then……

One month later.

The 2010 Men's Basketball World Championship officially started in Türkiye.

Although the starlight is slightly dim, the game still attracts a lot of attention because it is a game in the NBA's rough period.

As double champions of the World Championships and Olympic Games, the Chinese team is naturally the focus of attention.

Although Sun Hao did not participate in the competition, he still sent a video to the national team to encourage him. He will naturally pay attention to it if there is a competition.

Although he is not suitable for such high-intensity competitions because he is gaining weight, his heart is still with the national team.

The Chinese team's opponent in the first game was a tough opponent, the Greek team.

The Greek team rose to prominence at the Tokyo World Championships four years ago and also performed brilliantly at the Beijing Olympics. Now they are the second-tier team behind China and the United States.

Now that the Chinese team has lost its two core players, it is weaker than the Greek team on paper.

Not to mention that Greece was fighting in Europe and had the right time, place and people.

As soon as the game started, they took the initiative on the court.

What needs to be mentioned here is that because of the stalemate in the relationship between Sun Hao and Adidas, many European fans who supported Sun Hao began to turn from fans to fans, and they also began to be hostile to the Chinese team.

As soon as the game started, the Chinese team booed loudly as soon as they got the ball. This was even more of an away game than an away game.

Halfway through the first quarter, 10 to 2, the Greek team was full of momentum.

At the critical moment, the person who stepped forward for the Chinese team was Yi Jianlian.

He first gave a big block to Spanoulis, and then followed up on the fast break and received Sun Yue's pass and directly smashed the ball into the basket through "Little Shark" Skorzanitis.

This dunk ignited the morale of the Chinese team.

Moreover, Yi Jianlian at this time was much stronger than Yi Jianlian at the same time in history. Not only did he grow on both offense and defense, but his passing ability also improved a lot after playing with Paul for a long time.

His low-post singles attracted Zhu Fangyu who was double-teamed and distributed to the outside. The latter hit a three-pointer with a knife in his hand.

Take a look at the starting lineup of the Chinese team, Yi Jianlian, Wang Zhizhi, Zhu Fangyu, Sun Yue, and Liu Wei.

Even without the two core players, this lineup with one All-Star and three NBA players is not weak, let alone a tacit understanding.

The Chinese team fought back hard, and the Greek team was not weak either. The two teams were tied at halftime.

In the second half, the Greek team double-teamed Yi Jianlian more thoroughly. It was Sun Yue's turn to perform.

Sun Yue became a starter for the Clippers. Although his function in the NBA is 3D, his strength in all aspects has actually been greatly improved.

In the international arena, he can also handle the pressure.

He first hit a three-pointer after receiving a pass from Yi Jianlian, and then stole a pass from Spanoulis and shocked everyone with a fast-break dunk.

If European defenders are characterized by their height, the only one who can challenge them head-on is Sun Yue, who is also a tall defender.

The two teams were still locked in a tight fight until the very end.

At this time, it was like a relay race. It was Yi Jianlian's turn to step up for the Chinese team.

And I have to say that if you play basketball on a higher stage, your mentality will become very different, not to mention your ability.

Yi Jianlian really dared to play at critical moments, and he was really able to score, making him look like a Fiba killer.

And at the last moment, he scored 5 points in a row to help the Chinese team narrowly beat the Greek team 89-84 and win their first victory in the World Championships.

Looking at the Chinese team members celebrating wildly in the live broadcast, Sun Hao clenched his fists unconsciously.

It seems he was right not to play in the World Championships this time.

No matter what the final result is, Yi Jianlian's ability to take charge of his own affairs is not a loss.

then……

Another month later.

The curtain of the World Championships has come to an end, and the final championship belongs to the American team.

The American team won consecutively and won the World Championships with an undefeated record.

The new generation of American stars, led by Durant, also stole the show.

Durant, in particular, stands out among the rising stars.

Throughout the World Championships, he averaged 23 points per game, scored 30+ points in two consecutive games, scored 40 points, the highest score in a single game for the US team, and made history by beating his opponent by 55 points in the quarterfinals...

