After receiving Stern's call, Guo Xu was in a very good mood.

The league will pay enough attention to it to vigorously promote the musical "Phantom of the Opera" starring him, and there are still two and a half months to go until All-Star Weekend, and the attention must have exploded by then.

Guo Xu knows very well that this All-Star MVP will not be his turn, he has won three awards, and the league cannot let him easily tie Bob Petit on a record, if he plays positively, he will only be replaced soon.

He won the championship of the challenge the next day, he was interested in the slam dunk contest, but the bounce power couldn't go up, he couldn't play new tricks and didn't want to play, and he had to play something else on the weekend to have fun.

The opponent of the Suns in the next game is the Pacers, there is no suspense about the outcome of the game, and everyone in the Suns is very relaxed, like a long week off, and their physical strength has recovered to the best state.

The Pacers' tridents are all suspended, and the rest of them are underpowered and may not make the playoffs this season.

Reggie Miller was interviewed and disappointed that he never expected this to happen just after retiring, and the team fell in a way that should not have been.

It was actually Miller's luck that he played one more Finals and, despite not winning a championship, became a tragic hero that fans will always remember, much better than last season, when he was forced to make the playoffs with the remnants of the Pacers. What's more, Miller dodged the controversy over the Pacers players beating up fans, and was disgusted by the president before retiring.

Guo Xu realized that the trend of the league had changed significantly again, and many teams would be affected.

Artest was suspended in the 2004-05 season, and after returning this season, he was sent to the Kings by the Pacers in exchange for star forward Peja Stojakovic. Later, the Kings traded Artay to the Rockets, and after one season, he joined the Lakers, with whom he won the 2010 championship.

Now that the timing of the battle between the two teams has changed, and the trade may also change, Atay has become a good target to pick up leaks. Now Guo Xu can't be sure where his next stop is, if he joins a strong team, it may affect the pattern of the league.

The Pacers are definitely going to trade Atay, and the impact of this fight is too bad, but he probably has no chance with the Kings. The Kings clearly don't want to keep Peja until next year, and they'll find a way to send him away in the middle of the season, while the Pacers won't be able to put Atay on the shelf until next summer.

After the morning training, Suns boss Brian Colangelo called Guo Xu and D'Antoni to the manager's office and told him one of his thoughts.

"I want to offer a trade with the Pacers next summer to trade Josh Howard Ariza for Trevor Ariza in exchange for Artest, do you think it's going to work?"

Bryan has always wanted to make the Suns stronger and make sure they win the championship. After Marion's injury, he wanted to trade for a star to assist Guo Xu to help the Suns defend their title this season. As soon as something happened to the Pacers, he started to think about trading again.

Now Howard grabbed the opportunity to make a shot, and his desire for more balls was Sima Guang's vat, which is well known to passers-by.

As the team's current second-leading scorer, Howard's role is crucial. The embarrassing thing is that next season he is in a contract year, and the Suns' current situation is not good to renew his contract with a high salary, and there are already three top-paid players on the team.

If Artai is recruited into the lineup, then the Suns will be too stable to win the championship next season, and the team's defense will become very scary. The only hidden danger is that Atai is a thorn, and now the character has collapsed.

D'Antoni thinks it's feasible, Ariza is 203cm tall, suitable for the development of the No. 3 and No. 4 positions, and it is a bit high to play the No. 2 position. Atay looks like a good addition, with a small contract, low salary and high energy, which only expires in 2009.

If Atai wants a high salary in 2009, the Suns will not renew his contract, and the wing strength will be super strong in the next three years.

Guo Xu vetoed it. "We have Sean [Marion] here, we don't need Artest, the two of them overlap positions, if we go to Sean together, we have to play the number 4 position, and the defense is not much stronger. Artest is not easy to score when the ball comes, he has been selected as an All-Star twice, and he may not want to be a blue-collar worker, but we don't need him to attack. ”

Guo Xu resolutely doesn't want Atai, he is very famous, and if he can't play the data, it will seem that he is a teammate. He doesn't want any of the players who are famous, and if he wants to find a swingman to replace Howard, he prefers to pick an all-around rookie with potential.

With Xiao Si and Marion coming back next season, the lineup on the Suns' cards will be very scary, so what's the point of adding an All-Star? Let people question that the Big Four are huddled? David Stern is in charge, and maybe he will call off the deal for "basketball reasons".

Brian smiled: "Jason, you really helped me save money, you said don't want it, will Josh stay next summer?" ”

With Guo Xu here, the Suns will definitely not sign a high-salary long-term contract with Howard, even if his strength improves year by year, signing him will not have any good results. Guo Xu and Howard don't talk much, just look at this person's enjoyable character, plus he likes to make fox friends and dog friends, he is definitely the kind of person who becomes bad as soon as he has money.

Guo Xu shook his head. "No, he wants more balls, he wants a big contract, send him to a bad team as the boss, everyone is happy. We'll talk about it after the season, and it's too early to talk about it, so I'd suggest switching back to the right rookie development. ”

"Okay. Listen to you. Brian laughed.

He believes 100% in Guo Xu's vision, and there are no rookies that Guo Xu proposes to draft that he can't play yet, and they are all people who are suitable for the Suns system. Since he was able to pick Howard to replace Joe Johnson with a low pick, it's normal to pick a good replacement.

On the 30th, the Suns played against the Pacers at home, Guo Xu wanted to score a high score and beat the Reservoir Dogs, but unfortunately he couldn't do so, and the Suns won by 38 points 109-71.

The Pacers' lineup is so bad that the Suns can't release water, starting Eddie Gill, David Harrison, Jasco Hughes, these people don't know their names unless they are fans who know the NBA very well. Krohill is a bit of a celebrity, a high-paid imbecile player with a serious decline in form.

Guo Xu only played 27 minutes before clocking out early, scoring only 30 points, 8 rebounds and 6 assists. He played 27 minutes to seal the win at halftime, and he played nine minutes in the third quarter to score 30 points.

The Pacers even let Guo Xu grab 8 rebounds, which shows how rotten it is, no matter how relaxed the defense is, they shoot mostly with iron.

After the game, Guo Xu made big news, not because of beating the Pacers to win four in a row, but because he announced that he was going to perform "Phantom of the Opera" at Star Weekend.

"Yes, you heard it right, no kidding, I'm going to have a concert at Star Weekend and play the lead character, Phantom. From now on, I will take some time to practice songs, rehearsals, and strive to give a classic performance for everyone. ”

In the venue, the reporters collectively froze for a few seconds.

A local acquaintance reporter asked: "Aren't you afraid of affecting your playing state by doing this?" The Suns are in a good record and situation right now, don't you want to get even better? ”

"I don't miss the team's training sessions, I only practice in my spare time, and I promise it won't affect my form. Singing is a good exercise for me, a good exercise. ”

All the reporters didn't know what to ask, and the scene was very embarrassing for a while.

Qi training? Isn't it time for you to practice Qigong Wave next?

Obviously, no one thought he could play something as high as a musical...... ()
