The Warriors won the Finals G2 victory, Wiggins felt average, cut 11 points, 6 rebounds and 2 assists data, but after the game, everyone's focus on Wiggins was not all on the field, but he explained why he did not wear Chinese sneaker sponsor Pick during the Finals, Wiggins's long article can be summarized as postal delays, the need for 3-5 games to run into new shoes, the interests of the team during the Finals, Peak has also agreed to his own requirements. So we saw Wiggins wearing Nike's Bryant series boots during the Finals, with the logo covered in tape.
The matter caused a lot of controversy, and Peak officials also spoke out in support of Wiggins, saying that after repeated communication with Wiggins, he understood his decision to put the interests of the team first. Apparently, Wiggins's seemingly illegal approach was to communicate with Peak and get consent to wear sneakers in this way.
The controversy of the outside world is that Wiggins, as one of the core players of the Warriors, signed the Chinese brand Peak, he should wear the relevant shoes during the finals, no matter what reasons are given, running-in or even finals considerations, he should wear his own sponsor's shoes, not "competitive" shoes, even if he gives a lot of reasons and explanations, and even negotiates with his own sponsors. Everyone knows that during the finals, the exposure of the shoes worn by the players is extremely high, and at this time, Wiggins is unacceptable for whatever reason and practice not to wear the shoes of his sponsor Peak.
Jia Lei, a well-known journalist, commented on this matter on social media, and he also angrily denounced Wiggins' approach, and also attacked the statement of sponsor Peak, saying: "What I especially don't understand is that if the new sneakers need to adapt, then the big triangles that have been stepped on by the old ones can't be worn?" Only wearing Nike can guarantee the interests of the team? Or is it that you can't play playoff-level games in peak shoes at all? The spokesperson who signed his own real money and silver did not wear his own brand of sneakers on such a big stage as the finals, and even had to express understanding and support?! What is this theory and attitude? Is Peake kneeling directly? ”
Public opinion is polarized, and some fans feel that Wiggins' approach is no problem, only to get the consent of their own sponsors, and wearing Kobe bryant shoes is also a cover sign. There are also fans who feel that Wiggins took the initiative to explain, and the attitude is very good, and he has also obtained the consent and understanding of the sponsors, which is no problem.
Of course, there are also many fans who are dissatisfied with Wiggins's approach, feeling that whatever the reason, Wiggins's approach is a breach of contract, even if it is the consent of the sponsors. And the need for 3-5 games to grind new shoes, the team's interests during the finals first, can not be accepted by most fans.
Of course, Peak did not say that Wiggins did not wear his own shoes during the finals penalty, if it is only the Simple Communication of the Wiggins team, get Peak's consent, still holding the full sponsorship fee, it is certainly not understandable, after all, no matter from any point of view, his important players, during the attention and ratings of such a high Finals, do not wear their own shoes, but also get all the sponsorship fees, can not be accepted.
