Basketball starts with breathing

Chapter 66 Can't Be Your Girlfriend First

As the founder of Anta Group, a leading enterprise in Jinjiang, Ding Shizhong, despite his youth, has a very keen judgment on the development of sports brands.

The three of them founded Anta for ten years. Even if they didn’t understand anything at the beginning, ten years taught him a lot.

He knows that sometimes a lot of things can not be done for granted.

Since the reform and opening up, my country's economy has gradually become market-oriented, and the sports industry has developed more freely.

The Anta brand signed Kong Linghui as its image spokesperson the year before last, launched the brand slogan "I choose what I like", and pioneered the marketing model of "sports star + CCTV" in China.

Sports such as badminton and table tennis are all covered by the Anta brand.

Only basketball, Ding Shizhong has never been able to find a suitable candidate, especially in the NBA market. The attention to the NBA in China is increasing, and Anta also wants to take a share of the NBA market.

Several other domestic brands have this idea.

But no one dared to move.

At the beginning, several brands also competed for Wang Zhizhi's endorsement, but after Wang Zhizhi's entry into the NBA became a problem, everyone retreated.

No matter how attractive the cake is, it can't get too hot.

What kind of urine is the basketball association? Those of them who are sports brands know that when Ma Jian went to play in the NCAA in the United States, no one wanted him when he came back.

Wang Zhizhi was selected by the Mavericks the year before, and he didn't even go.

However, the appearance of Lu Yu made Ding Shizhong unable to sit still. He inquired about it. Several other brands are still very secretive about the basketball market, but Ding Shizhong wanted to give it a try.

Lu Yu is different from Wang Zhizhi and Ma Jian. Lu Yu is not a player trained by the domestic system, so he is often not under the control of the Basketball Association and CBA teams.

Such players can completely operate in accordance with the process of signing NBA players abroad by Adidas and Nike.

The only thing that worries Ding Shizhong is that when Lu Yu is famous, if the national team calls Lu Yu, will the two sides have conflicts due to the conflict of schedule or training time, and if this happens, how will Anta deal with it.

There is another situation, the Basketball Association will not directly ignore Lu Yu.

If Lu Yu can't make it to the NBA in the end, and he's not welcome when he returns to China, wouldn't he be exactly the same as Ma Jian back then?
There are also two schools of thought within the company.

Some people think that now is not a good time to enter the basketball market. It is better to wait until the basketball association has a clear attitude, or when the domestic enthusiasm for the NBA has risen to a height that cannot be suppressed by public opinion, it is not too late to enter.

The other part feels that the opportunity is not to be missed. When the opportunity and the market are mature, if they want to cut in again, they will definitely pay a huge price.

Ding Shizhong was hesitant, so he decided to take a look for himself.

The first half of the game is coming to an end. Lu Yu has scored 19 points, 4 assists and 3 rebounds. Gonzaga is also temporarily leading. Ding Shizhong is even more excited, and the scale in his heart slowly begins to tilt towards the second opinion. .

After the timeout, the Michigan Spartans players came on stage again, ready to play the final attack.

Tom Izzo also found that the Gonzaga Bulldogs' tactics had been adjusted, from the previous three-back tactics to Lu Yu's personal attack, which caught himself by surprise.

Fortunately, relying on Zach Randolph's advantage in the interior, they can still bite the score.

Zach Randolph continued to mention the high-position pick-and-roll for Richardson, who was attacking the ball. Lu Yu was solidly blocked and hit Zach Randolph. Casey Green switched to Jason Richard. Desen.

Jason Richardson dribbled under the crotch and accelerated past Casey Green.

He's going for a layup.

At this moment, a figure quickly came over from one side, jumped high, and pressed one hand on the ball.

Richardson's layup is blocked!

He glanced angrily, and it was Blake Stepp who blocked him, and after Blake Stepp blocked him, he didn't grab the basketball he blocked, but showed his biceps, right He shouted loudly at Richardson: "Listen, you are the parallel importer! Big parallel importer!"

There was something wrong with the man, and Richardson ignored him.

The basketball was grabbed by Zach Good. He threw a long pass directly to the frontcourt. Lu Yu swept past the sideline like a leopard, picked up the basketball, and put the basketball into the basket with a three-step layup.

There was applause from the audience.

