During the holidays, Guo Xu stayed in Los Angeles. When he had no scenes, he would gather with friends and go out to play, occasionally visiting the crew.

Austin Nichos finished filming the movie "Traveler Love in Time and Space". The company booked a time to be released during Thanksgiving Day in November. Recently, he has no job and is having sex with Guo Xu every day. Jason Richardson joined the King and stayed in Sacramento when he was bored and ran to Los Angeles to find them to play.

The entertainment activities of the three people are not at all generous, just like when they were kids, they were eating, chatting, and playing games.

Richardson completely lost his ambition in the basketball world. He and Guo Xu were far apart. When the Kings just wanted to play good numbers and pursue a big contract. This was difficult. There were Stephen Jackson and Kevin Martin on the team, and the three of them had to share their playing time.

Guo Xu couldn't bear to hit the young man, so he could only suggest that he play health basketball and not lose his quality by getting hurt in order to make data.

He is actually doing worse than his previous life, entering the league a year earlier, and his contract expires in 2009. Even if his data is good, it is difficult to get a big contract if the Kings cannot win the ball. In his previous life, he at least created the Black Eight Miracle with his teammates, and now he has lost his achievements.

If Richardson could not get a big contract in 2009 and there was no good team to go, Guo Xu would of course be willing to help him. Now his annual salary is similar to that of Marion. He has never been selected as an All-Star in high salary and low salary. The Suns will definitely not trade him to the team.

Guo Xu played in Los Angeles until October. The movie "Chloe" was finally finished. He and Meghan returned to Phoenix, while Dadario and Amber began living together in Los Angeles.

On October 3, the Sun held Media Day in Phoenix, and the new season is about to begin.

Before the preseason starts, Brian Colangelo signed another point guard Shamond Williams.

Shamond is not strong enough. He played for the Magic and Hornets last season, playing a total of 55 games, scoring 4.8 points and 2.2 assists in 14.4 minutes, shooting percentage of 37.5% and three-point shooting percentage of 30%.

The Suns signed Shamond just in case. If Guo Xu is injured again, the Suns will not have the only point guard. Shamond at least has good dribbling skills and can shoot three-pointers, lead the pass through the half, and wait for the opportunity to catch the ball and shoot.

The players took photos together and were interviewed. Guo Xu, Stadameier and Roy took the core makeup photos.

Guo Xu commented on his new teammates. "They can help the team and they are all suitable for the tactical system, especially Grant Hill, who is an excellent veteran with rich game experience. In the Suns, he doesn't need to undertake too many ball-holding offensive tasks, and he will definitely get out of the trouble of injury and regain his feeling when he was young."

Thomas Carter has checked Hill's knees and his recovery is very good. As long as he controls his playing time, he will no longer change direction and break through quickly like when he was young, it will not be a big deal. Both conditions can be achieved, Hill will not dare to force a breakthrough, and his playing time in the Suns will not exceed 30 minutes.

After chatting for a while, the reporter asked Guo Xu to evaluate other teams, competitors with improved strength.

"Bryant has joined the Warriors. Do you think the Warriors can threaten the Suns in the new season? Their lineup looks strong."

Guo Xu thought about it and said seriously: "Bryant is very good. The Warriors are stars and have many potential new stars, but they need some time to get in. So I am not optimistic about them. They should be able to enter the playoffs in the new season, but it is difficult to go far."

The reporter asked: "Which team do you prefer the most?"

"I am most optimistic about the Rockets in the West. There are excellent stars in the inside and outside lines, and can achieve a balance between offense and defense. The East is the Celtics. They form the Big Three. The role players are also good and have strong overall strength. They are very likely to break out in the East and will be very competitive before the Big Three grows old."

The Chinese reporter who attended asked Guo Xu to comment on Yao Ming, saying that Yao Ming is a super insider, the top three center in the NBA, and has the strength to compete for the first center.

This is not a compliment. You can tell how outstanding Yao Ming is by looking at the data. His scoring ability ranks in the top five among all the insides at the moment. His single-handed competition efficiency is super high. If his opponent does not double-team, he can easily score 30 points.

Yao Ming’s flaw is that he lacks physical strength, and his efficiency will decrease over time. He will suffer because of his slow movement on the defensive end.

Guo Xu believes that the Rockets are an unexpected competitor, and the Suns can only fight with them to attack, and it is not easy to defend themselves. This means that the Rockets have a chance to defeat the Suns, and the key is which team's star performs better.

Guo Xu also answered some questions about the movie. "The new film was filmed very smoothly and will be released in February next year."

The reporter asked: "What kind of theme is this time? Are you good at love comedy?"

"I can't reveal the plot. You can tell when you go to the theater. If there are too many, it will be a lot of fun. I can only say that this is different from "The Innocence of the Dancer" back then. It is a brand new attempt by Meghan and me."

After the training camp started, Guo Xu and his teammates practiced together for a few days before participating in the preseason, and their condition recovered well.

However, just the first game of the playoffs, Guo Xu felt that the atmosphere of the Suns was different from last season.

In the preseason, he was alone in the preseason, and the others were playing very hard. Now everyone is lazy together, playing casually like playing, and he couldn't get energetic when defending.

As a result, they lost to the Warriors 95-100 in the first game. Several Warriors stars led by Kobe were very active. Guo Xu, who had been resting for a season, could not stop heavy defender Byron Davis.

In the second game, the Suns' defense was problematic, losing to the Lakers 101-107. Joe Johnson beat Roy, shot 6 three-pointers, shot as high as 70%, and scored 34 points and 5 assists.

After defeating the Kings, Clippers and Hawks, the Suns lost to the Celtics 86-93 and 91-100 to the Timberwolves. In the end, they only achieved a record of 3 wins and 4 losses in the preseason.

Guo Xu and Xiao Si have a tacit understanding in the pick-and-roll attack, and Roy is also active on the offensive end, but people in other positions like to stand still and make a move when fighting counterattacks. Not everyone can guarantee the hit rate like Guo Xu.

There is also a little problem with the Suns' lineup matching. Hill is not suitable for Roy. Hill's mid-range shot is average and he almost doesn't shoot three-pointers. He is good at attacking at mid-range, whether holding the ball or not. Roy's three-point shooting percentage is also average, and the positions of the two are slightly overlapping.

Anthony Parker was sent to a stable three-point shooting point, and the defense of the No. 3 position was a little worse. Roy played against the small forward and Lagabell, and he would suffer a loss on the defensive end. Roy was under pressure when playing against the small forward and would also increase the possibility of injury.

The wing defense is not as good as Marion at the time. Marion is also good at rebounding and is one of the small forwards with the strongest rebounding ability in the league. He actively takes fast breaks on the offensive end and can cut in positional battles.

Another hidden danger to the Suns is that there are too many players in the contract year.

Valaijo, Bale, Parker, and Tim Thomas are all contract years. They want to play data and strive for high salaries next year, but they can't help but want to increase the number of shots. They all have championships, such as Bale, who has won four consecutive championships, even low-key players like him cannot be selfless. He is not short of honor, but he really lacks money.

Not to mention Thomas, who has a negative record of game predicament. If the Suns hadn't given him the player options, he would have jumped out of the contract in the summer. Now he is easy to talk to, and he is lazy on the defensive end when he goes on the court, and only actively on the offensive end.
