NBA: I have 3 but no D, and I still can’t dribble.

The Converse brand has a long history. It was founded in 1908, much earlier than Adidas and Nike.

At the same time, Converse is also the first brand to manufacture professional basketball shoes, and even became the endorsement of basketball shoes in the United States. The most famous spokesperson is "Postman" Karl Malone.

That phrase "informal behavior" has also become a very famous advertising slogan among sports brands.

Unlike Anta Group, which began to value Lin Fei's commercial value in advance, although Wade played equally explosively this season and made rapid progress,

But Converse is a big international brand after all, so it was a few months late to launch signature basketball shoes for "The Flash".

However, in this season's regular season mvp competition, overall, Wade has a better chance of winning than Lin Fei, who often plays as a substitute.

The NBA's regular season MVP is a big name, and Wade is only 23 years old. If he really gets the regular season MVP, it will have great significance for increasing the value of Converse's brand.

The design of this Converse Wade1.0 is also very novel, with lively color points, and the Converse circle and five-pointed star icon on the heel, which have distinct brand historical characteristics.

Compared with the price of "Lin Fei Second Generation" of 799 Chinese coins, Wade's Wade1.0 is priced at 198 US dollars, which is close to 1600 yuan when converted into Chinese coins.

As one of the Heat's Big Three, Shaquille O'Neal wore a pair of dunkman brand basketball shoes tonight, which is the Shaq series he founded.

As early as the beginning of the century, O'Neal signed a five-year, $5 million contract with Reebok. As an insider, the sneakers themselves were not as good as defenders. O'Neal conquered sports groups and many sports groups by virtue of his dominance. fan.

Interestingly, after one game, O'Neal was accused by a middle-aged female fan outside the court that his sneakers were too expensive and his children could not afford them even if they were frugal.

At that time, O'Neal was very touched after hearing this. He eventually disbanded with Reebok, spent money to buy back the logo of his sneakers, and established the dunkman brand.

The sneakers on sale cost only $19 and are fully displayed at Wal-Mart's counters so that children who like basketball can buy them.

Lin Fei was also very touched by O'Neal's behavior and praised Big Brother.

But in China, this kind of behavior that harms the interests of big brands may not happen at all, unless you are strong enough to fight against capital.

Regarding the high pricing of "Lin Fei 2nd Generation", Lin Fei also entrusted his agent Qin Dongmei and Anta Group to conduct multi-party discussions and coordination.

Anta Group also patiently explained, claiming that Anta's "Lin Fei Series" basketball shoes are an overall layout, the second generation is mainly high-end, but not mainstream,

The next third generation will reduce costs and try to make the price more affordable, giving it a price advantage over the first generation.

Seeing that their favorite stars were all wearing new endorsement sneakers tonight, some fans at the scene who love to collect basketball shoes also started talking lively.

"When it comes to Reebok's sneakers, we have to rely on Allen Iverson. If we hadn't signed with AI for ten years, how could Reebok be so popular now?"

"Although I am not optimistic about the Chinese brand Anta, if they can sign Lin, they will definitely have no worries about selling their sneakers, as long as they are not too bad!"

"I have already pre-ordered 'Lin Fei 2' in advance, and the previous 'Lin Fei 1' has been collected. To be honest, the quality of the shoes is not comparable to Nike Reebok, but the price is indeed reasonable!"

“Dwayne’s Wade1 is definitely a good seller, the design is awesome!”

Most of the fans who can come to the arena to watch the game are relatively financially independent groups and have no pressure to buy genuine basketball shoes.

But among the fans from all over the world waiting in front of the TV at this time, there are also some poor families and children. Facing their beloved basketball shoes, they can only wipe the saliva from the corners of their mouths.

Comment section of an NBA player on Sina:

"Lin Fei 2 actually sells it for 799 Tianchao coins. This is my living expenses for two months in school. Anta is even worse than Li Ning!"

