Chapter 112: sneakers
There will also be an awards ceremony on the spot, where the best team, the most valuable player, and the final championship trophy will be selected.
The most valuable player is Lian Dao, the best forward is also Lian Dao, and the best defender is Raheem Wright.
Then came the final awards ceremony. It can be said that Lian Dao received the most goods this time.
This time, the men's basketball team also returned to the top of Asia.
Lian Dao can be regarded as making up for a regret in history.
However, after this time, Guo Shiqiang still resigned as the head coach. He also found that he was still immature, especially in the finals, and he did not make positive adjustments at many times.
At the same time, the domestic media also wrote a lot about this men's basketball team.
"In the finals against Iran, an ankle reaper will be staged!"
"Brutal dunk Haddadi, the tyrant is coming!"
"The Chinese men's basketball team once again stands on the top of Asia!"
…
The hype of the domestic media made the fans very excited about it, and they left messages on the Internet one after another.
"As expected of Lian Dao, he is really domineering. There is always no shortage of buckles in games with Lian Dao!"
"Congratulations to Brother Lian for being awarded the "Ankle Harvester" medal."
"Lu Province sent a congratulatory message!"
"Kyoto sent a congratulatory message!"
"Guangdong Province sent a congratulatory message!"
…
"Excuse me, is the building crooked?"
"Ah, I like my husband, he's so handsome!"
"Hey, I don't know if my husband likes me like this."
"Kill the monster to death, pull it out and bury it alive!"
…
At the same time in the United States, the New York Knicks also published congratulations to Lian Dao on their official website.
Harden, Demar and the others are also in the group to congratulate Lian Dao, Lian Dao is still pleased to have made a bunch of bosom friends.
But when the style of painting changed, the group of people were actually discussing about letting Lian Dao treat him.
It really is a bunch of bad friends!
And this time, Lian Dao likes to mention the nickname "Harvester" on the Internet.
Many netizens believe that the translation of "sickle" means sickle, and sickle means harvest.
And the same is true of Lian Dao's style of play. When he played against the Siena Saints in March Madness, he directly dunked Edwin Ubilles' ribs, and he also brutally dunked Thabeet when he played against the University of Connecticut. The second Asian Championship not only dunked Haddadi, but also swayed him, and it was also the "ankle reaper".
Therefore, many netizens think that the name "Harvester" is very individual.
It was only later when Lian Dao went online that he found out that he liked to mention a new nickname.
Harvester? what the hell.
Netizens forcefully explained, Lian Dao expressed his helplessness, harvester, if you translate it like this, I am still a scythe of the working class!
These are small episodes on the Internet.
Lian Dao also smiled when he saw it.
After the Asian Championships, he also participated in the celebration banquet held by the men's basketball team.
Then, next, Lian Dao will consider signing that sneaker brand.
Nike also re-quoted: 65 million dollars in 7 years; Adidas quote: 70 million dollars in 7 years.
Domestic sneaker brands also quoted prices for Liantao, with Peak at $65 million in six years, Li Ning at $72 million in six years, and Anta at $70 million in five years.
The quotations of domestic brands are very good compared with foreign ones.
But in terms of the quality of sneakers, at this stage, China is not as good as foreign countries.
The highest offer here is Anta.
70 million US dollars in 5 years.
"Do you want to sign a domestic brand? Can the quality of the sneakers be guaranteed?" Guo Yuwei also discovered at this time that Lian Dao had the intention of signing a domestic brand.
After all, the price of domestically produced products is indeed attractive.
Especially for Anta, they set conditions in the negotiation.
As long as Lian Dao is selected as an All-Star during the rookie contract period, Anta will launch a 50% profit-sharing contract exclusively for Lian Dao's sub-brand.
During the rookie contract period, the requirements can be met at any time, and a new contract can be signed at any time.
This is so tempting!
Sub-brand, 50% profit sharing, you must know that only Jordan can be called a sub-brand company in the alliance.
Air Jordans!
