Legend of Tomorrow

At around nine o'clock, Guo Xu entered the stadium and greeted his teammates who were arriving one after another.

The atmosphere in the Suns team is very good, especially the relationship between the four strong men of similar age inside has become very strong. They spent a lot of energy and energy fighting passionately together for two months, and shot a very memorable short video, which was stored in their respective computers.

213CM's blue-collar center Dessaguena-Diop arrived earlier, and Guo Xu took the initiative to greet him.

Compared with O'Neal, Diop's body shape is relatively well-proportioned, his arms are very long, and his legs are not as thick as O'Neal, but his shoulders are extra wide and his back is also very thick.

This super hunk from Senegal will not be 22 years old until the end of January next year. He has dark and shiny skin, a very festive face, eyebrows with splayed eyebrows, and a silly smile than Nene, revealing a very white face. Mouth with crooked teeth.

Diop was obviously not taken seriously by his parents as a child. When children are 6 to 12 years old, they are in the alternation period between deciduous and permanent teeth. The arrangement of teeth is often misaligned, which is medically called temporary malocclusion. Guo Xu also had this situation when he was a child. His family took him to the dentist and the teeth in the front were extracted. The teeth that were originally crooked in the back slowly moved to the front.

Can I call you Sage? Do you like this nickname? Guo Xu asked with a smile.

Okay, it was a little weird at first... Diop said with a silly smile.

When they were practicing together, three teammates gave him the nickname Big Sager, which was simplified from his name. People with long names in the United States usually have abbreviations, but this is not the custom in Africa. To put it bluntly, they are called randomly.

Guo Xu looked at him and saw that he didn't look like 127 kilograms. He asked, Are you thinner than last season?

Did you see? I have lost 122 kilograms. Diop whispered shyly. He has a very honest character. He successfully lost weight under the guidance of his teammates in the summer. He does whatever others say. Haslem is now a weight loss expert.

Diop reached 135 kilograms when he was at his heaviest with the Cavaliers. He rarely had the opportunity to play. Everyone said that he was a parallel import. Sometimes he could not sleep at all when he came home from games and could not help but cry secretly.

This weight is perfect for him now, his mobility has increased, and his strength is still not weak.

No matter how big he is, Diop was only a 19-year-old young man when he first entered the league and received a lot of excitement in the Cavaliers. He was very happy to join the Suns. Guo Xu called to chat with him and clearly told him that he was here to be a defensive blue-collar worker and that he only needed to do what he was good at and that he would not pass the ball to him on the offensive end.

Diop is also a weirdo. He only started to officially contact basketball when he was 16 years old.

You can imagine how poor his basic skills are. The Cavaliers coaching staff tried to develop his offense, but not only failed, but they also made him suffer from shooting phobia.

In Guo Xu's previous life, Diop played in the NBA for 12 seasons, playing for four teams and playing a total of 601 games. His total career score was 1,138 points, which is roughly equivalent to half a season of Kobe Bryant's score in 2005. He is so fresh and refined. .

He has set a series of magical records, averaging less than 2 points per game; his career high score in a single game is 10 points; he has not scored a point in a total of 258 games, ranking first in NBA history; as an inside player, his career shooting percentage is 42% , free throw percentage was 46%.

The scene became more lively when Nene arrived. Stoudemire said that Nene had practiced English very well during the holidays and asked him to perform a rap to prove it.

Nene actually sang a few lines. Although her voice was very rough, she received applause from everyone.

Lagabell quickly got along with his teammates after arriving. His appearance is handsome and unrestrained among black people, and he easily leaves a good impression on people.

Marion chatted with James Jones for a while and recognized his younger brother. The two were very similar in stature, with a bit of a hunchback and super long arms. The difference was that Jones's neck was 2cm longer than Marion's, which led to their height difference. Otherwise, Just brothers...

When Josh Howard greeted Marion, both of them smiled happily, probably thinking the same thing. Finally, I am not the ugliest person on the team.

Regardless of draft or trade, Brian follows one principle, which is not to look for problem players. There will be basically no conflicts in the Suns locker room, and the players get along well with each other, which is a major advantage.

At 10 o'clock, reporters entered the court, and the players took core makeup photos. Guo Xu stood in the middle holding a basketball, flanked by Marion, Nene, Stoudemire, and Joe Johnson. The four strong men were posing together.

The Suns have a very deep lineup. If these five players are all in their prime, other teams will basically have no need to play and just surrender.

During the interview, everyone had the same tone and expressed confidence in competing for the championship this season.

Guo Xu was interviewed by the most reporters. Someone asked: You didn't practice for nearly three months during the holidays. Will this affect your condition?

No, I'm confident.

The reporter asked: Most of the stars train very hard. Even Michael Jordan had to practice extra during the holidays, but you went to film a love movie. Some people said that you are not doing your job properly. How do you feel about this?

Guo Xu smiled and said: When Jordan went to play baseball, some people said that he was not doing his job properly. He came back and won three championships. The strength of the players is ultimately determined by their results. I have no special feelings.

Guo Xu didn't even bother to answer this question. He also used Jordan as an example to deal with it.

It is normal for stars to train hard several times during the holidays in order to break out next season, but it is impossible for players to do nothing else except exercise and play basketball. That is not called hard work, that is called a robot.

Jordan has retired, but many people still like to use him as an example to ridicule current players, saying that his training level is unparalleled. Most of his achievements are achieved due to hard training, which is beyond everyone currently in the game.

Jordan is indeed great, with six championships and a bunch of personal honors, but it's a bit disgusting that some people insist on praising him as a god.

Jordan has been training hard? When he makes big bets, he always uses one hand and dribbles with the other hand to practice basic skills, right?

In the 1993 Eastern Conference Finals, the Bulls fell behind 0-2 against the Knicks. Jordan shot 37 of 59 in the first two games. The media revealed that someone saw Jordan gambling all night in Atlantic City the night before the game. He had been gambling in key games. Missed training.

Moreover, Jordan and Guo Xu also like to make movies. Everyone has seen Space Jam, but what everyone has not seen is a bunch of adult movies. In 1995, Jordan was involved in the infamous Gold Club Case. Later, because of a thief, his character was completely exposed.

When Jordan was having sex with his lover, he especially liked to record the process with a camera. As a result, a thief came to Jordan's house and stole the videotape. The Internet was simply not that developed at that time, otherwise Jordan's image would have been different from that of Edison. Same as brother.

A reporter asked: You did not represent the United States team in the US Championships in the summer. Will you consider joining the Dream Team in the future?

After finishing sixth at the 2002 World Championships, the United States had to compete in the 2003 Americas Basketball Championship in Argentina and finish in the top three to qualify for the Olympics. Stimulated by the disastrous defeat of the previous year, many top NBA stars who were able to travel participated and easily won first place.

Guo Xu smiled and said: I have not been invited by the national team. If someone invites me, I will consider it.

Someone also asked Guo Xu about his girlfriend, but he refused to admit that he had a girlfriend and just went through with it.

The holidays are over, and now he must focus on the basketball court.
