In the summer, Zhou Xuan and Chloe Moretz returned to China together to make the sci-fi movie "Forever" with the crew of Legendary Pictures.

After a year, Gilmour consulted with friends and decided to create a sci-fi film in the "Forever" series. It tells the story of a group of archaeologists who have discovered clues to immortality and are looking for a way to immortalize humanity. The first part is to China, where Zhou Xuan will play the role of a local tomb robber, a bit like Hu Bayi, who blows out the lantern, and joins the archaeological team as a tour guide.

No one said that Zhou Xuan was not doing his job, he still won the championship while playing.

The salary cap has really been raised next season, and teams have more salary space to bring in reinforcements.

Bryant stats 17. 2 points 4. 2 rebounds 3. 8 assists and shooting just 37 from the field. 1%, still not retired, indicating that they will play their last year. He won't give up until he breaks Abdul-Jabbar's scoring record.

The Lakers selected a good rookie, but they didn't know if they could receive the ball, and the Lefu data improved, which was the only thing the Lakers earned.

David West, Jermaine O'Neal, and Carter announced their retirement. They couldn't move.

Mullin brought in veteran Bogut to replace Junior and signed parallel No. 1 Bennett, who had a terrible season with the Timberwolves last season, and the limelight was completely overshadowed by the other two.

In addition, the Knicks also drafted two rookies. Free market veteran Dunleavy comes to hug his thighs and wants to get a championship ring at the end of his career.

This time the Knicks played a bit poorly in the regular season. It only took the third record in the East, behind the Nets and the Wizards. There are still a lot of injuries, and Zhou Xuan has also missed 15 games. In the summer, he was tired of filming, and he played soy sauce in the star competition.

Zhou Xuan averaged only 18 per game. 3 points 12. 7 assists, a serious dip in statistics. Even so, he is still the assist king. People said that the Knicks were finished and Zhou Xuan was finished.

As a result, entering the playoffs, Zhou Xuan suddenly became alive and unstoppable. Ibaka, Bennett, and Anderson also performed well in terms of the three interior withdrawals.

The Knicks swept the Pacers in the first round, eliminated the Wizards 4-2 in the second round, and beat the Nets 4-3 in the Eastern Conference Finals. The strength of the two teams is very close, and in three overtime games, Zhou Xuan scored two stunners and saved the team with his personal ability.

The Western Clippers have weakened. Griffin finally paid the price for his violent style of play, and the star suffered a torn cruciate ligament after the game, and a serious injury ended the season as they were eliminated by the Rockets.

After many years, the Rockets finally made it back to the Finals. Howard's form has dropped, they are tough on the periphery, and they are all good off the bench.

The confident modern combination met the experienced Knicks and was defeated 4-2, the Knicks won seven consecutive championships, and Zhou Xuan was MVP. This time, everyone was convinced, and Jordan also admitted that he was not as good as Zhou Xuan.

At the end of the season, Zhou Xuan's contract expired.

At the championship celebration party, Zhou Xuan behaved very flat, and then went to Los Angeles with Chloe Moretz, and for a whole week, Zhou Xuan seemed not in a good mood.

Chloe asked, "You've won the championship, why do you look like you're not happy?" ”

"Because I don't have the happiness of winning the championship at all, I think it's a good job. The season is over, the work is over. I'm not happy at all, I used to like to win, but now I'm winning too much. Zhou Xuan sighed.

Because of the loss of enthusiasm, Zhou Xuan didn't play well in the regular season, he passed the ball to his teammates on the court, and then waited for shooting opportunities outside the three-point line, watching his teammates play. The core players shouldn't be like that, but he just can't lift the spirit.

"You're one championship away from tying the Celtics, and you've got eight championship rings, don't you want to chase Russell?" Chloe asked with a smile.

"If I retire this summer, do you think the fans will think I'm crazy?" Zhou Xuan said with a smile.

"Maybe."

"What about you? Will you support me? ”

"Of course yes, I'm not in love with you because of basketball. Even if you retire and don't play basketball, you're still you. That hasn't changed. Colo smiled: "If you retire at your peak, many fans will be disappointed, but if your reason is that I am too strong, it is boring to have no opponent." Everyone will think you're awesome! ”

"Okay, I've decided." Zhou Xuan showed a relieved expression.

"Don't you often tell me to do whatever you like?" Now it's time for you to do something interesting. ”

"Well, let's write the script and film together...... What do you think of me going to a golf tournament? ”

"Okay, I'll be with you all the time."

"Me too."

In July, Zhou Xuan did not complete the contract extension with the Knicks, and the outside world is speculating whether there is a problem between the two sides. There is also gossip that the Knicks want Zhou Xuan to take a salary cut, and Zhou Xuan wants the highest maximum salary, and the two sides have a disagreement.

There are also fans on the Internet who suggested that Zhou Xuan take a salary cut, so that the Knicks can bring in more stars, and he does not have to help the team pass the thrilling situation in the playoffs with his personal ability like last season.

