On August 15, Guo Xu returned to Los Angeles with his bodyguards and agent.

Recently, he has become the number one star in Los Angeles, repeatedly making headlines, and the video of pretending to be an old man and going head-to-head with Kobe Bryant on the Great Wall has gone viral and become popular on the Internet.

The video shot by photographer Kevin Nance is clearer, and Guo Xu asked him to edit out the heads-up segment, accompanied by music, and prepare to post another version on the Internet, which will help increase popularity.

Major media in North America have reported Guo Xu's "China trip", saying that his popularity in China is far better than Kobe's, and thousands of people are empty.

Kobe was also convinced, and admitted in an interview that he could not compare with Guo Xu in Chinese. Because he speaks Chinese, is half Chinese, and understands Chinese culture very well, these are all advantages that Kobe Bryant does not have.

After Guo Xu and others came back, Megan was very happy, she always wanted to watch what the documentary filmed, and looked forward to it for many days.

A large number of videos were copied into Guo Xu's computer, and Harpy also reserved one in case it was lost.

In the evening, Guo Xu and Megan were at home eating snacks and watching videos, and laughed all night.

They followed the customs of the locals in various cities and did a lot of secondary two things. The section of the car to Jiuzhaigou was particularly good, and the strength of animals such as giant pandas, golden monkeys, mandarin ducks, wildebeests, and otters stole the show.

The two are the absolute protagonists of the documentary, and the camera follows all the time, and the others only appear occasionally. Megan is very happy, although this will not be released in theaters, but she feels like she has filmed a super long TV series, and her acting skills are not bad.

Guo Xu came back and was not idle, and the next day he invited O'Neal, Jason Statham, Austin Nichols and other friends to a big dinner.

Statham and Austin did not go to China with Guo Xu because they wanted to go to the glasses, and both failed.

At this time, NBA commissioner David Stern added points to Guo Xu in his heart, and valued him more and more, preparing to let him enjoy the star whistle in the new season, and it is impossible to make a total of 7 free throws in 4 games in the finals like last season.

Guo Xu didn't have a lot of breakthroughs in the finals, but there was no whistle, and he couldn't get a free throw unless he was knocked to the ground. And Iverson only needs to have a large body contact when he is misplaced, and he stumbles to the free throw line when he is hit by the opponent.

The league is trying to develop the Chinese market and promote the NBA to Asia, and Guo Xu and Kobe Bryant have become good pioneers.

However, Stern has another idea, the Lakers Big Three must be separated after next season, otherwise other teams will not have a chance to win the championship, and the statistics of the three will not be too pretty.

Guo Xu's ability can go to a weak team as the core, no matter where he goes, it is better than staying in the Lakers, which is not conducive to the long-term development of the NBA.

The charm of competitive sports lies in their competitiveness, and if the Lakers are dominant, it won't be interesting. In order to create opportunities for other teams, the NBA will also use new game rules next season.

There are four main points of adjustment: first, the legalization of regional defense; the second is to implement the three-second rule of defense in the penalty area; third, the time to pass the half court with the ball has been reduced from 10 seconds to 8 seconds; Fourth, accidental physical contact of a player while defending will not be considered a foul.

The first two rules are analyzed by many experts to be aimed at O'Neal, so that the opponent can wrap O'Neal in the low post, and the previous illegal defensive rules stipulate that players without the ball cannot be trapped. Gone are the days when interior players dominated the game.

In the past, the Jazz relied on the "two elders" to block and dismantle for more than ten years, the reason is very simple, people can't break the blocking and dismantling when they mark people, and a change of defense is misplaced, and they will suffer no matter what. But with joint defense, it's different, as long as three defenses and two are formed, how do you dismantle the front are two people. In Guo Xu's previous life, after the NBA implemented joint defense, Sloan never led the team to the Finals.

Reporters interviewed O'Neill and asked him what he thought of the new rules.

O'Neal said lightly: "Whatever, I don't think it matters, the Lakers are definitely still the strongest team, we are all confident to win the championship, no matter how we defend it, the game is played by five people." ”

This is also a butterfly effect, in Guo Xu's previous life, O'Neal was complaining about the new rules, and he doubted that a small guard like Iverson would rule the league in the future. But now that the Lakers have Guo Xu on the team, Iverson played a mess again last season, and he is not worried that the Lakers will lose at all.

There were also several big news in the NBA free agency market in August.

Elton Brand, a short power forward who averages 20+10 per game, was traded by the Bulls to the Clippers in exchange for Brian Skinner and Tyson Chandler.

In a high-profile interview with the Bulls' executives, they said that "Little Shark" Eddie Curry and Chandler will form an invincible twin towers, which will be better than the short interior Bland.

Jason Richardson called Guo Xu and chatted for half an hour, very excited, he will definitely be the first core of the team next season.

Soon they will be slapped in the face. In Guo Xu's previous life, Curry's rookie season statistics were only 6.7 points and 3.8 rebounds, and Chandler's statistics were 6.1 points and 4.8 rebounds, and the combined statistics of the two were not as good as Brand.

The Rockets traded the meritorious center "Big Dream" Olajuwon to the Raptors. And it's not that the Rockets boss is inhuman, it's Olajuwon himself who proposed to be traded.

The Raptors offered a 3-year contract of 17 million, giving more than the Rockets, the Raptors are stronger in terms of strength, Olajuwon is not short of championship rings, he wants to make more money at the end of his career, so he got together with the Rockets and broke up, changing a first-round pick and a second-round pick.

The Raptors are hopeless of winning the championship, and they want to rely on Olajuwon's popularity to drive the ball market and make more money. With such an unenterprising management, it is no wonder that Carter is reluctant to stay in the future.

The 76ers also made big trades in order to make a comeback for the new season. The management knows that if it is all blue-collar workers, it will not open up space, and it will not be able to attack. They sent away Teylon Hill and traded back Derrick Coleman, who had left the 76ers.

In 1998, Coleman signed a five-year, $40 million contract with the Hornets, but he fell out with coach Silas and was purged from the team.

In addition, the 76ers also signed young forward Matt Harprin, an excellent role player whose weakness is an injury concern. The 76ers also signed veteran Derrick McKay in free agency. Overall, their offense is definitely better than last season.

However, this time, no experts are optimistic that the 76ers will threaten the Lakers, and I feel that the gap between the lineup is still very large.

Guo Xu knows that the 76ers will not enter the Finals again, and Larry Brown will play when his men are all blue-collar, and they will not even be able to pass the second round in exchange for offensive players.

The only thing that makes Guo Xu feel a little threatened is the Kings, even anyone who knows the ball can see that Jason Williams is a waste wood who can only perform, and the trade between the Kings and the Grizzlies still happened, trading "white chocolate" for Mike Bibby.

This is no longer a weakness for the Kings at No. 1 after the trade, and Grizzlies management is happy, believing that "White Chocolate" is an influential player who can attract fans.

Guo Xu feels sorry for the Grizzlies, if they don't trade, Bibby, Gasol, and Randolph may be able to burst out with amazing energy, they are all the kind of players who are good at blocking and dismantling, can shoot, and have an unpretentious but very practical style of play.

But the Grizzlies management, without a reborn, does not know this. The Grizzlies have never made the playoffs since they were founded, and management wants to take advantage of Williams' popularity to sell some tickets, and nothing else.

At the end of August, the Lakers signed Jeraney McCoy, who was only 24 years old and started 44 games for the SuperSonics last season, and the center who was 208cm tall and weighed 111 kilograms.
