Chapter 414 [Rivers' jaw also dropped]

Coach Rivers chatted with Guo Xu for a few words, asked him about his identity and background, and allowed him to participate in the Magic training class.

Guo Xu is talking about himself before he was reborn in his memory, and he has been staying in Donglanxin, even if it is different, the deviation will not be very large.

The Magic team had a game in the evening, so the training intensity was not great, and the players warmed up and ran a few tactics to start fighting in groups.

Guo Xu was assigned to the white team as a substitute, and his teammates were Bogans, Kirisek, Pat Gariti, and Zaza Pachuria.

The opponent's blue team has a luxurious lineup, Bibby, Adrian Griffin, Maddie, Malone, O'Neal.

Since the Magic have three high-paid stars, O'Neal's annual salary has reached more than 20 million, and the rest of the positions can only be made up of base-salary players and rookies.

Even so, the Magic's roster depth is still good, because they are a championship team, O'Neal's thick legs attract a lot of people, and players in the free market who are willing to take a pay cut to compete for a championship give preference to the Magic, and the Magic don't want them to consider other teams.

Malone was able to score 20+ last season, Griffin is an excellent blue-collar swingman, but the offense is too poor to sign a big contract, Garrity is a power forward who can pull out and shoot three-pointers, and Bogans is a second-round rookie from the Bucks, a blue-collar shooting guard.

"Inadvertently" is a very appropriate way to describe the Magic team, and although the general manager is an idiot, the team's salary space exploded after O'Neal was renewed with a high salary in 1996, resulting in no chance for management to make mistakes.

Even so, manager Gabriel had thought about choosing Grant Hill back then, but the management meeting was opposed by everyone else, so he signed Maddie instead. The Magic almost fell into a huge hole, and Hill's stay with the Pistons was also reimbursed for serious injuries again and again, and the Pistons lost their chance to rise, and now they are just an ordinary playoff team.

Hill's tragedy is not accidental, it is caused by his style of play, the sudden change of direction during the full-speed run caused a lot of damage to the knee, and later Wade and Derrick Rose, who are similar to Hill's style of play, were also mixed with injuries, and their form declined early. In his previous life, Hill didn't switch to jumping shots until he was old enough for the Suns, and since then he has ensured attendance.

Rivers arranged this way to test Guo Xu's organizational ability and see if he could lead the benches to attack. If he is a point guard with height, a scoring guard style of play, and no matter how good his skills are, he can only be a sixth man, and the ceiling will not be too high.

The tactic he arranged for the white team was to block and dismantle the attack, and Guo Xu had absolute possession of the ball.

The blue team is an inside strategy plus a triangle attack, Bibby and Malone play blocking and dismantling in the middle, choose to break through, stop and jump shots, or pass to Malone in the middle to play singles; Malone responds to the pass without shooting, passing to Maddie, who is moving on the wing, or to O'Neal, who is about to be in the basket; Maddie can catch the ball and play it alone, or he can attract the defense and give O'Neal a low drop.

After two seasons of running-in, the Magic's core offensive end has a very tacit understanding, and the Pistons are missing a strong team in the East, even if there is no Guo Xu, the chances of the Magic defending the title are very high.

It is precisely because of the strength that Magic starters O'Neal, Malone and others will not take the bench team seriously.

Except for Bibi, he doesn't want to play against Guo Xu anymore, and he will definitely be abused by "amateur players" again. There weren't many people who saw it just now, but now it's all in plain sight.

If it was a regular season, Bibby would have warned his teammates on the inside to switch defenses more aggressively. But Guo Xu's identity ...... He really couldn't open his mouth to ask his interior teammates for help, not to mention how uncomfortable he was.

The white team attacked first, and Guo Xu controlled the ball.

Bibi already knew that he was fast and sharp in his breakthroughs, so he didn't dare to press closely, and he was engrossed in keeping his distance to prevent breakthroughs.

Guo Xu took to the front court and waved at Pachulia to find cover, Zazara pulled out, and blocked Bibi in the middle.

