Sakuragi's road to NBA superstardom

Chapter 108 Galaxy Spray

There are more than [-] people, and there are no boundaries.

Although Sakuragi commented on the NBA Finals on the spot, he was sitting in the stands at that time. Compared with standing in the middle of the field, these are two completely different feelings.

Nearly [-] fans poured into the Lawrence Joel Veterans Memorial Stadium, which made all recruits, including Duncan, feel tremendous pressure.

Unlike many Buddhist audiences at home in the NBA, NCAA fans are a group of fanatical diehard fans.

If the safety conditions in the arena allow, they even want to set off some fireworks in the stadium to add to the fun!
In 2013, the home fans of the Miami Heat once appeared, at the most critical moment of Game [-] of the Finals, they thought the team was hopeless and left the game early.

This also made those fans who abandoned the home team in order to avoid traffic jams miss the Heat's shocking comeback. The other protagonist of that game was Sakuragi's current teammate, Tim Duncan.

Sakuragi: "Tim, how tall are you now?"

In order to relieve the tension between himself and Duncan, Sakuragi chatted with Duncan with the ball.

Duncan: "211CM, your prediction has come true.

And I found that you have grown a lot taller too. "

Duncan stared, showing a look of admiration.

Sakuragi: "My Chinese secret technique, which penetrates the secrets of heaven, is not in vain.

Such a small matter, of course, can predict the same. "

As soon as he installed the fortune teller, Sakuragi immediately relaxed.

Duncan: "Then you predict today's game."

Sakuragi: "...

It's not impossible to predict. You can see that the team name of Duke University is the Blue Devils, and our name is the Devil Deacon.

There is an old saying in China, when two ghosts meet, the fierce ghost wins.

Therefore, as long as we show more courageous momentum today, we have a chance to win! "

Duncan: "Do you think I am brave or not?"

Duncan waited for the brave eyes and asked Sakuragi.

Sakuragi: "You are brave, bro..."

Sakuragi pinched his lower back very hard, so that he could dissolve the smile that he could hardly hold back.

Duncan: "Sakuragi, your sneakers today are very special?"

After being messed up by Sakuragi, Duncan was no longer so nervous. Duncan's brave eyes saw the sneakers on Sakuragi's feet.

Fans who have a little research on sneakers will know that what Sakuragi is wearing today is a pair of "Galaxy Jet" that will sell for over 2019 in [-]!
The word "bubble" is what Chinese shoe fans call Nike Air Foamposite, and it is endorsed by NBA legend "Penny" Hardaway.

The designer is Eric Avar, Nike bald designer.

In fact, Nike Air Foamposite was originally designed for Pippen, but because Pippen was not satisfied with this design, and Hardaway liked it very much, it became Hardaway's endorsement boots.

It's just that this classic NIKE sneaker came out in 1997, but Sakuragi stepped on him in 1994.

And the Galaxy spray on Sakuragi’s upper foot prints the twinkling sea of ​​stars directly on the upper of the sneakers, which looks like stepping on the Milky Way from a distance!
The task given to Sakuragi by the road to superstar system is to make him a superstar on the court.

Sakuragi, who can travel through time, of course cannot be satisfied with his achievements on the court, but he wants to make a name for himself in all aspects of basketball!

When designing knee pads for Mitsui, Sakuragi felt that the commercial value of sports products is definitely promising. He also had an idea of ​​attacking NIKE at that time.

If you want to make a living in the NBA league in the 90s, you have to live in the shadow of the basketball god Michael Jordan.

But Sakuragi has the ambition to bring down the throne of God, so he went ahead before the food and grass arrived.

Sniping NIKE is also an important means for Sakuragi to PK Jordan in the future. He not only wants to beat Jordan on the court, but also wins in the mall!
The pair of shoes on Sakuragi's feet is hard-won. Even if Sakuragi can provide a complete design plan and can be molded on the production line to make shoes, it is still a lot of money.

All this is thanks to Yang Ping, who was loved by white girls when he first arrived in the United States. In this environment where thousands of people love him, Yang Ping met a daughter who owns a sports shoe factory at home.

For Sakuragi's future plans, Yohei can only endure (le) humiliation (ci) burden (bu) heavy (pi) betrayal, and maintain a pure relationship with that young lady.

Miss Qianjin also agreed to make sneakers for Sakuragi because of Yohei's MVP-level performance.

As soon as the sneakers came out, Sakuragi registered the brand trademark and the appearance patent of the sneakers.

Sakuragi's sneaker brand is called VT, which is the English abbreviation of "Tree of Victory", and the brand's logo is also a pictographic symbol of VT.

The logo is printed on the "Galaxy Spray" without any sense of disobedience.

Although Sakuragi already has the determination to compete with Jordan, but at the moment he is still a fringe rookie in the Devil's Deacon team, Sakuragi has to return to reality, such as answering Duncan's question first.

Sakuragi: "This is a sneaker I designed myself, how about it, isn't it cool?"

Duncan: "Is the style of this sneaker also calculated by your fortune-telling?
I love them so much, can you sell me a pair? "

No basketball player can resist the allure of a good basketball shoe.

Sakuragi: "If you win Duke today, I'll give you a pair."

Duncan: "Deal."

The Milky Way on Sakuragi's feet is as exquisite as a work of art, but it's a pity that it is worn on his feet.

Even though ESPN Sports is broadcasting games across the United States, few people pay attention to the basketball shoes that are far beyond the design language of the times.

If these shoes were worn on the feet of Grant Hill on the opposite side, then the attention of this pair of Galaxy sprays would have become a hot topic in the United States.

But the reality is so cruel, Sakuragi must use his performance to attract the attention of many people!

Assistant coach Mark submitted the starting list arranged by coach Odom.

Wake Forest University Devil Deacon team starting five are, 210cm center Brent Senna, 211cm power forward Tim Duncan, 203cm small forward Anthony Tucker, 199cm shooting guard JR Green, 188cm point guard Randolph Childrins.

Except for center Brent Cena, who is white, the other members of the Devil's Deacon team are all black players.

Childerins, who was injured for nearly a season, finally ushered in his comeback battle, and Alan Miller, who had been the main point guard for a long time before, was squeezed to the bench.

This makes Alan Miller look less happy.

But all of this seems to have nothing to do with Sakuragi. For an end-of-the-bench player like him, unless something special happens, it is difficult for him to have a chance to appear in this kind of focus game.

But Sakuragi never lacked accidents.
