Chapter 63 The Attitude of the Other Side of the Ocean
Chapter 63 The Attitude Across the Ocean
It has to be said that Li Shihao's popularity in the NBA is constantly increasing. When he first entered the league, he was just a rookie. Facing this brand new stage, even though he has always been calm, he was a little embarrassed.

People of yellow race playing in the highest basketball hall in the world are undoubtedly a little eye-catching, just like Yao Ming, the little giant is the only All-Star player in China, and his every move is concerned with the joys, sorrows, sorrows and joys of thousands of people.

Li Shihao's agent Duffy also received many endorsement invitations.

When Li Shihao was identified by the Timberwolves as the core of the team, Bill Duffy specially set up a special management team for Li Shihao, which was specially used for packaging and promotion.

Facts have proved that Duffy's original approach was not wrong. Li Shihao adapted to this league very well. Three years of college league experience allowed him to know how to play correctly even in the NBA. At the same time, he has a good basketball awareness, Let him more accurately grasp the opportunity of winning or losing the game in the game, this is the most commendable!
Compared with those jumping men with superhuman physical fitness in the league, what Li Shihao possesses is nothing but honed incomparably proficient basketball skills. Fans who have watched him play will involuntarily have a thought in their hearts: "This Chinese-American The boy's movements are elegant and standard!"

The solid basic skills that have been honed for many years have made his basketball moves extremely standard, and even the most rigorous basketball coaches can't pick out any thorns.

Popovich of the Spurs has long paid attention to this unknown Chinese rookie, but due to the excellent record of the Spurs, they basically fail to have a high draft pick every year.Therefore, Popovich, who had been paying close attention to Li Shihao, was a little helpless.

As we all know, Bobo is a coach who pays attention to teamwork. His tactics are all kinds of strange, and there are special effects buffs that turn decay into magic.

If Li Shihao is really selected by the Spurs in the draft, he may not have high commercial value and exposure. However, under the careful training of Popovich, Li Shihao will definitely become a sharp knife for the Spurs on the outside. A few championship rings may not be illusory either.

Now the number of Li Shihao fans in the United States is growing. It may not have the explosive growth of Derrick Rose last year, but it is very stable. The increase rate is not very fast, but according to the survey, the proportion of loyal fans in these fan groups is extremely high. Far more than Derrick Rose's fanbase.

Minnesota is no different than the windy city of Chicago, where the basketball market has been perfected by Jordan, the god of basketball. Those old fans who have experienced six championships are looking forward to a new leader in Chicago to lead the Bulls to rise, and Rose's appearance is just right. Filled the void!

However, the growth of the fans of the Chinese boy Li Shihao has made some marketing experts in the United States unable to understand. Not only are the jerseys sold out in Minnesota, but also in the streets of New York, a big city, you can often see young people wearing Timberwolves No. [-] jerseys. .

There are Chinese, there are blacks, and there are whites, not only the audience is large, but the scope is also wide.

It is hard to imagine that this is the basketball effect brought by a Chinese!
Curiosity-driven experts in the American marketing field began to conduct research on Li Shihao, which took half a month.

With high efficiency, this research survey has the results. They believe that Li Shihao is very likely to lead a basketball storm different from Kobe James. The impact of this phenomenon may be extremely wide, starting from the United States.

First of all, Li Shihao, whose physical fitness is not much different from ordinary people, is more attractive than James Kobe. For most fans, the basketball dream is just a dream, especially in the United States, where basketball is more popular. It belongs to the elders.

Bynum, the main center of the Los Angeles Lakers, once sent 10 blocks in a game against the Denver Nuggets, helping the Lakers win their first playoff victory.

When the number of blocked shots reached ten, he himself was unbearably excited. In an interview with a Los Angeles reporter after the game, he said: "I almost want to jump up when I see everything, hoping to complete this record."

To become a recording background is something that no one is willing to do.After the game that night, the Nuggets coach George Karl said angrily: "Bynum's so many blocks are due to the suspicion of staying in the three-second zone and defending the three-second violation!"

In this regard, the boss Kobe only said one sentence calmly after hearing this: "No one can teach you about height."

After saying this, George Karl couldn't say anything more.

During this period of time, Li Shihao was concentrating on improving his game skills, while Duffy and his team were very busy. How to use every resource in their hands to make Li Shihao a brand new star has become their most urgent issue now.

And when the United States announced the start of the All-Star voting, a heated discussion broke out on the other side of the ocean.

The Basketball Association had a focused discussion on Li Shihao's problem. They hoped to deal with this young man's problem. As Li Shihao played better and better, the exposure that followed became higher and higher.

The Basketball Association's original intention to turn a blind eye to it was torn apart embarrassingly. More and more domestic fans are asking whether Li Shihao can enter the national team and represent the country for the World Championships next year.

This is a problem that has already been put on the table, and the officials of the Basketball Association can no longer hesitate. The better Li Shihao's performance in the United States, the more acute this problem has become.

Especially the fans in the Jiangsu and Zhejiang areas paid special attention to the answer to this question, and the major domestic forums were full of discussions from these enthusiastic fans.

Li Shihao studied in Zhejiang before high school, and his origin from Jiangsu and Zhejiang made him very popular in Jiangsu and Zhejiang.

As a world-class agent, Bill Duffy has cooperated with Yao Ming for many years. His Asian network is excellent. As soon as Li Shihao entered the league, Bill Duffy immediately used his resources in Asia to start packaging for Li Shihao. publicity.

Bill also put in a lot of effort, and some of the resources he used were those he had managed for many years and kept as his foundation, but for Li Shihao, he still used them decisively.

As a top agent who has worked in the agent circle for many years, he has an excellent vision. He judges the commercial value of a player not only by his skill and popularity, but also by the character of that player.

Bill Duffy believes that no matter how good a player's skills are, if his emotional intelligence is too low and he doesn't know how to behave, then even if he becomes famous, he will still become an ordinary person one day.

In his eyes, Li Shihao is a material for becoming a superstar, with excellent skills and a calm temperament. Such a player can be used to great advantage, and he will definitely have a place in this league!
Facts have proved that Duffy's vision is correct, and he is still sharp and farsighted.

Under Duffy's operation, the Basketball Association far away in the mainland began to frown. They needed to have a good talk with Li Shihao. His influence had gradually spread.

This problem can no longer be avoided!
