Chapter 207: Eat, Sleep and Fight Knights?

Roy is indeed doing well in the Rockets.

The trust of the head coach, the care of the big brothers on the team, and the love of the fans are very rare for a rookie.

Of all the rookies in the 2006 class, Roy had the best.

Even better than Yes.

According to some current online comments about the 2006 rookies.

Yes is the most tired rookie in history, leading a group of CBA players to hit the NBA playoffs. What is heartbreaking is that the SuperSonics are still in the West.

Bargnani is the worst rookie. No matter how good or bad he performs, you can hear Yes's name wherever he goes, and Yes will follow him for the rest of his life.

JJ Redick is the unluckiest rookie. His apartment in Detroit was visited three times a day by thieves. In the end, three waves of thieves complained about "poor guy" on the Internet.

The security situation in Detroit was getting worse and worse, and Redick was getting more and more drunk.

Roy is the luckiest rookie. He just won the championship as a core player in the NCAA, and he will be able to compete for the championship as a core player again in the NBA.

Moreover, it requires data and popularity. In his first year as a rookie, he was inextricably tied up with Kobe, Nash, and Iverson in the competition for the All-Star starting position.

"Ye, yesterday Nike came to me alone, bypassing our agency. They wanted to give me signed sneakers, and the contract is very generous."

Nike's signature sneaker?

Starting with Jordan and ending with LeBron James, Nike has created exclusive signature sneakers for 17 people in its history.

Not in the NBA, there are only 17 in total.

Among them, the only ones in the NBA are Jordan, David Robinson, Charles Barkley, Penny Hardaway, Jason Kidd, Scottie Pippen, Alonzo Mourning, Kevin Garnett, Gary Payton, Tim Duncan, and Vince Carter. , Kobe Bryant, LeBron James, a total of 13 people.

It's not just any star that Nike can take notice of.

However, Roy barely reached the level.

The core champion of the NCAA, the possibility of a rookie all-star, high popularity at home and abroad, a character that attracts fans and a gorgeous style of play, these all represent future potential.

As long as Roy doesn't get injured midway like Penny Hardaway and leave the NBA in the future.

Roy didn't say how much the specific contract was, but Ye Si could guess that according to Nike's current price for stars with exclusive sneakers, it would be at least US$8 million a year.

That's a plus for any NBA player.

“My cooperation negotiations with Amazon are almost over, you can wait a little longer.”

Cooperation negotiations between Yes and Amazon to jointly form a sports brand have effectively ended.

Yes will sign a lifetime endorsement contract with Amazon.

A lifetime endorsement contract worth US$75 million.

However, the $75 million endorsement fee was paid with Amazon stock, a 0.05% stake.

Generally speaking, US$75 million cannot buy 0.05% of Amazon's shares. This is a benefit Amazon gives him.

In the newly formed sporting goods company, Yesi will use Nike's final offer of US$180 million over 10 years to become a shareholder, occupying 45% of the company's shares.

Because the negotiations have been confirmed, Amazon hopes that Yeos can use his connections to dig up a group of good players in the basketball world.

The first thing Ye Si thought of was Roy.

Yes felt like he didn't have many connections in the basketball world.

Roy is the only one who is qualified to release signed sneakers but has not signed a contract.

In the future, his two apprentices Curry and Oden should be able to do the same. Curry can grow into a five-star player, and Oden should not be bad either.

"I don't know much about these things, just help me decide."

"..."

Ye Si felt that with Roy's IQ, he was not sold. He could only say that he was lucky enough in his life and met some good people.

After the "China Derby" with the Houston Rockets, the Seattle SuperSonics suffered another three-game losing streak.

The Suns, Mavericks, and Rockets, these three teams, the Sonics seem to be unable to win against any of them.

In addition to losing to the Jazz three times this season, the Sonics now have a 7-game losing streak against the top four teams in the Western Conference!

Among the top five teams in the Western Conference, the SuperSonics defeated the Spurs once.

But if the Sonics want to beat the Spurs in the playoffs, they need to be ranked fourth in the Western Conference in the first round.

The fourth position in the Western Conference is currently occupied by the Jazz.

The Jazz are the leader of the Northwest Division, with a current record of 24 wins and 10 losses.

After losing to the Rockets, the Sonics now have a record of 21 wins and 14 losses.

It's extremely difficult for the Sonics to become the leader of the Northwest Region.

It should be said to be impossible difficulty.

Now the SuperSonics are not qualified to choose their opponents in the playoffs. The West is not the East, and the SuperSonics' playoff position is still not that stable.

After beating the Rockets, the Sonics finally ended their brutal six-game losing streak in the Western Conference.

3 wins and 3 losses in six games, which is not a bad result.

Nelson and the Sonics are quite satisfied with the result.

Especially one of the three wins was against the Warriors. This was a two-game win.

After returning to Seattle, Ye Si sent Tang Xiaoyao and Lin Qiuyi back to China.

They originally planned to return to China on January 7, but they have been postponed.

Until January 9th, there was really no way to postpone it any longer, so the two had no choice but to leave.

On January 10, 2007, the Seattle SuperSonics returned home to face the Cleveland Cavaliers.

After the Cleveland Cavaliers lost in that game of destiny, LeBron James went crazy to improve and had a very beautiful winning streak.

The Cavaliers are currently on a consecutive road trip in the Western Conference. Yesterday, the Cavaliers were beaten by the Suns by 32 points in three quarters.

In this back-to-back game, James vowed to avenge his shame.

Moreover, he has to force out the strongest Yes and defeat the strongest Yes!

"The Cavaliers can't find anyone who can match up with Yes, and the Sonics can't find anyone who can match up with LeBron James!"

"The Cavaliers players are too old!"

Back-to-back games don't matter to James, but to the veterans of the Cavaliers, they really cost their lives.

"Yes, the real killer in this game was stimulated by something?"

"The two Chinese beauties are gone."

I see!

105 to 94, the Seattle SuperSonics defeated the Cleveland Cavaliers at home.

In the game, Yeosi made 14 of 26 shots, 3 of 8 three-pointers, and 11 of 12 free throws. He scored 42 points, 7 rebounds, and 7 assists.

Ye Si likes to play knights very much.

The Cavaliers couldn't find anyone who could guard him off the ball, nor could they find anyone who could shut down Milicic and Rondo.

He can score when he wants to score, and he can assist when he wants to assist.

It would be great if all thirty NBA teams were teams with the Cavaliers' style, and all NBA superstars were superstars with James' style of play.

Lost again!

As soon as the game ended, LeBron James walked into the tunnel with a sullen face.

No ball!

No ball again!

Not to mention the strongest Yes, he lost this game without even seeing his full strength Yes!

What was more uncomfortable than losing the game was that James discovered Yes, beat him!
