Chapter 198: Crisis

Judy Annette had already said that she would go with her to check, and Akalie naturally went with her.

Fortunately, Pete Smith was on the side, and nothing too embarrassing happened to Li Tian, and several people came to the agreed place with Hayden smoothly.

When Hayden was examining Li Tian, the outside world was also extremely concerned about Li Tian's injury, in addition to the most concerned Chinese fans, many industry insiders were also paying attention, and the key to this was the time of Li Tian's injury.

At this time, there are only 10 days until the All-Star Weekend, which means that if Li Tian is unable to participate in the game within 10 days, he will not be able to attend the All-Star Weekend.

These are all topics of concern to the outside world, and before that, Li Tian's injury is a prerequisite to be determined.

With so much attention from the outside world, Li Tian's final test results finally came out.

As judged the day before, Eric Hayden confirmed that Li Tian had a sprained ankle after completing a final test of Li Tian, and the recovery time is 2 to 3 weeks, which means that Li Tian will miss the four games of the Kings before the All-Star Weekend, as well as the entire All-Star Weekend.

The news of the media reporters is extremely well-informed, and the results have just come out and have been spread in the outside world, but the king official did not release the news for the first time, at this time, Li Tian and Pete Smith, Eric Hayden, Adelman, Divac and others are sitting together discussing this issue.

"Mr. Eric, I want to make sure again that Lee is likely to recover in 10 days, or 12 days, and he just needs to play in the All-Star Game."

Pete Smith's eyes were fixed on Eric Hayden, wanting to hear a similar answer from the other person's mouth.

Unable to attend All-Star Weekend. In Pete Smith's view, it is a huge loss for Li Tian, after all, it represents an honor to be on such a stage, not to mention that Li Tian has been confirmed as an All-Star starter.

The All-Star is a big stage that basketball fans around the world are paying attention to, not just Chinese fans, if not able to attend. Pete knew that this would have an impact on Li Tian's commercial value.

In fact, just before that, Pete Smith had already received a call from Adidas, and after asking about Li Tian's injury, they also revealed their hope that Li Tian could participate in the All-Star Weekend.

It was clear to Lee why Pete Smith was asking, but he didn't interject, and his eyes were also on Eric Hayden, for an opportunity like All-Star Weekend. Li Tian said that it was impossible not to participate, but he was obviously not as eager as Pete Smith, and he needed to get analysis and advice from Eric Hayden first.

Eric Hayden groaned slightly after listening to Pete Smith's words, and then shook his head slightly and said: "I am not optimistic that Lee will fully recover within 12 days, in fact, two weeks is already my most conservative estimate, if it is a normal recovery, the time should be between 2 and 3 weeks." ”

"Of course, if Lee's recovery is better than we thought. It's not impossible to attend All-Star Weekend. After all, the All-Star rivalry isn't intense, and he might be able to play at that time, but he may need an extra week off in the future. ”

"This is in the case of an accident that has worsened the injury, and as a doctor, my advice as a doctor is to wait until he is fully recovered and observe for a few days before returning to the game."

Eric Hayden gave his full analysis and advice, and Pete Smith fell into a deep groan after listening. Of course, he could tell that Hayden was actually not very much in favor of Li Tian participating in All-Star Weekend.

Just when Li Tian decided to talk to Pete Smith about his thoughts, Pete Smith had already turned his head to Li Tian and said, "Li, I agree with Mr. Eric's suggestion, what do you think?" ”

"Pete, I was trying to discuss this with you." Li Tian nodded at this time and said, "Yes." I agreed to give up on All-Star Weekend, and I thought a healthy body was what would allow me to show my value on the court and in business. ”

After Li Tian said this, the matter was basically completely determined, Adelman then said that Li Tian entered the injury watch list in the next few games, and Divac also officially announced Li Tian's injury after communicating with the NBA official.

"Li Tian was diagnosed with a sprained left ankle and needs 2 to 3 weeks of recovery."

Immediately afterward, the league officially released a message saying: "Because of injury, Kings player Li Tian, who won the All-Star West vote as the starting guard, will miss the All-Star weekend." ”

As soon as these two official announcements were announced, they immediately attracted the attention of many fans, some regretted, some worried, some applauded, and some gloated......

In China, Li Tian's fans have expressed regret, after all, Li Tian was able to enter the All-Star starter Chinese fans' voting is a great credit, they put Li Tian into the All-Star starter with one vote, but Li Tian was injured before the All-Star Game and could not play, which is undoubtedly a great pity for them.

