Chapter 315 Visiting the Li-Ning Store in the United States

Wang Fei is the captain of the Western Stars, so he said "I will try my best to lead my team to victory".

"So, what about yourself? Wang, have you thought about getting the All-Star MVP this year? After all, there are really not many superstars who get the All-Star MVP as a first-year rookie." The CNN reporter I asked a question.

Wang Fei nodded, continued to smile, and replied: "Of course, I am eager for victory and honor. I hope I can win the MVP of the All-Star Game and pay tribute to my predecessors!"

It is really rare for a superstar who can become an All-Star starter in his rookie season and win the All-Star MVP.

Elgin Baylor, the Lakers star, joined the NBA in 1958. He averaged 24.9 points, 15 rebounds, and 4.1 assists per game that year. He was successfully selected as the All-Star starter and won the MVP in the All-Star Game.

Next is Chamberlain Zhang Dashuai.

He joined the Philadelphia 1959ers in 76. He won the scoring champion, rebounding champion, and regular season MVP in his rookie season. After being selected as the All-Star starter, he won the All-Star MVP.

Other giants, such as Jordan, O'Neal and others, also entered the All-Star starters in their rookie season.

But the only ones who can win the All-Star MVP as a rookie are Elgin Baylor, Chamberlain and Oscar Robertson.

"Wang, you are this year's league All-Star vote winner, and for this reason, you were elected the captain of the Western Conference All-Star Team. Do you think other guys like LeBron, Durant, Curry, and Harden will Do you agree with me?" CNN reporter asked again.

Newcomers have no rights.

This is true everywhere.

Even if you are an awesome newcomer, it is not easy to convince those rebellious giants.

Wang Fei said with a smile: "I am very good friends with LeBron and Harden. I think I have a good relationship with Durant and Curry. They are all very good guys, and I admire them very much. Before I entered the NBA, they were my role models and objects of admiration! I think, I will be able to get along well with them! After all, we all love basketball.”

"You have now led the Rockets to a 42-game winning streak. This winning streak is simply amazing. You have become the most feared team in the NBA. Wang, do you think that the regular season has been winning like this? Is it a good thing, or a bad thing? Also, will you continue to win streak in the next games? Some people say that if the regular season goes too well, you will encounter all kinds of difficulties in the finals, and some people predict that, You will be weak in the finals like Chamberlain back then. What do you think?" CNN reporter asked again.

Wang Fei said with a smile: "No, no! I don't think we have been smooth in the regular season. In fact, we also played a lot of hard games! You know, this is the NBA, and everyone is the best in the world. Basketball players, when you stand out, there are always other people trying to prove that he is better than you. So, we also had a lot of hard fights. Of course, we were relatively smooth, and we all won in the end! I don’t think A winning streak is a bad thing. When you have the ability to win, winning is a matter of course! Whether you can continue to win depends on whether the opponent can cause trouble for us. The last question, if the regular season is too smooth, it will I don’t think so when I encountered all kinds of troubles in the finals! Miracles like Hei Ba have not happened a few times so far. If you want to win in the finals, you still have to rely on strength! I think our Rockets are strong enough , After we enter the finals, we will not be afraid of any opponent! As for whether I will be as weak as Chamberlain in the finals, and the data will drop sharply, what I want to say is: Let us wait and see! I don’t believe that the finals will be Caused me too much trouble."

"So, do you think the Rockets can win the championship this year?" CNN reporter asked.

"Yes! We should win the championship! We have the qualifications!" Wang Fei said.

"However, Durant said that the Warriors have a wealth of experience in the Finals, and they will kill your dream. What do you think? You know, the Warriors have won 3 championships! They have been very stable in the Finals !Most experts are not optimistic that you can break out of the West and go to the final championship battle." CNN reporter said.

Wang Fei smiled and shook his head: "We have double-killed the Warriors in the regular season! In the finals, we will climb the mountain of the Warriors! I firmly believe this! No one can stop me from winning the championship trophy!"

Wang Fei was interviewed by the media at the airport.

Then, he and Alyssa got into the car received by the host and went straight to the hotel where he was staying.

Because Alisa is not a contestant in the finals, nor is she a staff member, so her accommodation must be paid for by herself.

Wang Fei had to book another room in this hotel just for Alisa.

After dinner, Wang Fei and Alyssa took the organizer's special car to the Spectrum Center, home of the Charlotte Hornets.

Come to the square outside the Spectrum Center.

Wang Fei saw that the square was already full of people coming and going.

