Legend of Tomorrow

Guo Xu tried to play games all night in the game hall. At six o'clock the next day, a tattoo in the shape of an 8 appeared on the back of his right hand, emitting a light blue light. He returned to the hotel room as soon as he opened his eyes. On the bed, it's six o'clock sharp, and it's April Fool's Day again.

He came to the conclusion that the cycle has nothing to do with sleeping or not, you have to go back with your eyes open.

There is another method that Guo Xu has never dared to try, which is to die. He is worried that if he really dies, the previous efforts will be in vain. It is better to live on April Fool's Day, eating, drinking and having fun.

Later, he started to get in touch with strangers, and asked them to help him brainstorm and find a way to end the cycle when chatting.

On the 380th April Fool's Day, Guo Xu went to a street court in Polis, teamed up with others to play street ball, honed his skills through actual combat, and enjoyed the thrill of beating food at the same time.

Guo Xu visited many street courts, hoping to see if he could meet future NBA players, but he couldn't find any players. He met a future NBA coach, Celtics coach Brad Stevens. s.

The cooperation between Guo Xu and Stevens is very tacit, they can play with and without the ball, and the abused opponent has no temper.

Stevens is 187cm tall and has average physical fitness. He relies on his quotient to play. He is good at protecting the basketball and watching his teammates run.

Guo Xu dribbled the ball and went up on his own. If the opponent did not double-team, it was his scoring performance. When someone came to double-team Guo Xu, he gave the ball to Stevens who was running without the ball. , The rhythm of playing is very good, and he can also score.

Stevens, who was born on October 22, 1976, is now a 23-year-old sunny guy with a shy smile and at the peak of his appearance. Even if he is the coach of the Celtics when he is 40 years old in the future, he will look like a Hollywood star, wearing glasses and looking like a gentle scum. It is said that after Stevens took office, the number of female Celtics fans increased sharply.

Guo Xu's appearance is also at the level of a Hollywood movie star. The two of them gathered together in a team and attracted many female fans to watch from the sidelines and applaud.

Streetball does not keep score or time. If someone is tired from playing, they go down to rest, and the audience on the sidelines can play if they want to play. Everyone else had rested, but Guo Xu played until five o'clock in the afternoon in one breath, a full three hours, with amazing physical strength.

Stevens, who was waiting for him on the sidelines, said hello, Hi, I know that's a bit presumptuous...

Guo Xu interrupted him by raising his hand. No problem, Brad, let's have dinner together tonight. Let's find a place to take a shower first. It's not welcome to go to the restaurant with stinky sweat.

Stevens froze, how did he know my name was Brad? You also know that I want to have dinner with him?

The two had eaten several times, and Guo Xu knew what Stevens wanted to say, so he couldn't let him say it.

What if Stevens had said it all: Hey, I know this is a bit presumptuous...we've only just met...but can I invite you to dinner tonight and leave a contact number?

Then the female audience next to them cast doubtful eyes on them, Stevens' GAY was GAY! Guo Xu thought he was the number one straight man in the universe in both lives, so he couldn't get used to this kind of tone of voice.

The two exchanged calls first, and made an appointment to meet at the steak restaurant that Guo Xu often went to. Guo Xu went back to the hotel to take a shower and changed into casual clothes and went out. Both of them arrived at their destination five minutes earlier, and they shook hands vigorously when they met.

Stevens is different from Richardson. His IQ is so high that Guo Xu suspects that this guy is actually a time-traveler. As long as Guo Xu didn't pay attention to what he was talking about, and showed a little bit of clues, Stevens would find it strange and ask questions.

Jason, how do you know my name? I'm sure today is the first time we met. And this restaurant requires a reservation for dinner. You didn't leave the stadium until 5 o'clock, but now you have a seat reservation, which is unreasonable. Shi Stevens asked.

Guo Xu told him the truth directly.

Because I am a person who traveled back from the future and was trapped in a time loop. This is not the first time we have played ball, nor is it the first time we have eaten. I know you want to invite me to a Chinese restaurant that you like very much. Keep the chicken, but I prefer the steak at this shop.

Stevens had a hellish expression on his face. He guessed several possibilities, but he didn't expect to hear this kind of answer.

His brain froze a bit, and it took a minute before he asked again: How is this possible?

Guo Xu first skillfully ordered the signature dishes in the store, and when the waiter left, he smiled and said, You want to make friends with me, because you think we are the same kind of people, and we both love basketball. You are right. This is not The first time we had a conversation, you could put your hands behind your back and draw a number with your fingers, and I'll tell you what that number is.

Stevens thought about it, and complied. Tell me, a few fingers.

Without raising his head, Guo Xu said lazily, You are clenching your fists. This is the first time you have fooled me with this trick.

Son of a bitch! What you said is actually true?! Stevens, who has always been a gentleman, cursed and quickly accepted the fact.

After high school, Stevens attended the academically-focused DePauw University, where he studied while playing for the school's basketball team, earned a bachelor's degree in economics, and worked for Eli Lilly after graduation.

Now is the most confusing time for Stevens. His family hopes that he can work hard and make money, and it is best to work in Eli Lilly for the rest of his life, but Stevens wants to resign and do basketball-related work. That is him. Like to do.

You come from the future... Then have I succeeded in the future? Have I become an NBA coach? Stevens' shoulders trembled slightly with excitement, and he suddenly shook his head violently. No, don't tell me about the future. If I know the future now, it won't be interesting.

Guo Xu smiled and said: Don't worry, if my friend doesn't want to know the plot of the movie, I will never give him a spoiler. In fact, it doesn't matter if I tell him. You will forget that you met me tomorrow morning. You are destined to succeed, even if Not in basketball.

In Guo Xu’s previous life, in the summer of 2000, Stevens resigned from his high-paying job as the head of marketing operations at Eli Lilly and joined Butler University as an unpaid basketball volunteer. He lived in a friend's basement, volunteered and worked in a restaurant to make ends meet, that's how he was.

Hard work pays off. Stevens began to serve as the head coach of Butler University in 2007. In 2010 and 2011, he led the team to the NCAA Finals for two consecutive years. In 2013, he began coaching the Boston Celtics.

This guy has a life like a hang-up, not a time traveler, but a time traveler. How can an ordinary person become the director of marketing operations of a famous pharmaceutical company at the age of 23? He is a true genius.

After Guo Xu got acquainted with Stevens, he confirmed that he was not reborn or time-traveled, but that this person's IQ was too high and his reaction was too fast. A high IQ can be transformed into a golf quotient, and his quick response gives him amazing on-the-spot adaptability. He is limited in physical fitness and strength in playing, but he is born to be a coach.

I don't remember seeing you? Then why did you find me? Stevens was a little confused.

I need your help. You are the smartest person I know now who understands basketball.
