Chapter 152 The world's point guard, only Russell and Jackel
The Oklahoma City Thunder have been on a roll this season, and after several seasons of fermentation, the talent they have hoarded has finally reaped a fruitful harvest.
Kevin Durant has surpassed Carmelo Anthony this season and became the second small forward in the league. As the youngest back-to-back scoring champion in history, many people have high hopes for him and believe that he will become the new ruler of the league.
In fact, in many official promotions of the league, his name is only ranked behind Kobe and James. He is already the third most powerful figure in the league today.
He also finished second in the regular season MVP voting this season, losing to Derrick Rose.
A point guard who is so good that even the wind can't catch up with him, he led the Chicago Bulls to the first record in the Eastern Conference, and he led the team with a single core, which was outrageous.
Therefore, Rose won the regular season MVP with an unquestionable record. He is the biggest dark horse and the most shining superstar in the NBA this season.
Fan Xi is the second best, and Fan Xi is the son of a miracle. The difference between Fan Xi and Derrick Rose is that people knew that Rose was very powerful, but they didn't expect him to be so powerful. Fan Xi was that people never thought he would be so powerful.
, and it turned out that he was so powerful.
Rose has entered the realm of superstars, and starting from next season, his name will inevitably enter the top five discussion lists in the league. Fanci, on the other hand, still has a long way to go.
Because he is not the absolute leader of a team yet.
Westbrook is very, very depressed about this matter. He and Derrick Rose have similar playing styles. Both of them play in a wide-open style. Both are famous for their physical fitness, extremely fast, and extremely explosive.
, his body control ability is very strong, his jumping ability is like thunder, and his endurance is amazing... Returning is like setting off.
These are the common advantages that describe them.
However, Rose has become the NBA's most watched superstar, and he has won one of the most supreme honors for a player: regular season MVP.
Westbrook is still empty-handed and is considered second fiddle to Kevin Durant.
This makes the proud and arrogant Master Wei always feel uncomfortable.
He felt that if he and Rose were in a different position, he might do better than Rose.
Yesterday, he was on the phone with Fanci. At that time, the national media was reporting overwhelmingly that Taylor Swift kicked Joe Jonas.
He took this opportunity to care about Fan Xi.
But the conversation was more about things in today's point guard circle.
"Nash Kidd is old. Tony Parker only knows how to spin the top."
"Chris Paul, the so-called genius of the generation, is just a sticky ball in name only. When the critical moment comes, what use is he?"
"Deron Williams only knows two directions and knows how to pick and roll. Now his physical fitness is declining and he will leave the league soon."
"What else is there about La Garondo? A martial artist who can't even shoot."
"Even though Derrick Rose is so aggressive now, his style of play cannot last long. Therefore, the only point guards in the world who can persist to the end and stand on the top of the mountain are Jack and Russell!"
Westbrook gave Fanci a high hat.
He thought so from the bottom of his heart.
Of course Fan Xi did not pretend to be afraid of thunder and shook off his phone. After all, this was not a conversation between Cao Cao and Liu Bei.
"What you said makes sense, Russell." Fan Xi followed Master Wei's words and said, "I think so too, but we have to add my good brother Stephen, who will be very strong in the future."
"Steph? Which Steph?" Westbrook asked in surprise. There are indeed many point guards named Steph in the league who played very well, but aren't they all in the past? Two-time regular season MVP Stephen Nash, the self-proclaimed No. 1 in the world
1. Point guard Stephon Marbury.
Fan Xi smiled and said: "Stephen Curry. My college alumnus, he is now the boss of the Golden State Warriors."
"I'm serious to you." Westbrook frowned.
"I'm not joking either." Fan Xi was also very serious.
Then, the two of them stopped talking. "You are a bit boring."
Westbrook hung up the phone.
He feels that Stephen Curry is just a three-point shooter with average athletic ability, and he is not at the same level as him. Even he is far different from Jack.
