Why is this guy so confident? Is there really something outstanding about him that he hasn't shown yet?
Phil Knight and Nike executives did not feel that Su Feng was arrogant, and they would not stop cooperating with Su Feng because of this.
In America, the more confident you are, the more respect you get.
The culture here is completely different from China.
Moreover, they like to exert extreme pressure when negotiating.
Su Feng exerts maximum pressure.
Out the door, Jason Thomas was depressed. However, because he was sitting in the car of a Nike staff member, he kept holding back until he returned to the hotel and asked: "Tony, I don't understand. I don't understand why you refused this contract. Do you know, There are only a handful of people who have sneaker sponsorship and endorsement contracts in the NBA, and only a handful of people have signature shoes.”
"Nike has been very sincere. Think about your good friend, Carmelo Anthony, he was the third pick, and his sneaker endorsement fee is only five or six million per year. Do you think you are more valuable than him? powerful?"
Jason Thomas couldn't understand Su Feng's behavior. He was even worried that Nike would stop negotiating with Su Feng in anger.
Fortunately...after a while, Nike's commercial general manager called Jason Thomas and said to keep in touch.
Obviously, Su Feng has the scarcity that makes Nike pursue him.
Su Feng is Chinese and has a vast Asian market. And so far, he is playing very well, far exceeding everyone's expectations. Although talent cannot be compared with super rookies, skills cannot be compared with top stars. But being able to beat James for Rookie of the Week for two consecutive weeks is by no means a wasted honor.
Nike's internal assessment is that Su Feng has the opportunity to become an elite player and become an All-Star or two with the support of his popularity in the Chinese market.
This is already worthy of their increased investment.
But now it seems that Su Feng has great ambitions. He doesn't just want to be an Asian Jordan.
So, wait and see.
Su Feng returned to the room, and his parents, accompanied by CCTV reporters, went to visit the garden city. The scenery of Portland was very charming.
However, it is called a torn city.
Su Feng was lying on the bed. He sent a text message to his parents, saying that he was going to return to the team early to prepare for tomorrow's game.
As soon as the text message was sent, the phone received a call from Damon Stoudemire.
Stoudemire plays in Portland, and he is also the core outside player.
Although the negative news was overwhelming, he didn't care at all.
"Tony, you're in Portland, and I want to entertain you."
Stoudemire said enthusiastically. The bet in the summer league allowed him to make a friend in Su Feng.
When a good friend comes, of course you have to make good arrangements.
"Uh, don't be so polite..."
Su Feng was still refusing.
The car engine over there was already roaring: "Tell me which hotel you are in now, and I will pick you up right away."
Unable to refuse such hospitality, Su Feng told him the hotel where he was staying.
In less than 30 minutes, Little Flying Squirrel drove a super exaggerated extended Escalade to the door of the hotel. It was roaring with horsepower and making a lot of noise. It had obviously been modified.
Stoudemire looked very small when he jumped out of the car.
Su Feng greeted him and got into the car.
"Go to my house for a party, and I'll introduce you to some friends."
Stoudemire said: "To play in the NBA, you must have many good friends."
On the way back to Stoudemire's house, Stoudemire kept calling a few people. Some are his teammates, some are arranged by him for female models, and some are arranged by him for dinner parties...
The little flying squirrel is very enthusiastic.
Su Feng was very moved.
Stoudemire's home is very luxurious. It is a super villa located in the middle of the mountain. After driving in, Su Feng couldn't help but marvel at the size of the house.
The level of luxury for NBA players has always been very high.
Even the faucets in Stoudemire's home are made of gold.
And when his butler came over to arrange things for the dinner, Su Feng took one look and realized that just signing the bill would cost more than 60,000 US dollars.
Su Feng couldn't help but remind Stoudemire that there was no need to be so extravagant.
But Stoudemire is accustomed to this lifestyle.
Su Feng couldn't help but be speechless. No wonder many NBA players go bankrupt soon after retiring. Even billionaires cannot afford this kind of lifestyle.
Soon, Damon Stoudemire's teammates started arriving.
Rasheed Wallace, Zach Randolph, Dale Davis, Ruben Patterson, Darius Miles….
These people are all well-known and fierce gangsters, and their gathering together often means chaos and trouble.
