I’m Really Playing Basketball

After sending Carter and Jokic away, the Warriors also held a signing welcome awareness for the team's two rookies, Jarrett Allen and John Collins.

Neither of them were high draft picks, but the Warriors still gave them a lot of respect.

At the signing ceremony of the two, Chen Xiao, Wade and Ron Howard, the leading players of the three teams, also attended.

This moved the two young people badly.

You must know that in this year's draft, the signing ceremony of the 76ers with the No. 1 pick, Fultz they selected and the Heat's Ball with the No. 2 pick, their signing ceremony was not so grand.

In this year's rookie signing ceremony, I am afraid that only this year's third overall pick, Tatum, who was selected by the Bobcats, can be comparable.

After all, at Tatum's signing ceremony, NBA superstar legends such as Jordan, Rose, Cousins ​​and Roy were all in attendance.

It stands to reason that Tatum's specifications should not be so high.

But apparently, the Bobcats went up and down to offset the impact of Jimmy Butler's departure.

The reason why the Bobcats traded Butler so decisively is because Houston's draft pick is OK this year.

You can choose Xiao Chenxiao Tatum, whom Jordan likes very much.

To be fair, since Bennett was selected with the No. 1 pick from Houston in 2013, the pressure on Joe Boss in the draft is still great.

But this time, Boss Qiao didn't hesitate. After all, Xiao Chen Xiao, this is his favorite. Even if it's water, he will recognize it.

And Bennett really made Jordan very unfair.

Because Bennett wasn't his style of player, picking him was because the team needed a power forward at the time.

Therefore, since Bennett, Jordan has determined his own draft style, that is, what kind of players the team lacks is not as good as what kind of players he likes, and there are players with his favorite style.

It is indeed quite lucky to be able to select a player that I like in such a young draft year.

In fact, in this year's draft, most teams can't find players they like.

So there are a lot of high-level rookies traded in the draft.

For example, the Nuggets selected Donovan Mitchell with the No. 8 pick and then sent Mitchell to the Utah Jazz.

The Warriors' two rookies this year can be said to be all in exchange.

After welcoming the team's two newcomers, Chen Xiao, Wade and Ron Howard set off for this year's China trip.

At the same time, among the players who have traveled to China this year are Curry of the Bucks, Rose and Roy of the Bobcats, and James of the Cavaliers.

This lineup can be described as infinite luxury.

After all, in today's NBA, if you want to talk about the top ten players in the league, these seven players, except Roy, can all rank in the top ten.

And these six top ten players in the NBA are all contracted players of "First Sports".

Chen Xiao, James, Wade, Luo Ge, the sports brand "First Sports" jointly established by them and Hongxing Erke in 2008 has developed very rapidly after almost 10 years of development.

Especially in the past ten years, the status and popularity of these players signed by No. 1 Sports in the NBA has risen, and the current limelight of No. 1 Sports is extremely ferocious.

Let's just say, the players on this trip to China are not all of the first sports.

The contracted stars of No. 1 Sports, and the retired veteran superstars include Yao Ming, Kobe, Garnett and so on.

In addition to these seven stars, there are Chris Xiaopao, Jokic, Devin Booker, Klay, Kawhi Leonard and other players.

Therefore, in the 2016-17 financial report just released by No. 1 Sports, the sales of No. 1 Sports has exceeded 15 billion US dollars in the whole fiscal year, of which the annual sales of shoes is 11 billion US dollars, accounting for the proportion of total sales. It is more than 70%.

It may seem that No. 1 Sports relies entirely on shoe sales, but it's not at all.

After all, even for hooks, their shoe sales account for more than 58% of sales.

The sales of hooks in the last fiscal year were US$25 billion, and the sales of shoes were US$15 billion, accounting for 60%.

Therefore, for sports brands, the sales of shoes is the main force, and selling clothes and equipment is actually secondary.

In terms of sales, No. 1 Sports seems to be far from the hook, with a difference of $10 billion in sales between the two sides.

But in reality, that's not the case.

Don't forget, the first sports, the main focus is basketball, and the hook is the whole sports industry chain.

In the industrial chain of world sports brands, Hook and Adi are the whole industry chain. Hook's foundation is NBA and American basketball, while Adi's foundation is European football.

Now with the rise of No. 1 Sports, its foundation has been dug up, and in football, it has been madly competed by Adi.

