Chapter 358: The Good of a Big City (Asking for a Monthly Pass~)
Pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger is the reason why Uncle Drew is liked by fans.
A few old men, either striking iron or being broken, dribbling unsteadily, and not defending.
The boos of the fans mean that their "acting skills" are not bad.
But just as Jones pounced up, Sun Hao broke through him with a change of direction.
Now the boos came to an abrupt end, replaced by doubt.
Wait until Sun Hao quickly rushes into the inside line and slams the ball into the basket with a sudden burst.
Confusion turned to stunnedness, and then there were gushing cheers.
Old man, it seems that he can't play in the first few rounds, but this second suddenly bursts, and the sense of contrast is too strong!
Many viewers even burst into foul language, so high that they couldn't do it.
Moreover, such a performance is not a one-time performance, and it is not limited to one person.
The audience at the scene found that the old man, who was more than two meters tall, suddenly had a hunched back and was not so hunched, and all kinds of dry pulls and bullets facing people were not missing;
The old man, who was so thin that he looked like a child, kept hitting three-pointers from beyond the three-point line;
There is another old man of about two meters, who directly prevented Jones from death!
A sense of contrast, a greater sense of contrast, an extreme sense of contrast!
Even, Sun Hao also received a pass from Curry Jr. and came to an empty dunk!
The moment the ball was smashed into the basket, the audience was stunned.
They felt that they had wronged Elvin Willis, and that Willis had brought in all the best old men in the world.
In the end, with Jones' skeptical look on his face, the Old Man team won over the MHP team by a big margin.
By the end of the game, the crowd had rushed into the arena in a hurry.
When the celebration was over, the audience's mood was stable, and when they thought it was almost over, Sun Hao and they began to remove makeup on the spot!
When they finished taking off their makeup, especially when Sun Hao appeared, the audience at the scene ushered in a second wave of madness.
In order to avoid being recognized early, Sun Hao didn't shoot many three-pointers in the game, but more to show his Dallas Carter, who should now be called Los Angeles Carter's dunk ability.
So after removing the makeup this time, the audience was really surprised when they found out that it was him!
Immediately, Sun Hao was surrounded by the audience.
This time, Curry Jr. and Durant really saw Sun Hao's popularity in Los Angeles.
But no one noticed that Jones, who was still skeptical about his life in front of him, was already having fun at this moment.
When the crowd dispersed a little, Jones came to Sun Hao.
"Damon, didn't you say that you are the number one shooter in the universe and are 100% sure?"
There was an audience cheering.
However, Jones was not angry, but pulled Sun Hao.
"No way, I'm the number one player in the universe."
Jones's next words caused the audience around him to burst into laughter.
Sun Hao was also amused.
Jones has a really good personality, a proper team pistachio.
Looking at it now, the team's final signing of the 15th man is very profitable.
When the crowd dispersed, Jones also introduced his girlfriend to Sun Hao.
Tina Thompson.
From the aesthetic point of view of the Chinese, Thompson looks average, even a little manly.
However, people are not only about appearance, after a short period of contact, Sun Hao feels that this is a woman with a very good personality.
It's not for nothing that Jones would like her so much.
After chatting with Jones and them, Sun Hao was about to leave with Durant and his party, when suddenly a high school student broke into their field of vision.
With a small head and big ears, although his face looked exceptionally green, Sun Hao still recognized him at a glance.
Some people are born baby-faced, Curry is like that, and so is the person in front of them.
Louis Williams.
On the street of Los Angeles, ask who the father is.
This is a meme that describes this person in the future.
It's about him as a role player, but with the scoring ability of a superstar.
Of course, that was for later, and now Williams is just a young high school student.
Sun Hao thought that he was here to sign it, but the pen in his hand was still there, and he reached out to take the things he wanted to sign.
But Williams's next words surprised him.
"Can I train with you?"
Sun Hao was stunned for a moment.
He suddenly had the idea that it was better to ask a man to fish than to ask a man to fish.
Williams, you're smart.
"I can pay for it, as much as I want, and if I can, I can pay it when I get into the NBA."
