Chapter 398 Summer Strategy and the Method of Breaking Through the Limit of Attribute Points.

Because it is the first time to participate in the national training team, Ye Si's schedule this summer is very busy.

From July 6th to July 11th, Jess will train with the national team in Las Vegas.

After completing a short five-day training camp with the national team, in the summer league in Las Vegas, Yeth led the national team to defeat the Grizzlies, Kings, Cavaliers, Grizzlies and Celtics one after another, and then temporarily left the national team.

After the national training team completes the training camp in the United States, it will be disbanded and will gather again to play the Starkovic Cup and the Asian Championships in half a month.

After the disbandment of the national training team, Yesi did not get a chance to rest. From July 12th to July 25th, Yesi needed to cooperate with "Yes Sports" to conduct a China tour.

According to the plan of Bezos and Amazon, this year's Yes Sports China tour is very important.

Bezos will lead the team himself.

Ye Si is in charge of the China trip in July, and Roy will be in charge in August.

This year's Yes Sports China Tour, Yes and Roy's tasks are quite heavy.

After all, compared to the number of Nike's star players, Yes Sports has only two players, Yes and Roy.

Now Yes Sports is very popular in China, and the Chinese market has become the most important market for 'Yes Sports' besides the United States.

This is a market that beats Nike no matter what.

Bezos also knows that entrusting a large market like China to Ye Si and Roy is indeed too burdensome.

Moreover, it is not conducive to the development of markets in other Asian countries. Ye Si and Roy have been in China for too long and cannot leave, and cannot go to other markets.

So Bezos has also been looking for a third star in the 'Yes' sports.

Yess knew that Bezos had contacted Yao Ming, but the seven-year, $50 million contract Yao Ming and Reebok signed in 2003 did not expire until 2010.

Yao Ming never thought of rescinding the contract with Reebok now.

The sales of Yao Ming's Reebok sneakers are mediocre. After all, the big men don't sell shoes, and the peak O'Neal sneakers don't have much sales.

But what Bezos wants is not sales but the influence of Yes Sports in China.

After failing to sign Yao Ming,

Bezos is eyeing McGrady, who is very popular in China, but McGrady signed a lifetime contract with Adidas.

Bezos' positioning of the third star is mainly because he has great influence in China now or in the future.

In order to open up the Chinese market.

So the target has been staring at China's two home teams, the Supersonics and the Rockets.

Except for Ye Si, everyone in Supersonic has a great reputation in China, but they are all notorious.

But the Rockets' stars are not so easy to find.

This gave Bezos quite a headache.

"Yes, do you have a suitable candidate?"

"Durant."

"..."

"Yes, I'm serious."

"I'm serious too."

When Durant announced his participation in the draft, he was a favorite in the sneaker market. In the NCAA, Durant's style of play is quite beautiful and chic. This is a good seed that can sell shoes.

Both Nike and Adidas have offered Durant sneaker contracts.

In the end, Durant rejected Adidas and reached a seven-year 90 million signing intention with Nike.

But after Durant and him singled out and failed to score a point, Nike tore up the rookie signing contract, which was second only to James, regardless of its image.

After Nike tore up the intention contract, Adidas has no interest in Durant.

Durant, who was originally a favorite in the sneaker market in the future, suddenly no one cares about it.

And this is an important reason why Durant gave up on himself in the Seattle training camp.

Being looked down upon and abandoned by others, the media and fans say that they have had a good time.

But Nike told him with real actions and money that he was "fallen".

He is no longer the proud son of heaven that everyone is looking forward to.

At that time, Durant, who was full of resentment, fired his agent and James' former agent, Aaron Goodwin.

Aaron Goodwin was fired by James because his twin brother had an affair with James' mother.

Now it is unlucky to bear Durant's grievances and be fired for no reason.

Durant's current agent is Dean Simmons.

It wasn't Jesse's thread.

He would never pimp for their Garfield Five agency.

As the No. 2 pick in the NBA, Durant is full of malice from the world even though he hasn't played a game yet.

But the second place is the second place, the infamy is false, but the money is real. The rookie contract is close to 20 million in 4 years.

That's a lot of money.

Durant finally chose Dean Simmons after interviewing a bunch of agents.

I heard from Simmons that other agents were teaching Durant how to do it during the interview.

