"Fifth shooting guard new ( to find the latest chapter!
Shentong's third-generation signature sneaker "Four Elephants" once again swept the rankings of major sneakers.
Adidas' high-level mouths can all smile crookedly.
There are even Adi’s senior executives who have begun to propose to sign a life-long endorsement contract with Shentong. After all, there are rumors that Nike has prepared an "impossible rejection" contract for Shentong, ready to dig into Adi’s corner.
A lifetime endorsement contract has also been put on the agenda.
This includes the company's most precious equity, etc...
Otherwise, Adidas really has no confidence that it can compete with the contract given by the wealthy Nike.
For the rumors that Adi and Nike competed for themselves, Shentong did not explain much.
I am the focus of contention. At this time, do I have to take the initiative to stand without waiting for Adi to raise the price?
Although Shentong has no intention to change the endorsement of the sports brand, at least Adi needs to show more sincerity.
......
The third-generation signature shoes of the "Four Elephants" corresponding to the four "skins" of Qinglong, Baihu, Suzaku and Xuanwu in the east, west, south and north have become the object of collection by many fans.
Just like many game fans like to collect the skins of the king's pesticides, many fans directly bought four third-generation sneakers just to collect them.
This has resulted in the sales of the third-generation sneakers far exceeding the previous two generations.
It has to be said that Shentong's operational and business minds absolutely had advanced thinking in early 2000.
Who made Shentong stand on the shoulders of "giant horses"?
......
While killing the Quartet on the court, Shentong also began to lay out and build its own menswear brand.
As previously agreed by Ivanka, Shentong founded its own menswear brand -GOD.
Ivanka also holds a small share of GOD, and Shentong uses Ivanka's market contacts and resources as well as personal charm and popularity to build momentum for its menswear brand GOD.
This brand is mainly aimed at high-end clothing, 100% suits and leather shoes, symbolizing successful people and elites, and the market targets are middle and high-level employees or senior white-collar workers in major companies.
With Shentong as the endorsement, coupled with Ivanka's operational capabilities, the GOD brand quickly became a household name for high-end apparel.
In the face of capital, Shentong did not refuse, and welcomes capital to invest in shares, using the influence of all parties to expand the brand and market value.
Originally, instead of using the time when you are the most popular, you can quickly converge the capital of all parties. Should you wait for your retirement to build your own brand?
Shentong's ambitions are actually not small, successfully pushing the GOD brand on NASDAQ.
But this matter is not in a hurry.
At the same time, Shentong also united GOD with its own charity fund.
In other words, the capital investment in GOD is actually contributing to Shentong's charity fund.
......
Shentong's popularity and influence have gradually penetrated into the basketball field and developed into various industries.
At the end of the season, the Cleveland Cavaliers played by Shentong locked in the Eastern Conference first!
Due to the Palace of Auburn Hills incident, the Detroit Pistons and Indiana Pacers have been affected more or less, so experts and fans generally believe that the Cavaliers will be very hopeful this season under the leadership of Shentong and James. finals!
Barkley made a bold statement: "Looking at the Eastern Conference, which team can compete with the Cavaliers? Miami Heat counts as one, but the cooperation between O'Neal and Wade is not realistic to win the championship in the first season, and the Detroit Pistons are also Barely counted as one, but they have experienced too many things this season, the overall state of the team is not as good as last season, I am not optimistic about them, as for the Boston Celtics? They can make the Eastern Conference finals is a victory."
After locking the first place in the East, the Cavaliers began to implement a rotation system to ensure that the players have a healthy body to meet the playoffs.
......
April 20, 2005, the last day of the regular season.
The Philadelphia 76ers and New Jersey Nets are fighting for the last playoff spot in the Eastern Conference.
There was only one game difference between the two teams, and the game started at the same time, so both teams worked hard to win.
The 76ers won 42 and the Nets won 41, but the Nets and the 76ers have a record advantage, so if the Nets win and the 76ers lose, then the Nets can still squeeze the 76ers in the final round. Advance to the playoffs.
If this is the case, then Iverson's hard work for a season will be in vain.
In comparison, the 76ers have some advantages in the final battle.
They are playing at home, and their opponent is also the average Atlanta Hawks.
The Nets are playing away, and the opponent is the fourth-ranked Boston Celtics in the East.
The Hawks have missed the playoffs, and the Celtics have been set to die in the fourth position, so the two teams don't seem to use their best.
......
