On August 15, Guo Xu, his bodyguard and his agent returned to Los Angeles together.

Recently, he has become the number one star in Los Angeles, and has been on the headlines many times. The video of him pretending to be an old man and fighting Kobe on the Great Wall has spread and became popular on the Internet.

The video taken by photographer Kevin Nance is more clear. Guo Xu asked him to edit the single-handed episode, accompanied by music, and prepare to post another version online, which will help increase popularity.

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

Kobe was convinced and admitted in an interview that he could not compare with Guo Xu in China because he could speak Chinese, had half Chinese descent, and understood Chinese culture very well. These are advantages that Kobe did not have.

After Guo Xu and others came back, Meghan was very happy. She had always wanted to watch the documentary and had been looking forward to it for many days.

A large number of videos were copied into Guo Xu's computer, and Hapi also reserved a copy to prevent it from being lost.

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

They followed the local customs in various cities and did a lot of things to do. The scene they took to Jiuzhaigou was very good. The giant panda, golden monkey, mandarin duck, wildebeest, otter and other animals were so eye-catching.

The two are the absolute protagonists of the documentary. The cameras are always filming, and the others only appear occasionally. Meghan is very happy. Although this will not be released in theaters, she feels like she has made a super long TV series and her acting skills are pretty good.

Guo Xu was not idle when he came back, so the next day he invited O'Neal, Jason Statham, Austin Nichos and other friends to have a big meal.

Statham and Austin both failed to go to China with Guo Xu because they wanted to go to the glasses. Both of them failed.

At this time, NBA president David Stern added points to Guo Xu in his heart, and he valued him more and more. He prepared to let him enjoy the star whistle in the new season. It was impossible for him to have 7 free throws in the 4 games of the Finals like last season.

Guo Xu did not make many breakthroughs in the finals, but there was no whistle. He could only get a free throw unless he was knocked to the ground. As long as Iverson had a large physical contact, he was hit by the opponent and staggered to the free throw line.

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

However, Stern has another idea. After the end of next season, the Lakers' Big Three must be separated, otherwise other teams will not have the chance to win the championship, and the three of them will not be too beautiful.

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

The charm of competitive sports lies in its competitiveness. If the Lakers dominate, it will be boring. In order to create opportunities for other teams, the NBA will also use new rules of the game next season.

There are four main adjustments: First, the legalization of regional defense; second, the three-second defense rule is implemented in the penalty area; third, the time for dribbling the ball through halftime is reduced from 10 seconds to 8 seconds; fourth, the player's accidental physical contact during defense will not be regarded as a foul.

Many experts believe that the first two rules are for O'Neal, so that the opponent can double-team O'Neal in low posts. Previously, illegal defensive rules stipulate that double-team players without the ball cannot be double-teamed. In this way, the days when inside players dominate the game are gone forever.

In the past, the Jazz relied on the pick-and-roll moves of the "two elders" for more than ten years. The reason is very simple. People can't break the pick-and-roll if they are targeted. Once they change defense, they will be misaligned and they suffer any losses. But it is different if they have joint defense. As long as they form three defenses and two, no matter how you dismantle them, there are two people in front. In Guo Xu's previous life, after the NBA implemented joint defense, Sloan never led the team to the finals again.

The reporter interviewed O'Neal and asked him what he thought about the new rules.

O'Neal said relaxedly: "Whatever, I don't think it's important. The Lakers are definitely the strongest team. We all have confidence in winning the championship. No matter how we defend, there are five people playing in the game."

This is also a butterfly effect. In Guo Xu's previous life, O'Neal complained about the new rules. He suspected that small defenders like Iverson would dominate the league in the future. But now there is Guo Xu in the Lakers. Iverson played a mess again last season, and he was not worried that the Lakers would lose.

In August, several big news also appeared in the NBA free market.

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

A high-profile interview by the Bulls said that the "Little Shark" Eddie Curry and Chandler will form an invincible double tower, and the effect will be better than the short inside player Brand.

Jason Richardson called Guo Xu for half an hour and was very excited. He will definitely be the team's number one core next season.

They will soon be slapped in the face. In Guo Xu's previous life, Curry's rookie season data was only 6.7 points and 3.8 rebounds, while Chandler's data was 6.1 points and 4.8 rebounds. The data of both of them were not as good as Brand.

The Rockets traded the meritorious center "Big Dream" Olajuwon to the Raptors. And this is not because the Rockets boss is inhumane, but because Olajuwon himself proposed to be traded.

The Raptors have issued a three-year contract of 17 million, giving more than the Rockets. In terms of strength, the Raptors are stronger. Olajuwon is not short of championship rings. He wants to make more money at the end of his career, so he got along with the Rockets and changed to a first-round pick and a second-round pick.

The Raptors are hopeless to win the championship, and want to rely on Olajuwon's popularity to drive the market and make more money. With such a management team that is not enterprising, it is no wonder that Carter is unwilling to stay in the future.

The 76ers also made big deals in order to make a comeback in the new season. The management knew that if they were all blue-collar workers, they would not be able to open up space and attack. They sent away Teelon Hill and replaced Derek Coleman, who had left the 76ers before.

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

In addition, the 76ers also signed young forward Matt Hapurin, an excellent role player, whose weakness is that they have hidden injuries. The 76ers also signed veteran Derek McKay in the free market. Overall, their offense is definitely better than last season.

However, this time, no expert is optimistic that the 76ers will threaten the Lakers, and it feels that the lineup is still very different.

Guo Xu knew that the 76ers would not enter the finals again. Larry Brown would play when he was all blue-collar workers, so they could not even pass the second round.

The only thing that made Guo Xu feel a little threat is the Kings. Even those who know the ball can see that Jason Williams is a useless man who only knows how to perform. The Kings and the Grizzlies still have a deal, and they exchanged "white chocolate" for Mike Bibby.

This is better than the Kings No. 1 position after the trade, and the Grizzlies management is also very happy. They think "White Chocolate" is a very influential player and can attract fans.

Guo Xu felt a pity for the Grizzlies. If he didn't trade, Bibi, Gasol and Randolph might be able to burst out amazing energy. They are all players who are good at pick-and-roll, can shoot, and have a simple and unpretentious style but are very practical.

But the Grizzlies' management has no reborn, so I don't know this. The Grizzlies have never made it to the playoffs since their establishment, so the management wants to use Williams' popularity to sell penalty tickets, and there is nothing else to ask for.
