The NBA regular season continues, and on January 9, the Lakers host the Magic.

Before the start of the game, the big screen on the court was not a collection of the Lakers' games, but a fragment of Guo Xu's classic music in "La La Land". The team's management is helping Guo Xu to hit the Oscars, which is an additional benefit.

Owner Jim Buss and manager Kupchak are well aware that the Lakers' contract to Guo Xu is not in line with his current value, and the commercial value he brings to the Lakers far exceeds the salary he receives.

This is a star effect, and Guo Xu's potential value is huge. The simplest example is the Lakers' lineup, if there is no Guo Xu, Durant and Wade will never join.

In the 1997-98 season, the Bulls owner was willing to give Jordan an annual salary of 33.14 million, which was higher than the NBA's salary ceiling of 24 million for a team at that time. It's just like that, the salary ceiling of a team is only eighty percent of Jordan's annual salary.

According to the current salary cap, Jordan's annual salary in the NBA should be about 150 million. Guo Xu has surpassed Jordan, if there is no limit, what salary should he get?

There are restrictions on Guo Xu and he makes a lot of money, and his advertising endorsement fee is amazing.

Nike previously decided to set Guo Xu's "Jason" as its sub-brand, and the treatment was the same as Jordan's, and every pair of Jason sneakers sold could take a certain profit. He is not involved in the operation of the company, only dividends.

Today, Jason has become the best-selling basketball shoe brand in North America, occupying 80% of the market share, with annual sales of more than $2 billion worldwide, and Guo Xu's dividends are more than $100 million.

What made Jordan depressed was that Guo Xu's shoes were on fire, and a lot of the market share he grabbed belonged to him. This led to a decrease in his dividends. In the past, Jordan's shoes sold the most because he was the first person in NBA history, and now this name has changed. Other stars have also been affected in terms of sneaker endorsements, but not as good as Jordan.

Guo Xu was lazy in this game, the team easily won 30 points, 7 people scored double-doubles, and no one scored more than 20 points.

The stars are all off work in the third quarter and play less than 30 minutes. Durant shot 6-of-9, 1-of-2 from three-point range and 6-of-6 from the free-throw line to finish with a team-high 19 points, seven rebounds and four assists. Guo Xu shot 7-of-10, 2-of-5 three-pointers, and 2-of-2 free throws, scoring 18 points, 3 rebounds and 10 assists.

The Magic are fifth in the East but don't have the ability to pose a threat to the Lakers. Only the top four teams in the East can be said to be strong, and the top four can be called weak teams.

Next, the Lakers are going to start a wave of road trips, which is a more difficult schedule.

On the 11th, the Lakers faced the biggest challenge of the season against the Spurs, and the two sides played an overtime game, and the Lakers defeated the Spurs 147-144.

After Duncan retired, Vicky's lineup became more aggressive, and he fought with the Lakers all over the court, and the point difference has never been opened. It wasn't until the end of overtime that the Lakers relied on Guo Xu's three-point shot in the counterattack to beat the Spurs.

Guo Xu just after half time grabbed a three-point shot on the right side, this kind of fairy ball can't be guarded, otherwise the two sides will enter the second overtime.

If it enters the second overtime, Guo Xu will go crazy this time. He played 47 minutes, shooting 21-of-33, 10-of-18 from three-point range and 13-of-14 from the free-throw line, finishing with 65 points, 3 rebounds, 12 assists and 3 steals.

If he plays another overtime, it should not be difficult for him to cut 70+10. Guo Xu rarely shoots this season, but when the team needs him to step up and score, he is not ambiguous at all.

Tony Parker and Mills combined for 16 points, but neither could score in double figures. Both of them are already a little numb, anyway, they are abused a few times a year to the point that they are tired and don't love them.

The best player on the Spurs' side was Kawhi Leonard, who defended Durant with a lot less efficiency, shooting just 45% from the field and taking fewer shots. He also had a strong offensive end, shooting 15-of-21, 5-of-9 from three-point range, and 8-of-9 from the free-throw line to finish with 43 points, 5 rebounds and 3 assists.

Pau Gasol was the second leading scorer, shooting 13-of-17, 0-of-1 from three-point range and 4-of-5 from the free-throw line for a triple-double of 30 points, 13 rebounds and 10 assists.

The advantage of these two people is that they are stable, and the disadvantage is that they are too stable, and they have been sharing the ball with their teammates selflessly, and even if they feel good, they will not finish shooting at a certain time. This is one of the characteristics of Vicky as a coach, and he hates the play of individual heroism.

The Spurs scored in double figures for all six of their teams, and they were one breath away from beating the Lakers. The media reported the game, and experts said that it was a pity that this was the closest they came to winning, and they didn't want to see the Lakers dominate.

President Adam Shaw especially wants to see the Lakers lose, and if that kind of thing happens, it proves that there is something wrong with him as a president. Now there are many fans scolding him, thinking that he has contributed to more and more star huddles. Xiao Hua felt extremely wronged, the huddle was because the salary cap had risen, which should have been a good thing, but it turned out to be his sin.

In addition, the current situation in the NBA is not convenient for Xiao Hua to implement future plans.

If Xiao Hua said the plan, the fans would definitely not support it, and he wanted to cooperate with American bookmakers. He believes that the future of the sports betting industry in the United States is booming. He intends to maintain and enhance the watchability of basketball games by using accurate, real-time NBA and WNBA data to bring consumers the best gaming and entertainment experience.

Now that the Lakers are invincible, if he negotiates the business in the future, the gambling is legalized, and the Lakers start to lose, isn't it just naked match-fixing and gambling?

As the saying goes, people die for money, and birds die for food. In the parallel world, Xiao Hua did cooperate with the bookmaker and started to play match-fixing. In the future, it will be so fake that it can no longer be fake, and now there are many suspected match-fixing games before gambling is legalized.

Just last week, in the Heat's game against the Pelicans, the Heat scored a steal and layup at a critical moment, and the difference of 3 points was in line with the handicap.

At this time, there are still 6 seconds left, and it is said that the Heat still have a chance. The Heat players who were actively wrapping just now began to be stunned, and did not adopt the tactics of wrapping or fouling, and quietly waited for the time to finish.

If the Heat want to win this game, then why don't players foul with 6 seconds left? Nothing other than match-fixing can't be explained at all.

There are many examples of this, such as the referee blowing the whistle 10 times a minute, and the script of that game was to foul each other in garbage time to score big points.

Some old fans lamented: "In this era, there are no miracles in the arena, only benefits." ”

Xiao Hua doesn't care about this, as long as he can attract new fans. New fans are willing to spend money, and they are also very passionate, and the kind of league that can be torn up for the fans who chase stars and other stars like the most.

The Lakers defeated the Nuggets 127-101 on the second road, and the win was relatively easy.

After sending Gallinari and Barton away, Nuggets management regretted that they were missing important three-point shooting points and had to try to hit the basket.

In the third away game, the Lakers defeated the underdog Trail Blazers back-to-back and won by 22 points comfortably. The starters were all relaxed and played on the court, and the defensive end also deliberately released water, otherwise they would not have played in the fourth quarter.

In the fourth away game, the Lakers beat the Mavericks again and won without any suspense.

In the fifth away game, the Lakers returned to Los Angeles and defeated the Clippers in the same city again, Guo Xu has played with experience against Paul, and led the team to win by 36 points easily.

Because Guo Xu rested early, backup point guard Felton played 18 minutes, shooting 6 of 10 and 1 of 2 three-pointers, scoring 13 points and 4 assists.

The Lakers started the season with a 47-game winning streak, and a grueling schedule has passed......
