The world's best combo guard

Chapter 175 172 [Unimaginable influence]

Since the beginning of September, Li Hao has gradually disappeared from the public eye. No matter whether it is the Chinese media or foreign media, there is no news about Li Hao.

But everyone has a certain guess, Li Hao must be taking advantage of this time to improve himself.

After all, the situation facing the Lakers in the new season is not very optimistic. Leaving aside other personnel adjustments, the departure of Shaq O'Neal alone has caused the Lakers to suffer a visible weakening of their overall strength.

Even though Shaq's performance in the playoffs last season was not as strong as in previous seasons, there is no doubt that he is still the league's number one center. The Lakers with him and the Lakers without him must be two different teams.

Under such circumstances, Li Hao, who made history at the beginning of last season and won the Finals Most Valuable Player, must take on more responsibilities.

The same is true for Kobe, another core member of the Lakers.During this period of time, the media and fans' comments on him were not very pleasant. Everyone felt that Kobe forced Shaquille O'Neal away abruptly.

Therefore, Kobe wants to prove himself and regain the support of the fans. He is bound to take on greater responsibilities in the new season.

After all, although the Lakers are now a dual-core Kobe + Li Hao, it is unquestionable that Kobe is still the leader of the team. As for Li Hao who wants to become the leader of the team, perhaps he has to further prove himself in the new season.

…………

In the private training hall, Li Hao is running on the court profusely with sweat. He has been training for more than two hours since morning.

Li Hao followed Jordan's advice. He now has to shoot at least 1000 shots a day, and the effect is gradually improving. The low shooting rate from the beginning is steadily improving.

However, for Li Hao, he may not be able to continue such high-intensity training. His body is too tired. As the new season is getting closer, he has to gradually recover his physical fitness.

Therefore, starting from tomorrow, he will not go to additional training. In addition to the normal training volume, he will spend more time outside the training hall.

In the past two days, Yao Zhijun often came to him and said that there were many things that Li Hao needed to personally come forward for. For example, Li Ning Sports, which has been brewing for a long time, specially developed Li Hao's exclusive brand sneakers for Li Hao, which will be officially released the day after tomorrow.

In Los Angeles, Li Ning Sports intends to arrange a launch event. For Li Hao, Li Ning Sports certainly hopes that he can attend the day after tomorrow.

Yao Zhijun told Li Hao that the release of this exclusive sneaker is very important. It is the first relatively large brand jointly launched by them and Li Ning Sports. It is better for Li Hao to attend in person.

Li Hao was planning to reduce the training intensity and spend more time outside the training hall, so he agreed without hesitation.

Don't ignore Li Hao's status in the hearts of Lakers fans.

Therefore, even in Los Angeles, when Li Hao appeared at the launch event, the entire scene was already crowded with people. Not surprisingly, everyone came for Li Hao's exclusive brand sneakers.

Looking at the humming crowd in front of him, the person in charge of Li-Ning Sports panicked. He felt that the amount of sneakers prepared today might not be enough and might be sold out.

After all, compared to Los Angeles, the domestic market is the largest consumer group for Li Ning at this stage, and the same is true for Li Hao's sneakers. Therefore, although the head office hopes to bring the sale to Los Angeles this time, in fact, this is just a brand promotion. role, the focus is still in the country.

The sale lasted more than 2 hours, and as expected, the entire warehouse was swept away.

Even Li Hao himself sighed a little at the end, maybe he still underestimated his influence before that.

In fact, since Li Hao got fmvp, his commercial value has jumped a lot in an instant.

Sweepstakes like today's exclusive brand sneakers are almost common.

Take the situation of the Lakers jersey stores in Los Angeles as an example. Almost every store has the largest demand for Li Hao's jerseys.

"Brother Jun, this really taught me a lot."

Li Hao shook his head in disbelief and said to Yao Zhi.

"Ahao, this is normal. I am not inferior, but I am stating the fact that in our country, basketball is a relatively barren sport. Under such circumstances, any Chinese who can enter the NBA Players are all darlings, and even more so for a talent like you."

Li Hao nodded his head, maybe it was just like what Yao Zhijun said, but from this point of view, this is not just a happy thing, to a certain extent, it is also a kind of sadness.

Compared with a person who shines brightly, Li Hao hopes that in the future, more Chinese players can achieve the same success in the NBA as he does.

"By the way, Brother Jun, I haven't heard from Lao Gu for a long time, what is he busy with these days?
Li Hao asked casually, as if he hadn't heard much about Gu Zhengwen since he returned to Los Angeles.

"Old Gu has been crazy busy these days, in other words, he is almost driven crazy by your father-in-law." Yao Zhijun laughed.

"What do you mean?"

"It's not a matter of cooperation. Your father-in-law is moving very fast. They hope to occupy a certain market soon. In this case, as the leader of our team, Lao Gu must devote more time and energy to invest in working with them”

"No wonder"

Li Hao suddenly realized.

"Brother Jun, let's do this. I think our team needs to grow further. If you have suitable candidates, recruit them. I don't want my employees to be exhausted."

Li Hao temporarily made such a decision, he must consider Gu Zhengwen and the others. To be honest, last season he was able to devote more energy and time to training and competitions, and the team behind him definitely contributed.

As his position in the NBA becomes stronger and stronger, Gu Zhengwen's workload will inevitably increase. In this case, team expansion is the best way to deal with it.

He is not an ancient slave owner, so it is impossible to squeeze Gu Zhengwen and the others.

"I was just about to talk to you about this, Ah Hao, I think it's time for us to hire an American agent. Since last month, there have been several waves of famous American brands looking for us. To reach a cooperation with you, to be honest, I am a little powerless"

Yao Zhijun expressed his difficulties.

"So, Brother Jun, do you have any suitable candidates for hiring an American agent?"

Li Hao knew that Yao Zhijun took the initiative to say these words, not just talking, he should already have some goals.

"Of course there is"

Sure enough, Yao Zhijun nodded immediately.
