This striker is not serious

Chapter 99 Spokesperson of conscience!

Following Lin Ying's three-pointer, domestic fans went into overdrive.

Because Lin Ying got his 10th point tonight!

The NBA debut record for Chinese players just set by Yi Jianlian yesterday only lasted for one day before it was broken by Lin Ying!

Moreover, the game is not over yet!

However, the more domestic fans get excited, the more disappointed Lakers fans become.

If only Kupchak had tried harder!

On the court, the Lakers began to run into trouble.

Because both Lin Ying and Smith can pass the ball, it will be twice as difficult for them to defend two people at the same time.

Especially Lin Ying, he not only knows how to pass Smith.

Kleiza patted his stomach and burped after eating the two flying pancakes he fed!

Four and a half minutes into the fourth quarter, the score on the field was 108 to 98.

The Nuggets lead the Lakers by 10 points!

It was during this period that the two sides began to replace all their main forces for the final decisive battle.

Lin Ying also made his NBA debut.

When he came off the court, not only the Chinese fans present, but also many Lakers fans applauded him.

People who perform well can win the respect of their opponents.

He played 18.5 minutes tonight and contributed 12 points, 6 rebounds, 5 assists, 2 steals, 1 block, 1 turnover and 2 fouls. He made 5 of 7 shots and 2 of 3 three-pointers. His performance was perfect!

The only regret is that he didn't get a free throw opportunity, otherwise the score could have gone further.

However, compared to the lottery picks who have completed the game, he is already good enough.

Noah made 1 of 6, 3 points, 5 rebounds and 5 fouls in 15 minutes; Brewer made 1 of 4, 2 points, 4 rebounds and 2 fouls in 14 minutes; Al Thornton made 2 of 6, 5 points, 3 rebounds and 2 fouls in 18 minutes; Yi Jianlian

9 points, 3 rebounds and 6 fouls.

The remaining Julian Wright, Thaddeus Young, Conley, and Brandon Wright have no chance to play!

Durant?

The Sonics haven't even played their first game yet!

The game is not over yet, Lin Ying can only sit on the bench and watch the game.

This feeling cannot be said to be similar to when I first entered the league when I played 2K, I can only say it is exactly the same.

The only difference is that you can't fast forward to the end.

The last quarter of the game was duller than expected.

Kobe's hand didn't feel very good in the last quarter, and I don't know if it was because of too much physical exertion, and he was a little unable to rush.

Facts have proved that even for Kobe, it is difficult to play an entire game on offense and defense in the NBA.

Of course, the most terrible thing is that no one can stand up and help Kobe take off the pressure at this time.

Odom is the icing on the cake, but not enough to help.

In the end, the Nuggets relied on their outstanding performance in the fourth quarter to beat the Lakers 125-111 to get a good start.

In terms of statistics, the Nuggets: Iverson scored a team-high 35 points and 12 assists on 12-of-19 shooting, Anthony scored 23 points, 6 rebounds and 3 assists on 9-of-30 shooting, Martin had 18 points and 7 rebounds, and Nene had 8 points and 12 rebounds.

, JR Smith had 18 points and 3 assists, Lin Ying had 12 points and 6 rebounds, Kleiza had 5 points and 3 rebounds, and Najera had 3 points and 7 rebounds.

Lakers: Kobe Bryant made 12 of 32 shots and scored a game-high 47 points, 8 rebounds, 4 assists and 5 turnovers, Odom had 15 points, 7 rebounds and 7 assists, Farmar had 12 points and 3 assists, and Radmanovic had 11 points.

After the game, Lin Ying returned to the locker room with his teammates.

Just after taking a shower, O'Connor came over to call him. It turned out that it was Karl who was preparing to take him to the press conference.

This wave is pampering!

Although Lin Ying performed well, it was difficult for him to get his turn in a normal round.

Anthony probably didn't want to go, so there were only Iverson and Lin Ying.

Lin Ying quickly changed clothes, took out the spare sneakers from the closet, and then set off with Iverson.

Iverson put on a hat, a big gold chain, and a watch on his hand.

Lin Ying almost blurted out when he saw it.

Big gold chain small watch, Mixue Bingcheng is the best...

"Your sneakers are imported?"

"ah?"

After leaving the locker room, Iverson couldn't help but ask Lin Ying.

Lin Ying didn't react for a moment.

"Your sneakers."

Iverson repeated it again.

He has seen many brands of sneakers, including Peak from China.