Zaza is not the "scum" of the future, he is a heavy interior line with a height of 211cm and a weight of 125kg, and an aspiring young man who is about to release his ideal in his rookie season.

Because of his overweight and slow movement, Zaza was selected by the Magic in the 13th place in the second round and became O'Neal's backup. Rivers believes that there must be a meat shield center on the field to protect the penalty area, and Zaza has done a good job of resisting people, and he also has an advantage on the offensive end, and his huge body can help defenders create opportunities.

Guo Xu chose to dribble the ball to the weak side, quickly moved sideways, and then stepped back to shoot a three-point shot.

As he expected, O'Neill didn't defend it and waited for him to break through near the penalty area. The Lakers' three-time champion Ao Fat doesn't like to defend and dismantle, how can the five-time champion Ao Fat go all out to defend in training?

Malone followed three-point power forward Garriti in the bottom right corner, with only Maddy on this side, and Kirisek in the left bottom corner, too far away to help defend.

Guo Xu shot easily, and the basketball was hollow into the net. 3 to 0.

The blue team attacked, Bibi and Ma Long blocked and dismantled, Guo Xu chased the defense very fast, and Bibi completed the closeness with only one step. Bibi played the ball to Malone, who passed to O'Neal who moved to the middle.

It's not that you have the weight to guard against O'Neal, Zaza is a pure floor flow player, can only resist human interference, and has a very poor blocking ability. O'Neal doubled his head to the right and threw it to the right to score a cricket kick against Zaza. 3 to 2.

The white team attacked, and the tactics just now were played again, O'Neal still didn't change his defense, Guo Xu made a quick stop jump shot after moving sideways, and hit three points again. 6 to 2.

After entering the time loop, Guo Xu's mentality of playing ball was completely relaxed. For him, doing anything in the loop is playing.

It's easier for a player to make a hit in this state, and he's not under pressure, even if he can't shoot accurately?

He didn't have to be ashamed to shoot 17-of-47 today, because no one would remember it. If it weren't for the time loop, it would be a bad thing for him to hit 30 irons, and he would be repeatedly mentioned by the dark sunspot in his heart.

The BLU team attacked, and Maddy received the ball and scored in front of Kirisek with a pull-up jumper. 6 to 4.

The white team attacked, Guo Xu blocked and dismantled again, and Ma Long changed his defense.

He brought it to the left side of the 45-degree turn frame, opened up the distance with Ma Long, dribbled the ball to his right hand under his crotch, and changed direction to the left side violently.

Ma Long saw that Bibi was chasing and defending in place, and was about to go back to prevent Zaza, Guo Xu got rid of Bibi with speed, swept past Ma Long, entered the penalty area and attracted O'Neill to make up for the defense, jumped out of the bottom line and passed the ball to the bottom corner of the right side.

Garriti got an open shot, and he practiced mid-to-long-range shooting, rarely playing the low post, and hit a catch-and-shoot jumper. 9 to 4.

The Magic coaching staff was collectively confused on the sidelines, and trainers Eddie and Bibi said that Guo Xu was very strong, and they thought that it was a young player with a hand convulsion who took advantage of Bibi unexpectedly, and the two of them may not be able to win if they play again.

It's like Garnett will be beaten by a rookie if he is not careful, it doesn't mean that the rookie is stronger than the "wolf king", in fact, he is not only bad at playing, but also not good at fighting, Garnett can send him to the hospital for stitches with one punch.

But Guo Xu's performance is too outrageous now, no matter how you look at it, he is a star, and his three offensive choices are perfect.

Usually when amateur players see the top 50 superstars in the league like Malone and O'Neal, their first reaction is to go up and ask for autographs, how can they play casually with a smile like Guo Xu? He didn't seem to have a hint of nervousness, he was playing.

Bibi made a mistake, did not protect the basketball when he played blocking and dismantling, and was directly stealed by Guo Xu when the dribble changed direction.

Guo Xu went down the fast attack alone, accelerated in a straight line and completely shook off Bibi, jumped up with all his strength at the right step, and dunked the basketball with both hands. He pulled the basket around in a half-circle, his leg almost threw it on the rebound, and then landed in style. 11 to 4.