How can it be compared with ours.
"Russell! Russell!"
Head coach Scott Brooks brought Westbrook back from his wandering thoughts. Brooks is a very conscientious head coach. He always does double or even triple the work of other head coaches before the game. He works very hard.
After arriving in Los Angeles, he and the coaching team continued to talk to the players.
Today it's Westbrook.
"Did you watch Jack's highlights? Did you notice that?"
Scott said in detail: "Jack's physical fitness is somewhat similar to yours. He is also extremely fast, has top explosive power, and has very skilled ball-handling skills. Moreover, his coordination and strength are very good.
"
"But, in my mind, his physical fitness is still not as good as yours. He has many amazing talents, but there are also many talents that are mediocre, such as agility, hand-eye coordination, reaction speed...many hidden talents are not as good, and his physical fitness
It’s not as abundant as yours. So, you have to work hard in these areas.”
Scott Brooks carefully analyzed the pros and cons of Fanshie with Westbrook. He also specifically emphasized: "What makes Jack better than you is his off-ball shooting and his calm mind. Russell,
When facing him, you must stay calm!"
Westbrook seemed nonchalant.
He thinks he is very clear about the comparison of the pros and cons between himself and Fan Xi. He almost vomited after watching Fan Xi's video tape. He feels that it is not a big problem for him to beat up Jack. Although the relationship is very good, but... how could Jack resist me?
This full body impact?
…
The day before the start of the Western Conference Finals, Fanshie's sneakers were officially released and released simultaneously worldwide.
The popularity of fanx-one in Asia is predictable. Fanxi's status in Asia has long been equal to that of Michael Jordan. In any corner with yellow skin, he is worshiped, just like Liu Xiang in 2004, sweeping the film industry.
Bruce Lee and Jackie Chan.
In the East Asian market, fanx-one shoes are hard to find, scalpers have become a common practice, and media reports are overwhelming.
What makes Fanx brand and Nike dismayed is that on the streets of New York, there is a queue of more than 1,000 meters in front of the store. Even when LeBron James' signature shoes are on sale, there is no such scene, unless it is for those special ones.
Only popular and limited-edition joint models can have this effect.
"As a New Yorker, it's hard for me not to like Jack. He is a basketball wizard. He is not omnipotent, but he is always unexpected, just like my freestyle. He is also a trendsetter in the fashion circle, and his outfits are always online.
, and he also has coveted charm, so many super female stars are chasing him, if I don’t have a pair of his sneakers, my entire hipster circle will laugh at me.”
When the reporter went to interview a black man who was dressed very fashionably, he expressed his love for Fan Xi in a barrage of speeches.
A white man wearing a New York jersey said: "I hope he comes to New York City to save us. We need a miracle. We have been corrupted for too long, so we have to wear his sneakers. I want to tell him that New York welcomes him."
"Taylor's kick infected us. We all need to wear a pair of sneakers that make self-righteous men pay the price. This is our latest fashion!" The two girls expressed their reasons in an interview.
"..."
It can be said that on the streets of New York, you can find dozens of reasons to buy, and they are still so sufficient.
This shows how widespread Fan Xi’s influence is.
This is a star that the NBA has never had. If you have to find a similar star, you can only look for him in football. Beckham is a bit like him.
The sales data of New York City on the East Coast are so booming, as you can imagine in Los Angeles on the West Coast.
This is Fan Xi's base camp.
This is not only the hometown of the Lakers, but also the stronghold of Hollywood.
There are a total of 19 stores in Los Angeles that sell Fanci's sneakers, and there are surprisingly long queues outside each store. More than 30% of the people lining up here are wearing Fanci's No. 10 jersey.
Lakers fans feel strongly about wearing Vandens shoes to watch the Western Conference Finals.
In the evening, the sneaker sales data for the day had not yet been released.
But TV is already frantically reporting on the sensational impact of this release.
