Although it has not been officially announced, Anta has already discussed with the Lakers a series of cooperation matters such as advertising.
Apart from the fans, the Lakers should be the happiest because of Li Hao's outstanding performance, because the Lakers have begun to reap Li Hao's dividends, and Li Hao's No. 88 Lakers player sales are very high.
It is no different now than ten years ago. Ten years ago, many fans could not buy authentic Yao Ming jerseys and could only buy pirated ones. But now they can be bought, and China has developed in all aspects in the past ten years.
At the same time, many domestic manufacturers have begun to contact the Lakers about cooperation, which has further strengthened the Lakers' determination to cultivate Li Hao.
As long as Li Hao continues to perform and improve, the Lakers will definitely build a team around Li Hao after Kobe retires.
………………………………………….
"The Lakers failed to defeat the Celtics and ushered in their second three-game losing streak this season." At the North Shore Garden Stadium, the Lakers lost the game again.
The feeling of losing continuously is really bad, but with the Lakers' lineup, what can you do if you don't want to lose? Who wants to lose if you can win.
In order to win, Kobe took 23 shots and hit 9. Li Hao also took 20 shots and hit only 8, although 3 of them were three-pointers.
how to say? Because of losing streak and falling behind, Li Hao was very irritable in the second half, but it did not help the game itself.
Li Hao took 10 of his 20 shots in the second half, and his shooting percentage was very impressive. Scott didn't say anything about Li Hao's behavior, and neither did Kobe.
Kobe even passed the ball to Li Hao when he wanted to shoot. In Kobe's view, young players should shoot more if they want to excel. In a world without Li Hao, this is how Kobe supported Ingram.
Unfortunately, due to the change of Lakers management and the arrival of James, Ingram, who had an overlapping position, was sent to the Pelicans, and then traded from the Pelicans for a thick eyebrow.
It is said that the Lakers' opponent in the next game will be the Pelicans. The thick eyebrow brother is the boss of this Pelican. In addition to the thick eyebrow, this Pelican also has Holiday and Evans, one of Li Hao's selection templates.
Evans, who had just entered the league, was hailed as the James of point guards. As a result, the brain-dead Kings really used Evans as James, from point guard to point guard, and finally to forward.
This had a great impact on Evans and directly destroyed his growth. Seeing that Evans did not grow as expected, the king immediately sent him away.
In the NBA, loyalty is actually very cheap. One person, one city only belongs to a very small number of people. It is more about the cruelty of reality.
Especially for players, if the team is not good, they can replace it. Anyway, rookies enter the league every year, but if the players are eliminated, they are really useless.
So for rookies, the team is very important.

After the game with the Celtics, the Lakers players will stay in Boston for one night, but this does not include Li Hao, because he will attend the sneaker signing conference tomorrow.
After knowing that Li Hao was going back, Kobe also packed up and said that he would go back together. Players will definitely go out at night. This is also the characteristic culture of the NBA. Going to different places to experience different local nightclub cultures is the motivation for many NBA players to play away games.
If it were in the past, Kobe would definitely go out together, but now Kobe has calmed down and decided to be a good father and husband. He chose to stay in the hotel, so after knowing that Li Hao had to rush back to Los Angeles overnight, he decided to go back together.

"What made you choose Anta? As far as I know, Nike and Adidas also quoted extremely high prices." Witnessed by nearly a hundred media, Li Hao signed his name.
This is just a show, the real contract has been signed long ago.
"Because Anta is a very powerful company," Li Hao said.
"What does it mean to be powerful?" This person obviously had bad intentions.
"When the press conference is over, all the friends present today can take back a pair of sneakers that match their size. Then you can try them on and feel them for yourself." This was Anta's own arrangement, and it was said through Li Hao's mouth.
Favors and sophistication are the same everywhere. Here in the United States, it is actually normal to give small gifts to the media. Not to mention that major brands have favors with the media, teams and even players have favors with reporters.
Kobe Bryant taught Li Hao about this, and Kobe would often give sneakers and game tickets to reporters he knew well. Correspondingly, these people would speak up for Kobe if something happened.
Although Li Hao has only been in the league for more than a month, he has already maintained a good relationship with two reporters, one is from ESPN and the other is a reporter from Sports Illustrated.
"Li, as the first rookie in 2014 to have a signature sneaker, how are you feeling now?" This question was asked by an ESPN reporter who has a good relationship with Li Hao.
"The mood of dreaming into reality" Li Hao replied.
"Do you have anything to say to the rookies in the same class?" the reporter continued to ask.
"I'll give them a little more motivation," Li Hao said.
"Lee, do you have any requirements for your signature sneakers?" a reporter from American Illustrated asked.
"Two requests" Li Hao raised his fingers.
"Comfortable and handsome" is such a simple requirement.
"Will you participate in the design of your own signature sneakers?" Many players will participate in the design of their own sneakers.
"I think professional matters should still be left to professionals, but there is a premise that design is what I like." What should Li Hao do about design? possible? He won't participate, but he will definitely read the design draft to make sure it's handsome enough.
After all, being handsome lasts a lifetime, and sneakers only sell well if they look good.
This press conference lasted for more than an hour. Li Hao was undoubtedly the absolute focus, but Anta arranged for reporters to ask questions to themselves.
Anta also took the opportunity to promote its brand and technology. In addition, Anta also spent a lot of thought on other aspects, so after the event, all major media reported on the conference.
Some media that have a good relationship with Anta, the Lakers and the players themselves also gave many positive comments after trying them on.
With good quality and cheap price, Anta suddenly attracted the attention of many fans, which directly led to a wave of sales of sneakers. After fans also tried the sneakers, they began to look forward to Li Hao's signature sneakers. .
Even though Li Hao is still a rookie, in terms of popularity, he is no less famous than the famous stars, and is even higher than some stars in small ball markets. This also understands why players like to play in big ball markets.
