Chapter 105: Huge Commercial Value

Wu Feng's jersey has a few big words printed on it: Please recommend votes, collect ~~~o(n_n)o

******************

In the first week of the new season, the Magic played two games in total and won both games. In these two games, Wu Feng's performance was very exciting. The Wizards scored a shocking triple-double, becoming the first player in NBA history to score a triple-double in the first game of his career. In the second game against the Heat, under Dwayne Wade's close defense, he scored 28 points and 14 assists, and Wu Feng once again created a miracle.

However, Wu Feng did not win the Week's Best Week. The Week's Best Week was snatched away by this year's No. 1 pick John Wall. In fact, John Wall's performance in the first week was not much better than Wu Feng, and even slightly worse than Wu Feng. John Wall averaged 22.3 points, 8.6 assists, and 4.3 rebounds in three games in the first week. This data is very good, but compared with Wu Feng's average of 22 points, 13 assists, 8 rebounds, 2.5 steals and 2 blocks, it is a bit inferior. What's more, John Wall has averaged 6.3 turnovers and 4.3 fouls per game, and Wu Feng has to control it better than him in this regard.

However, the judges who chose John Wall as the best rookie in the Eastern Conference in the first week also gave an explanation. They said that John Wall played three games, and the Wizards won all three games. During the Wizards' three consecutive wins, John Wall made great contributions, and in two games he saved the team at the last minute.

Although Wu Feng's performance was crazy, he only played two games, and the role he showed in the game was not as big as John Wall. Therefore, Wu Feng could only become one of the nominations.

Wu Feng's head coach Stan Van Gundy scoffed at the judge's rhetoric. He used a figurative metaphor at a previous press conference. He said that if a player played very well throughout the season, he missed several games throughout the season; while another player played the whole season, but his performance was much worse than the previous player, and the two teams' records were almost the same. Will the league award the Most Valuable Player Trophy to the second player?

After hearing the comment from Stan Van Gundy, most people expressed their support and regretted that Wu Feng did not win the Rookie of the Week in the Eastern Conference.

Last week, although Wu Feng's performance was not as good as the first week, with only averaged 16.3 points, 8.3 assists, 5 rebounds and 2 steals per game, he helped the Magic win all three games last week. John Wall's Wizards lost two losses in the last week, and his personal performance was not very good.

So last week, Wu Feng beat many potential rookies in the East led by John Wall and won the title of Best Rookie. The Clippers' "Beast" Blake Griffin.

Blake Griffin was the No. 1 pick last year, but because he was seriously injured in the preseason last season, resulting in the season's reimbursement, this season was his first season. He deserved to be the No. 1 pick last year. In the first six games of the Clippers, he averaged 24.5 points and 11.5 rebounds per game, becoming a rookie as dazzling as Wu Feng among this rookies.

Add to last week's Rookie of the Week, Blake Griffin has won the Rookie of the Week for two consecutive weeks.

Wu Feng seemed very excited about being able to win this honor, and he also recorded the day on his Twitter.

Although Wu Feng has a greater goal, he has to take it step by step, so every progress and every achievement will make him happy.

Wu Feng's sudden appearance not only made fans exclaim, but also made major sports brands smell business opportunities. In recent days, news that large companies such as Adidas, Nike, Peak, and Li Ning have frequently appeared in newspapers.

However, Wu Feng handed all these commercial issues to his American agent Carl Davis and Chinese agent Xia Xinquan. Of course, regarding the issue of commercial endorsement, Wu Feng not only had to discuss with his agent Carl Davis, but also with his family.

Wu Feng has communicated with his family by phone. His father Wu Changtian and his sister Wu Lan will come to Orlando in a week. On the one hand, they are here to see him, and on the other hand, they are to discuss commercial endorsements.

As early as in college, Wu Feng had signed a two-year contract with Adidas. But this year is about to expire, so Wu Feng has to make a decision whether to renew his contract with Adidas after careful consideration.

Forbes magazine estimates that Wu Feng's personal market value has soared to about 18 million US dollars. In the 10 days of the Magic's winning streak, Wu Feng's fans on Twitter have increased hundreds of times, and the ratings of the Magic's game across the United States have soared by 71%...

In the NBA arena where the commercial color is gradually becoming stronger, Wu Feng, a Chinese player who suddenly became popular, is destined to become the focus of brand pursuit. Wu Feng's Chinese agent Xia Xinquan said at a press conference about the brand endorsed by Wu Feng that only Wu Feng's cooperation with brand owners is Adidas. Now many companies in many industries including beverages, automobiles, IT, etc. are consulting for endorsement, but it has not yet reached the specific negotiation stage.

As early as May and June this year, Wu Feng discussed issues with Carl Davis and Xia Xinquan. Afterwards, Xia Xinquan also contacted many brand owners, hoping to help Wu Feng promote the Chinese market. However, because Wu Feng is not well-known in China, those people refused.

However, now, these people regretted that they slapped their thighs.

At present, if Wu Feng, who is a star of Chinese nationality and NBA star, is attracted as the image spokesperson, it can instantly attract consumers' attention. Brands with keen sense of touch immediately smelled the huge business opportunities, and the battle for Wu Feng's endorsement has already shown tension.

So far, Peak has confirmed to the media that its CEO has personally gone to Orlando, hoping to find an opportunity to have substantial contact with Wu Feng about brand endorsement. Many fans know that Peak has signed 15 NBA players including Sean Bathir, Kyle Lowry, Patterson, etc. in order to promote the brand internationally.

However, because Wu Feng and Adidas have a first agreement, the two parties have an exclusive agreement and can no longer cooperate with other sports goods brands during the cooperation period between the two parties. Adidas is currently the only brand that Wu Feng has cooperated with. This means that Adidas blocks the possibility of other sports goods companies signing Wu Feng.