In foreign countries, it is obvious that not all fans will think like this, especially those fans who were originally very dissatisfied with Li Tian's entry into the All-Star starting lineup, and they applauded at this time.

"Although we don't want to see any players get hurt, but this is a very good thing for the Kings players, and getting an All-Star start doesn't mean that he has won the approval of the fans, and relying on the large number of Chinese fans to get into the All-Star starter is not fair to the rest of the players."

"It's a shame that we didn't have a way to see how much the fans who supported him when he didn't play well at the All-Star Game were, and luckily, we finally didn't have to see him play poorly on the court."

It is not only the fans who have these two extreme views who are concerned about Li Tian's exit from the All-Star Game, but also some fans who originally had a neutral attitude towards Li Tian's entry into the All-Star starter are more concerned about who will replace Li Tian to enter the All-Star Game, and then after Li Tian withdraws, who will enter the starting lineup in the West.

Of course, there are also many good people who have focused on Li Tian's signing with Adidas, and have expressed their opinions.

In China, the vast majority of people complain about Adidas.

"It's been less than a month since I put on Adi's shoes, and Li Tian was really injured, and I can't complain!"

"Is this the fulfillment of Adi's spell, but will Li Tian get hurt too quickly, it's only been less than a month."

"When Li Tian signed Adi, I said that I had a bad premonition, but I didn't expect me to be in the middle of the language."

…………

The horror of the Internet lies in the expansion of the three people into tigers, when there is such a voice on the Internet, it immediately spreads rapidly, and some people even start to do investigations on communication platforms such as Baidu Tieba:

"When Li Tian fulfilled Adi's curse and was injured, are you still willing to wear Adi's shoes?"

In the responses, some people felt that the two could not be confused, while more voices expressed their reluctance to wear them again.

Some of these voices may be intentional from competitors, some are fans of other brands of sneakers, and others are fans of Li Tian, because Li Tian unexpectedly withdrew from the All-Star Game, and they vented such regrets and dissatisfaction into Li Tian's sneakers.

No one knew the original purpose of the person who sent out such an investigation, but it is clear that such a discussion caused a huge repercussion with the help of people with good intentions, and quickly turned into a public relations crisis, a public relations crisis about Li Tian and Adidas.

"Li Tian's injury was caused by sneakers? 》

"Li Tian's injury was due to the fulfillment of Adi's curse? 》

In China, some websites began to publish such eye-catching reports.

In these reports, the authors were unable to provide any valid evidence that Li Tian's injury was related to the sneakers, but this did not prevent them from making various speculations and associations, and writing the content of the article as if the title was like a conclusion.

Adi quickly noticed the unfavorable voices on the Internet, but the problem in front of them was that many of such reports and voices were not published by regular media, and even some articles were not written by reporters.

However, if it is not clarified, allowing such a voice to spread on the Internet will have an impact on Adidas' future commercial promotion of Li Tian, and even the reputation of the Adidas brand in China.

Just when Adidas urgently contacted Li Tian to discuss how to resolve the public relations crisis caused by Li Tian's injury and fermented on the Internet, some foreign media also noticed the voices on the Chinese Internet, and some media, especially those who were not optimistic about Adidas' signing of Li Tian, began to express their doubts.

"Judging from the current situation, Adidas' signing of Chinese player Li Tian does not seem to be a very wise decision. Adidas tried to further open up the Chinese market by signing Li Tian, but it was clear that things turned out unexpectedly, and Li Tian was injured and he was unable to appear at All-Star Weekend. ”

"To make matters worse, after Li Tian's injury, some angry Chinese fans blamed it all on Adidas' shoes, and the blind following of the Chinese caused China to rise up a storm against Adidas at this time."

And this is only the first time Li Tian has been injured, and as time goes by, Li Tian's weak physical fitness and physical confrontation will likely make him suffer frequent injuries, which is a problem that Adidas has to face. Perhaps Adi's top brass will soon discover that their choice to sign Li Tian did not achieve their intention of expanding the Chinese market, but instead achieved the opposite effect. ”

When domestic fans were angry with Adidas because of Li Tian's injury, such a voice came out and spread to China, causing further anger among fans.

"It's not wise for Adidas to sign Li Tian, and it's not uncommon for us to sign a contract."

"While it hasn't been ruined by Adidas, Li Tian quickly changed his sneakers." (To be continued......)
