When people set their sights on Kobe, they were also curious about Under Armour, who Kobe endorsed.

Everyone is curious to know who gave Under Armour his confidence, gave a sky-high school endorsement of 7 years and 80 million to a high school student who didn’t play a game, and gave him two pairs of signature shoes at the same time for the first time in history.

“A bunch of ignorant people, you will be dumbfounded when Kobe’s shoes are sold out.” Xiao Yang was very calm at this time, after all, after experiencing James’ 7-year impact of 90 million, knowing that a star with a large fan base is simply a money printer for manufacturers.

“How’s it going?” Xiao Yang held the phone and asked.

“The stores in various places have all been renovated, and the first batch of goods from the OEM side has been laid.” On the other end of the phone was Plank, who was busy like a dog during this time.

“And in addition to the shoes you designed, several designers of the company also came up with some design drafts, and I selected a batch to supplement them, and it is impossible to enter a specialty store only those few.”

Plank is very excited, the previous Under Armour is about to go bankrupt, and he can’t see the future at all, but now he is full of spirit, Under Armour is also developing rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye, and he is the actual helm of this commercial giant, Xiao Yang is simply shaking the palm cabinet, basically think of it before asking.

“Good, continue to prepare, the advertising channels on the media side must also be ready, when the regular season starts, I want all of Under Armour’s flagship stores to open at the same time, and the prepared advertisements will also be launched to the market.” Xiao Yang was satisfied with Plank’s efficiency.

Xiao Yang did not announce the appearance of the two pairs of signed shoes at the press conference signing with Kobe, and Under Armour has always maintained a sense of mystery about Kobe’s two pairs of shoes, hanging the public’s appetite.

And as time passed, the public’s attention shifted from Kobe Bryant to the two pairs of signature shoes, and Under Armour’s secrecy work was done well, except for a few so-called spy photos in the media, no news was revealed.

Everyone is also more and more curious, more eager to know what these two shoes look like.

Xiao Yang’s trick is still learned from those technology companies in the future, especially Apple, these mobile phone companies, every time a new product is released, the so-called spy photos, silhouettes are circulated months in advance, the attention is the highest and then released new products, the effect is very good.

With Under Armour’s pre-preparations proceeding in an orderly manner, the NBA preseason has officially begun.

The Lakers’ preseason game has attracted the attention of many fans, after all, the Lakers signed O’Neal this summer, and frequently made some trades, and fans are eager to know how the team has become after a summer, even if it is only a preseason.

The first preseason game was the Lakers home game against the Timberwolves, Staples was full before 6 o’clock, many reporters also occupied the sidelines, the first game of the Sharks to change teams, and the Lakers, they didn’t want to miss the game and be scolded by the owner.

“There are so many people, so many people in pre-season.” Charlize and Xiao Yang sat on the sidelines, as a hardcore lake honey Charlize did not even shoot a movie in order to watch the game, took leave to watch the game, of course, or because he hadn’t seen Xiao Yang for a long time, he specially came to meet him.

Xiao Yangmei looked at the full stadium, and he was still calculating how many tickets he could sell this season.

“Of course, we’re the Los Angeles Lakers, Los Angeles, the Lakers, and the combination of those words is enough reason to buy a ticket to come in.” Xiao Yang cocked his chin very arrogantly.

“Look at you like that~” Charlize secretly pinched the soft flesh around Xiao Yang’s waist and tugged at it.

“Oops~ I’m telling the truth, otherwise they came to see the timberwolves.” Xiao Yang rubbed the pinched place painfully.

Although the Timberwolves have Garnett, Garnett at this time is only a rookie who has just entered his second year, not yet the future Predator King, and there should not be so many fans.

The only one Xiao Yang named was Marbury, who was traded to the Timberwolves after being drafted by the Bucks with the fourth pick this summer, while the Timberwolves paid the No. 5 pick Ray Allen.

Oh, and there is also a little impression of Xiao Yang, Sam Mitchell, Xiao Yang knows this person because when Kobe Bryant slaughtered the dragon with 81 points, the Raptors’ head coach at that time was this brother, but he didn’t understand the impression of Mitchell’s player period.

The time soon arrived at eight o’clock sharp, and the players from both sides entered, and you could see the fans’ love for the Sharks, because when the Sharks appeared in the final finale, the cheers of the audience suddenly increased several times, and the huge sound seemed to lift the roof, and the feverish scene did not see that this was just a preseason game.

