On July 1, the NBA free market officially opened.

The Suns immediately announced a deal, sending Jacques Bson to the Cavaliers in exchange for substitute center Diop.

At the same time, there was an accident in the team. Alstom did not renew his contract, but agreed to the Raptors' offer and went away to Toronto for 10 million in three years. Since he was a complete free agent, the Suns could not match the offer and leave him.

Alstom performed well last season, attracting the attention of the Raptors' management. The "King of Street Football" made a smart choice. The Raptors' No. 1 position is weak, he can play when he goes, and his playing time is guaranteed. Staying in the Suns can compete for the championship, but he will always be a substitute.

Catching the championship is something veterans like to do. Alstom is still young and he wants to make money even more. Neither management nor teammates can blame him.

The Suns offered Haslem a two-year contract of 2 million. He agreed without saying a word and did not wait for other teams to offer. Haslem and Guo Xu had a very good relationship and were determined to get along with the Suns.

After receiving the news that Alstom left, Guo Xu immediately gave a response plan and suggested that manager Brian go to the Wizards to trade and try to replace the second round rookie point guard Steve Blake.

Brian asked: "Why not change the first round pick? We may trade Barbosa."

The Spurs ranked 28th and selected "Brazil Lightning", but they are not short of people in the backcourt. They have always wanted to find an inside substitute to help Duncan share the pressure. As long as the Suns propose a deal, it is very likely to succeed and there is no need to spend too much money.

Guo Xu was still not interested in this person. He explained: "Barbosa can't organize the offense, it's obvious from his university data. There are many people who can score points in the Suns. What I need when I get off the court is the organizer. Blake is the kind of guard who can launch fast attacks, and he is very selfless and does not take advantage of the move."

Brian thought about it and admitted that what Guo Xu said made sense. He proposed to exchange veteran Sgerter Williams for an annual salary of 1 million in the last year. The Wizards' weakest position is the power forward, and they should be interested in him.

Sgerter is a 35-year-old veteran. He had no chance to play in the last playoffs, and the Suns will not lack inside players next season.

The Wizards are not short of point guards because they offered Arenas a high-paying contract. The Warriors' salary is not matched above the salary cap, so they can only watch the "general" leave.

Blake is ranked 9th in the second round, with a total of 38th. The Wizards management will not use him as a treasure, so it will definitely be exchanged for it.

Before going to China, Guo Xu received a thank-you call from Vanessa. "Jason, thanks to you this time, a waiter didn't know that I was here yesterday. He wanted to seduce Kobe, but was driven away by me. If I were not here, I wouldn't know what would happen."

Guo Xu said awkwardly: "Don't be polite, this is what I should do."

Vanessa asked in a low voice: "Does Kobe often encounter such things when he is away? You must have seen them?"

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

Women are often more suspicious, even more so during pregnancy. Vanessa and Guo Xu chatted for more than half an hour before hanging up the phone. In the future, she will definitely be cautious about her husband. Kobe wants to take good care of the consequences.

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

Megan sighed: "I didn't mention you at first, but she felt it was strange. When asked why I suddenly said this, I really couldn't find a reason. If I didn't say it directly, she would definitely think wrongly. Maybe I thought Kobe had said something strange to me."

Guo Xu covered his face with one hand. It was indeed difficult to explain such things. He was just blamed for meddling in other people's business.

That night, Guo Xu took a plane to China. Meghan went to visit his aunt's family and was not staying in the hotel for the time being.

The venue for this "China Tour" event is in Shanghai. In addition to being interviewed by media reporters, Guo Xu also had to interact with fans at the Shanghai Theatre Academy, the Xuhui West Bank Pavilion of Rock Park, the nikelab store, and the ** Affiliated High School.

Every event is full of fans. Guo Xu's popularity is much higher than in 2001. At that time, he was just the best rookie in the championship. Now he is the top star of the NBA. Countless fans from other places rushed to Shanghai to see Guo Xu at close range. He could not sign everyone, and he was so tired that he could not do it.

The last time I stood at Jiaotong University, Guo Xu accepted an interview from the host in the auditorium.

The host said: "Many people are paying attention to your changes. Now that you have become the youngest MVP in NBA history, what do you think you are doing this?"

Guo Xu pondered for a moment and replied seriously: "I can go from the last rookie to the MVP all depends on my height advantage, because I am 3cm taller than when I first entered the league."

The audience was filled with applause, and many people laughed so hard.

What the "black pot" likes to talk about is Guo Xu's height, thinking that he is "never" not as good as Kobe, McGrady, Kidd and others, because these star guards are taller than him and he is a defensive black hole. He said that he has a "height advantage" 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 this now or that in the past?"

Guo Xu smiled and said, "It's OK. Now I'm the strongest 183cm on the surface."

The fans applauded again. His self-confidence is really amazing, and he is the strongest.

The host asked: "Can you tell me how you feel about China?"

"I like it very much, it has the smell of home."

The host was still a little unbelievable about what he said in Chinese and asked again: "Do you think the taste of home?"

Guo Xu nodded: "Because my dad is a chef, when I was very young, my family opened a Chinese restaurant. I grew up eating Chinese food. I left East Lansing and went to Los Angeles to play ball in Phoenix. I ate Chinese food less often. Once I came to China, the taste of my family was everywhere, which was very friendly."

"Okay!" The fans felt that it was not enough to applaud. Some people took the lead and applauded, and other NBA stars could not say this.

The host asked: "When you know you became the youngest MVP in history, what did you feel at that moment?"

Guo Xu put on a second-tier poss: "I'm so awesome."

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

The host asked: "Can you tell me how you feel when you are eliminated in the playoffs?"

Guo Xu smiled and said, "I'm very depressed, because the Suns are only one step away from the Finals. The Nets are easier to deal with than the Spurs. We have a high chance of winning the championship. After a while on vacation, I decided to find something I like to do to relax. When I return to Los Angeles, I will shoot a movie with my friends."

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

"No, it's another movie. I have many friends in the entertainment industry. I was not familiar with the crew before, so I didn't want to act. I won't refuse to shoot with my good friends."

The host asked: "What type of movie is it? Is it related to basketball?"

"It's a romantic comedy. I promise it will be fun. I can spoil it a little bit. I will sing the theme song for the movie and show my dancing skills in the movie. I want to prove to everyone through this movie that singers who don't want to be actors are not good players."
