Chapter 133: Catch-and-Shoot Scorer (Korver)
Tang Tian finally chose to sign with Nike, but because there are still some contract details to negotiate, the news has not been made public for the time being.
The Drew League is playing, and the three brothers play together on days when there are games, and they train together on days when they don't.
In the blink of an eye, in August, Tang Tian had successfully reduced his weight to 93kg, and began to start the muscle building process in Cecilia's arrangement, which would probably last for about a month.
When the muscle gain is completed, he will use the money from the sneaker contract endorsement to buy the receiving scorer (Korver) skills, and then he will be able to adapt to it with half the effort.
On this morning, before the training began, Thompson was smiling as soon as he entered the training gym, and his expression was like a spring breeze, as if he had met a girl in a nightclub last night that he couldn't forget.
"Do you still have the strength to train?" Tang Tian saw Thompson's reaction for the first time, and couldn't help but ask with a smile.
"Strength?" Thompson looked at Tang Tian suspiciously.
"He's saying you were too tired from the nightclub last night." Walker said with a smile, Tang Tian had teased him like this before.
"You guy." Thompson smiled and pushed Tang Tian, but he was not angry, it seemed that something really good had happened.
"Say, what's a good thing, let's start today's training in a good mood." Tang Tian opened his mouth and said.
"Nike approached my agent yesterday to negotiate a contract, and it's almost done." Thompson spoke.
"Good news." Tang Tian nodded.
"Just good news? Guess how much? Thompson said mysteriously.
"I can't guess." Tang Tian shook his head.
"2.8 million in 4 years! Don, I've won you again! Thompson said with a little excitement.
In the past two months, he has lost to Tang Tian every day in the three-point game, but this momentum has changed since the draft, his rank is higher than Tang Tian, and now he has received an endorsement contract before Tang Tian, and he even feels that he will not lose again when he compares to the three-point shot.
"I ......" Tang Tian wanted to speak but stopped, he felt that it was a bit inappropriate to say at this time that he had also received an endorsement contract, and that he was older than Thompson.
Walker couldn't help but laugh from the sidelines.
"Let's make three-pointers." Thompson said suddenly, he really wanted to confirm that everything had changed.
"Now?" Tang Tian was a little surprised, if he didn't start training, his body wouldn't be too accurate.
"Yes." Thompson said he was already on the three-point line.
Tang Tian followed, Thompson was going to score three points, and he was always with him.
Thompson shot first, scored only 15 of his 25 goals, and it is true that the shooting percentage will not be too high when he is inactive.
Tang Tian continued to throw, and he didn't shoot too accurately, but he still scored 19 out of 25 goals.
Without any suspense, Tang Tian won Thompson again.
"Impossible, why?" Thompson held his head in his hands with a look of incomprehension.
Walker couldn't help but laugh out loud on the sidelines.
"Kemba, what are you laughing at?" Thompson rolled his eyes at him.
"No, nothing." Walker held back a smile, he watched Thompson being abused by Tang Tian every day, and he probably guessed that Thompson's confidence came from the sneaker endorsement contract.
"Really nothing?" Thompson stared straight at him.
"Not really." Walker struggled to hold back a laugh.
"You don't say I let Uncle Mac ignore you." Thompson pulls out Prokopio.
"No, do you really want to say it?" Walker hurriedly waved his hand.
"Say."
"Well, what you asked me to say, actually...... Tang: He had already signed an endorsement contract a week ago. Walker could only speak.
"What? Why don't I know? "Thompson felt that life was a little dark.
"Because the details of the contract have not been negotiated yet, I also found out because I am the same agent as him." Walker spread his hands and raised them, indicating that you had to let me say this.
"What company? How much? Thompson asked.
"Do you really want to say that?" Walker couldn't bear to hit Thompson.
But seeing Thompson's threatening expression, he said it right away.
"2.6 million in 2 years, Nike's."
2.6 million in 2 years, that is, 1.3 million in 1 year, is almost twice as much as Thompson.
“come.on!” Thompson reached out and patted his head.
He really had a delusion in front of him......
"I have the Chinese market in my contract, so we're about the same, Clay." Tang Tian opened his mouth to comfort.
"Yes, we drew this time, but I won't lose to you in the NBA." Thompson also knew that Tang Tian was comforting him, after all, even if it was a draw, he was the 11th pick, and Tang Tian was the 31st pick, but he had a good mentality and recovered immediately.
"Well, I'm waiting for that day." Tang Tian nodded.
This is just a small episode of training, although Thompson was hit, he has a good temper and a strong mental endurance, and after a while, he began to train hard again, ready to get to the NBA to win back for himself.
A few days later, Nike and Tang Tian successfully signed a contract and announced the news.
Although there will be no specific endorsement amount in Nike's official news, this kind of thing will inevitably have rumors of insiders.
Social media is another buzz.
"2 years, 2.6 million! Note that this is a rookie with a 31st pick! Don is truly incredible! ”
"I feel sorry for a wave of Kawhi Leonard, who is a rookie who I stabbed, I heard that he is only 500,000 a year (# ̄~ ̄#)"
"I also heard that Klay Thompson is only 700,000 a year (# ̄~ ̄#)"
"Normally, the salary of the lotto show is estimated to be at the level of 50~1 million in endorsement contracts this year."
"Haha, my Connecticut Huskies are the biggest winner this year!"
"As a Duke fan, resolutely resist huskies!"
"North Carolina fans support upstairs!"
"Arizona fans silently topped up."
"Kentucky fans silently watching pass by."
……
Although it was still a variety of crooked buildings, it was obvious that Tang Tian's continuous exposure had made them completely remember the name.
The rookies of the Spurs have always been low-key, but Tang Tian has changed the inherent impression of fans and become Don is not a low-key Spurs rookie Tian.
The signing fee for the endorsement contract is given once a year, and soon after Tang Tian signed the contract, he had an extra $677,000 in his account.
1.3 million endorsement fees a year, minus federal taxes and brokers' commissions, and city taxes and Medicare, that's pretty much that money (Texas is exempt from state taxes).
(Note: The broker's commission in the endorsement contract will be much more than the contract, and Fagan's commission ratio is about 20%).) )
Tang Tian pulled out the system interface again, and his krypton gold value skyrocketed from the original 20,003 to 700,000.
He had already had a goal, so he chose to exchange for the receiver scorer (Korver) at this time.
Just after he redeemed this skill, some changes also occurred in his stats panel.
