"Hey, sickle, which brand of basketball shoes are you going to sign?"
Demar saw Lian Dao playing with his mobile phone, so he sat over and asked curiously.
Lian Dao put down his phone and thought for a moment.
"I haven't thought about it, and I don't know! What's wrong, you want to sign with Nike?"
Lian Dao himself has not thought about which shoes he wants to sign. You must know that the biggest contract for a basketball player is a sneaker contract.
Generally, the sneaker contract is the largest among commercial contracts. Although Lian Dao had thought about it before, he did not consider the sneaker contract first until his worth was established.
"There's this idea, you know, I want to sign with Nike under the 'Kobe Bryant Project.'" DeMar shrugged.
This is true. This guy has always regarded Kobe as his idol. He has always said before that the team he wants to go to the most is the Los Angeles Lakers.
However, this chance is almost non-existent.
First, the Lakers' record this season is very good. Not surprisingly, they should have the first place in the regular season record. And the excellent record means that the Lakers' draft picks should be at the end of the first round and the end of the second round.
This basically has no operability. With DeMar's current status, he will never reach the end of the first round.
And if the trade goes through, the Lakers will suffer a lot, which is not necessary for the current Lakers!
Second, Kobe Bryant, the Lakers’ star player, and DeMar’s position overlap. Demar doesn’t have many opportunities even if he comes to the Lakers. The fastest progress for players is during their rookie contract. If they don’t have a lot of playing time, it will not be conducive.
Demar's growth!
"However, I didn't agree. We don't even have an agent yet. I feel it's a bit early to talk about these things. I don't understand some of the contract details. I think it's better to wait until we sign an agent before we consider it."
Demar then said again.
Lian Dao also nodded. Although this guy wasn't good at studying, his brain was on the line and he didn't agree easily!
"However, I will definitely sign Nike's "Kobe Bryant Plan"!"
Demar said firmly.
…
In the new draft prediction list updated the next day, Lian Dao moved from the previous 6th pick to the 3rd pick.
DeMar moved from the previous 7th pick to the 5th pick.
The one with the biggest improvement in pick position is actually Gibson, who went directly to the 14th pick in ESPN's predicted draft.
This is equivalent to three players from the University of Southern California entering the draft prediction 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 this season, Vucevic’s draft prediction
All the way around the end of the second round.
In his previous life, Vucevic participated in the 2011 draft and was selected by the 76ers with the 16th overall pick.
The best draft year for Vucevic should be next season. Due to the departure of the main players, the University of Southern California should build the team around Vucevic next season!
He will get more opportunities and exposure!
If there are no surprises in this year's draft lottery, Lian Dao's predicted draft pick should belong to the Oklahoma City Thunder.
But the Thunder already have Durant at the third position, and if the Thunder chooses Lian Dao, they should 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 this now. The NBA lottery has never been based on odds, and interests account for the majority.
Lian Dao broke two records in this game, which caused many media to rush to report on it.
"Sports Illustrated": The legend will never end.
Los Angeles Sports: USC's Reggie Miller.
Well, it's not Magic Johnson this time.
…
When Lian Dao browsed these reports on the website, some of them made him blush.
All I have to say is that it has never been done before and will never be done again.
However, this also gave Lian Dao a wake-up call. The media is like this. When you are good, they will praise you very highly, but if you are not good at all, they will step you into the mud.
Therefore, Lian Dao did not pay much attention to media comments.
Compared with the United States, although the descriptions in other domestic media are a bit outrageous, at least the "Basketball Pioneer" is still very realistic.
"Breaking two NCAA three-point shooting records in one game, the draft prospects are bright!"
This is the headline of the latest issue of "Basketball Pioneer".
This game was also broadcast domestically.
Lian Dao's scoring method has also attracted many domestic fans to imitate.
This has also led to a lot of people on many basketball courts throwing three-pointers from the outside, with no one going to the basket.
However, this was just the case for the first few days of the broadcast. Later, they still chose to attack under the basket.
Because, they found that compared to three-pointers, scoring from the basket is more practical.
Of course, this broadcast also made Lian Dao one of the most popular athletes in China.
Some celebrities who like basketball were asked if they knew Lian Dao.
Everyone said they knew about it and they also liked Lian Dao's games.
There were even a few celebrities who cheered Lian Dao from the air, saying that Southern California had made it to the finals and they would come to support him and so on.
At that time, when Lian Dao was reading through these interviews, he directly said "good guy"!
Fortunately, there is no Weibo yet. If there was a Weibo, they would have to @ themselves.
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!
…
"March Madness" reaches the Final Four.
The final four are the final champions of each competition area.
They are: the University of Connecticut Huskies in the Western Division; the University of North Carolina Tar Heels in the Southern Division; the Villanova Wildcats in the Eastern Division; and the University of Southern California Trojans in the Midwest Division.
The teams competing in the semifinals are: University of North Carolina Tar Heels VS Villanova Wildcats; University of Connecticut Huskies VS University of Southern California Trojans.
After that comes the finals.
This stage of the competition was held at Ford Field in Detroit, Michigan, and the finals were all held at this venue!
Ford Field is located in Detroit, Michigan, USA. It is an 80,000-seat multi-purpose stadium, sponsored by the Ford Motor Company. The stadium is currently the home of the Detroit Lions of the National Football League.
With an 80,000-seat arena, it can be said that the attention paid to the NCAA semifinals has reached an unprecedented level.
It can be said that starting from the semifinals, the popularity of NCAA games has exceeded that of the general NBA finals.
As for the NCAA finals, basically all competitions in the United States will give way to the NCAA finals.
Therefore, a stadium with 80,000 people can maximize the benefits of this game!
The semi-final match is on April 4th, which means there are still 5 days left before the semi-final match.
At this time, the media across the United States were crazily promoting the NCAA, and the attention of basketball fans also shifted from the NBA to the NCAA!
According to media reports, many NBA stars will go to the game to watch the game!
