The draft is over, and Anthony . Bennett became the limelight. As a strong swingman at the No. 3 or No. 4 position, Cavaliers fans are desperately expecting the man they have drafted to become the next LeBron. James.

Bennett has garnered unprecedented levels of attention, and he's never been so sought after in his life.

Interviews, Advertisements, Endorsements...... The moment Bennett was chosen, his world seemed to change dramatically. For a moment, he had the feeling of being wrapped in the whole world.

After all, the champion of the draft is also the champion, and the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse. The media doesn't hype Bennett, who is hype?

But just one day later, Anthony. Bennett's popularity was immediately snatched away by another person. At that moment, Bennett realized that he was just a little rookie. Compared to the real big guy, he is nothing.

The night after the draft, while people were still judging the highlights of Bennett's college days. A sudden announcement from Nike's official took the world by surprise.

"Link continues to stay with the Nike team, and the first generation of signature shoes is about to be launched......"

A simple sentence that doesn't seem like anything special. But knowledgeable fans know that if Nike wants to send this sentence out, it will not cost less than $285 million!

Generally speaking, sneaker manufacturers do not take the initiative to announce the amount of the contract signed with the spokesperson. It's not like the contract between the team and the player, it's not completely transparent.

But reporters and experts from all walks of life in the basketball circle can easily get the price of the contract. Therefore, although the amount of the sneaker contract is not disclosed, it is basically translucent.

Nike has just made an official announcement, and the famous ESPN reporter David . Aldridge immediately broke the news, "The amount of the sneaker contract reached between Link and Nike is more than 300 million US dollars!" ”

Sneaker contract endorsement, 300 million! For the fans, this is an astronomical amount!

A few years ago, Ross signed a 100 million yuan contract with Adidas, which was shocking enough. It's hard for people to imagine that a player can get hundreds of millions of dollars just by relying on endorsement fees.

And now, Link and Nike's contract renewal has undoubtedly subverted everyone's imagination. After everyone thought that Under Armour's 285 million was already an unsurpassable number, Nike directly raised the price to the top three.

300 million US dollars for ten years, on average, you can get 30 million US dollars per year, which is already equivalent to a maximum salary!

For a while, the basketball circle exploded. Anthony. Bennett, under the exaggerated figure of Link and $300 million, instantly became an inconspicuous pebble.

"300 million? Nike is crazy, Link is just a draft loser! ”

"He was really perfect last season, but no one knows if he'll be able to do that for the next 10 years."

Some people naturally questioned Nike's contract, is Link really worth that much money?

"Take my money away, I'm going to buy Link's signature shoes!"

"Link's signature shoes are definitely great because he's a cool guy and he's definitely going to put a lot of elements into his sneakers!"

Others are concerned only with the sneakers themselves, believing in Link's commercial appeal.

"Link led the team to a championship in just his third year, and throughout NBA history, anyone who could do that became a superstar. Dwayne. Wade, Tim. Duncan, Larry. Bird, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and even the Magic, all of whom won championships in the first three years of their careers. Therefore, Nike is definitely a profit-only deal. ”

"Link is the most promising player in the league right now and his future is immeasurable. $300 million is a lot, but Link is more than worthy of it. ”

Similarly, there are a lot of fans who think that everything Link gets is well deserved.

His performance this year is obvious to all, this is not a great performance in one game or two, but won the championship!

Take a look at Link's accomplishments last season, with 10 three-pointers in the half and 13 three-pointers in the game, breaking the NBA's single-game three-point record. Led the team to 70 wins, breaking the best single-season record since the 21st century. 50 points in the playoffs, triple-double in the finals, double in one team, FMVP ......

That's worth $300 million alone. Because these things are not obtained by luck.

As long as there are no injuries, Link will undoubtedly be the next phenomenal player.

Looking at the news about himself, Link really felt sorry. Just signing a sneaker contract ruthlessly snatched Bennett's heat away.

But when it comes to it, Link is still quite excited to have his own signature shoes.

