After Phoenix played its last game before the All-Star Weekend, the next day, on the morning of February 3, Zhang Hao took Hu Weidong, Cassell, Ben Wallace, Jason Williams, Artest The special men came to Atlanta and began business activities.
Currently, Hu Weidong, Artest, Jason Williams and others are promoting the No.24 series.
Zhang Hao and Daben¡¯s sneakers have sold very well this year, although other sneaker brands are crowding out x sports, including Nike, which cooperates with x sports.
But it still can¡¯t stop x sports¡¯s sales of sneakers from 2002 to 2003 to exceed 100 million.
Although this is the No. 24 series, et series, truth series, Big Ben series, Silver Horn King series, etc., it can ensure that the annual sales exceed 100 million, but this is already an excellent achievement.
After all, it was in the summer of 2000 that x Sports officially launched its first sneakers.
¡°It¡¯s just that even if the annual sales exceed 100 million US dollars, it is difficult to make a profit. The main profit of x sports now comes from the high-tech insole technology that is always one step ahead of the others and the global endorsement fees from Zhang Hao¡¯s endorsement of Nike.
Sales of sneakers have hit a new high, and advertising investment has almost used up all the profits.
But this is only in Europe and America.
Domestically, it has started to make profits a long time ago, even before it started to launch self-produced sneakers.
The domestic market is a solid backing for x Sports to conquer cities around the world.

After the day's business activities, back at the hotel, Zhang Hao and others learned about the deal between the Bulls and the Magic.
"The Bulls management reallyhas ideas!" Zhang Hao did not expect that the Bulls would solve the problem from this angle.
Jason Williams responded: "Many teams offered Malone. The Mavericks, Suns, and Spurs all wanted Malone, but the Bulls rejected it. Sure enough, they wanted to try to ease the conflict and sustain this season. "
As Jason Williams said, the Bulls' operation cannot be said to solve the problem. Instead, this operation shows that the Bulls do not intend to solve the problem of internal strife among the three superstars.
The conflict between the three is almost irreconcilable, but Malone's contract will end after this season. Malone still averages 19.6 points, 8 rebounds and 4.1 assists per game this season. He has played in 48 games, has strong offense and excellent passing. Defense on the line¡
Zhang Hao said: "It seems that they want to delay this season, temporarily cover up the conflicts, and rush for another year. In fact, this is the most correct approach. Malone is not the future of the Bulls, and he should make good use of his value now. Rather than creating a lose-lose situation.¡±
Jason Williams said: "I just didn't expect them to find a breakthrough in this direction. I heard that Bryant's agent recommended Phil Jackson to coach again."
Zhang Hao responded: "Rivers also has his advantages. He is very good at handling interpersonal problems within the team and is good at empathizing with ideals"
The NBA has some people with distinctive characteristics. In terms of management and coaching staff, Pistons general manager Joe Dumars is practical, SuperSonics general manager Larry Harris is prudent, and the Rockets and Clippers owners His stinginess, former Bulls coach Larry Brown¡¯s bad mouth, Sonics owner Howard Schultz¡¯s coffee, Sonics owner Michael Jordan is always accompanied by a Cuban model to help cut cigars and the former Magic coach Doc Rivers' ability to draw a pie.
These are the characteristics that fans can think of immediately when they mention them.
¡¡
??This year¡¯s trade deadline started with two head coaches exchanging clubs, which is very interesting.
Sports should be more serious, but professional sports should not be so serious.
This development is unreasonable, but it makes the fans feel comfortable.
Before the start of the All-Star Weekend, fans saw various off-field activities of the stars.
For example, the lawsuit between Kobe and Adidas started. Adidas sued Kobe for helping to promote competing products. Kobe said that he had not confiscated the endorsement fee and could wear whatever he liked. Not only did he have to wear the No. 24 generation, but he would also wear it in the next All-Star Game. Nike sneakers, change one pair every session.
It¡¯s very confusing, but Kobe¡¯s operation actually attracted a wave of fans.
In the past two years, things that have happened around Kobe have become more and more outrageous. Not long ago, he was fooled by a magician and had to pay 2 million to complete an out-of-court settlement but his popularity is constantly rising.
On February 6th, the All-Star Weekend officially begins.
