Six hundred and fortieth chapters per capita Jordan
James Bond sent a bunch of rookie information to Li Weidong.
Today's Feiyue Sports employs a professional scout, and the scout report sent is more detailed.
Boss, there are many outstanding big men participating in the draft this year. It should be regarded as the draft year for inside players. James Bond paused, and then said:
But under normal circumstances, the sneakers of inside players are not very easy to sell! So if you sign inside players, you only ask them to endorse sneakers, and the boss will give them signed sneakers.
Li Weidong glanced at the list of candidates, and there were indeed a lot of well-known inside players.
People like Amare Stoudemire, Nene, Gooden, Boozer and others are all participating in this election. In addition, the more well-known Caron Butler and Michael Dunleavy are also more than two meters tall .
In general, among the rookies predicted to enter the first round, there are not many guards, and most of them are centers and forwards. .
Li Weidong asked, Who are the most popular players in the American media?
The most popular in the American media, of course, is the duo of Duke, namely Jay Williams and Mike Dunleavy. Both of them are the core of Duke University's championship.
James Bond continued: In addition, Duke University also has Carlos Boozer, who is also participating in the draft this year. According to predictions, he is expected to be selected at the end of the first round or at the beginning of the second round.
These three people mentioned by James Bond, together with Shane Battier who participated in the draft last year, are the core lineup for Duke University to win the championship.
From the perspective of future generations,
The strongest of these people is naturally Boozer.
But Boozer in college, his performance is not worthy of the lottery position,
Although his shooting percentage is as high as 63.1,
But among the talented Duke University,
He's not the No. 1 scoring option, not even the No. 2 or No. 3 scoring option,
Therefore, the draft pick at the time was not high.
I only heard James Bond continue to introduce: Mike Dunleavy is a second-generation ball player. His father, Mike Dunleavy, was the head coach of the Trail Blazers before, and he also won the honor of the NBA's best coach of the year.
So Mike Dunleavy has been influenced by basketball since he was a child,
Although his athletic ability is relatively average, his shooting is very accurate and he has excellent passing ability. Some people think that he may become the second Larry Bird.
As for Jay Williams, even better,
last year,
He is a popular candidate for the No. 1 pick,
But he wasn't in the draft at the time. And this year,
He is still the biggest favorite for the No. 1 pick.
And Jay Williams can play point guard as well as shooting guard,
Among this year's rookies,
There are not many defenders, so Jay Williams has also received more media attention.
Judging from the current situation, this year's No. 1 pick is very likely to be Jay Williams, and Mike Dunleavy's will be No. 2. After all, the Duke duo is already a well-known star.
Li Weidong said: The No. 1 pick must not be with Jay Williams. This year's No. 1 pick has already been decided.
No. 1 selected by default? James Bond asked puzzled.
right,
The Rockets will use the No. 1 pick,
Pick a Chinese player. Li Weidong paused, and then said: It's the spokesperson I signed in China last year.
Are you talking about that Mr. Yao? James Bond said suddenly.
That's right, it's him. It won't be long before the Rockets will announce the news. Li Weidong said.
James Bond said, So that's it. I thought that you signed Mr. Yao for the convenience of promoting the Feiyue brand in China. I didn't expect that Mr. Yao would come to the NBA and become this year's No. 1 pick. !Then our promotion pressure in the US,
It can also be a little more relaxed.
Is our brand promotion activity not going well? Li Weidong asked subconsciously.
James Bond immediately explained: Yes, our Feiyue Sports has grown too fast,
In just a few short years,
It is already the top five sports brands in North America, and it has already posed a threat to Nike and Adidas!
Moreover, we have always been relatively successful in signing brand spokespersons. The newly promoted superstars in the league in recent years are basically our spokespersons, while brands such as Nike and Adidas can only rely on a few veteran stars to support the scene.
Therefore, recently, Nike and Adidas have been trying to make things difficult for us. When we held promotional activities, they immediately launched promotional activities, diluting the effect of our activities.
And they also want to poach our spokesperson. As far as I know, Nike has contacted Kobe more than once. They want to poach Kobe from us, and people from Adidas are also contacting McGrady.
