Chapter 644 Sun Hao changes sneaker endorsement!

Sun Hao's remarks were exposed by reporters and immediately caused an uproar.

Because this reaction can be said to be completely unexpected by everyone.

However, after recovering from the initial surprise, the fans' more realistic reaction was... Sun Hao's words were so charming!

The second half of Sun Hao's G6 in last season's finals gave fans a new understanding of his toughness.

With his current remarks, this understanding has been further deepened.

The championship is no longer the only goal, a valuable championship is!

But now in the alliance, only Sun Hao's words have such effect, and the words of others will definitely be treated as fools.

At this time in New York, James was completely moved after seeing Sun Hao's remarks.

No star in the league is willing to speak out for him, and the media is also in a position to denounce him.

It's really rare that Sun Hao is willing to stand up and "support" him at this time.

At this moment, Sun Hao's status in his heart has surpassed Jordan's and has become his number one idol.

James' decision and Sun Hao's remarks. After this series of events, this year's free market has come to an end.

However, the signings of several teams still attract attention.

For example, the Warriors and the Knicks have formed such a luxurious lineup. Do the Warriors need to strengthen their forward line?

After all, the forward combination of Anthony + James has an offensive ability that is rare in history.

Another example is the Knicks. According to the current lineup configuration, Harden, whose performance was sluggish in the second half of last season, is likely to play as the sixth man.

But even then, they still lack a "head" and a "tail."

The head refers to the meat shield center, and the tail refers to the point guard.

Considering that Wade, Anthony and James all focus on holding the ball, the first and last players must be without the ball and can defend three-pointers.

But because of the salary space, even if Dolan is really willing to spend money this time, they can only use the mid-level exception to sign someone in one position at most, and the rest can only be a basic salary.

Therefore, how the Knicks will strengthen in the future and who they will sign are all very interesting.

But no matter what, the league pattern finally changed after this season.

In the previous seasons, it was basically a group of heroes vying for the throne. In the end, a hero emerged from troubled times and aspired to the world.

But now, it's obvious that something is fighting against that smell.

The confrontation between the Warriors and the Knicks will become the main theme of the league for a long time to come.

Sun Hao also continued to shift his attention to the training camp at this time.

The first few days of the training camp are just warm-up, and the rest has to be targeted training.

In his own words, in addition to continuing to improve his ball-handling skills, another thing that needs to be strengthened is his finishing ability.

This end refers to the breakthrough end.

Last season's dreamy footwork was actually an aid to improve finishing.

But just like Paul last season, physical fitness will become an issue if every finish requires so many technical moves and physical effort.

So how to send the ball into the basket after a breakthrough simply and effectively is something Sun Hao needs to consider when he reaches this stage.

The necessary approach is to gain appropriate weight.

Weight is always the most effective way to increase resistance.

Sun Hao's current weight is about 97 kilograms, and he is an agile defender for his height.

The weight gain plan formulated by Baker was around 103 kilograms.

In other words, he will gain about 10 pounds this summer, which will slightly reduce his flexibility, but will not have much impact on his lateral movement on the defensive end. Of course, the most important thing is that the confrontation will be significantly improved.

In addition to Sun Hao's personal improvement, the training of other people in the training camp is also crucial.

Like Bell, he is older, and unlike Sun Hao, he needs to lose weight appropriately to maintain defensive flexibility.

This also means that he basically defended from the guard position in the later stage.

His adjustment is still very important.

Nelson will definitely use more small-ball lineups in the new season, so McGrady will appear more in the third position.

In other words, the team's second position has free playing time.

Nelson originally had high hopes for Danny Green last season, but Green's mediocre performance in the finals showed that he still needs time to grow.

At this time, the addition of Bell becomes very important. Whether he appears with Sun Hao or Curry, he can provide huge help on both offense and defense, not to mention his game experience.

Then another key figure is Ibaka.

In last year's finals, first Barkley laughed and joked in the commentary, and then Yi Jianlian made a comparison, and Ibaka's three-point training was put on the agenda.