"You get what you pay for. Fei Ge's first-generation signature shoes are already sold very cheaply. If you can't afford them, just buy pirated ones!"

"You can't even afford a pair of Fei Ge's genuine basketball shoes, so what kind of Fei Ge fans are you?"

"I will start eating instant noodles from tomorrow, and I must buy a pair of 'Lin Fei 2nd Generation' in two months."

“You don’t have to eat, but you must buy Fei Ge’s genuine basketball shoes!”

"Hey, are they all a bunch of idiot fans? If they are really Lin Fei's fans, then watch the game well, play well, buy sneakers according to your ability, and don't embarrass the fans, okay?"

"It looks like a poor man with a monthly income of no more than 500 yuan... To tell you the truth, I am too!"

Looking back to the American Airlines Arena, the game started soon.

O'Neal was full of fighting spirit when he came up, and he didn't look like he was keeping healthy in the regular season. First, he took the initiative to get stuck in the low post and asked for the ball.

"Boom!"

The 76ers did not set up a zone defense at the beginning, which gave O'Neal an opportunity to score easily.

Dalembert was a rookie in 2001 and is still in the fourth year of his rookie contract.

As a blue-collar center with tall height and long arms, Dalembert does not have the ability to independently attack in the low post. He can only eat cakes and occasionally make mid-range shots. His defensive awareness is also average.

本赛季场均只有8分7篮板，但为了能留住这样一名蓝领，76人甚至已经提前和戴勒姆波特签下了6年6400万美刀的新合同。

This also shows how favored centers are by the league in this era. Any center who is tall, long-armed, strong and not easily injured can sign a good contract.

The annual salary is in the tens of millions, which is a price that Chauncey Billups, Jason Terry and others among guards cannot get.

Of course, from another perspective, this also reflects the withering of the league's center era, and the upcoming "Warcraft" Howard is the last stubborn.

But now, the Shark is still in his prime, and he and his Heat are still dominating the league.

Stan Van Gundy's offensive tactics for the team tonight are very targeted, that is, to focus on the inside and try to let Williams and Wade play the ball for O'Neal.

The Heat's inside advantage was fully revealed. With O'Neal alone, they completely penetrated the 76ers' penalty area in the first quarter.

After Lin Fei came on the court, the Heat's outside deterrence became even greater, and O'Neal also played harder in the penalty area.

In just the first quarter, in 10 minutes of play, O'Neal made 6 of 5 shots and scored 14 points from free throws. He also caused consecutive fouls by Webber and Dalembert.

With Lin Fei and Wade's internal and external support, and White Chocolate's gorgeous pass, the Sharks can be said to be overwhelming in the penalty area, unstoppable.

O'Neal, who was omnipotent in the playoffs, once again showed his terror tonight.

Facts have proved that Pat Riley's rotation strategy is very successful.

Especially for O'Neal, a 33-year-old veteran, giving full play to his efficiency is the most important thing.

Under Stan Van Gundy's tactical tilt, Wade and Lin Fei both made O'Neal a wedding dress in the first quarter, which also allowed the Sharks to play smoothly. People were in high spirits at happy events, and they actually made two free throws.

At 8 minutes and 02 seconds in the first quarter, O'Neal flexibly circled around the basket to block Dalembert, received a pass from White Chocolate, feinted and turned around against his opponent.

Facing Chris Webber, who came up to help defend, he raised the basketball with both hands in the air and dunked the ball into the basket directly through Webber.

"Boom!"

Amidst the loud noise, Chris Webb was directly knocked to the ground by O'Neal.

"Beep!"

The ball went in and the buzzer sounded, another 2+1.

Philadelphia 76ers head coach Maurice Cheeks, who was standing on the sidelines, also frowned at this time, feeling helpless about the team's opening situation.

We were just over halfway through the first quarter, but this was already Weber's second foul.

O'Neal, who was dominating the basket, dunked and then took a domineering step, swaggering past the 76ers bench on the sidelines.

