Chapter 2 - [Pros and cons, cruel reality]
Guo Xu jogged along the street while thinking about the current basketball situation.
He knows the situation in the NBA. This year, the Lakers will defeat the Pacers 4 to 2 to win the championship. This is the beginning of the new century Zijin Dynasty. He does n’t know who is the NCAA champion every year. NCAA ’s attention is limited to the United States. Even the **** fans of the Chinese will not watch college basketball.
This year, the Michigan State University Spartans, the University of Wisconsin, the University of Cincinnati, and the University of Florida Alligators broke out in four divisions. According to the schedule, the semifinals will start on April 2 and Michigan will face Wisconsin and Cincinnati against Florida. The winner of the two semi-finals will advance to the finals, scheduled for April 4.
The quarterfinals were held in the Indiana capital of Polis. The Pacers had just built the Conseco Arena for more than a year. The Pacers have flown to Toronto to prepare for the game. They will rest until April 5 after playing the Raptors. On the day, give way to the NCAA Finals.
Michigan is this year’s big hit, the nation’s top seed, point guard Martin Cliffs, swingman Morris Peterson and Jason Richardson, all three are judged as NBA level by major media and experts player of.
There are pros and cons to being a teammate with the star. The star attracts defense. As long as they are willing to score, the role player may get a good shot or even an empty opportunity to score easily. If it completely overlaps with the star position, it will be bad. For example, Michigan’s talents in the 2nd and 3rd positions will play for 3 or 5 minutes per game.
Cliffs is very strong, with a height of 188CM and a weight of 93 kg. He can make a guest appearance at No. 2 and Guo Xu thus got the opportunity. Coach Tom Izo likes fast breaks and will send a double back at a certain time. Guo Xu has averaged 16.5 minutes per game this season, scoring 6.8 points, 1.3 rebounds and 1.8 assists.
The semi-final opponent, Wisconsin led by coach Dick Bennett, was only the No. 8 seed in the Western Conference Championships. It was an unexpected upset, defeating the No. 9 seed in the division. California State Fresno, No. 1 seed Arizona Wildcats, No. 4 Seed Louisiana State and No. 6 seed Purdue broke into the semifinals.
The media generally believe that Michigan won not be a good sign. Wisconsin’s lack of talent to break the table star, but this year’s largest dark horse, morale is strong, relying on defense to win. Their ability to eliminate the Wildcats with Richard Jefferson and Gilbert Arenas proves their strength.
Florida almost scheduled the finals. The University of Cincinnati stumbled into the semifinals. During this period, it lost the star. For two consecutive years, the beast power forward Kenyon Martin, who was elected the best defensive player for two consecutive years. .
“Let let! Let let!”
The sound from behind interrupted Guo Xu’s thinking. He turned around and saw a man with a full set of protective gear riding a bicycle, rushing towards the car madly rushing towards this side.
Guo Xu hurried to the side, construction was not far in front of the street, and a large **** was formed in the mud pile, but this person did not slow down, nor changed direction, and went straight to the slope.
What kind of spirit is this? What courage is this? Guo Xu felt aroused, and suddenly a poem appeared in his head-“I laughed from the horizontal knife to the sky, to keep the liver and gallbladder two Kunlun.”
The rider rushed up the **** and flew up with the bicycle. The sky was his limit.
Saw that the bicycle turned over a big heel in the air, out of the knight’s control, he only fell halfway down and then fell, unfortunately lost to gravity. With his back on the ground, he fell heavily in the mound, raising a dust, and then the bicycle fell next to it with a loud noise.
Guo Xu’s mouth became O-shaped, and some could not believe what he saw.
It is not surprising that the number of Americans is small. The youth of some Americans is a trick game. In China, how could this lunatic be seen early in the morning?
Guo Xu stolen in his heart, he felt that every kind of fun and pleasure actually contains the ingredients of gloating, no exception. But the schadenfreude should also show demeanor to the victims, so he swallowed and ran forward, pulled out his Nokia phone from his bag, and planned to help call an ambulance.
The knight stood up slowly, rubbing his waist with his left hand and waving his hand to him: “Thank you, I’m fine.”
“Are you sure?” Guo Xu looked at him and sighed in his heart: This physical quality is great.
“Of course.” The knight patted the dust on his body, showing a smile, and the corner of his mouth twitched.
Guo Xu sighed, tucked the phone back into his pocket, and one thing was better than one less. He would not be kind enough to persuade strangers to go to the hospital, busy with his business matters.
There are many parks in the city of Polis. Guo Xu chose the one closest to the designated basketball training hall, which happens to have an open-air basketball court.
He practiced alone for an hour, and gradually became depressed. He is still unaccustomed to this new body. The shot is either strong or weak, and he misses the basket again and again. Not to mention making a three-pointer, he can’t guarantee a hit rate even for a mid-range shooter close to the penalty area, averaging ten free throws.
The only sure way he can score is the civilian layup. The dribble movement is not very smooth. With his current physical condition, his personal ability is only afraid of choking into the Chinese high school team. Playing NCAA is purely a drag and was coached Scolding is too normal.
If people are used to driving a car, UU reading www.uukanshu.com only needs to change to a new one, even if the performance is good, it has to adapt to a period of time. The car is still the same, how can it adapt to the new body? Guo Xu knew it was too late, no matter how hard he tried, it was futile to not give up hope.
The reality is very cruel. He will not be in the limelight this time in the semifinals, nor will he be selected in this year’s NBA Draft. The best result is that he won this year’s NCAA championship with the team and became the qualification for the future draft.
Fortunately, he is young and can improve his strength in college for three years. Next season, Michigan State University is still a strong side of the NCAA. As long as there is no accident, the NBA’s future inside All-Star player, “Big Black Bear” Zach Randolph Summer Meeting Joining, “dunk king” Jason Richardson will also choose to stay in school.
Has excellent teammates, Guo Xu will continue to help the team to compete for the championship next season, and if it improves its reputation, it is theoretically possible to become a professional player. He is very optimistic, even if the basketball career is not successful, he still has this handsome face to guarantee the bottom, what are you afraid of?
He missed another mid-range bottom line and the ball popped off the court.
At this time, a thin white boy who appeared to be in his early tens, about 1.5 meters tall, with long blond hair, and a thin figure came over, pointed to the other half, and smiled and asked, “Hey, we want to talk to us Do you play together for a while? We are short of individuals. “
Guo Xu looked over there, crying and laughing. These are five white boys, all skinny, probably senior pupils, who want to pull him to play three-on-three. If they are playing with NBA players, 80% will stage a “basketball dream to Nima”.
“No, I’m leaving if I have something to do.” Guo Xu picked up his basketball and stuffed it back in his bag and left the court.
It doesn’t make sense for him to play well with these children. It’s better to go to breakfast and recuperate to prepare for the team training in the morning.