Williams's words made Sun Hao couldn't help but laugh.
What's going on today, it's so interesting to meet people when you go out.
"Or if you need me to do something else, as long as I can train with you."
However, Williams's next words made Sun Hao a little moved.
To be able to say this is enough to show Williams's determination.
"You fight Stephen."
Sun Hao said his request.
Curry on the side looked at Sun Hao suspiciously after hearing it, why me?
Sun Hao ignored Curry's eyes and asked Williams to beat Durant, which was difficult for a strongman.
On the contrary, it is two people who are both dual-energy guards, and there is still a bit of suspense in the fight.
Williams glanced at Curry like ...... Well, when I see a superb beauty, my eyes are full of longing.
Curry shuddered.
But there is no way, since Sun Hao has spoken, he can't help it.
So, Sun Hao and Durant stole a little bit and sat on the sidelines to watch Curry play Williams.
Williams is two years older than Curry.
However, he is not much bigger than Curry.
If you don't have an image yet, then think of Iverson, who just entered the league.
The breakthrough is sharp, the shooting is good, but the defense is not good, this looks like a weakened version of the young Iverson.
However, Curry is not weak, to say that he followed Sun Hao, and the biggest change in history is that he started strength and confrontation training in advance.
That puts him a little bit better than Williams on the defensive end.
The two fought to the end, and Curry defeated Williams 7-5.
"This kid has a talent for playing in the NBA."
Bell turned to Sun Hao after reading it and said.
Sun Hao smiled and nodded.
He got up and walked over to Williams.
"Give me one more chance."
Williams was a little unconvinced to lose, and the difference in strength between him and Curry was not large, especially one-on-one.
Curry just had a little more luck winning.
Sun Hao shook his head.
Williams looked frustrated.
He didn't take his only chance.
"You can train with us."
Sun Hao said with a smile.
Williams was stunned, a little ununderstood.
"You didn't mean to make me ...... Stephen"
"But I didn't say you had to win him, did you?"
Sun Hao nodded and said with a smile.
Williams suddenly realized, he knew that Sun Hao meant to see his strength, not necessarily for him to win.
"Welcome to the House of Evolution."
Sun Hao smiled and stretched out his hand to Williams.
He, of course, will not be nice to people for no reason.
Although O'Neal, including O'Neal, has a lot of confidence in the Lakers.
But as you can see from the roster changes, the Lakers' current situation is more like a rebuild.
O'Neal is the only one left in the team's squad last season, although there are instant combat supplements such as Sun Hao and Finley, but other positions are weak.
If you define a team by a playoff team, you can just sign a few tool guys.
But if you define it by winning the championship, it's almost meaningless.
So Williams joining the House of Evolution is more like an investment made by Sun Hao in the future.
Sun Hao brought back Williams in the Drew League this time, which is very rewarding.
But what he didn't expect was that after their event was promoted by Adi, it caused a great response among fans.
"It's the most creative activity I've ever seen, it's really cool and amazing!"
"I was watching the game live, and to be honest, I really couldn't imagine that old man would be Sun, and I have to praise Adi's makeup artist."
"The next time I play on the streets, I'll wonder if any uncle is also an NBA star!"
"Uncle Drew?"
"Cool, I love this, Sun has a new nickname in Los Angeles!"
"It's a pity that I didn't go to the scene, I hope there will be a next time for such an event, maybe next time they are not old men, but real uncles, look forward to it!"
……
Sun Hao learned from Gu Yi that Adi intended to make this a series.
And the title of Uncle Drew.
Did he take Owen's path again?
However, there are many talents in the comment area, and he thinks that the suggestion of dressing up as an uncle is very good.
Owen's Uncle Drew was very popular when he first came out, but after that, the fans gradually became numb.
Even the series filmed later is basically looking for extras.
To put it bluntly, Owen's style remains the same, and it has always been the shape of an old man, so everyone can recognize him at first sight.
If when you pretend to be a pig and eat a tiger, everyone else already knows that you are a tiger in advance, it will be very boring.
On the contrary, how to disguise yourself is the reason why this series lasts.