If the World Championships in Japan were just for the first time, and the Olympic Games in Beijing were considered to be emerging, then Durant really killed everyone in this World Championships.

Sun Hao also sent congratulations to Durant immediately.

According to this momentum, the U.S. team will most likely field its strongest lineup at the next London Olympics.

When James, Durant, Paul, and Wade are there, he will have a battle with his disciples.

Going back to the Chinese team, the Chinese team achieved a record of 4 wins and 1 loss in the group stage and lost to the Lithuanian team.

When they entered the knockout stage, they also won consecutively until they met the United States team in the semi-finals.

Durant's 40 points were scored against the Chinese team.

In the semi-finals, the Chinese team completed its revenge against the Lithuanian team and successfully won a bronze medal.

Yi Jianlian scored a large double-double of 31 points and 11 rebounds in this game, which also helped him enter the final best team.

Being able to win the bronze medal without dual cores may have something to do with the dimming of stars in this World Championships, but the Chinese team still proved its strength.

That is to say, after the World Championships, Paul Rich returned from China for inspection.

After returning, he also understood why Sun Hao focused on the company Anta.

At this time, most of the domestic sneakers were imitations, and the quality of the sneakers was indeed not very good.

But Anta has invested a lot of money to start its own R\u0026D laboratory at this time.

Although it is not even the number one sneaker brand in China now, the company is very benign and has great potential.

Even if Sun Hao joins, with his influence, he will introduce a large amount of funds to this company, and its development will go directly to the high speed.

I gave the report I saw to Sun Hao. Sun Hao was also very satisfied, and the signing of the contract was quickly put on the agenda.

About a few days later, Sun Hao returned to China to participate in a charity match, and the media soon broke the news that Sun Hao had signed a contract with Anta.

The news of this signing instantly detonated the basketball circle.

In today's NBA, no matter which country you are from, it's either Adidas or Nike, and other sneaker brands are basically on the sidelines.

The result is good now. Sun Hao, who is the number one player in the league, actually signed with a second-rate Chinese brand!

This is incomprehensible to most fans, especially American fans.

Who can have trouble with money?

But domestic fans are excited, Anta is about to take off!

Anta's public relations are also very fast. Sun Hao's new personal "Sun" series of signature sneakers and the production plan of the Warriors' special sneakers have already been released.

And in addition to these, their investment in research and development of sneakers has also been exposed, and it is expected that more research and development funds will be invested.

All in all, the atmosphere created by this is to create a sneaker brand that can compete with Adidas Nike.

This is a big deal.

In recent years, the country has developed rapidly, and the patriotism of the people has also been expanding, which is reflected in all walks of life.

Fans are also part of the nation. Now there is a company that has the momentum to compete with the world's major brands. How could they not support it?

Then, a lot of interesting things happened over there in the United States.

Because Sun Hao has never made any positive response to the signing, fans in the United States curiously started shopping for various ANTA sneakers.

In their eyes, this kind of "inferior imported shoes" should be of poor quality.

But after they actually got the sneakers, they were surprised to find that the quality of these sneakers was actually pretty good.

Although it is a little worse than Nike and Adidas shoes, the difference is limited, and the key is that the price is cheap!

Then something ridiculous happened.

There has been a wave of "Anta fever" among fans in the United States.

This is not entirely a whim, but has something to do with the national conditions of the United States.

Since the financial crisis, one thing that is easily overlooked is that the income of many people in the United States has dropped a lot, and the gap between rich and poor has become more obvious.

What many people know is that if there is an external blow, many people will become homeless.

It can also be understood that many people’s living standards are no longer that high.

At this time, things with high cost performance have become what they are passionate about.

This is also the reason why domestic products have been selling well in the United States in recent years, because there is a market!

And because of Sun Hao, many NBA players have joined this shoe shopping craze.

Some players who love to collect sneakers are already ready to buy Sun Hao's first Anta sneakers as soon as possible.

These are things that Rich Paul had never thought of before.

And after seeing this, Paul Fu suddenly felt that Sun Hao was very discerning.

Because anyone who knows a lot about sneakers knows that shoes are largely a matter of speculation.

