Back in 84, he became Jordan’s lifelong enemy!

Chapter 115 Sneaker sales exploded!

"With Thiel Bailey hitting the buzzer beater and Mike Mitchell missing the last shot, the Spurs ultimately lost to the Jazz 102:104 with a margin of 2 points, ending the last regular season game of the season. The 84/85 season has come to an end."

"This season's regular season record rankings have also been finally determined. The Boston Celtics are at the top of this season's record with 63 wins and 19 losses. The Los Angeles Lakers have even started the season."

"I have to say that the quality of this year's rookies is very high, especially the 84-star double star. Su Wen from the SuperSonics and Su Wen from the Bulls."

Is this how the regular season ends?

In his own home, Su Wen, who was watching sports news on a local TV station, stretched out, looked up at the ceiling, and fell into deep thought.

His debut season, excluding the upcoming playoffs, is over.

This season, he is satisfied with his performance.

Both the average data per game and the team's record exceeded his expectations.

With full-level talent and full-level offensive strength, he never expected that he would be so perfect in the first season of his career.

I thought it would be great to surpass Jordan.

Who knew that not only did he surpass Danzi, but he also directly won the scoring title? Is there anything more satisfying than this?

The only pity is that in the end the team failed to calm down in the second half of the regular season and maintain its position at the top of the list.

But fortunately, there is only so much time to come!

This is only the first season of his career, and his current results are just enough to give him room for improvement in the future.

Good!

60 wins and 22 losses.

Su Wen had a smile on his face.

That's good, at least we don't have to meet the Los Angeles Lakers in advance.

In the previous life, the Lakers were the championship this season. They successfully avenged the Celtics, winning one loss and one win. This year, the black and white duo finally lived up to their reputation.

The team that can win the championship is naturally not an ordinary strong team.

The strength of their lineup, the thickness of their bench, and their team's heritage are all things the Sonics currently cannot shake.

Regardless of the fact that the SuperSonics and the Lakers played five games in the regular season, with 3 wins and 2 losses, in fact, Su Wen and the others still took advantage of the Lakers' poor early season state.

If it were the Lakers in the second half of the season, the winning-losing relationship between the two sides would at least be reversed.

The results are pretty good now.

Su Wenmo calculated their opponents in the playoffs.

The Eastern Conference record rankings are:

1. Boston Celtics, 63 wins and 19 losses;

2. Milwaukee Bucks, 59 wins and 23 losses;

3. Philadelphia 76ers, 58 wins and 24 losses;

4. Detroit Pistons, 46 wins and 36 losses;

5. New Jersey Nets, 42 wins and 40 losses;

6. Washington Bullets, 40 wins and 42 losses;

7. Chicago Bulls, 38 wins and 44 losses;

8. Cleveland Cavaliers, 36 wins, 46;

The Western Conference record rankings are:

1. Los Angeles Lakers, 62 wins and 20 losses;

2. Seattle SuperSonics, 60 wins and 22 losses;

3. Denver Nuggets, 52 wins and 30 losses;

4. Houston Rockets, 48 wins and 34 losses;

5. Dallas Mavericks, 44 wins and 38 losses;

6. Utah Jazz, 41 wins and 41 losses;

7. San Antonio Spurs, 41 wins and 41 losses;

8. Phoenix Suns 36 wins and 46 losses.

Ranked second in the Western Conference, they will fight against the seventh team, and seventh is the Spurs.

Due to the relationship between victory and defeat, the Spurs and Jazz lost three of the five games, so they could only settle for seventh place with the same record.

To be honest, Su Wen feels that whether it is the Spurs or the Jazz, he is confident of defeating them and advancing to the next round.

These two teams have super core players like Su Wen, the former scoring champions, George Gervin and Adrian Dantley, but one has entered the late stages of his peak, and the other has just recovered from a serious injury and is not in good condition. Stablize.

They are no match!

Su Wen forcibly found confidence in himself and was in a good mood.

He walked out and sat on the edge of the swimming pool, thinking that it would be better if all the awards were announced directly after the regular season. Then he could directly unlock the next ability and face the playoffs with a stronger attitude. .

If you unlock the three-point ability, hehe

Unfortunately, the experience points he has accumulated so far are only a little over 6000, and the next unlock requires 10000 experience points, and he also needs to obtain several honors and so on. Only after it is full can he unlock it.

Just as he was sitting there thinking wildly, the phone in the living room suddenly rang.

As he walked back to pick it up, Tom Chambers' voice sounded across the street.

The other party was in a good mood and asked him to go out to play as soon as he opened his mouth. He said he wanted to go to a nightclub to have fun.

Su Wen refused because he had something to do tomorrow and he was not interested in this kind of nightlife.

After hanging up the phone, I glanced at the wall clock and found that it was getting late, so I went upstairs to sleep.

He is really busy tomorrow and has two commercials to shoot.

This is the side effect of signing too many endorsements.

After the All-Star Weekend, on almost every day off, he had to spend time cooperating with commercial shooting and attending business activities. He was so busy that he didn't get a good rest at all.

The end of the regular season is also three days away from their first playoff game.

In other words, they only have two days to rest.

But his teammates can rest, but he can't.

The next day, in the morning, he finished shooting Coca-Cola and was about to go home to rest. A young man following him suddenly said: "Su, Funing is here."

