Chapter 81 - Reject Adidas
There are many nba players, their respective endorsement contracts are also very different, there are no small differences.
However, if you pay close attention, you can still find some rules, such as nba player endorsement contracts, the general one-year endorsement fee is about the same as the player’s one-year team salary.
For example, a player with an annual salary of 10 million yuan, his endorsement fee is roughly 10 million.
Of course, there are many influencing factors, and there are great differences between different people. Some people have higher endorsement fees than salaries, and some people have higher salary than endorsement fees. This all exists.
Now Adidas’ offer to Ning Yi is three million US dollars in three years, an average of one million a year. If it is for other failed drafts, this contract is already very high.
Ning Yi is not a general drop draft. His salary in the Timberwolves is 2.6 million a year. Adidas’ offer is much less than Ning Yi’s annual salary.
Moreover, Adidas also wants to sign directly for three years. If Ning Yi has scored in these three years, with the Chinese market behind him, the value of this endorsement is not only 3 million, even if it is tens of millions, it is not surprising.
“Oh.” Ning Yi smiled and said to Downey: “A three-year endorsement contract of 3 million, as to make you so excited? Don’t forget, we refused the Timberwolves’ 3-year offer of 7 million.”
“Ah…” Downey opened his mouth.
This is an endorsement contract of 3 million US dollars. Downey usually does not see a contract of millions of US dollars a year, let alone the other party is Adidas.
Seeing Ning Yi’s relaxed look, Downey took a deep breath and calmed himself down, saying, “Ning, what do you think of Adidas’ contract?”
“not very good.”
“Ah.” Downey even asked, “Why?”
Ning Yi shared his hands: “Because there is too little money, the average is only 1 million US dollars a year, and I have not paid a high salary in the Timberwolves. This is completely funny. Is it really treating me as a draft pick?”
Hearing this, Downey’s face also sank.
Indeed, the quotation given by the opponent is a bit low, although it is higher than that of the general lost draft, but Ning Yi is the most popular rookie this season, one million dollars a year, this is to send a call to Hanako?
“Ning.” Downey said: “How much do you think is appropriate?”
“Whatever is appropriate, I won’t sign a contract with Adidas at all. Their attitude, I don’t think it’s necessary to talk about it, you just refuse it.” Ning Yi doesn’t want to waste time arguing with Adidas, as can be seen from the other party’s contract Second, even if the talks continue, it will not be much better.
So Ning Yi decided not to sign with Adidas, even if Adidas raised the offer.
Tony frowned, thinking for a while, then nodded and said: “Okay, I listen to you. I’ll call over there later.”
“Donny, rest assured, Adidas is only the first one, and soon there will be a second and third endorsement contract to come to the door.” Ning Yi laughed, he has such confidence, because he has “star support Into a system”, but this is not known, so he does not expect Downey to be as confident as he is.
Anyway, Downey understood.
Downey quickly replied to Adidas, informing them that Ning Yi refused to sign with them.
It was only then that Adidas realized that, after a brief discussion, they increased their quotation from 3 million in 3 years to 4.5 million in 3 years.
raised US$1.5 million all of a sudden, but the final result was still rejected. Ning Yi had already sentenced Adidas to death, even if it rose to 10 million, he also did not sign.
The news spread that some brands that had the same plan as Adidas had to adjust their plans.
Some brands directly dismissed the idea of asking Ning Yi to make an endorsement, thinking that he was not worth the price, but some brands were reluctant to accept the Chinese market behind Ning Yi, and added quotations.
In just a day or two, Downey received a dozen calls.
All of these calls are for Ning Yi to speak for, but Ning Yi is not in a hurry. Just let Downey let it go. Anyway, Ning Yi is confident that the better you play, the more the future, the more favorable the contract you get.
……
On November 13, the Timberwolves ushered in the Cavaliers challenge at home.
This is the second time the two teams have fought in half a month. The last time, during the three-game losing streak of the Timberwolves not long ago, the Timberwolves lost to the Cavaliers and were beaten by the Cavaliers.
Now again, Timberwolves don’t want to lose anymore.
In fact, everyone is bound to get this game, from the coach to the players. It is the same for two matches in half a month, even if you lose once, if you lose the second time, how shameful?
What’s more, now that the Timberwolves are playing a series of three straight victories, how can they be ended by the Cavaliers? In any case, they must win this game.
“I’ll talk about it.” Adelman spread the tactical board and said to everyone: “It is important to keep an eye on Owen. This is the key point. He is the starting point of the Cavaliers’ attack. Restricting him is equivalent to restricting the entire Cavaliers. .”
“On offense, still play according to the tactics I arranged earlier. Love, Pekovic, you are responsible for the inside, Love your task is mainly to score, Pekovic pays attention to the rebound. Martin, Brewer, you The two can have a little cooperation with each other. UU reading www.uukanshu.com also pays attention to helping Rubio assist defense.”
After some instructions, Adelman put away the tactical board and said, “Go ahead.”
At this time, the whistle sounded and the game began.
Today, the Timberwolves are still regular starters. The Cavaliers start with Tristan Thompson, Anderson Valejo, Dion Waiters, Alonzo Key, Kyrie Irving.
As soon as he came up, the Timberwolves launched a fierce attack, carrying three consecutive victories. The Timberwolves were like a rainbow, and the Cavaliers played a 9:3 from the beginning.
Then, Irving broke out, led the Cavaliers to counterattack, quickly narrowed the score, and quickly caught up.
Until the first quarter played more than four minutes, the Timberwolves only led by 2 points, the score is very anxious, the Cavaliers are in good shape today, especially Irving.
“Substitute.”
Adelman makes a substitution, replacing Brewer with Ning Yi.
When Ning Yi appeared with a mask, huge cheers suddenly sounded in the audience. Looking around, there were still many people wearing black masks, similar to Ning Yi, but without Ning Yi’s exquisiteness.
These people are obviously fans of Ning Yi, and they are a big fan.
……
On the field, the Timberwolves attacked.
Rubio advanced to the frontcourt, glanced at the situation on the field, passed the ball to Martin, Martin scored the ball to Lefu, Ning Yi then interspersed along the bottom line, went to the other side, and received the ball from Lefu.
behind, Waiters chased up and saw Ning Yi take the ball to jump, he also jumped up immediately, his hand protruding toward the basketball. However, his hand has not been fully extended, Ning Yi has already shot.
“It’s fast.” Waiters was taken aback and looked back at the rim as soon as he landed. I saw that the basketball accurately penetrated the rim and lifted the nets. It was white.