As for Carter, he has the right to terminate the endorsement contract at any time, so in addition to Nike and Adidas, other brands also want to poach him. It is said that the price offered is very attractive.
Compared with Nike and Adidas, our strength is still far behind. I am really worried that the spokesperson will be poached by them. If you can sign this year's No. 1 pick, you can also stabilize the form of spokesperson.
As for the spokesperson, we can't sit still, we have to find a way to take the initiative to fight back. Li Weidong thought for a moment, and then said: James, did you just say that the American media is most concerned about Jay Williams?
Yes. It is widely believed in the media that
He can at least grow into a star player, even a superstar! ' continued James Bond.
Well, you need to do two things now. The first thing is to try to contact Jay Williams and ask his price. Li Weidong said.
Jay Williams is the hottest player of the year and other sports brands are eyeing him,
I guess if you inquire now, the price will definitely be higher. said James Bond.
If the price is high, try to talk to him more. In short, you must show that you are determined to get him, but because his asking price is too high, we can't sign anything else, so we have been negotiating the price. And this matter, we must Find a way to let other sports brands know. Li Weidong said.
That is to say, you don't plan to sign him anymore? We're just playing on the spot! James Bond suddenly realized and nodded.
Yes, it is to play a show for Nike and Adias. Li Weidong replied.
Boss, it seems that you are not optimistic about this Jay Williams! James Bond said.
I'm really not optimistic about him, and I think he will be a big hole. Whoever signs him will definitely suffer heavy losses. Li Weidong replied.
Li Weidong's vision in choosing a spokesperson has always been accurate, so James Bond did not question Li Weidong's judgment.
Boss, what's the second thing? James Bond asked.
The second thing is to go to the media and hype up the value of Jay Williams, a once-in-a-century genius player, the core of a championship team, a future superstar, the next person to rule the NBA, Jordan's successor, etc. Everything can be added to him. Li Weidong said.
When you want to praise a basketball player, it is naturally Jordan per capita,
Gu Mo James Bond said: Jay Williams is a little shorter, he is only 6 feet 2 inches, and it is a bit misleading to be Jordan's successor.
In other words, let's say that he has Iverson's breakthrough, Carter's jumping, Tracy McGrady's shooting, and Kobe's comprehensiveness. He has all the advantages of the best perimeter scorer in the NBA on him. Li Weidong continued. Said.
Iverson's breakthrough, Carter's jumping, Tracy McGrady's shooting, Kobe's comprehensiveness, it might as well just say that he is Jordan! James Bond muttered in his heart.
The Rockets soon announced that they would select Chairman Yao with the No. 1 pick.
Determining the No. 1 pick in advance is not new in the NBA. Many teams will announce new candidates after they get the No. 1 pick. This can be regarded as a wave of normal operations for the Rockets.
However, the Rockets wanted to use the No. 1 pick to select a foreign player that Americans are not familiar with, which immediately caused an uproar.
It is not the first time in the NBA to select a foreign player with the No. 1 pick. In 1984, the Rockets had already selected a foreign player with the No. 1 pick, and that was Olajuwon.
Olajuwon was born in Nigeria, immigrated to the United States when he was in college, and attended four years of college in Houston.
So when Olajuwon participated in the NBA draft, he was already an American citizen, and Olajuwon was studying at the University of Houston. When the Rockets selected Olajuwon with the No. 1 pick, instead of causing controversy, they got With the support of Houstonians, everyone hopes that Houston's stars can stay in Houston to play.
It is also for this reason that neither the Rockets nor the Houstonians have ever regretted missing Jordan in 1984. If they choose again, the Rockets will definitely choose Olajuwon because he is a Houstonian.
As a Houstonian, I must support my fellow countrymen.
What's more, Olajuwon also brought two NBA championship trophies to Houston, which can be regarded as a return to his hometown.
After Olajuwon, in 1985, the nba ushered in another foreign champion, Patrick Ewing.
Ewing is a Jamaican. He immigrated to the United States with his parents when he was in elementary school, but he still has Jamaican citizenship.
