Legend of Tomorrow

? In NBA games, it often happens that teams with good lineups do not get strong when encountering weakness. The reasons are various, such as insufficient preparation before the game, excessive pressure on players, poor psychological quality, etc. One of the most common reasons for capsulating in the gutter is underestimating the enemy.

The Magic's core despised Guo Xu, thinking that he was really an amateur player. You can imagine the consequences of despising the MVP.

Guo Xu will advance quickly to launch a counterattack, lead the team in running and gunning, and help his teammates perform. The three people on the white team can move quickly.

In the positional battle, he waited for his teammates to pull away and played a pick-and-roll with Zaza Pachulia. When the inside defense was far away, he would shoot a three-pointer. When the distance was close, he would break through. Bibby would chase and double-team him to distribute the ball.

He always plays on the weak side, preventing wing players from turning to defense, and gives him easy shooting opportunities when double-teamed. Although the white team is a group of substitutes, except for Bogans, several other players can shoot well, and Zaza has a mid-range shot.

After playing for 10 minutes, the white team has been leading the blue team.

The NBA in this world has not yet seen a run-and-gun team. Each team focuses on setting up positions at a slow pace. On the defensive end, they also guard the penalty area and rely on rotation to interfere with shooting. It is very uncomfortable to meet a three-point maniac like Guo Xu.

Rivers called a timeout to arrange defense and double-teamed Guo Xu, but he was still able to perform. It is difficult for opponents to flank him during counterattacks, but he can distribute the ball to the right position in positional battles.

What surprised Rivers the most was Guo Xu's mentality. Facing the stars, he scored and assisted continuously, but his expression remained calm and calm, as if it was natural. This is simply the defender's version of the Stone Buddha. I won't be surprised if the sky falls!

What Guo Xu did was like playing an online game. A master created a small account and pretended to be a newcomer to torture people. Of course, he was not surprised when the sky fell. Moreover, this master can also cheat, and once he cheats, he can even abuse the large number...

In addition, Guo Xu really couldn't get excited about playing with O'Neal. He knew Fatty's strengths and weaknesses very well. After all, they had been teammates for two years, and they had a tacit understanding of each other on the defensive end.

The players on the field were even more surprised.

O'Neal's eyes widened, feeling that Iverson had never made him feel so uncomfortable. If this person becomes a teammate, he will be extremely happy this season, and he will get two MVPs again.

Malone was distracted several times on the court. He felt that Guo Xu was better than his old partner and Stockton in his peak period.

Bibi's heart was broken. The gap between the two was visible to the naked eye. He was really a loser.

Where did this guy come from? If he joins the Magic, I will definitely have to switch to the bench. The next step is for the management to trade me out of the team, right?

The match lasted about two quarters.

Rivers announced that the training was over. He counted Guo Xu's statistics. In this moment, he had 27 points and 10 assists. If he played 40 minutes, his efficiency would be easily 40+10.

When Guo Xu came off the field, his expression remained unchanged and his breathing was steady. It was obvious from a glance that he still had plenty of energy. Unfortunately, he has no reputation at all in the basketball circle. No one has ever heard of such a powerful Chinese player.

If he joins any college team, he should dominate the NCAA, so everyone started thinking.

O'Neal asked curiously: Which university are you from? Did you encounter racial discrimination because you are not famous in the NCAA? Is it because the coach won't let you play?

Guo Xu didn't know how to answer. He couldn't slander the college coach, right? Back in East Lansing, Michigan Spartans coach Tom Izzo was sneezing wildly.

Coach Rivers was extremely happy. He felt that this was the rhythm of heaven will hand down big responsibilities. As long as the Magic signed Guo Xu, they would definitely establish a dynasty again. Even if O'Neal is old, Guo Xu and Tracy McGrady can still lead the team to win, maybe this time they can win four consecutive championships.

In this world, Tracy McGrady is not that heavy on offense and defense and only plays second fiddle, averaging 35 minutes per game. He is very healthy. If Guo Xu really partners with them, it would not be surprising to sweep the entire league. This is similar to the configuration of the Lakers' Big Three, with the addition of Bibby.

Rivers is ready to let Bibby play as a substitute in the future. His defense is not even as good as Guo Xu's and there is no competition at all.

Guo Xu went to the Magic locker room to take a shower, and then went to the manager's office with Rivers. Rivers believes that the most important thing now is to sign Guo Xu. If he joins other teams, he will be a fatal enemy.

Guo Xu met the legendary figure, the most mentally retarded man in the history of the NBA, Magic manager John Gabriel.

In Guo Xu's previous life, it wasn't until Gabriel announced that he had Parkinson's syndrome in 2012 that everyone understood why he made many magical decisions when he was a manager.

He left the famous line I don't want to give you more money than pennies, so as not to make him unhappy and gave away Laker O'Neal for nothing.

Even before joining the Magic, Gabriel was constantly ridiculed by many experts as watery in the brain. When he was the general manager of the 76ers in 1986, he traded Moses Malone away, holding the No. 1 pick that year, and then gave the No. 1 pick to the Cavaliers for almost nothing.

The Cavaliers used the No. 1 pick to select Brad Daugherty, who was selected to the All-Star many times in his career and became a team star.

In 1993, he sent away No. 1 pick Webber in exchange for Hardaway. At that time, many people laughed at this as being as stupid as giving away the No. 1 pick for free in 1986. Unexpectedly, the ending this time was much stupider.

Not only did he not offer O'Neal a high salary in 1996, he actually teased O'Neal, initially offering four years and $54 million. In order to use special means to keep O'Neal, he even publicly criticized O'Neal's poor rebounding and defensive shortcomings.

The funniest thing is that in 2000, as soon as Gabriel won the Best Manager Award, he immediately signed Grant Hill, locking up the Magic's salary space for many years, and then he left the Magic to harm the Knicks.

In 2010, Gabriel facilitated mid-term deals for the Knicks, Rockets, and Kings.

In this three-way deal, the Rockets sent Tracy McGrady to the Knicks, Joey Dorsey and Carl Landry to the Kings, received Kevin Martin and Hilton Armstrong from the Kings, and acquired Jadon Jaa from the Knicks. Reed Jeffries, Jordan Hill, swap rights for a 2011 first-round pick and a 2012 first-round pick (top-five protected).

The Kings traded point guard Sergio Rodriguez to the Knicks and acquired Larry Hughes from the Knicks.

As for the Knicks, they got McGrady from the Rockets as they wished, and they believed that McGrady, who had a broken knee, was a superstar.

Gabriel is a retarded person who can always find a job, which shows that many NBA owners are even more retarded. However, in this world, this guy actually won the Best Manager Award twice, received countless praises, and was blessed with great luck.

As soon as Guo Xu entered the door, he looked at Gabriel and suspected that this was also a time traveler or a reborn person.

Rivers excitedly talked about how great Guo Xu was. John, I can guarantee you that if he teams up with Shaquille and Tracy, we may be able to break the Bulls' regular season record of 72 wins and 10 losses in the future. He is so good, better than Bibby and Tracy McGrady. .”

It can't be such an exaggeration, right? Gabriel also looked at Guo Xu and smiled bitterly: Jason, why haven't I heard of you before? Which university did you graduate from? Didn't you participate in the NBA draft?

University of Michigan, I didn't participate in the draft because I was obsessed with it and just wanted to be a chef. Guo Xu replied.

...

This answer was really refreshing and refined. Rivers said: Are you crazy? You are so good at football that you can become a chef? Do you know how much money you can make playing in the NBA for a year?

Guo Xu shrugged and said with a smile: It's a long story, so I won't explain it.
