Chapter 22 [Resembling a Traveler, a True Genius]

Guo Xu tried to play games in the game hall all night, and at six o'clock the next day, a "8" shaped tattoo appeared on the back of his right hand, emitting a light blue light, and he returned to the bed in the hotel room as soon as he opened his eyes, and the time was six o'clock, and it was April Fool's Day.

He came to the conclusion that it didn't matter if he was in circulation or not sleeping, and that he had to go back with his eyes open.

There is another way Guo Xu never dared to try, that is, to die, he was worried that if he really hung up, the early efforts would be in vain, it was better to stay on April Fool's Day, eat, drink and have fun.

Later, he began to reach out to strangers, asking them to help him open his mind and find a way to end the cycle.

On the 380th April Fool's Day, Guo Xu went to a street court in Polis, teamed up with people to play the whole game of street ball, honed his skills with actual combat, and enjoyed the pleasure of "abusing vegetables" at the same time.

Guo Xu visited many street courts to see if he could meet future NBA players, but he didn't find any players, and met a future NBA coach, Celtics junior coach Brad Stevens.

Guo Xu and Stevens have a very tacit understanding, they can play with or without the ball, and they have no temper on the opposite side of abuse.

Stevens is 187CM tall, with ordinary physical fitness, plays by ball quotient, is good at protecting the basketball and observing the running of teammates, has a good pass, and can also ensure the hit rate of catching and shooting.

Guo Xu dribbled over half of the court on his own, the opponent did not wrap up his scoring performance, someone came to wrap Guo Xu to divide the ball to Stevens, who ran without the ball, he received the ball and shot directly, or shook a second breakthrough, the rhythm of the game is very good, and he can also score.

Stevens, who was born on October 22, 1976, is now a 23-year-old sunny handsome guy, a little shy when he laughs, and he is at the peak of his appearance. Even if he is the coach of Celtics at the age of 40 in the future, he will look like a Hollywood star, wearing glasses and looking like a Sven scum. It is said that after Stevens took over, the number of female Celtics fans surged.

Guo Xu's appearance is also at the level of Hollywood movie stars, and the two of them gathered together in a team to attract many female fans to watch and applaud.

Street Ball doesn't keep track of the score, and it doesn't matter the time, if someone gets tired of playing, they go down to rest, and the spectators on the sidelines can play if they want. Everyone else has rested, Guo Xu played until five o'clock in the afternoon in one go, a full three hours, and his physical strength was amazing.

Stevens was waiting for him on the sidelines and greeted, "Hi, I know that's a bit presumptuous......"

Guo Xu raised his hand to interrupt him. "No problem, Brad, let's have dinner together tonight, let's find a place to take a shower first, it's not welcome to go to the restaurant in a stinky sweat."

Stevens froze, how did he know my name was Brad? Do you know I want to have dinner with him?

The two had eaten several times, and Guo Xu knew what Stevens wanted to say, and he couldn't let him say it.

If Stevens had said it all, it would be, "Hey, I know that's a bit presumptuous...... We're just getting to know each other...... But can I invite you to dinner in the evening and leave you a contact number? ”

Then the female audience next to them will cast suspicious glances at them, and Stevens is GAY angry in the GAY! Guo Xu thinks that he is the first man in the universe in both lives, and he is very unaccustomed to this tone of speech.

The two first left each other's phone calls, and made an appointment to meet at the steak restaurant that Guo Xu often went to, Guo Xu went back to the hotel to take a shower and change into casual clothes and go out, the two arrived at their destination five minutes early, and shook hands vigorously when they met.

Stevens is different from Richardson, his IQ is super high, so high that Guo Xu suspects that this thing is actually a crossover. As long as Guo Xu doesn't pay attention when he speaks, revealing a little clue, Stevens will feel strange, and then ask questions.

"Jason, how do you know my name? I'm sure today is the first time we've met. And you don't leave the stadium until 5 o'clock, and now you have a seat, which is unreasonable. Stevens asked.

Guo Xu told him the truth directly. "Because I'm someone who has traveled back in time from the future and is stuck in a time loop, it's not the first time we've played, and it's not the first time we've eaten, and I know you want to invite me to a Chinese restaurant that you like to eat Kung Pao Chicken, but I prefer the steak at this restaurant."

Stevens had a grimace on his face, he guessed a few possibilities, but he didn't expect to hear such an answer.

His brain was a little sluggish, and it took a minute before he asked, "How is this possible?" ”

Guo Xu skillfully ordered the signature dish in the store, and when the waiter left, he smiled and said: "You want to make friends with me, because you think we are the same kind of people, and we both love basketball, you are right." It's not our first conversation, you can put your hands behind your back and use your fingers to figure a number, and I'll tell you what the number is. ”

Stevens thought about it and did so. "Say it, a few fingers."

Guo Xu didn't raise his head, and said lazily: "You are clenching your fists, the first time you used this trick to deceive me." ”

β€œson of a bitch! What you say is actually true?! Stevens, who had always been a gentleman, cursed and quickly accepted the fact.

After graduating from high school, Stevens attended the academically focused University of DePauw, where he studied while playing for the school's basketball team, earned a bachelor's degree in economics, and joined Eli Lilly after graduation.

Now is the time when Stevens is most confused, and his family hopes that he can work hard and make money, preferably for the rest of his life at Eli Lilly, but Stevens wants to quit his job and do basketball-related work, which is what he likes to do.

"You're from the future...... Have I succeeded in the future? Am I an NBA coach? Stevens' shoulders trembled slightly, and he suddenly shook his head fiercely. No, don't tell me about the future, if I know the future now, it's not interesting. ”

Guo Xu smiled: "Don't worry, if my friend doesn't want to know the plot of the movie, I will definitely not give him spoilers." Actually, it doesn't matter, you'll forget about seeing me tomorrow morning, you're destined to succeed, even if it's not in basketball. ”

In Guo's previous life, in the summer of 2000, Stevens quit his high-paying job as Eli Lilly's director of marketing operations and joined Butler University as an unpaid basketball volunteer. He lives in a friend's basement and works in a restaurant while volunteering to make ends meet.

Stevens became the head coach of Butler University in 2007 and led the team to the NCAA Finals in 2010 and 2011. In 2013, he began coaching the Boston Celtics.

This guy has the same life as a hanger, not a traverser, just like a traverser. How can an average person become the head of marketing operations of a well-known pharmaceutical company at the age of 23? He is a true genius.

After Guo Xu met Stevens, he confirmed that he was not reborn or time-traveled, but that this person's IQ was too high and his reaction was too fast. High IQ can be converted into ball quotient, and his quick reaction gives him an amazing ability to adapt on the spot, he is limited in playing and has average physical fitness, but he is born to be a coach.

"I won't remember seeing you? Then why are you looking for me? "Stevens was a little confused.

"I need your help, you're the guy I know right now who knows both basketball and is smart."
