Chapter 644 The Three Deadly Sins(1/2)
then……
One month later.
The 2010 Men's Basketball World Championships officially started in Türkiye.
Although the starlight is a little dim, the game still attracted a lot of attention because it is a long-term game in the NBA.
As the double champion of the World Championships and the Olympics, the Chinese team is naturally also the focus of attention.
Although Sun Hao did not participate in the competition, he still sent a video to the national team to encourage him. He would naturally follow the competition.
Although he is not suitable for playing such high-intensity games because he gains weight, he is still with the national team.
The opponent of the Chinese team's first game was a tough guy, the Greek team.
The Greek team rose to the Tokyo World Championships four years ago and also performed well in the Beijing Olympics. Now their strength is second only to China and the United States.
Now the Chinese team has lost two core cores, and their strength is weaker than that of the Greek team on paper.
Not to mention that Greece was a war in Europe, taking advantage of the time, place, and people.
As soon as the game started, they took the initiative on the field.
It is important to mention here that because the relationship between Sun Hao and Adi is in a stalemate, many European fans who support Sun Hao have begun to turn from fans to black, and have also begun to be hostile to the Chinese team.
As soon as the game started, the Chinese team booed as soon as they got the ball, which was even better than away games.
Half past the first quarter, 10 to 2, the Greek team was in full swing.
At the critical moment, the person who stood up from the Chinese team was Yi Jianlian.
He first gave Spanoris a big hat, then followed up with a fast break and received a pass from Sun Yue and smashed the ball into the basket directly through the "Little Shark" Sholzanitis.
This dunk ignited the morale of the Chinese team.
And it must be said that Yi Jianlian was much stronger than Yi Jianlian in the same period of history. Not only did he grow on both offense and defense, but his passing ability also improved a lot because he played with Paul for a long time.
His low-level single attracted Zhu Fangyu, who was assigned to the outside line after double-teaming, who made a three-pointer.
Take a look at the starting lineup of the Chinese team, Yi Jianlian, Wang Zhizhi, Zhu Fangyu, Sun Yue, and Liu Wei.
Even without the two cores, this lineup is not weak with one All-Star and three NBA players, let alone a tacit understanding.
The Chinese team fought back, and the Greek team was not weak either. The two teams tied at halftime.
In the second half, the Greek team's double-teaming against Yi Jianlian was more thorough, and it was Sun Yue's turn to perform.
Sun Yue started with the Clippers. Although his NBA function is 3D, his strength in all aspects has actually been greatly improved.
When he arrives at the international arena, he can withstand the pressure.
He first received Yi Jianlian's pass and made a three-pointer, and then stole Spanoris' pass, which shocked everyone with a fast break dunk.
If you want to say that the European defender is characterized by high quality, the only one who can fight them head-on is Sun Yue, who is also a tall defender.
The two teams were still hard to distinguish and they fought until the last moment.
At this time, it was like a relay race, and it was Yi Jianlian's turn to stand up again on the Chinese team.
And I have to say that the higher the basketball sport, the more you play on the higher the stage, the more your ability, your mentality will become very different.
Yi Jianlian really dared to fight at a critical moment, and he could really make it, as if he was a big killer weapon.
And at the last moment, he scored 5 points in a row to help the Chinese team narrowly defeat Greece 89-84, and won his first victory in the World Championships.
Looking at the Chinese team members celebrating crazy in the live broadcast, Sun Hao clenched his fists unconsciously.
It seems that he didn't play in the World Championship this time.
No matter what the final result is, Yi Jianlian's ability to stand alone will not lose.
then……
Another month later.
The curtain of the World Championships fell, and the final championship belonged to Team USA.
The United States won a row of victories and won the World Championships with a complete record.
The new generation of American stars led by Durant also showed off.
Durant, especially, is the best among the new stars.
In the entire World Championships, he averaged 23 points per game, 30+ in two consecutive games, scoring the highest score of the US team in a single game, and making history with a net victory over his opponent in the quarterfinals of 55 points...
