Legend of Tomorrow

Guo Xu came ashore wet, and gave up calling his friends after thinking about it. Austin was probably going to audition at this time, and maybe he had a good chat with the Olsen sisters.

Even if he wanted to make a call, he couldn't. When he took out the phone, he found that it had automatically turned off. After soaking the phone in water and drying it, he didn't know if it could still be used. The cash in his wallet was also wet, making it difficult to get a ride. The only good news is that it's hot today, and he won't get sick or catch a cold if he falls into the sea.

The middle-aged employee smiled and asked: You had a fight with your girlfriend? What did you do? She wants to push you off the boat?

Guo Xu rolled his eyes and said angrily: That's either my girlfriend or a crazy woman. Can you call the police for me? I suspect she wants to murder me.

Of course this was an angry comment. He didn't even know what Rabbit Tooth was called. Los Angeles was so big that finding a stranger was like finding a needle in a haystack, unless he had been staying at the dock today waiting for her to come back by boat.

What are you going to do? the employee asked.

Can my ferry ticket be refunded?

cannot.

Then can you take me to a nearby beach? I'm wearing swimming trunks and going to bask in the sun. Guo Xu sighed.

This is fine.

The employees of the shipping company were willing to give Guo Xu a little help and took him to a nearby beach on a small electric car. He took off his clothes, only wearing swimming trunks and found a quiet place to lie down and bask in the sun, but his heart could not calm down.

How about returning to East Lansing first? It's such bad luck in Los Angeles that not many people know him. If he became a big star, it would be too embarrassing to be in the news for something like this.

Near noon, Guo Xu's mobile phone was dried and successfully turned on. Although his Nokia looked like a brick, in this era it was a high-tech product with acceptable quality and high cost performance.

Austin sent a text message. I passed the audition. I met the Olsen sisters and had a great time chatting for half an hour. How was your stay on the island? Did you meet any beautiful women?

Guo Xu dialed the phone. Congratulations on passing the audition. Are you free at noon? Can you drive to the beach to pick me up?

You didn't go to Santa Catalina Island?

Don't mention it. If you're at home, bring me my gym clothes. I need to change.

After the two met, they went to a nearby restaurant for dinner. Guo Xu told his story. When Austin heard that he was pushed off the boat by the girl who used the electric shocker that night, he laughed so much that everyone in the restaurant went to their table. look.

Austin drank a large glass of water to suppress his emotions and stopped laughing. What on earth did you say to make her so angry? Aren't you very strong and claim to know Kung Fu? How could she push you?

Forget it, I don't want to mention that Tuya anymore. I'm a generous person, and we won't see each other again anyway. Guo Xu looked peaceful, took two deep breaths, and suddenly gritted his teeth and said, I curse her today. He fell into the sea and drowned.”

Don't get excited, eat something first...

After eating for a while, Guo Xu sighed: I plan to go back to East Lansing today and wait for the summer league. I will definitely participate in the Long Beach Summer League then. My parents, grandpa, and grandma can't come to Los Angeles to live together. I will go back Stay with them for a few more days and come to Los Angeles to live permanently in July.

Okay, as long as you sign with the Lakers, I'll help you find a long-term rental apartment here. I hope you can play with the Lakers for the rest of your life. Austin did not persuade Guo Xu to stay. Recently, he had to study the script and the movie would start shooting in the summer.

Thank you. Guo Xu smiled.

It's impossible to stay with the Lakers for the rest of his life. He uses Los Angeles as a springboard to get a high salary. He leaves with a championship ring and will have no pressure in his future career. He doesn't want to be the star's younger brother forever. As long as he has enough strength, he will become the boss of a suitable team.

In the afternoon, Guo Xu bought a ticket and went home.

Back in East Lansing, he was a household name, playing street ball and torturing people every day for four days.

On June 29, the 2000 NBA Draft was held in Minneapolis, Minnesota.

Jason Richardson and Martin Cliffs were officially invited to the draft by the NBA and will wait for the draft results in the Green Room.

Prior to this, Richardson went to six teams for trial training, five of which were in the top ten teams in the draft. Scouts were very optimistic about his physical fitness and potential, and it was a certainty that he would become a high-ranking rookie.

Experts always follow that theory. Talent comes first and determines the upper limit of a player. Richardson is not the core of the Spartans' offense and defense, because the best talent attracts much attention and overshadows Cliffs. .

Maurice Peterson, who won the Big Ten MVP this season, and Guo Xu, who won the Final Four MOP, not only did not receive the Green Room invitation, basketball experts also expressed that they are not optimistic about their prospects. Peterson is because of his average physical fitness, and Guo Xu is because he only participated in the Lakers' trial training.

To other teams, Guo Xu's physical fitness is a mystery. The information scouts have is the data of his last two NCAA games. His average data per game is not worth mentioning, and his height of 180cm is also a weakness visible to the naked eye.

Except for the Lakers, no team is currently optimistic about Guo Xu. First, the Hornets broke the news that he was a thorn in the side, and second, the Lakers implicitly stated that his performance in trial training was poor.

The Lakers invited several point guards to participate in trial training. The news released stated that Eric Barkley, Marco Jaric, and AJ Guyton performed well, but Guo Xu was not mentioned.

As we all know, Guo Xu participated in a separate trial with the Lakers but did not receive any evaluation. What does this mean? Guo Xu's figure and Chinese identity were very confusing. No one guessed that he performed too well. The Lakers deliberately released the smoke bomb truth. They only thought that the Lakers officials would save him some face and did not mention training.

There were many people waiting to see Guo Xu lively, such as Hornets manager Bob Buss, as well as everyone from the University of Wisconsin and the University of Florida who were brutally tortured during the Final Four.

The hotel was closed that night, and Guo Xu's family of five sat in front of the TV, eating snacks and watching the live broadcast of the talent show.

When filming, in addition to the stage, the cameraman mainly aimed at the green room and gave many close-ups to these players who may become stars in the future.

When the camera showed Richardson, Guo Xu's mother, Kaye Statham, asked: At what point do you think Richardson can be selected? Can you still play on the same team?

Guo Xu shook his head and said: We have no chance to play together in the short term. He is at least in the top ten of the draft, and he may also be in the top five. I have made an agreement with the Lakers, and I have not gone to other teams for trial training. It is very likely that he will be the last one. Drafted and then traded to the Lakers, the draft actually doesn't matter.

Grandpa Blake said in a sour tone: How could it not be important? The first-round pick makes a lot more money. Why are you so stubborn and unwilling to go to a team that pays you more? I think the Pistons are very good. It's close to home.

Detroit is a city with no future. When I get rich, I will take you to a big city. Do you want to stay in East Lansing for the rest of your life? Guo Xu said with a smile.

As a reborn player, he knows that the Pistons have had great success, but their location is really bad. In his previous life, Detroit went bankrupt in 2013.

Grandma Isabella was not a fan and did not understand the draft rules, so she asked: Didn't Jason win the best player in the college? Why are so many losers drafted higher than him?

Black snorted: It depends on the body. He is not tall, so he is underestimated. These teams will definitely regret it in the future. They will see the greatness of the Statham family's genes.

Upon hearing about genes, Guo Xu couldn't help but touch the back of his head, feeling like his hair was falling out...
