Chapter 58 How much is Emperor Wu worth?

"The wind is coming, the rain is coming. Usc is coming, the Chinese are coming!" The next day, the Los Angeles Times used such a title to report another victory at USC. The 35 consecutive wins made USC the top seed of this year's National Championship.

USC continued to maintain their unbeaten record. After defeating Arizona, Emperor Wu led the team to the regular season championship and regional championship in the Pacific 10th League, entering the national championship with a complete record. USC also became the first team in NCAA history to win all the first 35 games in the first season.

If USC wins the championship in the end, they will achieve a 41-0 record in the season, which will be a great achievement that shocked the past and the present. The last time the team saw the team win the championship with an unbeaten record was in 1976, when Indiana University scored a full victory to the top. However, due to the fewer games at that time than now, Indiana University's record was 32-0.

Just a year ago, Derek Ross won the Memphis University with a record of 33 wins and 1 loss, which is the best NCAA record in recent years, but unexpectedly, this result was broken by the USB led by Emperor Wu.

USC is now not only the top seed in the Mid-West, but also the top seed in the country. At present, they are still 6 games away from becoming the first team to remain unbeaten and end perfectly after Indiana University in 1976. Wu Huang's chance of winning the No. 1 pick will be better than other geniuses.

"We have the best team and the best players, but does that mean victory? No, in the knockout round, each team's record is 0:0, and one game determines its destiny!" said Floyd, the coach of the USC, and "My demand for the team now is that everyone is the best self."

Wu Huang scored 26 points, 8 rebounds and 12 assists in the final of the Big Ten Championship, once again proving the value of his newly released Pacific League best player.

Throughout the 2008-2009 season, Wu Huang played a total of 35 games and started all of them, averaging 33 minutes per game, contributing 265 points, 62 rebounds, 81 assists, 29 steals, 09 blocks, 36 turnovers, shooting percentage of 516%, three-point shooting percentage of 433%, and free throw shooting percentage of 864%.

When Wu Huang was interviewed after the game, he seemed full of confidence. He had already set his sights on his opponents in the National Championships.

"I have to face this test. The outside world believes that I have the ability to win the No. 1 pick. I also think that I have such ability, but I also need to improve my aggressiveness and play smarter." Wu Huang was interviewed after the game, expressing his confidence and maintaining appropriate humility. His words also satisfy many Americans. He believes that Wu Huang has the confidence of both European and American people and the humility of Chinese people. He is a real genius with the advantages of two national personalities.

Wu Huang first talked with Brandon Moretz after the game and commissioned Nike and Adidas' sneaker contract

The trash he said to Harden during the game was not all nonsense. These two giants have indeed been in contact with him, but he was really confused about this. Wu Zetian also said that "he is good at catching thieves, but he is also unable to do so for his son.

"It's more than tens of millions." Brandon Moretz accepted Wu Huang's commission on the phone. Although the two have not officially signed the agent contract, Wu Huang has fully appointed Brandon to negotiate with the two sports giants on his behalf.

Wu Huang's father had previously held preliminary talks with Nike and Adidas on behalf of him. The competition between the two sports giants around the world has become increasingly fierce in recent years.

As we all know, football equipment is the world of Adidas, while basketball equipment belongs to Nike.

Adidas originated in Europe, and football is the number one sport in Europe and the world, so Nike’s football stars cannot compete with Adidas. But on the other hand, Nike’s origins are in the United States, and basketball is the strong point of the United States, so Adidas’s NBA stars are completely unable to compete with Nike.

Speaking of which, Adidas has far less advantages in football than Nike's basketball. Although Nike is not as good as its opponent in football, there are many football superstars under it. However, in the United States, Nike's market share is seven or eight times that of Adidas. It can be seen that the Americans are also patriotic. We need to learn from others to support domestic products.

At this stage, these two sports giants are attacking each other's fields, and Nike's market value is twice that of Adidas. In recent years, relying on its wealth and prosperity, they have begun to gradually erode the market share that originally belonged to Adidas in the football field.

Of course, Adidas also has to resist, but they are not rich enough for the Americans. The money in their hands is only enough for the main attackers and Nike PK. They have already fallen at a disadvantage in other sports. Now facing Nike's step-by-step pressing, Adidas has no energy to spare.

The Chinese market is growing exponentially every year. This is a huge emerging market that will grow into a wealth place that is not inferior to Europe and the Americas within ten years. Developed regions around the world have basically been developed. Without a new market, Adidas will be at a disadvantage and will be difficult to change in the short term. Moreover, the cost of playing in Europe and the United States is too high, and both companies can't stand it.

Then it is obvious that China, which has just taken off, is a new battlefield and has become a must-fight for the two giants.

The emergence of Wu Huang has made both giants see the key to opening the Chinese market. One person can influence the two giants. This may sound a bit whimsical, but it is not without precedent. Jordan was an example at the beginning.

Adidas didn't grab James and Durant back then, and this time he planned to fight Nike to the end with Emperor Wu. Their current plan is very simple. Since they don't have the extra energy to cast a wide net in the basketball field, it's better to put the bet on a few people and use quality to compete with Nike's quantity.

Wu Huang and Rubio are two of Adidas' most valued rookies, but in Europe, they naturally know how good Rubio is, the European media is crazily praising. Not to mention this golden boy, many players who are well-known in Europe will be unacceptable to the NBA. On the contrary, Wu Huang, who plays in the United States, has become stronger and stronger. After leading the University of Southern California to create history, as long as they can help UC continue to win consecutive victories in the national championships, each victory will make Wu Huang even more dazzling.

Which of the NCAA genius or the European Golden Boy is more likely to play in the NBA? As long as you are a person who truly understands the ball, you will know after watching the performance of the two in their respective teams. Whether it is analyzing the style of playing, physical fitness, technical characteristics or NBA adaptability, Wu Huang's chance of becoming an NBA insect is much smaller than Rubio.

At this time, Adidas had already decided to take Wu Huang to his subordinates at all costs. Of course, the main reason was the Chinese market behind Wu Huang. Such a young rookie with outstanding strength, rare idol temperament, and the world's largest market behind him was simply the best weapon they used to attack Nike.

Nike naturally did not intend to let Wu Huang go. Not only Adidas can see these things, but they are not blind. It’s just that Nike already has too many superstars, and after all, it’s not as desperate as Adidas.

Wu Zetian had previously contacted the two giants on behalf of Emperor Wu for the first time. Nike issued a 7-year, $50 million contract for Emperor Wu, which directly scared Wu Zetian and Zhang Meiqin.

However, the surprise was not over yet. Adidas didn't know how to learn about Nike's quotation, and directly added 10 million to 50 million. They issued a 6-year, 60 million US dollars for Wu Huang.

"Our son is so valuable!" Wu Zetian now felt that it was too wise for him not to oppose Wu Huang playing basketball. Even if he was corrupt, he would have to graze 60 million for many years. It was incredible!

Zhang Meiqin also said that she recently took over the pet business raised by actress Julia Roberts and several Hollywood stars, and only earned more than 1,000 US dollars a month. However, her son can get a subsidy of 3,000 US dollars for every game of the game, and now she will soon get a contract of up to 10 million US dollars. Even if she takes over all the pet business of Hollywood stars, she will only make a fraction of it.

Brandon Moretz was not scared by such a contract. He knew very well that the current offer of the two giants was only a test stage, and the commercial value of Wu Huang had not completely exploded. Wu Huang would be even more valuable at the National Championships. What he wanted to win for Wu Huang Huang was a contract like James back then, even surpassing James back then, because the Chinese market alone was worth much more than 90 million.
