Chapter 498： Who can stop the Knicks, stop Zuoli

On November 8th, the news that the AND1ZL generation sales and pre-sale exceeded 2 million pairs has become an anomaly in the competition news, and it is so dazzling under the blessing of Zuo Ligang 50+25.

This is 2 million pairs of sneakers. After so many years, Zuo Li is still the first among active players.

At the beginning, in 1985, Mike Jordan's black and red swept the entire sneaker market, selling 2.3 million pairs throughout the year, and the sales amount was as high as 150 million US dollars, which is still a very high number even after more than 20 years. Needless to say at that time, it is conceivable that the dazzling pair of black and red had a great impact on the entire sneaker market and even the NBA.

It is said that at the time, because of the league's color ban, Jordan would pay a fine of $5,000 every time he played. After a season, the fine amounted to an astonishing 750,000. That was 85 years. How many players did not earn such a whole year? But compared with the profits and influence he brought, this mere 750,000 is hardly worth mentioning. This pair of shoes also successfully pulled Nike back from the cliff, and thus gave birth to the absolute hegemon of the basketball market.

Now AJ swept 1 billion or even 2 billion US dollars every year. Even if Jordan retired for many years, there is no one who can compete with him in the sneaker market. He can also take away more than 100 million yuan from Nike every year.

Which player is not envious!

And after more than 20 years, it seems that there is finally a pair of shoes that can touch the AJ series in the basketball field.

Of course, it's just a touch, the media will naturally not think that Zuo Li's personal generation signature shoes will surpass Jordan, that's unrealistic.

However, there is no suspense to surpass other active stars.

Zuo Li remembers that James took over the title of active sneaker sales king in 2008 and reached its peak in 2014. In that year, his sales reached 340 million US dollars, which was three times that of the second Durant that year. Down, the number of sales is about 800,000 pairs, and it has not reached a million globally, let alone this year.

Therefore, this year's sneaker sales champion is likely to be Zuo Li, which is definitely an incredible achievement for a second-year player and an inside player.

Some media have estimated that if it goes well, the annual sales of this pair of shoes may exceed 3 million pairs, and the amount has the opportunity to exceed 800 million US dollars.

puff!

James only felt another arrow in his knee. For two consecutive days, he was shown by Zuo Lixiu on and off the court again and again. James felt that he had offended some angel sister, because Mao would be so unhappy!

Before the game that night, the TNT special program also talked about this topic. Barkley, who is also an insider but has never had his own sneakers, said sourly: "I really envy Zuo Li, this guy, you know, not only can have A pair of his own shoes has sold so much, this guy is really incredible, is this a genius?"

"However, as an insider, I still wish him heartily, and I hope that these players can consider the insider more. We are also very good."

Kenny nodded again and again, but he didn't take it seriously.

Zuo Li's success is almost unrepeatable. He is tall on the inside and plays on the outside. He can be coquettish, violent, dashing, and handsome. His arms are long, but the proportions are very good. It can be said that fans like it. He had almost all of it.

The design of the sneakers is also very good, and fresh technology has been added. Although they are inside shoes, they are not bloated. According to the feedback from fans, there is no big problem in wearing outside. Although some flexibility is sacrificed, the protection is better. , and the bombardment of all kinds of advertisements spared no effort, it is surprising that the sales are not good.

Other insiders, Kenny Smith glanced at Barkley's face... and thought that it was better not to tell the truth.

And the popularity of this pair of shoes has also burned to the NBA stadium.

On the 9th, Zuo Li returned to Madison Garden and found fans sitting on the sidelines, and even many big fans were wearing ZL1s to watch the ball. Spike Lee even showed Zuo Li his shoes.

In the locker room, Zuo Li also fulfilled his promise, all teammates and coaching staff, one pair per person, Randolph tried it at the time, and then he couldn't put it down: "It feels great."

When Randolph was on the court, he was very sorry, because he couldn't wear this to play.

And Zuo Li said half-truth: "Zach, it's okay, when your contract expires, maybe you can come to us."

AND1 wants to expand, on the one hand, fresh blood is very important, on the other hand, it also needs to expand its own territory. This is also what Zuoli will do in the next stage.

Closer to home.

The mall is proud, and the left standing of the stadium is still unambiguous.

After 6 consecutive victories back at home, the Knicks are still on their winning streak. Facing the Bucks who came from afar, the Knicks have not adjusted to the best state. All 6 three-pointers in the first quarter were made of iron. This was all consecutive away games. impact.

But the Knicks did not fall behind in the first quarter, because Zuoli picked up 4 offensive rebounds on Bogut's head in a single quarter, and made Bogut 3 fouls in a single quarter, making the Australians want to swim back.

The Knicks, who had 6 more secondary attacks, led by 3 points and entered the second quarter.

The Knicks, who knew that their perimeter feel was not good, also began to focus on playing inside. Zuoli, Randolph, David Lee and Anderson took turns to wreak havoc on the basket, and the Knicks led by 10 points at halftime.

In the second half, Jennings wanted to gain momentum, and counting the days, it was not far from his 55 points. Recently, he has been able to pull up and back three points in front of Belinelli.

But a Jennings can't change the situation The Knicks still expand the score, and the advantage of 15 points in three quarters is enough for them to take away the victory.

108-100, the Knicks won at home and won 7 consecutive victories.

Zuoli scored 30 points, 15 rebounds and 6 blocks in the game, and his performance was still stable. With this game, Zuoli rose to the second place in the league in scoring, 1 or 4 points away from Durant who was the first.

And Zuo Li, who seemed to find the scoring feeling in these two games, didn't make the fans wait too long.

On November 10th, back to back at the Jazz's Devil's home court, Zuoli made 14 of 15 shots, scored 36 points and 14 rebounds and beat Boozer. , he was able to deal with it last season, but now he can only be beaten.

The Knicks also beat the Jazz 105-97 to get an 8-game winning streak!

On the scoring list, Durant's lead is only 0.6 points.

And then, the Eagles on the 12th and the Warriors on the 14th still failed to stop the Knicks' winning streak, 107-100, 98-94, although the point difference was getting smaller and smaller, the Knicks always won!

Ten consecutive victories!

The Knicks set the longest winning streak in team history in the new century!

With the performance of 35 points, 11 rebounds, 37 points, 11 rebounds and 6 assists in these two games, Zuo Li successfully surpassed Durant and temporarily topped the scoring list!

Strong!

Very strong!

Now, the whole league is asking a question, that is, who can stop the Knicks and stop Zuoli!
