On July 1, the NBA free agency market officially opened.

The Suns immediately announced a trade that sent Jacobson to the Cavaliers in exchange for backup center Diop.

At the same time, there were accidents in the team, Alston did not renew the contract, but agreed to the Raptors' offer and left Toronto for 10 million in 3 years. Since he is a full free agent, the Suns can't match the offer to keep him.

Alston had a good regular season last season and caught the attention of Raptors management. The "Street Ball King" made a smart choice, the Raptors No. 1 position is weak, he can play as a starter when he goes, his playing time is guaranteed, and it is possible to compete for a championship if he stays in the Suns, but he will always be a substitute.

Hugging his thighs to compete for the title is what veterans like to do, Alston is still young, he wants to make money more, neither the management nor his teammates can blame him.

The Suns offered Haslem a two-year, $2 million contract, and he agreed without saying a word, without waiting for other teams to offer. The relationship between Haslem and Guo Xu is particularly good, and he is hard-hearted in the sun.

After getting the news of Alston's departure, Guo Xu immediately gave a response plan, suggesting that manager Bryan go to the Wizards to trade and strive to replace second-round rookie point guard Steve Blake.

Brian asked, "Why not get a first-round pick?" We could trade Barbossa. ”

The Spurs selected the "Brazilian Lightning" in the 28th place, but they are not short of people in the backcourt, and they have been trying to find an inside bench to help Duncan share the pressure.

Guo Xu was still not interested in this person, he explained: "Barbossa can't organize an attack, which can be seen by looking at the data of his university." The Suns have a lot of people who can score, and what I need at the break is a playmaker, and Blake is the kind of guard who can play fast, and he's very selfless and doesn't steal shots. ”

Brian thought for a moment and admitted that what Guo Xu said made sense. He proposed to trade veteran Scott Williams for a contract of 1 million per year in the final year. The Wizards' weakest position is power forward, which should be of interest to him.

Scott is a 35-year-old veteran who didn't play much in the playoffs last time, and the Suns will have no shortage of interior players next season.

The Wizards have no shortage of point guards, because they offered Arenas a long-term contract with a high salary, and the Warriors' salary cannot match above the salary cap, so they can only watch the "general" leave.

Blake is the 9th in the second round and the 38th in total, and the Wizards management will not take him as a treasure, and he will definitely be able to get it.

Before leaving for China, Guo Xu received a thank you call from Vanessa. "Jason, thanks to you this time, there was a waiter yesterday who didn't know I was here and wanted to tempt Kobe Bryant, but I drove him away, and I don't know what would have happened if I wasn't there."

Guo Xu said embarrassedly: "You're welcome, this is what I should do." ”

Vanessa asked in a whisper: "Does Kobe Bryant often encounter this kind of thing when he is away?" Surely you've seen it, right? ”

"Don't think too much, he can hold the ...... away"

Women's suspicions are often heavier, especially during pregnancy, Vanessa and Guo Xu chatted for more than half an hour before hanging up the phone. In the future, she will definitely guard her husband strictly, and Kobe Bryant will have to think about the consequences if he wants to take peach blossom luck.

Guo Xu threw the phone aside and asked Megan, who was surfing the Internet. "What the hell did you tell her? Didn't I tell you not to mention me? ”

Megan sighed: "I didn't mention you at first, but she thought it was very strange, and asked me why I said this suddenly, I really couldn't find a reason, if I didn't say it directly, she would definitely want to be crooked, maybe she thought Kobe Bryant said something strange to me." ”

Guo Xu covered his face with one hand, this kind of thing is really difficult to explain, he only blames himself for being nosy.

That night, Guo Xu got on a plane and went to China, and Megan went to visit her aunt's family and stayed in the hotel for the time being.

In addition to being interviewed by media reporters, Guo Xu also went to the Shanghai Theater Academy, Rock Park Xuhui West Bund Pavilion, NikeLab store, and ** High School to interact with fans.

Every event is full of fans, Guo Xu's popularity is much higher than in 2001, when he was just the best rookie who won the championship, and now he is a top star in the NBA. Countless foreign fans rushed to Shanghai, just to take a closer look at Guo Xu, he couldn't sign everyone, and he couldn't do it if he was tired.

At the last stop at Jiaotong University, Guo Xu was in the auditorium and accepted an interview with the host.

The host said: "A lot of people are looking at your changes, and now that you're the youngest MVP in NBA history, what do you think you've done by doing that? ”

Guo Xu pondered for a moment and replied seriously: "I can go from the last rookie to the MVP because I am 3CM taller than when I first entered the league." ”

The audience applauded, and many people couldn't laugh.

The "black cauldron" likes to talk about Guo Xu's height the most, thinking that he "never" can't compare to Kobe, Maddy, Kidd and others, on the grounds that these star guards are taller than him, and he is a defensive black hole. He said that he had a "height advantage", which was inexplicably funny.

The host asked: "If you grow taller, fans can't say that you are the strongest 180CM on the surface, do you prefer the way you are now, or the way it was in the past?" ”

Guo Xu smiled: "It's okay, now I am the strongest 183CM on the surface." ”

The fans applauded again, his self-confidence is really incredible, how can he be the strongest.

The moderator asked, "Can you tell us how you feel about China?" ”

"I like it very much, it tastes like home."

In Chinese he said, the host still couldn't believe it, and asked again: "What do you say about the taste of home?" ”

Guo Xu nodded: "Because my dad is a chef, when I was very young, my family opened a Chinese restaurant, and I grew up eating Chinese food." Leaving East Lansing to play in Los Angeles and Phoenix, I ate Chinese food less often. When I came to China, I smelled of my home everywhere, and it was very kind. ”

"Good!" The fans applauded and felt that it was not enough, and some people took the lead in applauding, and it was impossible for other NBA stars to say this.

The host asked, "How did you feel when you knew you were the youngest MVP in history?" ”

Guo Xu put a middle two POSS: "I'm really good." ”

There was another burst of laughter in the auditorium, and the answer was super down-to-earth.

The host asked, "Can you tell us how you felt when you were eliminated from the playoffs?" ”

Guo Xu smiled: "It's very depressing, because the Suns are only one step away from the finals, and the Nets are easier to deal with than the Spurs, and we have a good chance of winning the championship." After some time off, I decided to find something I liked to do to relax, and when I got back to Los Angeles, I would make a movie with my friends. ”

The host asked, "Is it the one you rejected before?" ”

"No, it's another one, I have a lot of friends in the entertainment industry, I didn't know the crew before, so I don't really want to act, I won't refuse to shoot with good friends."

The host asked, "What type of movie?" Does it have anything to do with basketball? ”

"It's a romantic comedy, I promise it's going to be fun, I can spoil a bit, I'm going to sing the theme song for the movie, and I'm going to show off my dancing skills in the movie. I want to prove one thing to everyone through this film, a singer who doesn't want to be an actor is not a good player. ”

The whole audience was amused, they all believed that Guo Xu could be a good comedian, and even he could be an excellent cross talk actor.
