Legend of Tomorrow

Guo Xu found a few words with his grandfather in the crowd, and then went to the celebration party with Richardson and Austin.

The young people played all afternoon, and Guo Xu called Austin and Richardson to dinner in his restaurant at night. Austin is full of praise for Guo Zhiping's cooking. He likes to eat here when he is in middle school. Neighbors know that the reason why Guo Zhiping can marry Guo Xu's mother, cooking has played a decisive role.

That night, Guo Xu invited two friends to live at home, play games and chat all night.

Most of the topics revolve around the NBA. Richardson is a person with selective difficulties. Even if Guo Xu expressly wants to leave, he is still considering whether to stay in school for a year.

Guo Xu promised to persuade him to participate in the draft in the time loop, and began to take fierce medicine. "If the Spartans record declines sharply next year, even if you have a good stat in the draft, the pick will be lower. Take part in the draft this year, otherwise you will regret it."

Richardson still hesitated: "But my stats are not good enough, only average rebounds per game, I came to the power forward in the quarterfinals, grabbed a lot of rebounds, in case I do not make the top 10, they still let me play What about power forwards? "

Guo Xu smiled and said: "Then Tom will let you continue to play forward next season, you have more playing time, what about double rebounds per game? Can't you not deliberately not rebound?"

"..." This is very likely to happen, Richardson's task includes a protection of backcourt rebounds.

Guo Xu went on to say: "You must be the core next season, but if there are no big-name high school students to join, the team will not be able to win the championship, it will be difficult to maintain the dominant position in the top ten leagues. Sign up together. "

The location of the court and the team's record are Richardson's dead spots.

"Thousands of dollars are hard to buy, I am willing" means that some things I know are wrong and I am willing to do it, others are useless. Richardson is most afraid that Izo will continue to let him play as a forward. He treats himself as an outside player from the bones. Short power forwards are not popular in this era. His thinking will not be easily reversed.

Austin complained on the side. "Does this matter need to be considered? I must run this year! If I can play in the NBA, I will be satisfied with the bottom salary at the end. You still want to stay in school for another year. Is your brain wrong? NBA first-round rookie earns Do n’t you know how much? "

Richardson no longer hesitated, let alone leave him as a brother who knows nothing about fire dance.

Austin played in Michigan for two days, and returned to Los Angeles alone. If the two went to Los Angeles for training, he would do the East hospitality.

On the 10th, Hapi Waters came to East Lansing and Guo Xu to sign the contract, and officially became his agent.

As a result, the two of them had a disagreement just after signing the contract. Hapi suggested Guo Xu to fill out the declaration form with the English surname and participate in this year's draft.

The United States does not have a unified ID card and no household registration system. Governments at all levels obtain citizen information from DMV (Motor Vehicle Office). In the United States, almost all citizens have a driver ’s license. The United States ’regulations on driver ’s license are that drivers must register with the DMV every time they go to a place for more than 15 days, otherwise they will be regarded as driving with invalid documents.

Therefore, in the United States, a driver ’s license is an ID card. A driver ’s license is required for domestic flights, a driver ’s license is required for staying in a hotel, and a driver ’s license is required wherever identification is required. Only people with disabilities who have never driven a car for a lifetime, or elderly people from new immigrants, etc., do ID cards.

With such a system, it is naturally not difficult to change the name. Many Asians will change a white English surname in order to fight against hidden racial discrimination and find a good job, otherwise many recruiters will say NO as soon as they look at their resumes!

Hapi smiled bitterly: "You are a mixed race, why don't you want to change your surname? In sports circles, people generally think that the Chinese are of average physical fitness, and are not as good as black and white players in all aspects of explosive power, speed, and bounce. As long as you and your mother change their surnames, Stanson, with your old London accent, maybe the first round of the draft.

This is a fact, but Guo Xu has a different view. "Hapi, there is a Chinese saying that things are rare, have you heard?"

Hapi shook his head. "Are you saying that using Chinese surnames is unique?"

Guo Xu ’s unhurried explanation: “Although Chinese player Wang Zhizhi was selected before, he has not yet come to the NBA. The last Asian player to play in the NBA was 53 years ago, a Japanese-style three-axe with a height of only 170cm ... oh no, It ’s Misaka. Do n’t you think it ’s a good gimmick? People who do n’t remember it for so long will remember that the media will advertise that I am the NBA Asian first person. As long as I hit the standard, I will become an Asian in the future. Proud, a legend! "

In 1947, Misaka was selected by the New York Knicks BAA (former NBA) draft. In the 1947-1948 season, Misaka Gen scored 7 points in three games on behalf of the Knicks and was subsequently cut. His experience is almost negligible.

Hapi puts more emphasis on benefits: "If you are selected in the second round, even if the first few are selected, the salary will be double that of the rookie at the end of the first round. At the end of the first round, about 700,000, you are only about 300,000. You do n’t mind this gap. ? And the second-round rookie signs up to two years of contracts, lacking security. "

Guo Xu laughed. "I do n’t mind the money, are you afraid that you wo n’t be able to sign a big contract in the future? You do n’t have to plan carefully for the rookie contract. I have a reputation, and I can make a profit with an advertising endorsement. The strongest Asian players are more conducive to it. Propaganda, more likely to receive ads. "

There was no such precedent before, but the league does welcome Chinese players to play in the NBA. President David Stern has personally been to China to promote and promote it ~ www.NovelMTL.com ~ Hapi thought for a while and sighed: "You It makes sense to use the Chinese surname. Anyway, many people in the NCAA finals already know that you are Chinese. "

Guo Xusong breathed a sigh of relief. In fact, the real reason why he didn't want to change his name was that he didn't want to call it "Jason Stanson".

Recently, my grandfather boasted to others that he had inherited the excellent genes of the Stanson family. He felt a lot of hair when he got up every morning. If he changed his surname ... 30-year-old Xie Ding, 40-year-old baldness is his destiny.

Hapi also suggested that Guo Xu falsify on the side of the body, wear heightening shoes, insoles, and three pairs of socks, if possible, quietly pad the toes when standing sideways.

"Even if you can't measure 188CM, you have to fight for 185CM and the minimum is 183CM." Hapi solemnly said: "In this way you will have more opportunities to prove yourself and not let management despise you."

"Isn't this deceiving yourself?" Guo Xu rolled his eyes. "If I join the team, how tall will my teammates and coaches be?"

Happi smiled bitterly: "This is the unspoken rule of the NBA. Do you think Iverson really has 183CM in height? He takes off his shoes at 178CM. If your body data shows that it is shorter than Iverson, who would be optimistic about you? "

There are a lot of players in the NBA who falsify their height. This is a well-known secret. It is normal to falsely report 5CM, and often falsely report 10CM to be noticed.

Guo Xu did not want to make a false report. He thought that if Iverson reported 180CM instead of 183CM, it would be more inspirational and greater. His popularity and status are based on strength, not on the extra 3CM.

"No need to persuade, I will report my true height when I'm on the side, I will prove myself in the game." Guo Xu's advantage is not height, he firmly believes that he can play well in the NBA.
