After the Western Conference Finals ended, Guoyang was busy with various activities.
He went to San Francisco to receive an award, returned to Beiqiao High School to give lectures and participate in events, and attended the opening ceremony of the San Francisco Chinese basketball training camp, where Avia provided all the equipment and gear.
He visited Mr. Kap, seeking advice on his future tactics and playstyle—Mr. Kap suggested Guoyang could benefit from shedding some weight to maintain agility, "on the condition that Portland finds a reliable backup center."
He learned how to make Southern barbecue from Nate-Sermonde, who had an idea to open a restaurant; however, he was still very happy working with The Warriors.
Dragged by Gan Youwei, Guoyang was taught two additional Gan's cuisine dishes, one soft-shell turtle and one lotus-leaf chicken. Guoyang had learned many Gan's dishes but still couldn't figure out which cuisine their family's dishes actually belonged to.
