Chapter 122: [New endorsement, disgusting]

On November 24, the Lakers beat the Warriors 117 to 91 at home.
Last season, the Lakers won 67 in the regular season. The second team's attack power increased this season. They are more abusive. They are basically one-sided against teams outside the playoffs.
It is easy for the team to win, and the garbage time will be entered in the last quarter. The cores can "punch off work" in advance, thereby reducing the chance of fatigue and injury, forming a virtuous circle. The victory has been decided, even if Phil Jackson, who likes to use the main force, can only replace the core to rest.
Bryant's advantage against Larry Hughes is obvious, playing 13 of 19 shots in 30 minutes, 2 of 3 3-pointers, 3 of 4 free throws, 31 points, 4 rebounds and 7 assists.
O'Neal played 31 minutes, 7 of 11 shots, 1 of 4 free throws, 15 points, 14 rebounds, 6 assists and 6 blocks.
Even if Austrian Fat scored not much, he blew the external lips of the Warriors center Eric Dampier, and the inner heart, liver, spleen and lungs all hurt. Dampier played 26 minutes, 1 of 9 shots, 4 points, 3 rebounds, 2 assists and 4 fouls. In one round, he was attacked by O'Neill in the low post and even forgot his hat.
The future "Western Second Center" is currently only a low-key blue-collar, facing O'Neal even dare not breathe.
Partnering with the star is a very enjoyable thing, sometimes just watching them perform, Guo Xu returned to the bench, led the teammates in the second quarter, responsible for the main attack.
He also has the advantage of flexibility against the Warriors point guard Bob Sula, playing 25 minutes, 5 of 8 shots, 3 of 5 3-pointers, 3 of 4 free throws, scoring 16 points, 2 rebounds and 3 assists.
On November 27, the Lakers took away the Clippers by 14 points away.
This is a slow-paced position battle. Guo Xu only played 24 minutes. He fell into foul trouble and hit a low percentage. He made 3 of 10 shots, 1 of 5 three-pointers, and 2 of 2 free throws.
And Guo Xu played against 193CM combo guard Jeff McGinnis, with 20 points, 4 rebounds and 5 assists.
With one thing down, Guo Xu can take advantage of several star guards, and will also lose money on ordinary combo guards. Harper is more suitable to deal with McGinnis, this time "weak team Jordan" was injured.
On the 28th, back to back against the Pacers, the "OK combination" was as strong as ever. Guo Xu also recovered his bravery. He played 35 minutes, 8 of 13 shots, 4 of 6 three-pointers, 1 of 2 free throws and scored 21 points 6 Rebounds 5 assists 1 steals.
Facing the Pacers starting point guard, 180cm tall Travis-Best, Guo Xu steadily prevailed, the latter had only 8 points and 6 assists.
Guo Xu's luck is very good, six rebounds in a single game is a career high, all picked.
After the game, Guo Xu also received good news. Hapi negotiated another commercial endorsement, waiting for him to return to Los Angeles to sign the contract.
As the season deepens, Guo Xu's value is getting higher and higher. Hapi has guessed this for a long time, and it has been delayed until the start of the All-Star voting this season.
The new endorsement is Coca-Cola's "Sports Drink Powerade". After the negotiations, the merchants were willing to pay 3 million US dollars to seek Guo Xu's endorsement for two years. He just had to drink the drinks provided by the merchants on the sidelines and shoot two commercials.
This price is very fair, Guo Xu is not an All-Star, it is impossible to endorse Sprite as high as Kobe. He only signed short-term contracts, and the price can be increased after two years of follow-up contracts.
The main components of powerade are sugar, various electrolytes and antioxidants, which can supplement the nutrients lost during exercise, maintain and improve exercise capacity, and accelerate the elimination of fatigue after exercise. There are many flavors such as tropical fruit flavor and lemon grapefruit flavor. Guo Xu has tasted it and feels good. Even if he doesn't like to drink, he will not give up the opportunity of endorsement, he has no hatred for money.
Guo Xu eats meat, and Happi also develops soup. He can get a 12% bonus from commercial endorsements, and hundreds of thousands of dollars a year will be credited. If Guo Xu will be selected as an All-Star in the future, his annual salary of one million is not a dream. .
This season Guo Xu has the opportunity to be selected as an All-Star, and has been reported by many media for this reason.
In the first week of the All-Star voting results, Guo Xu ranked third in the Western Guards selection of the leading Kings, Jason Williams, supersonic Gary Payton, Rockets Steve Francis, third only to teammates Kobe and Sun Core Kidd.
In Guo Xu's previous life, the Bucks' Brandon Jennings had no such high popularity in scoring 55 points in the rookie season. The division star was not voted into the top ten guards. This is the difference between playing in Milwaukee and Los Angeles.
Guo Xu's exposure rate is too high, and basketball fans around the world basically know that there is such a person. Fans like to watch the story of hanging wire counterattack, the last rookie's strong rise everyone likes to hear, and the development of the Chinese network is slower than that of the United States. Chinese fans do not participate in NBA voting very much.
People are afraid of being famous and afraid of being strong. Guo Xu's fame is too fast and too easy to arouse some people's resentment, including opponents in the next game, supersonic star point guard Gary Payton.
1997 and 98 season Peyton was the Western Conference All-Star starter, last season, popularity was only ranked third in the Western Guards, and only 10,000 votes more than Jason Williams.
The number of votes in the first week of the season Peyton is much less than Guo Xu. Even Williams, who averaged less than 10 points per game this season, is not as popular, ranking only fifth in the western guard.
Why are these two young men who are obviously not as good as him in front? Payton couldn't bear it. He felt like he was about to explode. He was clearly still at the peak. In the past two seasons, he played the best career data. Why is there no one to pay attention to?
As we all know, Payton is a person with strong self-esteem, and he is indeed powerful. Kidd and Kobe are his younger brothers ~ EbookFREE.me ~ Kidd is a little brother Payton knew in Oakland. When they were young, they were together. Playing streetball, the two have similar styles. Kidd learns a lot from Payton. Kobe asked Peyton for defense. At first, Payton refused, and then he was agreed by Bryant.
The brutal reality gave Payton a slap in the face. Even if he had the most beautiful stats, averaging 23 points, 4.6 rebounds, 8 assists and 1.6 steals, the two were more famous than him.
Of course, it is common for Payton to be beaten because he has a big mouth that can't be blocked. In a preseason game in 1990, he had just entered the supersonics' rookie rookie, and he dared to despise Jordan, who had won the scoring three times in a row.
Said confidently at the time: "I don't care who Michael Jordan is, okay, he played very well, but he hasn't reached the level that can't be prevented."?
That preseason Peyton scored 19 points, and Jordan sat more off the court. When Payton scored, he ran next to Jordan and stared at it for a few moments, when he felt like he was invincible.
After this, in the first regular season game between the Bulls and the Supersonics, Jordan refused to shake hands with Payton and said aloud: "Leave this rookie to me."? Payton didn't play much time and fell into foul trouble. The coach replaced him and hardly played again. After playing for about seven or eight minutes without scoring, Jordan scored 33 points.
At the end of the game, Jordan walked to the supersonic bench and looked at Payton. "Is this what you played in the preseason? Welcome to the NBA, lad." The Bulls won 116 to 95 game.
At this time, the old ball roar Peyton planned to abuse Guo Xu in the next game to let him know who is the star and also said to him "Welcome to the NBA, boy."
