Basketball's most talented forward is on the left

On November 8, the news that the sales and pre-sales of the first generation of and1zl exceeded 2 million pairs became an outlier among the competition news, and it became so dazzling with the blessing of Zuo Ligang 5025.

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

Back in 1985, Michael Jordan's black and red sneakers swept the entire sneaker market. 2.3 million pairs were sold throughout the year, with a sales volume of US$150 million. This is still a very high figure even today, more than 20 years later.

Needless to say, at that time, you can imagine what a huge impact that dazzling black and red pair had on the entire sneaker market and even the NBA.

It is said that at that time, because of the league's color ban, Jordan would have to pay a fine of 5,000 dollars every time he appeared on the court. After one season, the amount of fines reached an astonishing 750,000. That was in 1985, and how many players did not earn such a whole year's income?

It was a lot, but compared with the profits and influence it brought, this mere 750,000 was nothing to mention. This pair of shoes also successfully pulled Nike back from the edge of the cliff, and thus gave birth to the absolute dominance of the basketball market.

Today's AJ earns 1 billion or even 2 billion US dollars every year. Even if Jordan has retired for many years, there is no one who can compete with him in the sneaker market. He can still take away more than 100 million yuan in sky-high revenue from Nike every year.

Which player wouldn’t envy him!

After more than 20 years, it seems that there is finally a pair of shoes that can compete with the AJ series in the basketball field.

Of course, it's just a touch. The media naturally won't think that Zuo Li's personal signature shoes will surpass Jordan. That's unrealistic.

However, there is no suspense about surpassing other current stars.

Zuo Li remembered 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 U.S. dollars, which was three times that of Durant, who was second in that year.

The number sold is about 800,000 pairs, and it has not reached one million worldwide, let alone this year.

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

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

Poof!

James felt like he had been hit by another arrow in the knee. For two consecutive days, he was shown off by Zuo Li both inside and outside the court. James felt that he had offended some angel sister, why was it so difficult for him?

Before the game that night, this topic was specifically discussed in the TNT special program. Barkley, who is also an insider but has never had his own sneakers in his life, said sourly: "I really envy Zuo Li. This guy, you know, not only can he have

It’s really incredible for this guy to sell so many of his own shoes. Is he a genius?”

"But as an insider, I sincerely wish him the best. I also hope that these golf businessmen can consider insiders more. We are also very good."

Kenny nodded repeatedly, but he didn't agree in his heart.

Zuo Li's success is almost impossible to copy. With his height inside, he can also play outside. He can be coquettish, violent, and unrestrained. He is also handsome, with long arms, but good proportions. It can be said that fans like him.

He took almost all of it.

The design of the sneakers is also very good, with fresh technology added. Although it is an inner shoe, it is not bulky. According to fan feedback, there is no big problem when wearing the outer shoe. Although some flexibility is sacrificed, the protection is better.

, and sparing no effort in bombing with various advertising campaigns, it’s surprising that it didn’t sell well.

Other insiders, Kenny Smith took a look at Barkley's face... and felt that it was better not to tell the truth.

And the popularity of this pair of shoes has also reached the NBA court.

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

In the locker room, Zuo Li also fulfilled his promise. All teammates and coaching staff had a pair of shoes each. Randolph tried it on at that time and couldn't put it down: "This foot feels great."

Before going on the court, Randolph was still very regretful because he couldn't play in this suit.

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

If and1 wants to expand, on the one hand fresh blood is very important, on the other hand it also needs to expand its territory, which is what Zuoli will do in the next stage.

Back to business.

The shopping mall is proud, but the left side of the stadium is still unambiguous.

Returning to their home court after winning 6 consecutive games, the Knicks continued their winning streak. Facing the Bucks who came from afar, the Knicks did not adjust to their optimal state. All six three-pointers in the first quarter were made in consecutive away games.

the impact caused.

But the Knicks did not fall behind in the first quarter, because Zuo Li grabbed 4 offensive rebounds on Bogut's head in the single quarter and committed 3 fouls on Bogut in the single quarter, making the Australians want to swim back.

The Knicks, who had 6 more second offenses, led by 3 points entering the second quarter.

The Knicks, knowing that their outside touch was poor, also began to focus on playing inside. Zuo Li, Randolph, David Lee and Anderson took turns to destroy the basket. The Knicks led by 10 points at halftime.

In the second half, Jennings wanted to gain momentum. Counting the days, he was not far away from scoring 55 points. He has been feeling good recently and could already hit a pull-up three-pointer in front of Belinelli.

However, Jennings could not change the situation, and the Knicks still expanded the score. Their 15-point advantage in the third quarter was enough for them to take away the victory.

108-100, the Knicks won at home and won their 7th consecutive victory.

Zuo Li finished the game with 30 points, 15 rebounds and 6 blocks. His performance was still solid. With this game, Zuo Li's scoring average rose to second in the league, 1 or 4 points behind Durant, who ranked first.

And Zuo Li, who seemed to have found the scoring touch in these two games, did not keep the fans waiting for too long.

On November 10th, back-to-back games came to the Devils' home court of the Jazz. Zuo Li made 14 of 15 shots, scored 36 points and 14 rebounds, and beat Boozer. Boozer was unlucky to encounter an insider like Zuo Li who could follow him out.

, he was able to survive last season, but now he can only take a beating.

The Knicks also defeated the Jazz 105-97 to win their 8th consecutive victory!

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

Then, the Eagles at No. 12 and the Warriors at No. 14 still failed to stop the Knicks from winning streak, 107-100, 98-94. Although the point difference became smaller and smaller, the Knicks always won!

Ten consecutive wins!

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

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

Strong!

Very powerful!

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