On August 26, the Houston Rockets announced that they would send Zhou Xuan's signing rights to the Golden State Warriors in exchange for some cash, and the specific amount was not disclosed.

The Beijing Olympics have come to an end. In the men's basketball game, the Chinese men's basketball team led by Yao Ming broke through the group of death, broke into the quarterfinals and lost to Lithuania, a traditional European powerhouse, and finally ranked eighth in the men's basketball team of this Olympic Games, missing the best record in the history of the Chinese Olympic Games.

Yao Ming played aggressively and tenaciously in the group stage, not only making significant contributions on the offensive end, but also acting as a great deterrent on the defensive end, repeatedly using his height advantage to block opponents who burst to the basket to shoot. In that game against the U.S. men's basketball team, he also overshadowed Kobe Bryant's big hat. During his time in the NBA, his defensive prowess was questioned, with some arguing that he was too slow to move and less flexible to defend against the onslaught of opposing small players or even opposing power forwards. But Yao's positive defensive performance at the Olympics is gradually changing people's perception of him.

In an interview, the tired Yao Ming also mentioned that the upcoming NBA new season, Artest's joining has greatly improved the strength of the Rockets, and he is confident that he will make a breakthrough in the playoffs. He also said that the Warriors are a team suitable for the development of newcomers.

The Warriors are based in Oakland, California. As the fourth largest city in the state, Oakland is located in the heart of the San Francisco Bay Area, bordering San Francisco Bay to the west and the city of San Francisco across the sea, which was built in 1936 to connect the two cities. It is a typical oceanic climate, enjoying the west wind from the Pacific Ocean all year round, warm in winter and cool in summer, rare ice and snow in winter, often cloudy and foggy in summer, and the average temperature of the year is 13 °C. The abundant natural resources and pleasant climate scenery make this place full of romantic and splendid atmosphere, which deeply attracts tourists from all over the world. The urban area is 138 square kilometers and the population is about 340,000. Among them, 40% are white and 45% are black, and there are also Chinese, North Korean, Spanish, and Filipino people, and there are about 60,000 Chinese.

In 2007, Yi Jianlian fell in love with the Warriors when he participated in the NBA draft. The warriors who sit on the Chinese market are looking forward to Yi Jianlian opening up new territories and reproducing the legend of Yao Ming, and deliberately exchanged for the No. 8 sign, and the UAE is also very much looking forward to coming to the big market team and joining this team with a style of play that meets its own characteristics. But Milwaukee's ignorance of the "truncation of the beard" made everything come to naught. After a year, people once again linked Yi Jianlian with the Warriors, although it was just a rumor, it was also hyped by the media, and many people thought he would go to the Warriors, until Bucks general manager Harmon clarified that it was just groundless and traded Yi Jianlian to the Nets in the offseason.

When the Chinese stopped paying attention to the Warriors, Zhou Xuan's name was linked. Zhou Xuan also likes the city, which is in the same area as the Lakers and Clippers, and is very close to Los Angeles. If you take Highway 5, it is only 595 kilometers and it takes 5 and a half hours to drive. If you want to enjoy the beautiful coastline, you need to take Route 1, which takes 700 kilometers, and you have to drive all day.

It took half a month, relying on his magical memory and excellent reflexes, Zhou Xuan easily got a driver's license and bought a second-hand car. Few Chinese in the United States have not driven a used car. In this part of the United States, no car is like no legs. Used cars are cheap, and it doesn't take much to get into the car class. Many budget-conscious old Chinese are also willing to buy a cheap and high-quality second-hand car.

Americans change cars more often than Chinese change bicycles, especially some people who like to catch up with fashion, buy cars to buy the latest style, drive for two years and want to update, old cars are sent to the second-hand car market. It is said that the United States now has 2. 800 million people, there are 2. 700 million cars, almost one car per person. And Americans have to change about 10 cars in their lifetime, of course, not new cars, because their used car market is very well-developed, and it is no exaggeration to say that this is a country that lives on wheels.

Zhou Xuan went to a second-hand car trading market under Wang Meng's introduction, about the size of 4 football fields, and it was their general second-hand car trading market, with many styles, the general price was about 3,000 US dollars, and there were also new cars of about 10,000 US dollars. Some are very expensive, because there are many big bowls of stars who have opened.

Zhou Xuan bought a private car, and it was a BMW, and it only cost 4,000 US dollars, which is equivalent to more than 20,000 yuan, and there is a one-month warranty. This feeling is like a car is picked up, and the price of cars in China is too expensive, and most people will never be able to drive a BMW in their lifetime. Ironically, the roads are more congested than in the big cities of the United States. There is a saying that fully reflects this: "The farthest distance in the world is not life and death, but that you are in the Fifth Ring and I am in the Fifth Ring." ”

Zhou Xuan is ready to drive to Auckland to meet a new challenge. Lately he's been spending a lot of time at the gym and cutting back on the number of visits to Olson's mansion.