Only he is listening to Durant.

"KD is a very sensitive and delicate person, he longs to be respected."

"KD is very awkward, but even more awkward people, I have been with for so many years, of course there is no problem in getting KD!"

This ball!

Bezos couldn't understand why Yeth recommended a player who was "the pot of this world".

But he finally agreed.

He always respected Ye Si's opinion.

As much as Yeesh respects him.

Yess has been very useful in buying shares of Amazon whenever he has a little spare cash on his hands.

Yeth's boss is Bill Gates, and Yeth doesn't buy Microsoft to buy his Amazon, which is very comfortable.

Besides, since Yes is so optimistic about Durant, then Durant shouldn't be that bad.

The vision of Yes should be trustworthy, right?

Maybe?

Bezos is not so confident, because the bunch of "Jordan" and "Magician" that Yes is optimistic about have "fallen" in the summer league.

The sound of the bottles breaking one by one was cruel and beautiful.

However, Durant is not a "Jordan" or "magician", he is just a combination of Rudy Gay and Novak.

If Durant really shows the potential and strength of Rudy Gay in Seattle one day, Yes Sports will not lose money by signing him.

Rudy Gay's potential and strength play next to Yes, and he has a chance to be an All-Star.

It can also gain huge influence in China.

I am afraid that Durant will not reach the height of Rudy Gay.

In any case, since Yes supports the signing of Durant, let's sign it. Durant now is not worth much anyway.

"Jeff, wait a minute."

"Yes, is there anything else you want to order?"

"Don't offer Durant less than Nike's seven-year, $90 million contract."

"..."

Bezos has that look on his face are you kidding me.

"Below this contract, he won't sign."

The look on Bezos' face had turned into disbelief.

Can a "pot of this world" who has been abandoned by the world be so willful and stubborn?

"KD, Yes Sports wants to sign you a sneaker contract!"

YesSports?

Sneaker contract?

Now someone actually handed him a sneaker contract.

Originally, according to his plan, he was going to reject Nike once after he was ready to show his worth. It didn't matter who he signed with, but he had to reject Nike once.

He hasn't typed this out yet, how did this contract come?

"Help me refuse."

"Refused? KD, are you crazy? This is a 7-year 91 million contract!"

"How many?!"

"91 million in 7 years!"

"..."

Durant dropped the basketball after Dean Simmons repeated it.

YesSports...

yes...

The expression on Durant's face was constantly changing.

The first stop of Ye Si's China trip was his hometown, Modu.

On July 13, 2007, Beijing time, when Ye Si came out of the airport, there was already a sea of ​​people outside the airport.

Yes’s return to China this time is mainly to promote ‘Yes Sports’.

He wants to be low-key, but he can't be low-key.

After having dinner with his parents on July 13th, Ye Si took Xiaoyao out the next day.

Xiaoyao is on summer vacation now, and the students of Shanghai Drama Academy usually go out to film during the summer vacation.

Xiaoyao is not interested in filming during the summer vacation, but is very interested in traveling with Ye Si in China.

Xiaoyao not only wants to travel to China with Ye Si, but also goes to the Asian Championships with him.

And it wasn't herself, she also brought her 'good sister' Lin Qiuyi.

Ye Si really didn't know that the two would become "good sisters" after returning from the United States.

On July 14th, after Ye Si took Tang Xiaoyao and Lin Qiuyi through all the itineraries in Shanghai during the day, he would accept an exclusive interview with CCTV at night.

CCTV attached great importance to this interview. When Ye Si and Tang Xiaoyao and Lin Qiuyi came to the hotel, besides the familiar Wang Han, the reporters who interviewed him also included Yang Huahua, Wang Yuanyuan, and Su Qun.

This joint interview supplemented by CCTV's first sports weekly and the Basketball Pioneer is the largest exclusive interview in Yesi's career.

He has never accepted such a large-scale interview before, whether in the United States or in China.

It's not that there are no journalists and the media are willing to interview him, but he has never given these media opportunities before.

So, for this joint visit, although the hosts are Wang Han, Yang Huahua, Wang Yuanyuan and Su Qun.

But there are a bunch of American media who followed Bezos on the periphery. They don't have the right to visit, but they can watch from the sidelines.

