The invincible kryptonite of basketball

"There has been a breakthrough in the sneaker contract negotiations." At this time, Fagen also came to Los Angeles and brought good news to Tang Tian.

"Now there are two companies that are willing to offer endorsement contracts worth more than one million yuan, and they both agree to a two-year contract."

With Tang Tian's way of accumulating popularity, coupled with Fei Gen's ability, the second-round show's million-dollar endorsement contract has directly turned from a dream into a reality!

"Which two?" Tang Tian asked.

"Nike, and Peak."

"Peak?" Tang Tian asked suspiciously.

Since Nike missed out on Yao Ming, it has invested heavily in Chinese players. It is not surprising that they offer millions of dollars, but Peak?

But it’s normal to think about it. In the past few years, Peak has signed Scola, Landry, Lowry and many other players by playing the Rockets card, but these are all role players, and none of them can really make them brand. Influence.

Tang Tian is Chinese, it is a new attempt for them.

"Yes, both of them offer cash contracts with the same amount, 2 million for 260 years." Fagen nodded, and by the way, gave Tang Tian a popularization of the classification of endorsement contracts.

The endorsement contract of sneakers is divided into three levels.

The first tier is the signature sneaker contract.Owning brand signature sneakers and being the spokesperson of the brand image, there are only seven people in the league now: Nike's James, Kobe and Durant; AJ's Paul and Anthony; Adidas' Ross and Reebok's Iverson.

These people's endorsement contracts vary in price, but each one is sky-high.

The second tranche is a cash contract.This is also the contract that most players in the league currently have. Take the lottery show as an example. The current market is generally signed for 3 to 4 years, and the annual salary is generally between 20 and 70. Of course, there are exceptions. Nike gave Irving 4 for 3000 years. 4, UA gave Walker 1000 million for [-] years.

As for the third tier, it is purely a commodity contract.This is the lowest level, which is basically equivalent to the sneaker company providing shoes to players for them to play. The value of the sneakers is generally between 5000 and 10000 US dollars, and there will be no cash.

After Fei Gen finished speaking, Tang Tian basically knew what he got was the second tier.

"My personal suggestion is that it is better to choose Peak, of course the final decision is in your own hands." Before Tang Tian could speak, Feigen offered to propose.

Fei Gen's behavior was a bit abnormal, Tang Tian looked at him with some doubts.

"Peak is a brand in your country, and the Chinese market is also very promising. If the cooperation is good, you may be able to have signature sneakers in the future." Fagan explained.

Tang Tian nodded, Fei Gen was right.

Among the Chinese basketball players going abroad, only Yao Ming and Yi Jianlian are highly popular players, but both of them are big men, and the sneakers of big men are generally not sold.

He is now losing weight and playing as a swingman. In the Asian market of sneakers, it is indeed of great significance. It will be a matter of course to have signature sneakers.

"Sign to Nike." But after careful consideration, Tang Tian still gave himself a choice.

"Why?" Feigen looked at him in surprise.

"Nike will also have signature sneakers." Tang Tian replied calmly.

"No, Tang, it's different. Nike's competition is too great. If Peak develops in the future, it will pay a lot of money." Fagan persuaded.

"No, I've already made a decision." Tang Tian said, he had his own ideas.

The advantage of Nike over Peak is that it is an international company, and it will do better in terms of promotion. Of course, the more important point is money. Maybe the first and second contracts Peak can give Nike similar contracts, but when it comes to real They couldn't offer it when the contract reached billions of dollars.

This is why most superstars in the league choose big companies such as Nike and Adidas.

In this regard, he doesn't need to go against the current, what he wants is to make more money and get more krypton gold value.

"Don't think about it anymore? I chatted with the people from Peak, and I know that they have invested a lot in scientific research..."

"I know." Tang Tian interrupted Fei Gen's words, the latter's initiative today was too abnormal.

"Dan, our domestic businessmen have a bad habit. They like to give gifts when they are talking about business. They don't use this trick against you, do they?" Tang Tian asked.

"No, no, as I said just now, I'm just giving advice. The specific choice is up to you." Fagan said immediately.

"Well, that's good, let's choose Nike." Tang Tian said with a smile.

When he asked Fagan like that just now, if it were an ordinary American, he would have jumped up and said something like "Why do you doubt me? You are trampling on my personality". You must know that Americans are quite sensitive about this. .

But Feigen didn't, which means he probably guessed it right.

Fagan was indeed greedy for money.

But he didn't tell the truth, he could still use Feigen's abilities, anyway, he was the one who ultimately made the decisions on these matters.

Chapter 133: Catch-and-Scorer (Korver)

Tang Tian finally chose to sign with Nike, but because there are still some details of the contract that need to be negotiated, the news has not been made public yet.

Drew is playing in the league. When there are games, the three brothers will play together, and when there are no games, they will train together.

The time came to August in a blink of an eye, Tang Tian had successfully reduced his weight to 8kg, and started the muscle building process arranged by Cecilia, which would last about a month.

After the muscle gain is completed, he will use the money from the endorsement of the sneaker contract to buy the skills of a catch and scorer (Korver), and then he will get twice the result with half the effort when he adapts.

This morning, before training started, Thompson was all smiles as soon as he entered the training hall. His expression was like a spring breeze, as if he met an unforgettable girl in a nightclub last night.

"Do you still have the strength to train?" Tang Tian couldn't help asking with a smile as this was the first time he saw Thompson's reaction like this.

