The god who strikes iron is here

Chapter 202 This Year's "Green Leaf" Is A Little Strong
The pre-game training camp is over.

Rick Pitino is very satisfied, because the effect is much better than he expected.

He even felt that he didn't need to work hard, and this team was already filled with the perfect soil for his own tactical system.

Now he has only one idea, to quickly start the actual combat, and then test and test various playing styles and collocations in the actual combat.

What's very interesting is that Zheng Tie was named by a group of newcomers.

The No. [-] pick Tim Duncan said in an interview that the rookie he is most looking forward to playing against is Zheng Tie.

In a simple sentence, "Brother Alun" who had a party in a mansion in Philadelphia threw a water glass angrily again.

This smashed water glass seems to still carry Iverson's roar at Duncan——

We are all born as champions, why should the champions embarrass the champions?
Don't you know how to brag about business with me?
Damn it, if I bump into you, I will blow you up!

Iverson made this "grand plan" in his heart. He doesn't care much about current affairs, but he doesn't know how fierce Duncan is.I thought I was just a rookie, but Duncan fucked me up the first time I met him in the previous life.

Not only did he lose by a big score, but even his best scoring was completely blown away by Deng Dumbly.

Iverson had 19 points, 4 rebounds and 4 assists, shooting 40.9% from the field.

邓呆呆27分17个篮板3次助攻8，8次盖帽，命中率接近6成。

So, take a look, this data was created by a rookie?
No matter how you look at it, it seems to be possessed by an ancient monster.

Duncan: I heard that you were the last champion?You want me?

Iverson: ...you MMP!

What does it mean to be at your peak when you debut? In addition to sarcastically saying that you are the strongest when you debut, and then sorry for the rookies who expect to decline year by year, there is another way to describe truly powerful and invincible rookies like Duncan and Jordan.

Do you think Robinson exaggerated when he said Duncan was at MVP level?Who knows how secretly Robinson was horrified by Duncan's performance.

But now that they haven't played, everyone feels that Robinson is trying to build momentum for his little brother.

So, now you understand why Auerbach wanted Deng to be dumbfounded so much, he thought this was the second coming of Bill Russell.

Iverson wants to teach Duncan a lesson?To be honest, he will have a very profound "lesson" soon.

He is a genius, but he is a monster.

In addition to Duncan, Boston's McGrady also said in a media interview——

The person I most want to play is No. 7 Zheng Tie of the Clippers.

This is good, even the premise of a rookie is gone, how can you let the old rogue, the overlord of the alliance, feel so bad.

Didn't I just beat you once in the ABCD training camp? You are too vindictive.

If you hold grudges too much, be careful that your waist is not good.

Maddie: ...

At the same time, Zheng Tie also listed his own sneakers and the sneakers of members of the "A Tie Guard" in the United States.

As a sports enthusiast, it is easy to design a few super-era sneakers.

Anyway, I copied your Hook and Adi's ideas, what's wrong, you bite me.

Once launched, it immediately exploded across the United States.

Zheng Tie even took great care of the girls and launched a girls' version of his sneakers, adding some colors and reducing the uppers. Suddenly, girls started wearing Zheng Tie's sneakers and started showing off in various ways.

Why show off?

Isn't it just a word, expensive.

Anyway, the news is very closed now, and the domestic and foreign prices are not a problem at all.

The last life was in 2021, not everyone did this, and now there is nothing wrong with it.

Pricing a word, it must be noble.

Anyway, we are the only ones who are designing such trendy and advanced sneakers. Do you want to buy them or not?

You like to buy or not.

And we have to take the concept of "hunger marketing", which is not very popular now.

At first, the people of the United States really didn't want to buy it, and the main buyers were Zheng Tie fans.

But as soon as these people bought it, it spread immediately, because it was mainly "advanced", "novel" and "good-looking".

In the hands, the actual product is more "trendy" than the advertisement.

Basketball shoes, if you really only sell them to basketball players, how much profit can you make?
I don't really think that the high income of Jordan shoes every year is sold to people who play basketball.

In fact, people who don't play basketball are the main force.

For those who don't play basketball, it's good to know that Jordan is a basketball player, especially girls, if they can know what Jordan's number is, they are already "old fans".So, how do you make your sneakers marketable?
It is definitely not enough to sell steel straight men who play basketball. It is king if it is popularized.

especially--

girl.

This is the biggest potential force that almost no sports sneaker brand could capture in the 90s.

So Zheng Tie also asked people to find a special model to wear his own women's shoes in various colors and colors according to the trend.

