Soon after a week, Avril returned to New York. The two made an appointment to practice singing the day before the Grammy Awards Ceremony. They recorded an MV-style video and were very satisfied with the chorus effect. As long as they were not nervous, there would be no problems with their cooperation.

Megan stayed in the apartment for a week and made a new dish and pizza for Guo Xu that she had learned in Port St. Lucie. She was a little overjoyed, but she still returned to Los Angeles. If it went well, she would be able to graduate from high school this year.

With his outstanding performance in January, Guo Xu was elected the Western Conference Player of the Month for the first time. In the past, he could only compete for the best of the week in the Lakers, and the best of the month was always O'Neal and Kobe.

In February, the Suns played against the Bulls at home, and Guo Xu invited his friend Jason Richardson to have a meal alone.

It is completely different from when he was selected by the Bulls in 2000. Richardson is now extremely depressed and doesn't think he is the boss at all. The Bulls, who chose a bunch of rookies with high picks, are currently only ranked 12th in the Eastern Conference, and their winning rate is only higher than the Heat, Raptors, and the Cavaliers at the bottom of the league.

"So, that's why you asked Quan to Jaylen Ross? Do you think you are not as good as him?" Guo Xu sighed.

During the time cycle, he found that Richardson was too selfless and never fought for profit. Even though he spoiled the future in the cycle and persuaded Richardson to enter the NBA one year in advance, this guy still didn't make a move.

"The coach arranged for Rosdo to take the ball and said he had more experience," Richardson said.

"Your coach is obviously a waste. Since new Rose can swipe data, why don't you do that?"

Bulls head coach Bill Cartwright is a coach of Frank Johnson's level. Although the team is full of young people, they have to insist on playing positional battles and claim to be a stable defense. Then the Bulls can only average 95 points and concede 101 points per game.

Tyson Chandler, Eddie Curry, and Marcus Fizer three inside players who couldn't open the space to play a positional battle. The scene was so beautiful. Everyone happily rushed to the basket and blocked the penalty area. The guards could only shoot from mid to long distances under the interference of the opponent, and their shooting percentage was not high.

The Bulls' only tactic is that Jay Williams plays pick-and-roll in the middle. This guard is not sharp in breakthroughs, is inaccurate in shooting, and is not good at breaking through and passing balls. It is said that he is a 188cm "double-energy guard" but in fact he is a double-can't.

The Bulls can't run, bomb and counterattack like the Suns. Jay's organizational ability is average. Chandler has to protect the backcourt rebound. Fatty Curry can't run, and Rose is unwilling to run.

So the Bulls could only take turns to fight in each position. He was 30 years old this year and had no potential to dig the most, with averaging 19.3 shots per game and a shooting percentage of 40.6%, which is clearly a big shot.

The Pacers believed that Ross' existence affected O'Neal Jr.'s rise in the middle of the 2001-02 season, and no one wanted it if he wanted to send him away. In the summer of 2002, the Bulls regarded this person as a treasure and traded two high-quality players, Brad Miller and Artest. The Bulls manager has not been fired yet, and the boss is so generous.

"Isn't it a cancerous act to brush data?" Richardson said with a wry smile.

"If someone in a strong team tries data to affect the cooperation of the whole team, it is a cancer. The Bulls can't make it into the playoffs. What else can you do if you don't flip the data? If I had made more than 20 shots last season."

"Do you think I should take more actions?"

Guo Xu said seriously: "Nonsense, you have to win this season and next season, do you have to win even a big contract? If you don't have an average of 20+ per game in a bad team, how can you get a tens of millions of annual salary?"

Richardson sighed: "I actually want to propose a deal and play with a strong team."

"The core of a strong team has been confirmed long ago. If you don't have the right to play, you are just a role player. Next year, you will have to get the middle class. Brother, don't think of such stupid things. The Bulls are very suitable for your development. All you have to do is to brush out beautiful data, prove your potential, and squeeze out Rose next season. I don't believe that the management will keep him brushing data with the Bulls."

"Okay..." Richardson was a lack of opinion, but he would listen to his friend's advice.

Guo Xu knew that as long as Richardson was not traded, he would soon be overwhelmed. No one would compete with him for the ball next season, and Ross would be sent to the Raptors. When he played against Kobe in his previous life, the famous 81-point tragedy occurred. Jay Williams could not grab the core, and if there was no butterfly effect, he would hit the electric pole this summer by riding a bicycle.

At night, Guo Xu encountered something that made him speechless.

When the player warmed up, Jay Williams took the initiative to talk to Guo Xu, raised his head and said condescendingly: "The news says you are great, I'm not afraid of you. I'm the one who will become the strongest point guard in the future."

Guo Xu was stunned for a moment. What's going on with this prince's aura? Isn't this guy's character a nba version of Junmaru? He can leave the stage if he only acts for a few episodes, leaving a topic of what level he would reach if he was not sick.

Guo Xu walked up and patted Jay on the back, and said lightly: "If you want to be the strongest point guard, just focus on the court and work hard. I hope you can really do it one day."

This is not encouragement, but reminder. It is a small task for Guo Xu. If Jay is willing to listen, there may be a different future. If he doesn't listen and feels that he can succeed in living in a nightclub and racing on a motorcycle, then no one can save him.

Jay was young and energetic at this time, and firmly believed that he would become an All-Star in the future. He and Kidd scored 26 points, 14 rebounds and 13 assists against the Nets. He felt that he could play against Guo Xu, but he had few ball rights.

As a result, after the game started, Jay was too rough on the defensive end and always wanted to steal. She was soon troubled by Guo Xu's breakthrough and "strikes". Jay only played for 24 minutes in the game, scoring 8 points and 4 assists, while Guo Xu played for 34 minutes, scoring a double-double of 26 points and 12 assists.

After the game, Jay blushed a little when he shook hands with Guo Xu, but Guo Xu would not sarcastically mock him, and everything was left unspeakable.

Later, they won easily against the Clippers, Warriors and Suns in the same zone.

The forward line composed of Battier and Jamison is good at attacking and defending, point guard Arenas averaged 18+6 per game, locking in advance the fastest-progress player award, but the Warriors' inside defense is very bad and they still cannot make it to the playoffs.

Danpier, Troy Murphy's combination can grab rebounds, and it is easy to break through after switching defense guards. Danpier has the strength as a blue-collar shield, but Murphy is too soft and he can't do anything on the defensive end.

But Murphy got a lot of opportunities to play with his outstanding shooting, and averaged 32 minutes per game. With this fatal flaw in defensive end, the Warriors could not make it to the playoffs.

The most unlucky thing is Bathir. When he was with the Grizzlies in his previous life, his strength was quickly recognized. The defense he was good at joining the Warriors was completely unrealized. The team averaged 103 points per game, and many experts regarded Bathir as a high pick.

On February 5, the Western Conference's record ranking changed. The Kings lost 84-108 away to the Hornets in the East, and their record dropped to 34 wins and 16 losses, thus falling behind the Suns and ranking third in the West.

"White Devil" Mike Bibby just came back, and Suns star power forward Chris Webber was injured again. Webber has obviously become a "glass man" with extremely fragile knees. The King will lose a lot by signing a high salary and long-term contract with him.
