Chapter 39 [This is not Sparta! 】
In Guo Xu's previous life, Matt Bonner, who was nicknamed "Red Mamba" and "Soul of Team" was a person with a story.
He is a top student who will make some achievements even when he goes to Wall Street. He loves basketball deeply and is willing to join the NBA as a substitute.
His ball-holding offensive ability is underestimated. In the NCAA, he can use his body to hit or cut freely to break through and score. However, after joining the Spurs, Popovich transformed him and only needed him to make a quiet three-pointer ground cannon.
Bonner's most famous experience was that in 2006, the Raptors and Kobe's "double Mamba" raced with each other, and the two scored 93 points together...
Later, when Kobe recalled the 81-point game, he personally mentioned Bonner and called him Red Mamba. Bonner also once joked that he wanted to carve this sentence on his tombstone. Although it was just a joke, the name of Red Mamba has been deeply rooted in people's hearts and has countless fans talked about it.
In short, Kobe got a lot of scores under Bonner's defense, so it was a tragedy to let Bonner defend the swinger. When Guo Xu saw him going to defend Richardson at the main defense, he immediately decided to take advantage of this.
Guo Xu received the ball from the side, Terry chased and defended himself in place, Guo Xu changed his head to the middle and transferred the ball to the left from close range.
Richardson ran from the left corner to 70 degrees on the left, and received the ball and pulled a three-pointer. He jumped out with a high shot. Bonner was half a beat slower to catch up and couldn't cover it.
Richardson intends to help Guo Xu add assists, and he shot very firmly, and the goal scored! 11-2.
Bonner was afraid of being beaten by Richardson alone, so he didn't dare to shoot closely, which made the opponent's shooting too easy. He was just a first-year player, and he became the starter with his outstanding shooting, and his defense was not yet up to standard.
Coach Donovan's heart was thrilled and he was secretly complaining that he wanted Haslem to limit Guo Xu and Randy's pick-and-roll, but Guo Xu immediately discovered the team's weakness.
An excellent point guard is a coach on the court, and all intentions must be conveyed through him. Guo Xu has long been fully integrated into the Spartans and can adjust at any time according to the situation on the court.
Fo Da attacked, Haslem helped Casey Shaw to cover without the ball, Guo Xu's left foot was the axis, his body rotated sharply, and a beautiful 180-degree turn around bypassed Haslem.
His body was tilted very hard, but when he thrust his waist and trembled his hips, he used an incredible dance move to regain the center of gravity, took another big step in his right foot, and followed the running Caseyshaw.
Miller, who was holding the ball in the middle, was about to pass it, but when he saw this scene, Lei almost dropped the penalty. This is not Sparta!
Casey Shaw was even more depressed. He played dozens of games this season and had never encountered a more tangled defensive player than Guo Xu. He was not good at playing ball and running would be of little use if he couldn't get rid of the offensive end.
Guo Xu often used his brains to hide when training with Focao University, and couldn't help but use some dance skills. It was normal for him to practice tango. After practicing Latin dance... he was not slow in wearing men's high-heeled dance shoes.
If he were in the dance circle, Guo Xu's actions would not be surprising, but this was a basketball court, and his positioning that he was hiding from cover would look like a bunker.
Miller delayed his record and was completely blocked by Peterson. He had to find Terry, who was supporting him, who played pick-and-roll with Bonner to attract the inside to switch defense and pass the ball. Bonner singled Cliffs, and relied on his height to miss the basket, and the rebound was grabbed by Richardson.
Richardson found Guo Xu when he landed. Guo Xu turned around and swung with one hand. The quarterback gave the ball accurately to the frontcourt. Cliffs sprinted straight and completely got rid of Bonner. He received the ball near the free throw line. He took two steps and dunked the ball with both hands.
13 to 2, Guo Xu made the third assist.
At this moment, the stadium was completely detonated!
Hovas shouted: "It's another goal-level goal in the NBA, with a beautiful quick counterattack, Jason Guo sent out an accurate long pass from the backcourt. He hardly looked at his teammates, what kind of tacit understanding is this?"
Woodson said: "Jason drove the team's offense at the beginning. Before the game, no one could have thought that this shortest player on the field, a player who looks like an ordinary person, would become the most dazzling star on the finals."
At this time, in a small restaurant in East Lansing, a bald old man with a stubborn beard and looks like a bandit stood up excitedly, pointing to the TV hanging on the wall and shouting: "Did you see it? This is my grandson! The commentator said he is the most dazzling star!"
His name is Black Statham, and he is Guo Xu's grandfather. He is 64 years old this year. He looks like a middle-aged man, with muscles, especially his tiger back, which is particularly conspicuous.
His wife Isabella waved to him: "Old man, can you be quiet? Don't affect others' meals, sit down quickly."
This is Guo Xu's grandmother, with blonde hair and a pair of small glasses, and she looks amiable. She must have been a big beauty when she was young. Now she has many wrinkles, which still crushes countless peers.
"What are you afraid of when eating? Everyone is watching the game, and there are no outsiders here." Black's hoarse voice sounded again: "As long as my grandson plays the NBA, Old Harry can no longer brag about his grandson's Olympics."
Guo Xu's mother Kay Statham served a dish to the guest and sighed: "It's dangerous to play basketball. Did you forget that he got an elbow a few days ago? I really don't want him to become a professional player."
Kay inherited the beauty of her mother. The two looked very similar, but she was much younger.
"What do you know? Do you know how much money can NBA players make?" Black snorted.
East Lansing is a small place, and most of the people who come to eat here are repeat customers, and there are really no outsiders.
There were two guests at a table next to him in their early sixties and often chatting with Black. One of them asked with a smile: "Have your relatives really participated in the Olympics?"
"Of course it's true, otherwise who do you think Jason's physical fitness has inherited? He inherited the excellent genes of our Statham family! Haha." Black said proudly, with his head raised, and his forehead reflected under the light.
Another old man smiled and said, "I only know that fortunately Jason did not inherit your appearance. Please sign a few names for us when he comes back."
"No problem." Black smiled and walked to the kitchen door and shouted, "Ping, why didn't you say a word? Didn't you hear it? Your son is a star."
Guo Xu's father is Guo Zhiping, who has an ordinary appearance and ambition, but his name reveals a domineering aura that can ride a dragon.
He never thought that his son would become a basketball star one day, nor did he deliberately train Guo Xu in that direction, he just lived a simple life. He had run a restaurant as usual these days, but he didn't call Guo Xu. Listening to his father-in-law's loud voice, he shook his head helplessly, but he felt sincerely proud that his son was much better than him.
Guo Xu's performance has just begun, and this is destined to be a massacre. Buddha cannot defend himself and the offensive end cannot be opened.
It took 30 seconds to go quickly. Miller beat Peterson and missed the jump shot. Richardson dribbled the ball out of the penalty area. The ball was picked up by Cliffs. He squeezed away Terry and forced his way through, quickly advanced to the frontcourt to form a 3-for-2.
Cliffs attracted Casey Shaw to make up for defense and passed it to Guo Xu on the right. Guo Xu dribbled the ball and broke through, and Haslem defended one and two.
Guo Xu glanced at Richardson in the middle and slapped the ball behind his back with his right hand. Haslem hurriedly stopped and stood on the passing route, and judged that he was going to pass the ball behind him. However, Guo Xu was a dribble behind him. After handing the ball to his left hand, he pulled the ball up and took a big step forward with his right foot, passed Haslem, jumped up gently, and scored with his right hand.
16 to 2, Guo Xu’s 8th score.
The goal moves were very coherent, and Haslem didn't react and didn't even jump.
Chapter completed!
