After the Warriors announced the signing of Larry Byrne, in the afternoon, Larry attended a second press conference.

Champion Sports has previously announced that they will invite Larry Byrne to be their spokesperson, and after the two parties signed the contract, Champion Sports used the shortest time to develop a sneaker specifically for him, and this press conference is to release this pair of sneakers.

Caballo, CEO of Champions Sports, attended the press conference and introduced the new sneaker himself: "Everyone, welcome to our launch of the sneaker for Mr. Byrne, called 'Champion Boy's Heart', the proud work of our chief designer Mr. Pilger. Yes, Mr. Chamberlain's Z and Mr. West's Mad Dog sneakers were also created by Mr. Pilger's design studio. ”

"The overall design of the Champion Junior Heart is very different from that of the Z and Mad Dog sneakers, and the boot is made up of a one-piece concept with a striped air hole detail on the inner shiny leather body. The tongue is a return to the large tongue design characteristic of the early Melo shoes, so as to increase the wrapping of the shoe to the foot. ”

"In addition, we have made a slight change in the configuration of the air cushions, with the Zoom-Z at the front and the unprecedented Max-Unit at the heel. What's more, the shape of the heel cushion can be clearly seen on the outsole, and the outsole is engraved with the word L-B. ”

"From the appearance, we can see that the champion boy heart combines the excellent details of the past with a more refined design, which can greatly improve the overall intuition."

"In terms of colour, we chose a clean white, as white and spotless as the soul of our spokesperson, Mr. Bourne! Okay, that's the end of my introduction, here's when Mr. Bourne signed an endorsement contract with us. ”

More than 200 reporters came to the scene, and after Carvalo introduced it, there was thunderstorm-like applause from the audience.

A reporter asked, "Mr. Carvalro, how much do you want to donate to Larry Byrne?" ”

Cavallo frowned, and Chamberlain preemptively said, "Why should we donate to him?" Larry endorsed our contract, and we gave him the contract fee he deserved, $1.6 million over two years! ”

After listening to Chamberlain's words, the scene once again burst into applause and cheers.

Under the guidance of his parents, Larry signed his name on the contract and also signed his name on the sneakers, which were to be sealed in the showroom and then ready for the production line.

Champion Sports gave him an endorsement fee, and Carvalo consulted with experts in leukemia, and childhood leukemia can generally be cured within two years, and if it cannot be cured during this time, then there is little hope.

$1.6 million is enough for Larry's treatment, and the endorsement fee of $1.6 million for two years is not low, but compared to the harvest of Champion Sports, the payment of $1.6 million is nothing.

After signing, Larry simply answered a few reporters' questions, and the press conference entered the stage of Carvalro's hosting, and Larry could leave, after all, he was still a child and had limited energy.

There was little news about the Lakers' trip to London, England for a preseason game, and almost all eyes were on the Warriors and Larry Byrne.

This time, the Warriors' actions were highly praised, and major media outlets put the incident on the front page, even the Wall Street Journal, the New York Times, and the Washington News all described the Warriors' signing of Larry in strong colors.

"California Sports" - "Too Love, Warriors Sign Little Star"

The Sentinel of the 76ers - "The Glory of Humanity, the Triumph of Goodwill"

USA-TODAY - "Warriors sign newcomers for love, sports love knows no boundaries"

New World Gospel - "Golden State Warriors do what only God does"

ABC News: "That's why we love the NBA, we love sports, it's not just about brutal battles, it's about passionate brotherhood, it's about warm feelings, and we can feel the warmth of God in this game." ”

"At the Open that day, Chamberlain was punched and kicked by a teenager, to which he reacted by dodging and forbearing. We know that Chamberlain could be the god of war in the sports world, and even if he enters the UFC cage fight, he can win the crown. However, at that time, he did not fight back against the kid at all, and showed the demeanor of a generation of football kings! ”

"I thought this was what a ball king looks like, but that's not it, when I went to the press conference between the Warriors and Champion Sports and saw the child's satisfied smile, I knew what Chamberlain meant, and I thought, from this moment, his influence went beyond basketball itself! Then, I understood what a ball king is! ”

The preseason starts on October 4, and the Warriors' first preseason game is on October 6, which is already a relatively late team.

Originally, the Warriors were going to Chinese mainland and Hong Kong for preseason games this time, but after urgent negotiations between the uniform team and the NBA commissioner's office, they changed the order of the game, and the first game was held at the Oracle Arena in Oakland, because Larry Byrne was not suitable to travel long distances to China.

The Warriors' first preseason opponent was the Clippers, which was also a coincidence, as it happened to be Billups' battle against his old club.

Historically, the Clippers have not been a powerhouse in name only, having only made the playoffs four times since moving from San Diego to Los Angeles in 1984, and only once have made it past the first round. The last time they made the playoffs was in 2005, when they qualified with a 47-35 record.

