Chapter 709 Offseason Special Training
Xie Kai was in China, and when he swiped his phone, he also saw the news of James "going home". He was a little shocked, but soon felt that it made sense.If James wants to leave the Heat and has to decide two, then returning to the Cavaliers is currently the most acceptable result.
The Cavaliers did not make the playoffs last season. James returned to his hometown to help the team compete for the championship as a "4-year college student" in the Heat. It sounds too much too much.
Xie Kai thinks that James is not purely out of the idea of helping his hometown team realize the championship dream. He has considered a lot, including outside public opinion, personal reputation, legendary status, etc., and he has definitely considered it carefully.
In fact, thinking about it the other way around, there are many teams that want James. If reputation is considered, the only ones he can really choose are the Heat and the Cavaliers.If you stay in the Heat and continue to play brother basketball, no one will say anything; if you go back to the Cavaliers and play basketball in your hometown, no one will say anything.
And in Xie Kai's view, although the Heat made it to the finals last season and the Cavaliers didn't make the playoffs, if we really want to talk about the potential of the two teams, the latter is better.The Heat are obviously old, and Wade and other players are no longer at the peak; the Cavaliers have young talents like Owen Waiters, they do not lack talent, what they lack is a real boss, a leader.And the entire league is suitable to be their leader, and James is one of them.
If the Cavaliers were a strong player in the Eastern Conference last season, James might not go back, and the Cavaliers boss might not put down his posture to invite him. The conflict between the two is open and the thorns are deep.But in the 4 years since James left, the Cavaliers didn't make the playoffs once, but won 3 No. [-] picks. This is really a lucky and ironic thing.
Although James' strength has been complained by many sunspots, he is really strong. He can make a big team quickly become a playoff team. His existence is the guarantee of the lower limit, because he is strong.But to win the championship, relying on him alone is not enough, after all, basketball is for 5 people.
Even Jordan, without Zen Master's triangle offensive system, without top support Pi Erye, and without outstanding role players such as Da Chong and Cole, would not be able to win the championship.
Xie Kai is deeply impressed by this point. Without the top inside strength of the black and white bears, he doesn't think it would be too difficult for him to lead a team alone to beat a top team basketball team like the Spurs.
On July 7, Mike Miller joined the Cleveland Cavaliers with a two-year, $16 million contract.As the representative shooter of the Heat's "one-star shooting" back then, it is not surprising that he defected to James.
The NBA free agent market in the United States is very lively, while in China, Xie Kai is training on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau at an altitude of 5000 meters.
Altitude training is a great exercise in breathing ability and lung function.In the case of high altitude, in the absence of oxygen, the effect of training is very good.
Xie Kai's physique is very good, and he didn't suffer from altitude sickness. This is not the first time he has done altitude training. When he was in the United States, he had been to Denver and Salt Lake City. The Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, are all sons.
Training is boring, but Xie Kai feels boring if he doesn't do it.He loves basketball, even more than himself when he loves it the most.This love makes him not feel bored in training.
Today, he is already the top superstar in the league, and his big and small dreams have basically come true, but there are still many challenges before him, and the most recent one is three consecutive championships and the establishment of a dynasty.
Among the 30 teams in the NBA, except for the yellow and green, no team has completed three consecutive championships, not even the Spurs.Therefore, the difficulty of completing three consecutive championships outside the yellow and green is considered hell.
The Grizzlies are very lucky. Without the No. [-] pick, they got the top combat power of Black and White Shuangxiong and Xie Kai. This kind of opportunity is hard to come by. They will definitely not give up the chance of three consecutive championships, even temporarily no future.
During Xie Kai's altitude training, his agent, Thaddeus Fucher, brought good news.
Thaddeus Fucher helped Xie Kai choose an endorsement, which was the sports energy drink Gatorade.
Gatorade is the designated sports energy drink of the NBA, and it is the only partner.So if Xie Kai endorsed the sports drink before, if he wanted to drink it during the competition, he had to tear off the label or put it in a Gatorade bottle.
Well now, Gatorade has come to your door...
Since Xie Kai won the championship and won the MVP, his popularity is so high that he is already at the top of the league, so he has no shortage of endorsements.Now Thaddeus Faucher is choosing endorsements, not like in the past, if there are similar ones, he will sign.
In the end, Xie Kai and Gatorade signed a three-year contract with a total value of 3 million US dollars.This endorsement surpassed the three-year $1200 million he signed with GM last year, and has become a new high in his endorsement career.
In addition to Gatorade, Zhou Jing helped Xie Kai find an endorsement, which was Jack Ma's Alibaba.The two parties agreed to sign a contract at a price of 4 million yuan for 5000 years.
Xie Kai became the spokesperson of Alibaba and the image spokesperson of Taobao!
In addition to Alibaba, Zhou Jing also helped Xie Kai find another endorsement, which is a leader in the tire industry - Michelin!The two sides signed a 3-year contract with a total value of 800 million euros.
Xie Kai conducted high altitude training for more than half a month, then took a rest, shot two advertisements for the merchants he endorsed, and then went to the Taklimakan Desert in the west for the next stage of special training.
Plateau special training and desert special training have different emphases, and the direction of training is also different. If you pick up immediately after the end, it will make it difficult for your body to adapt.
The purpose of training is not to torture yourself, but to increase the limit of your body, so there is room for adaptation and adjustment.Regarding this point, Xie Kai has a deep understanding.
Last year's special training in the desert made Xie Kai's complexion darker by more than one level. Now that he has not come back for nothing, he started the special training again, which also ignored his skin color.
There is no way, for the sake of training and self-improvement, there is no way to sacrifice a little skin color.
Xie Kai is an athlete, not an idol star, and skin color is not that important.Of course, Gu Tianle became more popular when he became darker. This is an unsolved mystery in the entertainment industry.
The desert training is indeed very hard. The scorching sun and the heat of the sand alone are not something ordinary people can bear.Xie Kai has always been a firm believer in the saying that "you can be the best when you suffer hardships", so no matter how hard it is, he can bear it.
During his desert training, Zhou Jing helped him accept another endorsement.The endorsement is Head & Shoulders shampoo, and the endorsement fee is 3 million RMB for 2000 years.