In the advertisement, the modules that both men and women appear are taken away, which is an idea that has never been seen in these years.

The straight guy saw it, I'm going to have a girl, huh?The girl I like wants it too?Get a pair now.

When the girl saw the various outfits of the models above, she was also very excited. How could it be like this?

My old lady wants to keep up with the times and be a trendsetter of the times.

Even Zheng Tie was publicly named and praised by international feminist organizations because of this advertisement and sneakers, saying that Zheng Tie is a real friend of the international feminist movement and a man who really supports women's rights with practical actions.

Atie: Uh...

Anyway, inexplicably, over and over again, this generation of Atie, under various circumstances, actually opened up the market in the United States. It was so fast that even Gouzi and Adidas, who had previously ridiculed it, were confused. .

And when they reacted, Zheng Tie had already seized a lot of the market, especially on the girl side, you still don't have the generation of Ah Tie?
Then you are so unmodern, and you are not worthy of joining our group of modern sisters.

This operation, really, was something that Zheng Tie had never thought of before. He originally just wanted to open a hole in the United States and that was enough.But the current situation is a little "out of control".

It has already exceeded his expectations.

Although it is a slap in the face, Midi is a typical country with only success theory. Since it is successful, reading comprehension will follow.

After all, according to this trend, Zheng Tie's sneaker sales may suddenly rise in the United States and become one of the new giants.

Because of the signing of Jordan that year, Nike's sales soared from 9 million US dollars to 97 billion US dollars before the start of the 98-92 season, and it will be close to 400 billion US dollars in revenue in the future.Therefore, in the field of sports brands, explosive models and one-year trends are likely to explode in one year.

And this series of "chain operations" was not premeditated by Zheng Tie, but it was understood by interested people at the enterprise level. , it is possible... the author of the article may not have thought so much.

Nash Jr. is a typical example. Seeing that the "A Tie generation" is having a big explosion in the United States, he immediately expressed 1 to hold tight to Zheng Tie's "iron thigh" in his heart.

18 years old, this is only 18 years old, who knows how much money he has?
No wonder he signed a 6-year 1.3 million super contract, and he didn't have any special expressions.

Introduction, is it the genius pattern of business geniuses?
What kind of brain is it to associate sports shoes with girls' fashion.

I can't compare it, I still hold my thighs in the future.

Thinking of this, Nash Jr. really felt that although he was a company that signed Ah Tie for a million dollars a year, he was not losing money at all.Because his contract will definitely increase significantly in the future.

Just because Ah Tie adheres to the "brother basketball" way on the court, then he must be more generous when facing "brothers" in terms of these vulgar things.

Zheng Tie: ...

Well, Xiao Na, then your reading comprehension is passable, I am really not as good as you think.

Similarly, Jobs, the big crocodile of cable, said that Zheng Tie is a talent, with vicious vision, business operations, and even the word genius can't cover him.Ballmer even specially held a small team meeting, and then personally called Zheng Tie to invite him to come out again for the "One-to-One Dinner for Rich People" project.

I can't help but Ballmer is not surprised. How long has it been? Damn, people are going to go to heaven from 1 million US dollars, okay?

All banks, as long as Zheng Tie's company wants to borrow money, they will be able to meet their needs. This is called rich people who are easy to borrow money.

Long Wen is the one who can't wait to move the entire bank to Zheng Tie.

Even Ballmer muttered silently in his heart:

This little guy won't surpass himself in a few years, right?This is impossible, right?How old is he?

Zheng Tie:

Old man Bao, you are too unsure. Be more confident and I will ask you to get a loan from me next year.

Ballmer:  …

……

After training camp, it’s preseason.

The eight preseason games were all training in nature. Rick Pitino faced the Pacers in his first game as the Clippers.Zheng Tie, who was wearing the "A-Tie Generation", was fighting with Reggie Miller, the top scorer in the 90s, on the opposite side.

The two made three-pointers back and forth, and the fans in the audience were about to revel in points G and H. Then, the head coaches on both sides pressed them down.

No way, let you play like this in the preseason, how can you deal with the tactics and lineup in the future?
If you have any problems, please solve them after the regular season officially starts.

When Miller left the field, he said to Zheng Tie's new shoes, "The sneakers are cool."

Zheng Tie responded: "I like to give you ten pairs."

Miller is also miserable. As one of the more influential stars in the 90s, there are not a few particularly famous commercial endorsements, and sneaker manufacturers don't care too much.This made Miller express his envy when he saw that Zheng Tie had released his exclusive signature shoes in the second grade.