So Adi's proposal is not impossible in Sun Hao's opinion.
The change in the pattern of the alliance is also a battle between Adi and Nike.
If this series can be more popular than Irving's in history, it will undoubtedly be a great help for Adi.
He and Adi are now completely tied together.
……
The offseason is called the long grass period again, and the fans have no games to watch, and they are very idle, just like the land that has not been cultivated for a long time, and the green grass is beginning to grow.
At this time, the influence of any breaking news will be greatly enhanced.
Sun Hao hasn't played a game for the Lakers yet, but this Uncle Drew has skyrocketed his popularity in Los Angeles for another while.
Then, Fu Paul said he was a little too busy.
Sports leagues, many times, are divided into big cities and small cities.
Especially before the rapid development of information networks, the benefits of large cities were far beyond those of small cities.
Better urban environments, more salaries, and more endorsements.
In the early days of the NBA, New York, Los Angeles, and Boston were almost the best players in the league.
This is also a very important reason why these teams were able to dominate in that era.
By the end of the 90s, information began to develop at a high speed, and this pattern was broken.
However, everything has a process, and the advantages of big cities will only become smaller and will not disappear.
Fu Paul is busy because there are too many advertisers who come to Sun Hao to sign endorsement contracts.
As one of the most developed cities in the United States, Los Angeles is the commercial core of many brands.
This phenomenon should not be too normal.
When Fu Paul found Sun Hao with the screened advertising contract, Sun Hao experienced a feeling that he had never felt in Dallas.
Is this a big city?
For a moment, he felt a little like Grandma Liu entering the Grand View Garden.
Thinking about it this way, the pros and cons of him being traded to the Lakers really outweigh the disadvantages.
is an Olympic champion again, Uncle Drew again, and a large number of commercial endorsement contracts, and for a while, Sun Hao has become the hottest [new fo] team in the league.
It was also at this time that Adi changed his habit of launching new sneakers before the All-Star Game, and announced that he would launch the SUN3 before the start of the game.
Unlike all of Sun Hao's solo sneaker series in the past, this is a co-branded sneaker.
Most people don't pay much attention to buying sneakers, but some people who have studied sneakers will know the preciousness of league sneakers.
Because this kind of shoe may only be launched once, and if you buy it, it will be out of print.
And this time, Adi is looking for a very interesting co-branded partner.
THEY'RE LOOKING FOR TWIX!
Many people may not know the name of this company, but most people must know the two brands owned by this company.
Snickers, Dove.
Historically, TWIX and AJ have been in league sneakers, and the color scheme of the sneakers is very close to TWIX.
This is the way of the general co-branded sneakers, the shoes are still the same shoes, but they incorporate the elements of the co-branded brand, which is precious and special.
This time, Adi co-branded is the Dove brand under TXIX.
The sneaker comes in three colours, the first is brown, the second is red, and the third is blue.
These are also the three most commonly used shades for Dove packaging.
But that's not all.
There are two other special features about these sneakers.
One is that all the shades of this shoe have gold added to it.
This is the accent color that Dove often uses in addition to the main color, and gold also echoes the "purple and gold" of the Lakers.
The second is that the logo of this pair of sneakers is designed on the basis of the original.
Outside the looming golden hoop stick in the original icon, including Sun Hao's silhouette, there was something like a ribbon wrapped around it.
There are also two layers of moral in this, one is that among the many images of Sun Wukong, one of the classic is the armor wrapped in red ribbons.
On the other hand, it represents the silky sense of Dove.
Coupled with the image of Sun Hao's shooter, it can be said that it is seamlessly integrated and indulgent.
From the image of the sneaker to the logo detail, Adi is far more serious about this sneaker than ever.
This is also completely understandable.
For example, if Duncan had played his entire career with the Lakers instead of the Spurs, his commercial value would have far exceeded history.
Similarly, if Sun Hao stays with the Mavericks, his commercial value will be greatly limited.
However, now everything has changed, and Sun Hao has arrived in Los Angeles.
Just like those endorsements that followed, the articles that Adi was able to do on him were naturally bigger!
