Hassan Whiteside was dancing happily at home, and the whole family was happy for him, and his mother Debbie cried excitedly.

Becoming a first-round rookie, even if it is only the last, means that he can sign a contract with the team and get a four-year contract, and have time to prove himself, and even if he is laid off, he can make a lot of money.

It was a huge sum of money for his family, and they all felt they had made it.

Hassan was raised by his mother Debbie. Like many black families, his father left early and abandoned his old women and children. If in China, the men were Charlotte and the women were Ma Dongmei. When he was a child, Debbie had to do four jobs to raise six children.

Hassan was impatient to participate in the draft after only one year of playing NCAA, hoping to improve the life of the whole family. He achieved three triple-double blocks, 182 blocks throughout the year, surpassing Sean Bradley to become the freshman with the most blocks in American history.

He averaged 13.1 points, 8.9 rebounds, 5.35 blocks per game, but his draft market has been underestimated because he went to school too late and is already 21 years old this year. In addition to his rough skills, scouts only listed him as an alternative for first-round picks.

He also did something strange in rookie training camp. When the Heat came to inspect the rookie, he seemed to lose confidence. He turned his head away from the training hall without saying a word, which stunned the Heat's scouts.

After this incident, he was labeled as having a problem with his mentality. If the Suns didn't choose him, they would definitely fall to the second round.

Guo Xu has a good impression of Hassan. Although it was said that he had ADHD, EQ and IQ in the early stage, as long as he was trained properly, he would have a lot of future prospects. It would be worth choosing such a newcomer with a potential.

If he doesn't choose him, would the Suns choose Lance Stevenson in the first round? Both of them are very stupid, so it's right to choose a big one.

In Guo Xu's previous life, this guy did something incredible after joining the king, which brought the king's management's view of him to freezing point, and even labeled him as "immature" and "low IQ".

It is said that after signing a contract of 400,000 yuan for annual salary, he drove a Mercedes-Benz sports car worth more than 500,000 yuan to train that day, and everyone in the team showed incredible expressions. Later, he fought in the Development League and soon he couldn't make it with the King.

Fortunately, Hassan wisely chose to go to China to accept socialist transformation and became a pioneer of socialist basketball. He could not play CBA, and averaged 26 points, 17 rebounds and 5 blocks per game in NBL, and won the championship and MVP with a total playoff victory. Later, he led Jiangsu Tongxi to the finals.

After returning to the NBA in 2015, Hassan played two shocking seasons at the Heat, becoming the first person in NBA history to go from a base salary to a maximum salary.

Interestingly, when he was transferred to the Development League by the Kings, Hassan worked as a teammate in the Renault Bighorns and Jeremy Lin for a while, and their later rise was like a cheat.

Jeremy Lin was even more excited when he heard his name and jumped up from the sofa.

He was watching TV at home, and in the second half of the second round draft, he was already desperate and guessed that he would lose. NBA scouts are this kind of virtue. Guo Xu, who was a mixed-race Chinese, almost lost. No matter what physical data or university data, the scouts first check whether they are "black and hard".

Being selected is not everything going well. Jeremy Lin is preparing to practice shooting hard in the summer and go to the summer league to prove himself. Many low-ranking second-round rookies cannot get contracts, and the basic salary has to be achieved.

Moreover, after joining the Suns, Jeremy Lin can only be a substitute or even a marginal person, so he has to compete fiercely with Dragic. Both of them are heavy defenders who are 191cm tall.

His opportunity lies in the fact that once he stays, he can ask Guo Xu for advice during training and learn some skills and experience.

Now all players in point guard positions in the world, whether small guards or heavy guards, imitate Guo Xu's playing style, practice three-pointers, practice change direction breakthroughs, and regard him as a role model.

Guo Xu doesn't know how to run a basketball training class to teach people how to play. If he wants to get his guidance, the only way is to join the Suns.

Jeremy Lin quickly figured this out. He was very smart and was the first player at Harvard to enter the NBA in nearly 50 years. When he graduated from high school, Jeremy Lin had a GPA of 4.2. Because Harvard does not provide basketball scholarships, he went to Harvard to get into the exam. When he graduated from college, his GPA reached 3.1.

Of course, his playing numbers are not bad. In Harvard's fourth season, he averaged 16.8 points, 4.5 assists, 4.3 rebounds, 2.6 steals and 1.2 blocks, with a shooting percentage of 52.5% and a three-point shooting percentage of 32.1%.

After this draft, Guo Xu chatted with Brian Colangelo for a while as usual.

"Have you read the free agent list? You can contact the agent next." Brian asked.

"I'll send it to your email tomorrow. You don't have to trade it all, just a few. It's very strong if you have Sergi and Udunis at the 4th position. They must stay."

"Okay." Brian paused for a moment and said with a smile: "The old man asked me to ask you, are you really not considering participating in the World Championships this year? If you want to go, he will send you an invitation."

"I will definitely not go. Even if I participate in sports competitions, I will choose other events and I will vomit if I play basketball."

This summer, the Men's Basketball World Championships will be held in Turkey from August 28 to September 12. Former Suns boss Jerry Colangelo has become the chairman of the American Basketball Association, hoping to ensure that the United States can win the championship. It has been 16 years since they won the last World Championships, but no big-name stars are willing to join this time. Guo Xu, James, Wade and others collectively withdrew.

Guo Xu knew that Mengjiu could win easily without him, because the lineups of other teams were even weaker. The World Championships gradually became a useless flavor. The core players from various countries such as Yao Ming, Parker, Ginobili, and Nowitzki also did not participate in the game for some reasons.

If you don’t even have a decent opponent, what will Guo Xu do? Why do you use slaughtering a ox?

The Dream Nine team is not the strongest lineup, at least there are several All-Stars and a group of second-rate stars in the team. Coach K will win according to the tactics of 2008, and he will encounter some challenges when facing Spain.

Guo Xu even wanted to participate in shooting, archery, fencing and taekwondo competitions. After he became a master in the time loop, he had not participated in the official competitions. He asked the agent team to check if there were any major competitions in the summer and was preparing to sign up to play.

If a star like him crosses the border to participate in other projects, the organizer will definitely welcome him. If he is not strong enough, the other party will want to help him win a few games. As long as he has not been eliminated, he will definitely attract the attention of a large number of fans and increase the popularity of the event.

Guo Xu thought it was not that easy to participate, and the time was not up to par. Large-scale fencing competitions were usually held from October to April of the following year and would not be held in summer.

The National Archery Championship is in October, and the NBA preseason will begin by then, and Guo Xu also missed the qualifying round.

In March, Guo Xu will definitely not be able to participate in the next competition. He can’t take a leave of absence to play the regular season, right?

There are many shooting competitions, but there are in Los Angeles. Most of them are amateurs. Guo Xu was no longer interested after listening to the general situation. Participating in that is pure hobby, not many people follow it, and I guess he can't even get the news.

It would be more troublesome if he was on the news. Last season, Arenas became famous in the NBA because of his "gun possession goal" and was suspended for dozens of games. Recently, NBA players want to say that they have never seen a gun in their life, and Guo Xu really shouldn't have liked guns at this time.
