I'm really not a 3D player

Chapter 82: The largest rookie sneaker contract
Oakland, Oracle Arena.

After deliberation, the coaching staff of the Warriors agreed to the old Nelson's plan and began to formulate tactics for the new season.

Nelson was not idle either. He specially called Sun Yi to the office and explained the team's positioning for him in the new season.

"Coach, thank you for your trust, I will seize the opportunity."

Sun Yi does not exclude playing the fourth position, as long as he can start and have sufficient playing time.

After leaving the head coach's office, Sun Yi found his personal trainer Procopio and explained his positioning for the new season.

After hearing this, Procopio thought for a while, and said: "You have to gain weight again to play the fourth position, which may affect your speed, and you also need to practice some low-post skills, blocking skills, and rebounding skills... "

"I understand, let's take it step by step. Anyway, my fourth position is not a traditional fourth position. There is no need to learn some skills." Sun Yi nodded and replied.

"Well, then I'm going to make a training plan for the next month." Procopio left in a hurry after finishing speaking.

At the same time, Curry also came out of the head coach's office.

"Sun, do you know? I will be the team's starting point guard in the new season. It's great!"

Curry excitedly ran to Sun Yi, and immediately shared the good news with his good brother.

"Stephen, congratulations to you." Sun Yi said sincerely.

"Thank you."

After accepting the good brother's congratulations, the elementary school student began to swell up, raised his eyebrows, and jokingly said: "You should work hard, I believe you will catch up soon, don't envy me too much."

"Stephen, if you are here to show off, you are looking for the wrong person. I have also received a promise from Mr. Nelson that I will not envy you." Sun Yi smiled and conquered the primary school students.

"Man, congratulations, we can fight together again."

After Curry saw that his little thoughts were seen through, he scratched his head and quickly changed the topic.

"Okay, let's continue training. If we don't play well, we will be kicked off."

After Sun Yi finished speaking, he took Curry to the court and continued to complete the daily training that had not been completed before.

One day later, Procopio made plans for the next training session.

Through professional technical analysis, Procopio believes that it is best for Sun Yi to control his weight at around 105 kg, and if he continues to gain weight, it may cause a series of side effects.

Sun Yi readily agreed. Although he had the [Steel and Iron Bone] badge, he didn't have to worry about injuries, but he was right to listen to the professionals.

In the following time, Sun Yi gave up training with Curry and carried out special training step by step according to the training plan formulated by the trainer Procopio.

Under Procopio's professional guidance, Sun Yi can feel that he is making progress every day.

At the same time, getting rid of the entanglement of Sun Yi, a training fiend, Curry continued to carry out special training that he had not completed before, and worked with his trainer Lyles to improve his way of exerting force.

In the following days, Sun Yi and Curry spent every day in the training hall, constantly improving their strength and getting ready for the new season.

Time passed quickly, and it was early September in a blink of an eye.

Generally, NBA teams will hold team training camps in mid-September.

In other words, Sun Yi can still freely control half a month's time.

Originally, Sun Yi planned to train until the team's training camp started, but the plan could not keep up with the changes. He had to spare some time to deal with some commercial endorsements with Schwartz.

After all, taking money and not doing anything, how can there be such a beautiful thing in the world.

"Jeff, long wait."

In front of the gate of the training hall, Sun Yi saw Schwartz, whom he had not seen for a long time, and said hello.

"Sun, you are so hardworking. There is still about half a month before the training camp for the new season will start. Why don't you take a break?" Schwartz asked.

He looked at the stronger Sun Yi and admired him very much.

Other young players spent a lot of money after making a lot of money, but Sun Yi kept his heart and stayed in the training hall for training.

Such a person is not successful, who can be successful!
"There is no time for vacation, there are too many areas to strengthen." Sun Yi replied.

There was nothing he could do. There were too many things to learn, and the system couldn't be upgraded, so he had to practice on his own.

After talking about the past, Schwartz took Sun Yi to the airport in a special car.

On the way, Schwartz reported to Sun Yi on his recent work situation.

"I have already found the press officer you want, and I can report on it next week. There is also the matter of the sneaker contract. Several shoe factories have raised their prices. What do you think?"

"Get rid of these sneaker contracts, I have already implemented this matter."

"Oh, which shoe factory is it?" Schwartz asked.

"Venus Sports." Sun Yi said firmly.

Schwartz was a little confused after hearing this. He had never heard of this name before. It was some kind of fake shoe factory.

Sun Yi saw Schwartz's blank expression and explained.

"This is a shoe factory in China. It has just been established and is not well-known. They offered a 10-year contract worth 1 million US dollars. I can't refuse it!"

Schwartz's first reaction after hearing this was that Sun Yi might have been deceived.

"Jeff, I know you are worried that I will be cheated. Don't worry, this is absolutely true. In a few days, someone will call and inform you to go to Huaxia for inspection, and you will naturally understand."

Within half a month, Sun Yi's mother, Li Sisi, had acquired a medium-sized shoe factory and renamed it Venus Sports Company.

Moreover, they spent a lot of money to dig out several well-known designers from the United States, and the sneaker company has almost been established. As for the full production of sneakers, it will have to wait a few months.

Seeing that Sun Yi was so confident, Schwartz decided to go to Huaxia to see the company, to check for his employer and not let him be deceived.

If everything is true, then Sun Yi will break James' record and become the first in history for the total amount of rookie sneaker contracts.

Of course, on an annual basis, James must be higher.

Venus Sports will also take advantage of this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to make big news and make the first shot in the industry.

After discussing the sneaker contract, Schwartz discussed the itinerary with Sun Yi.

This time they will go to New York to film endorsement ads for Pepsi and Armani suits.

The advertisement for Armani suits was very easy to shoot. Sun Yi’s figure was just a hanger, so he changed a few suits and posed a few poses. There were no lines throughout the whole process, and the filming was finished quickly.

Pepsi's advertisement is also very simple. Their staff took a few photos of Sun Yi, and will choose one of them to print on the can or billboard to achieve the purpose of publicity.

Sun Yi and Schwartz parted ways after spending two days filming the endorsement ads for Pepsi and Armani suits.

Sun Yi returned to Oakland to continue his special training, while Schwartz flew to China to inspect the shoe factory that his employer mentioned.

When all the dust is settled, the new season is coming!
