NBA: This Center Is So Stable

The Knicks have been in the limelight for a long time.

Chapter 95: Gaining both fame and fortune, sneaker design

The Knicks got off to a great start with 12 consecutive wins.

It not only caused a great response in New York, but also caused turmoil in the league. A team that was a bottom-ranked team last season actually topped the league in the new season, which almost made the entire league start to pay attention to and speculate about the Knicks.

The focus is on the process of the Knicks’ rebirth.

This is very important for many team executives. Learning from the successful experiences of other teams is a compulsory course for them.

And the speculation is about where the Knicks’ winning streak will end!

This is a question that many people are concerned about. Fans, celebrities, media, teams and other forces all want to know how far the current Knicks can go.

But before that,

The Player of the Month selection after the November games took over the limelight.

As early as the 1990s, the Player of the Month selection was more valuable than it is now, and there was no East-West division at that time.

The competition is so fierce that one player is selected every month from the entire NBA arena.

Even in the entire season, there are only 6 chances to get this honor.

In the past two years, the official reformed this award and divided it into the East-West Player of the Month.

But even so, the league was in a bloody storm.

Among them, the Western Conference was the most exaggerated!

Peja, Garnett, Kobe, Nowitzki… a group of superstars are eyeing it.

Among them, Peja Stojakovic of the Kings and Kevin Garnett of the Timberwolves have the highest voices.

Peja scored 23 points, 5.8 rebounds and 2.3 assists!

The data panel is not outstanding, but the efficiency is good, with a shooting percentage of 52.3% and a three-point shooting percentage of 43%.

And the Sacramento Kings got a record of 11 wins and 2 losses in the first month, ranking first and second with the Lakers.

And the Timberwolves!

Garnett scored 21.4 points, 11 rebounds, 5.8 assists and 2 blocks, which fully demonstrated the personal charm of the new wolf king.

And helped the team get a good record of 10 wins and 3 losses.

The two popular candidates are evenly matched, and both have their strengths and weaknesses.

When the West was hotly discussing the strengths and weaknesses of the two players, many fans also cast their votes of support.

In the end, Peja Stojakovic, who had a better team record, won the first month award, and Garnett lost!

This made Garnett a little angry after the game. After being nominated for the Western Conference Player of the Month, he made a domineering statement directly to the media, saying that he would lead the Timberwolves to a better record in December to win the award.

This spirit has been supported by many Timberwolves fans!

It has been a long time since Minnesota has seen such a tough new wolf king.

So they criticized the NBA officials after the results of the selection came out.

Compared with the controversial selection in the West.

The result of the Eastern Conference review was known before it even started!

One of the best records in the East, MVP in 9 out of 10 games, and a rookie!

These three factors combined, they couldn’t think that this award could be awarded to any player other than Wang Song.

Averaged 24 points, 14 rebounds and 4.9 blocks in the first month, led the team to 12 consecutive wins, directly leading the entire league.

Won the Player of the Month selection without any suspense!

This made the NBA official jury very happy. They only needed to close their eyes and write the name of the Knicks rookie, and the Eastern Conference Player of the Month had already been decided!

Wang Song won the title of Player of the Week for the first time in his career!

LeBron James, the only player in the Eastern Conference who could pose a threat to him, lost a game a few days ago and completely lost his competitiveness.

So in the battle for the Eastern Conference Player of the Month, Wang Song has no rivals at all!

After being reported by major media, the news of the Player of the Month spread, and the Knicks teammates expressed envy.

Just as they were about to send their heartfelt blessings on the second day of training, Wang Song missed the team’s training game.

Just as they were curious about where this guy was going, Nash, the only insider in the Knicks team, came out to reveal Wang Song’s dynamics.

When the Knicks learned from the Son of Wind that Wang Song went to communicate with the brand about the design of sneakers today, they all gritted their teeth in envy.

“Damn you, Wang! He has his own signature sneakers at such a young age, and he can even participate in the design!”

Alan Houston’s eyes were filled with

It was resentful, and his face was full of envy.

You have to know that he, a top shooter in the NBA, doesn’t have this opportunity. The signature shoes of those big brand sneaker manufacturers are for those top superstars, not for shooters like him.

As for small manufacturers, the risk is too high, and they probably don’t have the ability to operate.

So Alan Houston only signed an ordinary sneaker contract. To exaggerate, there are only a handful of players in the entire Knicks team who have sneaker contracts.

“Alan, those are not signature sneakers… they are his own sneaker brand.”

Nash’s faint voice made everyone in the Knicks no longer calm.

The Knicks suddenly became restless.

“Damn it! It seems that the Knicks will soon launch a commercial superstar!”

“Steve, wait for Mr. Wang to come back and ask him if I have the opportunity to sign with him. Hehe~ I also want my own sneakers.”

···

Facing the restless teammates, Nash smiled embarrassedly.

Most NBA role players don’t play for fame, playing is just a job for them.

Salary and compensation are what attract them!

And Wang Song, this fledgling Chinese boy.

He has only played for about a month, not only has a million-level commercial endorsement, but also a sky-high sneaker contract, and is working on building his own sneaker brand.

This terrifying commercial influence makes his teammates envious!

But when you think of Wang Song’s performance on the court, he can be said to have earned this money.

···

In David Falk’s office.

Anta sneaker designer is communicating details with Wang Song, and David Falk is watching on the side.

“Wang, I think the shoe last can be raised a little bit!”

“I hope it’s a pair of high-top shoes, and the heel should be high enough to protect the ankle…”

Wang Song looked sideways at the product made by Anta designers under the command of David Falk, and couldn’t help but complain: “Mr. Falk, the name of your shoes, I guess it should be Air Jordan 2!”

The abrupt appearance of the sneakers in the rendering made Wang Song’s mouth twitch slightly.

David Falk, who was awakened, realized that the design draft in front of him could not be said to be exactly the same as AJ, but could only be said to be exactly the same.

Falk smiled embarrassedly and took the initiative to make room for Wang Song to play.

Wang Song personally took part in the battle. Naturally, he would not design sneakers according to the aesthetics of the 1990s. He directly told Party B his requirements according to the standards of modern people in 23 years.
