The rise of basketball legends

After roughly drawing up the sneaker contract plan, Chen Yan handed over the rest to Bill Duffy.

He believes in the professional ability of his agent, and he only needs to devote his energy to the game.

Portland, Nike headquarters.

Nike President Phil Knight just received a message that Chen Yan rejected their latest offer.

"President, do you want to increase our contract amount?" Phil Knight's assistant asked from the side.

"This is just a way for them to raise the price. The guaranteed amount of the contract will remain the same, some incentives will be added, and then we will make our next offer." Phil Knight looked calm, as if he was surprised by this rookie's price increase. No wonder.

Phil Knight knew that his biggest competitor was Adidas, and he also knew that Adidas was stingy, and the price he offered was definitely not as high as Nike.

And according to the information obtained by Phil Knight, Adi offered Chen Yan only a 'cash contract'.

How did the 'cash contract' work past the 'signature sneaker contract'?

Phil Knight is full of confidence in winning Chen Yan!

As for the news that Chen Yan is in contact with Chinese sneakers...

Phil Knight took it as a joke. In his perception, no one would choose some small brands when Nike gave a big contract.

This is not reasonable.

......

On November 11th, the Phoenix Suns will host the Washington Wizards at home!

The Wizards are currently ranked fifth in the Eastern Conference, and they have the most powerful trident in the current league!

Arenas, Caron Butler and Jamison are all players averaging over 20 points per game.

If nothing else, this will be a confrontational battle.

The day before the game started, Arenas's social dynamic sparked heated discussions among the crowd.

'I'm going to end the Suns' undefeated start, this is how I get my revenge on D'Antoni! '

Arenas is still brooding over his removal from the roster for the 2006 World Championships.

On August 2006, 8, two days before the World Championships, Colangelo, director of Dream Seven, let Arenas leave the team on the grounds that he suffered a "groin" strain.

Arenas was very annoyed by this, because he knew that he was not injured at all, and the team just found a reason to let him leave Mengqi with "decentness".

Arenas' big mouth claimed in front of the media last season: He wants to score 100 points in two games against the Suns!

Revenge D'Antoni's remarks again this season, Arenas's anger does not seem to dissipate over time.

D'Antoni was very speechless about this, he was just the assistant coach of Meng Qi, because the head coach Old K was coaching Duke University, Arenas couldn't go to the college league to play, so he could only vent his anger on himself.

Facts have proved that it is wise for Meng Qi not to bring Arenas, this product is indeed an unstable factor in the locker room.

Fortunately, his so-called revenge is on the court...

Arenas is very domineering on the court, but he is really childish in life.

Otherwise, in the previous life, he wouldn't meet his teammates with a gun at the slightest disagreement.

Like Michael Reed, he has the wonderful self-esteem of a player born in the second round: insatiable number of shots, without the ball like a drug addict who has no cigarettes, and often falls into a state of alone.

Pre-match press conference.

"Not only will I end the Suns' 8-game winning streak, but I will also score 50 points on top of them. It would be best if I could completely kill them. If not, it doesn't matter. This is enough." Arenas uttered nonsense in front of the media!

The reporter asked: "Can you comment on the player Chen Yan?"

Arenas replied: "I know this rookie, I have heard his name, but what I want to say is that the outside world has praised him a bit too much, he is just a system player."

"He played too comfortably in the Suns' offensive system. In that environment, as long as there are enough shots, many outside players can get his average points per game!"

Arenas' attack was indiscriminate, and his big mouth didn't let Chen Yan go.

This is something that journalists like to hear, and they rely on this kind of conflicting news to gain attention.

"But he scored 50 points on Kobe's head!" The reporter continued to provoke.

"50 points, a lot?" Arenas shrugged.

Others may not dare to say that, but Arenas is qualified to act like this.

2006年12月18日，阿里纳斯带领奇才队客场挑战科比带领的湖人队的比赛中，他全场32投17中，罚球27罚21中，拿下职业生涯最高的60分。

......

......

Chen Yan is a system player?

Arenas' words quickly spread.

Before Chen Yan could fight back, his teammates fought back for him.

"WTF!? Can you trouble that guy to use his brain? What kind of system player can score 30+40+50+ in a row? If you know a little bit of football, you won't say such ignorant words!" Stoudemire said in an interview before the game. Support Chen Yan, but hate Arenas.

"Chen can play with the ball or without the ball. He can adapt to any team, and he can adapt perfectly. If he is a system player, he has his own system." The team boss Nash also stood up for Chen Yan. say.

Raja Bell: "If I'm not in the suspension period tonight, I will 'lock' Arenas to death!"

Fans were amused to hear Raja Bell's answer, because no one knew what kind of lockup he was talking about...

After the warm-up, Chen Yan was inevitably asked this question when he was interviewed by reporters on the sidelines.

Chen Yan was a little upset, after all, no one likes to be underestimated, so he responded without hesitation:

"I don't know what he meant by that. Maybe he never thought that a rookie could play such data, so he blamed everything on the system."

"I understand Arenas's thinking very well. After all, I am the No. [-] pick and he is a second-round pick. There is a gap in talent between us. I know that he has practiced crazy in order to succeed, and the current results are due to a large amount of overdraft. His own body, he has done very well, but some gaps cannot be made up with hard work, I believe he will have some insights after tonight."

Chen Yan's response was straightforward. The second-round pick was a pain in Arenas' life.

This is not the first time he has had a verbal fight with his opponent before the game. Every verbal fight is the accumulation of experience, just like on the court.

Chen Yan felt that if he continued like this, sooner or later he would become a master of trash talking.

"Do you think he will score more than 50 points tonight?" The reporter asked the next question.

"Who cares? But 50 points against us isn't enough to win the game."

After Chen Yan finished speaking, he walked into the player tunnel without looking back.

Sun locker room.

After D'Antoni finished the pre-match mobilization, Chen Yan took the initiative to find him.

"Coach, I will help you get rid of that guy Arenas, provided you arrange more singles for me." Chen Yan said with a smile.

"You don't need to increase the number of singles, just play normally." D'Antoni smiled and patted Chen Yan on the shoulder.

D'Antoni didn't want Chen Yan to get into a fight with Arenas because of his remarks, which would be detrimental to the team's victory.

Mustache is the coach of the team, and it is impossible for him to act as naive as Arenas. He always puts the team's victory and defeat first.
