Chapter 415 [The sky is not alarmed, the first mental retardation]
In NBA games, there are often cases where teams with good lineups are "not strong when they meet weak" because of various reasons, insufficient preparation before the game, excessive pressure on players, poor psychological quality, etc. The most common reason for "submarine in the gutter" is "understanding the enemy".
The Magic core despised Guo Xu, thinking that he was really an amateur player, and the outcome of despising MVP was imagined.
Guo Xu will quickly advance and launch a counterattack, lead the team to run and bomb, and help his teammates perform. The three white teams can get off quickly.
In the positional battle, he waited for his teammates to pull away and play pick-and-roll with Zaza Pachuria. The inside switch was farther and he made a three-pointer. The distance between him and the distance was closer. Bibi would pass the ball with double-team.
He always weakens the side, allowing the wing players to not turn to defense, and have an easy shooting opportunity with a pair of substitutes. Although the White team is a group of substitutes, except Bogans, the other players have good shooting, and Zaza has all made mid-range shots.
After playing for 10 minutes, the White Team was ahead of the Blue Team.
There has not been a running and bombing team in this world. All teams are mainly in the slow-paced position. They also strictly prevent the restricted area on the defensive end. The outside relies on rotation to interfere with shooting. It is very uncomfortable to encounter a three-point maniac like Guo Xu.
Rivers asked for a timeout to arrange defense and double-teamed Guo Xu, and he was still able to play. It was difficult for the opponent to attack him during counterattack, and he could divide the ball into a suitable position in the positional battle.
What surprised Rivers the most was Guo Xu's mentality. He scored consecutively and assisted the stars, but his expression was always light and calm, as if it was natural. This is simply the defender version of "Stone Buddha", and the sky is not shocked!
What Guo Xu did was like playing online games. A master built a small account and installed a newcomer to abuse vegetables. Of course, he was not surprised. Moreover, this master could also cheat, and even big accounts could abuse once he cheated...
In addition, Guo Xu and O'Neal were really excited to play. He knew the advantages and disadvantages of the fat man very well. After all, he had been a teammate for two years, and they had a tacit understanding of the defensive end when they cooperated with the water.
The players who played on the court were even more surprised.
O'Neal's eyes widened, feeling that Iverson didn't make him feel so uncomfortable. If this man became a teammate, he wouldn't be very happy this season, and the two MVPs were obtained again.
Ma Long was distracted several times on the court. He felt that Guo Xu was better than his old partner and Stockton at his peak.
Bibi's heart was broken, and the difference between the two was visible to the naked eye. He was so naughty.
Where did this guy come from? If he joins Magic, I will definitely have to play as a substitute instead. The next step is that the management should trade me out, right?
After about two quarters of the match, Rivers announced the end of the training. He counted Guo Xu's data. In just a moment, he scored 27 points and 10 assists. If he played for 40 minutes, his efficiency would be easy to be 40+10.
Guo Xu's face remained unchanged when he left the court, his breath was stable, and he could tell at a glance that he was still very strong. But he was not famous in the basketball circle, and no one had ever heard of such a powerful Chinese player.
Any time he joins a university team, he should be the one who dominates NCAA, so everyone has set their brains on it.
O'Neal asked curiously: "Which university are you from? Did you encounter racism when you are not famous in NCAA? Is it because the coach will not let you play?"
Guo Xu doesn't know how to answer, so he can't slander the university coach, right? Michigan Spartans coach Tom Izo sneezes wildly, who is far away in East Lansing.
Coach Rivers was very happy. He felt that this was the rhythm of "the great task of heaven". As long as the Magic signed Guo Xu, they would definitely establish a dynasty again. Even if O'Neal is old, Guo Xu and McGrady can lead the team to win, and perhaps this time they can win four consecutive championships.
McGrady in this world is not that heavy in offense and defense, and only plays 35 minutes per game as the second boss, and she is very healthy. If Guo Xu really partnered with them, it would not be surprising that he swept the entire league. This is similar to the Lakers' "Big Three" configuration, and there is also an extra Bibi.
Rivers is ready to let Bibi play as a substitute in the future. He is not even as defensive as Guo Xu, and he has no fight at all.
Guo Xu went to the Magic locker room to take a shower, and then went to the manager's office with Rivers. Rivers believed that the most important thing now was to sign Guo Xu. If he joined other teams, he would be a fatal enemy.
Guo Xu met the legendary character, the first mentally retarded person in the history of the NBA League, and the magic manager John Gabriel.
In Guo Xu's previous life, it was not until Gabriel announced that he had Parkinson's syndrome in 2012 that everyone understood why he made many magical decisions when he was a manager.
He left a famous saying "I don't want to give you more money than pennies to avoid making him unhappy", giving Lakers O'Neal for free.
Long before joining the Magic, Gabriel was constantly mocked by many experts as "brained". When he became the general manager of the 76ers in 1986, he traded Moses Malone, holding the No. 1 pick of that year, and then gave the No. 1 pick to the Cavaliers almost for free.
The Cavaliers used this No. 1 pick to choose Brad Doherty, and they were selected as All-Stars many times in their career and became a team celebrity.
In 1993, he sent the No. 1 pick Weber to exchange Hardaway. At that time, many people laughed at it as stupid as giving the No. 1 pick for free in 1986. Unexpectedly, the ending this time was much stupider.
In 1996, he not only did not give O'Neal a high salary, but instead teased O'Neal, and initially offered $54 million for four years. In order to use special means to keep O'Neal, he even publicly accused O'Neal of poor rebounding and defensive shortcomings.
The funny thing is that in 2000, Gabriel just won the Best Manager Award and immediately signed Grant Hill, locking the Magic's cap space for many years, and then he left the Magic to harm the Knicks.
In 2010, Gabriel facilitated a mid-term deal for the Knicks, Rockets and Kings.
In this tripartite deal, the Rockets sent McGrady to the Knicks, Joey Dorsey and Carl Landry to the Kings, Kevin Martin, Hilton Armstrong from the Kings, Jared Jeffries and Jordan Hill from the Knicks, as well as swaps for the 2011 first-round draft pick and a 2012 first-round draft pick (top five picks protected).
The Kings sent point guard Sergio Rodriguez to the Knicks and got Larry Hughes from the Knicks.
As for the Knicks, they got McGrady from the Rockets as they wished, and believed that McGrady, who had lost her knees, was a superstar.
Gabriel is a mentally retarded person who can always find a job, which shows that many NBA bosses are even more mentally retarded. However, in this world, this guy won the Best Manager Award twice, received countless praises, and was blessed with great luck.
As soon as Guo Xu entered the door, he looked at Gabriel, and suspected that this was also a time traveler or a rebirth.
Rivers excitedly talked about how powerful Guo Xu is. "John, I can assure you that if he teams up with Shackle and Tracy, we may be able to break the Bulls' regular season record of 72 wins and 10 losses in the future. He is so powerful, better than Bibi and McGrady."
"It can't be so exaggerated, right?" Gabriel also looked at Guo Xu and smiled bitterly: "Jason, why haven't I heard of you before? Which university did you graduate from? Have you not participated in the NBA draft?"
"University of Michigan did not participate in the draft because I was obsessed with it before and just wanted to be a chef." Guo Xu replied.
“…”
The answer was really fresh and refined. Rivers Khan said: "Are you crazy? Are you so good at playing football? Do you know how much money can you make in a year of playing in NBA?"
