Legend of Tomorrow

Guo Xu and Megan first applied for Chinese visas, and then worked with their agent Happy Waters to recruit accompanying staff.

Happy will also travel to China together this time, otherwise Guo Xu may encounter some commercial traps and even advertise for free without even realizing it. This kind of thing happens all over the world.

Guo Xu knew about this kind of thing. For example, international football superstar Ronaldo worked as a free spokesperson for the private company Golden Throat. He didn't even know that he had been laughing on Chinese screens for several years.

They first recruited two bodyguards, one was a Chinese female bodyguard, her English name was Elena, her Chinese name was Zhao Qi, and she could speak Chinese. The other is a big white man, 188cm tall, named Gary Voss.

Finally, Guo Xu found an accompanying makeup artist and photographer, who were introduced by Chinese director Huang Yiyu.

The make-up artist is the apprentice of the old make-up artist on the crew of Cosmic Command, named Claire Taylor.

How strong is Hollywood's makeup skills? To describe it as a makeover is not an exaggeration at all. If Guo Xu wants to dress up as an old man, a middle-aged man or a woman, he can easily do it. For example, in the Hollywood comedy movie Miss White, the black police officers played by the Wayans brothers were made up to look like white girls to handle cases.

25-year-old Claire's makeup level is as high as that of a disguise artist. She is usually a beautiful woman, but when she takes off her makeup when she comes home, she looks like a different person. This is basically the effect she will have when taking photos with beautiful pictures in the future.

The white photographer is named Kevin Nance. He is 180cm tall. He is unprepossessing and not famous, but he is very professional.

Before leaving, Guo Xu went to meet Megan's fat aunt once, and also talked on the phone with Megan's parents about traveling abroad, and they both agreed. Meghan's parents have been staying in Port St. Lucie and have not been seen. They are afraid that saying too much will affect their development, and they both hope that their daughter will find a rich husband.

Guo Xu felt that Megan was miserable, just like him, he was wandering alone in Los Angeles without his family around. I left East Lansing last year when I was 18. She was left to fend for herself when she was only 15. This kind of education is really rare.

After everyone had applied for their visas and everything was ready, it was already July and the NBA summer free market had begun.

The league soon had two huge bad contracts.

The Kings renewed Chris Webber's contract for seven years and $123 million, the total amount second only to the six-year $126 million that the Timberwolves signed with Garnett in 1998.

Webber has one more year than Garnett and seems to be relatively cheap. However, the Kings management ignored the fact that Webber has serious injury risks and is a glass man.

He will be dead soon.

What’s even more outrageous is that the Knicks gave “CIC King” Alan Houston a six-year, $100 million contract extension. This is the ultimate bad contract and it's completely unclear what is going on in the manager's head. A pitcher who can only score, and is mainly a mid-range pitcher, has an annual salary similar to that of Webber, one of the four forwards.

Last season, Houston averaged only 18.7 points, 3.6 rebounds and 2.2 assists per game, shooting 44.9% from the field and 38.1% from three-point range. His previous peak data was only 19.7 points per game.

Some New York fans on the Internet suggested that the Knicks give up Houston, free up salary space, and use the maximum salary to poach Jason Guo in 2002. This suggestion was approved by many fans, but unfortunately it did not include the Knicks management.

Then, the Knicks signed a five-year, $27.5 million contract with the Cavaliers' pudgy power forward Clarence Witherspoon, giving fans who had beautiful illusions a hard slap in the face. It proves beneficially that the management is a bunch of lunatics.

The Knicks management still feels that they have made a profit, because Witherspoon played in 82 games last season and averaged 11.3 points and 9.7 rebounds per game. As for the Cavaliers' shitty record, and the fat man is 198cm tall and weighs 120kg, he almost never guards. The Knicks completely ignored the pick-and-roll.

In addition to the two teams above being more popular, the Lakers are the absolute protagonists of the offseason, because almost all veterans at the end of their careers want to join the Lakers, and there are also some players who are in their prime and cannot get big contracts due to various reasons. join in.

This happens every summer. Veterans want to join a strong team and play for a championship before the end of their careers, at the cost of earning a lot less money.

The Lakers won the championship with an overwhelming advantage last season and broke two historical records. The only team that veterans can choose is the Lakers. Unlike in previous years, many teams with the strength to compete for the championship divided their veterans.

Under such circumstances, there are a large number of players who have recommended themselves to the Lakers, which is almost overwhelming the threshold. The Lakers management only needs to hold a meeting to study and select the players who are most suitable for the Lakers.

This is bad news for the fringe player Pan Pesi. The Lakers made it clear that they will not renew his contract. He has no choice but to participate in the summer league again and play preseason games for other teams in the new season to work hard for a basic salary.

In addition, Lakers veteran Ron Harper retired and Grant and Foster left, leaving a total of four spots in the team.

The Lakers' first signing shocked the entire league. They signed The Rock Mitch Richmond with a minimum veteran salary and will serve as Kobe's substitute in the new season. This swingman is famous, averaging 20+ per game in many seasons and being selected to the All-Star Game six times. However, he was injured and only played 37 games last season, and his status is questionable.

Richmond no longer cares about money. He is willing to play on the margins just for a championship ring.

Free agent center Patrick King Kong Ewing was a little moved when he saw this scene, but as a senior center in the top four, he couldn't bear to go to the Lakers to embrace O'Neal's thigh, so he chose to sign with the Magic with an annual salary of 2 million the next day. .

It's a person like Ewing who wants to save face and suffer. As long as he puts himself forward, Kupchak will 80% sign him. This is a good gimmick, with two major centers fighting side by side. Unfortunately, Ewing gave up his last chance to win a championship ring.

In Guo Xu's previous life, Karl Malone was more determined than Ewing for the ring and joined the Lakers, but unfortunately he was slapped in the face.

The Lakers' second signing was another value-for-money contract. They won 3 million in two years and won the No. 9 rookie of the golden generation in 1996, power forward Samakhi Walker.

Samaki is 206cm tall and weighs 109kg. He has super physical fitness. Because of this, he was ranked higher than Kobe Bryant. He played two seasons with the Spurs and his performance as a substitute was average. Last season, he averaged 15.8 minutes per game, 5.3 points, 4 rebounds, 0.5 assists and 0.7 blocks.

Although the statistics are average, the contract is worth it based on Samaki's athletic ability alone. He can share playing time with Horry.

Samaki was actually convinced by the Lakers last season. If I can't beat you, I'll join you. This kind of thing happened in 2001.

The Lakers' third pick was given to swingman Jim Jackson, who was still in his prime, for a minimum salary. He can play as a substitute at positions 2 and 3, has excellent three-point accuracy, and also has the ability to attack with the ball.

After the Mavericks and Kidd fell out, Jim became a famous homeless man in the NBA. In Guo Xu's previous life, he never joined the Lakers and was originally going to wander to other teams. Last season, he averaged 11.5 points, 4 rebounds and 2.9 assists per game.

The Lakers did not rush to decide on the last spot and rejected Tim Hardaway. There is no shortage of players at any position.

Guo Xu and Fisher at No. 1 are the strongest depth in the league, and occasionally Brian Shaw can make a cameo. Now the Lakers are so strong that it's scary to watch.

Guo Xu did not attend the press conference for his new teammate, and flew directly from Los Angeles to Shanghai with his two bodyguards, agent, makeup artist, and Megan to travel.
