Chapter 43 [Top point guard, own advantages]

Guo Xu has never been as glorious as he is today. When he was excited, he spoke a little incoherently, and even the incident of shaving his eyebrows in the time and space cycle was vaguely revealed. Fortunately, no one understood it.

Bing Xin once said: "The successful flower is only amazed at its current beauty. His buds were soaked in tears of struggle and sprinkled with the drizzle of sacrifice."

No one can succeed casually, and only he knows some of the efforts he has made.

At the beginning of the award ceremony, Guo Xu was successfully elected to the semi-finals MOP. Captain Cliffs and Peterson took over the championship trophy together. The two of them burst into tears. This is the most heartfelt youth!

Guo Xu won the MOP, but would not compete with the captain for the chance to win the championship trophy. This is the moment for the two. They had the strength to participate in the NBA draft, but were willing to play for Michigan State for four years.

After returning to the locker room after the award ceremony, many middle school classmates who Guo Xu had not contacted for a long time called and sent text messages to congratulate him on winning the championship and winning the best player. Everyone knew that he made a big splash and would definitely play in the NBA. However, Guo Xu's family did not call to congratulate him. They were all scared by Guo Xu's performance today.

My family knows Guo Xu's level best. He has been playing with Richardson for many years, and his level is far worse than "Black Jason". But in the last two games, "Black Jason" is like Guo Xu's younger brother.

Guo Xu did not take the initiative to call, and sent a text message to his parents, grandpa and grandma to announce the good news. He was ready to buy a gift and go home to discuss in detail. He said that he had already prepared the remarks in the time loop.

After a while in the locker room, the Focaigne players held a press conference first.

Coach Billy Donovan took the blame for this defeat on himself.

"The core players are here, and the loss should be blamed on me in at least some aspects." Donovan admitted: "I should have the players ready for this game, but that didn't happen. Instead, it was a bad performance, and it all started with me. I thought the opponent would arrange for Cliffs, Peterson, to seriously underestimate Jason Guo's strength."

The reporter asked: "What level of point guard do you think Jason Guo belongs to in the NCAA?"

"Top point guard, I think he can play in the NBA."

Foshan players generally don’t talk much, and most of the reporters ask them to evaluate their opponents, which makes the losers feel very embarrassed.

Only the reporter interviewed Miller asked about the draft. After this big defeat, Miller had some doubts about his own strength and dared not say that Xia Tian was selected at a high pick.

Michigan State senior core player and coach Tom Izzo attended the press conference together. Guo Xu brought the MOP trophy and placed it on the table, which attracted attention.

Others in the team commented on Guo Xu.

Coach Izo said affirmatively: "It's not that I didn't use him before, he really suddenly became stronger. We arrived in Polis on the 2nd. He played very poorly in the afternoon training and was criticized by me. The next day I was preparing to reduce his playing time. Unexpectedly, his performance was completely different, and no one could defend him."

Richardson's answer was even more interesting: "I'm considering whether I'll let him give me a elbow when I go back to Michigan, maybe I'll become stronger."

The reporter interviewed Guo Xu and asked him about dancing and celebrating during the competition.

Guo Xu said: "Dance is my hobby. I have practiced tango and Latin dance. This way of celebration will make me feel happier."

The reporter asked: "Have you ever thought that this might anger your opponent?"

"Since they are opponents, it is very beneficial for us to lose control of their emotions, right?" Guo Xu said with a smile.

The reporter was very satisfied with this answer. They did not like to interview good kids. In the NBA, provocation and trash talk are also part of the game, which is very common.

Another reporter asked why Guo Xu suddenly became stronger. Guo Xu said perfunctorily: "I don't know. In the quarterfinals, I got elbowed into the hospital. I don't know which nerve I touched. When I woke up, I suddenly realized a lot of things I didn't understand before. The ball quotient has become higher. Maybe this is the reason for becoming stronger. I used to be very introverted, and my playing style was different from now. I dared not try to hold the ball to attack. Now I want to take more responsibilities."

Several players were asked whether they would participate in this year's NBA draft, and Guo Xu was no exception.

Guo Xu said firmly: "Yes, I will sign up for this year's NBA draft. I believe I have the ability to play in the NBA and are eager for higher-level games and bigger stages."

The reporter asked: "What do you think is your own advantage if you play in the NBA?"

Guo Xu smiled and said, "I am not bad in speed, strength, shooting, organization, all aspects, and my disadvantage is only height."

The reporter asked: "You got the MOP, do you think you are the best player on the team now?"

"I think these two games are." Guo Xu smiled.

He didn't say that he must be better than Cliffs, and that's likely to affect his teammate's draft pick. He didn't want to use this method to hype, so he already had a high exposure to the award.

Female reporter Audrey Jones also arrived at the scene and asked: "ABC Radio's evening news has aired the pre-match interviews between the two teams. At that time, you told me that you would lead the team to win 4,50 points and get MOP. Why were you so confident at that time?"

"Because of our strength, we have four players who can play in the NBA and top basketball coaches. It's not surprising that we win a big victory." Guo Xu replied.

Guo Xu was already popular when the press conference ended and the players left the stadium.

Major news media reported the most mentioned player Guo Xu, not just newspapers, but someone on the Internet has uploaded videos of Guo Xu dancing when he returned to defense after hitting a three-pointer. There is also a Michigan fan editing Guo Xu's highlights. He was doing some almost dancing moves while avoiding cover.

His exposure rate is the highest among all players. Most people think that he deserves the MOP. Not only is he excellent in offense, but he is not a colander on the defensive end.

Of course, some people poured cold water. Some "basketball experts" said that Guo Xu played well because the overall confrontation of NCAA players was not fierce enough, and Fo Da players were not defensively oppressive enough, and they took his physical data as an example. People with a height of 180cm and a weight of 73 kilograms in their shoes will definitely not be able to adapt to NBA-level confrontation.

Guo Xu was not worried about these remarks at all. Before the draft, the NBA team would send a trial invitation to the young players they like. As long as he showed his strength in the trial, he could dispel all doubts.

Unfortunately, there is no unified rookie training camp in the NBA in this era, so it is definitely better to show off your strength than to participate in training camps alone. Training camps are the mirror of rookies, which is stronger and which one is weaker, and it is clear at a glance when playing two games against each other.

In the future, rookies often soar or drop sharply after participating in training camps.

For example, the center D'Andrew Jordan of the rough brother was invited to the "Green House" to participate in the draft because of his strong physical fitness, not inferior to the "Warcraft" Dwight Howard. As a result, Jordan Jr. performed in the training camp in a mess, and his offense was dunked all the time, and he often didn't play with free throws. He and other centers were always beaten one-on-one on the defensive end, so he fell to the second round.

Guo Xu has no worries about not getting a trial opportunity. His only worry is that the team he wants to join will not send invitations.
