Chapter 1187 Endorsing Dior

After beating the 76ers, the Pelicans' pre-All-Star Game games are all over.

After Gasol joined, they had a four-game winning streak, and their record was finally settled at 48 wins and 12 losses.

This record ranks third in the league behind the Lakers and Spurs.

With the loss of Walker and Butler and the poor condition of Dedmon, the Pelicans' record can be said to be quite outstanding.

On February 17, US time, the 2019 NBA All-Star Game officially kicked off in Boston.

The first day is the Masters Game and Rookie Challenge.

Olson was raising the baby at home and did not go to Boston with Tang Tian. This day became Tang Tian's complete private time.

Except for participating in Nike's official promotion event in the morning, he was free the rest of the time.

Walker is also ready to fulfill what he said at the end of the training camp last summer and treat the brothers to a feast.

Although Thompson is not here, Butler, Davis and Drummond are all there, and they will have a good get together in the evening.

There was nothing to do in the afternoon. Tang Tian was planning to go shopping with Walker first.

However, before he called Walker, he received an unexpected call first.

It was Dio who called.

After the Pelicans won the championship last season, Diaw returned to France not long after.

The two of them didn't have much contact after that, and they didn't expect to see him now.

"I'm in Boston too. Do you have time to come out and have afternoon tea with us?"

The French all love to drink afternoon tea, and Diaw attached great importance to this when he was in the NBA.

This is considered a very formal invitation.

Tang Tian agreed.

Diaw has been his teammate in both the Spurs and Pelicans, and the two have a good relationship.

When he arrived at the cafe he had agreed to, he discovered that there was someone else besides Dior, who also seemed to be French.

Only after Dior introduced him did he know that this was the president of Dior's American region.

It seems that Dior's visit to him is not just as simple as reminiscing about old times.

Speaking of which, this is normal. When he was still with the Spurs, Dior was also one of Dior's spokespersons and even gave Tang Tian perfume as a gift.

Now the people from Dior Company came to him through Dior, and the purpose was self-evident.

After a while of communication, it turned out that it was exactly what Tang Tian thought. Dior's previous global spokesperson was no longer prepared to continue the endorsement, and they were looking for a new spokesperson.

Unless luxury brands value the Chinese market, they generally won't think of basketball players like Tang Tian.

Like LV, a big reason for looking for Tang Tian to endorse is to expand the share of the Chinese market.

And Dior Company will come to him. In addition to this reason, there is another big reason, because the major shareholder of Dior Company is LV.

It's like a marriage, a feeling of being closer to each other.

Of course, both companies are Fortune 500 companies and are independent.

Dior approached Tang Tian this time with the hope that he could serve as the global spokesperson for men's perfume.

The president’s name was David, and he also made preparations and came with a quote on the spot.

50 million in 10 years, 5 million in one year.

This price is definitely not low.

Reminiscing about old times turned into talking about business, which was beyond Tang Tian's expectation.

But this time Karl came with him when he came to Boston. Tang Tian asked Karl to come over with just one phone call.

Ever since, the four people were divided into two tables.

On one side, Dior and Tang Tian were reminiscing about old times, and on the other side, Carl and David were discussing business.

There was almost enough catching up on old times here, and almost enough business talk over there.

Karl's negotiation skills have improved a lot over the summer.

He negotiated the price from 5 million to 5.5 million.

"I have a condition. I hope to advance the endorsement fee in one lump sum."

Tang Tian made a condition to David.

Nike's sneaker dividends are coming out soon. He doesn't know if he can hit 100 million krypton gold, but he wants to try.

But he is still far away from it now. If he can accumulate more krypton gold value before then, he will have more hope.

"We haven't been able to advance all of it in advance before, it was only 60% at most, but if you ask, I will try to apply with the headquarters."

David is also very good at business.

Tang Tian also agreed. This was also his personal wish. It would be best if he could advance the entire amount, but if not, 60% would be fine.

This endorsement is a small surprise during the All-Star Weekend.

But Dior was already in Boston, and Tang Tian also pulled him over to the party in the evening.

Walker was drunk by them at night, and he had a good indulgence.

The next day, the NBA All-Star Weekend ushered in individual competitions.

The three-point shooting contest, which has attracted much attention from fans, will also be held on this day.

Be the first to start the skills challenge.

In the end, Tatum, who played at home, defeated all his opponents and successfully won the Skills Challenge Championship.

After the Celtics acquired Walker this year, not only did the team's record improve, but their fortunes also improved.

After the skill challenge, the three-point shooting contest will follow.

But before the official start, there is a famous three-point contest.

Dell Curry, Reggie Miller, Ray Allen, Mark Price, and Glenn Rice were all invited to the scene.

Each of them is responsible for a point and engages in a five-ball contest.

This warm-up session is newly established this year for the purpose of warm-up.

This session also makes fans and audiences look forward to it.

You must know that these people were the top three-point shooters when they were players.

Especially Miller and Ray Allen, these are the top two players in the list of three-pointers.

But now that they have retired for so many years, Curry and Glenn Rice have been enjoying life after retirement, and they have obviously gained weight.

Whether they are still young or age is not forgiving is also a very interesting and worthy of attention.

Rice was responsible for the first point, and as the referee's whistle began to sound, he also started his own shot.

"Uh-huh!"

He made the first ball, which instantly ignited the atmosphere.

In the end, he scored 3 out of 5 goals and performed very well.

It seems that although he has gained weight, his skill in hand has not decreased at all.

Rice raised the expectations of the fans, but none of them expected that he was already at the top of this group of veterans.

Price at the second point and Curry at the third point both made only one goal.

Ray Allen at the fourth point even missed all five shots!

Miller saved some face at the last point, but only made 2 goals.

As a result, after 5 points, they only scored 10 points in total.

As expected, time is not forgiving. No matter how strong a shooter is, no matter how good his skills are, once he reaches a certain age, he can only become more of a spectator.

This warm-up three-point game was messed up, but it was very entertaining and made the fans look forward to the next main game.

After people have seen bad things, they always want to see good things.

Curry, Tang Tian, ​​Lillard, Walker, Nowitzki... players were introduced one after another.

The cheers at the scene were unstoppable.

Although it is a bit regretful that Thompson did not participate this year, Tang Tian's participation in the dunk contest last year made it the most classic in history. They are also looking forward to Tang Tian's performance in the three-pointer contest this year.
