Chapter 269 268: If a team has three DPOY

It's not unreasonable for Dennis Rodman and Jerry West to be so wary of this guy.

After all, his previous glorious deeds were enough to condemn his career to death.

First of all, he has no outstanding talent.

I was only 1.68 meters tall in high school and didn’t know what basketball was. After graduating from high school, instead of going to college, I went to guard the gate at the airport.

Really, a man who has avoided thirty years of detours.

It wasn't until he suddenly grew taller while working as a security guard that his family relatives recommended him to go to a pheasant university to play basketball. Finally, he wasn't drafted into the NBA until he was 25 years old.

So first of all, this person has poor talent.

Secondly, this man has a strange personality.

Like thousands of little black children, Rodman lost his father when he was three years old, and he was dependent on his two sisters and mother.

His mother couldn't afford new clothes for little Dennis, so he picked up his sisters' old clothes and wore them since he was a child.

This once caused him to develop gender disorder, and he felt that he was intersex for a long time, which also created his weird personality.

Fortunately, his family is too poor to afford surgery, otherwise he would be a good role model for EJ Jiang and Wade's son.

After leaving the Pistons and joining the Spurs, Rodman completely became a street rat.

Dyeing your hair, getting tattoos, not participating in training camps, refusing to go to away games, getting into fights. These are all childish matters.

The most intolerable thing is that in the first round of the 1994 playoffs between the Spurs and the Lakers, he publicly refused to help the team's boss, the Admiral, on defense.

Of course, Rodman's original intention was to fear that Barkley would be completely left alone after he double-teamed him.

But I really couldn’t defeat the coach.

So, all I can say is: "The star player should deal with his opponent by himself!"

Since then, Rodman and the Spurs have been estranged from each other.

He beat team coach Bob Hill to a bloody head with an ice pack. He was injured and suspended while riding a motorcycle.

Compared with these, his being caught in a pornographic place does not seem to be a breaking news.

Popovich hated this devil so much that he even dreamed of sending him away.

Rodman also hated Popovich and thought he was a hypocrite.

But other teams are not stupid either. Who dares to take over such a bastard?

Therefore, even if the Spurs have been selling Rodman for many years, there is still no result.

Finally, the Spurs survived until Rodman's contract expired.

This summer, the Spurs and Rodman finally officially broke up.

But Rodman found that he was not interested in the free agent market!

He was born in 1961 and is already 35 years old. He is two years older than Jordan.

A veteran, or an uncontrolled veteran, few teams are willing to touch him, even if he is cheap.

But Rodman is not without merit. He is cunning, brave and desperate.

He holds five rebounding titles and two best defensive players. In the season that just ended, he was a member of the defensive team.

Once in the Pistons, he was also one of the people who gave Jordan and Pippen a headache.

As Logo says, Dennis Rodman is a double-edged sword.

Just like a beautiful woman, she is very attractive, but may cause harm to the body.

If they can make good use of him, the Lakers can just make up for the shortcoming of insufficient rebound protection.

Moreover, you can also get a defensive madman who is willing to fight others for 48 minutes.

This will undoubtedly greatly reduce the defensive pressure on Shay, allowing Shay to focus more on the offensive end.

But if it doesn't work well, the Lakers will probably have to be prepared to reimburse Carlisle's medical expenses.

Carlisle: "No ice packs are allowed in the medical room from now on!"

In the end, Logo picked up the phone and invited the demon king to come and talk face to face.

At the same time, Shay is preparing for the Olympics while working hard in the business arena.

Thanks to the fact that the 1996 Olympics were held in America, Shay could attend to his own affairs while preparing for the competition.

First, Shady launched a TV commercial for his personal brand "Shady."

Soon, this TV commercial became popular with its cool soundtrack, celebrity lineup and great looks.

The commercial starts and Eminem's music cuts in.

Shay held a basketball in his hand and went out wearing a fancy red sports jacket and walked to a street court.

