Chapter 273: Adidas.SH 95

　　 The weather in Dallas in January continued to turn cold, but the fans were enthusiastic.
　　 Because at this time, the league announced the results of the first round of the 2003 Atlanta All-Star Game, and the names of the Mavericks players frequently appeared.
　　 On the west side, Sun Hao's first round of votes Wang Sanlianzhuang.
　　 Nowitzki is also the first time in his career, surpassing Duncan and Garnett in the votes, and ranked first in the Western Conference.
　　 But in the east, the one who dominates is unexpected.
　　 40-year-old Jordan!
　　 Well, Jordan's votes are very close to Sun Hao.
　　 This is obviously not only because of personal strength.
　　 Jordan’s previous "last dance" remarks were to revive the Wizards’ morale, but it also made fans crazy to vote for him in the All-Star Game.
　　 Because, at Jordan's current age, the possibility of a comeback after retirement is zero.
　　 In other words, this is the season of Jordan's "last dance", and it is also Jordan's "last dance" in the All-Star Game!
　　 Of course, this has a lot to do with Jordan’s phrase last year, "The reason for my comeback is because of the bet with Sun Hao."
　　 That sentence was the best canvassing at the time, and it allowed Sun Hao to finally get 2.51 million votes, breaking Jordan's 2.5 million all-star vote record.
　　 But in the same way, that sentence also won the favor of a large number of Chinese fans for Jordan.
　　 As a result, after Jordan announced the "Last Dance" this year, Chinese fans also voted for him madly.
　　 Speaking of gratitude, Chinese fans are second to none.
　　 Jordan, he helped himself unconsciously.
　　 Jordan is Yao Ming, and then McGrady.
　　 McGrady: Meow meow?
　　 A living example of Jordan is in sight. After Stern has decided not to adjust the vote ratio of Chinese fans, the influence of Chinese fans on the All-Star game has been unparalleled.
　　 With McGrady playing such a crazy season but still only ranked third in the East, these All-Star players seem to have only two options.
　　 Option 1: Continue to boycott the current voting rules as before, although this has proven to be useless in the past two years;
　　 Option 2: Find a way to please Chinese fans.
　　 The January game continues, and the All-Star voting continues.
　　 At this time, two small things happened in the league.
　　 First, the Trail Blazers assistant coach Mike D'Antoni ran away and ran to the Warriors.
　　 This was not surprising at first. D'Antoni was just a member of the coaching staff in the Trail Blazers and became the first assistant coach in the Warriors.
　　 This is a disguised promotion and salary increase.
　　 The problem is... this happened in the middle of the season!
　　 There is another message conveyed here, the Blazers, the once powerful and notorious "Portland Prison", has begun to fall apart from players to the coaching staff.
　　 The second one is about the All-Star voting.
　　 In fact, reporters and fans also realized that in the case that the league has no intention of changing the voting rules, it is necessary to show favor to Chinese fans.
　　 "Do you think Yao is the best center in the East?"
　　 But when the reporter threw this question to Carter, who is likely to be squeezed out of the All-Star starting because of his injury, the "UFO" answered decisively.
"Do not."
　　 Historically, Carter was wirelessly complained by fans and the media because he refused to take the initiative to give Jordan a starter in the same year.
　　 In fact, this year in history, if you take the initiative to start and be accepted by Jordan, it will be a good story, a best heritage.
　　 But Carter refused just as decisively.
　　 I have to say, [Emotional Intelligence] This course, Carter is not very good.
　　 The reporter also threw the same question to McGrady.
　　 McGrady’s accomplishments in this course are much better than Carter.
　　 "Yes, he is so tall but has so much flexibility, incredible. I partnered with him when I participated in Adi China two years ago. He is very, very good."
　　 Look, this is called [Emotional Intelligence].
　　 In fact, although McGrady has a mild personality in history, his emotional intelligence has always been high.
　　 This is also a year in history. McGrady stepped up for the first time and said that he wanted to give up the starting position to Jordan. You must know that his explosive performance this year has made him one of the top four shooting guards and become a veritable "Jordan successor."
　　 There is one more thing, that is, many NBA superstars have said that they will go to CBA after retirement, but in the end only McGrady really went, which also won him a lot of popularity and economic benefits.
　　 Then, when the results of the second round of the NBA ballot came out, McGrady's votes directly drove Carter away.
　　 When the results of the third round of ballots came out, Carter was almost out of sight of McGrady's rear lights.
　　 Cousin, this time I finally crushed my cousin in all directions.
　　 Then, my cousin panicked.
　　 After the game against the Wizards, Carter... changed his mind!
