Basketball's best forward and guard

Chapter 68 68 [Training Habits]

From an emotional point of view, Jiang Hao is of course inclined to cooperate with domestic brands. After all, after all these years in the United States, he has never heard of a Chinese brand of sneakers that is widely known around the world.

As a basketball player, he not only hopes to help the Chinese men's basketball team in the national team, but at the same time, of course he also hopes that China's national brands can go global.

However, from the perspective of quality and rationality, there is no doubt that Nike and Adidas are the first choices. It is difficult for Chinese sneaker brands to compare with these international big names at this stage.

"Isn't it still a while before my sneaker contract expires? Let's wait and see, you know, what is the most important thing to me right now"

Jiang Hao said.

"Of course I know that your current sneaker contract will expire for some time, but I would like to remind you that we must make a decision on this matter as soon as possible."

Rich Paul waved his hand, Jiang Hao's sneaker contract is the biggest money-making point for him, so, whether it is for Jiang Hao or himself, he is very concerned.

"Jiang, I may be very busy in the next period, so we can only contact by phone."

Rich Paul said sorry before leaving.

Jiang Hao can understand Rich Paul. After all, Rich Paul has more than one player, and none of them are big-name players. At this point in the playoffs, he must be busy with contracts or other business for each player under his banner. .

For example, he has to fly to Cleveland right now, and the Eastern Conference finals are about to start. Regarding James' business operations, he must go to the front line to make the transfer.

Regarding LeBron James, Rich Paul certainly dare not slacken in the slightest. Although he is no longer the shadow of James, it must be admitted that Rich Paul would not be where he is today without James.

What's more, until now, the cooperation between him and LeBron James has received the most rewards among all the players under his banner. As the No.1 in the league, the commercial value of LeBron James is not a joke.

Sometimes Rich Paul wonders, when Jiang Hao grows up completely, can his commercial value reach the height of LeBron James?
He thinks this is very possible. After all, Jiang Hao represents a market of 14 billion or even more than 30 billion people in Asia.

.........

After sending Rich Paul away, Jiang Hao drove to the training hall immediately. The upcoming Western Conference Finals is no joke, and the defending champions are definitely not the Houston Rockets and Portland Trail Blazers.

They will be the stumbling blocks for the team to move forward, and there is even a tacit understanding that whoever can break out of the West will be the championship.

Jiang Hao is not a person who talks empty words. Since he made a promise in front of the fans last night, he must go all out to realize it.

And the basis for fulfilling the promise is serious preparation.

When Jiang Hao came to the training hall, he found that he was not the first player to appear here.

Kawhi Leonard, Manu Ginobili, Tony Parker, etc.

Jiang Hao was a little embarrassed, he seemed to be the last one, even the members of the coaching staff were already in the arena.

Jiang Hao nodded at Popovich, and then walked to the fitness room.

I have to admit that seeing his teammates preparing for the battle so seriously, Jiang Hao not only feels at ease, but also has a sense of urgency.

He likes the atmosphere.

After staying in the fitness room for almost an hour, Jiang Hao didn't directly grab the basketball training, but came to the video room again.

This is his training habit.

Every time in the pre-match training session of a major competition, he always sets aside more than an hour for himself to watch the video.

Jiang Hao felt that this method was very suitable for him.

In the dark and quiet video room, Jiang Hao carefully watched the video of Stephen Curry's playoff game that was about to face off.

It wasn’t Jiang Haotuo. After watching it for a while, he took the initiative to turn off the video because he was a little disappointed. Stephen Curry’s performance since the playoffs is still the same. He was absent at the critical moment of the game, but the number of outside shots Always the most.

To be honest, such Stephen Curry also plays with the wind. Once the Warriors fall into a headwind, his voice will become smaller and smaller.

On the contrary, Kevin Durant is the scariest at this time,

It's not that Jiang Hao doesn't trust Leonard, but that Durant is too strong. In the current league, if Kawhi Leonard is called the league's strongest defensive player, then Durant is definitely the league's best defensive player. Strong offensive player.

The strongest spear and the strongest shield, it has to be admitted that the spear is still more powerful.

Jiang Hao knows that Leonard is a very strong player, but he may still struggle against the current Durant.

Even if it is optimistic, Leonard can limit Durant, what about the Spurs?
So Jiang Hao told himself from this moment, if the Spurs want to be the final winner in the next Western Conference Finals, then their own performance is very important.

When Jiang Hao came out of the video room, Popovich called everyone together, and the next step was to play the training game.

Before the start of the team training game, Popovich told everyone to try to go all out in the game, and the task of the substitute team is very heavy, because it needs to simulate the Warriors' style of play.

Jiang Hao always has some unexpected ideas. He suggested to Popovich that the starting team should simulate the Warriors' style of play, because the starting team is the starting team after all, and the Western Conference Finals still depends on the starting team. Performance.

In fact, the same is true for the Warriors. Although their bench lineup is also the league's top strength, there is still a certain gap compared with the Spurs.

As the most luxurious starting lineup in the league, the Warriors generally rely on the starting lineup to solve the game.

When encountering a team like the Spurs, if their starters can't play well, then they may also lose to the Spurs.

Popovich accepted Jiang Hao's suggestion, because he felt that Jiang Hao's suggestion was good. Against a team like the Warriors, one should take the initiative and take the initiative in tactical preparations to win the game.

In the next training match, Jiang Hao performed very well, even better than Leonard.

This made Popovich and other members of the coaching staff extremely excited. For them, Jiang Hao is definitely the most critical player in the Western Conference Finals. To a certain extent, he is the upper limit of the Spurs. Now, the Warriors may be out, and their team will have the opportunity to move on and advance to the finals, which is what they dream of.
