Chapter 432 Summer Activities
Duncan has yet to make a decision. McGrady's signing in the early stage can only make the Magic out early.

But the Magic are not without spare tires. After McGrady signed with the Bulls, the Magic turned around and went to pursue Eddie Jones. The 29-year-old wing is a representative figure of both offense and defense in the league.

琼斯在黄蜂队打出了身价，上赛季，琼斯场均可以轰下20.1分4.8篮板4.2助攻和2.7抢断和0.7盖帽的全面数据。

He shot 42.7 percent from the field and 37.5 percent from three-pointers. He was also selected to the All-Star, All-NBA and All-Defensive teams.

But in the rumored free market, there is not much news about Jones, and many teams are interested in Jones.

Jones himself also intends to leave the Hornets to chase a higher-level team, or to enter a team that can win the championship.

At this time, the Heat, who had no hope of signing McGrady, began to actively chase Jones instead.

Jones originally wanted to go to the Heat. Compared to the Magic, the Heat are a very obvious team that can compete for the championship.

But the problem for the Heat is that they have no cap space after signing Bryan Grant.

Under the league's salary cap setting, they can't give Jones the big contract he wants.

With Jones' excellent performance last season and his age of 29, without suffering any injuries, Jones can easily get a contract with a maximum salary extension.

In this case, if Jones wants to go to the Heat, he can only sign first and then trade.

The problem with sign-and-trade is having to negotiate chips with the Hornets.

So another problem occurred during the negotiation process. The negotiations between the Heat and the Hornets have been unable to reach an agreement. The difficulty lies in the disagreement on the value of the reciprocal exchange of multiple players.

The Heat want the Hornets' important substitute Brad Miller to participate in the transaction, but the Hornets value Miller very much and are unwilling to send away the 24-year-old outstanding big man.

Mason and Pat Riley of the Hornets had a feud, and the Heat did not welcome Mason.

According to a Yahoo Sports reporter, the starting point for a new round of negotiations between the two sides is that the Heat want to use Mashburn and Witherspoon for Jones and Davis of the Hornets.

Therefore, many experts have analyzed that although the two teams seem to be talking vigorously, in the end it is very likely that the bamboo basket will draw water.

The probability of not being able to make a deal is very high.

At this time, in mid-July, another big fish in the free market, Grant Hill and the Magic reached a contract.

All-star forward Grant Hill is a sign-and-trade Magic team. In order to get Hill, the Magic sent away some players, and there is also a future draft pick.

Pistons fans are very disappointed.

Grant Hill played the best moment of his career with the Pistons last season.

He can score 25.7 points per night, in addition to 6.6 rebounds and 5.2 assists.

Grant Hill is an All-Star player in the league. He is very popular with fans and has very comprehensive skills. He was the first to be called "Jordan's successor".

According to media reports, he is expected to receive a salary of $7 million from the Magic over the next seven years.

The Magic were ninth in the Eastern Conference last season. They are a team with a certain combat power and a lot of salary space. Therefore, Grant Hill joined the Magic after weighing, but he also made a request for the Magic, which is to continue to recruit a star.

The players that the Magic are eyeing are Duncan and Jones.

The combination of Grant Hill + Duncan or Grant Hill + Jones is enough to make the Magic the most popular powerhouse in the East.

Therefore, the general manager of the Magic is very active. When negotiating with other teams, he also tries to recruit third-party or fourth-party teams to provide more attractive bargaining chips.

This is the case every year in free agency.

The general managers of teams with ample salary space are waving checks, wanting to draw all potential and effective players into their camps.

At the same time, you must also beware of your own players, who may be poached by other teams unexpectedly.

Qin Fei stayed at home until late July when he left San Francisco and went to his villa in Los Angeles to rest for more than ten days.

Rob Pelinka ran to Qin Fei.

"The main activity this summer is the Asia Tour."

Pelinka brought along an operations executive from Nike. After the executive met, he also went straight to the point and expressed his intentions directly.

Qin Fei nodded.

After the sneaker contract was re-signed, although the sneaker contract was much larger, the corresponding activities also increased a lot.

The Asian tour is a must-have item during the offseason every year.