"Strength?" Thompson looked at Tang Tian suspiciously.

"He said you were too tired at the nightclub last night." Walker said with a smile, Tang Tian had teased him like this before.

"You bastard." Thompson pushed Tang Tian with a smile, but he was not angry. It seemed that something really happened.

"Let's talk, what's good, let's start today's training in a good mood." Tang Tian said.

"Nike talked to my agent about the contract yesterday, and it's almost done." Thompson said.

"Good news." Tang Tian nodded.

"Just good news? Guess how much?" Thompson said mysteriously.

"I can't guess." Tang Tian shook his head.

"4 million in 280 years! Don, I won you again!" Thompson said a little excitedly.

In the past two months, he has lost to Tang Tian every day in the three-point game, but this momentum has changed since the draft. His pick is higher than Tang Tian, ​​and now he has received the endorsement contract before Tang Tian. He won't lose the three-pointer again.

"I..." Tang Tian hesitated to speak. He felt that it was inappropriate to reveal the fact that he also accepted the endorsement contract and was older than Thompson at this time.

Walker couldn't help laughing on the sidelines.

"Let's play three-pointers," Thompson said suddenly, really wanting to confirm that everything had changed.

"Now?" Tang Tian was a little surprised. If he hadn't started training, his body wouldn't be too accurate.

"Yes." Thompson said that he had gone to the three-point line.

Tang Tian walked over, Thompson was going to score three points, and he would accompany him at any time.

Thompson shot first and only scored 25 of 15 goals. It is true that the shooting rate will not be too high if there is no activity.

Tang Tian continued to shoot. His shots were not too accurate, but he still scored 25 out of 19 goals.

Without any suspense, Tang Tian defeated Thompson again.

"Impossible, why?" Thompson held his head in his hands, with an expression of incomprehension.

Walker couldn't help laughing on the sidelines.

"Kemba, what are you laughing at?" Thompson rolled his eyes at him.

"No, it's nothing." Walker suppressed a smile. He watched Thompson being abused by Tang Tian every day, and he probably guessed that Thompson's confidence came from the sneaker endorsement contract.

"It's really nothing?" Thompson looked straight at him.

"Really not." Walker tried hard to hold back his laughter.

"Don't you say that I let Uncle Mike ignore you." Thompson pulled out Procopio.

"No, do you really want to say it?" Walker hurriedly waved his hand.

"Say."

"Okay, you asked me to say, actually... Tang signed the endorsement contract a week ago." Walker could only speak at last.

"What? Why don't I know?" Thompson felt that life was a bit dark.

"Because the details of the contract have not been negotiated, and I only know because I have the same agent as him." Walker spread his hands and raised them, saying that this is what you have to let me say.

"What company? How much?" Thompson asked.

"Really?" Walker couldn't bear to hit Thompson.

But seeing Thompson's threatening expression, he said it right away.

"2 years, 260 million, from Nike."

2 million in 260 years, or 1 million in 130 year, almost twice as much as Thompson.

"come.on!" Thompson reached out and patted his head.

He really had an illusion in front of him...

"The Chinese market was considered in my contract, so in fact we are almost the same, Clay." Tang Tian comforted.

"Yes, we are tied this time, but I won't lose to you in the NBA." Thompson also knew that Tang Tian was comforting him. After all, even if it was a tie, he was the 11th pick, and Tang Tian was the 31st pick. But he was in a good mood and recovered immediately.

"Well, I'm waiting for that day." Tang Tian nodded.

This is just a small episode of training. Although Thompson was hit, he has a good temper and a strong mental capacity. After a while, he began to train hard again, preparing to make a comeback for himself in the NBA.

A few days later, Nike and Tang Tian successfully signed a contract and announced the news to the public.

Although the specific endorsement amount will not appear in Nike's official news, but this kind of thing will inevitably leak from insiders.

Social media is buzzing again.

"2 years and 260 million! Please note, this is a rookie with the 31st pick! Tang is really incredible!"

"I feel sorry for a wave of Kawhi Leonard. They are all rookies I stabbed. I heard that he is only 50 a year (#￣～￣#)"

"I also heard that Klay Thompson is only 70 a year (#￣～￣#)"

"Normally, the salary of Lotto Show's endorsement contract this year is estimated to be at the level of 50 to 100 million."

"Haha, my Connecticut husky is the biggest winner this year!"

"As a Duke fan, firmly boycott the huskies!"

"North Carolina fans support upstairs!"

"Arizona fans silently go up."

"Kentucky fans passing by silently watching."

……

Although it was still all kinds of crooked buildings, they could clearly feel that Tang Tian's constant exposure had already made them remember the name completely.

The rookies of the Spurs have always kept a low profile, but Tang Tian changed the fan's stereotype and became Tang Tian, ​​a Spurs rookie who is not low-key.

The signing fee for the endorsement contract is paid once a year. Shortly after Tang Tian signed the contract, there was an extra 67.7 US dollars in his account.

The annual endorsement fee of 130 million, after deducting the federal tax and the commission of the broker, as well as the city tax and medical insurance, is almost the same money (Texas is exempt from state tax).

(Note: The agent's commission in the endorsement contract will be much higher than in the contract, and Feigen's commission is around 20%.)

Tang Tian pulled out the system interface again, and his krypton gold value also skyrocketed from the original 2 to 3.

He had a goal earlier, so he directly chose to exchange for the catch scorer (Korver) at this moment.

Just after he redeemed this skill, some changes occurred on his attribute panel.
