Chapter 833 There are more important things

Although Xie Kai did not participate in any individual competition, he was the starting point of the Western Conference All-Star a year later as the vote leader.

Many people have found that the all-star style of "K God 4th Generation" on Xie Kaijiao is very unique, integrating elements of traditional Chinese ink painting. It is unique in all kinds of basketball shoes.

Yao Ming was also a popular superstar back then and was the number one person in Asian basketball, but because the center did not sell shoes, Reebok signed him, but did not introduce him to signature shoes with Chinese elements. In this regard, Xie Kai was the number one person.

Xie Kai signed a five-year, $75 million contract with Nike in the summer of 2012. From the 2012-13 season, Nike launched his first signature shoe - K God 1 generation. This season is the last year of his contract. According to the launch rate of annual signature shoes, this year should be the fifth generation, but since he did not play the entire season last season, he did not launch new signature shoes, and the fourth generation signature shoes were not released until this season.

When Nike and Xie Kai signed this contract, they were questioned wildly. At that time, the big mouth Barkley said on a TV show: "This is the funnyest joke I have heard this offseason. Kane Xie is worth $75 million in endorsement? Let me spare me, who can tell me what honors he has? Does he have an MVP? Did he lead the team to win the championship? If it is because of the Asian market, then I have nothing to say."

But facts proved that Nike was extremely visionary. Xie Kai won the championship and MVP trophy in succession, and his popularity reached the peak of the NBA. His signature shoes also became the best-selling signature shoes in the NBA, and Nike made a lot of money.

Although Xie Kai did not play the entire season in 2015-16, his shoes are still among the top three in the sales list of all NBA players, and Nike still makes a lot of money.

This season is the last year of Xie Kai's contract with Nike. After playing for a month, Nike has been pestering his agent, Saidis Fauchere, to renew his contract.

Not only Nike, Adidas and Under Armour also want to sign Xie Kai. Everyone is not stupid. Nike made money before, but everyone is jealous. Now the Xie Kai Kai contract is about to expire, and everyone is on the same starting line again. No one wants to miss such a historical super giant that can increase your brand's popularity a lot.

Nike was also afraid that Xie Kai would be robbed, so he terminated his agent in advance and wanted to use his old cooperation to get priority to signing the contract. They originally wanted to keep the price down, although they knew that the price of this contract renewal might be very high.

Xie Kai's agent Saidis Forcher firmly stated that he did not want to discuss the contract extension at the moment, and he would talk about it in a few months. The officials sent by Nike to discuss the contract extension could only return in a bad mood.

The All-Star Game begins.

Like the previous few sessions, the intensity of the All-Star Game has been declining year by year. Xie Kai really doubts that after playing this game, he may have sweated less than when he was practicing...

Both sides play, so the scores are very fast. Because the game is too easy, everyone is playing, and they are overly pursuing high-difficulty juggling cooperation, and the error rate is also very high.

But it doesn’t matter to everyone. Just be high, it doesn’t affect anything.

Westbrook and Paulo came on as a substitute, and his desire to attack was strong. Paulo Harden and others were also consciously making goals for him, giving him the opportunity to win the honor of winning the All-Star MVP for three consecutive years.

At the starter side, Durant and Curry didn't attack themselves and kept making balls for Thomas.

Xie Kai was a little unhappy. You just didn't want Westbrook to have three consecutive MVPs, right?

The head coach of the Warriors is Steve Cole. How could this guy not understand the disciple's heart? When he saw this, he tried to stagger the playing time between Xie Kai and Westbrook, so that Xie Kai would not have the chance to make goals for Westbrook.

Thick Eyebrow is originally an inside player and a finishing point. In a game with such low defensive intensity, he has to eat and drink. In addition, he is the host star, so he is naturally more loved, and all the fans of the court are cheering for him.

Of course there is no suspense in the result. Although Westbrook scored 41 points in the whole game, the farmers scored the highest 51 points in the game...

The game is over, and the winner who scores the highest score wins the MVP, which seems to be a tradition.

Undisputedly, Davis is the host and the man with the highest score in the whole game. Of course, he won the award without any controversy.

Westbrook is also in very good shape in this game. If Durant and Curry had not deliberately passed the ball to Davis to fulfill Davis, he would have a good chance of using this MVP.

What a pity, I am not afraid of a god-like opponent, but a pig-like teammate. Westbrook is so narrow-minded about Durant that he is so angry.

The happy All-Star, Westbrook, was very depressed because of regret that he did not get his three-game MVP.

On the way back to Oshi City, Xie Kai advised Westbrook: "There is nothing to regret, it is artificial, you are already great. There are some external factors that you cannot control."

Westbrook was still very upset: "I just can't figure out why he deliberately stopped me!"

Xie Kai suddenly smiled, and then put away his smile: "Since he left without saying goodbye, he no longer regarded you as a brother. Don't waste your feelings on such people. Is the championship ring better than this meaningless entanglement?"

The three words "Champion" remind Westbrook that indeed, if you can beat the Warriors where Durant is in the playoffs, it will be the most exciting thing to get rid of the previous shame.

Westbrook soon let go. He was not a shy person. He was a passionate man. He was easy to play basketball and would not be able to get lost for a scumbag.

The Thunder Three Big Three returned to Oxford City and began to prepare for the second half of the season. They are currently in good momentum. Although they have a certain record gap with the Warriors, the number one in the West, and they may not be able to catch up in the subsequent games, they are very clear that the first in the West in the regular season does not mean that they will definitely be the final championship, otherwise there will be a title of 73 wins and runner-up.

As the trading deadline is getting closer, the Thunder management is also working hard to strengthen the team's lineup. They don't have many chips in their hands and cannot make big moves, but they can still make small repairs and make small repairs, which is more suitable for their team that has been almost done with.

On February 24, the Thunder finally made moves on the trading deadline!
Chapter completed!
