Chapter 277: NBA China Game, Knicks vs. Thunder, all young men are back!

"What is youth storm?? This is the youth storm!"

When Jiang Chao said this, he was not in the arena, but at New York Fashion Week.

After a period of team training and Jiang Chao personally arranging exclusive tactics in the booklet, Jiang Chao also went to see the international fashion event held at the end of September.

There is a New York Fashion Week, one of the four major fashion weeks in the world, near the company. You still have to take a look.

Many NBA players come to this fashion week every year. This year, fashionista Westbrook obviously came, but he was in the back row and Jiang Chao didn't talk to him.

Moreover, several people within the Chaoshen Group were invited to participate.

As for the tactics of Dayao and Sparks, I actually went to the training hall and discovered that these two people don’t use any tactics at all. The defensive strategy is very simple, your inside shot kills us, otherwise we will not be able to get out of the three-point line.

If you change defense, just stick to the defense. Even if you are passed by in one step, there will still be a big man waiting after the small man enters the inside.

Of course, if you have Kobe's uncanny mid-range shooting ability, it will be a solution.

Ordinary opponents, after Yao and Sparks come on the court, have to hit the brakes as soon as they enter the three-point line. They may not be able to touch the paint area even if they work hard, let alone playing alone in the paint when Yao and Sparks are on the court at the same time. There must be one to support the defense, and the same is true for Okur, Ibaka, Yi Jianlian and other insiders.

As for the offensive end, it's the same. One person plays from behind and the other takes away people near the paint area and waits for offensive rebounds.

Return to defense and leave it to the three outside players, while the two inside players rush for the offensive rebounds. The absolute height is shown here, and the opponent does not dare to use only two inside players to grab the backcourt rebounds. Even if they do, there are two giants who influence it. , the fast attack is not that fast anymore.

New York Fashion Week scene.

Jiang Chao is considered one of the biggest bosses in the first row. He also knows why this fashion week is so popular. He is less than 1 meter away from the world's supermodels and can reach out and touch them.

Look at the elderly people around us. In fact, they are just satisfying the annual hobby of these European and American gentlemen and aristocrats. They love the country and the beauty even more.

Chaoshen Entertainment's supermodels Bella and Amelia Wakeman shined during fashion week. They were designed by designers from Balenciaga in two incomprehensible light gray clothes with various lines made of environmentally friendly materials.

Anyway, Jiang Chao couldn't understand it, and it felt a bit impractical.

But I couldn't bear the fact that these two people were so good-looking and in good shape, especially Bella, who was tall and had a different aura than the others.

"When I have the opportunity, I will open a shop with a general aesthetic, where the people are beautiful and the clothes are beautiful and suitable for daily wear."

Jiang Chao glanced at Liu Yan, who had a small bag slung across her body and was wearing a New Zealand plaid dress and a ponytail. He thought Liu Yan's simple outfit was also very fashionable!

This reminded Jiang Chao of the model festival held by Neon that conformed to Asian aesthetics, which he felt more comfortable with.

Now this kind of art is so artistic that it is difficult for others to appreciate it except for our own employees.

Maybe it’s because he’s seen too many Lily Collins, Daddario, and Omei, and other girls think they’re vulgar fans. You know, he’s never even been one meter away from Bella. .

If he hadn't waited for the brands to show off at the end, he would have left early.

Jiang Chao burst out laughing when the male model appeared. I don’t know when Ibaka was invited to participate in this job, but his body shape and pretentious deep expression are indeed quite suitable. A man wearing a bear skirt is awesome.

.

"It smells like Kuzma." Later Kuzma also wore a skirt when he walked on the catwalk, but his skirt was made of a down jacket, which was an aesthetic that was hard to swallow.

After Ibaka walked solemnly in an avant-garde striped striped bear skirt, it was the brand's turn to walk the show.

This was the time of chaos. When Chaoshen Sports came on stage, Jiang Chao stood up and applauded.

The first one to come out was the "professional" male model Ibaka, but now he is much more normal. He is dressed in super sports fashion and casual clothes, showing off his masculinity.

Behind them, Bella and Amelia, one is wearing a tennis sweatshirt and a white T-shirt, and the other is wearing a black peaked cap and a super short sports skirt, highlighting the street fashion culture.

"This guy Ma Xun can do it."

Jiang Chao took a brief look at the reactions of the people at the scene and was generous, indicating that Ma Xun, the chief designer of Super God Sports, still has a very good vision, and it has been a long time since we last saw him. He has really expanded Super God Sports from basketball to other sports.

But this is not a trendy brand. When this season is over, he will start a trendy brand with a few people.

He has already thought of the name, "Ziya", don't ask me what it means, the name of a trendy brand just makes you feel mysterious.

Why do you have to do it? Because the subsequent auction is really exaggerated. A set of clothes limited to fashion brands can be as high as 1 million US dollars, which is outrageous.

And the products on the catwalks of these brands are all sold as mass-produced mass-produced models. Even if they sell tens of thousands of pieces together, they may not be as good as a few holes cut out by designers with scissors?

Therefore, Jiang Chao's choice in the future must be to join them.

Existence is reasonable. Maybe in the future, fashionable celebrities like Westbrook and his thick eyebrows will fall in love with super trendy brands.

After the fashion week, Ibaka came directly to claim credit and said that the show he walked was not a good one.

