The two were tired of being at home for several days and never went to the last base. Meghan didn't want to have sex in a hasty way and wanted to choose a meaningful day to be used as an anniversary.

Guo Xu said: "I think June 1 is very meaningful. This is a very important festival in China, and the whole country will celebrate."

Megan rolled her eyes. "It's enough to say it makes sense."

Guo Xu had no choice but to express his respect for her and could wait. Anyway, after waiting for so long, it was not too long for a few days. The latest one was the day when the movie was finished, which was very memorable.

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

It is not okay to add a bed in the apartment. If he doesn't buy a house in Phoenix and buy a bed alone, he doesn't know what the news will say. The reporters have a lot of brains and people are waiting near his house every day.

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

It’s hard to stay in Phoenix in June. The weather is too hot and you can only blow up the air conditioner at home. Los Angeles is the most comfortable. The two places are not far apart, so he can take a vacation in Los Angeles every year.

On June 4, the finals of the Nets vs. Spurs started, with the first ratings of only 6.7, which was so low that the president wanted to collapse.

Fans like to watch the stars play luxurious data and score each other, but the two teams can't make it this finals. They both win the game overall, and the data of the Nets star Kidd is very average. The Spurs "Stone Buddha" Duncan's data is slightly better, but he is known for his simple and unpretentious style of the game and his playing style cannot attract audiences.

The low ratings are also related to the size of the two teams' market. The Spurs are located in San Antonio and belong to a small city team. New Jersey and New York are only separated by a Hudson River, but the market is a world of difference. The Nets boss is ready to sell the team.

As long as these two teams are not PK, the ratings will not be so bad. In 1999, the Spurs vs. Knicks, the series ratings were 11.2.

The finals process has changed. The Spurs have upgraded after playing against the Suns. After seven games against Parker and Guo Xu, they are not afraid of playing against Kidd. The defensive end is much easier. The two of them have different ball-holding offensive abilities.

Duncan defended Sir Jersey, and Nene felt a little more relaxed when he played against Martin. David Robinson could still play for a long time because Nets center Jason Collins was a pure blue-collar worker and the only way to score was to get a bargain at the basket.

As a result, the Spurs defeated the Nets 4-1 and easily won the championship. Since it was the 232 schedule, they won the championship trophy in New Jersey, and Duncan won the FMVP.

Now the Spurs management can breathe a sigh of relief. Duncan is the contract year this year. If the Spurs do not win the championship, he can choose to leave as a completely free agent.

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

"Admiral" Robinson will retire after winning the championship. He has vacancies 10 million in salary space, and the Spurs can give Duncan a seven-year maximum salary contract.

Bartel became the first Chinese player in NBA history to win the championship. Although he did not make the playoff roster, he averaged 20 shouts, 22 handing towels, and 25 applauses, which helped the team win.

After the game, Suns fans felt even more regretful. The Nets were obviously not a match for the Western Conference team. If the Suns pass the Spurs level, they can simply win the championship.

“Not that simple.”

In the hotel, after reading the comments from fans online, Meghan asked if the solar energy will win the championship next season, Guo Xu's answer was not optimistic.

"Why? Aren't you a little bit short of this year?"

"This is this year. Who can guarantee that other teams will not strengthen in the summer? Next season, the Suns will become stronger and their opponents may be stronger."

The current situation is that as long as Guo Xu does not participate in one thing, there will be no big butterfly effect. The Lakers may still form a "f4" and the Timberwolves may also form a "three-headed monster". NBA transactions usually occur between teams with good relationships, striving to achieve a win-win situation. Teams like the Spurs, Lakers, and Mavericks never trade with each other, and if you are not careful, you will "assist" the enemy.

There are not many players who directly join the mortal enemy, but it is also rare in Guo Xu's previous life, which will cause huge controversy, such as Ray Allen joining the Heat and Durant joining the Warriors.

The butterfly effect that Guo Xu may have triggered is in the East. Randolph became the boss of the University of Michigan, and joined the Grizzlies with the draft pick. Now the Trail Blazers have no potential newcomers to build a team, and they may not trade the team's top player Rashid Wallace.

In this way, the Pistons' strength is not enough, and there is a missing key figure who can pull it apart and defend. With only Ben Wallace, a guy with an actual height of 201cm and an explosion head of 206cm, cannot defend O'Neal and Duncan, and he can only get along in the east.

In short, Guo Xu knew that the difficulty of winning the championship next season will increase, but the competition in the West will become more intense.

There are many factors for a team to win the championship. First of all, the lineup must be matched reasonably; secondly, the players' mentality, experience, and on-the-spot performance are very important; secondly, they cannot encounter serious injuries.

The Suns lost this year, and the two teams with close strength often win the team with rich experience and excellent veterans, rather than the teams that are purely dominated by young people. The two Suns' veterans have too little effect on the court.

In Guo Xu's previous life, the NBA had no championship and achieved success entirely by new players, and the Warriors were not. When Curry won the championship in 2015, the overall age of the team was much larger than the current Suns. There were role players such as Bogut, Iguodala, David Lee, and Livingston.

The Suns in the summer must strengthen their lineup, otherwise even if they can run in better next season, they will have no advantage over the Spurs, Timberwolves and Lakers. They may be able to compete with Guo Xu's personal abilities with their impact and still suffer losses.

Two days later, Suns owner Jerry Colangelo personally called Guo Xu and asked him about his ideas on the team's strengthening.

Jerry said: "Scouts sent a complete summer libero list and the 2003 draft list to your email address. You can take the time to take a look and choose a few people from them. Let's discuss it. If you have any players from other teams who want to be teammates, you can also suggest that we will try to trade."

Last summer, Guo Xu had just joined the Suns and could make suggestions to the team. In the end, manager Brian signed Haslem and Alstom. These two also played a role in the playoffs and would definitely be renewed.

Now, both Colangelo and his son are fans of Guo Xu. They regard him as the savior of the Suns, and he already has a great say in the management.

Guo Xu asked: "What is the approximate trading range?"

Jerry said seriously: "If you want someone, just talk. Even if you want O'Neal, we will contact the Lakers to negotiate. But you'd better find a player who may be traded."

"I understand, I'll study the list first and call you later. I won't find celebrity players, and we don't have the right bargaining chips." Guo Xu sighed.
