Chapter 193: Take the magic lightly, fight the Heat again

   Chapter 197 Take the magic lightly and fight the Heat again

   8 million yuan for 4 years, which is the fee for Gatorade to invite Wang Zelin to be the spokesperson.

   Of course, this is only the initial contract. If Wang Zelin has no problem, he can discuss with him for more in-depth cooperation.

Hearing this, Wang Zelin understood that the price of this contract still had room to rise. Under Zhou Yang's lead, after arriving in Orlando early the next morning, Wang Zelin took his Hummer and Zhou Yang to the place. The place to make an appointment with the person in charge of Gatorade.

   At the Waldcost Hotel in Orlando, Wang Zelin met with Gatorade and sent the person in charge of this endorsement, Ellie, to be a woman.

  Ms. Ellie was the first to introduce: "Hello, Wang, I'm the head of Gatorade's Asia-Pacific region."

   "Hello, Miss Ellie, nice to meet you." Wang Zelin shook hands with Abby.

  The head of the Asia-Pacific region, Ellie, came out in person, which just showed that Gatorade headquarters was determined to bring Wang Zelin into Gatorade's banner.

  After Yao Ming retired, Gatorade's situation in the domestic market has deteriorated in recent years. The result of signing Jeremy Lin was mediocre, and it was only a drop in the bucket until Wang Zelin's birth gave Gatorade a new hope.

  Wang Zelin has long become the darling of major brands, including beverages.

   Previously, Pocari Water from Dongying, Red Bull from Thailand, Coca-Cola from the United States, and beverage brands that drink Pepsi can all consider signing Wang Zelin.

   He just rejected them one by one.

  Wang Zeming is very self-aware. Although he likes money very much, there is no need to rush crazy to endorse.

   And Zhou Yang is a professional in this regard, so he doesn't like to use his brain very much in his business sector...except buying a house.

The prime example of    in this regard is Carmelo Anthony.

   Anthony signed a 6-year 18 million contract with Mr. Joe before he entered the league, with an average of only 3 million a year. The early signing caused Anthony's commercial value to fail to be further developed.

As far as Anthony's business development is concerned, he was undoubtedly a failure in the first six years of the NBA. Even if he played as a super scorer in the league, the commercial value has risen again and again, and the signing fee has doubled several times, but he wants to make more. The money must wait until the end of the contract.

   I can only say that the power of idols is greater than money!

   Therefore, Wang Zelin's agent, Zhou Yang, must be more wise, not impatient or impatient, and knows how to raise prices on the ground. This has made Wang Zelin's worth soaring, and the signing fee has risen sharply compared to the beginning of the season.

   After a fight, Abby, the head of Gatorade's Asia-Pacific region, had to raise Wang Zelin's signing fee again.

   "Zhou, you are an out-and-out vampire, everyone gives each other a deal, 15 million in 4 years is impossible, at most 12 million in 4 years."

   Ellie sat back in her seat and sighed with emotion.

"make a deal!"

   Zhou Yang turned around and smiled at Wang Zelin, agreeing to the offer.

   In addition to the formal contract, there are many incentive clauses.

  If you are selected as an All-Star this season, a certain amount of bonus will be added to the endorsement fee, and you will be awarded the All-Star MVP, Regular Season MVP, Finals MVP, etc., and there will be bonuses.

  The contract was officially signed, and the person in charge of Gatorade was sent away, and Wang Zelin was so excited that he flew up.

   There is a saying: people feel refreshed on happy occasions!

night.

   Magic vs. Trail Blazers.

  The Magic team has undergone a major team change this season. The team is younger, resulting in an immature team. Now it has long lost the temperament of a strong team during the Howard period, even in the weak East.

   Tonight's opponents except JJ Redick and Vucevic, Wang Zelin couldn't recognize anyone.

   So, magic is a tragedy without any suspense.

  The news that Wang Zelin signed with Gatorade before the game has spread all over the whole rice field, which made this game that was not popular at first, and people in the media wanted to see with their own eyes how Wang Zelin, who just signed a big contract, would behave.

   After the start, Wang Zelin succeeded in attacking twice, arranging the first 4 points of the Blazers.

   In addition to the offensive end, Wang Zelin gave the Magic team's rebuilding core Vucevic a big cap on the defensive end.

   With 1 minute and 03 seconds left in this quarter, Lillard made a three-pointer from the outside, and the Blazers led the Magic by 11 points with 28:17. Wang Zelin came off the court ahead of schedule.