"It's a bit embarrassing, you'd better go the funny route."

Jiang Chao and Ma Xun next to him laughed, saying that the Knicks still have many talented players, but Ibaka has agreed to come, Haywood, Danny Green, if the coach can participate, Stevens will also come up.

Good.

Of course, as Liu Yan said, if Jiang Chao goes up, he will kill indiscriminately. Which male model here has Jiang Chao's elegant temperament from the inside out?

Jiang Chao did not attend the last dinner. One reason was that he was not thinking about it. He wanted to make friends with these fashion designers and supermodels next year.

Also, this fashion week is sponsored by Mercedes-Benz, and both Jiang Chao and Liu Yan drove here in Audi cars.

But it was Westbrook who found Jiang Chao wearing a colorful feather coat:

"Hey, Mr. Jiang, I'm going to China tomorrow, are you going too? Let's have a friendly discussion?"

"I'm not going, I'm watching you being tortured on TV, haha."

"Hey, okay, watch me dunk on Howard!"

"You said you gave it a try, but you don't have enough confidence." Jiang Chao shook his hand jokingly. Westbrook has a pretty good character. At least he has a true love for basketball. Most players would not say such cruel things as dunking on Howard.

Ibaka, who has been with the Thunder for one year: "You can dunk on me first, I'll wait for you!"

Westbrook rolled his eyes at him: "You are not qualified!"

Jiang Chao said to Ibaka: "I won't go to the game in China the day after tomorrow. You let the players play as a regular season. It's been a long time since I played a game in the spotlight. Get used to it more."

Ibaka stopped joking in front of Jiang Chao, nodded and replied seriously:

"Okay, I'll pass it on!"

…

Westbrook is naturally referring to this year's NBA China Game.

Thunder vs Knicks.

There will be two games at the Wukesong Stadium in the Imperial Capital and the Mercedes-Benz Center in the Magic City.

The NBA headquarters decided during the off-season that the Thunder would play the Knicks. Unexpectedly, the popularity would be much higher than other preseason games in England, Germany, and Germany.

Why they chose these two teams this year is very simple. They are both youth teams and the future of the league. The main reason is that the Knicks have too much Chinese complex. In addition, there are four people from the Knicks in the Thunder team. They are full of attractions.

.

I just didn’t expect that the Knicks and Thunder would become the strongest youth teams in the East and West after some operations. Who is the real youth storm??

The NBA China Game refers to the two NBA preseason games held in China every year.

NBA is an American basketball league, usually held in the United States. However, in order to expand its influence, NBA will hold games played by NBA teams in countries other than the United States.

The China Game was played for the first time in 2004. It was the Rockets vs. the Kings. The Kings had rookie Liu Wei who was on trial at the time.

After tasting the benefits, the Basketball Association tried again for three years in 2007, 2008 and 2009.

It had been empty for 3 years. Jiang Chao consulted David Stern at the time as to why the event was terminated. David Stern said that part of the reason was profit distribution. He made a lot of money, but it had to be divided among multiple parties. How would it be divided after 2004?

I haven't decided yet.

Another reason is that the NBA does not want the Rockets to go to China every year. They want to promote the entire NBA instead of Yao Ming's team, while the Basketball Association only wants teams with Chinese people. There are these contradictions

It was delayed.

It wasn't until 2007 when more superstars had more fans in China that the Basketball Association opened its doors again.

Howard had already played against each other in 2007, when the Magic played against the Cavaliers. These two superstars can be regarded as the originators of the Chinese game. They have accumulated a lot of Chinese fans.

In 2008, it was for Yi Jianlian, when the Bucks beat the Warriors.

Last year, the seats were packed after going to Ryukyu. Big Bird finally got the application for money. The Pacers vs. the Nuggets also had a wonderful scene where Granger was expelled (allowing Chinese fans to see the bloody side of the NBA).

Originally, it was decided that the Nets would play the Rockets this year, but after Yao joined the Knicks, the Basketball Association received hundreds of calls suggesting that the NBA must have the Knicks.

Xinlan City even threatened that they would never do it again.

There was indeed a proposal to cancel it after last year's event, but this year's World Men's Basketball Championship quarterfinals, the Knicks and the naturalization of Kyle Lee... the bosses are so happy!

It can also be considered as a way to repay Jiang Chao's contribution to the Basketball Association, allowing the Knicks to participate in a preseason game held abroad for the first time in history (the Knicks make more money per home game in preseason than playing abroad because of their popularity at home).

Earn more.)

This also let Jiang Chao know the distribution of benefits.

The Basketball Association earns 50%, the NBA 25%, and the remaining two participating teams each share 12.5%. Sure enough, if you want to promote the NBA, you still have to give the biggest local cake.

David Stern also has a headache. In fact, if he had to change, he originally wanted to play the Heat directly against the Knicks. James and Wade have much fewer fans in China than Durant, and the Heat and the Knicks have a bad relationship.

A lot.

But the Heat were arrogant and didn't want to come. They thought it was too far away, and Riley also knew that the Big Three needed to get in touch, so he spent the preseason in the United States and didn't go out to make money.

But the NBA China game is really popular. This is the only way ordinary fans like Jiang Chao can watch the NBA live. Later, when Lakers Kobe Bryant and Warriors Curry came, it was hard to get a ticket. The number of Chinese basketball fans has been declining in recent years.