Signature shoes not only make a player a lot of money, but also a recognition of his strength and status.

But if anyone has their own signature shoes, which one isn't a superstar?

Although Link also knows that not everyone will be smooth sailing after signing a signed shoe contract. But he will try to keep the accident away from him.

Now, Link's most important thing this summer has been solved. Next, Link and Rachel will go on vacation to Spain again.

Of course, this time it's not about visiting Gasol's vegetable patch, it's about going to Gasol's wedding!

Gasol didn't want to be disturbed by too many people, so the wedding was not made public, and no journalists were invited to attend. The only thing that was called was some family and friends, and most of the Grizzlies were included.

The players can now start enjoying their holiday in peace, but Robert Brown. Pera and Grizzlies general manager Chris Brown. Wallace, however, is in his busiest phase.

Once the war on the sneaker market is over, the war on the free agent market is about to begin. While the Grizzlies are the defending champions, the defending champions don't usually overhaul their lineups.

But this summer, the Grizzlies won't be completely still. The core lineup certainly won't change, but some changes are inevitable for the role players.

Don't underestimate the importance of role players, this year's Finals would not have been for the Knicks. Young suddenly scored 9 points in 1 minute, and whether the Grizzlies are still champions has to be another matter.

The core lineup and stars determine the team's ceiling, while the quality of role players determines the team's floor.

In addition to the players, Pera and Wallace's biggest headache now is to finalize the team's manager for next season.

In Doug. After Rivers settled in the Los Angeles Clippers, Stevens immediately reached an agreement with the Celtics to fill the void left by Rivers' departure.

The Clippers got their wish to get their championship coach, and the Celtics got their championship coach. But who will fill the grizzly gap? This is still unknown.

After some discussion, Pera and Wallace decided to let Dave . Joggle stepped up and promoted him from head assistant coach to head coach.

Although he is young, he does not have the same strong on-the-spot command ability as Stevens.

But he led the team to the championship last season as the head assistant, and he knows the team well, knows the system and gets along well with the players. If the Grizzlies are looking for stability, Joggle is the best fit.

The Grizzlies' selection of Stevens last season was Pera's choice to make a big deal of reform. But now, when the Grizzlies have become World Champions, Pera wants nothing more than stability.

Soon, Grizzlies officials announced that Jogel would be the Grizzlies' head coach next season. But the trouble is not over, Joggle is the head coach, and Pera must find another assistant coach to join the team.

So, on the first day of the free agent market, the Grizzlies also began open recruitment.

As the defending champions, the Grizzlies' hiring has received a furious response, with countless coaches, both well-known and unknown, coming in for interviews. As there were more people, Pera and Wallace naturally became busier.

"I thought there would only be a few people, but I didn't expect that there would be so many registrations." Wallace looked at the thick stack of resumes on his desk, and his brain hurt.

"Well, of course, after all, who wouldn't want to gild a team that just won the championship? But I really didn't expect that we would actually receive Jason. Kidd's resume. Hahahaha, that guy doesn't need to prepare a resume at all, who doesn't know his resume. "Pera is tired but happy. At present, there are still many capable people who sign up.

"Kidd probably doesn't play, I heard that he is close to signing with the Nets, and in Brooklyn, he has a head coach position." Wallace spread his hands, Kidd is so famous, he is rushing to have more of his team.

Having just retired as a player and plunging headlong into the coaching field, Kidd's transformation can be said to be very rapid.

"In any case, we have to pick the most suitable one, not the most famous. Joggle is a good coach, but he does have a lot of shortcomings. Therefore, his helpers must be capable. ”

Pera said as she flipped through her resume.

A photo of one of them caught Pera's attention. This guy's hooked nose and green eyes, coupled with his long, messy hair, made him look like he had written the word "bad guy" directly on his face.

It looks too much like a villain!

A curious Pera then looked at the name of the house, Quinn. Snyder, a very rare name.

Well..... What an impressive guy.