However, they welcomed Su Feng warmly. They had heard about Su Feng's performance in the summer league gambling game, and they all thought that Su Feng was very loyal.
Being loyal means being a good brother.
The so-called righteousness of every dog-slaughterer, these people are undoubtedly the dog-slaughterers of the NBA.
"Tony, can you teach me two moves? I have always liked your Chinese Kung Fu." Zach Randolph took the initiative to talk to Su Feng: "You defeated those two gangsters in New York. It was so cool. I saw it. Bruce Lee.”
Reuben Patterson came to learn from it: "Tony, what is it like to be in love with a female star? Do you also have quarrels or small interests between young lovers?"
Su Feng said with a smile, they are almost the same. Just a normal relationship.
As for Zach Randolph's desire to learn kung fu, Su Feng said it is more difficult and he has to start with standing stances.
Randolph pricked for a while, but his thigh was so sore that he quickly gave up.
At this time, Rasheed Wallace insisted on fighting Su Feng.
Wallace is tall and has long arms, and his tonnage also has an advantage. He stretched out his hand and made a boxing gesture to hit Su Feng. Su Feng's body swayed, he stepped forward and punched him in the chest. Su Feng did not use too much force.
Rasheed Wallace immediately understood that Su Feng was holding back. He laughed, stopped Su Feng's neck and said, "Good brother, you are indeed a great hero who beat away the gangsters."
At this time, a car drove in outside the door, and a bunch of female models got out of the car. They were all young and beautiful, with devilish figures and angelic faces.
This group of NBA stars immediately rushed up to them and put their arms around them in a familiar manner.
Su Feng is very shy.
He is not as relaxed as these players.
Although this is just a show, many girls want to spend the night with Su Feng and taste what Scarlett Johansson has tasted.
Su Feng sat aside in embarrassment. When a girl came over, she just chatted briefly and never got involved. Unlike Reuben Patterson, he has already taken off the girl's clothes and put his hands in to fiddle with them.
At this point, Stoudemire was joking. Whoever seduces my good brother Su Feng into bed tonight, I will reward you with an additional 10,000 US dollars.
This caused those wild bees and butterflies to rush towards him, but Su Feng refused righteously.
After refusing several times, they stopped insisting.
There are many NBA players over there. As long as any of them is pregnant with their children, they will have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of their lives.
As night fell, Stoudemire specially hired a chef from the Michelin restaurant to prepare a buffet for everyone. Su Feng ran over to chat with the chef named Troy. Compared with those who were already in a ball with the women, even Reuben Patterson dragged him upstairs to have sex.
Su Feng thought it would be more interesting to talk about cooking.
The steak Wellington cooked by Troy was delicious, and Su Feng ate several pieces in a row.
It was around 9pm, maybe I ate too much. Su Feng went inside to find the bathroom. He saw Stoudemire on the sofa asking a blonde to blow for him.
What a depravity.
Look no further, Su Feng hurriedly walked to the bathroom inside.
He came out after going to the toilet.
Ruben Patterson ran over, and he boasted to Su Feng: "Tony, you know what? I've done three. I don't know where my limit is at all. When I was in ninth grade, Lillian The teacher said that my physical fitness is great."
Su Feng said: "I really envy you."
Su Feng's current physical talent is very average. Under high-intensity confrontation, it is difficult to maintain efficient output throughout the game.
The Ruben Patterson in front of him is indeed physically strong. He is a strong and tireless defensive player, and he also regards himself as Kobe's terminator. After he was selected by the Lakers, he would go to Kobe every time during team training.
Kobe hated him very much, and every time he faced off, he would use 200% of his energy to fight this 'Kobe Terminator'.
"There's nothing to envy about this. I'm still in trouble because of my excessive physical fitness. I just slept for three nights and I'm going to sleep for three more later."
After saying that, Patterson reached out and patted Su Feng: "If you had my physical ability..."
Patterson's words got stuck mid-sentence.
Because his body suddenly went numb, and his limbs seemed to have been drained.
At the same time, Su Feng copied the physical talent of fallen player Ruben Patterson, with a total of 92 points.
It's not as powerful as imagined.
Su Feng murmured in his heart.
It’s only 92 points.
Of course, for Su Feng before, it was already a figure of another magnitude.
