Chapter 921 [Killing Chickens with a Cattle Slaughtering Knife]

Hassan Whiteside danced happily at home, the family was happy for him, and his mother Debbie cried with excitement.

Being a first-round rookie, even if it's just the last one, means that he can sign with the team and get a four-year contract, have time to prove himself, and make a lot of money even if he is cut.

It's a huge sum of money for his family, and they all feel like they've earned it.

Hassan was raised by his mother Debbie, and like many black families, his father left early and abandoned his wife and children. When he was a child, Debbie had to work four jobs to raise six children.

Hassan played just one year in the NCAA before he was eager to enter the draft and want to improve the lives of his family. He had three triple-doubles in blocks and 182 blocks for the year, surpassing Shaun Bradley as a freshman with the most blocks in American history.

He averaged 13.1 points, 8.9 rebounds and 5.35 blocks per game, but the draft market has been underestimated because he started school too late and is 21 years old this year. Coupled with his rough technique, scouts only listed him as an alternate in the first round.

He also did a peculiar thing in rookie camp, when the Heat came to inspect the rookie, he seemed to lose confidence and walked away from the training gym without saying a word, leaving the Heat's scouts stunned.

After this incident, he was labeled as having a problem with his mentality, and if the Suns didn't pick him, he would definitely fall to the second round.

Guo Xu's impression of Hassan is not bad, although it is said that he has ADHD in the early stage, and his EQ and IQ are both low, but as long as he is trained properly, he will have a very promising future, and 30 people selected such a potential newcomer is worth it.

If he wasn't chosen, would the Suns choose Lance Stevenson in the first round? Both of them are quite brain-dead, so it's right to choose a big one.

In Guo Xu's previous life, this guy did an unbelievable thing after joining the king, which made the king's management's perception of him drop to the freezing point, and even labeled him as "immature" and "low IQ".

It is said that after signing a contract with an annual salary of 400,000 yuan, he drove a Mercedes-Benz sports car worth more than 500,000 yuan to train on the same day, and everyone in the team showed an expression of disbelief. Later, he also fought in the Development League, and soon became uneasy in the king.

Fortunately, Hassan wisely chose to go to China to undergo socialist transformation and became a pioneer of socialist basketball. He couldn't play in the CBA, but averaged 26 points, 17 rebounds and 5 blocks per game in the NBL's Sichuan Blue Whale team, won the championship and MVP with a playoff winning record, and later led the Jiangsu Tongxi team to the finals.

Hassan returned to the NBA in 2015 and played two impressive seasons with the Heat, becoming the first person in NBA history to go straight from base salary to maximum salary.

Interestingly, Hassan spent some time with Renault's Bighorn and Jeremy Lin at the time of being sent to the Development League by the Kings, and both of them rose to prominence in a similar way.

Jeremy Lin became even more excited when he heard his name and jumped up from the couch.

He was watching TV at home, and by the second half of the draft he was desperate, guessing that he would lose. The NBA's scouts are this virtue, and Guo Xu, who was a mixed-race Chinese, almost lost the election. The scouts don't care about the body side data, the college data, they first see if it is "black and hard".

Getting drafted wasn't all eventful, and Jeremy Lin was ready to work his shooting in the summer and go to the Summer League to prove himself. Many low-pick second-round rookies don't get contracts, and they have to fight for a base salary.

AND JEREMY LIN CAN ONLY BE A SUBSTITUTE OR EVEN A FRINGE MAN AFTER JOINING THE SUNS, AND HE HAS TO COMPETE FIERCELY WITH DRAGIC, BOTH OF WHOM ARE HEAVY GUARDS WITH A HEIGHT OF 191CM.

His opportunity is that once he stays, he can learn from Guo Xu in training and learn some skills and experience.

Now all players in the point guard position around the world, whether small guards or heavy guards, imitate Guo Xu's style of play, practice three-point shooting, practice changing direction and breakthrough, and take him as a role model.

Guo Xu will not open a basketball training class to teach people how to play, and the only way to get his guidance is to join the Suns.

Lin quickly figured it out, and he was so smart that he was the first Harvard player to enter the NBA in nearly 50 years. Jeremy Lin graduated from high school with a GPA of 4.2, and because Harvard does not offer basketball scholarships, he entered Harvard purely to get in, and he graduated from college with a GPA of 3.1.

Of course, his playing stats are not bad. In his fourth season at Harvard, he averaged 16.8 points, 4.5 assists, 4.3 rebounds, 2.6 steals and 1.2 blocks per game while shooting 52.5 percent from the field and 32.1 percent from three-point range.

After this draft, Guo Xu chatted with Brian Colangelo for a while as usual.

"Have you seen the list of free agents? The next step is to contact the broker. Brian asked.

"I'll send it to your mailbox tomorrow, you don't have to trade all of them, just a few. Sergi and Udonis are strong in the No.4 position, and they must stay. ”

"Okay." Brian paused for a moment and said with a smile: "Old man, let me ask you, are you really not considering participating in the World Championships this year?" If you want to go, he'll send you an invitation. ”

"I resolutely don't go, even if I participate in sports competitions, I will choose other sports, and I will vomit when I play again."

This summer, the Men's World Basketball Championship will be held in Turkey from August 28 to September 12. Former Suns owner Jerry Colangelo became president of the U.S. Basketball Association and wants to make sure the U.S. team wins the championship. It has been 16 years since they won the last World Championships, but this time no big-name stars are willing to join, Guo Xu, James, Wade and others have collectively withdrawn.

Guo Xu knew that the nine teams could easily win without him, because the lineups of other teams were even weaker. The World Championships gradually have a taste of chicken ribs, and the core players of Yao Ming, Parker, Ginobili, Nowitzki and other countries will not participate in the game for some reasons.

doesn't even have a decent opponent, what is Guo Xu going to do? Kill chickens with a cattle slaughtering knife?

The Dream Nine team is not the strongest team, at least there are a few All-Stars and a group of second-rate stars in the team, and the old Coach K will win according to the tactics of 2008, and he will encounter some challenges against Spain.

Guo Xu prefers to participate in shooting, archery, fencing and taekwondo competitions, and he has not participated in official competitions since becoming a master in the time loop. He asked the agent team to check if there were any big competitions in the summer and were ready to sign up to play.

If a star like him crosses over to participate in other events, the organizers are absolutely welcome, and the other party will want to help him win a few games if he is not strong, as long as he has not been eliminated, he will definitely be able to attract the attention of a large number of fans and enhance the popularity of the event.

It is not so easy for Guo Xu to participate in the competition, the time is not right, and the large-scale fencing competitions are generally held from October to April of the following year, and will not be held in the summer.

The U.S. Archery Championships are in October, when the NBA preseason has begun, and Guo Xu has missed the qualifying round.

The U.S. Taekwondo Open is in March, and Guo Xu will definitely not be able to participate in the next competition, so he can't take leave to play taekwondo in the regular season, right?

There are many shooting competitions, and there are them in Los Angeles, most of which are amateur in nature, and Guo Xu is not interested in hearing the general situation. Participating in that is a pure hobby, and there are not many people who pay attention to it, and it is estimated that I can't even get the news.

If he is in the news, Arenas was banned for dozens of games last season because of his reputation in the NBA for "gungate". Recently, NBA players are eager to say that they have never seen a gun in their lives, and Guo Xu really shouldn't show that he likes guns very much at this time.

He practiced a lot of kung fu in vain, but luckily he had fun while cycling......
