The direct impact of this incident is that players from other national teams have discovered that Chinese-made shoes are no worse than those of international brands. They are all young people, and there are still many people who like to pursue new trends. It looks like a relatively high-end brand of shoes is also good.

The indirect impact is that through this incident, Wacker Company found that it is easier to enter the emerging markets such as Europe and the United States than mature markets such as Europe and the United States. Originally, according to their product promotion plan, the first priority was to occupy the domestic market, and then rely on Stephen's The influence began to expand to other Asian countries, while testing the North American market on a small scale.

In China, it is an aggressive marketing, and in other Asian countries, it is a gradual promotion. In North America, it is mainly to gain a firm foothold. First, establish a foothold in the cities of San Antonio, Seattle, Los Angeles, and Houston. These cities are basically related to Stephen, and these cities are also relatively close to China.

Wacker Company basically didn't think about the needs of Russia, Eastern European countries, and African regions, because the markets there are usually relatively closed, and the consumption capacity is insufficient, so it is not worth exploring the markets there.

But through this incident, Wake Company found that although such an emerging market is difficult to enter, once entered, the market development is easier than other regions, and there is Stephen's influence.

Not to mention the advantage that Wake Company took in this matter, even Stephen's reputation has expanded in the circle of basketball, which is big or small. Sometimes reputation is useless, and sometimes Fame is a precious wealth.

According to the schedule, after finishing the Stankovic Intercontinental Champions Cup, the Chinese national team will relocate to another city to prepare for the Diamond Cup. After finishing the Diamond Cup, rest for a few days before the Olympics begin So now there is only one Diamond Cup left for the warm-up match of the national team.

The Diamond Cup is also called the FIBA ​​Intercontinental Basketball Tournament. It is an official event organized by the FIBA. It belongs to the same level as the Olympic Games and the World Championships. It is held every four years. It is scheduled before the Olympic Games. Warm-up match.

The nature of the participating teams is similar to that of the Stankovic Cup. They are also the championship champions and specially invited teams from all continents. The specially invited teams are usually the Olympic hosts, Olympic champions, world champions or defending champions of the Diamond Cup.

This year's participating teams are composed of six teams, namely the Americas Championship champion Argentina, the African Championship champion Angola, the Oceania Championship champion Australia and the Asian Championship champion Iran. Part of Serbia and Montenegro played in this tournament.

In fact, compared with the participating teams in the Stankovic Cup, there are more Iranian teams, Argentina teams and Australian teams, and less Russian teams. The team was divided into a group with Australia and Angola.

Since these teams are all participating in the Olympic Games, this is also the main way to gain the experience of direct strikers of these opponent teams. Before the start of the game, the Chinese national team stayed in the original city and There is no rush to meet with other teams.

This is because Jonas is still making further adjustments to the lineup and tactics. In addition, he has also made certain adjustments to the national team's lineup, replacing two players who have been performing poorly and replacing them with two new players. In terms of tactics, the team's regular tactics include Stephen and Yao Ming's pick-and-roll cooperation, as well as corner three-pointers.

This is also formulated with reference to the tactics of the Spurs, and Stephen and Yao Ming's sense of pick-and-roll cooperation is much better than others. Made specific regulations.

The tactics are simple and effective, and it is conducive to cooperation. At the same time, in response to the problems of the team and various players in the previous games, Jonas briefly analyzed the key points of the video, and conducted individual training for everyone.

During the emergency preparations here, Presti over there was not idle. After Kurt Thomas' contract expired, Presti kept in touch with the other party and wanted to sign Kurt Thomas back, but it was a pity Kurt Thomas' asking price was too high.

Kurt Thomas' performance this season is not bad, and he has made a great contribution to the team. This has also increased the capital for Kurt Thomas' asking price. Kurt Thomas did not expect the 35-year-old himself to get 800 million. contract, but at least it should be above the middle class, and the contract period should be three years or more.

For old players of his age, most teams are unwilling to give long-term contracts, because you don't know when their status will decline, so Presti has always only agreed to sign a two-year contract with him, and The contract amount is only less than 400 million US dollars per year.

Even if Kurt Thomas wanted to return to the Sonics, he would not accept such a contract because it was too far from what he had expected. Therefore, the two sides have been at a stalemate, and no one is willing to take the lead. Knowing enough information, Stephen called Kurt Thomas, only to receive an automatic reply that the owner had gone on vacation.

Originally, the inside line had strengths like Coupard, Wilcox, and Nick Collinson, and then Jeffries was attracted through a trade. They need a veteran with enough experience to lead them inside, so Presti aimed at Kurt Thomas.

In addition to trying to sign Kurt Thomas, Presti has been preparing to send away Luc Crednor or Earl Watson, but the results are not very satisfactory. All teams know that at the beginning of the season, Facing the point guard lineup of Watson Garrett Noga Westbrook, the Sonics must have no way to arrange.

So they are not in a hurry to trade with the Sonics, but have a better idea, but Presti is also very patient, so the trade about Ridnour also stopped after a short period of progress down.

Watching other teams gradually strengthen, Stephen was indeed anxious, but he also knew that these things were not urgent until one day he suddenly received a text message from Kurt Thomas. The text message was very simple. I'm sorry, Stephen knows that there must be a problem with the team's negotiation with him, and he will probably not appear in the team next season.

Sure enough, Stephen received a notification from Presti later. Since Kurt Thomas insisted on not giving up his asking price, the team has officially made a decision to abandon the negotiation with him and look for new targets.

At this time, Presti suddenly received offers from Denver Nuggets and Houston Rockets. Shot, the Rockets hope to be able to trade Alston, because after the trade to Artest, their salary expenditure is close to the luxury tax incentive line.

Originally, players like Iverson had to avoid the teams in the same district when trading, and it was really surprising that they didn't fall into the door-to-door sales. However, after careful consideration, Presti still refused. In this transaction, Iverson's ability and state are not bad, but his arrival can easily break the current balance of the Sonics.

In fact, the Rockets also secretly sold McGrady, but unfortunately their asking price was higher, and McGrady's physical condition made people even more worried.
