Guo Xu was in a hurry to leave the park, so he found a bench to rest and called his roommate.

"Jason, let me know that the coach announced that there is no need to train during the holiday today. I'm already out to play. You should sleep in the hotel." Guo Xu said seriously.

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

"Last night, the NCAA bribery and illegal recruitment scandal broke out. The person involved, including Adidas executives and Wisconsin coaches, was arrested and implicated Dick Bennett. He must be dismissed from the school. So, we directly advanced to the finals." Guo Xu continued to talk nonsense.

"Really?" Richardson was excited.

Guo Xu changed his words: "Fake it, it's April Fool's Day. Get up and go to the entrance of the stadium to meet for breakfast."

Fifteen minutes later, the two met outside the training hall. It was less than eight o'clock and there was enough time to have dinner.

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

Richardson grew up in East Lansing and was a child with Guo Xu. Because both of them were called "Jason" in English, in order to distinguish, he was usually called Guo Xu's Chinese surname.

Although they have the same name, the two have huge differences in images. Guo Xu is a handsome handsome guy and can be called a "little fresh man". Richardson was also born in 1981 and looks like a middle-aged man with a beard. His facial features are very wide, his eyes and eyebrows are large, and his nose is wide. When he smiles, the corners of his mouth are almost grinning to his earlobe. He looks ugly at first glance, but he is a good-tempered person.

Richardson was two laps thicker than Guo Xu, 198cm tall and weighed 100 kilograms. He was the strongest person in the team, with a maximum bench press of 120 kilograms and often played a guest appearance as a power forward in the game. In the rookie season, he averaged 16.3 points, 9 rebounds and 2 assists per game, which was a terrible mess and was the team's second scorer.

"I got up at six o'clock and couldn't bear to disturb your dreams. God, I really don't want to remember that scene. Can you not lie flat when you sleep in the future?" Guo Xu remembered the scorching scene and shook his head vigorously.

Richardson laughed: "Haha, I found that after you got that elbow, you seemed to have become a different person. You like to talk and joke, and you can lie and be real. I really thought you didn't need to play in the semi-finals."

Do you believe this? Guo Xu shrugged. "That elbow made me figure out a lot of things. I have to talk more while I am still alive."

"Haha, it's not that exaggerating." Richardson put his arms around Guo Xu's shoulder and asked with a smile: "You treated me yesterday, and I'll treat you today. How about going to have Chinese food?"

"OK."

When they were in middle school, they were good friends who went to school together in the morning and went home together in the evening. Their personalities were very different from those of Richardson, and after their rebirth, they got even more up to date.

The friendship between men is progressing very quickly. Two people who don’t know each other and may have to hand over their lives to each other in the future! Many bandits in Liangshan are like this. In the United States, there are also many generous old men.

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

If the coach is not watching the training on the sidelines, Richardson will do something incredible on the court, which is completely inconsistent with his future cool image.

He likes to use fancy moves on the street court and enjoys it, although he rarely scores goals successfully. When he serves the bottom line, he often deliberately throws the ball onto someone's butt, bounces it into his own hands, and then takes action.

He caught the ball at the basket, had the "special trick" of holding the ball in his crotch, and made fake moves with his hands empty, and then took the ball and shot it.

He invented a dunk action called "Walking in the Air". He jumped forward with all his strength on his face frame, pedaled his legs like riding a bicycle when he was stuck in the air, and held the ball with both hands as if he was holding the handlebar, and dunked the ball into the basket when he was about to fall. Not many people on the entire earth can do this action, but it has no beauty and is purely funny.

What surprised Guo Xu the most was that Richardson liked to imitate the playing movements of stars in exaggerated ways and learned to behave well. If you appeared in youtube a few years ago, he might have become an internet celebrity before entering the NBA and was the first generation of "imitation emperor".

In life, Richardson is a silly mouth, likes to whisper and tells cold jokes. He is happy before others don’t laugh, and his laughter is very low.

In short, no matter from any perspective, he currently has nothing to do with the word "cool".

They were not familiar with the place, so they chose a nearby Chinese restaurant and found a spacious seat to sit down.

The young Chinese waitress came to entertain her. She looked at Guo Xu and asked in a coquettish manner, "What do you want?"

Richardson asked back: "Are there any special dishes recommended?"

"Our restaurant's special meal on Saturday, tofu burgers." The waitress smiled and pointed to the menu on the wall.

"Okay, I just need four burgers." Guo Xu knew that Richardson's family situation was similar to his. Although he had no pressure on life, there was no need to spend too much on breakfast.

After a while, the waiter brought the burger, plus a glass of clear water for each person. This was the first time Guo Xu had this vegetarian burger, and the taste was much better than expected. It was worthy of being a Chinese restaurant.

The chef fryed a piece of round cake-shaped tofu until golden brown, put it in the bread, paired with wakame, and drizzled with teriyaki sauce. This tasted like tofu. It tasted crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. The burger also had a little mustard, which tasted very special, and the two of them said ok.

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

"No, the empty space is not accurate." Guo Xu said with a smile.

"Then you can still laugh?"

Guo Xu swallowed a sip of the burger and said lazily: "Even if I look sad, it cannot change the reality. There is a Chinese saying that there must be a road before a car arrives at the mountain, and the boat will naturally be straight when it reaches the bridge. It means that when things come, there will always be a solution."

Richardson sighed. "Today, the coach will definitely let Jack face you. If you get beaten up by him again, it will be difficult to get a chance to play tomorrow."

Guo Xuhun didn't care: "I played badly, so it's okay if I didn't show up, but that guy would better not mess with me. I've endured him twice."

Jack Lehman, a white point guard with a height of 187CM and a weight of 85 kg, is a first-year freshman, mainly competes with Guo Xu for playing time. Because Lehman's three-point shooting poor and his playing style is similar to Cliffs, the coach rarely lets him play. He believes that he is stronger in overall ability than Guo Xu, and he has always disliked Guo Xu.

Where there are people, there will be conflicts of interest and struggles. Guo Xu is in poor condition recently, and Lehman seized the opportunity to take the lead.

Guo Xu was targeted by Lehman in both training sessions, sarcastic and sarcastic off-field, and played the ball on the court. He had just been reborn before, and he didn't want people to see that his personality changed drastically and was suppressing his anger. If the opponent did this again, he would have to find a way to fight back.

Richardson frowned slightly and advised: "Don't be impulsive, this is not the time for internal strife."

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

Ten minutes later, after eating two burgers, Guo Xu felt better because his nose was smooth and he had a smoother feeling.

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

"Welcome again." The waitress smiled brightly.
