The God of Basketball

On October 31, the first batch of 20,000 pairs of sneakers was shipped from China to all parts of North America.

At $145, it's not cheap. Among the signature shoes of active NBA players, the unit price is second only to LeBron James, Tracy McGrady, Allen Iverson and Kobe Bryant.

As we all know, these four players are the most appealing and commercially influential outside stars in the NBA today.

When the price of the sneaker was announced two days before the official release, it caused a lot of criticism.

Many people vowed to declare: "Bruce Lee Han's fearless and challenging spirit will definitely make him a complete failure in business. He has no foundation to challenge this price. The sneaker market is by no means just looking for two female stars to hype gossip. If he can occupy it, if he honestly sets the price at 50 US dollars or lower, there may be a chance of survival..."

The voices of these people actually increased the public's curiosity about this product, and in a sense, it made it pay more attention.

"WOW!!"

"!!"

Before the Lakers' opening game, Eddie Griffin screamed in the locker room. He got Bruce's signature shoes, which were specially customized for him by Li Zhen.

He has a very close relationship with Li Zhen, and he does not have a sneaker sponsorship contract, so he can wear any brand of sneakers.

So, of course he wants to get the moon first.

"This is definitely an epoch-making product. It's so light! And it fits very well and is extremely flexible." Griffin jumped up and down, and he shouted excitedly: "I want to dunk it when I put it on!"

His exaggerated speech attracted the attention of everyone in the locker room, even Kobe Bryant couldn't help but look at it. Then I picked up Li Zhen's signature shoes from Li Zhen's locker and watched them carefully.

He also released his first signature shoe in Nike this year, but when he saw Li Zhen's generation, also known as "Red Chain Snake". He couldn't face his heart calmly: both the exterior design and the internal technology completely surpassed his signature shoes.

This is a pair of 100% defender shoes, if it is not limited by the brand, he would even want to try it on.

Even Kobe Bryant expressed envy.

Not to mention other players.

In the NBA, only a very small number of superstars at the top of the pyramid can have their own signature shoes, and then a small number can sign sponsorship contracts with brands, but the sneakers they wear are only basic models or signature models of other players. More players get merchandise vouchers from sponsors and use the vouchers to buy shoes. Or, you don’t even have a voucher at all, and you have to pay the full price to buy shoes yourself.

It turned out that only Kobe Bryant had signature shoes in the Lakers locker room.

Now, Li Zhen not only has. Also come up with their own brand. This made many players envious, but also jealous, and even spitting out their mouths.

"Are you sure anyone's going to buy these low-top shoes? Some guys with the 'Jordan Dream' don't want to declare bankruptcy before their rookie season is over."

Smash Parker whispered sourly to Andrew Bynum next to him.

Bynum also echoed: "That's right, that's right. Players who can't even make the starting lineup want to push signature shoes. Isn't this... a dream?"

The two red-eyed beasts who couldn't eat the grapes spoke sourly.

But Li Zhen ignored them at all.

As far as the IQ levels of these two people are concerned, talking about the "economy" with them is basically playing the piano with each other.

So why bother?

It was Eddie Griffin who taunted the two of them: "You two are not even qualified to dream, and you can't wear your own signature shoes in your life. What are you sour? Squeeze the foam into your mouth when you take a bath at night Squeeze, don't let the stench spray on me."

Eddie Griffin has always been known as a villain.

When his right index finger came in front of the two of them, they pressed back knowingly.

And automatically stop talking.

This attitude of daring to speak out is also in line with their image as 'hater'.

In fact,

When Eddie Griffin stepped forward to attack someone. Kwame Brown also stood up, and the "parallel import champion" didn't talk too much. But the entire locker room knew that he followed Li Zhen's lead.

Also, he's a little different from Eddie Griffin.

Griffin is a fan of Bruce's music, and he always looks like "the idol is bigger than the sky, and he guards the best Bruce".

Kwame doesn't listen to music, he's a basketball fan of Bruce. He cooperates very well with Li Zhen. Every time he plays with Li Zhen at the same time, he is very relieved, and he always performs well, eating cakes and eating very happily. During this period of time, his evaluation in the media has risen, and everything is due to Bruce.

So, whether it's in the locker room or on the training ground. Whenever someone made targeted actions against Bruce, or sneered at him. Eddie Griffin must be the first to rush up to hate someone. But the one standing behind crackling his fingers must be Kwame Brown.

They are like the dynasty Mahan next to Tanhualang, escorting them.

Let Li Zhen live quite comfortably in the Lakers.

...

The Los Angeles Lakers opener against the Milwaukee Bucks.

The Bucks are an out-and-out weak team. In the predictions of major websites and major media in the new season, they are all hard-working Eastern vice squad leaders. No one is optimistic about their prospects this season. Everyone thinks that they will play badly and prepare for the draft year.

Therefore, the Lakers won this game without bloodshed, which was a good start for the 2006-2007 season.

Bruce played 11 minutes in the first regular season of his career, scoring 6 points, 6 assists, 1 rebound, 1 steal and 2 turnovers.

The efficiency is amazing, and also contributed the most exciting shots of the game. With 3 minutes left in the first quarter, he played for the first time amid the cheers of the home fans, and used a cross step to deflect Mo Williams' defense. When Mo Williams tried his best to catch up, He tricked Williams into jumping again with a bow, and when he rushed forward quickly, Mo Williams lost his center of gravity during the forced follow-up and fell to the ground.

At the same time, Australian No. 1 Scholar Bogut rushed forward, trying to give Tanhualang a little color.

But Li Zhen spun quickly, and he quickly elbowed the basketball to Eddie Griffin who followed up on the left.

Griffin, wearing the 'Red Chain Snake', received the basketball and immediately jumped into the air, his body drawing a rainbow in the air... Boom!

A magical assist, and a dunk like a flying fairy.

The cooperation of the two made the slow motion play back more than five times.

In these five replays, in addition to the smooth performance of the two, what is even more eye-catching is the exact same sneakers on their feet.

"Oh! This is Bruce's signature shoe. It's already on sale across the United States at two o'clock this afternoon, and it's said to be very popular."

Earl Johnson also did a beautiful commercial for Li Chen on the TNT National Live Channel.

In the following, Eddie Griffin also continued to show the demeanor of the "spokesperson".

His cooperation with Bruce is extremely tacit. After the pick-and-roll, almost every ball can enter the paint to win shots.

Villanueva's defense was nothing to him.

And, after Li Zhen left the stage. He actually showed off two mid-range and long-range jumpers.

He surprised the fans at the scene. Everyone thought he was an addition to the deal.

Unexpectedly, now, he has become a bench gangster.

Although with Kobe, Odom, and Bynum playing one after another, his role quickly edged out, and then he was replaced. But his cooperation with Li Zhen really made Lakers fans shine and see new possibilities.

After the game, with 14 points and 5 rebounds, he did not forget to show off his sneakers in front of the camera when interviewed by the media.

"It was my secret weapon tonight. I've never worn a shoe that fits so lightly and fits perfectly. I suggest NBA dunkers or guards try it on. It will definitely bring you better results." Good pitch."

Griffin puts more effort into advertising than playing.

But his words are indeed like a seed. Although I don't know when it will germinate, at least it has been planted in the hearts of NBA players.

After a bland, conversationless opening game, the news that stunned the NBA came at noon the next day.
