On the practice field, Gao Wen was sweating profusely. He stood in the center of the service line, keeping his feet in a high-speed stance, and his center of gravity was ready to kick off the ground at any time. Then, under Sampras's command, he headed towards
Move laterally to the left or right side, touch the outside line of the teeing area, return to the position as quickly as possible, and continue to wait for the next password.
The whole person is always in a state of being ready to go. seemingly simple training puts forward very high demands on physical strength and energy, and requires a high degree of concentration.
Bang bang bang.
Sampras was still beating the beat with both hands, controlling the speed of Gao Wen's step on the spot. He could not maintain a uniform speed, but needed to disrupt the rhythm by going fast and slow to ensure that he could complete quick reactions at different speeds——
This year's US Open, Kei Nishikori is indeed in a "crazy" state. The entire hitting feel and shot belief can be felt from the inside out. There are many incredible fairy balls. Last night Raoni
Qi had performed to his best, but still regretted missing out on victory.
I am afraid that in the next quarter-finals, the impact and threat brought by Kei Nishikori will be even greater than that of Wawrinka.
If Sampras analyzes objectively, Kei Nishikori does have a greater chance of winning.
But it is precisely because of this that Gao Wen's training enthusiasm is high today and he is full of fighting spirit for the upcoming competition tomorrow. The challenge is always worth looking forward to.
Tobias stood on the sidelines watching Gawain's training. Before going to watch Dimitrov's game, he made a special trip to see Gawain's condition——
It didn't disappoint.
As Gao Wen said, he did not lose himself because he achieved such a good result in his first Grand Slam and was surrounded by the media's praise; he always stayed awake and focused, placing himself in front of challengers.
In terms of position, be prepared to attack your opponent.
In the quarter-finals, whether facing Raonic or Kei Nishikori, Gawain needs to go all out without reservation, and there is no room for luck.
It is precisely because of this that Gao Wen put forward very strict requirements for his training. After the explosion and reaction training, he asked Sampras about his performance just now, and conducted a review and summary on the spot. After a short rest of 60 seconds,
I started the second set of training again, striving for excellence and strictly demanding myself.
Seeing Gawain's sweaty appearance, as if he had just walked out of a sauna, Tobias couldn't help but show a hint of admiration in his eyes:
As expected of Gawain.
Sizzle.
The vibration of his cell phone in his pocket interrupted Tobias' thoughts. He took out his cell phone and looked at it, and then he showed a smile. It was Raonic's agent.
Unsurprisingly, Raonic did not leave Flushing immediately after the game last night, but came to watch Gawain train. Maybe he could give Gawain some first-hand information about Nishikori Kei, but why not Raonic?
Onichi contacts Gawain, but the agent contacts the agent?
When Raonic appeared and saw New Balance's brand representatives next to him and his agent, the answer emerged.
Last night, after experiencing the battle between heaven and man, Tobias decided to stay put for the time being and continue to wait and see. However, this does not mean that nothing is done. Tobias still quietly released the news through his own channels, and the crocodile suddenly emerged.
The news is released.
One stone stirs up thousands of waves.
It is conceivable that all major brands should stay up all night, discussing strategies and analyzing the current situation——
Should we continue to compete for Gaowen's sponsorship contract? Can the costs and benefits be proportional? If we are ready to give up, are there alternatives? If we continue to insist, how should the contract terms be more competitive?
Seven hundred thousand dollars per year, what does such a benchmark mean to their respective brands? Can they propose a higher figure? If not, what conditions should be proposed to impress Gao Wen?
In fact, there is really no need to be so anxious about sponsorship and endorsements. You can wait until the end of the US Open, look at Gao Wen's final results and see Gao Wen's market impact, and then propose a cooperation agreement. This is obviously more rational and more reasonable.
Choice, this is the case for many brands that are waiting hard to sign with Gao Wen.
One or two of them were ready and ready to go, but all of them were holding back for the time being.
The situation of sports brands is slightly special. After all, Gao Wen is currently wearing a UCLA uniform. If he can change into a certain brand of clothing for the next game, the influence will naturally be different; but the special effects are ultimately limited, and Tobias
Never let go, which is why most sports brands are waiting to see what happens——
Let’s wait until the end of the US Open to talk about everything.
However, an unexpected situation broke the balance and stirred up a thousand waves. So one and two people got busy, swearing and convening an impromptu meeting to discuss the next plan. This was a grand occasion.
After dawn broke, Tobias had received contact testers from seven sports brands. Obviously, no one was willing to give up easily.
But obviously these seven companies are still not all. New Balance also firmly seized the opportunity. Even Raonic, who just lost last night, did not have time to lick his wounds and was caught.
The New Balance representative did not disturb Gawain's training. He only showed his face for a moment and then accompanied him silently. Raonic chatted with Gawain and showed his attitude of being sincere and thinking about everything for Gawain. It was really impressive.
, even Jiang Yanyun asked.
How about New Balance?
After dealing with Gawain's affairs, Tobias went to the training ground where Dimitrov was warming up before the game, and met an old friend from Nike there.
Nominally, they came to care about Dimitrov and expected Dimitrov to make a breakthrough at the US Open; in fact, their goal was Tobias.
Unlike Knox who hit the target with a straight punch, Nike and Tobias are already old friends.
In fact, Nike had originally provided Gao Wen with a sponsorship contract of US$80,000 per year, but Tobias thought the contract number was too small, so he did not agree; after defeating Isner in the first round of the US Open, Nike also
A contract of 250,000 yuan per year was proposed to show sincerity.
In terms of intimacy and sincerity, Nike has always been very good -
In any case, they are old friends with Tobias, and they have many aspects of cooperation with the IMG agency behind Tobias.
Therefore, when Nike came to look for Tobias today, it did not simply and rudely throw out an offer, but made a request that was not excessive but very excessive.
"No matter who it is or what the numbers are, just tell us and let us see if we are still competitive."
As expected of Nike, it is cunning and sophisticated enough.
