Chapter 1165 70 Million Top-Up Value! New Skill!
Each one had been carefully analyzed.
Basically, all Tang Tian needed to do was choose whether or not to accept them.
This was a very comfortable operation.
Moreover, besides the fact that these endorsements were all for one to two years, they also had another thing in common: lots of money.
Tang Tian accepted most of them.
He was very satisfied with Karl's work.
Last year, he had taken on a large wave of contracts, and many of the endorsements had been very effective. Karl had also successively finalized renewal contracts over the summer.
Adding this wave to that, his kryptonite value would usher in a surge.
At the end of last season, his contracts plus some endorsement fees gave him around 15 million kryptonite value.
This time, the new and old endorsement contracts combined were worth around 20 million.
In addition, he had signed a 7-year, 217 million contract with Nike when he first came to the Pelicans, and this year was the second year of the new contract.
He had pre-spent three years of salary from the new and old contracts in the summer of 2015, and this year he had a new endorsement fee of 31 million, with 18.6 million after tax.
In addition, his maximum salary contract for the new season was 27.84 million US dollars, with 16.7 million after tax.
Adding all of these together, once the endorsement fees arrived, his kryptonite value could accumulate to 70.3 million in one go!
70 million+ kryptonite value, this was the first time he had possessed so much kryptonite value.
However, this was also his future norm.
As his personal strength reached its peak, his current endorsement fees were unmatched among active players, and even surpassed Jordan's because of shoe profit sharing.
The endorsement contracts hadn't been officially signed yet, and it would still take a longer period of time for the kryptonite value to arrive.
However, it was time for him to consider how to use this kryptonite value.
Should he exchange it for a skill first, like last year, and then exchange for another one in February?
Or should he save up to 100 million kryptonite value in one go and directly exchange for a golden skill?
Fortunately, he had plenty of time to think about this.
Compared to October, the Pelicans' schedule in November was much easier.
Among the opponents in the first half of the month, only the Trail Blazers, Jazz, and Raptors were considered relatively strong.
The Pelicans also continued their previous excellent form, winning all games except for a loss to the Jazz.
Their 12 wins and 2 losses still ranked third in the West.
It was also during this period that Tang Tian successively completed the signing with the endorsement merchants and quickly received the endorsement fees.
It was basically the same as what he had calculated before, 70 million kryptonite value.
He opened the system interface, his gaze lingered on the golden skill area for a moment, and then turned to the red skill area.
He had considered it more clearly and comprehensively during this half month.
Previously, in September, Nike took advantage of the celebration of his third child to do a wave of discount activities.
That was originally just a routine operation, but unexpectedly the effect was amazing, and the shoes on the official website were almost sold out.
This effect was beyond Nike's expectations, so they simply continued to sell at discounted prices.
After all, the discount wasn't much, and selling more at a discount meant more profit.
Moreover, to put it bluntly, they hadn't said when the birthday celebration would end!
The result was that, in the past two months, sales of the Godfather series increased by nearly 30% compared to the same period last year!
In addition, Nike was going to take advantage of the heat to launch the Godfather 4th generation sneakers.
It could be foreseen that the profit sharing in February would far exceed expectations.
So even if he exchanged for a red skill now, he would still have the opportunity to touch the threshold of a golden skill in February.
Good dishes are not afraid of being late.
He could completely wait for a few months.
Moreover, even if he really couldn't reach it, the kryptonite value would be completely enough when the new year's endorsement fees arrived next summer.
By then, it would coincide with the World Cup, maybe he could give fans all over the world a big surprise.
With his mind made up, he scanned the red skills up and down, and finally locked onto Infinite Range (Curry).
In last season's playoffs, playing against the Trail Blazers, Lillard's two super long shots, as well as his failed super long shot at the buzzer, left a deep impression on him.
His current skills were basically without any blind spots, and if he had to say one, it would be his range.
When playing against the Spurs before, Leonard and George's wing blockade forced him to go outside, so his limitation was more obvious.
But if he could extend his range to super long or even the logo, then it would be a different story.
What's more, the passive skill of this skill would improve the overall attributes of the team.
Just like Stone Buddha (Duncan), it was the most helpful to the current Pelicans team.
Infinite Range (Curry): Increases the stability of super long three-pointers by 40% (the area from the three-point line to the backcourt is the super long range), obtains the passive skill "Elementary School Students' Carnival," after a super long three-pointer is made, the entire team's attributes are increased by 5%, lasting for one minute, condition: Must exchange for Da Jiangjun (Arenas).
The skill attributes of Infinite Range were very exaggerated at first glance, especially the passive skill, which was simply a great weapon for chasing or opening up the score.
However, there were also two disadvantages to Tang Tian choosing to exchange now.
One was that he had never practiced super long three-pointers, the foundation was 0, and it wouldn't be so quick to see results if he wanted to improve it.
The other was that there was a pre-skill to exchange for Infinite Range.
Da Jiangjun (Arenas) was a purple skill, and it also required spending 10 million kryptonite value.
However, since he had already decided, these were just a matter of how much time it would take for him.
He chose to exchange, and 70 million kryptonite value instantly became only 10 million left.
Because it was a pure range increase, his mind didn't have as much technical understanding as before.
It was more reflected in the attributes.
Tang Tian opened the attribute panel and looked at it, and his super long three-pointer had increased from 0 to 80 in one fell swoop!
This increase exceeded his imagination!
This was still the case when he hadn't deliberately trained, if he practiced it, this value could directly reach 90+.
Red skills were indeed buggy, as if suddenly giving a certain ability.
However, this was also reasonable, ability value didn't represent hit rate.
In terms of ability, Curry was the strongest in history in the super long range area.
The games in November continued, and at this time, the Pelicans' players noticed that Tang Tian had started to train extra again, and every night at that.
This action made them very surprised.
Besides Kobe, Tang Tian was the only one who trained so crazy after becoming the league's number one player.
Soon, Alexander, Robinson and other rookies were inspired by him and started to train extra every night.
After that came Siakam and Brogdon.
Tang Tian's purpose was to practice super long range himself, but he accidentally brought up the Pelicans' extra training atmosphere.
This was to bring the purpose of the Hard Training Brothers Training Camp to the regular season.
Tang Tian's training effect was also very obvious.
Not only was he getting more and more skilled, the most direct reflection was that in the secondary page of his attribute panel, the super long attribute was visibly increasing.
After more than half a month of hard training, by the time the time turned to December, that ability value had broken 90!
ps: It's the end of the month, commanders, please give Shui Qie some votes, love you (w)
