Legend of Tomorrow

? The three of them started talking about joining the Magic. Manager Gabriel first found out a lot about Guo Xu, saying that he was short, thin, lacked game experience, etc... Then he proposed a two-year, 4 million contract. It is still a team option for the second year, which is simply bullying Guo Xu for not having an agent.

After hearing this, coach Rivers covered his face with one hand. He suddenly realized that his manager was a very lucky retard. He could get to where he is today just by luck.

When Guo Xu went to the locker room to take a shower, he had already called and clearly told Gabriel that Guo Xu was amazingly powerful and an All-Star player, much better than Bibby.

In the end, all these words were in vain. Gabriel didn't believe it at all without seeing it with his own eyes. He only felt that Rivers was exaggerating and that Guo Xu had a temporary seizure. It was impossible for such a powerful non-draft player to exist.

In addition, he believes that there is no need for the Magic to introduce another point guard. Bibby and a substitute veteran are enough.

Bibby was acquired by him in a trade in 2000. He was selected as an All-Star last season, and he was very proud of it. In fact, many people said that the deal was stupid at the time. Although Bibby was the second pick, his statistics were average. He was far from the strength of Webber, who had won four championships, and his reputation was completely incomparable. Even with one player and two draft picks, the Magic seem to be at a huge loss.

Weber's worth at the time could have been replaced by a star with instant outside ability. If that were the case, the Magic would have been able to compete for championships in recent years.

Guo Xu looked at this old man in a suit and had a career similar to that of Jason Statham, and suddenly laughed out loud. Hahahahaha, you really deserve your reputation.

The scene was very embarrassing for a time. Rivers suspected that Guo Xu was angry, and said with a wry smile: Jason, you have to understand, he didn't watch you play the game and doesn't know your strength. I couldn't believe you were so strong before I watched it.

Doug, I understand, but I just can't help but want to laugh. Guo Xu took a deep breath, with a smile still on his face.

He felt that on Earth 1, O'Neal's heart must have collapsed. It was a miracle that such a big SB could be the general manager of the team and the manager of several teams.

People in their right mind should trust their team's head coach even if they don't understand the opponent's strength. Rivers said that Guo Xu is stronger than Bibby and Tracy McGrady. Gabriel's offer of 4 million in two years not only does not give face to the players, but also does not give face to Rivers. One glance showed that there was very little trust between the two.

Rivers felt that things were about to go bad and he had to find a way to remedy the situation. He sighed: Jason, I was a little too impatient today. I called you here without communicating well. I'm sorry. Do you think this will work? You will come to play tomorrow. The team will conduct a detailed physical examination, and then the management will have a meeting to discuss and give you a suitable contract.

It’s hard for the Magic to offer high salaries right now.

The salary cap has already been exceeded, and Guo Xude needs to be signed and traded.

Guo Xu waved his hand, looked at Rivers and smiled and said: I'm not angry. Don't bother me. I promised 4 million in 2 years. If this gentleman is afraid that I am inexperienced, short, etc. and think the contract is too big, I won't be able to do anything for one year. I can accept a guaranteed minimum salary. I don’t care about the money at all.”

Of course he doesn't care about money, because he can't get it, and even if he gets it, he won't be able to take it with him when he leaves this world.

To him, money is really just a number.

Rivers didn't know the inside story, and was stunned when he heard it. He thought Guo Xu was a genius and also a madman.

The three chatted for a while. Gabriel's plan was to sign a two-year contract with Guo Xu at a low price first, and then consider signing a high-paying long-term contract with him in the future. In this way, the Magic are expected to win three consecutive championships and send away Bibby or Tracy McGrady when Guo Xu's contract is renewed next time.

Guo Xu was secretly amused again. Gabriel actually said that he would send away one of Bibby or Tracy McGrady, instead of necessarily sending away Bibby. Could it be that the two star point guards on the team were paired together? Moreover, the two Magic stars are not at the same level at all. This guy is really out of his mind.

After leaving the manager's office, Rivers was a little embarrassed. He put his arm around Guo Xu's shoulders and said cordially: Jason, I'm sorry that the Magic can only offer this kind of contract now. I hope you can stay and cooperate for a long time in the future.

Guo Xu said lazily: It's okay, Doug. I'm really here to have fun. I will retire when I get tired of playing. I don't care about money.

... Rivers didn't know what to say. He had never heard of this kind of player in his life. He was clearly outstanding but unknown and unwilling to play in the NBA.

Guo Xu continued: I only have one request. I want to talk to the team's trainer today. I feel that my jumping ability is obviously insufficient and I want to improve it.

Rivers complained wildly in his heart, at your height you can dunk easily with both hands, but you still think it's not enough? He smiled and said: I think your body should be trained mainly on speed and breakthrough. There is no need to deliberately train your jumping.

My speed and breakthrough are already strong, but my jumping is not strong enough. I plan to participate in the dunk contest and win the dunk king. This is my long-standing dream and must be realized.

Rivers is now convinced that Guo Xu is a lunatic. The dream of being 183cm tall is not to win a championship or become a star and earn a high salary, but to become the dunk king?

In any case, the Magic will be satisfied with this little thing, at least they have to sign Guo Xu first.

Rivers asked: When do you want to start practicing?

I can sign a franchise agreement first and then sign a formal contract later. I want to start training my jumping ability this afternoon.

Rivers sweated: Are you too hasty?

Even if I go through the formalities and register with the league today, it will still take a few days until the signing is announced before I can play on behalf of the Magic. During this time, I have no place to use my strength and feel uncomfortable. Don't worry, I have a sense of propriety and I will definitely not be injured. .

Have you received systematic training before? Rivers asked.

Of course, I also have many years of experience in parkour and various extreme sports, so I am particularly good at adjusting my center of gravity and protecting myself when falling, so I will never get injured. Basketball training is child's play for me.

Have you ever played extreme sports before? Rivers was shocked.

I've tried hang gliding, free-standing rock climbing, skydiving, etc., and I'm lucky enough to be immortal.

Rivers had no doubts that he was bragging because he didn't look normal. After signing an NBA contract, you can no longer participate in these dangerous activities. This is what players must abide by.

I understand, no problem.

In the afternoon, Guo Xu went to the arena to meet with trainer Eddie, and got a complete plan for training his jumping.

This training plan is not a team secret. It is basic knowledge that all trainers understand and is an excellent plan. It is said that after most people complete the training, their jumping ability can be improved by 20 to 30CM. However, the training process is very hard and the whole process takes at least 15 weeks.

The exercises include half-squat jumps, toe lifts, chair jumps, quick bounces, toe jumps, squat jumps, etc.

For each event, at least 3 groups of an action should be performed, and the rest between groups should not exceed 2 minutes. Once completed, you must immediately do the next item. Try not to rest, as the effect will become worse once you rest.

Guo Xu did all the projects in the afternoon, trying to keep them in mind, and didn't finish until his legs felt cramped.

It is not difficult to practice jumping. The key is perseverance. What Guo Xu lacks most is time. He wants to memorize the training methods in his mind, and then he won’t have to come to the gym. He can also practice outside.

He doesn't like boring training and prefers to integrate the exercise process into his life. He can't go to the gym every day. He wants to improve, but he doesn't want to complete the task too quickly. He can do a lot in the time loop.
