Legend of Tomorrow

When it comes to time travel, everyone probably thinks of the classic sci-fi movie Back to the Future. Marty drives a car that can travel through time and space back to the past, and then back to the future with the help of a young doctor who invented the time machine.

Finding smart people to help is the way out, so Guo Xu found Brad Stevens.

During the meal, Guo Xu talked about his current situation and some about Stevens' future. Knowing that he would not remember these things, Stevens did not stop Guo Xu from spoiling.

The previous few times, Guo Xu didn't go into such details, because he needed to know something about Stevens first, to convince the other party that he was a person in the time loop, and he was willing to help out with ideas.

He knew that he was not a god in the time loop, because he couldn't control other people's thoughts. Unlike Richardson, Stevens had just met Guo Xu, so he had no reason or obligation to help.

Stevens became more surprised as he listened: I became the head coach of the Celtics in 2013 and reached the Eastern Conference Finals twice. I led a guard with a height of 175 cm. He averaged 29 points in only 34 minutes per game. Assist, how is this possible? How did he do it with his size? Isn’t his efficiency too high?”

Guo Xu explained: In the future, the league will enter the era of small ball. Teams will switch offense and defense much faster than now. Almost all teams will score more than 100 points per game by relying on offense. Averaging a triple-double in two seasons.

Thunder? Is it a newly established team? How many teams will there be in the NBA in the future? Stevens asked.

Guo Xu answered fluently. Thirty teams, 15 teams in the East and West. The Thunder is the team that was renamed after the Supersonics moved to Oklahoma City. The new team is called the Charlotte Bobcats. They entered the NBA in 2004. Michael Jordan will later become this team. The owner of the team.

Stevens took a deep breath. These are developments that modern people dare not imagine, but the future is indeed possible. Okay, I trust you completely, how can I help you?

Guo Xu explained the guessed conditions for ending the loop, and asked Stevens to help him think about what he had overlooked.

Stevens pondered for a moment, then smiled and said, So, you are stuck on April Fool's Day now? I think you can definitely play in the NBA now, or even the strength of a lottery pick.

Guo Xu shrugged, unable to deny it. Then why do you think the cycle continues?

Stevens drank coffee, watched Guo Xu eating dessert, mango cream cheese cake, and asked with a smile, Is it okay for you to eat so much at night? As an athlete, how do you keep in shape?

Dude, this is the happiest thing for me. No matter how much I eat, my body shape will not change, and I will not get sick. Guo Xu smiled bitterly and said, I can't pass April Fool's Day. My biggest hobby is eating. Do you want to come? Dot? I think sweets help with thinking.

My mother has diabetes. In order to avoid heredity, I rarely eat sweets. Stevens shook his head and said with a smile: I have some ideas. The condition for you to leave the time loop is probably not the ability to participate in the draft, but the ability to participate in the draft. Definitely will be selected.

Guo Xu sighed: This is a paradox. If I don't leave the cycle, no one will know my strength, and my overall statistics this season are very poor. Looking at the statistics, not many teams are interested in me, right?

Stevens took a sip of his coffee, looked into Guo Xu's eyes, and said slowly: Aren't there still two games? As long as you finish these two games, you will get the MOP (Most Player Award) in the Final Four. , There will definitely be teams paying attention to you. I think you should try to understand your opponents now and play well in the semi-finals. The more beautiful the data, the better.

This was a topic that the two hadn't talked about before. After changing to a different restaurant, Stevens got to the point. Guo Xu immediately realized that he was on the edge of a dead end. He had been working hard to improve his physical fitness and compete with his teammates to improve his skills, but he forgot to study his opponents.

ncaa is a game to determine the outcome,

The mop is generally the best player in the finals, whoever breaks out will get the mop. This award is a bit like the FMVP of the NBA Finals.

To be successful in the NCAA, you must be an excellent system player, be able to execute tactics, and perfectly integrate with the team, so MOP has a lot of chance. For example, in Guo Xu's previous life, Chalmers won the MOP in 2008, but his strength could not be compared with Rose, Westbrook and other defenders at all, and he was selected in the second round of the draft.

In any case, the player who gets the MOP will increase the exposure rate. So far, no MOP has been lost in the draft.

Guo Xu inserted a piece of cake and said excitedly: You are so right. I am still very unfamiliar with players from the University of Wisconsin and Florida. If I am right, I will definitely not be able to perform so well. My chances of getting the MOP are slim. They will not pay attention to me. On the contrary, if I use the time loop to understand the opponent, it will be very easy to fight, and it will be difficult not to win the prize.

Have you ever thought of doing this before? Stevens asked.

Guo Xu shook his head. The training of each team is separate, and we can't meet each other. The University of Florida is on our field, training in the afternoon, and the University of Wisconsin is in the training hall on the other side of the city. It is difficult for me to visit their training, and it is even more difficult to join in and practice with them. So I didn't think about it.

Then what are you going to do? Stevens was curious. It's impossible for them to let outsiders participate in the training. At this time, your training is also closed, right?

Stevens was also a member of the college team. Not to mention the juncture of the Final Four, even if it is not the NCAA tournament, the team will not allow outsiders to participate in training. Almost all those who can join the school team are special recruits with scholarships. Once the opponent knows the reality of the team in the competition, it may mean losing.

A recognizable player like Guo Xuchang is afraid that he will be kicked out by his opponent as soon as he enters the stadium. Even if each team wants to send out scouts to understand their opponents, they still have to find an unremarkable talent.

Guo Xu ate a piece of cake, and after a moment of silence, he smiled and said: It's just a college team training, and the defense cannot be as strict as an NBA team. As long as I think about it, I can definitely know their tactics. It is not impossible to play together. I've come up with an interesting idea. Thank you Brad, you've been a great help in giving me clarity.

You're welcome, if only I could remember something, if you don't take the initiative to find me, I won't know you tomorrow, right? Stevens laughed.

Don't worry, I will take the initiative to find you after the cycle is over. In the future, we may have the opportunity to cooperate in the NBA. I will enter the NBA many years before you. If everything goes well, I will become the star of a team. , I can recommend you to the management and let you enter the NBA as a coach earlier. This is a win-win situation, and I know you will be a super coach in the future.

The two hit it off and hit it off, and Guo Xu wanted to make this friend.

Are we going to set a signal? Like a finger behind the back? Stevens asked with a laugh.

Don't be so troublesome, you must know how to surf the Internet, right? What's the ICQ number? I'll add you in the future.

...

Guo Xu has a great sense of achievement in changing people's fate. He speaks from his heart. After Popovich retires, Stevens is likely to be the best coach in the NBA.
