The most direct manifestation of the decline in draft picks is that several major sneaker brands are interested in Li Lei, and they have begun to lower the price desperately.

Nike is the least sincere. The contract they offered is 1.5 million for three years. This price is similar to that of non-popular draft picks. Although Li Lei's bench press results are eye-catching, you can't bully others like this.

"This contract is very high for Bruce. After all, he has not been exposed to basketball for a long time. No one knows what his future development will be like. If his performance is good enough, I think we can continue to increase it."

.”

Although the tone of Nike's spokesperson was very plain, the arrogance in his words was undoubtedly revealed. Nike, like Leinsdorf, relied on Jordan to get up. At that time, Nike was basically about the same size as the Wenzhou Shoe Factory.

Because they signed Jordan, they have become a brand that cannot be ignored in the sports world, especially in the United States, which is their home base.

Therefore, Nike doesn’t pay much attention to Li Lei, a figure who stirred up troubles in the NCAA this year. Anyway, there are not many rookies like him in the NBA. 1.5 million in three years is really a lot. Among Asian players, there are still

No one has ever received such a contract.

In addition to Nike, Reebok, Converse, and Adidas are all here, but none of them have expressed their stance.

After the Nike spokesperson finished speaking, the Converse spokesperson looked at Li Lei and started his own performance.

"There is no need to say more about the history of our Converse. Since Bruce has decided to join the NBA, you also know something about us. We have many superstars under our banner. These people may even be your childhood idols..."

This Converse spokesperson has the potential to brag so much that he really doesn’t even know his last name. Listening to his words, it seems that Converse is still the sports giant in North America and even the world, not now.

It is no longer the courageous sports brand it once was.

"Sir, in fact, I have only watched the videos of those people under your banner. As you said, I have only been exposed to basketball for a short time, and I don't know anything about those superstars, so your quotation

How much is it?"

The spokesman for Converse was a little embarrassed. Li Lei was so unreasonable. He cleared his throat and said, "Of course we won't offer a price as low as 1.5 million for three years. The contract we offer is 500 for five years."

Ten thousand." Five million for five years. Perry Rogers recorded this price. Although it was not very high, it was at least much better than Nike's offer.

The Nike spokesperson snorted, does Converse want to regain its territory with an Asian? What a joke, unless Li Lei can reach the level of Jordan, God will not be able to save Converse.

Reebok also made an offer, which was 6 million for five years, which was a little higher than Converse. The Nike spokesperson snorted and left. He knew that although Adidas had not yet quoted, Nike was already out.

It's inevitable. It's impossible for me to invest resources in an Asian, not to mention that this Asian's exposure to professional basketball is only a short time. Spending more than five million on him is definitely a stupid move.

Now only Adidas has not submitted its own price. Adidas has a vice president from the United States. This man is an old man. It is said that he has worked at Adidas for decades.

"Son, I'm very familiar with John, and I'm no stranger to UCLA, so the offer for you is 37 million for 8 years. If you are selected as an All-Star or something during these eight years, we will consider launching a signature shoe for you.

"

Eight years is such a long contract. Li Lei knows very well that with cheats, he doesn't need to grow up for that long. It would be a real loss if he signed for eight years.

"Thank you for taking a fancy to me, but I can accept it if this contract can be shorter, four or five years, as long as it's not as stupid as Nike in terms of treatment." Li Lei was very confident. Now

I don’t have much capital to show off. I’m not the only one who has won the championship at UCLA, but the only superstar in UCLA’s history is Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Reggie Miller and Bill Walton, all of whom have their own shortcomings. So if

Asking for a sky-high price, asking for something like James's of 90 million in 7 years, is simply asking for death.

The little old man from Adidas smiled. The two spokespersons for Converse and Reebok were a bit ugly. Damn it, Li Lei, this bastard, doesn’t even have our two families in his eyes. No, this guy is definitely going to fight, so he’s going to

He is the first lottery pick in the history of Chinese basketball, and he deserves to be smashed. Life is not easy for Reebok and Converse, and it is really frustrating for them to survive in the gap between Adidas and Nike. So they

If you want to change this situation, you must sign someone with business potential.

"We can also create signature sneakers for you. There are also bonus clauses, and we can give you a lifetime contract." Converse's spokesperson finally came up with his trump card. He thought he would never use this, after all, Converse's history

None of those superstars, Karl Malone, Julius Erving, Larry Bird and Magic Johnson, have ever received a lifetime contract. However, due to the rise of Jordan, the sales of sneakers for these few players are not so hot. Converse also suddenly

Slipping from the position of boss.

Lifetime contract? Perry Rogers’ eyes lit up. He currently only has two players. Although O’Neal is currently developing well, his sneakers are his own brand, so there is no such thing as a lifetime contract.

Li Lei smiled, that's right. The old man from Adidas finally lost his composure. Converse's lifelong contract didn't come to his mind. He thought he could rely on the relationship between John Wooden and UCLA to make it easy.

After taking Li Lei under his wing, and now a Converse appears halfway through, everything is not completely different.

Reebok's spokesperson, like the previous Nike spokesperson, left silently. It was impossible for them to offer a lifetime contract to Li Lei. After all, they still had Iverson in his prime.

It’s not like Converse is really out of business.

The little old man from Adi's side went outside and made a phone call and came back. His face became very relaxed, "I went to talk to the headquarters and we can also give you a lifetime contract, but there is a prerequisite, that is, you have to work