In fact, a detail issue that many people ignore is that it was the big pitchers who first made it possible for small balls to appear, and then after the arrival of small balls, more big men developed the ability to shoot long distances.

As for whether the big man can really be developed, it depends on his personal talent and hard work.

Ibaka is exactly the kind of person who has both.

Therefore, it is not a fantasy for him to develop his three-point ability in one summer.

While Sun Hao's training camp was going on, there was a series of news about the Knicks' reinforcements.

Judging from the frequency of signings, the Knicks were already talking to free agents before James made his decision.

Because the target of their mid-level exception is the Grizzlies' former sixth man Mike Miller.

Miller's performance with the Grizzlies last season was not bad, and he was not short of contracts, but he finally signed a three-year, 15 million contract with the Knicks.

This is obviously a salary reduction signing, and it is for the championship.

Moreover, the Knicks used this most important exception on the outside, which also shows that their style of play next season will also follow the small ball route.

The most useful exceptions are used, and then there is the basic salary.

The Knicks signed several minimum salary players in a row, which is quite targeted.

In addition to Miller on the outside, they used the basic salary to get Eddie House, an outside pitcher who had tried out with the Bulls with Sun Hao.

Then, they used a minimum salary to sign Sean Williams, a power forward with three-point range.

In addition to the Big Three, the Knicks are obviously building the team around the "James system".

Of course, a meat shield is definitely indispensable.

Dampier was just bought out in the offseason, and the Knicks also signed him with a minimum salary.

In addition, "Big Z" Ilgauskas failed to get a Warriors contract and chose to switch to the Knicks.

In this way, the basic framework of the Knicks has actually been established.

Point Guard: Wade, Tony Douglas, Eddie House

Shooting Guard: Mike Miller, Harden

Small forward: Anthony, Paul George

Power forward: James, Sean Williams, Julian White

Center: Turiaf, Dampier, Ilgauskas

As long as some minor repairs are made on this basis, this lineup is already very powerful.

What needs to be mentioned here is that, as in history, James joined the Knicks in a sign-before-trade model.

In order to fulfill James' reputation, the Knicks sent two future first-rounders and two second-rounders in this deal, as well as a large-number trade exception.

Some reporters even broke the news that Paul George was once mentioned in this transaction, but in the end the Knicks management was still reluctant.

However, this kind of transaction also means that the Knicks have much less room for draft reinforcements, and it means that it is a matter of failure.

The free market is almost settled, and there are basically plenty of things to watch next season.

Fans can't wait for the season to start at this point, but there are still several months of grass in between.

And in theory, if there is a Men's Basketball World Cup this offseason, fans won't be so bored.

But the reality is that the starlight of this year's Men's Basketball World Cup is as dim as ever.

Let’s talk about the newly emerging basketball hegemon, the Chinese team. Yao Ming will miss this World Championship due to some toe injuries.

Sun Hao will also not play due to personal reasons.

For the Chinese team, it is Yi Jianlian who takes the lead this time.

This is not Yi Jianlian's first time in the national team. He has proven his ability to lead the team before in the Asian Championships.

Of course, the World Championships and the Asian Championships are not at the same level at all, and this will be a new test for Yi Jianlian.

Then, there’s Team USA.

The U.S. team's dream failed last time, and since it was the World Championships, the domestic super giants were not very enthusiastic about competing.

This time, the lineup sent by the US team is mainly composed of young players, such as Rose, Westbrook, Gay, Granger...

These are all the younger generation.

Then it is worth mentioning that on the Warriors side, Durant and Curry are also on the Dream Nine team's list.

The two strongest national teams have this lineup, so it is expected that they receive less attention.

However, in Europe, the fans' emotions are as high as ever.

Because this time the competition is in Turkey, in Europe.

And if the Chinese and American teams do not have the strongest lineups, it means that their opportunity has come.

