After getting the official thing, Liu Lang and Knight discussed the development of Nike this year, in fact, Liu Lang doesn't need these things, Nike is now a strong and talented person, and the design team has also mastered Liu Lang's design skills, every shoe can lead the trend, but every time it comes to the main brand, you still have to ask Liu Lang, Liu Lang will also give the other party a few shoe design schemes, he has dozens of future styles in his mind, no need to use in vain, and each of his designs will immediately become a learning example for Nike's design team, in the hearts of these designers, Liu Lang will always be the pioneer of the Nike spirit, the status is tied with Knight, the founder.

Knight found that Liu Lang not only has an incomparable feeling for the design of sneakers, but also has a particularly professional analysis of players, after all, he chose Jordan as the head brand of Nike, and now Jordan has really become the main star of the NBA, in addition to Jordan, Liu Lang has also found several rookie endorsement shoes for the company from time to time in recent years, such as the guy called Pippen in 87, this person was the No. 5 show of the year, and was selected by the SuperSonics and exchanged to the Bulls and became Jordan's teammate, Liu Lang specially called Nike to sign him, the price is very cheap, only 100,000 US dollars a year。

In the eighth and seventh seasons, Pippen's performance was average, but the next year, his ability exploded, and his cooperation with Jordan became higher and higher, especially this ball style is very elegant, Liu Lang specially designed a shoe called "Batman" for him, and this shoe sells well.

And last year, Liu Lang asked Nike to sign a guard named Richmond, who was the No. 5 pick of the year, because he was also a rookie, and the price was very cheap, 150,000 US dollars a year.

And in May this year, Liu Lang called Knight and asked him to sign a guy named Sean Kemp's player, Knight did not hesitate, immediately complied, signed for five years for 150,000 US dollars a year, and made this big man very happy, but this player's skills are very rough, and there is a big gap with the previous year's Richmond, but this guy has a very strong thing, that is, his body is explosive, and he showed his unparalleled bounce power in the first week of the game, which is a word under the basket: dunk, the basket is a ring, although he is not technical, but just by dunking the fans to remember him, and he is quite popular, and the attention received is higher than that of the top draft players。

Liu Lang's ability to select players is really amazing, with such a person with a strange vision, Nike does not need special scouts in selecting players at all, and he chooses rookies, and the price is much cheaper than the stars after becoming famous.

Liu Lang is not sure, all the famous players in the NBA in the future are in his head, it is not easy to choose a few to endorse the sneakers, if he has the opportunity in the future, he wants to buy a team to play, with him, there is no need to spend a lot of money to buy stars, and he can form an all-star team by relying on the draft.

Stern also knows Liu Lang's ability, he feels that Liu Lang knows more about basketball and athletes than himself, and I am afraid that it is this ability that allows him to create such a passionate comic book as "Slam Dunk", which in turn changes a country's perception of the NBA.

Stern wanted to enter the Chinese market for so many years and couldn't get it, but Liu Lang helped himself through a small comic, if this matter was purely accidental, but this is not the case, Liu Lang told Stern this method two years ago, Stern did not believe it at that time, and even felt that Liu Lang was perfunctory to him, but two years later Liu Lang did what he said, and he couldn't afford this favor!

Stern will not be entangled in the matter of returning favors, Nike has Liu Lang's shares, he just needs to use his position to help Nike a little more, of course, in Stern's view, this is a win-win business boom, Nike uses millions of annual sales to expand the influence of basketball in the United States, and the NBA makes people remember the ball on their feet through star-making sports.

The only thing that makes Stern a little "unhappy" is that in China it seems that Nike is more well-known than the NBA, because in "Slam Dunk" The frequency of sneakers in the comics is much higher than the English word NBA, so that even the Chinese officials will buy a pair of shoes for their children, but this is also a helpless thing, Stern has long found that Liu Lang's status in China is very transcendent, and the director of the national television station should be a big official, but they see Liu Lang is very respectful, Stern has learned the arrogance of these people, and there is only one way to make them respect you, that is, your rights are greater than him.

Liu Lang doesn't even know what Knight is doing now, this kid is very mysterious, but Stern won't care about these things, even if Liu Lang is a member of some secret organizations in China, it doesn't matter, the relationship between the two is business.

In order to thank Liu Lang for his great contribution to the NBA, this time Stern specially brought a gift to the other party, which is a championship ring made of pure gold, with a few words written on it: To the NBA's best friend liu, this ring is specially customized for Liu Lang, the only one in the world, of course, Stern was alone with Liu Lang, and several senior NBA officials awarded this ring to Liu Lang, he didn't want those people on national TV to see this, it was Liu Lang who really contributed to the NBA, those people, he actually looked down on it in his heart。

Stern has come to China for the fifth time, and finally completed a big event, and then he and Knight will go to the island country to promote the NBA, the island country and the United States have a good relationship, and all aspects of communication are very close, the year before last Stern signed an agreement with the island country, each season the island country will broadcast ten NBA games, five of which are the Bulls, and this year the island country took the initiative to increase the ten games to thirty, especially Jordan's game, they wish that all the broadcast games were the Bulls, Stern knew about this and the " Slam Dunk", but he can only pretend not to know, otherwise he will have low self-esteem when he sees Liu Lang in the future, and let Liu Lang do his own work.

Liu Lang witnessed a historical moment, of course, this historical moment has little to do with him, but it was caused by him, maybe his role will not be known by most people, but in Stern's heart Liu Lang is a great contributor, is an important contributor to this historical moment, the credit is no less than Stern himself, especially this time in China only to find that Liu Lang's energy is far greater than he imagined, he guessed that Liu Lang has some big people behind him, but carefully imagine that Liu Lang's Shengtang company is in the United States, what does this have to do with his backgroundThe reason why Shengtang is so powerful is that Liu Lang's own ability is like a fish in water in the American environment, let alone in China.

Thinking of this, Stern feels a little lucky, because he hugged Liu Lang with such a big thick leg, and the development of the NBA in China in the future really needs Liu Lang's energy.
