Chapter 65: Nike "Project Kobe"
Demar watched Lian Dao playing with his mobile phone, so he sat over and asked curiously.
Lian Dao put down the phone and thought for a while.
"I didn\'t think about it, I don\'t know! What\'s the matter, you want to sign with Nike?"
Lian Dao himself didn\'t think about which shoes he would sign. You must know that the biggest contract for a basketball player is a sneaker contract.
Generally, the sneaker contract is the largest commercial contract. Although Lian Dao thought about it before, he didn\'t think about the sneaker contract before his worth was revealed.
"With this idea, you know, I want to sign under Nike\'s "Kobe Project"." DeMar shrugged.
This is true, this guy has always regarded Kobe as an idol, and he has always said before that the team he most wants to go to is the Los Angeles Lakers.
However, this probability is almost equal to no.
One is that the Lakers\' record this season is very good, and it is no surprise that they should win the first place in the regular season record. And the excellent record means that the Lakers\' draft pick should be at the end of the first round and the end of the second round.
This is basically not operable. With DeMar\'s current state, he will never reach the end of the first round.
And if the trade is passed, the Lakers will bleed a lot, which is not necessary for the current Lakers!
The second is that Kobe, the star of the Lakers, overlaps with DeMar, and DeMar doesn\'t have many opportunities even if he goes to the Lakers. And the player who improves the fastest is during the rookie contract period. If there is not a lot of playing time, it will not be conducive to DeMar\'s growth!
"However, I didn\'t agree. We don\'t even have an agent yet. I feel that it\'s a bit early to talk about it now. I don\'t understand some contract details. I think we should wait until we sign an agent."
DeMar then spoke again.
Lian Dao also nodded. Although this guy doesn\'t study well, his brain is online, so he didn\'t agree easily!
"However, I will definitely sign Nike\'s "Kobe Project"!"
DeMar said firmly.
…
In the new draft prediction list updated the next day, Lian Dao came to the 3rd pick from the previous 6th pick.
And DeMar came from the previous 7th overall pick to the 5th overall pick.
The biggest improvement in the pick is actually Gibson, who went straight to the 14th pick in ESPN\'s predicted draft.
That\'s the equivalent of three USC players entering the draft lottery.
Vucevic should not participate in the draft this year. Although Vucevic has improved a lot compared to the previous life, many skills are still immature, and due to the playing time of this season, Vucevic\'s draft prediction All the way around the end of the second round.
In the last life, Vucevic participated in the draft in 2011 and was selected by the 76ers with the 16th overall pick.
And the best draft years for Vucevic should be in the next season, because of the departure of the main players, the University of Southern California should build a team around Vucevic next season!
He will get more opportunities and exposure!
If nothing goes wrong in this year\'s draft lottery, Lian Dao\'s draft pick should belong to the Oklahoma Thunder.
But the Thunder already has Durant at the third position, and if the Thunder choose Lian Dao, it should be to let Lian Dao play the fourth position or become the team\'s sixth man like James Harden back then!
It\'s too early to say these things. The NBA\'s lottery conference has never been based on chances, and the interests are in the majority.
Because Lian Dao broke two records in this game, many media rushed to report.
"Sports Illustrated": The legend never ends.
L.A. Sports: USC\'s Reggie Miller.
Well, it\'s not Magic Johnson this time.
…
When Lian Dao browsed these reports on the web, some of them made him blush.
It\'s just short of saying that there is no one before, and there will be no one after.
However, this also woke up Lian Dao. The media is like this. When you are good, they will praise you very high, but if there is something bad, they will also trample you into the mud.
Therefore, Lian Dao didn\'t pay too much attention to the media\'s comments.
Compared with the United States, although other domestic media\'s descriptions are a bit outrageous, at least the "Basketball Pioneer" is still very realistic.
"One game, broke two NCAA three-pointer records, and the draft prospect is bright!"
This is the headline of the latest issue of the Basketball Pioneer.
The game was also televised domestically.
And Lian Dao\'s scoring method has also attracted many domestic fans to imitate.
This also led to a group of people on many basketball courts throwing three-pointers from the outside, and no one went to the basket.
However, this was the case in the few days just broadcast, and later they still chose to attack at the basket.
Because, they found that compared with three-pointers, it is more realistic to score from the basket.
Of course, this broadcast also made Lian Dao one of the most popular athletes in China.
When some stars who like basketball were asked if they knew about Lian Dao.
They all said they knew it, and they also liked Lian Dao\'s game very much.
There were even a few celebrities who cheered Lian Dao from a distance, saying that Southern California had reached the finals, and they would come to support it and so on.
At that time, when Lian Dao was flipping through these interviews, he just said "good guy"!
Fortunately, there is no microblog yet, if there is a microblog, they will have to @自己.
Immediately, Lian Dao thought, yes, Weibo has not yet come out, so it can be seen that his biggest golden finger is his own memory!
…

As for the NCAA finals, basically all games in the United States will give way to the NCAA finals.
So a stadium with 80,000 people can maximize the benefits of this game!
