On the 15th, Guo Xu and Richardson were approved by the league and entered the list of rookies.

There are two ways to get into the draft.

The first is to automatically obtain the draft qualification, which can be automatically selected if any of the following conditions are met: playing in University for 4 years, graduating from high school in the United States (but not entering the University in the United States), signing a contract with a professional team outside the NBA and playing basketball (non international player), and international player reaching the age of 22.

The second way is to declare. Any player who does not automatically qualify for the NBA draft has to declare. There are two ways: one is to write a letter directly and mail it to the NBA headquarters; the other is to send an email to the NBA draft office. There will be a special staff to receive the mail. If the player meets the standard, the NBA will reply with a draft form, and the player will fill in and reply.

From now on, the two can accept the NBA team's individual trial training, such an arrangement can not only let the team understand the players, but also let the players have a better prediction of their draft prospects. If the trial training situation is not ideal, they can withdraw from the draft, which is particularly important for NCAA players.

NCAA players who have withdrawn their declaration can retain their university qualifications as long as they do not employ a broker.

Richardson didn't hire an agent. The rookie contract was signed according to the NBA labor agreement. There was no need to draw a percentage for the agent. In case he didn't want to draft, there was room for regret.

Guo Xu was suspended from school, without graduation certificate and without examination pressure. There is no joint trial in this era, the strong teams are playing the playoffs, and the right team will not seek him for trial training for the time being. But he is not idle, five days a week to practice basketball, and pay attention to diet.

He didn't dare to practice as hard as he did in the cycle of time. At that time, his body was bugged and he was not afraid of injury. Now, once he was seriously injured before the draft, everything was destroyed. Therefore, he is mainly to practice shooting, to try training feel can not be bad, if the other side requires him to increase strength, then fitness is not too late.

On April 22, the NBA playoffs begin.

Guo Xu soon came into the eyes of a team. The most interested in him was Charlotte Hornets, who wanted speed type point guards.

The Hornets have a strong lineup. Eddie Jones, the All-Star swing player, played for the Lakers before, and let Kobe sit on the bench for two years, averaging 20.1 points, 4.8 rebounds, 4.2 assists and 2.7 steals. He is 28 years old and at his peak.

The Hornets' front court starts are Derek Coleman, Anthony Mason and Eldon Campbell, all of whom are double doubles per game and can attack and defend well. This combination can rank in the top 10 in the league.

Hornets substitutes have Brad - Miller, Byron - Davis, Ricky - Davis and other outstanding young players, the depth of the lineup is significantly better than the opponent Philadelphia 76, but the first round 1:3 was eliminated.

The reason is very simple, the Hornets 1 position has the flaw, cannot prevent 76 people to be in charge of the star Allen Iverson.

Starting point guard David Wesley is 183cm tall and weighs 90kg. His arms are as thick as many people's heads. He moves slowly. His defense effect on position 2 is better than that of defense guard and can't keep up with Iverson's speed. His nickname is actually "Mickey Mouse". Who has seen such a stout Mickey Mouse?

In 1999, Byron Davis was also a strong man. He was 191cm tall and weighed 95kg. He didn't look like a point guard. On the defensive side he can keep up with most defenders, but Iverson is a small part.

In the first game, Iverson scored 40 points, 5 rebounds, 3 assists and 3 steals, leading the 76ers to a good start. After that, he relied on his sharp breakthrough to let the Hornets two point guards frequently fall into foul trouble, with obvious advantages.

After being eliminated, the Hornets scout submitted Guo Xu's information, and the management decided to invite him to come for a trial training, and sent an invitation to his agent, harpy. Even the items to be tested were clearly stated. Guo Xu could have targeted training, so if he didn't play well, he would have no excuse to leave.

Many teams in the East regard the 76ers as a playoff imaginary enemy, choosing a quick little guard to defend Iverson. It's just like all the playoffs in the West will try to sign a blue collar center with meat shield to deal with Shaquille O'Neal, otherwise they won't win.

Harpy immediately called Guo Xu and explained the situation.

Guo Xu thought for a moment, and then said, "help me directly refuse it. I won't go to Charlotte for trial training, and I'm not interested in joining the Hornets."

"What? Are you crazy? " Harpy called from the other end of the phone.

"Is there anything strange about this?" Guo Xu asked.

"Do you think you're Steve Francis? You're not a big brand. You'll be finished when the media exposes your refusal to try

Francis refused to go to Vancouver for training last year. He was signed by Grizzlies and refused to report. After that, he was traded to the Rockets. He didn't want to play in Canada in ice and snow, far away from his family. The only thing he did in Vancouver was that the Grizzlies made the most offensive press conference in NBA history before the Grizzlies traded him.

A NBA game has not played, Francis has become the league's number one thorn, with a nickname - privilege!In Guo Xu's previous life, there were many NBA players who refused to try training alone. None of them was a big brand rookie who was favored at that time. Arrogance needs capital.

For example, Stephen curry was very fond of Knicks in the 2009 draft conference, and the Knicks also intended to win curry in eighth place, so he directly refused the warriors' trial training. The results of the warriors in the seventh place strong selection library, he had to obediently report to the team, the results established a dynasty.

"Ball brother" ronzo Bauer's 17 year draft is devoted to the Lakers. He only participated in the trial training of the Lakers and the 76ers, but refused the Celtics, who almost hurt the face of the giants.

Ben Simmons was even better in the draft, refusing all the team's trial training, proving that talent can really do what he wants. Simmons was finally signed by the 76ers.

Different from Guo Xu, he was unknown before the semi-finals. If he refused the trial training, it would be very unfavorable for the future development.

After half a minute's deliberation, he decided to stick to his point. "Push it, I really don't want to go to the Hornets, I have confidence in my own strength, I will never lose because of this, you know my goal is only the Lakers."

Harpy now felt that Guo Xu's determination was overdone, to the point of arrogance. "Jason, I know the Los Angeles market is good, but what if the Lakers don't want you? There are three point guards in the team

Guo Xu said with a smile: "as long as you give me the opportunity to go to the Laker trial, I will certainly be able to move the management. As long as I join the Lakers, I'm sure it's the best place for me to rise next season. I think it's too passive for the Laker management to find it. Just make a statement for me and say that I just want to play for the Lakers

“……”

Guo Xu is following the "ball brother" routine. Before the draft, "ball father" Laval has stated several times that his son must play for the Lakers, saying that he will be the "savior" of the Lakers. Finally, the Lakers chose "ball brother". Relying on repeated hype, "ball brother" also got a super high exposure rate, before the war fire.

Harpy is not a reborn. He thinks Guo Xu is crazy.
