Chapter 68 [Rookie BOSS, Sexy Lolita]
In the third game, the Lakers played against the Clippers, and the game was full again.
Many media began to pay attention to Guo Xu and sent reporters to watch the game, wanting to see if the last rookie can play star data in three consecutive games. Guo Xu's opponent is Ken Yang Dulin, the highest-ranking point guard this year, with a full gimmick.
Dulin was selected by the Orlando Magic at the 10th pick in the first round. On draft day, he was traded to the Clippers with Corey Mageti, Derek Strong, a second-round draft pick and some cash in exchange for a protected future first-round draft pick.
In Guo Xu's previous life, this was a famous brain-dead deal. Considering that Mageti was the No. 13th show in 1999, the Magic were equivalent to exchanging two lottery picks for a future first-round pick. This first-round pick was extremely protected. The Clippers were not able to fulfill their lottery every year until 2006. At that time, the draft pick was sent to the Nets by the Magic.
The Magic saved $6.4 million in cap space through a series of previous buyouts and the deal, and then they signed Grant Hill for a seven-year, $93 million contract. This is a sad story.
After the game started, people did not see the fierce showdown as they imagined. Du Lin, a double-energy defender with a height of 191CM and a weight of 90 kilograms, was broken through again and again by Guo Xu, and was purely a colander.
Du Lin performed poorly on the offensive end, with the ball breaking through and not firmly receiving and shooting. He didn't know what was wrong with this game, was absent-minded, and sleepwalking throughout the game.
The Clippers also have a small point guard, Earl Boykins, who is 165cm tall and weighs 61 kilograms. He can keep up with Guo Xu's speed, but it cannot interfere with the shooting, and he is even worse off.
Guo Xu rarely encountered an opponent shorter than himself. He made crazy moves outside the three-point line. He threw 11 times in the third quarter, hit 7 goals, and scored a total of 25 points in a single quarter.
He is a sloppy player. Once his hands are hot, he will shine in without any blocking.
He played for 35 minutes, made 16 of 27 shots, 9 of 16 three-pointers, 4 of 4 free throws, scored 45 points, 2 rebounds and 4 assists.
The Clippers players' defensive moves became increasingly fierce in the last quarter. Lambis was afraid of causing conflict and was even more afraid of Guo Xu being injured, so he replaced him as an audience member. If he played for a while, he would definitely be able to cut 50+.
Other Lakers players had average attack power and finally beat the Clippers 96 to 85.
After the game, the reporters rushed to interview Guo Xu, and no one treated him as an ordinary rookie anymore. He was like a marginal person, and a big boss was involved in the rookie.
Many stars have played in the summer league season, such as Kobe averaged 24.5 points and 5.3 rebounds in 1996; Iverson averaged 27 points, 6.4 assists and 2.2 steals per game; Duncan only played two games, and he only scored 26 points in total against O'Neal Jr. and Osttarger.
Guo Xu's current performance is better than when these three stars debuted. After the first game, some people analyzed that the 2000 rookies are super strong, and no one says this now. Except for Guo Xu, only Cavaliers newcomer Jamal Crawford performed well, playing two games, averaging 16 points per game.
Surrounded by reporters, Guo Xu is not as humorous as he was in an exclusive interview. He thanks his teammates, coaches, and answers questions in a normal manner. There is a trap in the reporter's topic. He joins the Lakers. If he really compares Kobe with carelessness, would he still want to make a living next season?
Guo Xu has confirmed something now. He really has the fourth pick in this draft, which is consistent with his dream. He ended the cycle only after he met this condition, and it was not enough to be selected.
Guo Xu could not shake the status of the top three players in this year's draft. They are all top-notch physical insiders and are deeply loved by scouts. Richardson originally wanted to participate in the next draft.
As long as Guo Xu participates in several more teams to try, other new players will not be able to suppress him. McMiller can be selected in the fifth pick, and Pullsbyra is in the top ten, which shows how bad the quality of this rookie is.
In the evening, Guo Xu stayed in the hotel to rest and received a call from Austin Nicos, and he found a suitable property.
Previously, Austin went to the crew of "Holiday in the Sun" to report, held a script discussion, had a good relationship with several young actors, and found a good apartment by the way.
"It's a coincidence. When I was chatting, I said that my good friend wanted to rent a house. The supporting actress in the crew said that the apartment opposite her was being rented. She was a beauty who moved from Port St. Lucie."
"Some, many, beautiful?" Everyone has a love for beauty, Guo Xu asked word by word.
"It's very sexy. I don't know how to describe it. Her eyes are like gems. When you see her, it seems like you are going to be sucked in by her eyes. It's a kind of magic. Her lips are the kind that makes you want to kiss at a glance, not to mention her figure. She has won the National Model Award. If I were a director, I would keep shooting close-ups of her waist throughout the movie, and I would definitely make money." Austin described it selflessly.
Guo Xu gradually found a sweet image of Marilyn Monroe in his mind, and smiled and said, "It sounds like a blonde beauty."
"The beauty is right, but she is not blonde. She is a mixed-race child with a healthy bronze skin and a vibrant kind."
"Ah? Bronze skin color..." Guo Xu instantly thought of another image, feeling that he was having difficulty breathing, as if he was electrocuted, and drowned again. "Rabbit Teeth" said that he had won the model award, it was impossible that he was such a coincidence, right?
Austin couldn't find Guo Xu's strangeness on the other end of the phone and told him: "I would like to remind you not to think about anything happening to this beauty. She is only 14 years old and lives with her mother. You should be careful to keep your demeanor and not do anything. Harassing minors is a serious crime and you have to be in prison."
Damn, it's not alone. Guo Xu immediately breathed a sigh of relief and his breathing became smoother. He was only 14 years old, wasn't he just a little kid of the size of the Olsen sisters?
"Hmm, hehe." Guo Xu smiled and said jokingly, "Brother, I think you're almost ruined. My thoughts are so vulgar. I really can't believe that you actually think that 14-year-old kid is sexy. No wonder you are so obsessed with the Olsen sisters. Take the time to see a psychologist."
"She is different from the Olson sisters, you will know if you have seen it." Austin asked with a smile: "Do you want to rent that apartment? I didn't say you are a Lakers player, nor did you say you are very handsome, and you want to surprise her."
"Lease, help me decide. I won't have a game tomorrow to see the house."
The next morning, Guo Xu and Austin went to see the apartment together. The location was good and 15 minutes away from downtown Los Angeles, which was suitable for Guo Xu. He only had to buy a cheap used car and go to Staples Stadium to train in the future. The competition was not far away.
The apartment is on the third floor, and is a one-bedroom and living-friendly suite with simple furniture, a hard-board bed without mats, a desk, a wardrobe, and a bag to move in. TV, computers, etc. need to be purchased by Guo Xu himself, and the Internet must be activated by himself.
This is not the kind of white-collar apartment with fine decoration. The rent can be paid monthly, not expensive, only $400. In 2000, renting a house in Los Angeles was very cheap. Guo Xu considered investing in real estate when he had money. He could make a lot of money by selling it before the subprime mortgage crisis.
The landlord lives downstairs and it is very convenient to pay the rent. Guo Xu expressed satisfaction after seeing it and liked this environment very much.
He thinks that the small size of the apartment is not a disadvantage. Compared to living in a large house that needs to be cleaned frequently, he prefers to go out and play, participate in entertainment activities and taste delicious food.
