Chapter 509 [Down-and-Out Dream Team 6, Marketing Fat Fox]
Entering August, the most discussed by fans is the Olympic "Dream Six Team" of the United States.
Vince Carter withdrew on marriage grounds, and many stars such as Maddy, O'Neal Jr., and Ray Allen also withdrew from the national team on transfer, health and other reasons, and the lineup was completely incomparable to the 2003 American Championship.
Larry Brown, who led the Pistons to be easily swept by the Suns in the Finals, and whose on-court adaptability was repeatedly questioned by the media, turned out to be the head coach of this team.
Fans and the media feel that this matter is unreliable, the training time is already short, find a defensive coach to lead the team, can you practice the iron bucket formation in this time? The Basketball Association did not make substitutions, on the grounds that Brown led the team to win the championship easily in the 2003 American Championships, and he played very well, and if he was kicked out of the Olympics this time, just because the Pistons did not win the championship in the NBA, it would be unkind.
What a humane American Basketball Association, for the sake of proximity, the team will not hesitate to be beaten into a dog on the international stage...... Of course, the officials can't imagine how miserable Brown's trip to the Olympics would become.
Some fans are dissatisfied that Guo Xu was not selected for the "Dream Six Team", and Guo Xu was interviewed by reporters while on vacation in Los Angeles, saying that he did not receive an invitation from the Basketball Association at all, and there were no phone calls or emails.
led the Suns to win the championship, the most popular in the league, and won the regular season MVP for two consecutive years, why Guo Xu, who never got an invitation from the Basketball Association, everyone thinks that there is only one reason - he is Chinese.
The special American Basketball Association is racist, the "Dream Six Team" is composed of a group of old blacks, and there is not a single white person.
The American Basketball Association has failed in the past few years, doing more and more stupid things, short training periods, not inviting players sincerely, etc. That's why Jerry Colangelo wants to be the new manager of the American Basketball Association and contribute to the national team.
This year, terrorists threatened to attack the Olympics, and a group of big-name players were reluctant to go for fear of danger, including Stadamire and Marion, who were supposed to represent the team.
In Guo Xu's previous life, the Suns had a bad regular season record last season, and the two of them had nowhere to go. Now that the Suns have won the championship and only finished playing in mid-June, both want to take a day off.
Looking at the dead morality of the Pistons in the Finals, they all suspect that they will not be able to win glory for their country in Brown's team, and it is more likely to be disgraced like the World Championships.
The biggest news of the "Dream Six" recently is that Steve Marbury announced his withdrawal soon after joining the training camp, on the grounds that he couldn't stand Larry Brown.
"Brown asked us one by one about the purpose of this competition, and James, Anthony, Wade, and Iverson all answered one by one." Marbury said in an interview: "When it was my turn, everyone had already said what I was going to say, so I said, 'Don't forget, guys, have fun playing.'" And Brown was like, 'Oh, look at this guy who says he's playing for fun.'"
Brown's merciless sarcasm and arrogant attitude made Marbury very unhappy, as if he must not be a good player if he said so.
Who didn't start playing basketball for fun? Could it be that someone plays basketball with the goal of becoming an NBA coach and then letting their unpleasant young players stay on the bench?
If the Pistons won the 2004 championship, and the media blew Brown into the sky like Guo Xu in his previous life, Marbury would definitely put up with it.
But the players in this training camp were almost selected by lot, and Brown has been questioned, and Marbury's mentality and ideas are completely different. Like the two Suns players, he also suspected that it was more likely to be a disgrace to Athens with such a wastewood coach.
Marbury chose to find the Basketball Association personnel on the same day and announced that he would withdraw from the training camp, anyway, he didn't sign any contracts on the first day, so everyone got together and got acquainted with each other.
The final Dream Six confirmed twelve lineups are: Duncan, Iverson, LeBron James, Carmelo Anthony, Carlos Boozer, Richard Jefferson, Lamar Odom, Mike Bibby, Ben Wallace, Byron Davis, Okafor, Wade.
After reading the news, Guo Xule was not light, although he couldn't see the performance of Marbury and Iverson in the Olympics, but the team's offense will be worse, and it is estimated that it will be difficult to win medals.
This is also the result of the butterfly effect, no one is optimistic about the Dream Six team winning the championship, they are messy in the warm-up.
Guo Xu did not accept an interview to evaluate this team, and did not mention a word, making it clear that it had nothing to do with him.
In 2006, the Dream Team changed the NCAA "Old K" as a coach before they began to play tactics, although they lost to Greece in the World Championships, but it was because of the lack of a center. In 2008, he played with a center, and the U.S. team never lost again.
Guo Xu's only international competition is the 2008 Beijing Olympics, and he wants to go to the scene to feel the atmosphere, and he is too lazy to go even if the Basketball Association invites him at other times. Now that others don't call him, it makes him feel a lot more comfortable, and he can enjoy a comfortable vacation without looking for a reason.
While entertaining, he will also do some things to brush up his presence, and often steal the limelight in the news.
On August 10, Guo Xu went to Los Angeles' largest "Fat Fox" pizza parlor as a waiter to sell pizza, wearing the clerk's red uniform and a hat with the head of "Ahri".
When ordering, the two young female customers were stunned.
The long-haired girl said, "You look like Jason Guo." ”
"yes, a lot of people say that, so I came here to work, hoping to see him one day." Guo Xu said with a smile.
The short-haired and slightly chubby girl patted her companion and said excitedly: "What is it, you must be Jason, I can hear your voice!" ”
Guo Xu did not deny that he now finds it interesting to experience part-time work life like an ordinary person occasionally. Anyone who recognized him, he would talk a few words, but he would not sign his autograph and let people take pictures.
If he didn't recognize him, Guo Xu concentrated on making pizza to complete the work, and there was a videographer on the side to make a promotional video.
Guo Xu's pizza making is not as professional as a trained person, his movements are much slower, and he has to be guided by someone to help him complete it. But the customers all wanted Guo Xu to do it, and the pizza he made had a different meaning, and some fans were reluctant to eat it, screaming excitedly.
Guo Xu does not act as a spokesperson for other catering brands, and his practice of making catering brands and endorsements has been highly praised by the business community. In just eight months, Fat Fox has opened 22 stores across the United States, and it is very popular everywhere, expanding rapidly, with Denver, Chicago, Port St. Lucie and other places.
With the concept of producing "fast, affordable, and cost-effective", "Fat Fox" has become a new lunch option in addition to burgers, salads and burritos. The sales idea of 3-minute production and self-matching of ingredients meets the needs of American pizza lovers.
Guo Xu's appearance is a good marketing method, other stars are endorsing restaurant chains, KFC, McDonald's, etc., only Guo Xu has made a brand himself, which is very impressive and has attracted a large number of fans.
Megan's parents are very happy, counting the money every day, and the daily turnover of a single pizza shop is a figure they never dared to imagine before. If it weren't for Christie's eating balls, they would be willing to marry Guo Xu even if their two daughters married together.
Guo Xu's arrival to make pizza was just a marketing gimmick, and three days later, he announced the release of a new single in Los Angeles.
He's going to make a big move for "Fat Fox......
