Chapter 44

James finally scored double against the bucks.

After the whole game, he played for 28 minutes, made 6 of 12 shots, scored 17 points, 4 rebounds, 6 assists and 1 blocked shot, leading the Cavaliers to beat the Bucks 97-93.

The media commented on his performance in the game as only passing, but far from excellent.

People obviously have higher expectations for the No. 1 draft, especially for James, a basketball genius who was said to be the son of choice all day before participating in the draft. They have higher expectations and requirements, which can not be dismissed by scoring double points.

Most media reporters still think Anthony is better than James.

In the next few preseason games, James scored double points, but the playing time was not as much as the third game. The most one was only 20 minutes. In that game, they played at home against the Raptors. James got 15 points, 3 rebounds and 4 assists.

The Cavaliers' last game of the preseason was an away game against the Los Angeles Lakers.

This battle for James, not exactly, is expected for Chu fan.

Because he can see his idol Kobe.

Before he crossed, he had been to the scene of Kobe's China trip and met Kobe.

Well, from a distance, there were too many people on the scene. He couldn't squeeze in at all. He had to climb up a tree and see Kobe Bryant in the view.

Then the branch he was standing on broke with a click, because another guy jumped up. He was still a fat man. The branch couldn't bear the weight and broke directly.

Fortunately, he saw the opportunity quickly and jumped away, otherwise he would have to fall like the fat man.

Even if Chu fan fantasizes again, he can't imagine that one day he can enter the NBA and compete with Kobe Bryant on the basketball court.

So Chu fan is looking forward to the end of this preseason.

Similarly, the system is also looking forward to, looking forward to giving him a new task: throw a ball under Kobe's defense, and after completion, you will be rewarded with 8 gold coins. If the task fails, you will be punished, and you won't get experience value in training within one month.

In order to perform in front of idols and complete system tasks, Chu fan must first convert the experience value accumulated in the past half a month into ability value through the system to improve his strength.

Experience value: 393

Gold coin: 2

Attack value: 36

Defense value: 23

Assists: 14

390 experience points can increase 13 ability points.

He planned to improve his offensive ability to complete the task, so he added all 13 points to the offensive value, from 36 to 49.

After dealing with these.

He got another call from his agent David.

"LeBron, Nike has seen your performance in the preseason and contacted me. Are they willing to raise the offer and sign with us?"

"Oh? Really? " James's tone was faint, because he had long thought that the endorsement contract did not exist, and he no longer expected to make a profit from the endorsement contract. Now his goal has changed and become more spiritual pursuit, rather than that vulgar material pursuit.

What a vulgar life to pursue money alone, huh.

Of course, he won't admit that if the price offered by the other party is high, he can still be vulgar.

After vulgarity, it is for better spiritual pursuit.

David didn't expect that James didn't have half a surprise in his tone. Now that others have found it back, it should be a little happy, and the endorsement contract is really not small.

"How much are they willing to improve?" James asked one more question.

"Ten million dollars to sign with us for four years." David said with a little excitement.

"No talk." James said lightly.

"But this is really a good offer." David is in a hurry.

Because he knows that although $10 million in four years is much worse than $93 million in seven years, it is really not bad for the current NBA, and it can be regarded as a good shoe endorsement contract.

The annual amount of the first endorsement contract signed by NBA lottery rookies is generally between $200000 and $700000.

Last year's No. 1 player Yao Ming, even with his back to China and great popularity, Nike is only willing to provide him with a four-year contract of $1.6 million.

Of course, it also has something to do with his being a center. After all, the center doesn't sell shoes, and his ability to carry goods can't compare with the front guard players. Nike naturally depresses the price.

But now James can get the endorsement contract of $10 million in four years, which is three times higher than the offer of $3 million in four years.

This is also the highest price he is willing to quote among the shoe brands he has contacted.

Nike has changed its mind and is willing to offer a high price for three reasons. On the one hand, it is due to David's efforts,

On the other hand, we can see that James' performance in the preseason is quite different from that in the summer league, which has been greatly improved,

The third is because James has accumulated a lot of popularity since high school.

The latter two reasons are the most important. Otherwise, if he can deceive the dead to live, Nike will not offer more money.

No one wants to do a unprofitable business.

So David wants James to agree to sign with Nike. He also thinks James will agree to sign.

Ten million dollars is not a small amount.

I just didn't expect James to be "no talk".

"LeBron, do you want to think about it again? This quotation is the highest quotation given by all brands I have contacted. " David wants to fight again.

"Needless to say, I won't consider it without more than 100 million. Before 93 million, I thought the offer was low. " Chu fan rubbed James' face and said.

He crossed over from 2019. Naturally, he knew that Nike had made a lot of money in signing James.

Of course, no one can surpass the 93 million rookie sneaker contract, even in 2019.

But Chu fan still thinks that even if a 100 million endorsement contract, with Lao Zhan's stable position as the first person in the Alliance for many years in the future, it is still a relatively cheap endorsement contract.

"Really don't think about it anymore? If they withdraw this offer, your rookie season is likely to wear different brands of shoes to play. " David shook his head at the other end of the phone.

"Don't think about it. Tell me when they bid more than 100 million, or when other brands bid more than 100 million. As for the rookie season, it doesn't matter. I'm willing to spend some time waiting for a suitable contract to appear. I don't want to work as a child labor and sign a cheap child labor contract. " James said firmly.

"Well, well, I know what to do." David hung up helplessly.
