Chapter 1 [NCAA is not a dream]
"The fourth pick in the 2000 draft, the Chicago Bulls chose point guard Guo Xu! Jason-Guo!" (music of Jack Sparrow, the protagonist of "Pirates of the Caribbean")
Guo Xu, who was wearing a white suit in the "Green House", stood up excitedly after hearing the introduction of NBA president David Stern, hugged the amiable parents beside him, hugged Dilraba Dilmurat, and pushed Lu Han away.
He recalled the past and lamented today; he slept on firewood and tasted gall, and he had the bitterness and sweetness!
He loved watching NBA football games when he was in elementary school and liked basketball, but his family was poor and there was no basketball, and there was no court nearby, so he didn't have the opportunity to learn to play basketball.
Because he was too thin in junior high school, he was not even qualified to participate in grade basketball games in his class, so he could only shoot in physical education class.
When he was in high school, he wanted to represent his class in the school basketball game but was rejected. He was also ridiculed by his classmates for being thin like a stickman.
After getting admitted to university, he was over 1.7 meters tall and finally had the opportunity to play the entire school basketball game. His strength was average and he could not be selected for the school team.
After graduating from a third-rate university, he became a salesperson in an electrical appliance company. His salary was low and he could not find a girlfriend. So he didn't want to talk about anything when he attended a classmate and friend gathering, and only talked about sports, film and television, and games.
Outside, he always smiles and is happy, trying his best to hide his inferiority and numb himself with a sense of humor.
At home, when he was brushing his teeth before going to bed, he faced the mirror and laughed at the clown he played in the mirror.
In any case, he always loves basketball, and his most amateur entertainment activity is playing streetball. He will take time to watch NBA games, follow NBA news, and dream of (YY) to become a professional basketball player.
Now, he finally ushered in the harvest season! He created a miracle! His draft pick is only one lower than Dalius Myers who went to steal the answers to the test paper with Black Widow and Captain America!
Guo Xu put on the draft hat and walked onto the stage slowly.
His eyebrows are like sharp swords, his eyes are like stars, and his sharpness seems to penetrate a person's body and see the depths of his soul.
He looked around...(Music stuck)
There was no dense crowd, crowded audience, no gorgeous stage with flashing lights, no tsunami-like cheers, no big scene, and even President Stern was gone.
The light in the room was very dark, and Guo Xu opened his eyes and stared blankly at the white ceiling.
Where am I? Who am I?
It turned out to be a dream, no wonder it was a bit fake, but the others looked real, but how could the talent show venue be so simple?!
Guo Xu smiled self-deprecatingly, thinking about what he thought about the day and dreamed about the night. He had never experienced a big scene, so how could he dream about the big scene?
He looked at the wall clock on the opposite wall, and it happened to be six in the morning.
He looked at another bed next to him. The strong black man about two meters tall was sleeping soundly. The "tent" was so terrifying that he saw it. As soon as he saw this person, he breathed a sigh of relief. He was still the point guard of the Spartans at Michigan State University. This was not a dream, thank God.
Guo Xu slowly stood up and tiptoed into the bathroom.
He didn't use soap and facial cleanser. He washed his face twice with water in his hands and wiped the towel. He brushed his teeth for a few seconds, and it took less than a minute in total. Then, he looked in the mirror for five minutes.
Four days ago, he was a 29-year-old Chinese squid who lived in the late 2018. His life was extremely dark. When he was a child, his parents divorced, and his mother remarried to other cities, and he never saw him again. His father was an unmotivated bastard, who liked smoking, drinking, and playing mahjong. Sometimes he would treat him as mahjong after drinking too much.
Somehow, he woke up and went to a hospital in the United States. In 2000, he became a handsome mixed-race guy who was elbowed and unconscious in an NCAA basketball game not long ago, looking like Hollywood star Keanu Reeves.
He became able to speak English and had a person's memory in his mind. This mixed-race predecessor was named Guo Xu in Chinese, and his English name was "Jason" (Jason), which originated from Greek and means "a person who heals wounds and a person with rich knowledge."
In the United States, he has a complete family, his father is Chinese and his mother is British. The two run a small restaurant in East Lansing, Michigan.
His predecessor was an honest and very introverted person, and most of the time he was facial paralysis and bored. He was an only child, and his parents were strict in charge and could not take a step forward in independence. He was all in elementary and middle schools in East Lansing, and was admitted to the local Michigan State University a year ago.
East Lansing is nominally a city, but in fact it is more like a small county town, with a total population of only more than 40,000, and a large part of it is students. In addition to universities, it also includes public schools, six elementary schools, a middle school and East Lansing High School.
It is obvious that his predecessor was a guy who had never seen the world. He had never left his house since he was a child. He was not even as good as Chinese squids. At least he lived in the Internet era when information explosions, he had never eaten pork, and had seen pigs running.
Guo Xu left the bathroom and continued to take photos, he would look good. He was 100% satisfied with his current identity and this skin. As for his previous name, just think it was a nightmare and forget it.
He put on his sportswear, sneakers, sports bags on his back, and took his basketball out of the hotel, preparing to go to the nearby park court to practice more.
He had to practice more, and his current situation was really a bit embarrassing.
Since he never thought he would be reborn one day, he never made preparations for this. He is a poor student and his major is unpopular in college. He has never known what his expertise has for many years after graduation.
I'm looking for a programmer to work on Facebook, Weibo, and develop cloud computing? How can he know how these things come up?
Be a copycat? He has read many novels, comics, films and TV series, and famous people have some impressions, but when he was in school, he was very immense in writing 800 words, and he could only doodle paintings, and he could not be a copycat. In the same outline, can the things written by master writers and flopped writers be the same?
He has a strong figure and a good appearance. It is also a choice to be an actor in Hollywood by relying on his appearance. However, he has never been involved in the film and television industry, has no acting skills, and has no background.
As for the work of industrial development, he couldn't do it. He only regretted that he had little time to use the book, and he didn't know how difficult it was to go through it.
The only thing Guo Xu wants to do now is to play basketball. His advantage is that he likes this sport for both lives. He is familiar with NBA stars and can tell their technical characteristics and career highlights. Most ordinary players can be named, and remember the life trajectories of many players before 2018.
His weaknesses are also obvious. He is only 180cm tall and weighs 73 kilograms. He has an ordinary figure, even if he has a 190cm arm span, his basketball talent is also average.
He is just the Spartans' substitute point guard. He relies on playing team basketball, has average breakthrough ability, is a good at passing awareness, is good at receiving and shooting, has very poor defense, and has little playing time. The team's starting point guard is the famous NCAA star Martin Cliffs, who will become a high-ranking NBA rookie in the summer.
Today is April 1, 2000. The Spartans have reached the final quarter of the NCAA and the semi-finals will start tomorrow.
