Legend of Tomorrow

In Guo Xu's previous life, Matt Bonner, nicknamed Red Mamba and Team Soul, was a man with a story.

He is an academic who will make a difference even if he goes to Wall Street, but he loves basketball so much that he is willing to join the NBA as a substitute.

His offensive ability with the ball was underestimated. In the NCAA, he could use his body to play behind the ball or cut through, and score on breakthroughs. However, after joining the Spurs, Popovich transformed him and only required him to make a quiet three-pointer.

Bonner's most famous experience was his Double Mamba battle with Kobe Bryant in the Raptors in 2006. The two scored 93 points together...

Later, when Kobe recalled the 81-point game, he personally mentioned Bonner and called him the Red Mamba. Bonner once joked that he would have this sentence engraved on his tombstone. Although it is just a joke, the name of Red Mamba has been deeply rooted in the hearts of countless fans.

In short, many of Kobe's points were scored by Bonner's defense. It would be a tragedy for Bonner to defend the swingman. When Guo Xu saw him defending Richardson, he immediately decided to take advantage of this.

Guo Xu received the ball from the side, and Terry pursued the ball in place. Guo Xu moved to the center and moved the ball to the left from close range.

Richardson ran from the left corner to 70 degrees on the left side. He caught the ball and pulled up for a three-pointer. He had excellent bounce and a high release point. Bonner was half a beat too slow to catch up and couldn't cover the ball after his jump.

Richardson intended to assist Guo Xuga, and he shot very resolutely, and the ball went in! 11 to 2.

Bonner was afraid of being passed by when guarding Richardson alone, so he didn't dare to get close to him, which made the opponent's shot too easy. He is only a first-year player who became a starter due to his excellent shooting, and his defense is not excellent.

Coach Donovan's heart skipped a beat and he secretly screamed that something was wrong. He wanted Haslem to limit Guo Xu and Randy's pick-and-roll, but the team's weakness was immediately discovered by Guo Xu.

An excellent point guard is the coach on the court, and all intentions must be conveyed through him. Guo Xu has already fully integrated into the Spartans and can make adjustments at any time according to the situation on the court.

When the University of Florida attacked, Haslem helped Casey Shaw to cover without the ball. Guo Xu pivoted with his left foot, rotated his body greatly, and made a beautiful 180-degree turn to bypass Haslem.

His body was tilted very sharply, but he straightened his waist, shook his hips, and used an incredible dance move to regain his center of gravity. He took another big step with his right foot and caught up with the running Casey Xiao.

Miller, who was holding the ball in the middle, was about to pass the ball, but when he saw this scene, Ray almost dropped the ball. This is not Sparta!

Casey Shaw is even more depressed. He has played dozens of games this season and has never encountered a more cumbersome defensive player than Guo Xu. He is not good at holding the ball and attacking, and he is of little use if he can't run away from the offense. .

When Guo Xu was training with Buddha University, he often used his imagination to avoid cover, and couldn't help but use some dance skills. When he practiced tango, it was normal. After practicing Latin dance... he wore men's high-heeled dance shoes and moved faster. Neither is slow.

If you were in the dance circle, Guo Xu's actions would not be surprising, but this is a basketball court, and his cover-and-cover movement looks formidable.

Miller's delay delayed the score and was completely blocked by Peterson. He had to find Terry to support him. The latter played a pick-and-roll with Bonner, attracting the inside to switch defenses and then distribute the ball. Bonner singled out Cliffs and relied on his height advantage to shoot a jump shot that missed the basket. The rebound was grabbed by Richardson.

Richardson looked for Guo Xu when he landed. Guo Xu caught the ball and turned around with one hand. The quarterback accurately passed the ball to the frontcourt. Cliffs sprinted in a straight line and completely got rid of Bonner, near the free throw line. After catching the ball, he took two steps and dunked the ball with both hands.

13 to 2, Guo Xu’s third assist.

At this moment, the arena was completely detonated!

