BAB 104

As the two young players chatted happily a huge figure came into the Los Angeles Lakers locker room and greeted everyone.

"Good job, guys!

We got back the victory we should have won in Chicago! "

Shaq, wearing a suit, returned to the dressing room, he patted his two meritorious brothers and said.

"The defending champions are too arrogant. They think that if you don't exist, we can be slaughtered by others. In fact, the attitude of the Bulls in today's game is like a team like the Phoenix Suns!

If the Bulls can play what we did when we met in the last game I think we would have been even more wrong today! "

At work, I still have something to say about this scene. Michael Udin can't always say that winning is not bad, who is ashamed of who lost?

"I will make those who underestimate the Lakers pay the price, no matter who is absent, I will play the strongest myself."

Kobe's words made Shaquille O'Neal uncomfortable, but he didn't remember these details when he won today.

"You guys are very energetic young people. All-Star Weekend is coming soon. I have decided to stop playing in the All-Star Game. Our goal this season is to win the title. I can't just because of entertainment games.

But the two of you were selected for the Western Conference Newcomers Team, and Kobe is also participating in this year's Dunk Contest, so you two should play Lakers style!"

After joining the Los Angeles Lakers, Shaquille O'Neal has indeed grown tremendously, he knows how to make choices and how to support the younger generation.

"It's a must. As long as you wear the Lakers purple and gold jersey, you'll be the focus wherever you go!"

For an activity like a rookie game, Michael Udin doesn't really appreciate it, but Shark O'Neal is right, they represent the Lakers and do have to play Lakers style.

"I have been preparing for a dunk contest for a long time, I think nothing is more competitive than my moves!"

For this slam dunk contest, Kobe worked hard for a long time to slam dunk, before Kobe Bryant did not perform such juggling action to the slam dunk contest.

After reading the technical statistics, the players would go to the bathroom to take a shower.

When Michael Udin came out of the bathroom, he found that Martin was already sitting in front of the bathroom door.

"Why did you have to wait for me personally for important matters?"

Martin is usually very busy. The two people communicated over the phone for many things. Today Martin was waiting at the bathroom door specifically. Michael Udin felt there must be something important.

"Go, go to a place where there is no one."

The mysterious Martin dragged Michael Udin to a corner of the corridor.

"What makes it so mysterious! You're not an FBI agent, are you?"

Seeing Martin like this, Michael Udin couldn't help but joke.

"Nike, Adidas, Reebok, Puma, what brand of shoes do you like?"

Martin didn't talk nonsense with Michael Udin either, he said bluntly.

"I didn't think this day would come so soon!

Actually I have no special feelings for any brand. Think of it this way. We are both commoners. Who has more to give out of all these brands? "

As an NBA player, it's a huge honor to be recognized by the world's best sports brand, but people like Michael Udin still value the dollar more.

"Haha! Yes, we are both commoners!

But one thing you don't expect is that what you call today came much earlier than you think.

The people from this company came to me a long time ago, but the contract they made at that time really didn't interest me.

Especially with your appearance today, the manufacturer of this sports brand can't stand still! "

This is the case with athletes, as long as you perform well, some people will come to the door with a wave of banknotes.

"What am I saying, a lot of people who are inferior to me have signed shoe contracts!

Turns out you're bidding here! What kind of contract could we possibly sign now? "

The doubts in Michael Udin's heart were resolved, but he never doubted Martin

"Now these three companies can give you a five-year contract for about 15 million dollars."

Martin's statement really scared Michael Udin!

A sneaker contract like that back in 1997 was pretty, pretty amazing!

Upstarts in the same year, only Alan Iverson and Reebok's 50 million 10-year contract could surpass Michael Udin, and it has become a recognized fact in the industry that the big men's sneakers can't sell them. God knows what a miracle Martin has done to a sneaker manufacturer offering such a contract.

"What do you think about this matter?"

Martin's words and deeds today were a little different, and Michael Udin always felt there was something in his words.

"What do you think? I think selling sneakers is quite profitable!"

