Soul of the Golden State

Chapter 299 Protective Equipment
What Antoine sent was actually the two sports protective gear requested by Frank and Li Weisi, namely braces and elbow pads.

Braces, needless to say, a shooter does not wear braces, how do you let the fans spray you?

Spray you shaking your head?Or spray you dancing?
It's better to spray you as unhygienic for throwing braces, and it's more lethal if you take too much braces and drool, which is unhygienic.

In fact, sports mouthguards, also known as braces, are mainly for the protection of athletes' teeth and tongues. Tissues such as teeth and cheeks are protective devices with power transmission and redistribution functions.

In fact, the invention of sports mouthguards has been around for some years, probably in the 60s and [-]s.

But at this time, it is more used in the boxing ring. Now Frank introduced it to the basketball court, which is a very good move. Li Weisi, who cherishes his body, absolutely agrees with this.

Of course, it is conceivable that there will definitely be many people who object, including Jordan. Don't even think about it, the guy who always sticks his tongue out when he plays, would like to wear braces?
Li Weisi's mouthguard is custom-made, according to the different needs of many professional doctors, and then customize Li Weisi's teeth and facial shape, so as to minimize the damage to the mouth and face.

Of course, when Frank got the braces out, he definitely wouldn't just use them for Li Weisi alone, and naturally they would sell them.

He has already established a company with Antoine and Li Weisi, and plans to combine the brand "Professor Li" and launch NBA professional protective equipment with Nike. The market here is definitely not small.

Ordinary people certainly cannot use custom-made mouthguards like Li Weisi, so the method given by Frank is to heat the occlusal mouthguard, that is, the shape of the mouthguard can be changed by heating the mouthguard in water, and then the heated plastic The upper bite makes it suitable for different people to wear.

I have to say that this is a genius idea, but unfortunately, it has now belonged to Frank.

Another important invention is the arm guard.

Regarding the arm guard, it is different from the elbow guard and wrist guard. It has three main functions: to fix the shooting posture; to compress the muscles, resist fatigue, and reduce the risk of injury; and to quickly wick sweat and reduce the body temperature.

Although the armguard is just a simple piece of fabric, it is a problem in many aspects such as the thickness, weight, weave, fabric composition, elastic yarn ratio, cutting method, etc., which requires a lot of experiments to find the best fabric. good data.

The material ratio of West’s armguard is basically 88% nylon and 12% spandex, of which nylon is the main material and spandex is elastic yarn.

Using nylon as the main material naturally has many advantages, such as softer, better touch, faster drying, faster perspiration, etc. Of course, there are also disadvantages. Compared with polyester as the main material, the cost is nearly twice as expensive.

Of course, does Frank care about the money?

For these two protective gears, after Li Weisi used them, he felt quite satisfied after getting rid of the discomfort when he just used them. In his opinion, the discomfort only needs to be overcome once. Protecting the body is a matter of a lifetime.

So in the game against the Spurs on the 28th, Li Weisi took these two protective gear on the field for the first time.

Compared with the hidden braces, this black arm guard with blue stripes and the logo of "Professor Li" on it is quite cool, and it has attracted countless people's attention.

Because John Dawkins was familiar with Li Weisi, he took the initiative to run over while warming up and asked, "Hi, West, what are you? It's cool!"

"Thank you, this is an arm guard, which is used to quickly sweat and fix muscles." Li Weisi explained patiently.

"It looks great, can I touch it?" Dawkins is also a person who knows the goods. Looking at the shiny black armguard, Dawkins can feel that the touch of this thing should be better than a bunch of furry Wristbands are much better.

"Give it!" Li Weisi didn't refuse, and stretched out his right arm directly.

Dawkins gently rubbed Li Weisi's armguard with his hand, and suddenly a feeling of electric shock surged into Dawkins' heart.

Oops, it's a heart-wrenching feeling!
"Where is this thing for sale?"

"It's not on sale yet, it's just in the experimental stage, and it may be next year when it goes on the market."

"Hey, it's a pity." Dawkins looked at the armguard with some reluctance.

However, facing Dawkins' pitiful gaze, Li Weisi chose to ignore it, and had no intention of giving him a set at all.

Nonsense, I only have a few sets in total, and I don't even have my own teammates, so how can I give it to Dawkins!

After the warm-up is over, the game officially begins.

This season, Dawkins has successfully secured the position of the Spurs' starting point guard. Of course, for him, this game does not seem to be friendly to him, because it means that he has to remember that once again in the NCAA Finals. , the fear of being dominated by Li Weisi.

With the new equipment, Li Weisi played very happily tonight. Logically speaking, Dawkins' defense is not bad, but when facing Li Weisi, he still cannot escape the fate of being blown up.

Although the Spurs boss Elvin Robertson has strong defensive strength, the team's offense also needs him. Therefore, he did not defend Li Weisi from the beginning.

But as the point difference in the first quarter widened, Robertson had no choice but to stand up and be a father and mother to lead the team and continue to fight the Warriors.

However, Li Weisi was in a particularly good state tonight. Even Robertson couldn't limit Li Weisi, and it was even difficult to reduce his hit rate.

The Warriors beat the Spurs 35:22 in the first quarter. Li Weisi scored 20 points and 3 assists in a single quarter. His scoring alone almost caught up with the Spurs' scoring.

Seeing that Li Weisi was in good condition, Nelson simply let him play the entire first quarter, and did not come back after a timeout until there were more than 6 minutes and 20 seconds left in the second quarter.

Li Weisi, who came back, was a little quiet in the second quarter. Of course, that was only compared to the first quarter. In fact, he still scored 8 points.

Warriors 62:47 at halftime, Warriors lead by 15 points.

In the third quarter, the Spurs originally wanted to play another wave of counterattacks to chase points. Unexpectedly, Li Weisi continued the touch of the first half, scoring 13 points in a single quarter, and completely opened the point difference to more than 20 points.

Now the Spurs had no power to fight back. In the first half of the fourth quarter, seeing that there was no hope of chasing points, they put on the bench and announced their surrender.

At the end of the game, the Warriors beat the Spurs 126:105 away.

Li Weisi scored 41 points and 8 assists in the three quarters, completely comparing with Dawkins who was facing him. The latter scored 6 points and 8 assists in this game, making Dawkins once again reduced to the background board.
