Chapter 1 [NCAA is not a dream]
"In the fourth pick of the 2000 draft, the Chicago Bulls chose point guard Guo Xu! Jason - Guo! (Music for the appearance of Pirates of the Caribbean protagonist Jack Sparrow)
Guo Xu, who was sitting in a white suit in the "Green House", stood up excitedly after hearing the introduction of NBA commissioner David Stern, hugged his amiable parents beside him, hugged Di Lieba, and pushed Lu Han away.
He reminisced about the past and sighed about the present; He tasted the courage of lying on his salary, and he was willing to come to the bitterness!
He loved watching NBA games and basketball when he was in elementary school, but his family was poor and there was no basketball nearby, so he didn't have the opportunity to learn to play.
When he was in junior high school, he was too thin to even represent his class in grade basketball games, so he could only shoot basketballs in physical education class.
When he was in high school, he wanted to represent his class in intramural basketball and was rejected, and was ridiculed by his classmates for being as thin as a stickman.
When he was admitted to the university, he was in his early sevens and was finally able to have the opportunity to play the whole intramural basketball game, and his strength was ordinary, and he could not be selected for the school team.
After graduating from a third-rate university, he became a salesman in an electrical company, with a low salary and no girlfriend, so he didn't want to talk about anything serious when he attended the reunion of classmates and friends, only sports, film and television, and games.
Outside, he is always smiling, happy, trying his best to hide his inferiority, and anesthetizing himself with a sense of humor.
At home, when he brushes his teeth before going to bed, he faces the mirror and laughs at the clown he plays in the mirror.
In any case, he has always loved basketball, and his most amateur pastime is playing streetball. He will find time to watch NBA games, follow NBA news, and dream of becoming a professional basketball player.
Now, he's finally in harvest season! He worked a miracle! His draft pick was only one place below that of Darius Miles, who went with Black Widow and Captain America to steal the answers to the test papers!
Guo Xu put on a draft hat and walked onto the stage unhurriedly.
His eyebrows are like sharp swords, his eyes are like stars, and he is sharp as if he can penetrate a person's body and look into the depths of his soul.
He looked around...... (Music Jam)
There was no dense, crowded audience, no brilliant stage with flashing lights, no tsunami cheers, no big scene, not even President Stern.
The light in the room was very dim, Guo Xu opened his eyes and stared blankly at the white ceiling.
Where am I? Who am I?
It turned out to be a dream, no wonder it's a little fake, and the others are quite like real, but how can the draft venue be so simple?!
Guo Xu smiled self-deprecatingly, thinking about it day and dreaming at night, he had never experienced a big scene, how could he dream a big scene?
He looked at the wall clock on the opposite wall, it was six o'clock in the morning.
He looked at the other bed next to him, Zhengxiang, a black man about two meters tall, was sleeping flatly, and the "tent" made people a little panicked. As soon as he saw this man, he was greatly relieved, he was still the point guard of the Spartans of Michigan State, and it was not a dream, thank goodness.
Guo Xu got up slowly and tiptoed into the bathroom.
He didn't use soap or facial cleanser, he casually washed his face twice with water in his hands, and wiped it with a towel; He brushed his teeth in the same few clicks, less than a minute in total; Then, he looked in the mirror for a full five minutes.
Four days ago, he was still a 29-year-old Chinese sling living at the end of 2018, and his life was extremely dark. His parents divorced when he was a child, and his mother remarried and went to another city, never to be seen again; My father was an unmotivated bastard, who loved to smoke, drink and play mahjong, and sometimes drank too much and treated him as mahjong.
Somehow, he woke up in a hospital in the United States, and returned to the year 2000, becoming a handsome mixed-race guy who looked like Hollywood star Keanu Reeves after being elbowed in a recent NCAA basketball game and unconscious.
He became able to speak English, and he had an extra memory in his head. The Chinese name of this mixed-race predecessor is Guo Xu, and the English name is "Jason", which comes from the Greek word meaning "one who heals wounds, one who has rich knowledge."
In the United States, he has a full family, a Chinese father and an English mother, and the two run a small restaurant in East Lansing, Michigan.
The predecessor is an honest and very introverted person, most of the time the face is paralyzed and boring. He is an only child, and his parents are strict, and he has never been able to take a step independent. He was in East Lansing in elementary and middle school, and a year ago he was admitted to the local Michigan State University.
Donglansing is nominally a city, but in fact it is more like a small county town, with a total population of just over 40,000, a large part of which are students. In addition to the university, it includes public schools, six elementary schools, a middle school, and East Lansing High School.
Obviously, the predecessor is a guy who has never seen the world, and he has never left home except for five trips since he was a child. He is not even as good as the Chinese sling, which at least lives in the Internet age of information explosion, has never eaten pork, and has seen pigs run.
Guo Xu walked out of the bathroom, and if he continued to take a picture, he would be handsome with a bloody face, he was 100% satisfied with his current identity and this skin, as for his previous name, just forget it as if it was a nightmare.
He put on his sportswear, sneakers, and sports bag, and left the hotel with a basketball to go to a nearby park court to practice.
He has to practice, and the situation is really awkward now.
Since he never thought that he would be reborn one day, he did not prepare for this. He is a scumbag, his college major is the unpopular "Sociology", and he doesn't know what he is good at after graduating for many years.
Looking for a programmer to partner with Facebook, Weibo, and cloud computing? How did he know how to get these things?
Be a copyist? He has read a lot of novels, comics, film and television dramas, and he has some impressions of being famous, but when he was in school, he wrote 800-word essays with a big head, and he could only doodle when he painted, and he couldn't be a copyist. With the same outline, can the things written by the great god writer and the street writer be the same?
He has a fit figure and good looks, and it is also a choice to go to Hollywood to be an actor by relying on his appearance. But there is one in a million actors who can become famous in Hollywood, he has never been in contact with the film and television industry, has no acting skills, and has no background.
As for the work of industrial development, he can't do it, and he hates it when the book is used, and he doesn't know how difficult it is.
The only thing Guo Xu wants to do and can do now is to play basketball, and his advantage is that he likes this sport very much in both worlds, and he is familiar with all NBA stars, and can tell their technical characteristics and career highlights. He is also known by name for most ordinary players, and remembers the life trajectory of many players before 2018.
His weaknesses are also obvious, he is only 180CM tall in shoes, weighs 73 kg, and has an ordinary figure, even if he has an arm span of 190CM, his basketball talent is very average.
He is just a backup point guard for the Spartans, who plays team basketball, has average breakthrough ability, acceptable passing awareness, is good at catching and shooting, has a very bad defense, and does not play much playing time. The team's starting point guard is the famous NCAA star Mattin Cliffs, who will be 100% of the NBA high-pick rookies in the summer.
Today is April 1, 2000, and the Spartans have reached the final four of the NCAA, with the semifinals starting tomorrow.
What's worse is that after being reborn, Guo Xu is the soul of the Chinese sling, and he is not familiar with this body, which causes his skills to plummet and return to the rookie level. He was scolded by the coach for two days for training with the team, and this morning's training session was probably his last chance to prove himself.
