NBA: Start with James Harden

Although they narrowly won, the schedule did not give the Mavericks a respite.

Late in the season, the Mavericks’ schedule was still intense.

The injuries in the Mavericks, combined with physical fitness, created a major problem for Carlisle’s formation.

Butler missed almost the same amount of time as Nowitzki, and that time was too difficult for the Mavericks.

March 22.

The Mavericks host the Western Conference playoff team Trail Blazers.

This season’s Blazers are full of injuries, Roy, Aldridge, Auden, Fernandez have suffered injuries and missed many games, but with the support of Miller, Batum, Camby and other titans, they still managed to break into the top eight in the West!

The Mavericks are unlucky, with the exception of Auden, their injured players have made a comeback in recent games, and the Blazers are in a stage of high morale.

Such a trailblazer is not too cool to meet a calf with average morale despite winning streaks.

The battle between the Blazers and the Mavericks aroused the enthusiasm of the Route Arena.

The Mavericks did play tenaciously, but under the leadership of Huang Mambaroy and All-Star interior Aldridge, the Mavericks, who lacked two starters, still had to swallow the bitter fruit of defeat at home.

108 to 104

Li Zhen did his best in the S-class in this game, and scored 42 points again in the game, three consecutive games of 40+, setting a rookie record, but everyone can see the gap between the two teams in strength, the Blazers have a deep lineup, and the current Mavericks are weaker than them.

When other teammates performed averagely, it was difficult for Li Zhen, who was alone, to save the defeat.

McMillan was angry many times in this game, he could not imagine that his team would almost not win against such a calf, and this game the Blazers did not feel comfortable winning.

The Mavericks’ winning streak is terminated, but the darkness that belongs to them has only just begun.

Nowitzki and Butler had 10 days to give.

For the next 10 days, they play seven games.

Warriors, Hornets, Nuggets, Grizzlies, Magic, Thunder, Grizzlies….

Except for the Warriors and Hornets, which are slightly better, the other teams are considered playoff-level powerhouses.

These teams don’t show mercy to the Mavericks, and they will take every opportunity that could push the Mavericks down the playoff rankings.

Of course, Carlisle’s idea is also very simple, he will do his best if he has the opportunity to win, and if there is no chance, he will directly arrange a rotation.

With this in mind, the Mavericks team started a new game again…..

On March 24, the Mavericks once again hosted the Warriors at home, and in Carlisle’s mind, it was a must-win game.

The veterans don’t take turns anymore, go all out.

Curry is still the same Curry, only more cute, and the strength is still very dish.

The Warriors are not yet the Warriors of the future, and their 20-51 record clearly shows that they are going for the top pick, and they have no hope of making the playoffs this season, just to develop rookies.

Although the Warriors’ strength is not strong, the two teams once again fought to the end in this game.

In the final moment, Li Zhen and Curry fought for three points.

With Li Zhen’s three pullback three points, the game suspense ended!!!

110 to 115.

Li Zhen stepped back after three shots in the last two minutes, and the climax of the scene was repeated.

Although Li Zhen’s hand felt good at the last moment, the overall performance of the whole game showed that Li Zhen’s performance was lower than that of other games.

This also allowed Li Zhen to score only 36 points, 8 assists and 7 rebounds.

One word shows how high the media’s expectations for Li Zhen are.

Li Zhen’s consecutive 40+ games were terminated, but the team won, and Li Zhen was still very happy.

After the game, Li Zhen talked with Curry for a long time, Curry scored 33 points and 6 assists today, and his performance was also very good.

Curry admired Li Zhen very much: “Dude, your three-point shot is awesome, let’s train together in the summer, I want to ask you for a step back for three points.” ”

Hearing that Curry was going to ask him for three points, Li Zhen wanted to say buddy, are you joking.

Li Zhen refused: “Sorry, Stephen, I made an appointment with Kobe for special training.” ”

Curry had some regrets: “OK, then next time, my summer is long.” ”

Curry is still envious of Li Zhenneng playing in the playoffs.

After the regular season, he had to go fishing.

Li Zhen replied: “No problem, you can have time.” ”

After exchanging contact information with Curry, Li Zhen returned to the locker room to take a shower.

Carlisle will take him to a press conference next.

Mavericks’ PR is now focused on creating an image of Li Zhen’s star.

In various public places, they tried to let Li Zhen face the media.

For Mavericks’ management, Li Zhen is a new market development point, and he can become a new basketball idol.

Under the deliberate propaganda of the Mavericks, Li Zhen became the core of Mavericks’ future, and they hinted to the media that sooner or later the team would be built around Li Zhenlai.

Such a gesture has also allowed Maverick to get a number of brand sponsors from across the ocean.

The market behind Li Zhen is also playing a powerful role…..

The publicity of the calf is beneficial to Li Zhen personally, and the agent Pelinka has also successively contacted many companies that want to find Li Zhen to endorse.

What yellow wrrigley chewing gum, Jesbon love sleeve, diesel engine, sports drink, clothing, etc….

In addition to the sneaker brand was not determined, after Pelinka discussed with Li Zhen, he asked Li Zhen to take most of it.

Pelinka and Li Zhen did not feel that they had to accept any very high-end and high-end brands.

Li Zhen is not that kind of pressing, their ideas are basically unacceptable, mainly depending on whether the brand owner is reliable or not, and whether the size of the contract amount is appropriate.

Of course, it is more important to see how much time Li Zhen occupies.

Some endorsements only require Li Zhen to shoot two advertisements a year, and then usually publicize them in public, and these Li Zhen are very cheerful.

But some endorsements require Li Zhen to attend multiple commercial events, and the locations are still widely distributed, Li Zhen feels that it is troublesome and does not accept it, Li Zhen does not want to let things outside the field interfere with him too much, he wants to focus more on the court.

Li Zhen’s endorsement contract price is now also very high, ranking first among rookies, the average commercial endorsement will give Li Zhen 2 million US dollars a year, which is almost catching up with Li Zhen’s current annual salary, of course, this is not a sneaker endorsement, Li Zhen’s sneaker endorsement is not 2 million can be won.

Now no one thinks that Li Zhen’s next contract annual salary will still be 3 million…

Coupled with the market, age and performance of playing, Li Zhen’s worth is almost the same as that of an All-Star player.

The media predicts that Li Zhen’s next contract is likely to be higher than 15 million.

Most of the endorsements are telephone communication between the Internet and Pelinka, and when the time comes, it is enough to add the final confirmation signature, which does not hinder Li Zhen’s competition.

On the plane, after Li Zhen calculated the amount of the endorsement contract signed, he will have more than 8 million US dollars in the next month….

We’re multimillionaires too!