Horvath shouted: Another goal among the top five in the NBA. A beautiful quick counterattack. Jason Guo sent a precise long pass from the backcourt. He barely looked at his teammates. What kind of tacit understanding is this?

Woodson said: Jason led the team's offense in the opening game.

Before the game, probably no one could have imagined that this shortest player on the field, who looks like an ordinary person, would become the most dazzling star in the finals.

At this time, in a small restaurant in East Lansing, a bald old man with a stubble on his face and a gangster-like image stood up excitedly, pointed at the TV hanging on the wall and shouted: Did you see this? This is My grandson! The commentator said he is the brightest star!

His name is Blake Statham, and he is Guo Xu's grandfather. He is 64 years old this year, but he looks like a middle-aged man, with muscles all over his body, especially his tiger back.

His wife Isabella waved to him: Old man, can you please keep your voice down? Don't disturb others' eating, and sit down quickly.

This is Guo Xu's grandmother. She has blond hair, a pair of small glasses, and an amiable appearance. She must have been a great beauty when she was young. Now she has many wrinkles, and she still crushes countless peers.

What are you afraid of affecting your meal? Everyone is here to watch the game, and there are no outsiders here. Black's hoarse smoking and drinking voice sounded again: As long as my grandson plays in the NBA, old Harry can't let his grandson play in the NBA again. Don't tell me about the Olympics.

Guo Xu's mother, Kay Statham, served a dish to the guests and sighed: Playing basketball is very dangerous. Have you forgotten that he received an elbow a few days ago? I really don't want him to become a professional player.

Kay inherited her mother's beauty, and they looked very similar, except that she was much younger.

What do you know? Do you know how much money NBA players make? Black snorted.

East Lansing is a small place, and most of the people who eat here are repeat customers, and there are really not many outsiders.

The two guests at the next table are in their early sixties and often chat with Blake. One of them asked with a smile, Has your relative really participated in the Olympics?

Of course it's true, otherwise who do you think Jason's physical fitness is inherited from? He inherited the excellent genes of our Statham family! Haha. Blake said proudly with his head held high, his forehead reflecting under the light.

The other old man smiled and said, I just know that it's fortunate that Jason didn't inherit your looks. Let's sign some autographs for us when he comes back.

No problem. Blake walked to the kitchen door with a smile and shouted: Ping, why are you silent? Didn't you hear? Your son is a star.

Guo Xu's father is named Guo Zhiping. He has an average appearance and average ambitions, but his name vaguely conveys the domineering power of being able to ride a dragon.

He never thought that one day his son would become a basketball star, nor did he deliberately train Guo Xu in that direction. He just lived a normal life. These days, he ran the restaurant as usual and did not call Guo Xu. Listening to his father-in-law's loud voice, he shook his head helplessly, but he also felt sincerely proud that his son was much better than him.

Guo Xu's performance has just begun. It is destined to be a massacre. Buddha University cannot defend it and cannot open the offensive end.

With 30 seconds almost gone, Miller singled out Peterson for a jumper and missed. Richardson moved the ball out of the penalty area. The ball was picked up by Cliffs. He squeezed Terry away with his body and forced a pass, quickly advancing to the goal. The frontcourt formed a 3-on-2.

Cliffs attracted Casey Shaw to cover up the defense and passed it to Guo Xu on the right. Guo Xu broke through with the ball, and Haslem defended one and two.

Guo Xu glanced at Richardson in the middle and slapped the ball behind his back with his right hand. Haslem quickly stopped and stood on the passing route, judging that he was going to pass the ball behind his back. Unexpectedly, Guo Xu was dribbling from behind. He handed the ball to his left hand and pulled the ball up. He took a big step with his right foot, passed Haslem, jumped up slightly, and scored with his right hand.

16 to 2, Guo Xu scored his 8th individual point.

The goal was so coherent that Haslem didn't react or even jump.

The difference between the two sides continues to widen...
