Chapter 337 Player Status
On the yacht in the Mediterranean Sea, Xiang Chu was blowing the sea breeze comfortably.
I train in the morning and evening to maintain my physical condition, and the days of playing with my wife during the day are really fun.
For Xiang Chu, if there is no training, there will always be something missing.
The phone rang, it was Jim Smith, and Olivia stretched beside him.
"What's the matter, have you decided on the style of the signature shoes? I've already discussed with them about an event, 99 pairs of fans will have a lottery." Olivia asked.
"No." Xiang Chu couldn't help pinching Olivia's confused face.
"The team just signed a striker. It's a small signing. There shouldn't be any action this summer."
The Nuggets took Al-Farouq Aminu with a basic salary of 1+1. As a backup striker, it is good to be able to improve the defensive strength.
The selected rookies Nurkic and Harris have both signed contracts, but Jokic is playing in the European League and has no plans to come over for the time being.
The Nuggets really have nothing to do this summer. The specific situation depends on the start of the season.
Because Gallinari will return, the team may try to make a trade based on Gallinari's recovery.
If there is no way to keep so many people next season, early operations will be carried out when the opportunity is right.
Of course, it can't cause too much trouble to defend the title. The team and Xiang Chu have also communicated about this.
With the current situation of the Nuggets, it is impossible to maintain a complete lineup even in the big football market tomorrow summer, let alone them, Xiang Chu can understand.
But the team must listen to his opinion. He is not a player who has nothing but desires after winning a championship.
It's not good for anyone if the team messes around.
The Nuggets also understand Xiang Chu's appeal to fans, and his jerseys are now selling like crazy.
With Xiang Chu present, the attention the team has received has been raised several levels. In modern society, popularity can be realized, and Xiang Chu is not the only one who makes money.
For Xiang Chu, the most important thing after the honeymoon is the signature shoes.
But he's just cooperating with the publicity, and Jim Smith will take care of other things.
Now Jim Smith is also earning a lot of money, and his work enthusiasm is very high.
Xiang Chu and this buddy have a good personal relationship, after all, they came together, but for key questions, Xiang Chu never has an ambiguous answer, and he will strictly control the signs.
Only in this way, the relationship between everyone will not deteriorate.
Whether it is players and teams, or players and agents, everyone should implement a win-win situation.
Xiang Chu is very grateful to Xiang Jianzhong, who urged him to study and established correct values for him.
When Xiang Chu was on vacation, he also paid attention to the team's summer league.
Nurkic didn't play, and Gary Harris performed well, but he didn't have much reference value. As a rookie, this season may be just a backup.
Most rookies can only play soy sauce in their first season, especially for a championship team like them.
Xiang Chu thinks he is used to the movement of the team. If there are no problems, he will fight for this team for at least the next four years. As the core of the team, he must not ignore everything.
After returning from Europe, Xiang Chu began to serve for endorsement brands.
In addition to sneakers and sports drinks, he signed two new endorsements, to be precise, renewals.
It is the mobile phone and car brands, just as a new contract for the brand model and endorsement price.
Jim - Smith also hopes that he can endorse one or two fashion-related brands, but it has not been discussed yet.
Xiang Chu doesn't pay much attention to the endorsement attitude, and he doesn't care much like some stars.
As long as basketball does not conflict, it must be good to make more money.
Make more money and pay more taxes, and you will have more say in the American social system, so there is no need to be taboo.
In August, commercial activities were basically the main focus, and in September, Xiang Chu increased his training.
Summer training is often related to the state of a season, so we must pay attention to it.
Some players only care about comfort in the summer, and as a result, they will have problems soon at the beginning of the new season, and even their bodies cannot withstand injuries, and their entire careers are over.
At the end of September, the Nuggets' training camp began.
The newly joined young people were still a little excited to see Xiang Chu. After last season, Xiang Chu can be said to be a mythical figure in the league.
The players who stayed together didn't feel like it, and the young people who entered the league felt like meeting their idols.
As the boss of the team, Xiang Chu inherited the tradition of treating guests on the first day.
He has plenty of money now, and he is willing to spend money to please everyone to have a good time.
To be the boss, besides setting an example in training and competitions, you should also be more generous. This is the so-called human touch, isn't it?
However, it is more important to lead by example in training. Not all players are so conscious in the summer. In the Nuggets training camp, many players have to keep up with Xiang Chu's training intensity.
It's normal to complain a little bit, but everyone admires him very much. He is strong and professional and has a good attitude. It's hard not to be respected.
In October, the preseason began, and the Nuggets also took the opportunity to officially check the status of the players.
The Lakers' lineup has changed a lot this season. Last season, five of their eight main players left.
Gasol, who has been rumored to be traded, left voluntarily when his contract expired, and Jody Meeks, Kent Bazemore, Chris Kaman and Jordan Farmar also parted ways.
In addition to signing a few rookies and renewing a few players in the summer, the main changes of the Lakers are the bidding for Boozer and the trade to Jeremy Lin. Of course, the best change for the fans is Kobe's comeback.
The Lakers have not yet come out of the pain of Howard's trade, and Xia Tian's operation is not good at all. Now it depends on how many layers of skills Kobe has left.
Seeing Jeremy Lin, Xiang Chu was also a little bit embarrassed. The once all-powerful Lin Crazy actually wanted the Rockets to get the pick before he let go. However, after coming to the Lakers, there is still hope for him to regain his strength after playing hard.
But honestly, his character needs to be a little more flamboyant, or he's going to be under a lot of pressure in the Los Angeles spotlight.
Of course, his being sent out by the Rockets has little to do with his personality. The main reason is that his style of play requires possession of the ball. As a role player, this is unqualified, and the past two years have also proved that his strength cannot become the core .
In this game, the Lakers mainly looked at Kobe's situation.
For the Nuggets, in addition to checking everyone's status, they will also take a look at the newcomers.
Xiang Chu has already asked George Karl that the team does not have too many expectations for the newcomers for the time being. After all, the main lineup to win the championship is still there. Their main game is to see Gallinari's recovery.
Therefore, the focus of the two teams is on the players who have returned from injury, and the outcome of the preseason game does not mean much anyway.