Inside the stadium, AI, this year's No. 1 pick, and Kobe, the son of New York with the No. 6 overall pick, were dueling one-on-one.

AI and Kobe looked at Shay, then stopped what they were doing.

Xie smiled and waved: "One more, I'm not very good at playing."

Then the camera turned around, and amid Eminem's very rhythmic music, Shay and Kobe began to duel.

In the first few shots, Kobe guarded Shay several times.

When Kobe was feeling proud, Shay zipped up his jacket: "I am the NBA scoring champion after all!"

After that, Shay became serious and naturally used various postures to score crazy points and completely tortured Kobe.

When Kobe was filming a commercial, he was dissatisfied with the plot and had to challenge Shay one-on-one.

As a result, the result was that Kobe made 1 of 10 shots from the field. At such a young age, he showed his amazing potential as the iron king in history.

In the original history, the Lakers became the all-time iron king in 1996 and the all-time turnover leader in 2018. They deserve to be a wealthy team, not a nobody.

After Kobe's defeat, the camera was switched to the street-style AI.

AI started a duel with Shay, and he made a few advances in the first few rounds.

At this point, Shay took off his jacket, turned it over and put it on again.

It was discovered that this turned out to be a double-sided jacket.

The color on the other side is mainly black, with purple lines embellishment, giving people a strong sense of oppression.

Then Shea muttered, "I'm the Defensive Player of the Year, too!"

Only then did people understand that the original design of the double-sided jacket was that the gorgeous side represented the scoring leader and the black side represented DPOY.

Immediately afterwards, there are shots of Shay's various anti-crying AI.

In the end, Shay defeated the two and then shrugged: "Want to become stronger? Come train with me."

At the end of the shot, Shay stood in the C position, AI and Kobe were on both sides, and the three of them walked out of the basketball court side by side.

After that, four young and beautiful supermodels also entered the camera from both sides, wearing simple white large-size T-shirts, showing their long legs, wearing coconut shoes, walking side by side with Shay and his two eldest sons towards the camera.

Finally, during Eminem's music, everyone just walked in front of the camera in a line, sculpted their faces, and the commercial ended.

This cool advertisement with a full street feel has caused a craze among young people.

It even spread to Taiwan, and after being seen by a little boy who loved music, a basketball dream was planted in his heart. He secretly made up his mind to play basketball in the future as cool as Shay in the advertisement.

Because the spokespersons are all very good-looking, and they are all wearing Xie's brand items, so for a while, Xie's brand was basically synonymous with coolness and fashion.

If you don't have a pair of coconut shoes, you'll be embarrassed to say hello to a girl.

If you can wear a double-sided sports jacket of the same style as Shay, then you will be the most handsome boy on the street.

In addition, many graphic posters shot by the four young models were also posted in major shopping malls.

Shay's brand is truly unisex!

Coupled with Shady's hunger marketing strategy, this resulted in queues at all Shady stores across the country, and it even made the news!

Shay has already become famous after winning the championship this year, and his personal influence is no less than that of Jordan. And this cool TV commercial has the effect of adding fuel to the fire.

Of course, it's not just Shay who's making money.

Eminem and the four little models' fame began to soar as the advertisement became popular.

The commercial value of AI and Kobe is the highest among rookies in the same period.

When Camby was still promoting his ugly and big center basketball shoes that no one would pay for, Kobe and AI, who were extremely handsome in the advertisements, had become the new idols of young people.

After many years of planning, Shay's personal brand finally ushered in its first sales climax.

Falkdu joked: "Maybe the next contract can ask the Lakers for 40 million a year? After all, the income from the main business cannot be lower than the side business~"

After Logo Man made an appointment with Busy Shay in early July, his first words when we met were: "Shay, can you give me a double-sided jacket? I can't even buy one in Los Angeles!"

Xie smiled and waved his hand: "It's so funny, I can't even buy it!"
