Chapter 264 [Hand-picked three, iron-blooded team soul!] 】
Guo Xu soon received a list of free agents from Brian, to be precise, the list of the remaining marginal people, and the NBA is a little famous, and even if they are not famous, most of them have signed training camp contracts.
Even so, Guo Xu is not angry, because he is very happy to join the Suns and is very satisfied with his current teammates. Even if the strength is not good, as long as you don't find fault in the locker room and drag your feet, you will be considered a qualified teammate.
Guo Xu soon found a bright spot in the list of free men - Ralph Alstom!
The former New York streetball champion was highly regarded by Marbury, but after being drafted by the Bucks with the 10th pick in the second round in 1998, he didn't get much of a chance to perform.
For three seasons, Alston was only a bench for the Bucks, and some of the streetball skills he was used to were unusable, and he would be blown over by the referee for violating the rules and walking, which caused him to be extremely uncomfortable.
His shooting was even worse, shooting 34.6 percent from the field, 38 percent from three-point range, and just 62.1 percent from the free-throw line last season, while playing 12 minutes with 3.5 points and 2.9 assists.
In Guo Xu's previous life, Alston only began to break out after joining the Heat in the 03-04 season, and no one wants it now. It's enough to poach him as a substitute, at least he has good ball control, few turnovers, and three-point ability, as long as he doesn't break through the waves.
In the future, Chinese fans will be very familiar with Alstom, his peak is in the Raptors, averaging 14.2 points, 3.5 rebounds, 6.4 assists and 1.5 steals per game.
Guo Xuxuan's second person was also famous in his previous life, Mickey Moore, nicknamed "Snake Man".
Moore is an inside line with a height of 213CM and a weight of 102kg, he is too thin, the confrontation is very poor, he can't catch the ball well with his back, and he is a stumbling person when he is hit, and he can only face the frame.
On the offensive end, he can occasionally show off his mid-range shots, which is extremely fast, can play fast like a small forward, and can cover the defender and go down. Because of these characteristics, he played a highlight in the 1999-00 season with the Pistons, playing 16.8 minutes and finishing with 7.9 points, 3.9 rebounds and 1.1 blocks. Unfortunately, he only played 29 games before he was injured.
Last season, Moore played 30 games with the Pistons and was injured again, playing only 7.2 minutes to score 2.6 points and 1.8 rebounds.
Guo Xu knew that Moore was suitable for a fast-break team, and his peak in his previous life was in the 2006-07 season, partnering Kidd, Carter, and Jefferson, and cutting 9.8 points and 5.1 rebounds in 26.4 minutes. At that time, he was a little slower because of multiple injuries, and the general inside line couldn't catch up with him.
Guo Xu flipped the list to the end and finally found a third candidate, Udonis Haslem, who is 203cm tall and weighs 115 kg, is the undrafted rookie this year.
In Guo Xu's previous life, Haslem was one of the most famous undrafted rookies in the NBA, not tall but mainly playing power forward and center, iron-blooded defense is fierce, played for the Heat team for life, is the captain of the Heat team, and the team history rebounding king.
It's a miracle that someone has been on the NBA's most mobile team for 15 years.
Who is Pat Riley, Heat coach and manager? A player who can play five seasons with the Heat is a long time, and the meritorious player Dwayne Wade can be driven away by him, and James only played four seasons before giving up brother basketball and announcing decision two.
Only Haslem, throughout his career, he dedicated all his youth to the Heat, although his average points per game is not particularly high, but he is a very qualified blue-collar player, he has won a total of three championships in the Heat, which can be said to be the "soul of the team"!
Haslem isn't exactly blue-collar either, having practiced shooting in college and being able to open up space for his outside teammates.
In Guo Xu's previous life, he averaged 12 points, 9 rebounds, 1.4 assists and 0.8 steals per game in his peak season.
Guo Xu knew that Haslem had a mid-range shot when he was in college, because he knew him when he was in the Polis time loop. At that time, Guo Xu pretended to be the second hall master of the Red Flower Society to participate in the training of Buddha University, and when he was on the first team with Haslem, the two partnered well.
After the time loop, Guo Xu didn't talk to Haslem again, but he felt that this person had a good personality, played hard, and was a suitable person to be a teammate.
Haslem played for the Florida Alligators during the 1999-2002 season and reached the NCAA Finals in 2000, where he was beaten by the Michigan Fantastic Four along with Mike Miller and Matt Bonner.
Guo Xu copied and pasted the information of the three people into a document, sent it to the mailbox of the manager, Brian Colangelo, and made a phone call.
"Bryan, I've picked the right guys, and I want you to sign all three, especially Haslem, I know him, he's a great role player."
"Don't worry, I'll do this beautifully." Brian immediately agreed, though he had never heard of the name Haslem at all.
Moore and Alston played 4 and 3 seasons in the NBA respectively, and both have agents who are easy to contact. They immediately replied to Brian with a willingness to play in the preseason for the Suns.
It was more troublesome to contact Haslem, who was an undrafted rookie and didn't even have an agent. Brian called his home phone, and the person who answered the phone was a woman, who was his stepmother, and said that Haslem had gone out and would let him call him back when he returned.
Then, Haslem's stepmother forgot about it, and Brian didn't get a call all day, and his impression of Haslem became very bad.
Thinking that Guo Xu said that he must sign this person to the Suns, Brian couldn't ignore it, so he called again the next morning, this time it was finally answered by Haslem, and after knowing the situation, he even said sorry.
"Jason Guo said he knows you, he named you, you come to Phoenix for a trip to the Suns training camp, play preseason for the Suns, as long as you play well, we will consider signing you."
"Huh?" Haslem froze for a moment, his breathing becoming a little short.
"Do you have any questions? Have you already agreed to play pre-season for other teams? Brian asked.
"No, I didn't sign up...... I was just...... So happy. Haslem replied with a wry smile, holding the phone in one hand and pinching the fat on his belly with the other, his belly was as big as being pregnant for three or six months, and he could give birth to Nezha.
After jotting down the address, reporting time, contact number and other information, Haslem put down his pen and fell into the sofa, which was a little deformed.
He's just too heavy, only 203cm tall and weighs 135kg, a whopping 20kg heavier than when he went to the draft at the end of June.
Now that he has suddenly been given the opportunity to play in the preseason, Haslem wants to cry, and he regrets that he should not have given up on himself after losing the election, and ate buffets and junk food every day. Now that the opportunity has come, how can he seize it?
At 115 kilograms, he was not selected, and all the trial teams thought he was too fat to jump. Now that he can't run, how can the Suns keep him and give him a base salary?
Jason Guo still remembers me as a loser, does he think I did well in that finals?
Haslem thought about it, there were less than two weeks left before the training camp started, and it was definitely too late to lose weight. But he still planned to go to Phoenix and thank Guo Xu in person.
The fact that a big star can remember him has already moved him very much. (https:)
