Legend of Tomorrow

Stoudemire and Marion also showed outstanding personal abilities and have fully recovered from their knee injuries.

They took a break for a whole year according to the team doctor's instructions, and carried out step-by-step adaptation training during the holidays. They gradually increased their exercise volume and improved their skills.

Stoudemire has made his mid-range shots more accurate and can open up the space. The coaching staff suggested that he make more mid-range shots and reduce the number of empty cuts and dunks. Marion practiced a low post and turned around to throw. The hit rate was not low, which increased his weapon arsenal.

On the second day of training, Roy showed off his three-point ability again. He was relatively sure of the open spaces on the left and right sides, but not the top and bottom corners of the arc. There is a blind spot in his shooting, but it is enough. Bell, Ariza, Guo Xu, and Thomas can all shoot three-pointers from the bottom corner. He does not have to go there to shoot.

After practicing for a few days, the Suns coaching staff decided to let Roy serve as the starting shooting guard in his rookie season, and Bell would switch to the bench.

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

The Suns' offensive system in the new season is determined to be based on run-and-gun and triangle offense, with Roy, Guo Xu, and Stoudemire as the core. Marion's tactical status is about to decline, and there is nothing he can do if he is unhappy about scoring some possessions.

In his previous life with the Trail Blazers, Roy quickly integrated into the team and became the core outside player. It's just that the overall ball movement of the Trail Blazers is very poor, and the point guard lacks the ability to break points. Roy is responsible for holding the ball most of the time, and his role is not the same.

Roy will be much more relaxed in the Suns. He does not need to hold the ball for a long time to attack. He can run without the ball to catch and shoot. The secondary organization will make a transition and quickly pass the ball to the running Guo Xu. If the opponent double-teams Guo Xu and Stoudemire, Roy will most likely be left open and can easily shoot.

In the preseason, the Suns played with the strongest lineup. The three stars had rested for too long and needed to use the preseason to get used to it.

Guo Xu is lazy on both offense and defense. He rarely plays singles with the ball or runs without the ball. He just plays a pick-and-roll and passes it to his teammates.

He was really too lazy to perform in the preseason and was a little tired when filming. After returning home, he and Megan, who had been seeing each other for a long time due to long-term filming, had sex every night. His physical fitness is top-notch, and ordinary people would not be able to withstand it and would have to be drained.

Guo Xu was lazy, but the Suns still won a winning streak.

Even if the opponent doesn't double-team Guo Xu, they still have to keep an eye on him with someone who is good at defending. When the last defender who can't defend is facing him, he is very efficient in one-on-one situations.

Lowry, who is on the bench, can also launch a fast break, which is so fast that the opponent's rotation lineup cannot withstand it. After Guo Xu came off the field last season, Blake and Payton were unable to advance quickly and launch a counterattack, and their offensive power in the second quarter was average.

Now the Suns have another group of bench gangsters. The five players in the rotation are Lowry, Bell, Ariza, Tim Thomas, and Varejao. Three people can shoot three-pointers from a distance, three people are good at defense, and four people can make fast breaks during counterattacks. In positional battles, Varejao is big and can play pick-and-rolls with Lowry, helping him break away from defenders.

The chemistry of this bench lineup is very good, and the defense in the penalty area and the wings are very solid. When they faced the Kings in the preseason, they beat the Kings starting lineup to nothing.

Anthony Parker and Millsap can also come off the bench to play a dozen games. Ariza is very strong, and Parker is a stable shooting point, and his defensive ability is inferior to Ariza.

When Millsap came on the court, he was better at rebounding and attacking in the low post than Thomas. He could also make mid-range shots, and his open field goal percentage reached 40%, but he didn't take many shots. It would take him several years to develop a consistent shot.

Millsap can only be a marginal player, which shows how extravagant the Suns lineup is. Veterans Wesley and Robinson are not even included in the roster, but sit on the sidelines as mascots waiting to be activated.

When a player is injured, the two veterans will go out to play. They will not be dissatisfied with the lack of playing time. This can better ensure their health until the end. Their physical strength is incomparable to that of young people.

During the preseason, Guo Xu also made news because of his sneaker contract. He rejected lifetime contracts offered by Nike and Adidas and signed a six-year, 140 million contract.

Expires in 2012.

The endorsement fee of more than 20 million a year is sky-high among active NBA players, much higher than James' 90 million over seven years. For Guo Xu, it's normal, because he is recognized as the number one player in the league and has the number one sneaker sales in the league, far exceeding others.

In addition, his number of championships is about to surpass Jordan's. James' potential has not yet been realized. He entered the finals and was beaten.

The two companies have launched a fierce competition, and both want to bet that Guo Xu will surpass Jordan in the future. This is a high probability. Guo Xu already has five championship rings, while Jordan has not even one ring at his age.

Guo Xu did not sign a lifetime contract because he wanted to wait until his personal honor surpassed Jordan's. He will only be 31 years old when the contract expires, which is not very old. If he dominates the NBA, Nike will have to give him shares to retain people.

If they were to change to other players, they would definitely choose to sign for life. They would not expect that the salary cap will increase significantly in the future. Obtaining a life-long contract is a symbol of status and is guaranteed in case of serious injury and decline in condition, just like Tracy McGrady.

Guo Xu mainly plays on the floor and does not worry about serious injury or decline. The money-related thing he focused on was not signing an endorsement contract, but sending someone to negotiate with Li Ka-shing to buy his PRICELINE shares.

It is the company that provides air tickets, hotels, travel, car rental and other services to the world. Guo Xu has held shares for many years. He has been absorbing odd shares for several years and is the fourth largest shareholder of the company. The cost price of the stock is 17.2 yuan, the current stock price is 40 US dollars, and the return rate exceeds 100%.

Li Ka-shing thought he had earned enough capital and wanted to invest in something else, so he sold all his shares in two installments. Guo Xu took half of the shares, bringing the total shares to 35%, making him the company's second largest shareholder.

Since Guo Xu is a person who does not comment on business operations and only pays dividends, the boss of PRICELINE likes to cooperate with him. He is also a major sign of the company and an image spokesperson, allowing more people to understand the company.

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

Guo Xu's net worth now exceeds US$700 million by relying on profits from stock trading and making movies, so he doesn't care much about sneaker endorsement contracts. After acquiring Li Chaoren's shares, Guo Xu doesn't have to do anything. He will become a super rich man with a net worth of tens of billions in the future, relying only on the investment from Apple and PRICELINE.

Guo Xu also invested in the Fat Fox restaurant chain. With the current development momentum, it will be 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, Forbes rankings will not count him among sports stars, but will only be included in the overall list.

In short, he does not make money by playing basketball, it is a hobby, an activity to accumulate popularity.

The Suns won all 7 preseason games and undisputedly led the first official strength rankings.

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

The preseason is the finale of the NBA.

Jason Guo can win even if he plays for a while. If he runs a few more steps, will other teams be able to play?

President David Stern is very helpless. He doesn't know what schedule is suitable for the Suns. No team wants to meet the Suns in the opening game. It will feel like being cheated by the league, which will hurt morale.

After consideration, the opening game was scheduled for the Suns VS Clippers. 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 up, but to be used as cannon fodder.

No one thought there was any suspense in this game. In the playoffs, the Clippers were beaten by the remnant Suns...
