104 Trial time
(After thinking about the plot in the previous chapter, I found that the logic was not reasonable enough, so I made some modifications.)
When he returned to the hotel, Li Zhe also noticed Adid's Twitter, and he suddenly found half a bug when he took a bite of an apple, which was both sweet and sour.
He used three-point shooting numbers to conduct marketing before, but he did not object but did not support it, because that did not affect the team's strategy. How many shots are made, and when to fully control the shots. But this time he used 30 points for marketing, he didn't care, but other teammates or Chucky Brown may have specially created offensive opportunities for him, which made the Lakers' offense easily touched by the Thunder.
Thinking of this, Li Zhe immediately called Bill Duffy and asked what was going on.
This kind of marketing campaign for famous stars must be consulted first.
After a closer conversation, it turned out that Adida was not worried about whether he could get 30 points. The main purpose was to take advantage of the fact that he currently has a lot of attention and find a gimmick to further promote the brand. Even if he didn't get 30 points, he would come up with another discount plan and write some public relations article to explain it. It can be said that he has a stable profit and will not lose money.
This marketing activity was authorized by Duffy and it has been implemented and cannot be withdrawn. Li Zhe had to give up, but he required that any marketing activity in the future be passed by him first.
Duffy naturally agreed, Li Zhe hung up the phone and turned on the computer to check the email. After reading it in one chapter, there was nothing important, so he logged into Twitter to browse the news and checked whether the important content of his Twitter was available.
After a rough browsing, Li Zhe found that many people tagged him on the same Twitter. When he was curious, he clicked over to check it out and found that there was only one link. He followed the link to open a website page with an article on it.
After a closer look, he almost confused him. The title of the article was "Lakeman Xia Lian-Jamie Lee's Experimental Paradise".
"The summer league has been played two games, and the lottery rookies have performed quite well, and some have even exceeded expectations. For example, Lakers point guard Jamie Lee, who was selected in the sixth pick..."
After reading the whole article, Li Zhe found that there were three main views: first, he accused him of playing solo, and only when he felt that his pure score was not as good as the opponent, he would consider giving assists to his teammates; second, he mocked him for hyping wherever he went, and wanted to stand at the center of the world and accept the attention of all mankind; finally, he pretended to pity other Lakers players and condemned him to use those people.
Although the title of this article is shocking, and the content of this article is Sina Guda, and the logic is as exaggerated and distorted as Mi Meng, and the logic is like generalizing with a few side effects, it has received support from many fans, and three of them have been reposted in large quantities.
"It's totally correct! Adidas marketing activities are the best proof. He will definitely take action crazy tomorrow against the Thunder."
"The Lakers' current guaranteed contract quota has exceeded 13 people. These players participating in the Summer League cannot stay, so there is no need to cooperate with him in the performance. It is best to perform with all your strength and work hard for the next training camp contract."
"Those players are not up to date, so they are invited to exercise, to dinner, and to give them sneakers to buy them easily. Even if they want to resist now, they are not upright. It's really sad and a pity."
Li Zhe sneered at it in a good manner, but the real harm was the person who wrote the article, and he decisively reported it and blocked it.
After closing the website casually, Li Zhe habitually began to study the Thunder team's lineup, hoping to find a breakthrough, but after half an hour, he felt that the Thunder lineup was almost flawless.
Westbrook has played for a year in NBA games, and his shooting may be slightly worse, but his speed and strength are absolutely superior. Moreover, he originally planned to only play Orlando Summer United, but this time he was specially played for him. It is impossible to let go, and he may even give all his strength.
Harden was the best at Shakur, Ibaka beat Baynes, and DJ White was not worse than Erlonu.
The only possible breakthrough is Livingston who returns from a serious injury and is working hard for the contract, but the player against the Lakers is Adam Morrison, which basically means that he has not taken advantage of it and can create at most a few misalignment opportunities.
The key is that the Thunder are different from the Warriors. They can all play with the ball, and it is difficult to restrict them through the means of off-going goals.
Seeing that he might be beaten up, Li Zhe decided to relieve his tension through training. He immediately turned off his computer and walked out of the room, knocking on his teammates' doors one by one, wanting to invite the whole team to the gym again.
I thought that the whole team went there happily last time, but this time they didn't go one of them, and they were still hesitating. The reason was the current editor. Eronu even deliberately lied to him that he was calling his girlfriend, but the ringtone of his cell phone suddenly rang, which made both of them very embarrassed.
At this point, Li Zhe suddenly reacted, worried that his teammates were affected by that article.
After asking, Eronu revealed the truth, and he really didn't want to be ridiculed for exercising or eating.
Unexpectedly, his kindness made a mistake. Li Zhe was very depressed, but he did not change his plan because of this. He still went to the gym to train, and at the same time he thought about how to do better in the future.
At 7 pm, Li Zhe returned to the hotel again and was about to take a shower when the phone ringed.
As soon as it was connected, Duffy rushed to ask: "Is it true that those things are discussed on Twitter?"
"What's the matter?" Li Zhe asked subconsciously.
"Your teammates don't give you face at all, you have no prestige in the team; you also say that you openly contradict the coach to stop the coach from calling for a timeout, and then arrange tactics beyond the coach to completely disrupt the team's tactical system."
Hearing this, Li Zhe was a little shocked. He went to exercise for a while and could actually produce so much news.
He immediately signaled Duffy and so on, then turned on the computer to check, and found that the criticism and ridicule of him on Twitter was as much as the time when he performed in early March. Some fans defended him, but it was like rain falling and the sea disappeared.
After browsing it roughly, Li Zhe continued: "There are some things, but the reason and essence are not like that."
There is no need to deny it, because the final effect is completely different from a different perspective. Just like an executive sending a text message to his subordinates in the middle of the night to discuss work, it can be said to be exploiting and harassing employees, or it can be said to be to strive for all efforts.
"Forget it, don't worry. Adidas' latest promise is that as long as you get 30 points, you will donate some money to charity in your name. Anyway, your teammates won't give you face, and the game is difficult to play, so you might as well just beat one. After the summer league game, you will have no contact, and you don't need to have any psychological burden. The reputation will improve after donating." Duffy said.
"Let's talk about it." Li Zhe hung up the phone.
There is the temptation of Adidas' bonus, and the teammates misunderstandings and worries inside. In addition, they are about to face the powerful enemy Thunder, Li Zhe can be said to be attacked from both sides.
He looked up and thought about how to deal with it. He was short of ideas for a while, but he asked the call to ring again.
"I noticed that you are in trouble at the moment." Kobe's voice came from the other end of the phone. "I can give you some advice."
"Please speak!" Unexpectedly, Kobe also paid attention to this matter, Li Zhe accepted it happily.
Chapter completed!