Although some commentators pointed out sourly, Fanci's sneakers are not widely distributed this time.
However, what Fan Xi knows is that the first batch of 280,000 pairs of shoes in North America has been nearly sold out. The remaining ones are either too big or too small, but basically they can be completely digested within a week. This batch
The shoes were originally planned to be sold until the start of the new season.
Who knew...overnight!!!
And the number of users who have left deposits exceeds 100,000.
Based on the average price of 180 US dollars per pair of Vandenheede sneakers, the sales volume has exceeded 50 million US dollars.
This sales figure is enough to scare James. James is the dominant player in the field of sneakers in North America. His signature shoes are sold for about US$300 million every year, and the price of his sneakers is forty or fifty US dollars higher than that of Vandenheede.
To put it more intuitively, Kobe Bryant's total sneaker sales last year were US$78 million, and Kevin Durant's was US$79 million.
This means that Fanci may only need two weekends. As long as Fanci’s sneakers are produced in time, he can surpass Kobe and Durant.
hiss!
Fan Xi clearly heard the chairman of Nike gasping in front of him. He had thought that Fan Xi was a cash cow, but he never dreamed that he could make money like this.
If I had known... If I had known if I had spent another 200 million U.S. dollars, even if I were to increase my shares by 10%, I would have made a lot of money.
Fanshi's sales figures quickly reached the ears of the league's top stars.
When Kobe Bryant heard this, he was stunned for a moment and felt a little disappointed, but then he became happy for Fan Xi.
His loss is a reflection of his true self. No one can calmly accept that his little brother will surpass him in business.
Joy is a manifestation of the superego. He knows that the better Fan Xi is, the better he will be. The more money Fan Xi makes, the greater motivation he has to pursue victory and help himself win three consecutive championships.
When Durant heard the news, he was stunned for about 10 seconds. Then he asked his assistant to hand him the computer, and he began to calculate how much Fan Xi could earn from it.
Fan Xi owns shares and has guaranteed endorsements, and Fan Xi and his parents together have absolute, absolute control, with Nike only holding a small part.
Moreover, according to this trend, Wall Street funds will inevitably enter the market to inject capital, and Nike's shares will be further diluted.
Jack is very likely to become the richest NBA player among active players with this. Although it will take some time for his sales data to catch up with James, James is just a wage earner.
When James heard the news, his whole facial features were distorted. He was in too much pain.
He has been pursuing excellence all his life, and he tattooed the chosen-one on his body to show the nobility and uniqueness of his chosen son.
But now, in the business field where he is best at, he was hit hard by Fan Xi.
"This must be the result of that hype. With so many top-tier female celebrities bringing goods for him and beating people for him, he must have received some dividends. If you give him another chance, he will definitely not be able to do it."
James said angrily, "He is just an idol."
His agent nodded repeatedly beside him.
Obey the will of King James.
"If he loses in the Western Conference Finals, he will definitely be forgotten. Now those financial giants who are waving checks and want to come in and make a fortune will definitely turn their guns and eat him up."
"Without strength, it will always be just a flash in the pan."
James continued.
But what do these words mean? At least they cannot affect the present.
…
Joe Jonas was greatly affected. He previously disparaged Fanci, saying that Fanci made money by playing basketball and that this job had no future. But when Fanci's sneakers became a hit, he was immediately ridiculed by the media.
The Hollywood Chronicle satirized him: "The money Jack Fan makes in one night is enough for Joe Jonas's career for the past ten years. Don't forget, Jack also has brand gain."
The sports media added insult to injury and ridiculed Joe Jonas, which for a while further promoted the popularity of Vandenheede sneakers.
This has never been seen before.
David Stern was stunned.
He told Vice President Silver: "I never dreamed that I would meet such a phenomenal star before I retired. Jack's commercial value reminded me of Jordan at his peak."
There is no doubt that this incident is changing many of the original established thinking.
And Fan Xi also faced the challenge of the Western Conference Finals.