Tonight, the Spectrum Center will host the All-Star Weekend Celebrity Game, as well as a rookie challenge.

The All-Star Weekend Celebrity Game mainly invites celebrities from all over the world to participate, of course, mainly American celebrities.

Wang Fei glanced at the players in the Masters Tournament and found that he only knew a few of them.

Among them are Ray Allen and Bucks owner Mark Russlee.

This year's All-Star rookie game is divided into the world team and the US team.

As the name suggests, it's an international rookie against a local American rookie.

The main lineup of the international team mainly includes: Doncic, Ayton, Bogdanovic and others.

The US team is: Mitchell, Tatum, Collins, Kuzma and others.

If it weren't for Wang Fei's outstanding performance, he might have to participate in the Rookie Challenge.

Just like Dongcic, Dongcic originally received very high votes, ranking fourth in the West.Of course it's a fan vote.

But after comprehensive analysis, Doncic will not be able to participate in the All-Star Game.

He can only participate in the rookie game.

Nothing happened to Wang Fei today, and he was also relaxed.

"Wang, there's still some time before the game starts, why don't we just walk around in the square." Alyssa said to Wang Fei with a smile.

It's just past 6pm now.

And tonight's game will not start until around 7:[-].

So, there's just over an hour left.

Wang Fei smiled and agreed.

In order to avoid being surrounded by crazy fans, Wang Fei deliberately put on a peaked cap and a pair of flat and slightly brown glasses.

The other is to raise the collar of the windbreaker high.

In this way, people who are not particularly familiar with him will basically not recognize Wang Feilai.

After getting out of the car, the two wandered in the shops outside the square.

The All-Star Weekend still attracts quite a few people.

Many fans from all over the world gather here just to see their favorite stars. If they can get an autograph and take a photo together, it will be a surprise.

Wang Fei understands the psychology of these groupies.

After all, not long ago, when he was an ordinary student, he also fanatically liked many NBA superstars.

The square was bustling with people coming and going.

Fortunately, no one recognized Wang Fei.

"Look, Wang, there is a Li-Ning store here." Alisa exclaimed excitedly.

Wang Fei was quite surprised.

Unexpectedly, the Chinese brand Li Ning's specialty store has opened in a small city like Charlotte.

Charlotte is such a small city.

It has a population of just over 70 and ranks only 18th in the United States.

The international popularity is also very low.

"Let's go and take a look!" Wang Fei said.

I am the signed spokesperson of Li Ning, so I have to see how the products I endorse are selling in the United States.

Wang Fei and Alyssa walked towards the Li-Ning store.

When he came to the door, he saw a huge poster of himself pasted in the window of the store.

On the poster, Wang Fei is jumping high, dunking in a very stretched posture.

There is a pop at the door of the store, which reads: A new batch of Feiyi No. 1 signature shoes has arrived!Available all-star weekend for only $500 a pair!

There is a steady stream of people coming in and out of the store.

"Wang, your signature shoes are selling so high!" Alisa exclaimed.

"Shh!"

Wang Fei hurriedly told her to keep her voice down.

Do not identify yourself to others.

In that case, I can't go shopping easily if I want to.

"Hee hee! I can't help myself." Alisa stuck out her tongue.

The two of them walked into the store.

Wang Fei glanced at it. The business area of ​​this Li Ning store is about [-] to [-] square meters.

The most prominent place in the store is his signature sneakers.

There are quite a few people choosing there.

Wang Fei approached to have a look.

He saw that his signature shoe Flying Wing No. 1 has already formed a series.

There is a regular version for just $150.

There are also limited edition autographed boots, a pair of which cost $2000.

In addition, the practical model signature sneakers that Wang Fei himself is wearing are priced at $500.

This price is really not ordinary high!

It is an ordinary money, and if calculated according to the tax rate, it is almost 1000 yuan Huaxia currency.

And if the most expensive autographed boots are converted into Huaxia currency, it is already tens of thousands of dollars.

Wang Feixin said that the price is almost the same as Jordan's limited edition signature shoes.

It seems that this basketball star chasing is really expensive!
Wang Fei also loved James fanatically back then, but he was quite rational, and he was never willing to buy James' signature shoes.

Because he felt it would bankrupt him financially.

Such expensive shoes are still selling very well. From time to time, some people go to the checkout with limited edition boots that cost up to 2 US dollars.

Several pairs of limited edition sneakers originally placed on the shelves were sold out in just a few minutes.
