Chapter 30 [A Joke, April 2nd]

In the afternoon, Guo Xu did not participate in the group activities, and called Jason Richardson to go to the street court together. He's going to fulfill his promise to Brad Stevens to get to know the future "young marshal".

Two NBA players play streetball and feast the eyes of the spectators on the sidelines.

Richardson had five violent dunks, one of which was an empty one-handed windmill with a flat head; Guo Xu is the core of the offense, passing the opponent again and again, scoring or assisting teammates by himself.

After only 20 minutes of play, the two of them were gone, and there will be no sense of accomplishment if they continue to play.

Brad Stevens followed and stepped forward, "You two are NCAA players, right?" Will you be in the NBA Draft this year? ”

Guo Xu replied: "We are from Michigan, so there is no big surprise that we will participate in the draft." ”

Richardson looked at Guo Xu suspiciously. "You want to participate in the draft this year?"

He knows that Guo Xu's good condition is scary now, but the overall data is average, and it is too reluctant to participate in the NBA draft.

Guo Xu nodded and said seriously: "It's not a joke, and I suggest you also participate, with your physical condition, it will definitely not be low." We're definitely going to win this year, it's the top of the NCAA, and if you don't participate this year, do you want to win the championship next year? Enter the NBA early, make money early, and the team will focus on training because of your young age. ”

Stevens interjected: "I think he has a point, NBA teams value the age of players, and the treatment of running at 18 is different from running at 22, unless the older rookie is amazing and becomes a star as soon as he enters the NBA, like Tim Duncan." ”

Guo Xu came to Stevens, so naturally he would not snub him, and said with a smile: "You have good passing awareness, good running, and accurate shooting, and you are also an NCAA player, right?" My name is Jason Kwok and this is Jason Richardson. ”

"Brad Stevens, nice to meet you, I played in the NCAA and now it's a year out of college." Stevens and Guo Xu shook hands. "May I ask what grade you are?"

"It's all in first grade, I'm 18 now, 19 at the end of November, and he's 19 now." Guo Xu asked Richardson to come to the street court for the first time, and this conversation was very fresh.

Stevens didn't expect that they were all freshmen, and they would definitely be able to play in the NBA at such a high level, and the ceiling was not low.

Richardson asked: "Participate this year, your previous data is too poor, can you be selected?" ”

Guo Xu Zhengse said: "Yes, as long as you pass me more balls, and convert the balls I pass to you into assists." If I took the MOP, it didn't matter if the data was bad before. Would you like to help? ”

Richardson nodded without much thought: "No problem, I'll help you." ”

Richardson is not the kind of player who is suitable to be the "boss", he is selfless and indisputable. And the most successful people in the NBA are always those who are competitive and like to compete with others, whether they are competing with their opponents or teammates.

As a friend, Richardson was righteous and not a good thing for himself.

At this point, Stevens asked, "Can you sign for me?" In the future, I can brag to my friends that I played street ball with two NBA stars. ”

"Of course, it's okay to take a group photo, say your ICQ number or email number, and I'll send you the photo." Guo Xu said with a smile, so that the two naturally got in touch, and it was discussed by him and Stevens during the cycle.

Richardson bought a digital camera, usually loves photography, and will not refuse the request to take a group photo wherever he goes.

With the help of female fans on the sidelines, the three took many photos together. Guo Xu secretly rejoiced in his heart: I will see you in the NBA in the future, as long as Stevens' future does not change, I can also say to my friends that I signed the head coach of the Celtics. It's going to be funny and it's going to be a joke.

Guo Xu thinks that it is a good habit for Richardson to go out with a camera, and he will also buy a digital camera to take with him in the future, and take photos at any time when he meets young future stars.

After eating something for dinner and going back to the hotel, Guo Xu went to bed early, wanting to see if he could dream after falling asleep, and whether tomorrow would be April 2nd.

As a result, he dreamed of tango with Molly Evans, going to nightclubs for mechanical dance, Latin dancing, playing tennis, football, boxing, golf, and so on......

All sorts of trivial fragments filled his mind, making him feel a little confused, he was woken up by Richardson, and slept until eight o'clock. And he didn't sleep well, and he was a little tired.

Guo Xu looked at his watch, jumped up from the bed excitedly, and waved his fists vigorously. "Good! That's great! Hahaha, today, April 2nd! Oh yes! ”

The time loop was finally over, and he was on the verge of crying with joy.

He learned a lot of things, ate a lot of food, and did some things that he didn't dare to do in reality, but the feeling of being an NPC in the whole world was really unpleasant, and now he finally didn't have to listen to repeated words and do repeated things.

"What is there to be happy about on April 2nd? Aren't you nervous at all in the semi-finals tonight? "Richardson didn't sleep well last night because he was afraid of not playing well and losing.

"What is there to worry about, we will win big in the evening." Guo Xu has never taken the University of Wisconsin seriously, and there is not a single player he has heard of in his previous life.

"Well, I'm a big forward starter." Richardson sighed.

Tom Izzo's plan was a small-ball strategy, with Richardson having to defend the box and play against people who were taller than him. In the past, Izzo often arranged this way, all after a big lead, which is why Richardson averaged a high number of rebounds per game.

After Guo Xu finished washing, he said to Richardson who went into the bathroom: "I think it doesn't hurt for you to listen to the coach, even if you go to the NBA, your physical condition is the most suitable for playing forward, your movement speed will become an advantage, and you can pull out and shoot, which has a great effect." ”

Izzo has been teaching Richardson a lot and wants to transform him into an all-around swingman rather than a shooting guard, and it's not necessarily a bad thing to go in that direction.

In Guo Xu's previous life, the height of NBA power forwards became shorter and shorter, and small-ball tactics were the general trend.

Sean Marion is still just a rookie to the Suns, and he plays power forward and has been selected as a multiple All-Star; Carmelo Anthony has played as a power forward for a few seasons and is super efficient; Even more so after 2010, the 198CM Chuck Hayes can play center, and the Warrior Draymond Green is actually less than two meters tall.

Richardson has a dream of his own. "No kidding, my idol is Jordan, I'm also 198CM, I have an extraordinary jump, and I'm going to wear number 23 and play a shooting guard in the future."

The time loop is over, Guo Xu is unwilling to pour cold water on him, let alone become the "successor of Jordan", among the players who wear No. 23 in the league, he can't even rank in the top ten. Jordan's personality is also an important factor in success, he will never agree to help his teammates win the best player, the Bulls have won six consecutive championships, and the Finals MVP is all Jordan's.

Guo Xu will not say these thoughts for the time being, he likes Richardson's personality and needs his help at the moment. When both of them are in the NBA, and Richardson hits the nail, he will try to persuade them to transform.