Teams such as Spain, Lithuania, Serbia, and even Russia are ready to make a move.

Time flies, and in a blink of an eye, the World Championships is about to start.

It was at this time that there was some minor disturbance in Europe.

This turmoil has something to do with Sun Hao.

When Sun Hao played in La Liga, he was the king of Europe and had unparalleled popularity in Europe.

He later became famous in the NBA, and his popularity reached a peak.

Sun Hao is the only non-European player to have unprecedented popularity in Europe.

But this time Sun Hao chose not to play in the World Championships without serious injuries. It is inevitable for fans to be disappointed.

Then something deep-rooted began to emerge.

Among these fans, some people made comments about Sun Hao's skin color.

Because of historical relations, some Europeans, especially white Europeans, look down upon Asians.

Many fans made inappropriate remarks, but the local government did not choose to punish them.

Because it involves politics, it's hard to talk about this kind of thing.

But what is a little unexpected is that among these people, there are actually employees of Adidas.

Then Adi didn't deal with it immediately!

This concept is very different.

Because Sun Hao can now be said to be Adidas' number one star!

Moreover, at this time, the contract between Adi and Sun Hao expired, and the two parties were negotiating a lifetime contract!

Although after being reminded by Paul Fu, Adidas officially dealt with the employees involved, it was already a bit of a waste of time.

The biggest thing is Sun Hao's feeling.

Sun Hao came from time travel. Before he time traveled, he experienced a lot of trade frictions and knew that some things are difficult to change.

So he asked Rich Paul to temporarily suspend negotiations on a lifetime contract with Adi.

Fu Paul knew that Sun Hao would definitely feel uncomfortable when this happened.

However, he still suggested that Sun Hao continue to cooperate with Adi.

Because Sun Hao's Adidas sneaker series is a global hit, if he really stops cooperating with Adidas because of this matter, the loss will be immeasurable.

"Richie, you made a mistake."

Originally Sun Hao was just hesitant, but what Paul Fu said made him make up his mind.

“The reason sneakers sell well is not because they are Adidas products, but because they are my shoes.”

Rich Paul was stunned for a moment when he said this, but finally nodded with a smile.

"Of course."

Although Adidas worked hard when cooperating with Sun Hao, it was also to compete with Nike in the United States.

Many people have endorsed Adidas before, but the main reason that allows Adidas to truly compete with Nike in North America is Sun Hao.

"I thought there was an opportunity for us to switch to Nike."

After Fu Paul heard that Sun Hao had no intention of cooperating with Adi, he immediately came up with new suggestions.

Although Nike already has James and Kobe, Sun Hao's profile is still much bigger than those two.

Moreover, Nike is the official sponsor of the NBA. In the future, Sun Hao will be more stable in the league's honor selection.

But unexpectedly, Sun Hao still shook his head.

"What about Under Armor, or New Balance?"

Rich Paul then suggested again.

If Sun Hao doesn't want to compete with James, Kobe and others for share, then joining a third-party brand would be a good idea.

At least, these brands are North American, which has a greater say in the league than Adidas.

But unexpectedly, Sun Hao still shook his head.

Rich Paul didn't understand this time. Sun Hao didn't want this or that. Could it be that he wanted to build his own brand like O'Neal?

That sounds good. Sun Hao's personal influence is much higher than that of O'Neal as a defender.

But there are many things a brand needs to consider!

If you want to do it, it should be done earlier, but it is a bit late at this time.

“Go check out the Chinese brands.”

Then, Sun Hao's next words shocked Paul Fu.

Sun Hao actually wants to endorse a Chinese brand, the quality of Chinese sneakers...

But he definitely couldn't say this. After all, Sun Hao was Chinese.

"I heard that a company called Anta is pretty good. Go and get in touch with it."

What Sun Hao said next was giving an order.

Fu Paul knew that Sun Hao had made a decision, so he didn't say anything and just nodded.

However, he also had doubts in his heart about what this company called Anta had that deserved Sun Hao's attention.