David. Olsen was depressed to find that the second daughter had begun to lose her appetite again. In the evening, Nathan carefully prepared Chinese food, using Zhou Xuan's recipe, Mary. After a few bites, Kate put down her chopsticks and went back to her room, saying "It's not that smell". Everyone could see that her low mood started when the news that Zhou Xuan was going to Auckland.

"It seems that his departure from Los Angeles is a big blow to Mary." David. Olsen put down his chopsticks and asked, "Ashley, what the hell does Mary think?" When did she start liking Stephen's? ”

The sisters have always talked about everything, but this time Ashley was also a little dazed. "I don't know if she usually behaves better than Stephendo, only that Stephen's mind impresses her."

"Who isn't impressed by a genius like him." David. Olsen smiled wryly, "Then what happened to him and Mary?" Intimate gestures...... Do you know ...... way?"

"No, he doesn't seem to think that way about us at all, just good friends. Maybe we're not his type. Ashley smiled wryly. If a man is always treated as an ordinary friend, it is quite devastating. Celebrity women from well-off families feel more deeply, they are used to being chased and loved.

Joan interjected, "Maybe he just doesn't know who to choose, you and Mary have a good relationship with him, and he takes good care of you, but you three can't always be together." Don't you want to be called twins and grow up separately? But you've been together since he came. ”

"After eating, I'll ask Mary what she thinks." Ashley sighed. For a long time, she and Mary lived separately, and her mother's trip to New York was certainly the reason why they were together again, but she didn't know what position Zhou Xuan had in her heart. Friends are certain, likes are also a little, love is definitely not to talk about. She loves mature and steady men, Justin. Barcelona has that feeling, but she also likes the freedom when playing with Zhou Xuan, and she doesn't need to pretend to be carefree as an adult.

The two husbands and wives will not talk about this topic anymore, and the young man's affairs will have to be solved by himself. Ashley is easier to handle, and Mary is the one who worries them. Mary is always very passive in her love life, and she is often unladylike, and she can no longer be stimulated.

After eating, Ashley went and knocked on Mary's door, sat down on the bed when she entered the room, and asked, "Why did you eat so little, it wasn't for Stephen not to do it, you had no appetite?" ”

"What did you say?" Mary frowned.

"As soon as the news came out that he was going to Golden State, you immediately became like this, to be honest, do you like him and fall in love with him?" Ashley asked.

"I don't know. Maybe there is one thing, in fact, I don't like him to play basketball, he obviously has a genius mind, why do you have to choose sports? Those people are so tall, he is too reluctant to himself, what if he is injured? Mary sighed.

Ashley immediately thought of her sister's personality problem, she was kind and afraid of getting hurt, whether it was herself or someone else, or even other creatures. She was uncomfortable when she saw an injured stray dog on the road, and once had the experience of sending a stray dog to a veterinarian station. Professional basketball, especially the NBA, is easy to get injured, and people with an ordinary constitution like Zhou Xuan are even more worried.

"So, he didn't play well in the summer league, said he couldn't sign with the Rockets, you have a big appetite, and you are happy every day as if you were having Thanksgiving, you just don't want him to play basketball?"

"Hehe, you say...... Am I bad and selfish? Mary took the pillow and put it over her head for a while, muttering, "That's his dream, but I hope he can't achieve it." I was a little happy when he was distressed, and I even wished he would stay here for the rest of my life as a chef. ”

"When did you get this idea?"

Mary sat up with her pillow in her arms. "When we came to the draft, we went to watch him come together, and I was very happy before I went, but when he was drafted, I felt like I had to lose something very important, like they told me at the time, 'Family Portrait is over, you don't have to come here tomorrow.'" I hate that feeling. ”

Mary's personality was somewhat contradictory, when Paris was. Hilton and Staworth. When Niakos came together, she was so angry that she went crazy, and that kind of madness was not that Aeniakos was a moth to the fire, but that she was unwilling to be snatched away from her. There is a powerful possessiveness hidden in her delicate body. Deep down in her heart, she hopes that Zhou Xuan will not become a star, so that no more people will know him, understand him, and like him. In that way, Zhou Xuan will stay here if he wants to live a good life, and she can give him a rich life. When she had this thought, she was startled, maybe after falling in love with the rich second generation of Greece, she began to want to find a poor and ordinary person.

In short, Zhou Xuan went to play basketball, and leaving Los Angeles was bad news for her.
