Basketball boy, starting to shine from the slam dunk

This time, Anta's event "Beijing Station" arranged an exhibition match, inviting Anta's contracted players such as Zhuang Yu and Klay, as well as some well-known streetball players in the domestic streetball circle.

In addition, this time Anta also adopted the form of live broadcast and will broadcast the entire game live on some websites.

Some of the invited streetball players informed their fans on personal social media such as Weibo early on, and Anta also did some publicity.

So on the day of the event, the entire Dongdan Stadium was packed with people.

As a famous streetball mecca in Beijing, Dongdan has always been very popular. Dongdan is usually very lively with many people, but today there are even more, especially more.

At this time, Zhuang Yu and Klay had not arrived yet, but the Dongdan Stadium had been surrounded by three layers of people inside and outside. Many of them were wearing Zhuang Yu and Klay's jerseys, and they were obviously their fans.

Some people even brought posters and pens with them, waiting to get autographs from Zhuang Yu and Clay.

"so many people."

"Of course not. Today's event is not only about Clay, but also Zhuang Yu. Zhuang Yu's popularity is terrifying now."

"I heard that Zhuang Yu's new generation of sneakers sold out within a day of release. Now some second-hand platforms have listed many of them for sale at a higher price. Can you bear it if a pair of shoes is sold for 3000? This is the regular mass-produced version, not a limited edition or signature model."

"Brother Sheng, aren't you just a scalper? Don't you have any hoarding?"

A group of streetball players had arrived and were chatting together.

Wu You, Hei Niu, Sheng Ge, Dali and other famous players in the streetball circle all came.

Among them, Wu You is considered a veteran in this circle, and most of the rest are emerging players who have emerged in the past two years through live streaming on the Internet.

Wu You teased Brother Sheng with a smile. As a senior in the circle, he didn't care whether Brother Sheng would be angry or not, and said whatever he wanted.

Brother Sheng's face darkened, and he was a little unhappy, but he couldn't get angry, so he said in a muffled voice: "Don't talk nonsense, I just collect sneakers, I'm not a scalper."

Dali at the side stepped in to smooth things over: "Right, right, right, Brother Huasheng doesn't want to do those things anymore. He wants to be an agent of Anta and open a franchise store. He is now doing physical business. From now on, everyone has to call him Mr. Zhao."

These words seemed to be an attempt to smooth things over, but they were actually a joke, which made Sheng Ge look very embarrassed.

Brother Sheng's real name is Zhao Huasheng, a streetball player who has risen to prominence in the past two years. He relies on his fancy dribbling, is good at creating gimmicks and topics, and is good at using online live broadcasts for publicity. But in the eyes of Wu You and others, this guy is just a publicity stunt.

This is probably the chain of contempt in the streetball circle.

"I'm coming."

Suddenly, the crowd became noisy.

Someone shouted loudly, and Wu You and others turned their heads to look, realizing that stars like Zhuang Yu and Klay had arrived.

A bus drove up and was quickly surrounded by fans. The security guards responsible for maintaining order hurried forward to separate the fans. The door was then opened and Zhuang Yu, Clay and his group got out.

"Hey, isn't that Rondo?"

"He's here too."

"And Zhou Peng from the Dongyuan men's basketball team."

Not only Zhuang Yu and Klay got off the car, but also NBA star Rajon Rondo and Zhou Peng of CBA Dongyuan Men's Basketball Team. Rondo and Zhou Peng are also spokespersons of Anta. Rondo signed a 2013-year contract with Anta in 7 and became the spokesperson of Anta, while Zhou Peng is the only spokesperson signed by Anta in CBA.

Many CBA players have signed contracts with sporting goods companies.

For example, Nike has players such as Yi Jianlian, Ding Yuhang, Li Gen, Wang Zhelin, Zhou Qi, Tao Hanlin, Kenan Baike, Chen Jianghua, and Gu Quan.

Adidas also has two CBA players, one of whom is Liu Xiaoyu, the starting guard of the New York Sharks, and the other is Zhai Xiaochuan of the national team.

Li Ning also has many CBA players, including Zhao Yanhao, Wang Zirui, Xire, Zeng Lingxu, He Tianju, Yang Ming, Zhao Jiwei, Fang Shuo...

As domestic sports brands, why does Li Ning have so many CBA players while Anta only has one, Zhou Peng?

This is for a reason.

12 years ago, Anta was the main sponsor of CBA.

But 12 years later, Li Ning replaced Anta as the main sponsor of CBA, so Li Ning naturally has more CBA players than Anta.

This time it was going to be an exhibition game, and Zhuang Yu and Klay alone were not enough, so Anta brought in Rondo and Zhou Peng. In addition, there were five players, two of whom were brought by Klay and Rondo. Zhuang Yu knew one of them, who was Klay Thompson's brother Mitchell Thompson.

There are three more arranged by Anta, all of whom are players from the NBL (China Men's Basketball League), and one of them is Yang Mingxuan.

A group of people got off the bus and waved to the fans.

Yang Mingxuan was walking behind Zhuang Yu. Seeing many fans outside wearing Zhuang Yu's jerseys and shouting Zhuang Yu's name crazily, he couldn't help but sigh, "Zhuang Yu is still awesome."

He is currently playing for a team in the NBL. Originally, he had no chance to come, but after Zhuang Yu heard that Anta would invite three NBL players to participate, he recommended Yang Mingxuan.

Since Zhuang Yu recommended it, Anta naturally had no objection.

A group of people came to the court.

After being introduced by the organizer, I said hello to several streetball players.

Several streetball players seemed a little excited. After all, except for one or two of them, it was the first time for the others to meet NBA stars face to face.

"Zhuang Yu, I like you so much. Can you sign an autograph for me later?" Dali said excitedly while holding Zhuang Yu's hand.

"No problem, let's wait until the game is over." Zhuang Yu said with a smile.

Hei Niu walked up to Klay and asked in broken English if he could get an autograph, which surprised several streetball players. They thought, "You are so stupid, why don't you ask Zhuang Yu for an autograph, but go to Klay, a shooter?"

Noticing the way several people were looking at him, Hei Niu puffed out his chest and said, "My idol is Klay. He's such an accurate shooter."

Dali rolled his eyes: "Your idol is Klay, aren't you a center?"

Hei Niu glared and said, "Who said a center can't have a shooter dream?"

As for your Sagittarius dream, it’s hard for others to say, but this dream will never come true in your lifetime.

Several streetball players rolled their eyes.

After some polite greetings, both sides began to warm up, and the live commentator arranged by the organizer began to liven up the atmosphere. A small activity was held, in which a fan was randomly selected to shoot from the three-point line. There were three chances, and as long as one made the shot, he would get Klay's autographed shoes.

Immediately, many people raised their hands enthusiastically, and finally a young man was chosen to come up. Unfortunately, he missed all three shots.

However, the organizer still gave a souvenir, a pair of Klay's exclusive sneakers - of course, these were not signed by Klay himself.
