On October 31, the first batch of 20,000 pairs of sneakers was shipped from China to all parts of North America.

The $145 price tag isn't cheap. In the collection of signed shoes of current NBA players, the unit price is second only to LeBron James, Tracy Maddy, Allen Iverson and Kobe Bryant.

As we all know, these four players are the most appealing and commercially influential outside stars in the NBA today.

When the price of the sneaker was announced two days before the official launch, it caused a lot of criticism.

Many people swore that "Bruce Lee's fearless spirit of challenge will definitely make him a commercial failure, and he simply does not have the foundation to challenge this price point." The sneaker market is by no means something that can be occupied by casually finding two female celebrities to hype up scandals, if he honestly sets the price at $50 or less, maybe there will be a glimmer of life......"

The voices of these people have actually increased the public's curiosity about this product, and in a sense, it has attracted more attention.

“WOW！！”

“Awesome！！”

Before the Lakers' opening game, Eddie Griffin screamed in the locker room. He got Bruce's signature shoes, which were custom-made for him by Li Zhen.

He has a very close relationship with Li Zhen, and he doesn't have a sneaker sponsorship contract on him, so he can wear any brand of sneakers as he likes.

So, of course, he has to get close to the water and get the moon first.

"This is definitely an epoch-making product. It's so light! And it's very snug and extremely flexible. Griffin jumped and jumped, and he shouted excitedly, "I want to buckle it when I put it on!" ”

His exaggerated remarks caught everyone's attention in the locker room, and even Kobe Bryant couldn't help but look at it. Then he also picked up Li Zhen's signature shoes from Li Zhen's locker and looked at them carefully.

He also released his first signature shoe from Nike this year, but when he saw the Lee Jin generation, alias 'Red Chain Snake'. He couldn't face his heart: both the exterior design and the in-house technology completely surpassed his signature shoes.

It's a 100 percent defender shoe, and if it weren't for the brand, he would even want to try it on.

Even Kobe Bryant exuded envy.

Not to mention the rest of the players.

In the NBA, only a handful of superstars at the top of the pyramid can own their own signature shoes, and then a small number can sign sponsorship contracts with brands, but the shoes worn are only basic or signed by other players. More players take merchandise vouchers from sponsors and use them to buy shoes. Or, you don't even have a voucher and have to pay the full price for your own shoes.

It turned out that only Kobe Bryant had signature shoes in the Lakers' locker room.

Now, Li Zhen has more than that. I also made my own brand. This makes many players envious at the same time, they can't help but be jealous, and even spit fragrant mouths.

"Are you sure anyone will buy these low-top shoes? Some guys with 'Jordan dreams' don't want to declare bankruptcy before their rookie season is over. ”

Smash Parker muttered sourly to Andrew Bynum next to him.

Bynum also chimed in: "That's it, that's it." Players who can't even start still want to push autographed shoes, it's not... Dreaming? ”

The two red-eyed beasts that couldn't eat grapes spoke sourly.

But Li Zhen didn't pay attention to them at all.

In terms of the IQ level of these two people, talking to them about the 'economy' is basically playing the piano to the cow.

So, why bother?

Instead, Eddie Griffin mocked the two: "You two are not even qualified to dream, and you will never be able to wear your own signature shoes in your life." What is sour? Squeeze the foam into my mouth when I take a shower at night to keep the smell from spraying on me. ”

Eddie Griffin has always been known for his villain image.

When his right index finger was in front of the two, the two of them pressed back in amusement.

And automatically stop talking.

This kind of attitude of daring to be angry and not speaking out is also very much in line with their image as 'haters'.

Actually, when Eddie Griffin stepped forward to scare someone. Kwame Brown also stood up, and the 'parallel import' didn't talk much. But the whole locker room knows that he is only looking at Li Zhen.

Moreover, he is a little different from Eddie Griffin.

Griffin is a fan of blues, and he is a 'big idol and guardian of the best blues' all day long.

Kwame doesn't listen to music, he's a basketball fan of Bruce. He cooperates with Li Zhen very tacitly, every time he appears at the same time as Li Zhen, he is very relieved, and he always has a good performance, and he eats cakes very happily. During this time, his evaluation in the media has risen, and everything is due to Bruce.

So, whether it's in the dressing room, or at the training ground. Anyone who behaves in a targeted manner toward Bruce, or sneers at him. The first one to rush up and scare people was definitely Eddie Griffin. But the person standing behind and giggling with his fingers broken must have been Kwame Brown.

They are like the dynasty Mahan beside Tanhualang, escorting.

made Li Zhen quite comfortable in the Lakers.

……

The Los Angeles Lakers' opener opponent was the Milwaukee Bucks.

The Bucks are an out-and-out weak team, and in the predictions of major websites and major media in the new season, they are all the vice presidents of the East who are fighting hard. No one is optimistic about their prospects this season. Everyone thought they were going to swing and prepare for the draft.

Therefore, the Lakers won this game bloodlessly, making a good start to the 2006-2007 season.

Bruce played 11 minutes in the first regular season game of his career, scoring six points, six assists, one rebound, one steal and two turnovers.

The efficiency was amazing, and it also contributed some of the best shots of the game. With three minutes left in the first quarter, he made his first appearance in the cheers of the home fans, and deflected Mo Williams' defense with a cross step, and when Mo Williams struggled to catch up, he tricked Williams into jumping with a bye, and then when he rushed forward, Mo Williams lost his center of gravity in the process of forcing follow-up and fell to the ground.

At the same time, Australian champion Bogut quickly flew up and tried to give Tanhualang a little color.

But Lee Zhen spun quickly, and the basketball was quickly knocked by him with his elbow to Eddie Griffin, who was following up on the left.

Griffin, who was wearing the 'Red Chain Snake', received the basketball and immediately volleyed into the air, drawing a rainbow in the air...... Rumble!

The assist of the stroke of genius, the violent buckle like a flying fairy outside the sky.

The duo's collaboration allowed the slow-motion replay to be played back more than five times.

In these five replays, in addition to the smooth performance of the two, what is even more eye-catching is the exact same sneakers on their feet.

"Oh! This is Bruce's signature shoe. It went on sale in the U.S. at 2 p.m. this afternoon, and it is said that the sales are very hot. ”

Earl Johnson also made a beautiful commercial for Lee Jin on TNT's national live channel.

And in the future, Eddie Griffin also continued to show the style of 'spokesperson'.

He worked very well with Bruce, and after the pick-and-roll, almost every ball was able to get into the paint area to win the camera.

Villanueva's defense was like air in front of him.

And, after Li Zhen was gone. He actually showed off two mid-to-long-range jumpers.

He surprised the fans at the scene, who originally thought he was an addition to the deal.

Unexpectedly, now, he has become a bench bandit.

Although with Kobe, Odom, and Bynum coming on the court one after another, his role quickly edged and was then substituted off the court. But his cooperation with Lee Zhen really really made Lakers fans shine and see new possibilities.

After the game, when he got 14 points and 5 rebounds, he did not forget to show off his shoes in front of the camera when he was interviewed by the media.

"It's my secret weapon for being in good shape tonight. I've never worn a sneaker that is so light and fits the ball of my foot perfectly. I recommend that NBA dunks or guards try it out, it will definitely give you better performance on the court. ”

Griffin advertises more than he plays.

But his words are indeed like a seed, although I don't know when it will sprout, but at least it has been planted in the hearts of NBA players.

After this bland and untopical opening game, the news that shocked the entire NBA occurred at noon the next day.