"Compared to Europe, where basketball is difficult to move, Qin Fei's voice in Asia is very high. The Asia tour is conducive to establishing a good player image, getting in touch with fans at close range, and more importantly, further promoting the sneaker brand."

The supervisor explained it sternly.

Qin Fei took a look at the supervisor, he was really a very rigid and serious person.

"So what do I need to do?"

Qin Fei asked.

The supervisor took out a lot of documents and materials, and Qin Fei felt dizzy after seeing it.

What is this for?Do you want to take a test?
The supervisor said: "It contains some precautions. Of course, in most cases, we will remind you, but when you are interviewed by the media, there will always be some emergencies. I hope that you can read it in advance to understand the actual situation."

"In addition, there are some drafts of the overall plan for the Asian tour. You can make appropriate suggestions, and we can also modify the plan."

Qin Fei: .
Too many people is troublesome. When he was traveling in Asia before, he could do whatever he wanted by himself, but now it’s all right, all the trips are arranged tightly, and he can’t run even if he wants to.

Qin Fei was the first to open the plan, and took a look at it.

“First stop, Manila, Philippines”

Qin Fei could see the overall route, starting from Southeast Asia and going north all the way, including three stops in Southeast Asian countries, two stops in Japan, one stop in South Korea, and five stops in China. The main route is still in China.

"Ten Days in Asia"

The task was actually quite heavy, but Qin Fei did not refuse.

After all, it takes a little effort to take advantage of others and spend money, not to mention that this trip to Asia doesn't mean that he can't earn a penny himself.

In addition to the routes arranged by the sponsors, there are also some appearances specially invited by other merchants.

So there will definitely be some commercial performances, and the appearance fees before and after are calculated to be hundreds of thousands of dollars. This part of the income will basically be directly proportional to one's worth.

With Qin Fei's current appeal and star status, the price is very expensive.

Therefore, some players who are not very interested in Qin Fei will also criticize him maliciously.

They thought he was here to "make money".

"For the first event in the Philippines, a merchant specially invited you and Kobe Bryant to go together. Yes, Kobe's team has already agreed. Do you want to reject this event? If not, we can cancel this event from the itinerary."

Pelinka asked, the paper and pen in his hand are ready to record at any time.

Qin Fei was taken aback, "Why did you refuse? I know Kobe very well, we are good friends"

Qin Fei was also very surprised, and asked: "Is this guy not going to the Olympics?"

As time passed, some impressions in the long river of memory were gradually lost, and Qin Fei also forgot that Kobe had never participated in the national team before 08.

So when he heard that Kobe still had time to participate in business activities, he immediately felt very strange.

"No, he didn't.

"It may also be because it was too hard after the playoffs. Those who were invited to participate in the game basically went to the training camp very early.

"And the time for the Sydney Olympic Games is in September. If the time is tight, it is okay to do some other things now, but it may cause some bad influence on public opinion."

Pelinka explained and said a whole bunch of other things.

Qin Fei felt that what he said made sense.

"Then follow your plan, I think it's okay."

Qin Fei closed the document and threw it to Pelinka.

Pelinka laughed dumbfounded. He already knew Qin Fei's attitude. He has always been a hands-off shopkeeper who doesn't pay attention to small details.

Two days later, a silver plane flew from the east and landed at Manila Airport in the early morning.

The climate in Southeast Asia is relatively hot. Qin Fei, who was wearing a T-shirt and shorts, walked out among the crowd, wearing sunglasses.

In addition to some accompanying staff, there are also several strong bodyguards in black who are responsible for opening the way and protecting them.

However, these strong bodyguards didn't seem particularly tall beside Qin Fei.

After everyone left the airport, the merchant specially arranged for a vehicle to pick them up.

Qin Fei saw cheers suddenly coming from outside the airport. It turned out to be a group of fans who were stopped. They held up posters of Qin Fei and various slogans, and immediately showed their enthusiasm.

Qin Fei rolled down the car window and waved to the fans.

The fans were a little disappointed. During the whole session, there was no chance to get close to the idol.

