Legend of Tomorrow

Chapter 93 [Overpowering the No. 1 pick, collectively making mistakes]

The next day, major media reported on the NBA opening game, focusing on Guo Xu's statistics, height, and draft picks.

The rising Chinese star shines in the NBA, and his performance in his first game is better than that of the No. 1 pick.

The last rookie is 30+, and the Lakers beat the Blazers.

The most underrated player in the 2000 class, Jason Guo targets Rookie of the Year?

The Portland media reported on the game. Unfortunately, first-round rookie point guard Eric Barkley was shot. He did not play in the opening game at all, but reporters did not forget him because he was the 28th pick in the first round, much higher than Guo Xu.

The Blazers management has become a joke. The three point guards on the team are all small men with a height of no more than 185cm. They have similar styles and overlap in positions. Barkley was selected in the first round to guard the water cooler. What's even worse is to trade for Sean Kemp and spend tens of millions of annual salary to raise a fat man. What is this?

Paul Allen, the owner of the Trail Blazers, is one of the richest people in the world. Anyone who uses computers knows about the software giant Microsoft. Chairman Bill Gates is well known to everyone. However, the credit does not belong to Gates alone. Gates founded only 60% of Microsoft, the rest belongs to Paul Allen.

Paul loves sports and owns the NFL's Seattle Seahawks and the NBA's Portland Trail Blazers. Even so, his money did not come from strong winds. After reading the news, he began to suspect that his subordinates were a group of incompetent people. If he failed to win the championship this year, he planned to make a major internal change.

The second best rookie in the first game was Guo Xu's good friend Jason Richardson. He scored 16 points, 5 rebounds and 2 assists, had a wonderful fast-break tomahawk dunk, and also hit two three-pointers.

The Bulls pursued Tracy McGrady in the summer, but McGrady eventually joined the Magic. The Bulls, who were weak at the shooting guard position, decided to train Richardson.

Richardson's fate changed because of Guo Xu. If he does not participate in the draft this year, the Bulls will sign Celtics abandoned player Ron Mercer in order to strengthen the lineup. This opportunity is missed, and he will have to go to the Warriors to be Jamison's little brother next year.

The Bulls lost to the Kings 82-100 at home. Now Richardson still has to practice. In two years, his combination with Elton Brand and Artest may be competitive in the Eastern Conference.

The third best rookie and Guo Xu's friend, Maurice Peterson, played 22 minutes as a substitute for the Raptors. He made 5 of 8 shots, 3 of 6 three-pointers, 1 of 2 free throws, and scored 14 points, 4 rebounds, and 3 assists. The Raptors lost to the Pistons 95 to 104.

The 23-year-old Peterson entered the NBA with excellent immediate combat ability and can adapt to NBA-level confrontation. His role is the same as in college. Defense and shooting three-pointers are both things he is good at, and he easily integrated into the team.

All Michigan's Fantastic Four were reused. Only Martin Cleves, who joined the Pistons, was very depressed. He came on as a substitute for 11 minutes. Without the ball in hand, he could not display his breakthrough skills and only scored 4 points and 1 assist.

A player's ability does not mean he can become a star. Once he joins a team that does not suit his style and encounters a useless coach, it is likely to affect his entire career.

Pistons coach George Irvin would rather reuse the 26-year-old short guard Chucky Atkins, who has terrible defense, poor organization, and no potential, just because Atkins has more game experience. Rookies really have no human rights, and their reputation in college is of little use in the NBA.

If Cliffs joins the Lakers and trades with Guo Xu, even if he goes from 14th in the first round to the bottom of the second round, he may do better in the future. It's a pity that he wanted to join the Pistons before the draft, and his vision is too bad. .

The Nets lost to the Cavaliers 82-86 at home. Number one pick Kenyon Martin made only 4 of 16 shots and 2 of 2 free throws. He scored 10 points, 7 rebounds and 2 assists. He was also a foul machine and left the game with six fouls after playing 30 minutes.

The Grizzlies defeated the SuperSonics 94-88 at home. Swift, the second-place pick, performed extremely poorly and came off the bench for 9 minutes.

0-for-1 from the field, all stats were zero, and he only grabbed one rebound.

The Clippers lost to the Jazz 94-107 in an away game. Darius Myers, the top pick, played 34 minutes, making 4 of 6 shots, 0 of 4 free throws, 8 points, 7 rebounds, 2 assists and 2 blocks.

There are only a handful of rookies who have scored in double figures this year, and not many have even gotten a chance to play. Against the background of these people, Guo Xu is even more great, and there are more fans online who believe in racial discrimination.

It is worth mentioning that Tyronn Lue got a lot of playing opportunities after joining the Mavericks. He played 24 minutes in the first game and scored 9 points and 3 assists. However, the Mavericks management was not happy and felt that they had been cheated by the Lakers.

The Mavericks fans who have the benefit of hindsight collectively expressed their dissatisfaction and did not understand why Guo Xu was exchanged for the unknown Tyronn Lue. If he were to keep him, the team would definitely be stronger this year. The Mavericks management was very wronged. They didn't try out Guo Xu at all. How could they know what level he was at?

Scouts and managers of other teams are also under varying degrees of pressure. This kind of collective misunderstanding is too rare.

The Bucks' Michael Reid can only be reused after Ray Allen leaves the team, otherwise people will find that there is more than one player who has been misjudged by the collective this year.

Guo Xu flew back to Los Angeles that night and slept until noon, recharging his energy and preparing for the night's back-to-back against the Jazz.

This year, the Lakers have faced strong teams at the beginning of the year. It is very difficult for newcomers, but it is also a good opportunity to make a name for themselves.

The starting point guard of the Jazz is the famous Stockton, or Stockton at the end of his career. In order to express his admiration for the famous star, Guo Xu decided that as long as the two faced each other, he would drag Stockton to death. Li hit.

He was woken up by a knock on the door, opened the door and saw Megan Fox.

Meghan looked reluctant and said calmly: My mother asked me to invite you to my house for dinner. She said that you came back late last night, so you must have gotten up late, and you could only eat fast food when you went out.

Seeing Meghan speaking as if she was reciting her lines, Guo Xulu was amused. He looked her over a few times. She was wearing very cartoonish clothes and loose sweatpants. He couldn't help but joked: You look like a young man today. Who would have done that before? Do you think you are under 20 years old?

Are you coming? Meghan glanced at him and pouted.

No, thank you. I'm going to call Austin and ask him to have dinner with me. We made an appointment yesterday. Guo Xu smiled.

Megan sighed and said, “He will be here soon.”

Huh? Okay then.

Darrens wanted to help her build a network for her daughter's future. While chatting during the meal, she mentioned asking the two of them to help take care of Megan.

After Guo Xu and Austin left, Megan said depressedly: Mom, why do you always say to let him take care of me? You don't let me make friends of the opposite sex in school, isn't he also a man? Can you trust such a person as a neighbor?

Of course I know he is a boy, and I also know that he is much better than your classmates. He is an NBA star. If he can like you, our family will have nothing to worry about for the rest of our lives. You and he can be ordinary friends and let him It’s okay to take you with me.”

Megan was not convinced, but had to admit that Guo Xu was doing much better than herself, and he had a good image and a sunny smile.

She shook her head hard, trying to shake Guo Xu's face out of her mind. Anyway, I don't like him. If you look at his usual appearance, he looks like a playboy.

Does a handsome guy have to be a playboy? Does appearance represent personality? Darrens retorted.

Can't you?

Go and look in the mirror first. Others think you must be a vixen. You also play a willful rich girl. Is our family rich?

“…” Megan was speechless.

What she said made sense, and I was speechless.