The Philadelphia 76ers at home broke the suspense in the first quarter.
A wave of 37-19, a wave of 30-19, the Hawks are completely in motion.
Iverson played only 12 minutes in the first half, and the 76ers sealed the victory.
But despite only playing 12 minutes, Iverson scored 16 points.
In addition, Korver scored 21 points and 6 rebounds, Iguodala 12 points, Willie Green, Josh Davis and Mark Jackson also scored in double figures.
In the end, the Sixers scored in double figures with a 110-86 victory over the unscrupulous Eagles.
The most eye-catching performance of the Hawks is the new dunk king Josh Smith. He scored 18 points, 13 rebounds, 3 assists and 3 blocks, but was unable to reverse the defeat.
In another game, the Nets and the Celtics were in a fierce battle.
At the end of the first half, the Nets also trailed their opponents by 11 points 47-58.
But after the halftime break, the Nets suddenly broke out under the leadership of Jason Kidd, beating the Celtics with a wave of 32-8.
Vince Carter scored 37 points in this battle, and Kidd also contributed 19 points, 8 rebounds and 7 assists in a quasi triple-double.
Kostic had 18 points and 10 rebounds.
The Celtics have reservations. Pierce only played 26 minutes and scored 21 points. Dronte West contributed 15 points and 7 assists, and none of the others scored in double figures.
It seems that the Celtics want to help the Nets.
But the Nets' efforts were not rewarded.
Due to Philadelphia's home win, the Nets could only rank ninth in the Eastern Conference in the 04-05 season and missed the playoffs for the first time in five years.
Looking back at the time when the Nets had Martin, Shentong, and Jefferson three bouncers, coupled with Kidd, the empty city, now so lonely, it is also embarrassing.
......
When it was learned from the media that the Nets missed the playoffs, Shentong still expressed respect for the Nets and Kidd.
"Although they failed to make the playoffs, but the league is so cruel, it can only show that other teams played better. However, I still wish Jason Kidd, Richard Jefferson and Wen S-Carter, I wish them good luck and make a comeback next season."
In addition, the Lakers also had a game on the last day. They lost 103-106 to the Trail Blazers on the road.
Kobe is still brave, 10 of 20 shots, 17 of 21 free throws, 37 points, 5 rebounds and 4 assists, but the team still lost.
The Lakers also missed the playoffs for the first time since the 93-94 season.
For the Lakers missed the playoffs, O'Neal's response to the media is not as polite as Shentong.
"It's not surprising that they didn't make the playoffs because Los Angeles didn't have the Sharks. Now that they made the choice, I can only say that their choice is unparalleled. They can rest for a while and then watch the offseason. Will I be able to find some helpers in the future? As for me, I have to prepare for the playoffs with my good partner Dwyane Wade. Our goal is the Eastern Conference championship. Although we are the second in the Eastern Conference, I will not match Think that the knight is invincible."
For O'Neill's statement, Kobe did not respond to the media.
He said that he would take a good rest for a while, spend a vacation with his wife Vanessa, and show off the results of military training.
......
With the end of the final day of the playoffs schedule, a total of 16 teams from the East and the West have reached the playoffs and the final rankings are all produced.
The top eight in the east:
1. Cleveland Cavaliers, 60 wins and 22 losses;
2. Miami Heat, 56 wins and 26 losses;
3. Detroit Pistons, 52 wins and 30 losses;
4. Boston Celtics, 48 ​​wins and 34 losses;
5. Chicago Bulls, 47 wins and 35 losses;
6. Washington Wizards, 46 wins and 36 losses;
7. Indiana Pacers, 44 wins and 38 losses;
8. Philadelphia 76ers, 43 wins and 39 losses.
The top eight in the West:
1. Phoenix Suns, 62 wins and 20 losses;
2. San Antonio Spurs, 59 wins and 23 losses;
3. Seattle Supersonics, 52 wins and 30 losses;
4. Dallas Mavericks, 58 wins and 24 losses;
5. Houston Rockets, 51 wins and 31 losses;
6. King Satramento, 50 wins and 32 losses;
7. Denver Nuggets, 49 wins and 33 losses;
8. Memphis Grizzlies, 45 wins and 37 losses.
Although there are 60-win teams in the East, looking at the rankings of the East and West, the West is still strong and the East is weak.
In the West, the 50-win King can only be ranked sixth, while in the East, they can be ranked fourth.