The rookie competition was very lively. Although the first and second years were mixed, Arenas¡¯s personality wasThey said they regretted giving big contracts to Alvin Williams and Antonio Davis in 2001. They felt that these two players were now junk contract players and needed first-round picks and talented young players to be able to send them out.
"Two years ago, in the summer of 2001, the Raptors management shouted that they were going to win the championship next, leaving behind a strong championship lineup.
"The role players definitely shouldn't be the ones taking the blame. They can only do so much. The dual-core is not good enough, and it's just not as good as the previous year.
Now, Carter will be out for two months, Odom has been sent away, Antonio Davis and Alvin Williams have been sent away with more than three years left on their contracts with a combined average of $19 million per year, and the Raptors still have There are 34 games left and the current record of 23 wins and 25 losses can basically be a happy one.
Parker and Gooden, two talents with starting potential, are not wanted by the RaptorsCurrently, both of them are regarded as talents with starting potential.
The starting potential is not low. In the draft, the top three picks aside, the fourth and fifth picks. If you can choose a player who can be a starter for more than 5 years in his career, it will not be a loss. If he can be selected as an All-Star or two during this period, , that¡¯s a profit.
Like Ginobili, in the original time and space, his 16-year NBA career was actually only selected to the All-Star twice.
But obviously, the Raptors look down on young players like Parker and Gooden, and they want talents like Carter.
This may be related to the fact that they sent Odom away.
People are very interesting creatures. When they throw away 50 yuan, whether they throw it away voluntarily or because they have no choice but to throw it away, they will look down on 10 or 20 yuan for a long time. , and I won¡¯t feel too excited when I see something worth 50 yuan. I feel that only something worth 100 yuan is worthy of attention.
¡¡
What's going on with the Raptors doesn't matter now, because the Raptors are basically done with this season - when Carter is injured and won't be able to return until mid-to-late March, it's just to clean up everything.' obstacles', and at the same time took the opportunity to unfreeze the salary space that was originally locked until 2006.
The future of the Raptors can be seen at a glance, and people don't care so much about what happens next. So after discussing the "unkindness" of the Raptors management, people turned their attention to the other three teams. superior.
The Magic introduced Larry Brown.
No matter what the process is, Larry Brown has become a "good coach with excellent ability to cultivate talents."
He was the one who brought out the 76ers' double No. 1 pick and the Bulls' Plan B combination. Going back further, he was the one who unearthed the Pacers' double pick Davis, and he was the one who brought up David Robinson.
Now that the Magic have Kwame Brown and Gooden, they have also brought veteran Antonio Davis back to impart experience. It seems that Larry Brown is going to work.
The Grizzlies, with Damon Stoudemire declining and internal conflicts, are currently ranked second to last in the Western Conference. It¡¯s hard to say what their next record will be. Anyway, Damon Stoudemire¡¯s backup players Got it.
Parker, a man as fast as Damon Stoudemire.
Gooden was sent away in exchange for Gordon Kirisek. With strong support at the shooting guard position, internal conflicts were resolved.
With their current record of 12 wins and 36 losses, there is indeed no room for struggle.
¡°And their draft picks this year were all sorted out as early as 1999, and they were still unprotected.
According to the news from the source, the Grizzlies management is very calm and tells the players that everyone can finish the season happily this year. It is best to win a few more games. It doesn¡¯t matter if they lose. Just treat it as charity. Yes, the important thing is that everyone should improve in the game.
The most high-profile person in this deal is the Sonics.
They got the one with the most talent and strength in this deal involving about 10 players from 4 teams - Lamar Odom!
Artest, Kirilenko, Zhang Hao, Odom, Ben Wallace, Chandler, other players in other positions are ignored. Odom joins the Sonics, and the Sonics' frontcourt is full of manpower. To the extreme!
Let¡¯s not talk about the future salary situation. Now, the Sonics¡¯ already extremely powerful inside line has become even stronger!
In terms of the back line, the biggest problem for the Sonics this season is the back line. There is only one star in Cassell, Brent Barry, Parker, and Ginobili. They are either young or too mediocre.
Now, even Parker is gone.
On February 9, after returning to Seattle, Zhang Hao was asked this question in an interview.
Zhang Hao responded: "No problem, even if there is a problem, it will be solved. Besides, I am very used to working with magicians, and I also like working with magicians."
I like to play basketball too much. What should I do if I am too powerful? What should I do to update the fastest. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com)??I love working with magicians. "
