Chapter 8 - [Frank friend]
The explanation of “want to protect the backcourt rebound” seems to make sense, but the position of Guo Xu’s feet is too accurate.
Everyone is concerned about whether the ball will be scored. No one pays attention to Guo Xu’s movements. There is no video playback in the team training. Nobody is guilty of Guo Xu’s crime when this happens.
Only Richardson guessed a little truth, he looked at his friend strangely, hesitated.
There are some actions on the basketball court that “do not violate the rules, but it’s a bit of a mistake”. “Foot padding” is a well-known one. It is more dangerous and harmful for opponents to stretch their feet to make people step on when shooting, than to shout in front of and behind opponents. Unlike deliberately pulling people out of the way, the feet are not fouled, even if they are seen by the referee.
Playing basketball in previous high school, Guo Xu stepped on other people’s feet and cultivated for more than half a month, during which he limped because he didn’t hurt. Later, it took him some time to correct the walking posture, and the injured foot could not bear much force.
Guo Xu, who twisted his ankle, of course knew that the foot pad might hurt his opponent, and knew that it was disgraceful to do so on the court, but he did it on purpose.
This is a school bully against him several times, a **** who often calls him “Chinese guy”, and a competitor who wants to kick him out of the team. Guo Xu doesn’t think he needs to talk about kindness and morality with this kind of person. Isn’t he Batman, and he needs to be polite with a clown?
Due to his living environment, he knows how to protect himself and attack his opponents.
He acts rashly, can distinguish good from bad, he can be gentle and kind to treat good people, he can be cruel to treat enemies.
In memory, when the predecessor was provoked and bullied, he always said nothing. When he retracted his head into the protective shell like a turtle, he digested it all by himself, to some extent, as a kind of motivation.
Now Guo Xu has changed. He is not interested in fighting back with words, calling the other party “white pig” or the like. He prefers to solve problems with action. You can scold me, insult me, and attack me mentally. I choose to hurt your body.
Lyman was sent to the hospital for examination, and Guo Xu then played against Cliffs. He tried his best to defend without any use, and it was very ugly to be beaten.
After the training, coach Isa did not criticize Guo Xu, let alone say he would not let him play. Even if his shooting feel hasn’t been recovered yet, he missed a three-pointer in the training game. Without Lehman, only Guo Xu was the backup point guard in the team. He would have to let Cliff Si played at the 1st place.
After the team’s holiday in the afternoon, Guo Xu’s feet had a butterfly effect. Richardson asked him to go out alone. The two did not participate in group activities. The line was also different from his teammates.
At Richardson ’s suggestion, the two took a camera to visit the Indiana government office building.
In front of the government, there are statues of historical celebrities of the state and reliefs of historical events. Inside the hall are statues of Greek goddesses and multi-layered marble columns, like a three-dimensional, simple version of a Greek palace.
Guo Xu originally thought that such a place would be guarded, but the two walked into the palace unhindered. The huge building was very quiet, and it was difficult to see the office staff. It was like a tourist attraction without a ticket.
Richardson probed his brain in front of an office with a magnificent gate, which led a female secretary to come out and asked seriously: “Are you looking for the governor?”
Guo Xu is a little ignorant, shouldn’t this be the rhythm that prevents the official from being caught? The butterfly effect is too great.
Richardson was not nervous at all. He grinned widely and said, “We are students who come here to play NCAA basketball games and want to take a photo.”
The female secretary looked at his figure and believed these words, nodded and said, “The governor is busy, you can only take pictures of the secretary room outside us.”
Then the female secretary let them into the house, and they were busy copying documents, leaving them to take pictures casually outside the governor’s office. Guo Xu pinched his thigh to confirm that this was not a dream.
Their visit to the state councilor meeting room was also very smooth. The staff opened the door of the meeting room for them to see for themselves, showing absolute trust to the students and tourists.
Guo Xu feels that this is really a magical country. Tourists can visit the offices of senior officials and mayors at will. Why are police in many places so nervous that when they encounter something, they let people hold their heads with their hands, otherwise they will be shot and killed?
Came out of the office building, Guo Xuzao found out that his friend’s mood was wrong, and provoked the topic: “Jason, do you have something to say about this morning? Don’t hide it.”
Richardson no longer fiddled with the camera and sighed: “Guo, you have changed a lot since you hit that elbow, unlike the one I knew before. I think friends should be honest, Jack was injured , I suspect you deliberately. “
“So?” Guo Xu did not deny it.
“Some of your changes are good, but there are also disadvantages. I do n’t want you to become the kind of person who will intentionally harm others. Even if it ’s your enemy, you can defeat him in other ways. Willing to help you, in short … you have done too much today. “Richardson said seriously.
Guo Xu rubbed his face with both hands and smiled, “Well, you guessed it right, I did it on purpose. Jason, you are more upright and more justified than I thought. You are really a good friend. UU Read book www.uukanshu.com “
He admitted that he was too happy, Richardson froze for a moment, and smiled bitterly: “I’m glad you didn’t lie to me, otherwise I will seriously consider whether I will be friends with you in the future.”
Guo Xu shivered, took two steps back, waved his hand and said, “Man, please don’t talk like that in the future, only Holmes and Watson will do that, it’s too gay, it makes me want to strangle you first Talk to you again. “
Richardson laughed: “Haha, although I don’t know what is wrong with your elbow, I like the way you speak now. In short, you should be a bottom line person, don’t deliberately hurt others in the future, this It is an insult to basketball. We should have a decisive victory. “
Guo Xu nodded and did not explain his thoughts to Richardson in detail. He has a bottom line, provided that the other party has not calculated and dealt with him first, even a person like Jack Leiman, just picking up the goods is equivalent to eliminating harm for the people.
Guo Xu felt that Richardson’s character was excellent, and the previous-world alliance owed him a moral style award. Throughout Richardson’s entire career, he has never had a conflict with anyone. Although his body is very strong, it seems to be the kind of person who can PK Ben Wallace. He doesn’t have any small moves on the defensive end, perhaps this is the reason why his defensive ability is average.
This is also the direct reason why Richardson is not popular in the NBA. The media likes topical players, such as the Spurs’ Bruce Bowen. His data is far from Richardson. When he retired, he was almost caught by fans. They started in the Western Stars. Richardson didn’t make the top ten in the star game even at the peak.
If his personality does not change, it is difficult for Richardson to become a superstar in the NBA, but this person is worth a deep friendship.
Guo Xu invited guests for dinner. After they returned to the hotel room, they talked about tactics for a while and took a break early.