The Minnesota Timberwolves are undoubtedly the most disappointing team this season.
Sprewell's contract renewal issue has become a time bomb for the team, causing the power of the three-headed monster to be very different from last season.
Garnett still played Dinghai Shenzhen, averaging 22.2 points, 13.5 rebounds, 5.7 assists, 1.5 steals, and 1.4 blocks per game.
However, the Timberwolves only ranked ninth in the West and missed the playoffs.
Therefore, the media once teased after the playoff list was released, saying that Kobe and Garnett, the high school brothers, could go fishing together.
......
According to the ranking, the Cleveland Cavaliers, number one in the East, will face the Philadelphia 76ers led by Iverson in the first round of the playoffs.
For the 76ers this season, the Cavaliers players and fans are certainly not unfamiliar, because their first defeat this season is thanks to Iverson and his 76ers.
It is for this reason that the Cavaliers dare not care about the 76ers.
Shentong even more to the media: "Allen Iverson has the ability to defeat a team by one person, not to mention that they also have Chris Webber, so we must not be careless, we must eliminate the first and the first. With the concept of eight, in my heart, the opponent is the Philadelphia 76ers. The opponent who gave us the first defeat this season, we must cheer up and value this round of the game."
Paul Silas also said that the Philadelphia 76ers are a very strong opponent and it is not easy to beat them. The Cavaliers will prepare for this series very seriously.
......
Compliments go to compliments, and the game goes to the game.
On April 23, 2005, the 04-05 season playoffs officially started.
The Cavaliers played against the 76ers who came to challenge at home.
Before the game, Paul Silas specifically talked to Da Juan Wagner.
"The Cavaliers want to ensure victory over the 76ers. Defending Allen Iverson is the key. Dajuan, can you do it?"
"I can!"
"Allen Iverson is the ceiling of the Eastern Conference point guard. If you can guard him, you will have enough strength to replace him."
"I can do it! There are 365 days a year, 24 hours a day, and 60 minutes an hour. I can handle Allen at any time!"
......
In the first game, the Cavaliers beat the 76ers 106-85 by 21 points.
Wagner bit Iverson like a mad dog.
This hundred-percent genius who was dubbed "Large Iverson" in high school really used his own strength to challenge Iverson!
Under Wagner's tireless close-fitting pressure, Iverson felt cold in the hands of the audience and was in no state.
Only 9 of 27 shots, 0 of 4 three-pointers, 8 free throws, but all hits.
Although he scored 26 points, his efficiency was very low and he made 6 turnovers. In addition, he didn't have enough contact with his teammates, with only 5 assists.
Although Wagner put most of his energy on defense, he was unambiguous on the offensive end.
He made 1 of 2 two-pointers, 2 of 3 three-pointers, and 2 free throws to get 10 points. In addition, he had 5 rebounds, 6 assists, 3 steals and 2 blocks.
All 2 blocked shots were given to Allen Iverson in the first quarter, which also caused a certain psychological impact on Iverson in the subsequent games.
Webber performed well in the first game, scoring a double-double with 25 points and 10 rebounds. Dalemport also scored 10 points and 18 rebounds.
For the Cavaliers, Willie Green couldn't help Shentong. The latter had an offensive end, scoring 38 points, 7 rebounds and 5 assists.
James had 21 points, 8 rebounds and 8 assists.
In the second game, the Cavaliers beat the 76ers 99-84 by 15 points, a 36-point net victory in the two games!
In this game, Iverson still received the attention of the Cavaliers team, but made some improvements in the organization and series of teammates.
The performance of 19 points and 10 assists looks pretty good, but 19 points are not Iverson’s normal scoring, and his 7-of-24 shooting rate is not even as good as in the first game~EbookFREE.me~ Webber also stalled in this game. , Only scored 15 points and 4 rebounds.
Had it not been for Dalemport's 14 points and 11 rebounds, the 76ers would have collapsed early.
For the Cavaliers, Shentong had 23 points, 4 rebounds and 4 assists, James had 20 points, 6 rebounds and 9 assists, and Wagner had 15 points and 6 assists.
The Cavaliers scored in double figures with five players. Big Z and Reggie Miller also contributed 9 points each.
The overall strength of the Cavaliers is far above the 76ers.
Judging from the first two games, Philadelphia has no chance of winning.
But the stubborn Iverson said that in Philadelphia, they will show Shentong and his Cavaliers a little bit of color, and will return to Cleveland with a score of 2-2.
