Chapter 1230 [Empty, Eating, Sleeping, and No Ball to Play]

Similar to last year's situation, many veteran free agents wanted to join the Lakers but were ruthlessly rejected.

The most famous among them is Deron Williams, who is 33 years old this year. At his peak, he ate, slept and beat Paul. Now he is willing to take a basic salary, eat and sleep without playing football. His speed was too slow and he was still a defensive black hole. He was waived by the underdog Mavericks in the middle of last season.

Players who are waived in the mid-term usually have fatal flaws, and managers of all teams know this. As a result, Deron is no longer interested in the free market and is likely to be forced to retire.

As for veteran gimmicks, what gimmicks can Deron have? Probably the only one who drove away the old coach Jerry Sloan when he was with the Jazz, and then he never performed at the same level as he did in the Jazz. After the two left one after another, the Jazz never made the playoffs again.

When talking about the incident last year, Deron was very regretful and said it was all his fault at the time. He also said he believed he and Carlisle would not make the same mistakes again. As a result, he and Carlisle had no problem and were driven away by the management.

Deron's situation is very embarrassing. Strong teams look down on his strength, so signing him is of no use. Weak teams look down on his age and believe that poaching him will affect the training of young players, so they are unwilling to sign him.

Judging from Deron's social media, he also enjoyed the vacation very much. Skiing, golfing, learning karate, and taking his children to play trampoline, Deron seems to have never been so happy during his years in the NBA. However, the fans did not agree with Deron's unprogressive attitude. They lamented his misfortune and were angry that he refused to fight.

You're not Guo Xu. If you don't practice during the holidays, who would dare to ask you?

The same problem also occurred with Kobe. He was very stubborn and did not approach the Lakers management and no longer considered returning to the Lakers. Of course he couldn't go back even if he wanted to, and being rejected would be even more embarrassing.

This year, Kobe needs to try out if he wants to find a job. Currently, only two teams, the Bulls and Celtics, have contacted him. They are both bad teams that have been rebuilt and have almost no possibility of reaching the playoffs. The management of the two teams probably hopes that after Kobe joins, he will help the team rise every other season.

Boston's location is pretty good, but Kobe doesn't want to go. The Greens were the bitter rivals of the Lakers back then, and he believed that joining the Greens would be controversial.

In fact, he thought too much. Lakers fans no longer regarded the Green Army as their opponents. There was nothing to talk about the grievances in the 1980s. The last time these two teams met in the Finals was 1987, 30 years ago.

The Bulls were once Kobe's favorite team. He fantasized about surpassing Jordan there and leading the Bulls to glory. Now that the Bulls are recognized as a bad team, it would be very shameful for him to finish last again.

He is overthinking this. It is news that the team he joins is not at the bottom. No one at the bottom will criticize him anymore. The media has long been accustomed not to report this, and fans do not pay attention to the performance of the bottom team.

It is impossible to retire. Kobe is not far away from Kareem Abdul-Jabbar's regular season scoring record. He wants to break the record before leaving. As long as he plays for a team and averages about 10 points per game, he is expected to break two NBA historical records.

In addition to scoring, he will also set the longest playing record for an NBA player, with a total of 22 seasons. The previous record was held by Robert Parish, Kevin Willis, and Kevin Garnett for 21 seasons.

Kobe felt that if he could not play the best, it would be good to be the player who played the longest. After retiring in the future, people would definitely think of him when they mentioned "Iron Man".

At the end of July,

The Nets made another big move, poaching 76ers forward Danilo Gallinari for $65 million in three years.

The Nets would certainly not have done this before 2010, as Gallinari and James' positions overlapped. In the small ball era, the two could play together, and their positions were unclear. The league will choose to play behind the ball with the ball, and there are very few power forwards who attack the low post.

Gallinari can replace Thaddeus Young, who was poached by the Pacers. The Nets also retained the No. 2 starter Bogdanovic, who will be strong next season. Many experts are optimistic that the Nets will break through from the Eastern Conference, and Paul and James will compete for runner-up.

The movie "John Wick 3" has been completed and Guo Xu has entered the holiday.

The heroine Amber Heard is much busier than Guo Xu. She flew to Australia non-stop and joined the cast of "Aquaman" directed by James Wan to play the role of Mera, the queen of the sea.

The main filming locations for "Aquaman" include Australia's Gold Coast, Sicily, Newfoundland, and Tunisia. The underwater scenes were filmed in Australia.

Amber didn't want to take this movie because the pay was relatively low, but in the end she went for it to save James Wan's face. She won't regret it. The budget of this movie is not high. If James Wan wants to make it well, he can only recruit people from his circle of friends. The second male lead is Patrick Wilson, who he often collaborates with.

Guo Xu returned home and took care of the children every day, and he began to feel empty again.

Being physically tired is a kind of fulfillment; being tired mentally is a kind of emptiness.

Guo Xu felt very tired when coaxing the children. He didn't like children because he always felt that he was still very young and wanted to pursue something exciting. He likes a life with goals and always gives himself a goal, no matter how big or small...

Now he can't find his target, he is invincible and lonely, and his opponent is hard to find.

He has won 13 championships in basketball, ranking first in history in all honors. In the film industry, he became the best actor with "La La Land" and won a bunch of awards after the Oscar. In the music industry, he has won Grammys and numerous music awards, including honorary Grand Slams.

Even more impressive are the stocks held by Guo Xu and the "Fat Fox" Group. He now has a net worth of approximately US$20 billion, ranking 40th on the Forbes list. He is the richest man among athletes and can easily buy an NBA team.

Guo Xu's net worth far exceeds that of the Buss family, which makes money by running the team. It is unprecedented for a player to be richer than the owner.

Guo Xu chatted with his girlfriend and asked them what their future plans were.

Meghan, who is relatively simple-minded, said: "I just want to have a girl now, raise her up, dress up beautifully and go out to play together. How about we take the children to travel around the world together?"

Meghan spends her days dawdling around when she's not filming movies, and her diet is no longer so restrictive. Her thighs have become so fat that they have turned into carrot legs. This is the result of her practicing the longevity method, otherwise she would have become fat long ago.

Daddario also agreed: "I think this is good. The company has been expanding and you don't have to work hard anymore. How about we go to China? I saw that you two had a lot of fun when you went to China in 2001. Let's come too. A makeup trip?"

If people are lazy for a long time, they will develop inertia. The company can be managed by Megan's sister and professional managers. Megan and Daddario are both used to living in a mansion and being rich wives, eating, drinking and having fun every day without any worries.

"Okay, let's go to China and stay for a while to taste the delicious food... Just keep the kids at home, they always get photographed poorly."

Beckham's son Romeo once suffered from epilepsy and may have seizures when he sees flashing lights. Children are not easily stimulated by lights. Chinese groupies are crazy and children are easily frightened.

Guo Xu sighed, as soon as he talked about going out to play, he had the worry of becoming famous. "If I go out, the event can easily turn into a commercial event. No matter which country we go to, we will be contacted by officials. No matter how many bodyguards we bring, we can't have fun like ordinary people."

Even if he doesn't want to make money and just wants to travel like an ordinary person, others will rush to give him money and use his fame to achieve a win-win situation. Only in the parallel world can he find the peace he wants.

When people are ordinary, they try every means to become famous. After becoming famous, they will long for an ordinary life.

Guo Xu began to miss the time loop...
