Why did Yao Ming give up the 100-million-dollar contract? Was it disrespectful or accurate?

When Yao Ming entered the NBA with its back to China’s huge market, why did it sign reebok, now unknown, instead of NIKE, the industry leader?

If everyone knew about Yao Ming before he entered the league, in fact, NIKE has been sponsoring a small number of domestic basketball players since the 1990s, and since 1997, NIKE has contacted Yao Ming to sign a contract with him, and provided basketball shoes and financial support. When the contract was renewed in 2003, nike thought that Yao Ming’s performance in the rookie season did not meet expectations, and the best rookie was also taken away by Stoudemire of the Suns. At the same time, it was also the time when the Platinum Age entered the league in 2003. Seeing that tomorrow’s superstars such as James, Wade and Anthony entered the nba, nike’s energy was naturally dispersed. After all, who didn’t want to have James at that time, NIKE gave James a super-luxury contract of 9,100 W for seven years at the same time, and the budget was not unlimited. NIKE could only offer Yao Ming, who needed to renew his contract at the same time, an insulting offer of 160w for four years.

In fact, there was an episode at the beginning. Yao Ming’s agent revealed that NIKE had signed a contract with it whenever the offer was raised to 3-4 million, but unfortunately, the NIKE brand department thought such an offer was like a joke, implying that Yao Ming was not worth the offer.

At the same time, reebok threw an olive branch to Yao Ming. At that time, reebok was not as down and out as it is now. Its stars included mvp players such as O ‘Neill and Iverson, and the offer made to Yao Ming was quite sincere for six years and 50 million yuan. After learning about the amazing offer made by competitors, NIKE has a legend that considering the influence of the China market, it re-offered an offer of over 100 million in seven years, which is the biggest offer contract in the whole nba.

But in the end, Yao Ming chose reebok, who was more sincere at the beginning, which was a little color for the nike team who despised themselves. It is said that Yao Ming was not won, and the nike representative who was in charge of the negotiation in that year was also dealt with by the demotion office. The reason was that he was robbed of Yao Ming by competitor reebok on the premise of absolute superiority.

In the 2004-05 season, reebok launched the only pair of signature sneakers reebok high post for Yao Ming. However, the tradition that the center does not sell shoes still exists, so the original sales volume was not ideal, and the domestic nba market has just been opened, and domestic consumers are not very willing to pay for this sneaker.

And Yao Ming also sustained injuries in the later period, drawing a question mark on the functionality of sneakers. If Yao Ming chose NIKE in that year, could he avoid some injuries by wearing his brand’s sneakers?

Draw the next sign! China women’s football team was "blindsided"? It is difficult to enter the Paris Olympics.

The results of the women’s football lottery in Paris Olympic Games are shocking! China women’s football team was actually divided into Group B, together with Korean women’s football team, Korean women’s football team and Thai women’s football team! This group can be called "death group", but perhaps it is this difficult challenge that gives China women’s football team a chance to show their true strength in winning the championship!

Before the draw, China women’s football team, as the seed team, attracted much attention. However, in the second stage of the lottery, the strength of their opponents should not be underestimated. The strong strength of Korean women’s football team is the shadow of all teams. Although they have been absent from international competitions in recent years, their attack power and fighting spirit have always been alarming. The Korean women’s football team expressed their desire for the China women’s football team in the interview, hoping to confront them again and vindicate the Korean women’s football team. Although the Thai women’s football team is considered to be weak, its fierce style in the group stage is enough to make any opponent take it lightly.

It seems unfavorable for China women’s football team to fall into this "death group". However, from another perspective, this may be the key to their championship. As Phil Jackson, a former legendary American basketball coach, said, "To be the best, you must beat the best." For China women’s football team, this group has become a stage for them to show their strength and determination.

China women’s football team has experienced some challenges and changes in the past few years. They are constantly improving their technical and tactical level and strengthening the overall cooperation of the team. It is in the contest with powerful opponents that China women’s football team can truly test its own strength. In this "death group", China women’s football team will face many challenges, including opponents’ tactical play, physical confrontation and psychological fighting spirit. Only by competing with strong teams can China women’s football team better temper itself, improve its strength and play its best level in the Olympic Games.

In addition, China Women’s Football Team has a huge advantage-they will host all the events in Group B! As the host, China Women’s Football Team will face these three strong rivals in a familiar environment. The support of the fans will provide great motivation and morale for the women’s football team in China, and the advantage of playing at home will also become a weapon for the women’s football team in China to win.

Of course, it is undeniable that the promotion of China women’s football team in this "death group" is full of hardships. The other three opponents all have excellent players and strength, and no one has absolute advantage. But it is such an opponent that can inspire the stronger potential and fighting spirit of China women’s football team.

The prospect of women’s football in China has a long way to go. But in this lottery result, we also saw opportunities and hopes. China women’s football team will face severe challenges, but it is this kind of challenge that pushes them to the limit and temper their indestructible strength. The story of China Women’s Football Team has just begun. Let’s cheer for them and expect them to create miracles in this "death group"!

Britain’s "Gypsy Sports" published the 11 most disappointing EPL players selected by fans on SNS.

The media said: "In the first half of the game against Newcastle, 21 minutes, Kinses was most disappointed to be replaced at halftime after losing 5 goals. This is evidence of disappointment. He was the number one goalkeeper at Tottenham Hotspur, but now he can’t.
The four defenders are Andy Robertson (Liverpool)-Kalidu Kuliwali (Chelsea)-harry maguire (Manchester United)-reece james (Chelsea). Especially the two centre-backs, who are in danger of being released due to serious downturn. The midfield consists of Fabienne (Liverpool), Mei Sen Mount (Chelsea) and Calvin Phillips (Manchester City). The strikers are Sun Xingmin (Tottenham Hotspur), Darwin Nunez (Liverpool) and raheem sterling (Chelsea).
