After receiving Stern's call, Guo Xu became very happy.

If the league attaches enough importance to it, it will definitely promote the musical "Phantom of the Opera" starring him. It will take two and a half months to reach the All-Star Weekend, and the attention will definitely explode at that time.

Guo Xu knew very well that this All-Star MVP was not his turn. He had won three awards, and the league could not easily tie Bob Pettit to record. If he played actively, he would only be replaced soon.

He won all the champions of the challenge the next day. He was interested in the slam dunk contest but his jumping power could not be increased. He couldn't play new tricks and didn't want to go there. He had to play something else on the weekend to enjoy it.

The Suns' opponent is Pacers, and there is no suspense in the outcome. The Suns are relaxed, as if they had a long holiday, and their physical strength has returned to their best condition.

The Pacers' Tridents have been suspended, and the rest are not strong enough and may not be able to make the playoffs this season.

Reggie Miller was interviewed and said disappointedly that he never expected that this happened when he retired, and the team fell into depravity in an unstoppable way.

This is actually Miller's luck. He played in the Finals once more. Although he failed to win the championship, he became a tragic hero that fans will always remember. It is much better than being forced to take the Pacers to the playoffs last season with the Pacers. More importantly, Miller avoided the controversy of Pacers players beating fans and was disgusted by the president when he was not retiring.

Guo Xu realized that the league's trend has once again undergone a major change, and many teams will be affected.

Artest was suspended in the 2004-05 season. After his comeback this season, he was sent to the Kings by the Pacers in exchange for star forward Peja Stoyakovic. Later, the Kings traded Arte to the Rockets. After playing for a season, he joined the Lakers and won the 2010 championship with the Lakers.

Now the time for the two teams to fight has changed, and the transaction may also change. Atai has become a good target for bargaining. Now Guo Xu is not sure where he will be next. If he joins a strong team, it may affect the situation of the league.

The Pacers must have traded Atai. The impact of this fight was too bad, but he probably missed the King. The King obviously didn't want to leave Peja until next year. They will find a way to send him away in the middle of this season, and the Pacers will not put Atai on the shelves next summer.

After the morning training, Suns boss Brian Colangelo called Guo Xu and D'Antoni to the manager's office and told him what he thought.

"I want to propose a deal with the Pacers next summer and use Josh Howard to pack Trevo Ariza for Artest. Do you think it's feasible?"

Brian has always wanted to make the Suns lineup stronger and ensure that he won the championship. After Marion was injured, he wanted to trade in exchange for a star assisting Guo Xu to help the Suns defend their title this season. When something happened to the Pacers, he started to trade again.

Now Howard seizes the opportunity and rushes to take action. The idea of ​​wanting more ball rights is Sima Guangzhizhuan, which is known to everyone.

As the team's second scoring point, Howard's role is very important. The embarrassing thing is that next season is the year of his contract. The Suns' current situation is not good and renewed his contract with him with a high salary. There are already three maximum-paid players in the team.

If Atai is recruited into the lineup, then the Suns will win the championship next season, and the team's defense will become very terrible. The only hidden danger is that Atai is a thorn, and his character has collapsed now.

D'Antoni believes that it is feasible. Ariza is 203m tall and is suitable for developing in the 3rd and 4th positions. It is a bit high to play in the 2nd position. If Howard has a high salary and can't stay, it will be a loss if he only takes one year to let go. Atai looks like a good supplement. The contract is not big, the low salary and high energy will expire in 2009.

If Atai wants a high salary in 2009, the Suns will just not renew his contract. He has a strong wing strength in the next three years.

Guo Xu vetoed it. "We have Sean (Maryon) here, so Artest doesn't need to be. The two of them overlap. If they play Sean together, they have to play No. 4 and the defense is not much stronger. Artest has come and it's hard to score. He has been selected into the All-Star twice and may not be willing to be a blue-collar worker, but we don't need him to attack."

Guo Xu refused Artai. He was very famous. If he couldn't play the data, he would make him look useless. He didn't want a famous player. If he wanted to find a swingman to replace Howard, he would prefer to choose a potential all-round rookie.

Next season, Marion will come back. The Suns lineup will be very terrible. What's the point of adding an All-Star? It makes people question whether the four giants are united? David Stern is in charge, and they may stop this deal for "basketball reasons."

Brian smiled and said, "Jason, you really saved me money. If you say no, then don't. Will Josh stay next summer?"

With Guo Xu here, the Sun will never sign a high-paying contract with Howard. Even if his strength improves year by year, signing him will not have any good results. Guo Xu and Howard don’t chat much, but it just depends on the person’s personality of enjoyment and his love to make friends. He will definitely become a bad person whenever he has money.

Guo Xu shook his head. "No, he wants more ball rights and a big contract. Send him to a bad team as the boss. Everyone is happy. We will discuss the specifics after the season is over. It's too early to talk now. I suggest changing to the right rookie training."

"Okay. Listen to you." Brian smiled.

He believed in Guo Xu's vision 100%. There are currently no rookies that Guo Xu proposed to choose, and they are all suitable for the Suns system. Since he can choose Howard to replace Joe Johnson at the low pick, it is normal to choose an excellent replacement.

On the 30th, the Suns played against the Pacers at home. Guo Xu wanted to get a high score and beat the fallen dog, but unfortunately he failed to get his wish. The Suns won 38 points 109-71.

The Pacers' lineup is so bad that the Suns can't let go. Eddie Jill, David Harrison, Jascovius, these people don't know the names of them unless they are fans who know NBA very well. Even Crohill is a little famous person, and he is a high-paying and low-energy player with a serious decline in form.

Guo Xu only played 27 minutes before clocking in and got off work early, scoring only 30 points, 8 rebounds and 6 assists. He played more in 27 minutes, and the team had already secured the victory in the first half. In the third quarter, he played 9 minutes to make up 30 points.

The Pacers actually made Guo Xu grab 8 rebounds, which shows how bad it is. No matter how relaxed the defense is, they mostly miss the shooting.

After the game, Guo Xu made a big news, of course not because he defeated the Pacers to win four consecutive victories, but because he announced that he would perform "Phantom of the Opera" on the Stars Weekend.

"Yes, you heard it right, it's not a joke. I'm going to hold a concert on the celebrity weekend to play the protagonist Phantom. From now on, I will take some time to practice singing, rehearsal, and strive to give everyone a classic performance."

In the venue, the reporters were stunned for a few seconds.

A local acquaintance reporter asked: "Are you not afraid of affecting your playing condition when doing this? The Suns' record and situation are good now. Don't you want to achieve better results?"

"I think, I won't miss the team's training class and only practice singing in my spare time. I promise that it won't affect my condition. Singing is a good exercise and qi training for me."

All the reporters didn't know what to ask, and the scene was once very awkward.

Practice Qi? Should you practice Qigong waves next?

Obviously, no one thinks he can act as a musical as high-end thing...—
