Chapter 242

The 15 player lineup of the Lakers is determined in the new season, and there is no need to find players to play pre-season.

Center: Shaquille O'Neal, Gerani McCoy.

Power forwards: Mark Madsen, samaki walker, Robert holly, medvedenko.

Small forward: Rick fox, Jim Jackson, Ryan Bowen, Devon George.

Point guards: Kobe, Mickey Richmond, Brian Shaw.

Point guard: Guo Xu and Fisher.

After looking at the lineup, Guo Xu felt that the suspense of the new season for the Lakers is not whether they can defend the championship, but whether they can create a new regular season record.

Veteran Horace grant moves slowly and is more like a center than a power forward. The Lakers didn't renew his contract with him. In the end, Grant's annual salary returned to magic.

The new samarki is more suitable for the team system. He is a blue collar with strong athletic ability, can prevent pick and roll, can grab rebounds, and can pick up leaks under the basket at the offensive end, which is enough. The Lakers don't need him to attack at all.

Rockman position reinforcement more powerful, Jim - Jackson no matter plays the starting line or the substitute can help the team, he catches the ball to shoot accurately.

O'Neill and Guo Xu chat, also feel that their biggest enemy next season is rubbish time, three person data may not be too beautiful, because it is too easy to win.

Even so, Guo Xu contacted cannon beck and practiced with him for two weeks to prepare for the new season.

In the cycle of time, Guo Xu owes Jianong a favor. In reality, he has to find a way to pay it back.

It's impossible to give money directly. After hearing Guo Xu say that he wants to learn technology with himself, he feels that his level is too far away. The same trick is that Guo Xu makes it more powerful than he is.

Guo Xu's idea is that after training with cannon for a period of time, he should be mentioned in an interview, and he should be held up to give him enough fame. More big players will come to him for training. Even without Guo Xu, Canon would be famous in the future, but he could advance this time a lot.

In September, Guo Xu signed with Nike for 40 million yuan in five years, with an average endorsement fee of 8 million yuan a year.

In the finals, Guo Xu's status rose to a terrible level. Several major sports brands competed for him, and the endorsement fee of 500 million years was the beginning.

At first, Reebok offered the highest price. Before the finals, they offered an annual salary of 8 million, about 7 years old. In 1996, Iverson and Reebok signed a 10-year contract worth $50 million, which will not expire until 2006.

Guo Xu can explode Iverson after signing, but he refused without even frowning. The price is too low and the service life is too long. He is a reborn and knows how fast the future shoe endorsement contract is going up. James signed a seven-year 93 million contract with Nike as soon as he entered the league in 2003.

After Guo Xu refused, Reebok was under great pressure. If he didn't win him, when Guo Xu signed another company, Reebok suspected that his shoes would directly affect the sales of Iverson's shoes. Both of them were short control guards. After the finals, Guo Xu's popularity was vaguely higher than Iverson's.

After going to China, Guo Xu's popularity rose again, which made all the major brands see his position in China. After returning, several companies started to compete and raised their prices one after another.

Reebok mentioned 10 million at the highest, signed for seven years, because they only have Iverson, a star who can take the ball, and is most affected. ADI and Nike both offered 8 million yuan. Harpy negotiated with the other party for more than half a year. Finally, he limited the year to five years and chose Nike decisively.

In fact, Guo Xu identified Nike from the beginning. When he played the game, the three major brands of shoes were worn in turn to make them feel that they had the opportunity to sign a contract, so that they could compete.

In 2001, Guo Xu's contract was already very big. When Kobe Bryant first entered the league, he signed a endorsement contract with adidas for 5 years and 10 million yuan, which expired in the summer of 2002.

Harpy has always refused to let Guo Xu sign shoes for endorsement, because it is very difficult to sign a short contract. A signing is a long one. He has no fame in the League when he just entered the league, and his price is not high. If he becomes famous quickly, he will lose a lot.

Iverson, Kobe and Carter all have higher commercial value, and they are trapped by big companies as soon as they come out. Kobe was selected as an all star the next year. If he signed one year late, how could he have only 2 million endorsements?

Carter was even more retarded. In 1998, he signed a 10-year $50 million endorsement contract with puma, who was not professional in basketball shoes. After only two seasons of cooperation, he parted ways. Puma also withdrew from the basketball market in 2001.

Guo Xu's contract expires in 2006, and he believes he will be stronger than he is now, not afraid that Nike will not offer a bigger contract. Nike only signed 5 years is accurate, Guo Xu will not be able to renew his contract with the Lakers next year. For fear that he will decline after he leaves the Lakers, both sides are careful to reach a win-win situation.

As for Adidas, how much money Guo Xu does not consider, he is afraid of the curse. Previous Adidas signed stars, the state of the decline speed is very terrible. In fact, in Guo Xu's previous life, the three top and most powder sucking people in NBA history had a close relationship with ADI, and they all missed it.ADI gave up Jordan for such ridiculous reasons as his height; in 2003, they were robbed of James by Nike in order to save $3 million a year; as soon as the Eagle County incident happened, ADI and Kobe terminated the 6-year 48 million contract.

After signing the contract with Nike, Guo Xu did not disclose the specific amount, but everyone guessed that he made a big fortune. However, he still hasn't bought a house or rented an apartment in Los Angeles, so there are more and more reports that he will leave the Lakers in 2002.

At the end of September, the new season training camp opened.

In an interview on media day, Guo Xu was asked whether he would like to stay with the Lakers in the summer of 2002.

Guo Xu replied, "is it still necessary to ask? Of course I'd like to stay. I've always been for the Lakers in the draft, and I hope to stay in Los Angeles for the rest of my life

Guo Xudun for a moment, then said: "I have read the news recently, and I know it's very difficult for the Lakers to renew their contract. From the management point of view, they must consider salary space and other issues. I said it doesn't count. It's useless to think too much. I'll settle down to play this season and leave the rest to fate

What he said is from the heart. He likes Los Angeles and is lucky to play in the Lakers all his life, but he doesn't believe that bass will trade Kobe for him, even if his finals data are better than Kobe.

The reason is very simple. Guo Xu's height is only 180cm. Even after the summer, he found himself growing 2cm. Now he has 182cm in shoes. His height is still at a disadvantage. He is essentially different from Kobe, so he can't achieve balance between attack and defense.

"Are you confident of playing better in the new season?" the reporter asked

Guo Xu said with a smile: "of course, I trained specially in the summer. Ganonbeck is an excellent trainer. I have learned some new skills from him, and I am fully ready."

The next day's open training class, Guo Xu proved this point, he led fisher to play, outside can hit three points, and the new teammates are very tacit understanding.

New teammates don't have to take on too many tasks, stand still and wait for the star to attract defensive points, catch and shoot. Jim Jackson has become the biggest surprise of the Lakers. He is especially accurate in catching and shooting from the outside, and his three points are much better than fox.

"Zen master" tried several sets of tactics, no matter triangle attack, pick and roll attack, fast counterattack, the players can play very smooth, the fans on the scene cried out, waiting for the regular season performance of the Lakers.