Some people like to watch intense games, and some people like to watch stars keep setting records, the latter of which are mostly pseudo-fans. Real fans don't necessarily have a clear position, and whoever plays well will support whomever they want.

Zhou Xuan met with Knicks management and said his thoughts, and everyone was surprised.

Mu Lin smiled bitterly: "You are only 29 years old, and you have no injuries, are you sure you want to do this?" No star has ever retired in his prime. ”

Zhou Xuan shook his head. "Yes, Magic Johnson."

"He's got AIDS, do you have AIDS?" D'Antoni said with a frown.

"No, but my enthusiasm is gone. I like to read online reviews, and in recent years, it has often been said that because of my existence, the basketball game has become boring and has lost the competition. I want to do something to make myself happy and give the opportunity to someone else, maybe it's time for another team to win the championship once. Zhou Xuan smiled.

"Crazy, you're just crazy." D'Antoni sat on the couch and shook his head. He knew what he had done all these years. Over the course of eight seasons, they have set a record for a terrifying win percentage. Without Zhou Xuan, everything would be different.

"I'd suggest that you get a good guard to replace me and spend money on the free agency to poach stars, maybe they're going to feel cheated, but it's good for the Knicks. I'm going to live in Los Angeles and occasionally come to New York to watch a game. ”

“……”

Several old men were a little dizzy, but Zhou Xuan had made up his mind, and there was nothing they could do. Zhou Xuan held a press conference to announce that his retirement would definitely make a sensation in the world.

The summer of 2017 was not destined to be peaceful.

The Nets began to rebuild, with Deron Williams leaving and returning to the Jazz. Delon gave up the championship, he wanted to finish where he started his career, and he wanted to do something for the Salt Lake City fans to help them rise.

Joe Johnson had a player option in his second year, and the Hornets offered him a decent four-year contract to join the roster.

Also due is Anthony, who decided to join the Lakers and join forces with Love, Kobe Bryant has taken a pay cut and will retire after this season, and he wants to change circumstances.

With three of the Big Five, LeBron James once again faces a difficult choice. Staying with the Nets to continue being abused? Or go to another team? If he leaves New York, will it be time for New York fans to burn their jerseys again?

Back to the knights? Showing love for your hometown? Now the Cavaliers are playing well, Irving and Aldridge have brought the team to the playoffs and drafted a good rookie. But the fans hated James to the core, and when he went back to Cleveland to play, the whole audience booed, and he couldn't go back.

Back to the heat? Wade has been wasted in the past few seasons, and although he has selected two good rookies, he has no future.

Anthony went to the Lakers one step earlier, blocking his way to the Lakers. The Lakers also have two young and high-quality interior players. The Wizards and Clippers have rejected him before, and those two teams mainly take the run-in route, and the core is reluctant to make substitutions, even if Griffin is injured.

The Pelicans are an option, with good players inside and outside, and a solid record, but it's a small city.

James thought about it for a while, and finally made up his mind to go to the Knicks.

Now the Knicks have salary space. Ibaka's contract has expired, and if you want a bigger one, you may not stay. If James asks for a contract that is not too big, the Knicks will be tempted. At that time, he and Zhou Xuan will form a partner, and it will be easy to continue to win the championship. New York fans shouldn't be disgusted, he just went from Brooklyn to Manhattan. Just say "New York fans, I love you guys." I'm here to pursue my dream of winning the championship. I am willing to assist Zhou Xuan to win more championships", so that the fans should be happy.

That's right, the fans will be delighted.

James' agent contacted Mullin. Upon hearing that he was coming, Mullin was overjoyed and immediately welcomed James. At the same time, they retained Ibaka with a high salary, and the inside line also completed a contract extension with Bogut, which is another base salary.

On July 10, James held a press conference to officially announce his joining and show off his new Knicks jersey. Everything is going well, James has regarded Zhou Xuan as the number one enemy for several years, but now he has "surrendered to the enemy". When the star arrives on the side of the Nets' rivals, the angry Russian tycoon is eager to find a killer to kill James, but he is a completely free man, and the Nets have no choice.

James was a little depressed that Zhou Xuan actually stayed in Los Angeles for a vacation and did not come to welcome him as a super teammate. They are going to make history together in the future! This guy has a big shelf too!

James is used to being sought after and every time he joins a team, he is very popular, and this time he found the atmosphere a little strange.

Probably Zhou Xuan was worried that I would steal his core position when I came, so he made a temperament? It must be like this, I have to work hard, maybe next season's Finals MVP will be me. James thought happily.

In Los Angeles, Zhou Xuan paid attention to the news, and the reporter commented that the Knicks lineup has improved again, and it will be unrivaled next season. Several team owners protested against the Knicks' monopoly of stars, arguing that if two of the league's top three stars were on the Knicks, there would be no suspense about the championship.

There are many fans on the Internet who oppose the formation of star groups, thinking that even if the Knicks have won 10 consecutive championships, they have no gold content.

Chlo Moretz asked: "The trade is done, the Knicks are still quite strong next season, when are you going to announce your retirement?" ”

Zhou Xuan closed his laptop and smiled, "Tomorrow." ”