The life of the hook is not very good now.

This can be seen in the sales of hooks.

Historically, Hook’s sales exceeded 30.3 billion US dollars in fiscal years 14-15. In this time and space, in the 2016-2017 fiscal year, Hook’s sales were only 25 billion US dollars.

It can be seen how miserable the hook has been in this time and space because of the appearance of the first sports.

Their annual sales in the 2007-2008 fiscal year reached 18.63 billion US dollars, and now 10 years later, it has only grown to 25 billion US dollars.

You must know that before the emergence of the first sports, the hook's annual sales in 2004-08 increased rapidly according to the annual growth rate of 12%.

Taking into account the 10 years of inflation, Hook's sales 10 years ago compared to now are basically standing still.

And this is already the hook that is frantically trying to maintain it, and it has maintained a steady pace, otherwise, it is shrinking, that is collapse.

The reason why No. 1 Sports has such a great influence on the hook is mainly from the competition in the Chinese and American markets.

The emergence of the first sports basically made the hook lose the Chinese market. You must know that in history, the hook bought more than 40 million pairs of shoes in China in 16-17 years, and the sales of sneakers alone exceeded 4 billion US dollars. In the same year, the sales of hook shoes in North America were more than 9 billion US dollars.

This is 13 billion US dollars, and this is the main battlefield of the hook and the first sports.

According to the analysis of professional data, in the fiscal year of 16-17, the sales of shoes in North America was 5.5 billion US dollars, while the first sports was also 3.5 billion US dollars, while in Greater China, the sales of hook shoes was 1 billion US dollars, No. 1 Sports is $5.5 billion.

Yes, the sales of shoes in Greater China and North America, the hook is a total of 6.5 billion US dollars, the first sports is 9 billion US dollars, the first sports on the basis of the hook, the hook has exploded.

Many professional financial analysts said that if First Sports deploys all sports, and at the same time increases the promotion of physical stores and offline stores in North America, as well as the Japanese and South Korean markets, First Sports will soon be able to take the hook out.

And the whole industry chain and North America, Japan and South Korea's greater promotion, as well as Europe and the world's development, the first sports are already doing.

Therefore, No. 1 Sports is very optimistic now. The valuation of this company that has not yet been listed has even exceeded 30 billion US dollars. You must know that the current market value of the hook is only less than 40 billion US dollars.

Yes, in history, the current market value of Hook has exceeded 100 billion US dollars, and even reached a maximum of almost 250 billion US dollars in the past few years, creating a myth that it has skyrocketed by more than 30 billion in one day.

But in this time and space, fools can see that the hook has been forced into a very embarrassing position. The stock price and market value are always based on dreams. Now that the hook has no dreams, it is naturally difficult to be optimistic.

On the contrary, No. 1 Sports, which has not yet been listed, is now considered to be the world's No. 1 unicorn company.

There will be no listing on the US side, and high-quality companies with a valuation of more than $1 billion are called unicorns.

No. 1 Sports is now Unicorn No. 1.

Many people say that as long as No. 1 Sports is listed in the United States, its market value will immediately exceed 100 billion.

As shareholders of No. 1 Sports, such as Chen Xiao, Wade, James, Luo Ge, Yao Ming, Curry, Roy, Kobe, Garnett and others, their wealth will rise again.

The first batch of superstars who signed with No. 1 Sports had shares, and there were still quite a few.

The current shareholding structure of No. 1 Sports, except that Hongxing Erke, which operates daily, owns 20% of the shares, is the largest shareholder.

Chen Xiao, Wade, Luo Ge, and James all own 10% of the shares.

The rest are other signing superstars and stakes in some financing companies.

If the first sports can really break through the market value of 100 billion or 200 billion US dollars after the listing, the worth of Chen Xiao, Wade, Luo Ge and James may rise by tens of billions of US dollars.

In fact, for the four of them, they are not short of money. When they invested in Facebook, they had already made their wealth free.

The reason why Chen Xiao and the others are operating No. 1 Sports so seriously is mainly because they want to get rid of the hook.

After all, the hook could have offended Chen Xiao, Xiao Zhan, and Wade badly back then.

Especially Wade, the hook has always looked down on Wade and refused to give Wade a contract. One of Wade's biggest goals in life now is to bankrupt the hook.

So, it's not enough to dry up the hook in basketball.