And braised eggs are also making a lot of money by virtue of Air Jordan, the cash cow.
However, the question raised by Guo Yuwei must also be considered. The shoes on the basketball players' mobilization feet are really important. Once the choice is not good, the athletes are likely to be injured, and even have a great impact on the entire basketball career.
Although Anta offered attractive conditions, Lian Dao had to think more about it.
Shoes actually involve quite a lot of high-tech. Although Anta has continuously invested in research and development of high-tech in history, it later caught up with Nike in technology.
But relatively speaking, some of their technologies are not very mature yet.
"Then what should I do, choose Adidas? Do you think that if I become famous, will Adidas make a sub-brand for me?" Lian Dao also sighed at this time and asked Guo Yuwei.
"It's possible. After all, they have been eaten by Nike in recent years." Guo Yuwei only analyzed the possibility.
"But even if you agree, your share will not be very large. You must know that only Jordan has obtained this kind of contract so far." Guo Yuwei said.
Historically, Nike only signed a lifetime contract with James in 2015 and launched AirLebron's sub-brand sneakers for James.
Before that, the only one who had won such a contract was Braised Egg.
While they were discussing, Lian Dao's cell phone rang.
It is Lian Dao's father, Lian Guochang.
"Boy, you did a good job. You didn't embarrass Lao Lian's family. When will you come home, the old man misses you!" After connecting, Lian Guochang was in a good mood.
"I'll go back to see grandpa the day after tomorrow, how is grandpa doing?" Lian Dao hadn't gone home to see him this time, and he was about to become Dayu.
"The old man is in good health, but he misses you a little bit, and I don't know why the old man dotes on you so much. By the way, haven't you signed a contract for your sneakers?" Lian Guochang asked
"Huh? Not yet, I'm currently considering it!" Lian Dao didn't know why Lian Guochang suddenly became concerned about his sneaker signing.
"I have some shares in Anta. Lao Ding wants you to give Anta a chance. They want to let you try on the latest technology sneakers. You can have a look first, and then refuse if it is really inappropriate."
"Okay, hey, Dad, why didn't I know you still have shares in Anta?"
Lian Dao was a little confused when he heard it. He didn't expect Lian Guochang to still have shares in Anta.
"You are not in the country, what do you know, well, there is nothing else, remember to come and see the old man." After Lian Guochang finished speaking, he hung up the phone.
Lian Dao is also used to this, all his tenderness has been given to Lian Dao's mother, Zhao Ruoyun, and he basically treats this son as a free range.
And Lian Dao didn't expect that Anta would choose curve to save the country.
The old man spoke up, and Lian Dao had to see what was going on anyway.
While Lian Dao was answering the phone, Guo Yuwei also received a call from Anta.
Lian Dao also asked Guo Yuwei to agree to their visit, so she explained the reason to the little senior sister.
The little senior sister was also a little confused after hearing this.
The reason why Lian Dao agreed, besides Lian Guochang, is that Anta's sincerity is the most among these brands, and at the same time, I also want to see what level the domestic sneakers have reached.
After a while, several people came from Anta They also brought a pair of white and yellow basketball shoes.
After trying it on, Lian Dao was very surprised. It was not much different from the AJ under his feet. Especially in terms of shock absorption, Lian Dao felt very good.
At this time, the designer who came with them also introduced the high technology of this pair of shoes to Lian Dao.
It turned out to be the latest research results of the first domestic sports science laboratory they established in 2005: double shock-absorbing technology and long-lasting shock-absorbing insoles, elastic "jelly" technology...
Moreover, after the acquisition of Fila this year, it also absorbed and utilized Fila's sneaker technology, and this pair of shoes has just been successfully developed.
Lian Dao also remembered that Anta did acquire Fila in 2009, and after the acquisition of Fila, Anta continued to grow.
In 2010, he also signed Wolf King Garnett.
It can be seen that the signing of Garnett's sneakers is not only because of the attractive price in history.
The quality of the sneakers is as expected.