　　 "Yao is a very good big man, he seems to be able to do everything, scoring, rebounding, assists, defense, he is one of the best big men."
　　 The reporter didn't ask Yao Ming's question, but Carter took the initiative to raise it.
　　 This... really fragrant?
　　 But this approach is really Carter.
　　 In history, Carter refused to let the starter, but when he waited for the race, he forced Jordan to start.
　　 However, everything is too late.
　　 After the final result of the All-Star vote came out, Carter finally lost the starting lineup.
　　East: Iverson, McGrady, Jordan, O'Neal, Yao Ming.
　　 Originally, with Carter's popularity, even if he didn't have as many votes as Jordan, he would not lose to O'Neal.
　　 But just like in history, even if he gave the starting line, he was always complaining about him because he refused to take the initiative. He said that Yao Ming, Chinese fans would rather give the ticket to O'Neal before giving him.
　　 West: Sun Hao, Kobe, Nowitzki, Duncan, O'Neal.
　　 Popovich was happy this time, because it was finally Duncan who was squeezed out.
　　 But this is really not to blame for the Chinese fans. Although Duncan is low-key, the Spurs are now much stronger than the Timberwolves.
　　 and the name of Garnett 58, unless it is inherited, otherwise the pit is too deep to jump out!
　　 Garnett:...
　　 After the All-Star starting list was confirmed, the next thing that attracted attention was the bench list and the individual events.
　　Sun Hao received an invitation to the league's individual event again, but this time in addition to the three-point game, he actually received an invitation to the dunk contest!
　　This...Surely it's not a mistake?
　　 Still, he underestimated his dunk ability? In fact, before he knew it, he had grown into a super buckler? !
　　 Okay, he didn't believe this.
　　 However, I can understand why the league did it.
　　 The dunk contests in the past few years are too lacking to watch. Last year, it was even called the worst dunk contest in history by fans.
　　 Stern, I certainly don’t want this to continue.
　　 So when I can't persuade the super dunkers to participate, I can only ask for some gimmicks.
　　 This is what he is good at.
　　Sun Hao, said he would think about it.
　　The time came to the end of January, and the league announced the list of All-Star substitutes and individual events.
　　 Sun Hao’s name did not appear in the individual event list.
　　 This is also expected. If you can't win the championship, going to participate is obviously playing a supporting role for others. This kind of thing is not his style.
　　 Sun Hao did not appear in the individual event, and the fans felt that they could skip this day's game again.
　　 However, the All-Star bench list is still attracting attention.
　　East: Kidd, Francis, Carter, Pierce, Jamal Marshburn, Antoine Walker, Ben Wallace;
　　 Anyway, the league's coaches gave Carter face and didn't let him miss the All-Star Game.
　　 West: Payton, Marbury, Nash, Bodie Loga, Marion, Chris Weber, Garnett.
　　 Nash, was selected for the All-Star Game for the first time in his career!
　　 Although it is too early to make a conclusion, at least from the results of this season, Nash leaving the Mavericks may not be a good thing.
　　 Another thing worth mentioning is Marion, who has averaged 21.2 points, 9.5 rebounds, 2.4 assists, 2.3 steals and 1.2 blocks per game.
　　 Before Nash went to Phoenix in history, he was already very strong.
　　……
　　 The Mavericks suffered a wave of injuries before entering February, and the team's record has fluctuated.
　　 But this is very common in the season. Before the All-Star Game, their record is fixed at 39 wins and 9 losses, and their record is still top of the league.
　　 Because of this, Nelson Sr. became the head coach of the All-Star Game of the Western Army for two consecutive years.
　　 Old Nelson's face is red, nothing else is important, the important thing is to continue to suppress Popovich.
　　 And this time, the Mavericks have three people selected, as well as his former lover Nash.
　　 If he had a few words with Popovich, he would definitely be able to kill his opponent by opening his mouth.
　　For example: "Congratulations, Duncan is finally starting this time."
　　 Another example: "I knew I had let Nash leave Dallas earlier. You see, I delayed him to become an All-Star."
　　 Or: "I really didn't vote for Body Loga. You won't vote for him anymore?"
　　 However, with Popovich’s "intelligence", the possibility of appearing in Atlanta on the All-Star weekend is slim.
　　……
　　 As early as December of this year, the people of Adidas invited Sun Hao to design his second signature sneaker.
　　 At Sun Hao’s suggestion, this signature sneaker incorporates Chinese elements.
　　, of course, is not the ugly and handsome of Jay, but the element of Chinese characters is added.
　　 Of course, it is not the kind of Hao Zi that takes apart the left foot for a day and the right foot for a day.
　　 The kind is not ugly but low.
　　 Instead, the Chinese character "Sun" was introduced.
