NBA: This flower path is a bit strong

When Hanamichi defeated [Old Rogue] to win his first monthly player of the month and became the league's All-Star vote king in the first round, it really shocked the whole United States, even the Eastern countries!

In Toronto, photos and posters printed with Hanamichi have gradually become the symbol of this city!

In the early days, one morning in Kanagawa, when Coach Anzai saw this news in the newspaper, his hands trembled slightly, just like when he saw the news about Tanizawa many years ago, but the old man showed a relieved smile on his face at this time!

In the flower-growing family, thanks to the multi-faceted operation of Comrade Zhang Heli, a general under Hanamichi, Hanamichi's outstanding performance in the world basketball arena continues to radiate back to the flower-growing family from the United States, and his popularity is getting higher and higher!

Nike, which signed a 7-year 100 million "sky-high sneaker contract" with Hanamichi, is now making a lot of money!

Who said that it is difficult for inside players to sell shoes? Before Hanamichi made special efforts to promote the sneakers, sales have increased significantly!

"No, this All-Star Game must be a big deal!"

The person in charge of Nike thought so, and then specially made a gold and red All-Star commemorative sneaker for Hanamichi!

It seems that it is to take advantage of the popularity of Hanamichi's next All-Star Game. After all, free advertising~ it's a waste!

In fact, after thinking about it carefully, it is found that Hanamichi's achievements are both unexpected and reasonable. Each condition is linked to each other. If any one is missing, the current effect cannot be achieved.

First of all, Hanamichi's strength. Although many media have called for him and praised his "super giant" strength or the goalkeeper who guards the "super giant" threshold, it at least shows that Hanamichi is a power forward. The strength and dominance of this position!

At this time, there are not many people in the league's power forward position who can tie with Hanamichi. He and Das showed a sense of "rookie is the peak" when they first entered the league, and realized the step towards becoming a star in the playoffs of the rookie season!

Compared with this, it is not that Damon Stoudemire, a good friend of Hanamichi, has not made any progress, but that he has made too slow progress compared with Hanamichi!

In the NBA, sometimes, slow progress can also be seen as a regression!

It was in this disguised regression that [Little Flying Squirrel] lost the opportunity to compete for the [First Dragon King]. Of course, for him, it doesn't matter who becomes the [Dragon King], just discuss it!

Without strength, no matter how well packaged it is, it is just a shelf, a paper tiger, and it will break with a poke! But Hanamichi has a solid foundation, plus Simmons, Zhang Heli and others' publicity and packaging at home and abroad, the effect is different!

In addition, Hanamichi has its own gimmicks: dunking the basket, pulling down the basket stand, the tragedy on December 8, the dragon and phoenix under his command, the rookie All-Star even as a substitute, the second-year All-Star vote king, 19 consecutive wins, defeating [Old Rogue] to win the Player of the Month, etc.!

With gimmicks, fans will be attracted, and Hanamichi has its own traffic system! Standing on the land of Toronto, Canada, he will radiate to a group of Canadian fans internally, and attract the attention of many Americans externally. With the flower planting market behind him, there are even a few people who support him.

It can be said that Huadao's own traffic is definitely in the top three in the league!

No wonder David Stern is so optimistic about his value and calls him "the key to wealth in the East"!

…………

"Still 120 million short!"

Huadao stared at his popularity value, which was only 120 million away from unlocking the super giant card, and now is the best opportunity - on February 3, the NBA officially announced the 1997 Cleveland All-Star starting list, and Huadao's name topped the list with 3.06 million votes, becoming the first player in NBA history to break 300 votes.

In fact, last year's All-Star votes, the highest was only Grant Hill's 1,358,004 votes.

In fact, if it weren't for Hanamichi's butterfly wings, the biggest surprise this time should be that [Old Rogue] broke the 2 million record with 2,451,136 votes!

In addition to Hanamichi, the confirmed Eastern All-Star starters include Michael Jordan, Anfernee Hardaway, Grant Hill, and Patrick Ewing. As for poor Pierce, he was squeezed into the Eastern All-Star bench by Hanamichi who suddenly appeared!

The Western starting list is [Crooked Mouth God of War] Gary Payton, one of the Salt Lake City Twins ~ John Stockton, [Flying Pig] Charles Barkley, the honest man [Rain Man] Shawn Kemp, and one of the four centers ~ Hakeem Olajuwon.

Hanamichi always feels weird looking at this list.!

"Why do all the All-Star teammates in the East seem to be enemies?"

[Old Rogue] is not to be mentioned. Grant Hill was pulled out for the All-Star voting issue. You don't need to ask to know that he is very uncomfortable now, at least he doesn't like himself. [Gorilla] Ewing and him have been enemies since last season, and the slap in the face has not been paid back yet. Not to mention Pierce, who just elbowed him recently.

After all, Hardaway has no direct conflict with him, but that's not right! Hardaway and O'Neal have a bad relationship because of the competition for the core of the team, and O'Neal and Hanamichi have a good relationship as everyone knows, which means that Hardaway has no good impression of Hanamichi!

Thinking of this, Hanamichi shouted:

"It's bad! Let [Shark] trick me!"

At this time, [Shark] entered the starting lineup of the Eastern All-Stars with 1,290,591 votes last season, but who would have thought that he would go to the West this year.

(The only players who were selected as All-Star starters in their rookie season are Magic Johnson, Michael Jordan, and Shaquille O'Neal)

Hanmichi has always felt that he is a professional player with all-round development in morals, intelligence, physical fitness, aesthetics, and labor. Since he came to the league, he has never caused trouble. Why is his popularity so bad?

How can he play in the All-Star Game when all his teammates are "knives"?

He has always been unafraid to speculate on people's hearts with the worst malice. What if the "old rogue" and the other two guards who claim to be the descendants of the "old rogue" collude and no one passes the ball to him in the All-Star Game?

This year's All-Star will celebrate the 50th anniversary of the birth of the NBA. It is a big party. At that time, the 50 greatest players in history, voted by retired players, coaches and media people, will be present.

At halftime of the Cleveland All-Star Game, the league will hold a grand award ceremony for them.

Just imagine, 50 superstars wearing commemorative jackets will appear one by one, the stars are shining, and the whole hall is full of brilliance! Then in the All-Star Game, Hanamichi couldn't even touch the ball a few times. At that time, "the clown turned out to be me", which was originally a great opportunity to increase popularity, but in the end, he "missed the good chicken".

After all, Hanamichi did not participate in other challenges in this All-Star Game, and there was no other opportunity to show off.

"I got it, let's do it when the time comes!"

Hanmichi felt that it was time to make a big bet with [Old Rogue]!