Jamaica recognizes dual citizenship, and the United States' attitude towards dual citizenship is also the default. Therefore, when Ewing participated in the NBA draft, he had dual citizenship of Jamaica and the United States.
The reason why the New York team chose Ewing back then was because he was too good. Ewing in 1985 was like O'Neal in 1992, or Duncan in 1997. Because of him, the team deserves to be bad, no matter who gets the No. 1 pick , will choose Ewing.
Ewing studied at Georgetown University, a famous basketball school in the United States. As a freshman, Ewing led the team to the NCAA finals that year, and finally lost to the University of North Carolina because of a one-point difference.
At that time, the leading star of the University of North Carolina was Jordan, and the share that the University of North Carolina won was also the lore that Jordan made.
In 1984, Ewing once again led Georgetown University to the ncaa finals. This time, the opponent was the University of Houston led by Olajuwon. In the end, Ewing led the team to win.
In fact, in 1984, Ewing was already a popular candidate for the No. 1 pick, but because the Rockets won the No. 1 pick this year, and the Rockets could only choose Olajuwon, Ewing decided to wait another year.
In 1985, Ewing once again led his team to the NCAA finals, but unfortunately missed the championship.
But after going to college for four years, entering the NCAA finals three times, and winning one championship and two sub-finals, Ewing has become an all-American star before entering the NBA. In terms of popularity, Ewing is not inferior to Jordan at all.
These two are relatively outstanding foreign champions in the nba, and Duncan of the Spurs is comparable to them, but Duncan was born in the Wilk Islands of the United States, which is an overseas land of the United States, and the people there can be regarded as good people. A shortened version of the US citizen.
And the first foreign champion in NBA history, this is Michal Thompson born in the Bahamas, that is, Klay Thompson's father. He also immigrated to the United States when he was a child, and then went to college in the United States and participated in the NBA draft.
Before Chairman Yao, there was another foreign No. 1 pick, that is Olowokandi in 1998. Young fans probably have never heard of this name, and it is probably not easy for old fans to remember this name.
Olawokandi was born in Nigeria. He immigrated to the UK with his parents when he was a child. Later, because he was good at rugby, he got a scholarship from an American university. Then he studied in a university in the United States and then switched to basketball.
Olavokandi is the least famous parallel import champion in nba. The reason why he is the least famous is because fans really can't remember him.
The other parallel import champions are nothing, but the fans know them anyway.
For example, Kwame Brown, or King Oden, although they are often ridiculed, but after all, there are fans who know them, and notoriety can be regarded as a kind of fame.
But Olavokandi's data is almost the same, his name is still difficult to pronounce, and he is completely unknown. Such a mix of top parallel importers should be considered the worst.
Before Chairman Yao, there were already so many foreign champions in the history of the NBA, so it shouldn't surprise people to choose another foreign champion.
But these foreign champions all have one thing in common, that is, the universities they attended in the United States.
The attention of the American NCAA league is not inferior to that of the NBA, so Americans understand these foreign champions who are studying in the United States.
However, Chairman Yao had been playing in the CBA in China before, and the Americans didn't know him at all. Now that the Rockets wanted to pick him as the No. 1 pick, the controversy naturally arose.
Moreover, China's basketball level is much lower than that of the United States. How can a player trained in China become the No. 1 pick in the NBA?
At that time, the only impression Americans had of Chairman Yao was that he was tall, and nothing else.
Many sports media in the United States believe that Houston's choice of Chairman Yao is a gamble, and the probability of winning the gamble is not high.
There are also many sports commentators who think that the choice of Chairman Yao is purely from a commercial point of view. The Rockets are probably poor and crazy and want to get some sponsorships from China, and the NBA also wants to expand in the Chinese market, so the two hit it off. The NBA officially gave the Rockets a No. 1 pick, and the Rockets helped the NBA expand the Chinese market.
However, what is most unacceptable to the Rockets' decision is not the American media or the American people, but a young player named Jay Williams!
Looking at the news in the newspaper, Jay Williams couldn't believe his eyes!
In the next second, he was furious and tore up the newspaper.
Why! The champion should be me!
