Chapter 722 [Super Lineup, Super Rich]

Stoudamire and Marion have also shown excellent individual ability and have fully recovered from their knee injuries.

They rested for a whole year under the advice of the team doctor, and carried out gradual adaptation training during the holidays, increasing the amount of exercise little by little, and improving their skills.

Xiao Si practiced his mid-range shooting more accurately and could open up space, and the coaching staff suggested that he make more mid-range shots and reduce air-cut dunks. Marion practiced a low-post back-to-back play and turned to throw, with a good hit rate and increased his arsenal.

On the second day of training, Roy showed his three-point ability again, and the left and right sides were more secure, but the top of the arc and the bottom corner were not good. His shooting has a blind spot but it is enough, the bottom corner three-point Bell, Ariza, Guo Xu, Thomas can all shoot, he doesn't have to go there to shoot.

After a few days of practice, the Suns coaching staff decided to make Roy the starting point guard in his rookie season, and Bell switched to the bench.

The defense will be a little worse, but Roy and Guo Xu's offense is simply unstoppable, and they will definitely be able to create singles opportunities for the opponent, just like the Bulls' Pippen and Jordan combination back then, both of them can play alone and assist their teammates.

The offensive system of the Suns in the new season is determined to be dominated by running and shooting and triangle offense, with Roy, Guo Xu, and Xiao Si as the core. Marion's tactical status is going to drop, and he can't help it if he scores some possession.

Roy quickly integrated into the team in his previous life with the Trail Blazers and became the core of the perimeter. It's just that the overall ball operation of the Trail Blazers is very poor, the point guard lacks the ability to break through, and Roy is responsible for holding the ball most of the time, and the role is different.

Roy will be much easier in the Suns, he doesn't have to hold the ball for a long time to attack, he can run without the ball, catch the ball and shoot, and organize the second time to do a transfer to quickly pass the ball to Guo Xu who is running. If the opponent wraps Guo Xu and Xiao Si, Roy will be the target of the empty and can shoot easily.

In the preseason, the Suns played the strongest lineup, and the three stars had rested for too long, so they had to use the preseason to run in.

Guo Xu is lazy at both ends of the offensive and defensive ends, rarely runs alone with the ball or without the ball, and passes to his teammates with a random block.

He was really too lazy to play in the preseason, and he was a little tired when he was filming, and after returning home, he and Megan, who had met for a long time because of long-term filming, sang songs every night. His physical fitness is top-notch, and he can't stand it at all, so he has to be squeezed dry.

Guo Xu was lazy, and the sun still won a streak.

Even if the opponent does not contain Guo Xu, he must use a well-defended person to keep an eye on him, and the last defender who can't defend is in a position with him, and he is very efficient in heads-up.

Lowry, who came off the bench, can also launch a fast attack, and the speed is fast, and the opponent's rotation lineup cannot withstand it. After Guo Xu left the court last season, Blake and Payton were unable to quickly advance and launch a counterattack, and their attack power was average in the second quarter.

Now the Suns have another group of bench bandits, and the rotation five are Lowry, Bale, Ariza, Tim Thomas, and Vallejo. Three people can pull up and shoot three-pointers, three people are good at defense, four people can play fast offense when counterattacking, and Vallejo can also play blocking and dismantling with Lowry in positional battles, helping him break through from guards.

The chemistry of the bench was excellent, with solid box and wing defense, and the Kings started in the preseason against the Kings.

Anthony Parker and Millsap can also come off the bench to play a dozen, and when Ariza is iron, Upper Parker is a consistent shooting point and is inferior to Ariza defensively.

Millsap came on the court, fighting for rebounds and attacking in the low post better than Thomas, and he was also able to shoot from the field, hitting 40% from the open position, but not taking many shots. To develop consistent shooting, he'll have to practice for a few years.

Millsap can only be a marginal person, which shows how extravagant the Suns lineup is, veterans Wesley and Robinson are not even in the squad, sitting on the sidelines as mascots waiting to be activated.

When a player is injured, two veterans will only play a dozen, and they will not be dissatisfied with the lack of playing time, which can ensure that they are healthy until the end, and their physical strength cannot be compared with that of young people.

