Legendary basketball manager

Chapter 290 The Crowd Is Outraged, Nike Changes Its Move!

Shortly after this interview video was uploaded to Hupu, the forum "exploded".

The jrs (the abbreviation of Hupu Netizens) were furious, and there were endless posts denouncing the nba league.

Why are Huaxia fans angry?

Naturally, it's because they regard the Rockets as their own team.

In particular, this season, the book tycoon was successfully naturalized and has a Chinese nationality; the UAE also got a place in the Rockets.

Everything seems to be going in the right direction.

But at this time, rumors about the NBA targeting the Rockets broke out.

Moreover, the league's targeting is only because two Rockets players signed with Under Armour, not Nike.

This undoubtedly made the Huaxia fans even more angry.

Under Armour... that's Shen Fei's brand!

Shen Fei is not only the first Chinese person to become the general manager of an NBA team, but now he is also the boss of Huaxia.

Moreover, Shen Fei made it clear at a very early stage that he would help China's basketball develop.

Yao Ming regained health on his hands;

Shuhao was naturalized smoothly because of his matchmaking;

The deal of Ah Lian was also arranged by Shen Fei single-handedly, so that this young man who had stepped out of the NBA with one foot got another chance to prove himself!

It can be said that during the six months since taking office, Shen Fei has made a lot of contributions to Huaxia basketball.

Moreover, his brand - Under Armour, will also be Chinese in the future.

The announcement today by the three of Yao Ming that they will sign a contract with Under Armor is the best proof.

Fortunately, the alliance is suppressing the Rockets for Under Armor, isn't that targeting China? !

A jr named "Just because you are so beautiful" posted:

"The referee's question went crazy on the Internet, and the unfavorable judgment of the Rockets was made into a collection. Now it is 5 minutes long, and there is still no replay!"

"And these penalties, without exception, were all after Curry and George signed Under Armor."

"It can be expected that after Dayao, Yidi, and Shuhao join Under Armour, this suppression will become more obvious."

"Guys, I think we have to do something!"

This post quickly received a large number of replies, and fans offered advice and suggestions one after another.

[Oh, what are you doing! 】Commented: "David Stern should value our China market very much, right? Let's jointly write some protest emails, maybe it will be effective?"

[rnm!money back! 】Suggested: "The referee problem is so big, I think the NBA and Nike will restrain themselves in the future for the sake of face. What we can do is to support Under Armour, so as to show the attitude of Huaxia fans!"

[Aside from reality] quoted and replied: "+1, isn't Nike trying to suppress Under Armor? Then we help Under Armor take off! This is the best response to them."

[I mentioned 58 again and I flipped the table] agreed: "That's right, I'm too shy to buy a plane ticket to watch the football in a beautiful country, but I can still do it by buying a pair of sneakers to support it."

......

Everyone brainstormed, and finally came to the conclusion that - after Under Armor's new signature sneakers are launched, support the Rockets with practical actions!

............

While the Huaxia fans were getting angry, there was also a group of people in the beautiful country on the other side of the ocean.

"I did as you asked! What happened?"

"The Rockets did not lose a game, but I was pushed to the cusp."

"There are a lot of scolding on the Internet now!"

"As soon as I am old, I will retire soon, and I don't want to lose my insurance at the end of the night."

An old man with silver hair and a haggard face complained to several middle-aged men in suits and leather shoes in front of him.

This old man is naturally the current NBA president-David Stern.

And several middle-aged people are executives of Nike Group.

"We didn't expect things to ferment so quickly."

"It didn't take long to suppress the Rockets, and the public opinion became so fierce."

An executive put his hand on his forehead and said helplessly.

"Today's situation is even more unexpected."

"How dare that reporter ask such a question at an official press conference, and dare to directly mention our Nike..."

Another executive added, his face also full of puzzlement.

Probably because Nike has become stronger and stronger in the past few years, their confidence has inflated to the extreme, and they feel that no one dares to "take the mantle as a car".

"The point is, what do we do now?"

"If this continues, sooner or later I will be drowned by the spittle of the Rockets fans!"

Stern said angrily.

"That's what we're here for."

"Shen Fei paid high liquidated damages, poached Yao Ming from Reebok, and poached Yi Jianlian and Jeremy Lin from us."

"His ambition has been revealed."

"It won't be long before the Rockets will become the representative team of Under Armour. If they are allowed to win the championship... the consequences will be disastrous!"

One of the executives, named Durst, said sharply.

"so what?"

"You don't want to continue to suppress the Rockets, do you?"

Stern's tone was already a little excited.

"Don't worry, David."

"Of course the suppression will continue, but we can use a more covert method."

Durst said grimly.

"what way?"

asked Stern.

"The next focus of the fans must be the referee's whistle."

"Since this is the case, let's let the referee blow into the 'pine'!"

"Regardless of the size of the action, as long as the penalty can be ignored, the referee will not blow the whistle!"

Durst said with a smile.

"Blowing into the 'pine'? What's the use of that?"

Stern wondered.

"You think... In the game, if a player finds that a foul has not been whistled, what will he do?"

Durst asked back.

"No foul was called, indicating that the action was within the scale...Then he may continue to test the referee's bottom line."

Stern replied.

That's what a lot of experienced defensive players do.

They will even intentionally make a relatively fierce foul at the beginning of the game, and then decide the defensive strategy for the entire game based on the referee's reaction.

"That's right!"

"So, if the Rockets' opponents find out that they make big moves and won't be called fouls, will they become more and more rough?"

"Coupled with the fact that the Rockets are so strong and the opponent is behind, is it easier to make outrageous moves?"

The corner of Durst's mouth raised a sly arc, his eyes flickered like a fox.

Stern was stunned.

After working in the industry for so many years, his three views have been refreshed again today.

"Oh... I'm getting old."

"You little Jiujiu, I really can't figure it out."

"But you have to know that if you really do this, it is very likely that the players will be injured!"

Stern has something in Nike's hands, but he still wants to persuade the other party.

"You don't have to worry about it!"

"We just want to teach Shen Fei and his Under Armor a lesson. After this goal is achieved, we won't target the Rockets again."

"If you want to blame, blame him for being too high-profile!"

After all, Durst left Stern's office with a group of Nike executives.

The old man watched the mighty group of people leaving, and sighed silently.

"Hope nothing serious..."

Stern murmured looking at the sky outside the window.

He was about to retire soon, and he didn't want to ruin his fame in one lifetime.
