Chapter 262: Boost
"Hello, Mr. Van Gundy, do you remember how you assured the fans and the media? When are you going to step down as a coach now? ”
As soon as the game ended, almost all the long guns and short cannons were aimed at the big Van Gundy alone, as the saying goes, he had to pay it back, this time he couldn't even shake the pot, Howard and Turkogru, who were present together like a wooden man next to him, not to mention how happy they were, at the press conference at the end of the first game, how the bald man was to himself, but they remember it vividly, and now it's really not that he doesn't report it, but the time has not come.
Whatever I do, these are blind reports by a group of irresponsible reporters like Nima, I haven't pursued you for spreading rumors and slander, you have the ability to report it with a recording by the way!
But these are the words that Fan Bald thinks in his heart, now he must try his best to avoid conflicts with the media, the team and reporters are like this, if you play well, you can completely ignore those paparazzi, but once you play badly, those reporters are your father, you have to count on them to help you say good things in public, otherwise who knows how they will pour dirty water on themselves? Perhaps, as they said, not only will this job be lost, but his reputation will also stink, and his entire coaching career may be reimbursed
"The problem is on our whole team, we still haven't regained our form in the Cavaliers series, but I want to say that losing two home games, being 2-0 down is not the end of the world, the whole series is not over, we only need to win four games to advance to the next round, as long as we can get back to form, four games is not difficult for us as a team."
Big Van Gundy tried to give confidence to those reporters in a different way.
"Remember when we had the last series? We also played hard, we came close to being eliminated, but we came back and beat James' Cleveland to make it to the next round, so why is this series so impatient when the fans can give us confidence in the last round? I would say that time will tell, we are not so easily defeated! ”
Fan Bald finished another burst of mouth cannons, but this time he said empty words without any dry goods, can the last round of the series be the same as this round? No matter how bad the last round of magic is, they didn't lose their two home courts, but this will be good, giving the Green Shirts who are ranked behind them in the regular season a counterattack, there are very few examples in the history of the playoffs that can turn the tables 0:2, especially if they lose two home games in a row, the Heat turned the tables in the finals in 06 because the first two games were played in Dallas, so it can be seen that no matter how much Van Gundy's mouth can turn over the flowers, it can't change the fact that the magic is cool.
"I don't want to hear you say so many excuses, I just want to know how the Magic lost? Is it a technical and tactical reason or a coach's on-the-spot command? Is there anything you'd like to apologize to the fans? We did a short poll online after this game loss, and 90% of Orlando fans wanted you to get out of class, what do you think about that? ”
But today's reporters don't buy this account, a few sharp-tongued reporters hit the nail on the head and put forward fatal questions, and Fan Bald was speechless.
"I'm sorry, for the first question you said, it is a confidential internal team, please forgive me for not being able to tell you the details, we will summarize it internally after the game, as for the second question you said, those fans who don't want to support the Orlando Magic team let them support others, we have a total of 100,000 loyal fans who love magic in Orlando, and there will be no shortage of dozens of them."
After saying this, the big Van Gundy then kept silent, let the reporter ask the east, west, north and south winds, he stood still alone, and when the time of the press conference was over, Van Gundy immediately ran back to the players' tunnel as if fleeing for his life, in the eyes of all reporters, he was the big Van Gundy magic coach This road is also considered to be exhausted, and now it is a boiled duck, only a hard mouth remains.
The Magic side is stormy, but the Houston side is a sunny day, especially for the Totoro who returned to Houston, not to mention how happy he is, it's just a fellow with tears in his eyes when he sees his fellow countryman.
Totoro does have feelings for Houston, a city with a very developed aerospace industry, and now he has become a celebrity for 2.2 million people in the entire city, in fact, the situation in Texas is the same, not only the Spurs are small, but the Rockets originally did not have many people who loved basketball, and those blue-collar workers received a small salary every month and had to eat, who had to waste effort on tickets? So much so that in the past, the seats in the Toyota Center were always empty, and there were more people than sitting.
But he has the ability, to put it mildly, he single-handedly made the entire Houston people fall in love with the sport of basketball, the working class likes to watch the blood, his blood-pumping dunk can best meet their appetite, some like to watch literature and art? My Neighbor Totoro's picturesque three-point jumper isn't an ornament, but what if there are still some women who don't like to watch basketball? It doesn't matter, our chinchilla has grown a handsome face, and it's not a loss for you to come over and take a look at your appearance, right?
In addition, after replacing the Chinese boss, Totoro also vigorously cooperated with Wanda Group, he is now a small boss, with his own artist company, game company and agent company, NBA orders stipulate that players who play cannot meddle in the team's internal affairs, nor can they enter an NBA team as an executive, but it does not say that NBA players cannot be their own bosses, and they cannot cooperate with the team in the form of sponsors.
My Neighbor Totoro took advantage of this loophole, like what came to Team Rocket to watch the game with a ticket for a free lottery, rewarding the skin and peripherals of the League of Legends, a game company acquired for himself, and the Dragonborn Cave Arena will have its own actors from the artist company to perform whenever it is resting, enriching the entertainment factor, for example, Lin Yuner, who had a little scandal with Totoro some time ago, has now resolutely bought out the contract with SM Entertainment Company and invested in Totoro Entertainment Co., Ltd., and Totoro is also interesting enough for this Nizi, Although it is impossible to be like the few Nizi around him in the physical and mental rain and dew, but in the action of making her popular, My Neighbor Totoro has not made any less moves, but if you really want to say that he is doing his best, I can't say it, after all, it is a girl from a Korean stick, Totoro always has a pimple in his heart, he has always thought that female stars, people who are beautiful and sing beautifully, how many people should be in Asia, but there is a relationship between channel red and no channel red, and it is better to develop and develop the girl of your own country if you have time to engage in stick girls, In the next few years, the debut of the girl group will be popular for a few years, than SNH48, which will not be established until 2012, and now he has a way to copy this model in advance, and first select a group of national beautiful girls to make them popular.
