Legend of Tomorrow

Guo Xu was in no hurry to leave the park, found a bench to rest, and called his roommate.

Jason, I want to let you know that the coach has announced that there is no need for training today. I've already gone out to play. You should sleep in at the hotel. Guo Xu said seriously.

What? Jason Richardson on the other end of the phone was surprised and immediately woke up.

The scandal of NCAA bribery and illegal recruitment broke out last night. People involved in the case, including Adidas executives and Wisconsin coaches, were arrested. Dick Bennett was implicated. He must be dismissed from the school. So, we directly Made it to the finals. Guo Xu continued to babble.

Really? Richardson excited.

Guo Xu changed his words: Fake, today is April Fool's Day, get up and meet at the entrance of the arena for breakfast.

Fifteen minutes later, the two met outside the training hall. It was less than eight o'clock, and there was enough time for dinner.

Richardson greeted with a smile: Guo, why didn't you call me when you went out?

Richardson grew up in East Lansing, and grew up with Guo Xu. Since both of them are called Jason in English, he is usually called Guo Xu's Chinese surname to distinguish them.

Although they share the same name, their images are quite different. Guo Xu is a handsome handsome guy who can be called a little fresh meat; Richardson was also born in 1981. He looks like a middle-aged man with a beard. His The facial features are very wide, the distance between the eyes and the eyebrows is wide, the nose is broad, and the corners of the mouth almost reach the earlobe when he smiles. He is ugly at first glance, but he is a good-tempered person.

Richardson is two laps thicker than Guo Xu, with a height of 198cm and a weight of 100kg. He is the strongest man in the team, with a maximum bench press of 120kg. He often plays power forward in games. In his rookie season in college, he averaged 16.3 points, 9 rebounds and 2 assists per game. He was a terrible mess and was the team's second scorer.

I woke up at six o'clock, and I can't bear to disturb your sweet dreams. God, I really don't want to think about that scene. Can you stop lying down when you sleep? Guo Xu thought of the hot-eyed scene and shook his head vigorously.

Richardson laughed: Haha, I found out that you seem to be a different person after that elbow. You are more talkative and can joke. Lying is as good as the truth. Just now, I really thought that there was no need to fight in the semifinals.

You also believe this? Guo Xu shrugged. That elbow made me think about a lot of things. While I'm still alive, I need to talk more.

Haha, it's not such an exaggeration. Richardson put his arms around Guo Xu's shoulders and asked with a smile, Yesterday you treated guests, today I treat you, how about going to eat Chinese food?

OK.

When the two were in middle school, they went to school together in the morning, went home together in the evening, and were good buddies when they went out. The personality of the predecessor and Richardson are very different, but after rebirth, they can talk even more.

The friendship between men develops very quickly. Two people who don't know each other have a glass of wine, maybe they will hand over their lives to each other in the future, and live and die together! Many bandits in Liangshan are like this, and in the United States, there are also many bold old blacks.

Guo Xu likes Richardson, not because he will be an NBA star and dunk king in the future, but because he is easy to get along with, has no temper, no airs, is the pistachio in the team, a funny B.

If the coach is not watching the training from the sidelines, Richardson will do some unbelievable things on the court, which is completely inconsistent with his future cool image.

He likes to use fancy moves on the street court, and he never tires of it, although he rarely succeeds in scoring goals. When he served the baseline ball, he often deliberately threw the ball on the ass of the person, bounced it into his hand, and then shot it.

He catches the ball under the basket, has the stunt of tucking the ball in his crotch, makes fake moves with his hands empty, and then takes the ball and makes a real shot.

He invented a slam dunk action called walking in the air. He jumps forward with all his feet in front of the frame, kicks his legs like riding a bicycle when he is in the air, holds the ball with both hands as if he is holding a handlebar, and dunks the ball into the basket when he is about to fall. basket. Not many people on this planet can do this.

But there is no beauty, purely funny.

What surprised Guo Xu the most was that Richardson likes to exaggerately imitate the playing movements of stars, and he learns well. If youtube appeared a few years ago, he might have become an Internet celebrity before he entered the NBA. A generation of imitation emperor.

In life, Richardson has a bad mouth, likes to babble, tell bad jokes, he laughs before others laugh, and his smile is extremely low.

In short, no matter how you look at it, he has nothing to do with the word cool at present.

Unfamiliar with the place, the two randomly chose a small Chinese restaurant nearby and sat down in a spacious seat.

The young Chinese waitress came to serve her. She only glanced at Guo Xu and felt a little embarrassed. She asked, What do you want?

Richardson asked back: Do you have any special dishes to recommend?

Our Saturday special, tofu burger. The waitress smiled and pointed to the menu on the wall.

Okay, four hamburgers. Guo Xu knew that Richardson's family situation was similar to his own. Although there was no pressure in life, there was no need to spend too much on breakfast.

After a while, the waiter brought up the burgers, plus a glass of water for each person. This is the first time for Guo Xu to eat this kind of vegetarian burger, and the taste is much better than expected, as expected of a restaurant opened by a Chinese.

The chef pan-fries a round pancake-shaped tofu until golden, then wraps it in a bun, topped with wakame and drizzled with teriyaki sauce. This way it tastes like tofu. When you take a bite, it is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. Moreover, the burger has a little mustard added to it, which has a very special taste. The two agreed together.

After taking a few bites, Richardson asked, How did you practice this morning? Did you get back your touch?

No, no empty seats are allowed. Guo Xu smiled.

Then you can still laugh?

Guo Xu swallowed a mouthful of the hamburger and said lazily: Even if I have a sad face, I can't change the reality. There is a saying in China that a car must find a road when it reaches the mountain, and a boat will naturally go straight when it reaches the bridge. It means that when the problem comes, there will always be a solution. Methods.

Richardson sighed. The coach will definitely let Jack play against you today. If you are beaten by him again, it will be difficult to get a chance to play tomorrow.

Guo Xuhun didn't care: I played poorly, and I should not play, but that guy had better not mess with me, I've put up with him twice.

Jack Layman, a white point guard with a height of 187cm and a weight of 85kg, is a first-year rookie and mainly competes with Guo Xu for playing time. Due to Lehman's poor three-point shooting and similar playing style to Cliffs, the coach rarely lets him play, and he thinks that his overall ability is better than Guo Xu's, so he has always disliked Guo Xu.

Wherever there are people, there are conflicts of interest, and there are struggles. Recently, Guo Xu is not in a good state, and Lehman seizes the opportunity to make trouble.

Guo Xu was targeted by Lehman in both training sessions, sarcasm off the court, and singled out with the ball on the court. He had just been reborn before, and he didn't want people to see that his personality had changed drastically, so he suppressed his anger. If the other party does this again, he will find a way to fight back.

Richardson frowned slightly: Don't be impulsive, this is not the time for infighting.

Of course, I just need you to do me a small favor...

Ten minutes later, after eating two hamburgers, Guo Xu felt better because of the mustard nose.

Richardson gave it a thumbs up as he paid. I didn't expect tofu burgers to be so delicious.

Welcome again. The waitress smiled brightly.

We will come tomorrow. Guo Xu returned the other party with a smile. He loves good food and has to come back again. After finishing the game on the 4th at the latest, they will return to Michigan, and they will have to wait until the Year of the Monkey to come to this city again.