If he knew that this so-called sneaker company belonged to Zheng Tie himself, I don't know what expression he would have.

After the two agreed to have a good fight after the start of the regular season, this game became a "guinea pig testing ground" for the coaches of both sides.

Because Bird did not join the Pacers as he did in the previous life, the head coach of the Pacers is still Larry Brown.

Rick Pitino coached the NBA for the first time in this game, so it was still a bit short of heat. There are still differences between the NCAA and the NBA, and Larry Brown is also an experienced coach. In the end, the Pacers 90 -81 for the win.

But it was just the preseason. Rick Pitino didn't take it seriously. He felt that he had learned a lot from this game and let him lead the team to win the next game against the Nuggets.

On Zheng Tie's side, even with limited time, Rick Pitino gave him hints more than once——

Zheng, you need to make more shots, but you are still a little too conservative in your shots.

Zheng Tie: ...

Well, the coach I know, I will work harder in the future, no, it is firing.

Later, the Clippers actually had a wave of consecutive victories in the preseason, and they didn't lose until the last game. It was because Pitino played too wildly, and the tactical experiment reached the atmosphere, so they lost the game.

A wave of 6 wins and 2 losses was achieved in the preseason. To be honest, some fans of the Clippers, or directly Zheng Tie’s fans, said——

Well, this new head coach seems to be a pretty good Yazi.

The champion coach who led the team in the NCAA two-year finals?This should barely be able to coach our great dunk three-pointer Ah Tie.

Look, the fan's mind is so simple, Zheng Tie will feel embarrassed.

After playing the preseason game, Rick Pitino also had a certain amount of confidence in himself. After he finished the last preseason game, he said that the Clippers are definitely not going to the lottery this season.He wants to lead the Los Angeles Clippers to create the same glory as he did in Kentucky.

This, coach, take it easy, this is the NBA, and the current ruler is the stingy cheapskate No. 23 of the Bulls.

You want to replicate the glory in Kentucky, and that's not to say—

Want to fight the Bulls, or even go straight to others?

Sure enough, Michael Jordan, the biggest player philanthropist in the NBA in this era, has spoken. He is looking forward to the game with the Los Angeles Clippers.At the same time, he cordially wishes NCAA coach Rick Pitino that everything is well.

Zheng Tie: ...

Coach, can't we develop insignificantly?Do you have to be so manic from the start?

Rick Pitino said, this is you, Zheng, you are the Michael Jordan in my heart.

Zheng Tie: ...

At the same time, the media's season rankings were also released.

Now the official authority of NBC, ESPN has to step aside in basketball.

Zheng Tie and his friends took a look, first, um, the Chicago Bulls, the old hooligan just won the fifth championship, when will you not brag about him?nothing wrong.

The Jazz conquered the outside world through last year's playoff performance and ranked second.

Then the Lakers, Supersonics, Miami, Mosaic, and Knicks rank in the second group.

Then, the Spurs, which won Deng Dadai, ranked as the leader of the third group. This position is——

It is considered that it does not have the ability to win the championship, but it is a strong team among the playoff teams.

As for the latter, it is those teams that basically cannot make the playoffs.

The Los Angeles Clippers took a look and were ranked 25th. Nima, there are now 29 teams in total. 25 is the fourth from the bottom?

You really look down on my Ah Tie's ability to lead the team.

Well, although I did not lead the team into the playoffs last year, 20+ wins is nothing worthy of praise.

Can……

This is not the reason why you ranked us fourth from the bottom.

Then when I asked the seniors of the Clippers, I found out that this was the highest ranking the Clippers had in recent years.

Oops.

That means, for my sake, I gave it the highest ranking in recent years.

Should I thank you for this, or should I be mean to you?

Zheng Tie looked at the detailed evaluation again——

The Clippers are a long-term green leaf team. Although Zheng's joining last year was surprising, it is still an individual team. The offense likes to play fast, has no rules, is not suitable for positional warfare, and the defense is also terrible.

The season prediction is still one of the lottery teams, maybe there will be more wins because of the growth of rookies, but the playoffs are still a difficult threshold.

In team history, being able to enter the playoffs is a big bad team that wins, and the Los Angeles Clippers are definitely number one.

Under such circumstances, Zheng Tie felt that it would be impossible for him not to play better this season.

Anyway, the green leaf camp, or the bottom green leaf camp, you all helped us choose, didn't you?
We just need to be good "green leaves".

So before the official start of the regular season, Zheng Tie said in an interview——

This year's "Green Leaf" is a bit strong, and it has a good mouth if it needs to be a foil.
