Although victory or defeat is a common occurrence in military affairs, the outcome of a game will not change the positioning of a star.
However, in this game, Jason Richardson did lose to Su Feng.
Although he also scored 33 points, at the critical moment, Su Feng defeated him in a one-on-one match and took away the victory.
Su Feng accepted a brief interview after the game. He remained humble when talking about this matter, but also showed some edge: "We were very lucky tonight. We hit a lot of incredible shots."
"I have been preparing for this moment. I have worked hard on my offensive skills. I keep telling myself deep down that if the coach gives me the opportunity, I must seize it."
"Tonight, I caught it. I helped the team from another dimension. I finally jumped out of the tactical level."
Su Feng was very excited.
His interview was watched repeatedly by Nike executives. In fact, it was not just Nike, but also Adidas and Reebok, as well as other sponsors who had been observing Su Feng.
Su Feng's rise has been very strong during this period. He defeated James for two consecutive weeks to win the Eastern Conference Rookie of the Week.
Tonight, he demonstrated his star quality again. His last-minute duel allowed brand owners to see his star attributes.
Phil Knight made a bold decision. He told members of the management: "I have a gut feeling that this kid will become an NBA superstar. I know you will be in an uproar and think that his innate conditions are nothing more than this. But, I personally went to see him play a game, and I have to tell you, this little guy is constantly evolving, and he is getting better every second than the last."
"Moreover, he has a happy and stable family. His parents are intelligent and full of love and joy. He suddenly grew taller in college and has never received formal training before. His skills have been evolving. "
"Last night, I was watching his college tape, summer league tape, preseason tape, first game tape of the new season, and recent tape."
"I want to tell you that this kid's physical fitness and skills have all been drastically improved. This shows that his physical fitness has huge room for evolution, and he is still in the evolutionary stage where his height suddenly increases."
"Moreover, judging from the speed of his technical improvement, he has a strong learning ability and a strong talent for learning."
"Just imagine, a young player with super latent talent, super learning ability, super handsome face, extremely righteous image, and a vast Asian market, what kind of contract should he get?"
"By the way, he is also a natural winner. Almost all the Bulls' wins this season are closely related to him."
Phil Knight's current performance, in Chinese terms, is: a bastard who eats weights and is determined.
The more he looked at Su Feng, the more he liked it.
However, his executives actually had a different opinion. They think Phil Knight is too emotional. After all, Su Feng is an Asian player and plays the most competitive guard position. In the NBA, few white people have become super perimeter players. This is the exclusive domain of black athletes.
Therefore, many of them feel that from a scientific perspective and based on experience, Su Feng will not become a superstar, but will at most become a fringe All-Star player.
However, this is Phil Knight's company after all, and he holds the largest share.
The entire circle of senior executives is working for him.
There was silence in the conference room, waiting for Phil Knight's speech.
"So, my opinion is: give him an endorsement deal worth 60 million US dollars over 7 years."
Phil Knight said: "We have to be deeply bound to him..."
The conference room was in an uproar.
60 million US dollars in 7 years, the price is close to LeBron James. Taller than Kobe Bryant.
If this contract is given, the media will definitely laugh at Nike.
Even other players on the team will be unhappy.
Although Su Feng has performed brilliantly, he has not won the recognition of authoritative experts. Most people think that his talent is mediocre, he has bright spots but not many, and he does not have the possibility of becoming a superstar.
Not to mention comparing with a super-chosen son like LeBron James, but comparing with Hinrich on the same team. Many people think that Hinrich has more potential and has a better chance of becoming the Bulls' outside core.
After all, Su Feng plays shooting guard.
The competition for shooting guards is fierce.
"Should we think about it again?" the senior vice president said, "Should we add another half month of inspection time? This is not a small amount after all. It has a great impact, not just this endorsement."
As soon as he said this, others responded one after another.
Everyone advised the boss to calm down.
However, Phil Knight couldn't calm down at all. He said: "Once we identify something, we must attack quickly. What if he shows another super talent in this half month? Time waits for no one, and Adidas will not let such a genius pass their eyes. Sneak away underneath.”
Executives have their say.
Finally, I persuaded Phil Knight to calm down and give everyone at least 5 more games to observe.
It’s just 5 games, it won’t delay anything major.
After the meeting, Phil Knight found the president of Nike Greater China and asked him to stay, and they went to the office to talk in detail.
Phil Knight gave him direct instructions to help a leather shoe company in Wenzhou build a production line and help him become a Nike OEM.
The president was dumbfounded.
Generally speaking, we find strong factories to cooperate with.
Now we directly find a small factory, and we also need to support them in setting up advanced production lines... This is directly feeding them.
In the past, when selecting partners, there were various high standards and strict requirements.
"This is Tony Su's father." Phil Knight said thoroughly.
The person in charge of Greater China was dumbfounded. He did not expect that the founder would be so impulsive.
What kind of poison did Su Feng give him?
He actually thinks so highly of him.
He was puzzled.
…
Su’s father and mother did not go to Saltmento with Su Feng. They returned to Los Angeles early and then returned to China.
They are eager to go back and expand the production line, introduce new equipment, and prepare to do something big.
However, they did not reveal anything to Su Feng, as they did not want to affect Su Feng's decision.
However, they know very well that the reason why they can get Nike's favor is their son.
If my son was not an NBA star, would Nike be so good?
I may have to make leather shoes for the rest of my life.
Making leather shoes is not bad, but you can't make a lot of money.
Before Su's father left, Su Feng gave him two Rolexes.
While he was educating Su Feng not to spend money indiscriminately, he was extremely happy at the same time.
A promising son is better than anything else.
I believe that after returning to China this time, he will look at his watch 20 times more every day, and when he meets acquaintances, he will say unnaturally: Hey, how did you know that my son bought me two Rolexes? You see, there is one piece inlaid with diamonds on the left hand, and there is another piece of gold inlaid with diamonds in the right hand.
