Chapter 62: 【New record, mascot】

In Guo Xu's previous life, the 2000 was called the worst draft in NBA history, but in the current view, this is more like a group of elites.
Template is "Michael Jordan" high school student De Shawn Stevenson was selected 23rd overall by the Jazz. Since the draft template is a special (pit) industry (daddy) evaluation method, many players' templates are really blinding.
Stevens averaged 7.2 points, 2.2 rebounds and 1.6 assists in his career. The template given by "experts" turned out to be Jordan?
This is an inexplicable mystery in the NBA. Many fans suspect that he has an unspeakable background. If Stevenson wrote a self-directed and self-sung theme song, a movie called "Pure Heart-Dream NBA", this group of experts is expected to give a super high evaluation and invite him to participate in the chicken award selection.
Twenty-eighth Blazers selected Eric Barkley, a 185CM tall and 80kg weighted point guard who was praised by the Lakers.
Trail Blazers manager, nicknamed "Trader", Bob Whitcht's expression is very proud, thinking that he successfully intercepted the opponent's favorite player. In fact, the Lakers didn't even want to choose Barkley. The Blazers are still small in the No. 1 position in the new season. The three point guards overlap, and a first-round pick is wasted.
The Lakers picked the blue-collar power forward Mark Madsen at the 29th pick in order to strengthen defense. This is a long-term goal.
Madson nickname "mad dog", height 206CM, weight 111 kg, poor data for four years in college. He has poor offensive means and almost no scoring ability. The only scoring means are second offense or picking up the rim.
Madsen was famous in 1999, he represented the United States to participate in the World University Games and won the championship. Despite the mediocre data, his stubborn style of play was affirmed, and the inside was well-done.
Kupchak does not plan to renew his contract with veteran AC Green. He must find a defensive blue collar to replace him. The Lakers are the weakest in the league in the depth of No. 4, and there must be a deal in the summer.
The draft entered the second round, a group of unknown college students, NCAA no data, no record players were selected one by one.
With statistics, the 14th second-round shooting guard Michael Reed was drafted by the Bucks. In Guo Xu's previous life, many people thought he was the best player of this session and was missed by the Bucks.
The Spurs are the most promising team for Hapi Waters. Two second-round draft picks did not consider Guo Xu, even if the team lacked a point guard.
Originally Popovich listed Guo Xu as the first choice for the second round. After seeing the news that Guo Xu refused the trial training, he changed his mind again. Popovich hates personalized players. When he was a Spurs manager, he gave away the rebounding Rodman to the Bulls.
In Guo Xu ’s previous life, Popovich explained his basketball theory in this way. "I don't want people to be too showy, so we will replace them. Why should we get 30 points? That's selfish behavior!"
In Popovich's view, Guo Xu was too selfish in the NCAA finals, and dancing to celebrate the goal was almost flat. So he selected Duke center Chris Caravel in the second round, and 25 selected an international point guard named Corey Hetowa.
Many reporters smell the big news. The ESPN live draft commentator said: "Jason Guo has not been selected. The NCAA ’s somewhat famous point guard has been selected. He is likely to be the first in the NBA ’s history. The MOP of the semi-finals, I do n’t know what his mood is now. "
Guo Xu was very excited and prayed with his hands folded.
As he expected, he was selected 29th in the second round and 58th in total. He was selected by the Dallas Mavericks. No one wants to cut off the height of 180cm, without the "thorn" of the data.
"The transaction should be announced today." Guo Xu knew that the Lakers had stabilized and smiled to comfort his family: "You don't have to be depressed, this position is the same as the first salary in the second round, and there are more gimmicks. The coach will give me a chance to perform. "
Every year there are some real-time transactions in the draft conference. Sure enough, Guo Xu ’s transaction was announced soon. The Lakers replaced Guo Xu ’s signing rights and some cash with Tyrone Lu.
The last sign of the Mavericks is difficult to get a contract, and the transaction will have to be wasted. It just happened that old Nielsen wanted to strengthen the 1st position, added a little cash to recruit Tyrone Lu into the array, not playing well one year later and not renewing the contract, if Tyrone Lu stays healthy in the new season, playing the first round of the show, The Mavericks made a lot of money.
Mavericks' backup point guard Robert Pike played only 29 games due to injuries, with an annual salary of 4.05 million, and will certainly not renew the contract. It's just that Tyrone Lu is not enough. In the summer, they have to find a point guard in the free market.
After a while, the Lakers general manager Kupchak personally called and smiled: "Jason, we chose you according to the agreement."
Kupchak was also relieved to be able to introduce Guo Xu into the lineup, which is equivalent to signing a lottery rookie at the minimum cost. The Lakers will not be weak in position 1 next season. He only needs to find a big player in the summer. The striker can complete the reinforcement and prepare for the defending.
"Thank you, manager, I can't wait to join the team and practice with the seniors." Guo Xu smiled.
Kupchak said: "You will have to rush to Los Angeles to participate in the Long Beach Summer League before July 4th. We hope you can play a standard and prove your strength. The specific time and place will be sent to your mailbox."
"I must compete on time and go all out."
The two chatted a few words, Guo Xu by the way asked the coach Phil Jackson's phone number, although the summer league team will not be the head coach, but he wants to take the time to say hello to Jackson.
Hung up the phone, Guo Xu smiled and said: "The general manager called me personally and notified me to play the Summer League. The Lakers have stabilized. There is not much accident. I will sign a two-year contract."
"Bring more money to Los Angeles, find a good place to eat, eat three meals a day, don't worry about money, don't get home when you get a salary, if something happens, we will go to Los Angeles to help you at any time." Dad Guo Zhiping began to plan the future, but was beaten fiercely by his father-in-law Black.
Black glared at Guo Zhiping. "What stupid things do you say about this crow's mouth? What can he do? We go to Los Angeles to lag behind. UU reading www.uukanshu.com Jason, if you can't make more money, you can give it to your family. We will help you spend it.
Guo Xu found that he was still able to talk to the bald-headed grandfather, and he liked to listen to such words the most. "No problem, there will be money, and there will be big houses and luxury cars. At the latest five years, you can have whatever you want."
This is a serious commitment. Guo Xu looked very happy with his family in this life, hoping that they would live a good life.
The next day, many media mentioned Guo Xu when reporting on the draft conference, saying that he created the embarrassing historical record of the lowest pick in the MOP draft of the semi-finals.
Hornets manager Bob Bass was interviewed and fell into the rock: "I think the Lakers chose Jason Guo for his Chinese identity, which can attract some Chinese fans, but even if he won a basic salary contract, he is definitely a marginal person and a mascot. . "
The reporter asked: "Did the Hornets invite Jason Guo to take part in the training because of his Chinese identity?"
"Of course, he has a bit of commercial value, but I am not optimistic about his foothold in the NBA, he can only be a marginal man in the No. 1 joining the Hornets." Bass said gloating.
There is a person in this world who does two things. If you succeed, he is jealous of you; if you fail, he laughs at you.
Unlike Bob Bass, Mike Miller, the core of the University of Florida, was interviewed with a low-key question about Guo Xu. Guo Xu has a low rank. Those who support the Buddha University are happy to hear, but those who have competed with Guo Xu on the field , Dare not talk nonsense.
As soon as the reporter asked questions, Miller remembered the fear that was once dominated by Guo Xu. He said: "I think Jason Guo is seriously underestimated. His height is a weakness, but his offense is terrible. Without waiting for the new season, I think he will be surprised in the summer league."
