Legend of Tomorrow

There are many physical examination projects arranged by the Lakers, and Guo Xu gradually completed them with the cooperation of the staff.

He is 178CM tall with bare feet, 180CM tall with shoes, 190CM with wingspan, and weighs 75kg. The only change in the semi-finals is an increase of two kilograms.

He stood up and touched 240CM, bouncing 74CM in place, and 92CM in run-up, which made people's eyes shine. Such data belongs to the upper middle level in the entire NBA.

What is the middle and upper level? Taking Guo Xu's famous star Russell Westbrook as a reference, Wei Shao at the age of 19 participated in the rookie physical test and bounced 76CM in place and 93CM in run-up.

The physical quality of Wei Shao has greatly improved after entering the NBA, with the speed and explosiveness of Superman. His peak body fat content is as high as 4.8%, the vertical bounce reaches 89cm, the run-up bounce is 116CM, the sprint speed is amazing, and he can easily abuse the basket, and his 150KG maximum bench weight also makes him extremely fierce when rebounding.

Guo Xu was only 19 years old at the end of November this year. He also has a lot of room for improvement. At present, he can complete a two-handed dunk without anyone defending. Instead, it is more difficult to dunk with one hand, because he cannot catch the ball and it is easy Buckle fly.

Guo Xu's speed and agility test were also pleasantly surprised, running 11.75 seconds back and forth in the penalty area and 3.28 seconds in 3/4 sprints. The technician felt that he could be faster, because Guo Xu only wore a pair of ordinary old sneakers, and it would be better to stop for a double name brand.

When testing the 84 kg bench press, everyone was stunned. The thin-looking Guo Xu pushed ten times, which is outstanding among the point guards, and can be compared with many forwards.

Guo Xu's overall quality is in the upper middle of the NBA. Even the average level of the NBA is unattainable for most basketball players in the world. In the time loop, he has completed a terrible transformation. Without physical examination, no one would think he is so strong.

Of course, Guo Xu has obvious weaknesses, that is, his height, and he must suffer at the defensive end. If he is 190cm tall, this year can directly compete for the top spot, many teams will be interested in him. Kenyon Martin is a beast power forward, but Guo Xu is three years younger and looks more promising.

Guo Xu began to test shots with the help of sparring, catching jumpers at various points outside the three-point line, and receiving jumpers in the middle distance.

He has beaten Tyrone Lu and Fisher, and his three-pointer is more accurate than the two last season. To Jackson's surprise, Guo Xuzhong's shooting percentage is not as good as three-pointers, 45 degrees. The middle lane is good. Missed a lot from the side.

He made 79 three-pointers and 100 goals, but he only made 68 of 100 shots.

Since his rebirth, Guo Xu has always practiced three-point shooting and breakthroughs, increasing his shooting speed while ensuring three-point shooting. He only relied on the feel of the CIC and never practiced it seriously. As a rebirth, he knew very well that he played with high efficiency.

Jackson is not dissatisfied. Kobe's main scoring method is mid-range shooting. The main task of other outside players is to make three-pointers to help O'Neill and Kobe open space. Guo Xu's playing style is just right for the Lakers system.

Playing 2V2 with the three sparring players, Guo Xu showed excellent ball-holding skills. By changing to fake moves and retreating, he always had a way to create a mobile phone meeting for himself. In the face of the bag, he could protect the basketball and pass it to his teammates. .

On the defensive end, he performed averagely, being able to get close to himself, and not afraid of confrontation, but he couldn't get a shot from the shooter with height advantage.

Jackson can tolerate this shortcoming. Not only Guo Xu, Fisher and Tyrone Lu did badly in interference shots. This is a common problem for small players.

The test was not over yet, and Jackson called Kupchak. "Mickey, we have to leave Jason Guo. He is stronger than expected. I think he is 100% capable of lotto show. I think you better come to the arena."

"I'll be there in a moment." Kupchak hung up the phone and took a deep breath, feeling that the draft plan was about to be disrupted.

Players have excellent performance in trial training, and will naturally rise significantly in the draft picks. It is normal to hope for better picks and salary treatment. Guo Xu has signed an agent. The agent will definitely help him negotiate with the team. Even if Hapi is not well-known in the circle, Kupchak does not want to dare to think about it, and he can be a good agent.

Guo Xu did not participate in the trial training of other teams, does not mean that the Lakers can casually offer prices. If a person shows the strength of the lottery show in training, the draft will definitely enter the first round, and finally only get the middle of the second round of the draft pick, the salary gap is at least double.

After 15 minutes, Kupchak arrived at the arena, and Guo Xu ’s trial was just over. Under the sparring defense, he shot very easily, scored like a bag, and was completely approved by Jackson. Tyron Lu must be sent away .

Kupchak greeted Hapi and Guo Xu, directly explained the current situation of the Lakers, and was ready to bargain. "Your performance is good, but the Lakers need to use the first round of picks to reinforce the weakest No. 4 position. I can only trade for a second round to pick you. Can you accept this?"

If Guo Xu did not accept it, Kupchak would have to think of other ways. Fisher and Tyrone Lu were first-round rookies in the 96 and 98 drafts. They were older and had worse records and physical results than Guo Xu. Guo Xu deserved the 29th overall pick in the first round.

Kupchak wanted to take Tyronlu to change the draft pick to sign Guo Xu, but depending on Tyronlu's glass level, it would be thankful to get out of the trade. How could it be possible to change to the first round?

Hapi cleared his throat and was about to stand up for the benefit of customers, but Guo Xu was the first to speak.

"I can accept the second round, but I have a request."

"What are the requirements?" Kupchak speculates that it may be playing time and the like ~ www.readwn.com ~ That can be promised, but it is definitely not possible for the starter to compete in the team.

Guo Xu smiled and said: "I hope it is No. 58 rookie, that is, the last one is selected, can it be done?"

"What?" Kupchak was stunned, froze for five seconds before realizing his gaffe, and closed his mouth.

Jackson and Hapy also looked at Guo Xu with incredible eyes. They had never heard of any player wishing him to have a low ranking, and it was the lowest. This requirement was too strange.

Guo Xu shrugged and smiled: "If I care about how much money the rookie contract makes, I won't refuse to go to the Hornets for trial training. Since the first and second rounds of the second round are the same base salary, do I want the last place? The coach knows my strength anyway. "

Kupchak reacted first and laughed: "So, what do you want is the gimmick of the last rookie? If you play well in the new season, you will be more likely to get media attention, make big news, and become more famous. "

Jackson froze for a moment, and laughed regardless of his image. He has been a player for many years and then a coach. After spending too many years in this circle, he has never seen such a bold and careful person like Guo Xu. And his idea was very genius, and he chose a path that was unprecedented.

This is Guo Xu's reverse thinking. Not only did he accept the second round of conditions from the Lakers, but he also used the characteristics of the media for his own benefit while earning the same salary. The final rookie did not beat the draft picks. People are more attractive. Hundreds of thousands of less earned will become advertising costs.

Kupchak smiled and asked: "If the Lakers officially say that your test results are not good and don't want to choose you, you can certainly accept it, right?"

"Of course, we are so determined?" Guo Xu reached out his right hand.

Kupchak shook hands with him and nodded, "It's settled."