　　Sun has many stories, but for Chinese people, if you pick up this Chinese character alone, the first thing you think of is the monkey.
　　 The monkey who is not afraid of everything.
　　 This is very consistent with Sun Hao's temperament in the NBA.
　　 His three-pointer is like that golden hoop, piercing through everything.
　　Also, Sun Hao and his Mavericks have been challenging those tycoons, first the Spurs and then the Lakers, which is very similar to the monkey's experience.
　　 Even in order to strengthen the association, the background of the character Sun is to fly through the clouds, plus a looming golden hoop.
　　 This is a signature sneaker with Chinese characteristics.
　　 Adi... Of course not stupid.
　　 They went to count the sales of that Adidas.sun.hao last year and decided.
　　 The consumption level of Chinese fans is much higher than they thought.
　　 This sneaker is named Adidas.SH95.
　　 Well, named after Sun Hao's initials and his jersey.
　　 Because of Sun Hao's unique jersey number, the name of this shoe is also quite unique.
　　 And like last year, although Adidas designed this sneaker earlier than last year, they officially launched it before the All-Star Game.
　　 After the success of last year’s marketing strategy, Adidas has already planned to fix Sun Hao’s signature sneakers in the All-Star Game.
　　 Of course, this approach has also attracted some complaints.
　　 There are fans and stars too.
　　 Because of Adi, he completely pushed Sun Hao as the first card!
　　 Sun Hao, after all, he is only in the third grade!
　　 Especially Kobe and McGrady.
　　East Mesico is now the hottest star in the NBA.
　　 But this is also the perspective of the sneaker sponsors and the fans on the players.
　　 The sponsors are businessmen, and they look at the sales of sneakers.
　　 The sales of Sun Hao's first signature sneakers last year surpassed both Kobe and Tracy McGrady, and with the appearance of this year's "Dallas show.time", it opened a lot.
　　 No way, there may be room for improvement in other areas in China, but it is because of the large number of people.
　　 Sun Hao is also the most shoe-selling defender. This did not blast other people into scum, and it was also because the domestic Internet information was not too developed in this era.
　　 But personally, I can see how much room for Sun Hao's sneaker sales to increase, so the main push him to use his toes to do that.
　　 There are even some optimistic executives who look forward to Sun Hao's shoes being able to become independent in the future and become a sub-brand that can compete with Nike AJ.
　　 Of course, it will take some time to get away from those, but it won't be too far.
　　 Same as last year, Addie pulled McGrady Bryant and the others to be the green leaves in order to support Sun Hao.
　　 McGrady continued to show [Emotional Intelligence], chatting with Sun Hao very engaged.
　　Even, he and Sun Hao talked about the possibility of the two playing together in the future.
　　 Although it's a little crazy, everything is possible.
　　 If you can really cooperate with Tracy McGrady at his peak, it will definitely make the fans reach new heights.
　　 But Kobe is not Tracy McGrady, and the differences in their personalities are also reflected in the activity.
　　 Kobe, basically there are no smiles.
　　 He even fought like the king of Los Angeles, and Adi’s top card was already because he had a good relationship with Sun Hao.
　　 Kobe and Adi’s contract will expire next year. It can be foreseen that there will be a storm.
　　 However, Kobe's attitude did not affect the launch of Sun Hao's new shoes.
　　 This sneaker full of Chinese elements exploded the moment it was unveiled.
　　 Needless to say domestically, the pun "sun", coupled with the unique new logo, and Adi's latest sneaker technology.
　　 Like the kb8 in history, it is destined to be a classic sneaker when it appears.
　　 Moreover, the response from North America and other regions is also very strong~EbookFREE.me~ I love these shoes! Charles will help me get it! "
　　 Kenny Smith made no secrets on the TNT show.
　　 And his words are fine, Barkley, his former golden partner, is now Sun Hao's teammate.
　　 If you want to talk about the export of Chinese culture to foreign countries, that monkey is definitely a successful case.
　　 Sino-US co-production...
　　 Just kidding, but as a virtual character in China, Monkey King is definitely the most famous one.
　　……
　　 As Sun Hao sneakers tend to be an annual topic, the Atlanta All-Star Weekend officially opened.
　　 The rookie game on the first day is the highlight.
　　 This year's second-year lineup is quite interesting.
Yao Ming, Gasol, Parker, Ginobili, Arenas, Jason Richardson, Sean Battier, Joe Johnson, Tyson, Chandler, Zach Randolph... …
　　 This is a drastically underrated draft.
　　Sun Hao was also curious about what Yao Ming would be like in this lineup.
　　 In history, Yao Ming has never appeared on the rookie game.
