Legendary basketball manager

First up is the All-Star Game.

This year's All-Star Game will be held at Staples Arena, the home of the Los Angeles Lakers and Los Angeles Clippers.

As one of the largest ball markets in the United States, the popularity of this All-Star Game will undoubtedly be higher than in the past few years.

In addition, this season is full of heroes and stars, and NBA officials have also seen the business opportunities in it, and started warming up for the All-Star Game as early as a month ago.

As the biggest dark horse this year, the Rockets also have many players participating in various projects.

The most interesting thing is naturally the roster of the All-Star Game.

The popularity of the Yao Mai combination is terrifying.

Let me talk about Yao Ming first.

He received a total of 2380016 votes, and became the starting center of the Western Conference All-Stars.

And this season, T-MAC, which played at the MVP level, received 2563237 votes.

This made him beat Kobe and became the person with the most votes among the western defenders!

Not only that, 2563237 votes also made McGrady the top voter in this year's All-Star Game!

It is worth mentioning that this is the first time in his life that he has become the All-Star vote leader.

In addition to the starting lineup, the Rockets also had 2 people selected to the bench.

They are Curry and Griffin.

One of the two teenagers has a super long range and unpredictable three-pointers, and the other has the ability to detonate the audience with dunks at any time.

And the one who selected the two of them as substitutes also came from the Rockets!

Mark Jackson - this fledgling young coach, in the first year of his career, he overwhelmed Popovich, Phil Jackson and other legendary coaches and became the coach of the Western All-Stars.

His success also proved Shen Fei's foresight.

In addition, in addition to the main game, the Rockets players also participated in various All-Star events.

George, Griffin, Jeremy Lin, and Curry all participated in the rookie game.The first three represent the first grade, while Mengshen represents the second grade.

Griffin was invited to participate in the slam dunk contest, the Curry three-point contest, and the Lowry skill contest.

Overall, the Rockets' players covered every item in the All-Star Game.

The wide range of participation and the number of participants are the highest in the entire league.

As the hosts, the Lakers and Clippers are far less popular than the Rockets.

In the East, the Heat also had three players selected for the All-Star Game.

Janeway was the starter for the Eastern Conference, while Bosh was selected as a substitute.

So far, the starting lineups of the East and West are respectively——

West: Paul, Kobe, McGrady, Durant, Yao Ming.

East: Rose, Wade, James, Stoudemire, Howard.

But judging from the starting lineup, the east and west are evenly matched, and the east relies on physical talent, which seems to be even the dominant side.

Therefore, although it is only the beginning of February, many fans are already looking forward to the All-Star Game on February 2!

However, Shen Fei didn't care about it.

In his view, the All-Star Game is nothing more than a performance game held by the commercial league of the NBA.

In addition to entertaining the audience and making money, it does not help the team.

Therefore, even though McGrady won the All-Star vote champion, Shen Fei didn't care too much.

What he is most concerned about recently is the two signature sneakers that Under Armor will launch soon-the Curry generation and the George generation!

Both pairs of sneakers are now in full production.

Three days later, the first generation of Curry - Kirin will start pre-sale.

For this reason, Shen Fei invested a lot of money in advertising.

Among them, the promotion in China is also included.

Both the China Basketball Association and CCTV have given full support to Shen Fei.

Today, Under Armour's commercials will be broadcast in rotation during the broadcast of NBA games and every Friday night on "Basketball Park".

Moreover, Under Armour's online mall in China has been successfully established with the help of the Basketball Association.

The Basketball Association also took the initiative to promise Shen Fei that once the sneakers of Curry and George are released in the future, the domestic market will also be launched simultaneously!

In the words of an official of the Basketball Association:

"Shen Fei, we will always remember your contribution to Huaxia basketball."

"We also know that you want to make Under Armor a Chinese national sports brand."

"Now is the time when Under Armor needs to exert its influence. The Basketball Association will definitely help you clear up various relationships and help you build up the Chinese market!"

These words gave Shen Fei great confidence.

Originally, he regarded the Huaxia market as his last stand.

Only when Under Armour's market in the beautiful country fell into the cold and failed to reach the set goal (comparable to Nike), Shen Fei planned to show his final "hole card".

But now, since Huaxia offered to help, he would naturally not refuse.

On the contrary, with the backing of the Chinese market, Shen Fei's confidence in completing the system task - leading Under Armor to become the top sports brand has greatly increased.

"All is ready except for the opportunity."

"In three days, we will see the outcome..."

Shen Fei muttered to himself.

On February 2, Beijing time, Energy Solutions Arena.

Tonight, the Rockets will be a guest in Salt Lake City to challenge the Utah Jazz!

The Jazz's home court is the famous devil's home court in the NBA.

The cold Utah is definitely called "the land of bitter cold" in the beautiful country.

The altitude here is as high as 1300 meters, and the air is so thin that some professional athletes can't stand it.

Of course, the Energy Solutions Arena is called the devil's home field, not just because of natural factors.

Jazz fans are the real reason why the visiting team didn't expect this!

Regardless of the team's record, Energy Solutions Arena is always packed!

The reason for this is a bit special-Salt Lake City is the main gathering place of Mormons in the United States.

Mormons value loyalty.

For their own team, they have always spared no effort to support.

During the game, Jazz fans were aggressive with every visiting team player.

In order to support their home team, they even say insulting words to their opponents!

Imagine what it would be like if more than 2000 fans booed a player at the same time?

Some players with poor psychological quality may directly explode their mentality.

When the Rockets met the Jazz in the playoffs, there were some substitute players who were unstable in receiving the ball and deformed in their movements in away games.

It can be said that Jazz fans are their team's best sixth man.

And considering the grievances with them, the Rockets all want to win this game very much!

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

At this time, the starting players of both sides have stepped onto the court one after another, waiting for the game to start.

The Rockets are still the regular starting lineup.

Compared with the past, the Jazz's starting lineup has changed a lot.

In the playoffs that year, their two insiders, Boozer and Okur, both created great difficulties for Yao Ming.

But time has passed, Boozer has left the team, and Okur has also been reduced to a substitute due to injuries.

Only the All-Star guard Deron Williams, known as "eating, sleeping and playing Paul", still sticks to the Jazz.

Therefore, today they sent the starters: Deron, Raja - Bell, Kirilenko, Millsap and Al - Jefferson.

This lineup has extremely high static talent and has both offense and defense.

Such a Jazz, even the Rockets, cannot be underestimated!

With the referee throwing the ball high, the game officially begins!
