The NBA started with helping Iverson win the championship

Chapter 51
Li Xun found the next schedule of the Pistons.

At present, the Pistons have 29 games left in the season. They have 53 wins and 27 losses in the previous 26 games.

This is because Li Xun led the team to remain unbeaten, otherwise the current winning percentage of the Pistons would not be able to reach [-]%.

In 29 games, Li Xun was suspended for 13 games, and he has 16 games left to play this season.

"Li, take a good rest during this time."

"Gather up enough strength, and when we come back, we need you to help us achieve a top-five record in the Eastern Conference."

Dumars did not blame Li Xun for being impulsively suspended.

This was something he would have liked to see.

The Pistons have been silent for so long that no one has remembered the fear of the league's teams being dominated by the Pistons.

Now Lee Hoon has undoubtedly awakened their memories.

It's not a blessing, but it's not a blessing. The 13-game suspension, in exchange for other teams' fear of the Pistons, may not be a bad thing.

Li Xun nodded, thinking silently in his heart.

First of all, the Pistons must have no problem entering the playoffs.

Even if he lost all the thirteen games he was suspended for, as long as he made his comeback, there wouldn't be many problems in the remaining sixteen games.

Li Xun still has the confidence to lead the team to the playoffs.

You must know that in the East, the team does not even need to maintain a [-]% winning percentage to get tickets to the playoffs.

Moreover, with the current lineup configuration of the Pistons, it is impossible to lose all [-] games.

That's being in the East.

If you are in the West, you need a winning rate close to [-]% to get tickets. Li Xun is not even sure of making it to the playoffs, let alone the top five in the division.

He clearly remembered that the eighth place in the Western Conference this season was the Jazz. They had 48 wins and 34 losses in the regular season, with a winning percentage of 58.5%!

The Rockets, fifth in the Western Conference, have 53 wins and 29 losses, and their winning percentage has reached 65%!

The reason why the memory is so deep is that this season is the last full season of Yao Ming's career.

It was also the season in which Yao Ming had the best chance of winning the championship in his career.

On the other hand, in the East, the Miami Heat, the fifth in the East, only had 43 wins and 39 losses, with a winning percentage of just 52%.

So after Dumars let Li Xun come back, he led the team to hit the top five in the Eastern Conference, which is not such a harsh requirement.

Li Xun also knows why Dumars has to stare at the top five in the East.

Because there are three powerful teams in the east, namely the Cavaliers, Magic and Green Kai.

If the Pistons' record ranks [-] in the Eastern Conference, they will inevitably face one of them in the first round of the playoffs.

Even if Dumars doesn't think the current Pistons are worse than these three teams.

But who doesn't want to pick up soft persimmons.

……

According to Dumas's arrangement, Li Xun will stay in Pomante Hospital for half a month next.

After half a month, he was discharged from the hospital and began to do "rehabilitation training".

Then come to an inspirational Nirvana and rebirth bridge, so that Li Xun's topic will last for a long time.

I have to say that Dumas is really thinking about Li Xun.

Li Xun is more and more fortunate that he has not left the big family of the Pistons.

If he left, he might not know how he was cheated the next time he fought against the Pistons.

During the half month of "rehabilitation", the league lost Li Xun, and it seemed that the delicacies had lost their condiments, and became much duller.

Li Xun rested here for a few days and started to get busy.

Several sports brand manufacturers approached Li Xun.

First-line brands such as Nike, Adidas, Under Armour, and AND1 all extended an olive branch to Li Xun.

This is not a rare thing.

As the new All-Star MVP and the most talked about player in the league, it would be a surprise if no manufacturer came to Li Xun.

Li Xun also couldn't understand the contracts of these big factories.

They simply brought Dean Pomant over. After all, he is also a licensed lawyer, so there should be no problem with these contracts.

"Nike is going to sign you as a player under AJ, 1000 million in three years."

Pomant carefully read Nike's contract and informed Li Xun of Nike's offer.

Li Xun almost recited it without a breath.

Are you kidding me, AJ has searched to such an extent?

1000 million US dollars in three years, what about the beggars?
He remembered that under normal circumstances, Leonard, who has proven himself, AJ only offered him a four-year contract of about 4 million.

"There are additional clauses in this contract."

"If you fight or do other things that affect the brand image, you will deduct 20% to 40% of your salary."

Pomant continued.

Li Xun was speechless, this is really not taking himself as food.

Who is it?

1000 million in three years, and then they have to act according to their faces.

Isn't this just kneeling to make money?And earn less.

"Where are Adi and Under Armor?"

Li Xun asked with a frown.

"Adi gave 2000 million for five years, a little more than Nike."

"Under Armor gave 500 million for three years, and they don't have much influence in the basketball circle now."

"Basically, you don't need to watch AND1, they just join in the fun, 500 million in two years."

"By the way, except for AND1, the rest of the manufacturers have additional terms similar to Nike."

"If you do something that affects the image of the manufacturer, you will have to deduct money."

Li Xun was so aggrieved after hearing the quotations from the major manufacturers.

In my previous life, I heard too much about those super giants who got ten-year multi-billion dollar contracts. I thought that if I said less, I should at least have an endorsement contract with an annual salary of 1000 million.

The result was good, and the one with the most was Under Armor, who only gave an annual salary of 500 million.

And this requires Li Xun to be a man with his tail between his legs.

"Li, don't feel less."

"After all, you have played too few games now, and they are already taking risks by giving such a contract."

"Think about it, if you get seriously injured after playing for a year, their money will be wasted."

Seeing Li Xun's displeased expression, Pomante quickly offered comfort.

Li Xun nodded, what he said was true.

But he knew that it would not take long for him to rise completely.

Take the Nike contract as an example, Li Xun can hardly imagine how much he can grow in three years.

What is certain is that in three years, I can get at least one MVP, one FMVP and one championship trophy.

Such an achievement, holding a star contract of 300 million US dollars.

If these contracts were signed, wouldn't it be cheaper for these manufacturers?

The key is that I am not short of money now, and there is nothing to spend money at all.

Instead of allowing these foreign manufacturers to take advantage, it is better to make domestic brands cheaper.

Especially Li Ning, that is definitely a big deal.

Wade, who signed at the end of his career, can give a price tag of 10 million US dollars plus shares in 1 years.

Li Xun decided to push all these foreign manufacturers away, and wait for the domestic situation first.

If the price is the same, then he will definitely give priority to signing contracts with domestic manufacturers.

Li Xun still understands that the fat and water don't flow into the fields of outsiders.