"Shh!"

O'Neal, who walked to the free throw line, also made extra free throws, which seemed even more triumphant.

"Hey guys, why don't you chop me? Come on and chop me!"

Seeing O'Neal's extremely arrogant look, Allen Iverson was very angry.

Damn it, someone actually made such an exorbitant request? That must satisfy him!

Everyone can guess what happened next. O'Neal got to the free throw line three times in a row and only made 6 of 2 free throws...

Stan Van Gundy also laughed and replaced the excited O'Neal in advance, switching to Wade and Lin Fei's combination of inside and outside.

The 76ers' overall defense is not good, both inside and outside. Otherwise, they would not have fallen to the eighth playoff goalkeeper position in the Eastern Conference with this relatively luxurious lineup.

In the last minute of the first quarter, Lin Fei's explosion came late but arrived.

First, on the offensive end, with the continuous use of roughly and Haslem's double screens, Lin Fei sped off Iguodala's pursuit and faced the backup power forward who didn't switch in time.

Lin Fei took a step outside the three-point line at a 45-degree angle on the left to receive the ball from Wade, and took a decisive shot with his bow and arrow.

"Shh!"

The basketball flew across the sky, like a sharp sword darting straight through the net.

This is Lin Fei's first three-point goal in the playoffs of the new season.

Then returning to the defensive end, Allen Iverson held the ball at the top of the key and directly faced Lin Fei's frontal defense.

Tonight, Lin Fei will have to face Iguodala's stalking on the offensive end, and on the defensive end, he will have to defend Iverson, the offensive leader.

Although he is still a substitute, he obviously has the largest responsibility on the team on both offense and defense.

No one could really guard Allen Iverson during this period. Although Wade and Lin Fei took turns to defend, by the end of the first quarter, Iverson still scored a team-high 12 points.

"Lin, no one can guard against me, and the same goes for you!"

Iverson's words were sharp, and his eyes seemed to shoot out cold electricity. His continuous crossover changes were very fast, with large amplitude, and his center of gravity was extremely low.

Lin Fei knew very well that Iverson was more on the right side in terms of breakthrough direction and emergency stop shooting position, so his defense was always targeted, focusing on the right side, and his long arms always interfered with the opponent's space.

Half a month ago, Iverson just celebrated his 30th birthday, and he is still the favorite of the league.

However, a style of play that relied too much on physical talent, coupled with insufficient training and a sluggish off-court life, meant that Iverson no longer had the speed and explosiveness he had at his peak.

"Whoosh!"

Iverson accelerated and broke through Lin Fei's right side, lowering his center of gravity as if he were a fired cannonball.

Lin Fei didn't panic at all, and accelerated sideways to catch up. With his height and wingspan advantages, he almost covered the 180-degree space on Iverson's left back.

Always on alert, ready to block shots and interfere.

Iverson had already taken one step away from Lin Fei. Faced with the help of the defender under the basket, Iverson ignored him. He took a European step while walking and jumped directly from the right side of the opponent.

He used the extreme lever in the air to avoid the opponent's block, and threw the ball toward the basket with an underhand layup.

But Iverson avoided the rough this time, but he didn't know that the praying mantis catching the cicada and the oriole were behind.

It was only 0.5 seconds for Lin Fei to pull the lever, which was enough for Lin Fei to make sufficient preparations. He jumped up on the left side and soared into the sky like a rocket, fully displaying his strongest explosive power.

With his long arms across his shoulders, his big hands suddenly fanned out, slamming the basketball flying towards the basket onto the steel backboard at the moment it was about to reach its highest point.

"Snapped!"

This is a shocking chasing cap. When Lin Fei slapped the basketball, Iverson as the opponent and roughly as the teammate were equally horrified.

How can this be?

"My, god, Lin chased down Allen Iverson, and it was a flying shot that separated his teammates!"