And O’Neill also enjoyed the enthusiasm of the fans at the moment, and he also put his hand next to his ear, and waved to the audience with the other hand, indicating that everyone’s voice could be louder.

After seeing O’Neill’s actions, the decibels of the stadium were raised another notch, and the fans were like the New Year.

Xiao Yang saw this scene with some toothache, specially, labor and management still think of the opportunity to replace O’Neill next year, see if this situation trades O’Neill, fans must not manically block their doors with guns.

The egg looked at the side painfully, and found that Charlize was also shouting madly, Xiao Yang patted his forehead depressedly, this thing is not easy to get ah, if you don’t get it right, maybe Charlize won’t let himself go to bed.

“Beep~” The whistle at the beginning of the game interrupted Xiao Yang’s thoughts, forget it, next year, isn’t there another year, who said that the minds of good fans, especially fans in big cities like Los Angeles, the mind changes quickly, and the thoughts at night may be different from the morning.

Xiao Yang collected his emotions and turned his eyes to the court, he wanted to see if Kobe’s rookies had improved after an offseason of training.

The Lakers’ starting lineup is center O’Neal, power forward Robert Horry, small forward Eddie Jones, shooting guard Kobe, point guard Fisher, and the starting partners in the backcourt are actually two rookies this year, which is a bit unexpected to the audience.

Xiao Yang is also a little sore, who let his brain heat up and take players out for draft picks, as a result, the pit left by Seballos and Van Exel can only be filled by rookies.

In order to remedy the weak backcourt depth, West signed Vaughn Fleming, who was in the Nets last season, in the free agency market, and could cut 14 plus 7 playmakers at his peak, but now he is 34 years old, if not for the Lakers to sign him, it is estimated that he will retire directly, West signed him back just to top ten minutes, by the way to be Fisher’s mentor.

And at Xiao Yang’s repeated request, Eldon Campbell, the first backup center of the Lakers, took it to trade Bobby Phils with the Cavaliers, in addition to adding depth to the backcourt, or to make room for Big Ben, after all, O’Neal has to shout tired every 32 minutes, and the remaining 16 minutes are just right for Big Ben, and the center is handed over to these two, it’s really not okay that the team also has a third center, but it’s a water cooler.

Not surprisingly, this will also be the starting lineup of the Lakers regular season, after all, Xiao Yang does not have much requirements for the record this season, he just took this season out to train those rookies, can enter the playoffs, the specific step depends on whether the dead fat man can burst.

Thinking of this, Xiao Yang looked at O’Neal, who was playing on the back with a pass from Fisher, and the Sharks were facing Dean Garnett of the Timberwolves (not the Wolf King, the other Garnett).

Dean, who is only 2.08 tall and weighs just over 100 kilograms, was like a minor in front of O’Neill, was gently bumped by O’Neill, covered his chest and popped out the bottom line, O’Neill easily turned around with his iconic hands bursting buttons.

This dunk detonated the audience, the audience exploded, and the big screen also played back O’Neill’s brutal scene again and again.

Xiao Yang looked at Dean who was still sitting on the ground grinning, the corners of his mouth twitched, poor baby, is this offending the head coach, thin and hemp like a pole was sent to top O’Neill, it is estimated that when O’Neill comes two more backs, he will have to call an ambulance.

Then Garnett returned a signature rollover jumper, the big long arm, Horry simply didn’t even stretch out his hand, watching Garnett easily score two points, Garnett roared angrily after scoring, beating his chest while retreating, and vaguely saw the shadow of the future wolf king.

The two teams played the first quarter of the game back and forth, Kobe Bryant did not shoot much in this quarter, shot 0 of 1, only scored two points on free throws, but sent 3 assists and 2 steals, it can be seen that he took Xiao Yang’s words to heart.

Xiao Yang is very satisfied with the performance of the Lakers, it can be seen that everyone is playing with ease, or there is a harvest, if it were a regular season, it might have taken a long time ago, the Sharks only played eight minutes and left, it seems that it is estimated that he will not play this game.

The Timberwolves can see that they are playing the game with all their strength, but the Lakers have sharks, and just relying on O’Neal alone in the Timberwolves’ penalty area can call the wind and rain, and the two sides played a quarter of the game to 25-28, and the Lakers led by three points.

The good news, though, is that the Sharks probably won’t play again, and there’s still a game to play.
