my golden age

Chapter 98
Phil Jackson drank the Cuban cigar that Goofy gave at Christmas, and asked, "Increase Yao's playing time, do you want him to win the AMVP?"

Gao Fei sat on the chair, rubbing his chin with his right hand: "I really mean that."

"I won't refuse, but I suggest that you communicate with the players of the Western Stars first to avoid unnecessary trouble." Phil Jackson reminded Gao Fei.

"I know."

After Gao Fei came out of Phil Jackson's room, he called Yao Ming.

"Brother Yao, you didn't go to Yao's restaurant for the match last time, so you have to treat me this time?"

"Have you come to Houston yet?"

"I still have to participate in the slam dunk contest, so naturally I have to come early."

"Okay. My restaurant is on Houston Street. You can take a taxi."

"Better call Tracy."

"can."

Before hanging up the phone, Gao Fei asked, "Brother Yao, do you want AMVP?"

"What do you mean, do you want to give me a trophy?"

"Really." Gao Fei laughed, "It's just that I didn't give it to you, Stern will give it to you."

"You want to help me win the AMVP?" Yao Ming realized that Gao Fei was not joking.

"I have this idea, but it still depends on what you mean."

"I don't refuse the honor, but the All-Star has a fast pace and is not suitable for a big center."

"How do you know if you don't try?" Gao Fei believes that the fans have provided them with a stage, as long as they are full of desire, there is nothing they cannot do.

"Do you really want to try?" Dayao didn't expect Gao Fei, his once shy little brother, to become so assertive now.

"It's inconvenient to talk on the phone, let's talk at Yao Restaurant."

Gao Fei called Kobe and Duncan and went to Yao Restaurant to talk about the ball rights for this All-Star Game.

Dayao is a humorous person who can integrate into the circle of the NBA and will basically not be excluded.

Gao Fei is slightly different, not so smooth, everything depends on strength.

He sat in the box, waited for McGrady, Kobe and Duncan to take their seats, and asked, "I want Yao to be the All-Star MVP, what do you think?"

Duncan felt that he might get involved in trouble, so he didn't express his position.

Kobe and McGrady have a good personal relationship, and they discussed privately, intending to let McGrady win the AMVP.In this way, basically two factions were formed.

Due to Dayao's humble personality, he wanted to help McGrady, saying: "Tracey has a strong scoring ability, and it would be good to let him take it."

Gao Fei said: "I still stick to my idea." He looked at Kobe and McGrady firmly.

McGrady is not a fool, and knows that Gao Fei is waiting for him to speak.He has two options, one is humility, and the other is to compete for AMVP.

Gao Fei's eyes were unusually firm, allowing McGrady to clearly perceive the emotions in it.

In this alliance, only the domineering can establish dominance.Gao Fei naturally does not lack this quality.

"Yao and I are teammates, whoever can take it." McGrady replied ambiguously.

"That's Yao. He has been with the Rockets longer than you." Gao Fei answered the words lightly.

"Shouldn't we discuss it again?" Kobe and Gao Fei teamed up to win the first place in the league, so they naturally knew the strong side of Gao Fei's character.

"What's the point of discussing? If we continue talking, it will become a mess." Gao Fei made a decisive decision, "If there is a next time, I will give the AMVP to Tracy."

Duncan is a master of psychology, knowing that Gao Fei has been insisting on a choice from the beginning, while Dayao, McGrady and Kobe are all vacillating, so the final decision belongs to Gao Fei.

"This kid, it's really not easy!" Duncan thought.

"Tim, what are you thinking?" Gao Fei settled the matter and asked Duncan who was sitting beside him.

"Nothing." Duncan coped with it with simple words.

"What move did you prepare for the slam dunk contest?" McGrady didn't care about what happened just now, and asked Gao Fei who was sitting opposite.

"They're all shocking moves." Gao Fei ate a piece of steak and said, "As long as there are no major mistakes, the slam dunk king will basically not be left behind."

……

Zhang Chuanxi took a pair of newly released "Artist-Pilot" sneakers and flew from the Nike headquarters in Portland to Houston, bringing Gao Fei who will appear in the All-Star Rookie Game, Slam Dunk Contest and All-Star Game.

"Dude, you are really a person who can do great things." Gao Fei knew that the signature sneakers would definitely be released, but after only a few months, he still felt incredible.

"I can't compare to you." Zhang Chuanxi said this from the bottom of his heart.

Gao Fei didn't want to talk about such meaningless topics anymore, so he picked up the shoe box on the coffee table and asked, "Can I take out the sneakers?"

"Of course." Zhang Chuanxi walked over and opened the shoe box, inside was a pair of red and white sneakers.

"Why is it a red and white color scheme?" Gao Fei took out a shoe and looked closely at his exclusive equipment.

The tongue and lining are red, the same as near the sole.The main color is white, with the Nike checkmark logo on the side, and the high-flying purple wings personal logo on the heel, which looks very beautiful.

"This is the All-Star Special Edition of Artist-Leader. The official version is purple, gold and white." Zhang Chuanxi explained why the sneakers are red and white.

"There is even a special edition." Gao Fei was even more surprised.

"Gao, do you understand? You are now the top star of Nike?" Zhang Chuanxi found that Gao Fei did not have the aura of a big-name star, but he felt completely different when watching the game, and his aggressiveness seemed to penetrate the screen.

"Yes, I forgot about this." Gao Fei asked, "I am going to name the world championship version of the sneakers Yaoshi."

"Okay. When I get back to Portland, it will be put into design soon."

"Relax, there are still a few months before the World Championships, you have been busy for a long time, you should go on vacation first, and then work." Gao Fei put his hands on the sneakers and found that the insoles were still there.

"Is this the treatment of star players?" Gao Fei still found it inconceivable.

All-Star Rookie Game!
The artist-Pilot sneakers ushered in the debut of the game, and then in Nike's official flagship store, the All-Star special edition and regular version of Pilot were put on the shelves.

Gao Fei still has the slam dunk contest and the main game to play. The rookie game was a small test, and he returned to the court to rest after only playing for 8 minutes.

Paul and Gao Fei are rookies in the same class. Looking at the new signature sneakers on Gao Fei's feet, there is uncontrollable envy in his heart.

Iguodala won the Rookie Challenge MVP trophy, but the news attention he received was far less than the sneakers on Gao Fei's feet.This is the gap between coffee status and strength, and it is also a cruel reality.

Nike has internal sales data, and it has always paid attention to it in the early stage of the shelves. Although the price is expensive, the sales volume far exceeds that of the first-generation sneakers of the Kobe and James series.

Gao Fei called the representative of Nike and asked for dozens of pairs of ordinary sneakers, which he planned to sign and give to the person he had promised.

As soon as he hung up, several more calls came.

After the NCAA enters March and April, the battle will become more intense.Candace Parker wanted a specific size, forcing Goofy to call Nike again.

He thought that the Nike representative would find a bunch of excuses to shirk, but he didn't expect to get it done easily.
