Chapter 93 Curry's Joining

Chapter 1 Curry's Joining

"Bruce, your progress is really amazing. It's been a long time since I saw a young guard like you who is always sober and enterprising. If you can persevere, you will definitely have a place in the future league!" After the game at the Pepsi Center, Chauncey Billups took the initiative to find Li Shihao and said with a smile.

Billups is also a signed player of Adidas. The curse of Adidas sneakers is not generally strong. McGrady was injured, and Arenas also suffered from injuries in the past two years. The top ruler of the German sports industry chain, in basketball shoes The influence is really getting weaker and weaker.

Nowadays, there is a saying circulating in the circle of young American college players. The "Adidas sneaker curse" is very vividly described, which makes many young and potential American players feel chills in their spines, and their hearts are full. fear.

Adidas is known as the defender killer. Many young people in the United States are more willing to wear a pair of Jordan or Nike, but they avoid the sneakers produced by Adidas like snakes.

This rumor is very popular in the United States, and has a high sense of identity. According to the market report of Adidas, most American high school students would rather have a pair of Nike signature sneakers on their birthday than a pair of German-made sneakers. "Killer" sneakers.

Of course, there are also some middle-class and above high school players who like Adidas’ design sense and have a greater sense of identification with the German production process, but this part is less than 40% of the high school students in the United States, and the world’s There are many foreign students from all over the country.

As a manufacturer of sneakers, Adidas has naturally noticed this for a long time. However, there is no better way to deal with the rumors in the market. It can only be curbed a little, and there is no better strategy.

Who spread this rumor?It doesn't take much to think about it, there is a 80.00% possibility that it was spread by their rival Nike.

However, there is no way that although Adidas’s sneakers look comfortable and full of artistic sense, they are indeed weaker than their old rival Nike in terms of the core technology of sneakers. The air cushion technology alone can create a pair of sneakers with better cushioning effect. .

However, the ambition of the Germans has not weakened. They were able to develop in a short period of time as a defeated country in World War I, relying on their ambition to try to conquer the world.

As we all know, there are many players under Nike nowadays, but there are only two aces, Kobe Bryant and LeBron James, two superstars who are now very popular and powerful in the league.

But who is the opponent of Adidas?
"Stone Buddha" Duncan?He is an insider, and inside players are not easy to sell shoes!
Maddie?Today's McGrady is no longer in his peak state, and the suffering of injuries has caused this talented and talented peak swingman to lose most of his starlight and become a lonely wounded soldier.

How many outside stars can Adidas get now?

There are not many, but Chauncey Billups will be counted as one. This low-key veteran with a somewhat dim starlight is one of the few good cards that Adidas can play.

Tonight's duel between Chauncey Billups and Lee Se-ho is the focus of Adidas executives.

The vast Chinese market behind Li Shihao is a delicious cream cake, which is what Adidas values. They are looking for a global brand spokesperson, just like Kobe and James did!

However, the cautious Adidas did not make a decision easily. The lesson of McGrady is in front of us. Adidas is not willing to sign another star who is plagued by injuries.

The Germans are making a choice between Derrick Rose and Li Shihao, and now another one has joined the battle group, Stephen Curry, the Germans cut off the beard from Nike, and successfully snatched Stephen Curry, with 4 years of 2000 million US dollars Price signed the young guard from the Golden State Warriors.

The purpose of the Germans is obvious. There are too many defenders in the class of 09. If there are a lot of outstanding defenders, some players in this class will definitely go against the current, reach the top, and challenge the current structure of the league.

This is a good opportunity for the Germans. Once the existing structure of the league changes, and if the player who breaks the existing pattern belongs to them, then the Germans will definitely be able to take a bite out of the North American market occupied by Nike. The next piece of fat is coming.

For the Germans, Li Shihao and Curry are their chips on the gambling table this year.

The three of them will compete fiercely in a competitive mode, and there will be no peace in the next three to five years!

Chauncey Billups is an excellent temptation. Billups smiled and said: "Bruce, you know, Adidas is choosing a global spokesperson, and they are examining potential players! Originally, I was optimistic about Derrick Rose. , However, tonight's performance moved me, it is really outstanding, you have improved a lot compared to a month ago, it is really surprising!"

"I'm more optimistic about you now!" Billups reached out and patted Li Shihao's shoulder, his tone was quite positive.

What he said was sincere and sincere, which made Li Shihao a little flattered.

"Chauncey, I haven't done enough. I still have a lot to learn. This evaluation is too heavy for me!"

For Li Shihao, Billups is absolutely extremely important. This season, he can adapt to the league faster and lead the Timberwolves to an excellent record. Billups and Deron have contributed a lot.

What Chauncey Billups brings is how to control the rhythm and at the same time bring the team better perimeter defense.

What the little fat Deron brings is how to drive the rhythm and use his own organization to drive his teammates to start.

Both of them played against Li Shihao, which impressed Li Shihao very deeply, and learned a lot from it, which is one of the important reasons why Li Shihao can make such great progress.

Sometimes, what suits you is the best!
Both Nash and Kidd are well-known point guards in the league, and the queen bee Paul is also a very representative point guard superstar, but these three are not suitable for Li Shihao today.

Their playing methods and styles have very little overlap with Li Shihao, and Li Shihao can't learn much.

Take ball control as an example, it can be clearly seen in the game that although Li Shihao's ball control level is good, it is far from rising to the level of Chris Paul and Nash, but it is also in the middle and upper reaches of the league.

Under such circumstances, practical and effective playing methods like Billups and Deron are the most helpful to Li Shihao!
