The training class was over. A young black man with a height of more than one meter nine in the front row waved to Guo Xu and said aloud: "Jason, can you sign me? I ’m from the University of Arizona team, I want to participate in the NBA draft next year. "
Guo Xu walked over to him, took over the jersey and pen, and smiled: "No problem."
The young man smiled and asked, "Can you sign a sentence, James Harden, I'm waiting for you in the NBA, Jason Guo."
"..."
Guo Xu glanced at him a few times, and found that this man who was a bit like Ji Kejunyi was really Harden, but his beard was too clean, and he looked like a child, and he was not domineering at all.
The University of Arizona where Harden is located is in Tucson City, about 180 kilometers away from Phoenix, and the self-driving journey is about 1.5 hours. Harden visited the Suns many times last season, but Guo Xu did not pay attention to him.
Guo Xu smiled and said: "James, I have heard of you. You played well in high school and last season."
"Really?" Harden exclaimed.
In 2007, the University of Arizona ranked ninth in the PAC10 alliance, with a total of 10 schools. Under the leadership of first-year player Harden, the team scored 21 wins and 13 losses in the 2007-08 season, ranking fifth in the league.
Harden averaged 17.8 points, 5.3 rebounds and 2.1 assists per game. If he sees the draft this year, he will definitely be selected. The pick is not low.
The team's fifth place was a breakthrough, but they failed to reach the NCAA32, so Harden decided to play for another year.
Guo Xu signed him and took a group photo. He said with a smile: "I suggest you keep your beard, it will be more domineering and play well. I am optimistic that you will be selected next year."
Harden without a beard looks awkward, just like Guan Yunchang played by Donnie Yen, some people can't do without a beard. And Harden, who has no beard, is not good. This is the impression of Guo Xu's previous life.
The idol actually suggested to himself, Harden's excited twinkling stars. "Thank you Jiyan, I started to grow a beard."
"I think your physical fitness is good, and you are hard enough to do it." Guo Xu patted Harden on the shoulder. "Practice more shots, the shots are not allowed, and no matter how good the technique is, you can't be a superstar."
"I will work hard!" Harden said loudly, full of energy.
Guo Xu has promised to take a group photo as long as he sees an impressionable future star in these years.
Young players do not know that they will become famous in the future, and they all say that Guo Xu is the most superstar. As the first player in the active league, he speaks better than many ordinary All-Stars, and Jordan is two extremes.
Klay Thompson ’s father was a Lakers narrator. He often went to the home to watch the ball and took photos with Guo Xu.
Westbrook is playing and is also Guo Xu's fan, the two have seen it once.
Kyrie Irving was fortunate to have singled out with Guo Xu during a fan meeting, and was mistreated. This is normal because Irving, 16, is too good. He plays like Cai Xukun ...
Do n’t underestimate the simple photo, this is an incentive for young people, and may change their lives. If they post the group photo online in the future, fans will find that Guo Xu inspires so many people.
Back in the dressing room, Guo Xu took the initiative to chat with Gasol and gave him suggestions.
"Mark, usually communicate with Udonis to reduce your weight as soon as possible. If you want to get a lot of playing opportunities, you must reduce your weight to less than 120 kg."
"I will work hard." Little Gasol smiled bitterly. He was despised for years because of his weight.
Rocket scouts gave him the nickname "manboobs" in the 2007 draft, and it spread to him, so his previous life was lower than Sun Yue.
Boobs is a saying for women, that is, those obese men with sagging like women. Gasol Jr. now has long hair, and he does look like a fat woman.
Haslem interjected and said: "It's very simple. I was fatter than you when I first entered the league. It has been reduced in one season. Do you not eat junk food now?"
"I quit." Little Gasol smiled.
Although they were Spanish, their family moved to Memphis in 2001, and they emigrated with the big Gasol who came to play in the NBA. Gasol Jr. immediately fell in love with the fast food here. The fattening effect of hamburgers, french fries and fried chicken is obvious. As long as he can control his diet, his body shape will get better.
Guo Xu also proposed, "You cut your hair too. Didn't you find that the powerful players are almost all bald? Except me."
"..."
In the training camp, Guo Xu had a younger brother with a new bag.
Little Gasol trained to lose weight under the guidance of Haslem every day. Haslem habitually followed Guo Xu and worked as a bodyguard for many years, so Little Gasol also became a follow-up, oversized bodyguard.
But Gasol Jr.'s playing time this season is not enough, D'Antoni is more inclined to let Jordan play as a substitute, and even arranged tactics for him during training, let him play like Howard in the dream eight team.
Because Jordan has a stronger defensive rebounding ability, the height of 211CM and the weight of 120 kg can resist most centers. The top-level bounce and 229CM wingspan allow him to easily complete the assist defense block.
On the offensive end, Jordan has the power to play pick-and-roll. The speed of air cutting is not inferior to Stoudemire. The weakness is that he has no technology and no range. Once the opponent uses the shark-cutting tactics, he can go down and rest.
After playing the Olympics, D'Antoni has new inspiration, ready to let the rotation team try to press the defense in the frontcourt in the new season. The team rotates to play a lot of people, physical strength is not a problem, the tight frontcourt can also allow the inside to guarantee back defense.
After the start of the preseason, the Sun made some attempts, not only to play fast breaks, but also occasionally let two of Jordan, Stoudemire and Gasol make up the inside double tower.
When the opponent's shooting percentage is not high, the double towers can better defend the restricted area and protect the backcourt rebounds.
After Jordan joined, Sun's overall rebounding ability is stronger. Except for Gasol, the inside are all rebounders, and both short power forwards are able to grab.
Jordan is the most efficient rebounder. He can grab five rebounds in about 15 minutes. With his superhuman body, if he has enough playing time and is responsible for defending the restricted area, he has the potential to compete for the rebounding king.
In Guo Xu's previous life, Jordan Jr. peaked in 15.3 rebounds in 31.5 minutes, including 4.3 offensive rebounds. He is more efficient than Dennis Rodman, the big worm. Even if he has the suspicion of brushing, this kind of data can't be brushed out by most people.
When the two towers are on the scene ~ EbookFREE.me ~ The sun attack is mainly based on positional battles. One person plays a pick-and-roll in the middle, and one person has no ball shield on the side.
Gasol Jr. had no chance to show his ability to cope. The defender's breakthrough was too sharp. As long as he blocked people to help the guard get rid of, he had a chance. Needless to say, Guo Xu's technique, the general inside cannot even be replaced by Lowry.
Lowry's strength is improving steadily. He also imitates Guo Xu's playing style, shooting three points, breaking through and organizing fast breaks.
In the preseason, Guo Xu only played a symbolic dozen minutes. Lowry and Roy got many performance opportunities. They can lead the team to attack and play beautiful data.
Lowry averaged 11.1 points and 6.6 assists in the preseason. In the game against the Clippers, he sent 8 assists in a single quarter. The sharp breakthrough completely disrupted the opponent's defense.
Roy played about 30 minutes, 20+ games, 44.4% shooting rate seems not high, but he made 38.3% of his three-pointers, averaging 2.6 three-pointers per game, and improved significantly compared to last season.
With reservations, the Sun achieved an excellent record of 5 wins and 2 losses ...