As long as the quality of Anta's first sneakers can be qualitatively improved, with this wave of warm-up, it will be as popular as the original "Qiao Yi".

After the World Championships, coupled with this wave of speculation, fans suddenly discovered that the long grass period was almost over.

At this time, the reinforcements of each team are almost in progress, and training camps are starting one after another.

Fans who have been bored all summer are waiting for the start of the new season, and even more bored media people have finally started to have some topics to talk about.

It was at this time that TNT rushed out a strength list for the new season before ESPN.

In this list, the Warriors are first, the Bulls are second, and the Knicks, who have just formed the Big Three, are only placed in the third position.

Barkley also seriously gave the Knicks "three sins" to analyze the problems they will encounter in the new season.

The first sin: ball possession.

According to his words, when the team's top four scorers all need to attack with the ball, one ball is definitely not enough.

Even leaving Harden aside, none of Wade, James or Anthony is better off the ball than with the ball.

The second sin: status.

These three people used to be the absolute core leaders of their respective teams, and they were all the kind with high aspirations.

Now that the three of them are playing together, who is the team leader?

Especially James and Anthony, the two were competing against each other when they were drafted.

The third crime: Insider issues.

The small ball tactic was used by the Warriors and Bulls last season and shocked everyone, but in the final analysis it is not a very mature tactic and has yet to be developed.

And you can see that the Warriors are not in a hurry to trade Oden, as the Bulls traded Chandler and took Bosh.

Both teams are not weak inside.

But in the Knicks' lineup, basically no one in the interior is particularly reliable.

Do we really expect Dampier to dream back to his days with the Mavericks and become the so-called second center in the Western Conference?

Buckley's analysis hits the nail on the head.

And he didn't forget to brag about Sun Hao.

"Now you know why Sun said he didn't think LeBron did anything wrong, because such a team is no match for the Warriors."

This episode of TNT's program can be said to be full of highlights.

And in fact, such remarks are also a warm-up for the Yongni battle in the new season.

A few days later, the Warriors’ training camp officially started.

This is the Warriors’ roster.

Point guard: Curry, CJ Watson, Jeremy Lin, Jason Williams

Shooting Guard: Sun Hao, Tracy McGrady, Bell, Azubuike (injury)

Small forward: Durant, Danny Green, Zhu Fangyu

Power forward: Ibaka, Landry, Uncle Huo

Center: Oden, Hayes, Chris Anderson

This team has a full roster of 17 players, which means competition is inevitable.

Especially for a second-round pick like Jeremy Lin, this is hell.

In the training camp, Sun Hao also met Jeremy Lin for the first time.

Unlike when he entered the league, Jeremy Lin looks obviously thin.

However, his mental state seemed to be very good, especially when he saw Sun Hao who was a little excited and incoherent.

This is understandable.

Jeremy Lin belongs to a very special group in the United States: Asians.

The so-called Asians are those whose ancestors were Asian and came to the United States to make a living in order to escape the war.

Many of these people have established themselves in the United States with their hard-working hands and smart minds, and have become part of the American people as the times change.

But this group is actually very embarrassed, because although they are Americans, their status in the United States is very low because of their race, and they belong to a minority.

Putting aside everything else, just talking about basketball, Jeremy Lin is the first Asian to be selected by the NBA.

And let alone Sun Hao's league status, when he came to the Warriors and saw two players with the same skin color as him, he felt a very strong sense of security.

And after contacting him, Sun Hao discovered that Jeremy Lin has a very cheerful personality.

He and Yi Jianlian should reflect the personality differences of people with the same skin color who grew up in different countries.

And after getting in touch with him in the training camp, Sun Hao found that Jeremy Lin should be the hardest working one in the training camp.

He is the earliest to come and the last to leave every day.

Although, he does have trouble keeping up with the intensity of the Warriors' game.

But with this attitude, it's no wonder why he was able to play "Linsanity" in history.

What you think comes out of the blue is actually beyond imagination.

A month passed in the blink of an eye, and the Warriors completed training camp and preseason with a 17-man roster.

Just before the start of the season, the team completed its final layoffs.
