The team's trip to China was a complete success, and there were thousands of empty alleys everywhere they went. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
On the last day, Li Dong took the magic players to have a good time in Beijing, speaking of the capital, but in fact, he has not been here a few times, but he seems to be very familiar, and he has done his best to be a landlord.
Later, Li Dong parted ways with the Magic players, and he and his agent team met with Nike's team to get a certain understanding of the overall process of the Asian trip.
The first stop on the Asian tour is Tokyo, Japan.
Tokyo is known as the largest city in Asia, with a large population and a thriving economy. The Tokyo metropolitan area is the largest metropolitan area in the world, with a population of nearly 30 million people, and the dense and complex rail transportation system is the first impression.
Nike arranged for Li Dong's personal business activities in Tokyo, apparently because of the city's obvious huge market.
And strangely, as a Chinese, Li Dong's influence in Japan is not small, and in Japan, he also has a group of fans who like him and follow him.
Ginza business district, outside a large shopping mall.
Nike contacted local staff to set up a temporary outdoor court for Li Dong, and the entire field was surrounded by a ring, just around half of the basketball court.
"What's the event today?" Li Dong was lazy, and his continuous business activities made him a little tired.
The person in charge of Nike following Li Dong is a blonde and blue-eyed white beauty, about thirty years old, wearing a professional woman's suit, looking capable and energetic.
"Today is a few outdoor basketball activities, and there will be heads-up with fans, you can do it, right?"
"Annie, don't doubt my abilities!" Li Dong looked dissatisfied, although this beautiful official of Nike was beautiful, she always had a serious expression and was not cute at all.
"I shouldn't just choose fans to come up, we have arranged for you to be the main attacker of SomeCity, a relatively hot street team here in Tokyo, Japan, don't be careless." Anne instructed. But when it came to the last sentence, it didn't sound like an exhortation.
Li Dong snorted, the little woman didn't understand his power at all, and he didn't bother to explain.
Anne squinted and secretly glanced at Li Dong. Seeing the young boy sulking there, the corners of his mouth slightly revealed a beautiful upward arc.
After a while, fans gathered on the edge of the venue, and the number of fans was so large that the rectification mall was immediately flooded. The security guards who came out of the mall wiped the sweat from their heads. Constantly receive instructions from the intercom to adjust and select security measures.
Li Dong sat on a stool, on his feet is a series of basketball shoes specially launched by Nike for his summer Asian tour, yellow on a gray background, outlined in the front edge, and the middle and high tops support the even calves, even if he sits on the bench in his pants, you can see his slender and powerful figure.
In the distance, a few men dressed in hip-hop short-sleeved shirts and shiny silver charms walked down the path.
Shouts of "SomeTime, SomeTime" rang out from the side. Li Dong probably knew that it should be the legendary fan who challenged him.
Streetball, Li Dong has also been in contact with it.
On the eve of graduating from high school and attending Syracuse University, when he and Wesley Johnson received special training from Black Jack in March, they often went to Rock Park to play some streetball games, which were all passerby, but also enriched his basketball boundaries.
The biggest difference between professional games and street ball is that one is aimed at winning and unscrupulous means to achieve the goal, and the other is aimed at passing people, and the audience applauds more enthusiastically. The more street players play, the more fun they get.
And when a lively hip-hop dance was staged on the spot, and hip-hop music erupted from the stereo, everyone's emotions were unconsciously infected.
The Japanese streetball player walked over, and Li Dong looked up. He doesn't look too tall, and the tallest one may be more than one meter nine, which is not a small gap with him.
The tallest street player, perhaps the heart of the team, has a beard. There are unknown tattoos on the arms, and it looks like there are some muscles and a few pounds.
"That's K-TA, the leader of Japanese streetball, and although he is 35 years old this year, it is said that AND1 is interested in signing him." Anne whispered in Li Dong's ear, exhaling like an orchid, and the unique smell mixed with the scent of Michigan Lake Qinlan penetrated into his nostrils, like a cat scratching, haunting his heart.
Li Dong tilted his head and responded in a daze: "Is it, very strong?" ”
The famous K-TA street player and the other street players in SomeCity looked at Li Dong, who was still sitting there, not standing up to greet them, which made the proud K-TA have a vague trace of dissatisfaction and anger in his eyes.
"This guy ...... It's so arrogant...... "K-TA's head feels like it's on fire, he doesn't think NBA players can be as strong as they are on the street court, you know, even if it's as strong as Kobe Bryant, he once touched a nose in Rock Park.
They are the stars of two systems, why can he make so much money, and why does he look like Lao Tzu is the best in the world? K-TA thought hatefully, feeling more and more jealous and dissatisfied.
The host walked up to the venue in Hokkaido's accentuated Japanese, and after a chatter, the audience burst into cheers.
"Li Dong, he said, you will spend an hour of basketball time with the fans here, and you will soon have a wonderful one-on-one streetball bullfight!" Anne spoke smoothly.
Li Dong showed a hint of surprise, "You still understand Japanese?" ”
Anne was very calm, and her tone was consistent, "This is nothing unusual, I am the head of Nike commercial activities in Japan, and I don't know Japanese, how can I work?" ”
Li Dong was choked and speechless, touched his nose and pouted.
In the cheers of the host and the audience on the side, Li Dong walked onto the field, and out of nowhere, the host found a black and red basketball.
Li Dong took the basketball and touched it, the texture of the ball was not bad, but it was not leather, it felt like a PU ball.
Li Dong couldn't hear what the host said, but he felt like he was very lively, and he always had a faint smile on his face, like a spring breeze.
Finally, after waiting for a long time, the audience applauded, and the tall street player walked under the basket, wearing a red Bulls jersey, showing that he was a Jordan fan.
Li Dong didn't understand Japanese, and K-TA wouldn't communicate with Li Dong, so the two of them just politely made a high-five and shoulder bump on the street court.
"Okay, then, let's look forward to it, the bullfight begins!" The host was enthusiastic, and the surrounding media collectively pushed back, leaving room for the two to go head-to-head.
Li Dong knew that he could start, so he took the ball and passed it to K-TA, K-TA pushed it with both hands, and the basketball rebounded into Li Dong's hand after smashing on the ground, and the bullfight officially began!