Qin Fei actually wanted to get out of the car, but he agreed to Pelinka. During this trip, he will listen to the staff's arrangements throughout the trip. The staff line up is relatively dense, and there is no such process at all.

Check in at the hotel first, then rest and recover your strength.

In the afternoon, the staff came to knock on the door.

"Maha Guitar! Maha Guitar! (Hello)"

Qin Fei thought to himself that the hotel where he stayed was quite high-end, but he didn't know there was a person who didn't understand Filipino living in it?
He opened the door, only to see a charcoal-like head with an afro, laughing and shouting: "Maha Guitar."

"Yo, Kobe!"

Qin Fei laughed and punched Kobe, and the two embraced.

"You came earlier than me."

Qin Fei didn't know what Kobe's journey was like, but looking at Kobe's energetic appearance, it seemed that the jet lag had healed, and it took him a while to get used to it.

"After attending the commercial show with you tonight, I'm leaving. The Philippines is my third last stop."

In the playoffs, although the Lakers lost to the Warriors, Kobe is still a superstar in the league and has a very high popularity. There are also many fans in the Philippines.

Kobe is still a player under Adidas.

Qin Fei smiled and said: "So this is a joint commercial performance of the two brands? It's amazing."

"Do you want to fight one-on-one? I can be physically strong." Kobe provocatively extended an invitation to Qin Fei. He lost to Qin Fei in the playoffs, but he actually held his breath. Although the relationship with Qin Fei is very good now, but when he has the opportunity, he wants to fight Qin Fei.

Qin Fei waved his hand: "Stop making trouble, I am not your opponent at all in my current state."

Qin Fei didn't accept the moves at all. In this kind of game, winning or losing didn't mean much at all. Singled out was so tiring, and there was no attribute absorption, he didn't want to waste his energy at all.

In other words, no, no appointment!

you've been sucked by me
Kobe was a little disappointed. He looked at Qin Fei as if he really had no fighting spirit.

But when he thinks that such a person with no fighting spirit can still defeat him, and even win the championship, what a fucking fuck!
The two rested in the room for a while, and then the staff from both sides came to inform.

Called them both out.

First, I went to a local celebrity's mansion and attended a dinner party.

Qin Fei hasn't eaten yet, so it's reasonable to have something to eat first.

In the mansions of local celebrities, there was a lot of wine and wine. Qin Fei and Kobe were like mascots. They were visited and sought after by people, and many people came to chat with them.

How could the two of them remember the names of so many people, they could only smile and nod, and then took the time to fill their stomachs.

After the dinner, I took a rest for a while, and then I was pulled to an outdoor field.

This field has long been crowded with fans everywhere.

Kobe is wearing a pair of Adidas black color "the Kobe" series sneakers, the style and design concept of the sneakers are very advanced.

The sneakers brought by Qin Fei are Nike’s new "Fly" Mandarin Duck series sneakers. The sneakers are designed in two main colors. Qin Fei's left foot is dominated by red sneakers, and his right foot is blue sneakers. The tongue and laces are designed in contrasting colors. The victory logo on both sides is a fluorescent logo, which shines under the night lights and looks even cooler.

"your shoes"

Kobe was a little unhappy. Originally, his shoes were specially designed with color matching, which was already very good-looking, but he took a calm route, because he felt that he lost to the Warriors in the playoffs because he was not calm enough.

I didn't expect Qin Fei's sneakers to be so flamboyantly designed, and even made in fluorescent colors. Is this going to be a hip-hop dancer?

To be honest, he felt that the eyes of all the fans kept drifting to Qin Fei's feet after the cheers.

"How about it? My shoes are awesome. I designed them myself. If you like them, I can give you a few pairs." Qin Fei said triumphantly. If it wasn't for the competition, Kobe would even suspect that he was talking trash.

The two stepped into the stadium together, and under the lights of the scene, the fans cheered everywhere.

The host held a microphone that was not very bright, and shouted hoarsely there, but the effect was minimal, and no one listened to what he said.

The specific rule is that the two will each lead a team and play a friendly match.

Qin Fei didn't know who was in his team, but Kobe was very serious and had already gone to high-five his teammates. It seemed that those teammates were some well-known local people.
