If he wanted to score 30 points, Lin Yu had to find a way to adjust to his poor state in two consecutive games. He probably understood that the poor state in these two games was due to excessive consumption in that game against the Bobcats.
His physical condition has never been good, and after that heavy exertion, he couldn't recover for a few days.
But thinking about it, before playing the Celtics game, the Cavaliers will rest for two days. If there are any physical problems, they should have recovered.
To be on the safe side, Lin Yu asked David Alexander to take a physical test on himself the day before the game, and he also practiced shooting to ensure that there was no problem with his condition.
Before dinner, Amanda Gray arrived.
"You are leaving for Boston tomorrow? Is there any problem with your physical fitness?"
The second game between the Cavaliers and Celtics was an away game. The Cavaliers needed to go to Boston. Faced with some doubts about Amanda Gray, Lin Yu nodded and shook his head: "It's only how far from Cleveland to Boston, and it's not a long distance."
trek."
"Okay, the sneaker endorsement results are in. Basically, the bids from several sneaker brands have come to the end."
"Tell me about it."
Amanda Gray has prepared the documents.
"Let's start with the highest offer. Li Ning and Anta are the same as last time. Their offer is already the highest and cannot be higher. However, Li Ning has given another offer for a non-lifetime contract, with a five-year term and a total of
It’s worth 100 million, plus 5% of the sneaker sales share, and some bonus terms, NBA personal honors, international competition performance rewards, etc.”
"Then came Under Armor. This time they reacted and the second offer was very sincere. They offered a 6-year guaranteed contract worth US$70 million, plus a more generous bonus clause, which is about every
If you get a personal honor, you will be rewarded with 3 million US dollars; if you win the championship and FMVP, you will be rewarded with 5 million US dollars."
"Nike's offer is the same as last time, US$80 million over seven years, but bonus terms are also added."
"Lastly it's Adidas. They increased it by US$10 million, 60 million in five years, plus bonus clauses."
The document was handed to Lin Yu, which meant that Lin Yu could make his own choice.
Lin Yu has been thinking about it. He first ruled out a lifetime contract. He felt that at his age, it was not the time to consider a lifetime contract.
If he reaches Jordan's ability in the future, he will deserve a better lifetime contract.
So, when choosing between non-lifetime contracts, Nike and Adidas have technical advantages, Li Ning has the advantage of contract price, and Under Armor has the advantage of bonus clauses.
He was really a little confused.
"David, who do you think I should choose?"
He chose to ask the opinions of people around him. As a senior trainer, David Alexander is a good person to ask.
David Alexander leaned against the bar in the restaurant and took a sip of coffee: "If it were me, I would choose Nike. They have the strongest technological power and the richest capital."
Compared with more than two years ago, Lin Yu's thoughts have also changed, because he found that David Stern seemed to appreciate him a little, and he voted for Curry's Under Armor, fearing that he would have to wait until Xiao Hua took office.
It would be better to simply join Nike in order to achieve Jordan's achievements, plan early, and find a way to get Jordan-like treatment from Nike.
Thinking of this, Lin Yu made a decision: "Let's go with Nike, Amanda, and talk to them again to see if we can raise the price, emmm... just tell them that Under Armor has the priority to renew the contract, and they
If you want to sign me, you have to match Under Armor’s bid first.”
Although everyone knows that the right of priority to renew is a useless right, it is still very useful to raise prices.
Amanda Gray nodded: "I will talk to the person in charge of Nike again."
"By the way, Christmas is coming soon. I have to prepare some Christmas gifts. Amanda, do you have any good suggestions?"
Amanda Gray's first reaction was not to give advice, but to ask: "Am I worthy of the gift?"
Lin Yu nodded: "Of course, but I already have ideas for your gifts. I'm asking about gifts for teammates and coaches."
"You can try a watch, many NBA star players will give it to you as a gift."
David Alexander gave a suggestion first, and Lin Yu shook his head: "Nothing creative, I need creative suggestions."
In comparison, Amanda Gray was much more reliable. She first asked Lin Yu some questions to analyze a suitable gift.
"What gift did you give last year?"
"Customized suits."
"It's not an expensive gift, but this year is different. You have signed a big contract, and your advertising endorsements have also increased a lot. In the NBA, you are a rich man, so you have to give something more expensive, or someone with more money."
Creative stuff.”
"So what is it?"
"Watches, watches priced between $10,000 and $20,000."
Lin Yu made a somewhat helpless expression, and David Alexander on the side spread his hands, meaning, look, Amanda Gray also thinks that a watch should be given.
"There is no way, the best choice for men's luxury goods is watches."
Lin Yu was helpless and shook his head: "Okay, Amanda, then you can help me buy gifts. Everyone in the team has one watch, about 30 of them."
"Ok!"
Lin Yu had to pay nearly one million U.S. dollars for a Christmas gift. The life of a rich man is beautiful, but it also costs a lot of money.

On the day of the game between the Cavaliers and Celtics, the Cavaliers departed from Cleveland for Boston.
Before boarding the plane, Lin Yu was stopped by several reporters at the airport and asked some questions.
"Lin, the last two games have been in average shape. Can he adjust back when playing the Celtics?"
Lin Yu's answer was affirmative: "Of course, I will adjust my condition to the best."
"If unfortunately you lose to the Celtics, what actions or thoughts will you have?"
"I don't have any ideas and I won't take any action. It's not like I haven't lost to the Celtics in the previous seasons."
It sounded like he had no idea about the game in the evening and was very indifferent.
In fact, he has adjusted his condition to the best. Just waiting for the game to start, he will vent the depression of the previous two games into this game against his old team.
He said he didn't care about winning the game, but in fact he had already decided to strike hard.
After arriving in Boston, the Cavaliers didn't have much time to rest and rushed directly to the arena.
Returning to the TD North Shore Garden Arena again, Lin Yu's mood is not that complicated. On the one hand, he already won a big victory here last year. On the other hand, he can be sure that he will not be ignored by Boston fans.
Shush.
For this game, the Cavaliers are relatively well prepared, because this game is not only Lin Yu's rematch with his old team, but also a battle for the top spot in the Eastern Conference.
Both teams have a record of 18 wins and 4 losses, but the Cavaliers are ranked first in the Eastern Conference by virtue of their win-loss advantage. If the Cavaliers win, they will expand their advantage, and if the Celtics win, they will complete the game.
