Basketball's No. 1 Anti-Fan

Chapter 55 The truth is a sharp knife
Brown, of course, can decide nothing.

The Cavaliers will not trade Hansen at this time.

Although the season has just started for less than a month, Hansen has already shown enough potential, even the strength of a high-quality 3D player.

The Cavaliers management is not stupid. Although high-quality 3D players cannot be compared with superstars, they are a scarce commodity in this league.

Not to mention, this is the "championship puzzle" they have been looking for for James.

Compared to a trade, what they hope to see more is James "taming" Hansen.

So the final result is a world where only Brown is hurt.

Faced with media questioning, Brown could only rack his brains to explain his employment standards.

If he hadn't shaved his head, he would have lost a lot of hair during this period.

Han Sen was not in a hurry. The season was still long, and his top priority was to exchange for breakthrough talent as soon as possible.

The Cavaliers had three days off when they returned to Cleveland, and Brown also gave the players a day off to relax.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Hansen and Thomas flew to Baltimore together.

Baltimore is located in Maryland, and is only separated from Ohio, where Cleveland is located, by a corner of West Virginia.

There was also an NBA team here. In 1948, the Baltimore Bullets won the BAA (the predecessor of the NBA) championship, but later went bankrupt due to financial problems, becoming the only championship team in NBA history to go bankrupt.

Later, the Wizards also used this place as their home court from 1963 to 1973 and continued to use the name of the Bullets.

But then they moved to Washington, and Maryland hasn't had an NBA team since.

In UA's headquarters, Han Sen saw more sportswear exhibits, with sports bras being the most common.

UA made its fortune by producing sports bras, and the sweat-absorbing bras were introduced by them.

As for basketball shoes, it now looks more like a blueprint.

In the office at the headquarters, the staff prepared a detailed PPT for him, describing UA's design ideas for basketball shoes, as well as subsequent production and marketing plans.

They even conducted a survey on the Dongda sneaker market.

The depth of this research does not seem to be something that could be done in a short period of time.

It can be seen that UA has long had ideas about the Dongda market, and it has probably tried to find other people before, but without success.

Of course, none of that matters. What matters is that UA really values ​​him enough, just as Thomas said.

Moreover, UA's shoe development ideas for signing him and Curry are definitely different. If they sign him, the priority will definitely be the shoe-wearing habits of the Dongda players.

This also made Han Sen look forward to it.

After reading the PPT, Hansen and Thomas learned some details about the contract, from contract bonuses to independent brand plans and gradient sneaker dividends.

The amount of this contract was slightly different from what Han Sen had known before.

4 million for 800 years is the basic amount. As long as he meets certain specific requirements, such as being selected to any league's best team in his rookie season, the maximum amount can reach 4 million for 1000 years, which is the same as the contract amount Nike gave to Curry, ranking first among rookies this year.

After all these were confirmed, Han Sen officially signed the contract with UA and took photos as a souvenir.

The visit ended with a press conference prepared by UA for him.

UA invited many well-known media reporters to the scene, including some from the University of Tokyo.

In addition, the press conference was held in a room of 100 square meters, so the scene was particularly lively.

Such a scene made Hansen and Thomas look at each other in bewilderment. It seemed that they still underestimated how much UA valued this signing.

But this is a good thing for Hansen, because the wider the information spreads, the more black fans he will generate for what he is about to do.

“Why did you choose the UA brand?”

The first question asked is also the one that everyone is most concerned about.

Han Sen did not talk about sincerity or development prospects.

"When I first entered the NBA, I once said the reason why I chose No. 77 jersey, that's why I choose UA now."

As soon as this sentence came out, the audience went into an uproar.

Han Sen chose number 77, saying he wanted to compete for all the basketball talents God had given to him except Jordan. This caused a sensation at the time.

Does this mean that he wants to help UA compete for all basketball shoe market share other than Nike? I'm afraid Musk would shake his head after hearing this.

"We know that UA is still in its infancy in the field of basketball shoes. What makes you confident about their future development?"

The next reporter followed up on Han Sen's question.

Han Sen looked at the male reporter who asked the question and couldn't help but say, "Good question, handsome guy."

"UA will target the Dongda market in the first phase. I think this is no secret. Dongda's domestic basketball shoes are not competitive at present. As long as they find the right positioning, it is not as difficult as imagined to become popular overnight."

When Han Sen said this, the reporters in the audience started whispering to each other again.

But the reporter from the University of Tokyo visibly frowned.

At this stage, the shoes sold in China are mostly casual sports styles. There are very few basketball shoes and the quality is hard to describe.

This is true, but for some things, knowing and saying them are two completely different concepts.

After a while, the reporter from Dongda University also got the opportunity to ask questions.

"As far as I know, Nike signed contracts with James Harden, the third pick, and Tyreke Evans, the fourth pick, for $25 a year. Do you feel pressure to sign this premium contract now?"

This question is obviously meant to stir up trouble.

The price of a sneaker contract has never been linked to the draft pick, but to the market. If what he said is true, Curry's contract is also a premium contract.

The UA manager nearby picked up the microphone and was about to defend Han Sen, but Han Sen stopped him.

"You can speak Chinese." Han Sen reminded first.

"I have no pressure." Then after he finished speaking, he put away the microphone.

This completely confused the reporter from Tokyo University. Is this considered an answer?
This scene amused the supervisor nearby. The best answer to this kind of question is to stop talking nonsense.

……

Just a few days after Han Sen visited the UA headquarters, an article titled "The Sorrow of Basketball Players" was published in China.

"Why do our players go to the NBA to play? To help the national team achieve better results!
But now, some people not only refuse to participate in the national team's games, but also cause the national team to lose the Asian championship.

And now, he is maliciously disparaging domestic brands by deliberately using foreign brand sneakers.

The abilities of our players have improved, but their values ​​and patriotism have declined.

They forget that what they have achieved is the result of hard work by several generations of basketball players.

Such players are the basketball stars we are chasing after now!
This is the sadness of us basketball players and the sadness of our society.”

The article did not mention anyone specifically by name, but at this point in time, everyone knew who he was referring to.

Because of the time difference, Han Sen saw the article at night.

He immediately turned over and slammed the bed.

Perhaps he felt that it was not satisfying enough, so he stood up, walked to the table and slammed it hard.

This article, which combines yin and yang and moral kidnapping, is truly amazing.

Just like before he traveled through time, the people who can write this kind of article are still the so-called insiders of the basketball circle!
This time he couldn't help but go to domestic websites to read the comments.

"What UA? It's a rubbish brand. It's ok if you're Nike or Adidas, but how can you feel superior by signing with such a rubbish brand?!"

"Han Sen is a loser. He forgot he was from Dongda University when he went to the United States. Why don't you just change your nationality to the United States?"

"I don't understand why the Basketball Association hasn't banned him yet? Do we really need him?"

……

Looking at these extremely aggressive comments and his skyrocketing number of haters, Han Sen couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Originally, he just wanted to take advantage of the domestic fans' enthusiasm for criticizing him and earn some black fan points by dissing domestic brands.

He is not absolutely sure what effect he can achieve and whether he can make up for the negative fans.

But unexpectedly, I met this person in the circle by chance.

This really helped him a lot.