The Clippers have been hovering at the bottom in the past three seasons, with a record of no higher than 30 wins in a single season, and Blake Griffin, the top pick who was expected to be high-minded last season, was reimbursed early for the season, making the Clippers completely demoralized.

The Clippers finalized former Bulls coach Del Negro as the team's new head coach over the summer, and they will place more emphasis on team basketball in the new season. Looking at the lineup, the Clippers are not bad, including Chris Carman, Chauncey Billups, Eric Gordon and Griffin.

Originally, the Clippers were one of the teams with cap salary space this summer, and with the team in Los Angeles, it was natural for them to chase the big free agents.

It's a pity that the heavens didn't fulfill people's wishes, and after the big-name players found their next homes, the Clippers also signed some role players, which can be regarded as a reinforcement to the team. Fortunately, before the start of the pre-season, they signed Billups, which gave them a leap forward.

In fact, the Clippers' shelf is originally good, and the former All-Star star Chris Carman and champion Lang Griffin have teamed up to dominate the interior, plus a hopeful star like Eric Gordon, if the Clippers run in well, it is not a luxury for the existing roster to hit the playoffs.

While the team's core looks good, the bench lineup is a bit shabby, and it is only three former Timberwolves players who can get their hands on it: Randy Foye, Clegg Smith and Ryan Gomez.

In addition, this year's No. 8 rookie, Al Farouk Aminu, has a good prospect and can play small forward, which is the Clippers' weakest position at the moment, but it may be a year or two before he can really play at a level.

And Eric Bledsoe, a rookie who was drafted by the Thunder with the 18th pick and then traded to the Clippers, also has good quality and will be the Clippers' backup point guard. The only problem Bledsoe has to face is that he's only played one year in college and it may be difficult to adapt to the NBA.

The Clippers drafted Willie Warren with the 54th pick, who could bring body to the Clippers' backcourt. But like all rookies in this round, Warren is just a small gamble for the team.

After the unsuccessful free agent chase this summer, the Clippers' salary mix is still below the salary cap, which also gives them a lot of flexibility to go forward. Billups is also only mid-class on salary, so they still have a chance to sign another first-class star.

Regardless, the Clippers have a good roster on paper right now, and what they can achieve in the new season will depend on what new coach Vinny Del Negro can make the team look like.

For a team with a good squad on paper, the manager is the one who decides how far they can go.

On the evening of October 6th, the Oracle Arena was full of people, and the gorgeously dressed staff kept throwing gifts at the scene, and the beauties of the cheerleading team and the stars invited by the team came to the court to help.

However, the team will not celebrate the opening game, which will be done on the first home court of the regular season, and this time the team will simply stir up the atmosphere.

At seven o'clock in the evening, the players began to enter, with the Clippers coming in first, and Billups being the penultimate entering, cheering and boos mixed as he stepped onto the arena floor.

Billups used to be a hero for the Warriors, but unfortunately he chose to leave on his own, and this time the fans will not resent the team, because both the team and Billups have made statements that Billups will not accept the bench role and wants the team to trade him.

The Warriors sent Billups to the Clippers, which was also chosen by the latter himself, and the Warriors gave him a summer to choose a team, of course, it was impossible to choose at random.

Originally, the Warriors wanted to send Billups to the East, which would minimize his impact on the team, but if he went to the East, Billups wanted to go to the Heat.

The Warriors simply can't let this deal go through, Wade + Bosh + James, if there is another Billups, then the Warriors will really have to kneel next season.

The Magic team was crazy to get Billups, but they let Carter go and let the Warriors take advantage of it for nothing, so that the Warriors would not make trouble for themselves and give Billups to the Magic.

In addition to a few strong teams in the East, the other teams were too bad, and they were not selected for a summer until a few days ago, after negotiations between the two sides, Billups decided to go to the Clippers to assist the new champion Griffin.

After the Clippers players entered, it was the Warriors players, and in the passionate roar of the DJ, the lights were all turned off, and the bright iodine-tungsten lights sounded, and the lights shone on the players' tunnel entrance.

"The first one to come out is! Ladies and gentlemen, let us welcome the Ice Warrior from Alaska, a super defender with a blast of speed - Larry Bourne Enn ......! ”

In the bright lights, Larry Byrne, wearing the No. 23 shirt and stepping on the 'heart of a champion', walked out of the players' tunnel under the guidance of his father.

In an instant, the atmosphere of the stadium exploded!

It's like someone throwing a match into a powder keg, or as if a nuclear bomb has been dropped into a crater, and the violent roar is so loud that the fans almost all stand up and applaud and cheer: "Bourne, good!" Teach a lesson to that traitor against you! ”

"Man, we've all waited too long for this day! Ready to teach your opponent a lesson? ”

"Hi Larry, look at me here! Give me a smile, brother! Your story inspires me! I'm going to fight! ”

"Let the game begin! We can't wait, we're going to see Larry perform! ”