If the Japanese World Championships were just showing its strength and the Beijing Olympics was considered to be a success, then Durant would have really won the world in this World Championships.
Sun Hao also immediately sent congratulations to Durant.
According to this momentum, the US team will most likely send out the strongest lineup again in the next London Olympics.
At that time, James, Durant, Paul, Wade and others will fight against his disciples.
Let’s talk about the Chinese team, the Chinese team achieved a record of 4 wins and 1 loss in the group stage, losing to the Lithuanian team.
When they entered the knockout stage, they also won consecutive victories until they encountered the US team in the semi-finals.
Durant's 40 points were won against the Chinese team.
In the semi-finals, the Chinese team completed revenge against the Lithuanian team and successfully won a bronze medal.
Yi Jianlian scored a large double-double with 31 points and 11 rebounds in this game, which also helped him to enter the final best team.
He can still win a bronze medal without a dual core. Although it is related to the dimness of the starlight of this World Championships, the Chinese team has proved its strength.
That is, after the World Championships, Paul Fu came back from China's inspection.
After returning, he also knew why Sun Hao focused on Anta.
At this time, most sneakers in China were imitation routes, and the quality of sneakers was indeed not very good.
But if Anta had invested a lot of money at this time, it started its own R&D laboratory.
Although he is not even the number one sneaker brand in China now, the company is very benign and has great potential.
Even if Sun Hao joins, with his influence, he will introduce a lot of funds to the company and develop directly on the highway.
I gave the report I saw to Sun Hao, and Sun Hao was also very satisfied and the signing of the contract was quickly put on the agenda.
About a few days later, Sun Hao returned to China to participate in a charity competition, and the media soon revealed the news that Sun Hao and Anta signed the contract.
The news of this contract instantly ignited the basketball circle.
In the NBA today, no matter which country you are from, either Anta or Nike, other sneaker brands are basically behind the scenes.
As a result, now it’s good that Sun Hao, as the first in the league, actually signed a second-rate Chinese brand!
This is incomprehensible to most fans, especially American fans.
Who would be unable to get along with the money?
But domestic fans are having fun, Anta is about to take off!
Anta's public relations are also very fast, and Sun Hao's new personal "Sun" series of signature sneakers and Warriors' special sneakers have already made a noise.
In addition to these, their investment in developing sneakers has also been exposed, and more R&D funds are expected to be invested.
In short, the atmosphere created by this is to create a sneaker brand that can compete with Adidas and Nike.
This is amazing.
In recent years, the country has developed rapidly, and the patriotic quality of the people is also increasing, which is reflected in all walks of life.
Fans are also part of the people. Now there is a company that can compete with the momentum of world-class brands. How could they not support it?
Then, a lot of interesting things happened in the United States.
Because Sun Hao has never made any positive response to the signing of the contract, American fans curiously began to search for various Anta sneakers.
In their eyes, this kind of "inferior imported shoes" should have poor quality.
But after they got the sneakers, they unexpectedly discovered that the quality of these sneakers was actually pretty good.
Although it is a little worse than Nike Adidas' shoes, it is also limited, and the key is that the price is cheap!
Then something ridiculous happened.
There was a "Anta fever" among American fans.
This is not entirely a whim, but it is related to the national conditions of the United States.
Since the financial crisis, one thing that is easy to be overlooked is that many people in the United States have lowered their incomes, and the gap between the rich and the poor is more obvious.
What many people know is that if there is an external blow, many people will become homeless people.
It can also be understood that many people’s living standards are no longer that high.
At this time, things with high cost performance become something they are passionate about.
This is also the reason why domestic things have been sold well in the United States in recent years, because there is a market!
And because of Sun Hao, many NBA players have joined the shoe-taking craze.
Some players who love to collect sneakers are ready to buy Sun Hao's first Anta sneakers as soon as possible.