This young man is his agent, now a minority shareholder of his own angel investment company, and a newcomer vigorously cultivated by Funing Valante.

He has been officially on the job for a month now and exists as Su Wen's manager assistant.

The other party told him that Valante was waiting at a Reebok flagship store in Seattle, this city, and asked him if he could go and meet him.

The flagship store in Seattle where the Reebok brand is located?

Su Wen thought for a while and could probably guess what Valante asked him to do.

He didn't refuse and drove to the Space Needle with the young agent assistant.

"I got it, I got it, haha!"

"Me too. As soon as the advertisement for this pair of shoes came out, I placed an order, and now I finally got it. It's great!"

“It’s so good-looking, it’s comparable to Nike’s Jordan 1.”

"I also have the Jordan generation, haha!"

"Wow, is this what the Lightning Generation is really like? I love it!"

"I heard it's a Chinese dragon? Wow!!! It's so cool!"    "What color did you buy? Mine is Supersonics home dark green."

"Mine is red and white."

"Wait for me, wait for me!"

"Oh my god, there are so many people. I hope I still have my pair."

When Su and Wen drove to the gate of the flagship store, they were startled by the huge crowd of customers.

These customers walked out of the store one by one, holding the Lightning Generation packaging box, as if they had won a lottery, holding it high and dancing, overjoyed.

More people were queuing up, forming two long lines, looking forward to it.

When these people in line saw the guy who had already got the shoes, dancing around with his packaging box in the air, he became more and more anxious and wanted to rush into the store.

If he hadn't seen these two long queues, Su Wen would have thought he had encountered a zero-yuan purchase.

Seeing the dark crowd at the scene, almost hundreds or even thousands of people, Su Wen couldn't help but be speechless.

He didn't expect the response to the ad to be so good.

"How about we go in through the back door, Sue?"

Seeing so many people at the scene, the young brokerage assistant felt a little overwhelmed.

Fortunately, they appeared at the back door and were still in the corner parking area. There were some obstacles blocking their appearance, otherwise, they would have been surrounded.

"it is good!"

Su Wen also knew the principle of keeping a low profile, so under the leadership of his assistant, he turned into the alley and walked towards the back door of the flagship store.

"Su, Su!"

Su Wen entered the lounge of the flagship store, and Valante, who was observing the situation outside just now, walked in.

He still held several forms in his hand, walked up to Su Wen excitedly, and said excitedly: "Su, it's sold out, it's sold out."

"What's sold out?" Su Wen asked him with a smile.

"The Lightning Generation that was just replenished has been sold out. It has only been less than a day." Valante handed him the form in his hand, "I just ordered 500 pairs, and they are sold out again."

"Five hundred pairs?"

Su Wen was a little surprised. He looked intently at the form in his hand, which clearly recorded the sales of the flagship store's products.

Among them, the Lightning Generation was circled with a red ballpoint pen, and he could see it clearly.

On the form where this Lightning Generation is located, 500 words were clearly written in the quantity column and were crossed out.

Crossed out means sold out.

Not only that, the table also records the sales of this pair of shoes within a week of being put on the shelves.

On the first day, 500 pairs were distributed and sold out in one day.

After restocking on the third day, 800 pairs were sold out in two days.

When the latest replenishment of 500 pairs came on the shelves, it was gone in just 10 hours.

A flagship store sold 1800 pairs in one week, which is terrifying.

The scariest thing is that the 500 pairs newly restocked today were sold out in just 10 hours, which is simply unbelievable.

Reebok has about a dozen stores in Seattle, including five flagship stores. If all the stores were so grand, Su Wen could not imagine how many pairs of Lightning Generations were sold this week.

If you add more than 300 stores across the United States, how many will it be?

Of course, this cannot be calculated.

After all, this flagship store is here in Seattle, the home base of the Supersonics, so it is such a grand occasion.

It is also because this is the home base of Supersonics that the Reebok brand will give priority to the stores here, and the distribution volume can be so large.

Doesn’t that mean there are still many people who haven’t bought it?

Su Wen remembered that there were two long queues outside the store, shook his head and smiled bitterly.

"I didn't expect it, I didn't expect it." Valante looked at Su Wen and marveled again and again, "Our pair of shoes actually had such a huge response. I guess the Michael Jordan of the Bulls and his Jordan generation can't compare to this grand occasion. .”

"But they have sold more than 900,000 pairs, Funing."

Su Wen didn't dare to be so optimistic.

Because Jordan and Nike had already signed a contract before the Los Angeles Olympics and began to build the Jordan generation, it went on the market three or four months earlier than him.

In other words, the Jordan generation has been on sale since January 1st, giving it a huge first-mover advantage.

And those 900,000 pairs were the national sales data that Su Wen saw in the newspaper at the beginning of last month.

In fact, it must be far more than this number.

Think about it, the retail price of each pair of Jordan shoes was only $65, but in 85, Nike achieved revenue of nearly $1.3 million, allowing Nike to take off.

With sales of 1.3 million US dollars and two million pairs, one can imagine how popular the Jordan generation is.

Now, their lightning generation has just hit the road.

"It's okay Sue!"

Valante said confidently: "I think the Lightning generation will not be worse than the Jordan generation, we will wait and see!"
