Guo Xu was not in a hurry to leave the park, found a bench to rest, and dialed his roommate's phone.

"Jason, inform you, the coach announced that there is no need to train for today's holiday, I've already gone out to play, you can sleep in the hotel." Guo Xu said seriously.

"What?" Jason Richardson on the other end of the line was surprised and immediately sobered up.

"Last night's NCAA bribery, illegal recruitment scandal broke out, and those involved, including Adidas executives and Wisconsin coaches, were arrested, implicating Dick Bennett, who is sure to be fired from the school. So, we qualified straight to the finals. Guo Xu continued to talk nonsense.

"Really?" Richardson got excited.

Guo Xu changed his words: "Fake, today is April Fool's Day, get up and meet at the door of the stadium for breakfast." ”

Fifteen minutes later, the two met outside the training hall, and it was not yet eight o'clock, so there was enough time to eat.

Richardson greeted with a smile: "Guo, why didn't you call me when you went out?" ”

Richardson grew up in East Lansing, and Guo Xu is young, because both of them are called "Jason" in English, in order to distinguish him, he is generally called Guo Xu's Chinese surname.

Although they have the same name, the images of the two are very different, Guo Xu is a handsome guy who can be called "little fresh meat"; Richardson was also born in 81, with a beard but looks like a middle-aged man, his facial features are very wide, the distance between his eyes and eyebrows is large, his nose is wide, and the corners of his mouth are almost grinning to his earlobes.

Richardson is two laps thicker than Guo Xu, 198CM tall, weighs 100 kg, is the strongest man in the team, the maximum bench press is 120 kg, and he often plays a cameo as a big forward in the game. In his college rookie season, he averaged 16.3 points, 9 rebounds and 2 assists per game, making a big mess and being the team's second-leading scorer.

"I got up at six o'clock, I can't bear to disturb your sweet dreams, God, I really don't want to think about that scene, don't lie down when you go to bed in the future, okay?" Guo Xu remembered the spicy picture and shook his head vigorously.

Richardson laughed: "Haha, I found that you seem to be a different person after taking that elbow, you love to talk, you can joke, lying is like the truth, just now I really thought you didn't have to play in the semifinals." ”

Do you believe that? Guo Xu shrugged. "That elbow made me figure out a lot of things, and I had to talk while I was still alive."

"Haha, it's not that exaggerated." Richardson put his arm around Guo Xu's shoulders and asked with a smile: "Yesterday you had a treat, today I invited, how about going to eat Chinese food?" ”

"Okay."

When the two were in middle school, they were good buddies who went to school together in the morning, went home together in the evening, and went out to hook up. The personalities of the predecessor and Richardson are very different, and they can talk more after being reborn.

The friendship between men progresses very quickly, and two people who don't know each other touch a glass of wine, maybe they will have to hand over their lives to each other in the future, living and dying together! There are many bandits in Liangshan who are like this, and in the United States, there are also many bold old blacks.

Guo Xu likes Richardson, not because he will be an NBA star and dunk king in the future, but because he is very easy to get along with, has no temper, no fight, is the pistachio in the team, and a tease B.

If the coach wasn't watching from the sidelines, Richardson would be doing something unbelievable on the pitch that wouldn't match his future image of being a cooler.

He likes to make fancy moves on the street court and enjoys it, although he rarely succeeds in scoring goals. He often deliberately throws the ball on the butt of the person when he serves the ball, bounces it into his own hand, and then shoots.

He catches the ball under the basket, has the "stunt" of holding the ball in the crotch of his pants, makes feints with his hands empty, and then takes the ball and shoots it for real.

He invented a dunk called "skywalk", in which he jumped forward with all his feet in front of him, kicked his legs like a bicycle when he was in the air, held the ball with both hands as if he were grasping the handlebars, and dunked the ball into the basket when he was about to fall. Not many people on the planet can do it, but it's not aesthetically appealing, it's just funny.

The most surprising thing for Guo Xu is that Richardson likes to exaggerate the imitation of the playing actions of football stars, and he has learned well, if YouTube appeared a few years ago, maybe he would have become an Internet celebrity before he entered the NBA, and he was the first generation of "imitation emperor".

In life, Richardson is a broken mouth, likes to chatter, tell cold jokes, others don't laugh at him first, and the laughter is very low.

In short, no matter how you look at it, he has nothing to do with the word "cool" at the moment.

The two of them were unfamiliar with the place, so they casually chose a small Chinese restaurant nearby and found a spacious seat to sit down.

The young Chinese waitress came to entertain her, and she was a little embarrassed when she only glanced at Guo Xu, and asked in a sneer, "What do you want?" ”

Richardson asked rhetorically, "Do you have any specials?" ”

"Our Saturday special, the tofu burger." The waitress smiled and pointed to the menu on the wall.

"Okay, four burgers." Guo Xu knew that Richardson's family situation was similar to his own, and although there was no pressure in life, there was no need to spend too much money on breakfast.

After a while, the waiter brought the burger up, plus a glass of water per person. Guo Xu ate this vegetarian burger for the first time, and the taste was much better than expected, worthy of a restaurant opened by Chinese.

The chef deep-fried a piece of round cake-shaped tofu until golden brown, sandwiched it in bread, served with wakame and topped with teriyaki sauce. It tastes like tofu, the outside is crispy when you take a bite, the inside is tender, and the hamburger is also added with a little mustard, the taste is quite special, and the two of them said it was good.

After a few bites, Richardson asked, "How did you practice this morning?" Have you regained your feel? ”

"No, there are no vacancies." Guo Xu said with a smile.

"And you can still laugh?"

Guo Xu swallowed a bite of the hamburger and said lazily: "Even if I am sad, I can't change the reality, there is a saying in China that there must be a road before the car reaches the mountain, and the boat will naturally go straight to the bridge, which means that there will always be a solution when the matter is coming." ”

Richardson sighed. "Today the coach will definitely put Jack against you, if you are beaten by him again, it will be difficult to get a chance to play tomorrow."

Guo Xuhun didn't care: "I played poorly, I should not play, but that guy had better not mess with me, I have put up with him twice." ”

Jack Lehmann, a white point guard with a height of 187CM and a weight of 85 kg, is a first-year rookie who mainly competes with Guo Xu for playing time. Due to Lyman's poor three-point shooting and similar playing style to Clifts, the coach rarely let him play, and he thinks that his comprehensive ability is better than Guo Xu, and he has always looked at Guo Xu unpleasantly.

Where there are people, there is a conflict of interest, there is a struggle, Guo Xu has been in a bad state recently, and Lehmann seized the opportunity to fall into the ground.

Guo Xu was targeted by Lehmann in both training sessions, sarcastic and sarcastic off the court, and singled out with the ball on the court. He had just been reborn before, and he didn't want people to see that his personality had changed drastically, so he was forced to suppress his anger. If the other party does this again, he will have to find a way to fight back.

Richardson frowned slightly: "Don't be impulsive, this is not the time for infighting." ”

"Of course, I just need you to do me a small favor......"

Ten minutes later, the two hamburgers were eaten, and Guo Xu's nose was smooth because of the mustard, and his mood was a little better.

Richardson gave a thumbs up as he paid. "I really didn't expect the tofu burger to be so delicious."

"Welcome back." The waitress had a big smile.

"We'll be here tomorrow." Guo Xu replied with a smile. He loves good food and has to come back to eat it again. After the game on the fourth at the latest, they will return to Michigan, and the city will not be until the year of the monkey.