The basketball has done the hook, and Wade and James are ready to start the hook from the football again.

For example, James and Wade, they are now the owners of Premier League club Liverpool.

The two have been throwing money in the Premier League for some time.

And there have been some achievements. Under the leadership of Klopp, Liverpool won the Europa League championship in 2016 and the Premier League runner-up in the 2016-17 season, and the two are also ready to continue their big money-making efforts.

For these two tycoons with a combined net worth of more than 50 billion US dollars, it seems that such a big coin is not difficult.

It can only be said that the hook must have regretted offending these two small-minded NBA superstars when he saw how crazy Wade and Xiao Zhan are now.

This time, Chen Xiao brought this bunch of NBA superstars back to China to participate in the China trip, and the support he received was unprecedented.

After all, Chen Xiao just won his second dynasty with the Warriors.

And this time the seven of them are serious, everyone is very popular in China.

Chen Xiao, Luo Ge, Wade, these three will not be mentioned.

After the three of them got together to promote in the magic capital, they parted ways immediately. Chen Xiao stayed in Jiangsu Province, and Zhejiang Province continued to promote, while Luo Ge went north to Lu Province, and Wade went south to Guangzhou Province.

The popularity of three people in China can support such a person to promote one province, or even two provinces.

This will not come as a surprise.

Surprisingly, the four of them, Curry, Roy, Xiao Zhan, and Rose, go to any province and any city in China, and they are full of people.

This makes people feel incredible.

In this year's trip to China, the seven of them spent more than half a month in China together, almost a month, and it can be said that they have traveled the whole country.

According to the statistics of many professional organizations, this month, the sales of No. 1 Sports shoes sold out.

In the last fiscal year, First Sports' monthly shoe sales in China were almost 5 million pairs, which is an average.

And this month of the seven superstars in China, the sales of the first sports shoes soared to 20 million pairs. For a time, it was not only a hook, but the big international brands such as Adi were shivering.

Even major domestic manufacturers such as Li Ning shivered.

You must know that China's annual sales of sports shoes and shoes are only over 500 million pairs, and the average monthly sales are only more than 40 million pairs.

This month, No. 1 Sports directly accounted for half of the national monthly sales.

This means that, with the exception of No. 1 Sports, other brands can basically be said to have lost a month’s worth of shop rent and wages.

I have to say that because of the emergence of the first sports, domestic sports brands are not able to involute.

Not only domestic brand rolls, but also international brands roll, such rolls are naturally beneficial to consumers.

In this time and space, Hook, Adi and other international manufacturers have no pride.

The price of Chinese sports brands is the lowest in the world.

After all, most of the factory production is in China. The cost of logistics and materials is not high. You want to harvest IQ tax too hard, who will buy it?

The high-end ones have No. 1 Sports for this price-killer.

In the low-end, there is Hongxing Erke, the price killer.

With these two mountains, there is simply no room for others to cut leeks.

After the seven superstars ended their trip to China in early August, among other things, the other six superstars will go to other countries and regions in Asia to continue their trip to China.

And Chen Xiao, will lead the Chinese men's basketball team to participate in the men's basketball Asian Cup in the first quarter.

The World Championships are now renamed the World Cup.

The Asian Championships have also been renamed the Asian Cup.

In the past, the Asian Championships were related to the places in the Olympic Games and the World Championships.

And now the Asian Cup is purely an honorary event in Asia, not a qualifying match.

The first Asian Cup after the restructuring was placed in the holy land of Asian basketball, Yan City, Suzhou Province. It has to be said that Yan City has hosted a lot of international competitions in recent years. UU Reading www.uukanshu.com

In the first Asian Cup this year, the main force of the All-China team led by Arab League, Gao Bo, Zhou Qi, nephew, Ding Ding and others easily won the first Asian Cup in their hometown.

In the final, the Chinese team defeated the Australian team, who participated in the Asian Cup for the first time, 89 to 77.

After the Asian Cup, Chen Xiao returned to the United States in early October after completing a month of basketball promotion in Japan and South Korea.

Chen Xiao can't wait to start next season.

Chen Xiao, who completed a dynasty in the Warriors, the next goal is to complete their first dynasty with Wade and Roger!

"A dynasty that belongs to us!"

Not only Chen Xiao can't wait, but also Luo Ge and Wade.