But he had never seen what Lin Ying was wearing on her feet.

Only then did Lin Ying realize.

His signing with Anta caused a sensation in China, but there were almost no reports in the United States.

It's very simple. The Nike Alliance reports that Adidas and Reebok have no choice but not to give you the opportunity for other shoes to enter the market.

"Yes, from China."

Lin Ying replied with a smile.

Chinese products are just imported to Americans, right?

“Good mark.”

Iverson gave one final comment.

"Thanks."

The mark is actually quite important.

If you don’t believe me, just take off the Mercedes-Benz and Buick and change them, and you will find that it’s not the car that looks good, but the logo.

When we arrived at the press conference, Karl was already sitting there.

Post-game interviews in the NBA are more diverse than those in the NCAA.

For example, when Lin Ying was taking a shower, some reporters who were close to the team went to the locker room to interview him.

The only difference is that you cannot bring video equipment in, but you can take photos at the press conference now.

As soon as the press conference began, Iverson became the focus of reporters' questions.

Iverson was the league's scoring leader before joining the Nuggets, averaging 31.2 points per game, but he only had 24.8 points with the Nuggets last season.

Although scoring has a lot to do with shot rights, it can be seen that Iverson is still getting into shape.

But at the beginning of the new season, he scored 35 points, and his shooting percentage was far worse than Allen Iverson.

The fans were naturally surprised.

For example: Have you trained normally?

Ever since the "training meme" came out, Iverson has been asked this question almost every night.

So much so that one time when a friend passed away, there was a famous scene where he talked about training more than 20 times after the game.

But winning and performing well, he naturally answered with a smile.

"Yes, I also practiced extra with Lin."

Let’s play tricks together!

And this is not the first time he has played.

Iverson's questions were almost in progress, and then it was finally Lin Ying's turn.

The steal against Kobe was the focus of questions.

"I was lucky. Kobe's physical fitness declined at that time, and the defensive pressure from JR was also strong enough."

Lin Ying still behaved relatively modestly.

There is no harm in being low-key as a rookie, but being high-profile can easily make you the target of public criticism.

This also satisfies the reporter.

Because the Lakers had just finished their post-game interview before this, Kobe also praised Lin Ying's performance.

In addition to this, the reporter asked some other questions one after another, such as the performance of his combination with Smith, the improvement of his ball-handling skills, etc.

But in general, because his playing time is limited, there are not many things he can ask.

Moreover, press conferences are held every day in the NBA, and most of the questions asked by reporters are relatively formulaic.

This is also why players sometimes bring their children to the scene, which is really boring.

At the end, a reporter from TNT asked an interesting question.

"I saw that you signed an endorsement contract with a brand called 'Anta', but why did you wear Tma-3 during the game?"

Finally a reporter asked this!

Lin Ying was very happy when he heard this.

When he signed a contract with Anta before, Anta said he would be allowed to wear any other shoes before it designed quality shoes for him.

Then what shoes to wear becomes a question worth studying.

Because no matter whose clothes you wear, you are advertising your competitors!

And if you wear it too much, it will give people the illusion that you are endorsing other brands.

So how to find a way to attract the outside world's attention to Anta is what he, the spokesperson, must think about.

After all, Anta had staked so much for him, so it would be unkind of him not to take the initiative to do something.

After thinking about it, the only person who can be used is the reporter.

So he chose a pair of the hottest sneakers at the moment, Tma-3.

Why is it said to be the most slutty?

Because this is a pair of mandarin duck shoes, the left foot is red and the right foot is red, so it is difficult not to attract people's attention.

Reporters' attention will be attracted by his shoes, and naturally some reporters will check whether he has signed a contract with Adidas.

If you check it out first, and then check Anta again, can your little head still be filled with little questions?

Originally, Lin Ying thought of showing off his Anta shoes when reporters in the locker room asked, but he didn't expect that Karl would pull him to the press conference in the first game.

This wave of assists came at the right time.

Then, he took off his Anta shoes and put them in front of his eyes.

Since these are new shoes, the smell is non-existent.

This move of his was a bit arrogant, and the spotlight suddenly flashed in the audience.

After posing for the photo, Lin Ying put his shoes back on and began to answer questions.

"My sneaker sponsor is called 'Anta'. It is a listed sneaker brand from China with a market value of more than 1.5 billion US dollars..."

Then, the scene became a press conference for Anta to officially enter the NBA.

