Chapter 534 [Focus, Alternative Culture]
During the Denver All-Star Weekend, Guo Xu wanted to play soy sauce, but his agent Harpy Waters suggested that he attend more events so that it would be better to negotiate with Nike's next sneaker contract and the price would be higher.
Guo Xu chose to participate in the three-point contest, which was relatively easy, and the competitors were Peja Stojakovic, Korwall, teammate Joe Johnson and others.
There was a butterfly effect in this year's three-point contest, and Quentin Richardson, who was supposed to win the championship, did not participate. He joined the Jazz last summer and didn't make many three-point shots, playing more steadily under Sloan than in the past, using his strong body to create mid-range shots.
Every year during the Star Weekend, the stars of each team perform on the court, and it is not only the basketball that is dazzling, but also the shoes on their feet. The stadium is also a silent battleground for sneaker manufacturers, with many sports brands stocking up on their superstars.
Many fans will keep an eye on the star's feet to keep track of the movement. Crookes, a spokesman for Nike, said: "This is a big moment in the spotlight. "He's not exaggerating.
Guo Xu's new "Jason4" is a product of Nike's careful design, and it still takes the light route to facilitate the player's acceleration. The total weight of the sneaker is only 11.7 ounces, and the low-top design has a gold color palette, like the color of a champion.
The Jason collection has become the most popular line of iconic basketball shoes in the league right now. Many fans began to collect each of Guo Xu's basketball shoes, just like they collected Jordan shoes back then. Some are fans, and some people are betting that he will achieve better results in the future, and the sneakers seem to be expensive, but in fact, they can appreciate in the future when they are collectibles.
In Guo Xu's previous life, Jordan's influence in the basketball field, which has been retired for many years, is still amazing, and by 2018, he can get $110 million a year just by sharing with Nike's Jordan brand sneakers.
With Guo Xu's current speed of launching sneakers once a year, Nike will definitely not treat him badly when he retires, and the lifetime contract is certain, which is the trend of cooperation in the future.
In 2002, Adidas signed a lifetime contract with Maddie. Now Maddie is also the only person Adi can compare with Guo Xu in sneaker sales, and this season he performed a miracle of 35.13 seconds, leading the Rockets to a last-minute reversal of the Spurs.
This kind of thing seemed destined to happen to Maddie, and God was moved to cry again. His pull-up shot was so high that he could barely block it, so he threw it at people and then fought for it. In the history of the NBA, there are very few people who can use "pull-up" shooting as a trick to hit opponents like him.
Megan Fox didn't accompany Guo Xu to All-Star Weekend, and her mother, Darrens, was sick and hospitalized and went to Los Angeles to accompany her.
Guo Xu is not lonely, there are many teammates who come to participate in the star weekend, and in addition, he can also find "Big Shark" O'Neill to play with.
Phoenix is not far from Denver, Guo Xu and others checked into the hotel on Thursday afternoon, O'Neal arrived two hours late, and immediately took Wade to knock on Guo Xu's door after checking in.
The birth of any group starts with a "honeymoon period", and the same is true for O'Neal and Wade's partnership. When he joined the Heat, he said in front of the media that he was an assistant to Wade, and the relationship between the two was very good.
After chatting for a while, Guo Xu's familiar personality made Wade feel bathed in the spring breeze, and he soon became acquainted, thinking that Guo Xu was a friend worth dating.
Although Wade was robbed of his nickname and can now only be called "Cheek Gang", he doesn't know. And what Guo Xu said was what he liked to hear, and he could also give him some advice on the court.
He and Wade have been familiar with each other since the time loop, and he knows what Wade does training and what goals he has. He also knew that Wade was now on Pat Riley's side and couldn't speak ill of "god operators".
"Shakel, I think you've lost a lot of weight." Guo Xu found that O'Neill was not so round when he sat today.
"It's getting a lot more training, I think I'm better than I was with the Lakers, and if we meet in the Finals this year, we won't lose to the Suns." O'Neill brightened his biceps.
"Then I'll see you in this year's finals, don't miss it." Guo Xu said with a smile.
If the two teams do meet in the Finals, it will be a very good gimmick, and the ratings will definitely be much higher than the Suns vs. Pistons and Pacers. The Heat do have a chance to make it to the Finals, losing to the Pistons in their previous life because of Wade's injury.
Guo Xu can see that O'Neal and Riley are also on their honeymoon now, because he wants to stay competitive, play at a star level, and slap Lakers management and Kobe Bryant in the face.
The Heat are literally a weight loss center, and Riley is serious about the "body fat content" program, requiring every guard on the team to have only 6 percent fat content, 7 to 8 percent for forwards and 10 percent for centers.
Under Riley's devil training, not only Baxter and Fetzer, the two big forwards, have successfully lost weight, but even O'Neal's big fat has an effect.
O'Neal joined the Heat, bent on winning the championship, and he was very motivated. He is very smart, and he knows that if he doesn't fight in the past few years, he will have no chance and can only regret it in the future. As he gets older, his athleticism and physical strength will become worse and worse.
During the physical test, Riley looked at O'Neal's 18% body fat content and shook his head, forcing him to reduce it to 13%. Although O'Neal was dissatisfied, he insisted on doing those seemingly boring weight-loss training and basic exercises for the championship. Riley did bring O'Neal back to the top, and although he was overdrawn, he is indeed a star who can compete for MVP this year.
Therefore, although in the previous life, from "Magic" to "Big Shark", from Wade to James, the ending of the star and Riley ended in a falling out, but after the passage of time, they also understood that this was Riley's way of success.
To make weight loss a team culture, the Heat are second to none. Many of the Heat's draft failures have relied on their own perseverance and the team's bottom-up tradition. A lot of players with average qualifications have made a name for themselves in the Heat, such as Bruce Bowen, Haslem, Whiteside, Tyler Johnson, and so on.
The stars arrived one after another, and in the evening eight stars gathered for dinner, with LeBron James and Carmelo Anthony also joining, and the restaurant was recommended by Anthony.
Anthony was not selected for the All-Star Game on his home court, and only represented the sophomore in the Rookie Challenge, but when his friends came, he wanted to do his best to be a landlord and pay for his spending, which was very generous.
In Guo Xu's previous life, everyone knew about Zhan Wei's connection during the Heat Period, and some people praised Zhan Pao's "The mountains are edgeless and the sky are together, and only then can they dare to be with the king", in fact, it was Anthony who first made a vow with Zhan Laohan that he would never be separated in this life.
The two have similar backgrounds, they fell in love with each other in high school, and they hit it off at first sight in 2001.
LeBron's emotional intelligence is very high, and it is he who suggested that the three brothers of the class of 03 use Wade's relationship to get to know their predecessors, which is beneficial and harmless.
Guo Xu left phone numbers for the three super rookies in the class of 2003, and everyone is willing to make friends, and they may not be able to cooperate in the future.
Guo Xu is especially optimistic about James, if he can't win the championship in the Cavaliers in 2010, he will definitely consider making a "decision 1", if Guo Xu pulls James to the Suns as a younger brother, it will undoubtedly be easy to win the championship, and they can join forces to win a lot of championships.
He wasn't worried about James's nest, and now he was a symbol of Phoenix.
Several people acted together to attract the attention of the media, in fact, the reporter wanted to see the "Lakers Big Three" interaction, but Kobe Bryant rarely participated in the party, and probably only Vanessa accompanied him......