The American reporters sitting on the periphery looked at Wang Han, Yang Huahua, Wang Yuanyuan and Su Qun who were sitting opposite Ye Si, with envy written all over their faces.

"Yes first of all congratulations, you played an epic season last season."

"Thank you, but it's not an epic, it's a legend."

Ye Si replied seriously.

"..."

Wang Han, who asked the question, and Yang Huahua, who was next to him, seemed to have a flock of crows flying over their heads.

Even Tang Xiaoyao, who was watching, looked like he didn't know what to say.

Is there a difference between epic and legendary?

Is there a difference? !

I have to stress, can't we just say thank you and call it a day?

On the contrary, Lin Qiuyi was not surprised at all.

Get used to it.

He's always been a chatterbox.

"Yes, let's talk about this year's draft. It is rumored that the Supersonics drafted Durant with the second pick at your behest? Why? Some people say it's because he is an enlarged version of Rondo?"

"The same can be said."

"Why? Why do you have a soft spot for players of Rondo's stature?"

"Strong enough and long enough."

"The bones are hard, but the arms are long?"

"yes."

"Then do you want Yi Jianlian?"

"want to."

"Then why not choose?"

"The management of other teams is not blind, and the 46th pick in the second round cannot be selected."

"Are you more optimistic about Durant than Yi Jianlian?"

"yes."

"But we have also seen it now, not only us, even the American media experts look down on Durant, why do you have so much confidence in Durant?"

"Everyone can have their own standards. I respect your standards. You can use your standards to look at Durant, Rondo and Millsap, and I can too."

"Even as you said, according to your standards, with your full training, Durant, Rondo, and Millsap may eventually become talents, but how much will it cost, how much time, five years? Or ten years?" years? Your career is only a few years? Don’t you know all of this?”

"Know."

"After all, you still want to save Durant and the others!"

"They don't need me to save them."

Is it so intense?

Tang Xiaoyao, Lin Qiuyi and the American reporters beside them were all dumbfounded.

They really did not expect this joint visit to be so intense.

Ye Si knew that Wang Ha and the others were not fierce, and not all these issues could be decided by them.

It can only be said that he used this year's second pick to select Durant and caused too much resentment in the domestic public opinion circle.

After asking those questions that were not decided by them, Wang Han felt his palms were sweating.

It finally ended smoothly.

"Yes, this is the end of the questions about you and the Supersonics. Many domestic fans are also full of curiosity about you personally. Some questions here are asked on behalf of domestic fans. Can you please answer them?"

"Can."

"Who is your favorite player in the NBA and why?"

"Yao Ming, he is the idol of all Modu people."

"Except for Yao Ming?"

"James, his affection for Cleveland is an example to all."

Yao Ming can understand that James is his second favorite?

Originally, Su Qun thought that Ye Si's second person would answer Jordan.

"No Jordan?"

"Jordan is not for liking."

"Isn't Jordan for liking?"

"It is used to surpass."

Ye Si's voice was very calm, audible Su Qun and their scalps were numb.

After the American reporter next to him learned about this group of questions and answers through the translator, the expression on his face was not only excited and excited.

Seeing these American reporters like this, Wang Han and the others were very worried.

Su Qun is also very self-blaming, if she knew about it, she wouldn't have asked!

Jordan's side is the real Pippen, and Yeth's Pippen is Durant.

The one next to Jordan is the real Rodman, and the one next to Yeth is Millsap?

The one next to Jordan is the real BJ-Armstrong, and the BJ Armstrong next to Yeth is Rondo?

Take the head and surpass it!

"Who's the best player to guard you in the NBA?"

"Bruce Bowen, Hamilton, Prince, James."

"Who is the toughest player to guard in the NBA?"

"Kobe, McGrady, Iverson."

"Can you tell me about the strongest lineup in NBA history in your mind?"

"O'Neal, Duncan, Bird, Jordan and Yeth."

How immodest!

Tang Xiaoyao secretly looked at those American reporters, and found that these American reporters didn't think there was anything wrong with Ye Si's answer this time.

Tang Xiaoyao accompanied Ye Si tonight to participate in this joint interview organized by CCTV, and the whole process was full of fear.

After two hours of interviews and small talk, this worried Tang Xiaoyao, but the excited interview with American reporters was finally over.

