Chapter 888 The fifth regular season MVP
Xie Kai and his wife Zhou Jing dressed up to attend. The two already had extremely high looks, but if they dressed up again, they would be even more glamorous, just like male and female guests attending a film festival.
The awards ceremony was star-studded, with many active stars, NBA celebrities, well-known reporters, and many people from the entertainment industry.
Xie Kai has become the focus of attention. He is the core of this season's championship team. He won the championship and FMVP. In one season, he not only told the world that he is still the strongest player in this league, but also helped The Thunder's rebranded team won the long-awaited championship.
That night, Xie Kai became the biggest winner. He overwhelmed the Rockets core Beard and won the regular season MVP of the 2016-17 season!This is the third regular season MVP trophy in his NBA career. He has won the most honors among active players.
In addition, 11-time championship winner and Bill Russell won the NBA Lifetime Achievement Award, Bucks rookie Brogdon won the Best Rookie Award, Chasing Egg Green won the DOPY, Eric Gordon won the Best No. 6 people, Antetokounmpo won the Most Improved Player Award.
Although Harden's fans were dissatisfied with Xie Kai getting the regular season MVP, but this time the MVP was announced at the end of the season. After seeing Harden and Xie Kai's performance in the playoffs, many people shut up.Even if the two can compete in regular season statistics and team leadership, the performance of the two in the playoffs shows a gap in grades.
Of course, the selection of MVP in the regular season does not combine the performance in the playoffs, but even in the regular season, Xie Kai's performance must be higher than that of Harden. His leadership and overall view are not comparable to Harden.
The All-Defensive Team for the 2016-17 season was also announced that night.Those selected for the first defense are: Chasing Dan, Gobert, Facial Paralysis, Xie Kai and CP3.
After Xie Kai won the MVP, some media specifically took out his current career achievements and compared them with some historical superstars.
谢开目前29岁，目前获得4个总冠军、3个常规赛MVP、3个总决赛MVP、5个一阵、6次全明星、4个得分王、3个抢断王，当然还有一些零零碎碎的荣誉。
The god of basketball, Michael Jordan, won the second championship of his career, two regular season MVPs and the finals MVP when he was 29 years old. Judging from these, Xie Kai is even in the lead.
When Kobe was 29 years old, he was 3 championships and 1 regular season MVP.
Therefore, compared with these two historical No. 2 positions, Xie Kai is currently in the leading position.Moreover, he is still at the peak and has a long career. As long as there are no major injuries, he should be able to win some big honors in the future.
No matter how many honors Xie Kai can get by the time he retires, the honors he has won so far alone are already the most among Asian players in the league.
After the awards ceremony, Xie Kai returned to his home in Los Angeles to continue recuperating.The continuous high-intensity competition left his body in a state of exhaustion. Because he had been celebrating winning the championship before, his body did not get a rest.Now that I have finally calmed down, I can relax myself a bit more.
In the past few days, Nike officials have been contacting his agent, hoping to reach an extension with him.In fact, since he won the championship, the opponent has been negotiating with his agent about renewing his contract.
After Xie Kai won the championship, Nike's enthusiasm for contract renewal was strong, but during last year's offseason, they didn't even bother to discuss early contract renewal.
Xie Kai is also very angry about this. If he hadn't shown his excellent competitive state, if he hadn't led the team to win the championship and won two MVPs, Nike probably thought that he would never be able to return to the top. brave.Perhaps they have already planned to promote younger superstars, and feel that God K is no longer good.
Although this is understandable in the interests of the company, but logically, it's hard to justify it. A skinny camel is bigger than a horse. Do you think I'm an ordinary All-Star?
Xie Kai is not in a hurry to renew his contract with Nike at all, he wants to renew his contract with me, show his sincerity!It's not just your family who won't renew your contract. Adidas, Converse, and Under Armor are all lining up to renew their contracts with me. I'm the most popular superstar in the league!
The contract between Xie Kai and Nike was signed in 2012. At that time, the contract lasted for 5 years and the total value was 7500 million US dollars.In the past 5 years, he has grown into the league's top superstar, and his K-series signature shoes have also become the league's best-selling signature shoes.
Nike made a lot of money for this. Of course they wanted to renew their contract, but because of the reimbursement for the opening season last season, their enthusiasm for renewing the contract has decreased a lot.To be precise, it's not that I don't want to renew the contract, but that I want to lower the price.
A skinny camel is bigger than a horse. Even if Xie Kai is only an ordinary All-Star when he comes back from injury, he still has the popularity of the top of the league because he is a Chinese.
And Xie Kai won the double MVP, once again proving that he is the top superstar, which made Nike anxious.They are afraid that Adidas and Under Armour, which has been gaining momentum recently, will sign a contract with Xie Kai first.
In fact, Adi and Under Armor did get in touch with Xie Kai, and they got in touch very early.It's just that Xie Kai is still in the contract, they can't sign a contract with him, but building a good relationship early is the first step of cooperation.
Xie Kai is really not in a hurry. His contract with Nike will expire at the end of September, and he is still in the contract. Whether it is to renew the contract or discuss cooperation with other companies, there is still plenty of time.
Xie Kai's business empire is mainly in charge of his agent Thaddeus Faucher and his wife Zhou Jing. As his current business value is getting bigger and bigger, the size of his brokerage team is also getting bigger and bigger.There are professional teams not only in the United States, but also in China, as well as overseas teams.
In the words of Xie Kai's mother, Chen Guixiang: "Our family's A Kai is the number one superstar in the NBA. He is an international star, and his management team should also be international."
Xie Kai announced through the media on June 6 that he would jump out of his contract and become a completely free agent.
This is not surprising. Xie Kai signed a two-year $2 million contract with the Thunder in the offseason last year, and the second year is a player option.
Although Xie Kai has become a completely free agent, the outside world does not think he will leave the Thunder.They just won the championship, there is no reason for him not to try to defend the title next season.
And the Thunder team won the championship last season, which also gave them the confidence to strengthen during the offseason. After all, the Big Three are so young, and the team's championship window should last for a long time.
The Chinese men's basketball team doesn't have any big games to play this summer, so Xie Kai has plenty of time to do his own thing.The training plan has not been fully launched, and he is still recuperating now, and some old injuries need to be recuperated.
