Shen Huan also watched the Lakers game.
It's natural that Kobe and Iverson are in good shape.
In order to win the championship, Howard played 30 minutes in this game after further recovery from his injury, grabbing 20 rebounds and 12 blocks.
In the seven minutes when the Nets were defeated, it was his four consecutive blocks that made the Nets players doubt their lives, which led to their lack of courage in attacking.
Interestingly, after the game, when being interviewed by Ji Yinmei, Ji Yinmei specifically mentioned this issue.
"Dwight, we all know that you have been troubled by back injuries in recent years, but you played for 30 minutes in this game and seemed to be in very good condition. Has your back injury recovered?"
"Of course!" Howard didn't know what politeness meant. "I have received treatment from very good doctors throughout the summer. Now my back injury is much better. Give me another month to adjust. I will I can let you see the peak of Warcraft again!"
Then Howard's words were edited and uploaded to YouTube.
"Oh my god, do you think you are Shen Huan? A monster in its peak stage?"
"Ever since the back surgery, Howard has been useless! Now he is just relying on experience to play!"
"I'm not bragging, the little emperor can kill him suddenly!"
"Who was not in good form at the beginning of the game? Wait until the season is at its most intense, and after there are many back-to-back games, you can say this again!"
"Although you are better than the previous center of the Lakers, you are only a little better! Don't be too proud and complacent! The Lakers still have to rely on Shen Huan!"
“…”
One can imagine how depressed Howard would be when he saw these comments.
But only Shen Huan knew that Howard's arrogance, or hunch, was very correct.
The combination of the marrow-washing decoction for strengthening muscles and bones (intermediate level) and the dog skin plaster for treating back injuries (beginner level) play a decisive role in the recovery of Howard's injury.
Howard is not two old men like Kobe and Iverson. He is only 31 years old.
The 31-year-old's body is already in good shape, and with the recovery of mysterious power, of course his condition will get better and better.
Although the center relies heavily on his body to make a living, the center does not only rely on his body.
In recent years, Howard has gradually become accustomed to using skills instead of rushing in, so when his body and condition recover, he will definitely play better.
Shen Huan actually had a premonition.
Even if he does not return to the NBA this time and no longer compete in the playoffs for the Lakers, the Lakers will at least reach the Western Conference Finals.
Their only obstacles in the league are the Golden State Warriors and the Cleveland Cavaliers.
The rest of the teams are no match for the three veterans.
But when you meet James and Irving, Curry and Thompson at their peak, there's really no way around it. It's hard to tell the outcome.
For young people, all they really want to do is watch NBA games and pay a little attention to them.
He has more things to do of his own and has no time to spend on entertainment.
For example, in the past few days, after Shen Huan's customized stone-breaking tools arrived, he began to understand stones in a closed room.
A total of 360 large and small jadeite rough stones, even if Shen Huan has experience and the blessing of the jade master (intermediate level), is enough to take him more than ten days or even a month of rest time.
That is to say, Shen Huan would only go out at night if he had to socialize.
For example, tonight, Shen Huan had to go to a meeting.
It was Adidas that came to him.
After Shen Huan came back, the stock prices of the companies he endorsed skyrocketed.
Adidas has experienced a wave of rapid growth since June, with its market value soaring to the equivalent of 30 billion US dollars.
As a result, more than 20 days after Shen Huan announced his comeback, Adidas stock price directly exceeded 33 billion US dollars!
According to the speculations of stock market commentators, when Shen Huan continues to play in the playoffs next year, Adidas' market value may reach 50 billion US dollars!
Although a company like Adidas does not rely on rising stock prices to make a living, its own operating income and profits are ridiculously high.
The main reason why their market value has not been rising is that Germans are not good at speculating on stocks, and most of Adidas's stocks are held by the company's major founding shareholders. They don't even think about cashing out and market circulation. Not much.
There are not many circulating stocks, so it is naturally not easy to speculate on them.
This is not comparable to the highly commercialized American Nike, which can easily reach a market value of hundreds of billions of dollars.
But if Adidas' market value exceeds 50 billion US dollars, or even more, then their strength will basically be on an equal footing with Nike.
This is unacceptable to Nike!
For this reason, Nike has fired the specialist who was responsible for negotiating with Shen Huan.
Even at that time, it was impossible for them to sign a lifetime contract with the retired Shen Huan, but they still had to give explanations to the board of directors and shareholders.
It was at this time that the scapegoat was dragged out and slaughtered.
Compared with Nike's remorse, Adidas executives are happy recently.
In addition to the rise in stock prices, the main reason is that the company has received actual benefits and made a lot of profits.
Needless to say, Shen Huan’s championship-winning T-shirt and Shen Huan’s Fermat’s Last Theorem commemorative T-shirt have already put their endorsement fees back into their pockets.
Just take the first batch of "Shen Huan Championship Edition sneakers" launched in June, with a quantity of 5 million pairs, and all of them would be sold out in less than 7 days.
In fact, these seven days still included the most remote areas, and the prosperous areas were robbed of goods that day.
Countless fans who had not bought the sneakers signed a letter to protest. Of course, Adidas followed suit and launched another 8 million pairs of championship-winning sneakers in August.
As a result, in just 5 days, the sneakers were sold out again.
The reason is that not only basketball fans are grabbing it, but many fans who simply like Shen Huan are also grabbing it.
Especially in Asia, Adidas' sales exceeded Europe and America for the first time. Of the second batch of 8 million pairs, they have prepared 5 million pairs for distribution in Asia.
The final sales result was just as they expected—it sold much faster than in Europe and the United States!
Especially in China, 2 million pairs can be described as a drop in the bucket. Even if it is a limited sale, all of them are sold out within one day.
The managers of Adidas felt that even another 10 million would not be able to meet the needs of Shen Huan's huge fan base.
The scalpers that were born for this reason can quickly sell the goods at two or three times the price, and they are also happy with their profits.
