If I were Yi Di in the NBA

Chapter 107 Signature Shoes Released

After the game, seeing his favorite star McGrady complaining about his teammates in front of reporters, Durant looked a little sad.

Yi Jian stepped forward and said: "Beat them, surpass them, and let us become a role model for young people."

Durant habitually wanted to say a few words, but finally left with a sigh.

Yi Jian talked with Yao Ming again. Everyone has their own rules on how to handle things. Yi Jian once said that Yao Ming would not accept it, so naturally he would not mention it again.

The only commonplace topic is to pay attention to injuries, and the rest are chats that do not involve basketball. After all, they will now be competitors in the playoffs.

The Thunder will go to the away game in the second game of back-to-back, and it will be another tiring day.

The season is almost halfway up to now, and many players feel fatigued.

The body is only one aspect, and so is the spirit.

Fortunately, next month's All-Star Weekend will let everyone relax a little bit.

On January 1, the Thunder came to Chicago.

The Bulls are gradually rising by relying on the draft.

Last year's Noah, this year's Rose, if nothing else, Rose will still be the best rookie.

In fact, according to the data, Rose is not the best. The key is that several other competitors, such as Mayo and others, have poor team records.

But Rose did show enough talent, with explosive athleticism.

It's just that the current Bulls' defense is very poor. Noah's defensive insider can't take the main position. The Thunder don't have much pressure on them.

Any team that doesn't pay much attention to defense is a target for Yi Jian and Durant to improve their statistics.

At the beginning of the game, both Thunder stars showed their might.

The Bulls didn't mind either, and the backcourt represented by Ben Gordon surged up to attack the Thunder.

The current Bulls play a lot of singles, and the players don't like to pass the ball very much. They just take the ball and do it.

An attacking guard like Rose appears to have excellent organizational skills.

Such a Bull, not to mention it is pretty good-looking to play. The players fly into the sky one by one, which is completely different from the top defensive players in the Western Conference behind them.

In the case of a confrontation, the Thunder's advantage is not particularly obvious, but they have always been in the lead.

The lead is almost swinging from 5 to 10 points, but it has never been overtaken by the opponent.

The main reason is that the Thunder's backcourt athletic ability is much worse than that of the opponent, and this is precisely the strongest point of the Bulls.

The result is that the Bulls explode the Thunder in the backcourt, and the Thunder strikes the Bulls up front.

The Thunder has always maintained an advantage because Yi Jian and Durant are more stable than the Bulls' stars.

The Bulls have quasi-All-Stars and potential All-Stars this season, but they don't have real All-Star players. It's not bad that they can become a fringe team in the Eastern Conference playoffs.

To fight against the Thunder with two All-Stars, it is still not ready.

At the final critical moment, no one from the Bulls stood up, and the Thunder naturally won the victory.

After back-to-back games, the Thunder's schedule became easier.

But the Thunder also had some injuries at this time. In fact, these young people are fine, but the weakest second position, Wilkins, is injured.

Some players are also unlucky, lacking in strength and suffering from injuries, and they are destined to not be able to take off with the big ship of the Thunder.

Mason, the expired contract traded by the Thunder in the summer, is not suitable for the team without shooting. The key is that he also has injuries. If there is no one, they will really let Dragic start.

It's just that Dragic is not growing so fast now, and the team has to focus on the playoffs, so a trade is imperative.

However, the middle of the season is not so easy to trade, the Thunder can only wait patiently for the opportunity.

Yi Jian didn't put his mind on this aspect either, what he cared most about during the season was the competition.

On January 1, the Thunder came to New Jersey to play against the Nets.

Because of Yi Jian's little butterfly, there is a gap between the current Nets and the original lineup in history. As Yi Jian's time in the NBA becomes longer, there should be more and more cases like this.

The Nets have been rebuilding after sending Kidd away. This season is similar to the end of last season, and it is both Carter and Harris' backcourt two-shot mode.

Their offense and defense are not satisfactory, and it didn't take much effort for the Thunder to solve them.

After two away games, the Thunder have three more home games.

Yi Jian will make good adjustments when he returns to the home court. This season he has performed brilliantly on the offensive end, but his consumption is not small.

If you play too many away games and don't get the matching rest, it will also have a certain impact on your physical condition.

With the improvement of data, his hidden attributes are also getting stronger.

It seems that the injury is going away from him. In fact, as a professional athlete, he has been playing high-intensity games, and his body will be more or less in condition.

Now he is also adjusting in time and recovering in time, without letting his physical condition affect the game.

During the time at home, in addition to rest and adjustment, he also has to participate in a commercial activity.

That is the release of the first generation of Yi Jian signature shoes.

It claims to be released simultaneously worldwide, but in fact it is mainly in China, the United States and Europe.

If there are his fans in other places who need to buy, they can almost only rely on online shopping, which is not very developed yet.

The new flagship store specially designed to sell shoes for him is mainly in China, and there is only one in the United States for the time being.

The price of his signature shoes is relatively high, comparable to the league's top stars.

Yi Jian's fans have no objection to his status in the arena. Yi Jian's performance is so hot now, and the fans are also very enthusiastic, thinking that he has already been included in the league's strongest discussion.

It's just that I'm still a little dissatisfied with the high price that is almost the first time for a domestic sneaker brand.

Merchants also had doubts about this part before the release. Yi Jian's popularity is definitely no problem, but if they encounter Waterloo due to price reasons, their losses will not be small.

Fortunately, they have been exploring many markets for a long time, but they have little influence.

Relying on Yi Jian's release of sneakers this time, they also publicized it vigorously. Even if there is a problem, they can bear it.

But what I didn't expect was that although many people scolded the sneakers for being expensive, the sale went very smoothly.

It can be said that it went too smoothly. The merchant never expected that the fans would be so active. Within a few days, Yi Jian's first batch of signature shoes were sold out.

"No way, ordinary specialty stores without too much publicity have queues. Is this the United States?"

"Some brands in the United States have such enthusiasm when they enter the country. I didn't expect that we could do it too."

"Hahaha, maybe our brand is also a high-end imported product for Americans!"

"I didn't expect Yi Jian's high price strategy to be really successful. Maybe we can produce another high-end series in the future, not just sneakers, but also clothing..."

Yi Jian knew that high-priced sneakers would be bought by people, but he didn't expect such a success, and there seemed to be scalpers.

He is also actively contacting the merchants to let them get the second batch of goods as soon as possible, but the quality should not be a problem.
