Legend of Tomorrow

In the afternoon, Guo Xu did not participate in group activities and called Jason Richardson to go to the street court with him. He wants to fulfill his promise to Brad Stevens and get to know the future young coach.

Two people with NBA ability played street ball, which was a feast for the eyes of the spectators on the sidelines.

Richardson had five dunks, one of which was an alley-oop one-handed windmill with a flat head; Guo Xu was the core of the offense, passing his opponents time and time again, scoring himself or assisting his teammates.

The two players only played for 20 minutes and then ended up playing. There would be no sense of achievement if they continued to play.

Brad Stevens followed him off the court and took the initiative to get close to him: You two are NCAA players, right? Will you participate in the NBA draft this year?

Guo Xu replied: We are from Michigan State University. It's not a big surprise. We will participate in the draft.

Richardson looked at Guo Xu doubtfully. Do you want to enter the draft this year?

He knows that Guo Xu is in frighteningly good condition now, but his overall statistics are average, and it is too reluctant to participate in the NBA draft.

Guo Xu nodded and said seriously: It's not a joke, and I suggest you also participate. With your physical condition, your ranking will definitely not be lower. We will definitely win the championship this year. This is the pinnacle of the NCAA. Is it possible not to participate this year? Do you want to win the championship again next year? Enter the NBA early, make money early, and the team will focus on training you because of your young age.

Stevens interjected: I think what he said makes sense. NBA teams attach great importance to the age of players. The treatment of 18-year-old candidates and 22-year-old candidates is different, unless the older rookies perform amazingly and become stars as soon as they enter the NBA. , like Tim Duncan.

Guo Xu came to see Stevens, so naturally he would not ignore him. He smiled and said: You have good passing awareness and running position, and your shooting is accurate. You are also an NCAA player, right? My name is Jason Guo, and this is Jason Richardson.

Brad Stevens, nice to meet you. I played in the NCAA and am now one year out of college. Stevens shook hands with Guo Xu. Can I ask what grade you are in?

They are all first graders. I am 18 years old now, 19 years old at the end of November, and he is 19 years old now. Guo Xu called Richardson to the street court for the first time. This conversation was very fresh.

Stevens did not expect that they were all freshmen. At such a high level, they would definitely be able to play in the NBA. The upper limit was not low.

Richardson asked: I will participate this year. Your previous data were too poor. Can you be selected?

Guo Xu said seriously: Yes, as long as you pass the ball to me more and convert the balls I pass to you into assists. If I get the MOP, it doesn't matter if the previous data is different. Are you willing to help?

Richardson nodded without much thought: No problem, I'll help you.

Richardson is not the kind of player who is suitable to be the boss. He is selfless and does not fight. The most successful people in the NBA are always those who are competitive and like to compete with others, whether with opponents or teammates.

As a friend, Richardson is very loyal, which is not a good thing for himself.

At this time, Stevens asked: Can you sign it for me? I can brag to my friends in the future and say that I played street ball with two NBA stars.

Of course, you can take a group photo. Tell me your ICQ number or email account and I'll send you the photo. Guo Xu said with a smile, so the two of them naturally connected. It was when he and Stevens were in the loop. It was agreed upon.

Richardson bought a digital camera and loves photography. He takes photos wherever he goes and will not refuse requests for group photos.

With the help of female fans on the sidelines, the three took many photos together. Guo Xu was secretly happy: If we meet in the NBA in the future, as long as Stevens' future does not change, I can also tell my friends that I have signed an autograph for the head coach of the Celtics. This must be funny and make for a joke.

Guo Xu thinks it is a good habit for Richardson to bring a camera when he goes out.

He will also buy a digital camera to take with him in the future and take photos with young future stars whenever he meets them.

After having something for dinner and returning to the hotel, Guo Xu went to bed early to see if he could dream after falling asleep and whether tomorrow would be April 2.

As a result, he dreamed of dancing tango with Molly Evans, going to nightclubs to dance mechanical dance, Latin dance, playing tennis, football, boxing, golf, etc...

All kinds of trivial fragments filled his mind, making him feel a little confused. He was woken up by Richardson and slept until after eight o'clock. Moreover, he didn't sleep well and was a little tired.

Guo Xu looked at his watch and jumped up from the bed excitedly, waving his fists vigorously. Okay! Great! Hahaha, today is April 2nd! Oh yeah!

The time loop finally ended, and he was so happy that he almost cried.

He learned a lot of things, ate a lot of delicious food, and did some things he wouldn't dare to do in reality, but the feeling of being surrounded by NPCs all over the world was really unpleasant. Now he finally no longer has to listen to repeated words and do repeated things.

What's there to be happy about on April 2nd? Aren't you nervous at all in tonight's semifinals? Richardson didn't sleep well last night because he was afraid of losing the game if he didn't perform well.

There is nothing to worry about. We will definitely win tonight. Guo Xu had never taken the University of Wisconsin seriously, not even a player he had heard of in his previous life.

Oh, I'm starting at power forward. Richardson sighed.

Tom Izzo's plan was small ball, with Richardson defending the paint against guys bigger than him. In the past, Izzo often arranged this way, after leading by a big score, which is why Richardson averaged a high number of rebounds per game.

After Guo Xu finished washing, he said to Richardson who entered the bathroom: I think there is no harm in listening to the coach. Even in the NBA, your physical condition is most suitable for playing forward. Your movement speed will be an advantage, and you can Pulling out to shoot the ball has a big effect.

Izzo often teaches Richardson, trying to transform him into an all-around swingman rather than a shooting guard. Going in this direction is not necessarily a bad thing.

In Guo Xu's previous life, NBA power forwards were getting shorter and shorter, and small ball tactics were the general trend.

Shawn Marion is currently just a rookie who has just joined the Suns. He has played power forward and has been selected to the All-Stars many times; Carmelo Anthony has played power forward for several seasons and is extremely efficient; after 2010, he has been selected as an All-Star. Even Chuck Hayes, who is 198CM, can play center forward, and the Warriors Draymond Green is actually less than two meters tall.

Richardson has a dream of his own. Don't be kidding, my idol is Jordan. I am also 198cm, with extraordinary jumping. In the future, I will wear No. 23 and play shooting guard.

The time loop is over, and Guo Xu is unwilling to pour cold water on him. Let alone becoming the successor of Jordan, he is not even ranked among the top ten players in the league wearing No. 23. Jordan's personality is also an important factor for success. He would never agree to help his teammates win the best player. The Bulls won six consecutive championships and the finals MVPs are all Jordan's.

Guo Xu will not express these thoughts for the time being. He likes Richardson's character and needs his help at present. After both of them enter the NBA and Richardson has hit a snag, he will try to persuade him to make a transition.