   The second quarter came back to the game without any accident, and the game was properly crushed.

  The Blazers had an absolute advantage in strength, and the final score was 108:83, giving the Orlando Magic a 13-game losing streak with a big score of 25 points.

  It is worth mentioning that the Magic's last 13-game losing streak dates back to April 2004. Tonight ~ the shame reappears.

  The Trail Blazers improved their record to 39 wins and 13 losses, successfully overtaking the Thunder and becoming the second in the Western Conference.

  Wang Zelin was elected the best player of the game with 29 points, 20 rebounds, 5 assists and 3 blocks.

  …

   Goose City not far away.

  The Thunder King Bomber vs. the Miami Big Three from afar is undoubtedly one of the most eye-catching games of the season. The game was quite ups and downs. At the beginning, the Big Three led the Heat to a 7-2 lead, and Perkins and Westbrook joined forces to tie the game.

   Then James began to take over the game, a dunk, a three-pointer made three free throws after Safolosha fouled, scored 8 points in one breath, and the Heat put the Thunder into a timeout at 24:13.

   Durant wanted to rush to respond, but got a technical foul because he was dissatisfied with the referee's penalty, and then the Heat ended the first quarter with 32:17.

   In the second quarter, it was James' turn to eat T. Durant began to exert his strength and wanted to recover the score, but the Heat's Lewis could always hit a three-pointer to widen the difference again.

   In the end, even if Durant scored 22 points in the final quarter, he had no choice but to hate being swept by the Heat with a score of 110:100.

James scored 39 points, 12 rebounds and 7 assists in the quasi-triple-double data. Among them, the 39 points played tied the highest scoring record this season. It is a pity that the shooting rate of 14 of 24 shots failed to continue to reach 60%. The record of scoring at least 30 points in six games and shooting more than 60% from the field was interrupted.

   The Thunder and Heat have been easily defeated by the latter in two encounters this season, making more and more Thunder fans miss Harden, the team's super sixth man.

   Once upon a time, we also had a James…

   After the defeat, the Thunder general manager's Twitter account was once again compromised.

  …

   At the post-match press conference after playing the Magic, Wang Zelin was told that he won the Western Conference Best of the Week.

   Of course, this week's best is completely expected, except for the No. 36 of the Blazers, other players in the West are probably not too embarrassed to get it.

  Average of 25+15+5 per game...Exaggerated large double-doubles, plus a terrifying 5 blocks, Wang Zelin's best of the Western Week is well-deserved!

After    won the Magic, the strong Blazers team did not celebrate after the game, and the whole team set off overnight to go to Miami with their nine-game winning streak.

   Counting the three-game winning streak at the end of January and a wave of 6-game winning streak in February, the Blazers have enjoyed a 9-game winning streak.

   In the latest ESPN team strength list, the Trail Blazers reached the top five for the first time this season, ranking fourth.

  The Miami Heat, San Antonio Spurs and Oklahoma City Thunder are ahead.

   For this ranking, many people think it is fairly fair.

   As the defending champion, not only the record ranks first in the league, but the Big Three have shown a higher level of tacit understanding and cooperation after the start of this season.

  Especially the leader LeBron James, everyone can see his sublimation on the technical level, this season's James~ is too incomprehensible.

   As for why the 2nd place is not the Thunder but the Spurs, the first record in the West is very convincing.

  Secondly, the Spurs' GDP seems to be old, but after the start of the season, these three carriages can always emit amazing energy. To borrow an old saying - never underestimate the heart of a championship!

   Surprisingly, the Thunder and Trail Blazers, who were ranked third and fourth, were the most watched.

  The reason is very simple ~ young!

   These two teams are too young, they have a bright future.

   Since the second decade of the new century, the league has experienced several storms of youth.

   The first to bear the brunt is undoubtedly the head star of the Bulls, the No. 1 pick in 2008... Derrick Rose!

   Two years ago, countless Bulls fans saw Chicago's second rise after Jordan in the Windy City Rose.

   Under the leadership of the Windy City Rose, the Bulls once overwhelmed the teams of LeBron James and Dwight Howard and led the Eastern Conference record.

  Unfortunately~ Injuries are as fierce as tigers!

   Then there is the Thunder Three Shao, who entered the finals for the first time in history last year.

  Although they lost the finals with a big score of 1:4, their star Kevin Durant has become the league's well-deserved second small forward, and has even shown the temperament of the league's first man in the future.