Michael Udin rarely heard Martin's sour talk.

"What do you mean? I do not understand?"

Trying to find out what Martin meant, Michael Udin asked hesitantly.

"This is the situation now. At first, the contract of intent presented to me by these three companies was very low.

During this period of time, you've also been playing, and you even have the capital to compete with Marcus Camby and Raheem in the selection of the best rookie of the year.

But with your normal trajectory, you're still not worth the price.

It was I who used your identity to negotiate and win such a price.

To be honest, I did not expect you to have such a high value in five years, it seems that this international giant has very high hopes for the development of the Asian Market.

Capitalists are primarily looking for profit, and they rarely trade at a loss. If they can offer you such a contract, it means they can make more money than you. "

As an agent, Martin could always see further.

"I have thought about this idea and I am here to discuss with you,

But if you did leave this huge amount of money behind, it would be too risky for you personally, wouldn't it? "

Martin did have the idea of ​​independence, but he could not tell Michael Udin directly, after all, such advice should not be made by an agent.

"Money is a bastard, you can make it if you don't have it!

How easy it can be to be the boss when you work for someone! "

After a new life, Michael Udin felt that he too had to do something extraordinary!

"As an athlete, I can have such courage, I really don't misunderstand you!

Then let's just do it!

Our first step from scratch is in this All-Star Newcomer Game! "

After receiving an affirmative answer from Michael Udin, Martin also became proud!

"If you say, let's do it!"

After all, his main business is basketball players, and Michael Udin believes unconditionally in Martin's choices for out-of-court matters.

"I think you've been dunking with Kobe recently. Can you do a slam dunk too?"

Michael Udin not only never missed a game, but even his Age, Martin always visited the class.

"Yeah, after I could dunk under the crotch, Kobe was always mad!

At first he wanted to use the basic crotch to hit the dunk contest champion, but now he had to do more difficult moves!

He wanted me to throw the ball for him, and after the ball bounced, he caught the ball and did a dunk under the crotch! "

Because of that, Michael Udin also roughly guessed Martin's thoughts.

"You have to be the first person in NBA history to dunk under the crotch, and the first person in a real fight!

This will be the easiest time for you to live in history! I hope you can take advantage of this opportunity!

With a title like that, the next thing will be even easier! "

Martin's idea is very simple, it is difficult to reach the sky to occupy a historic title in the NBA, but now that Michael Udin has a good opportunity, he does not want Michael Udin to miss it.

"Okay, just do as you say, I will practice a few more times!"

After being conned by his former agent, Michael Udin feels that Martin is good.

There were still three more days before the All-Star Rookie Game. These three days were enough for Michael Udin to practice one move.

"You have to take this year's rookie game seriously. The 1996 rookies are very special. If you can stand out in this game, then it will be very beneficial for your future development.

This time the initial striker of the Western Conference was Karl Malone. I have been running for a long time and your final vote did not go beyond this person.

Even though your final vote prediction was for a Western Conference striker, the coaching staff of the Western Conference All-Stars did not pick you on the bench.

Kevin Garnett has been chosen, I really don't think you are much worse than him!

But next year, I'll be able to confirm that you hit one of the All-Stars' two starting strikers. Not a bad thing to get into the All-Stars later. In fact, with your current strength and early All-Stars level, it is still a long way off. Don't worry about that. "

Martin did not mention helping Michael Udin make his All-Star debut earlier.

And Martin overestimated Michael Udin's strength, Michael Udin's defensive influence is still far behind Kevin Garnett!

Although there is no online voting channel yet, Martin can still use Michael Udin's Asian identity to win many new votes, but all this is still too early for Michael Udin.

"You just have to worry about these things. I still have to focus on the game. Compared to the championship, the All-Star is just a stepping stone for me.

Even if it is to sell shoes, the championship core players are more attractive than ordinary All-Star players! "

"You're right, for a better tomorrow, we both do our job!"

Nothing else, Martin left, Michael Udin and Kobe started training after simple physical therapy.

During a rare vacation time, the two secretly practice their dunk...
