years, so there is no backstabbing debt at all.

There is only one reason that really makes Lin Dong hesitate, and that is the Nike brand itself.

One day he is going to return to China, and he really can't get used to eating the old American hamburger.

So if you really bind yourself and Nike to this level for life, then you must be the one who will be ruined.

Money, what I love is basketball, I don't have any business ambitions, 10 billion and 1 billion are not much different for me, they are enough.

Therefore, a short-term contract can be signed immediately, a long-term contract can be carefully considered on the issue of years, and a lifetime contract is directly exempted!

Of course, out of morality, Under Armour's side still has to talk about it first, at least with the help of Nike's sky-high contract, the pressure will be put on Under Armour, is 500 million in 7 years a little less?

No money? It doesn't matter if you don't have money, why don't we have 300 million in 2 years first? 200 million in 1 year is okay, don't just look at your sales in a year, what you Under Armour wants to look at is the market value, the overall income, and you are worth the price.

As for Nike's side, Nike rejected its short-term contract conditions last time, and now that its value has been paved enough, this time the appetite is not small, it is estimated that it will be difficult to talk, and talking about Under Armour first is also to put pressure on Nike.

Of course, if Under Armour's side can really negotiate a sky-high endorsement fee of 500 million yuan for 2 years, then continue to hang Nike for two years, and it is also a good choice to sign Under Armour first, anyway, with Mike Dawei's knee pads in hand, his career is still long, and he doesn't need to sell his body to rush to get value, because he has no accidents at all!

Lin Dong's idea is very simple, a lot of money is not much different from a lot of money, but the premise is that he must have a lot of money first!
