The explanation of "wanting to protect the backcourt rebound" seems to make sense, but Guo Xu's foot is too accurate.

Everyone is paying attention to whether the ball will go in, no one pays attention to Guo Xu's movements, and there is no video replay of the team's training.

Only Richardson guessed a little bit of the truth, and he looked at his friend with some strangeness, and stopped talking.

There are some "don't break the rules, but it's bad to do it" behavior on the basketball court. "Foot padding" is a well-known one, when an opponent shoots a basket and stretches out his foot to be stepped on, which is more dangerous and hurtful than yelling in front of and behind the opponent. is different from deliberately pulling people if you can't prevent it, and you don't foul your feet, even if you are seen by the referee.

In his previous life, when he was playing basketball in high school, Guo Xu stepped on other people's feet and cultivated for more than half a month, during which he limped when he walked, because it didn't hurt. Later, it took him some more time to correct his walking posture, and the injured foot was not able to withstand much force.

Guo Xu, who twisted his ankle, of course knew that his foot pad might hurt his opponent, and he also knew that it was dishonorable to do so on the court, but he did it on purpose.

This is a school bully who has targeted him several times, a bastard who often calls him a "Chinese Yankee", a competitor who wants to kick him out of the team, Guo Xu doesn't feel that he needs to talk about benevolence and morality with this kind of person. He's not Batman, so he needs to be polite to a Joker?

Because of the environment in which he lives, he knows how to protect himself and fight his opponents.

He acts recklessly, can distinguish between good and bad, treats good people gently and kindly, and treats enemies with ruthlessness.

In my memory, when my predecessor was provoked and bullied, he always didn't say anything, and he shrank his head into a protective shell like a turtle, and he digested it all by himself, to some extent, as a kind of motivation.

Now Guo Xu has changed. He is not interested in fighting back with words, calling the other party a "white pig" or something, he prefers to solve problems with actions, you can scold me, insult me, hit me mentally, I choose to hurt your flesh.

Lehmann was sent to the hospital for examination, and Guo Xu next played against Cliffs, he tried his best to defend to no avail, and he was blown up ugly.

After the training, Coach Izzo did not criticize Guo Xu, let alone say that he would not be allowed to play tomorrow. Even if his shooting touch has not been recovered, he didn't shoot a single three-point shot in the training game, and without Lyman, there is only Guo Xu left in the team as a backup point guard, and if he doesn't play, he has to let Cliffs play the whole game at the No. 1 position.

In the afternoon, the team had a holiday, Guo Xu's stepping had a butterfly effect, Richardson asked him to go out alone, the two did not participate in group activities, and the route was different from that of his teammates.

At Richardson's suggestion, the two took their cameras to visit the Indiana State Government Office Building.

In front of the government gate, there are statues of historical figures and reliefs of historical events in the state, and the inside of the hall is placed with statues of Greek goddesses and multi-layered marble columns, like a three-dimensional, minimalist version of a Greek palace.

Guo Xu thought that this kind of place would be heavily guarded, but the two walked into the palace without hindrance, the huge building was very quiet, it was difficult to see the office staff, it was like a tourist attraction without tickets.

Richardson poked his head in front of an office with an ornate door, and a female secretary came out and asked seriously, "Do you have anything to do with the governor?" ”

Guo Xu was a little confused, could this be the rhythm of being arrested for official business? Then the butterfly effect is too big.

Richardson was not nervous at all, grinning and saying, "We are students who came here to play NCAA basketball and want to take a picture." ”

The female secretary looked at his figure and believed these words, nodded and said, "The governor is busy, you can only take pictures of our outer secretary's room." ”

Then the female secretary let them into the house, and she was busy making copies of the documents, leaving them to take pictures outside the governor's office. Guo Xu pinched his thigh before confirming that it was not a dream.

Their visit to the state council room was also smooth, and the staff opened the door to let them see it for themselves, showing absolute trust in the student visitors.

Guo Xu feels that this is really a magical country, tourists can visit the offices of senior officials and mayors at will, why are the police in many places nervous, and let people hold their heads in their hands when they encounter something, otherwise they will be shot and killed?

Out of the office building, Guo Xu had already noticed that his friend's mood was wrong, and took the initiative to provoke the topic: "Jason, do you have something to ask about the morning?" Don't hide it. ”

Richardson stopped fiddling with the camera and sighed: "Guo, since that elbow, you have changed a lot, unlike the one I knew before." I guess friends should be honest with each other, Jack was hurt, and I suspect you did it on purpose. ”

"So?" Guo Xu did not deny it.

"Some of your changes are good, but there are also bad things, and I don't want you to become the kind of person who will deliberately hurt others. Even if it's your enemy, you can defeat him in other ways, if you can't do it, I'm willing to help you, in short...... You've gone too far for today. Richardson said.

Guo Xu rubbed his face with both hands and said with a smile: "Okay, you guessed right, I did it on purpose." Jason, you're more upright and righteous than I thought you were, and you're such a good friend. ”

He admitted it too happily, Richardson was stunned for a moment, and smiled bitterly: "I'm glad you didn't lie to me, otherwise I would seriously consider whether to be friends with you in the future." ”

Guo Xu shuddered, took two steps back, waved his hand and said, "Man, please don't talk like this in the future, only Sherlock Holmes and Watson will do this, it's too gay, it will make me want to strangle you first and then talk to you." ”

Richardson laughed, "Haha, I don't know what happened to your elbow, but I like the way you speak now." In short, you should be a person with a bottom line, and don't deliberately hurt people in the future, this is an insult to basketball, and we should decide the winner with integrity. ”

Guo Xu nodded, not explaining his thoughts to Richardson in detail. He has a bottom line, provided that the other party does not calculate and deal with him first, forget it about people like Jackleiman, cleaning up this goods is equivalent to eliminating harm for the people.

Guo Xu felt that Richardson's character was excellent, and the League owed him a moral fashion award in his previous life. Throughout his career, Richardson has never had a confrontation with anyone, although he is physically very strong and looks like the kind of guy who can PK Ben Wallace. He doesn't make any small moves on the defensive end, which is perhaps a big reason why his defensive ability is average.

This is also the direct reason why Richardson is not popular in the NBA, the media likes topical players, such as Spurs' Bruce Bowen, whose statistics are far from Richardson's, but when he was about to retire, he was almost thrown into the Western Conference Star Game by fans to start. Even in his prime, Richardson never made it into the top 10 in the All-Star Game votes.

If his personality doesn't change, it's hard for Richardson to become a superstar in the NBA, but this guy deserves a deep friendship.

Guo Xu invited guests to dinner, and after the two returned to the hotel room, they chatted about tactics for a while and rested early.