The reporters below were stunned, and even the reporter who asked the question felt like he had been fooled.

But you can't stop players from talking!

This wave of compulsory Amway was not known to the reporters.

In fact, not to mention the reporters, Karl and Iverson were both stunned for a moment.

After Amway was finished, Lin Ying briefly explained why he didn't wear ANTA shoes.

"Anta is going to design a unique signature sneaker for me, but other shoes don't fit my foot shape."

Well, it’s as simple as that. Translation is: It’s not that I don’t wear Anta shoes, it’s that there are better shoes waiting for me.

As for why there is no need to choose Tracy McGrady 3, because the purpose of wearing shoes this time has been achieved, and he may change to other shoes in the end.

After coming out of the press conference, Iverson couldn't help but take another look at his shoes.

"You are the most conscientious spokesperson I have ever seen, and you are very brave."

Iverson finally expressed emotion.

He is not stupid. After Lin Ying started forcing Amway, he could probably guess what Lin Ying wanted to do.

But that does require a lot of courage.

Not everyone is Michael Jordan and can make a small sneaker brand big.

"Thanks."

Lin Ying thanked her every day and didn't say much.

People will face many choices in this life, and they need to consider a lot when making choices.

But no matter what the reason is, after making a decision, what you need to do is to work hard to prove that the choice you made is the right one.

Otherwise, there is only one result waiting for you: you become a loser, and then regret that it would have been better if you had chosen another one.

Lin Ying originally chose Anta because the conditions offered by Anta were generous enough and met the dividends he had expected from the beginning.

So what he has to do now is to prove that his choice is right.

And speaking of it, he and Anta are in the same situation.

As a Chinese without a system, he must work twice as hard to gain a foothold in the NBA.

As a newly launched domestic sneaker brand, Anta also needs to work hard to gain a foothold in the global market.

Even he and Jordan were in similar situations back then.

The NBA was not a Nike alliance from the beginning. When Nike entered the NBA, the NBA’s number one sponsor was Adidas.

Even Nike, with a market value of only US$25 million at that time, was not Adidas’ main competitor.

And let’s not talk about sneaker technology. Small companies like that don’t have the money to research and develop, and the technology is not much better.

But at that time, they dared to offer Jordan 2.5 million for five years, plus a 66% profit share for independent brands and an investment of 5% shares.

Although Anta's current market value is close to US$1.5 billion, the seven-year endorsement contract of US$42 million is not a small sum, and there is also a 50% profit dividend for independent brands.

Just like Nike back then, Anta was completely betting.

But Jordan dared to choose in the end. What didn't he dare to do?

Therefore, he is confident that as long as he can gain a foothold in the NBA, he can create a Chinese version of "Nike Legend" in the area of ​​sneakers.

The Nuggets got off to a good start, and the reaction on American social media was average.

After all, even though they are so star-studded, everyone knows that the Lakers with only Kobe Bryant are actually not that good.

But the fans here in China were very excited.

Not only did he break the debut record for Chinese players, he also stole the ball from Kobe Bryant!

At this stage, Kobe is a god-like figure in the eyes of domestic fans.

However, Lin Ying intercepted God!

This feeling is the same as what Bird said back then:

God wore No. 23 tonight, but we beat him.

Isn't this exciting?

Coupled with Lin Ying's post-game interview and the display of Anta shoes, it made the blood in their bones surge a little.

Many of them questioned Lin Ying's choice before, but that was more because they didn't know many details.

Now Lin Ying was wearing other people's shoes to promote his own shoes. This act of saucy moved them inexplicably.

Moreover, the country has been rising in recent years, and national pride is also rising.

It’s exciting to think about selling Anta shoes to the United States and letting them all wear “imported goods”!

So naturally, there is a wave of "Anta fever" in China.

At this time, nothing can support Lin Ying better than buying a pair of Anta shoes.

And don’t forget, Lin Ying and his team broke the circle in the Asian Championships before!

His market value is more obvious at this time.

This wave also greatly increased the confidence of Anta's senior management.

Although it is still far from success, Lin Ying's approach of proactively promoting shoes and being the ultimate conscientious spokesperson makes them feel that they have made the right bet!

Anta's senior management held an emergency meeting that night, with only one content:

Pay close attention to the acquisition of the operating rights of Fila in China and the development of Lin Ying’s sneakers!

ps: Does anyone know Anta? Ask them to pay me advertising fees.
