Legend of Tomorrow

Chapter 534 [Focus on everyone, alternative culture]

During the All-Star Weekend in Denver, Guo Xu originally wanted to make a splash, but his agent Happy Waters suggested that he participate in more activities, so that the next sneaker contract with Nike would be easier to negotiate and the price would be higher.

Guo Xu chose to participate in the three-point contest, which was relatively easy. His competitors were Peja Stojakovic, Korver, teammate Joe Johnson and others.

There was a butterfly effect in this year's three-point contest. Quentin Richardson, who was supposed to win the championship, did not participate. He joined the Jazz last summer and did not take many three-pointers. Under Sloan's coaching, he played more steadily than in the past. He used his strong body more to create opportunities for mid-range shots.

During the annual Star Weekend, when the top stars from each team perform on the court, it is not just the basketball that dazzles, but also the sneakers on their feet. The arena is also a silent battlefield for sneaker manufacturers. Many sports brands have prepared the most dazzling equipment for their superstars.

Many fans will closely follow the feet of the stars to grasp the trend of the trend. This is a huge moment when people are focusing on sneakers, said Klaus, a spokesman for Nike. He wasn't exaggerating.

Guo Xu's newly launched Jason4 is a product carefully designed by Nike. It still follows a light route to facilitate players' acceleration. The total weight of the sneakers is only 11.7 ounces, with a low-top design and gold as the main color, like the color of a championship.

The Jason series has become the most popular iconic basketball shoe series in the league. Many fans began to collect every basketball shoe made by Guo Xu, just like they collected Jordan shoes back then. Some are fans, while others are betting that he will achieve better results in the future. The sneakers may seem expensive, but in fact, if you buy them as collectibles, they will increase in value in the future.

In Guo Xu's previous life, Jordan, who has retired for many years, still has an astonishing influence in the basketball field. By 2018, he can earn US$110 million every year just from his share of Jordan brand sneakers with Nike.

With Guo Xu's current speed of launching one sneaker a year, Nike will definitely not treat him badly when he retires. A lifetime contract is certain. This is the future trend of cooperation.

In 2002, Adidas signed a lifetime contract with Tracy McGrady. Now McGrady is also the only person in Adidas who can compare with Guo Xu in terms of sneaker sales. This season, he performed a miracle of 35 seconds and 13 minutes, leading the Rockets to reverse the Spurs at the last moment.

This kind of thing seemed destined to happen to McGrady, and God was moved to tears again. The release point of his pull-up shot is too high, and it is almost impossible to block the shot. He throws it in front of people and struggles with touch. In NBA history, there are very few people who can use pull-up shots as a trick to attack opponents like him.

Megan Fox did not accompany Guo Xu to attend the All-Star Weekend. Her mother Darrence was ill and hospitalized and went to Los Angeles to accompany her.

Guo Xu is not alone.

Many teammates came to participate in the Star Weekend. In addition, he could also play with Big Shark O'Neal.

Phoenix is ​​not far from Denver. Guo Xu and others checked into the hotel on Thursday afternoon. O'Neal arrived two hours late. After checking in, he immediately took Wade to knock on Guo Xu's door.

The birth of any combination will usher in a honeymoon period at the beginning, and the same is true for the partnership of O'Neal and Wade. When he joined the Heat, he stated in front of the media that he was assisting Wade, and the two had a very good relationship.

After chatting for a while, Wade felt like he was bathed in spring breeze by Guo Xu's familiar personality. He quickly became familiar with Guo Xu and thought that Guo Xu was a friend worth making friends with.

Although Wade was robbed of his nickname and can only be called Cheek Man now, he doesn't know it. What Guo Xu said was what he liked to hear, and he even gave him some suggestions on the court.

He and Wade are very familiar with each other in the time loop. He knows what Wade does training and what goals he has. He also knows that Wade is on Pat Riley's side now and cannot say anything bad about the divine fortune teller.

Shaquille, I think you've lost a lot of weight. Guo Xu discovered today that O'Neal was not so round when he was sitting.

The training volume has increased. I feel that I am better than when I was with the Lakers. If we meet in the finals this year, we may not lose to the Suns. O'Neal flashed his biceps.

Then we agreed to see you in the finals this year. Don't miss it. Guo Xu said with a smile.

If the two teams really met in the finals, it would be a very good stunt, and the ratings would definitely be much higher than when the Suns faced off against the Pistons and Pacers. The Heat did have a chance to make it to the finals. In their previous life, they lost to the Pistons because of Wade's injury.

Guo Xu can see that O'Neal and Riley are also in the honeymoon period now, because he hopes to remain competitive, perform at a star level, and slap the Lakers management and Kobe in the face.

The Heat are simply a weight loss center. Riley is very serious about the body fat content project, requiring that each guard on the team can only have 6% fat content, the forward is 7% to 8%, and the center is 10%.

Under Riley's devilish training, not only the two power forwards Baxter and Feizer successfully lost weight, but even O'Neal, a fat forward, had an effect.

When O'Neal joined the Heat, he wanted to win the championship and was very motivated. He is very smart and knows that if he doesn't work hard in the past few years, he will have no chance and will only regret it in the future. As he gets older, his athletic ability and physical strength will become worse and worse.

During the physical examination, 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 persisted in doing his seemingly boring weight loss training and basic skills exercises in order to win the championship. Riley has indeed brought O'Neal back to his peak. Although it was a result of overdrafting his body, he is indeed a star who can compete for MVP this year.

Therefore, although in the previous life from Magic to Shark, from Wade to James, the stars and Riley ended in a falling out, but after the passage of time, they also understood that this was the way to success for Riley.

If weight loss can become a team culture, the Heat are second to none. The Heat's success in many undrafted games relies not only on their own unremitting efforts, but also on the team's bottom-up tradition of hard work. Many players with average qualifications have made a name for themselves in the Heat, including Bruce Bowen, Udonis Haslem, Whiteside, Tyler Johnson, etc.

The stars arrived one after another. In the evening, eight stars gathered together for dinner. LeBron James and Carmelo Anthony also joined. The restaurant was recommended by Anthony.

Anthony was not selected for the All-Star Game in his home stadium and only represented the sophomores in the Rookie Challenge. However, when friends came, he would do his best to be a landlord and pay for the expenses, which was very generous.

In Guo Xu's previous life, everyone knew about the James-Williams connection during the Heat era, and some people praised Zhan Pao's saying, Only when the mountains and the earth are in harmony can I dare to be with you. In fact, it was the first person who made an oath to never be separated from Old Man James in this life. Anthony.

The two have similar backgrounds. They cherished each other in high school and hit it off in 2001.

LeBron has a very high emotional intelligence. It was he who suggested that the three brothers of the 2003 class use Wade's relationship to get to know their seniors, which would be beneficial and harmless.

Guo Xu left phone numbers for the three super rookies from the 2003 class. They were all willing to make friends and might not be able to cooperate in the future.

Guo Xu is particularly optimistic about James. If he fails to win the championship with the Cavaliers by 2010, he will definitely consider making Decision 1. If Guo Xu draws James to the Suns as his younger brother, winning the championship will undoubtedly become easy. We can win many championships together.

He doesn't worry about James being the magpie's nest, and now he is already a symbol of the Phoenix City.

The action of several people together attracted the attention of the media. In fact, the reporter wanted to see the interaction between the Big Three of the Lakers, but Kobe rarely attended gatherings, and Vanessa was probably the only one accompanying him...