"Yes, can you be a little more tactful and humble when you accept interviews in the future?"

"no."

Magic City is Yesi's hometown. This trip to Yes Sports lasted thirteen days. In thirteen days, there were 20 cities to visit, and each city was less than a day away.

And in Shanghai, Ye Si needs to stay for two days.

However, it was different from the first day's running itinerary. On the second day, Ye Si mainly met celebrities from all walks of life in the Demon City.

In the evening, Ye Si also met with the leaders of the sports department.

In addition to the leader of the men's basketball team, Ye Si unexpectedly met the leader of the track and field.

"Xiaoye, I hope you can lead the team to participate in the World University Games in Bangkok this year."

"In addition to serving as the flag bearer and the captain of the men's basketball team, I also hope that you can try to participate in some track and field competitions, especially the half marathon."

Tang Xiaoyao, who had been by Ye Si's side all the time, had a look of hell on her pretty face after listening to the leader's words.

"The Universiade? And half marathons and track events? Isn't Jess a basketball player?"

How can any basketball player participate in track and field events? Are there such people in this world?

Compared with the surprised Tang Xiaoyao, Lin Qiuyi was much calmer.

"This year's Universiade is testing the waters. Do you want Jess to represent the track and field team in next year's Beijing Olympics?"

Lin Qiuyi frowned her pretty brows, and said in a cold tone.

"The little girl is very smart."

Athletics in the Beijing Olympics?

really?

Jess was a little surprised.

The leader of the men's basketball team told him just now that he hoped that he could continue to participate in the Universiade after the Asian Championships.

Jesse understood.

The Universiade is known as the Little Olympics.

In the 2001 Beijing Universiade, the men’s basketball team led by Yao Ming, Wang Zhizhi, Battelle, Zhu Fangyu, Du Feng and others defeated the American men’s basketball team led by Juan Dixon at the Universiade, and finally reached the final and lost to Yugoslavia. It has reached the best result in the history of Chinese men's basketball team in international competitions.

If it is to participate in the World University Games after the Asian Championships, of course Ye Si is willing to participate.

Compared with the Asian Championships, he is even more willing to participate in the World Universiade.

It's just that what he doesn't understand is that the men's basketball leader also hopes that he can also take part in the half marathon and other track and field events by the way.

He likes to run, that's right.

But I never thought about competing as a track and field athlete.

Although his marathon run at the All-Star Game in Las Vegas shocked the world.

I hope I can test the waters in the Universiade, the goal is to let me participate in the track and field events of the Beijing Olympics?

"Old Du, just say it straight."

The leadership of the men's basketball team was very helpless.

"Originally, I didn't want to put pressure on Xiaoye. If Xiaoye's performance in the Universiade is good, I would hope that Xiaoye will represent the national track and field team in the Beijing Olympics. .”

"If it wasn't really impossible, I wouldn't bother Xiaoye."

The track leader sighed.

"Old Du really can't help it. Now Liu Xiang's injuries are intermittent. In the 2008 Olympic Games, he may not have a gold medal in track and field."

"Of all the events in the Olympic Games, only the champion of track and field plays the national anthem in the Bird's Nest."

"The country is looking forward to a century of prosperity. If the national anthem cannot be played at the Bird's Nest, it will be a pity for all Chinese sports people."

Playing the national anthem at the bird's nest?

Ye Si was stunned for a moment, and Tang Xiaoyao and Lin Qiuyi beside him were also stunned.

"The highest hall of sports in one's own country plays the national anthems of other countries. This is a pity that no amount of gold medals can make up for."

"Xiaoye, your marathon and long-distance running and even your short cannon are the only hope to play the national anthem in the bird's nest!"

"If Xiaoye finds it really difficult, just pretend..."

"I agree."

Before the leader of Tian Guan finished speaking, Ye Si agreed.

"Except for hurdling and relay, I will participate in all track events."

Special task: Participate in the half marathon of the 2007 World University Games.

Reward: Champion Stamina +1

Special task: Participate in the 10,000-meter race in the 2007 World University Games.

As soon as Ye Si finished speaking, his giant star system had a special change again.

Jess was surprised.

This is how the attribute point breaks through 90, the way to break through the limit? !
