0393: [Stephen Curry's decision]

D'Antoni clearly doesn't want to leave the city of New York just like that, he wants to make a comeback, and he is trying to regain respect in the locker room, including repairing his relationship with Snoopy. For this reason, he even personally sent his brother Dande Anthony back to his hometown.

Now, as General Manager, he has already established the most important tasks for this summer. He hopes to get a lottery pick through the trade and use it to draft Stephen Curry.

If it were before the playoffs began, none of the Knicks would have trade value, and each of them would have been labeled as a junk contract or a high-paying imbecibility. But now it's different, after a crazy playoff game. Each of them is full of trade value, and even Stephen Marbury has a lot of experience in his expiring contract and veteran game.

So, for D'Antoni, this matter is not difficult to operate at all.

He's studied Stephen Curry's game, even though the little guy isn't favored by mainstream basketball commentators right now. But he's very bullish on his future, and he thinks Stephen Curry can be a very good space point guard, and his partnership with Snoopy will be seamless.

And, most importantly... He has a very good relationship with Snoopy.

Now, all D'Antoni has to do is tell Snoopy through Stephen Curry: "Even if I return to the head coach's seat, you're still going to secure your current position and... I am willing to trade your best little brother to come and assist you.

Stephen Curry told Dugg before the start of the Cleveland Cavaliers' tiebreaker with the Orlando Magic: "D'Antoni promised me that he would do everything in his power to draft me this summer. ”

Hearing this, Dugg raised his eyebrows, but he didn't speak.

Because, he doesn't want to interfere with management's decision on the draft.

Stephen Curry's arrival has both benefits and pitfalls.

Dugg's attitude towards this matter is: let it be.

"This is the letter that Mr. D'Antoni handed you over." Stephen Curry handed over a handwritten letter to Dugg from his bag: "I can hear that he values you very much. Everything he talked to me about was about how to build the team around you. ”

D'Antoni first apologized to Dugg for receiving the letter, but also stressed that he did not support and did not know what his brother had done, and that if he had known in advance, he would have resolutely stopped it from happening. Reporter, he also expressed his heartfelt applause and pride for the achievements of the team led by Duge. And emphasized...... The team will definitely build a team around you in the future. We will choose the best helper for you to realize the championship dream together!

After reading the handwritten letter, Duge put it on the side of the shoebox...... This is a sample of the signed shoes sent by Nike in the afternoon, and they gave away a total of five different colors of sneakers and a Boost version.

Dugg had already put it on his feet.

It's a low-top... Even similar to the style of casual shoes, it is mainly fashionable and trendy. However, Nike has not reduced its technological content as a result.

The Duke Generation is Nike's first product to feature Lunarlon embedded cushioning with Zoom-Air cushioning, while the forefoot has a Free-like groove, plus a Flyknit woven upper that incorporates fiber threads for higher strength and lightness. The outsole wraps directly around the Flyknit body, giving it a very flexible and stylish visual effect.

As a matter of fact... In order to focus on the female fan market, Nike also launched the 'Duke Girl' version, which has more choices in color schemes. But... In the sole part, there is a big difference from the official basketball version, Snoopy, as one of the designers, personally selected a sole with TPU foam particles as the main material from a number of outsoles provided by Nike Labs, which looks a lot like popcorn...... This popcorn material has many excellent properties, such as low density, good wear resistance, low hardness, good resilience, high tensile strength, good tear strength and other advantages.

When Dugg saw it from several shortlists, he felt a sense of familiarity inexplicably, and then a name appeared in his head: Boost!

In this way, Boost became the name that distinguishes the stadium version from the fashion version.

Stephen Curry is clearly particularly fond of Dug's signature shoes, and recently Lin Weiwei helped him negotiate a sponsorship deal with Nike for $4 million over three years, which is almost the limit of what he can get. After all... Not every rookie who wanders around the lotto area can get a sponsorship contract.

"I've decided to wear your signature shoes for the new season." Stephen Curry was full of praise and said, "I've heard... Nike is pricing your first signature shoe for $168. This price is second only to LeBron James' signature shoes in the Nike camp. I've heard that Kobe Bryant and Kevin Durant are both upset about this. ”

Duge shrugged his shoulders, and as a top student in the business school, he said in a very helpless tone: "This is just a business behavior, and the price is set based on market feedback." No one will do anything that goes against the laws of the market. ”

"I heard Daphne say that your contract even includes a clause for the operation of an independent brand? Do you even have a chance to be a partner like Michael Jordan? Stephen Curry continued.

