On the Internet, some Chinese fans said that Guo Xu's selection for the last position was naked racism, if he was a black or white player, even if he refused to go to other teams for a tryout, it would not be so low, there must be teams who chose to bet on his talent, and scouts turned a blind eye to MOP just because he was Chinese.

These fans are the truth, discrimination in the American sports circle has always existed, this era is very serious, even after 2010 it is still obvious, Guo Xu does not try out no one is too normal, all teams are skeptical about his physical fitness, development potential.

In Guo Xu's previous life, Jeremy Lin went to a joint training camp in 2010 but was ignored by the scouts and finally failed.

THE DATA SHOWS THAT JEREMY LIN IS 191CM TALL AND WEIGHS 91 KG, WHICH IS THE SAME AS WESTBROOK WHEN HE ENTERED THE DRAFT. In other words, he is the standard heavy point guard in the league, like Wei Shao and Wall. Then many people conclude that an Asian point guard has such a large weight that it will inevitably affect speed and bounce, but this is not the case.

Jeremy Lin's physical performance is astounding, with good jumping, agility, and strength, and the average speed is even more than Ross and Wall, and he still surpasses Wall and Irving in the starting speed that the black man is best at, and only the maximum speed is behind Wall.

His explosiveness belongs to the top tier of the league, and he may not be able to become a star, but being a role player is more than enough, and no one wants it just because he is a Chinese American with black eyes and black hair.

Guo Xu saw the news, he didn't care about those doubts and regrets, as long as he played a good game, he could prove everything, and someone would regret it in the future, it was definitely not him and the Lakers.

Kupchak did not sign him immediately, deliberately waiting until after the summer league, also with the idea of slapping him in the face.

On the afternoon of the 4th, Guo Xu went to Long Beach, California alone. Long Beach is the second-largest city in the Los Angeles area by population, after Los Angeles, and has hosted summer leagues in recent years, which many fans watch.

The Lakers booked a hotel, and Guo Xu will stay here with his temporary teammates and coach until he has played five games.

In addition to Guo Xu, the Lakers also have three NBA players participating in the game, and the overall strength is strong.

Mark Madsen, the 29th rookie "Mad Dog" in the first round of this year, is a defensive blue-collar who is good at grabbing rebounds, is not afraid of confrontation, and has a tough style.

Devin George, the 23rd rookie in the first round of '99, is 203CM tall and weighs 106 kg forward, he has mid-to-long-range shooting ability, can rush to grab frontcourt rebounds, has strong physical fitness, and is good at dunking.

In his rookie season, he played in 49 games for the Lakers, averaging 3.2 points and 1.5 rebounds in just seven minutes per game, and in the playoffs he was even worse, averaging just five minutes per game in nine games and averaging 2.4 points and 1.1 rebounds.

George, who shot a low percentage of less than 40 percent from the field last season, was eager to prove himself and asked to participate.

The first rookie in the second round in '99, John Selesstad, is a two-way guard with a height of 193cm and a weight of 86 kg. He claims to be well-rounded, but he didn't show it at all last season, playing only 16 games for the Lakers as a marginal man, averaging 2.3 points, 0.7 rebounds and 1.3 assists per game.

Last year, John signed a two-year contract with the Lakers with a team option for the second year, and now that the Lakers don't exercise the second year of his contract, he has become a restricted free agent and has to work hard to sign another base salary.

In addition, there are two players who have never played in the NBA.

Mike Panpersi, a white non-draft player, born in 1974, is 191CM tall and weighs 87 kg as a guard, and his specialty is catch-and-shoot. He was not selected in the draft that year because of his style of play, 191CM is a bit short to play a point guard, poor confrontation, poor defense, and he lacks organizational skills when playing point guard.

After training in foreign leagues, he has become much stronger and hopes to show himself in the NBA.

Medvidenko, 208CM tall and weighing 113 kg, is a 21-year-old rising star, good at shooting, resistant in the low post, and slow in movement.

Guo Xu took the initiative to greet his teammates and wanted to contact the feelings, so that the cooperation was more tacit.

As soon as he came up, he hit a nail. Last season's marginal man of the Lakers, black guard John Selesstad was very tugging, his nostrils turned to the sky and he didn't shake his hand, and snorted coldly: "Boy, don't think that you can play in the NBA if you are drafted at the last place, you have too much waste, go home and eat milk." ”

Guo Xu was not angry at all, smiled, turned his head and left, he saw that the other party was treating him as a competitor.

This person's IQ is too low, completely ignoring that Guo Xu is a rookie after the Lakers sent out Tyrone Lue, many people can see from this point alone that the Lakers want to sign Guo Xu to cultivate, no matter what the reason, the Lakers management likes him.

Yesterday, the Lakers' gold medal assistant coach Kurt Rambis called Guo Xu and indicated that the Long Beach League would arrange offensive tactics with him as the core, so that he could be mentally prepared.

John, a player who mainly plays the No. 2 position, gave Guo Xu a look, isn't it just death? Guo Xu was too lazy to talk to his brain, so he didn't pass him the ball in the game.

He went to say hello to Medvedenko again: "Hello, I'm Jason Guo, it's nice to meet you." ”

"Hello, Jason, I'm Stanislav Medvedenko, I'm from Ukraine, my name is a bit long......" The white man smiled and shook hands with Guo Xu, he didn't participate in the draft, and he didn't have a backstage in the United States, if you want to play well in the summer league, it is necessary to cooperate with your teammates.

His name is a little long, pronounced in Ukrainian, and he has the rhythm of "taking the best sword, going over the highest mountains, breaking into the deepest forests, and bringing the princess back to you."

"Do you have a simple nickname or English name? We're going to have a lot of cooperation going on, and if I call your full name and pass the ball, I'm afraid I'll have to break the rules for three seconds. Guo Xu said with a smile.

Medvedenko was stunned for a moment and laughed. "You can call me Stan."

These are the first few letters of his name, and it will become a very iconic name by the end of this year because of Eminem.

"Man, look at your body, I think you're going to get a contract with the Lakers, are you good at pick-and-roll? Pick-and-roll in the middle or off-ball cover on the side. Guo Xu asked with a smile.

Medveddenko came to play in the summer league just to join the Lakers, and he was very happy to hear Guo Xu's words. "What I'm best at playing is pick-and-roll, and as long as you pass the ball to me near the free throw line in the middle, I'll definitely shoot it if there's no big man in front of me."

"Okay, try it while you're training." Guo Xu patted Medvedenko on the back. "Let's go and say hello to the other people together, get to know each other well, and it's easier to cooperate."

"Okay." The big man from Ukraine is happier and feels like he's made friends in the United States.

Assistant coach Rambis just entered the hotel, and when he heard the two chatting on the side, he had a better impression of Guo Xu. He's the youngest on this Lakers team, but he's very mature, and a good team player should have that affinity.

Rambis glanced at John, who was alone in a daze, and didn't bother to say hello, even though they had been working together for a season. John was selected by the Lakers on his own ability, but he never had a teammate in his eyes, and he was too selfish.

Last season, the coaching staff felt that this man was too bad to be saved, so if he did not fulfill his second-year contract, even if John played summer league for the Lakers, it was impossible to stay.
