The two were tired and crooked at home for several days, and never got to the last base, and Meghan didn't want to have a hasty relationship, so she wanted to choose a meaningful day and then use it as an anniversary.

Guo Xu said: "I think June 1 is very meaningful, it is a very important holiday in China, and the whole country celebrates. ”

Megan rolled her eyes. "If I say it's meaningful."

Guo Xu had no choice but to show respect for her and could wait. Anyway, after waiting for so long, it's not too many days, and the latest is the day when the movie is finished, which is very commemorative.

What's funny is that it has recently become Megan's bed and Guo Xu sleeping on the sofa. If both of them sleep in the bed, Guo Xu will definitely not be able to sleep, and he will be embarrassed to let his girlfriend enjoy the sofa treatment anymore.

It doesn't work to add a bed to the apartment, and if he doesn't buy a house in Phoenix and buy a bed alone, the news doesn't know what to say. The reporters have big brains, and there are people squatting near his house every day.

The next day, Guo Xu called Robert Smith and discussed with him about finding a director, contacting the crew, saying that the movie would start filming in the summer, and then went to Los Angeles with Meghan.

Entering June, Phoenix is already not good, the weather is too hot to blow the air conditioner at home, or Los Angeles is the most comfortable, the two places are not far apart, and he can take a vacation in Los Angeles every year.

On June 4, the finals of the Nets vs Spurs began, and the ratings of the first game were only 6.7, so low that the president wanted to collapse.

Fans like to watch the stars play luxury statistics and score points against each other, but this time the two teams can't soar in the finals. They all rely on the overall win, and the Nets' star Kidd's stats are average. Spurs "Stone Buddha" Duncan's stats are slightly better, but he is known for his unpretentious style of play, and his style of play cannot attract audiences.

The low ratings are also related to the size of the ball market of both teams. The Spurs are located in San Antonio, which is a small city team, and New Jersey and New York are just separated by the Hudson River, but the ball market is a world apart, and the Nets owners are ready to sell the team.

As long as it weren't for the PK of these two teams, the ratings would not be so bad, and the series rating was 11.2 in 1999 when the Spurs vs Knicks.

There were some changes in the finals process, the Spurs upgraded after playing the Suns, Parker and Guo Xu played against each other for seven games, they were not afraid of Kidd at all, and the defensive end was much easier, and the offensive ability of the two with the ball was not a grade.

Duncan also felt a little more relaxed against Martin after defending Smalls and Nene again. David Robinson can still play for a long time because the Nets' center Jason Collins is a pure blue-collar player who can only score by picking up leaks under the basket.

As a result, the Spurs defeated the Nets 4-1 to win the championship easily, and because it was 232 schedules, they lifted the championship trophy in New Jersey, and Duncan won the FMVP.

Now the Spurs management can breathe a sigh of relief, Duncan is a contract year this year, if the Spurs don't win the championship, he can choose to leave if he becomes a completely free man.

In 2000, Duncan became a free agent, and in order to facilitate the Spurs to strengthen the lineup, Duncan only renewed his contract for 3 years and 32.6 million, with an average annual salary of less than 10 million. In 2001, veteran David Robinson renewed his contract for 2 years and 20 million.

"Admiral" Robinson will retire after winning the championship, and he has 10 million salary space, and the Spurs can offer Duncan a seven-year contract with a maximum salary.

Battle became the first Chinese player in NBA history to win a championship, and although he did not make the playoffs, he helped the team to victory with a large triple-double of 20 shouts, 22 towel handings and 25 applause per game.

After the game, Suns fans felt even more regretful, the Nets were obviously not the opponent of Western teams, and if the Suns passed the Spurs, they could simply win the championship.

"It's not that simple."

In the hotel, after reading the fans' comments on the Internet, Meghan asked if solar energy could not win the championship next season, and Guo Xu's answer was not optimistic.

"Why? Aren't you a little bit worse this year? ”

"It's this year, and who can guarantee that the other teams won't be strengthened in the summer? The Suns are stronger next season, and their opponents may be stronger. ”

The current situation is that as long as Guo Xu does not participate in one thing, there will not be much butterfly effect, the Lakers may still form an "F4", and the Timberwolves may also form a "three-headed monster". NBA transactions generally occur between teams that have good relationships and strive to achieve a win-win situation. Teams like the Spurs, Lakers, and Mavericks never trade with each other, and they will "assist" the enemy if they are not careful.

It is not uncommon for players to directly join their rivals, but it is also relatively rare in Guo Xu's previous life, which will cause huge controversy, such as Ray Allen joining the Heat and Durant joining the Warriors.

Guo Xu's possible butterfly effect is in the East, where Randolph became the boss of the University of Michigan and was promoted to join the Grizzlies with the draft pick. Now the Trail Blazers don't have the potential for rookies to build around, and they won't necessarily trade the team's top name, Rasheed Wallace.

As a result, the strength of the Pistons is not enough, and there is a key figure who can pull away and defend. With Ben Wallace's actual height of 201CM and explosive head of 206CM, he can't defend against O'Neal and Duncan alone, and he can mix in the East.

In short, Guo Xu knows that it will be more difficult to win the championship next season, but in the west, the competition will become more intense.

There are many factors for a team to win the championship, first of all, the lineup must be reasonable; Secondly, the mentality, experience, and on-the-spot performance of the players are very important; Then you can't suffer from serious injuries.

The Suns' loss this year is not a surprise, and the two teams that are close in strength tend to win against teams with a lot of experience and great veterans, rather than teams led purely by young people. The Suns' two veterans have too little to do on the court.

In Guo Xu's previous life, no championship in the NBA was all about the success of newcomers, and neither were the Warriors, and when Curry won the championship in 15 years, the overall age of the team was much older than the current Suns. There are role players like Bogut, Iguodala, David Lee, Livingston, and more.

In the summer, the Suns must strengthen the lineup, otherwise even if they run in better next season, they will not have an advantage over the Spurs, Timberwolves, and Lakers. They may have a fight by relying on the impact and Guo Xu's personal ability, but they still suffer.

Two days later, Suns owner Jerry Colangelo personally called Guo Xu and asked him about his thoughts on team reinforcements.

Jerry said: "The scouts sent you a full list of summer libero and the 2003 draft pick, you take the time to take a look, select a few people out of them and we'll talk about it, and if you want to be teammates on other teams, you can also propose it, and we'll try to trade it." ”

Guo Xu was able to make a proposal to the team as soon as he joined the Suns last summer, and in the end, manager Bryan signed Haslem and Alston, who also played a role in the playoffs, and will definitely get contract extensions.

Now, Colangelo and his son are fans of Guo Xu, and he is regarded as the savior of the Suns, and he has a great say in management.

Guo Xu asked: "What is the approximate scope of the transaction?" ”

Jerry said: "Whoever you want, even if you want O'Neal, we will contact the Lakers to negotiate." But you'd better look for the kind of player who could be traded. ”

"Got it, I'll study the list first, I'll call you later, I won't look for star players, and we don't have the right chips." Guo Xu sighed.

Even if he is given the right, it is not easy to choose people, because the newcomers of the Sun are the best, and everyone loses money in the transaction, and as for the high-paid veterans, no one wants them......