He was particularly curious about it.

"If you have your own brand, you must sign me as a spokesperson." Stephen Curry emphasized, "I've never dreamed of owning a pair of signed shoes with my name embroidered on them. ”

Dugg is a cautious person, but when he heard Curry say this, he didn't hesitate at all, blurted out a promise, and added: "If I have an independent sneaker brand, I will definitely sign a lifetime endorsement contract with you and create you an independent signature shoe." ”

Stephen Curry immediately jumped up, he was so excited that he even stretched out his hand to make an appointment with Dugra Hook.

At this time, after a burst of pre-match analysis and prediction by ESPN commentators on the TV, the game finally began.

Dwight Howard looked particularly excited tonight, and he showed extraordinary positivity from the jump ball onwards.

Amid the cheers of the home fans, the Magic's first offense was completed with a slam dunk from the air relay. Tekoglu staggered his pace from the outside and forced his way into the box, and after attracting the bag, the Turk threw the basketball down the basket with ease, and Dwight Howard volleyed into the air...... Rumble!

The basketball smashes into the hoop.

The hoop buzzed with him.

Howard has extremely ferocious explosiveness and bounce, and his presence under the basket is unparalleled in the world!

As the game continued, LeBron James drove full throttle tonight, rushing like a Hummer to the Orlando penalty area, but at the free-throw line, he was caught by two tall forwards, Turkoglou and Lewis, and he could only pass the ball, but Dronte West couldn't hit the three-point shot...... Bang!

This is not a good sign for the Cleveland Cavaliers.

After the rematch, Nelson dribbled the ball across the half court and handed the basketball directly to Turkoglou.

The last two games... The Magic's No. 1 and No. 5 positions are very obedient to Lord Duke's instructions, Nelson no longer forcibly carries explosives, and Howard no longer insists on pursuing individual singles. The basketball was handed over to Turkoglu and Alstom, who rotated the lineup, and it seemed smooth and integrated.

In contrast, the Cavaliers' side is still based on LeBron James as a strong point and other players as an auxiliary catch-and-shoot style of play.

This style of play is very efficient in downwind moments.

But once in the headwind, the pressure on LeBron James will be enormous. And even if he plays a super-god-level performance, the Cavaliers may not be able to come back to life!

Tonight, the Cavaliers seem to have a bit of a tendency to get caught up in a headwind.

Stephen Curry was lying on the couch: "The Cavaliers are actually missing a player like you. Don't occupy the ball, tough enough, able to tandem, silently dedicated! ”

"No wonder the Knicks have been pursuing the 2010 plan!"

Stephen Curry got to this, looked up again, and said to Dugg, "Hey, you know what? D'Antoni told me today about his plans for the future. He's hoping to assemble a Big Three of you, LeBron James, Stoudemire, and he thinks I'm going to be the Big Four. He spent a lot of time describing to me the prospect of this lineup, if it did happen...... We will indeed be the best team in the world at defending and counter-attacking. We just need to pair up with an average defensive center to sweep the league. ”

Curry looked yearning.

But Dugg shook his head and expressed his thoughts for the first time: "I have no interest in plans to form a Big Three or something, I never wanted to rule the league with a big star, I just want to lead my own team to conquer the world." ”

Stephen Curry looked at Snoopy with a serious face, he had a lot to say in his heart, but... But no exit was found.

Rumble!

Dwight Howard on the TV was once again slammed into a slam again, his speed and impact that made the aging and heavy Ilgoskas overwhelmed.

Now that the NBA is already showing a fast trend, perhaps the era of positional offense and super center is coming to an end.

Stephen Curry stared at the TV screen in a daze, and there was something called 'ambition' burning in his eyes.

D'Antoni gave him a lot of things this afternoon, part of which was analysing the future of the league. D'Antoni believes that Stephen Curry has the ability and opportunity to be the leader of the next era, which gives Stephen Curry a lot of confidence. And when he heard Snoopy say, 'He just wants to lead my team to the world,' and watched Dwight Howard, who was running like a defender, pull off a lightning dunk in the box.

He made a decision in his heart.

The game on the TV continues.

However, the point difference is gradually widening.
