Adidas' official Twitter posted: "Our company has a strong interest in Su Yan and sincerely hopes to cooperate with him.
As long as Su Yan is willing,
Our company is willing to offer him an 'exorbitant contract' worth 80 million over 7 years."
This statement shocked the league.
7 years, 80 million.
What kind of concept is that?
LeBron, who entered the league as the chosen one, signed a 7-year, 90 million contract with Nike when he first joined in 2003.
In 2007,
Kevin Durant, as the second pick in the entire U.S. and known as a 'genius,' signed a 7-year, 60 million contract with Nike.
Now,
LeBron has led his team to the NBA Finals, won an MVP, and is the current best small forward.
Kevin Durant is set to win the Scoring Champion in his third year, become an all-star, and be a top-five, even top-three Small Forward in the league.
Both are geniuses, and their careers have proven their worth.
Now, giving Su Yan a 7-year, 80 million contract, which surpasses Kevin Durant's and is only 10 million U.S. dollars less than LeBron's.
All three are Small Forwards.
LeBron and Kevin Durant are geniuses; one was the number one draft pick, the other the second overall pick, both shining brightly.
What about Su Yan?
He is just an Undrafted Player, his previous resume was zero, and he has only played 9 games in the NBA... that's it.
Why does he deserve such a high salary?
Fans were stunned, and discussions exploded, especially after news agencies and media radio stations added fuel to the fire with their two-sided reports, making the debate even crazier.
Some thought it was worth it.
Some thought it wasn't.
The arguments were endless.
But what couldn't be changed was... Su Yan's value suddenly soared to an astonishing height.
After all,
Judging solely by Su Yan's performance since the start of the season, it has been impeccable, flawless!!!
In his competition with LeBron, he won twice, taking home player of the week. If not for insufficient games, LeBron's player of the month might also have been snatched away.
This performance is beyond doubt.
So much so that many fans feel that Su Yan getting a 7-year, 80 million U.S. dollar contract is reasonable and fair.
While other shoe companies were still deliberating how much to offer, still comparing Su Yan's performance with that of Kevin Durant, LeBron, and others,
And pondering Su Yan's future potential,
Su Yan had already landed an exorbitant contract that surpassed Kevin Durant's and approached LeBron's, earning considerable recognition.
In an instant,
Su Yan's market value in the shoe industry skyrocketed, reaching the heavens!!!
The news spread quickly.
In the afternoon,
Su Yan arrived at the arena; the players already knew, and he had also received a call from Augustine, learning the news.
Moreover,
Augustine told him that this was just an initial probe from Adidas and not the final price.
In short: it could still go higher.
However... currently, only Su Yan knew this.
"That's incredible!"
David Lee was stunned.
McGrady also sighed with emotion: "Is this the commercial value possessed by a potential stock in the small ball era?!
Yan,
You're truly fierce!"
"This is pure strength!"
Curry also clapped his hands in praise, genuinely happy for Su Yan, "This is the value a Top-tier 3&D Player possesses."
"Ha~"
Su Yan smiled and humbly said, "I'm not as great as everyone says; the Adidas management... must have been really drunk last night."
"Hahaha, drunk, really?"
"Yan, you're as humble as ever."
The players laughed along.
Everyone celebrated Su Yan's success while training.
Soon,
Coach D'Antoni also walked over; he had naturally heard about it and gave Su Yan a thumbs up.
However,
Since the matter was not yet finalized, early celebration was unnecessary.
He gathered everyone and said, "It's a new month, and we're on a 9-game winning streak, full of momentum.
However,
Our upcoming opponents are not to be trifled with.
The Nets (away), Thunder (away), and Denver Nuggets (home).
Leaving aside the Nets, the Thunder are fifth in the Western Conference, and the Denver Nuggets are second, with both teams having a winning percentage above 60%.
The gap is not large.
All are powerhouses.
The Thunder have the thunders big three, and Kevin was the player of the week in the Western Conference last week.
The Denver Nuggets have Sweet Melon Carmelo Anthony and Chauncey Billups. Carmelo was the Western Conference player of the month.
Strong core players, strong team strength.
All are tough opponents. Although we have home-court advantage, it won't be easy to conquer them. This is the biggest challenge we've faced during our winning streak.
Everyone must give their all!"
"Oh!"
The passionate Tyson was the first to shout, and Curry followed, yelling: "We will take it seriously and defeat every opponent!"
...Meanwhile.
Thunder locker room.
"Bang!"
Kevin Durant slammed his fist on a chair and snorted, "Don't joke around, when did an Undrafted Player get a shoe contract higher than mine?!
I'm not even convinced that LeBron, that guy with brute strength and terrible skills, got a higher shoe contract than me.
Su Yan?
What right does he have?!"
Kevin Durant was very angry.
Westbrook also sided with him, "Exactly... he just made a few Three-point Shots that went against the era and generated some buzz.
He and Kevin are not on the same level.
7 years, 80 million?
It's a complete joke. I don't think he deserves 7 years and 20 million."
"It's too fake!"
Harden also shook his head, "I even suspect it's a gimmick, just to build momentum for Su Yan.
After all, he has the Chinese market backing him.
The NBA needs to use the hype he generates to bring in the Chinese market."
"Ah?"
Westbrook was taken aback, surprised, "Harden, you go to nightclubs every day, I didn't expect... you to have such a high business acumen?!"
"Not bad, not bad!"
Harden smiled.
Kevin Durant's face was cold, "It must be that last time the New York Knicks' comeback gave them ideas.
The second match against the New York Knicks is coming soon.
Just wait.
When I crush the New York Knicks and blow out Su Yan, his 7-year, 80 million contract will become a laughingstock!!!"
...ESPN, seeing Adidas' move, and also seeing the New York Knicks and Thunder about to play a rematch, considering the 20-point comeback in their first encounter,
Instantly,
They had a topic to hype up.
They went straight to it, playing it real.
ESPN published a report saying: Su Yan's 20-point comeback against the Thunder means he can get a 7-year, 80 million U.S. dollar shoe contract anytime he agrees.
He's already playing better than Kevin, his contract is bigger than Kevin's, completely dominating Kevin.
Curry's recent form isn't bad either; he has Three-point Shots and can organize, making him a key contributor to the New York Knicks' 9-game winning streak.
One of the new york twin stars.
His strength and potential are completely above Russell's.
As for Harden, besides having a thick beard, he's useless, completely wasting the name of the third overall pick.
Rematch: New York vs. Thunder.
new york twin stars vs. thunders big three.
New York will win!!!
New York's two rookies completely dominating the thunders big three?
Whether fans believed this news when it spread was unknown.
First, fans were eagerly anticipating the upcoming match between the New York Knicks and the Thunder.
Second, the thunders big three, upon seeing the report, were furious, wishing they could immediately tear apart the new york twin stars to prove themselves!!
