Chapter 298 New Skills (1/5)
The Spurs retained the winning roster, but their opponents are getting stronger. For the Spurs, defending the title in the new season is not that easy.
Without reinforcement, you can only develop internally.
Tang Tian also understood this truth very well.
In fact, even if the opponent does not strengthen, Tang Tian himself will make progress.
In the NBA, standing still means regressing, let alone his contract year.
Krypton gold makes people powerful.
This offseason, it is time to sign another endorsement contract and redeem a skill that can bring about qualitative changes.
Everyone has different thoughts in each time period.
Tang Tian’s idea during the regular season last season was to exchange for breakthrough skills, and combining sudden shots can make the offense more comprehensive.
But after the playoffs, he realized the importance of passing.
Especially when facing the Heat, the Heat's unlimited defense swaps put a lot of pressure.
He has poor pass stability and even if he knows where to pass, he dares not shoot the ball casually. As a result, he is prone to dead balls.
This also limits that he can only serve as a tactical endpoint and cannot transition.
In addition to the team-style play of the Spurs, with Parker and Ginobili, two ball-holding points, he won't have too many opportunities to break through.
So compared to Tuo, he now needs to pass on.
Howard's affairs are still not covered, and the free market is going on. Tang Tian contacted Feigen and asked him to find a new endorsement provider.
He performed well last season's playoffs, and he didn't sign many endorsement contracts before.
Nike, Coca-Cola, Burts.bees shampoo, Dior sunglasses.
There are only a few in total, not enough to count one hand.
So there are still many brands who have signed contracts with him this summer.
Especially the domestic one.
As he became famous, the door to the domestic market was easily knocked open by him.
Companies in chewing gum, milk, beer, mineral water, snacks, and even communications are emerging in all aspects.
After sifting some, Feigan then summarized and sent them to Tang Tian.
Although there are many, the domestic endorsement prices are indeed much smaller than those in comparison.
Good Liyou Chewing Gum, $300,000 a year.
Qingdao Beer, $250,000 a year.
Bright Milk, $400,000 a year.
Nongfu Spring, $300,000 a year.
This is also reasonable, because these endorsement contracts are only from China.
Moreover, these brands are not as concentrated in consumer groups as sneakers.
Tang Tian’s choice is to sign it all!
These brands will have a good reputation in the future. Putting aside whether they can have a richer contract in the future, there is no harm in signing it.
Of course, the most important thing is that he really needs krypton gold value now.
And just as these contracts were finalized, Feigan brought him a big contract.
This time it's a car brand.
And it's BMW!
That is, BMW, which is well-known in China.
BMW is a German luxury car, and this time I came to Tang Tian was considered an unexpected surprise.
The price of car endorsement is not comparable to those of beer and milk. It is also the spokesperson of China, but the price offered by BMW is 2 million in two years.
This one is topped by three.
After signing five endorsement contracts in a row, Tang Tian asked Feigen to stop first.
Although a short contract will not have much impact on him, if there are too many concentrated and explosive signings, it will have side effects.
Of course, what is more important is that after this wave of signing, his krypton gold value is almost enough.
These five contracts have brought about a value of about 1.1 million krypton gold. Including the previous 400,000, the total amount is 1.5 million.
The second year of Nike's contract also began, and he also received more than 600,000 krypton gold value.
This adds up to 2.1 million.
After all the money was paid, Tang Tian pulled out the system interface.
After sweeping around in the blue skill, he finally set his eyes on the fingertip art (Divac).
Fingertip Art (Divac): Increases 15% pass stability and 10% pass vision.
This is a blue skill that requires $2 million in krypton gold.
Divac is the best inside passer of the last century, and he averaged nearly 5 assists per game as a center in his peak season.
The Kings team that was popular in the league was played with him as the axis.
Of course, there is another very important thing that Divac is well-known.
He is the man who switched to Kobe alone.
This skill not only increases the stability of the pass and increases the vision of the pass, which is most suitable for Tang Tian.
He chose to redeem directly.
After redeeming, Tang Tian added the passing stage in the next day's training.
Unlike last summer, because everyone has contracts and has money on hand, the training hall I rented this time is relatively large and comprehensive.
There is a box that is specially used to train passing balls, which is the same as the one in the Skills Challenge.
Walker usually uses this kind of thing, and when Tang Tian passed, he attracted a strange look from Walker.
At the beginning, Tang Tian was not very adaptable to the sudden changes.
But as training increased, his passes became more and more accurate, which made Walker next to him stunned.
"Don, are you able to crossover?"
Walker couldn't help asking.
"What? Crossover? I won't."
Tang Tian shook his head, he didn't know why Walker suddenly asked this.
"When did you pass so consistently? I thought you could do everything!"
Walker then couldn't help but complain.
"I haven't wasted my time with the Spurs this year."
Tang Tian said with a smile.
Walker was stunned for a moment, then nodded.
That's right, the Spurs are the best team in the league, and Tang Tian will probably become better if he doesn't want to.
"I have to work harder."
Walker spoke.
He thought his progress was already great enough, but compared with Tang Tian, it was really much worse.
And there is Butler's training maniac around him, and he will be driven inadvertently.
Although Tang Tian could feel his own changes, his ability was the same as the previous three-pointers in the open space. He had to be constantly trained to fully display his strength.
So he also increased his training efforts.
Thompson looked at the three crazy partners, and it was not appropriate for him to be lazy.
So, the four brothers in the training hall worked harder than the other.
This is really hard practice.
Sweat ticks every corner of the training hall.
Lamb and Drummond started playing in the summer league, and the four of them also practiced for half a month.
After half a month, they all improved a lot.
Tang Tian also understood why the four Banana Boat Brothers had such a good relationship when they were young.
When a group of people get together and have a common goal, the efficiency is the highest.
After some training, Tang Tian is preparing to find some competitions to use.
But he hadn't found it yet, and a call from Feigan interrupted his plan.
Tang Tian’s continuous signing of domestic brands has attracted a new wave of heated discussions among domestic fans, and his popularity has suddenly increased in China.