"Stop talking, Sue. I'm going to continue fighting!" Reuben Patterson ran into the pile of women again, and he began to choose.
How rotten.
Su Feng couldn't help but shake his head.
However, his physical energy was instantly absorbed to 92 points.
There is no need to go through additional procedures, the physical talent can be directly absorbed after being copied.
This made Su Feng ecstatic.
He couldn't help but thank Stoudemire. Last time you gave me a super agility talent, and now you have arranged a party like this to improve my physical talent. I really don't know how to thank you.
At eleven o'clock in the evening, Stoudemire asked the butler to send Soufon back, while they continued.
These guys decided to play some more exciting games.
This is something Su Feng could not imagine before.
There are so many fallen players in the NBA.
Don’t they know that if they fall so far, God will take away their gifts?
…
Su Feng went directly back to the hotel where the team was staying. The next morning, he entered the hotel gym to start a day of training.
When he returned from training, his teammates got up one after another and gathered together to have breakfast.
Coach Bill convened a pre-match meeting with the players, which is a ritual before the start of each game.
The Bulls suffered two consecutive losses at home and they urgently need to stop this decline.
However, because the team has just traded away Jaylen Rose and Roger Mason, new teammates have not yet joined, and the backcourt is stretched thin. Therefore, Scottie Pippen was specifically put on the active list.
"Tony, you may have to play a little longer tonight. Can your physical strength support it?" Coach Bill asked Su Feng.
In the past, Coach Bill has always used Su Feng conservatively, playing a few minutes on and off for a few minutes intermittently. He only played more than 20 minutes in a game.
But tonight the situation was urgent and he needed Su Feng to take on more responsibilities.
This is something an elite player must take on.
"No problem." Su Feng said confidently.
Last night's trip to the Fallen Party allowed him to replicate the physical fitness of the fallen player Reuben Patterson, and he has full confidence in producing sustained and efficient output in this game.
…
Nike's executives were all waiting in front of the TV. Founder Reuben Patterson even sat in the Rose Garden Arena, and sitting next to them happened to be Su Feng's parents.
Stoudemire was very helpful. He got two first-row VIP tickets for Su Feng.
Portland's box office is mediocre. Year-round bad performances and negative press have meant that the attendance for this game is less than 60%, which is the result of discounted tickets.
The Bulls' starting lineup tonight is: Kirk Hinrich, Kendall Gill, Su Feng, Eddy Curry, Tyson Chandler.
The Trail Blazers' starting lineup is: Damon Stoudemire, Dale Davis, Jeff McGinnis, Zach Randolph, Rasheed Wallace.
The Trail Blazers' lineup is not bad, and their boss is not short of money. They pay the luxury tax every year, but their record is always at the bottom.
This has made their management determined to start rebuilding.
Beep!
The whistle blows and the game begins.
Tyson Chandler beats Rasheed Wallace with jump ball.
Hinrich dribbled the ball across half court and stopped at the top of the arc to organize.
Su Feng started running quickly. His speed was not fast, but his direction was very strange. After a while, he left McGinnis behind.
He received the pass in the corner, took off and shot... Wow!
hit.
As soon as Su Feng scored, Su Feng's parents stood up excitedly and applauded.
This was their first time watching their son play in person, and it was really impressive.
This far, the ball is a hit.
You must have practiced very hard.
Phil Knight was also watching the game attentively. His vision was different from that of Su Feng's parents. Watching the ball live gave him a greater impact. Su Feng's running rhythm was more brilliant than the God's perspective on TV. He almost shuttled between people and threw away the defense in two seconds.
This is very high-end technology.
Moreover, he felt that Su Feng's running was more vigorous and energetic than what he saw on TV.
The game continues.
Stoudemire passed to Zach Randolph, Randolph singled to Eddie Curry, and the two big fat guys singled.
However, Zach Randolph was a little weak. After he turned around, he slipped and took a hasty shot, but failed to score. Su Feng just ran in to get the rebound, and then he advanced with the ball.
Very active.
There is a strong vitality.
Fairlight became more and more satisfied as he watched.
It's like a mother-in-law watching her son-in-law.
However, Su Feng didn't have any gift money to give him. He had to give Su Feng an offer that satisfied Su Feng.
…
