Early the next morning after the competition, Teacher Robert picked up Shen Huan and went all the way to Santa Barbara.
Jordan's basketball training camp occupies a large area, but land in the United States is very cheap, especially in places like Santa Barbara. It's not a big deal to just carve out a piece of land and build it into a basketball court and build some runways and other facilities.
What's more, in fact, the construction and maintenance of this entire training camp did not require money from Jordan, but from Nike.
Nike and Jordan are tied together, not only because the AJ brand is Nike's most profitable brand, but also because Jordan represents Nike's basketball dream.
As long as these children come here, they will see the ubiquitous Nike elements, and Jordan will also actively recommend Nike elements, which will make them like brands like Nike from an early age.
Don't underestimate this group of children. Every year, tens of thousands of young basketball enthusiasts from all over the world come to Jordan training camp. They all belong to wealthy families in their own country.
They have been fond of Nike since they were young. If they buy Nike products, do you think they will have terrible purchasing power accumulated year by year
And the people around them that they can influence, and what a large consumer group they are
As for the players who want to enter the NBA, when they come here, they also hope to become contracted players under Nike. Of course, Nike hopes to produce another Kobe Bryant and another LeBron James.
Therefore, accommodating them to train here has only advantages and no disadvantages.
Look!
Jordan not only gets a portion of the kids' training camp fees, but he also gets a training fee and hard work fee from Nike.
After a training camp cycle, the remuneration of 5 million US dollars is small.
So, why did Pier go bankrupt in the end, while Boss Qiao became richer year by year
This is the difference!
The training camp started at 8 o'clock in the morning. Teacher Robert picked up Shen Huan at 6 o'clock and arrived at the Jordan training camp at 7 o'clock.
But at this time, many people have begun training inside.
There are people in the strength training room, there are people under several baskets, and there are also several people doing passing and coordination training together.
They were all a little surprised that a young Chinese boy like Shen Huan appeared here.
Shouldn’t Chinese children go to the children’s center next door
But Shen Huan ignored them. When Teacher Robert went to find an acquaintance, he had already taken off his coat and started training in his football uniform.
In addition to shooting-related training, basketball players do not pay little attention to running training, but more people care about strength and explosive power.
Shen Huan first ran around the training camp twice, and then started doing various stretching activities.
There were too many people doing the same thing as him, and Shen Huan didn't stand out that much.
He really caused people to exclaim when he took the basketball and walked onto the training field.
Shen Huan started shooting directly outside a basket.
This Jordan training camp is huge, about the size of four normal courts.
So many players can use these 8 baskets for training.
Shen Huan is not the only one shooting under this basket, but he is the most accurate one.
Whether it was shooting from the free throw line or three-point line, he maintained the efficiency of hitting every shot.
After a long time, many people naturally noticed this.
Then there were more and more people around.
"78... 79... 80... 81... 82... "
Robert heard the chorus as he walked in with Orcic, one of the camp directors and a member of Jordan's assistant team.
They looked up and saw many people surrounding a basket, and that's where the sound came from.
"What are you doing?" Osic asked, grabbing a nearby player.
"Who knows? It seems like a Chinese boy is shooting, and he has made many shots in a row." The player said dismissively, "This is just a static shot, which cannot measure the game ability at all. I..."
Before he could finish his words, Orsic turned and left.
Osic is not very interested in the strangers here. He recognizes the ones who are truly capable.
But now Osic is a little interested in the Chinese boy who attracted onlookers.
"Is he the talented player you mentioned?" Osic asked Robert as he walked.
"Yes." Robert said simply, "For a player like this, you can tell at a glance that he is a genius."
"But I don't believe that Chinese people have such outstanding talents." Osic shook his head.
"What about YAO?"
"Please, that's just a special case. If you look at the players behind him, can there be any better than him? No way!" Orsic said.
"This young man now is only 17 years old. If he is trained well, he will definitely be as good as YAO. I firmly believe it!" Robert said seriously.
Osic didn't argue with him anymore, and used his hand to dig away a group of onlookers eating melons, "Go away, go away, are you all free?"
The basketball player has a bad temper. When they saw someone pushing him, the onlookers immediately glared at him.
But when they saw it was Osic, they immediately shivered, scratched their heads and walked away.
Osich was soon at the front.
What he saw was Shen Huan shooting from beyond the three-point line.
This was the bottom line. Shen Huan invested in it, turning the winning number into 92.
Then Shen Huan walked to a 45-degree angle and shot three three-pointers in a row, but they all went in.
Next came the top of the arc, another 45-degree angle, and the bottom line. There is no doubt that Shen Huan made all of them.
Looking at Shen Huan, who was already covered in sweat, Osiqi's eyes became focused.
"Has he always done this?" Osic asked a person next to him.
"Of course! He has been shooting like this from the beginning. He didn't hesitate at all and made no mistakes at all." The black guy next to him was very excited. "If I had his three-point shooting ability, what else would I have to wait for?" Contract? If it’s not a middle-class contract, I won’t sign it!”
"Come on! If I can still hit three-pointers with half the current accuracy in the game, let alone a middle-class contract, even if you give me 10 million a year, I won't sign it!" Another tall man said, "Look Look at Curry in the past two years! Curry's three-pointers! He relied on three-pointers to kill his opponents all the way and became the NBA championship! If any team has such a three-pointer killer, it must not be regarded as Baby?"
What the tall man said was exactly what Osic was thinking now, and it was also what Robert was thinking.
The two looked at each other, and then a bold idea came into their minds - of course, the two had different considerations.
But Robert was obviously more excited.
No!
Don't be too happy now, hold on, hold on!
Robert clenched his fists and tried to control his racing heart.