   As for the Portland Trail Blazers, arguably the biggest surprise of the season.

   The two rookies selected by the Trail Blazers management this year, one sixth overall and one eighth overall, have successfully dominated the top two rookie versions since the beginning of the season.

   Wang Zelin, the eighth overall pick, showed incredible adaptability as soon as he entered the league. What's even more terrifying is that he improved all the time as the regular season went on.

   Today, Wang Zelin has set many new historical records in the league.

   Compared to Howard, who has declined significantly, many people even started to shout "Wang Zelin is the new top center in the league!" ~ and this voice is getting louder and louder.

   As we all know, the playoffs are known as the stage of superstars.

  Wang Zelin wants to successfully implement the title of the league's top center, first of all, he must prove himself in this year's playoffs.

   As a commentator who always broadcasted basketball in the sauna room later said: No matter how hard you play in the regular season, there is not much reference value.

  Only players who really prove themselves in the playoffs can be called "league superstars" and can truly be recognized by fans and media.

   After reading the top four, the bottom four of the player strength list are the Clippers, Celtics, Nuggets, and Bulls.

  In ESPN's view, if the top four have the strength to enter the finals, then the bottom four have the strength to enter the division finals.

   For example, the Green Army, who is one year older.

  The Celtics currently have a record of 27 wins and 25 losses, ranking sixth in the Eastern Conference, but no one dares to underestimate them.

   With Paul Pierce and Kevin Garnett both falling, Rajon Rondo stood up.

   This season, Rondo averaged 13.7 points, 11.8 assists, 5.7 rebounds and 1.8 steals per game, becoming a new giant in the mouths of fans.

   According to the current trend, Rondo is likely to be crowned the regular season assists again after averaging 11.7 assists per game in the 2011~12 season.

  For the fans of the Green Army, this is a fresh blood.

   For other teams, Rondo's growth is a variable on whether the Celtics can make a difference this year.

  …

   February 13 afternoon.

   Inside American Airlines Arena.

   "Wang, you guys are very good lately, you won't want to win a nine-game winning streak, it's terrible!"

   In the warm-up session before the game, James took the initiative to come to the Trail Blazers halftime to chat with Wang Zelin.

   "LeBron, you can pull it down, who doesn't know that the Heat's record is the first in the league." Wang Zelin looked at the No. 23 rookie in front of him speechlessly.

   "Player: LeBron James

  …

  Comprehensive rating: 99! "

  James' ability score and detailed data are almost the same as those in the last review. The point is that the score is still 99 points ~ the ceiling!

   No matter how many times he watched it, Wang Zelin still couldn't control his inner shock.

  99 points!

   I wonder how many seasons it will take me to get to this level!

   "King! King?"

   Seeing that Wang Zelin didn't speak for a long time, James, who was staring at him with goose bumps, was full of doubts in his heart.

   Did I say something wrong just now?

  James began to recall everything he and Wang Zelin had said... It seems that there is no such thing!

   I recalled my remarks about Wang Zelin on social media and official interviews ~ all highly praised.

   Originally.

   He was about to play against the rookie center he was very optimistic about again. James was very excited, so he came over to exchange feelings with Wang Zelin during the warm-up session.

  Although it is said that I can’t play brother basketball now, who can say what will happen in the future...

   It's been a long time since he came, and he was talking about himself, while Wang Zelin practiced shooting with all his heart... He understood that.

  A player who takes training seriously, he has always appreciated it.

   But no matter what, Wang Zelin would respond perfunctorily at first, but now...

  You make me so stupid!

  Recovered, Wang Zelin felt an unspeakable resentment suddenly coming from behind.

   "Cough, LeBron, why are you staring at me?"

   Wang Zelin said curiously.

  “…”

   buddy~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Obviously you have been staring at me first.

  James said: "I just saw that you didn't answer for a long time..."

   "I just thought of some other things and got distracted, sorry!"

   "Oh, what did you think of?"

  Wang Zelin could clearly feel that James' mood suddenly became excited.

   You are so excited about a hammer!

   "I was thinking about **** you guys for a while!"

   Wang Zelin replied without thinking.

   "What a coincidence, me too!"

  “…”

  This time it was Wang Zelin's turn to doubt life.

   This guy has such a good temper?

   What he said just now even sounded a little rushed, but James was unmoved.

   Someone is messy in the wind~~~~
