Chapter 489 Nike's Big Contract
It's just that the Grizzlies' actions are big and big, but they didn't cause too much surprise.Whether it's Gay or coach Hollins, the former is destined to be traded, it's just a matter of time; and the latter's coaching last season was also criticized and sprayed many times, and it seems reasonable for him to be fired. of.
Coach Hollins has been complained about mainly in the following points: First, his employment is too rigid.The team's 2nd team offense has been weak for two seasons, but it didn't solve this problem until he was fired.Although the configuration of the second team is really not good, there are no good scorers.However, Xie Kai and Black Bear both led the second team before, and the effect was very good, but he didn't do it until he was swept in the playoffs. This is just what makes people feel incredible; second, he is not decisive enough.Gay's problem is already obvious, but he dare not make up his mind to DNP him, he dare not let him play as a substitute, he dare not do anything.Also because he didn't dare to do anything, he could only mess with each other, which made the internal contradictions of the Grizzlies more and more serious, and was finally swept away by the Spurs.
In addition, coach Hollins can still coach.But the current goal of the Grizzlies is not to make the playoffs, but to compete for the championship, so his flaws seem unbearable.
After the end of last season, the Grizzlies have already thought of removing the Hollins coach. It's just that they have been looking for it during the offseason, but they have not been able to find a suitable coach.
It is basically impossible for those big-name coaches to move, and some famous coaches have high asking prices, and they are not willing to come to the troubled waters of the Grizzlies.So one summer has passed, and the Grizzlies have not found a coach who is suitable for their championship.
But Coach Hollins has proved that he can't help the team to compete for the championship, so instead of waiting for death, it is better to change, at least there is hope.In the end, the team focused on internal excavation.
Coach Hollins' successor, Dave Jogel, is the team's chief assistant. He is very young, not yet 40 years old.He was the head coach of the NBDL Dakota Wizards and won the Development League championship in the 2006-07 season.In the past 5 seasons, he has been the assistant coach of the Grizzlies.
This is Dave Jogel's first time as the head coach of an NBA team, which is a great test for him.He is an assistant coach who focuses on defense and helped the Grizzlies build a strong defensive system. Some experts even believe that he will become the second Tom Thibodeau.He has a strong ability to develop young players, and he is both patient and confident in the coaching process.
Soon, the details of Dave Jogel's contract came out.His contract lasts for 4 years and starts at $150 million.Such a salary is relatively low in the NBA head coaching class.No way, he is still a rookie coach and has not led the team to achieve any substantial results. Naturally, his salary cannot be compared with famous coaches like Popovich and Zen Master.
As soon as the news came out, TNT commentator Kenny Smith said: "The Chris team did the right thing. Instead of spending a lot of money to find those so-called famous coaches, it is better to let Dave who is more familiar with the team take office. Who said Surely a young coach can’t do it?”
As the core of the team, Xie Kai expressed his best wishes to Coach Hollins on the social media account he just applied for, and congratulated Coach Dave Jogel on becoming the new coach of the team.
The plateau special training for Xie Kai and others lasted for 10 days. After the special training, his training partners all returned to the United States one after another, while he himself stayed in China and completed another endorsement contract.
The signing of this contract belongs to the dairy industry, and it is NMG Yili Industrial Group Co., Ltd.Zhou Jing helped Xie Kai to sign the contract.
Xie Kai lamented that Zhou Jing is really a business genius, and she was able to help herself after only studying for more than a month.
Xie Kai met with the signing representatives of Yili Group in BJ, and then signed his name on the endorsement contract.In this way, he has four endorsement contracts so far, namely 4. Little Swan Washing Machine, 1 million RMB in 3 years; 200. Wahaha Group, 2 million RMB in 5 years; 2000. Lenovo Computer, 3 million in 3 years 800. Yili Dairy, 4 million RMB in 3 years.
After signing the contract, Xie Kai, Zhou Jing and others boarded a plane in BJ to the United States.
Those people from Nike didn't complete the contract renewal with Xie Kai in China. Seeing that the target returned to the United States, they could only return to the United States in despair.
After arriving in the United States, Xie Kai adjusted his schedule at home in Los Angeles to prepare for the new season.
On the second day after Xie Kai arrived in the United States, he signed a five-year contract with Nike with a total value of 2 million US dollars.
After Xie Kai signed his name, those Nike people who followed him in China for n days finally let out a sigh of relief.Fortunately, this big fish was not allowed to escape, otherwise it would really be impossible to explain to the company.
Nike decided to help Xie Kai create an exclusive signature shoe.
The news of Xie Kai's contract renewal with Nike quickly spread all over the world, and in the United States, it was even wildly discussed.Many people questioned Nike's move, thinking that it was a huge mistake for them to sign Xie Kai with such a big contract. How could they be so stupid to sign a big contract with a Chinese player who has not yet won any hard honors? How much money is a fool?Want to create signature shoes for him?Oh my god, is Nike stupid?
TNT commentator Charles Barkley, known as "Professional Xie Hei", said on a guest TV show: "This is the funniest joke I have heard this offseason. Kane Xie is worth 7500 million US dollars. Endorsement? Forgive me, who can tell me what honors he has? Does he have an MVP? Has he led the team to win a championship? If it is because of the Asian market, then I have nothing to say."
In the entire NBA, there are not many stars with signature shoes, especially those big stars, who basically have no signature shoes.And there are not many stars whose endorsement fee exceeds 1000 million US dollars per year. Xie Kai's contract annual salary has reached 1500 million US dollars this time, which is beyond the expectations of too many people.
In February of this year, Derrick Rose signed a 2 million 2.5-year endorsement contract with Adidas.But because he is the youngest regular season MVP, this contract has not been questioned like Xie Kai is now.
In the face of Barkley's name-calling question, Xie Kai no longer refused to respond as before. He said in an interview with an ABC radio reporter: "As for those who questioned my getting the Nike endorsement contract, I will formally respond here. First of all, I didn't force Nike to sign me, it's all business cooperation, everyone is voluntary; second, Charles Barkley, I respect you as a senior, but you belittle me time and time again, who It is stipulated that only MVP and championship winners can sign big contracts? If I rely on the Asian market, then I can change my nationality if I have the ability. You are welcome to join our Chinese nationality; third, who can tell me, does Barkley have a championship? "
