Guard With a Knife

On the day Duger arrived in the United States, he went to the basketball training hall and had pre-draft training with Westbrook.

At this time, Nike also provided him with a professional training team and brought him a full set of training equipment.

"Long time no see, Snoopy!"

Westbrook greets Doug from a massage table in the arena.

The staff around Westbrook are all wearing Jordan apparel, and he recently reached a cooperation agreement with Jordan Brand. But the price Jordan offered was not very high, and it was almost the same as Duger's full guarantee contract.

As far as sneaker contracts are concerned, not all lottery picks can get cash endorsement contracts, and even if they can get it, it is between $200,000 and $700,000.

After all, there are a total of about 10 superstars in the NBA who have their own signature shoes. The vast majority of players are still at the level of commodity contracts: it means that the brand provides you with sneakers for free, or gives you some equipment purchase vouchers for purchasing sneakers and other products. In addition, they will probably give you an "endorsement fee" of 5,000 to 10,000 U.S. dollars.

However, the rookies in the NBA are now 'laughing' at Doug, thinking that his five-year, $88.88 million contract is the biggest joke in basketball.

"Your single entered the top ten in the United States last week. It's amazing." Westbrook fiddled with his Walkman, and then said: "Did you see the news yesterday? OJ Mayo is laughing at you , saying your endorsement contract is a joke."

When Duge was in China, he learned that the content of his contract had been exposed. At that time, Nike apologized to him, but his attitude was indifferent, because he had no intention of concealing the content of the terms.

"Is this a joke?" Duge raised his eyebrows, and he said strangely: "Isn't this a great victory on the negotiating table?"

Westbrook nodded: "For potential rookies, this is indeed a great victory. Because you not only get a good guarantee, but also ensure ample room for improvement."

"However, those who can't get the endorsement contract don't think so. They only know that your contract amount has suddenly dropped from 88.88 million US dollars to less than 5 million US dollars. Therefore, they think you are a vain person."

Doog turned around and asked the Nike trainer to give him a back release.

"Where's Kevin? Has Kevin got the endorsement contract?" Du Ge suddenly asked.

"He only got a Nike product contract. But I heard that he has been in contact with Chinese manufacturers recently, maybe he will get hundreds of thousands of dollars from a certain Chinese sports brand." Westbrook said: "Yes, The day after tomorrow I will go to the Orlando training camp. But my agent will not allow me to participate in the confrontation training.

"I don't have an agent, I just have a partner who helps me with some business stuff."

Duger said with a smile: "However, I will definitely participate in confrontational games. You know that. Under the static test, I look useless. I can only show my advantages in the game."

Westbrook raised his head, and he told Doug very seriously: "Then you have to be careful. Now many potential rookies are targeting you. Anthony Randolph and JaVale McGee have already said that if If you dare to participate in confrontational training, they will definitely complete dunks on your head!!"

"ESPN recently made a special data statistics. Through model analysis, their data experts concluded that you were the inside player with the highest defensive efficiency and the strongest ability to protect the basket in the NCAA last season, and you have never been dunked in front of you... …this report has super bouncers who have never played against you, and their agents are behind it. After all, if the news of your dunk in training camp,

Then their ranking will rise rapidly. "

Duge raised his eyebrows when he heard this, thinking that he was using me as a stepping stone.

"OK, I accept their challenge! If they want to detain me, do so."

Duger turned around and said to the Nike staff: "You can release the word that Snoopy is willing to accept full-court confrontation training with any inside player. All teams are welcome to focus on inspections!"

Westbrook looked at Doug very unexpectedly, and thought... Are you a bit exaggerated? JaVale McGee and Anthony Randolph are all super spring people.

Then, Westbrook saw Doug dunk with the ball in the training hall.

He was stunned.

Although Snoopy's breakthrough footsteps were still broken, he let out an exclamation when he lifted the ball into the air with one hand and squeezed the basketball into the basket with a little reluctance.

"Oh my god, can you grab a basketball and jump now??"

Westbrook was very shocked, in his previous cognition. The only job Snoopy can do with the basketball is to stand at the free-throw line and shoot from the spot, very slowly.

But now, he was able to break through and dunk with one hand. Although the jump height has dropped a lot because of this, it seems a bit reluctant. But this... is a great victory after all.

Before he finished speaking, Duge grabbed the basketball under the basket and soared into the sky...Boom!

He slams the basketball into the hoop.

This time, the strength, bounce and speed are much faster.

"One-handed dunks are okay," Doug told Westbrook. "But two-handed dunks are still not okay."

He still can't hold the basketball with both hands and complete the jump and dunk at the same time...even in place.

His coordination does not allow him to do such a difficult thing.

"It's great." Westbrook said from the bottom of his heart: "Even if I don't pass the ball to you in the future, you can grab and dunk yourself at the basket."

Duge smiled slightly, there are so many flaws in this sentence.

Later, Westbrook said: "When your coordination ability returns to the level where you used to jump up and down and beat Collison, you won't really become a point guard, will you?"

To be honest, he is really worried, even though the outside world is now laughing at Snoopy's "Actually, I'm a point guard." But Westbrook knows that if this guy really becomes a point guard, it will definitely be a devastating blow to the point guard position. It's as if LeBron James is redefining the small forward.