"Whether in terms of defensive experience, skills, speed and strength, Lin has made a qualitative leap from the beginning of the season. His current defensive ability has reached the highest level in the league from outside!"

"I think Lin should definitely be selected for the All-Defensive First Team this season. At least in the second half of this season, the only defender who can compete with him defensively is Kobe!"

Amid the live commentary, the competition on the court became more intense.

The basketball that Lin Fei slapped off the steel backboard bounced back and was just caught by Andre Iguodala who was following up.

The young and energetic first brother was determined to save face for the boss. After taking the ball and taking advantage of the chaos under the basket, he jumped up in one step, facing the 2.15-meter-tall general, he was about to send a flying dunk.

He had just turned over to grab a rebound, so his body was turned 90 degrees at this time. Facing the super explosive power of rookie Iguodala, it was difficult to match the opponent's bullet speed.

At the same time, in terms of reaction speed, as a Chinese inside player, he did suffer a big loss when facing these black people.

Seeing that I was about to be dunked by a 198 swingman like Iguodala,

At the next moment of general horror and panic, a vigorous posture suddenly jumped up behind him, and the number 22 on the white jersey was bright and eye-catching.

It's Lin Fei again!

"Snapped!"

With a crisp sound, Lin Fei jumped up from behind, and slapped the basketball Iguodala was about to dunk into the basket with his long arms.

In Iguodala's horrified pupils, the basketball was slapped out by Lin Fei, and this time it happened to be caught by Jason Williams.

"Whoosh!"

The Heat quickly launched a counterattack and fast break. Lin Fei blocked two consecutive shots, but he didn't stop at all after landing and stepped on the accelerator.

Acceleration flew past Iguodala and Iverson.

"Whoosh!"

The moment Lin Fei broke out of the three-point line at the top of the backcourt, Williams passed the ball directly to him.

Seeing Lin Fei actually receiving the ball from such a far position, the first thought of Iverson and Iguodala was that he would take a long three-pointer after getting the ball.

Because Lin Fei gives people the impression that he has never conducted a dribbling fast break.

But this time, Iverson and Iguodala got it wrong.

Just when the two of them swooped up from both sides at the same time, trying to block Lin Fei's super long shot,

Lin Fei directly dribbled the ball, accelerated, and rushed towards the frontcourt.

Lin Fei's dribbling hand and posture are basically standard, but because he rushes too fast, his overall coordination is still a bit poor, and he stumbles a little, but at least he doesn't make mistakes.

Under everyone's horrified gaze, Lin Fei dribbled quickly across the center line. His last dribble was slightly restrained, he stopped two steps outside the three-point line at the top of the arc to combine the ball, and he leaped up to take a decisive shot.

This is a standard chasing three-pointer in a fast break. With no defense in sight, Lin Fei is probably the only one who dares to shoot such a chasing three-pointer.

But when did Lin Fei shoot a three-pointer after a dribble?

This is probably also the first time I've experienced panic.

"Shh!"

As the basketball hollowed into the net, Lin Fei got rid of the inertia after landing, turned over excitedly, punched and roared:

"Playoffs, here I come!"

As early as the end of March in the regular season, Lin Fei's defensive value had reached 99, so he decisively began to add some dribbling attributes.

Every basketball attribute improved rapidly at the beginning, so in less than half a month, Lin Fei's dribbling quickly reached the passing level of 60 points.

He also began to learn and compare dribbling skills with Williams and Wade in training, and kept trying to make three-pointers after dribbling.

As for tonight's opening game of the playoffs, Lin Fei's dribbling attributes have improved to 68 points, which is significantly higher than his level before entering the league.

The defense is almost full at 99 points, coupled with the dribbling above the passing line, and the incredible three-point attribute of 99 points,

Let Lin Fei, in this offensive and defensive transition, double blocks + dribble and quickly chase down the body for a three-pointer, truly achieving a smooth and gorgeous offensive and defensive transition!

Lin Fei in this year's playoffs is destined to bring even greater surprises to the fans.