Lu Yu's fast break really depends on his excellent consciousness. From the direction of Blake's blocking shot, he judged that Zach Goode might grab it.

Then he went straight to the fast break without looking back. This series of thoughts was only for a moment. The players of the Michigan Spartans had no time to react at all, and could only watch the ball and sigh.

"Lu, did you see my cap?" Blake Stepp was still arrogant when he walked off the court.

Lu Yu nodded.

"It's a pity you didn't dunk..."

Lu Yu gave him a white look. If he grabbed the ball immediately after blocking the shot, the fast break of the ball would be smoother. When the ball was grabbed by Zach Good and then passed out, there was no good chance.

When Zach Good passed the ball, there was still interference from the opponent. The position of the ball was not very good. When Lu Yu took off, he found that he was a little far from the basket, and the sole of his foot just stepped on the sticker area. A little slippery.

He didn't want to be like the Golden State villain, dunking and slipping under the rim.

Gonzaga ended the first half with a six-point lead. Michigan Spartans head coach Tom Izzo found helplessly that it seemed a bit difficult for the team to limit Lu Yu's offense because this player was too comprehensive.

Suddenly, it seems that his physical condition is not the top.

But basketball is not a sport that competes with physical fitness. Defense, awareness, and offensive methods are also very important, and these are precisely what Lu Yu is best at.

Don't look at being only six points behind now, if you can't find a way to break Lu Yu's attack, it's very likely that the game will be explained here.

Damn!

All teams have always believed that the Gonzaga Bulldogs are the most powerful defense at No. 10.

No one would have thought that in the regular season, only a little bit of Lu Yu was shown, and his infinite fire scoring mode was Gonzaga's secret weapon.

Tom Izzo frowned.

If the players are arranged to strangle Lu Yu, then Lu Yu can continue to play as a three-guard and become a playmaking shooting guard instead.

If he wants to destroy Lu Yu's organization, he will definitely give Lu Yu a chance to break through the defense line and score easily.

This kind of core that can attack, pass and defend, where did Mark Foyo find it?
He suddenly envied Mark Foyo, a rookie.

The commentator is analyzing the game in the first half. Compared with analyzing the game, he prefers to analyze Lu Yu.

"Let's imagine, if Lu Yu enters the NBA this year, will the NBA team rush it? Lu Yu is very good and should be regarded as one of the best players in this NCAA..."

Then he turned around.

"However, he should encounter greater challenges in playing in the NBA. Compared with the NCAA, the NBA has more serious illegal hands. The defenders will encounter many difficulties, and each team prefers big players. I think Lu Yu's Shun bit may not be too high."

"Some time ago, Domingos High School star Tyson Chandler announced his participation in this year's draft. He has the opportunity to become this year's No. [-] overall pick. Among international players, Spain's Pau Gasol has also won the favor of various teams. , big men like them are the favorites of NBA teams."

"I'm more optimistic about Lu Yu being selected with the fifth to tenth picks. Of course, I also need to see which teams are the fifth to tenth picks..."

As soon as Lu Yu walked off the stage, he sat down, and Anne Hathaway behind him immediately handed over the water.

Lu Yuchong smiled at her, twisted it, and unexpectedly found that the bottle cap had been twisted open.

"New, I just unscrewed it and didn't drink it."

Lu Yu took a "hmm" and asked while drinking water, "Where's Old Lu, why didn't you see him?"

"Uncle said he went out for a cigarette," Anne Hathaway replied.

During the halftime of the game, Lu Chaoyang couldn't stand the cheerleading dancing at the scene. He happened to be addicted to smoking and went out to take a sip.

"Oh."

Seeing that his teammates had walked back to the locker room, Lu Yu joked, "By the way, does my dad ask you for the ticket money?"

Anne Hathaway was stunned for a moment, then opened her eyes wide to look at Lu Yu, her peach blossom eyes were simple and charming, her rosy lips trembled slightly, and she whispered, "Well, I'll give the money to Uncle Lu..."

Lu Yu shook his head: "I mean you don't have to give it, Lao Lu won't take money from his future daughter-in-law."

Anne Hathaway's cheeks were flushed.

He seemed a little scared and didn't dare to look into Lu Yu's eyes.

"I, I just watch a game, can I not be your girlfriend first."