Of course, this is all an afterthought, he is doing this to attract popularity to Houston basketball, and secondly, to start the name of his company, which is originally a mutually beneficial thing, it is said that the new owner of the Rockets is very optimistic about Totoro, and feels that he is not only a literary artist who has been delayed by basketball, but also a businessman who has been delayed by basketball.
It's just that, then again, he returned to Houston to be happy, not all to see this high-rise city happy, but in his villa there are four or five hungry little waiting for him, although Totoro thinks they won't be much lonely, after all, they are all bent, and they don't have the same nourishment as their own little life.
"Well, Totoro, the Adidas guy is here again, and he wants you to take some time to meet with them, and it looks like there's some new technology coming out."
At the end of the session, as soon as Totoro got home and didn't take off his shoes, Bugai came out of the villa, threw a document in Totoro's face, and blasted him out again.
This is Totoro's daily life, too many business contracts make him make a lot of money, but the price is that Totoro doesn't touch the ground almost every day, in addition to playing games is to help people endorse this endorsement and that, either take photos or shoot advertisements, this is still the result of Bu Jiayi pushing off most of the small endorsements, and fighting with other companies on the details of the endorsement, otherwise Totoro may not even have time to sleep.
"Well, well, I'll go."
My neighbor totoro really wanted to say "fuck it, to hell with him", and then went back to Simmons and fell asleep on the bed, but the sneakers are his most profitable contract so far, and it is one of the few brands that he has a commission for, and no one dares to snub Ada if he is snubbed, isn't it?
On the other hand, Adidas regarded Totoro as his own father, and the basketball department treated him as his own grandfather, Adidas had the opportunity to replace Nike to become the largest supplier of basketball shoes in the United States, but unfortunately they originally had Kobe Bryant, but they gave up Kobe because they wanted to sign Maddie, they originally had five tiger generals [Duncan, Garnett, Maddie, Billups, Arenas], but Arenas had a gun scandal, and Maddie fell faster than a comet, Although Billups has the title of FMVP, he can't get rid of the grassroots label, Duncan's style of play is not gorgeous, Garnett is old, look at Nike's current appearance, Kobe Bryant, James and the two of them have compared all the five superstars, how can Ada live?
But Totoro's airborne has reversed the situation, on age, Totoro is younger, on the style of the ball, Totoro is a combination of elegance and violence, on appearance, even in the eyes of Americans, Totoro is the representative of the NBA's appearance, on influence, billions of people throughout Asia pay for him, and now Totoro is Adidas's baby, afraid of melting in his mouth, afraid of pain in his arms, as long as Totoro says a word, Adidas can fire all the people in the entire basketball club at any time and replace a batch, That's how important Totoro is to Adidas right now.
But Totoro is also a bad boy, isn't it, although Adidas has a lot of work that has not been done properly, for example, it should be a channel for Totoro to make a name for themselves, and now they are in turn being raised by Totoro Ada's popularity, but Totoro also understands the difficulties of others, after all, the basketball board is occupied by Nike, and they have done their best, so Totoro doesn't matter.
I drove my Bugatti Veyron to a Chinese restaurant, and the other party also knew what he liked, and the place to eat was also chosen where Totoro was used to eating.
"Hey, who are you, and why haven't we ever met?"
My Neighbor Totoro came to Platform 56 according to the information given to him by the other party, but it was not the head of Adidas in Texas, but a scientific researcher wearing a white coat and heavy glasses, who he had never seen before!?
"Hello, I'm the head of the sneaker development department, my name is Van der Waal. Sweet, you can just call me VanderWaal. ”
The scientific researcher was much more excited when he saw Totoro, and stood up saluting and shaking hands, which made Totoro himself very embarrassed, and he was not a noble leader, so it was not appropriate.
"That's right, Mr. Totoro, our sneaker R&D department has recently developed a new technology, the new outsole sneaker called Boost, which means that it is intended to be used in the sneakers of the Dragonborn series, so as a representative, I would like to ask what you mean?"
"New sneaker technology, yes, if there is a finished product, you can bring it to me and try it on."
Of course, Totoro is full of promises, to tell the truth, Adidas's sneakers are really not suitable for a player like him, although the shock absorption technology has a unique secret, but it is not as good as Nike's foam shock absorption method, if it weren't for Totoro's usual attention and good core strength, he might break his own pair of knees when he jumped like this.
Now that there is new technology, he doesn't want to try it, and for the sake of his career, a good pair of sneakers is really important.
"Okay, in fact, this time, I have already brought a model shoe here, you can try them on first, but because this is an experimental shoe, the technology is not yet fully mature, please don't wear shoes to the game, and don't try any dangerous actions, you can mention any feelings and opinions to me, this is my phone number."
Van der Waal reminded very seriously that although this guy plays well, he also has a criminal record, and he wants to put on the game at the beginning of the season with sneakers that are not ready to be released, which can catch Adidas off guard.
"Okay, okay, I know, I'll wear it in my own training gym and I'm not going to wear it again."
My neighbor totoro's face fell, this is Nima, which pot is not opened, is he such a person with no business ethics? Even if you have it, you can hold it in your heart and not allow me to say it, if it spreads outside, won't it affect my prestige?
