Legend of Tomorrow

In 1998, 20-year-old Mike Bibby was selected by the Grizzlies with the second pick. In that year's draft, he beat out many stars such as Jamison, Carter, Nowitzki, and Pierce.

Nicknamed White Devil, he is actually a gentle and very low-key person. He likes to stay in corners where the spotlight cannot shine, and there is never any negative news in his life.

If you were to select the most athletic white player in the NBA, Bibby would be on the list. His style of play is not flashy but practical. He has a strong body, big biceps and bigger chest muscles. He can protect the basketball and is rarely blocked. He likes confrontation, but at heart he is like a black man wearing white skin.

This is a hereditary talent. Bibby's whole family has very good sports genes. His uncle Jim is a well-known starting pitcher in baseball MLB; cousin Robbie is a forward in MLS Toronto FC; another cousin Xiao En is a wide receiver for the Pittsburgh Steelers in the NFL; among the major sports leagues in North America, only the NHL does not have Bibby's family.

Nash couldn't get a big contract with the Mavericks in 2004 and chose to join the Suns. The big reason was that he was beaten by Bibby in the 2004 playoffs. In the years 2001-2004, the Mavericks suffered not from the Spurs, but from the Kings, who were eliminated twice.

In the previous seven games against the Lakers in the Western Conference Finals, Bibby averaged 22.7 points, 3.6 rebounds and 4.4 assists per game, even though he was eventually eliminated.

At the last moment of G5, he contributed a buzzer-beater to help the Kings narrowly win by one point. In G7, he scored 29 points. In overtime, when the entire Kings team was misfiring, Bibby was one of the few who could stand up and score.

Unfortunately, Bibby was never selected for the All-Star Game in his previous life. During his peak years, there were too many star point guards in the Western Conference, and his team's record was not eye-catching enough. In this world, Bibby is doing better. After joining the Magic, he was selected to the All-Star once and won a championship ring last season.

Guo Xu put his bag on the sidelines and looked at it for a while. When Bibby stopped shooting and went to the sidelines to drink water, he took the initiative to say hello with a smile. Hi Mike Bibby, nice to meet you.

Bibby was stunned for a moment while holding the water bottle, and realized that he didn't recognize this person. He asked with a smile: Are you a new staff member or a fan? If you are a fan, I will sign your name and leave. You can't enter the training ground casually. .”

I'm not a fan, but I want to join the Magic team to train together. Guo Xu stretched out five fingers: It only takes five minutes and I can prove myself by shooting three-pointers. Mike, can you help me with this?

Huh? You're not going to let me pass the ball to you, are you? Bibby looked at Guo Xu in disbelief.

This request is very unreasonable. Guo Xu is just a nobody, but Bibby is an NBA star. Ninety-nine percent of the stars will be angry.

The grumpy person probably called the security guard, but Bibby was one of the one percent. Although he was reluctant, he was not angry either.

Guo Xu smiled slightly and explained in a slightly magnetic British accent: Just throw the ball for a while. You can help me talk to the trainer and ask him to help pass the ball. It won't take much time. As long as you call timeout, I will do it right away. Walk.

Bibby thought about it and decided to give him some face, because Guo Xu had a good image and looked into his eyes when he spoke, looking full of confidence. He was curious about what Guo Xu was capable of.

Maybe he is really good and would be an excellent outside sparring partner?

As promised, you can leave as soon as I tell you to stop. If there are too many people coming later, they will chase you away, which will be bad. Bibi said with a smile, looking good-natured.

Bibby felt a natural affection for Guo Xu when she saw him, probably because Guo Xu was of Chinese descent. Bibby is of Chinese descent. His maternal grandmother is Chinese and her surname is Tang. He also has this surname tattooed on his back.

It is difficult for him to find traces of Chinese in his appearance, but his mother is different. She is not tall, has yellow skin, black hair and black eyes. He once said that his mother is completely Chinese and knows more than he does. Things about China.

Bibby chatted with trainer Eddie Owens for a while and said that Guo Xu wanted to be a free sparring partner and do a small test. If he felt unqualified, he would leave immediately.

This is to interact with the fans before training. The trainer has agreed to it after seeing the stars, so he will naturally not object. OK, you can catch the ball and shoot three-pointers from various positions.

Guo Xu took off his coat and started to warm up. Just the warm-up surprised the two of them because he was extremely skilled in dribbling. He combined continuous crotch dribbling and behind-the-back dribbling. He changed direction very quickly and successfully dunked with both hands.

Eddie opened his mouth and looked at the court with dull eyes and asked, Mike, is this really a fan? I'm sure his explosive power is better than yours, and he dribbles the ball very well.

A connoisseur can tell the secret at a glance, and Bibi swallowed hard. He said he wanted to come to the Magic to train. He probably wasn't a professional player, but he was too fast... There probably weren't many people in the entire NBA who were faster than him.

The shadow of Iverson appeared in both of their minds. Guo Xu had a tender face and looked like a college student. They all feel that if Guo Xu is a college student and is very strong in actual combat, with this quality, he will be the top pick in the draft next year.

After the warm-up, Guo Xu, with Eddie's help, began to shoot three-pointers from various points. Bibby was gradually stunned on the sidelines because Guo Xu's shooting was more accurate than him.

He quickly scored 10 goals in a row, 20 goals in a row, 30 goals in a row, 40 goals in a row, and 50 goals in a row. Not only did he run and catch the ball, but he also shot very quickly. He was not fixed at one point and shot. There are no dead ends.

It wasn't until the 53rd ball that Guo Xu missed a 60-degree shot from the left.

How accurate can a person who won the three-point championship during the All-Star Weekend be with his training shots when no one is guarding him?

Guo Xu's three-point shooting percentage in training this season has reached 80%, and sometimes it can reach 90% when he is in good condition. Even so, he is not the most accurate in the NBA. Kapono, Stojakovic, Mike Miller and others are said to be more terrifying.

In his previous life, there was a white power forward named Novak. A reporter interviewed him and asked him how many goals he had scored after practicing three-pointers for an hour. He said he didn't know and missed three.

This shouldn't be bragging. Novak is a strange person. He is unqualified in all abilities except shooting three-pointers. He has been in the NBA for 11 seasons.

After missing the shot, Guo Xu stopped himself. He suspected that Bibby had forgotten to call a timeout.

Bibby rubbed his eyes and suspected that he was dreaming, because Magic players were not so accurate.

Which university are you from? What's your name? Didn't you participate in the NBA draft? And why didn't you come to tryout before the season started? Bibby asked several questions in one go.

I am a free agent. I graduated from college but did not participate in the draft. Guo Xu replied.

Why don't you participate? Your physical fitness should be top-notch in college. Bibby expressed doubts that such a person should not be unknown.

Guo Xu is in a different situation than Canon Baker back then. Even if he is so fast and has poor confrontation and poor defense, there should be teams willing to bet on his talent.

I just don't want to participate. Guo Xu asked: Mike, are you interested in playing 10-ball bullfighting? Give me a chance to show off my skills.

Bibby thought this was a bit evil, and was even more curious about Guo Xu's level, so he nodded without thinking. bring it on.

Guo Xu moved his wrists and shoulders and said with a smile: You must go all out, because I am very good in single combat.

... Bibi couldn't laugh or cry. You attack first and let me see how powerful you are.

Just kidding, no matter how good you are, you are just an amateur player. How can you beat me, an All-Star?