During the preseason, Guo Xu was also in the news because of the sneaker contract, he rejected the lifetime contracts opened by Nike and Adidas, and signed a 6-year contract of 140 million, which expired in 2012.

More than 20 million a year is a sky-high price among active NBA players, much higher than James's 7-year 90 million. For Guo Xu, it is normal, because he is recognized as the first person in the league, and the first in the league in sneaker sales, far surpassing others.

In addition, he is about to surpass Jordan in the number of championships, and James's potential has not yet been realized, and he has reached the Finals and was beaten.

The two companies have launched a fierce competition, and they both want to bet on Guo Xu to surpass Jordan in the future, which is a high probability, Guo Xu already has five championship rings, and Jordan has no rings at his age.

Guo Xu did not sign a lifetime contract, because he wanted to wait for his personal honor to surpass Jordan, he was only 31 years old when the contract expired, and he was not very old, if he ruled the NBA, Nike would have to give him shares to keep people.

If other players would definitely choose to sign for life, they would not have thought that the salary cap would rise sharply in the future, and getting a lifetime contract is a status symbol, and it is guaranteed in case of a serious injury, just like Maddie.

Guo Xu is mainly based on floor flow play, and he is not worried about serious injury or slippage. HIS CONCERN ABOUT MONEY WAS NOT TO SIGN AN ENDORSEMENT CONTRACT, BUT TO SEND SOMEONE TO NEGOTIATE WITH LI KA-SHING TO BUY HIS PRICELINE SHARES.

It is the company that provides air tickets, hotels, travel, car rentals and other services to the world, and Guo Xu has held shares for many years. He has been absorbing scattered shares for several years, and is the fourth largest shareholder of the company, with a cost price of 17.2 yuan and a current stock price of $40, with a return of more than 100%.

Li Ka-shing thought that he had made enough money and wanted to invest in something else, so he sold all the shares in two installments, and Guo Xu ate half of the shares, reaching 35% of the total shares, and became the second largest shareholder of the company.

SINCE GUO XU IS A PERSON WHO DOES NOT DICTATE TO THE OPERATION AND ONLY CARES ABOUT DIVIDENDS, THE BOSS OF PRICELINE LIKES TO COOPERATE WITH HIM, AND HE IS ALSO A MAJOR SIGNBOARD OF THE COMPANY, THE IMAGE SPOKESPERSON, SO THAT MORE PEOPLE CAN UNDERSTAND THE COMPANY.

Li Ka-shing sold early, and the company will officially enter the rising period next, in Guo Xu's previous life, the stock price was as high as 1,400 yuan per share in 2014.

Guo Xu relies on stock trading income and making movies, and now his net worth has exceeded 700 million US dollars, so he doesn't care much about sneaker endorsement contracts. AFTER ACQUIRING LI SUPERMAN'S SHARES, GUO XU DOESN'T HAVE TO DO ANYTHING, ONLY RELYING ON THE INVESTMENT OF APPLE AND PRICELINE, HE WILL BE A SUPER-RICH MAN WITH A NET WORTH OF TENS OF BILLIONS IN THE FUTURE.

Guo Xu also invested in the "Fat Fox" restaurant chain, and with the current development momentum, it is only a matter of time before it goes public. Now there is an economic team to help Guo Xu settle accounts and avoid taxes reasonably. In the future, the Forbes list will not count him among sports stars, but on the overall list.

In short, he doesn't make money by playing, it's a hobby, an activity that accumulates popularity.

The Suns won all 7 games in the preseason and led the first official power list without dispute.

Online fans commented: "It doesn't matter who is second in the power list, they can't compete for the first place anyway." ”

"The preseason is the NBA finale."

"Jason Guo can win if he fights for a while, if he runs a few more steps, other teams will have to play?"

President David Stern is very helpless, he doesn't know what schedule is appropriate for the Suns, and all teams will not want to meet the Suns in the opener, and there will be a feeling of being pitted by the league, which is very demoralizing.

After considering the opening game, the Suns vs. Clippers were scheduled, and the two teams met in the second round of the playoffs last year. This is not to help the Clippers increase their commercial value and give them a chance to show their faces, but to launch it as cannon fodder.

No one thought there was a suspense in this game, and the Clippers were beaten by the remnants of the Suns in the playoffs......
